WHEREAS, each capitalized term or phrase used in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as the meaning ascribed to such term or phrase in the Lease unless expressly otherwise defined in this Amendment; and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to further modify the terms of the Lease in accordance with the terms and conditions herein provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration paid by each party hereto to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.    Term.

B.    Early Expiration Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the option to cause the 8A Extension Term to expire prior to the 8A Extension Term Expiration Date by delivering written notice (the “Early Expiration Option Notice”) to Landlord on or after March 31, 2017 (the “Early Expiration Option Date”). If Tenant properly delivers the Early Expiration Option Notice, then the 8A Extension Term shall be deemed to expire on the date set forth in the Early Expiration Option Notice, but in no event earlier than thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the Early Expiration Option Notice.

B.Ramp-Down Schedule.

i.The parties acknowledge that the entirety of the Electricity Consumption Threshold as of October 1, 2016 (i.e., 770 kW) may be available for use in the Premises during the balance of the 8A Extension Term, notwithstanding the reduction in the Electricity Consumption Threshold set forth in Section 2, above. The parties further acknowledge, however, that the amounts of monthly Base Rent for the period occurring from and after November 1, 2016 (the “ECT Ramp Down Period”) are based on the thought that Tenant’s utilization of power will be “ramped down” through the end of the 8A Extension Term (e.g., the Base Rent stated in Section 3.A, above, for the month of November 2016 is based on a reduced Electricity Consumption Threshold of 700kW, as follows 700kW x $[***]/kW = $[***]/month.). In this situation, “700kW” is referred to as the “BR Ramp Down Reference” for the purposes of calculating the Base Rent amount for the month of November 2016. The intent of this Section 3.B. is to account for the possibility (and results) of Tenant’s utilization of power in excess of the Electricity Consumption Threshold at any given time during the ECT Ramp Down Period.

ii.Landlord will review Tenant’s actual electricity consumption for the Premises during the ECT Ramp Down Period on a quarterly basis. Notwithstanding the Base Rent chart set forth in Section 3.A., above, if, as a result of such review, Landlord determines that Tenant’s UPS power consumption in the Premises during a calendar month under review exceeded the then-current BR Ramp Down Reference on a kWh basis over the entirety of such month, then Tenant agrees to pay additional Base Rent for such month

[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.




(the “BR Ramp Down Make Good Amount”) equal to the positive difference between (a) the result of $[***]/kW multiplied by the BR Ramp Down Reference that would have been sufficient to include such UPS power consumption, and (b) the amount of Base Rent actually paid by Tenant attributable to the Original Premises, 2A Expansion Premises, 4A Expansion Premises, and 6A Expansion Premises-A, collectively, for such month.

iii.Any BR Ramp Down Make Good Amount shall be due and payable by Tenant no later than thirty (30) days after receiving an invoice (a “BR Ramp Down Make Good Invoice”) therefor from Landlord.

iv.For example: if (A) during December 2016, Tenant’s UPS power consumption was the kWh equivalent of 705kW, and (B) Tenant had timely paid $[***] for such month as Base Rent attributable to the Original Premises, 2A Expansion Premises, 4A Expansion Premises, and 6A Expansion Premises-A, collectively, then the BR Ramp Down Make Good Amount for such month would be equal to $[***] (i.e., [$[***] * 770kW (the BR Ramp Down Reference for October 2016)] less $[***]).

4.    Estoppel. Tenant hereby (a) confirms and ratifies the Lease, as amended hereby, (b) acknowledges that, to the best of Tenant’s actual knowledge, Landlord is not in default under the Lease as of the date this Amendment is executed by Tenant, and (c) confirms that, to the best of Tenant’s actual knowledge, as of the date this Amendment is executed by Tenant, Landlord has no outstanding obligations with respect to the Tenant Space and/or under the Lease that would, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, result in Landlord being in default under the Lease.

5.    Commissions. Landlord and Tenant represent to the other that it has dealt with no broker, agent, referring party or other person in connection with this Amendment, other than Paul Adams on behalf of Tenant, and that no other broker, agent, referring party or other person brought about this Amendment. Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) by any broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with the indemnifying party with regard to the transaction contemplated by this Amendment. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration of the Term of the Lease or any renewal or extension thereof.

6.    Confidentiality. Each party agrees that (a) the terms and provisions of this Amendment are confidential and constitute proprietary information of the parties; and (b) as such, the terms and provisions of this Amendment are, and shall be, subject to the terms of Section 17.19 of the Original TKD Lease.

7.    Miscellaneous.

A.    In the event that the terms of the Lease conflict or are inconsistent with those of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall govern. In that connection, the Lease is hereby amended as and where necessary to give effect to the express terms of this Amendment.

B.    Except as amended by this Amendment, the terms of the Lease are hereby ratified by Landlord and Tenant, and shall remain in full force and effect.

C.    This Amendment shall become effective only upon execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.

D.    This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same Amendment. Landlord and Tenant agree that the delivery of an executed copy of this Amendment by facsimile or e-mail shall be legal and binding and shall have the same full force and effect as if an original executed copy of this Amendment had been delivered.
