support in connection with (a) all equipment and personal property to be used by Customer in the Customer Space, including without limitation, Customer Equipment, and (b) all telecommunications, data, Internet and power cabling of lines and connections from the Point of Demarcation into and throughout the Customer Space as provided by Customer.

2.3 Throughout the Term of the Agreement, Customer shall maintain the Customer Space in an orderly and safe condition in accordance with all applicable laws, and the Rules and Regulations. Customer shall provide the Customer Access Roster to QTS on or prior to the Start Date, and thereafter, from time to time, as the information in the Customer Access Roster may change or be amended by Customer (including names, addresses, signatures, pager numbers, e-mail address and telephone number of the then current Representatives). Customer or its contractors shall be responsible for and shall properly maintain in accordance with manufacturer instructions and requirements the Customer Equipment and all personal property located in the Customer Space (“Customer Maintenance”).

2.4 Except as more specifically set forth on a Work Order, Customer is entitled to use up to, but not to exceed, 150 watts of electric power per square foot of Customer Space (“Power Capacity”). QTS will notify Customer when electric power usage reaches 90- 95% of Power Capacity. In the event that Customer’s electric power consumption exceeds 100% of Power Capacity consistently for five (5) consecutive hours (“Excess Demand”). Customer agrees that it will immediately reduce its electric power consumption to below 100% of Power Capacity or upgrade its contract with QTS by executing a Work Order to increase Power Capacity. The only method of increasing Power Capacity is to contract for additional contiguous Customer Space (the purchase of non-contiguous customer space will not increase Customer’s Power Capacity). If contiguous customer space is not available, Customer must immediately reduce it electric power consumption to below 100% of Power Capacity. If Customer fails to execute a Work Order to increase Power Capacity within five (5) days after receipt of notice for QTS of Excess Demand, or fails to reduce its electric power consumption, Customer will be subject to suspension of electric power. According to the National Electrical Installation Standards, the maximum utilization of any power circuit is 80% of the maximum capacity of that power circuit. Customer shall take the necessary precautions to avoid exceeding 80% utilization on any power circuit, in the event that Customer’s utilization exceeds 80% of maximum capacity on any power circuit, the power related remedies and Service Level Credits set forth in Section 5.2 herein shall not apply.

2.5 In the event of a data security breach, Customer shall coordinate with QTS in its efforts to comply with applicable data breach notification laws and shall submit any data security breach notices, press releases, announcements or other disclosures to QTS prior to mailing of other publication.

Customer shall ensure that the information contained therein shall be true, complete and accurate in all respects. QTS shall have no obligation to verify that any information contained in the Customer Access Roster then on file with QTS is current or accurate, and QTS shall be entitled to rely upon all such information in admitting persons identified therein to the Data Center(s). QTS may require Representative to be accompanied by an authorized QTS representative or security personnel. QTS shall have the right to refuses access, or limit access, to the Data Center(s) to any person who is not a Representative or to any Representative whom QTS (in its sole discretion) reasonable considers to be a risk to security to the safety of persons or property, or who is not qualified to perform the tasks for which such person purports to access the Customer Space, or for any other lawful reason.

3.2 Security personnel may require individuals desiring access to sign-in, present photo identification, submit to physical inspection of their person and properties and otherwise answer such questions and provide such information as the security personnel may reasonably require to authenticate such person and verify that such person is an authorized Representative of Customer.

3.4 In addition to the requirements set forth herein, Customer’s access shall be subject to any and all lawful rules, regulations, security and access requirements imposed by QTS governing the Data Center(s), including without limitation, Rules and Regulations posted on the QTS portal and the Visitor Acknowledgment and Release. Customer agrees (and shall cause each of its Representatives) to strictly abide by all such requirements for the Data Center. Customer agrees to periodically access the website and familiarize itself with the then current version of the Rules and Regulations. Notwithstanding, QTS agrees to provide Customer with thirty (30) days prior notice of any changes to said Rules and Regulations.

Customer agrees that it will promptly investigate all such complaints and take all reasonably necessary actions to remedy and to prevent any further violation of QTS’s Acceptable Use Policy. Customer agrees that QTS may identify to the complainant that Customer or a third party is investigating the matter and QTS may provide the complainant with the necessary information to contact Customer directly to resolve the complaint.

4.5 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by QTS, QTS shall not be responsible for the installation, removal, operation, maintenance or replacement of any Customer Equipment.

4.6 The parties understand and agree that use of telecommunications and data communications networks and the Internet may not be secure and that connection to and transmission of data and information over the Internet and such facilities provides the opportunity for unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, and all data stored therein. Information and data transmitted through the internet or stored on any equipment through which Internet information is transmitted may not remain confidential and QTS does not make any representation or warranty regarding privacy, security, authenticity, and non-corruption or destruction of any such information. QTS does not warrant that the Services or Customer’s use will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. QTS shall not be responsible for any adverse consequence or loss whatsoever to Customer’s (or its users’ or subscribers’) use of the Internet. Use of any information transmitted or obtained by Customer using the QTS network or the Internet is at Customer’s own risk. QTS is not responsible for the accuracy of information obtained through its network, including as a result

of failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, corruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use of information or facilities, or malfunctioning of websites. QTS does not control the transmission or flow of data to or from QTS’s network and other portions of the Internet. Such transmissions and/or flow depend in part on the performance of telecommunications and/or internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions of such third parties can impair or disrupt Customer’s connections to the Internet. QTS does not represent or warrant that such events will not occur and QTS disclaims any and all liability resulting from or related to such acts or omissions.

Customer shall own its own registered domain names and shall disclose any private or proxy domain name registrations to QTS immediately on request.

4.8 To the extent Customer orders any Service designated as “Burstable” (meaning Customer has the ability to use Services in excess of the Committed Data Rate), Customer will be billed for (a) the Committed Data Rate, and (b) the Excess Use at the price per Mbps set forth in the Order. Customer’s use will be sampled in five-minute inbound and outbound averages during each month. At the end of the month in which such use is measured, the top five percent (5%) of the inbound and outbound averages shall be discarded. The highest of the resulting ninety-five percent (95%) for inbound and outbound averages will be compared to the Committed Data Rate, and if that ninety-fifth percentile (95) of traffic is higher than the Committed Data Rate, the difference between the highest of either average and the Committed Data Rate shall be the “Excess Use”.

4.9 If Customer is an international, federal, state, or local governmental agency, the purchase order submitted by Customer shall contain the following language:

“Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary on the face of this purchase order or on any attachments to this purchase order, this purchase order is being used for administrative purposes only, and this order is placed under and subject solely to the terms and conditions of the QTS Master Space Agreement and Addendum for Colocation and Internet Access, executed between Customer and QTS.”
