AMENDED AND RESTATED
COMMON DEFINITIONS AND PROVISIONS AGREEMENT
(RTP DATA CENTER)

This AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON DEFINITIONS AND PROVISIONS AGREEMENT (RTP DATA CENTER) (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 29, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between BNP PARIBAS LEASING CORPORATION (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation, and NETWORK APPLIANCE, INC. (“NAI”), a Delaware corporation.

RECITALS

Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, NAI and BNPPLC are executing the Closing Certificate (as defined below), the Ground Lease (as defined below), the Lease (as defined below), the Construction Agreement (as defined below) and the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), all of which concern NAI or the Property (as defined below). Each of the Closing Certificate, the Ground Lease, the Lease, the Construction Agreement and the Purchase Agreement (together with this Agreement, the “Operative Documents”) are intended to create separate and independent obligations upon the parties thereto. However, NAI and BNPPLC intend that all of the Operative Documents share certain consistent definitions and other miscellaneous provisions. To that end, the parties are executing this Agreement and incorporating it by reference into each of the other Operative Documents.

AGREEMENTS

ARTICLE I — LIST OF DEFINED TERMS

Unless a clear contrary intention appears, the following terms will have the respective indicated meanings as used herein and in the other Operative Documents:

“97-10/Maximum Permitted Prepayment” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

“97-10/Meltdown Event” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

“97-10/Prepayment” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

“97-10/Project Costs“has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

“97-10/Pronouncement” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

“ABR” means, for any day, a fluctuating rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100th of 1%) equal to the higher of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Fed Funds Rate in effect one day prior to such day plus 1/4 of 1% per annum. For any period (including any Base Rent Period), “ABR” means the average of the ABR for each day during such period.

“ABR Period Election” means an election to have the Effective Rate for any Period calculated by reference to the ABR, rather than by reference to LIBOR or a Fixed Rate. NAI may (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in this definition) make any Period after the first Construction Period subject to an ABR Period Election by a notice given to BNPPLC in the form attached as Annex 1 at least five Business Days prior to the commencement of such Period. After an ABR Period Election becomes effective, it will remain in effect for all subsequent Periods until the Fixed Rate Lock Date for any Fixed Rate Lock or a different election is made in accordance with the provisions of this definition and the definition of LIBOR Period Election. In no event will changes in any ABR Period Election or LIBOR Period Election become effective except upon the commencement of a new Period. (For purposes of the Operative Documents, an ABR Period Election for any Period will also be considered in effect on the Effective Date, Advance Date, Base Rent Commencement Date or Base Rent Date upon which such Period begins.)

“Active Negligence” of any Person means, and is limited to, the negligent conduct on the Property (and not mere omissions) by such Person or by others acting and authorized to act on such Person’s behalf (other than NAI) in a manner that proximately causes actual bodily injury or property damage for which NAI does not carry (and is not obligated by the Construction Agreement or the Lease to carry) insurance. “Active Negligence” will not include (1) any negligent failure of BNPPLC to act when the duty to act would not have been imposed but for BNPPLC’s status as owner of any interest in the Land, the Improvements or any other Property or as a party to the transactions described in the Lease or the other Operative Documents, (2) any negligent failure of any other Interested Party to act when the duty to act would not have been imposed but for such party’s contractual or other relationship to BNPPLC or participation or facilitation in any manner, directly or indirectly, of the transactions described in the Lease or other Operative Documents, or (3) the exercise in a lawful manner by BNPPLC (or any party lawfully claiming through or under BNPPLC) of any right or remedy provided in or under the Lease or the other Operative Documents.

“Additional Rent” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 3(F) of the Lease.

“Administrative Fees” means the fees identified as such in subparagraph 3(E) of the Lease and subparagraph 3(A) of the Construction Agreement.

“Advance Date” means, regardless of whether any Construction Advance is actually

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 2

made on such date, the first Business Day of every calendar month, beginning with the first Business Day in December, 2007 and continuing regularly thereafter to and including the Base Rent Commencement Date, which will be the last Advance Date.

“Affiliate” of any Person means any other Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person. For purposes of this definition, the term “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management of policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

“After Tax Basis” has the meaning indicated in subparagraph 5(C)(1) of the Lease.

“Applicable Laws” means any or all of the following, to the extent applicable to BNPPLC, NAI, the Property or the Operative Documents, after giving effect to the contractual choice of law provisions in the Operative Documents: restrictive covenants; zoning ordinances and building codes; flood disaster laws; health, safety and environmental laws and regulations; the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws pertaining to disabled persons; and other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, permits, regulations, orders, determinations and court decisions.

“Applicable Purchaser” means any third party designated to purchase BNPPLC’s interest in the Property and in any Escrowed Proceeds as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

“Appurtenant Easements” has the meaning indicated in Exhibit A attached to the Ground Lease.

“Arrangement Fee” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

“Attorneys’ Fees” means the expenses and reasonable fees of counsel to the parties incurring the same, including costs or expenses of in-house counsel (whether or not accounted for as general overhead or administrative expenses) and printing, photostating, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals, librarians and others not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney. Such terms will also include all such expenses and reasonable fees incurred with respect to appeals, arbitrations and bankruptcy proceedings, and whether or not any manner of proceeding is brought with respect to the matter for which such fees and expenses were incurred.

“Balance of Unpaid Construction Period Losses” has the meaning indicated in the Purchase Agreement.

“Banking Rules Change” means either: (1) the introduction of or any change after the

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 3

Effective Date (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in any law or regulation applicable to BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant, or in the generally accepted interpretation by the institutional lending community of any such law or regulation, or in the interpretation of any such law or regulation asserted by any regulator, court or other governmental authority (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) or (2) the compliance by BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant with any new guideline or new request issued after the Effective Date from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law).

“Base Rent” means the rent payable by NAI pursuant to subparagraph 3(A) of the Lease.

“Base Rent Commencement Date” means the first Business Day of the first calendar month after the Completion Date.

“Base Rent Date” means a date upon which Base Rent must be paid under the Lease, all of which dates will be the first Business Day of a calendar month. The first Base Rent Date will be determined as follows:

a) If an ABR Period Election or a LIBOR Period Election of one month is in effect on the Base Rent Commencement Date, then the first Business Day of the first calendar month following the Base Rent Commencement Date will be the first Base Rent Date.

b) If a LIBOR Period Election of three months or six months is in effect on the Base Rent Commencement Date, then the first Business Day of the third calendar month following the Base Rent Commencement Date will be the first Base Rent Date.

Each successive Base Rent Date after the first Base Rent Date will be the first Business Day of the first or third calendar month following the calendar month which includes the preceding Base Rent Date, determined as follows:

(1) If an ABR Period Election or a LIBOR Period Election of one month is in effect on a Base Rent Date, or if a Fixed Rate Lock commences or continues on a Base Rent Date, then the first Business Day of the first calendar month following such Base Rent Date will be the next following Base Rent Date.

(2) If a LIBOR Period Election of three months or longer is in effect on a Base Rent Date, then the first Business Day of the third calendar month following such Base Rent Date will be the next following Base Rent Date.

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 4

Thus, for example, if the Base Rent Commencement Date falls on the first Business Day of September, 2008 and a LIBOR Period Election of three months commences on the Base Rent Commencement Date, then the first Base Rent Date will be the first Business Day of December, 2008.

“Base Rent Period” means a period for which Base Rent must be paid under the Lease, each of which periods will correspond to the ABR Period Election or LIBOR Period Election for the period (except when a Fixed Rate Lock continues in effect). The first Base Rent Period will begin on and include the Base Rent Commencement Date, and each successive Base Rent Period will begin on and include the Base Rent Date upon which the preceding Base Rent Period ends. Each Base Rent Period, including the first Base Rent Period, will end on but not include the first or second Base Rent Date after the Base Rent Date upon which such period began, determined as follows:

(1) If an ABR Period Election or a LIBOR Period Election of one month or three months is in effect for a Base Rent Period, or if a Fixed Rate Lock commences or continues on the first day of the Base Rent Period, then such Base Rent Period will end on but not include the first Base Rent Date after the Base Rent Date upon which such period began.

(2) If a LIBOR Period Election of six months is in effect for a Base Rent Period, then such Base Rent Period will end on but not include the second Base Rent Date after the Base Rent Date upon which such period began.

The determination of Base Rent Periods can be illustrated by two examples:

1) If NAI makes a LIBOR Period Election of three months for a hypothetical Base Rent Period beginning on the first Business Day in January, 2009, then such Base Rent Period will end on but not include the first Base Rent Date after it begins; that is, such Base Rent Period will end on but not include the first Business Day in April, 2009, the third calendar month after January, 2009.

2) If, however, NAI makes a LIBOR Period Election of six months for the hypothetical Base Rent Period beginning the first Business Day in January, 2009, then such Base Rent Period will end on but not include the second Base Rent Date after it begins; that is, the first Business Day in July, 2009.

“BNPPLC” means BNPPLC Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

“BNPPLC’s Parent” means BNP Paribas, a bank organized and existing under the laws of France, and any successors of such bank.

Amended and Restated Common Definitions

“Breakage Costs” means any and all costs, losses or expenses incurred or sustained by BNPPLC’s Parent (as a Participant or otherwise) or any Participant, for which BNPPLC’s Parent or the Participant requests reimbursement from BNPPLC, because of:

(1) the resulting liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds that were used to make or maintain Funding Advances upon application of a Qualified Prepayment or upon any sale of the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if such application or sale occurs on any day other than the last day of a Construction Period or Base Rent Period; or

(2) the resulting liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds that were reserved to provide a Construction Advance requested by NAI, if and when the Construction Advance is not made as anticipated, either because NAI declined to accept the Construction Advance for any reason or because NAI failed to satisfy any of the conditions to such Construction Advance specified in the Construction Agreement; or

(3) the resulting liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds that were used to make or maintain Funding Advances upon the acceleration of the end of any Construction Period or Base Rent Period because of an acceleration of the Designated Sale Date as described in clauses (2) or (3) of the definition thereof.

Breakage Costs will include, for example, losses on Funding Advances maintained by BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant which are attributable to any decline in LIBOR as of the effective date of any application described in the clause (1) preceding, as compared to the LIBOR used to determine the Effective Rate then in effect. Each determination of Breakage Costs by BNPPLC’s Parent or by any Participant, as applicable, will be conclusive and binding upon NAI in the absence of clear and demonstrable error.

“Break Even Price” has the meaning indicated in the Purchase Agreement.

“Business Day” means any day that is (1) not a Saturday, Sunday or day on which commercial banks are generally closed or required to be closed in New York City, New York, and (2) a day on which dealings in deposits of dollars are transacted in the London interbank market; provided, that if such dealings are suspended indefinitely for any reason, “Business Day” will mean any day described in clause (1).

Each successive Construction Period after the first Construction Period will begin on and include the day on which the preceding Construction Period ends and will end on but not include the next following Advance Date, until the last Construction Period, which will end on but not include the earlier of the Base Rent Commencement Date or any Designated Sale Date upon which NAI or any Applicable Purchaser purchases BNPPLC’s interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

“Construction Project” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

“Covered Construction Period Losses” has the meaning indicated in the Construction Agreement.

“Default” means any event or circumstance which constitutes, or which would with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both (if not cured within any applicable cure period) constitute, an Event of Default.

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 8

not at least twenty days after the date of such notice, the notice will be of no effect for purposes of this definition; and provided, further, that to be effective, any such notice must include an irrevocable exercise by NAI of the Purchase Option under subparagraph 2(A)(1) of the Purchase Agreement and thereby obligate NAI to tender payment of the full Break Even Price to BNPPLC on the Business Day so designated; or

(3) any Business Day designated as the “Designated Sale Date” for purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents in a notice given by BNPPLC to NAI:

• when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and after the Completion Date; or

• after a 97-10/Meltdown Event or after BNPPLC’s receipt of a Pre-lease Force Majeure Event Notice from NAI; or

• following any change in the zoning or other Applicable Laws after the Completion Date affecting the permitted use or development of the Property that, in BNPPLC’s judgment, materially reduces the value of the Property; or

• following any discovery of conditions or circumstances on or about the Property after the Completion Date, such as the presence of an endangered species, which are likely to substantially impede the use or development of the Property and thereby, in BNPPLC’s judgment, materially reduce the value of the Property;

provided, however, that if the Business Day so designated by BNPPLC as the Designated Sale Date is not at least thirty days after the date of such notice, the notice will be of no effect for purposes of this definition; or

(4) the first Business Day after the commencement of any Event of Default described in clauses (G), (H) or (I) of the definition Event of Default herein that occurs because of any bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against NAI, as debtor, under Title 11 of the United States Code; or

(5) any date upon which the Lease terminates pursuant to subparagraph 1(B) or subparagraph 1(C) of the Lease.

“Effective Date” means November 29, 2007.

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 9

“Effective Rate” means, for each Period, a per annum rate determined as follows:

(1) In the case of any Period subject to a LIBOR Period Election, the Effective Rate will equal the rate per annum determined by dividing (A) LIBOR for such Period, by (B) one hundred percent (100%) minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage for such Period.

(2) In the case of any Period that is not subject to a LIBOR Period Election, the Effective Rate will equal the ABR for such Period.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Base Rent Period that begins on or after the Fixed Rate Lock Date applicable to a Fixed Rate Lock and that ends before or on the date such Fixed Rate Lock is terminated as provided in subparagraph 3(C) of the Lease, the Effective Rate will equal the Fixed Rate.

So long as any LIBOR Period Election remains in effect, as LIBOR or the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage changes from Period to Period, the Effective Rate will be automatically increased or decreased, as the case may be, without prior notice to NAI. Also, during any period when no LIBOR Period Election or Fixed Rate Lock is in effect, as the ABR changes from Period to Period, the Effective Rate will be automatically increased or decreased, as the case may be, without prior notice to NAI.

If for any reason BNPPLC determines that it is impossible or unreasonably difficult to determine the Effective Rate with respect to a given Period in accordance with the foregoing, then the “Effective Rate” for that Period will equal any published index or per annum interest rate determined in good faith by BNPPLC to be comparable to LIBOR at the beginning of the first day of that Period. A comparable interest rate might be, for example, the then existing yield on short term United States Treasury obligations (as compiled by and published in the then most recently published United States Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) or its successor publication), plus or minus a fixed adjustment based on BNPPLC’s comparison of past eurodollar market rates to past yields on such Treasury obligations.

“Eligible Financial Institution” means (a) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and having total assets in excess of $5,000,000,000; (b) a commercial bank organized under the laws of any other country which is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) or has concluded special lending arrangements with the International Monetary Fund associated with its General Arrangements to Borrow, or a political subdivision of any such country, and having total assets in excess of $5,000,000,000; provided, that such bank is acting through a branch or agency located in the United States; (c) the central bank of any country which is a member of the OECD; and (d) a finance company, insurance company or other financial

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 10

institution (whether a corporation, partnership or other entity, but excluding any savings and loan association) which is engaged in making, purchasing or otherwise investing in commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, and having total assets in excess of $5,000,000,000; provided, however, that in no event will any bank or other Person qualify as an Eligible Financial Institution at any time when it has outstanding obligations with a credit rating less than investment grade from Standard & Poor’s, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or another nationally recognized rating service.

(C) federal, state and local income taxes upon any amounts paid as reimbursement for or to satisfy Losses incurred by BNPPLC or any Participant to the extent, but only to the extent, such taxes are offset by a corresponding reduction of BNPPLC’s or the applicable Participant’s income taxes which are not otherwise subject to reimbursement or indemnification by NAI because of BNPPLC’s or such Participant’s deduction of the reimbursed Losses from its taxable income or because of any tax credits attributable thereto;

(D) income taxes that are (i) payable by BNPPLC in respect of any Qualified Prepayment or any net sales proceeds paid to BNPPLC upon a sale of the Property because of Forced Recharacterization as described in subparagraph 4(C)(3) of the Lease, and (ii) offset in the same taxable period by a reduction in the taxes of BNPPLC which are not otherwise subject to reimbursement or indemnification by NAI resulting from depreciation deductions or other tax benefits available to BNPPLC only because of the refusal of the tax authorities to treat the Lease and other Operative Documents as a financing arrangement;

It is understood that if tax rates used to calculate income taxes which constitute Excluded Taxes under clause (1) of this definition are increased, the resulting increase will not be subject to reimbursement or indemnification by NAI. If, however, a change in Applicable Laws after the Effective Date, as applied to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents on a stand-alone basis, results in an increase in such income taxes for any reason other than an increase in the applicable tax rates (e.g., a disallowance of deductions that would otherwise be available against payments described in clause (1) of this definition), then for purposes of the Operative Documents, the term “Excluded Taxes” will not include the actual increase in such taxes attributable to the change. Accordingly, BNPPLC or any Participant may recover any such net increase from NAI pursuant to subparagraph 5(B) of the Lease.

It is also understood that nothing in this definition of “Excluded Taxes” will prevent any Original Indemnity Payment (as defined in subparagraph 5(C)(1) of the Lease) from being paid on an

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 24

(1) on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or any replacement page or pages on which London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars are displayed) by the Reuters service; or

(2) on Moneyline Telerate Page 3750, British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rates, or another news page selected by BNPPLC’s Parent if the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page is removed from the Reuters system or changed such that, in the opinion of BNPPLC’s Parent, the interest rates shown on it no longer represent the same kind of interest rates as when the Operative Documents were executed; or

(b) if such offered rate is for any reason unavailable, the rate per annum determined by BNPPLC’s Parent on the basis of rates offered for deposits in U.S. dollars by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by BNPPLC’s Parent (“Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is two London Banking Days preceding the Reset Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period corresponding as nearly as possible to the applicable Period. ( If this clause (b) applies, BNPPLC’s Parent will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided, “LIBOR” will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If, however, fewer than two quotations are provided, “LIBOR” will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York selected by BNPPLC’s Parent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the Reset Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading U.S. banks for a period corresponding as nearly as possible to the applicable Period.)

As used in this definition, “London Banking Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London, England.

“LIBOR Period Election” means an election to have the Effective Rate for any Period calculated by reference to LIBOR, rather than by reference to the ABR or the Fixed Rate, and to have such period extend for approximately one month, three months or six months. The first Construction Period will be subject to a LIBOR Period Election of one month; and, subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in this definition, NAI may make any subsequent Period subject to a LIBOR Period Election by a notice given to BNPPLC in the form attached as Annex 3 at least five Business Days prior to the commencement of such Period. After a LIBOR Period Election becomes effective, it will remain in effect for all subsequent Periods until a different election is made in accordance with the provisions of this definition and the definition of ABR Period Election above. (For purposes of the Construction Agreement and the Lease a LIBOR Period Election for any Period will also be considered the LIBOR Period Election in effect on the Effective Date, Advance Date, Base Rent Commencement Date or Base Rent Date

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 25

upon which such Period begins.) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

	•		No LIBOR Period Election for a period of more than one month will be effective prior to the Completion Date.

	•		No LIBOR Period Election will be effective that would cause a Base Rent Period to extend beyond the end of the scheduled Term or beyond a Fixed Rate Lock Date.

	•		No LIBOR Period Election will commence or continue during any period that begins on or after the Fixed Rate Lock Date applicable to a Fixed Rate Lock and that ends before or on the date such Fixed Rate Lock is terminated as provided in subparagraph 3(C) of the Lease.

	•		Changes in any ABR Period Election or LIBOR Period Election will become effective only upon the commencement of a new Period.

	•		In the event BNPPLC determines that it would be unlawful (or any central bank or governmental authority asserts that it would be unlawful) for BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant to provide or maintain Funding Advances during a Period if the Carrying Costs or Base Rent accrued during such Period at a rate based upon LIBOR, NAI will be deemed to have made such Period subject to an ABR Period Election, not a LIBOR Period Election.

	•		If for any reason (including BNPPLC’s receipt of a notice from NAI purporting to make a LIBOR Period Election that is contrary to the foregoing provisions), BNPPLC is unable to determine with certainty whether a particular Period is subject to a specific LIBOR Period Election of one month, three months or six months, or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the third Business Day preceding the commencement of a particular Period, NAI will be deemed to have made an ABR Period Election for that particular Period.

“Lien” means any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien or charge of any kind (including any agreement to give any of the foregoing, any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, any lease in the nature thereof, any agreement to sell receivables with recourse, and the filing of or agreement to give any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction).

“Market Quotation” means, with respect to any Fixed Rate Lock Termination, an amount determined by the Floating Rate Payor on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid by the Floating Rate Payor in consideration of an agreement between it and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the “Replacement Transaction”) that would have the effect of preserving for the Floating Rate Payor the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Fixed Rate Lock Termination, have been required under the Fixed Rate Swap. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The Floating Rate Payor (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on the effective date of or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Fixed Rate Lock Termination. The date and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the Floating Rate Payor. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations will be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Fixed Rate Lock Termination cannot be determined.

(a) promptly after earnings are reported by NAI for the latest quarter in any Rolling Four Quarters Period, NAI must notify BNPPLC of any resulting change in the Spread under this definition, and no reduction in the Spread from one period to the next will be effective for purposes of the Operative Documents unless, prior to the Spread Test Date for the next period, NAI shall have provided BNPPLC with a written notice setting forth and certifying the calculation under this definition that justifies the reduction;

(b) if Carrying Costs are understated or Base Rent is underpaid for any Period because of any misstatement, subsequently discovered, of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Debt for Borrowed Money, BNPPLC will be entitled to collect from NAI all additional payments that would have been expected under the Operative Documents but for the misstatement, together with interest on each such additional payment computed at the Default Rate from the date it would have been expected to the date it is

However, any party to any Operative Document or Related Document may change its address above or in the Related Document, as applicable, by written notice to the other parties to such Operative Document or Related Document given in accordance with this provision.

2. Severability. If any term or provision of any Operative Document or the application thereof is to any extent held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remainder of such document, or the application of such term or provision other than to the extent to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby.

3. No Merger. There will be no merger of the Lease or of the leasehold estate created by the Lease or of the mortgage and security interest granted in subparagraph 4(C)(1) of the Lease with any other interest in the Property by reason of the fact that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, the Lease or the leasehold estate created thereby or such mortgage and security interest and any other interest in the Property, unless all Persons with an interest in the Property that would be adversely affected by any such merger specifically agree in writing that such a merger has occurred. There will be no merger of the Purchase Agreement or of the purchase options or obligations created by the Purchase Agreement with any other interest in the Property by reason of the fact that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, the rights and options granted by the Purchase Agreement and any other interest in the Property, unless all Persons with an interest in the Property that would be adversely affected by any such merger specifically agree in writing that such a merger has occurred.

4. No Implied Waiver. The failure of any party to any Operative Document to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement therein or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained therein will not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. The waiver of or redress for any breach of any Operative Document by any party thereto will not prevent a similar subsequent act from constituting a violation. Any express waiver of any provision of any Operative Document will affect only the term or condition specified in such waiver and only for the time and in the manner specifically stated therein. No waiver by any party to any Operative Document of any provision therein will be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by the party to be bound by

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 41

the waiver. A receipt by any party to any Operative Document of any payment thereunder (including the receipt by BNPPLC of any Rent paid under the Lease) with knowledge of the breach by another party of any covenant or agreement contained in that or any other Operative Document will not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

5. Entire and Only Agreements. The Operative Documents supersede any prior negotiations and agreements between BNPPLC and NAI concerning the Property, and no amendment or modification of any Operative Document will be binding or valid unless expressed in a writing executed by all parties to such Operative Document.

6. Binding Effect. Except to the extent, if any, expressly provided to the contrary in any Operative Document with respect to assignments thereof, all of the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions to be observed and performed by the parties to the Operative Documents will be applicable to and binding upon their respective successors and, to the extent assignment is permitted thereunder, their respective assigns.

7. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to all obligations created by the Operative Documents and as to all notices expressly required by the Operative Documents.

8. Governing Law. Each Operative Document will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to conflict or choice of laws principles that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

9. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph and section headings contained in the Operative Documents are for convenience only and will in no way enlarge or limit the scope or meaning of the various and several provisions thereof.

10. Negotiated Documents. All parties to each Operative Document and their counsel have reviewed and revised or requested revisions to such Operative Document, and the usual rule of construction that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not apply to the construction or interpretation of any Operative Documents or any amendments thereof.

11. Terms Not Expressly Defined in an Operative Document. As used in any Operative Document, a capitalized term that is not defined therein or in this Agreement, but is defined in another Operative Document, will have the meaning ascribed to it in the other Operative Document.

12. Other Terms and References. Words of any gender used in each Operative Document will be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number will be held to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 42

References in any Operative Document to Paragraphs, subparagraphs, Sections, subsections or other subdivisions refer to the corresponding Paragraphs, subparagraphs, Sections, subsections or subdivisions of that Operative Document, unless specific reference is made to another document or instrument. References in any Operative Document to any Schedule or Exhibit refer to the corresponding Schedule or Exhibit attached to that Operative Document, which are made a part thereof by such reference. All capitalized terms used in each Operative Document which refer to other documents will be deemed to refer to such other documents as they may be renewed, extended, supplemented, amended or otherwise modified from time to time, provided such documents are not renewed, extended or modified in breach of any provision contained in the Operative Documents or, in the case of any other document to which BNPPLC or NAI is a party or intended beneficiary, without its consent. All accounting terms used but not specifically defined in any Operative Document will be construed in accordance with GAAP. The words “this [Agreement]”, “herein”, “hereof”, “hereby”, “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in each Operative Document refer to that Operative Document as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The phrases “this Paragraph”, “this subparagraph”, “this Section”, “this subsection” and similar phrases used in any Operative Document refer only to the Paragraph, subparagraph, Section, subsection or other subdivision described in which the phrase occurs. As used in the Operative Documents the word “or” is not exclusive, and the words “include”, “including” and similar terms will be construed as if followed by “without limitation to”. The rule of ejusdem generis will not be applied to limit the generality of a term in any of the Operative Documents when followed by specific examples. When used to qualify any representation or warranty made by a Person, the phrases “to the knowledge of [such Person]” or “to the best knowledge of [such Person]” are intended to mean only that such Person does not have knowledge of facts or circumstances which make the representation or warranty false or misleading in some material respect; such phrases are not intended to suggest that the Person does indeed know the representation or warranty is true.

13. Execution in Counterparts. To facilitate execution, each of the Operative Documents may be executed in multiple identical counterparts. It will not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts, taken together, will collectively constitute a single instrument. But it will not be necessary in making proof of any of the Operative Documents to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties to such document. Any signature page may be detached from one counterpart and then attached to a second counterpart with identical provisions without impairing the legal effect of the signatures on the signature page. Signing and sending a counterpart (or a signature page detached from the counterpart) by facsimile or other electronic means to another party will have the same legal effect as signing and delivering an original counterpart to the other party. A copy (including a copy produced by facsimile or other electronic means) of any signature page that has been signed by or on behalf of a party to any of the Operative Documents will be as effective as the original signature page for the purpose of

Amended and Restated Common Definitions
and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) – Page 43

proving such party’s agreement to be bound.

14. Not a Partnership, Etc. Nothing in any Operative Document is intended to create any partnership, joint venture, or other joint enterprise between NAI and BNPPLC or any other Interested Party.

15. No Fiduciary Relationship Intended. Neither the execution of the Operative Documents or other documents referenced in this Agreement nor the administration thereof by BNPPLC will create any fiduciary obligations of BNPPLC (or any other Interested Party) to NAI. Moreover, BNPPLC and NAI disclaim any intent to create any fiduciary or special relationship between themselves (or on the part of any other Interested Party) under or by reason of the Operative Documents or the transactions described therein or any other documents or agreements referenced therein.

16. Amendment and Restatement of Prior Agreement. This Agreement amends, restates and replaces entirely the Prior Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement.

Gentlemen:

Capitalized terms used in this letter are intended to have the meanings assigned to them in the Amended and Restated Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (RTP Data Center) dated as of November 29, 2007, between you, BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation, and the undersigned, Network Appliance, Inc.. By this letter, which is given pursuant to subparagraph 3(B)(4) of the Lease, NAI requests that BNPPLC promptly establish a Fixed Rate for a notional amount equal to the Lease Balance as of the date of this letter for use in the calculation of the Effective Rate for all Base Rent Periods commencing on or after the following Fixed Rate Lock Date: , 20___.

As contemplated in the conditions set forth in subparagraph 3(B)(4) of the Lease, such Fixed Rate Lock Date is the first Business Day of a calendar month which falls after the projected Base Rent Commencement Date; such Fixed Rate Lock Date does not fall prior to the end of any Base Rent Period which has commenced or will commence before BNPPLC receives this notice; and NAI expects BNPPLC to receive this notice more than ten days prior to such Fixed Rate Lock Date.

In an earlier phone conversation today between a representative of NAI and at the New York Branch of BNP Paribas, NAI requested an estimate from BNP Paribas of the Fixed Rate that would be established by BNPPLC and BNP Paribas entering into an Interest Rate Swap. The estimate provided by telephone was: percent (___%) per annum.

By this letter, NAI confirms that it will accept such a rate or any lower rate as the Fixed Rate for purposes of the Lease.

NOTE: BNPPLC will be entitled to disregard this notice if the conditions to a Fixed Rate Lock, as specified in subparagraph 3(B)(4) of the Lease, have not been satisfied. However, NAI requests that BNPPLC notify NAI immediately if for any reason BNPPLC believes this notice will not be effective.

Annex 4

Minimum Insurance Requirements

A. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE COMPLETION DATE.

1. Other Requirements Not Affected: The insurance coverages required by this Annex represent minimum requirements of BNPPLC and other Interested Parties and are not to be construed to modify or limit NAI’s indemnities or other agreements in the Agreement to which this Annex is attached or in any other Operative Document. Such required coverages do not constitute a representation or determination by BNPPLC of the minimum insurance coverages NAI should maintain for its own protection.

2. Requirements Apply Only to the Property: Further, the insurance coverages required by this Annex apply only to the Property, it being understood that nothing in this Annex is intended to impose minimum insurance requirements upon NAI with respect to other properties owned or leased by NAI.

3. Failure to Obtain: Failure of BNPPLC to demand certificate or other evidence of full compliance with these insurance requirements, or failure of BNPPLC to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided, will not be construed as a waiver of NAI’s obligation to maintain required insurance.

4. Copies of Policies: NAI must provide to BNPPLC, at the offices of NAI, copies of all insurance policies required herein within ten (10) days after receipt of a request for such copies from BNPPLC or as soon as practicable if policies are in the process of being issued by the applicable insurer. Such copies must be certified as complete and correct by an authorized representative of the applicable insurer, subject to availability from the insurance company.

5. Inconsistent Endorsements. The insurance policies maintained to comply with these requirements will contain no endorsements that restrict, limit, or exclude coverages in any manner that is inconsistent with these express requirements without the prior express written approval of BNPPLC.

6. Limits of Liability. The limits of liability necessary to satisfy these requirements may be provided by a single policy of insurance or by a combination of primary and umbrella/excess policies, but in no event will the total limits of liability available for any one occurrence or accident be less than the amount required herein.

7. Additional Insured Status. Additional insured status will be provided in favor

Annex 4 – Page 1

of BNPPLC and other Interested Parties on all liability insurance required herein except workers’ compensation and employer’s liability. Such additional insured status will be provided on a basis that neither limits coverage to the additional insured by reason of its negligence (sole or otherwise) nor excludes coverage for completed operations with respect to construction of the Improvements.

8. Primary Liability. The insurance policies maintained to comply with these requirements will be primary to all insurance available to BNPPLC and other Interested Parties, collectively or individually, with BNPPLC and other Interested Parties’ insurance being excess, secondary and non-contributing (except in the case of workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance). Where necessary, coverage will be endorsed to provide such primary liability.

B. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE BEFORE THE COMPLETION DATE.

1. General Terms and Conditions.

A. Definitions: For purposes of this Annex:

“Construction Period Policies” means insurance policies that satisfy the minimum requirements set forth in this Annex and that NAI has obtained or required its Contractors to obtain with respect to the Property prior to the Completion Date.

“Contractor” will include subcontractors of any tier.

“ISO” means Insurance Services Office.

B. Status and Rating of Insurance Company. All insurance coverages required herein prior to the Completion Date will be written through insurance companies admitted to do business in the State of North Carolina and rated upon each renewal no less than A-: VII in the then most current edition of A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide.

C. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverages carried by NAI with respect to the Construction Project, whether required herein or not, will provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of BNPPLC and other Interested Parties.

D. Release and Waiver: Without limiting other waivers or provisions in favor of BNPPLC and other Interested Parties in any of the Operative Documents or other attachments thereto, NAI hereby releases, and agrees to cause all Contractors performing any Work prior to the Completion Date (other than subcontractors providing goods and/or

Annex 4 – Page 2

services with a value of less than $100,000) to release, BNPPLC and all other Interested Parties from any and all claims or causes of action whatsoever that NAI and/or such Contractors might otherwise now or hereafter have resulting from or in any way connected with any loss covered by insurance, whether required herein or not, or which would have been covered by insurance required herein but for a failure of NAI and/or its Contractors to maintain such insurance.

E. Initial Insurance Representations to BNPPLC and Other Interested Parties: NAI represents, acknowledges and agrees that:

1. Any Construction Period Policies not previously obtained will be obtained by NAI (or by the primary Contractor engaged by NAI to perform the Work), and the initial premiums for all Construction Period Policies will be paid, before NAI requests Construction Advances that cause the Lease Balance to exceed $2,000,000; and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Construction Agreement, BNPPLC may refuse to fund any Construction Advances that would cause the Lease Balance to exceed $2,000,000 prior to such time as BNPPLC is satisfied that NAI has obtained and paid the premiums for the Construction Period Policies. Moreover, in the case of the Builder’s Risk Policy, the premium must be paid or prepaid for the entire period through the projected Completion Date before the Lease Balance exceeds $2,000,000.

2. The coverages provided by the Construction Period Policies will not be terminated or modified to reduce, limit or qualify coverages in any material respect without BNPPLC’s prior written consent in each case by reason of any act or omission on the part of NAI or anyone acting for or authorized to act for NAI (including any Contractor engaged by NAI to obtain the Construction Period Policies for NAI). Without limiting the foregoing, NAI will not do or authorize any act or omission that could cause the coverage provided with respect to any Improvements by the Builder’s Risk Policy to expire or lapse before the Completion Date.

3. NAI must notify BNPPLC with reasonable promptness of any possible damage claims known to NAI that NAI believes are, individually or taken together, reasonably likely to a exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of any aggregate limit of the Builder’s Risk Policy required herein.

4. NAI will endeavor in good faith to cause each certificate of insurance which is provided to BNPPLC by an insurer, or its authorized

Annex 4 – Page 3

representative, at the request of NAI in regard to any Construction Period Policies to include the following express provision:

This is to certify that the policies of insurance described herein have been issued to the Insured for whom this certificate is executed and are in force at this time. In the event of cancellation or non-renewal of coverage affecting the certificate holder, other than by reason of nonpayment of premium, thirty (30) days prior written notice will be given to the certificate holder by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested. In the event of cancellation or non-renewal of coverage affecting the certificate holder by reason of nonpayment of premium, ten (10) days prior written notice will be given to the certificate holder by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested.

It is understood, however, that an insurer issuing such a certificate may decline to include the foregoing statement in the certificate, in which case NAI will instead deliver the certificate to BNPPLC with a cover letter from NAI itself which states substantially as follows:

Enclosed is a certificate of insurance, which has been issued by an insurer or its authorized representative, and which we are providing to you to confirm that policies described in the certificate have been issued to NAI or another insured named in the certificate and are in force at this time. NAI also certifies to you that such policies have been issued, and in the event of any cancellation, non-renewal, or reduction in coverage affecting you (BNP Paribas Leasing Corporation) or other Interested Parties, NAI will give you thirty (30) days prior written notice by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested.

5. NAI will also endeavor in good faith to cause each Construction Period Policy to be endorsed to provide, in effect, that (A) in the event of cancellation, non-renewal, or reduction in coverage affecting BNPPLC, other than by reason of nonpayment of premium, thirty (30) days prior written notice will be given by the insurer to BNPPLC by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested; and (B) in the event of cancellation, non-renewal, or reduction in coverage affecting BNPPLC by reason of nonpayment of premium, ten (10) days prior written

Annex 4 – Page 4

notice will be given by the insurer to BNPPLC by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested.

2. Commercial General Liability Insurance. Throughout the period from the Effective Date to the Completion Date, NAI will maintain commercial general liability insurance in accordance with the following requirements:

A. Coverage: Such insurance will cover liability (as to claims covered by the form of CGL policy specified below, including claims for bodily injury and property damage) arising from any occurrence on or about the Land or from any operations conducted on or about the Land, including but not limited to tort liability assumed under any of the Operative Documents. Defense will be provided as an additional benefit and not included within the limit of liability.

B. Form: Commercial General Liability Occurrence form (ISO CG 0001, dated 12 04, or an equivalent substitute form providing the same or greater coverage, and in any case written to provide primary coverage to BNPPLC as provided in Part A.8 above).

C. Amount of Insurance: Coverage will be provided with limits of not less than:


i.	Each Occurrence Limit	$	1,000,000

ii.	General Aggregate Limit	$	2,000,000

iv.	Personal Injury Liability:	The personal injury contractual liability exclusion will be deleted.

v.	Primary Liability:	As required in *Part A.8* above.

vi.	Waiver of Subrogation:	As required in *Part B.1.C* above.

E. Deductible or Self Insured Retention Under Liability Policies: If a gap in the liability insurance coverage provided to BNPPLC or another Interested Party under any Construction Period Policy results from any deductible, self-insured retention or other similar arrangement to which NAI agrees, then such gap must be covered by one or more other Construction Period Policies, such that liability insurance protection afforded to BNPPLC and other Interested Parties by all such Construction Period Policies, taken together, is no less than it would be if NAI had not agreed to the deductible, self-insured retention or other similar arrangement.

3. Workers’ Compensation/Employer’s Liability Insurance. Throughout the period from the Effective Date to the Completion Date, NAI will maintain workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance in accordance with the following requirements:

C. Required Endorsements:

Annex 4 – Page 6

4. Umbrella/Excess Liability Insurance. Throughout the period from the Effective Date to the Completion Date, NAI will maintain umbrella/excess liability insurance in accordance with the following requirements:

C. Amount of Insurance: Coverage will be provided with a limit of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate.

A. Insureds: Protection will extend to BNPPLC as a Named Insured or Additional Named Insured as its interest may appear; and the policy will be modified if necessary so that the protection afforded to BNPPLC is not reduced or impaired by acts or omissions of NAI or any other beneficiary or insured. (Such modification of the policy may be by endorsement comparable to a standard mortgagee clause; not limited, however, by its terms to BNPPLC’s rights “as a mortgagee” and not conditioned upon rights of the insurer to be subrogated to BNPPLC’s rights under the Operative Documents in the event of a payment of insurance proceeds to BNPPLC.)

B. Covered Property: Such insurance will cover:

	i.		Improvements and any equipment made or to be made a permanent part of the Property;

	ii.		structure(s) under construction;

temporary structures (e.g., scaffolding, falsework, and temporary buildings) located at the site.

C. Form: Coverage will be on an “all risk” form, will include theft and flood and be written on a completed-value basis with no co-insurance provision. No protective safeguard warranty will be permitted.

D. Amount of Insurance: Real property coverage will be provided in an amount equal at all times to the full replacement value, exclusive of land, foundation, footings, excavations and grading.

E. Deductibles. Deductibles applicable to the Builder’s Risk Policy will not exceed the following:

F. Termination of Coverage: The termination of coverage provision will be endorsed to permit occupancy of the covered property being constructed. Further, NAI will maintain or cause the insurance to be maintained in effect, unless otherwise provided for the Operative Documents, until the earliest of the following dates:

	i.		the date on which all persons and organizations who are insureds under the policy agree that it is terminated;

In any event, policies under which NAI maintains such liability insurance must provide, by endorsement or otherwise, that BNPPLC and other Interested Parties are also insured thereunder against such claims with coverage that is not limited by any negligence or allegation of negligence on their part and with coverage that is primary, not merely excess over or contributory with the other commercial general liability coverage they may themselves maintain.
