Each Service Level Agreement and Order Form submitted, accepted and executed by both parties is hereby incorporated by reference into this MSA. This MSA is intended to cover any and all Services ordered by Customer and provided by DataBank. Any terms set forth in this MSA which apply specifically to a service not ordered by Customer, will not apply to Customer.
     1.2 Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not elsewhere defined in this MSA, have the meanings given them in Schedule 1.2 to this MSA.

     2.2 Term of Services.
          (a) Commencement of Initial Term. The term for each Service will commence on the Service Commencement Date and continue for the Initial Term.

COLOCATION ADDENDUM TO THE “MSA”
     Colocation Services Addendum
     This Colocation Services Addendum (“Addendum”) is part of and incorporated in the Master Services Agreement under which DataBank provides DataBank Service to Customer (the “MSA”).
     1.1. Colocation License. DataBank shall grant Customer a license to occupy, access, locate, operate, repair, replace, upgrade and maintain certain Customer provided computer and telecommunications equipment, or for Roof Access Colocation certain antenna, free space optics devices, mounting and other customary supporting equipment, (“Equipment”) for the purpose of connecting the Equipment within a portion of a DataBank datacenter in accordance with this Addendum (“Colocation Service”). The space allocated to Customer for Colocation Services (“Space”) is accepted “as-is” by Customer and DataBank makes no representation as to the fitness of the Space for the Customer’s intended purpose. No work related to Colocation Service shall commence until the MSA and the relevant Service Order(s) are executed by both parties.
     1.2 Interconnection of Equipment. Only upon the express written consent of DataBank may Customer interconnect Equipment to DataBank or a third party. If Customer should interconnect the Equipment with equipment or services of any entity, including DataBank, without written consent Customer shall be in breach of this Addendum and the MSA and DataBank may pursue any legal or equitable remedy, including but not limited to the immediate termination of the license granted in this Addendum.
     1.3. Cross Connect. All cross connects of Equipment with DataBank or any third party shall be established under the reasonable control and direction of DataBank. Monthly recurring charges (“MRC(s)”) and non-recurring charges (“NRC(s)”) for cross connects may apply to connections between Equipment and the equipment or cable of any third parties. There are no MRCs or NRCs for connecting directly to DataBank’s network.
     1.4 Customer Liability. Customer shall be responsible for damages resulting from its violation of this Addendum and Customer accepts full responsibility and will indemnify DataBank for loss of or misuse of access codes or access cards and for any damage caused by Customer’s Equipment. DataBank’s approval of any Customer installation plans or drawings shall not relieve Customer of its responsibility and its obligation to indemnify DataBank as set forth in this Section 1.4.
2. Effective Date and Term. The “Colocation Effective Date” is the date upon which DataBank delivers the Colocation Service for the applicable Service Order and entitles DataBank to begin billing for the Colocation Service. Each Service Order placed under this Addendum shall have a Service Term of not less than one (1) year as indicated on such Service Order. Once the Colocation Effective Date has occurred, but subject to the terms of the MSA, Customer must pay for the Colocation Services through the end of the Service Term or Extension Period, if any, regardless of whether Customer is actually using the Colocation Service. The Colocation Effective Date shall be delayed until DataBank provides power to enable Customer to utilize the Space unless such

 


 

failure is due to Customer’s failure to properly and timely provide information to DataBank in Customer’s Service Order. Notwithstanding, if a third party fails to provide service to the Customer’s ordered racks or cabinets by the Colocation Effective Date, whether ordered by the Customer or by DataBank on the Customer’s behalf, the Colocation Effective Date shall not be delayed.
     3.1 Pricing and Charges. The charge for Colocation Service includes monthly recurring charges (“MRC(s)”) and non-recurring charges (“NRC(s)”) as set forth in the Service Order Form and/or the quote (“Quote”) referenced in such Service Order Form. NRCs are charged on either a flat rate basis or an individual case basis (“ICB”) depending on the Colocation Service ordered. For example, an ICB NRC for installation is determined by Customer’s requirements for the Space. MRCs shall be payable in advance commencing on the Colocation Effective Date and shall also be payable on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the Service Term or Extension Period. Charges for partial months shall be prorated. NRCs are billed as set forth in the Service Order and/or the Quote.
     3.2. Datacenter Access. Authorized Customer personnel shall have 24/7/365 access to the Space. Customer shall not have access to space until it is contractually obligated to obtain Colocation Services relating to such Space through the provisions of the Agreement or DataBank acceptance of a Service Order Form for that Space. Customer will designate an individual(s) responsible for maintaining an access list of approved customer personnel and contractors who are authorized to have access to Space on behalf of customer. Each authorized individual will be issued an access card prior to gaining access to the facility. DataBank may revoke the access of any individual to a site or Space for reasonable cause. Such revocation shall be effective immediately.
4. Delay of Service. If DataBank fails to make Colocation Services available within thirty (30) calendar days after the Colocation Effective Date set forth in the Service Order due to any reason other than the acts or omissions of Customer, Customer’s sole remedy shall be to cancel the Service Order which pertains to such Colocation Service by written notice to DataBank. DataBank shall not be liable to Customer in any way as a result of such delay or failure to tender possession and Customer shall not be liable for any charges accruing as a result of the canceled Service Order. DataBank shall promptly refund any charges attributable to such Service Order that Customer has paid.
5. Removal of Customer Equipment. All fixtures, excluding customer equipment, alterations, additions, repairs, improvements and/or appurtenances attached to or built into, on or about the Space or any conduit and/or pole prior to or during the Service Term, or Extension Period, if any, whether by DataBank at its expense or at the expense of Customer, or by Customer at its expense or by previous occupants of the Space, shall be and remain part of the Space and shall not be removed by Customer at the end of the Service Term or Extension Period, if any. Although Customer may be licensed to use certain conduit and/or pole, DataBank will retain all title to conduit and/or pole. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the Service Term or Extension Period, if any, or Customer’s abandonment of any Space, or termination of this Addendum, the Agreement or the relevant Service Order, Customer shall remove all Customer Equipment from the Space at Customer’s sole cost under DataBank supervision. Customer shall provide DataBank with at least thirty (30) calendar days’ notice prior to such removal. All charges shall continue to apply until

 


 

Customer removes the Customer Equipment from the Space, but Customer shall not be entitled to use the Colocation Services after expiration or termination. If Customer fails to remove the same within said thirty (30) calendar day period, DataBank shall either: (a) remove Customer’s Equipment and issue an invoice to Customer for the cost of removal; or (b) notify Customer that DataBank elects to take ownership of such abandoned Customer Equipment, in which case Customer shall execute a bill of sale or other document evidencing DataBank title to such Customer Equipment. Customer shall surrender all colocation Space in substantially the same condition as existed when the Equipment was initially installed, reasonable wear and tear and casualty loss accepted. In the event any damage results from such removal, at DataBank’s election, Customer shall either repair the damage or pay the cost of repairs.
     6.1 Insurance. The Customer will carry or cause to be carried and maintained in force throughout the entire Service Term or Extension Period, if any, insurance coverage’s as described in paragraphs a. through d. below with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to DataBank. DataBank acknowledges that the carriers and limits of coverage set forth on Exhibit A are reasonably acceptable to DataBank.

All-risk property insurance covering Customer’s Equipment located in or on the POP or Transmission Site covering the full replacement cost value of the Equipment.
     6.2 Waiver of Subrogation. In each of the above described policies, Customer agrees to waive and will require its insurers to waive any rights of subrogation or recovery they may have against DataBank, its parent, subsidiary, or affiliated companies.
     6.3 Additional Insured. Under the policies described in Subsections 6.1 (b) and (c) above, DataBank, its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies will be named as additional insured’s as respects Customer’s operations and as respects the Agreement, as their interests may appear. Any costs associated with naming DataBank, its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies additional insured will be the responsibility of Customer. The policies described in Subsections 6.1 (b) and (c) above will serve as primary with respect to DataBank, its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, and any other insurance maintained by DataBank, its parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies is excess and not contributory with this insurance.

 


 

     6.4 Non-renewal. Non-renewal or cancellation of policies described above will be effective only after written notice is received by DataBank from the insurance company thirty (30) calendar days in advance of any such non-renewal or cancellation. Prior to the commencement of the Colocation Service hereunder, Customer will deliver to DataBank certificates of insurance on an ACORD 25 or 25S form evidencing the existence of the insurance coverage’s required above. In the event of a loss or claim arising out of or in connection with the work performed under the Agreement, Customer agrees, upon request of DataBank, to submit the original or a certified copy of its insurance policies for inspection by DataBank.
     6.5 No Obligation on DataBank. DataBank will not insure nor be responsible for any loss or damage, regardless of cause, to any Equipment or property of any kind, including loss of use thereof, owned, leased or borrowed by the Customer, its employees, servants or agents.
     6.6 Contractors. If Customer utilizes contractor(s) per this Addendum, then Customer shall require such contractor(s) to comply with these insurance requirements, Customer will supply subcontractor’s certificates of insurance to DataBank before any work commences.
     6.7 Landlord Requirements. The insurance requirements of this Section 6 shall be the insurance requirements under this Addendum unless more stringent requirements are made by the landlord pursuant to the lease relevant to the DataBank Data Center in question. In such event, Customer hereby agrees to comply with the landlord’s requirements under the lease, as the lease may be modified from time to time
     7.1 Limitations on Customer. Customer acknowledges that DataBank is granting only a license to occupy the Space and that DataBank is not granting any leasehold or other real property interests in the Space. Customer further agrees that neither this Addendum nor any interest created herein shall be assigned, mortgaged, subleased, encumbered or otherwise transferred, and that neither the Space nor any part thereof shall be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of Customer. If Customer places third-party equipment in the Space: (i) only Customer shall enter the Space, (ii) no third party may inspect, operate, install, maintain, or remove such equipment, and (iii) such equipment shall be deemed Customer Equipment. Any attempt to allow the use or occupation of the Space by anyone other than Customer, or to assign, mortgage, sublease or encumber any rights under this Addendum by Customer shall, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by DataBank, be void and shall entitle DataBank to terminate Customer’s rights to occupy the Space or terminate this Addendum. DataBank’s agreement to any of these arrangements shall be in the sole discretion of DataBank. Customer shall maintain the Space in a safe and clean manner and shall not cause damage to the Space, adjacent property or cause any interference with the colocation service provided to others, use of the building by the landlord or other tenants in the building or the DataBank network. Customer shall coordinate any work it desires to perform in the DataBank Data Center with DataBank and the other licensees or tenants of the building in which the POP or Transmission Site is located.
     7.2 Limitations on DataBank. All Customer Equipment installed or located in the DataBank Data Center shall remain the property of Customer and shall never be deemed a fixture to any real property owned by DataBank or any third party, except as expressly set forth in this Addendum. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in the Agreement shall give or convey to

 


 

DataBank any, right, title or interest in the Customer Equipment. DataBank shall not have the power, authority or right to create and shall not permit any lien or encumbrance, including without limitation, tax liens, mechanics’ liens, or other liens or encumbrances to be placed on the Customer Equipment or other Customer property in the Space or in any DataBank Data Center.
8. Eminent Domain. In the event of a taking by eminent domain (or a conveyance by any landlord of all or any portion of DataBank Data Center to an entity having the power of eminent domain after receipt of actual notice of the threat of such taking) of all or any portion of the DataBank Data Center so as to prevent, in DataBank’s sole discretion, the utilization by Customer of the Space in DataBank Data Center, relevant Service Order From(s) shall terminate as of the date of such taking or conveyance with respect to the Space which is affected by such taking or conveyance and the MRC paid or to be paid by Customer shall be reduced accordingly. Except as set forth below, Customer shall have no claim against DataBank for the value of the unexpired Service Term or Extension Period, if any, affected thereby (or any portion thereof) or any claim or right to any portion of the amount that might be awarded to the landlord of the DataBank Data Center or to DataBank as a result of any such payment for condemnation or damages. Nothing contained in this Addendum prohibits Customer from seeking any relief or remedy against the condemning authority in the event of an eminent domain proceeding that affects the Space.
9. Damage to Data Center. If fire or other casualty damages the building in which the DataBank Data Center is located, DataBank shall give notice to Customer of such damage as quickly as practicable under the circumstances. If a landlord or DataBank exercises an option to terminate a particular lease due to damage or destruction of the DataBank Data Center subject to such lease, or if DataBank decides not to rebuild such building or portion thereof in which the Space is located, all relevant pending Service Order(s) and all relevant Colocation Services and, as to such Space, this Colocation Addendum to MSA shall terminate as of the date of such exercise or decision as to the affected Space and the Colocation Service charges paid by Customer shall be modified accordingly. If neither the landlord of the DataBank Data Center nor DataBank exercises the right to terminate, DataBank shall restore the particular Space to substantially the same condition it was in prior to the damage, excluding reinstallation of any Customer Equipment, completing the same with reasonable diligence. In the event that DataBank shall fail to restore the affected Space within fifteen (15) days of the date of the fire or casualty loss, Customer shall thereupon have the option to terminate relevant pending Service Order(s) and relevant Colocation Services, and this Colocation Addendum to MSA, with respect to the affected Space, which option shall be the sole remedy available to Customer against DataBank under this Addendum and Agreement relating to such failure. If the Space or any portion thereof shall be rendered unusable by reason of such damage, the Colocation Service charge for such Space shall proportionately abate, based on the amount of square footage (or, at DataBank’s option, the number of rack/cabinet spaces) that is rendered unusable, for the period from the date of such damage to the date when such damage shall have been repaired for the portion of the Space rendered unusable.
10. Material Improvements. (i) If Customer desires to make improvements to the Space including installation of any Equipment deemed material and substantial as reasonably determined by DataBank, Customer shall submit all plans and specifications for such work to be performed to DataBank for written approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No construction may commence until DataBank has given its written approval. (ii) Customer shall not

 


 

employ any contractor to perform material improvements unless previously approved in writing by DataBank (and approved in writing by the landlord if required by the lease); approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Customer shall ensure that each contractor and subcontractor participating in or performing material improvements shall warrant that such work shall be completed free from all mechanic’s and/or materialman’s liens and free from any and all defects in workmanship and materials for the period of time which customarily applies in good contracting practice, but in no event for less than one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by Customer and DataBank. The aforesaid warranties of each such contractor and subcontractor and Customer shall include the obligation to repair or replace in a thoroughly first-class and workmanlike manner all defects in workmanship and materials without any additional charge. The contracts and subcontracts for performance of the material improvements shall set forth such warranties so that they shall inure to the benefit of DataBank and Customer as their respective interests may appear. Such warranties shall be so written that either Customer or DataBank can directly enforce them, and Customer shall give to DataBank any assignment or other assurance to effectuate the same.
11. Correction of Violations. If DataBank notifies Customer in writing of: a. a violation of Customer’s obligations under the Addendum or under other provisions of the Agreement relating to the DataBank Data Center, or b. any other circumstance or practice that, in DataBank’s reasonable opinion, is unsafe or otherwise unacceptable, and such violation, circumstance, or practice would have an adverse effect on DataBank, the landlord, DataBank’s other customers, the Space, or the DataBank Data Center, Customer shall promptly correct the problem. Without limiting the above obligation, Customer shall correct the problem within seven (7) calendar days or provide a written plan for correction to DataBank’s satisfaction together with a proposed completion date. If the problem is not resolved in seven (7) calendar days or within a longer time frame if agreed upon in writing by DataBank, DataBank shall have the option of either (i) correcting the problem with Customer paying the cost of such correction, or (ii) suspending the Colocation Service and disconnecting power and signal connects from Customer’s Equipment until Customer corrects the problem. If more than three (3) such violations occur within any six (6) month period, DataBank may require Customer to remove its Equipment from the Space(s) in question and shall have the right to terminate any Colocation Services at the DataBank Data Center, such suspension or termination shall not relieve Customer of its payment obligations. DataBank may correct conditions creating an immediate danger to persons or property without prior notice to Customer. Customer shall pay for the costs of DataBank’s correction of contractual or safety violations made pursuant to the provisions of this subsection.
     12.1 Colocation and Cross Connect Service Availability. Colocation Service and Cross Connect availability is a measurement of the percent of total time that Colocation Service power, cooling, and cross connects (Colocation Services’ as described below is available when measured over a thirty (30) day month (720 hour) period. Colocation Services are considered unavailable when there has been a loss of uninterruptible AC power supply (“UPS AC power”)), DC power, cross connect(s), or cooling to the Customer’s rack(s).
     12.2 Outage Credits. An Outage shall begin upon the earlier of DataBank’s actual knowledge of the Outage or DataBank’s receipt of notice from the Customer of the Outage. Subject to any other remedy available to Customer under any Service Level Warranty, if an Outage or series of Outages results in Colocation Services unavailability specified in Paragraph 12.1 above, Customer

 


 

shall be entitled to a credit (“Outage Credit”) upon DataBank’s receipt of Customer’s written request for such Outage Credit. Such written request must be received by DataBank within thirty (30) calendar days of the Outage. If DataBank does not receive Customer’s written notice within such thirty (30) calendar day period, Customer shall be deemed to waive its right to the Outage Credit. The amount of the Outage Credit for Colocation Services shall be:
         
Length of outage:   Credit (% of MRC)
1 to 5 minutes
    0 %
6 minutes to 59 minutes
    5 %
1 hour to 2 hours 59 minutes
    10 %
3 hours to 4 hours 59 minutes
    20 %
5 hours to 7 hours 59 minutes
    30 %
8 hours to 11 hours 59 minutes
