IF LANDLORD DOES NOT RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN TWENTY DAYS, LANDLORD’S APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GRANTED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE LEASE”. Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any plans and specifications in part, to reserve approval of items shown thereon pending its review and approval of other plans and specifications, and to condition its approval upon Tenant making revisions to the plans and specifications or supplying additional information. Tenant agrees that any review or approval by Landlord of any plans and/or specifications with respect to any Alteration is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation or warranty whatsoever to Tenant or any other Person with respect to the adequacy, correctness or sufficiency thereof or with respect to Requirements or otherwise.

If Landlord applies or retains any portion or all of the proceeds of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall forthwith restore the amount so applied or retained by delivering cash or an additional or new Letter of Credit so that, at all times, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be equal to three (3) months of the Fixed Rent then in effect under this Agreement (which is initially $366,000). Within fifteen (15) days of any change in the Fixed Rent, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either a replacement Letter of Credit or an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit, or additional cash, as applicable, to reflect the appropriate amount of the security required hereunder.). Provided there is no uncured default, any balance of the proceeds of the Security Deposit held by Landlord and not used, applied or retained by Landlord as above provided, and any remaining Letter of Credit, shall be returned to Tenant promptly after the Expiration Date and after delivery of possession of the entire Premises to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

(b) If Tenant elects to deliver the Security Deposit in the form of a letter of credit, such letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) shall be clean, irrevocable and unconditional and issued and drawn on any commercial bank approved by Landlord with offices for banking purposes in the State of New York (““Issuing Bank”), have a term of not less than one (1) year, be for the account of Landlord, and be in the full amount of the Security Deposit. The Letter of Credit shall:

(i) provide for payment by the Issuing Bank to Landlord or its duly authorized representative an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit on presentation of the Letter of Credit and a sight draft in the amount to be drawn;

(ii) provide for automatic renewal, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one (1) year each during the Term, unless the Issuing Bank sends written notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, to the effect that it elects not to have such Letter of Credit renewed;

(iii) include an expiration date of not earlier than sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date; and

(iv) be transferable by Landlord as provided in Paragraph 13.

(c) Landlord, after receipt of the Non-Renewal Notice, shall have the right to draw the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and to hold the proceeds as a cash Security Deposit. Landlord shall release such proceeds to Tenant upon delivery to Landlord of a replacement Letter of Credit complying with the terms hereof.

(d) In the event that Landlord transfers or assigns its interest in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit, without charge for such transfer, to the purchaser or lessee, and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. In such event, Tenant agrees to look solely to the new Landlord for the return of the Security Deposit. It is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new Landlord. Tenant shall execute such documents as may be necessary to accomplish such transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit.

(e) Tenant covenants that it will not assign or encumber, or attempt to assign or encumber, the Security Deposit held hereunder, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance. In the event that any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other debtor-creditor proceedings shall be instituted by or against Tenant, its successors or assigns, or any guarantor of Tenant hereunder, the security shall be deemed to be applied to the payment of the Fixed Rent and additional rent due Landlord for periods prior to the institution of such proceedings and the balance, if any, may be retained by Landlord in partial satisfaction of Landlord’s damages.

14. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT’S OBLIGATIONS. If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term or covenant on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed under or by virtue of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease, (a) Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, remedy such default for the account of Tenant, immediately and without notice in case of emergency, or in any other case only provided that Tenant shall fail to remedy such default with all reasonable dispatch after Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing of such default and the applicable grace period for curing such default shall have expired; and (b) if Landlord makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for the payment of money in connection with such default including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, such sums paid or obligations incurred shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate upon rendition of a ▇▇▇▇ to Tenant therefor.

Any property that Tenant shall be required to remove pursuant to the preceding sentence and that it shall fail to remove upon the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Landlord and may be removed and disposed of by Landlord without accountability to Tenant and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If any damage to the Premises or the Building results from the removal of such property (whether such removal is performed by Landlord or Tenant), Tenant shall repair such damage or, in default thereof, shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing such damage.

(b) If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date, without the execution by both Tenant and Landlord of a new lease for occupancy of the Premises, Tenant, at the election of Landlord, shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, at a monthly rental equal to two (2) times the then Fixed Rent, subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. In addition, if the Premises are not surrendered upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord against liability or expense (including any consequential damages) resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises.

17. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS: WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other or any matters arising out of or in connection with this Lease or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand, for any costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the enforcement of this provision and in collecting amounts payable hereunder) incurred in connection with enforcing Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Paragraph 17 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

Any party may change the address to which any such Notice is to be delivered, by furnishing ten (10) days written Notice of such change to the other parties in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 19. Notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date they are actually received; provided, however, that (i) if any Notice is received on a holiday or weekend or after 5:00 p.m. on a business day in the time zone where received, it shall be deemed given on the next succeeding business day, and (ii) the inability to deliver Notices because of a changed address of which no Notice was given, or rejection or refusal to accept any Notice offered for delivery shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept delivery (subject to the provisions of clause (i) above).

20. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE, (a) Tenant shall give notice to Landlord, promptly after Tenant learns thereof, of any accident, emergency, occurrence, fire or other casualty (each, a “Casualty”) and all damages to or defects in the Premises or the Building. Such notice shall be given by telecopy or personal delivery to the address(es) of Landlord in effect for Notices pursuant to Paragraph 19 of this Lease. If Landlord reasonably determines that the Premises and/or the Building cannot be restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Casualty, Landlord shall so notify Tenant, and Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice of termination, given to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s determination, this Lease shall expire as of the date of termination stated in said notice with the same effect as if that date were the Expiration Date, and Fixed Rent and additional rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date. If neither party so terminates this Lease, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence, after receipt of the net proceeds of insurance, to repair or cause to be repaired such damage at its expense. If this Lease is not terminated as set forth in this subparagraph and the damaged portion of the Premises shall be rendered unuseable for its intended purposes as same was utilized prior to such damage and such damage shall not be due to the fault of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, then Fixed Rent and additional rent, or an amount thereof apportioned according to the area of the Premises so rendered untenantable (if less than the entire Premises shall be so rendered untenantable) or by the diminished business usefulness, if a more appropriate measure, shall be abated for the period from the date of such damage to the date when the repair of such damage shall have been substantially completed. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance on the part of Landlord and/or Tenant, or any cause beyond the control of Landlord or contractors employed by Landlord.

(b) Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from damage from fire or other casualty or the repair thereof. Tenant understands that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s furnishings, furniture, contents, fixtures, space equipment and leasehold improvements, and that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same.

(c) This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Building or any part thereof by fire or other casualty, and any law providing for a contingency in the absence of express agreement shall have no application in such case.

21. INDEMNITY, (a) Except to the extent of insurance proceeds received by the Indemnitees (as defined in Paragraph 23). Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless the Indemnitees from and against (i) all claims of whatever nature against the Indemnitees arising from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or its principals, officers, agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees and invitees (collectively, “Persons Within Tenant’s Control”), (ii) all claims against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring in or about the Premises during the Term or during Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, unless and to the extent caused by the act, omission, or negligence of Landlord or its principals, officers or employees, (iii) all claims against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage occurring outside of the Premises but anywhere within or about the Building, where such accident, injury or damage results or is claimed to have resulted from an act, omission or negligence of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, and (iv) any breach, violation or non performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease to be fulfilled, kept, observed or performed by Tenant. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity from and against any and all liability, fines, suits, demands, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof, and all collection costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Landlord in enforcing this indemnity provision against Tenant.

(b) If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against any Indemnitee, against which claim, action or proceeding Tenant is obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee pursuant to the terms of this Lease, then, upon demand by the Indemnitee, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnitee’s name, if necessary, by such attorneys as the Indemnitee may select, including, without limitation, attorneys for the Indemnitee’s insurer. The provisions of this Paragraph 21 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(a) This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

(b) This Lease may not be amended orally.

(c) Each agreement or obligation to be performed by Tenant or Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of Tenant or Landlord, not dependent on any other provision of this Lease.

(e) All amounts, other than Fixed Rent, payable to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, shall be deemed “additional rent” and Landlord shall have the same remedies for the default in payment thereof which Landlord has for default in the payment of Fixed Rent.

(f) The obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not be binding on Landlord named herein after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by such Landlord (or upon any subsequent landlord after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by such subsequent landlord) of its interest in the Building or the Land, as the case may be, and in the event of any such sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer, Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease thereafter arising, and the transferee shall be deemed to have assumed, subject to the remaining provisions of this subparagraph (f), all obligations of Landlord under this Lease arising after the effective date of the transfer. No trustee, partner, shareholder, director or officer of Landlord, or of any partner or shareholder of Landlord (collectively, the “Parties”) shall have any direct or personal liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building and the Land to enforce Landlord’s obligations hereunder and shall not otherwise seek any damages against Landlord personally or any of the Parties whatsoever. Tenant shall not look to any other property or assets of Landlord or any property or assets of any of the Parties in seeking either to enforce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord’s failure to perform such obligations.

(g) Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord has not dealt with any broker or Person in connection with this Lease. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant has not dealt with any broker or Person in connection with this Lease. The execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has relied upon the foregoing representation and warranty. Each party to this Lease shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all claims for commission, fee or other compensation by any Person who claims to have dealt with the party breaching its representation and warranty hereunder in connection with this Lease and for any and all costs incurred by the non-breaching party in connection with such claims, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(h) When in this Lease Landlord’s consent or approval is required and this Lease provides that Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and Landlord shall refuse such consent or approval, or in any instance in which Landlord shall delay its consent or approval, Tenant in no event shall be entitled to make, nor shall Tenant make, any claim, and Tenant hereby waives any claim, for money damages (nor shall Tenant claim any money damages by way of set-off, counterclaim or defense) based upon any claim or assertion by Tenant that Landlord unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed its consent or approval. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision, for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.

26. FORCE MAJEURE. If, by reason of (i) strike or lockout, (ii) labor troubles, (iii) governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency, (iv) any rule, order or regulation of any governmental agency, (v) conditions of supply or demand which are affected by war or other national, state or municipal emergency, or any other cause, (vi) fire or other casualty, (vii) legal challenges to the validity or issuance of any permits, consents, certificates, licenses or approvals required from any Governmental Authority, (viii) acts of God, or (ix) any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (“Force Majeure Causes”), Landlord shall be unable to fulfill its obligations under this Lease or shall be unable to supply any service which Landlord is obligated to supply, this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay rent hereunder shall in no wise be affected, impaired or excused.

27. CONDEMNATION, (a) If the whole of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises is acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title with the same effect as if said date were the Expiration Date. If only a part of the Real Property and not the entire Premises is so acquired or condemned then, (i) except as hereinafter provided, this Lease and the Term shall continue in effect but, if a part of the Premises is included in the part of the Real Property so acquired or condemned and same diminishes the business usefulness and data center capabilities of the Premises, from and after the date of the vesting of title, the Fixed Rent shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part of the Premises so acquired or condemned bears to the total area of the Premises (or by the amount by which the data center’s capabilities within the Premises have been diminished, if a better measure) immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation; (ii) whether or not the Premises are affected thereby, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may give to Tenant, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of vesting of title, a thirty (30) day notice of termination of this Lease; and (3) if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has access to the Premises and access will not be available for six (6) or more months, Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may give to Landlord, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Tenant receives notice of vesting of title, a thirty (30) day notice of termination of this Lease. If any such thirty (30) day notice of termination is given, by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease and the term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration of said thirty (30) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said thirty (30) days were the Expiration Date. If a part of the Premises is so acquired or condemned and this Lease and the term are not terminated, Landlord, at Landlord’s cost and expense, shall restore that part of the Premises not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained rental unit, exclusive of Tenant’s Alterations and Tenant’s Property. In the event of any termination of this Lease and the term, the Fixed Rent shall

be apportioned as of the date of sooner termination and any prepaid portion of the Fixed Rent or escalation rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.

(b) In the event of any such acquisition or condemnation of all or any part of the Real Property, as between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any such acquisition or condemnation. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to any such award. Nothing shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the value of any Tenant’s Property included in such taking, and for any moving expenses, so long as Landlord’s award is not reduced thereby.

28. SHARING OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, at present, Tenant and Landlord share portions of the area that is the Existing Premises and share the use of the data center. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that, until the Final Completion of the Work, Landlord and Tenant shall continue to share portions of the Existing Premises and data center. During the Construction Period, Landlord and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to minimize any interference with the personal property, employees and business operations of the other party. The parties hereto shall use good faith efforts to resolve all differences, problems and disagreements regarding the access and equipment as to which they share without intervention. However, if such dispute is not resolved within ten (10) Business Days, the parties may exercise any right or remedy at law or equity, provided that neither party shall be permitted to receive consequential damages with respect to any such or other claim hereunder.

29. EXTENSION OPTIONS.

(a) Provided that (i) Tenant has not assigned this Lease or sublet any or all of the Premises other than to an Affiliate, and (ii) there shall not be outstanding any default under this Lease by Tenant at the time of exercise or at any time thereafter until the beginning of any such extension of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the option (each a “Extension Option”), to extend the Term of this Lease for two (2) additional periods of thirty (30) months each (each a “Extension Period”), by giving written notice to Landlord of the exercise of any such Extension Option at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Initial or then extended Term hereof. The exercise of any Extension Option by Tenant shall be irrevocable and shall cover the entire Premises. Upon such exercise, the Term of this Lease shall automatically be extended for the applicable Extension Period without the execution of any further instrument by the parties; provided that Landlord and Tenant shall, if requested by the other execute and acknowledge an instrument confirming the exercise of the applicable Extension Option. Any Extension Option shall terminate if not exercised precisely in the manner provided herein. Any extension of the Term hereof shall be upon all the Terms and conditions set forth in this Lease and all Exhibits hereto, except that: (i) Tenant shall have no further

option to extend the term of this Lease after the exercise of the second Extension Option hereunder, (ii) Landlord shall not be obligated to contribute funds toward the cost of any remodeling, renovation, alteration or improvement work in the Premises; and (hi) Base Rent for any such Extension Period shall be at the then “Fair Market Annual Rent” (as hereinafter defined) for the Premises for the space and Term involved, which shall be determined as set forth below.

(b) “Fair Market Annual Rent” means the “fair market” Fixed Rent at the time or times in question for the applicable space and services provided hereunder, based on the prevailing rents then being charged to new tenants in the Building and new tenants in other similar facilities of the Building of comparable size, location, quality, equipment, services and age as the Building for leases with terms equal to the Extension Period, taking into account the desirability, location in the Building, size and quality of the space, included services and operating expense pass throughs, if any; provided, however, that the determination of Fair Market Annual Rent shall not take into account tenant improvements allowances, free rent or other allowances or concessions typically offered to attract new tenants to the Building or comparable buildings.

(c) Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree on the Fair Market Annual Rent. If they have been unable to agree on the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, then, within thirty (30) days after the end of such 180-day period, Landlord and Tenant each, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a competent and disinterested full time appraiser with at least five (5) years’ commercial, appraisal and data center rental experience in the State of Colorado to determine the Fair Market Annual Rent. If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint an appraiser within such thirty (30) day period, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the Fair Market Annual Rent. If two (2) appraisers are appointed by Landlord and Tenant as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Fair Market Annual Rent. If the two (2) appraisers are unable to agree within thirty (30) after the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within ten (10) days thereafter. If they are unable to agree on the third appraiser, either Landlord or Tenant, by giving ten (10) days’ notice to the other party, may apply to the then, or to the Presiding Judge of the Superior court of ▇▇▇▇▇ County, for the selection of a third appraiser who meets the qualifications stated in this paragraph. The third appraiser, however, selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant. Within ten (10) days of the appointment of the third appraiser, the two (2) appraisers selected by the parties each shall submit such appraiser’s determination of the Fair Market Annual Rent and, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the third appraiser shall select one of the two submissions of Fair Market Annual Rent, which selection shall be binding on the parties. The party whose appraiser’s determination of Fair Market Annual Rent is not selected shall bear the cost of appointing the third appraiser, if any, and of paying the third appraiser’s fee.

(d) In the event the Fair Market Annual Rent for any Extension Period has not been determined at such time as Tenant is obligated to pay Fixed Rent for such

Extension Period, then pending such determination, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent equal to the Fixed Rent payable in respect of the last year of the Term immediately prior to the Extension Period; provided that upon the determination of the applicable Fair Market Annual Rent and the Fixed Rent payable for the Extension Period, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, any deficiency in Fixed Rent theretofore paid, together with interest at the Applicable Rate.

(e) In no event shall the Fixed Rent during the Extension Period be less than the Fixed Rent in effect immediately prior to the Extension Period.

(f) Unless the context otherwise require a different interpretation, the ‘Term” of this Lease, as used herein, shall include the Initial Term and any Extension Period with respect to which Tenant exercises an Extension Option.

30. CUBICLE SPACE. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord up to 20 cubicles or workstations. Tenant’s lease of the cubicles and workstations shall commence on the date of this Lease and shall expire on the Expiration Date. Tenant may increase (up to 20) or decrease the number of cubicles or workstations from time to time by providing three (3) months notice to Landlord. Tenant shall pay additional rent of $244 per cubicle/workstation per month. For each twelve (12) month period subsequent to the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, the per month per cubicle/workstation rent shall increase by the same proportion by which the Fixed Rent increased relative to the prior year’s Fixed Rent (after making any adjustments necessary to eliminate any increase or decrease to the prior year’s Fixed Rent resulting from the fact that the Tape Library Space no longer constitutes Premises, if applicable). The provisions of Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15,16 and 21 shall apply to the cubicles/workstations to the same extent that such provisions would apply if the cubicles/workstations constituted Premises.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease on the day and year first above set forth.

Each tenant shall be responsible for all persons for whom he requests such permission and shall be liable to Landlord for all acts of such persons. Any person whose presence in the Building at any time shall, in the judgment of Landlord, be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and interests of the Building or its tenants may be denied access to the Building or may be ejected therefrom. In case of invasion, riot, public excitement or other commotion, Landlord may prevent all access to the Building during the continuance of the same, by closing the doors or otherwise, for the safety of the tenants and protection of property in the Building. Landlord may require any person leaving the Building with any package or other object to exhibit a pass from the tenant from whose premises the package or object is being removed, but the establishment and enforcement, or failure to enforce, of such requirements shall not impose any responsibility on Landlord for the protection of any tenant against the removal of property from the premises of the tenant. Landlord shall, in no way, be liable to any tenant for damages or loss arising from the admission, exclusion or ejection of any person to or from the tenant’s premises or the Building under the provisions of this rule.

(12) No additional locks or bolts of any kind shall be placed upon any of the doors or windows in any tenant’s premises, and no lock on any door therein shall be changed or altered in any respect.
