WHEREAS, XO is willing to grant Customer a license to occupy a portion of the Premises upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, Customer and XO (collectively the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:

1. License to Occupy and Permissible Use.

A. Subject to the terms provided below, XO hereby grants to Customer a license (the “License”) to install, operate, maintain, and repair a communications system, associated equipment, lines and cables connected thereto, and/or hardware server(s) and its associated cables (collectively, the “Equipment”) in a portion of the Premises depicted in the Collocation Schedule attached hereto (the “Equipment Space”). As defined herein, the term “Equipment” shall include, if Customer has signed a Telco Collocation Schedule, only transmission equipment, such as optical terminating equipment and multiplexes; or, if Customer has signed a Server Collocation Schedule, “Equipment” includes but is not limited to the server hardware and other associated equipment necessary for the support of such hardware. The term “Equipment” shall specifically not include voice circuit switching equipment. Customer shall co-locate the Equipment with XO’s communications facilities and associated equipment (the “Facilities”) at the Premises.

B. Each Telco Collocation Schedule shall have attached thereto the following Exhibits: Telco Collocation Terms and Conditions, identified as Exhibit A, General Nondisclosure Agreement as Exhibit B, the Floor Plan for the Equipment Space, identified as Exhibit C and Dispatch Labor Charges, identified as Exhibit D. Each Telco Collocation Schedule shall only be effective upon its full execution by the Parties and together with the terms hereof and the related exhibits shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the Equipment Space (collectively the “Agreement”).

C. Each Server Collocation Schedule shall have attached thereto the following Exhibits: Server Collocation Terms and Conditions, identified as Exhibit A, General Nondisclosure Agreement, identified as Exhibit B. Each Server Collocation Schedule shall only be effective upon its full execution by the Parties and together with the terms hereof and the related exhibits shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the Equipment Space (collective the “Agreement”).

D. Customer shall use the Equipment Space and the Equipment installed with the Premises solely to provide communications services to or for the benefit of itself and its customers. Such usage is further subject to the provisions set forth in a Collocation Schedule. Customer shall not prohibit or interfere with the use of the Premises or any portion thereof, by XO or other tenants, customers or occupants of the Premises. Customer shall not sublicense, lease, rent, share, resell or allow the use of the Equipment or Equipment Space, in whole or in part, by any third party, including but not limited to other providers of computer or communications services, without XO’s prior written consent.

Term. The term of the License to occupy each Equipment Space shall begin on the “Requested Service Date,” set forth in paragraph 3 of each individual Telco or Server Collocation Schedule or, on the date that XO completes the build-out of the Equipment Space, whichever is later. In the event that Customer does not accept a site within 72 hours of XO’s build-out completion, XO will begin billing for the space. The minimum term of Customer’s license to occupy the Equipment Space shall be the period set forth in each Collocation Schedule (the “Term”). In the event the XO is delayed in tendering possession of the Equipment Space to the Customer for any reason other than the acts of omissions of Customer, Customer shall not be obligated to pay the License Fee (as defined in the applicable Collocation Schedule) set forth in the Collocation Schedule until such time as XO tenders possession of the Equipment Space to Customer. Except as provided herein, XO shall not be liable to Customer in any way as a result of such delay or failure to tender possession.

3. Renewal. Following the expiration of the term as set forth in each Collocation Schedule, Customer’s license shall automatically renew on a month to month basis in accordance with the same terms and conditions specified herein, unless terminated by either Customer or XO upon sixty (60) days prior written notice. Customer shall also have an option to renew the Term for an additional term, subject to agreement by the parties on the License Fee for the renewal period, which License Fee will be the then-current market rate for the License. Customer’s option to renew the License for each Equipment Space shall be contingent on the election by XO to continue to own or lease the Premises in which the Equipment Space is located for the duration of the Renewal Period(s), such election to be exercised at the sole discretion of XO.

4. Early Termination. If Customer chooses to end a license for any site prior to the end of the contracted term for the site, the Customer will be responsible for a termination charge equal to the monthly recurring charges for the site multiplied by the number of months remaining in the contracted term.

5. Reservation of Rights. XO reserves the right to grant, renew or extend similar licenses to others for locating equipment and facilities in the Premises. Customer acknowledges that it

has been granted only a license to use and occupy the Space and that it has not been granted, nor does it possess, any real property interests in the Space. No use of the Space or XO Location by Customer or payment of any charges required under this Agreement shall create or vest in Customer any easements or other ownership or real property interest of any kind or nature. If this Agreement shall be construed by the landlord or the sub-landlord of the XO Location (if applicable) to be a violation of the lease or sublease under which XO occupies the XO Location, then upon the request of XO, Customer shall either enter into an agreement approved by such landlord or sub-landlord, or immediately remove Customer’s Equipment from the XO Location. XO agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Customer in obtaining the approvals Customer may need to obtain from the landlord or sub-landlord.

Customer further represents and warrants that it will maintain all such Authorizations throughout the term of this Agreement.
