Page 2 CyberFortress Data Center at Innovation Park BECO South purchased Innovation Park in March 2010 and immediately launched a dramatic top-to-bottom $30M renovation of the campus, including the launch of the CyberFortress Data Center, a mission critical-ready facility with a depth of in-place infrastructure, redundancy, security and scalability unrivaled in the Southeastern United States. By way of background, with a portfolio consisting of approximately 500 tenants and 5.5 million square feet of commercial office space, BECO has a 25 year track record as an owner actively engaged with its tenants throughout its portfolio in Metropolitan Washington, DC and Charlotte, NC. For the past decade, BECO-owned affiliates have constructed approximately 500,000 square feet of rapidly commissionable Tier II and Tier III data center facilities in metropolitan Washington, DC, Chicago, IL (and now Charlotte, NC). Known as CyberFortress facilities, these data center buildings have been constructed specifically for use as mission critical data centers. Each CyberFortress is constructed with much of the long-lead time critical infrastructure in-place (electrical power, fiber capacity and various layers of security and redundancy), providing a cost effective, rapidly commissionable facility where the data interior is controlled exclusively by the tenant and built to their exact tier and design specifications. Current occupants of CyberFortress facilities include, JPMorgan Chase, Verizon Communications, Discovery Communications and the Federal government.

Page 4 Available Infrastructure (MEP/FP) The mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems at Innovation Park have a great track record of reliability and are very well maintained. Below are brief descriptions that illustrate the services available for data center clients. Mechanical Systems Central Utility Plant: Four (4) chillers operating in parallel with an N+1 topology. Nominal chiller capacity of 1,250 tons each for a total of approximately 3,750 tons (13.1 MW) of cooling capacity distributed to the campus and 1,250 tons of additional reserve cooling capacity. Five 100,000 gallon thermal storage tanks (four of which are always full) support peak utility rate shaving for the central plant operation. 13 F water temperature range with design supply chilled water temperature of 42 F and 55 F chilled water return. 24x7 monitoring through Building Management System in addition to 24x7 on-site engineering staff and security personnel. Six cross flow BAC cooling towers set to operate in parallel fashion. Cooling tower topology N+2, indicating that two cooling towers are placed in standby and readily available as back up. Each cooling tower has a nominal capacity of 1,250 tons (357kW). Robust common concrete sumps with sectionalizing capability for maintenance and domestic water storage. Dual feeds of chilled condenser water piping to condenser water pump header. Six (6) 125 HP Condenser Water (CW) Pumps operating in parallel (by VFD) with an N+2 topology. Six (6) primary chilled water pumps are 40HP, operating in an N+2
Page 5 topology and four (4) secondary chilled water pumps are 200HP, operating in a 2N topology. Chilled Water Distribution: Chilled water (CHW) piping is routed through the campus in secure, underground tunnels. CHW piping includes taps and sectionalizing valves for future connections. The distribution through each building can be modified to fit the needs of the tenant. The chilled water is distributed to the individual AHUs which currently provide conditioned air to the tenant spaces. Data center clients that require larger chilled water distribution are able to connect to the main and distribute chilled water as necessary to accommodate their cooling demand. Boiler / Compressed Air Infrastructure: Three (3) comfort heating boilers. Two boilers provide hot water at a range of 130 F to 190 F. The hot water is distributed to the campus and is intended to serve perimeter heating units, and the main air handlers which are found in each building. An additional boiler can provide steam at 50 60psi, and is currently used for humidity control The central plant contains five (5) operational air compressors. Pneumatic controls are base building standard, however, DDC is provided at the tenants request (0 10V) The campus has high pressure air available to all buildings.
Page 6 Building Management System (BMS): The BMS is a Siemens 600 Apogee operating system which monitors the central utility plant and provides the building engineering staff with critical information on the operation of the central plant. The BMS is able to monitor and control terminal equipment in the campus buildings. The BMS is backed up by UPS power (locally). The BMS includes a redundant program for emergency backup. HVAC System: The CyberFortress is equipped with central built up Air Handling Units. The units have hot water reheat for comfort conditioning. The units are equipped with variable speed fans which force supply air through a ductwork distribution system. The ductwork is connected to Variable Volume Units (VVUs) which can be controlled to maintain a specific set point such as an office temperature. Each facility has a smoke exhaust system which is capable of purging the volume of the building. This is ideal for gaseous suppression purging, if required by the tenant. Electrical Systems Utility Capacity: Located on the Innovation Park campus, two 100 kv Duke Energy feeders (North Charlotte Black and North ON-SITE SUBSTATION DUKE ENERGY AT INNOVATION SUBSTATION PARK 1
Page 7 Charlotte White) fed from two separate substations (North Charlotte Substation and Harrisburg Substation). Each feeder can provide approximately 40 MW. Two 20 MVA Duke Energy forced air substation transformers to step the voltage down to 12.47 kv. Redundant capacity is approximately 18 MW. Campus Distribution: 1200A 15 kv medium voltage A and B side switchgear with a normally closed tie breaker. 1200A individual medium voltage distribution circuit breakers with relay over current protection. Redundant 5 MW underground feeders (Feeders 2A and 2B) from the 15 kv medium voltage switchgear serve the unit substations in the CyberFortress Manual throw over switches at each unit substation allow the source to be transferred to the alternate source. Three (3) 2000 kva unit substations within the CyberFortress step the voltage down to 480V. MEDIUM VOLTAGE DISTRIBUTION CIRCUITS Plumbing & Fuel Systems Plumbing: Potable water is provided by City source. Backflow prevention is provided at service entrance and on mechanical system make up. Storm water is removed by roof drains. The underground storm water is directed to a campus retention pond and removed from site to the
Page 8 municipal storm water system. Fuel Systems: Bulk Fuel Storage: Welded steel above ground tanks located in earthen clay berm containment area. Fuel Storage Capacity: 2-250,000 gallon tanks 2-100, 000 gallon tanks 500,000 gallon containment berm Diesel fuel is piped in a loop INNOVATION PARK FUEL STORAGE FIELD around the campus. The loop currently serves 8 generator sets located around the campus and the boilers. The boilers are dual fuel with the primary source being natural gas. Fire Suppression Systems Campus Loop: The campus is served by a 10 loop which is fed by 12 city main off of IBM Drive which is fed by a 16 line on WT Harris Blvd. This 16 main is fed from two additional, diverse mains. Loop pressure is boosted by diesel engine driven pumps connected to a 250,000 gallon above ground water storage tank. 20 loop isolation valves installed in the main loop. Two diesel powered fire booster pumps (175hp each) feed the loop in an N+1
Page 9 topology. Main loop pumps rated for 1500 gpm at 125 psi boost. Latest NFPA required annual pump test produced 130 psi discharge with 6 psi suction at a flow rate of 1489 gpm. The resulting 124 psi boost is 99% of design rating. 28 Hydrants (hand use only) are fed by loop 47 8 service entrance lines are in use and fed from the main loop. Tested Quarterly per NFPA requirements. Main control valves are locked and have tamper switch. Fiber / Telecom Infrastructure Building Topology: Two (2) service provider demarcation rooms, East & West. East Demarcation Room [EDR]: Six (6) 4 conduits from the underground telecom manhole system. Providers: AT&T, Verizon, TW Telecom, Zayo Networks and Time Warner Cable have services available from the EDR. West Demarcation Room [WDR]: Has conduit infrastructure from the East Demarcation Room and from diverse underground entry. TW Telecom has redundant fiber to this room. AT&T and TW telecom have services available from WDR. There is a cable tray system between the EDR, WDR and The CyberFortress Data Center, enabling easy routing and redundant pathways from the Demarcation Rooms to the tenant.
