Item 1.01.   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On February 18, 2011, Constant Contact, Inc. (the “Company”), as tenant, entered into a Datacenter Lease (the “Lease”) with Digital 55 Middlesex, LLC, as landlord (“Digital 55”), an affiliate of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (“DRT”), effective as of January 1, 2011.
     Under the Lease, the Company will lease from Digital 55 space in a datacenter located in Bedford, Massachusetts, which houses certain elements of the Company’s production system hardware. The Lease supersedes in its entirety the Company’s Master Services Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2007, between Sentinel Properties-Bedford, LLC, as predecessor-in-interest to Digital 55, and the Company, as amended by First Amendment to Master Services Agreement, dated as of November 27, 2007 (collectively, the “Prior Lease”). The Lease does not affect the Company’s datacenter hosting agreement with Internap Network Services Corporation (the “Internap Agreement”), which will remain in effect, or the Company’s Turn Key Datacenter Lease, dated as of December 31, 2010, with Digital Alfred, LLC, an affiliate of DRT, which will replace the Internap Agreement upon the expiration of the Internap Agreement anticipated to be in August 2011.
     The initial term of the Lease will be 72 calendar months commencing as of January 1, 2011 and ending on December 31, 2016. The Company has the option to extend the Lease upon the expiration of the initial term for two 60-month renewal terms. The datacenter space leased by the Company under the Lease will consist of 5,600 square feet of space for the first 24 months of the term and automatically will be reduced by 600 square feet of space to include an aggregate of 5,000 square feet of space for the remainder of the Lease’s term. Base rent under the Lease will be $270,277.00 per month for the first 12 months of the Lease, $275,306.75 per month for the second 12 months of the Lease, $169,757.80 per month for the third 12 months of the Lease, $156,615.10 per month for the fourth 12 months of the Lease, $161,313.55 per month for the fifth 12 months of the Lease, and $166,152.96 per month for the sixth 12 months of the Lease. Base rent under the Lease will increase by three percent on each anniversary of the commencement date during any extension of the Lease pursuant to the Company’s renewal options.
     The foregoing description of the Lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Item 1.02.   Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Lease supersedes in its entirety the Prior Lease.
