1.                                      Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined

(a)                                 Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is
amended by adding the following new definitions thereto:

 

“REIT Conversion” shall mean the proposed plan to convert the Parent into a real
estate investment trust as described in the Parent’s Current Report on Form 8-K

without limitation, the restructuring of the Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’
assets, liabilities and business operations, changes in the methods of
depreciating or amortizing certain of their assets, and the modification of
internal accounting, information technology, real estate and other systems), and
matters related thereto.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“REIT Conversion Date” shall mean the effective date of the REIT Conversion with
respect to the Parent.

 

(b)                                 Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is
further amended restating the definitions of “Adjusted EBITDA,” “EBITDA” and
“Fixed Charges” therein to read as follows:

 

“Adjusted EBITDA” shall mean, for any period, EBITDA for such period, minus cash
paid for income taxes for such period as set forth in the consolidated statement
of cash flows of the Parent covering such period, adjusted to exclude (i) income
taxes attributable to extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or charges
or other items (including sale of fixed assets not in the ordinary course of
business) and (ii) income taxes (and any related interest and penalties)
associated with any changes adopted by the Parent or any Subsidiary in
connection with the REIT Conversion in its method of depreciating or amortizing
(A) improvements at its storage facilities, including racking and shelving
systems, (B) intangible assets (including goodwill) associated with costs
incurred to originate or acquire storage agreements, (C) intangible assets
related to the acquisition of leaseholds on real property or (D) any other
tangible or intangible property associated with the characterization by the
Parent and its Subsidiaries of such property as real estate assets and interests
in real property for income tax purposes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
aggregate amount of income taxes (and related interest and penalties) for fiscal
years 2012 and 2013 of the Parent that may be excluded pursuant to the preceding
clause (ii) shall not exceed $225,000,000.

 

“EBITDA” shall mean, for any period, the sum (without duplication), determined
on a consolidated basis for the Parent and its Subsidiaries, of (a) net income
for such period plus (b) to the extent deducted in determining net income for
such period, the sum of (i) depreciation and amortization (including deferred
financing costs, organization costs, goodwill and non-compete amortization) for
such period, (ii) other non-cash expenses for such period (including minority
interest expense), (iii) Interest Expense for such period, (iv) provision for
income taxes for such period, (v) extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring
charges or other items (including without limitation losses arising from any
natural disasters, debt extinguishment expenses, foreign currency transaction
losses and losses on investments) for such period determined in accordance with
GAAP after giving effect to any related charges for, reductions of or provisions
for taxes thereon, (vi) non-compete expenses for such period to the extent not
capitalized in accordance with GAAP, (vii) losses on sales of fixed assets not
in the ordinary course of business for such period after giving effect to any
related charges for, reductions of or provisions for taxes thereon and (viii)
costs and expenses associated with the REIT Conversion, including, without
limitation, planning and advisory costs related to the foregoing (provided that
the aggregate amount of costs and expenses in connection with the REIT
Conversion that may be added back pursuant to this clause (viii) shall not
exceed $125,000,000 for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 of the Parent), minus (c) to
the extent included in the calculation of net income for such period, the sum of
(i) other income (including interest income) for such period (including gains
attributable to minority interest in its Subsidiaries), (ii) extraordinary,
unusual or non-recurring gains or other items (including without limitation
gains resulting from debt extinguishment, foreign currency transaction gains and
gains on investments) for such period determined in accordance with GAAP after
giving effect to any related charges for, reductions of or provisions for taxes
thereon and (iii) gains on sales of fixed assets not in the ordinary course of
business for such period after giving effect to any related charges for,
reductions of or provisions for taxes thereon.

 

For the purposes of calculating the ratios set forth in Sections 9.09 and 9.11
there may, at the Parent’s option (such option to be consistently applied with
respect to each transaction), be included in EBITDA for any relevant period, on
a pro forma basis (adjusted to give effect to

expenses that will not be ongoing), the net income (and the additions and
subtractions thereto referred to above) for such period of any Person (or
assets) acquired after the commencement of such period in connection with any
Permitted Acquisition having Acquisition Consideration of more than $500,000.
The net income (and the related additions and subtractions) of the Person or
assets acquired pursuant to such acquisition for such period shall be calculated
by reference to the most recent available quarterly financial statements of the
acquired business, annualized.

 

“Fixed Charges” shall mean for any period the sum of (i) Scheduled Amortization
for such period plus (ii) Interest Expense for such period plus (iii) 50% of the
total Capital Expenditures (total Capital Expenditures being calculated for this
purpose to exclude (x) replacement Capital Expenditures made with the proceeds
of insurance and (y) Capital Expenditures in connection with the REIT
Conversion) for such period; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
amount of Capital Expenditures excluded pursuant to clause (y) shall not exceed
$50,000,000 in the aggregate for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 of the Parent, plus
(iv) the aggregate amount of non-compete expenses for such period to the extent
not capitalized in accordance with GAAP plus (v) prior to the REIT Conversion
Date, the aggregate amount of regular quarterly dividend payments, typically
paid on or about January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, in cash by the
Parent during such period plus (vi) from and after the REIT Conversion Date, the
aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made in cash by the Parent.

 

(c)                                  The amendments set forth in Sections 2(a)
and 2(b) hereof shall terminate on the Business Day preceding the last day of
the Parent’s fiscal quarter ending on or about March 31, 2014; provided that the
amendment to clauses (v) and (vi) of the amendment to “Fixed Charges” set forth
in Section 2(b) hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect along with
the remainder of this Amendment.  The amendment to “EBITDA” set forth in Section
2(b) hereof shall not be effective for purposes of determining the Applicable
Commitment Fee Rate or the Applicable Margin.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding Section 6.3 of each of the
Parent Pledge Agreement, the Company Pledge Agreement and the Subsidiary Pledge
Agreement, and any similar provision in any other pledge agreement entered into
in connection with the Credit Agreement, Pledged LLC Interests (as defined in
such pledge agreements and including any other term referring to limited
liability company interests included in the Collateral) may, upon prior written
notice to, and with the consent of the Administrative Agent, become “Securities”
within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction as long as the relevant pledgor causes all such Pledged
LLC Interests to constitute Collateral for the Secured Obligations, delivers to
the Administrative Agent all certificates representing such Pledged LLC
Interests and effective indorsements in blank with respect to such certificates
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  The Parent and the
Company shall cause such pledgor to take all other action required or requested
by the Administrative Agent to create and maintain its first priority security
interest in such Pledged LLC Interests and the proceeds thereof.

 

3.                                      Amendment Fee.  The Company shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender which executes and
delivers this Amendment, on or prior to the Effective Date, an amendment fee
equal to .05% of the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Term Loans,
payable on the Effective Date.

reaffirms and restates the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8
of the Credit Agreement and the representations and warranties in the Basic
Documents mutatis mutandis, except to the extent that such representations and
warranties expressly relate to a specific earlier date in which case the Parent
and the Company each hereby confirms, reaffirms and restates such
representations and warranties as of such earlier date.  Each of the Parent and
the Company represents and warrants that, after giving effect to this Amendment,
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

become effective as of the date set forth above (the “Effective Date”) upon the

addendum or joinder agreement in a form specified by the Administrative Agent).

 

(b)                                 Security Documents. The Administrative Agent
