(b)    Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than the Swing Line Deadline on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, by the applicable Borrower to (x) the Administrative Agent in the case of any such Borrowing in Euros or Sterling under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility and (y) the applicable Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent in the case of any Borrowing in Canadian Dollars under the Multicurrency Facility or any such Borrowing under any of the other Swing Line Facilities.  Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be by e‐mail (in the case of the Singapore Swing Line Facility and Australian Swing Line Facility), e‐mail or facsimile (in the case of any such Borrowing in Euros or Sterling under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility or any such Borrowing under  the Yen Swing Line Facility), e‐mail and facsimile (in the case of any such Borrowing in Canadian Dollars under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility) and e‐mail, telex or facsimile (in the case of the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility), in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing, (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the earlier of (A) the fourteenth Business Day after the requested date of such Borrowing and (B) the Termination Date), (iv) the currency of such Borrowing, and (v) the Borrower proposing such Borrowing.  The applicable Swing Line Bank or, in the case of a Swing Line Borrowing in Euros or Sterling under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility, the applicable Swing Line Bank or the Administrative Agent (after the Swing Line Bank has funded the amount to the Administrative Agent) shall, before the Swing Line Availability Time, make the amount thereof available to the applicable Borrower by crediting a Borrower’s Account maintained by the applicable Borrower in same day funds except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Swing Line Bank, as applicable, has actual knowledge of a Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is then continuing.  Upon written demand by the applicable Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each (A) U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility, (B) Multicurrency Revolving Lender with respect to the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility, (C) Yen Revolving Lender with respect to the Yen Swing Line Facility, (D) Australian Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the Australian Swing Line Facility and (E) Singapore Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the Singapore Swing Line Facility, shall purchase from such Swing Line Bank, and such Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance as of the date of such demand, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to each such sale and assignment.  Each such Lender agrees to purchase its Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance (i) on the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Swing Line Bank in the case of the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable Swing Line Purchasing Notice Deadline on such Business Day, (ii) no later than three Business Days after the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Swing Line Bank in the case of the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility, the Yen Swing Line Facility, the Singapore Swing Line Facility or the Australian Swing Line Facility, provided that, in each case, notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable Swing Line Purchasing Notice Deadline, or (iii) the first Business Day next succeeding the funding date set forth in the applicable notice of demand if such notice of such demand is given after any applicable Swing Line Purchasing Notice Deadline.

If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the applicable Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the cost of funds incurred by the applicable Swing Line Bank in respect of such amount.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the applicable Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the applicable Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(c)    (i)  A U.S. Borrower may request a Competitive Bid Borrowing under this Section 2.02(c) by delivering to the Administrative Agent, by telex, facsimile or e‐mail, a notice of a Competitive Bid Borrowing (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (B) aggregate amount of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (C) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Advances, Interest Period, (D) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances, the maturity date for repayment of each Fixed Rate Advance to be made as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing (which maturity date may not be earlier than the date occurring 14 days after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing or later than the earlier of (I) 180 days after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing and (II) the Termination Date), (E) interest payment date or dates relating thereto, (F) the proposed U.S. Borrower, and (G) other terms (if any) to be applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) (x) at least one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if the applicable U.S. Borrower shall specify in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing that the rates of interest to be offered by the Lenders shall be fixed rates per annum (the Advances comprising any such Competitive Bid Borrowing being referred to herein as “Fixed Rate Advances”) and (y) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if the applicable U.S. Borrower shall instead specify in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing that the Advances comprising such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be Floating Rate Advances.  Each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers except to the extent provided in Section 2.02(c)(iii).  The Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender of each request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing received by it from such U.S. Borrower by sending such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender a copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(ii)    Each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender may, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Competitive Bid Advances to the applicable U.S. Borrower as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (a “Competitive Bid”) at (A) the Competitive Bid Rate specified by such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender in its sole discretion in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances or (B) the rate or rates of interest computed in accordance with Section 2.07(a)(ii) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, by notifying the Administrative Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to such Borrower), (x) before 12:30 P.M.

If any U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender shall elect not to make a Competitive Bid, such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Administrative Agent by the other U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders, and such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, provided that the failure by any U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender to give such notice shall not cause such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender to be obligated to make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(iii)    The applicable U.S. Borrower shall, in turn, (A) before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances and (B) before 1:30 P.M. (New York City time) three Business Days before the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Advances, either:  (x) cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect, or (y) accept one or more of the Competitive Bids made by any U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender or U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders, in its sole discretion, by giving notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Competitive Bid Acceptance Notice”) of the amount of each Competitive Bid Advance (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount (subject to Section 2.01(d)), notified to such U.S. Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender for such Competitive Bid Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii)) to be made by each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining Competitive Bids made by U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders by giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect.  Such U.S. Borrower shall accept the Competitive Bids made by any U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender or U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders in order of the lowest to the highest Competitive Bid Rate offered by such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders.  If two or more U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders have offered the same Competitive Bid Rate, the amount to be borrowed with reference to such Competitive Bid Rate will be allocated among such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders in proportion to the amount that each such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender offered with reference to such Competitive Bid Rate.
(iv)    If the applicable U.S. Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to clause (x) of Section 2.02(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made.
(v)    If the applicable U.S. Borrower accepts one or more of the Competitive Bids made by any U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender or U.S. Dollar Revolving Lenders pursuant to clause (y) of Section 2.02(c)(iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender that has made a Competitive Bid, of the date and aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing and whether or not any Competitive Bid or Competitive Bids made by such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender have been accepted by such U.S. Borrower, (B) each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and (C) each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid

(New York City time) on the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence or any later time when such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender shall have received from the Administrative Agent (1) notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Competitive Bid Acceptance Notice and (2) notice pursuant to clause (C) of the preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing.  After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.03, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable U.S. Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account of such U.S. Borrower.  Promptly after each Competitive Bid Borrowing the Administrative Agent will notify each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender of the amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing, the consequent Competitive Bid Reduction and the dates upon which such Competitive Bid Reduction commenced and will terminate.
(vi)    The applicable U.S. Borrower’s Competitive Bid Acceptance Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.  In the case of any Competitive Bid Borrowing that the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrowers shall indemnify each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the date specified for such Competitive bid Borrowing in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.03, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender to fund the Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing when such Competitive Bid Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(vii)    Following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(d).
(viii)    Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.02(c), the U.S. Borrowers may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.02(c), repay or prepay pursuant to clause (ix) below, and reborrow under this Section 2.02(c), provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made within three Business Days of the date of any other Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(ix)    The U.S. Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender that has made a Competitive Bid Advance, on the maturity date of each Competitive Bid Advance (such maturity date being that specified by the applicable Borrower for repayment of such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing), the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance.  No U.S. Borrower shall have any right to prepay any principal amount of any Competitive Bid Advance unless, and then only on the terms, specified by the applicable U.S. Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing or as otherwise agreed by the U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender who made such Competitive Bid Advance (and, if applicable, subject to the payment of any amounts owed under Section 9.04(c)).
(x)    The applicable U.S. Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date

the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, (A) in the case of a Competitive Bid Advance consisting of Fixed Rate Advances, at the Competitive Bid Rate for such Competitive Bid Advance specified by the U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance in its Competitive Bid with respect thereto and (B) in the case of a Competitive Bid Advance consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, at the rate computed in accordance with Section 2.07(a)(ii), in each case, payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the applicable U.S. Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(a) or (f) or if the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have elected pursuant to Section 2.07(b) to charge default interest with respect to any other Event of Default, each applicable U.S. Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of unpaid principal of and interest on each Competitive Bid Advance owing to a U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender, payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable thereon, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Competitive Bid Advance hereunder.
(d)    Anything in subsection (a) or (c) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Borrower may select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for the initial Borrowing hereunder or for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(ii), 2.09 or 2.10, (ii) there may not be more than fifty (50) separate Interest Periods outstanding at any time, and (iii) there may not be more than five Competitive Bid Advances outstanding at any time.  If the Interest Periods of two or more Floating Rate Advances within a single Tranche end on the same date, those Floating Rate Advances will be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Floating Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period.
(e)    Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.  In the case of any Borrowing other than the Borrowing of a Base Rate Advance, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(f)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to (x) the date of any Borrowing consisting of Advances (other than Base Rate Advances or Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche, the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or the Yen Revolving Credit Tranche), (y) 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of any Borrowing consisting of Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche, the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or the Yen Revolving Credit Tranche or (z) 2:00 P.M.(New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and, the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 2.02(a), make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to any Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the higher of (A) the

63




interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Foreign Currencies and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of all other Advances.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.
(g)    The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
(h)    The Borrowers irrevocably and for value authorize each Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (at the option of such Lender) from time to time (i) to prepare reliquefication bills of exchange in relation to any Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Advance and (ii) to sign them as drawer or endorser in the name of and on behalf of any Borrower (provided that the relevant Borrower’s obligations as drawer or endorser under any such reliquefication bill is non‐recourse).  The total face amount of reliquefication bills prepared by any such Lender and outstanding in relation to any such Advance must not at any time exceed (A) such Lender’s share of the principal amount of such Advance plus (B) the total interest on that share over the relevant Interest Period.  Reliquefication bills must mature on or before the last day of the relevant Interest Period.  Each such Lender may realize or deal with any reliquefication bill prepared by it as it thinks fit.  Each such Lender shall indemnify the Borrowers on demand against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by any Borrower by reason of it being a party to a reliquefication bill prepared by such Lender.  The immediately preceding sentence shall not affect any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document.  In particular, the obligations of the Borrowers to make payments under the Loan Documents are not in any way affected by any liability of any Lender, contingent or otherwise, under the indemnity in this Section 2.02(h).  If a reliquefication bill prepared by any such Lender is presented to a Borrower and such Borrower discharges it by payment, the amount of that payment will be deemed to have been applied against the moneys payable to such Lender hereunder.  Only an Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will have recourse to any Borrower under any reliquefication bill.
(i)    All Competitive Bid Advances and all Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more U.S. Borrowers.  All Advances under the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Singapore Borrowers.  All Advances under the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Australia Borrowers.  All Advances under the Yen Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Yen Borrowers.  All Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Multicurrency Borrowers.  All Supplemental Tranche Advances shall be advanced to one or more Supplemental Borrowers that are Borrowers under the applicable Supplemental Tranche.  Each Borrower shall be liable for the Advances made to such Borrower only, provided that (x) if an Advance is made to more than one Borrower, all such Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to such Advance and (y) nothing in this sentence shall impair or limit the liability or obligations of the Operating Partnership in its capacity as a Guarantor hereunder.
(j)    Each Lender may, at its option, make any Advance available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided, however, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) nothing in this Section 2.02(j) shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to

SECTION 2.03.    Letters of Credit.  (a)  Request for Issuance.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than (w) 12:00 P.M.

In the case of (1) above, the Administrative Agent shall give to the applicable Issuing Bank and each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex, facsimile or e‐mail or by means of the Platform.  In the case of (2) above, the applicable Issuing Bank shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex, facsimile or e‐mail or by means of the Platform.  Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be in writing by telex, facsimile or e‐mail, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) currency of such Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Facility pursuant to which such Letter of Credit shall be issued, (iii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (v) the proposed Borrower, (vi) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (vii) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the applicable Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”).  Any application for a Letter of Credit may be made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor.  If (y) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (z) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the applicable Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Borrower in connection with such issuance.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.  All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(a).
(b)    Letter of Credit Reports.  Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to each relevant Lender and the Operating Partnership on the last Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, each relevant Lender and the Operating Partnership on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(c)    Drawing; Letter of Credit Participations.  The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall, in the case of (x) each such payment under the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft and (y) each such payment under any other Letter of Credit Facility be a Floating Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft.  Upon written demand by (x) the Administrative Agent, with a copy of such demand to the applicable Issuing Bank or (y) any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a Multicurrency Letter of Credit only), each Yen Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a Yen Letter of Credit only), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit only), each Australian Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to an

Australian Letter of Credit only) and each Singapore Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a Singapore Letter of Credit only) (in each case, an “Applicable Lender”) shall, as applicable, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such Applicable Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Applicable Lender.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank.  The Borrowers hereby agree to each such sale and assignment.  Each Applicable Lender agrees to purchase its Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance (i) on the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the applicable Issuing Bank which made such Advance with respect to the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline on such Business Day, (ii) no later than three Business Days after the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the applicable Issuing Bank in the case of the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, the Yen Letter of Credit Facility, the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility or the Australian Letter of Credit Facility, provided that, in each case, notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline, or (iii) the first Business Day next succeeding the funding date set forth in the applicable notice of demand if such notice of such demand is given after any applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline.  Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Applicable Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank represents and warrants to such Applicable Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party.  If and to the extent that any Applicable Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, equal to (x) the Federal Funds Rate with respect to the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility and (y) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in the case of all other Letter of Credit Facilities, in each case for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable.  If such Applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Applicable Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(d)    Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances.  The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.
(e)    Defaulting Lenders.  If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding that such Defaulting Lender may be required to fund on hereunder, the applicable Issuing Bank may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21), by notice to the Borrowers and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion to protect such Issuing Bank against the risk of non‐payment by such Defaulting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes,

66




and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each Issuing Bank that has issued a Letter of Credit upon which such Defaulting Lender may be required to fund on hereunder is hereby authorized by the Borrowers (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a) in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) reimburse an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, and/or (ii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit.
(f)    Calculation Date; Revaluation.  Without limiting the effect of the last sentence of Section 2.06(b)(i), for the purposes of monitoring Facility Exposure under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, on each Calculation Date the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Primary Currency Equivalent of the face value of outstanding Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees issued under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, the stated amounts of which are denominated in a currency other than Dollars in connection with Letters of Credit or Bank Guarantees issued under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility.
(g)    ISP or UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices (the “ISP”) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance (“UCP”, and each of the UCP and the ISP, an “ICC Rule”), shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.  Each Issuing Bank’s privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein and pursuant to applicable laws governing the Letter of Credit.  The UCP and the ISP (or such later revision of either) shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of general banking usage with respect to the subject matter thereof.
(h)    Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(i)    Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
SECTION 2.04.    Repayment of Advances; Reimbursements.  (a)  Revolving Credit Advances.  The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding.
(b)    Swing Line Advances.  The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of (i) each Swing Line Bank and (ii) each other Lender that has made a Swing Line Advance by purchase from the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(b), the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made by each of them on or before the earlier of the maturity date specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the fourteenth Business Day after the requested date of such Swing Line Borrowing) and the Termination Date.  Any Swing Line Advance may be repaid in whole or in part on same‐day notice to the Administrative Agent received by 1:00 P.M. (local time) on the date of such payment and, if such notice is given the Borrowers shall pay the applicable principal

(c)    Letter of Credit Advances.  (i)  The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank and each other Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the Business Day immediately succeeding the day on which such Letter of Credit Advance was made the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers may, at their election, repay Letter of Credit Advances with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Advances that are advanced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)    The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (and the obligations of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect thereto) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:
(A)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, guaranty or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any amendments, supplements and waivers (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);
(B)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any Person that guarantees any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;
(C)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set‐off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(D)    any draft, certificate, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv)    The Borrowers assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit.  Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:  (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrowers shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrowers that the Borrowers prove were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(c)    Each Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Tranche of which such Letter of Credit Facility is a Subfacility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of such Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments related to such Tranche after giving effect to such reduction of such Tranche, provided that a Letter of Credit Facility shall not be reduced below an amount equal to the aggregate unused amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under such Letter of Credit Facility at any time.
(d)    Each Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Tranche of which such Swing Line Facility is a Subfacility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of such Swing Line Facility exceeds the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments related to such Tranche and if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Swing Line Facility, the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Swing Line Facility, the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank or Lenders, as applicable.  On the earlier to occur of the (A) Termination Date, (B) the date on which funds are no longer required to be maintained in the L/C Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i) or (b)(ii), as applicable, and (C) the expiration or other termination of any Letters of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account without any drawings thereon, then, in each case, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any remaining funds on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account (together with any interest earned thereon) shall be returned to the Borrowers.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(b), no Borrower hereunder shall in any capacity and in no event be obliged to make any payment of interest or any other amount payable to any Lender hereunder in excess of any amount or rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in the receipt by any Lender, or any agreement by any Lender to receive, “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as each such term is defined in and construed under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)).
(c)    Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrowers and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above.

(A)    the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances,
(B)    each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and, with respect to any Eurocurrency 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
72




Rate Advances under any other Tranche, after the last day of the then existing Interest Period, the interest rate on each Lender’s share of such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of (i) the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by such Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of the applicable Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to such Lender of funding its share of such Advance from whatever source it may reasonably select plus (ii) the Applicable Margin, and
(C)    the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist with respect to such Eurocurrency Rate Advances.
(e)    Market Disruption Events.  If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to an Advance for any Interest Period for which the Floating Rate was to have been based on SOR, BBR, HIBOR, CDOR or the Screen Rate, then the interest rate on each Lender’s share of such Advance for such Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of (i) the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by such Lender as soon as practicable and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days before interest is due to be paid in respect of such Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to such Lender of funding its share of such Advance from whatever source it may reasonably select plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.  If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or any Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent and such Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.  Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche and the Borrowers, be binding on all parties.
(f)    Additional Reserve Requirements.  Each applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Floating Rate Advance equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent fraud or manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the Floating Rate Advances, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent fraud or manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance, provided that each applicable Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 15 days after receipt of such notice.  Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.07(f) shall be without duplication of any other component of interest payable by the Borrowers hereunder.
SECTION 2.08.    Fees.  (a)  Facility Fees.  With respect to each Tranche, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche a facility fee (each, a “Facility Fee”) in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche equal to the Applicable Margin for Facility Fees times the actual daily amount of the Commitments for such Tranche regardless of usage (or, if the Commitments for such Tranche have terminated, on the Facility Exposure for such Tranche).  Each Facility Fee shall accrue at all times from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender, from the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date with respect to the initial Lenders holding a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
73




respect to any Supplemental Tranche and from the Transfer Date applicable to the Assignment and Acceptance or the effective date specified in the Lender Accession Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which it became a Lender under the applicable Tranche in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date.  Each Facility Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).  Each Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.
(b)    Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.  (i)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in a Letter of Credit Facility a commission in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche, payable in arrears, (A) quarterly on the last day of each December, March, June and September, commencing March 31, 2016, (B) on the earliest to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to such Letter of Credit Facility, and (C) on the Termination Date, on such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter of all Letters of Credit outstanding under such Letter of Credit Facility from time to time at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Floating Rate Advances in effect from time to time.
(ii)    The Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 0.125% of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, payable on such date and (B) such other customary commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank shall agree.
(c)    Administrative Agent’s Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the fees, in the amounts and on the dates, set forth in the Fee Letter and such other fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
(d)    Extension Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on each Extension Date, for the account of each Lender, a Facility extension fee, in an amount equal to 0.075% of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then outstanding (whether funded or unfunded).
(e)    Defaulting Lenders and Fees.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any  fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.08(a), (b) or (d) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non‐Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that to the extent that all or a portion of the Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non‐Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21(a), such fees (other than the fee payable pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non‐Defaulting Lenders in the applicable Tranche, pro rata from the date of such reallocation in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(f)    Japan Usury Savings.  With respect to a Borrower that is doing business in Japan (excluding a TMK or an entity prescribed in Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Act on Specified Commitment Line Contract of Japan (Law No.4 of 1999, as amended)), such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the fees set forth in this Section 2.08 to the extent (but only to the extent) such payment would violate any applicable usury laws of Japan.

(New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(d), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(d) and each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such Tranche.  Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.
(b)    Mandatory.  (iii)  On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Advances shall automatically as of the last day of the then applicable Interest Period Convert into Base Rate Advances.
(iv)    If the Borrowers shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any (A) Eurocurrency Rate Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the affected Lenders, whereupon each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, or (B) Floating Rate Advance not described in clause (A) above, an Interest Period of one month shall apply.
(v)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, if the applicable Tranche Required Lenders so request in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, (A) each Floating Rate Advance in respect of such Tranche will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (B) the obligation of the applicable Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Floating Rate Advances shall be suspended.
SECTION 2.10.    Increased Costs, Etc.  (a)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, administration or application of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement there shall be (i) a reduction in the rate of return from a Tranche or on a Lender Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital, (ii) any additional or increased cost or (iii) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Loan Document, which is incurred or suffered by any Lender Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Lender Party agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Floating Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances or funding or performing its obligations under any Loan Document or Letter of Credit (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost or resulting from (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), (B) changes in the rate or basis of taxation of net income or gross income by the United States, by any jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (C) any

Tax attributable to any Lender Party’s failure or inability (other than any inability as a result of a change in law) to comply with Section 2.12(g), (D) any Taxes required to be withheld as a result of a direction or notice under section 260‐5 of the Australian Tax Act or section 255 of the Australian Tax Act, (E) any Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (F) the willful breach by the relevant Lender Party or any of its Affiliates of any law or regulation or the terms of any Loan Document), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender Party and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error.
(b)    If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  For purposes of this Section 2.10, (i) the Dodd‐Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines, and directives in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted after the date of this Agreement.
(c)    If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the Tranche Required Lenders for the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.  If, with respect to any Floating Rate Advances not described in the first sentence of this Section 2.10(c), the Tranche Required Lenders for any Tranche other than the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche notify the Administrative Agent that the Floating Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Floating Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make such Floating Rate

76




Advances shall be suspended and (y) with respect to any Floating Rate Advances that are then outstanding under any Tranche (other than the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche), such Floating Rate Advances shall thereafter bear interest at an interest rate on each Lender’s share of such Floating Rate Advance at the rate per annum which is the sum of (1) the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by such Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of the applicable Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to such Lender of funding its share of such Floating Rate Advance from whatever source it may reasonably select plus (2) the Applicable Margin, in each case until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Floating Rate Advances or to fund or continue to fund or maintain Floating Rate Advances in any currency hereunder or if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful for any Lender to purchase or sell or to take deposits of, any applicable currency in the Relevant Interbank Market, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance by such Lender made pursuant to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of such Lenders to make, continue or Convert Advances into, Floating Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Floating Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Floating Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  The conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance of any Lender to a Base Rate Advance or the suspension of any obligation of any Lender to make any Floating Rate Advance pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.10(d) shall not affect the obligation of any other Lender to continue to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender Party, notifies the Operating Partnership of the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180‐day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(f)    If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), (iii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(d), (iv) any Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or (v) any amount payable to any Lender by a French Borrower is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated) treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for that Borrower by reason of that amount being (A) paid or accrued to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non‐Cooperative Jurisdiction, or (B) paid to an account opened in the name of or

for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non‐Cooperative Jurisdiction (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent at any time thereafter to cause such Affected Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to a Replacement Lender, provided that the proposed assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Affected Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Affected Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07; provided, however, the Affected Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes an Affected Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrowers given in accordance with this Section 2.10(f) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 2.10(f).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Affected Lender by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by the Affected Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Operating Partnership to require such assignment cease to apply.
SECTION 2.11.    Payments and Computations.  (a)  The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances under the (w) U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), (x) Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time), (y) Yen Revolving Credit Tranche not later than 11:00 A.M. (Tokyo time) or (z) any other Tranche not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time), in each case, on the day when due, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set‐off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13), to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each payment shall be made by the Borrowers in the currency of the applicable Advance to which the applicable payment relates, except to the extent required otherwise hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to accept a payment that is not in the correct currency.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by any Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions and (ii) if such payment by any Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon any Acceding Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18, a Reallocation pursuant to Section 2.19 or making a Supplemental Tranche Commitment pursuant to Section 2.20 and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Lender Accession Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the applicable Transfer Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder in accordance with such Lender assignee’s Standing Payment Instructions, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.  If the Administrative Agent has notified 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
78




the parties to any Assignment and Acceptance that the Administrative Agent is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to the assignor and assignee Lenders, then in respect of any assignment pursuant to Section 9.07, the effective date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period (A) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant assigned interest in the Facility that are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favor of the assignor Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (the “Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due and payable to the assignor Lender without further interest accruing on them on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six calendar months, on the next of the dates which falls at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period) and (B) the rights assigned or transferred by the assignor Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:  (1) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the assignor Lender and (2) the amount payable to the assignee Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Section ‎2.11(a), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall ensure that its accounts at such office or bank at which and from which payments to be made under this Agreement to Lenders that are funding the Advances to a French Borrower are not located in a country which is qualified as a Non‐Cooperative Jurisdiction.
(c)    All computations of interest (i) based on the Base Rate and (ii) on Advances denominated in Sterling, Australian Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Canadian Dollars and any other Committed Foreign Currency (subject to clause (A) below) where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market is to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, shall, in each case, be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  All computations of interest (A) on Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche, other than Advances denominated in Sterling and (B) based on the Eurocurrency Rate (subject to clauses (ii) and (A) above) or the Federal Funds Rate, on Advances denominated in Dollars, Yen or any other Committed Foreign Currency where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market is to compute interest on the basis of a year of 360 days and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable.  For the purpose of complying with the Interest Act (Canada), it is expressly agreed that with respect to Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars only (i) where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based on a 360 or 365 day period, the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as the case may be) divided by 360 or 365 as relevant and (ii) the annual rates of interest to which the rates determined in accordance with the provisions hereof on the basis of a period of calculation less than a year are equivalent, are the rates so determined (x) multiplied by the actual number of days in the one (1) year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation, and (y) divided by the number of days in the period of calculation.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d)    Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Floating Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party.  If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of all other Advances.
(f)    To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by any Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Committed Foreign Currency or from Dollars to a Committed Foreign Currency or from a Committed Foreign Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, provided that the Borrowers and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrowers or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies effected pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.11(f) save to the extent that it is found in a final non‐appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, cost or expense resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
(g)    Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties in the order of priority set forth below in this Section 2.11(g).  Payments to the Lenders shall be in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Advances denominated in Committed Foreign Currencies will, at any time during the continuance of such Event of Default that the Administrative Agent determines it necessary or desirable to calculate the pro rata share of the Lenders on a Facility‐wide basis, be converted on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of Dollars solely for the purposes of making any allocations required under this Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.13(b).  The order of priority shall be as follows:
(i)    first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent on such date;
(ii)    second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Issuing Banks (solely in their respective capacities as

such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Banks on such date;
(iii)    third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 9.04 and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;
(iv)    fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(v)    fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a), (b)(i) and (d) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facility on such date;
(vi)    sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrowers under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(vii)    seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(viii)    eighth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances and any reimbursement obligations that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal and reimbursement obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, and to deposit into the L/C Cash Collateral Account any contingent reimbursement obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent required by Section 6.02;
(ix)    ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and
(x)    tenth, the remainder, if any, to the Borrowers for their own account.
SECTION 2.12.    Taxes  (a)  Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any governmental authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding (i) in the case of each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent, Taxes that are imposed on or measured by its net income by the United States (including branch profits Taxes or alternative minimum Tax) and Taxes that are imposed on or measured by its net income (and franchise or other similar Taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof or, other than solely as a result of making Advances hereunder, 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
81




the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which it is otherwise conducting business or in which it is treated as resident for Tax purposes and, in the case of each Lender Party, Taxes that are imposed on or measured by its net income (and franchise or other similar Taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) any withholding Tax imposed on (x) amounts payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent, for its own account, at the time the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent or (y) amounts payable to or for the account of any Lender Party, with respect to any Tranche, at the time such Lender Party initially acquires an interest in a Loan in such Tranche (other than pursuant to a transfer of rights and obligations under Section 2.10(f)) or such Lender Party designates a new Applicable Lending Office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(e), additional amounts with respect to such Tax were payable to the Administrative Agent’s assignor immediately before the Administrative Agent became the Administrative Agent or to such Lender Party’s assignor immediately before such Lender Party, with respect to any Tranche, initially acquired an interest in a Loan in such Tranche or to such Lender Party immediately before it changed its Applicable Lending Office, (iii) any Tax attributable to any Lender Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s failure or inability (other than any inability as a result of a change in law) to comply with Section 2.12(g), (iv) any Taxes (other than Australian interest withholding Tax in respect of an amount of interest payable under this Agreement) required to be withheld as a result of a direction or notice under section 260‐5 of the Australian Tax Act or section 255 of the Australian Tax Act, and (v) any Tax imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable), including any current or future implementing Treasury Regulations and administrative pronouncements thereunder and any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, and any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Internal Revenue Code and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules, or official administrative practices adopted pursuant to such intergovernmental agreement (collectively, “FATCA”) (all such excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being referred to as “Excluded Taxes”, and all Taxes other than Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”).  If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (i) subject to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.12(c) below, to the extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    A payment shall not be increased under subsection (a) above by reason of a UK Tax Deduction, if on the date on which the payment falls due:
(i)    the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender Party without a UK Tax Deduction if the Lender Party had been a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender Party is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender Party under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(ii)    the relevant Lender Party is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of subsection (ii) of the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” and:  (A) an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the UK ITA 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement

which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the UK Borrower making the payment a certified copy of that Direction; and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or
(iii)    the relevant Lender Party is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of subsection (ii) of the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” and:  (A) the relevant Lender Party has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower; and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender Party without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled the UK Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the UK ITA; or
(iv)    the relevant Lender Party is a UK Treaty Lender and the UK Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender Party without the UK Tax Deduction had that Lender Party complied with its obligations under subsections (f)(i) and (iv) (as applicable) below.
(c)    A payment shall not be increased under Section 2.12(a) by reason of a French Tax Deduction, if on the date on which the payment falls due:
(i)    the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a French Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a French Qualifying Lender, but on the date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a French Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation agreement, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(ii)    the relevant Lender is a French Treaty Lender and the Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the French Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 2.12(g),
provided that the exclusion for changes after the date a Lender became a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) shall not apply in respect of any French Tax Deduction on a payment made to a Lender if such French Tax Deduction is imposed solely because this payment is made to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non‐Cooperative Jurisdiction.
(d)    In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies imposed by any governmental authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, except any Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’enregistrement) applicable pursuant to the voluntary registration by any Lender of any Loan Documents, which shall mean that such registration is (i) not mandatory and (ii) not required to maintain, defend or preserve the rights of the relevant Lenders under the relevant Loan Documents (“Other Taxes”).  All payments to be made by the Loan Parties under or in connection with the Loan Documents have been calculated without regard to Indirect Tax.  If all or part of any such payment is the consideration for a taxable supply or otherwise chargeable with Indirect Tax and if the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party is liable to pay such Indirect Tax to the relevant tax authorities then, when the applicable Loan Party makes the payment (i) it must pay to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender Party, as the case may be, an additional amount equal to that payment (or part) multiplied by the appropriate rate of Indirect Tax and (ii) the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, shall promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to such 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
83




Indirect Tax; provided, however, that with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche and the Subfacilities thereunder and the Yen Revolving Credit Tranche and the Subfacilities thereunder, the applicable Lender Party and not the Administrative Agent shall provide any such tax invoices to the applicable Loan Party.  Where a Loan Document requires a Loan Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, as applicable, for any costs or expenses, such Loan Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, an amount equal to any Indirect Tax incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, in respect of the costs or expenses, save to the extent that that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, is entitled to repayment or credit in respect of the Indirect Tax.  The Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, will promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax; provided, however, that with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche and the Subfacilities thereunder and the Yen Revolving Credit Tranche and the Subfacilities thereunder, the applicable Lender Party and not the Administrative Agent shall provide any such tax invoices to the applicable Loan Party.
(e)    Without duplication of Sections 2.12(a) or 2.12(d) and subject to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.12(c), the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12 in respect of any penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent such penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as found in a final, non‐appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f)    As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to any governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)    (i)  Any Lender Party (which, for purposes of this Section 2.12(g) shall include the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding and each UK Treaty Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to which such Treaty Lender is entitled shall co‐operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without a UK Tax Deduction.  In addition, any Lender Party, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such entity is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements with respect to such Lender Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any form or document referred to in this subsection (g) (other than any form or document referred to in subsection (g)(ii)(A), (B) or (D) of this Section 2.12) requires the disclosure of information that the applicable Lender Party reasonably considers to be

84




confidential, such Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (A) any Lender Party that is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender Party becomes a Lender Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐9 certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) each Lender Party that is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party, and on the Transfer Date with respect to the Assignment and Acceptance or the date of the Lender Accession Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a statement in a form agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of United States Taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E or successor and related applicable form; or (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender that cannot comply with the requirements of clause (1) hereof, two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or W‐8BEN‐E (claiming an exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax under an applicable treaty) or its successor form, Form W‐8ECI (claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax as effectively connected income) or its successor form, or Form W‐8IMY (together with any supporting documentation) or its successor form, and related applicable forms, as the case may be; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender Party under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender Party has complied with such Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for the purposes of this subsection (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)    Each Lender Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes.
(iv)    A UK Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm in writing its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to any UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, having done so, that Lender Party shall be under no obligation pursuant to subsection (i) above in respect of an Advance to any such UK Borrower.  If a UK Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with this subsection (iv) and:  (a) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender Party has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender Party; or (b) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender Party has made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing but (A) that UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or (B) HM Revenue & Customs have not given the UK Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender Party without a UK Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing, and in each case, the UK Borrower has notified that Lender Party in writing, that Lender Party and the UK Borrower shall co‐operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.
(v)    If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with subsection (iv) above, no UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender Party’s Loan(s) unless that Lender Party otherwise agrees.
(vi)    A UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that UK Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant UK Treaty Lender.
(vii)    A UK Qualifying Non‐Bank Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement gives a UK Tax Confirmation to any UK Borrower by entering into this Agreement.  A UK Qualifying Non‐Bank Lender shall promptly notify any UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation.
(viii)    Each Lender Party in respect of a UK Borrower which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate in the Assignment and Acceptance, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Borrower, which of the following categories it falls in:  (A) not a UK Qualifying Lender; (B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or (C) a UK Treaty Lender.  If a Lender Party fails to indicate its status in accordance with this subsection (viii) then such Lender Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Borrower) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform each UK Borrower).
(ix)    Each Lender Party which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the transfer agreement which it executes on becoming a party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, which of the following categories it falls in:  (A) not a French Qualifying Lender; (B) a French Qualifying Lender (other than a French Treaty Lender); or (C) a French Treaty Lender.  If such new Lender Party fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.12(g)(ix) then such new Lender Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it is not a French Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the

86




Operating Partnership).  For the avoidance of doubt, a transfer agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender Party to comply with this Section 2.12(g)(ix).
(h)    Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, (x) be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party or (y) subject such Lender Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense.  If any amount payable under this Agreement by a French Borrower becomes not deductible from that Borrower’s taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Lender Party incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non‐Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender Party in a financial institution situated in a Non‐Cooperative Jurisdiction, then such Lender Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate such issues including by designating a different Lending Office for each affected Loan if such designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.
(i)    If any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by any Borrower or for which the Borrowers have indemnified any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any reasonable expenses incurred by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers as soon as practicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrowers shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall have any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by the Borrowers.
(j)    To the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, the Administrative Agent shall (i) act as the withholding agent solely with respect to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche contemplated by the Loan Documents, taking into account that each of the Borrowers (other than the Operating Partnership, the Initial Multicurrency Borrower 4 and the Initial Singapore Borrower 2) as of the date hereof is intended to be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Operating Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) prepare and file (on behalf of the Borrowers), and furnish to the applicable Lender Parties, any required Internal Revenue Service Form 1042‐S with respect to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent (including, for this purpose, the Persons included in this Section 2.12(j)) shall not act as withholding agent (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) with respect to any Tranche, provided, however, that if in the future, the Administrative Agent or an affiliate of the Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes administers another Tranche, the Administrative Agent or such affiliate shall (i) act as withholding agent (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) with respect to such Tranche as required by law and (ii) prepare and file (on behalf of the Borrowers) and furnish to the applicable Lender Parties any required Internal Revenue Service Form 1042‐S with respect to such Tranche.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers further agree to mutually cooperate and furnish or cause to be furnished upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax returns and complying with all Tax withholding and information reporting requirements.  With respect to each Tranche and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide the Borrowers information regarding the interest, principal, fees or other amounts payable to each Person pursuant to the Loan Documents by January 31 of each year following the year during which such payment was made.

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
87




(k)    For purposes of this Section 2.12 (except for purposes of the first sentence of paragraph (i)), references to the Administrative Agent shall include any Affiliate or sub‐agent of the Administrative Agent, in each case performing any duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent.  For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.13.    Sharing of Payments, Etc.  (a)  Sharing Within Each Tranche.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(g), if, in connection with any particular Tranche, any Applicable Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set‐off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Applicable Lender Party with respect to such Tranche under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Applicable Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Applicable Lender Parties with respect to such Tranche under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all such Applicable Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all such Applicable Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Applicable Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Applicable Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Applicable Lender Parties hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Applicable Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of such Applicable Lender Parties at such time, such Applicable Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from such other Applicable Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Applicable Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Applicable Lender Party, such purchase from each other Applicable Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Applicable Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Applicable Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Applicable Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Applicable Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Applicable Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Applicable Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Applicable Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Applicable Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Applicable Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrowers agree that any Applicable Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Applicable Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set‐off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Applicable Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.
(b)    Pro Rata Sharing Following Event of Default.  Notwithstanding Section 2.13(a), following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and the notional conversion of all Advances denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency into Dollars pursuant to Section 2.11(g), subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(g), if any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
88




(i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrowers agree that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set‐off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.14.    Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely for the acquisition, development and redevelopment of Assets, for repayment of Debt, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries.  The Borrowers will not directly or knowingly indirectly use the Letters of Credit or the proceeds of the Advances, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person such extensions of credit or proceeds, (A) to fund any activities or businesses of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions, or (B) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Facility, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise) or any Anti‐Corruption Laws.
SECTION 2.15.    Evidence of Debt.  (a)  Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder.  The Borrowers agree that upon notice by any Lender Party to any Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the applicable Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender Party.  All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Note shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
(b)    The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) may include a control account and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party.  In each account with respect to each Lender Party (including the control account and subsidiary account, if applicable) there shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
89




and Lender Accession Agreement delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.
(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Advances will be treated as in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code).
SECTION 2.16.    Extension of Termination Date.  The Borrowers may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date, a six‐month extension of the Termination Date with respect to the Commitments then outstanding and (ii) thereafter, an additional six‐month extension provided at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date (as extended pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence) (each, an “Extension Request”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Extension Request and the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date (as defined below), be extended for an additional six‐month period, provided that, on such Extension Date (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.08(d) and (b) the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the applicable Extension Date, stating that:  (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Extension Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate in all material respects on and as of such earlier date)), and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension.  “Extension Date” means, in the case of each extension option, the first date after the delivery by the Borrowers of the related Extension Request that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied.  In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on the Termination Date as so extended.  As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Termination Date” shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended.
SECTION 2.17.    Cash Collateral Account.  (a)  Grant of Security.  The Borrowers hereby pledge to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, the Borrowers’ right, title and interest in and to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all (i) funds and financial assets from time to time credited thereto (including, without limitation, all Cash Equivalents), all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds and financial assets, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C Cash Collateral Account, (ii) and all promissory notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for or on behalf of the Borrowers, in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral and (iii) all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement

received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral, in each of the cases set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising other than assets located or deemed to be located in Luxembourg (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “L/C Account Collateral”); provided, however, that for so long as a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from pledging its assets for the benefit of another Person, any pledge from a Borrower that is a TMK shall solely secure its own obligations hereunder and not the obligation of any other Borrower.
(b)    Maintaining the L/C Account Collateral.  So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:
(x)    the Borrowers will maintain all L/C Account Collateral only with the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent; and
(xi)    the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to direct the disposition of funds with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and it shall be a term and condition of such L/C Cash Collateral Account that, except as otherwise provided herein, notwithstanding any term or condition to the contrary in any other agreement relating to the L/C Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be, that no amount (including, without limitation, interest on Cash Equivalents credited thereto) will be paid or released to or for the account of, or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Borrowers or any other Person from the L/C Cash Collateral Account; and
(xii)    the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders and shall at the request of the Required Lenders), at any time and without notice to, or consent from, the Borrowers, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the L/C Account Collateral to satisfy the Borrowers’ Obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(c)    Investing of Amounts in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.  The Administrative Agent will, from time to time invest (i)(A) amounts received with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account as the Borrowers may select and the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, may approve in its reasonable discretion, and (B) interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (i)(A) above, and (ii) reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner.  Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account.
(d)    Release of Amounts.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent will pay and release to any Borrower or at its order or, at the request of any Borrower, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.
(e)    Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies available pursuant to Article VI hereof and under the other Loan Documents, (i) the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the L/C Account Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected L/C Account Collateral), and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrowers, except as

required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set‐off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents against any funds held with respect to the L/C Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.
SECTION 2.18.    Increase in the Aggregate Commitments.  (a)  The Borrowers may, at any time by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by not less than the Increase Minimum in the aggregate (each such proposed increase, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments (including the Equivalent thereof in Dollars with respect to any Commitments denominated in currencies other than Dollars) on any Increase Date exceed $2,500,000,000, (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the conditions set forth in Sections 3.01(a)(i) and 3.02 shall be satisfied and (iii) the Borrowers’ notice to the Administrative Agent shall indicate the proposed allocation of each such Commitment Increase among the affected Revolving Credit Commitments (each, an “Apportioned Commitment Increase”).
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees as are designated by the Borrowers of each request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amounts of the Commitment Increase and each Apportioned Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders and such Eligible Assignees wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments or to establish their Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (the “Commitment Date”).  Each Lender and Eligible Assignee that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase or establish, as applicable, each applicable Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (each, an “Increased Commitment Amount”).  If the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase (or establish, as applicable) the amount of their respective applicable Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Apportioned Commitment Increase relating to such Revolving Credit Commitments, the requested Apportioned Commitment Increase shall be allocated to each Lender and Eligible Assignee willing to participate therein in such a manner as is agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.  For avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s sole right to approve or consent to any Commitment Increase shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment Increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.18(b).
(c)    Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders and Eligible Assignees are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of the Commitment Increase Minimum or an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in a Committed Foreign Currency), or, if less than the Commitment Increase Minimum, the amount of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders or such Eligible Assignees as of the applicable Commitment Date.
(d)    On each Increase Date, (x) each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(b) (an “Acceding Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and such Acceding Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (y) the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
92




Section 2.18(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:
(i)    an accession agreement from each Acceding Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Lender Accession Agreement”), duly executed by such Acceding Lender, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower; and
(ii)    confirmation from each Increasing Lender (acknowledged by the Operating Partnership on behalf of the Loan Parties) of the increase in the amount of its applicable Revolving Credit Commitment (and the allocation thereof among the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments that are increasing) in a writing satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and the Administrative Agent.
On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Acceding Lender) and the Borrowers, on or before the Increase Agent Notice Deadline, by telex, e‐mail or facsimile, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Acceding Lender on such date.
(e)    On the Increase Date, to the extent the Advances then outstanding and owed to any Lender under the Tranche subject to the Apportioned Commitment Increase immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase shall be less than such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders under such Tranche (each such Lender, including any Acceding Lender, an “Increase Purchasing Lender”), then such Increase Purchasing Lender, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender under the applicable Tranche that is not an Increase Purchasing Lender (an “Increase Selling Lender”) in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender under the applicable Tranche shall equal such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase on the Increase Date) of all Advances then outstanding and owed to all Lenders under such Tranche.  The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Increase Purchasing Lender and received by each Increase Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Increase Date.  Each Increase Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the applicable Increase Funding Deadline on the Increase Date or the Business Day immediately prior to the Increase Date, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Increase Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.
(f)    If in connection with the transactions described in this Section 2.18 any Lender shall incur any losses, costs or expenses of the type described in Section 9.04(c), then the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for such losses, costs or expenses reasonably incurred.
SECTION 2.19.    Reallocation of Commitments.  (a)  Without limitation of the Borrowers’ rights under Section 2.18 or Section 2.20, the Borrowers may, at any time (but not more often than once in any 30 day period), upon not less than seven calendar days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Reallocation Notice”), reallocate the aggregate amount of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments among the 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
93




Tranches (including, without limitation, a Supplemental Tranche that is being created contemporaneously with the applicable Reallocation in accordance with Section 2.20) (each a “Reallocation”) by not less than the Reallocation Minimum to be effective as of a date (each a “Reallocation Date”) that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any Reallocation cause the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Tranche to be less than the lesser of (1) the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or (2) the portion of the Facility Exposure then allocable to such Tranche, (ii) on the Reallocation Date the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the Reallocation Date, stating that (x) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the Reallocation Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date)) and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Reallocation, (iii) immediately after giving effect to such Reallocation, in no event shall the aggregate principal amount (expressed in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche and including the Equivalent in such Primary Currency at such time of any amounts denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency other than such Primary Currency) of the Advances under any Tranche outstanding at such time plus the Available Amount (expressed in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche and including the Equivalent in such Primary Currency at such time of any amounts denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency other than such Primary Currency) of all outstanding Letters of Credit with respect to such Tranche at such time exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to such Tranche at such time.  The Reallocation Notice shall (x) specify (1) the proposed aggregate amount of such Reallocation (the “Total Reallocation Amount”), (2) the Tranche or Tranches being increased (each, an “Increasing Tranche”), (3) the Tranche or Tranches being decreased (each, a “Decreasing Tranche”), and (4) the proposed Reallocation Date and (y) contain a certification signed by a Responsible Officer of the Operating Partnership stating that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.19(a) have been satisfied or, as of the Reallocation Date, will be satisfied.
(b)    Upon receipt of any Reallocation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Reallocation Notice to each Issuing Bank and each affected Lender and notify each affected Lender of its proposed proportionate share of (i) the Decreasing Tranche, (ii) the Increasing Tranche, and (iii) the Total Reallocation Amount.  Such determinations shall be made by the Administrative Agent for each Lender within each Tranche based on the ratio of the Commitment of such Lender in respect of such Tranche to the total Commitments of all Lenders in respect of such Tranche, and (iv) the date by which Lenders (other than Approved Reallocation Lenders) with increasing Commitments, if any, resulting from such Reallocation must commit in writing to the increase in their respective Commitments (the “Reallocation Commitment Date”).  Each Lender (other than an Approved Reallocation Lender) that is willing to participate in such Commitment increase resulting from the Reallocation shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the Reallocation Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its applicable Commitment (an “Increased Commitment Amount”).  If any Lender (other than an Approved Reallocation Lender) in the Increasing Tranche shall fail to provide such notice within one Business Day prior to the Reallocation Commitment Date or shall decline, in whole or in part, to commit to its allocable share of the Commitment increase, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly offer such share to the Approved Reallocation Lenders in the Increasing Tranche and the other Lenders in the Increasing Tranche that are willing to participate in such Commitment increase on a pro rata basis.  Each Issuing Bank shall confirm in writing its approval of the Reallocation.  For avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s sole right to approve or consent to any Reallocation shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.19(b).

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
94




(c)    Promptly following the Reallocation Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any shortfall in the Commitments allocable to the Increasing Tranche.  In the event of any such shortfall, the provisions of Sections 2.18(c) and 2.18(d) shall apply, mutatis mutandis.
(d)    On the applicable Reallocation Date, (i) the Reallocation shall be effected by reallocating Unused Revolving Credit Commitments from the Decreasing Tranche(s) to the Increasing Tranche(s) on a dollar‐for‐dollar basis, and (ii) to the extent Advances then outstanding and owed to any applicable Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reallocation shall be less than such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Reallocation) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders in any affected Tranche (collectively, including any applicable Acceding Lender, the “Reallocation Purchasing Lenders”), in each case as applicable, then such Reallocation Purchasing Lenders, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender that is not a Reallocation Purchasing Lender (collectively, the “Reallocation Selling Lenders”), in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender shall equal such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation) of all Advances then outstanding in respect of the applicable Tranche.  The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Reallocation Purchasing Lender and received by each Reallocation Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Reallocation Date.  Each Reallocation Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the Reallocation Funding Deadline on the Reallocation Date or the Business Day immediately prior to the Reallocation Funding Deadline, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Reallocation Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Reallocation Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.
(e)    On the Reallocation Date, with respect to any Reallocation relating to a Tranche that has a Letter of Credit Facility Subfacility, the applicable Letter of Credit Commitments shall, to the extent possible and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.19(e), be reallocated among the applicable Letter of Credit Facilities in a manner consistent with the Reallocation of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that such reallocation of the Letter of Credit Commitments shall be made only to the extent that following the effectiveness thereof the sum of all Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding in respect of Letters of Credit under such Letter of Credit Facility plus the Available Amount of all such Letters of Credit shall not exceed the applicable Letter of Credit Commitment relating to such Letter of Credit Facility.
(f)    On the Reallocation Date, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver a replacement Note payable to each Lender requesting the same in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s respective Revolving Credit Commitment immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation.  Each Lender receiving a replacement Note shall promptly return to the applicable Borrower any previously issued Note for which such replacement Note was delivered in exchange.
(g)    On the Reallocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrowers, on or before the Reallocation Agent Notice Deadline, by facsimile, telex or e‐mail, of the occurrence of the Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date and shall promptly distribute to the Lenders and the Borrowers a copy of Schedule I hereto revised to reflect such Reallocation.  The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Lender on such Reallocation Date in accordance with Section 9.07.
(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 2.19(c), no Reallocation of any Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall cause an increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender and its Affiliates under all Tranches.

SECTION 2.20.    Supplemental Tranches.  The Borrowers may from time to time request (each such request, a “Supplemental Tranche Request”) certain Lenders and Eligible Assignees to provide one or more supplemental tranches for Advances in an amount of at least $25,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in a foreign currency) (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree) per tranche in a currency (a “Supplemental Currency”) that is not included as a Committed Foreign Currency at the time of such Supplemental Tranche Request (each such new tranche, a “Supplemental Tranche”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Primary Currency of any Supplemental Tranche may or may not be in Dollars.  Each Supplemental Tranche Request shall be made in the form of an addendum substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Supplemental Addendum”) and sent to the Administrative Agent and shall set forth (i) the proposed currency of such Supplemental Tranche, (ii) the proposed existing Borrower or Borrowers and/or the proposed Additional Borrower or Additional Borrowers that will be the proposed Supplemental Borrower with respect to the Supplemental Tranche, (iii) the proposed interest types and rates for such Supplemental Tranche, (iv) the other matters set forth on the form of Supplemental Addendum, and (v) any other specific terms of such Supplemental Tranche that the Borrowers deem necessary, provided that the maturity date of any Advance under any Supplemental Tranche shall not be later than the Termination Date.  As a condition precedent to the addition of a Supplemental Tranche to this Agreement:  (i) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to the applicable Supplemental Tranche must be able to make Advances in the Supplemental Currency in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; (ii) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to such Supplemental Tranche and the Administrative Agent must execute the requested Supplemental Addendum; (iii) each of the proposed Supplemental Borrowers under such Supplemental Tranche shall be an existing Borrower or an Additional Borrower with regard to such Supplemental Tranche and each such Supplemental Borrower and each other Loan Party shall execute the Supplemental Addendum, and (iv) any other documents or certificates that shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of the Supplemental Tranche shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 and this Section 2.20, each Supplemental Tranche shall be committed to by Lenders pursuant to (x) an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.18 or (y) Reallocations of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments to the applicable Supplemental Tranche pursuant to Section 2.19.  No Lender shall be obligated to make a Supplemental Tranche Commitment and a Lender may agree to do so in its sole discretion.  For avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s sole right to approve or consent to any Supplemental Tranche Commitment shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Supplemental Tranche Commitment in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.20.  If a Supplemental Tranche Request is accepted in accordance with this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower shall determine the effective date of such Supplemental Tranche (the “Supplemental Tranche Effective Date”), the final allocation of such Supplemental Tranche and any other terms of such Supplemental Tranche.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute a revised Schedule I to each Lender reflecting such new Supplemental Tranche and notify each Lender of the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date.  Promptly after a Supplemental Tranche Request, if the Administrative Agent cannot act as the funding agent therefor, the Operating Partnership shall, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint the proposed funding agent for the requested Supplemental Tranche.  Each such funding agent shall (A) execute the applicable Supplemental Addendum and (B) administer the applicable Supplemental Tranche and, in connection therewith, shall have authority consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Facility; provided, however, that no such funding agent shall be authorized to take any enforcement action unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent.  Each such funding agent shall entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04 to the same extent as the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.21.    Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility:

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
96




(iii)    the Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non‐Defaulting Lenders in the Tranche under which such Letter of Credit of Facility is a Subfacility pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in such Tranche, provided that (A) the sum of each Non‐Defaulting Lender’s total Facility Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non‐Defaulting Lender with respect to the applicable Tranche as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (b) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (c) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non‐Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non‐Defaulting Lender;
(iv)    to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Facility Exposure with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrowers will, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to protect the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties against the risk of non‐payment by such Defaulting Lender; and
(v)    any amount paid by a Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non‐interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.17(b)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:  first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Non‐Defaulting Lenders under this Agreement, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such amounts then due and payable to them; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank, to be held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any applicable Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Operating Partnership may request to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership, to be held in a non‐interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply any such amount in accordance with Section 2.11(g).
(b)    If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lender Parties in the same Tranche and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
97




be necessary to cause the Applicable Pro Rata Share of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non‐Defaulting Lender (and such Applicable Pro Rata Share of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing), provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non‐Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(i)    that such Guarantor is or, after giving the financial assistance, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or
(ii)    that the realizable value of such Guarantor’s assets, excluding the amount of any financial assistance in the form of a loan or in the form of assets pledged or encumbered to secure the Guaranty, after giving the financial assistance, would be less than the aggregate of such Guarantor’s liabilities and stated capital of all classes.

(dd)    France:  (i)  The liability of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of France (a “French Guarantor”) under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of Article L.225‐216 of the French Code de Commerce or/and would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of Article L.241‐3, L.242‐6 or L.244‐1 of the French Code de Commerce or any other law or regulation having the same effect, as interpreted by the French courts.
(ii)    The Guaranteed Obligations of each French Guarantor under this Article VII shall be limited at any time to an amount equal to the aggregate of all Advances to the extent directly or indirectly on‐lent to such French Guarantor under an intercompany loan agreement (each a “Qualified French Intercompany Loan”) and outstanding at the date a payment is made by such French Guarantor under this Article VII, it being specified that any payment made by such French Guarantor under this Article VII in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the applicable Qualified French Intercompany Loan (if any) due by such French Guarantor.
(iii)    It is acknowledged that such French Guarantor is not acting jointly and severally with the other Guarantors as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee given pursuant to this Article VII .
(ee)    Germany:  (i)  The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor incorporated or established and existing as a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) (each, a “German GmbH Guarantor”), shall be subject to the following limitations.  To the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations include liabilities of such German GmbH Guarantor’s direct or indirect shareholder(s) (each, an “Up‐stream Guaranty”) or its affiliated companies (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than Subsidiaries of that German GmbH Guarantor) (each, a “Cross‐stream Guaranty”) (save for any guarantee of funds to the extent they (x) are on‐lent and/or (y) replace or refinance funds which were on‐lent in each case to that German GmbH Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on‐lent is not returned), the guaranty created under this Article VII shall not be enforced against such German GmbH Guarantor at the time of the respective Payment Demand (as defined below) if and only to the extent that the German GmbH Guarantor demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the enforcement would have the effect of:  (1) causing such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets (as defined below) to be reduced below zero, or (2) if its Net Assets are already below zero, causing such amount to be further reduced, and thereby, in each case, affecting its assets required for the maintenance of its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) pursuant to Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, “GmbHG”), as applicable at the time of enforcement.  No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Article VII will prejudice the rights of the Administrative Agent to again enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII at a later time under this Agreement (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such further enforcement).  “Net Assets” means the applicable German GmbH Guarantor’s assets (section 266 sub‐section (2) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) (“HGB”)) minus the aggregate of its liabilities (section 266 sub‐section (3) B, C HGB (but disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, any provisions in respect of the guaranty created under this Article VII), accruals and deferred tax (section 266 subsection (3) D, E HGB), its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) (section 266 subsection (3)A(I) HGB) and any amounts not available for distribution according to Section 268 subsection (8) HGB.  The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
127




GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years, but for the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:  (x) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des gezeichneten Kapitals) after the date of this Agreement shall be deducted from the stated share capital unless permitted under the Loan Documents or approved by the Administrative Agent); (y) loans received by, and other contractual liabilities of, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor which are subordinated within the meaning of section 39 subsection 1 no. 5 or section 39 subsection 2 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (contractually or by law) shall be disregarded; and (z) loans and other contractual liabilities incurred by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other  Loan Document shall be disregarded.
(ii)    The limitations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) only apply if within 15 Business Days after receipt from the Administrative Agent of a notice stating that the Administrative Agent intends to demand payment under this Article VII against the applicable German GmbH Guarantor (each, a “Payment Demand”), the managing director(s) of such German GmbH Guarantor has (have) confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) why and to what extent the guarantee is an Up‐stream Guaranty or a Cross‐stream Guaranty and (B) which amount of such Up‐stream Guaranty or Cross‐stream Guaranty, as applicable, may not be enforced given that the applicable German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets are below zero or such enforcement would cause such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets to be reduced below zero, as a result of which such enforcement would lead to a violation of the capital maintenance rules as set out in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation an up‐to‐date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation of the amount of such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the “Management Determination”).  Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above, and the Administrative Agent may enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.  Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Management Determination, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent upon request within 30 Business Days an up‐to‐date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, prepared by an auditor of international reputation appointed by such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the “Auditor’s Determination”).  Such balance sheet and Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years.  Each Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the enforcement of this Article VII.  Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Auditor’s Determination, not cause the Net Assets of the German GmbH Guarantor to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.
(iii)    Each German GmbH Guarantor shall, within 60 Business Days after receipt of a Payment Demand, realize, unless not legally permitted to do so, any and all of its assets

128




(other than assets that are necessary for the business (betriebsnotwendig) of such German GmbH Guarantor) that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially (i.e., at least 20%) lower than the market value of the assets if, as a result of the enforcement of the guaranty created under this Article VII against such German GmbH Guarantor, its Net Assets would be reduced below zero.  After the expiry of such 60 Business Day period, such German GmbH Guarantor shall, within five Business Days, notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of the proceeds obtained from the realization and submit a statement setting forth a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account such proceeds.  Such calculation shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, be confirmed by the auditors referred to in Section 7.09(g)(ii) within a period of 20 Business Days following the applicable request.  If the Administrative Agent disagrees with any Auditor’s Determination or the new calculation referred to in this Section 7.09(g)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to pursue in court a claim under this Article VII in excess of the amounts paid or payable pursuant to the provisions above, for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that the relevant German GmbH Guarantor shall not be obligated to pay any such excessive amounts on demand.
(iv)    The restrictions set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) shall only apply if, to the extent and for so long as (A) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor has complied with its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.09(g)(ii) and (iii), (B) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor is not a party to a profit and loss sharing agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) and/or a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) (within the meaning of Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)) where such German GmbH Guarantor is the dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) and/or the entity being obliged to share its profits with the other party of such profit and loss sharing agreement other than to the extent that the existence of such a profit and loss sharing agreement and/or domination agreement does not result in the inapplicability of the relevant restrictions set forth in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and (C) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor does, at the time when a payment is made under this Article VII, not hold a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs‐ oder Rückgewähranspruch) (within the meaning of section 30 (1) sentence 2 GmbHG) against the relevant shareholder covering at least the relevant amount payable under this Article VII.
(v)    Sections 7.09(g)(i) through (iv) shall apply mutatis mutandis to a Guarantor organized and existing as a limited liability partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft – KG) with a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) as its sole general partner, provided that in such case and for the purpose of this Article VII, any reference to such Guarantor’s net assets (Reinvermögen) shall be deemed to be a reference to the net assets (Reinvermögen) of such Guarantor and its general partner (Komplementär) on a pro forma consolidated basis.
(ff)    Hong Kong:  The liability of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong under this Article VII and any indemnities, obligations or other liabilities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any liability or obligation which if incurred would constitute unlawful financial assistance pursuant to Section 275 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), except as may be exempted under Sections 277 to 282 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).

The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Borrower (other than its own Obligations arising due to the sums borrowed by such Borrower) having its registered office and/or central administration in Luxembourg shall not include any obligation which, if incurred, would constitute (i) a misuse of corporate assets or (ii) financial assistance.

(kk)    Spain:  The liability of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any obligations which would give rise to a breach of the provisions of Spanish law relating to restrictions on the provision of financial assistance (or refinancing of any debt incurred) in connection with the acquisition of shares in the relevant Spanish Loan Party and/or its controlling corporation (or, in the case of a Spanish Loan Party which is a “sociedad de responsabilidad limitada”, of a company in the same group as such Spanish obligor) as provided in article 150 of Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital) and article 143.2 of the Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), as applicable.  The obligations of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain under this Article VII shall be capable of enforcement in accordance with applicable law against all present and future assets of such Guarantor save to the extent that applicable Spanish law specifies otherwise.  For the purposes of this Article VII, a reference to the “group” of a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain shall mean such Guarantor and any other companies constituting a unity of decision.

The amount of freely disposable equity shall be determined by the statutory auditors of the relevant Swiss Guarantor on the basis of an audited annual or interim balance sheet of such Swiss Guarantor, to be provided to the Administrative Agent by the Swiss Guarantor promptly after having been requested to perform obligations limited pursuant to this Section 7.09(n) (together with a confirmation of the statutory auditors of such Swiss Guarantor that the determined amount of freely disposable equity complies with this Section 7.09(n) and the provisions of Swiss corporate law which are aimed at protecting the share capital and legal reserves).
(ii)    The limitation in clause (i) above shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time the Swiss Guarantor is required to perform under the Loan Documents.  Such limitation shall not free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the freely disposable equity, but merely postpone the performance date thereof until such times when the Swiss Guarantor has again freely disposable equity if and to the extent such freely disposable equity is available.
(iii)    Each Swiss Guarantor shall, and any holding company of a Swiss Guarantor which is a party to any Loan Document shall procure that each Swiss Guarantor will, take and cause to be taken all and any action, including, without limitation, (A) the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and (B) the obtaining of any confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time the respective Swiss Guarantor is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in order to allow a prompt payment of amounts owing by the Swiss Guarantor under the Loan Documents as well as the performance by the Swiss Guarantor of other obligations under the Loan Documents with a minimum of limitations.
(iv)    If the enforcement of the obligations of a Swiss Guarantor under the Loan Documents would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 7.09(n), the Swiss Guarantor affected shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale; however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).
(mm)    The Czech Republic:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of The Czech Republic or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of The Czech Republic shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would result in the violation of financial assistance provisions set out in Section 161e and 161f of the Czech Commercial Code.

an amount equivalent to (A) the value of all assets (aktywa) of the Polish Guarantor as such value is recorded in (1) its latest annual unconsolidated financial statements or, if they are more up‐to date (2) its latest interim unconsolidated financial statements, less (B) the value of all liabilities (zobowiązania) of the Polish Guarantor (whether due or pending maturity), as existing on the date that such Polish Guarantor becomes a Guarantor under this Facility and as such value is recorded in the financial statements referred to in item (1) above and used for the purpose of determination of the value of assets (aktywa) of the Polish Guarantor.  The term “liabilities” shall at all times exclude the Polish Guarantor’s liabilities under this Article VII, but shall include any other obligations (secured and unsecured) of the Polish Guarantor, including any other off‐balance sheet obligations of the Polish Guarantor.
(ii)    The limitation stipulated in Section 7.09(p)(i) above shall not apply if:
(A)    Polish law is amended in such a manner that (1) a debtor whose liabilities exceed the value of its assets is no longer deemed insolvent (niewypłacalny) as provided for in Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted for time to time) or that (2) the insolvency (niewypłacalność) of a debtor within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted from time to time) no longer gives grounds for an immediate declaration of its bankruptcy (ogłoszenie upadłości) or no longer obliges the representatives of the Polish Guarantor to immediately file for the declaration of its bankruptcy; or
(B)    the aggregate value of the liabilities of the Polish Guarantor (other than those under this Article VII) exceeds the aggregate value of the assets of such Polish Guarantor, thus resulting in the Polish Guarantor’s insolvency within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law.
(iii)    The obligations under this Article VII of any Polish Guarantor that is a limited liability company (“sp. z.o.o.”) shall be limited if (and only if) and to the extent required by the application of the provisions of the Polish Commercial Companies Code aimed at preservation of share capital.  In addition, the obligations under this Article VII of any Polish Guarantor that is a joint stock company (S.A.) shall be limited if (and only if) and to the extent required by the application of the provisions of Article 345 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code which prohibits unlawful financial assistance.
(oo)    The Kingdom of Sweden:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 7 (or its equivalent from time to time) of the Swedish Companies Act or unlawful distribution of assets  pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 2 (or its equivalent from time to time) of the Swedish Companies Act.
(pp)    The Republic of Finland:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Finland or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Finland shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would be prohibited by the Finnish Companies Act (osakeyhtiölaki, 624/2006), as amended.

(qq)    The Kingdom of Norway:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Norway or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Norway shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section § 8‐7 or Section § 8‐10 of the Norwegian Limited Companies Act (as from time to time in force or replaced) or lead to a financial exposure resulting in such Guarantor’s breach of the general obligations of Chapter 3 of the Norwegian Limited Companies Act (as from time to time in force or replaced).
(rr)    Additional Guarantors:  With respect to any Additional Guarantor acceding to this Agreement after the Closing Date pursuant to a Guaranty Supplement, to the extent the other provisions of this Section 7.09 do not apply to such Additional Guarantor, the obligations of such Additional Guarantor in respect of this Article VII shall be subject to any limitations set forth in such Guaranty Supplement that are reasonably required by the Administrative Agent following consultation with local counsel in the applicable jurisdiction.
SECTION 7.10.    Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its Guaranteed Obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.10, or otherwise in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, as it relates to such other Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.10 constitute, and this Section 7.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
ARTICLE VIII     
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 8.01.    Authorization and Action.  Each Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender, a Swing Line Bank (if applicable), and as an Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes, the Advances and the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender Parties; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law or regulations.  The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Person identified as a syndication agent, joint lead arranger or joint bookrunner, in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any obligations or duties to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under any of such Loan Documents.  Each initial Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Post‐Closing Letter Agreement on behalf of such Lender.

SECTION 8.02.    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except that nothing in this sentence shall absolve the Administrative Agent for any liability found in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:  (a) may treat each Lender Party and its applicable interest in each Advance set forth in the Register as conclusive until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts a Lender Accession Agreement entered into by an Acceding Lender as provided in Section 2.18 or 2.19 or an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by a Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex, telegram, facsimile, e‐mail or other electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties, (g) shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or regulations, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law, (h) may act in relation to the Loan Documents through its Affiliates, officers, agents and employees, and (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties in favor of any Lender Party or Loan Party, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing.  Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any Person, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger shall be bound to account to the Lenders for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of its delegates or agents or for supervising them; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall absolve the Administrative Agent for any liability found in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Borrowers shall not commence any proceeding against any of the Administrative Agent’s directors, officers or employees with respect to the Administrative Agent’s acts or omissions relating to the Facility or the Loan Documents.
SECTION 8.03.    Waiver of Conflicts of Interest; Etc.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent as described in this Section 8.03.
SECTION 8.04.    Lender Party Credit Decision.

Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.05.    Indemnification by Lender Parties.  (h)  Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Loan Parties) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.  To the extent that the Administrative Agent shall perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder through an Affiliate or sub‐agent, then all references to the “Administrative Agent” in this Section 8.05 shall be deemed to include any such Affiliate or sub‐agent, as applicable.
(i)    Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(j)    For purposes of this Section 8.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to the applicable Tranche at such time.  The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount.  The terms “Administrative Agent” and “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include the employees, directors, officers and affiliates of the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 8.05.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.06.    Successor Administrative Agents.The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrowers and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it (or its Affiliate) has been replaced as an Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank and released from all obligations in respect thereof.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which appointment shall, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and which appointment shall be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
137

The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Non‐Consenting Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Non‐Consenting Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07, however the Non‐Consenting Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes a Non‐Consenting Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrowers given in accordance with this Section 9.01(b) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 9.01(b).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Non‐Consenting Lender by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by the Non‐Consenting Lender.
(o)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward such notice to all Lenders) make an offer (a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all Lenders of one or more Tranches to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of such Tranches and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and, in connection with such extension, to (i) increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Tranches and/or the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Accepting Lenders, and/or (ii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the Required Lenders under Section 9.01(a)) to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date in effect immediately prior to its extension by such Accepting Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”).  Such notice shall set forth (A) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments, and (B) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days nor more than 120 days after the date of such notice).  Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Tranches and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Tranches and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.  The Loan Parties, each Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall enter into a loan modification agreement (the “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence (x) the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and (y) the authorization of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement.

(p)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Advances or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
138




definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period), provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Delivery by e‐mail or facsimile of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document or of any Exhibit hereto or thereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof, provided that any such e‐mail shall, in all cases, include an attachment (in PDF format or similar format) containing a copy of such document including the legible signature of the person who executed the same.
(d)    Materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(a), (b), (c) and (g) shall, if required by the Administrative Agent, be delivered to the Administrative Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties by e‐mail at oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or such other e‐mail addressed provided to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent from time to time for this purpose.  The Administrative Agent named herein hereby requires that such materials be delivered to the Administrative Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties by e‐mail at oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or such other e‐mail addressed provided to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent from time to time for this purpose.  The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to any Borrower, any Loan Party, any of their Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lender Parties by posting such notices on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).  Subject to Section 5.03(h), the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Lender Parties on the Platform the materials delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.03.

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non‐infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.
(e)    Each Lender Party agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender Party for purposes of this Agreement, provided that if requested by any Lender Party, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender Party by e‐mail or facsimile.  Each Lender Party agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender Party’s e‐mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e‐mail address for such Lender Party) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e‐mail address.

Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 9.04.    Costs and Expenses.  (k)  Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out‐of‐pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto (subject to the terms of the Fee Letter with respect to counsel fees incurred by the Administrative Agent through the Closing Date) with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities (including, without limitation, with respect to reviewing and advising on any matters required to be completed by the Loan Parties on a post‐closing basis), or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto and (C) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery and review of any documents and instruments at any time delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(j)) and (ii) all reasonable out‐of‐pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto), provided that the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay the costs and expenses of more than one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Lender Parties), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Lender Parties).
(l)    Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Indemnified Parties, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties)) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents.  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
143




creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated.  Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.  This Section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.
(m)    If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Floating Rate Advance is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09(b)(i), 2.10(d), 2.18(e) or 2.19(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Advances or the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if any Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.  A certificate as to any amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) shall be submitted to the Borrowers by the applicable Lender Party and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error.
(n)    If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.
(o)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.
(p)    Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9.04, for so long as a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from guaranteeing or being liable for the obligations of any other Person, a TMK that is a Borrower shall be liable only for obligations under this Section 9.04 with respect to itself and not any other Loan Party.
(q)    No Indemnified Party referred to in Section 9.04(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents.
SECTION 9.05.    Right of Set‐off.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances or the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and each of their 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
144




respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers or such Loan Party after any such set‐off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set‐off and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set‐off) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(a) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Banks and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
SECTION 9.06.    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower named on the signature pages hereto, each Guarantor named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender and each initial Issuing Bank that such Initial Lender or such initial Issuing Bank, as the case may be, has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers named on the signature pages hereto, the Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lender Parties.
SECTION 9.07.    Assignments and Participations; Replacement Notes  (b)  Each Lender may (and, if demanded by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b) will) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of one or more of the Tranches (other than any right to make Competitive Bid Advances and Competitive Bid Advances owing to it) (and any assignment of a Commitment or an Advance must be made to an Eligible Assignee that is capable of lending in the Committed Foreign Currencies related to such Commitment and Advance), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the Transfer Date) shall in no event be less than the Commitment Minimum under each Tranche or an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 in the case of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, $1,000,000 in the case of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche, A$1,000,000 in the case of the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, S$1,000,000 in the case of the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, ¥100,000,000 in the case of the Yen Revolving Credit Tranche and the Equivalent of $1,000,000 in the case of any Supplemental Tranche (or, in each case, such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Operating Partnership), (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
145




Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b) shall be an assignment of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, the Processing Fee; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b), the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent the Processing Fee; provided further that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the Processing Fee in the case of any assignment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment will be made by any Lender to any Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this sentence and no assignment, transfer, sub‐participation or subcontracting in relation to a drawing under this Agreement by a French Borrower may be effected to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Lending Office situated in a Non‐Cooperative Jurisdiction.  In the same way, no Lender having made an Advance under this Agreement to a French Borrower shall change its Lending Office for a Lending Office situated in a Non‐Cooperative Jurisdiction.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swing Line Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participants in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(a), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c)    Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer Date, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 8.05 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(d)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows:  (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
146




other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(e)    The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Borrowers shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and, with respect to Lender Parties, the Commitment under each Tranche of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing under each Tranche to, each Lender Party from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(f)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.  In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note payable to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each Tranche pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Tranche, a new Note payable to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(g)    Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such assignment was an Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of an Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Letter of Credit Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the Minimum Letter of Credit Commitment and shall be in an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 in the case of the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility, 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
147




$1,000,000 in the case of the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, A$1,000,000 in the case of the Australian Letter of Credit Facility, S$1,000,000 in the case of the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility and ¥100,000,000 in the case of the Yen Letter of Credit Facility, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with the Processing Fee, provided that such fee shall not be payable if the assigning Issuing Bank is making such assignment simultaneously with the assignment in its capacity as a Lender of all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment to the same Eligible Assignee.
(h)    The assignee may, with respect to an assignment of rights by a Lender under this Agreement with respect to any French Borrower, if it considers it necessary to make such assignment effective as against any third party, arrange for the Assignment and Acceptance to be notified to such French Borrower by a bailiff (huissier) in accordance with article 1690 of the French Civil Code.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the non‐compliance by the assignee with the provisions of this paragraph (g) affect the validity of transfer of rights and obligations or the validity of the assignment of rights as the case may be.
(i)    Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any natural person or Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that any agreement with respect to such participation may provide that such participant shall have a right to approve such amendment, waiver or consent to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and (vi) if, at the time of such sale, such Lender Party was entitled to payments under Section 2.12(a) or (e) in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Indemnified Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Indemnified Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to such participant on such date, provided that such participant complies with the requirements of Section 2.12(g) as if it were a Lender, such participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(f) as if it were an assignee under this Section 9.07, and such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 (a) or (e) than such Lender Party would have been entitled to receive.  Each Lender Party that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non‐fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender  Party shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103‐1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
148




purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(j)    Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender Party by or on behalf of any Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.12.
(k)    In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Banks and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances relating to the applicable Tranche and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Applicable Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(j), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(l)    (i)  If a Lender changes its name it shall, at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the date of the name change, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified  true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in the jurisdiction where such Lender is incorporated, addressed to the Administrative Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent):  (A) identifying the Lender which has changed its name, its new name, the date from which the change has taken effect; and (B) confirming that the Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations even after the change of name.
(ii)    If a Lender is involved in a corporate reorganization or reconstruction, it shall at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the effective date of such corporate reorganization or reconstruction, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent:  (A) an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in each of the jurisdictions where such Lender is incorporated and where the Lender’s Applicable Lending Office is located; (B) an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in each of those jurisdictions governing the Loan Documents; and (c) confirming that such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable as against the surviving entity after the corporate reorganization or reconstruction.
(iii)    If a Lender fails to provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent any of the legal opinions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall upon the request of the Administrative Agent, sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, transferring all its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to the new entity.

(m)    Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it, if any), including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other central bank in accordance with applicable local laws or regulations.
(n)    Upon notice to the applicable Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Lender’s Note, such Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu of such original Note, a replacement promissory note, identical in form and substance to, and dated as of the same date as, the Note so lost, stolen or mutilated, subject to delivery by such Lender to such Borrower of an affidavit of lost note and indemnity in customary form.  Upon the execution and delivery of the replacement Note, all references herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the lost, stolen or mutilated Note shall be deemed references to the replacement Note.
(o)    In order to comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), any Commitments, Advances or any Notes related thereto assigned to any assignee or any participations to any participant under this Section 9.07, as to which a Person domiciled in The Netherlands is a Borrower, shall be in each case in a principal amount of at least €100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currencies) per Lender or participant, as the case may be, or such other amount as may be required from time to time by the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (or implementing legislation), or if less, such assignee or participant shall confirm in writing to the Borrowers that it is a professional market party within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act.
SECTION 9.08.    Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by e‐mail (with the executed counterpart of the signature page attached to the e‐mail in PDF format or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.09.    Severability.  In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 9.10.    Usury Not Intended.  It is the intent of the Borrowers and each Lender Party in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender Party including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect.  In furtherance thereof, the Lender Parties and the Borrowers stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid on the Advances, include amounts which, by applicable law, are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and, each Lender Party receiving the same shall credit the same on the principal of the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents (or if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to such Borrowers).  In the event that the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents are accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
150




in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the principal of the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents (or, if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to such Borrowers).  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrowers and the Lender Parties shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Facility all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, taken, charged, received,  reserved or paid in connection with the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.
SECTION 9.11.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH BORROWER, EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
SECTION 9.12.    Confidentiality.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership to which such Confidential Information relates, other than (a) to such Administrative Agent’s or such Lender Party’s Affiliates, head office, branches and representative offices, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating, or self‐regulatory body having or claiming oversight over, such Lender, (d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender, (e) to any service provider of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (e) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (f) to any Person that holds a security interest in all or any portion of any Lender’s rights under this Agreement, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (f) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (h) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.10, to any actual or prospective party to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, and (i) with the prior written consent of the Borrowers; and in each case the Borrowers hereby consent to the disclosure by the Administrative Agent and any Lender Party of Confidential Information that is made in strict accordance with clauses (a) to (i), and the disclosure of other information relating to the Borrowers and the transactions hereunder that does not constitute Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document, the parties hereby agree that (x) each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of each party) may each disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States tax treatment and United States tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to each party relating to such United States tax treatment and United States tax structure and (y) the Administrative Agent may disclose the 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
151




identity of any Defaulting Lender to the other Lenders and the Borrowers if requested by any Lender or any Borrower.  In acting as the Administrative Agent, Citibank shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate division from any of its other divisions or departments and, notwithstanding any of the Administrative Agent’s disclosure obligations hereunder, any information received by any other division or department of Citibank may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to Citibank’s agency division.
SECTION 9.13.    Patriot Act; Anti‐Money Laundering Notification.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107‐56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and other anti‐money laundering and anti‐terrorism laws and regulations, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and such other anti‐money laundering and anti‐terrorism laws and regulations.  The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act and such other anti‐money laundering and anti‐terrorism laws and regulations.
SECTION 9.14.    Jurisdiction, Etc.  (c)  Except to the extent set forth in clause (c) below, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each such party further agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Except to the extent set forth in clause (c) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(d)    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(e)    Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any applicable law, each Loan Party not formed or incorporated in the United States:  (i) irrevocably appoints the Initial Process Agent (as defined below) as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the courts described in Section 9.14(a) in connection with the Loan Documents and (ii) agrees that failure by any Process Agent (as defined below) to notify any Loan Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.  If any Person appointed as a Process Agent is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Borrowers shall immediately (and in any event within ten (10) days of such event taking place) appoint another process agent on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such replacement process agent and the Initial Process Agent, each a “Process Agent”).  Failing this, the Administrative Agent may appoint another process agent for this purpose.  “Initial Process Agent” means:

1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 210 
New York, New York 10036
SECTION 9.15.    Governing Law.  This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
SECTION 9.16.    Judgment Currency.  (a)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at Citibank N.A.’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(b)    The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Relevant Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Relevant Currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to promptly remit to the applicable Loan Party such excess.
SECTION 9.17.    Substitution of Currency; Changes in Market Practices.  (a)  If a change in any foreign currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi‐national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrowers) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency (and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency) and to put the Lender Parties and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such foreign currency had occurred.
(b)    Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers) may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
SECTION 9.18.    No Fiduciary Duties.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other.  The Loan Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s‐length commercial transactions.  Each Loan Party agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties 

Digital Realty – Credit Agreement
153




with interests which a Loan Party may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Loan Parties) other than as a result of (x) the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder or (y) the Lender Parties acting as lenders hereunder, that the Administrative Agent or any such Lender Party may not be entitled to share with any Loan Party.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may (a) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (b) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with other Persons in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and as if the Lender Parties were not Lender Parties, and without any duty to account therefor to the Loan Parties.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and/or the Lender Parties acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender Party as described in this Section 9.18.
SECTION 9.19.    Removal of Borrowers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01(a), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Operating Partnership shall have the right to remove any Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership as a Borrower under the Facility that has no Advances to it outstanding at the time of such removal by providing written notice of such removal to the Administrative Agent.  Any such notice given in accordance with this Section 9.19 shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly give the Lenders notice of such removal.  After the receipt of such written notice by the Administrative Agent, such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder.  Once removed pursuant to this Section 9.19, such Subsidiary shall have no right to borrow under the Facility unless the Operating Partnership provides notice as required pursuant to Section 5.01(p) of the request again to add such Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower hereunder and such Subsidiary complies with the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(p) to become an Additional Borrower hereunder.
SECTION 9.20.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail‐In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write‐down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write‐Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail‐in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write‐down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Schedule II






SCHEDULE III
MANDATORY COST FORMULA
		
	1.
	The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:


		
	(a)
	the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or


		
	(b)
	the requirements of the European Central Bank.


		
	2.
	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter), each Lender shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for such Lender in accordance with the paragraphs set out below.  The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Advance) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.  The Administrative Agent will, at the request of any Borrower or any Lender, deliver to such Borrower or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost.


		
	3.
	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Eurocurrency Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent.  This percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s participation in all Advances made from such Eurocurrency Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Advances made from that Eurocurrency Lending Office.


		
	4.
	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Eurocurrency Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:


		
	(a)
	in relation to any Advance in Sterling:


	
		
	AB+C(B‐D)+E x 0.01
	percent per annum

	100 ‐ (A+C)






		
	(b)
	in relation to any Advance in any currency other than Sterling:


	
		
	E x 0.01
	percent per annum

	300




Where:
		
	“A”
	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.









		
	“B”
	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin, the Mandatory Cost and, if the relevant Advance is an unpaid sum, any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to Section 2.07(b)) payable for the relevant Interest Period of such Advance.


		
	“C”
	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.


		
	“D”
	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.


		
	“E”
	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge quoted to leading banks in the applicable interbank market pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.


		
	5.
	For the purposes of this Schedule:


		
	(a)
	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;


		
	(b)
	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority Fees Manuals or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;


		
	(c)
	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under Column 1 of the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and


		
	(d)
	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.


		
	6.
	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05).  A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero.  The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.


		
	7.
	If reasonably necessary, the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, shall determine the rate of charge payable by leading banks in the applicable interbank market to the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority (calculated for this purpose as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to leading banks for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such leading banks.


		
	8.
	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate.  In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:


		
	(a)
	the jurisdiction of the Eurocurrency Lending Office out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Advance; and









		
	(b)
	any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.


Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
		
	9.
	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Eurocurrency Lending Office in the same jurisdiction as its Eurocurrency Lending Office.


		
	10.
	The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over‐ or under‐compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or such other information reasonably relied upon by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.


		
	11.
	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender or such other information reasonably relied upon by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.


		
	12.
	Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.


		
	13.
	The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of their functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, [insert name of applicable Borrower] (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY _________________________ (the “Lender”) for the account of its Applicable Lending Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances, the Letter of Credit Advances and the Swing Line Advances (each as defined below) owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Global Senior Credit Agreement dated as of January [__], 2016 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; terms defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein, being used herein as therein defined) among the Borrower, Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, the Lender and certain other lender parties party thereto, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., as Parent Guarantor, any Additional Guarantors and other Borrowers party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lender and such other lender parties, on the Termination Date.
The Borrower promises to pay to the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance, Letter of Credit Advance and Swing Line Advance owing to the Lender by such Borrower from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance, Letter of Credit Advance or Swing Line Advance, as the case may be, until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement.
Both principal and interest are payable in the currency of the applicable Advance to the Applicable Administrative Agent’s Account.  Each Revolving Credit Advance, Letter of Credit Advance and Swing Line Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower and the maturity thereof, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto, which is part of this Promissory Note; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower under this Promissory Note.

The Credit Agreement, among other things, (a) provides for the making of advances (variously, the “Revolving Credit Advances”, “Letter of Credit Advances” or the “Swing Line Advances”) by the Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Principal Amount or, with respect to any Tranche, the applicable Tranche Principal Amount, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Revolving Credit Advance, Letter of Credit Advance and Swing Line Advance being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (b) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and also for

This Promissory Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Reference is made to the above-captioned Credit Agreement and to the Guaranty set forth in Article VII thereof (such Guaranty, as in effect on the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with this Guaranty Supplement, being the “Guaranty”).  The capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.
Section 1.    Guaranty; Limitation of Liability.  (a)  The undersigned hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.
(b)    The undersigned, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty Supplement, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent

Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder.

(c)    The undersigned hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty or any other guaranty, the undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.
(d)    [Insert guaranty limitation language in accordance with Section 7.09 of the Credit Agreement, if applicable]
Section 2.    Obligations Under the Guaranty.

The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Credit Agreement to an “Additional Guarantor”, a “Loan Party” or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” or a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned.

(b)    The execution and delivery by the undersigned and of each general partner or managing member (if any) of the undersigned of this Guaranty Supplement and each other Loan Document to which it is or is to be a party, and the performance of its obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents, are within the corporate, limited liability company or partnership powers of the undersigned, general partner or managing member, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership action, and do not (i) contravene the charter or bylaws, memorandum and articles of association, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other governing document of such undersigned, general partner or managing member, (ii) violate any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award, or (iii) result in or require the

The undersigned agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Guaranty Supplement or the Guaranty or the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty Supplement, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty thereunder or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is or is to be a party in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
(c)    The undersigned irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty Supplement, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is or is to be a party in any New York State or federal
