 WHEREAS, the CBTS Intercompany Debt was incurred by CyrusOne LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (formerly CyrusOne Inc., a Delaware corporation), in order to fund acquisitions of, and improvements
to, certain Contributed Assets;

(ii) Performance by the Contributor. The Contributor shall have performed in all material respects all agreements
and covenants required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the Closing Date. 

(iii) Consents, Etc. All necessary consents and approvals of Governmental Authorities or third parties (including

warranties of the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct at and as of the Closing (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty speaks as of an earlier date, in which case it must be true and

 (ii) Performance by the Operating Partnership. The Operating

Section 2.02. TIME AND PLACE. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 2.05, and subject to
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Section 2.01, the closing of the transfers contemplated by Sections 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03 and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur immediately prior to
the time the Operating Partnership receives the proceeds from the Debt Issuance on November 20, 2012 (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall take place at the offices of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, 825 Eighth Avenue,
New York, New York 10019 or such other place as mutually determined by the parties hereto. The transfers described in Sections 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03 and all closing deliveries shall be deemed concurrent for all purposes.

 5

 Section 2.05. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall terminate automatically if the contributions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been consummated on or prior to the second

the Operating Partnership and the Contributor under this Agreement shall terminate, except that the obligations set forth in Article VIII shall survive; it being understood and agreed, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that if this Agreement is
terminated because one or more of the conditions to a non-breaching party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied by the Outside Date as a result of the other party’s material breach of a covenant, representation, warranty or
other obligation under this Agreement, the non-breaching party’s right to pursue all legal remedies with respect to such breach will survive such termination unimpaired. 
 Section 2.07. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Operating Partnership shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, from the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to the Contributor, such amounts as the
Operating Partnership is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Operating Partnership, such
withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Contributor in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Operating Partnership. 

ARTICLE III 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP 
 The Operating
Partnership hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the Contributor as follows: 
 Section 3.01. ORGANIZATION;
AUTHORITY. 
 (a) The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good

contemplated hereby and thereby, and to own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its business as presently conducted and, to the extent required under 

  
 6 








 
applicable Law, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its property make such qualification necessary,
other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, properties or results of operations of the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiaries of the
Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Subsidiaries” and, each individually, an “Operating Partnership Subsidiary”), taken as a whole. 

(b) Exhibit D sets forth as of the date hereof, (i) each Operating Partnership Subsidiary, (ii) the
ownership interest therein of the Operating Partnership and (iii) if not wholly owned by the Operating Partnership, the identity and ownership interest of each of the other owners of such Operating Partnership Subsidiary. Each Operating
Partnership Subsidiary has been duly organized or formed and is validly existing under the Law of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, as applicable, has all power and authority to own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its
business as presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable Law, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its property make such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, properties or results of operations of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole. 
 Section 3.02. DUE AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each other
agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby by the Operating Partnership has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of the Operating Partnership. This Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and
delivered by or on behalf of the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Operating Partnership, each enforceable against the
Operating Partnership in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Law relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity. 

Section 3.03. CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except in connection with the Debt Issuance or as set forth on Schedule 3.03, no
material consent, waiver, approval or authorization of, or filing with, any Person or Governmental Authority or under any applicable Law is required to be obtained by the Operating Partnership in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the other Formation Transactions. 
 Section 3.04.
NO VIOLATION. None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, or any agreement contemplated hereby between the parties to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the other
Formation Transactions) does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (a) the organizational documents of the Operating Partnership,
(b) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on the Operating Partnership or (c) any other agreement to which the Operating Partnership is a party thereto. 

  
 7 








 Section 3.05. VALIDITY OF OP UNITS. The OP Units to be issued to the Contributor
pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Operating Partnership and, when issued against the consideration therefor, will be validly issued by the Operating Partnership, free and clear of all Liens created by the Operating
Partnership (other than Liens created by the Operating Partnership Agreement).

power and authority to enter this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and to own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its
business as presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable Law, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its property make such qualification
necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, properties or results of operations of the Contributor. 

Section 4.02. DUE AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and
instrument contemplated hereby by the 

  
 8 








 
Contributor has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of the Contributor. This Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of
the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contributor, each enforceable against the Contributor in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Law relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity. 
 Section 4.03. OWNERSHIP OF THE OTHER CONTRIBUTED ASSETS. The Contributor is the record owner of, or otherwise has good and valid title to, the Other Contributed Assets and has the power and authority
to transfer, sell, assign and convey to the Operating Partnership such Other Contributed Assets free and clear of any Liens, except for Permitted Liens, and, upon delivery of the consideration for such Other Contributed Assets as provided herein,
the Operating Partnership will acquire good and valid title thereto, free and clear of any Liens, except for Permitted Liens and Liens created by the Operating Partnership Agreement. 

Section 4.04. OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTIES. 
 (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.04(a), the Contributor has good and marketable title in fee simple to all Properties designated as owned real property in Exhibit A hereto and has the
power and authority to transfer, sell, assign and convey to the Operating Partnership such owned real property free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens, and, upon delivery of the consideration for such owned real property as provided
herein, the Operating Partnership will acquire good and valid title thereto, free and clear of any Liens, except for Permitted Liens and Liens created by the Operating Partnership Agreement. 

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.04(b), the Contributor has a valid leasehold interest in, and enjoys peaceful
and undisturbed possession (consistent with historical use) of all Properties designated as leased real property in Exhibit A hereto, and has the power and authority to transfer, sell, assign and convey to the Operating Partnership such
leased real property free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens, and, upon delivery of the consideration for such leased real property as provided herein, the Operating Partnership will acquire a valid leasehold interest thereto, free and

leases such Properties, and to the Contributor’s knowledge there is no material uncured default by any landlord thereunder, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.05. CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except as shall have been satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date, no consent, waiver,
approval or authorization of, or filing with, any Person or Governmental Authority or under any applicable Law is required to be obtained by the Contributor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, each other
agreement, document and instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated 

  
 9 








 
hereby or the other Formation Transactions, except for those consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations or filings, the failure of which to obtain or to file would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 Section 4.06. NO VIOLATION. None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, or any agreement
contemplated hereby between the parties to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the other Formation Transactions) does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both,
violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancelation or other right under, (a) the organizational documents of the Contributor, (b) any
agreement, document or instrument to which the Contributor is a party or by which the Contributor is bound or (c) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree binding on the Contributor (or its assets or properties),
except, in the case of (b) and (c) any such breaches or defaults that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.07. NON-FOREIGN PERSON. The Contributor is a United States person (as defined in the Code) and is, therefore, not subject
to the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales or exchange proceeds to foreign persons. 

Section 4.08. TAXES. To the Contributor’s knowledge, and except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) all Tax
Returns and reports required to be filed with respect to the Contributed Assets have been timely filed (after giving effect to any filing extension properly granted by a Governmental Authority having authority to do so) and all such returns and
reports are accurate and complete in all material respects, and all Taxes required to be paid with respect to the Contributed Assets have been paid and (b) no deficiencies for any Taxes have been proposed, asserted or assessed with respect to
the Contributed Assets, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending.

by it pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the other Formation Transactions.

Disabilities Act, zoning and building laws) whether federal, state or local, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Compliance with Environmental Laws is not addressed by this Section 4.11, but rather
solely by Section 4.14. 

  
 10 









 Section 4.12. EMINENT DOMAIN. There is no existing or, to the Contributor’s
knowledge, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, or private purchase in lieu of such a proceeding, in respect of all or any material portion of the Properties. 

Section 4.13. LICENSES AND PERMITS. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.13, to the Contributor’s knowledge, all licenses,
permits or other governmental approvals (including certificates of occupancy) required to be obtained by the owner of any Property in connection with the construction, use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of such Properties have been
obtained and are in full force and effect and in good standing, except for those licenses, permits and other governmental approvals, the failure of which to obtain or maintain in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.14. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14, the Contributor is currently in compliance with
all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Contributor has not received any written notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any other
federal, state, county or municipal entity or agency that regulates Hazardous Materials or public health risks or other environmental matters or any other private party or Person claiming any current violation of, or requiring current compliance
with, any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or demanding payment or contribution for any Release or other environmental damage in, on, under, or upon any of the Properties. No litigation in which the Contributor is a named party is pending
with respect to Hazardous Materials located in, on, under or upon any of the Properties, and, to such Contributor’s knowledge, no investigation in such respect is pending and no such litigation or investigation has been threatened in writing in
the last twelve months by any Governmental Entity or any third party. To the Contributor’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 4.14, there are no environmental conditions existing at, on, under, upon or affecting the Properties
any portion thereof that would reasonably be likely to result in any claim, liability or obligation under any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permit or any claim by any third party that would have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.15. CUSTOMER LEASES. To the Contributor’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 4.15, (i) all
leases, licenses, subleases, tenancies, possession agreements and occupancy agreements with tenants, subtenants or licensees related to the Properties (the “Customer Leases”) are in full force and effect, (ii) no monetary or
material non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by any party exists under any such Customer Lease and (iii) no tenant under any of such Customer Leases is presently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.16. ZONING. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16, the Contributor has not received (i) any written notice (which remains uncured) from any Governmental Authority stating that
any of the Properties is currently violating any zoning, land use or other similar rules or ordinances in any material respect, or (ii) any written notice of any pending or threatened proceedings for the rezoning (i.e., as opposed to the

 11 









 Section 4.17. INVESTMENT. The Contributor acknowledges that the offering and issuance
of the OP Units to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the Operating Partnership’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and
completeness of the representations and warranties of the Contributor contained herein. In furtherance thereof, the Contributor represents and warrants to the Operating Partnership as follows: 

(a) The Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act). 
 (b) The Contributor is acquiring the OP Units solely for its own
account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other Person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of any thereof in violation of the securities Law. 

(c) The Contributor is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters; the Contributor has
previously invested in securities similar to the OP Units and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the federal securities Law. The Contributor is able to bear the economic risk of holding the OP Units for an indefinite period and
is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the OP Units; the Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the Operating Partnership and the business and prospects of the Operating
Partnership and the issuance of the OP Units as the Contributor deems necessary or desirable, and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and
documents, the Operating Partnership and the business and prospects of the Operating Partnership which the Contributor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the OP Units; and the Contributor
understands and has taken cognizance of all risk factors related to the purchase of the OP Units. The Contributor is relying upon its own independent analysis and assessment (including with respect to taxes), and the advice of the Contributor’s
advisors (including tax advisors), and not upon that of the Operating Partnership or any of the Operating Partnership’s Affiliates, for purposes of evaluating, entering into, and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby. 

(d) The Contributor acknowledges that the OP Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, may
not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. 
 Section 4.18. NO
OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. Other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article IV, the Contributor shall not be deemed to have made any other representation or warranty in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.

 ARTICLE V 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
 Section 5.01. GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION. From and
after the Closing Date, each party hereto (each of which is an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its Affiliates (each of which is an “Indemnified Party”) from and against
any and all charges, complaints, claims, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses of any nature whatsoever, including amounts paid in settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation, costs of
investigative judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals therefrom and costs of attachment or similar bonds (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or relating to, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified
Party in connection with or as a result of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement or in any schedule, exhibit, certificate or affidavit or any other agreement, document or
instrument delivered by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) the Operating Partnership shall not have any obligation under this Article to indemnify any Indemnified Party against any
Losses to the extent that such Losses arise by virtue of (A) any diminution in value of the OP Units, (B) the Contributor’s breach of this Agreement, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud or (C) CyrusOne LLC’s
operation of its business or the ownership and operation of its assets outside of the ordinary course of business prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) the Contributor shall not have any obligation under this Article to indemnify any Indemnified
Party against any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise by virtue of (A) any diminution in value of the Properties, (B) the Operating Partnership’s breach of this Agreement, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud or
(C) the Operating Partnership’s operation of its business or the ownership and operation of its assets outside of the ordinary course of business prior to the Closing Date; and 

Section 5.02. NOTICE OF CLAIMS. At the time when any Indemnified Party learns of any potential claim that is subject to
indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (a “Claim”) against the Indemnifying Party it will promptly give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party; provided that failure to
do so shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. Each Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to such Indemnified
Party giving rise to such Claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount of Losses arising therefrom. Unless prohibited by Law, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such Indemnified Party’s
receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to claims asserted by third parties (“Third Party Claims”). Any Indemnified Party may at its option demand
indemnity under this Article V as soon as a Claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless of whether an actual Loss has been suffered, so long as such Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that such claim is not frivolous and that
such Indemnified Party may be liable for, or otherwise incur, a Loss as a result thereof. 
 Section 5.03. THIRD PARTY
CLAIMS. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to assume and control the defense of any Claims based on Third Party Claims, through counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party
(or any person authorized by such Indemnified Party to act on its behalf), if it 

  
 13 









 
gives written notice of its intention to do so to such Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of the applicable Claim Notice; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party
may at all times participate in such defense at its expense. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party (unless prohibited by Law), at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such Indemnified
Party’s possession or under such Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. No compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by either such Indemnified Party, on
the one hand, or the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, without the other’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and no
effect on any other claims that may be made against such other party and (ii) each Indemnified Party that is party to such claim is released from all liability with respect to such claim. 

Section 5.04. EXPIRATION. 
 (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements (including those relating to indemnification in Section 5.01) made herein shall
survive the Closing. 
 (b) Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all representations, warranties and
covenants of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement shall survive until twelve months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). If written notice of a claim in accordance with the provisions of this Article V has
been given prior to the Expiration Date, then the relevant representation, warranty and covenant shall survive, but only with respect to such specific claim, until such claim has been finally resolved. Any claim for indemnification not so asserted
in writing by the Expiration Date may not thereafter be asserted and shall forever be waived. 
 Section 5.05. LIMITATIONS
ON AMOUNTS. 
 (a) Except as provided in subparagraph (b) below, the Contributor shall not have any
liability under Section 5.01 for any Losses hereunder (i) unless and until the aggregate total amount of all such Losses for which the Contributor would, but for this provision, be liable exceeds, on a cumulative basis, one percent
(1%) of the aggregate fair market value as of the Closing Date of the OP Units issued to the Contributor on the Closing Date (the “OP Value”), and then only to the extent of such excess, (ii) in excess of, on a cumulative
basis, ten percent (10%) of the fair market value as of the Closing Date of the OP Units issued to the Contributor in respect of any Property, to the extent such Losses are directly related to or arise out of such Property and (iii) in
excess of, on a cumulative basis, ten percent (10%) of the OP Value. 
 (b) The limitations in subparagraph
(a) above shall not apply to any Losses resulting from breach of Section 4.04 with respect to a specific Property unless and until such time as the Operating Partnership (or a Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership)


  
 14 









 
obtains an endorsement providing the Operating Partnership with the benefit of the existing title insurance policy held by CBI or one of its Subsidiaries with respect to such Property, if any, or
a new title insurance policy for the benefit of the Operating Partnership (or a Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership) in the same amount as the lenders’ title insurance policy required to be obtained under the CyrusOne Credit Agreement.

 Section 5.06. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Indemnified Party hereby waives, as of the Closing,
to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) it may have against the Indemnifying Party arising under or based upon any federal,
state, local or foreign Law, other than the right to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article V. The foregoing sentence shall not limit the Indemnified Party’s right to specific performance or injunctive relief in connection with the breach by
the Indemnifying Party of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 Section 5.07. TAX TREATMENT. All indemnity payments made
hereunder shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration paid hereunder for United States federal income tax purposes.
