closely corresponding to such date (for the avoidance of doubt, with such two published maturities being the published maturity occurring most closely before such date and the published maturity occurring most closely after such date).

Company would be able to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the notes pursuant to Section 4.04(b) (other than in reliance on clause (20) of the
definition of “Permitted Liens”); or

property in connection with such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is completed, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of such property to (i) the redemption of Notes, other Indebtedness of the Company ranking on a parity with
the Notes in right of payment or Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) the purchase of other property; provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Company may deliver
Notes to the Trustee for cancellation; such Notes to be credited at the cost thereof to the Company. 
 Section 4.04. Limitation on
Liens. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless: 

(a) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or
proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and 
 (b) in all other cases, the Notes are equally and ratably secured,

 except for: 
 (1) Liens
existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (2) Liens
securing the Company’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Obligations under any hedge facility permitted under the Indenture to be entered into by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(3) Liens securing the Notes; 

(4) Liens in favor of the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on assets of any Restricted Subsidiary

 -22- 













 (c) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such
Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount
of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, whether payable in cash or in kind, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, imputed interest, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same
terms or the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class, and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or
increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness. 
 Section 4.05. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control
Triggering Event. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company or a third party has
previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.02, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase each Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described
below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. 

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, the Company must send, or cause the Trustee
to send (or, in the case of Notes represented by Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall
state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 60 days after the date such notice is delivered, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). Holders
electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed and specifying the portion
(equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes that it agrees to sell to the Company pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the
close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (c) The Company will comply with the requirements
of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result
of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.05, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.05 by virtue of such conflict. 
 (d) On the
date of such Change of Control Payment, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 
 (1) accept for payment all Notes or
portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 
 (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount
equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 

  
 -23- 













 (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly
accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 

(e) The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the
Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in
a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the date of such Change of Control Payment. 

(f) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn
under such Change of Control Offer. The Company (or a third party) may make a Change of Control Offer in advance of, and conditioned upon, any Change of Control Triggering Event.

Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person unless: 

(1) either: 

(A) the Company shall be the surviving or continuing corporation; or 

(B) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which
acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of the Company and of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Entity”): 

(i) shall be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District
of Columbia; provided that in the case where the Surviving Entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation; and 

  
 -24- 













 (ii) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in form
satisfactory to the Trustee), executed and delivered to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, interest on all of the Notes and the performance of every covenant of the Notes and the Indenture on the part
of the Company to be performed or observed;

Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture complies with the
applicable provisions of the Indenture and that all conditions precedent in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, in a single or a series of related transactions, which properties and assets, if held by the
Company instead of such Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Company. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (1) and (2) of Section 5.01(a) hereof, but subject to the proviso in clause
(1)(B)(i) of Section 5.01(a), the Company may merge with (x) any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or (y) an Affiliate that is a Person that has no material assets or liabilities and which was organized solely for the
purpose of reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.01 shall prevent the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary from consummating the Company Conversion.

(ii) as otherwise provided in the penultimate paragraph of Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture); 
 (d) the failure
to pay at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the final stated
maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the aggregate principal amount of such
Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to which the

 [Back of Note] 

2.150% Senior Notes due 2030 

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 

(1) INTEREST. Equinix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount
of this Note at 2.150% per annum from June 22, 2020, until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there
is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment
Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2021. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any,
from time to time on demand at a rate that is equal to the interest rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed daily on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except
defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before
such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose within or without the United States, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying
Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in the capacity of Paying Agent or Registrar. 

(4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of December 12, 2017 (the “Base
Indenture” and, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture (as defined below), the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented by that certain Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
June 22, 2020, by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”). The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are
subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall
govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. 

  
 A-3 













 (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

(a) The Company may redeem at its election, at any time or from time to time, some or all of the Notes before they mature at a redemption price
equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of record of
Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date plus (y) the Make-Whole Premium. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after the First Par Call Date, the redemption price will not include
the Make-Whole Premium. 
 (c) Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE 3 of the
Supplemental Indenture. 
 (d) Any redemption or notice of redemption, may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more
conditions precedent. 
 (6) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be delivered at least 15 days but not more than 60 days
before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address and the Trustee, except that redemption notices with respect to any redemption pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture may be
delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part in
connection with any redemption pursuant to Section 3.02, but only in whole multiples of $1,000 unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed and provided that any unredeemed portion of a Note is equal to $2,000 or a
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the
applicable redemption price. 
 (7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER. 

(a) In the event that the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes pursuant to
Section 4.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, it will comply with the terms set forth in the Supplemental Indenture, including Section 3.04 thereof. 

(b) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company or a third party has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption
notice with respect to all outstanding notes, as described under Section 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any
part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of
Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will deliver a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, setting
forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 
 (8) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The
Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and
the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law 

  
 A-4 













 
or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part that is equal to $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Also, the Company need not issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the
period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (9) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a
Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 (10) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the
Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any, issued under the Supplemental Indenture)

payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture and the Notes may be waived with the consent
of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any, issued under the Supplemental Indenture) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for purchase of, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; provide for the
assumption by a Surviving Entity of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture; provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; secure the Notes, add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the

to any provision of the “Description of notes” of the Prospectus to the extent that such provision in the “Description of notes” of the Prospectus was intended to be a recitation of a provision of the Indenture or the Notes; or
make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of the Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided that
(i) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in the Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights
of Holders to transfer the Notes. 
 (11) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default with respect to the Notes include: (i) default
for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, with respect to the Notes; (ii) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal on the Notes (including the failure to make a payment to purchase
Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer); (iii) failure by the Company for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single
class to comply with any of the other covenants or agreements in the Indenture (except (i) in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice
requirement but without such passage of time requirement and (ii) as otherwise provided in the penultimate paragraph of Section 4.03 of the Base Indenture); (iv) the failure to pay at final maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace
periods and any extensions thereof) the stated principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not
rescinded, annulled or otherwise 

  
 A-5 













 
cured within 30 days of receipt by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration) if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the
principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to which the 30-day period described
above has passed), equals $500.0 million or more at any time; (v) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute
a Material Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law, commences a voluntary case, consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, consents to the appointment of a custodian for it or for all or
substantially all of its property, makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or an admission by the Company in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or (vi) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an
order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a
Material Subsidiary in an involuntary case; appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a
Material Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a
Material Subsidiary or orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Material Subsidiary and
the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days. 
 If any Event of Default with respect to outstanding Notes
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in
writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and the same shall be immediately due and payable. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occurring with
respect to the Company, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company
is required, within five Business Days of any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 

(12) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

 (13) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, agent, stockholder or Affiliate of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or under the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liabilities. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 

(14) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(16) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company
has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
