Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or a Revolving Credit Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances in Yen made simultaneously by the Lenders ratably according to their Revolving Credit Commitments.  Within the limits of each Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment in effect from time to time and prior to the Termination Date, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).  
(a)    Letters of Credit.  (i) Each Issuing Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is a commercial bank to issue on its behalf) letters of credit denominated in Yen (such letters of credit, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”), for the account of any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until 10 Business Days before the Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount (A) for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the Letter of Credit Facility at such time, (B) for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time, and (C) for each such Letter of Credit not to exceed the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at such time.
(i)    Letter of Credit Requirements.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of any Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than (A) in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit, the earlier of (1) 10 Business Days before the Termination Date and (2) one year after the date of issuance thereof, but may by its terms be automatically renewable for additional twelve month periods and (B) in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit, the earlier of (1) 10 Business Days  before the Termination Date, and (2) 180 days after the date of issuance thereof; provided, however, that the terms of each Standby Letter of Credit that is automatically renewable annually shall (x) permit the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such automatic renewal at least once in each twelve‐month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by providing prior notice to the beneficiary not later than a day (a “Non‐Renewal Notice Date”) in each twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued, (y) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under such Standby Letter of Credit prior to the date such Standby Letter of Credit otherwise would have been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration date (after giving effect to any renewal) of such Standby Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later than 10 Business Days before the Termination Date.  Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, no Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Bank for any such automatic renewal.

33

(d)    Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.  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.
(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to (x) 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of any Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or (y) 12:00 P.M.(Tokyo time) two Business Days prior to the date of any Borrowing consisting of TIBOR 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, 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 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 and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount.  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.
(f)    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.
(g)    [reserved].
(h)    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(i) shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation or warranty by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.

SECTION 2.03.    Letters of Credit.  (a)  Request for Issuance.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

Any application for a Letter of Credit may be made by any Borrower.  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.  
(a)    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.

Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank represents and warrants to such 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 Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit 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 such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, equal to the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable.  If such 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 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.
(c)    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.
(d)    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, 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.
(e)    [Reserved].  
(f)    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.
(g)    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.
(h)    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.

(i)    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of any Borrower, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of their Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that the Borrowers’ businesses derive substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

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.
(a)    [Reserved].
(b)    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.
(i)    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 Banks 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;
(E)    without limiting Borrowers’ rights under clause (iv) below, payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

37





(F)    any exchange, release or non‐perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranties or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or
(G)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or Guarantor.
(ii)    The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank.
(iii)    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, 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. 

SECTION 2.05.    Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (a)  The Borrowers may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent received no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the proposed termination date, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Facility and any Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of a Facility (A) shall be in an aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Reduction Minimum or a Revolving Credit Reduction Multiple in excess thereof and (B) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to such Facility.  Once terminated, a Commitment may not be reinstated.
(a)    The Borrowers may, if no Notice of Borrowing is then outstanding, terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
38





will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.13(b) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(b)    The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility, provided that neither the Letter of Credit Facility nor the Revolving Credit Facility shall be reduced below an amount equal to the aggregate unused amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Letter of Credit Facility at any time.

SECTION 2.06.    Prepayments.  (a)  Optional.  The Borrowers may, upon notice received no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed prepayment date, in each case to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrowers shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the Revolving Credit Reduction Minimum or a Revolving Credit Reduction Multiple in excess thereof or, if less, the amount of the Advances outstanding and (ii) if any prepayment of an Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c).
(a)    Mandatory.  (i)  If the Facility Exposure shall at any time equal or exceed 105% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, then the applicable Borrower shall, within five Business Days after the earlier of the date on which (A) a Responsible Officer becomes aware of such event or (B) written notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings and the Letter of Credit Advances and deposit an amount in the L/C Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to the amount by which the Facility Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that any deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account made pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(i) shall only be required to be maintained so long as the applicable circumstances giving rise to the requirement to make such deposit shall continue to exist or would again exist in the absence of such deposit.  The Administrative Agent may determine the Facility Exposure attributable to any Facility from time to time.
(i)    After taking into account any payments made pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i), the Borrowers shall, on each Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings and the Letter of Credit Advances and/or deposit an amount in the L/C Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to the amount by which Unsecured Debt exceeds the Maximum Unsecured Debt Percentage of Total Unencumbered Asset Value, provided that any deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account made pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall only be required to be maintained so long as the applicable circumstances giving rise to the requirement to make such deposit shall continue to exist or would again exist in the absence of such deposit.
(ii)    Prepayments made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be applied first to prepay Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, second to prepay Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding (on a pro rata basis in respect of all Lenders) until such Advances are paid in full and third deposited in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to cash collateralize 100% of the Available Amount of the Letters of Credit then outstanding to the 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
39





extent required under the foregoing clauses.  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.
(iii)    All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.

SECTION 2.07.    Interest.  (a)  Scheduled Interest.  The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(i)    TIBOR Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a TIBOR Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the TIBOR Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each December, March, June and September during such periods and on the date such TIBOR Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
(ii)    Eurocurrency Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, subject to clause (d)(ii) below, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect on the first day of such Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
(b)    Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(a) or (f) or, at the election of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Borrowers shall pay interest (which interest shall be payable both before and after the Administrative Agent has obtained a judgment with respect to the Facility) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under the Loan Documents that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, on the Type of Advance on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and, in all other cases, on Eurocurrency Rate Advances with a one month Interest Period plus 1%.
(c)    Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a) 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.

(d)    Interest Rate Determination.  
(i)    Subject to clause (d)(ii) below, if the Eurocurrency Rate is unavailable and the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurocurrency Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, as provided in the definition of Eurocurrency Rate herein,
(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)    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 TIBOR Rate; provided, however, if the TIBOR Rate is then unavailable, such interest rate 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.
(ii)    Notwithstanding clause (a)(ii) or (d)(i) of this Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Operating Partnership or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Operating Partnership) that the Operating Partnership or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that (A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining any Applicable Screen Rate for any requested Interest Period, including because such Applicable Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (B) the administrator of any Applicable Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which an Applicable Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or be used for determining interest rates for loans such as the Borrowings contemplated by this Agreement, or (C) syndicated loans currently being executed that are similar to the Borrowings contemplated by this Agreement (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.07(d), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace such Applicable Screen Rate, then reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership shall negotiate in good faith and endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to such Applicable Screen Rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for similar syndicated loans denominated in the applicable currencies in respect of such Applicable Screen Rate at such time, and shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01, enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes.  Such amendment shall become effective without any action or consent of any party to this Agreement other than the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days after the date that a copy of such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
41





written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (d)(ii) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (B) of the first sentence of this clause (d)(ii), only to the extent the Applicable Screen Rate is not available or published at such time on a current basis), the interest rate applicable to all outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances using such Applicable Screen Rate shall be determined in accordance with clause (a)(ii) or (d)(ii) of this Section 2.07, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any alternate rate of interest established pursuant to this clause (d)(ii) shall be less than 0.00% per annum, such rate shall be deemed to be 00.0% per annum for the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that such alternate rate of interest may be less than 0.00% per annum for any Advance that has been identified by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent as being subject to a Hedge Agreement.
(e)    [Reserved]. 
(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 Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency 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)  Unused Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused commitment fee (each, an “Unused Fee”) in Yen, from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender 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 in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date.  Each Unused Fee payable for the account of each Lender shall be calculated for each period for which such Unused Fee is payable on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during such period at the Applicable Margin for Unused Fees.  Each Unused 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 Unused 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.
(a)    Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.  (i)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commission in Yen, payable in arrears, (A) quarterly on the last day of each December, March, June and September, commencing December 31, 2018, (B) on the earliest to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Letter of Credit, and (C) on the Termination Date, on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter of all 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
42





Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Rate Advances in effect from time to time.
(i)    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.
(b)    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.
(c)    [Reserved].  
(d)    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) or (b) (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, pro rata from the date of such reallocation in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(e)    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.

SECTION 2.09.    [Reserved].

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 any Advances 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 Eurocurrency 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 resulting from (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), (B) Excluded Taxes, 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) [reserved], (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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
43





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 or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the making of such a designation or assignment 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; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be required to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable law.
(a)    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; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be required to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable law.  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.
(b)    If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Required Lenders 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 TIBOR Rate Advance, and (ii) 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 Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension shall no longer exist.   If at such time the TIBOR Rate is unavailable, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Advances shall be suspended and (y) with respect to any Revolving Credit Advances that are then outstanding, such Revolving Credit Advances shall thereafter bear interest at an interest rate on each Lender’s share of such Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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.

(c)    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 Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to fund or continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency 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 will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a TIBOR Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of such Lenders to make, continue or Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency 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 TIBOR Rate Advance or the suspension of any obligation of any Lender to make any Eurocurrency 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.
(d)    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).
(e)    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) or (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 (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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
45





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 not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City 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 Yen, 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 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 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.
(a)    [Reserved].
(b)    All computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate, TIBOR Rate or the Federal Funds Rate 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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
46





excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable.  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.
(c)    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 Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(d)    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 the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount.
(e)    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 Yen or from Dollars to Yen or from Yen 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.
(f)    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.  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;

(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) and (b)(i) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facilities on such date;

(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) (A) 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, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which it is otherwise conducting business or in which it is treated as resident for Tax purposes or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes 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 at the time such Lender Party initially acquires an interest in any Advance (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 initially acquired an interest in any Advance 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) [reserved], 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) 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.
(a)    [Reserved].
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    In addition, but without duplication of amounts payable under Section 2.12(a), 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 such taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to any assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.10(f)) (“Other Taxes”).  All payments to be made by the Loan Parties under or in connection with 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
49





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 Indirect Tax.  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.
(d)    Without duplication of Sections 2.12(a) or 2.12(d), 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.
(e)    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.
(f)    (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.  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 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.

(i)    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.
(ii)    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.

(g)    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.
(h)    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.
(i)    To the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, the Administrative Agent shall (i) act as the withholding agent with respect to the Facilities, taking into account that each of the Borrowers 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 Facilities.  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 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.

For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.13.    Sharing of Payments, Etc.  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 such Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all such 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 (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 such Lender Parties hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of such Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from such 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

52





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 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 the funding of equity investments for joint ventures with Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan, 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.
(a)    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 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.

(b)    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.    [Reserved].  

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 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.
(a)    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:
(i)    the Borrowers will maintain all L/C Account Collateral only with the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent; and
(ii)    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
(iii)    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.
(b)    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.
(c)    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.
(d)    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 (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 increased pursuant to this Section 2.18 exceed ¥93,285,000,000 on any Increase Dates and (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.
(a)    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, (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, the 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 Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
55





amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested 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).
(b)    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 ¥100,000,000, 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.
(c)    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 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 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 Borrowers; 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 Revolving Credit Commitment  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 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.
(d)    On the Increase Date, to the extent the Advances then outstanding and owed to any Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase shall be less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders (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 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 shall equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase on the Increase Date) of all Advances then outstanding and owed to all Lenders.  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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
56





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.
(e)    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.    Intentionally Omitted.  

SECTION 2.20.    Intentionally Omitted.  

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 the Letter of Credit Facility:
(i)    the Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to the 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 pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, 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 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;
(ii)    to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Facility Exposure with respect to the 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
(iii)    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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
57





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 and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Pro Rata Share of the Lenders 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 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.

In the event of any Bond Issuance occurring after the Closing Date or the issuance after the Closing Date of any guaranty or other credit support for any Bonds, in each case by any Wholly‐Owned Subsidiary or any wholly‐owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor (other than the Operating Partnership, an existing Guarantor or an Immaterial Subsidiary) (any such Bond Issuances, guaranties and credit support being referred to as “Bond Debt”), such Subsidiary issuer or such guarantor or provider of credit support shall, at the cost of the Loan Parties, become a Guarantor hereunder (each, an “Additional Guarantor”) within 15 days after such Bond Issuance by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Guaranty Supplement guaranteeing the Obligations of the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Wholly‐Owned Foreign Subsidiaries that are not Immaterial Subsidiaries shall be permitted to incur and/or have outstanding (i) Bond Debt in a principal amount not to exceed 10% of Total Asset Value, (ii) Debt under the Facility, and (iii) Secured Debt, in each case without being required to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.01(j).  Each Additional Guarantor shall, within such 15 day period, deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) all of the documents set forth in Sections 3.01(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) with respect to such Additional Guarantor, (B) all of the “know your client” information relating to such Additional Guarantor that is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party and (C) a corporate formalities legal opinion relating to such Additional Guarantor from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  If any Additional Guarantor is no longer a guarantor or credit support provider with respect to any Bonds, then the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Operating Partnership, release such Additional Guarantor from the Guaranty, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers shall cause the Guarantors hereunder to be the same as the “Guarantors” as defined in and under the Global Loan Documents at all times.  The Administrative Agent shall, upon 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
70





the request of the Operating Partnership, release any Guarantor that is released from the Global Loan Documents in accordance with their terms as a “Guarantor” (as defined thereunder) from the Guaranty, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
(k)    Further Assurances.  Promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender Party through the Administrative Agent, correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation thereof.
(l)    Compliance with Terms of Leaseholds.  Make all payments and otherwise perform all obligations in respect of all leases of real property to which the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, keep such leases in full force and effect and not allow such leases to lapse or be terminated or any rights to renew such leases to be forfeited or cancelled, except, if in the reasonable business judgment of such Borrower or Subsidiary it is in its best economic interest not to maintain such lease or prevent such lapse, termination, forfeiture or cancellation and such failure to maintain such lease or prevent such lapse, termination, forfeiture or cancellation is not in respect of a Qualifying Ground Lease for an Unencumbered Asset and is not otherwise reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(m)    Maintenance of REIT Status.  In the case of the Parent Guarantor, at all times, conduct its affairs and the affairs of its Subsidiaries in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If after the Closing Date, a Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership desires to become a Borrower hereunder, such Subsidiary shall:  (i) provide at least five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent; (ii) duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrower Accession Agreement; (iii) satisfy all of the conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Section 5.01(p) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (iv) satisfy the “know your customer” requirements of the Administrative Agent and each relevant Lender, (v) deliver a Beneficial Ownership Certification, if applicable, with respect to such Additional Borrower, and (vi) obtain the consent of each Lender, which may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole discretion, that such Additional Borrower is acceptable as a Borrower under the Loan Documents.  Each such Subsidiary’s addition as a Borrower shall also be conditioned upon the Administrative Agent having received (x) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of such Subsidiary, dated the date of such Borrower Accession Agreement certifying that:  (1) the representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date, before and after giving effect to such Subsidiary becoming an Additional Borrower and as though made on and as of such 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 or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date) and (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of such date or would occur as a result of such Subsidiary becoming an Additional Borrower, (y) all of the documents set forth in Sections 3.01(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) with respect to such Subsidiary and (z) a corporate formalities legal opinion relating to such Subsidiary from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,

71





all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Upon such Subsidiary’s addition as an Additional Borrower, such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a Borrower hereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender upon each Additional Borrower’s addition as a Borrower hereunder and shall, upon request by any Lender, provide such Lender with a copy of the executed Borrower Accession Agreement.  With respect to the accession of any Additional Borrower, such Additional Borrower shall be responsible for making a determination as to whether it is capable of making payments to each Lender without the incurrence of withholding taxes, provided that each such Lender shall provide such properly completed and executed documentation described in Section 2.12 or otherwise reasonably requested by such Additional Borrower as may be necessary for such Additional Borrower to determine the amount of any applicable withholding taxes and the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Borrowers and their tax advisors in connection with any analysis necessary for such Additional Borrower to make such determination.
(q)    Addition and Removal of Unencumbered Assets.  If the Operating Partnership shall add any Asset to the Global Unencumbered Asset pool, such Asset shall, simultaneously therewith, become an Unencumbered Asset hereunder.  If any Asset is released from the Global Unencumbered Asset pool, such Asset shall, simultaneously therewith, be removed as an Unencumbered Asset hereunder.

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, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the applicable 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.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.
(a)    Each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party and, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty, each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder 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

(d)    any manner of application of any assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents;
(e)    any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f)    any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the

Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to disclose such information);

SECTION 7.03.    Waivers and Acknowledgments.  (a)  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice (except as expressly provided under the Loan Documents) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person.

(d)    Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive payments in the ordinary course of business from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.
(b)    Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations.  In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.
(c)    Turn‐Over.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
(d)    Administrative Agent Authorization.

(i)    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.

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.

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.
(i)    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.
(ii)    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 (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

88





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.
(iii)    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.
(iv)    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.
(h)    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).
(i)    Ireland:  The liability of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Ireland under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any liability or obligation which would, if incurred, constitute the provision of unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 82 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland (as amended).

(n)    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.

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).
(i)    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.
(ii)    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.
(iii)    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).
(p)    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.

(q)    The Republic of Poland:  (i)  A Guaranty by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Poland or by any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Poland (each, a “Polish Guarantor”) will be limited in 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.
(i)    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.
(ii)    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.

For the purposes of this Section 7.09(t), “Equity” means the equity (in Danish “egenkapital”) of such Danish Guarantor calculated in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles at the relevant time, however, adjusted: (I) upwards if and to the extent any book value it not equal to market value; (II) by adding back any loans owed by the Danish Guarantor to its direct shareholder to the extent they have not been included in the calculation of the equity, provided that any payment made under this Article VII in respect of such obligations of the Danish Guarantor shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of such shareholder loan owed by the Danish Guarantor; and (III) by adding back obligations (in the amounts outstanding at the time when a claim for payment is made) of the Danish Guarantor in respect of (a) any intercompany loan owing by the Danish Guarantor to a Borrower and originally borrowed by that Borrower under this Agreement and on-lent by that Borrower to the Danish Guarantor, (b) and interest and other costs payable by that Borrower in respect of such loans, provided that any payment made by the Danish Guarantor under this Article VII in respect of such obligations of the Danish Guarantor shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intercompany loan owing by the Danish Guarantor.  The limitations set forth in this Section 7.09(t) shall apply to such Danish Guarantor’s aggregate obligations and liabilities under any security, guarantee, indemnity, collateral, subordination of rights and claims, subordination or turnover of rights of recourse, application of proceeds and any other means of direct or indirect financial assistance pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(u)    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).
(v)    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, 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.  

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 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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
94





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 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 or the Arrangers as a trustee or fiduciary of any Person, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers 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.  In the event that the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, with respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, such Lender shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not also the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include such Lender in its individual capacity.  Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Lender may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Lenders) other than as a result of the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder, that the Administrative Agent may not be entitled to share with any Lender.  The Administrative Agent will not disclose confidential information obtained from any Lender (without its consent) to any of the Administrative Agent’s other customers nor will it use on the Lender’s behalf any confidential information obtained from any other customer.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may (x) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (y) 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, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent, and without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties.  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 an Arranger 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 acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender Party also

95





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.  (a)  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.
(a)    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.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse such Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers.
(b)    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 at such time (without exclusion of any Defaulting Lender).  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.

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 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.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(a)    In the event that any Lender (a “Non‐Consenting Lender”) shall refuse to consent to a waiver or amendment to, or a departure from, the provisions of this Agreement which requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders and that has, where applicable, been consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Non‐Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent given at any time after the date on which such consent was first solicited in writing from the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (a “Consent Request Date”), to cause such Non‐Consenting 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 an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrowers and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or to another Lender (a “Replacement Lender”).  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.
(b)    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 to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of the Advances 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 Advances 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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
99





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 Advances 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 Advances 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 Borrowers to enter into and perform their obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement.  Each party hereto agrees that, upon the effectiveness of a Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Advances and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.
(c)    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 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.
(d)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.07(d)(ii), if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between a provision of this Agreement and/or a provision of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document, so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lender Parties in any material respect.
(e)    Prior to or after effecting any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification to the representations or warranties, covenants or events of default in the Revolving Credit Documents as to which a corresponding provision exists in the Loan Documents (a “Global Facility Modification”), the Borrowers will provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a corresponding amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification (the “Corresponding Amendment”) to the Loan Documents to effect such Global Facility Modification on substantially equivalent terms.  Such Corresponding Amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any party other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of such Corresponding Amendment to the Lenders, written notices from the Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Required Lenders object to such 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
100





Corresponding Amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of  the Corresponding Amendment to which such Required Lenders object); provided, however, that any Lender hereunder that is also a lender under the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have accepted such Corresponding Amendment to the extent that such Lender has provided its approval of the applicable Global Facility Modification in accordance with the terms of the Global Revolving Credit Agreement.  A Lender that is deemed to have approved a Corresponding Amendment in accordance with this covenant will, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, provide a writing evidencing the same.

(f)    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 (x) 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 or (y) a breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

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 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 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  (a)  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 each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Letter of Credit Facility (and any assignment of a Commitment or an Advance must be made to an Eligible Assignee), (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 or an integral multiple in excess thereof of ¥100,000,000 (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 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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement
105





Persons described in this sentence.  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 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 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.
(a)    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).
(b)    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 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.

(c)    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 of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing 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.
(d)    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 portion of the outstanding Advances purchased by it and any unfunded Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained any portion of the outstanding Advances or any unfunded Commitment, a new Note payable to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of such Advances and such unfunded Commitments 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.
(e)    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 ¥100,000,000, (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.
(f)    [reserved].
(g)    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 Borrowers 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

107





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 as a result of a change in law 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 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.
(h)    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.
(i)    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 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 participations in Letters of Credit 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 


Digital Realty – Yen Credit Agreement

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.
(j)    (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.
(i)    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.
(ii)    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.
(k)    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.
(l)    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.

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.

109






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 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, 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, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (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, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (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 9.12, 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 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, SMBC 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 SMBC may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to SMBC’s agency division.

SECTION 9.13.    Patriot Act; Anti‐Money Laundering Notification; Beneficial Ownership.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that (a) 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 and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required, with respect to any Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  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.

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.
(a)    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.

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 SMBC’s principal office in New York at 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(a)    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.  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.

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 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.

PROMISSORY NOTE


¥_______ (the “Principal Amount”) 
Dated:  _________ __, ____


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 and the Letter of Credit Advances (each as defined below) owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of October 24, 2018 (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 Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, 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 and Letter of Credit Advance owing to the Lender by such Borrower from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit 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 and Letter of Credit 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.
This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement, among other things, (a) provides for the making of advances (variously, the “Revolving Credit Advances” or the “Letter of Credit 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 and the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Revolving Credit Advance and Letter of Credit 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 prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the Termination Date upon the terms and conditions therein specified.




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

Attention:  Minobu Blackwood, Agency Services
Credit Agreement dated as of October 24, 2018 (as in effect on the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Digital Realty Trust, L.P., as a Borrower, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., as Parent Guarantor, the Additional Guarantors and other Borrowers party thereto, the Lender Parties party thereto, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as Administrative Agent for the Lender Parties.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
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
