no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer.


 


Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer,
the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will
contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. The notice,
which will govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, will state:


 


(a)      that the Repurchase Offer
is being made pursuant to this Section 3.04, and Section 4.05 hereof, and the length of time the Repurchase Offer will remain open;


 


(b)      the Offer Amount, the purchase
price and the Purchase Date;


 


(c)      that any Note not tendered
or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;


 


(d)      that, unless the Company
defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer will cease to accrue interest after
the Purchase Date;


 


(e)      that Holders electing to
have a Note purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in minimum denominations of $2,000, or integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;


 


(f)       that Holders electing to
have a Note purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option
of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary,
if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;


 


(g)      that Holders will be entitled
to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the
expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such
Note purchased;


 


(h)      that, if the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee will
select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered
(with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that no Notes in denominations of $2,000 or less will be
purchased in part); and


 


(i)       that Holders whose Notes
were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes of the applicable series equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion
of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).


 






    -20-


     


    

 


On or before the Purchase Date, the Company
will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions
thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered,
and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate
stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section
3.04. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days
after the Purchase Date) deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder
and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request
from the Company, will authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder in a principal
amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture to the contrary,
neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. Any
Note not so accepted shall be promptly returned by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results
of the Repurchase Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.


 


Other than as specifically provided in this
Section 3.04 or Section 4.05 of this Supplemental Indenture, as applicable, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be
made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture.


 


ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS


 


In addition to the covenants set forth in
Article 4 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the following additional covenants. Such additional covenants set
forth in Sections 4.03 through Section 4.05 below shall be subject to covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Base
Indenture.


 


Section 4.01.              
Payment of Notes. The following paragraph shall be added following the first paragraph of Section 4.01 of the Base
Indenture: “The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue principal and premium, if any, at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful;
it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace period), at such rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed daily on the Notes
on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months (US 30/360)”.


 


Section 4.02.              
Reports to Holders. The following sentence shall be added to the end of the second paragraph of Section 4.03 of the
Base Indenture: “If the Company had any Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the relevant period, the Company will also provide
to the Trustee and, upon request, to any Holder of the Notes, information sufficient to ascertain the financial condition and results
of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, excluding in all respects the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.”


 






    -21-


     


    

 


Section 4.03.              
Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any
Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property or assets unless:


 


(1)               
the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is solely with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;


 


(2)               
the lease is for a period not in excess of 36 months (or which may be terminated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
within a period of not more than 36 months);


 


(3)               
the Company would be able to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction without
equally and ratably securing the notes pursuant to Section 4.04(b) (other than in reliance on clause (20) of the definition of
 “Permitted Liens”); or


 


(4)               
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days after the sale of such property in connection with such Sale and
Leaseback Transaction is completed, applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of such property to (i) the redemption
of Notes, other Indebtedness of the Company ranking on a parity with the Notes in right of payment or Indebtedness of the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) the purchase of other property; provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement
of Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Company may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation; such Notes to be credited at the cost
thereof to the Company.


 


Section 4.04.              
Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets
of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds
therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless:


 


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


 


(b)                in all other cases, the
Notes are equally and ratably secured,


 


except for:


 


(1)               
Liens existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date;


 


(2)               
Liens securing the Company’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Obligations under any hedge facility permitted
under the Indenture to be entered into by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


(3)               
Liens securing the Notes;


 


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


 


(5)               
Permitted Liens.


 






    -22-


     


    

 


(c)               
With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence
of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased
Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual
of interest, whether payable in cash or in kind, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, imputed interest, the payment
of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock
in the form of additional shares of the same class, and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result
of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.


 


Section 4.05.              
Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.


 


(a)               
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company or a third party has previously or concurrently
delivered a redemption notice with respect to all outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.02, the Company will be required
to make an offer to purchase each Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”),
at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.


 


(b)               
Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, the Company must send, or
cause the Trustee to send (or, in the case of Notes represented by Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures)
a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice
shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 60 days after the date
such notice is delivered, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). Holders
electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled
 “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed and specifying the portion (equal to $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes that it agrees to sell to the Company pursuant
to the Change of Control Offer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the
third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.


 


(c)               
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of
a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
provisions of this Section 4.05, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed
to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.05 by virtue of such conflict.


 


(d)               
On the date of such Change of Control Payment, the Company will, to the extent lawful:


 


(1)               
accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;


 


(2)               
deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes
properly tendered; and


 






    -23-


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


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


 


ARTICLE 5

MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, OR SALE OF ASSETS


 


The Notes shall not be subject to Section

Indenture:


 


Section 5.01.              
Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.


 


(a)               
The Company will not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person,
or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to
sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (determined
on a consolidated basis for the Company and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially
as an entirety to any Person unless:


 


 (1)                 either:




 


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




 


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


 


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


 






    -24-


     


    

 


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


 


(2)               
immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(B)(ii)
of this Section 5.01(a), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; and


 


(3)               
the Company or the Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and,
if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture complies with the applicable
provisions of the Indenture and that all conditions precedent in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied.


 


(b)               
For purposes of the provisions of Section 5.01(a) hereof, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single
transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries
of the Company, in a single or a series of related transactions, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of
such Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated
basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.


 


(c)               
Notwithstanding clauses (1) and (2) of Section 5.01(a) hereof, but subject to the proviso in clause (1)(B)(i) of Section
5.01(a), the Company may merge with (x) any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or (y) an Affiliate that is a Person that
has no material assets or liabilities and which was organized solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.01 shall prevent the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary from consummating
the Company Conversion.

of the Base Indenture);


 






    -25-

3.200% Senior Notes due 2029


 


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


 


(1) INTEREST. Equinix, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 3.200% per annum
from November 18, 2019, until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 18 and November 18 of each
year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from
the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated
between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from
such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 18, 2020.
The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal
and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is equal to the interest rate then in effect to the extent lawful;
it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will
be computed daily on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The
Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close
of business on the May 4 or November 4 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record
date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose within or without the United States, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check
mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all other
Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will
be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.


 


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


 


(4) INDENTURE. The Company issued
the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of December 12, 2017 (the “Base Indenture” and, as supplemented by the
Supplemental Indenture (as defined below), the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee, as
supplemented by that certain Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 18, 2019, by and between the Company and the Trustee
(the “Supplemental Indenture”). The terms of this Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture
and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company.

    A-5


     


    

 


If any Event of Default with respect to
outstanding Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice
in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”
and the same shall be immediately due and payable.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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