## EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, of which Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to "we," "us," "our," "our Company," or "the Company" refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Digital Realty Trust, L.P. Unless otherwise, all references to the "Parent" refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., and all references to "our Operating Partnership," "the Operating Partnership" or "the OP" refer to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Parent is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of the OP. In statements regarding qualification as a REIT, such terms refer solely to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. As of December 31, 2021, the Parent owned an approximate 98.0% common general partnership interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The remaining approximate 2.0% of the common limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are owned by non-affiliated third parties and certain directors and officers of the Parent. As of December 31, 2021, the Parent owned all of the preferred limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., the Parent has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the OP's day-to-day management and control.

We believe combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Parent and the OP into this single report results in the following benefits:

• enhancing investors' understanding of the Parent and the OP by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

• eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent and the OP; and

• creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

It is important to understand the few differences between the Parent and the OP in the context of how we operate the Company. The Parent does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the OP and issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. The OP holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly. The OP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent, which are generally contributed to the OP in exchange for partnership units, the OP generates capital required by the business through the OP's operations, incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of partnership units to third parties.

The presentation of noncontrolling interests, stockholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent and those of the OP. The differences in the presentations between stockholders' equity and partners' capital result from the differences in the equity and capital issuances in the Parent and in the OP.

To highlight the differences between the Parent and the OP, separate sections in this report, as applicable, individually discuss the Parent and the OP, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent and the OP, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

As general partner with control of the OP, the Parent consolidates the OP for financial reporting purposes, and it does not have significant assets other than its investment in the OP. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Parent and the OP are the same on their respective consolidated financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent and the OP in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

## PART I

## ITEM 1. BUSINESS

## The Company

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Parent"), through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or the "OP") and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, (collectively, "we", "our", "us" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions for customers across a variety of industry verticals. The Parent operates as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The OP is the entity through which the Parent conducts its business of owning, acquiring, developing and operating data centers. The Parent was incorporated in the state of Maryland on March 9, 2004. The OP was organized as a limited partnership in the state of Maryland on July 21, 2004.

As of December 31, 2021, our portfolio consisted of 287 data centers (including 50 data centers held as investments in unconsolidated entities), of which 127 are located in the United States, 107 are located in Europe, 27 are located in Latin America, 13 are located in Asia, six are located in Australia, four are located in Africa and three are located in Canada.

Our principal executive offices are located at 5707 Southwest Parkway, Building 1, Suite 275, Austin, Texas 78735. Our telephone number is (737) 281-0101. Our website is www.digitalrealty.com. The information found on, or otherwise accessible through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, nor does it form a part of, this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

## Recent Acquisitions

On October 29, 2019, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Intrepid Holding B.V., an indirect subsidiary of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Buyer"), and Interxion Holding N.V., which we refer to as Interxion, entered into a purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer commenced an exchange offer to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Interxion in exchange for shares of common stock of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. We refer to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement as the Interxion Combination. We obtained control of Interxion on March 9, 2020 and completed the Interxion Combination on March 12, 2020 for total equity consideration of approximately $7.0 billion, including cash assumed. The Interxion Combination expanded the combined company's presence across Europe and Africa.

On November 1, 2019, we closed the joint venture with Maptelee Investments and Maptelee Industrial Trust, which we refer to collectively as Maptelee, on three existing Turn-Key Flex® data centers located in Ashburn, Virginia. The Company retained a 20% ownership interest in the joint venture, and Maptelee acquired the remaining 80% stake for approximately $0.8 billion. We will continue to operate and manage these facilities. The second tranche of the Maptelee transaction, the sale of 10 fully-leased Powered Base Building® properties for $55 million, closed in January 2020.

On December 20, 2018, the Operating Partnership and Stellar Participações S.A. (formerly Stellar Participações Ltda.), a Brazilian subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, completed the acquisition of Ascenty, a leading data center provider in Brazil, for cash and equity consideration of approximately $2.0 billion, including cash assumed. We refer to this transaction as the Ascenty Acquisition. In March 2019, we formed a joint venture with Brookfield Infrastructure, an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management, one of the largest owners and operators of infrastructure assets globally. Brookfield invested approximately $702 million in exchange for approximately 49% of the total equity interests in the joint venture which owns and operates Ascenty. A subsidiary of the Operating Partnership retained the remaining equity interest in the Ascenty joint venture. As of March 27, 2019, we deconsolidated Ascenty and recorded our retained interest as an investment in unconsolidated entities due to shared control with Brookfield.

## Industry Background

The digital economy continues to grow and change how enterprises across all industries create and deliver value. Companies increasingly need to operate ubiquitously, on-demand and with real-time intelligence serving customers, partners and employees across multiple channels, business functions and points of business presence. Computational processing power requirements continue to advance, data traffic is growing, and the volume of data that enterprises generate, transmit, process, analyze, monitor and manage is expanding dramatically. The Internet of Things, 5G, autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence, among other technological advancements, are driving this digital transformation.

We believe that enterprise data growth is accelerating due to the growing digital economy and emerging technological advances. As enterprises analyze and process this accelerating data mass, they create more data. As this mass of data continues to grow, it needs to be analyzed and processed: a task which we believe is becoming increasingly challenging to replicate and relocate. This phenomenon is called Data Gravity. We believe that enterprise decisionmakers will need to increasingly consider the impact of how Data Gravity impacts their enterprise IT architectures and, accordingly, we have developed the Data Gravity Index \( ^{TM} \) , a global forecast that measures the intensity and gravitational force of enterprise data growth.

As the largest global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, we believe the data center industry is poised for sustainable growth. The demand for data center infrastructure is being driven by this digital transformation which is contributing to the explosive growth of data, rapid growth of cloud adoption and greater demand for IT outsourcing. The power requirements and financial costs to support this growth in data, traffic and storage are substantial and growing accordingly. We believe data centers will continue to play a critical role in the digital economy and enabling business transformation strategies.

We believe cloud solutions and hybrid cloud solutions will remain significant drivers of demand for data center infrastructure. The hybrid cloud, which combines public and private cloud solutions, has gained traction because it enables corporate enterprises to achieve efficiencies and contain costs, as well as scale and secure their most sensitive information. In addition, the leading cloud service providers are generally mature, well-capitalized technology companies, and cloud platforms are among the fastest-growing business segments. Data center providers that can solve global coverage, capacity and connectivity needs, and coordinate and aggregate diverse customer and application demand, are poised to benefit from these cloud-specific industry drivers.

These diverse and secular industry dynamics are driving greater demand for data center capacity not only from global cloud service providers, but also from businesses across other industries, including IT service firms, social media, content providers and the financial services sector. As companies focus on their core competencies and rely on outsourcing to meet their IT infrastructure needs, they are prioritizing colocation for their data center solutions for various reasons, including to reduce latency in data transfer and increase global presence and connectivity. New technologies need a fast, reliable and flexible foundation to operate, and the importance of offering a full spectrum of power, space and connectivity solutions continues to grow.

## Our Business

We provide a global data center platform that supports our customers' digital infrastructure and enables our customers to interconnect with their customers and partners. We solve global coverage, capacity and connectivity needs for companies of all sizes, including the world's leading enterprises and services providers, through PlatformDIGITAL \( ^{®} \) , a global data center platform for scaling digital business which enables customers to deploy their critical infrastructure with a global data center provider.

PlatformDIGITAL \( ^{®} \)  combines our global presence with our Pervasive Data Center Architecture (PDx \( ^{TM} \) ) solution methodology for scaling digital business and efficiently managing data gravity challenges. Our global data center footprint gives customers access to the connected data communities that matter to them with 287 facilities in nearly 50 metros across 25 countries on six continents.



## Index to Financial Statements

Fundamentally, we bring together foundational real estate and innovative technology expertise around the world to deliver a comprehensive, dedicated product suite to meet customers' data and connectivity needs. We represent an important part of the digital economy that we believe will benefit from powerful, long-term growth drivers.

We believe that the growth trends in the data center market, technology, the cloud, internet traffic and internet-based services, combined with cost advantages in outsourcing data center requirements, provide attractive growth opportunities for us as a data center solutions provider. Leveraging deep expertise in technology and real estate, we have an expansive global footprint, impressive scale and a full-spectrum fit-for-purpose product offering in key metropolitan areas around the world. These advantages simplify the contracting process for multinational enterprises, eliminating their need to negotiate with multiple local data center solutions providers. In addition, in areas where high data center construction and operating costs and long time-to-market prohibit many of our customers from building their own data centers, our global footprint and scale allow us to meet our customers' needs quickly and efficiently.

## Our Data Center Portfolio

Our portfolio of high-quality data centers provides secure, highly connected and continuously available environments for the exchange, processing and storage of critical data. Data centers are used for digital communication, disaster recovery purposes, transaction processing and housing mission-critical corporate IT applications. Our internet gateway data centers are highly connected, network-dense facilities that serve as hubs for internet and data communications within and between major metropolitan areas. We believe internet gateways are extremely valuable, and a high-quality, highly interconnected global portfolio such as ours could not be easily replicated today on a cost-competitive basis.

We are diversified across major metropolitan areas characterized by a high concentration of connected end-users and technology companies. At December 31, 2021, we owned or had investments in properties, on a wholly-owned basis or through unconsolidated entities, in the following geographies:



Our portfolio contains a total of approximately 45.5 million square feet, including approximately 7.2 million square feet of space under active development and approximately 2.7 million square feet of space held for future development. The 50 data centers held as investments in unconsolidated entities have an aggregate of approximately 35.6 million rentable square feet. The 27 parcels of developable land we own comprise approximately 849 acres. A significant component of our current and future growth is expected to be generated through the development of our existing space held for development and acquisition of new properties. As of December 31, 2021, our portfolio, including the 50 data centers held as investments in unconsolidated entities and excluding space under active development and space held for future development, was approximately 83.6% leased. From time to time we may look to sell individual assets or portfolios of assets that we do not consider to be core to our business and growth strategy.

## Index to Financial Statements

Through strategic investments, we have expanded our footprint into Latin America, enhanced our data center offerings in strategic and complementary U.S. metropolitan areas, established our colocation and interconnection platform in the U.S. and expanded our colocation and interconnection platform in Europe and Africa, with each transaction enhancing our presence in top-tier locations throughout North America, Europe, Latin America and Africa.

The locations of and improvements to our data centers, the network density, interconnection infrastructure and connectivity-centric customers in certain of our facilities, and our comprehensive product offerings are critical to our customers' businesses, which we believe results in high occupancy levels, longer average lease terms and customer relationships, as well as lower turnover. In addition, many of our data centers contain significant improvements that have been installed at our customers' expense. The tenant improvements in our data centers are generally readily adaptable for use by similar customers.

Our data centers are physically secure, network-rich and equipped to meet the power and cooling requirements of smaller footprints up to the most demanding IT applications. Many of our data centers are located on major aggregation points formed by the physical presence of multiple major telecommunications service providers, which reduces our customers' costs and operational risks and enhances the attractiveness of our properties. In addition, our strategically located global data center campuses offer our customers the ability to expand their global footprint as their businesses grow, while our connectivity offerings on our campuses enhance the capabilities and attractiveness of these facilities. Further, the network density, interconnection infrastructure and connectivity-centric customers in certain of our data centers has led to the organic formation of densely connected data communities that are difficult for competitors to replicate and deliver added value to our customers.

## Our Diversified Product Offerings

We provide a flexible, global data center platform that allows our customers to tailor infrastructure deployments and controls matched to their business needs. Our data centers and comprehensive suite of product offerings are scalable to meet our customers' needs, from a single rack or cabinet up to multi-megawatt deployments, along with connectivity, connected data communities and solutions to support their hybrid cloud architecture requirements. Over the past few years, we have expanded our product mix to appeal to a broader spectrum of data center customers, especially those seeking to support a greater portion of their data center requirements through a single provider. Our Critical Facilities Management \( ^{®} \)  services and team of technical engineers and data center operations experts provide 24/7 support for these mission-critical facilities.

PlatformDIGITAL \( ^{®} \)  Solution Model. The PlatformDIGITAL \( ^{®} \)  solution model is based on our Pervasive Data Center Architecture (PDX \( ^{TM} \) ) strategy, which brings users, networks, clouds, controls and systems to the data, removing barriers, creating centers of data exchange to accommodate distributed workflows and scaling digital business.

The PlatformDIGITAL \( ^{®} \)  solution model is available in our colocation and Turn-Key Flex \( ^{®} \)  data centers, which are move-in ready, physically secure facilities with the power and cooling capabilities to support customers requiring a single rack or cabinet to multi-megawatt deployments. We believe our colocation and Turn-Key Flex \( ^{®} \)  facilities are effective solutions for customers who may lack the bandwidth, capital budget, expertise, or desire to provide their own extensive data center infrastructure, management, and security. We believe our offerings are also well-suited for those customers who seek to efficiently exchange data with others in our connected data communities, lowering their costs and creating value for their business. For customers who possess the ability to build and operate their own facility, our Powered Base Building \( ^{®} \)  solution provides the physical location, requisite power, and network access necessary to support a state-of-the-art data center.

Additionally, our data center campuses offer our customers the opportunity to expand in or near their existing deployments within our data center campuses.

Through investments and strategic partnerships, we have significantly expanded our capabilities as a leading provider of interconnection and cloud-enablement services globally. We believe interconnection is an attractive line of business that would be difficult to build organically and enhances the overall value proposition of our data center product offerings. Furthermore, through product offerings such as our Service Exchange and Interxion Cloud Connect and partnerships with cloud service providers, we can support our customers' hybrid cloud architecture requirements.

Our specialized data center salesforce, which is aligned to meet our customers' needs for global, enterprise and network solutions, provides a robust pipeline of new customers, while existing customers continue to grow and expand their utilization of our technology-enabled services to support a greater portion of their IT needs.

## Our Design and Construction Program

Our extensive development activity, operating scale and process-based approach to data center design and construction result in significant cost savings and added value for our customers. We have leveraged our purchasing power by securing global purchasing agreements and developing relationships with major equipment manufacturers, reducing costs and shortening delivery timeframes on key components, including major mechanical and electrical equipment. See "We and our customers may experience supply chain or procurement disruptions, or increased supply chain costs, which may lead to delays." in Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion. Utilizing our innovative modular data center design, we deliver what we believe to be a technically superior data center environment at significant cost savings. In addition, by utilizing our modular design architecture to develop new distributed redundant solutions in our existing Powered Base Building® facilities, on average we can deliver a fully commissioned standard design facility in under 30 weeks. Finally, our access to capital and investment-grade ratings allow us to provide data center solutions for customers who do not want to invest their own capital.

## Our Investment Approach

We have developed detailed, standardized procedures for evaluating acquisitions and investments, including income-producing properties as well as vacant buildings and land suitable for development, to ensure that they meet our strategic, financial, technical and other criteria. These procedures, together with our in-depth knowledge of the technology, data center and real estate industries, allow us to identify strategically located properties and evaluate investment opportunities efficiently and, as appropriate, commit and close quickly. Our investment-grade ratings, along with our broad network of contacts within the data center industry, enable us to effectively capitalize on acquisition and investment opportunities.

## Our Management Team and Organization

Our senior management team has many years of experience in the technology and/or real estate industries, including experience as investors in and advisors to technology companies. We believe that our senior management team's extensive knowledge of both the technology and the real estate industries provides us with a key competitive advantage. Further, a significant portion of compensation for our senior management team and directors is in the form of common equity interests in our Company. We also maintain minimum stock ownership requirements for our senior management team and directors, further aligning their interests with those of external stockholders, as well as an employee stock purchase plan, which encourages our employees to increase their ownership in the Company.

## Our Business and Growth Strategies

Our primary business objectives are to maximize: (i) sustainable long-term growth in earnings and funds from operations per share and unit, (ii) cash flow and returns to our stockholders and our Operating Partnership's unitholders through the payment of dividends and distributions and (iii) return on invested capital. We expect to accomplish these objectives by achieving superior risk-adjusted returns, prudently allocating capital, diversifying our product offerings, accelerating our global reach and scale, and driving revenue growth and operating efficiencies.

Superior Risk-Adjusted Returns. We believe that achieving appropriate risk-adjusted returns on our business, including on our development pipeline and leasing transactions, will deliver superior stockholder returns. We may continue to build out our development pipeline when justified by anticipated returns. We have established robust internal guidelines for reviewing and approving leasing transactions, which we believe will drive risk-adjusted returns. We also believe that providing an even stronger value proposition to our customers, including new and more comprehensive product offerings, as well as continuing to improve operational efficiencies, will further drive improved returns for our business.

Prudently Allocate Capital. We believe that the strategic deployment of capital at sufficiently positive spreads above our cost of capital enables us to increase cash flow and create long-term stockholder value.

Strategic and Complementary Investments. We have developed significant expertise at underwriting, financing and executing data center investment opportunities. We employ a collaborative approach to deal analysis, risk management and asset allocation, focusing on key elements, such as market fundamentals, accessibility to fiber and power, and the local regulatory environment. In addition, the specialized nature of data centers makes these investment opportunities more difficult for traditional real estate investors to underwrite, resulting in reduced competition for investments relative to other property types. We believe this dynamic creates an opportunity for us to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns on our capital.

Preserve the Flexibility of Our Balance Sheet. We are committed to maintaining a conservative capital structure. We target a debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio at or less than 5.5x, fixed charge coverage of greater than three times, and floating rate debt at less than 20% of total outstanding debt. In addition, we strive to maintain a well-laddered debt maturity schedule, and we seek to maximize the menu of our available sources of capital, while minimizing the related cost. Since Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s initial public offering in 2004, we have raised approximately $53.1 billion of capital through common (excluding forward contracts), preferred and convertible preferred equity offerings, exchangeable debt offerings, non-exchangeable bond offerings, our global revolving credit facilities, our term loan facility, a senior notes shelf facility, secured mortgage financings and re-financings, joint venture partnerships and the sale of non-core assets. We endeavor to maintain financial flexibility while using our liquidity and access to capital to support operations, our acquisition, investment, leasing and development programs and global campus expansion, which are important sources of our growth.

We believe that the platform, through which we offer the foundational services of space, power and connectivity, will enable our customers and partners to serve their customers and grow their businesses. We believe our Internet gateway data centers, individual data centers and data center campuses are attractive to a wide variety of customers and partners of all sizes. Furthermore, we believe our colocation and interconnection offerings, as well as the densely connected communities of interest that have developed within our facilities, and the availability and scalability of our comprehensive suite of products are valuable and critical to our customers and partners.

Accelerate Global Reach and Scale. We have strategically pursued international expansion since our IPO in 2004 and now operate across six continents. We believe that our global multi-product data center portfolio is a foundational element of our strategy and our scale and global platform represent key competitive advantages difficult to replicate. Customers and competitors are recognizing the value of interconnected scale, which aligns with our connected campus strategy that enables customers to "land and expand" with us. We expect to continue to source and execute strategic and complementary transactions to strengthen our data center portfolio, expand our global footprint and product mix, and enhance our scale.

Drive Revenue Growth and Operating Efficiencies. We aggressively manage our properties to maximize cash flow and control costs by leveraging our scale to drive operating efficiencies.

Leverage Strong Industry Relationships. Our global market leadership position and strong industry relationships provide us with a unique vantage point to detect and capitalize on secular trends as they emerge globally. We focus our industry relationship efforts towards market sensing, market shaping and helping to set open standards that benefit companies of all types to derive value from digital infrastructure and multi-tenant datacenters. Industry collaboration includes engagements with industry associations, IT industry analysts, venture capitalists, technology incubators, technology service providers, telecommunications providers, systems integrators and large multi-national companies across segments including manufacturing, transportation & logistics, financial services, healthcare, pharmaceutical and digital media. These relationships help us forge new product capabilities, inform investment decisions, develop new routes to market and create differentiated value for customers and drive long-term growth and yield for shareholders.

Maximize Cash Flow. We often acquire operating properties with substantial in-place cash flow and some vacancy, which enables us to create upside through lease-up. We control our costs by negotiating expense pass-through provisions in customer agreements for operating expenses, including power costs and certain capital expenditure. We have also focused on centralizing functions and optimizing operations as well as improving processes and technologies. We believe that expanding our global data center campuses will also contribute to operating efficiencies because we expect to achieve economies of scale on our campus environments.

Sustainability. We believe that addressing sustainability by driving environmental efficiency through the implementation of cost-effective design features and the use of carbon-free and renewable energy serves as a key differentiator enabling us to deliver products that help attract and retain customers, generate cash flow, and manage operational risks. In 2021, for the fifth consecutive year, we received the Nareit "Leader in the Light" award for data centers, recognizing our sustainability and energy-efficiency achievements. In 2021, we allocated €1.83 billion in net proceeds from our green bonds and issued two additional green bonds (€1.0 billion and CHF545 million) to allocate to green buildings, energy efficiency improvements, and renewable energy.

The Real Estate Sustainability Accounting Standard guidance, issued by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB"), outlines proposed disclosure topics and accounting metrics for the real estate industry. We provide data on energy and water management metrics that we believe best correlate with our business and industry as indicated in the following sections. Energy and water data receive third party assurance as part of our annual environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") report development process.

(1) Excludes non-stabilized assets, Powered Base Building space, space under active development, space held for development, non-managed assets, and space held in unconsolidated entities.

## c) Energy management considerations

Energy and resource management considerations are integrated into our business decisions and strategy. For our operating portfolio, annual capital expense investment planning identifies and evaluates resource efficiency project opportunities alongside non-resource-impacting capital investments. For acquisitions and new development activity, resiliency risks, resource availability, and renewable energy access are considered. Our design and construction process is intended to incorporate sustainable features that support resource efficiency during construction as well as during the operational lifecycle of the sites.

We seek to proactively identify and support opportunities to efficiently utilize resources, such as energy and water, throughout our operating portfolio. We have a target to reduce global colocation power usage effectiveness (PUE) 10% by 2022 from a 2017 baseline and we surpassed this goal in 2020 by achieving an 11% reduction. We also had a target to reduce PUE for our Intercon portfolio 5% by 2020 from a 2017 baseline and we surpassed this goal by achieving a 6% reduction in 2020. These goals reflect targets established prior to the Digital Reality and Intercon combination. 24 of our data centers in EMEA participate in the European Union's Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centers, a voluntary initiative which addresses airflow management, cooling system efficiency and capital plant replacement.

Globally, we conduct external technical building assessments as well as utilize ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manage scores to prioritize efficiency opportunities. Energy efficiency measures implemented typically involve HVAC and lighting-related improvements and building commissioning. In 2020, energy efficiency measures implemented totaled over 21,800 MWh in projected energy savings.

We set a global carbon reduction target that has been validated by the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions 68% per square foot and Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and fuel- and energy-related activities 24% per square foot by 2030, from a 2018 baseline. Additionally, we are a signatory to the EU Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, a Self-Regulatory Initiative committing to climate neutrality by 2030 and setting additional goals around energy efficiency, carbon-free energy sourcing, water conservation and waste heat recycling. We continue to match 100% of our European portfolio and US colocation business unit with renewable energy. Our US renewable energy purchase agreements produced 1.01 million MWh of renewable energy credits in 2020.

We implement ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 50001 (Energy Management) to measure, manage and improve the energy and environmental performance of our data centers. In 2020, 46% of our global portfolio had ISO 14001 certifications and 28% of our global portfolio was covered under ISO 50001. Additionally, 100% of our Singapore portfolio was certified under the SS64 Green Data Centres standard for Energy and Environmental Management Systems.

(4) Scope of data is aligned with the 2020 GRESB Real Estate Assessment Reference Guide (“Like-for-like Comparison”).

## b) Water Management Risks and Mitigation Strategies

Some of our assets are in regions of high or extremely high baseline water stress and may face future risk of water scarcity, higher water costs, and regulatory constraints on water consumption. We consider water availability, cost, and alternate supply solutions to potable water such as municipally supplied non-potable reclaimed water, which accounted for 43% of our total water usage in 2020. We also consider cooling system designs to maximize 'free cooling' and reduce or eliminate reliance on access to water for cooling. Our Global Water Strategy addresses the strategic role that water plays in our operations, identifies regions where water quality and scarcity pose the greatest interruption risk to our business, and creates a pipeline of projects and opportunities to advance our position with respect to water conservation, resiliency, and redundancy in our operations.

(3) Excludes unconsolidated entities, vacant space, space held for development, space under active development, and non-technical space. Water use is predominantly driven by shared cooling infrastructure, common areas, and exterior landscape irrigation and is not separately metered.

## b) Approach to measuring, incentivizing and improving sustainability impacts of tenants

We seek to incorporate “green lease” language into agreements with new customers where energy is separately metered, and we endeavor to incorporate green lease language into renewals. We launched our green lease program for applicable contract types to better align interests between landlord and tenants to incentivize energy and resource efficiency investments, share energy and water usage data, streamline renewable energy procurement and support sustainable building certifications.

## Climate Change Adaptation

## a) Properties located in 100-Year Flood Zones

Eight U.S. data centers totaling about 2.08 million square feet are exposed to 100-year flood zones designated by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA") as special flood hazard areas ("SFHA"). No other non-U.S. sites are in 100-year flood zones or similar high hazard locations.

## b) Climate Change Risks and Mitigation Strategies

We evaluate potential risks and opportunities as a result of climate change and have implemented strategies to mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities. Climate change risks that we have identified include acute and chronic physical risks, as well as transition risks such as market, policy, reputational, and technology risks. Management of climate-related risks and opportunities is a company-wide priority, delivered through an interdisciplinary effort with contributions from our global operations team, risk management, environmental occupational health and safety, compliance, information security, physical security and other functions, with oversight by our Executive Leadership Team and governed by our Board of Directors. We manage potential risks first via our sitting and design standards, then by implementing recommendations to proactively mitigate losses related to short-term acute weather events as well as long-term climate-related events. Climate resilience measures include maintaining appropriate levels of insurance for each asset, performing climate risk scenario analyses for a sample selection of our global portfolio, and implementing operational risk reduction measures at the site level. We continue to align our ESG Report with the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board's Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") to disclose specific climate-related financial risks and opportunities, mitigation strategies, and associated metrics and targets.

## Competition

We compete with numerous data center providers globally, many of whom own or operate properties similar to ours in some of the same metropolitan areas where our data centers are located, including Equinix, Inc. and NTT; Switch, Inc. and various private operators in the U.S.; as well as Global Switch Holdings Limited and various regional operators in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia. See "We face significant competition, which may adversely affect the occupancy and rental rates of our data centers." in Item 1A. Risk Factors.

## Regulation

## General

Our properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas. We believe each of our properties as of December 31, 2021 has the necessary permits and approvals to operate.

## Americans with Disabilities Act

Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. We believe our properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. However, non-compliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make accommodations in accordance with the ADA, as well as other applicable laws and regulations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and make alterations as appropriate in this respect. See “We may incur significant costs complying with applicable laws and governmental regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.” in Item 1A. Risk Factors.

## Environmental Matters

We are exposed to various environmental risks that may result in unanticipated losses and could affect our operating results and financial condition. Either the previous owners or we have conducted environmental reviews on a majority of the properties we have acquired, including land. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of the environmental assessments have revealed an environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. See "We could incur significant costs related to environmental matters, including from government regulation, private litigation, and existing conditions at some of our properties." in Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion.

Climate change legislation. In June 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives approved comprehensive clean energy and climate change legislation intended to cut greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions, via a cap-and-trade program. The U.S. Senate did not subsequently pass similar legislation.

In the absence of comprehensive federal climate change legislation, regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and states have taken the lead in regulating GHG emissions in the U.S. Under the Obama administration, from 2009 through 2016, the EPA moved aggressively to regulate GHG emissions from automobiles and large stationary sources, including electricity producers, using its authority under the Clean Air Act. From 2017 through 2020, the Trump administration moved to eliminate or modify certain of the EPA's GHG emissions regulations and refocus the EPA's mission away from such regulation. However, the Biden administration has described climate change regulation as a top priority, announcing in April 2021 a target of reducing net U.S. GHG emissions by 50-52 percent from 2005 levels by 2030.

The EPA made an endangerment finding in 2019 that allows it to create regulations imposing emissions reporting, permitting, control technology installation, and monitoring requirements applicable to certain emitters of GHGs, including facilities that provide electricity to our data centers, although the materiality of the impacts will not be fully known until all regulations are finalized and legal challenges are resolved. Under the Obama administration, the EPA finalized rules imposing permitting and control technology requirements upon certain newly-constructed or modified facilities which emit GHGs under the Clean Air Act New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration, or NSR PSD, and Title V permitting programs. As a result, newly-issued NSR PSD and Title V permits for new or modified electricity generating units (EGUs) and other facilities may need to address GHG emissions, including by requiring the installation of "Best Available Control Technology." The EPA also implemented in December 2015 the "Clean Power Plan" regulating carbon dioxide (CO \( _{2} \) ) emissions from coal-fired and natural gas EGUs. However, in June 2019 the EPA repealed the Clean Power Plan and issued the "Affordable Clean Energy Rule" to replace the Clean Power Plan. The Affordable Clean Energy Rule requires heat rate efficiency improvements at certain EGUs, but does not place numeric limits on EGU emissions. In January 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated both the Affordable Clean Energy Rule and the Clean Power Plan repeal rule, and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal of this ruling. In fall 2021, the EPA announced plans to propose in summer 2022 a new rule regulating GHG emissions from existing power plants. Separately, the EPA's GHG "reporting rule" requires that certain emitters, including electricity generators, monitor and report GHG emissions.

As a result of the former Trump administration policies, states have been driving regulation to reduce GHG emissions in the United States. At the state level, California implemented a GHG cap-and-trade program that began imposing compliance obligations on industrial sectors, including electricity generators and importers, in January 2013. In September 2016, California adopted legislation calling for a further reduction in GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, and in July 2017, California extended its cap-and-trade program through 2030. In September 2018, California adopted legislation that will require all of the state's electricity to come from carbon-free sources by 2045. As other examples of state action, in May 2021, Washington passed a law capping GHG emissions from electricity generators and other entities, and in December 2021 Oregon adopted a GHG cap-and-trade program. Additionally, a number of states have adopted Renewable Portfolio Standards to increase the use of renewable energy, and a number of eastern states participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a market-based program aimed at reducing GHG emissions from power plants.

Outside the United States, the European Union, or EU (as well as the United Kingdom), have been operating since 2005 under a cap-and-trade program, which directly affects the largest emitters of GHGs, including electricity producers from whom we purchase power, and the EU has taken a number of other climate change-related initiatives, including a directive targeted at improving energy efficiency (which introduces energy efficiency auditing requirements). In December 2019, EU leaders endorsed the objective of achieving by 2050 a climate-neutral EU, with net-zero GHG emissions, and in July 2021 the European Commission adopted the European Climate Law to write this goal into the law. The European Climate Law includes a 2030 GHG reduction target of at least 55% below 1990 levels. In July 2021 the European Commission also adopted a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism to institute a carbon import tax, which covers electricity imports. National legislation may also be implemented independently by members of the EU. It is not

yet clear how Brexit will impact the United Kingdom’s approach to climate change regulation; the United Kingdom adopted a target of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.

The Paris Agreement, which was adopted by the United States and 194 other countries and looks to prevent global average temperatures from increasing by more than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, went into force in November 2016. President Trump announced in June 2017 that he would initiate the process to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement; however, upon his inauguration in January 2021, President Biden signed an order rejoining the Paris Agreement.

The Canadian Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act established a carbon-pricing regime that went into effect in January 2019 for provinces and territories in Canada where there is no provincial system in place already, or where the provincial system does not meet the federal benchmark. The act was challenged in court and upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada in March 2021. Climate change regulations are also in various stages of implementation in other nations as well, including nations where we operate, such as Japan, Singapore, and Australia.

## Insurance

We carry commercial general liability, property, and business interruption insurance, including rental income loss coverage on all of the properties in our portfolio under a blanket program. We select policy specifications and insured limits which we believe to be appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of coverage, and industry practice. We believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsured exposures such as loss from war or nuclear reaction. In addition, we carry earthquake insurance on our properties in an amount and with deductibles we believe are commercially reasonable. We intend to partially fund the earthquake insurance deductibles through a captive insurance company we established. Certain of the properties in our portfolio are located in areas known to be seismically active. See “Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.” in Item 1A. Risk Factors.

## Human Capital Resource Management

As of December 31, 2021, we had 3,030 full-time employees. The geographic distribution of our global employee base as of December 31, 2021 is summarized in the following table.

<table><tr><td>Region</td><td>Number of Employees</td></tr><tr><td>North America</td><td>1,393</td></tr><tr><td>Europe</td><td>1,481</td></tr><tr><td>Asia Pacific</td><td>156</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>3,030</td></tr></table>

## Compensation, Benefits and Employee Wellbeing

To attract and retain the best-qualified talent and to help our employees maintain healthy and balanced lives, and meet their financial and retirement goals, we offer competitive benefits, including market-competitive compensation, healthcare, flexible vacation, parental leave, 401(k) company match, an employee stock purchase plan, fitness reimbursement program, commuter benefits, tuition reimbursement, employee skills development and leadership development. Employee surveys are conducted regularly to solicit feedback and to help prioritize and improve employee engagement.

We also encourage our employees to give back to the community by matching their contributions to eligible charitable organizations through our Matching Gifts Program. Additionally, our Donate & Program grants paid time off each year to employees for the purpose of volunteering for eligible organizations. We also sponsor and support the Women's Leadership Forum, the Black Employee Resource Group, Digital Pride, the Hispanic Employee Resource Group, and the Veterans Employee Group, which promote a diverse and inclusive network to grow and deliver the next wave of digital innovation.

We prioritize providing programs and benefits that promote healthy and productive lifestyles. We offer a company-wide wellness program, Wellness@Digital, that serves to invest in the health, fitness, financial wellness and overall quality of life for our employees. We implement wellness challenges that promote physical activity and an active lifestyle, with additional price incentivizes for winners of the challenges.

During 2021, we sought to play an active role in supporting the communities we operate in across North America, EMEA and APAC. This included companywide giving focused on our four areas of philanthropic focus (disaster relief, STEM, sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion).

## Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

It is our Company’s policy to recruit talent based on skill, knowledge, attitude and experience, without discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, age, family status, ethnic origin, nationality, disability or religious belief. In 2020, we formally launched our DEI Employee Leadership Council to assess the current state of our diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) initiatives beyond the Women’s Leadership Forum and Veteran’s employee resource groups. The Council identifies future opportunities for progress, formulates a cohesive strategy, and ultimately leads our global DEI effort. The DEI Council is led by employees spanning various management levels and global regions with program support from our executive management team. Since 2020, the Company has launched three new employee resource groups (ERCs)—Digital Pride (LGBTQI+), the Black ERG, and the Hispanic ERG. Today, more than 500 employees globally are members of Digital Realty’s ERGs.

Digital Realty’s DEI focus and work is set with the “tone from the top” from Chief Executive Officer A. William Stein. He has signed the CEO Action Pledge for Diversity & Inclusion, the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Mr. Stein is Co-Chair of Nareit’s Dividends through Diversity, Equity & Inclusion CEO Council, seeking to advance diversity and inclusion throughout our industry. In 2021, we published our EEO-1 report, providing transparency on the racial and gender composition of our U.S. workforce. We disclose our DEI strategy and initiatives annually in our ESG Report.

## COVID-19 Health and Safety

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have maintained a number of health and safety measures to enable our operations teams to continue to work from our data centers and construction sites. We require social distancing in accordance with the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health agency guidelines, have made modifications to our facilities, including posting signage detailing health and safety protocols, engage in regular sanitation, and require all visitors and employees to wear facial coverings. We have also modified staffing levels to avoid potential cross contamination among teams, and have instituted customer, employee and visitor screening. Together with our operations teams, we have implemented innovative approaches to maintain our high standards of customer service, including virtual data center tours to ensure that activities typically accomplished on-site or in-person continued throughout periods of reduced travel. Our non-essential and corporate personnel adopted a work-from-home approach beginning in March 2020, which has continued without significant impacts to productivity. In January 2022, we began to reopen various offices allowing corporate employees to create hybrid work schedules. Refer to the discussion in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis for further information related to the impact of the pandemic on our business.

## Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

## Our business and operations, and our customers, suppliers and business partners may be adversely affected by epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks.

Epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus that affect countries or regions in which we or our customers, suppliers or business partners operate, and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, may have a material and adverse impact on general commercial activity and on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and creditworthiness. Epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus could result in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of such illness, disease or virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions, manufacturing restrictions, declarations of states of emergency, business shutdowns, prioritization and allocation of resources, and restrictions on the movement of our employees and those of our customers, suppliers and business partners on which we rely, which could adversely affect our ability and their respective abilities to adequately manage our respective businesses. Risks related to epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our offices or properties or our customers', suppliers' or business partners' businesses, or otherwise result in significant disruptions to our business and operations or theirs. Such events could materially and adversely impact our operations and the rental revenue we generate from our agreements with our customers or could result in defaults by our customers.

As with COVID-19, we may institute policies requiring employees to work remotely in certain cases and such policies may remain in place for an indeterminate amount of time or may be made mandatory by relevant government authorities. There can be no assurance that remote working arrangements will be as effective as an office environment. Moreover, pandemics or outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus could disrupt our supply chain and development activities, which could impact our ability to meet delivery timelines, including delivery timelines to our customers, and lead to delays, potential penalties that we may be required to pay and potential terminations of agreements by our customers. If any such delay or disruption were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition. In



## Index to Financial Statements

addition, risks related to epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus may adversely affect the economies in impacted countries, including in locations where we operate, and the global financial markets, including the global debt and equity capital markets, may experience significant volatility, potentially leading to an economic downturn that could adversely affect our and our customers', suppliers' and business partners' respective businesses, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. We have in the past and expect in the future to rely on the availability of debt and equity capital to grow our business; however, there can be no assurance that such capital will be available to us going forward on acceptable terms or at all. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other outbreak of an illness, disease or virus on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of epidemics, pandemics or other outbreaks of an illness, disease or virus could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.

In particular, the global spread of COVID-19 and the various attempts to contain it have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and federal and local governments, including in locations where we operate, have responded by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, restrictions on the types of business that may continue to operate, and restrictions on various construction projects. In response to government mandates, health care advisories and otherwise responding to employee and vendor concerns, we have altered certain aspects of our operations. Our workforce, excluding our critical data center employees, is working from home, which may impact their productivity. We have also experienced delays in construction activity in a few of our markets due to government restrictions in specific locations and as a result of availability of labor and these delays are impacting some of our anticipated deliveries to our customers. We may continue to experience delays in construction activity, even after these restrictions are eased or lifted, due to increased safety protocols implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, we cannot predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our customers, suppliers and other business partners; however, any material effect on these parties could adversely impact us. While we did not have any material adjustments to amounts as of and during the year ended December 31, 2021, circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially result in recording impairments, lease modifications and credit losses in future periods.

While we did not experience significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the year ended December 31, 2021 nor as of the date of this report, we cannot predict what impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals' actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the availability of and cost to access the capital markets; the effect on our customers and customer demand for and ability to pay for our services; the impact on our development projects; and disruptions or restrictions on our employees' ability to work and travel. Furthermore, we cannot predict whether additional restrictions will be implemented or how long they will be in effect. Although some governments have begun to ease or lift these restrictions, the impacts from the severe disruptions caused by the effective shutdown of large segments of the global economy remain unknown.

## Our business depends upon the demand for data centers.

We are in the business of owning, acquiring, developing and operating data centers. A reduction in the demand for data center space, power or connectivity would have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a portfolio with a less specialized use. Our substantial development activities make us particularly susceptible to general economic slowdowns as well as adverse developments in the data center, Internet and data communications and broader technology industries. Any such slowdown or adverse development could lead to reduced corporate IT spending or reduced demand for data center space. Reduced demand could also result from business relocations, including to metropolitan areas that we do not currently serve. Changes in industry practice or in technology could also reduce demand for the physical data center space we provide. In addition, our customers may choose to develop new data centers or expand their own existing data centers or consolidate into data centers that we do not own or operate, which could reduce demand for our newly developed data centers or result in the loss of one or more key customers. If



## Index to Financial Statements

any of our key customers were to do so, it could result in a loss of business to us or put pressure on our pricing. Mergers or consolidations of technology companies could reduce further the number of our customers and potential customers and make us more dependent on a more limited number of customers. If our customers merge with or are acquired by other entities that are not our customers, they may discontinue or reduce the use of our data centers in the future. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected as a result of any or all of these factors.

## We face significant competition, which may adversely affect the occupancy and rental rates of our data centers.

We compete with numerous data center providers globally, many of whom own or operate properties similar to ours in some of the same metropolitan areas where our data centers are located, including Equinix, Inc. and NTT; Switch, Inc. and various private operators in the U.S.; as well as Global Switch Holdings Limited and various regional operators in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia. In addition, we may in the future face competition from new entrants into the data center market, including new entrants who may acquire our current competitors. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have significant advantages over us, including greater name recognition, longer operating histories, pre-existing relationships with current or potential customers, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and more ready access to capital which allow them to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities.

If our competitors offer space that our customers or potential customers perceive to be superior to ours based on factors such as available power, security, location, or connectivity, or if they offer rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we are offering, we may lose customers or potential customers or be required to incur costs to improve our data centers or reduce our rental rates. In addition, recently many of our competitors have developed and continue to develop additional data center space. If the supply of data center space continues to increase as a result of these activities or otherwise, rental rates may be reduced or we may face delays in leasing or be unable to lease our vacant space, including space that we develop. Further, if customers or potential customers desire services that we do not offer, we may not be able to lease our space to those customers. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected as a result of any or all of these factors.

## Any failure of our physical or information technology or operational technology infrastructure or services could lead to significant costs and disruptions.

Our business depends on providing customers with highly reliable services, including with respect to power supply, physical security and maintenance of environmental conditions. We may fail to provide such service as a result of numerous factors, including mechanical failure, power outage, human error, physical or electronic security breaches, war, terrorism, fire, earthquake, pandemics, hurricane, flood and other natural disasters, sabotage and vandalism. Our systems may be susceptible to damage, interference, or interruption from modifications or upgrades, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, ransomware attacks, computer denial of service attacks, phishing schemes, or other attempts to harm or access our systems.

Problems at one or more of our data centers, whether or not within our control, could result in service interruptions or equipment damage. Substantially all of our customer agreements include terms requiring us to meet certain service level commitments to our customers. Any failure to meet these or other commitments or any equipment damage in our data centers, including as a result of mechanical failure, power outage, human error or other reasons, could subject us to liability under the terms of our customer agreements, including service level credits against customer rent payments, monetary damages, or, in certain cases of repeated failures, the right by the customer to terminate the agreement. Service interruptions, equipment failures or security breaches may also expose us to additional legal liability and monetary damages and damage our brand and reputation, and could cause our customers to terminate or not renew their agreements. In addition, we may be unable to attract new customers if we have a reputation for service disruptions, equipment failures or physical or electronic security breaches in our data centers. Any such failures could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

## We may be vulnerable to breaches, or unauthorized access to, or disruption of our physical and information technology and operational technology infrastructure and systems.

Security breaches, or disruption, of our or our customers' physical or information technology or operational technology infrastructure, networks and related management systems and controls could result in, among other things, unauthorized



## Index to Financial Statements

access to our facilities, a breach of our and our customers' networks and information technology infrastructure, the misappropriation of our or our customers' or their customers' proprietary or confidential information, interruptions or malfunctions in our or our customers' operations, delays or interruptions to our ability to meet customer needs, breach of our legal, regulatory or contractual obligations, inability to access or rely upon critical business records or other disruptions in our operations. We may be required to expend significant financial resources to protect against or to remediate such security breaches. We may not be able to implement security measures in a timely manner or, if and when implemented, these measures could be circumvented. Any breaches that may occur could expose us to increased risk of lawsuits, material monetary damages, potential violations of applicable privacy and other laws, penalties and fines, loss of existing or potential customers, harm to our reputation and increases in our security and insurance costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although our customers' computing equipment resides in our buildings, we generally do not have access to, nor do we have knowledge of, what applications and data are being housed and processed on their equipment. In certain instances, we provide digital infrastructure and platforms as a service to our customers, which increases the risk of loss of data, and we may expand these aspects of our business. In the event of a breach resulting in loss of data, such as personally identifiable information or other such data protected by data privacy or other laws, we may be liable for damages, fines and penalties for such losses under applicable regulatory frameworks despite not handling the data. Further, the regulatory framework around data custody, data privacy and breaches varies by jurisdiction and is an evolving area of law. For example, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and any subsequent amended versions of it, and similar regulations that apply to our business globally may have significant impact on our compliance frameworks and operations. If we fail to comply with these various regulations, we may have to pay fines or damages. We may not be able to limit our liability or damages in the event of such a loss.

We have made, and continue to make, investments to update and modernize our information technology systems and expect such investments to continue in order to meet our business needs, including for ongoing improvements for our customer experience. Additionally, as part of our global platform strategy, we have acquired and invested in, and continue to acquire and invest in, businesses and operations globally, including in new regions with complex and evolving regulatory frameworks and different risk profiles. Transitioning to new or upgraded systems, and integrating acquired networks and data, can create difficulties, including potential disruptions to current processes and cybersecurity complexities. In addition, our information technology systems may require further modification as we grow and as our business needs change, which could prolong difficulties we experience with such transitions and integrations. Such significant investments in our systems may take longer to deploy and cost more than originally planned. In addition, we may not realize the full benefits we hoped to achieve, and we may need to expend significant attention, time and resources to correct problems or find alternative sources for performing various functions. Difficulties in implementing new or upgraded information or operational technology systems or significant system failures or delays or the failure to successfully modify our systems and respond to changes in our business needs could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We depend on significant customers, and many of our data centers are single-tenant properties or are currently occupied by single tenants.

As of December 31, 2021, the 20 largest customers in our portfolio represented approximately 49.2% of the total annualized recurring revenue generated by our properties. Our top three customers represented approximately 17.5% of the total annualized recurring revenue generated by our properties as of December 31, 2021. In addition, 44% of our 287 data centers are occupied by single customers, including data centers occupied solely by our top three customers. Many factors, including global economic conditions, may cause our customers to experience a downturn in their businesses or otherwise experience a lack of liquidity, which may weaken their financial condition and impact our estimates as to the probability of collectability of payments, and ultimately result in their failure to make timely rental and other payments or their default under their agreements with us. Further, the development of new technologies, the adoption of new industry standards or other factors could render many of our customers' current products and services obsolete or unmarketable and contribute to a downturn in their businesses, thereby increasing the likelihood that they default under their leases, become insolvent or file for bankruptcy. If any customer defaults or fails to make timely rent or other payments, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.



## Index to Financial Statements

If any customer becomes a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, we cannot evict the customer solely because of the bankruptcy. In addition, the bankruptcy court might authorize the customer to reject and terminate its contracts with us. Our claim against the customer for unpaid, future rent and other payments would be subject to a statutory cap that might be substantially less than the remaining amounts actually owed under their agreements with us. In either case, our claim for unpaid rent and other amounts would likely not be paid in full. Our revenue and cash available for distribution could be materially adversely affected if any of our significant customers were to become bankrupt or insolvent, suffer a downturn in their businesses, fail to renew their contracts or renew on terms less favorable to us than their current terms. As of February 25, 2022, we had no material customers in bankruptcy.

Failure to attract, grow and retain a diverse and balanced customer base, including key magnet customers, could harm our business and operating results.

Our ability to attract, grow and retain a diverse and balanced customer base, consisting of enterprises, cloud service providers, network service providers, and digital economy customers, some of which we consider to be key magnets drawing in other customers, may affect our ability to maximize our revenues. Dense and desirable customer concentrations within a facility enable us to better generate significant interconnection revenues, which in turn increases our overall revenues. Our ability to attract customers to our data centers will depend on a variety of factors, including our product offerings, the presence of carriers, the overall mix of customers, the presence of key customers attracting business through ecosystems, the data center's operating reliability and security and our ability to effectively market our product offerings. Our inability to develop, provide or effectively execute any of these factors may hinder the development, growth and retention of a diverse and balanced customer base and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

## Our contracts with our customers could subject us to significant liability.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements with our customers pursuant to which we provide data center space, power, environmental controls, physical security and connectivity products to our customers. These contracts typically contain indemnification and liability provisions, in addition to service level commitments, which could potentially impose a significant cost on us in the event of losses arising out of certain breaches of such agreements, services to be provided by us or our subcontractors or from third-party claims. Customers increasingly are looking to pass through their regulatory obligations and other liabilities to their outsourced data center providers and we may not be able to limit our liability or damages in an event of loss suffered by such customers whether as a result of our breach of an agreement or otherwise. Further, liabilities and standards for damages and enforcement actions, including the regulatory framework applicable to different types of losses, vary by jurisdiction, and we may be subject to greater liability for certain losses in certain jurisdictions. Additionally, in connection with our acquisitions, we have assumed existing agreements with customers that may subject us to greater liability for such an event of loss. If such an event of loss occurred, we could be liable for material monetary damages and could incur significant legal fees in defending against such an action, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

## Certain of our customer agreements may include restrictions on the sale of our properties to certain third parties, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Certain of our customer agreements may prohibit us from selling certain properties to a third party unless specified conditions are met. The existence of such restrictions could hinder our ability to sell one or more of these properties, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

## Our data centers may not be suitable for re-leasing without significant expenditures or renovations.

Because many of our data centers contain tenant improvements installed at our customers' expense, they may be better suited for a specific data center user or technology industry customer and could require significant modification in order for us to re-lease vacant space to another data center user or technology industry customer. The tenant improvements may also become outdated or obsolete as the result of technological change, the passage of time or other factors. In addition, our development space will generally require substantial improvement to be suitable for data center use. For the same reason, our properties also may not be suitable for leasing to traditional office customers without significant expenditures or renovations.

As a result, we may be required to invest significant amounts or offer significant discounts to customers in order to lease or re-lease that space, either of which could adversely affect our financial and operating results.



## Index to Financial Statements

## We may be unable to lease vacant or development space, renew leases, or re-lease space as leases expire.

At December 31, 2021, we owned approximately 7.2 million square feet of space under active development and approximately 2.7 million square feet of space held for future development. We intend to continue to add new space to our development inventory and to continue to develop additional space from this inventory. A portion of the space that we develop has been, and may continue to be, developed on a speculative basis, meaning that we do not have a signed customer agreement for the space when we begin the development process. We also develop space specifically for customers pursuant to agreements signed prior to beginning the development process. In those cases, if we fail to meet our development obligations under those agreements, these customers may be able to terminate the agreements and we would be required to find a new customer for this space. In addition, in certain circumstances we lease data center facilities prior to their completion. If we fail to complete the facilities in a timely manner, the customer may be entitled to terminate its agreement, seek damages or penalties against us or pursue other remedies and we may be required to find a new customer for the space. We cannot assure you that once we have developed space or land we will be able to successfully lease it at all, or at rates we consider favorable or expected at the time we commenced development. Further, once development of a data center facility is complete, we incur certain operating expenses even if there are no customers occupying any space. If we are not able to complete development in a timely manner or successfully lease the space that we develop, if development costs are higher than we currently estimate, or if rental rates are lower than expected when we began the project or are otherwise undesirable, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, as of December 31, 2021, customer agreements representing 23.8% of the square footage of the properties in our portfolio, excluding month-to-month leases and space held for development, were scheduled to expire through 2023, and an additional 17.2% of the net rentable square footage, excluding space held for development, was available to be leased. Some of this space may require substantial capital investment to meet the power and cooling requirements of our customers, or may no longer be suitable for their needs. In addition, we cannot assure you that customer agreements will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased at all, or at net effective rental rates equal to or above the current average net effective rental rates. If the rental rates for our properties decrease, our existing customers do not renew their agreements, we do not lease or re-lease our available space, including newly developed space and space for which customer agreements are scheduled to expire, or it takes longer for us to lease or re-lease this space or for rents to commence on this space, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

Additionally, a customer's decision to lease space and power in one of our data centers and to purchase additional products typically involves a significant commitment of resources and due diligence on the part of our customers regarding the adequacy of our facilities. As a result, the leasing of data center space can have a long sales cycle, and we may expend significant time and resources in pursuing a particular transaction that may not result in revenue. Economic conditions, including market downturns, may further impact this long sales cycle by making it difficult for customers to plan future business activities, which could cause customers to slow spending or delay decision-making. Our inability to adequately manage the risks associated with the sales cycle may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even if we have additional space available for lease at any one of our data centers, our ability to lease this space to existing or new customers could be constrained by our ability to provide sufficient electrical power.

As current and future customers increase their power footprint in our data centers over time, the corresponding reduction in available power could limit our ability to increase occupancy rates or network density within our existing data centers. Furthermore, at certain of our data centers, our aggregate maximum contractual obligation to provide power and cooling to our customers may exceed the physical capacity at such data centers if customers were to quickly increase their demand for power and cooling. If we are not able to increase the available power and/or cooling or move the customer to another location within our data centers with sufficient power and cooling to meet such demand, we could lose the customer as well as be exposed to liability under our customer agreements. In addition, our power and cooling systems are difficult and expensive to upgrade. Accordingly, we may not be able to efficiently upgrade or change these systems to meet new demands without incurring significant costs that we may not be able to pass on to our customers. Any such



## Index to Financial Statements

material loss of customers, liability or additional costs could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our portfolio depends upon local economic conditions and is geographically concentrated in certain locations.

Our portfolio is located in 50 metropolitan areas. As of December 31, 2021, our portfolio, including the 50 data centers held as investments in unconsolidated entities, was geographically concentrated in the following metropolitan areas:

<table><tr><td>Metropolitan Area</td><td>Percentage of December 31, 2021 Total annualized rent (1)</td></tr><tr><td>Northern Virginia</td><td>19.5 %</td></tr><tr><td>Chicago</td><td>9.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>London</td><td>6.6 %</td></tr><tr><td>New York</td><td>6.2 %</td></tr><tr><td>Silicon Valley</td><td>6.1 %</td></tr><tr><td>Frankfurt</td><td>5.7 %</td></tr><tr><td>Dallas</td><td>5.5 %</td></tr><tr><td>Amsterdam</td><td>4.2 %</td></tr><tr><td>Sao Paulo</td><td>4.1 %</td></tr><tr><td>Singapore</td><td>4.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>Paris</td><td>2.2 %</td></tr><tr><td>Phoenix</td><td>2.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>San Francisco</td><td>1.9 %</td></tr><tr><td>Osaka</td><td>1.6 %</td></tr><tr><td>Atlanta</td><td>1.5 %</td></tr><tr><td>Other</td><td>19.9 %</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>100.0 %</td></tr></table>

(1) Annualized rent is monthly contractual rent (defined as cash base rent before abatements) under existing leases as of December 31, 2021 multiplied by 12. Includes consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated entities at the entities' 100% ownership level. The aggregate amount of abatements for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $108.7 million.

Some of these areas have experienced downturns in recent years. We depend upon the local economic conditions in these areas, including local real estate conditions, and our operations, revenue and cash available for distribution could be materially adversely affected by a downturn in local economic conditions in these areas. Our operations may also be affected if too many competing properties are built in any of these areas or supply otherwise increases or exceeds demand. We cannot assure you that these locations will grow or will remain favorable to data center investments or operations. In addition, we are currently developing data centers in certain of these metropolitan areas. Any negative changes in real estate, technology or economic conditions in these metropolitan areas in particular could negatively impact our performance.

We lease or sublease certain of our data center space from third parties and the ability to retain these leases or subleases could be a significant risk to our ongoing operations.

We do not own all the buildings in our portfolio. These leased buildings accounted for approximately 15% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, we may acquire additional leased data center space or businesses that lease facilities instead of owning them. Our business could be harmed if we are unable to renew the leases for these data centers on favorable terms or at all. Additionally, in several of our smaller facilities we sublease our space, and our rights under these subleases are dependent on our sublandlord retaining its rights under the prime lease. When the initial terms of our existing leases expire, we generally have the right to extend the terms of our leases for one or more renewal periods, subject to, in the case of several of our subleases, our sublandlord renewing its term under the prime lease. If renewal rates are less favorable than those we currently have, we may be required to increase revenues.



## Index to Financial Statements

within existing data centers to offset such increase in lease payments. Failure to increase revenues to sufficiently offset these projected higher costs could adversely impact our operating income. Upon the end of our renewal options, we would have to renegotiate our lease terms with the applicable landlords.

Additionally, if we are unable to renew the lease at any of our data centers, we could lose customers due to the disruptions in their operations caused by the relocation. We could also lose those customers that choose our data centers based on their locations. The costs of relocating data center infrastructure equipment, such as generators, power distribution units and cooling units, to different data centers could be prohibitive and, as such, we could lose the value of this equipment. For these reasons, any lease that cannot be renewed could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

## We and our customers may experience supply chain or procurement disruptions, or increased supply chain costs, which may lead to delays.

The development of our data center requires the timely delivery of required equipment and materials. We rely on third parties to provide the equipment and materials needed for our construction and development needs. Our global supply chain and development activities could be impacted by disruptions, such as political events, international trade disputes, war, terrorism, natural disasters, public health issues, industrial accidents, pandemics and other business interruptions, which could impact our ability to meet delivery timelines, including delivery timelines to our customers, and lead to delays, reputational damage, potential penalties that we may be required to pay and potential terminations of agreements by our customers. If any such delay or disruption were to occur, it could have an adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition. Changes in the costs of procuring materials and equipment used in our construction and development programs, including vendor costs, or changes in our relationships with vendors, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Similarly, our customers may experience supply chain or procurement disruptions, constraints and increased costs, which may impact their ability to deploy in our facilities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have actively monitored our vendors and suppliers and remain in frequent communication with customers, contractors and suppliers. We have proactively managed our supply chain, and we believe the equipment needed will be delivered to complete our 2022 development activities. Although to date, we have been able to manage through disruptions in our supply chain and procurement process due to the COVID-19 pandemic, continuing disruptions could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. However, the full extent and impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our future supply chain and procurement process cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and it could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

## We may not be able to adapt to changing technologies and customer requirements, and our data center infrastructure may become obsolete.

The technology industry generally and specific industries in which certain of our customers operate are characterized by rapidly changing technology, customer requirements and industry standards. New systems to deliver power to or eliminate heat in data centers or the development of new server technology that does not require the levels of critical load and heat removal that our facilities are designed to provide and could be run less expensively on a different platform could make our data center infrastructure obsolete. Our power and cooling systems are difficult and expensive to upgrade, and we may not be able to efficiently upgrade or change these systems to meet new demands without incurring significant costs that we may not be able to pass on to our customers which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the infrastructure that connects our data centers to the Internet and other external networks may become insufficient, including with respect to latency, reliability and connectivity. We may not be able to adapt to changing technologies or meet customer demands for new processes or technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner, if at all, which would adversely impact our ability to sustain and grow our business.

Further, our inability to adapt to changing customer requirements may make our data centers obsolete or unmarketable to such customers. Some of our customers operate at significant scale across numerous data center facilities and have designed cloud and computing networks with redundancies and fail-over capabilities across these facilities, which enhances the resiliency of their networks and applications. As a result, these customers may realize cost benefits by locating their data center operations in facilities with less electrical or mechanical infrastructure redundancy than is found in our existing data center facilities. Additionally, some of our customers have begun to operate their data centers

using a wider range of humidity levels and at temperatures that are higher than servers customarily have operated at in the past, all of which may result in energy cost savings for these customers. We may not be able to operate our existing data centers under these environmental conditions, particularly in multi-tenant facilities with other customers who are not willing to operate under these conditions, and our data centers could be at a competitive disadvantage to facilities that satisfy such requirements. Because we may not be able to modify the redundancy levels or environmental systems of our existing data centers cost effectively, these or other changes in customer requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, due to regulations that apply to our customers as well as industry standards, such as ISO and SOC certifications which customers may deem desirable, they may seek specific requirements from their data centers that we are unable to provide. If new or different regulations or standards are adopted or such extra requirements are demanded by our customers, we could lose some customers or be unable to attract new customers in certain industries, which could materially and adversely affect our operations.

We depend upon third-party suppliers for power, and we are vulnerable to service failures and price increases by such suppliers and to volatility in the supply and price of power in the open market.

We rely on third parties to provide power to our data centers, and we cannot ensure that these third parties will deliver such power in adequate quantities or on a consistent basis. If the amount of power available to us is inadequate to support our customer requirements, we may be unable to satisfy our obligations to our customers or grow our business. In addition, our data centers may be susceptible to power shortages and planned or unplanned power outages caused by these shortages. Power outages may last beyond our backup and alternative power arrangements, which would harm our customers and our business. Any loss of services or equipment damage could adversely affect both our ability to generate revenues and our operating results, harm our reputation and potentially lead to customer disputes or litigation.

In addition, we may be subject to risks and unanticipated costs associated with obtaining power from various utility companies. Utilities that serve our data centers may be dependent on, and sensitive to price increases for, a particular type of fuel, such as coal, oil or natural gas. In addition, the price of these fuels and the electricity generated from them could increase as a result of: regulations intended to regulate carbon emissions and other pollutants, ratepayer surcharges related to recovering the cost of natural disasters, grid modernization charges, as well as other charges borne by ratepayers. Increases in the cost of power at any of our data centers could put those locations at a competitive disadvantage relative to data centers that are supplied power at a lower price.

We have also entered into power purchase agreements with contract terms ranging from 10-15 years. These agreements require us to purchase renewable energy and/or renewable energy credits from producers at fixed prices over the terms of the contracts, subject to certain adjustments. In the event that the market price for energy decreases, we may be required to pay more under the power purchase agreements than we would otherwise if we were to purchase renewable energy credits on the open market, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, interruptions in the operations of one or more of the suppliers under these agreements, as a result of unpredictable weather, natural phenomena or otherwise, could negatively impact the quantity of renewable energy credits delivered to us.

We depend on third parties to provide network connectivity to the customers in our data centers and any delays or disruptions in connectivity may materially adversely affect our operating results and cash flow.

We are not a telecommunications carrier. Although our customers generally are responsible for providing their own network connectivity, we still depend upon the presence of telecommunications carriers' fiber networks serving our data centers in order to attract and retain customers. We believe that the availability of carrier capacity will directly affect our ability to achieve our projected results. Any carrier may elect not to offer its services within our data centers. Any carrier that has decided to provide network connectivity to our data centers may not continue to do so for any period of time. Further, some carriers are experiencing business difficulties or have announced consolidations. As a result, some carriers may be forced to downsize or terminate connectivity within our data centers, which could have an adverse effect on the business of our customers and, in turn, our own operating results.

Our data centers may require construction and operation of a sophisticated redundant fiber network. The construction required to connect multiple carrier facilities to our data centers is complex and involves factors outside of our control, including regulatory requirements and the availability of construction resources. We have obtained the right to use network resources owned by other companies, including rights to use dark fiber, in order to attract telecommunications



## Index to Financial Statements

carriers and customers to our portfolio. If the establishment of highly diverse network connectivity to our data centers does not occur, is materially delayed or is discontinued, or is subject to failure, our operating results and cash flow may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, any hardware or fiber failures on this network may result in significant loss of connectivity to our data centers. This could negatively affect our ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our international activities, including acquisition, ownership and operation of data centers located outside of the United States, subject us to risks different than those we face in the United States and we may not be able to effectively manage our international business.

Our portfolio included 160 data centers, including 35 held in unconsolidated entities, located outside of the United States as of December 31, 2021. We have acquired and developed, and may continue to acquire and develop, and operate data centers outside the United States.

The ownership and operation of data centers located outside of the United States subject us to risks from fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Changes in the relation of these currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect our revenues and operating margins, may materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt obligations. We may attempt to mitigate some or all of the risk of currency fluctuation by financing our properties in the local currency denominations, although we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so or that this will be effective. We may also engage in direct hedging activities to mitigate the risks of exchange rate fluctuations in a manner consistent with our qualifications as a REIT, although we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so or that this will be effective.

Our foreign operations involve additional risks not generally associated with or different from operations in the United States, including:

• our limited knowledge of and relationships with sellers, customers, contractors, suppliers or other parties in these metropolitan areas;

• complexity and costs associated with managing international development and operations;

• difficulty in hiring qualified management, sales and construction personnel and service providers in a timely fashion;

• the adoption and expansion of trade restrictions or the occurrence of trade wars;

• differing employment practices and labor issues, including related to works councils, employee committees, labor unions and collective rights of action;

• multiple, conflicting and changing legal, regulatory, entitlement and permitting, and tax and treaty environments;

• exposure to increased taxation, confiscation or expropriation;

• currency transfer restrictions and limitations on our ability to distribute cash earned in foreign jurisdictions to the United States;

• difficulty in enforcing agreements in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including those entered into in connection with our acquisitions or in the event of a default by one or more of our customers, suppliers or contractors;

• local business and cultural factors;

• political and economic instability, including sovereign credit risk, in certain geographic regions; and

• risks related to bribery and corruption.

We also face risks with investing in unfamiliar metropolitan areas. We have acquired and may continue to acquire properties in international metropolitan areas that are new to us. When we acquire properties located in these metropolitan areas, we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy and culture, forging new business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local government and permitting procedures. In addition, due diligence, transaction and structuring costs may be higher than those we may face in the United States. We work to mitigate such risks through extensive diligence and research and associations with experienced local partners; however, we cannot assure you that all such risks will be eliminated.



## Index to Financial Statements

Our inability to overcome these risks could adversely affect our international activities, including our foreign operations and could harm our business and results of operations.

The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business.

We are a global company with worldwide operations, including material business operations in Europe. Following a national referendum and enactment of legislation by the government of the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom formally withdrew from the European Union, and, on May 1, 2021, the European Union and United Kingdom entered into a new trade and cooperation agreement to govern certain aspects of their relationship following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. The agreement addresses trade, economic arrangements, law enforcement, judicial cooperation and a governance framework including procedures for dispute resolution, among other things. Because the agreement merely sets forth a framework in many respects and will require complex additional bilateral negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Union as both parties continue to work on the rules for implementation, significant political and economic uncertainty remains about how the precise terms of the relationship between the parties will differ from the terms before withdrawal.

These developments, or the perception that any related developments could occur, have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and financial markets, and could significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets. Assets valuations, currency exchange rates and credit ratings have been and may continue to be subject to increased market volatility. Lack of clarity about future United Kingdom laws and regulations as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate, including financial laws and regulations, tax and free trade agreements, tax and customs laws, intellectual property rights, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, immigration laws, employment laws and transport laws could increase costs, disrupt supply chains, and depress economic activity and restrict our access to capital. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and reduce the price of our securities.

Our recent acquisitions may not achieve the intended benefits or may disrupt our plans and operations.

Acquisitions present many risks, and we may not realize the financial or strategic goals that were contemplated at the time of the transaction. Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Interxion Combination in March 2020 and other acquisitions depends, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate each of them with our business. The combination of two independent businesses can be a complex, costly and time-consuming process, which requires significant time and focus from our management team and may divert attention from the day-to-day operations of our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate acquired properties and businesses with our business or otherwise realize the expected benefits of these acquisitions. In addition, even if our operations are integrated successfully with the operations of our acquisitions, we may not realize the full benefits of the acquisitions, including the synergies, operating efficiencies, or sales or growth opportunities that are expected. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame or at all. All of these factors could decrease or delay any potential accretive effect of the acquisitions and negatively impact the price of our common stock.

In addition, the overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses and loss of customer relationships, among other potential adverse consequences. Actual integration costs may exceed those estimated and there may be further unanticipated costs and the assumption of known and unknown liabilities. While we have assumed that we will incur certain integration expenses, there are factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of such expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. If we cannot integrate and operate acquired properties or businesses to meet our financial expectations, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

The risks of combining businesses include, among others:

• we may have underestimated the costs to make any necessary improvements to the acquired properties;

• the acquired properties may be subject to reassessment, which may result in higher than expected property tax payments;



## Index to Financial Statements

• we may be unable to integrate new acquisitions quickly and efficiently, particularly acquisitions of operating businesses or portfolios of properties, into our existing operations;

• we may face difficulties in integrating employees and in retaining key personnel;

• we may face challenges in keeping existing customers, including key customers, which could adversely impact our revenue;

• we may be unable to effectively manage our expanded operations; and

• market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates on acquired properties.

Any one of these risks could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenue and diversion of our management's time and energy, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Several of our data centers, including the data centers which we have acquired in the past five years, have been under our management for a limited time. The data centers may have characteristics or deficiencies unknown to us that could affect their valuation or revenue potential. We cannot assure you that the operating performance of these data centers will not decline under our management.

We may be subject to unknown or contingent liabilities related to our recent acquisitions, for which we may have no or limited recourse against the sellers.

Our recent and future acquisitions may be subject to unknown or contingent liabilities for which we may have no or limited recourse against the sellers. Unknown or contingent liabilities might include liabilities for clean-up or remediation of environmental conditions, claims of customers, vendors or other persons dealing with the acquired entities or the former owners of acquired properties or businesses, tax liabilities, claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of acquired properties or businesses, and other liabilities whether incurred in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. In addition, the total amount of costs and expenses that we may incur with respect to liabilities associated with our acquisitions may exceed our expectations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, we have entered, and may in the future enter, into transactions with limited representations and warranties or with representations and warranties that do not survive the closing of such transactions, in which event we would have no or limited recourse against the sellers of such properties or businesses. While we usually require the sellers to indemnify us with respect to breaches of representations and warranties that survive, such indemnification is often limited and subject to various materiality thresholds, a significant deductible or an aggregate cap on losses. We may obtain insurance policies providing for coverage for breaches of certain representations and warranties in certain transactions, subject to certain exclusions and a deductible, however, there can be no assurance that we would be able to recover any amounts with respect to losses due to breaches of any such representations and warranties. As a result, there is no guarantee that we will recover any amounts with respect to losses due to breaches by the sellers of their representations and warranties. Finally, indemnification agreements between us and the sellers typically provide that the sellers will retain certain specified liabilities relating to the properties or businesses acquired by us. While the sellers are generally contractually obligated to pay all losses and other expenses relating to such retained liabilities, there can be no guarantee that such arrangements will not require us to incur losses or other expenses as well.

We may be unable to identify, including sourcing off-market deal flow, and complete acquisitions on favorable terms or at all.

A component of our growth strategy is to continue to acquire additional data centers, and we continually evaluate the market of available properties and businesses and may acquire additional properties or businesses when opportunities exist. To date, a substantial portion of our acquisitions were completed before they were widely marketed by real estate brokers, or "off-market." Properties that are acquired off-market are typically more attractive to us as a purchaser because of the absence of competitive bidding, which could potentially lead to higher prices. We obtain access to off-market deal flow from numerous sources. If we cannot obtain off-market deal flow in the future, our ability to identify and acquire additional properties at attractive prices could be adversely affected.

Our ability to acquire properties or businesses on favorable terms may be subject to the following significant risks:



## Index to Financial Statements

- we may be unable to acquire a desired property or business because of competition from other real estate investors with significant capital, including both publicly traded REITs and institutional investment funds;

- even if we are able to acquire a desired property or business, competition from other potential acquirers may significantly increase the purchase price or result in other less favorable terms;

- even if we enter into agreements for the acquisition of real estate or businesses, these agreements are subject to customary conditions to closing; and

• we may be unable to finance acquisitions on favorable terms or at all.

If we cannot complete property or business acquisitions on favorable terms or at all, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

Joint venture (JV) investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on our JV partners' financial condition and disputes between us and our JV partners.

We currently, and may in the future, co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of a property or portfolio of properties, partnership, joint venture or other entity. In these events, we are not in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the properties, partnership, joint venture or other entity. Investments in partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present when a third party is not involved, including the possibility that partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. Partners may have economic, tax or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Our joint venture partners may take actions that are not within our control, which would require us to dispose of the joint venture asset or transfer it to a taxable REIT subsidiary in order for Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to maintain its status as a REIT. Such investments may also lead to increases, for example, as to whether to sell a property, because neither we nor our partner would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. Disputes between us and our partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our management from focusing their time and effort on our day-to-day business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with our partners may subject properties owned by the partnership or joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party partners. Each of these factors may result in returns on these investments being less than we expect or in losses and our financial and operating results may be adversely affected. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to close joint ventures, on the anticipated schedule or at all. Failure to complete any such joint venture could have a negative impact on our business and the trading price of our common stock.

## Brazilian political and economic conditions could adversely affect our investment in the Ascenty joint venture.

Ascenty’s portfolio of data centers is concentrated in Brazil. The Brazilian government frequently intervenes in the Brazilian economy and occasionally makes significant changes in policy and regulations. The Brazilian government’s actions designed to control inflation, stimulate growth and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imported goods and services. We cannot control or predict changes in policy or regulations that the Brazilian government might adopt in the future. Our investment in the Ascenty joint venture may be adversely affected by the economic and political conditions in Brazil as well as changes in policy or regulations at the federal, state or municipal levels involving or affecting factors such as economic or social factors or political instability.

Any delays or unexpected costs in the development of our existing space and developable land and new properties acquired for development may delay and harm our growth prospects, future operating results and financial condition.

At December 31, 2021, we had approximately 7.2 million square feet of space under active development and approximately 2.7 million square feet of space held for future development. We have built and may continue to build out a large portion of this space on a speculative basis at significant cost. Our successful development of these projects is subject to many risks, including those associated with:

• delays in construction, or changes to the plans or specifications;



## Index to Financial Statements

- budget overruns, increased prices for raw materials or building supplies, or lack of availability and/or increased costs for specialized data center components, including long lead time items such as generators;
- construction site accidents and other casualties;

- financing availability, including our ability to obtain construction financing and permanent financing, or increases in interest rates or credit spreads;

- labor availability, costs, disputes and work stoppages with contractors, subcontractors or others that are constructing the project;

• failure of contractors to perform on a timely basis or at all, or other misconduct on the part of contractors;

• access to sufficient power and related costs of providing such power to our customers;

• environmental issues;

• supply chain constraints;

• fire, flooding, earthquakes and other natural disasters;

• pandemics;

• geological, construction, excavation and equipment problems; and

In addition, while we intend to develop data centers primarily in metropolitan areas we are familiar with, we may in the future develop data centers in new geographic regions where we expect the development to result in favorable risk-adjusted returns on our investment. We may not possess the same level of familiarity with the development of data centers in other metropolitan areas, which could adversely affect our ability to develop such data centers successfully or at all or to achieve expected performance.

Development activities, regardless of whether they are ultimately successful, also typically require a substantial portion of our management's time and attention. This may distract our management from focusing on other operational activities of our business. If we are unable to complete development projects successfully, our business may be adversely affected.

We have substantial debt and face risks associated with the use of debt to fund our business activities, including refinancing and interest rate risks.

Our total consolidated indebtedness at December 31, 2021 was approximately $13.4 billion, and we may incur significant additional debt to finance future acquisition, investment and development activities. As of December 31, 2021, we have a $3.0 billion global revolving credit facility. We have the ability from time to time to increase the size of the global revolving credit facility by up to $1.5 billion, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. At December 31, 2021, approximately $2.5 billion was available under this facility, net of outstanding letters of credit. As of February 22, 2022, we had approximately $2.2 billion available under the global revolving credit facility, net of outstanding letters of credit.

Our substantial indebtedness currently requires us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to debt service payments, which reduces the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, expansion efforts, distributions and other general corporate purposes. Additionally, it could: make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness; limit our ability in the future to undertake refinancing of our debt or obtain financing for expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all; or affect adversely our ability to compete effectively or operate successfully under adverse economic conditions.

In addition, we may violate restrictive covenants or fail to maintain financial ratios specified in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our debt obligations, and our secured lenders or mortgagees may foreclose on our properties or our interests in the entities that own the properties that secure their loans and receive an assignment of rents and leases. Our default under any one of our loans could result in a cross-default on other indebtedness. A foreclosure on one or more of our properties could adversely affect our access to capital, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and cash available for distribution. Further, foreclosures could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, a circumstance which could hinder Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.



## Index to Financial Statements

Additional risks related to our indebtedness include the following:

We may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness. It is likely that we will need to refinance at least a portion of our outstanding debt as it matures. If we are unable to refinance or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds of other capital transactions, then our cash flow may not be sufficient in all years to repay all such maturing debt and to pay distributions. Further, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing, such as the reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans, result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase.

Fluctuations in interest rates could materially affect our financial results and may increase the risk our counterparty defaults on our interest rate hedges. Because a significant portion of our debt, including debt incurred under our global revolving credit facilities, bears interest at variable rates, increases in interest rates could materially increase our interest expense. If the United States Federal Reserve increases short-term interest rates, this would have a significant upward impact on shorter-term interest rates, including the interest rates that apply to our variable rate debt. Potential future increases in interest rates and credit spreads may increase our interest expense and therefore negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations, and reduce our access to capital markets. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix a significant portion of our floating rate debt. Increased interest rates may increase the risk that the counterparties to our swap agreements will default on their obligations, which could further increase our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Conversely, if interest rates are lower than our swapped fixed rates, we will be required to pay more for our debt than we would have had we not entered into the swap agreements.

Adverse changes in our Company's credit ratings could negatively affect our financing activity. The credit ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt and Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s preferred stock are based on our Company's operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analyses of our Company. Our Company's credit ratings can affect the amount of capital we can access, as well as the terms and pricing of any debt we may incur. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and in the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs and may encounter difficulty in obtaining additional financing. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings may trigger additional payments or other negative consequences under our current and future credit facilities and debt instruments. For example, if the credit ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt are downgraded to below investment grade levels, we may not be able to obtain or maintain extensions on certain of our existing debt. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively impact our refinancing and other capital market activities, our ability to manage our debt maturities, our future growth, our financial condition, the market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stock, and our development and acquisition activity.

Our global revolving credit facilities and senior notes restrict our ability to engage in some business activities. Our global revolving credit facilities contain negative covenants and other financial and operating covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; make certain investments; merge with another company; and create, incur or assume liens; and require us to maintain financial coverage ratios, including with respect to unencumbered assets.

In addition, the global revolving credit facilities restrict Digital Realty Trust, Inc. from making distributions to its stockholders, or redeeming or otherwise repurchasing shares of its capital stock, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, except in limited circumstances including as necessary to enable Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to maintain its qualification as a REIT and to avoid the payment of income or excise tax.

In addition, our unsecured senior notes are governed by indentures, which contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. These restrictions, and the restrictions in our global revolving credit facilities, could cause us to default on our senior notes or global revolving credit facilities, as applicable, or negatively affect our operations or our ability to pay dividends to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders or distributions to Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders, which could have a material adverse effect on the market value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock and preferred stock.



## Index to Financial Statements

Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect results of operations. We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements, such as interest rate cap, forward or swap lock agreements. These agreements involve risks, such as the risk that counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements, that these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes and that a court could rule that such an agreement is not legally enforceable. Our policy is to use these derivatives only to hedge interest rate risks related to our borrowings, not for speculative or trading purposes, and to enter into contracts only with major financial institutions based on their credit ratings and other factors. However, we may choose to change this policy in the future. Approximately 94% of our total indebtedness as of December 31, 2021 was subject to fixed interest rates or variable rates subject to interest rate swaps. We do not currently hedge our global revolving credit facilities and as our borrowings under our global revolving credit facilities increase, so will our percentage of indebtedness not subject to fixed rates and our exposure to interest rates increase. Hedging may reduce the overall returns on our investments. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our results of operations.

## Our growth depends on external sources of capital which are outside of our control.

In order for Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it is required under the Code to annually distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. will be subject to federal and state corporate income taxes to the extent that it distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, including any net capital gains. Digital Realty Trust, L.P. is required to make distributions to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. that will enable the latter to satisfy this distribution requirement and avoid income and excise tax liability. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition or development financing, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we may rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs.

Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of factors, including general market conditions, the market's perception of our business prospects and growth potential, our current and expected future earnings, funds from operations, our cash flow and cash distributions, and the market price per share of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at all or on terms favorable or acceptable to us. Any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage. Further, equity markets have experienced high volatility recently and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise capital through the sale of equity securities at all or on favorable terms. Sales of equity on unfavorable terms could result in substantial dilution to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders. In addition, we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on disadvantaged tenancies.

If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire or develop data centers when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our debt service obligations, pay cash dividends to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders or make distributions to Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders.

## Declining real estate valuations, impairment charges and illiquidity of real estate investments could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.

We review each of our properties for indicators that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Examples of such indicators may include a significant decrease in the market price, a significant adverse change in how the property is being used or expected to be used based on the underwriting at the time of acquisition, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development, a change in our intended holding period due to our intention to sell an asset, or a history of operating or cash flow losses. When such impairment indicators exist, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate investment's or group of properties that operate together as a group use and eventual disposition and compare it to the carrying value of the property or asset group. We consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If our future undiscounted net cash flow evaluation indicates that we are unable to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property or asset group. These losses have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ



## Index to Financial Statements

materially from actual results in future periods. A worsening real estate market may cause us to reevaluate the assumptions used in our impairment analysis. These impairment charges could be significant and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid and because there may be even fewer buyers for our specialized real estate, our ability to promptly sell properties in our portfolio in response to adverse changes in their performance may be limited, which may harm our financial condition. Further, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is subject to provisions in the Code that limit a REIT's ability to dispose of properties, which limitations are not applicable to other types of real estate companies. See "Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure—Digital Realty Trust, Inc."s duty to its stockholders may conflict with the interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders—Tax consequences upon sale or refinancing." While Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has exclusive authority under Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s limited partnership agreement to determine whether, when, and on what terms to sell a property, such decisions may require the approval of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors. These limitations may affect our ability to sell properties.

This lack of liquidity and the Code restrictions may limit our ability to adjust our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions and, as a result, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to access capital necessary to meet our debt payments and other obligations.

## Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

We depend on the efforts of key personnel of our Company, particularly A. William Stein, our Chief Executive Officer, Andrew P. Power, our President & Chief Financial Officer, Gregory S. Wright, our Chief Investment Officer, Chris Sharp, our Chief Technology Officer, Erich J. Sanchack, our Chief Operating Officer, and Cindy Fiedelman, our Chief Human Resources Officer. They are important to our success for many reasons, including that each has a national or regional reputation in our industry and the investment community that attracts investors and business and investment opportunities and assists us in negotiations with investors, lenders, existing and potential customers and industry personnel. If we lost their services, our business and investment opportunities and our relationships with lenders and other capital markets participants, existing and prospective customers and industry personnel could suffer. Many of our Company's other senior employees also have strong technology, finance and real estate industry reputations. As a result, we have greater access to potential acquisitions, financing, leasing and other opportunities, and are better able to negotiate with customers. As the number of our competitors increases, it becomes more likely that a competitor would attempt to hire certain of these individuals away from our Company. The loss of any of these key personnel would result in the loss of these and other benefits and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

We also depend on the talents and efforts of highly skilled technical individuals. Our success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly skilled technical personnel for all areas of our organization. Competition in our industry for qualified technical employees is intense, and the availability of qualified technical personnel is not guaranteed.

## We may have difficulty managing our growth.

We have significantly and rapidly expanded the size of our Company. Our growth may significantly strain our management, operational and financial resources and systems. In addition, as a reporting company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of these rules and regulations subject us to certain accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and may strain our management and financial, legal and operational resources and systems. An inability to manage our growth effectively or the increased strain on our management of our resources and systems could result in deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting and could negatively impact financial condition, results of operations and our cash available for distribution.

## Potential losses may not be covered by insurance.

We currently carry commercial general liability, property, business interruption, including loss of rental income, and other insurance policies to cover insurable risks to our Company. We select policy specifications, insured limits and deductibles which we believe to be appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and standard industry practices. Our insurance policies contain industry standard exclusions and we do not carry insurance for generally uninsurable risks, such as loss from war or nuclear reaction. A significant portion of our properties are



## Index to Financial Statements

located in seismically active zones such as California, which represents approximately 9% of our portfolio's annualized rent as of December 31, 2021. One catastrophic event, for example, in California, could significantly impact multiple properties, the aggregate deductible amounts could be significant and the limits we purchase could prove to be insufficient, which could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, a catastrophic regional event could also severely impact some of our insurers rendering them insolvent or unable to fully pay on claims despite their current financial strength. We may discontinue purchasing insurance against earthquake, flood or windstorm or other perils on some or all of our properties in the future if the cost of premiums for any of these policies exceeds, in our judgment, the value of the coverage relative to the risk of loss.

In addition, many of our buildings contain extensive and highly valuable technology-related improvements. Under the terms of our agreements with customers, customers are obligated to maintain adequate insurance coverage applicable to such improvements and under most circumstances use their insurance proceeds to restore such improvements after a casualty event. In the event of a casualty or other loss involving one of our buildings with extensive installed tenant improvements, our customers may have the right to terminate their leases if we do not rebuild the base building within prescribed times. In such cases, the proceeds from customers' insurance will not be available to us to restore the improvements, and our insurance coverage may be insufficient to replicate the technology-related improvements made by such customers. Furthermore, the terms of our mortgage indebtedness at certain of our properties may require us to pay insurance proceeds over to our lenders under certain circumstances, rather than use the proceeds to repair the property. If we or one or more of our customers experience a loss which is uninsured or which exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.

## We could incur significant costs related to environmental matters, including from government regulation, private litigation, and existing conditions at some of our properties.

Under various laws relating to the protection of the environment in the United States, as well as in many jurisdictions in Europe, Asia and South America, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for contamination resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances at a property, and may be required to investigate and clean up such contamination at or emanating from a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the contaminants, and the liability may be joint and several. In the United States, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA, established a regulatory and remedial program intended to provide for the investigation and clean-up of facilities where, or from which, a release of any hazardous substance into the environment has occurred or is threatened. CERCLA's primary mechanism for remedying such problems is to impose strict joint and several liability for clean-up of facilities on current owners and operators of the site, former owners and operators of the site at the time of the disposal of the hazardous substances, any person who arranges for the transportation, disposal or treatment of the hazardous substances, and the transporters who select the disposal and treatment facilities, regardless of the care exercised by such persons. CERCLA also imposes liability for the cost of evaluating and remedying any damage to natural resources. The costs of CERCLA investigation and clean-up can be very substantial. CERCLA also authorizes the imposition of a lien in favor of the United States on all real property subject to, or affected by, a remedial action for all costs for which a party is liable. Subject to certain procedural restrictions, CERCLA gives a responsible party the right to bring a contribution action against other responsible parties for their allocable shares of investigative and remedial costs. Our ability to obtain reimbursement from others for their allocable shares of such costs would be limited by our ability to find other responsible parties and prove the extent of their responsibility, their financial resources, and other procedural requirements. Various state laws, as well as laws in Europe, Asia and South America, also impose in certain cases strict joint and several liability for investigation, clean-up and other damages associated with hazardous substance releases.

Previous owners used some of our properties for industrial and manufacturing purposes, and those properties may contain some level of environmental contamination. Independent environmental consultants have conducted Phase I or similar environmental site assessments on a majority of the properties in our portfolio. Site assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties. These assessments do not generally include soil samplings, subsurface investigations or an asbestos survey and the assessments may fail to reveal all environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns. In addition,



## Index to Financial Statements

material environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns may have arisen after these reviews were completed or may arise in the future. We could be held jointly and severally liable under CERCLA and various state, local and national laws for the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination on our properties caused by previous owners or operators. Further, fuel storage tanks are present at most of our properties, and if releases were to occur, we may be liable for the costs of cleaning any resulting contamination. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination at our properties may expose us to third-party liability or materially adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or develop the real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.

In addition, some of our customers, particularly those in the biotechnology and life sciences industry and those in the technology manufacturing industry, routinely handle hazardous substances and wastes as part of their operations at our properties. Environmental laws and regulations subject our customers, and potentially us, to liability resulting from these activities or from previous industrial or retail uses of those properties. We could be held jointly and severally liable under CERCLA and various state, local and national laws for the investigation and remediation of hazardous substances released by our customers on our properties. Environmental liabilities could also affect a customer's ability to make rental payments to us. We cannot assure you that costs of investigation and remediation of environmental matters will not affect our ability to pay dividends to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and distributions to Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders or that such costs or other remedial measures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.

Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials and lead-based paint. Environmental laws require that asbestos-containing building materials and lead-based paint be properly managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. These laws may also allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos-containing building materials and lead-based paint.

Our properties and their uses often require permits and entitlements from various government agencies, including permits and entitlements related to zoning and land use. Certain permits from state or local environmental regulatory agencies, including regulators of air quality, are usually required to install and operate diesel-powered generators, which provide emergency back-up power at most of our facilities. These permits often set emissions limits for certain air pollutants, including oxides of nitrogen. In addition, various federal, state, and local environmental, health and safety requirements, such as fire requirements and treated and storm water discharge requirements, apply to some of our properties. Our ability to comply with, as well as changes to, applicable regulations, such as air quality regulations, or the permit requirements for equipment at our facilities, could hinder or prevent our construction or operation of data center facilities.

Governmental authorities have in the past sought to restrict data center development based on environmental considerations. For example, governmental authorities in locations where we operate have imposed moratoria on data center development, citing concerns about energy usage and requiring new data centers to meet energy efficiency requirements. Some government agencies have also sought to restrict the use of diesel generators for back-up power. We may face higher costs from any laws requiring enhanced energy efficiency measures, changes to cooling systems, caps on energy usage, land use restrictions, limitations on back-up power sources, or other environmental requirements. Moratoria on data center construction could hinder our ability to construct new data centers.

Also, drought conditions in certain markets have resulted in water usage restrictions and proposals to further restrict water usage. Our data center facilities could face restrictions on water usage, water efficiency mandates, or higher water prices. Climate change could also limit water availability. In addition, sea level rise and more frequent and severe weather events caused or contributed to by climate change pose physical risks to our facilities. Additional risks related to our business and operations as a result of climate change include both physical and transition risks such as:

Higher energy costs (e.g., due to more extreme weather events, extreme temperatures or increased demand for limited resources);

Increased environmental regulations impacting the cost to develop, or the ability to develop in certain areas;

Higher costs of materials due to environmental impacts from extraction and processing of raw materials and production of finished goods;

Higher costs of supply chain services, with potential supply chain disruptions related to climate change; and



## Index to Financial Statements

• Lost revenue or higher expenses related to climate change events (e.g., higher insurance costs, uninsured losses, diminished customer retention in areas subject to extreme weather or resource availability constraints).

The environmental laws and regulations to which our properties are subject may change in the future, and new laws and regulations may be created. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose additional material environmental liability. Such laws include those directly regulating our climate change impacts and those which regulate the climate change impacts of companies with which we do business, such as utilities providing our facilities with electricity. See "Item 1. Business—Regulations—Environmental Matters—Climate change legislation." We do not know if or how the requirements will change, but changes may require that we make significant unanticipated expenditures, and such expenditures may materially adversely impact our financial condition, cash flow, results of operations, cash available for distributions, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock's per share trading price, our competitive position and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.

Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold or suffer from other air quality issues, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs to remedy the problem.

When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold may grow, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants, such as Legionella, at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our customers, their employees, our employees and others if property damage or health concerns arise.

We may incur significant costs complying with applicable laws and governmental regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Our business is subject to regulation under a wide variety of U.S. federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies, including those imposed by the SEC, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the NYSE, as well as applicable local, state, and national labor laws. Although we have policies and procedures designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations, failure to comply with the various laws and regulations may result in civil and criminal liability, fines and penalties and increased costs of compliance.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. We have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance with the ADA or similar laws of other jurisdictions in which we operate. If one or more of the properties in our portfolio does not comply with the ADA or such other laws, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. Additional federal, state and local laws also may require modifications to our properties, or restrict our ability to renovate our properties. We cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA or other laws. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and any other similar legislation or are subject to awards of damages to private litigants, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected.

The properties in our portfolio are subject to various federal, state and local regulations, such as state and local fire and life safety regulations. If we fail to comply with these various regulations, we may have to pay fines or damage awards to private litigants. In addition, we do not know whether existing regulations will change or whether future regulations will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.

Our business could be adversely impacted if there are deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting.



## Index to Financial Statements

The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements or misrepresentations. While management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no guarantee that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. Furthermore, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting with respect to entities that we do not control or manage may be substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to the subsidiaries that we have controlled or managed over the course of time. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial reporting which may occur in the future could result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements of our financial statements, a decline in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stock price, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

## Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

## Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s duty to its stockholders may conflict with the interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders.

Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and its stockholders, on the one hand, and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and its partners, on the other. Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s directors and officers have duties to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and its stockholders under Maryland law in connection with their management of our Company. At the same time, Digital Realty Trust, Inc., as general partner, has fiduciary duties under Maryland law to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and to the limited partners in connection with the management of our Operating Partnership. Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s duties as general partner to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s directors and officers to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and its stockholders. Under Maryland law, a general partner of a Maryland limited partnership owes its limited partners the duties of loyalty and care, which must be discharged consistently with the obligation of good faith and fair dealing, unless the partnership agreement provides otherwise. The partnership agreement of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. provides that for so long as Digital Realty Trust, Inc. owns a controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P., any conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders or the limited partners will be resolved in favor of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders.

The provisions of Maryland law that allow the fiduciary duties of a general partner to be modified by a partnership agreement have not been tested in a court of law, and we have not obtained an opinion of counsel covering the provisions set forth in the partnership agreement that purport to waive or restrict Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s fiduciary duties.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders are also subject to the following additional conflict of interest:

Tax consequences upon sale or refinancing. Sales of properties and repayment of certain indebtedness will affect holders of common units in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders differently. Consequently, these holders of common units in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. may have different objectives regarding the appropriate pricing and timing of any such sale or repayment of debt. While Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has exclusive authority under the partnership agreement of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. to determine when to refinance or repay debt or whether, when, and on what terms to sell a property, such decisions may require the approval of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors. Certain of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s directors and executive officers could exercise their influence in a manner inconsistent with the interests of some, or a majority, of Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders, including in a manner which could prevent completion of a sale of a property or the repayment of indebtedness.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter, Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s partnership agreement and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction.

## These provisions include the following:

Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter, including the articles supplementary governing its preferred stock, contains 9.8% ownership limits. Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter, subject to certain exceptions, authorizes Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s qualification as a REIT and to limit any person to actual or constructive ownership of no more than 9.8% (by value) of by



## Index to Financial Statements

number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock, 9.8% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of any series of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s preferred stock and 9.8% of the value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s outstanding capital stock. Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a proposed transferee from the ownership limit. However, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors may not grant an exemption from the ownership limit to any proposed transferee whose direct or indirect ownership of more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock, more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of any series of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s preferred stock or more than 9.8% of the value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s outstanding capital stock could jeopardize Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s status as a REIT. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s best interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT or that compliance is no longer required for REIT qualification. The ownership limit may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interest of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders.

Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s partnership agreement contains provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction. Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s partnership agreement provides that Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another person, any sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any reclassification, recapitalization or change of its outstanding equity interests unless the transaction is approved by the holders of common units and long-term incentive units representing at least 35% of the aggregate percentage interests of all holders of common units and long-term incentive units and either:

all limited partners will receive, or have the right to elect to receive, for each common unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the product of the number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock into which a common unit is then exchangeable and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid in consideration of each share of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock in connection with the transaction (provided that, if, in connection with the transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to and accepted by the holders of 100% of the shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock, each holder of common units will receive, or have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property which such holder would have received if it exercised its right to redemption and received shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock in exchange for its common units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and the transaction was then consummated); or

the following conditions are met:
o substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity in the transaction are held directly or indirectly by Digital Realty Trust, L.P. or another limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with Digital Realty Trust, L.P., which we refer to as the surviving partnership;

the holders of common units and long-term incentive units own a percentage interest of the surviving partnership based on the relative fair market value of Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s net assets and the other net assets of the surviving partnership immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction;

the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of interests in the surviving partnership are at least as favorable as those in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the surviving partnership; and

the rights of the limited partners or non-managing members of the surviving partnership include at least one of the following: (i) the right to redeem their interests in the surviving partnership for the consideration available to such persons pursuant to Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s partnership agreement; or (ii) the right to redeem their interests for cash on terms equivalent to those in effect with respect to their common units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction (or,



## Index to Financial Statements

if the ultimate controlling person of the surviving partnership has publicly traded common equity securities, for such common equity securities, with an exchange ratio based on the determination of relative fair market value of such securities and the shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock).

These provisions may discourage others from trying to acquire control of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction that might be beneficial to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders.

The change of control conversion features of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s preferred stock may make it more difficult for a party to take over our Company or discourage a party from taking over our Company. Upon the occurrence of specified change of control transactions, holders of our series I preferred stock, series K preferred stock will have the right (unless, prior to the change of control conversion date, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem such preferred stock) to convert some or all of their series I preferred stock, series K preferred stock or series L preferred stock, as applicable, into shares of our common stock (or equivalent value of alternative consideration), subject to caps set forth in the articles supplementing governing the applicable series of preferred stock. The change of control conversion features of the series I preferred stock, series K preferred stock and series L preferred stock may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for our Company or of delaying, deferring or preventing certain change of control transactions of our Company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common stock, series I preferred stock, series K preferred stock and series L preferred stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-current market price or that stockholders may otherwise believe is in their best interests.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. could increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of stock and issue stock without stockholder approval. Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter authorizes Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, to amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock or the number of authorized shares of stock of any class or series, to issue authorized but unissued shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock or preferred stock and, subject to the voting rights of holders of preferred stock, to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock or preferred stock into other classes of series of stock and to set the preferences, rights and other terms of such classified or reclassified shares. Although Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors has no such intention at the present time, it could establish an additional class or series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interest of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders.

Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control. Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, may have the effect of impeding a third party from making a proposal to acquire Digital Realty Trust, Inc. or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could be in the best interests of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders, including:

“business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s outstanding shares of voting stock or an affiliate or associate of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s then outstanding shares of stock) or an affiliate thereof for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter impose special appraisal rights and supermajority voting requirements on these combinations; and

“control share” provisions that provide that “control shares” of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (defined as shares which, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.



## Index to Financial Statements

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has opted out of these provisions of the MGCL, in the case of the business combination provisions of the MGCL by resolution of its Board of Directors, and in the case of the control share provisions of the MGCL pursuant to a provision in its bylaws. However, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors may by resolution elect to opt in to the business combination provisions of the MGCL and Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may, by amendment to its bylaws, opt in to the control share provisions of the MGCL in the future.

The provisions of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter governing removal of directors and the advance notice provisions of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s bylaws could delay, defer or prevent a change of control or other transaction that might be in the best interests of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders. Likewise, if Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s board of directors were to opt in to the business combination provisions of the MGCL or the provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL not currently applicable to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., or if the provision in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s bylaws opting out of the control share acquisition provisions of the MGCL were rescinded, these provisions of the MGCL could have similar anti-takeover effects.

The conversion rights of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s preferred stock may be detrimental to holders of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. currently has 8,000,000 shares of 5.250% series J cumulative redeemable preferred stock outstanding, 8,400,000 shares of 5.850% series K cumulative redeemable preferred stock outstanding and 13,800,000 shares of 5.200% series L cumulative redeemable preferred stock outstanding which may be converted into Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock upon the occurrence of limited specified change in control transactions. The conversion of the series J preferred stock, series K preferred stock or series L preferred stock for Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock would dilute stockholder ownership in Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and unitholder ownership in Digital Realty Trust, L.P., and could adversely affect the market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s rights and the rights of its stockholders to take action against its directors and officers are limited.

Maryland law provides that Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s directors have no liability in their capacities as directors if they perform their duties in good faith, in a manner they reasonably believe to be in the Company's best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. As permitted by the MGCL, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter limits the liability of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s directors and officers to the Company and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from:

• actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or

• a final judgment based upon a finding of active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was material to the cause of action adjudicated.

In addition, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter authorizes Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to obligate itself, and Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s bylaws require it, to indemnify Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s directors and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. Further, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. As a result, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and its stockholders may have more limited rights against its directors and officers than might otherwise exist under common law. Accordingly, in the event that actions taken in good faith by any of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s directors or officers impede the performance of the Company, the Company's stockholders' ability to recover damages from that director or officer will be limited.

Risks Related to Taxes and Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Status as a REIT

Failure to qualify as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and its stockholders and to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and its unitholders.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has operated and intends to continue operating in a manner that it believes will allow it to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under the Code. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has not requested and does not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, that it qualifies as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial



## Index to Financial Statements

and administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, or Treasury Regulations, is greater in the case of a REIT that, like Digital Realty Trust, Inc., holds its assets through a partnership. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s control may affect its ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the ownership of its stock, requirements regarding the composition of its assets and requirements regarding the source of its income. Also, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, excluding any net capital gains.

If Digital Realty Trust, Inc. loses its REIT status, it will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce its cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay dividends to its stockholders, for each of the years involved because:

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing its taxable income and would be subject to federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income;

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. also could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for taxable years prior to 2018 and possibly increased state and local taxes; and

unless Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, it could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which it was disqualified.

In addition, if Digital Realty Trust, Inc. fails to qualify as a REIT, it will not be required to make distributions to common stockholders, and accordingly, distributions Digital Realty Trust, L.P. makes to its unitholders could be similarly reduced. As a result of all these factors, Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and could materially adversely affect the value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stock and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s units.

In certain circumstances, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may be subject to federal and state taxes as a REIT, which would reduce its cash available for distribution to its stockholders.

Even if Digital Realty Trust, Inc. qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it may be subject to some federal, state and local taxes on its income or property and, in certain cases, a 100% penalty tax, in the event it sells property as a dealer. In addition, our domestic corporate subsidiary, Digital Services, Inc., which is a taxable REIT, subsidiary of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., could be subject to federal, state and local taxes, and our foreign properties and companies are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate and are located. A domestic taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular C corporation. In addition, a 100% excise tax will be imposed on certain transactions between a taxable REIT subsidiary and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm's length basis. Any federal, state or foreign taxes Digital Realty Trust, Inc. pays will reduce its cash available for distribution to stockholders.

To maintain Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions.

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generally must distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income each year, excluding capital gains, and Digital Realty Trust, Inc. will be subject to federal and state corporate income taxes to the extent that it distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income each year. In addition, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of its ordinary income, 95% of its capital gain net income and 100% of its undistributed income from prior years. While historically Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has satisfied these distribution requirements by making cash distributions to its stockholders, a REIT is permitted to satisfy these requirements by making distributions of cash or other property. We may need to borrow funds for Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to meet the REIT distribution requirements even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings. These borrowing needs could result from differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes, or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments.

Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.



## Index to Financial Statements

The maximum tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for these reduced rates. U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally may deduct up to 20% of the ordinary dividends (i.e., dividends not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) received from a REIT for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026. Although this deduction reduces the effective tax rate applicable to certain dividends paid by REITs (generally to 29.6% assuming the shareholder is subject to the 37% maximum rate), such tax rate is still higher than the tax rate applicable to corporate dividends that constitute qualified dividend income. Accordingly, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends treated as qualified dividend income, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including the per share trading price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s capital stock.

The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions which would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.

A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although we do not intend to hold any properties that would be characterized as held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business, unless a sale or disposition qualifies under certain statutory safe harbors, such characterization is a factual determination and no guarantee can be given that the IRS would agree with our characterization of our properties or that we will always be able to make use of the available safe harbors.

Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, its sources of income, the nature and diversification of its assets (including its proportionate share of Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s assets), the amounts it distributes to its stockholders and the ownership of its capital stock. If Digital Realty Trust, Inc. were to fail to comply with one or more of the asset tests at the end of any calendar quarter, it would need to correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing its REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forgo investments we might otherwise make or to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our performance and reduce amounts available for distribution to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders.

The power of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s Board of Directors to revoke Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s REIT election without stockholder approval may cause adverse consequences to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter provides that its board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate its REIT election, without the approval of its stockholders, if the board determines that it is no longer in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT. If Digital Realty Trust, Inc. ceases to qualify as a REIT, it would become subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income and it would no longer be required to distribute most of its taxable income to its stockholders and, accordingly, distributions Digital Realty Trust, L.P. makes to its unitholders could be similarly reduced.

If Digital Realty Trust L.P. were to fail to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. would fail to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.

We believe that Digital Realty Trust, L.P. has been organized and operated in a manner that will allow it to be treated as a partnership, and not an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. is not subject to federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including Digital Realty Trust, Inc., is allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, that partner's share of Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s income. No assurance can be provided, however, that the IRS will not challenge Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating Digital Realty Trust, L.P. as an association or publicly



## Index to Financial Statements

traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, would cease to qualify as a REIT. Such REIT qualification failure could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and would materially adversely affect the value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stock and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s units. Also, the failure of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. to qualify as a partnership would cause it to become subject to federal corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of its cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

Changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws and regulations, including changes to tax rates, legislation and other actions may adversely affect our results of operations, our stockholders, Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders and us.

We are headquartered in the United States with subsidiaries and operations globally and are subject to income taxes in these jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes. Although we believe that we have adequately assessed and accounted for our potential tax liabilities, and that our tax estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that additional taxes will not be due upon audit of our tax returns or as a result of changes to applicable tax laws. The governments of many of the countries in which we operate may enact changes to the tax laws of such countries, including changes to the corporate recognition and taxation of worldwide income. The nature and timing of any changes to each jurisdiction's tax laws and the impact on our future tax liabilities cannot be predicted with any accuracy but could materially and adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows.

Additionally, each of our properties is subject to real property and personal property taxes. These taxes may increase as tax rates change and as the properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Any increase in property taxes on our properties could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

Further, the rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Changes to the tax laws, with or without retroactive application, could materially and adversely affect Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s stockholders, Digital Realty Trust, L.P.'s unitholders and us. We cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect our investors and us. New legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly and negatively affect Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s ability to qualify as a REIT, the federal income tax consequences of such qualification, or the federal income tax consequences of an investment in us. Moreover, the law relating to the tax treatment of other entities, or an investment in other entities, could change, making an investment in such other entities more attractive relative to an investment in a REIT.

Tax liabilities and attributes inherited in connection with acquisitions may adversely impact our business.

From time to time we may acquire other corporations or entities and, in connection with such acquisitions, we may succeed to the historic tax attributes and liabilities of such entities. For example, if we acquire a C corporation and subsequently dispose of its assets within five years of the acquisition, we could be required to pay tax on any built-in gain attributable to such assets determined as of the date on which we acquired the assets. In addition, in order to qualify as a REIT, at the end of any taxable year, we must not have any earnings and profits accumulated in a non-REIT year. As a result, if we acquire a C corporation, we must distribute the corporation's earnings and profits accumulated prior to the acquisition before the end of the taxable year in which we acquire the corporation. We also could be required to pay the acquired entity's unpaid taxes even though such liabilities arose prior to the time we acquired the entity.

## Business Overview and Strategy

Digital Realty Trust, Inc., through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and its subsidiaries, delivers comprehensive space, power, and interconnection solutions that enable its customers and partners to connect with each other and service their own customers on a global technology and real estate platform. We are a leading global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions for customers across a variety of industry verticals. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. operates as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and our Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct our business and own our assets.

Our primary business objectives are to maximize:

(i) sustainable long-term growth in earnings and funds from operations per share and unit;

(ii) cash flow and returns to our stockholders and our Operating Partnership's unitholders through the payment of distributions; and

(iii) return on invested capital.

We expect to accomplish our objectives by achieving superior risk-adjusted returns, prudently allocating capital, diversifying our product offerings, accelerating our global reach and scale, and driving revenue growth and operating efficiencies. A significant component of our current and future internal growth is anticipated through the development of our existing space held for development, acquisition of land for future development, and acquisition of new properties.

We target high-quality, strategically located properties containing the physical and connectivity infrastructure that supports the applications and operations of data center and technology industry customers and properties that may be developed for such use. Most of our data center properties contain fully redundant electrical supply systems, multiple power feeds, above-standard cooling systems, raised floor areas, extensive in-building communications cabling and high-level security systems. We focus exclusively on owning, acquiring, developing and operating data centers because we believe that the growth in data center demand and the technology-related real estate industry generally will continue to outpace the overall economy.

We have developed detailed, standardized procedures for evaluating new real estate investments to ensure that they meet our financial, technical and other criteria. We expect to continue to acquire additional assets as part of our growth strategy. We intend to aggressively manage and lease our assets to increase their cash flow. We may continue to build out our development portfolio when justified by anticipated demand and returns.

We may acquire properties subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness or we may incur new indebtedness in connection with acquiring or refinancing these properties. Debt service on such indebtedness will have a priority over any cash dividends with respect to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock and preferred stock. We are committed to maintaining a conservative capital structure. We target a debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio at or less than



## Index to Financial Statements

5.5x, fixed charge coverage of greater than three times, and floating rate debt at less than 20% of total outstanding debt. In addition, we strive to maintain a well-laddered debt maturity schedule, and we seek to maximize the menu of our available sources of capital, while minimizing the cost.

## Summary of 2021 Significant Activities

We completed the following significant activities in 2021 as described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements:

- In January, we issued and sold €1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.625% Guaranteed Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"). The 2031 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Intrepid Holding B.V. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent and the OP. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately €988.3 million (approximately $1,206.4 million based on the exchange rate on the issuance date of January 12, 2021) after deducting managers' discounts and estimated offering expenses.

- In February, we redeemed €350 million of 2.750% notes due in 2023. As part of this redemption, we recorded a $17.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

- In March, we sold a portfolio of 11 data centers in Europe to Ascendas Reit, a Capital-and sponsored REIT, for total consideration of approximately $680.0 million. The total gain recorded as a result of this sale was approximately $332.0 million.

- In May, we redeemed all of the Parent’s outstanding Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock for $25.21 per share, or a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends up to but not including the redemption date (the “Series C Preferred Share Redemption”). The transaction resulted in a gain on redemption of $18.0 million. This amount is reflected as gain on redemption of preferred stock which increased net income available to common stockholders.

- In July, we issued and sold CHF 275 million aggregate principal amount of 0.20% guaranteed notes due 2026 and CHF 270 million aggregate principal amount of 0.55% guaranteed notes due 2029 (collectively referred to as, "the Swiss France Notes"). Net proceeds from the offering were approximately CHF 542.3 million (approximately $591 million based on the exchange rate on the issuance date of July 15, 2021). The net proceeds are intended to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed or future green building, energy and resource efficiency and renewable energy projects.

- In August, an existing unconsolidated joint venture between the Company and PGIM Real Estate (the "PGIM Joint Venture") completed the sale of a portfolio consisting of 10 data centers in North America for $581 million – which resulted in a gain on sale of assets for the joint venture. Our portion of the gain was $64 million and included as a component of Equity in Unconsolidated Entities in our consolidated income statements. In connection with completion of the sale, we also received a $19 million promote fee related to the partnership exceeding certain investor return thresholds over the life of the partnership. The amount received is included in fee income and other in our consolidated income statements.

- In September, we completed an underwritten public offering of 6,250,000 shares of the Parent's common stock, all of which were offered in connection with forward sale agreements we entered into with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers. The forward purchasers borrowed and sold an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of common stock in the public offering. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the forward purchaser. We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion (net of fees and estimated expenses) upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements (for which the timing is fully determined at our option and is expected to be no later than March 13, 2023).



## Index to Financial Statements

In November, we refinanced our global revolving credit facility and Yen revolving credit facility (collectively referred to as the "global revolving credit facilities"). The global revolving credit facilities provide for borrowings of up to $3.3 billion (including approximately $0.3 billion available to be drawn on the Yen revolving credit facility). The global revolving credit facility provides for borrowings in a variety of currencies and can be increased by an additional $1.5 billion, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. Both facilities mature on January 24, 2026, with two six-month extension options available. These facilities also feature a sustainability-linked pricing component, with pricing subject to adjustment based on annual performance targets, further demonstrating the Company's continued leadership and commitment to sustainable business practices.

## In December, we:

completed the listing of Digital Core REIT as a standalone Singapore real estate investment trust publicly traded on the Singapore Exchange. Digital Core REIT and its subsidiaries are hereafter referred to as the "SREIT". In connection with the listing, we contributed a portfolio of 10 operating data center properties valued at $1.4 billion to the SREIT in exchange for $919 million cash and an initial retained investment of approximately 39.4% in Digital Core REIT as well as a 10% direct interest in the underlying operating properties of the SREIT. As part of this transaction, we recognized a gain on sale of assets of approximately $1.0 billion; and

entered into a definitive agreement to acquire approximately 55% of the total equity interests in Teraco, Africa's leading carrier-neutral colocation provider. The remaining 45% will be held by a consortium of existing investors. The transaction values Teraco at approximately $3.5 billion. Close of the transaction is dependent upon customary closing conditions.

## Revenue Base

The majority of our revenue consists of rental income generated by the data center portfolio. Our ability to generate and grow revenue depends on several factors, including our ability to maintain or improve occupancy rates. A summary of our data center portfolio and related square feet occupied (excluding space under development or held for development) is shown below. Unconsolidated portfolios shown below consist of assets owned by unconsolidated entities in which we have invested. We often provide management services for these entities under management agreements and receive management fees. These are shown as Managed Unconsolidated Portfolio. Entities for which we do not provide such services are shown as Non-Managed Unconsolidated Portfolio.

## Leasing Activities

Due to the capital-intensive and long-term nature of the operations we support, our lease terms with customers are generally longer than standard commercial leases. As of December 31, 2021, our average remaining lease term was approximately five years.

Our ability to re-lease expiring space at rental rates equal to or in excess of current rental rates will impact our results of operations. The subsequent table summarizes our leasing activity in the year ended December 31, 2021:

(1) For some of our properties, we calculate square footage based on factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including power, required support space and common area.

(2) Rental rates represent average annual estimated base cash rent per rentable square foot – calculated for each contract based on total cash base rent divided by the total number of years in the contract (including any tenant

concessions). All rates were calculated in the local currency of each contract and then converted to USD based on average exchange rates for the year presented.

(3) Excludes short-term leases.

(4) Commencement dates for the leases signed range from 2021 to 2022.

(5) Includes leases signed for new and re-leased space.

(6) Other includes Powered Base Building shelf capacity as well as storage and office space within fully improved data center facilities.

We continue to see strong demand in most of our key metropolitan areas for data center space and, subject to the supply of available data center space in these metropolitan areas, we expect average aggregate rental rates on re-leased or renewed data center leases for 2022 expirations to generally be consistent with the rates currently being paid for the same space on a GAAP basis and on a cash basis. Our past performance may not be indicative of future results, and we cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our data centers will be re-leased at all or at rental rates equal to or above the current average rental rates. Further, re-leased/renewed rental rates in a particular metropolitan area may not be consistent with rental rates across our portfolio as a whole and may fluctuate from one period to another due to a number of factors, including local economic conditions, local supply and demand for data center space, competition

from other data center developers or operators, the condition of the property and whether the property, or space within the property, has been developed.

## Geographic concentration

We depend on the market for data centers in specific geographic regions and significant changes in these regional or metropolitan areas can impact our future results. The following table shows the geographic concentration of annualized rent from our portfolio, including data centers held as investments in unconsolidated entities.

<table><tr><td>Metropolitan Area</td><td>Percentage of December 31, 2021 total annualized rent (1)</td></tr><tr><td>Northern Virginia</td><td>19.5 %</td></tr><tr><td>Chicago</td><td>9.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>London</td><td>6.6 %</td></tr><tr><td>New York</td><td>6.2 %</td></tr><tr><td>Silicon Valley</td><td>6.1 %</td></tr><tr><td>Frankfurt</td><td>5.7 %</td></tr><tr><td>Dallas</td><td>5.5 %</td></tr><tr><td>Amsterdam</td><td>4.2 %</td></tr><tr><td>São Paulo</td><td>4.1 %</td></tr><tr><td>Singapore</td><td>4.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>Paris</td><td>2.2 %</td></tr><tr><td>Phoenix</td><td>2.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>San Francisco</td><td>1.9 %</td></tr><tr><td>Osaka</td><td>1.6 %</td></tr><tr><td>Atlanta</td><td>1.5 %</td></tr><tr><td>Other</td><td>19.9 %</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>100.0 %</td></tr></table>

(1) Annualized rent is monthly contractual rent (defined as cash base rent before abatements) under existing leases as of the end of the period presented, multiplied by 12. Includes consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated entities at the entities' 100% ownership level. The aggregate amount of abatements for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $108.7 million.

## Operating expenses

Operating expenses primarily consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, property management fees, insurance and site maintenance costs, and rental expenses on our ground and building leases. Our buildings require significant power to support data center operations and the cost of electric power and other utilities is a significant component of operating expenses.

Many of our leases contain provisions under which tenants reimburse us for all or a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by us. However, in some cases we are not entitled to reimbursement of property operating expenses, other than utility expense, and real estate taxes under our leases for Tum-Key Flex \( ^{®} \)  facilities. We expect to incur additional operating expenses as we continue to expand.

Costs pertaining to our asset management function, legal, accounting, corporate governance, reporting and compliance are categorized as general and administrative costs within operating expenses.

Other key components of operating expenses include: depreciation of our fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, and transaction and integration costs.

Other Income / (Expenses)



## Table of Contents

## Index to Financial Statements

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities, interest expense, and income tax expense make up the majority of other income/(expense). Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities represents our share of the income/(loss) of entities in which we invest, but do not consolidate under U.S. GAAP. The largest of these investments is currently our investment in Digital Core REIT, which is publicly traded on the Singapore Exchange ("SGX") and which owns a portfolio of 10 properties operating in the United States and Canada. Our second-largest equity-method investment is in Asecurity which is located primarily in Brazil. Refer to additional discussion of the SREIT and Asecurity in the footnotes to the financial statements.

## Results of Operations

As a result of the consistent and significant growth in our business since the first property acquisition in 2002, we evaluate period-to-period results for revenue and property level operating expenses on a stabilized vs. non-stabilized portfolio basis.

Stabilized: The stabilized portfolio includes properties owned as of the beginning of all periods presented with less than 5% of total rentable square feet under development.

Non-stabilized: The non-stabilized portfolio includes: 1) properties that were undergoing, or were expected to undergo, development activities during any of the periods presented, 2) any properties contributed to joint ventures, sold, or held for sale during the periods presented, and 3) any properties that were acquired or delivered at any point during the periods presented.

## Index to Financial Statements

Total operating revenues increased by approximately $524.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 driven primarily by growth in non-stabilized rental and other services revenue. Non-stabilized rental and other services revenue increased $499.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the completion of global development pipeline and related lease up operating activities and expansion into new markets in EMEA, offset by the impact of properties sold in 2020 and 2021 and due to the Intercon Combination, which contributed $303.8 million to the increase. Stabilized rental and other services revenue increased $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to increased tenant reimbursements associated with higher utility costs in Texas due to winter storm Uri less new leasing and renewals, net of expirations.

## Index to Financial Statements

Property level operating expenses include costs to operate and maintain the locations as well as taxes and insurance. Stabilized property operating and maintenance expenses increased by approximately $64.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily related to higher utility consumption at certain properties in the stabilized portfolio. Non-stabilized property operating and maintenance expenses increased $174.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to (i) the Interxion Combination, which contributed $127.5 million to the increase, (ii) the completion of global development pipeline and related lease up operating activities and expansion into new markets in EMEA offset by (iii) the impact of properties sold in 2020 and 2021.

The cost of electric power comprises a significant component of our operating expenses. Any additional taxation or regulation of energy use, including as a result of (i) new legislation that Congress may pass, (ii) the regulations that the EPA has proposed or finalized, (iii) regulations under legislation that states have passed or may pass, or (iv) any further legislation or regulations in the EU or other regions where we operate could significantly increase our costs, and we may not be able to effectively pass all of these costs on to our customers. These matters could adversely impact our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Stabilized property taxes and insurance increased by approximately $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily related to property tax reassessments for certain properties located in Chicago in the stabilized portfolio. Non-stabilized property taxes and insurance increased by approximately $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily related to property tax reassessments for certain properties located in Chicago and Dallas in the non-stabilized portfolio.

## Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses include costs which are either non-cash in nature (such as depreciation and amortization or which do not directly pertain to operation of data center properties. A comparison of other operating expenses for the respective periods is shown below (in thousands). The increases in depreciation and amortization and general and administrative expenses for the 2021 period as compared to 2020 were primarily driven by the Interxion Combination, which closed in March 2020.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entities

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities increased approximately $119.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 2020, primarily due to: (i) a $64 million gain we recorded as a component of our share of earnings in the PGIM joint venture which was associated with the joint venture's sale of a portfolio of 10 data centers in August 2021, and (ii) a $59.3 million increase primarily related to a reduction of the foreign-exchange loss recorded by our Ascently joint venture associated with re-measurement of its debt denominated in U.S. Dollars to Brazilian Real.



## Table of Contents

## Index to Financial Statements

## Gain on Disposition of Properties

Gain on disposition of properties, increased $1,063.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, due primarily to the approximately $1 billion gain we recorded on disposition of 10 operating properties to the SREIT on December 6, 2021. Refer to additional information in the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements."

The gain on disposition of properties recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of (i) a gain of $104.4 million on sale of Liverpoolweg 10 in Amsterdam for gross proceeds of approximately $21.5 million, and (ii) a gain of $306.5 million on sale of 10 Powered Base Building \(® properties (which comprised 12 data centers) in North America to Mapletree at a purchase consideration of approximately $557.0 million.

## Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

Loss from early extinguishment of debt decreased approximately $84.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to the redemption of the 3.950% 2022 Notes and 3.625% 2022 Notes in August 2020, offset by the redemption of the 2.750% 2023 Notes in February 2021.

## Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased by $34.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to an increase in the corporate tax rate in the United Kingdom from 19% to 25% during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

## Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $39.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense related to our term loan facility, which was paid off in full in January 2021. In addition, interest expense on our unsecured senior notes decreased as a result of lower rate debt.

## Liquidity and Capital Resources

The sections “Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Parent” and “Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Operating Partnership” should be read in conjunction with one another to understand our liquidity and capital resources on a consolidated basis. The term “Parent” refers to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, excluding our Operating Partnership. The term “Operating Partnership” or “OP” refers to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. on a consolidated basis.

## Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Parent

Our Parent does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time, incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company (which are fully reimbursed by the Operating Partnership) and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. If our Operating Partnership or such subsidiaries fail to fulfill their debt requirements, which trigger Parent guarantee obligations, then our Parent will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. Our Parent's only material asset is its investment in our Operating Partnership.

Our Parent’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common and preferred stock. Our Parent’s principal source of funding is the distributions it receives from our Operating Partnership.

As the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, our Parent has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our Operating Partnership's day-to-day management and control. Our Parent causes our Operating Partnership to



## Index to Financial Statements

distribute such portion of its available cash as our Parent may in its discretion determine, in the manner provided in our Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement.

As circumstances warrant, our Parent may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. Any proceeds from such equity issuances would generally be contributed to our Operating Partnership in exchange for additional equity interests in our Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership may use the proceeds to acquire additional properties, to fund development opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or equity securities.

Our Parent and our Operating Partnership are parties to an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering sales agreement dated January 4, 2019, as amended in 2020 (the "Sales Agreement"). In accordance with the Sales Agreement, following the date of the 2020 amendment, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.0 billion. Prior to the 2020 amendment, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. had offered and sold shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $652.2 million. The sales of common stock made under the Sales Agreement will be made in "at the market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued approximately 1.1 million common shares under the Sales Agreement at an average price of $161.92 per share. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $577.6 million remains available for future sales under the program. Our Parent has used and intends to use the net proceeds from the program to temporarily repay borrowings under our Operating Partnership's global revolving credit facilities, to acquire additional properties or businesses, to fund development opportunities and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt or the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt securities. For additional information on the Sales Agreement, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

On September 13, 2021, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. completed an underwritten public offering of 6,250,000 shares of its common stock, all of which were offered in connection with forward sale agreements it entered into with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers. The forward purchasers borrowed and sold an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock in the public offering. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the forward purchasers in the public offering. The Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion (net of fees and estimated expenses) upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, which is anticipated to be no later than March 13, 2023. Upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, the Operating Partnership is expected to issue partnership units to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in exchange for contribution of the net proceeds.

We believe our Operating Partnership's sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and funds available under its global revolving credit facility are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to our Parent and, in turn, for our Parent to make its dividend payments to its stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that our Operating Partnership's sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including making distribution payments to our Parent. The lack of availability of capital could adversely affect our Operating Partnership's ability to pay its distributions to our Parent, which would in turn, adversely affect our Parent's ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.

## Future Uses of Cash – Parent

Our Parent Company may from time to time seek to retire, redeem or repurchase its equity or the debt securities of our Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, redemptions or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.



## Index to Financial Statements

## Dividends and Distributions — Parent

Our Parent is required to distribute 90% of its taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Our Parent intends to make, but is not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders from cash flow from our Operating Partnership's operating activities. While historically our Parent has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property. All such distributions are at the discretion of our Parent's Board of Directors. Our Parent considers market factors and our Operating Partnership's performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Our Parent has distributed at least 100% of its taxable income annually since inception to minimize corporate level federal and state income taxes. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our intention to maintain our Parent's status as a REIT.

As a result of this distribution requirement, our Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its ongoing operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. Our Parent may need to continue to raise capital in the debt and equity markets to fund our Operating Partnership's working capital needs, as well as potential developments at new or existing properties, acquisitions or investments in existing or newly created joint ventures. In addition, our Parent may be required to use borrowing under the Operating Partnership's global revolving credit facility (which is guaranteed by our Parent), if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our Parent's REIT status.

Distributions out of our Parent's current or accumulated earnings and profits are generally classified as ordinary income whereas distributions in excess of our Parent's current and accumulated earnings and profits, to the extent of a stockholder's U.S. federal income tax basis in our Parent's stock, are generally classified as a return of capital. Distributions in excess of a stockholder's U.S. federal income tax basis in our Parent's stock are generally characterized as capital gain. Cash provided by operating activities has been generally sufficient to fund distributions on an annual basis. However, we may also need to utilize borrowings under the global revolving credit facility to fund distributions.

The expected tax treatment of distributions on our Parent's common stock and preferred stock paid in 2021 is as follows: approximately 9% ordinary income and 91% capital gain distribution. The tax treatment of distributions on our Parent's common stock and preferred stock paid in 2020 was as follows: approximately 72% ordinary income and 28% capital gain distribution. The tax treatment of distributions on our Parent's common stock paid in 2019 was as follows: approximately 83% ordinary income and 17% return of capital.

For additional information regarding dividends declared and paid by our Parent on its common and preferred stock for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, see Item 8, Note 14 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

## Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Operating Partnership

As of December 31, 2021, we had $142.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding $8.8 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of contractual capital expenditures plus other deposits. Our liquidity requirements primarily consist of:

• operating expenses.

• development costs and other capital expenditures associated with our properties.

• distributions to our Parent to enable it to make dividend payments.

• distributions to unitholders of common limited partnership interests in Digital Realty Trust, L.P.,

• debt service, and.

• potentially, acquisitions.



## Index to Financial Statements

On November 18, 2021, we refinanced our global revolving credit facility and Yen revolving credit facility. The global revolving credit facilities provide for borrowings of up to $3.3 billion (including approximately $0.3 billion available to be drawn on the Yen revolving credit facility). The global revolving credit facility provides for borrowings in a variety of currencies and can be increased by an additional $1.5 billion, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. Both facilities mature on January 24, 2026, with two six-month extension options available. The 2021 global revolving credit facility provides for borrowings in a variety of currencies, and includes the ability to add additional currencies in the future. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the global revolving credit facility to acquire additional properties, fund development opportunities and for general working capital and other corporate purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or equity securities. For additional information regarding our global revolving credit facility, see Item 8, Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

## Future Uses of Cash

Our properties require periodic investments of capital for customer-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements. Depending upon customer demand, we expect to incur significant improvement costs to build out and develop additional capacity. At December 31, 2021, we had open commitments, related to construction contracts of approximately $1.3 billion, including amounts reimbursable of approximately $37.8 million.

We currently expect to incur approximately $2.3 billion to $2.5 billion of capital expenditures for our development programs during the year ending December 31, 2022. This amount could go up or down, potentially materially, based on numerous factors, including changes in demand, leasing results and availability of debt or equity capital.

We are party to a definitive agreement under which we committed to acquire approximately 55% of the total equity interest in Teraco, Africa's leading carrier-neutral colocation provider. The transaction values Teraco at approximately $3.5 billion. Close of the transaction is dependent upon customary closing conditions.

## Development Projects

The costs we incur to develop our properties is a key component of our liquidity requirements. The following table summarizes our cumulative investments in current development projects as well as expected future investments in these projects as of the periods presented, excluding costs incurred or to be incurred by unconsolidated entities.

(1) We estimate the total net rentable square feet available for lease based on a number of factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including available power, required support space and common areas. Excludes square footage of properties held in unconsolidated entities. Square footage is based on current estimates and project plans, and may change upon completion of the project due to remeasurement.

(2) Represents balances incurred through December 31, 2021.



## Index to Financial Statements

(3) Represents estimated cost to complete specific scope of work pursuant to contract, budget or approved capital plan.

(4) Represents balances incurred through December 31, 2020.

(5) Represents approximately 849 acres as of December 31, 2021 and approximately 927 acres as of December 31, 2020.

(6) Excludes space held for development through unconsolidated entities.

Land inventory and space held for development reflect cumulative cost spent pending future development. Base building construction consists of ongoing improvements to building infrastructure in preparation for future data center fit-out. Data center construction includes 6.8 million square feet of Turn Key Flex \( ^{®} \)  and Powered Base Building \( ^{®} \)  product. Generally, we expect to deliver the space within 12 months; however, lease commencement dates may significantly impact final delivery schedules. Equipment pool and other inventory represent the value of long-lead equipment and materials required for timely deployment and delivery of data center construction fit-out. Campus, tenant improvements and other costs include the value of development work which benefits space recently converted to our operating portfolio and is composed primarily of shared infrastructure projects and first-generation tenant improvements.

## Capital Expenditures (Cash Basis)

The table below summarizes our capital expenditure activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

<table><tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan="3">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2021</td><td>2020</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Development projects</td><td>$ 2,176,203</td><td>$ 1,751,502</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Enhancement and improvements</td><td>2,812</td><td>1,024</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Recurring capital expenditures</td><td>217,103</td><td>210,727</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Total capital expenditures (excluding indirect costs)</td><td>$ 2,396,118</td><td>$ 1,963,253</td><td></td></tr></table>

For the year ended December 31, 2021, total capital expenditures increased $432.9 million to approximately $2,396.1 million from $1,963.3 million for the same period in 2020. Capital expenditures on our development projects plus our enhancement and improvements projects for the year ended December 31, 2021 were approximately $2,179.0 million, which reflects an increase of approximately 24% from the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to development activity at properties acquired in the Interxion Combination. Our development capital expenditures are generally funded by our available cash and equity and debt capital.

Indirect costs, including capitalized interest, capitalized in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $124.7 million and $101.0 million, respectively. Capitalized interest comprised approximately $53.5 million and $47.3 million of the total indirect costs capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Capitalized interest in the year ended December 31, 2021 increased, compared to the same period in 2020, due to an increase in qualifying activities. Excluding capitalized interest, indirect costs in the year ended December 31, 2021 increased compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees directly engaged in construction activities.

Consistent with our growth strategy, we actively pursue potential acquisition opportunities, with due diligence and negotiations often at different stages at different times. The dollar value of acquisitions for the year ending December 31, 2022 will depend upon numerous factors, including customer demand, leasing results, availability of debt or equity capital and acquisition opportunities. Further, the growing acceptance by private institutional investors of the data center asset class has generally pushed capitalization rates lower, as such private investors may often have lower return expectations than us. As a result, we anticipate near-term single asset acquisitions activity to comprise a smaller percentage of our growth while this market dynamic persists.

We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt or the equity of our Parent through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities of our Parent in open market purchases, privately negotiated

transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

## Sources of Cash

We expect to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including payment of scheduled debt maturities and funding of acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, with net cash from operations, future long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities and the proceeds of equity issuances by our Parent. We also may fund future short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, using our global revolving credit facilities pending permanent financing. As of February 22, 2022, we had approximately $2.4 billion of borrowings available under our global revolving credit facilities.

Our global revolving credit facility provides for borrowings up to $3.0 billion. We have the ability from time to time to increase the size of the global revolving credit facility by up to $1.5 billion, subject to the receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The global revolving credit facility matures on January 24, 2026, with two six-month extension options available. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the global revolving credit facility to fund our liquidity requirements from time to time. For additional information regarding our global revolving credit facility, see Note 11. "Debt of the Operating Partnership" to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.

In connection with the issuance of the Swiss Franc Notes in July 2021, we intend to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering of the Swiss Franc Notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed or future green building, energy and resource efficiency and renewable energy projects, including the development and redevelopment of such projects (collectively, "Eligible Green Projects"). Pending the allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds of the Swiss Franc Notes to Eligible Green Projects, all or a portion of an amount equal to the net proceeds from the Swiss Franc Notes were used to temporarily repay borrowings outstanding under the Operating Partnership's global credit facility and for other general corporate purposes. For additional information regarding our Swiss Franc Notes, see Note 11. "Debt of the Operating Partnership" to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.

## Distributions

All distributions on our units are at the discretion of our Parent's Board of Directors. For additional information regarding distributions paid on our common and preferred units for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, see Item 8, Note. 14 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our ratio of debt to total enterprise value was approximately 21% (based on the closing price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock on December 31, 2021 of $176.87. For this purpose, our total enterprise value is defined as the sum of the market value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total enterprise value ratio), plus the liquidation value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s preferred stock, plus the aggregate value of our Operating Partnership's units not held by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (with the per unit value equal to the market value of one share of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock and excluding long-term incentive units, Class C units and Class D units), plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2021 our debt had a weighted average term to initial maturity of approximately 6.0 years (or approximately 6.1 years assuming exercise of extension options).

## Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021, our pro-rata share of secured debt of unconsolidated entities was approximately $675.7 million.

## Cash Flows

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2021 to Year Ended December 31, 2020

The following table shows cash flows and ending cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances for the respective periods (in thousands).

<table><tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan="4">Year Ended December 31,</td></tr><tr><td>2021</td><td>2020</td><td>2019</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net cash provided by operating activities</td><td>$     1,702,228</td><td>$     1,706,541</td><td>$     1,513,817</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net cash used in investing activities</td><td>(1,061,721)</td><td>(2,599,347)</td><td>(274,992)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities</td><td>(590,630)</td><td>935,689</td><td>(1,272,021)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net (decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash</td><td>$     49,877</td><td>$     42,883</td><td>$      (33,196)</td><td></td></tr></table>

The changes in the activities that comprise net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of the following amounts (in thousands).

<table><tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan="2">Change</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">2021 vs 2020</td></tr><tr><td>Increase in cash used for improvements to investments in real estate</td><td>$</td><td>(456,706)</td></tr><tr><td>Decrease in cash paid for acquisitions in cash paid for business combinations and assets acquisition, net of cash and restricted cash acquired</td><td>$</td><td>716,552</td></tr><tr><td>Increase in net cash provided by proceeds from sale of real estate</td><td></td><td>1,126,457</td></tr><tr><td>Increase in cash provided by proceeds from the unconsolidated entities transactions</td><td></td><td>146,988</td></tr><tr><td>Other changes</td><td></td><td>4,335</td></tr><tr><td>Decrease in net cash used in investing activities</td><td>$</td><td>1,537,626</td></tr></table>

The 2021 decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by proceeds from (i) contribution of properties to the SREIT, (ii) sale of investments related to the sale of 11 data centers in Europe in March 2021 partially offset by the sale of 10 Powered Base Building \( ^{\circledR} \)  properties, which comprise 12 data centers, in North America to Malpétre in January 2020, (iii) an increase in cash used for improvements to investments in real estate and a decrease in cash paid for acquisitions related to the acquisition of an additional 49% ownership interest in the Westin Building Exchange in February 2020, and (iv) partially offset by an increase in cash used for improvements to investments in real estate.

The decrease in net cash provided by finance activities as compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to (i) a decrease of net proceeds from issuance of common stock, due to the full physical settlement of our forward equity agreements in September 2020, (ii) higher activity in the ATM equity offering program in 2020 compared to 2021, (iii) an increase in dividend and distribution payments for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to an increase in the number of shares outstanding subsequent to the Interxion Combination and (iv) offset by an increase in cash proceeds from short-term borrowings.

## Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests relate to the common units in our Operating Partnership that are not owned by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., which, as of December 31, 2021, amounted to 2.0% of our Operating Partnership common units. Historically, our Operating Partnership has issued common units to third party sellers in connection with our acquisition of real estate interests from such third parties.

Limited partners have the right to require our Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their common units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, we may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 0.2 million common units of the Operating Partnership that were issued to certain former unitholders of DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. in connection with the Company's acquisition of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. were outstanding, which are subject to certain restrictions and, accordingly, are not presented as permanent capital in the consolidated balance sheet.

## Inflation

Many of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above.

## Critical Accounting Policies

A critical accounting policy is one that involves management's use of judgement regarding expected outcomes of uncertain events in order to make estimates and assumptions that are material to an entity's financial condition and results of operations. Though we base our estimates and assumptions regarding these matters on historical and current conditions as well as future expectations, these estimates and assumptions are subjective in nature. Changes to the estimates and assumptions we make regarding these matters could affect our financial position and specific items in our results of operations used by stockholders, potential investors, industry analysts and lenders in the evaluation of our performance. Of the significant accounting policies described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the subsequent items have been identified by us as meeting the criteria to be considered critical accounting policies. Refer to Note 2 for more information on these critical accounting policies.

Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is intended to reflect the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). We use fair value measurements to enable us to determine the fair value of a variety of items. Fair value measurements are most significant to our financial statements in the following areas: 1) evaluation of recoverability of real estate and intangible assets (which involves comparison of fair value of the assets to net book value to quantify any potential impairments), 2) accounting for assets held for sale (which involves recording assets qualifying for held for sale treatment at the lower of book value or fair value less costs to sell), and 3) determination of fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in connection with business combinations or asset acquisitions as well as certain equity interests in unconsolidated entities.

We estimate fair value using available market information and valuation methods we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Given the significant amount of judgement and subjectivity involved in the determination of fair value, estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized on disposition. Refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Recoverability of Real Estate Assets. We assess the carrying value of our properties whenever events or circumstances indicate carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable ("triggering events"). Triggering events typically relate to a change in the expected holding period of a property, an adverse change in expected future cash flows of the property, or a trend of past cash flow losses that is expected to continue in the future. If our assessment of triggering events indicates the carrying value of a property or asset group might not be recoverable, we estimate the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and compare that amount to the book value of the assets. If our future undiscounted net cash flow evaluation indicates we are unable to recover the carrying value of a property or asset group, we record an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the property or asset group exceeds fair value. Refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Consolidation. We consolidate all entities that are wholly owned as well as all partially-owned entities that we control. In addition, we consolidate any variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which we are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate whether or not an entity is a VIE (and we are the primary beneficiary) through consideration of substantive terms in the arrangement to identify which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses/receive benefits from the entity.



## Index to Financial Statements

For entities that do not meet the definition of VIEs, we first consider if we are the general partner or a limited partner (or the equivalent in investments not structured as partnerships). We consolidate entities in which we are the general partner and the limited partners do not have rights that would preclude control. For entities in which we are the general partner, but the limited partners hold substantive participating or kick-out rights that prohibit our ability to control the entity, we apply the equity method of accounting since, as the general partner, we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the entities. For entities in which we are a limited partner, or that are not structured similar to a partnership, we consider factors such as ownership interest, voting control, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners. When factors indicate we have a controlling financial interest in an entity, we consolidate the entity. Refer to Note 8. "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities" of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Revenue Recognition. We generate the majority of our revenue by leasing our properties to customers under operating lease agreements, which are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term if we determine it is probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected over the lease term.

We estimate the probability of collection of lease payments based on customer creditworthiness, outstanding accounts receivable balances, and historical bad debts – as well as current economic trends. If collection of substantially all lease payments over the lease term is not probable, rental revenue is recognized when payment is received, and we record a full valuation allowance on the balance of any rent receivable, less the balance of any security deposits or letters of credit. If collection is subsequently determined to be probable, we: 1) resume recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis, 2) record incremental revenue such that the cumulative amount recognized is equal to the amount that would have been recorded on a straight-line basis since inception of the lease, and 3) reverse the allowance for bad debt recorded on outstanding receivables. Refer to Note 5. "Receivables" of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

## New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

## Funds From Operations

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit) in the Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, a gain from a pre-existing relationship, impairment charges and real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' FFO. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

## ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit ratings and other factors.

Analysis of Debt between Fixed and Variable Rate

We use interest rate swap agreements and fixed rate debt to reduce our exposure to interest rate movements. As of December 31, 2021, our consolidated debt was as follows (in millions):

<table><tr><td></td><td>Carrying Value</td><td>Estimated Fair Value</td></tr><tr><td>Fixed rate debt</td><td>$ 12,797.8</td><td>$ 13,383.5</td></tr><tr><td>Variable rate debt subject to interest rate swaps</td><td>—</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Total fixed rate debt (including interest rate swaps)</td><td>12,797.8</td><td>13,383.5</td></tr><tr><td>Variable rate debt</td><td>764.4</td><td>764.4</td></tr><tr><td>Total outstanding debt</td><td>$ 13,562.2</td><td>$ 14,147.9</td></tr></table>



## Index to Financial Statements

Interest rate derivatives and their fair values as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

<table><tr><td colspan="3">Notional Amount</td></tr></table>

(1) Represents debt which bears interest based on one-month U.S. LIBOR.

(2) Represents debt which bears interest based on one-month CDOR. Translation to U.S. dollars is based on exchange rates of $0.79 to 1.00 CAD as of December 31, 2020.

Sensitivity to Changes in Interest Rates

The following table shows the effects if assumed changes in interest rates occurred, based on fair values and interest expense as of December 31, 2021:

<table><tr><td>Assumed event</td><td>Change (S millions)</td></tr><tr><td>Increase in fair value of interest rate swaps following an assumed 10% increase in interest rates</td><td>0.0</td></tr><tr><td>Decrease in fair value of interest rate swaps following an assumed 10% decrease in interest rates</td><td>(0.0)</td></tr><tr><td>Increase in annual interest expense on our debt that is variable rate and not subject to swapped interest following a 10% increase in interest rates</td><td>0.2</td></tr><tr><td>Decrease in annual interest expense on our debt that is variable rate and not subject to swapped interest following a 10% decrease in interest rates</td><td>(0.2)</td></tr><tr><td>Increase in fair value of fixed rate debt following a 10% decrease in interest rates</td><td>17.6</td></tr><tr><td>Decrease in fair value of fixed rate debt following a 10% increase in interest rates</td><td>(24.5)</td></tr></table>

Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements of a variety of foreign currencies, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Our primary currency exposures are to the Euro, Japanese yen, British pound sterling and Singapore dollar. As a result of the Ascent entity and deconsolidation of Ascent, our exposure to foreign exchange risk related to the Brazilian real is limited to the impact that currency has on our share of the Ascent entity's operations and financial position. We attempt to mitigate a portion of the risk of currency fluctuations by financing our investments in local currency denominations in order to reduce our exposure to any foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in currencies other than the functional currencies of the associated entities. In addition, we may also hedge well-defined transactional exposures with foreign currency forwards or options, although there can be no assurances that these will be effective. As a result, changes in the relation of any such foreign currency to U.S. dollar may affect our revenues, operating margins and distributions and may also affect the book value of our assets and the amount of stockholders' equity.

## Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). We acquired Interxion and subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2021. Based on our assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2021, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page 83.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated income statements, and statements of comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III, properties and accumulated depreciation (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

## Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

## Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

## Evaluation of lease revenue

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company records rental revenue on a straight-line basis if the Company determines on a lease-by-lease basis it is probable substantially all lease payments over the term of the lease will be collected. Whenever the results of that assessment indicate that it is not probable that the Company will be able to collect substantially all lease payments over the remaining term of the lease, the Company records a reduction to rental revenue equal to the then-current combined balance of the deferred rent and amounts contractually due but unpaid for the lease (rent receivable), and ceases recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis and commences recognizing rental revenue on a cash collected basis. Rental and other services revenue was $4.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021 and deferred rent and rent receivable, net was $547.4 million and $370.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

We identified the evaluation of the probability of collection of lease payments as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the Company's probability assessment of collection of substantially all the lease payments for its leases required significant auditor judgment because of the subjective nature of the evidence obtained. Specifically, evaluating the creditworthiness of the customer and any guarantors required significant auditor judgment.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company's probability assessment of lease payment collection process, including controls related to the assessment of the creditworthiness of the customer and any guarantors. For a selection of the Company's leases, we evaluated the Company's determination of the collectibility of substantially all of the lease payments by: (i) comparing the legal name of customer and any guarantor to the underlying lease agreements and third-party credit rating report, (ii) evaluating the creditworthiness of the customer by assessing their credit rating, (iii) reading publicly available information, including the customer's financial statements, analyst reports, recent public filings, and news articles, and (iv) inquiring of Company employees to obtain evidence regarding creditworthiness of the customers.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated income statements and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III, properties and accumulated depreciation (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

## Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

## Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-
December 31, 2021 and 2020

## 1. Organization and Description of Business

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the Parent), through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (the Operating Partnership or the OP) and the subsidiaries of the OP (collectively, we, our, us or the Company), is a leading global provider of data center (including colocation and interconnection) solutions for customers across a variety of industry verticals ranging from cloud and information technology services, social networking and communications to financial services, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and consumer products. The OP, a Maryland limited partnership, is the entity through which the Parent, a Maryland corporation, conducts its business of owning, acquiring, developing and operating data centers. The Parent operates as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

The Parent’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the OP. As a result, the Parent generally does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the OP, issuing public securities from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Parent has not issued any debt but guarantees the unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The OP holds substantially all the assets of the Company. The OP conducts the operations of the business and has no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent, which are generally contributed to the OP in exchange for partnership units, in general, the OP generates the capital required by the Company's business primarily through the OP's operations, by the OP's or its affiliates' direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

## 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and are presented in our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. All of the accounts of the Parent, the OP, and the subsidiaries of the OP are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated.

Consolidation. We consolidate all entities that are wholly owned as well as all partially-owned entities that we control. In addition, we consolidate any variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which we are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate whether or not an entity is a VIE (and we are the primary beneficiary) through consideration of substantive terms in the arrangement to identify which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses/receive benefits from the entity.

For entities that do not meet the definition of VIEs, we first consider if we are the general partner or a limited partner (or the equivalent in investments not structured as partnerships). We consolidate entities in which we are the general partner and the limited partners do not have rights that would preclude control. For entities in which we are the general partner, but the limited partners hold substantive participating or kick-out rights that prohibit our ability to control the entity, we apply the equity method of accounting since, as the general partner, we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the entities. For entities in which we are a limited partner, or that are not structured similar to a partnership, we consider factors such as ownership interest, voting control, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners. When factors indicate we have a controlling financial interest in an entity, we consolidate the entity.

Management Estimates and Assumptions. U.S. GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period, reported amounts for assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Although we believe the estimates and assumptions we made are reasonable and appropriate, as discussed in the applicable sections throughout the consolidated financial statements, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact our reported results. Actual results and outcomes may differ from our assumptions.

Foreign Operations and Foreign Currencies. The functional currency of each of our consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated entities operating in other countries is the principal currency in which each entity's assets, liabilities, income and expenses are denominated, which may be different from the local currency of incorporation or the currency with which the entities conduct their operations. The primary functional currencies impacting our business include the Euro, Japanese yen, British pound sterling, Singapore dollar, and Brazilian real.

For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, we translate financial statements into U.S. dollars at the time we consolidate these subsidiaries' financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Certain balance sheet items, such as equity and capital-related accounts are reflected at historical exchange rates. Income statement accounts are generally translated at the average exchange rates for the reporting periods.

We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in the functional currency of the entities. When debt is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of an entity, a gain or loss can result. The associated adjustment is reflected in other (expenses) income, net, in the consolidated income statements, unless it is intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature or third-party debt that has been designated as a nonadvertive net investment hedge – in which case the associated adjustments are reflected as a cumulative translation adjustments as a component of other comprehensive income. In the statement of cash flows, cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the respective cash flows or at average exchange rates for the period, depending on the nature of the cash flow items.

Acquisition Accounting. We evaluate whether or not substantially all of the value of acquired assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination. For asset acquisitions: (1) transaction costs are included in the total costs of the acquisition and are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities acquired. (2) real estate assets acquired are measured based on their cost or total consideration exchanged with any excess consideration or bargain purchase amount allocated to real estate properties and their associated intangibles such as above and below-market leases, in-place leases, acquired ground leases, and customer relationships value and (3) all other assets and liabilities assumed, including any debt, are recorded at fair value. For business combinations: (1) transaction costs are expensed as incurred, (2) all acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets are recognized at fair value, (3) the amount of any purchase consideration that exceeds the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recognized as goodwill, and (4) to the extent the purchase consideration is less than the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, a gain on bargain purchase is recognized.

When we obtain control of an unconsolidated entity that we previously held as an equity method investment and the acquisition qualifies as a business combination, we remeasure our previously held interest in the unconsolidated entity at its acquisition-date fair value, derecognize the book value associated with that interest, and recognize any resulting gain or loss in earnings.

We allocate purchase price primarily using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs (further defined in Fair Value Measurements) as follows:

Real Estate. The fair value of acquired land is determined based on relevant market data, such as comparable land sales. The fair value of acquired improvements is determined based on replacement cost as adjusted for any physical and/or market obsolescence. Operating properties are valued as if they are vacant (“as-if-vacant”) by applying an income approach methodology using either a discounted cash flow analysis or by applying a capitalization rate to the estimated Net Operating Income (“NOI”) of a property. As-if-vacant values consider estimated carrying costs during expected lease-up periods and costs to execute similar leases (based on current market conditions). Carrying costs during expected lease up periods include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses as well as estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods. Costs to execute similar leases include lease commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs.

Lease Intangibles. The portion of the purchase price related to acquired in-place leases is recorded as intangible assets and liabilities as follows:

- Above and below market leases: We use a discounted cash flow approach to determine the estimated present value of any difference between contractual rents for acquired in-place leases as compared to current market rents. If rents on acquired in-place leases are higher than current market rents, we record an intangible asset for the favorable rents. If rents on acquired in-place leases are lower than current market rents, we record a liability for the unfavorable rents. Favorable rent assets are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. Unfavorable rent liabilities are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial lease term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal periods.

- In-place lease value: Since the as-if-vacant model is used to determine the value of acquired operating properties, the value of such properties does not include the value associated with having existing tenants who are leasing space in the purchased properties. Having in-place tenants allows buyers to avoid costs associated with leasing the property as well as any rent losses and unreimbursed operating expenses during the lease-up period. An asset for such benefits is recorded separately as in-place lease value. In-place lease value is determined based on estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods as well as costs to execute similar leases. We determine expected carrying costs and costs to execute similar leases in the same manner as described in the previous discussion of the valuation of operating properties using the as-if-vacant model. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.

- Customer relationship value: In some transactions, customers acquired are expected to generate recurring revenues beyond existing in-place lease terms. We utilize the multi-period excess earnings method to determine value customer relationship value, if any. Key factors reflected in this approach include: (1) projected revenue growth from existing customers, (2) historical customer lease renewals and attrition rates, (3) rental renewal probabilities and related market terms, (4) estimated operating costs, and (5) discount rate. Customer relationship value is amortized to expense ratably over the anticipated life of substantially all of the acquired customer relationships that are expected to generate excess earnings.

Debt. We recognize the fair value of any acquired debt based on contractual future cash flows discounted using borrowing spreads and market interest rates that would be available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. If acquired debt is publicly-traded, we utilize available market data to determine fair value of the



# DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- (Continued)
December 31, 2021 and 2020

debt. Any discount or premium on the principal is included in the carrying value of the debt and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Noncontrolling interests. The fair value of the ownership percentage of acquired entities held by third parties is determined based on the fair value of the consolidated net assets acquired – adjusted for any put or call options or other such features associated of the noncontrolling interests.

Other acquired assets and liabilities. The fair value of other acquired assets and liabilities is determined using the best information available. For working capital items that are short-term in nature, fair value is generally presumed to equal the seller's carrying value, unless facts and circumstances suggest otherwise.

Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is intended to reflect the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). We estimate fair value using available market information and valuation methods we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Given the significant amount of judgement and subjectivity involved in the determination of fair value, estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized on disposition. There are three levels in the fair value hierarchy under US GAAP, which are:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity can access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 – Inputs that are directly or indirectly observable for the associated asset or liability, but which do not qualify as Level 1 inputs.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In instances where inputs from multiple different levels of the fair value hierarchy are used to determine fair value, the lowest level input that is significant is used to determine the fair-value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair-value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. We utilize fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the fair value of: marketable equity securities, share-based compensation awards, derivative instruments, and outstanding debt. Such measurements are also regularly utilized in assessing whether or not impairments may exist on intangible assets (including goodwill). In addition, we utilize fair value measurements on a non-recurring basis to determine the fair value associated with assets held for sale, acquisitions of assets, and acquisitions of businesses.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities. Investments in unconsolidated entities as reflected on the consolidated balance sheets includes all investments accounted for using the equity method. We use the equity method to account for these investments, because we have the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies, but do not control them. Equity method investments are initially recognized at our cost. Transaction costs related to the formation of equity method investments are also capitalized. We subsequently adjust these balances to reflect: (1) our proportionate share of net earnings/losses of the entities and accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, (2) distributions received, (3) contributions made, (4) sales and redemptions of our investments, and (5) certain other adjustments, as appropriate. When circumstances indicate there may have been a reduction in the value of an equity method investment, we evaluate whether or not the loss in value is other than temporary. If we determine that a loss in value is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the equity investment at fair value.

With regard to the cash flow classifications of distributions from unconsolidated entities, we have elected the nature of the distribution approach as the information is available to us to determine the nature of the underlying activity that generated the distributions. In accordance with this approach, cash flows generated from the operations of an unconsolidated entity are classified as a return on investment (cash inflow from operating activities) and cash flows that are generated from property sales, debt refinancing or sales and redemptions of our investments are classified as a return of investment (cash inflow from investing activities).

The Company has a negligible value of investments accounted for under the cost-method. These investments are included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. We consider all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions, and short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We invest our cash with high-credit quality institutions. We may invest our cash balances in money market accounts that are not insured. We do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk associated with our cash and cash equivalents, and have not realized any losses associated with cash investments or accounts.

Restricted Cash. Cash that is held for a specific purpose and thus not available to us for immediate or general business use is categorized separately from cash and cash equivalents and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Restricted cash primarily consists of contractual capital expenditures and other deposits.

Assets Held for Sale. We classify an asset as held for sale when the following criteria are met: 1). management that has the proper authority has approved and committed to a plan to sell, 2). the asset is available for immediate sale, 3). an active program to locate a buyer has commenced, 4). the sale of the asset is probable, and 5). transfer of the asset is expected to occur within one year. Assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated.

Investments in Real Estate. Investments in real estate are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciable lives of assets are stated below.

Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

## Capitalization of Costs.

Development Costs - During the land development and construction periods of qualifying projects, we capitalize direct and indirect project costs that are clearly associated with the development of properties. Capitalized project costs include all costs associated with the development of a property. Such costs include the cost of: land and buildings, improvements and fixed equipment, design and engineering, other construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, legal fees, personnel working on the project, and corporate supervision. Capitalization of costs ceases when development projects are substantially complete and ready for their intended use. We generally consider development projects to be substantially complete and ready for intended use upon receipt of a certificate of occupancy.

Leasing commissions - Leasing commissions and other direct and indirect costs associated with the acquisition of tenants are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we capitalized deferred leasing costs of approximately $42.8 million, $40.8 million and $30.8 million, respectively. Deferred leasing costs are included in customer relationship value, deferred leasing costs and intangibles on the consolidated balance sheet and amounted to approximately $249.3 million and $272.3 million, net of accumulated amortization of $453.0 million and $401.4 million, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense on leasing costs was approximately $83.4 million, $76.0 million, and $75.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Recoverability of Real Estate Assets. We assess the carrying value of our properties whenever events or circumstances indicate carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable ("triggering events"). Triggering events typically relate to a change in the expected holding period of a property, an adverse change in expected future cash flows of the property, or a trend of past cash flow losses that is expected to continue in the future. If our assessment of triggering events indicates the carrying value of a property or asset group might not be recoverable, we estimate the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and compare that amount to the book value of the assets. If our future undiscounted net cash flow evaluation indicates we are unable to recover the carrying value of a property or asset group, we record an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value of the property or asset group exceeds fair value.

We generally estimate fair value of rental properties using a discounted cash flow analysis that includes projections of future revenues, expenses, and capital improvements that a market participant would use. In certain cases, we may supplement this analysis by obtaining outside broker opinions of value. When determining undiscounted future cash flows, we consider factors such as future operating income trends and prospects as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors.

Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is



# DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- (Continued)
December 31, 2021 and 2020

evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has one reportable segment and one reporting unit. We evaluate goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. In addition to monitoring for impactful events and circumstances, we perform an annual one-step quantitative test in which we compare the reporting unit's carrying value to its fair value. We determine the fair value of the reporting unit based on quoted market prices of the Company's publicly-traded shares. To the extent the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we would record an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We have not recognized any goodwill impairments since our inception. Since a significant aspect of our goodwill is denominated in foreign currencies, changes to our goodwill balance can occur over time due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Other acquired intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationship value and in-place lease value. All of our other acquired intangible assets have finite useful lives. If impairment indicators arise with respect to these finite-lived intangible assets, we evaluate for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value of the assets, we record an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. We have no indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company provides a variety of share-based compensation awards to employees and directors, including awards that contain: time-based vesting criteria and a combination of time-based and market-performance based criteria. The Company measures all share-based compensation awards at grant date fair value. The fair value of awards that include only a time-based service condition ("time-based awards") is the closing price of the Company's publicly-traded shares at the grant date – and is expensed over the requisite service period. The fair value of awards that include a combination of market performance based criteria and time-based vesting is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation method. The fair value of these awards is expensed over the requisite service period – and is not adjusted based on actual achievement of the market performance condition.

Derivative Instruments. As part of the Company’s risk management program, a variety of financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts, may be used to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency exposures. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage risks, and not for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value. The majority of inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, credit valuation adjustments utilize Level 3 inputs (such as estimates of current credit spreads). Based on the insignificance of credit valuation adjustments to the overall valuation of our derivatives, we have determined that valuation of our outstanding derivatives is properly categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized periodically either in earnings or in other comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether the derivative financial instrument is undesignated or qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it represents a fair value, cash flow, or net investment hedge. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items when they occur. In the event it becomes probable the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates will not occur, the derivative would be terminated and the amount in other comprehensive income (loss) would be recognized in earnings.

Gains and losses representing components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for cash flow and fair value hedges are recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis in the same caption as the hedged item over the term of the hedge. Gains and losses representing components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for net investment hedges are recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis over the term of the hedge.

December 31, 2021 and 2020

Interest rate swaps – The Company uses interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements related to certain floating rate debt obligations. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. We record all interest rate swaps on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). Variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on expected future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk for the Company and for the respective counterparties. The counterparties of interest rate swaps are generally larger financial institutions engaged in providing a variety of financial services.

Interest rate derivatives are presented on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheets – with interest rate swap assets presented in other assets, and interest rate swap liabilities presented in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, there was no impact from netting arrangements, because the Company had no derivatives in liability positions. Net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps is recognized as interest expense. Gains and losses resulting from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements are deferred and amortized as adjustments to interest expense over the remaining period of the debt originally covered by the terminated swap.

Foreign currency contracts – The Company may, from time to time, enter into forward contracts pursuant to which we agree to sell an amount of one currency in exchange for an agreed-upon amount of another currency. These agreements are typically entered into to manage exposures related to transactions that are settled in currencies other than the functional currency of the legal entity that is party to the transactions. To the extent the Company does not designate such instruments as hedges, changes in the fair value of these instruments are reflected in earnings. The Company had no outstanding derivative foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 2021.

Hedge of Net Investment in Foreign Operations – The Company has no outstanding derivatives that function as hedges of net investments in foreign operations. However, notes denominated in the Swiss franc with a total outstanding principle balance of 545 million Swiss francs (“CHF”) issued by Digital Intrepid Holding B.V. (“DIIH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP with Euro functional currency) are designated as non-derivative hedges of DIIH’s net investment in certain of its subsidiaries that have CHF as the functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these hedges, to the extent they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and will be deferred until disposal of the underlying assets (which is currently not expected to occur). Any amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are reflected as foreign-currency transaction gains/losses which are included as Other (expense) income, net in the consolidated income statements.

See Note 17. “Derivative Instruments” for further discussion on the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments.

Income Taxes. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generally is not required to pay U.S. federal corporate income tax to the extent taxable income is currently distributed to its stockholders. If Digital Realty Trust, Inc. were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes (including any applicable alternative minimum tax for taxable years prior to 2018) on its taxable income.

The Company is subject to foreign, state and local income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it conducts business. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, local and foreign income taxes to the extent there is



# DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- (Continued)

December 31, 2021 and 2020

taxable income. Accordingly, the Company recognizes current and deferred income taxes for the Company and its taxable REIT subsidiaries, including for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, as applicable.

We assess our significant tax positions in accordance with U.S. GAAP for all open tax years and determine whether we have any material unrecognized liabilities from uncertain tax benefits. If a tax position is not considered "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the tax position are to be recognized (for financial statement purposes). As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we have no assets or liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We classify interest and penalties from significant uncertain tax positions as interest expense and operating expense, respectively, in our consolidated income statements. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we had no such interest or penalties. The tax year 2017 and thereafter remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions with which the Company files tax returns.

See Note 13. "Income Taxes" for further discussion on income taxes.

Transactional-based Taxes. We account for transactional-based taxes, such as value added tax, or VAT, for our international properties on a net basis.

Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests. Noncontrolling interests represent the share of consolidated entities owned by third parties. We recognize each noncontrolling holder's share of the fair value of the respective entity's net assets as noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheets at the date of formation or acquisition. Noncontrolling interest balances are adjusted for the noncontrolling holder's share of additional contributions, distributions, and net earnings or losses.

Partnership units which are contingently redeemable for cash are classified as redeemable noncontrolling interests and presented in the mezzanine section of the Company's consolidated balance sheets between total liabilities and stockholder's equity. Redeemable noncontrolling interests include amounts related to partnership units issued by consolidated subsidiaries of the Company in which redemption for equity is outside the control of the Company.

The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented on the Company's consolidated income statements as income (or loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

## Revenue Recognition.

Rental and other services revenue – We generate the majority of our revenue by leasing our properties to customers under operating lease agreements, which are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term if we determine it is probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected over the lease term. We commence recognition of revenue from rentals at the date the property is ready for its intended use by the tenant and the tenant takes possession, or controls the physical use of the leased asset. The excess of rents recognized as revenue over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is included in deferred rent. Rental payments received in excess of revenue recognized are classified as accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. Unpaid rents that are contractually due are included in accounts and other receivables.

We estimate the probability of collection of lease payments based on customer creditworthiness, outstanding accounts receivable balances, and historical bad debts – as well as current economic trends. If collection of substantially all lease payments over the lease term is not probable, rental revenue is recognized when payment is received, and we record a



# DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- (Continued)
December 31, 2021 and 2020

full valuation allowance on the balance of any rent receivable, less the balance of any security deposits or letters of credit. If collection is subsequently determined to be probable, we: 1). resume recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis, 2). record incremental revenue such that the cumulative amount recognized is equal to the amount that would have been recorded on a straight-line basis since inception of the lease, and 3). reverse the allowance for bad debt recorded on outstanding receivables.

Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are recovered from our customers. We record amounts reimbursable by customers ("tenant recoveries") as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred – which is generally on a ratable basis through the term of the lease. Tenant recoveries are recognized as revenue, because we are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing and selecting goods and services from third-party vendors and bear the associated credit risk.

We account for and present rental revenue and tenant recoveries as a single component under rental and other services as the timing of recognition is the same, the pattern with which we transfer the right of use of the property and related services to the lessee are both on a straight-line basis and our leases qualify as operating leases.

Interconnection services include port and cross-connect services generally provided on a month-to-month, one-year or multi-year term. We bill for these services on a monthly basis and recognizes the revenue over the period the service is provided. Revenue for cross-connect installations is generally recognized in the period the cross-connect is installed. Interconnection services that are not specific to a particular leased space are accounted for under Topic 606 and have terms that are generally one year or less.

Fee income and other – Fee income arises primarily from contractual management agreements with entities in which we have a noncontrolling interest. Management fees are recognized as earned under the respective agreements. The Company also provides property and construction management services. Depending on the nature of the agreements, revenue for these services is recognized either on a ratable monthly basis as the service is provided, or when certain performance milestones are met. Service revenues are typically recognized on an equal monthly basis based on the minimum fee to be earned. The monthly amounts could be adjusted depending on whether certain performance milestones are met.

We utilize the practical expedient in ASC 842 that allows us to account for lease and non-lease components associated with each lease as a single lease component recorded within rental and other services, instead of accounting for such items separately under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue (“ASC 606”). We recognize revenue for items that do not qualify for revenue recognition under ASC 842 under ASC 606. Revenue recognized as a result of applying ASC 606 was approximately 6% of total operating revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Transaction and Integration Expense. Transaction expenses include closing costs, broker commissions and other professional fees, including legal and accounting fees related to business combinations or acquisitions that were not consummated. Integration costs include transition costs associated with organizational restructuring (such as severance and retention payments and recruiting expenses), third-party consulting expenses directly related to the integration of acquired companies (in areas such as cost savings and synergy realization, technology and systems work), and internal costs such as training, travel and labor, reflecting time spent by Company personnel on integration activities and projects. Recurring costs are recorded in general and administrative expense.

Gains on Disposition of Properties. We recognize gains on the disposition of real estate when the recognition criteria have been met, generally at the time the risks and rewards and title have transferred, and we no longer have substantial continuing involvement with the real estate sold. We recognize losses from the disposition of real estate when known.

## New Accounting Pronouncements.

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance that is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions contained in existing guidance and amending other guidance to simplify several other income tax accounting matters. The Company adopted the updated guidance for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Reference Rate Reform. The Financial Conduct Authority and other independent groups announced in July 2017, that beginning in 2021, they would stop requiring banks to submit rates for the calculation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). As a result, in the U.S. the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR in debt and derivative financial instruments. Other global regulators have also undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify a preferred alternative rate for other interbank offered rates (“IBORs”). Both LIBOR and IBOR are herein referred to as “IBOR-indexed rate”. In November 2020, the Federal Reserve Board along with various independent groups announced the potential for certain USD LIBOR tens to continue to be published until June 2023. This change would allow most legacy USD LIBOR contracts to mature before disruptions occur in the USD LIBOR market, without the need to transition these contracts to SOFR.

In March 2020, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) that provided practical expedients to address existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting due to the expected market transition from an IBOR-indexed rate to alternative reference rates, such as SOFR for LIBOR (“reference rate reform”).

The first practical expedient within the ASU allows companies to elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to debt, derivative, and lease contracts affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The second practical expedient allows companies to change the reference rate and other critical terms related to the reference rate reform in derivative hedge documentation without having to designate the hedging relationship – allowing companies to continue applying hedge accounting to existing cash flow and net investment hedges.

The ASU was effective on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2020 and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We have not modified any contracts to date, but will continue to evaluate debt, derivative, and lease contracts that are modified in the future to ensure they are eligible for modification relief and apply the available practical expedients as needed.

Business Combinations. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is applicable on a prospective basis and is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022 (or in January 1, 2023 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

We determined that all other recently issued accounting pronouncements that have yet to be adopted by the Company will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or do not apply to our operations.

## 3. Business Combinations

The acquisition of Interxion in 2020 is the only material business combination that was completed by the Company in any of the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Interxion Combination in 2020

We acquired Interxion on March 9, 2020, completing the transaction on March 12, 2020 for total equity consideration of approximately $7.0 billion, including approximately $108.5 million of assumed cash and cash equivalents. The following table summarizes the acquired assets and liabilities recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

<table><tr><td></td><td>Final Amounts</td></tr><tr><td>Land</td><td>190,970</td></tr><tr><td>Building and improvements</td><td>3,166,988</td></tr><tr><td>Construction in progress and space held for development</td><td>397,825</td></tr><tr><td>Operating lease right-of-use assets</td><td>553,987</td></tr><tr><td>Goodwill</td><td>4,338,711</td></tr><tr><td>Customer relationship value and other intangibles</td><td>1,052,811</td></tr><tr><td>Debt assumed</td><td>(1,662,276)</td></tr><tr><td>Finance lease obligations</td><td>(47,797)</td></tr><tr><td>Operating lease liabilities</td><td>(553,987)</td></tr><tr><td>Deferred tax liability, net</td><td>(535,990)</td></tr><tr><td>Working capital liabilities, net</td><td>(24,738)</td></tr><tr><td>Total purchase consideration</td><td>6,876,504</td></tr><tr><td>Assumed cash and cash equivalents</td><td>108,548</td></tr><tr><td>Total equity consideration</td><td>6,985,052</td></tr></table>

Goodwill recorded as part of this transaction is not expected to be deductible for local tax purposes. This transaction enabled the Company to strengthen its ability to provide solutions on a global basis using a diversified product offering of data center solutions for small and large footprint deployments as well as interconnection services. We believe this strategic benefit of the acquisition supports the balance of goodwill recorded.

Unaudited pro forma financial information based on our historical consolidated income statements adjusted to give effect to the Interxion Combination as if it occurred on January 1, 2019, is shown below. Pro forma adjustments primarily relate to merger expenses, depreciation expense on acquired buildings and improvements, amortization of acquired intangibles, and estimated interest expense related to financing transactions, the proceeds of which were used to fund the repayment of Interxion debt in connection with the Interxion Combination. Pro forma net income available to common stockholders/unitholders was adjusted to exclude $65.7 million of merger-related costs incurred by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2020 and to include these charges for the year ended December 31, 2019.

## 4. Leases

## Lessor Accounting

We generate the majority of our revenue by leasing our operating properties to customers under operating lease agreements. The manner in which we recognize these transactions in our financial statements is described in the Revenue Recognition section of Footnote 1 to these consolidated financial statements.

A summary of minimum lease payments due from our customers under operating leases of land, prestabilized development properties, and operating properties with lease periods of greater than one year at December 31, 2021 (in thousands) is shown below. These amounts do not reflect future rental revenues from renewal or replacement of existing leases unless we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option or the lessee has the sole ability to exercise the option. Reimbursements of operating expenses and variable rent increases are excluded from the table below.

<table><tr><td></td><td>Operating leases</td></tr><tr><td>2022</td><td>$ 2,483,938</td></tr><tr><td>2023</td><td>1,859,306</td></tr><tr><td>2024</td><td>1,529,889</td></tr><tr><td>2025</td><td>1,218,396</td></tr><tr><td>2026</td><td>933,773</td></tr><tr><td>Thereafter</td><td>3,044,931</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$ 11,070,233</td></tr></table>

## Lessee Accounting

We lease space and equipment at certain of our data centers from third parties under noncancelable lease agreements. Leases for our data centers expire on various dates through 2069. Certain of our data centers, primarily in Europe and Singapore, are subject to ground leases. As of December 31, 2021, the termination dates of these ground leases ranged from 2049 to 2108. In addition, our corporate headquarters along with several regional office locations are subject to leases with termination dates ranging from 2022 to 2028. The leases generally require us to make fixed rental payments that increase at defined intervals during the term of the lease plus pay our share of common area, real estate and utility expenses as incurred. The leases do not contain residual value guarantees and do not impose material restrictions or covenants on us. Further, the leases have been classified and accounted for as either operating or finance leases. Rent expense related to operating leases included in rental property operating and maintenance expense in the consolidated income statements amounted to approximately $143.8 million, $118.8 million and $83.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases and finance leases was 13 years and 23 years, respectively. We do not include renewal options in the lease term for calculating the lease liability unless we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 2.7% for operating leases and 3.0% for finance leases at December 31, 2021. We assigned a collateralized interest rate to each lease based on the term of the lease and the currency in which the lease is denominated.

Maturities of lease liabilities as of December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

<table><tr><td></td><td>Operating lease liabilities</td><td>Finance lease liabilities</td></tr><tr><td>2022</td><td>$     158,331</td><td>$     12,608</td></tr><tr><td>2023</td><td>163,586</td><td>31,424</td></tr><tr><td>2024</td><td>165,467</td><td>11,648</td></tr><tr><td>2025</td><td>166,015</td><td>11,699</td></tr><tr><td>2026</td><td>161,199</td><td>11,750</td></tr><tr><td>Thereafter</td><td>963,874</td><td>225,541</td></tr><tr><td>Total undiscounted future cash flows</td><td>1,778,472</td><td>304,670</td></tr><tr><td>Less: Imputed interest</td><td>(266,285)</td><td>(86,080)</td></tr><tr><td>Present value of undiscounted future cash flows</td><td>$     1,512,187</td><td>$     218,590</td></tr></table>

## 5. Receivables

Refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition” for discussion of our accounting policies related to accounts receivable, deferred rent and related allowances.

Accounts and Other Receivables, Net

Accounts and other receivables, net is primarily comprised of contractual rents and other lease-related obligations currently due from customers. These amounts are shown in the subsequent table as Accounts receivable – trade. Other receivables shown separately from Accounts receivable – trade, consist primarily of amounts that have not yet been billed to customers, such as for utility reimbursements and installation fees.

## Deferred Rent

Deferred rent represents rental income that has been recognized as revenue under ASC 842, but which is not yet due from customers under their existing rental agreements. The Company recognizes an allowance against deferred rent receivables to the extent it becomes no longer probable that a customer or group of customers will be able to make substantially all of their required cash rental payments over the entirety of their respective lease terms.

## 7. Acquisitions and Dispositions of Properties

## Acquisitions of Properties

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, acquisitions of properties that did not qualify as business combinations were immaterial to our financial statements – both individually and in the aggregate.

## Disposition of Properties to Digital Core REIT

On December 6, 2021, we completed the listing of Digital Core REIT as a standalone real estate investment trust publicly traded on the Singapore Exchange ("SGX") under the ticker symbol: DCRU. Hereafter, Digital Core REIT and its associated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Singapore REIT ("SREIT"). In connection with the listing, the Company contributed a portfolio of 10 operating data center properties to the SREIT. The fair value of these properties was determined to be approximately $1.4 billion based on two separate third party appraisal reports. In exchange for the contribution of these properties, the Company received: 1), $919 million cash and 2), a 39.4% equity interest in the publicly-traded Digital Core REIT entity, while retaining a 10% direct interest in the operating properties that were contributed by the Company to the SREIT. In addition, the Company received approximately $13 million of acquisition fees paid to the Company by Digital Core REIT in the form of additional units in Digital Core REIT.

The Company determined the fair market value of its 10% retained investment in the properties contributed to the SREIT based on its retained ownership percentage applied to the appraised value of the properties. This approach was deemed appropriate because the Company determined that a discount for lack of marketability and/or lack of control associated with its 10% direct interest in the properties was not warranted.

As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a gain on sale of assets of approximately $1.0 billion – which is summarized below (in millions).

<table><tr><td>Cash received</td><td>$</td><td>919.1</td></tr><tr><td>Fair market value of retained investment in SREIT</td><td></td><td>521.4</td></tr><tr><td>Acquisition fees paid in Digital Core REIT units</td><td></td><td>13.0</td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td>Tax on acquisition fees</td><td>(3.0)</td></tr><tr><td>Net book value of assets contributed</td><td>(439.3)</td></tr><tr><td>Gain on disposition of properties</td><td>$ 1,011.2</td></tr></table>

The Company provides property management and other services to the SREIT in exchange for contractual fees that are payable to the Company in cash or in additional units of the SREIT. The Company's retained investment in the SREIT is accounted for as an equity method investment, based on the conclusion that the Company has significant influence over (but does not control) the SREIT.

The assets and liabilities sold to the SREIT were not representative of a significant component of our portfolio, nor did the sale represent a significant shift in our strategy.

## Disposition of Other Properties

The Company sold the following other real estate properties during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

<table><tr><td>Location / Portfolio</td><td>Metro Area</td><td>Date Sold</td><td>Gross Proceeds / Fair Value (in millions)</td><td>Gain on Sale / contribution (in millions)</td></tr><tr><td>European Portfolio</td><td>Various</td><td>Mar 16, 2021</td><td>$     680.0</td><td>$     332.0</td></tr><tr><td>Other</td><td>Various</td><td>2021</td><td>109.6</td><td>37.7</td></tr><tr><td>Naritaweg 52</td><td>Amsterdam</td><td>Dec 30, 2020</td><td>6.1</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Liverpoolweg 10</td><td>Amsterdam</td><td>Jul 17, 2020</td><td>21.5</td><td>10.4</td></tr><tr><td>Mapletree portfolio</td><td>Various</td><td>Jan 14, 2020</td><td>$     557.0</td><td>$     306.5</td></tr><tr><td>Mapletree portfolio</td><td>Northern Virginia</td><td>Nov 1, 2019</td><td>$     996.6</td><td>$     266.0</td></tr></table>

European Portfolio - On March 16, 2021, we sold a portfolio of 11 data centers in Europe (four in the United Kingdom, three in the Netherlands, three in France and one in Switzerland) to Ascendas Reit, a Capital-and sponsored REIT, for total consideration of approximately $680.0 million (subject to customary final adjustments for working capital and other items). The total gain recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of this sale was approximately $332.0 million. We are providing transitional property management services for one year from the closing date at a customary market rate. The assets and liabilities sold were not representative of a significant component of our portfolio, nor did the sale represent a significant shift in our strategy.

Mapletree portfolio - In January 2020, we closed on the sale of 10 Powered Base Building \( ^{\circledR} \)  properties, which comprise 12 data centers, in North America to Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd ("Mapletree Investments") and Mapletree Industrial Trust ("MIT" and together with Mapletree Investments, "Mapletree"), at a purchase consideration of approximately 555.0 million, which resulted in a gain of approximately 306.5 million. The 12 data centers were not representative of a significant component of our portfolio, nor did the sale represent a significant shift in our strategy. We provided transitional property management services for one year from the closing date at a customary market rate. Prior to sale of the 10 Powered Base Building properties in January 2020, we contributed three data centers to the joint venture with Mapletree in November 2019 – total gain on contribution of these assets was 526.0 million.

## 8. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our investments in unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method presented in our consolidated balance sheets consist of the following (in thousands):

<table><tr><td>Entity</td><td>Year</td><td>Metropolitan</td><td>% Ownership</td><td>Balance as of December 31, 2021</td><td>Balance as of December 31, 2020</td></tr><tr><td>Digital Core REIT</td><td>2021</td><td>U.S./ Canada</td><td>35 %</td><td>343,317</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Direct interest in SREIT properties</td><td>2021</td><td>U.S./ Canada</td><td>10 %</td><td>144,050</td><td>—</td></tr><tr><td>Ascenty</td><td>2019</td><td>Brazil / Chile / Mexico</td><td>51 %</td><td>553,031</td><td>567,192</td></tr><tr><td>Mapletree</td><td>2019</td><td>Northern Virginia</td><td>20 %</td><td>172,465</td><td>184,890</td></tr><tr><td>Mitsubishi</td><td>Various</td><td>Osaka / Tokyo</td><td>50 %</td><td>401,509</td><td>278,947</td></tr><tr><td>Lumen</td><td>2012</td><td>Hong Kong</td><td>50 %</td><td>68,854</td><td>86,600</td></tr><tr><td>Other</td><td>Various</td><td>U.S./ India / Nigeria</td><td>Various</td><td>124,463</td><td>30,529</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>1,807,689</td><td>1,148,158</td></tr></table>

SREIT – The Company’s ownership interest in the SREIT consists of units of the SREIT parent, Digital Core REIT (which is publicly-traded on the SGX under the ticker symbol: DCRU), as well as a direct interest in the operating properties. As of December 31, 2021, the Company held a 35% interest in the SREIT and separately owns a 10% direct retained interest in the underlying operating properties. The Company’s 35% interest in Digital Core REIT as of December 31, 2021 consists of 390 million units publicly-traded on the SGX under the ticker symbol DCRU. Based on the closing price per unit of $1.16, the fair value of the units the Company owns in DCRU was $453 million as of December 31, 2021. This value does not include the value of the Company’s 10% direct interest in the operating properties of the SREIT, because the associated ownership interests are not publicly-traded.

The Company accounts for its combined ownership interest in the SREIT as an equity method investment based on the significant influence it is able to exert on the SREIT (and not at fair value). A greenhouse option was included as a provision in the SREIT IPO underwriting agreement that granted underwriters the right to buy an additional amount of units from the Company at the same price as the initial offering price and sell those units to other parties. The greenhouse option was exercised on December 31, 2021 – reducing the Company’s share in Digital Core REIT down from the initial 39% interest (including the acquisition fee that was received in units) upon sale of the 10 operating properties on December 6, 2021 to 35% at December 31, 2021. No incremental gain or loss was recorded by the Company for the sale of units under the greenhouse option, because the units were sold at the initial offering price which was equal to the Company’s book basis in the units.

Pursuant to contractual agreements with the SREIT, the Company will earn fees for asset and property management services as well as fees for aiding the SREIT in future acquisition, disposition and development activities. Certain of these fees are payable to the Company in the form of additional units in the SREIT or in cash.

Acentiv – The Company’s ownership percentage in Acentiv includes an approximate 2% interest held by one of the Company’s non-controlling interest holders. This 2% interest had a carrying value of approximately $20.9 million and $21.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Acentiv is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to this VIE is limited to our equity investment in the entity.

PREI \( ^{®} \)  - In the third quarter of 2021, the existing unconsolidated partnership between the Company and PGIM Real Estate (the "PGIM Joint Venture"), completed the sale of a portfolio of 10 data centers in North America for $581 million. PGIM Real Estate owned an 80% interest and the Company owned a 20% interest in the partnership. We recognized a gain of approximately $64 million from the sale of the data centers. This gain is reflected in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities in our condensed consolidated income statements. In addition, we received a promote in the amount of $19 million related to the partnership exceeding certain investor return thresholds over the life of the partnership, which is included in fee income and other in our consolidated income statements.

Summarized Financial Information of Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

## 9. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Changes in the value of goodwill at December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 were immaterial and driven primarily by changes in exchange rates associated with goodwill balances denominated in foreign currencies.

(1) Includes amounts outstanding for the Global Revolving Credit Facility and the Yen Revolving Credit Facility (together, we refer to as the "Global Revolving Credit Facilities") – but are discussed separately in these footnotes given slightly different fees/terms.

## Global Revolving Credit Facility

We have a global revolving senior credit facility (“global revolving credit facility”) under which we may draw up to $3.0 billion on a revolving basis (subject to currency fluctuations). The global revolving credit facility can be drawn in Australian dollars, British pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Euros, Hong Kong dollars, Japanese yen, Singapore dollars, Indonesian rupiah, Swiss francs, Korean won and U.S. dollars (with the ability to add other currencies in the future).

We have the ability to increase the size of the global revolving credit facility by up to $1.5 billion, subject to the receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. Other key terms of the global revolving credit facility are as follows:

- Maturity date: January 24, 2026, with two six-month extension options available. The bank group is obligated to grant the extension options provided we give proper notice, we make certain representations and warranties and no default exists under the global revolving credit facilities.

• Interest rate: the applicable index plus a margin which is based on the credit ratings of our long-term debt and is currently 85 basis points.

• Annual facility fee: based on the total commitment amount of the facility and the credit ratings of our long-term debt is currently 20 basis points and is payable quarterly.

- Sustainability-linked pricing component: pricing can increase by up to 5 basis points or decrease by up to 5 basis points depending on whether or not the OP or its subsidiaries meet certain sustainability performance targets.

## Yen Revolving Credit Facility

In addition to the global revolving credit facility, we have a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings in Japanese Yen of up to $33.3 billion (approximately $291.3 million based on the exchange rate on November 18, 2021), hereafter referred to as the "Yen revolving credit facility"). We have the ability from time to time to increase the size of the Yen revolving credit facility to up to $93.3 billion, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. Other key terms of the Yen revolving credit facility are as follows:

- Maturity date: January 24, 2026, with two six-month extension options available. The bank group is obligated to grant the extension options provided we give proper notice, we make certain representations and warranties and no default exists under the global revolving credit facilities.

• Interest rate: the applicable index plus a margin which is based on the credit ratings of our long-term debt and is currently 50 basis points.

• Quarterly unused commitment fee: currently is 10 basis points, calculated using the average daily unused revolving credit commitment and is based on the credit ratings of our long-term debt

- Sustainability-linked pricing component: pricing can increase by up to 5 basis points or decrease by up to 5 basis points depending on whether or not the OP or its subsidiaries meet certain sustainability performance targets.

Restrictive Covenants in Global Revolving Credit Facility and Yen Revolving Credit Facility

The global revolving credit facility and the Yen revolving credit facility both contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, or merge with another company. In addition, we are required to maintain financial coverage ratios, including with ratios respect to unencumbered assets. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of any event of default, these credit facilities restrict the Parent's ability to make distributions to stockholders or redeem or otherwise repurchase shares of its capital stock, except in limited circumstances (such as those necessary to enable Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to maintain its qualification as a REIT and to minimize the payment of income or excise tax). As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of such covenants for both of these revolving credit facilities.

See Note 22. "Subsequent Events" for additional information on the issuance of 1.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2032 on January 18, 2022 and the redemption of the 4.750% Notes due 2025, which occurred on February 3, 2022.

Restrictive Covenants in Unsecured Senior Notes

The indentures governing our senior notes contain certain covenants, including (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40% and (3) an interest coverage ratio of greater than 1.50. The covenants also require us to maintain total unencumbered assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of unsecured debt. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with each of these financial covenants.

Early Extinguishment of Unsecured Senior Notes

We recognized the following losses on early extinguishment of unsecured notes:

• During the year ended December 31, 2021: $18.7 million primarily due to redemption of the 2.750% Notes due 2023 in February 2021.

• During the year ended December 31, 2020: $103.2 million primarily due to redemption of:

☐ 3.950% Notes due 2022 and 3.625% Notes due 2022 in August 2020; and

☐ 4.750% Notes due 2023 in October 2020

• During the year ended December 31, 2019: $39.2 million, primarily due to costs associated with early tender offer and subsequent redemption of:

☐ 5.875% Notes due 2020 in January and February 2019; and

☐ 3.400% Notes due 2020 and 5.250% Notes due 2021 during June 2019

Secured and other debt – This amount consists of a variety of loans at fixed rates ranging from 1.11% to 11.65%. The largest component of the balance is a $135 million mortgage loan for the Company’s Westin building in Seattle – which bears interest at 3.29%. The loan bearing interest at 11.65% is an unsecured loan with a balance of less than $4 million.

## 13. Income Taxes

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has elected to be treated and believes that it has been organized and has operated in a manner that has enabled it to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is generally not subject to corporate level federal income taxes on taxable income distributed currently to its stockholders. Since inception, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has distributed at least 100% of its taxable income annually. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership and is not required to pay federal income tax. Instead, taxable income is allocated to its partners, who include such amounts on their federal income tax returns. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the Operating Partnership's accompanying consolidated financial statements.

We have elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status for some of our consolidated subsidiaries. In general, a TRS may provide services that would otherwise be considered impermissible for REITs to provide and may hold assets that REITs cannot hold directly. Income taxes for TRS entities were accrued, as necessary, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

For our TRS entities and foreign subsidiaries that are subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset may not be realized, based on available evidence at the time the determination is made. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from the change in circumstances that causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in the income statement. Deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowance) and liabilities for our TRS entities and foreign subsidiaries were accrued, as necessary, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had deferred tax liabilities net of deferred

tax assets of approximately $658.8 million and $737.3 million, respectively, primarily related to our foreign properties, classified in accounts payable and other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet. The majority of our net deferred tax liability relates to differences between foreign tax basis and book basis of the assets acquired in the Interxion Combination in March 2020, the European Portfolio Acquisition in July 2016 and the Sentrum portfolio acquisition in 2012. The valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 relate primarily to net operating loss carryforwards that we do not expect to utilize attributable to certain foreign jurisdictions.

## 14. Equity and Capital

## Equity Distribution Agreement

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P., are parties to an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering sale agreement dated January 4, 2019, as amended in 2020 (the "Sales Agreement"). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. can issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.0 billion through various named agents from time to time. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued approximately 1.1 million common shares under the Sales Agreement at an average price of $161.92 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued approximately 6.1 million common shares under the Sales Agreement at an average price of $146.89 per share. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $577.6 million remains available for future sales under the program.

## Forward Equity Sale

On September 13, 2021, the Parent completed an underwritten public offering of 6,250,000 shares of its common stock, all of which were offered in connection with forward sale agreements it entered into with certain financial institutions

December 31, 2021 and 2020

acting as forward purchasers. The forward purchasers borrowed and sold an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of the Parent's common stock in the public offering. The Parent did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the forward purchasers in the public offering. The Parent may receive gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion (based on the net offering price of $155.69 per share) upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, which is to be no later than March 13, 2023.

Upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, the OP is expected to issue general partner common partnership units to the Parent in exchange for contribution of the net proceeds. The forward purchasers had also granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable until October 13, 2021, to purchase up to 937,500 additional shares at a price of $155.69, which represents the initial price to the public less the underwriting discount. The underwriters opted not to exercise their option within the specified time period.

We account for our forward equity sales agreements in accordance with the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives. As of December 31, 2021, none of our forward equity sales agreements were deemed to be liabilities as they did not embody obligations to repurchase our shares, nor did they embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value was predominantly fixed, varied with something other than the fair value of our shares, or varied inversely in relation to our shares. We also evaluated whether the agreements met the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments and concluded that the agreements could be classified as equity contracts based on the following assessment: (i) none of the agreements' exercise contingencies were based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions precluded the agreements from being indexed to our own stock.

Limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of their common units for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of redemption. Alternatively, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. The common units and incentive units of the Operating Partnership are classified within equity, except for certain common units issued to certain former DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. unitholders in the Company's acquisition of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc., which are subject to certain restrictions and, accordingly, are not presented as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

The redemption value of the noncontrolling Operating Partnership common units and the vested incentive units was approximately $1,074.7 million and $1,078.9 million based on the closing market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company provides incentive awards in the form of common stock or awards convertible into common stock pursuant to the Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Services, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the "Incentive Plan").

The awards generally vest over periods between two and four years.

Service-Based Restricted Stock Units: Service-based Restricted Stock Units, which vest over periods between two and four years, convert to shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock upon vesting.

Market Performance-Based Awards (“the Performance Awards”): Market performance-based Class D units of the Operating Partnership and market performance-based Restricted Stock Units covering shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock are eligible to be issued to officers and employees of the Company. The Performance Awards include market performance-based and time-based vesting criteria. The market performance-based criteria is the basis for determining the total number of units that qualify to be awarded (subject to time-based vesting). The market performance criterion compares the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the MSCI US REIT Index (“RMS”) over a three-year period in order to determine the percentage of the total eligible pool of units that qualifies to be awarded. The awards then have a time-based vesting element that allows for 50% of the qualifying awards to vest in that same 3 \( ^{rd} \)  year and 50% of the qualifying awards in the subsequent year.

Vesting with respect to the market condition is measured based on the difference between Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s TSR percentage and the TSR percentage of the RMS as is shown in the subsequent table.

If the RMS Relative Market Performance falls between the levels specified in the prior table, the percentage of the award that will vest with respect to the market condition will be determined using straight-line linear interpolation between such levels.

Following the completion of the applicable Market Performance Period, the Compensation Committee made the following determinations regarding the vesting of these awards.

## 2019 Awards

- In January 2022, the RMS Relative Market Performance fell between the target and high level for the 2019 awards and accordingly, 239,436 Class D units and 70,721 Restricted Stock Units qualified for time-based vesting.

- The Class D units included 18,966 distribution equivalent units that immediately vested on December 31, 2021.

- On February 27, 2022, 50% of the 2019 awards will vest and the remaining 50% will vest on February 27, 2023, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

## 2018 Awards

- In January 2021, the high level of the performance metric was determined to have been achieved and, accordingly, 240,377 Class D units and 63,498 Restricted Stock Units qualified for time-based vesting.

- The Class D units included 20,725 distribution equivalent units that immediately vested on December 31, 2020.

- On February 27, 2021, 50% of the 2018 awards vested and the remaining 50% will vest on February 27, 2022, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

## 2017 Awards

- In January 2020, the RMS Relative Market Performance fell between the target and high level for the 2017 awards and, accordingly, 137,816 Class D units and 29,141 Restricted Stock Units qualified for time-based vesting.

- The Class D units included 10,971 distribution equivalent units that immediately vested on December 31, 2019.

## Fair Value of Market Performance-Based Awards

The fair values of the Performance Awards granted were measured using a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the market vesting condition being satisfied. The Monte Carlo simulation is a probabilistic technique based on the underlying theory of the Black-Scholes formula, which was run for 100,000 trials to determine the fair value of the awards. For each trial, the payoff to an award is calculated at the settlement date and is then discounted to the grant date at a risk-free interest rate. The total expected value of the awards on the grant date was determined by multiplying the average value per award over all trials by the number of awards granted. Assumptions used in the valuations are summarized as follows:

<table><tr><td>Award Date</td><td>Expected Stock Price Valatility</td><td>Risk-Free Interest Rate</td></tr><tr><td>January 1, 2019</td><td>23 %</td><td>2.44 %</td></tr><tr><td>February 21, 2019</td><td>23 %</td><td>2.48 %</td></tr><tr><td>February 19, 2020</td><td>22 %</td><td>1.39 %</td></tr><tr><td>February 20, 2020</td><td>22 %</td><td>1.35 %</td></tr><tr><td>January 1, 2021</td><td>27 %</td><td>0.17 %</td></tr><tr><td>February 25, 2021</td><td>26 %</td><td>0.31 %</td></tr></table>

The expected stock price volatility assumption is calculated based on our historical volatility, which is calculated over a period of time commensurate with the expected term of the awards being valued. The expected dividend yield assumption used in the Monte Carlo simulation represents the percent of return to a stock that is available to the holder of an award. Because the holders of the awards receive dividend equivalents, an expected dividend yield assumption of 0.00% was used in the valuation. These valuations were performed in a risk-neutral framework, and no assumption was made with respect to an equity risk premium.

The grant date fair value of the Class D unit and RSU awards was approximately $25.0 million, $17.2 million and $22.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We will recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the expected service period of approximately four years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the Class D unit and RSU awards that vested in 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $28.6 million, $24.3 million and $32.7 million, respectively.

Other Items: In addition to the LTIP Units, service-based Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards described above, one-time grants of time and/or performance-based Class D units and Restricted Stock Units were issued in connection with the Intercon Combination. These awards vest over a period of two and three years based on continued service and/or the attainment of performance metrics related to successful integration of the Intercon business.

As of December 31, 2021, approximately 5.6 million shares of common stock, including awards that can be converted to or exchanged for shares of common stock, remained available for future issuance under the Incentive Plan. Each LTIP unit and each Class D unit issued under the Incentive Plan counts as one share of common stock for purposes of calculating the limit on shares that may be issued under the Incentive Plan and the individual award limits set forth therein.

(3) Balance recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets if positive and recorded in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets if negative.

On December 13, 2021, in connection with the paydown of our secured note due March 2023, we terminated interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts in the aggregate of $104.0 million and, as a result of the termination, the accumulated fair value of the interest rate swap will be ratably reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense on the accompanying consolidated income statement over the original term of the interest rate swap. On September 24, 2020, in connection with the paydown of our Term Loan maturing in 2023, we terminated interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts in the aggregate of $300.0 million, as a result of the termination, the accumulated fair value of the interest rate swap was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense on the accompanying consolidated income statement, which resulted in a realized loss of approximately $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our debt. As of December 31, 2021, we had no interest rate swap agreements outstanding.

Credit-risk related contingent features – Upon entering into derivatives, we would have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness. As of December 31, 2021, we did not have any derivatives outstanding.

## 18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We disclose fair value information for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data in order to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, accrued dividends and distributions, security deposits and prepaid rents approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of our global revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loans approximates estimated fair value, because these liabilities have variable interest rates and our credit ratings have remained stable. Differences between the carrying value and fair value of our unsecured senior notes and secured and other debt are caused by differences in interest rates or borrowing spreads that were available to us on December 31, 2021 and 2020 as compared to those in effect when the debt was issued or assumed. As described in Note 16, "Derivative Instruments", outstanding derivative contracts are recorded at fair value.

We calculate the fair value of our secured and other debt, unsecured term loans and unsecured senior notes based on currently available market rates assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral and other loan terms. In determining the current market rate for fixed rate debt, a market spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar maturity dates to our debt.

The aggregate estimated fair value and carrying value of our global revolving credit facilities, unsecured term loans, unsecured senior notes and secured debt as of the respective periods is shown below (in thousands):

<table><tr><td rowspan="2"></td><td colspan="2">As of December 31, 2021</td><td colspan="2">As of December 31, 2020</td></tr><tr><td>Estimated Fair Value</td><td>Carrying Value</td><td>Estimated Fair Value</td><td>Carrying Value</td></tr><tr><td>Global revolving credit facilities</td><td>Level 2</td><td>$ 415,116</td><td>$ 415,116</td><td>$ 540,184</td></tr><tr><td>Unsecured term loans</td><td>Level 2</td><td></td><td></td><td>537,470</td></tr><tr><td>Unsecured senior notes (1)</td><td>Level 2</td><td>13,580,262</td><td>13,000,042</td><td>13,359,960</td></tr><tr><td>Secured and other debt (1)</td><td>Level 2</td><td>152,511</td><td>147,082</td><td>242,051</td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td>$ 14,147,889</td><td>$ 13,562,240</td><td>$ 14,679,665</td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>$ 13,413,009</td></tr></table>

## ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Management’s Reports on Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data on page 80.

## Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures (Digital Realty Trust, Inc.)

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company's management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and its management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities may be substantially more limited than those it maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect as of December 31, 2021. Based on the foregoing, the Company's management concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Operating Partnership's management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and its management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

# DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF
THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

The following description of the common stock of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.'s ("DLR") sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the common stock. The description of DLR's common stock set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of DLR's charter and bylaws.

As of February 24, 2022, the total number of shares of stock of all classes which DLR has authority to issue is 502,000,000 shares, consisting of 392,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 110,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.

General. All outstanding shares of the common stock are duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable. Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of stock and to the provisions of the company's charter regarding the restrictions on transfer of stock, holders of shares of the common stock are entitled to receive dividends on such stock if, as and when authorized by the company's board of directors out of assets legally available therefor and declared by the company and to share ratably in the assets of the company legally available for distribution to the company's stockholders in the event of the company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up after payment or establishment of reserves for all known debts and liabilities of the company.

Subject to the provisions of the company’s charter regarding the restrictions on transfer of stock and except as may be otherwise specified therein with respect to any class or series of common stock, each outstanding share of the common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors and, except as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of such shares will possess the exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of the company’s board of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock can elect all of the directors then standing for election and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors. Directors are elected by a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present if the election is uncontested. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present if the election is contested.

Holders of shares of the common stock have no preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund or redemption rights, have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any securities of the company and generally have no appraisal rights unless the company's board of directors determines that appraisal rights apply, with respect to all or any classes or series of stock, to one or more transactions occurring after the date of such determination in connection with which stockholders would otherwise be entitled to exercise appraisal rights. Subject to the provisions of the company's charter regarding the restrictions on transfer of stock, shares of the common stock will have equal dividend, liquidation and other rights.

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, convert, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business unless the action is approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to



be cast on the matter) is set forth in the corporation's charter. Except for certain charter amendments relating to the removal of directors and the vote required for certain amendments, the company's charter provides that these actions may be taken if declared advisable by a majority of the company's board of directors and approved by the vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, Maryland law permits a corporation to transfer all or substantially all of its assets without the approval of the stockholders of the corporation to one or more persons if all of the equity interests of the person or persons are owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation. In addition, operating assets may be held by a corporation's subsidiaries, as in the company's situation, and these subsidiaries may be able to transfer all or substantially all of such assets without a vote of the parent corporation's stockholders.

The company’s charter authorizes its board of directors to reclassify any unissued shares of the common stock into other classes or series of stock and to establish the number of shares in each class or series and to set the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption for each such class or series.

## Power to Increase Authorized Stock and Issue Additional Shares of the Common Stock

The company’s board of directors has the power to amend the company’s charter from time to time without stockholder approval to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock, to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of the common stock and to classify or reclassify unissued shares of the common stock into other classes or series of stock and thereafter to cause the company to issue such classified or reclassified shares of stock. The company believes these powers provide it with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs which might arise. Subject to the limited rights of holders of the company’s series J preferred stock, series K preferred stock and series L preferred stock and each other parity class or series of preferred stock, voting together as a single class, to approve certain issuances of senior classes or series of stock, the additional classes or series, as well as the common stock, will be available for issuance without further action by the company’s stockholders, unless stockholder consent is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the company’s securities may be listed or traded. Although the company’s board of directors does not intend to do so, it could authorize us to issue a class or series that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of the company that might involve a premium price for the company’s stockholders or otherwise be in their best interest.

## Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer

To assist us in complying with certain U.S. federal income tax requirements applicable to REITs, the company has adopted certain restrictions relating to the ownership and transfer of the common stock.

## Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.

## DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

The description of preferred stock set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the articles supplementary relating to the applicable class or series.



## General

The company’s charter provides that it may issue up to 110 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, or preferred stock. The company’s charter authorizes its board of directors to amend its charter from time to time without stockholder approval to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of preferred stock. As of February 24, 2022, 8,000,000 shares of the company’s series J preferred stock, 8,400,000 shares of the series K preferred stock and 13,800,000 shares of the series L preferred stock were issued and outstanding. No other shares of the company’s preferred stock are currently outstanding.

The company’s charter authorizes its board of directors to classify any unissued shares of preferred stock and to reclassify any previously classified but unissued shares of any series into other classes or series of stock. Prior to the issuance of shares of each class or series, the company’s board of directors is required by the MGCL and the company’s charter to set, subject to the provisions of the company’s charter regarding the restrictions on transfers of stock, the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each such class or series. Thus, the company’s board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control of the company that might involve a premium price for holders of the common stock or otherwise be in their best interest.

## Power to Increase Authorized Stock and Issue Additional Shares of Preferred Stock

The company’s board of directors has the power to amend the company’s charter from time to time without stockholder approval to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of the company’s preferred stock and to classify or reclassify unissued shares of the company’s preferred stock into other classes or series of stock and thereafter to cause us to issue such classified or reclassified shares of stock. Subject to the limited rights of holders of the company’s series J preferred stock, series K preferred stock and series L preferred stock and each other parity class or series of preferred stock, voting together as a single class, to approve certain issuances of senior classes or series of stock, the additional classes or series will be available for issuance without further action by the company’s stockholders, unless stockholder consent is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the company’s securities may be listed or traded. Although the company’s board of directors does not intend to do so, it could authorize the company to issue a class or series that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of the company that might involve a premium price for the company’s stockholders or otherwise be in their best interest.

## Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer

To assist the company in complying with certain U.S. federal income tax requirements applicable to REITs, the company has adopted certain restrictions relating to the ownership and transfer of the series J preferred stock, series K preferred stock and series L preferred stock.

## 5.250% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock

General. The DLR board and a duly authorized committee thereof approved articles supplementary creating the series J preferred stock as a series of DLR's preferred stock, designated as the 5.250% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The following description of the series J preferred stock is



qualified in its entirety by reference to such articles supplementary and DLR’s charter. The series J preferred stock is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The series J preferred stock is currently listed on the NYSE as “DLR Pr J”.

Ranking. The series J preferred stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon DLR's liquidation, dissolution or winding-up:

• senior to all classes or series of the common stock and to any other class or series of stock expressly designated as ranking junior to the series J preferred stock;

• on parity with any class or series of stock expressly designated as ranking on parity with the series J preferred stock, including the series K preferred stock and series L preferred stock; and

• junior to any other class or series of stock expressly designated as ranking senior to the series J preferred stock.

Dividend Rate and Payment Date. Holders are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends on the series J preferred stock from and including the date of original issue, payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last calendar day of March, June, September and December of each year, at the rate of 5.250% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to an annual amount of $1.3125 per share). Dividends on the series J preferred stock will accrue whether or not DLR has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared.

Liquidation Preference. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the series J preferred stock will have the right to receive $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) up to but excluding the date of payment, before any payment is made to holders of the common stock and any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the series J preferred stock as to liquidation rights. The rights of holders of series J preferred stock to receive their liquidation preference will be subject to the proportionate rights of any other class or series of stock ranking on parity with the series J preferred stock as to liquidation.

Optional Redemption. The series J preferred stock may not be redeemed prior to August 7, 2022, except in limited circumstances to preserve DLR's status as a REIT and pursuant to the special optional redemption right described below. On and after August 7, 2022, the series J preferred stock will be redeemable at DLR's option, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) up to but excluding the redemption date. However, unless full cumulative dividends on the series J preferred stock for all past dividend periods have been, or contemporaneously are, paid or an amount in cash sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart, no shares of series J preferred stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of series J preferred stock are simultaneously redeemed; provided, that the foregoing restriction does not prevent DLR from taking action necessary to preserve its status as a REIT. Any partial redemption will be on a pro rata basis.



Special Optional Redemption. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the articles supplementary), DLR may, at its option, redeem the series J preferred stock, in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), DLR exercises any of its redemption rights relating to the series J preferred stock (whether its optional redemption right or its special optional redemption right), the holders of series J preferred stock will not have the conversion right described below.

No Maturity, Sinking Fund or Mandatory Redemption. The series J preferred stock has no stated maturity date and DLR is not required to redeem the series J preferred stock at any time. Accordingly, the series J preferred stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless DLR decides, at its option, to exercise its redemption right or, under circumstances where the holders of the series J preferred stock have a conversion right, such holders decide to convert the series J preferred stock into common stock. The series J preferred stock is not subject to any sinking fund.

Voting Rights. Holders of series J preferred stock generally have no voting rights. However, if DLR is in arrears on dividends on the series J preferred stock for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, holders of the series J preferred stock (voting together as a class with the holders of all other classes or series of parity preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) will be entitled to vote at a special meeting called upon the written request of at least 10% of such holders or at the next annual meeting of stockholders and each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders for the election of two additional directors to serve on the DLR board until all unpaid dividends with respect to the series J preferred stock and any other class or series of parity preferred stock have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. In addition, DLR may not make certain material and adverse changes to the terms of the series J preferred stock without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of series J preferred stock and all other shares of any class or series ranking on parity with the series J preferred stock that are entitled to similar voting rights (voting together as a single class).

Conversion. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of series J preferred stock will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, DLR has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem the series J preferred stock) to convert some or all of the series J preferred stock held by such holder on the date the series J preferred stock is to be converted, which DLR refers to as the Change of Control Conversion Date, into a number of shares of common stock per share of series J preferred stock to be converted equal to the lesser of:

the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for a series J preferred stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding series J preferred stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividends will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined below); and

0.42521 (i.e., the Share Cap), subject to certain adjustments;



subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration as described in the articles supplementary relating to the Series J preferred stock.

The “Common Stock Price” will be (i) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of common stock is solely cash, the amount of cash consideration per share of common stock or (ii) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of common stock is other than solely cash (x) the average of the closing sale prices per share of the common stock (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average closing bid and the average closing ask prices) for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control as reported on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the common stock is then traded, or (y) the average of the last quoted bid prices for the DLR's common stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or similar organization for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control, if the common stock is not then listed for trading on a U.S. securities exchange.

If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, DLR has provided or provides a redemption notice, whether pursuant to its special optional redemption right in connection with a Change of Control or its optional redemption right, holders of series J preferred stock will not have any right to convert the series J preferred stock into shares of DLR's common stock in connection with the Change of Control and any shares of series J preferred stock selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion will be redeemed on the related date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date.

## 5.850% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock

General. The DLR board and a duly authorized committee thereof approved articles supplementary creating the series K preferred stock as a series of DLR's preferred stock, designated as the 5.850% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The following description of the series K preferred stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to such articles supplementary and DLR's charter. The series K preferred stock is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The series K preferred stock is currently listed on the NYSE as “DLR Pr K”.

Ranking. The series K preferred stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon DLR's liquidation, dissolution or winding-up:

• senior to all classes or series of the common stock and to any other class or series of stock expressly designated as ranking junior to the series K preferred stock;



• on parity with any class or series of stock expressly designated as ranking on parity with the series K preferred stock, including the series J preferred stock and series L preferred stock; and

• junior to any other class or series of stock expressly designated as ranking senior to the series K preferred stock.

Dividend Rate and Payment Date. Holders are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends on the series K preferred stock from and including the date of original issue, payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last calendar day of March, June, September and December of each year, at the rate of 5.850% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to an annual amount of $1.4625 per share). Dividends on the series K preferred stock will accrue whether or not DLR has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared.

Liquidation Preference. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the series K preferred stock will have the right to receive $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) up to but excluding the date of payment, before any payment is made to holders of the common stock and any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the series K preferred stock as to liquidation rights. The rights of holders of series K preferred stock to receive their liquidation preference will be subject to the proportionate rights of any other class or series of stock ranking on parity with the series K preferred stock as to liquidation.

Optional Redemption. The series K preferred stock may not be redeemed prior to March 13, 2024, except in limited circumstances to preserve DLR's status as a REIT and pursuant to the special optional redemption right described below. On and after March 13, 2024, the series K preferred stock will be redeemable at DLR's option, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) up to but excluding the redemption date. However, unless full cumulative dividends on the series K preferred stock for all past dividend periods have been, or contemporaneously are, paid or an amount in cash sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart, no shares of series K preferred stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of series K preferred stock are simultaneously redeemed; provided, that the foregoing restriction does not prevent DLR from taking action necessary to preserve its status as a REIT. Any partial redemption will be on a pro rata basis.

Special Optional Redemption. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the articles supplementary), DLR may, at its option, redeem the series K preferred stock, in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), DLR exercises any of its redemption rights relating to the series K preferred stock (whether its optional redemption right or its special optional redemption right), the holders of series K preferred stock will not have the conversion right described below.

No Maturity, Sinking Fund or Mandatory Redemption. The series K preferred stock has no stated maturity date and DLR is not required to redeem the series K preferred stock at any time. Accordingly, the series K preferred stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless DLR decides, at its option, to exercise its redemption right or, under circumstances where the holders of the series K preferred stock have a



conversion right, such holders decide to convert the series K preferred stock into common stock. The series K preferred stock is not subject to any sinking fund.

Voting Rights. Holders of series K preferred stock generally have no voting rights. However, if DLR is in arrears on dividends on the series K preferred stock for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, holders of the series K preferred stock (voting together as a class with the holders of all other classes or series of parity preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) will be entitled to vote at a special meeting called upon the written request of at least 10% of such holders or at the next annual meeting of stockholders and each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders for the election of two additional directors to serve on the DLR board until all unpaid dividends with respect to the series K preferred stock and any other class or series of parity preferred stock have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. In addition, DLR may not make certain material and adverse changes to the terms of the series K preferred stock without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of series K preferred stock and all other shares of any class or series ranking on parity with the series K preferred stock that are entitled to similar voting rights (voting together as a single class).

Conversion. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of series K preferred stock will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, DLR has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem the series K preferred stock) to convert some or all of the series K preferred stock held by such holder on the date the series K preferred stock is to be converted, which DLR refers to as the Change of Control Conversion Date, into a number of shares of common stock per share of series K preferred stock to be converted equal to the lesser of:

the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for a series K preferred stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding series K preferred stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividends will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined below); and

• 0.43611 (i.e., the Share Cap), subject to certain adjustments;

subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration as described in the articles supplementary relating to the Series K preferred stock.

The “Common Stock Price” will be (i) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of common stock is solely cash, the amount of cash consideration per share of common stock or (ii) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of common stock is other than solely cash (x) the average of the closing sale prices per share of the common stock (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average closing bid and the average closing ask prices) for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control as reported on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the common stock is then traded, or (y) the average of the last quoted bid prices for the DLR’s common stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or similar organization for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding.



but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control, if the common stock is not then listed for trading on a U.S. securities exchange.

If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, DLR has provided or provides a redemption notice, whether pursuant to its special optional redemption right in connection with a Change of Control or its optional redemption right, holders of series K preferred stock will not have any right to convert the series K preferred stock into shares of DLR's common stock in connection with the Change of Control and any shares of series K preferred stock selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion will be redeemed on the related date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date.

Except as provided above in connection with a Change of Control, the series K preferred stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any applicable law to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or (ii) such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any restriction, reserve or capital requirement with respect to such Letter of Credit (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it or (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any applicable laws or policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

No Swing Line Advance shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of principal of any other Swing Line Advance. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an amount of the Swing Line Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple equal to the Swing Line Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof. Within the limits of each Swing Line Facility and within the limits referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), repay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or prepay pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c). If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Swing Line Advance is at the time outstanding, any applicable Swing Line 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 Swing Line Bank in respect of such Swing Line Advance in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unrealized 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 to such Swing Line Bank in its reasonable discretion to protect such Swing Line 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 Swing Line Bank 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) repay an outstanding Swing Line Advance, and/or (ii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the applicable Borrowers in respect of outstanding Swing Line Advances in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Swing Line Advance.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances: Applicable Borrowers. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03, each Borrowing (other than Swing Line Borrowings) shall be made on notice, given not later than the applicable Notice of Borrowing Deadline by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent, and with respect to the initial Borrowing, such notice may be provided to the Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof. The Administrative Agent shall provide each relevant Lender with prompt notice thereof by email or facsimile. Each such notice of a Borrowing (other than Swing Line Borrowings) (a "Notice of Borrowing") shall be in writing and sent by email or facsimile, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1, Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, as applicable, hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Tranche under which such Borrowing is requested, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (v) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period for each such Advance, (vi) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of RFR Advances, the tenor of such Advances, (vii) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Advances, Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Advances, Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Advances or Supplemental Tranche Advances, the currency of such Advances, (viii) the applicable Borrower or Borrowers proposing such Borrowing, and (ix) the portion of funds from such Borrowing to be applied to the repayment of Swing Line Advances (including the currency thereof) and the interest accrued and unpaid thereon in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 2.02(a). In addition, in the case of a Borrowing under the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche or the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche, the Notice of Borrowing shall specify the maturity of such Borrowing and the purpose of such Borrowing and in the case of a Borrowing under the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche with respect to Korean Capital Expenditures, the Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered together with any applicable Korean Capital Expenditures Documentation. Each Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Tranche shall, before the applicable Funding Deadline make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders in respect of the applicable Tranche. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower by crediting the Borrower's Account; provided, however, that for each Borrowing, if requested by the applicable Borrower in its Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swing Line Advances made by the applicable Swing Line Bank and by any other Lender and outstanding on



the date of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the applicable Swing Line Bank and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Line Advances.

(b) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than the Swing Line Deadline on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, by the applicable Borrower to (x) the applicable Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent in the case of any such Borrowing in Euros or Sterling under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility and (y) the applicable Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent in the case of any other Borrowing under a Swing Line Facility. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a "Notice of Swing Line Borrowing") shall be by (1) email (in the case of the Singapore Swing Line Facility, the Australian Swing Line Facility, the KRW-A Swing Line Facility and the KRW-B Swing Line Facility), (2) email or facsimile (in the case of any such Borrowing in Euros or Sterling under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility or any such Borrowing under the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility, the KRW-A Swing Line Facility or the KRW-B Swing Line Facility) and (3) email and facsimile (in the case of any such Borrowing in Canadian Dollars under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility); in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing, (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the earlier of (A) the fourteenth Business Day after the requested date of such Borrowing and (B) the Termination Date), (iv) the currency of such Borrowing, and (v) the Borrower proposing such Borrowing. In addition, in the case of a Swing Line Borrowing under the KRW-A Swing Line Facility or the KRW-B Swing Line Facility, the Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall specify the purpose of such Borrowing and in the case of a Swing Line Borrowing under the KRW-B Swing Line Facility with respect to Korean Capital Expenditures, the Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be delivered together with any applicable Korean Capital Expenditures Documentation. Based on such notice received by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Swing Line Bank, as applicable, shall, before the Swing Line Availability Time, make the amount thereof available to the applicable Borrower by crediting a Borrower's Account maintained by the applicable Borrower in same day funds except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Swing Line Bank, as applicable, has actual knowledge of a Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is then continuing. Upon written demand by the applicable Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each (A) U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility, (B) Multicurrency Revolving Lender with respect to the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility, (C) KRW-A Revolving Lender with respect to the KRW-A Swing Line Facility, (D) KRW-B Revolving Lender with respect to the KRW-B Swing Line Facility, (E) Australian Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the Australian Swing Line Facility and (F) Singapore Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the Singapore Swing Line Facility, shall purchase from such Swing Line Bank, and such Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such Lender, such Lender's Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance as of the date of such demand, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender, provided that any such demand in the case of the KRW-A Swing Line Facility or the KRW-B Swing Line Facility shall include a copy of the related Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and documentation submitted by the applicable Borrower therewith. The Borrowers hereby agree to each such sale and assignment. Each such Lender agrees to purchase its Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance (i)(x) on the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Swing Line Bank in the case of the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility or (y) no later than three Business Days after the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Swing Line Bank in respect of each other Swing Line Facility, provided, that in each case, notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable Swing Line Purchasing Notice Deadline, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding the funding date set forth in the applicable notice of demand if such notice of such demand is given after any applicable Swing Line Purchasing Notice Deadline. Upon any such assignment by any Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the applicable Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that such Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line 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 Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the applicable Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the cost of funds incurred by the applicable Swing Line Bank in respect of such amount. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the applicable Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the



(c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Borrower may select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum, (ii) no Borrower may select LIBOR Daily Rate Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances if the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Daily Rate Advances and Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(i), 2.07(f), 2.09 or 2.10, and (iii) there may not be more than fifty (50) separate Interest Periods and RFR Borrowings outstanding at any time in the aggregate. If the Interest Periods of two or more Floating Rate Advances within a single Tranche denominated in the same currency end on the same date, those Floating Rate Advances will be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Floating Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period.

(d) Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers. In the case of any Borrowing other than the Borrowing of a Base Rate Advance or an RFR Borrowing, 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 (w) the date of any Borrowing consisting of Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche (other than Base Rate Advances or LIBOR Daily Rate Advances), (x) 12:00 P.M. (Hong Kong time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of any Borrowing consisting of Advances under the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, IDR Revolving Credit Tranche, the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche or the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche, (y) 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of any Borrowing consisting of Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche or (z) 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances or LIBOR Daily Rate Advances that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and, the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 2.02(a), make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to any Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Foreign Currencies and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of all other Advances. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.

(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) The Borrowers irrevocably and for value authorize each Australian Dollar Revolving Lender (at the option of such Lender) from time to time (i) to prepare reclassification bills of exchange in relation to any Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Advance and (ii) to sign them as drawer or endorser in the name of and on behalf of any Borrower (provided that the relevant Borrower's obligations as drawer or endorser under any such reclassification bill is non-recourse). The total face amount of reclassification bills prepared by any such Lender and outstanding in relation to any such Advance must not at any time exceed (A) such Lender's share of the principal



amount of such Advance plus (B) the total interest on that share over the relevant Interest Period. Reliquification bills must mature on or before the last day of the relevant Interest Period. Each such Lender may realize or deal with any reliquification bill prepared by it as it thinks fit. Each such Lender shall indemnify the Borrowers on demand against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by any Borrower by reason of it being a party to a reliquification bill prepared by such Lender. The immediately preceding sentence shall not affect any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document. In particular, the obligations of the Borrowers to make payments under the Loan Documents are not in any way affected by any liability of any Lender, contingent or otherwise, under the indemnity in this Section 2.02(g). If a reliquification bill prepared by any such Lender is presented to a Borrower and such Borrower discharges it by payment, the amount of that payment will be deemed to have been applied against the moneys payable to such Lender hereunder. Only an Australian Dollar Revolving Lender will have recourse to any Borrower under any reliquification bill.

(h) All Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more U.S. Borrowers. All Advances under the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or two Singapore Borrowers. All Advances under the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Australia Borrowers. All Advances under the IDR Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more IDR Borrowers. All Advances under the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more KRW-A Borrowers. All Advances under the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Multicurrency Borrowers. All Supplemental Tranche Advances shall be advanced to one or more Supplemental Borrowers that are Borrowers under the applicable Supplemental Tranche. Each Borrower shall be liable for the Advances made to such Borrower only, provided that (x) if an Advance is made to more than one Borrower, all such Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to such Advance and (y) nothing in this sentence shall impair or limit the liability or obligations of the Operating Partnership in its capacity as a Guarantor hereunder.

(i) 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 (1) 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day (in respect of any proposed Letter of Credit to be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars under the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility), (II) 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the fifth Business Day (in respect of any proposed Letter of Credit under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility), (III) 12:00 P.M.

In the case of (1) above, the Administrative Agent shall give to the applicable Issuing Bank and each Lender prompt notice thereof by facsimile or email or by means of the Platform. In the case of (2) above, the applicable Issuing Bank shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt notice thereof by facsimile or email or by means of the Platform. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a "Notice of Issuance") shall be in writing by facsimile or email, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) currency of such Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Facility pursuant to which such Letter of Credit shall be issued, (iii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (v) the proposed Borrower, (vi) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (vii) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the applicable Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a "Letter of Credit Agreement"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of the initial Letter of Credit under the IDR Letter of Credit Facility shall be subject to the



condition precedent that the IDR Issuing Bank shall have confirmed receipt and approval of all applicable "know your customer" and other similar documentation and information required under applicable laws and regulations; provided that the IDR Issuing Bank shall, promptly following the Closing Date, proceed to take such steps as are reasonably required to complete such procedures in a timely manner. Any application for a Letter of Credit may be made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor. If (y) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (z) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Tranche Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the applicable Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(a).

(b) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to the Administrative Agent not later than the fifth Business Day following the last 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 showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (ii) on any other Business Day, such other information with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Promptly following receipt of each such report and other information, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to the Operating Partnership.

(c) Drawing: Letter of Credit Purchase of Pro Rata Shares of Advances. The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall, in the case of (I) each such payment under the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft, (II) each such payment under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Swiss Francs and Sterling be an RFR Advance, (III) each such payment under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Euro, Yen or Canadian Dollars be a Floating Rate Advance, (IV) each such payment under the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Hong Kong Dollars be a Floating Rate Advance, and (VI) each such payment under any other Letter of Credit Facility be a Floating Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. Upon written demand by (x) the Administrative Agent, with a copy of such demand to the applicable Issuing Bank or (y) any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a Multicurrency Letter of Credit only), each IDR Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a KRW-A Letter of Credit only), each KRW-B Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a KRW-B Letter of Credit only), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit only), each Australian Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to an Australian Letter of Credit only) and each Singapore Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a Singapore Letter of Credit only) (in each case, an "Applicable Lender") shall, as applicable, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such Applicable Lender (and with respect to the Existing Letter of Credit issued by the Existing Issuing Bank, each Applicable Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank and such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and assigned to each Applicable Lender, in each case on the Effective Date), such Lender's Applicable Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Applicable Lender. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. The Borrowers hereby agree to each such sale and assignment. Each Applicable Lender agrees to purchase its Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance (i) on the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the applicable Issuing Bank which made such Advance with respect to the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline on such Business Day, (ii) no later than three Business Days after the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the applicable Issuing Bank in the case of the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, the IDR Letter of Credit Facility, the KRW-A Letter of Credit



Facility, the KfR-W-B Letter of Credit Facility, the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility or the Australian Letter of Credit Facility, provided that, in each case, notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline, or (iii) the first Business Day next succeeding the funding date set forth in the applicable notice of demand if such notice of such demand is given after any applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline. Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Applicable Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank represents and warrants to such Applicable Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any Applicable Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, equal to (x) the Federal Funds Rate with respect to the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility and (y) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in the case of all other Letter of Credit Facilities, in each case for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such Applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Applicable Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

(d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

(e) Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding that such Defaulting Lender may be required to fund on hereunder, the applicable Issuing Bank may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21), by notice to the Borrowers and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unrealized allocations (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.

(f) Calculation Date: Revaluation. Without limiting the effect of the last sentence of Section 2.06(b)(i), for the purposes of monitoring Facility Exposure under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, on each Calculation Date the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Primary Currency Equivalent of the face value of outstanding Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees issued under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, the stated amounts of which are denominated in a currency other than Dollars in connection with Letters of Credit or Bank Guarantees issued under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility.

(g) ISP or UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices (the "ISP") shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance ("UCP"), and each of the UCP and the ISP, an "ICC Rule", shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank's privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein and pursuant to applicable laws governing the Letter of Credit.



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.

(b) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(i) Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(j) 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 as primary obligors to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit and irrevocably waive any defenses that might otherwise be available to them as guarantors or sureties of obligations of such Subsidiary to the extent described and waived in Section 7.02, mutatis mutandis. 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. To the extent that any Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of a Borrower which is not a Guarantor, such Borrower agrees that (i) such Subsidiary shall have no rights against any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, (ii) such Borrower shall be responsible for the obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit under this Agreement and any application or reimbursement agreement, (iii) such Borrower shall have sole right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to this Agreement and such Letter of Credit, and the disposition of documents related thereto, and (iv) such Borrower shall have all powers and rights in respect of any security arising in connection with the Letter of Credit and the transaction related thereto.

SECTION 2.04. Repayment of Advances. Reimbursements. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding.

(b) Swing Line Advances. The Borrowers shall repay (i) in the case of Swing Line Advances in Canadian Dollars under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche, Swing Line Advances under the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche and Swing Line Advances under the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, directly to the applicable Swing Line Bank at such account as is specified by such Swing Line Bank to the Borrowers, and (ii) in each other case, to the Administrative Agent for the account of (x) each Swing Line Bank and (y) each other Lender that has made a Swing Line Advance by purchase from the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(b), the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made by each of them on or before the earlier of the maturity date specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the fourteenth Business Day after the requested date of such Swing Line Borrowing) and the Termination Date. If any Swing Line Bank does not receive a payment required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to clause (b)(i), such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. Any Swing Line Advance may be repaid in whole or in part on same-day notice to the Administrative Agent received by 11:00 A.M. (local time) on the date of such payment with respect to Swing Line Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche or 1:00 P.M. (local time) on the date of such payment with respect to Swing Line Advances under any other Tranche and, if such notice is given the Borrowers shall pay the applicable principal amount of such Swing Line Borrowing on such date, together with accrued interest to the date of such payment on the principal amount so paid and costs (if any) pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

(c) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank and each other Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the Business Day immediately succeeding the day on which such Letter of Credit Advance was made the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers may, at their election, repay Letter of Credit Advances with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Advances that are advanced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.



(ii) The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (and the obligations of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect thereto) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, guaranty or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any amendments, supplements and waivers (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the "L/C Related Documents");

(B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any Person that guarantees any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

(C) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(D) any draft, certificate, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(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;

(F) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guarantees 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) The Borrowers assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrowers shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrowers that the Borrowers prove were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence as



determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, 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. (local time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed termination date, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of any Swing Line Facility, any Letter of Credit Facility and any Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of a Tranche or Subfacility (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 Tranche or Subfacility. Once terminated, a Commitment may not be reinstated.

(b) 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 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.

(c) Each Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Tranche of which such Letter of Credit Facility is a Subfacility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of such Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments related to such Tranche after giving effect to such reduction of such Tranche, provided that no Letter of Credit Facility or Tranche with respect to which such Letter of Credit Facility is a Subfacility shall be reduced below an amount equal to the aggregate unused amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under such Letter of Credit Facility at any time.

(d) Each Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Tranche of which such Swing Line Facility is a Subfacility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of such Swing Line Facility exceeds the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments related to such Tranche.

Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period (if applicable) for a Floating Rate Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c) and (iii) the foregoing provisions shall not apply to the repayment of Swing Line Advances, which payments shall be made pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04(b).

(b) Mandatory. (i) If the Facility Exposure attributable to any Tranche or Subfacility (which, in the case of each Tranche and each Subfacility, shall be expressed in the Primary Currency of such Tranche or Subfacility, or the Equivalent thereof with respect to any Advances thereunder denominated in any other currency) shall at any time equal or exceed 105% of the aggregate Commitments then allocable to such Tranche or Subfacility, as applicable, 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, the Swing Line Advances 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 attributable to the applicable Tranche or Subfacility (which, in the case of each Tranche and each Subfacility, shall be expressed in the Primary Currency of such Tranche or Subfacility, or the Equivalent thereof with respect to any Advances thereunder denominated in any other currency) exceeds the aggregate Commitments then allocable to such Tranche or Subfacility, as applicable, 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 Tranche or Subfacility from time to time.

(ii) 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, the Swing Line Advances 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.

(iii) Prepayments of any Tranche or Subfacility made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be applied first to prepay Letter of Credit Advances relating to such Tranche or Subfacility then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, second to prepay Swing Line Advances relating to such Tranche or Subfacility then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full; third to prepay Revolving Credit Advances relating to such Tranche then outstanding (on a pro rata basis in respect of all applicable Lenders) until such Advances are paid in full and fourth deposited in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to cash collateralize 100% of the Available Amount of the Letters of Credit relating to such Tranche or Subfacility then outstanding to the 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, 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.

(iv) 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:

(ii) Floating Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Floating Rate Advance, subject to clauses (d) and (f) below, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the applicable Floating 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 Floating Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full; provided, however, that during each Rollover Interest Period for the applicable Rollover Borrowing, the Floating Rate and the Applicable Margin with respect to such Rollover Borrowing shall be as specified on Schedule VI hereto.

(iii) CPR Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a CPR Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Canadian Prime 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 CPR Advance shall be paid in full.

(iv) RER Advances. During such period as such Advance is an RFR Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the applicable Daily Simple RFR in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on each RFR Interest Payment Date for such RFR Advance and on the date such RFR Advance shall be paid in full.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(b), no Borrower hereunder shall in any capacity and in no event be obliged to make any payment of interest or any other amount payable to any Lender hereunder in excess of any amount or rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in the receipt by any Lender, or any agreement by any Lender to receive, "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as each such term is defined in and construed under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)).



(c) Notice of Interest Period, Interest Rate and Tenor. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of "Interest Period", the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrowers and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period (in the case of Floating Rate Advances) or tenor (in the case of FRR Advances) and (except with respect to FRR Advances) the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a) above.

Subject to Section 2.07(f), if a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any LIBOR Daily Rate Advances or any Advances for any Interest Period for which the Floating Rate was to have been based on a Eurocurrency Rate, (A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such LIBOR Daily Rate Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (B) each such LIBOR Daily Rate Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advance under any other Tranche, after the last day of the then existing Interest Period, the interest rate on each Lender's share of such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be the applicable Central Bank Rate for such currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that such Central Bank Rate cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Advances shall, at the Borrowers' election either (i) if such Advances are denominated in a currency other than Dollars, solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time or (II) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice and such Advances are not denominated in Dollars, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above, and (C) the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Daily Rate Advances or 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 LIBOR Daily Rate Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances.

(ii) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any RFR Advances denominated in Singapore Dollars, subject to Section 2.07(f), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue RFR Advances in such currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected RFR Advances) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (I) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of RFR Advances in such affected currency (to the extent of the affected RFR Advances) or, failing that, (II) such request shall be ineffective and any outstanding affected RFR Advances, at the Borrowers' election, shall either (A) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such RFR Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time or (B) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above.

(iii) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any RFR Advances denominated in Sterling or Swiss Francs, subject to Section 2.07(f), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue RFR Advances in such currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected RFR Advances) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (I) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of RFR Advances in such affected currency (to the extent of the affected RFR Advances) or, failing that, (II) such request shall be ineffective and any outstanding affected RFR Advances, at the Borrowers' election, shall either (A) bear interest at the applicable Daily RFR Rate plus the Applicable



Margin or (B) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if either no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice or the applicable Central Bank Rate is not available, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (B) above.

(iv) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to an Advance for any Interest Period for which the Floating Rate was to have been based on a rate other than a Eurocurrency Rate, then, subject to Section 2.07(f), the interest rate on each Lender's share of such Advance for such Interest Period shall be the applicable Central Bank Rate for such currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that such Central Bank Rate cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Advances shall, at the Borrowers' election either (I) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time or (II) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Floating Rate Advances in the applicable currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Floating Rate Advances) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.

(v) Subject to Section 2.07(f), if a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or any Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent and such Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche and the Borrowers, be binding on all parties.

(a) 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 LIBOR Daily Rate Advances and 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 LIBOR Daily Rate Advances or 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 Advance 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(e) shall be without duplication of any other component of interest payable by the Borrowers hereunder.

## (f) Benchmark Replacement Setting

On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR's administrator ("IB4"), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a "Loan Document" for purposes of this Section 2.07(f)):

(i) Replacing USD LIBOR. On the earlier of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer



representative, (B) June 30, 2022 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark for Dollars is USD LIBOR, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable no less frequently than on a quarterly basis.

(ii) Replacing Other and Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark (other than (provided that clause (i) above is applicable thereto) USD LIBOR), the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any such Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Tranche Required Lenders of each affected Tranche. At any time that the administrator of any then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator or the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and will not be restored, (A) with respect to amounts denominated in Dollars, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of Advances to be made, Converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrowers' receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have Converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to Base Rate Advances and (B) with respect to amounts denominated in any currency other than Dollars, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances referencing such Benchmark in the affected currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected amounts or Interest Periods (as applicable)) and any outstanding loans in such currency shall immediately or, in the case of a term rate at the end of the applicable Interest Period, be prepaid in full. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, if a component of the Base Rate is based upon the Benchmark, such component will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(iii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of any Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Borrowers) to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(iv) Notices, Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting" may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrowers or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting".

(v) Unavailability of Tender of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers) may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including



(vi) Disclaiming. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (A) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Base Rate, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (B) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, any Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate or any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender Party or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(New York City time) on the tenth (10 \( ^{th} \) ) Business Day after the date notice of such amendment is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not

(h) For purposes of Section 2.07(f)(ii), the sum of (i) the alternate benchmark rate and (ii) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers as the replacement for such Available Tenor of such Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevaluing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for syndicated credit facilities at such time denominated in the applicable currency in the U.S. syndicated loan market;

provided, however, that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than the applicable Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the applicable Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

"Benchmark Transition Event" means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark other than USD LIBOR, the occurrence of one or more of the following events: a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of any then-current Benchmark, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the central bank for the currency applicable to such Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark, announcing or stating that (a) such administrator has ceased or will cease on a specified date to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark or (b) all Available Tenors of such Benchmark are or will no longer be representative and that representativeness will not be restored.

"Daily Simple SOFR" means, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the conventions for this rate recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining "Daily Simple SOFR" for syndicated business loans; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent decides that any such convention is not



administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion, which shall be consistent with a then prevailing market convention.

"Early Opt-in Effective Date" means, with respect to any Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Lenders comprising the affected Tranche Required Lenders.

(2) the joint election by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to trigger a fallback from USD LIBOR and the provision by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Lenders.

"Relevant Governmental Body" means (a) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement in respect of Dollars, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto and (b) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement in respect of any Committed Foreign Currency, (1) the central bank for the currency in which such amounts are denominated hereunder or any central bank or other supervisor which is responsible for supervising either (A) such Benchmark Replacement or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement or (2) any working group or committee officially endorsed or convened by (A) the central bank for the currency in which such amounts are denominated, (B) any central bank or other supervisor that is responsible for supervising either (i) such Benchmark Replacement or (ii) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement, (C) a group of those central banks or other supervisors or (D) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof.

Each Facility Fee shall accrue at all times from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender, from the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date with respect to the initial Lenders holding a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to any Supplemental Tranche and from the Transfer Date applicable to the Assignment and Acceptance or the effective date specified in the Lender Accession Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which it became a Lender under the applicable Tranche in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date. Each Facility Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).

(f) Japan Usury Savings. With respect to a Borrower that is doing business in Japan excluding a TMK or an entity prescribed in Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Act on Specified Commitment Line Contract of Japan (Law No. 4 of 1999, as amended), such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the fees set forth in this Section 2.08 to the extent (but only to the extent) such payment would violate any applicable usury laws of Japan.

SECTION 2.09. Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. Any Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M.

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.

(b) If any Lender Party determines that (i) the introduction of or any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with 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 (A) the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to lend to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or (B) 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.

(c) (i) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBOR Daily Rate Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the Tranche Required Lenders for the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances or the LIBOR Daily Rate, as applicable, will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period or LIBOR Daily Rate Advances, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance and/or LIBOR Daily Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances and immediately in the case of LIBOR Daily Rate Advances, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche to make LIBOR Daily Rate Advances or to make or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d) (i) If, with respect to any Floating Rate Advances not described in Section 2.10(c)(i), the Tranche Required Lenders for any Tranche other than the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche notify the Administrative Agent that the Floating Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequate or reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Floating Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make such Floating Rate Advances shall be suspended and (y) with respect to any Floating Rate Advances that are then outstanding under any Tranche (other than the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche), such Floating Rate Advances shall thereafter bear interest at the applicable Central Bank Rate for such currency plus 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.

(e) 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 (1) make Floating Rate Advances or LIBOR Daily Rate Advances or to fund or continue to



fund or maintain Floating Rate Advances or LIBOR Daily 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, (A) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance and LIBOR Daily Rate Advance by such Lender made pursuant to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, (B) any other Floating Rate Advances denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency shall, solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Floating Rate Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances, and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time and (C) the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or Convert Advances into, Floating Rate Advances and the obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Daily Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension to fund or maintain RFR Advances in any currency hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (A) the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or Convert Advances into, RFR 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 and (B) all RFR Advances shall, solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such RFR Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time; provided, however, that in each case, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Floating Rate Advances or LIBOR Daily Rate Advances (as applicable) or to continue to fund or maintain Floating Rate Advances or LIBOR Daily Rate Advances (as applicable) and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantaged to such Lender. The Conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBOR Daily Rate Advance of any Lender to a Base Rate Advance or the suspension of any obligation of any Lender to make any Floating Rate Advance or LIBOR Daily 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 or LIBOR Daily Rate Advances (as applicable) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) 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, however, 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).

(g) If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), (iii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(d), (iv) any Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or (v) any amount payable to any Lender by a French Borrower is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated) treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for that Borrower by reason of that amount being (A) paid or accrued to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, or (B) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction (any such Lender, an "Affected Lender"), then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent at any time thereafter to cause such Affected Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to a Replacement Lender, provided that the proposed assignment does not conflict with applicable laws. The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Affected Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Affected Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07; provided, however, the Affected Lender shall be



entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment. Any Lender that becomes an Affected Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrowers given in accordance with this Section 2.10(f) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 2.10(f). The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Affected Lender by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by the Affected Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Operating Partnership to require such assignment cease to apply.

SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances under the (I) U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), (II) Multiclrency Revolving Credit Tranche (for all currencies thereunder) not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time), (III) Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche with respect to Advances denominated in Hong Kong Dollars, not later than 12:00 P.M. (Hong Kong time) and (B) Singapore Dollars, not later than 9:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time), (IV) Australian Dollar Tranche with respect to Advances denominated in (A) Australian Dollars, 8:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time), (B) Dollars, 12:00 P.M. (Hong Kong time) and (C) Sterling or Euro, 9:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time) (IV) IDR Revolving Credit Tranche, 10:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time), (V) KRWA Revolving Credit Tranche and the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche, 9:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time), or (VI) any other Tranche not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time), in each case, on the day when due, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12), to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent's Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. Each payment shall be made by the Borrowers in the currency of the applicable Advance to which the applicable payment relates, except to the extent required otherwise hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to accept a payment that is not in the correct currency. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by any Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions and (ii) if such payment by any Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Acceding Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18, a Reallocation pursuant to Section 2.19 or making a Supplemental Tranche Commitment pursuant to Section 2.20 and upon the Administrative Agent's receipt of such Lender's Lender Accession Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the applicable Transter 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. In respect of any assignment pursuant to Section 9.07, the effective date of which, in each case, is not on the last day of an Interest Period (A) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant assigned interest in the Facility that are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favor of the assignor Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (the "Accrued Amounts") and shall become due and payable to the assignor Lender without further interest accruing on them on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six calendar months, on the next of the dates which falls at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period) and (B) the rights assigned or transferred by the assignor Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt: (1) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the assignor Lender and (2) the amount payable to the assignee Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Section 2.11(a), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.



(b) The Administrative Agent shall ensure that its accounts at such office or bank at which and from which payments to be made under this Agreement to Lenders that are funding the Advances to a French Borrower are not located in a country which is qualified as a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(c) (i) All computations of interest (x) based on the Base Rate and (y) on Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars (subject to clause (iv) below), and any other Committed Foreign Currency where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market is to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 or 360 days, as the case may be, shall, in each case, be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 360 days, as the case may be, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

(ii) All computations of (A) interest on Advances based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate, interest on Advances denominated in Dollars under the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche and on Advances denominated in Yen, IDR, Euro, Swiss Francs, Singapore Dollars or any other Committed Foreign Currency where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market is to compute interest on the basis of a year of 360 days and (B) of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable.

(iii) All computation of interest on Advances denominated in Sterling, Singapore Dollars, Australian Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Korean Won or any other Committed Foreign Currency where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market is to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 days shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

(iv) For the purpose of complying with the Interest Act (Canada), it is expressly agreed that with respect to Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars only (i) where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based on a 360 or 365 day period, the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as the case may be) divided by 360 or 365 as relevant and (ii) the annual rates of interest to which the rates determined in accordance with the provisions hereof on the basis of a period of calculation less than a year are equivalent, are the rates so determined (x) multiplied by the actual number of days in the one (1) year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation, and (y) divided by the number of days in the period of calculation. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Floating Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day and (ii) with respect to any RFR Advance, this clause (d) shall be subject to the definition of "RFR Interest Payment Date".

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If, and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of



(i) To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by any Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Committed Foreign Currency or from Dollars to a Committed Foreign Currency or from a Committed Foreign Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, provided that the Borrowers and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrowers or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies effected pursuant to this Section 2.11(i) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; 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(i) save to the extent that it is found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, cost or expense resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties in the order of priority set forth below in this Section 2.11(g). Payments to the Lenders shall be in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Advances denominated in Committed Foreign Currencies will, at any time during the continuance of such Event of Default that the Administrative Agent determines it necessary or desirable to calculate the pro rata share of the Lenders on a Facility-wide basis, be converted on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of Dollars solely for the purposes of making any allocations required under this Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.13(b). The order of priority shall be as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent on such date;

(ii) second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Issuing Banks (solely in their respective capacities as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Banks on such date;

(iii) third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 9.04 and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;



(v) fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a), (b)(i) and (d) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facility on such date;

(vi) sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrowers under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(vii) seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(viii) eighth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances and any reimbursement obligations that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal and reimbursement obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, and to deposit into the L/C Cash Collateral Account any contingent reimbursement obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent required by Section 6.02;

(ix) ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

(x) tenth, the remainder, if any, to the Borrowers for their own account.

SECTION 2.12. Taxes (a) Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any governmental authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, "Taxes"), excluding (i) in the case of each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent, Taxes that are imposed on or measured by its net income by the United States (including branch profits Taxes or alternative minimum Tax) and Taxes that are imposed on or measured by its net income (and franchise or other similar Taxes imposed in lieu thereof) (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, with respect to any Tranche, at the time such Lender Party initially acquires an interest in an Advance in such Tranche (other than pursuant to a transfer of rights and obligations under Section 2.10(f)) or such Lender Party designates a new Applicable Lending Office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(e), additional amounts with respect to such Tax were payable to the Administrative Agent's assignor immediately before the Administrative Agent became the Administrative Agent or to such Lender Party's assignor immediately before such Lender Party, with respect to any Tranche, initially acquired an interest in an Advance in such Tranche or to such Lender Party immediately before it changed its Applicable Lending Office, (iii) any Tax attributable to any Lender Party's or the Administrative Agent's failure or inability (other than any inability as a result of a change in law) to comply with Section 2.12(g), (iv) any Taxes (other than Australian interest withholding Tax in respect of an amount of interest payable under this Agreement) required to be withheld as a result of a direction or notice under section 260-5 of the Australian Tax Act or section 257 of the Australian Tax Act, and (v) any Tax imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (or any amended



or successor version that is substantively comparable), including any current or future implementing Treasury Regulations and administrative pronouncements thereunder and any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, and any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or convention among Applicable Governmental Authorities entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Internal Revenue Code and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules, or official administrative practices adopted pursuant to such intergovernmental agreement (collectively, "FATCA") (all such excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being referred to as "Excluded Taxes", and all Taxes other than Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being referred to as "Indemnified Taxes"). If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (i) subject to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.12(c) below, to the extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, an additional amount shall be payable by such Borrower as may be necessary so that after such Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) A payment shall not be increased under subsection (a) above by reason of a UK Tax Deduction, if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(i) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender Party without a UK Tax Deduction if the Lender Party had been a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender Party is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender Party under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(ii) the relevant Lender Party is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of subsection (b) of the definition of "UK Qualifying Lender" and: (A) an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a "Direction") under section 931 of the UK ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the UK Borrower making the payment a certified copy of that Direction; and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or

(iii) the relevant Lender Party is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of subsection (b) of the definition of "UK Qualifying Lender" and: (A) the relevant Lender Party has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower; and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender Party without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled the UK Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an "excepted payment" for the purpose of section 930 of the UK ITA; or

(iv) the relevant Lender Party is a UK Treaty Lender and the UK Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender Party without the UK Tax Deduction had that Lender Party complied with its obligations under subsections (g)(i) and (iv) (as applicable) below.

(c) A payment shall not be increased under Section 2.12(a) by reason of a French Tax Deduction, if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(i) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a French Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a French Qualifying Lender, but on the date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a French Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation agreement, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or



(ii) the relevant Lender is a French Treaty Lender and the Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the French Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 2.12(g),

provided that the exclusion for changes after the date a Lender became a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) shall not apply in respect of any French Tax Deduction on a payment made to a Lender if such French Tax Deduction is imposed solely because this payment is made to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(d) In addition, but without duplication of amounts payable under Section 2.12(a), the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp, stamp duties (bea material), documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies imposed by any governmental authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, except any Luxembourg registration duties (droit d'enregistrement) applicable pursuant to the voluntary registration by any Lender of any Loan Documents, which shall mean that such registration is (i) not mandatory and (ii) not required to maintain, defend or preserve the rights of the relevant Lenders under the relevant Loan Documents, 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 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; provided, however, that with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche and the Subfacilities thereunder the applicable Lender Party and not the Administrative Agent shall provide any such tax invoices to the applicable Loan Party. Where a Loan Document requires a Loan Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, as applicable, for any costs or expenses, such Loan Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, an amount equal to any Indirect Tax incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, in respect of the costs or expenses, save to the extent that that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, is entitled to repayment or credit in respect of the Indirect Tax. The Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, will promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax; provided, however, that with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche and the Administrative Agent shall provide any such tax invoices to the applicable Loan Party.

(e) Without duplication of Sections 2.12(a) or 2.12(d) and subject to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.12(c), the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12 in respect of any penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent such penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to any governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.



(g) (i) Any Lender Party (which, for purposes of this Section 2.12(g) shall include the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding and each UK Treaty Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to which such Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without a UK Tax Deduction. In addition, any Lender Party, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such entity is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements with respect to such Lender Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any form or document referred to in this subsection (g) (other than any form or document referred to in subsection (g)(ii)(A), (B) or (D) of this Section 2.12) requires the disclosure of information that the applicable Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) any Lender Party that is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender Party becomes a Lender Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) each Lender Party that is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) (each, a "Foreign Lender") shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, 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-BBEN or W-BBEN-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-BBEN or W-BBEN-E (claiming an exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax under an applicable treaty) or its successor form, Form W-BEIC (claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax as effectively connected income) or its successor form, or Form W-SIMV (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 withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3) (C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or



the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender Party has complied with such Lender Party's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this subsection (g), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes.

(iv) A UK Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm in writing its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to any UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, having done so, that Lender Party shall be under no obligation pursuant to subsection (i) above in respect of an Advance to any such UK Borrower. If a UK Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with this subsection (iv) and: (a) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender Party has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender Party; or (b) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender Party has made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing but (a) that UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or (B) HM Revenue & Customs have not given the UK Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender Party without a UK Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing, and in each case, the UK Borrower has notified that Lender Party in writing, that Lender Party and the UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.

(v) If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with subsection (iv) above, no UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender Party's Loan(s) unless that Lender Party otherwise agrees.

(vi) A UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that UK Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant UK Treaty Lender.

(vii) A UK Qualifying Non-Bank Lender shall become a party to this Agreement gives a UK Tax Confirmation to any UK Borrower by entering into this Agreement. A UK Qualifying Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify any UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation.

(viii) Each Lender Party in respect of a UK Borrower which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate in the Assignment and Acceptance, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Borrower, which of the following categories it falls in: (A) not a UK Qualifying Lender; (B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or (C) a UK Treaty Lender. If a Lender Party fails to indicate its status in accordance with this subsection (viii) then such Lender Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Borrower) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform each UK Borrower).

(ix) Each Lender Party which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the transfer agreement which it executes on becoming a party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, which of the following categories it falls in: (A) not a French Qualifying Lender; (B) a French Qualifying Lender (other than a French Treaty Lender); or (C) a French Treaty Lender. If such new Lender Party fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.12(g)(ix) then such new Lender Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it is not a French Qualifying Lender



until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Operating Partnership). For the avoidance of doubt, a transfer agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender Party to comply with this Section 2.12(g)(ix).

(h) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, (x) be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party or (y) subject such Lender Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense. If any amount payable under this Agreement by a French Borrower becomes not deductible from that Borrower's taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Lender Party incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender Party in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, then such Lender Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate such issues including by designating a different lending office for each affected Loan if such designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

(i) If any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by any Borrower or for which the Borrowers have indemnified any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any reasonable expenses incurred by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrowers shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall have any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by the Borrowers.

(j) To the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, the Administrative Agent shall (i) act as the withholding agent solely with respect to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche contemplated by the Loan Documents, taking into account that each of the Borrowers (other than the Operating Partnership, the Initial Multicurrency Borrower 3 and the Initial Singapore Borrower 3) as of the date hereof is intended to be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Operating Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) prepare and file (on behalf of the Borrowers), and furnish to the applicable Lender Parties, any required Internal Revenue Service Form 1042-S with respect to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent (including, for this purpose, the Pledged Issuer, in its capacity as the Pledged Issuer) shall not act as withholding agent (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) in the case of any Lender Tranche, the Administrative Agent or such affiliate shall (i) act as withholding agent (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) with respect to such Tranche as required by law and (ii) prepare and file (on behalf of the Borrowers) and furnish to the applicable Lender Parties any required Internal Revenue Service Form 1042-S with respect to such Tranche. The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers further agree to mutually cooperate and furnish or cause to be furnished upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax returns and complying with all Tax withholding and information reporting requirements. With respect to each Tranche and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide the Borrowers information regarding the interest, principal, fees or other amounts payable to each Person pursuant to the Loan Documents by January 31 of each year following the year during which such payment was made.

(k) For purposes of this Section 2.12 (except for purposes of the first sentence of paragraph (i), references to the Administrative Agent shall include any Affiliate or sub-agent of the Administrative Agent, in each case performing any duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.



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 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (a) on account of (i) obligations due and payable to such Applicable Lender Party with respect to such Tranche under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Applicable Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Applicable Lender Parties with respect to such Tranche under the Loan Documents at such time (for) (b) on account of (i) obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Applicable Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Applicable Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Applicable Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Applicable Lender Parties hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Applicable Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of such Applicable Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Applicable Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of such Applicable Lender Parties at such time, such Applicable Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from such other Applicable Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Applicable Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Applicable Lender Party, such purchase from each other Applicable Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Applicable Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Applicable Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Applicable Lender Party's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Applicable Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Applicable Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Applicable Lender Party's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Applicable Lender Party's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Applicable Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Applicable Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Applicable Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Applicable Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Applicable Lender Party were the director creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

(b) Pro Rata Sharing Following Event of Default. Notwithstanding Section 2.13(a), following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and the notional conversion of all Advances denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency into Dollars pursuant to Section 2.11(g), subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(g), if any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (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 obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time) of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties under the Loan Document at such time) of the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount



Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely for the acquisition, development and redevelopment of Assets, for repayment of Debt, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (a) the proceeds of Advances and Letters of Credit under the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche shall be available solely for the purposes of Korean Working Capital and (b) the proceeds of Advances and Letters of Credit under the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche shall be available solely for the purposes of Korean Capital Expenditures. 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, (i) 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 (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Facility, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise) or any Anti-Corruption Laws.

SECTION 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder. The Borrowers agree that upon notice by any Lender Party to any Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the applicable Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender Party. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Note shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) may include a control account and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party. In each account with respect to each Lender Party (including the control account and subsidiary account, if applicable) there shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period or tenor 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.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Advances will be treated as in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(b)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code).



SECTION 2.16. Extension of Termination Date. The Borrowers may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date, a six-month extension of the Termination Date with respect to the Commitments then outstanding and (ii) thereafter, an additional six-month extension provided at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date (as extended pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence) (each, an "Extension Request"). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Extension Request and the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date (as defined below), be extended for an additional six-month period, provided that, on such Extension Date (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.08(d) and (b) the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the applicable Extension Date, stating that: (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (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 Extension Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate in all material respects or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date)), and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension. "Extension Date" means, in the case of each extension option, the first date after the delivery by the Borrowers of the related Extension Request that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied. In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on the Termination Date as so extended. As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the "Termination Date" shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended.

SECTION 2.17. Cash Collateral Account. (a) Grant of Security. The Borrowers hereby pledge to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, the Borrowers' right, title and interest in and to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all (i) funds and financial assets from time to time credited thereto (including, without limitation, all Cash Equivalents), all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds and financial assets, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C Cash Collateral Account, (ii) and all promissory notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for or on behalf of the Borrowers, in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral and (iii) all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time 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 (i)KRW-A Borrowers and KRW-B Borrowers are restricted under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act of Korea from providing security interests for the benefit of third parties or (ii) 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 Korean Borrower or a TMK, as applicable, shall solely secure its own obligations hereunder and not the obligation of any other Borrower.

(b) Maintaining the L/C Account Collateral. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:

(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.

(c) Investing of Amounts in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent will, from time to time invest (i)(A) amounts received with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account as the Borrowers may select and the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, may approve in its reasonable discretion, and (B) interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (i)(A) above, and (ii) reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account.

(d) Release of Amounts. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent will pay and release to any Borrower or at its order or, at the request of any Borrower, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.

(e) Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies available pursuant to Article VI hereof and under the other Loan Documents, (i) the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the L/C Account Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected L/C Account Collateral), and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrowers, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents against any funds held with respect to the L/C Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

SECTION 2.18. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrowers may, at any time by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by not less than the Increase Minimum in the aggregate (each such proposed increase, a "Commitment Increase") to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the "Increase Date") as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments increased pursuant to this Section 2.18 exceed $1,500,000,000 since the Closing Date (including the Equivalent thereof in Dollars with respect to any Commitments denominated in currencies other than Dollars), (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the conditions set forth in Sections 3.01(a)(i) and 3.02 shall be satisfied and (iii) the Borrowers' notice to the Administrative Agent shall indicate the proposed allocation of each such Commitment Increase among the affected Revolving Credit Commitments (each, an "Apportioned Commitment Increase").

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees as are designated by the Borrowers of each request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amounts of the Commitment Increase and each Apportioned Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders and such Eligible Assignees wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments or to establish their Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (the "Commitment Date"). Each Lender and Eligible Assignee that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an "Increasing Lender") shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase or establish, as applicable, each applicable Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender. If the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase (on a net basis, as applicable) the amount of their respective applicable Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Apportioned Commitment Increase relating to such



Revolving Credit Commitments, the requested Apportioned Commitment Increase shall be allocated to each Lender and Eligible Assignee willing to participate therein in such a manner as is agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. For avoidance of doubt, each Lender's sole right to approve or consent to any Commitment Increase shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment Increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.18(b).

(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders and Eligible Assignees are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase; provided, however, that the Commitment of each Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of the Commitment Increase Minimum or an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in a Committed Foreign Currency), or, if less than the Commitment Increase Minimum, the amount of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed by the Lenders or such Eligible Assignees as of the applicable Commitment Date.

(d) On each Increase Date, (x) each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(b) (an "Acceding Lender") shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and such Acceding Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (y) the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.18(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) an accession agreement from each Acceding Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and the Administrative Agent (each, a "Lender Accession Agreement"), duly executed by such Acceding Lender, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower; and

(ii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender (acknowledged by the Operating Partnership on behalf of the Loan Parties) of the increase in the amount of its applicable Revolving Credit Commitment (and the allocation thereof among the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments that are increasing) in a writing satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and the Administrative Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Administrative Agent shall provide reasonable prior notice to the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Acceding Lender) and the Borrowers, by email or facsimile, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Acceding Lender on such date.

(e) On the Increase Date, to the extent the Advances then outstanding and owed to any Lender under the Tranche subject to the Apportioned Commitment Increase immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase shall be less than such Lender's Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders under such Tranche (each such Lender, including any Acceding Lender, an "Increase Purchasing Lender"), then such Increase Purchasing Lender, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender under the applicable Tranche that is not an Increase Purchasing Lender (an "Increase Selling Lender") in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender under the applicable Tranche shall equal such Lender's Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase on the Increase Date) of all Advances then outstanding and owed to all Lenders under such Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Increase Purchasing Lender and received by each Increase Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Increase Date. Each Increase Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the applicable Increase Funding Deadline on the Increase Date or the Business Day immediately prior to the Increase Date, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase



(f) If in connection with the transactions described in this Section 2.18 any Lender shall incur any losses, costs or expenses of the type described in Section 9.04(c), then the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for such losses, costs or expenses reasonably incurred.

SECTION 2.19. Reallocation of Commitments. (a) Without limitation of the Borrowers' rights under Section 2.18 or Section 2.20, the Borrowers may, at any time (but not more often than once in any 30 day period), upon not less than seven calendar days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (the "Reallocation Notice"), reallocate the aggregate amount of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments (including any related Subactivity) among the Tranches (including, without limitation, a Supplemental Tranche (the "Reallocation Notice"), reallocate the aggregate amount of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments accordance with Section 2.20) (each a "Reallocation") by not less than the Reallocation Minimum to be effective as of a date (each a "Reallocation Date") that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any Reallocation cause the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Tranche to be less than the lesser of (1) the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or (2) the portion of the Facility Exposure then allocable to such Tranche, (ii) in no event shall any Subactivity Reallocation cause the Commitments relating to any Increasing Subactivity to exceed the Commitments relating to the Tranche of which such Increasing Subactivity is a part, (iii) on the Reallocation Date the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the Reallocation Date, stating that (x) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified as a notoriety or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as though made on and as of the Reallocation Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date) and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Reallocation, (iv) immediately after giving effect to such Reallocation, in no event shall the aggregate principal amount (expressed in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche and including the Equivalent in such Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche and including the Currency other than such Primary Currency) of the Advances under any Tranche outstanding at such time (plus the Available Amount (expressed in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche and including the Equivalent in such Primary Currency at such time of any amounts denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency other than such Primary Currency) of all outstanding Letters of Credit with respect to such Tranche at such time exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to such Tranche at such time. The Reallocation Notice shall (x) specify (1) the proposed aggregate amount of such Reallocation (the "Total Reallocation Amount"), (2) the aggregate amount of any proposed Subactivity Reallocation, (3) the Tranche or Tranches and Subactivity or Subfacilities (if any) being increased (each, an "Increasing Tranche" or an "Increasing Subfacility", as the case may be), (4) the Tranche or Tranches and Subfacility or Subfacilities (if any) being decreased (each, a "Decreasing Tranche" or a "Decreasing Subfacility", as the case may be), and (5) the proposed Reallocation Date and (y) contain a certification signed by a Responsible Officer of the Operating Partnership stating that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.19(a) have been satisfied or, as of the Reallocation Date, will be satisfied.

(b) Upon receipt of any Reallocation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Reallocation Notice to each affected Issuing Bank, each affected Swing Line Bank and each affected Lender and notify each affected Lender Party of (i) its proposed proportionate share of (A) any Decreasing Tranche, (B) any Decreasing Subfacility, (C) any Increasing Tranche, (D) any Increasing Subfacility, (E) the Total Reallocation Amount, (F) the amount of any Subfacility Reallocation and (ii) the date by which (x) Lenders (other than Approved Reallocation Lenders) with increasing Commitments, if any, resulting from such Reallocation must commit in writing to the increase in their respective Commitments and (y) any other Affected Reallocation Lender Parties must approve such Reallocation (the "Reallocation Commitment Date"). Such determinations shall be made by the Administrative Agent for each applicable Lender Party in consultation with (I) the Borrowers, (II) those Lender Parties with proposed increasing Commitments (other than Approved Reallocation Lenders) and (III) in the case of an Increasing Subfacility, all Lenders in the Tranche of which such Increasing Subfacility is a part (II) and (III) collectively referred to as the "Affected Reallocation Lender Parties"). Each such Affected Reallocation Lender Party that consents to such Reallocation shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day.



prior to the Reallocation Commitment Date of its consent, which notice, where applicable, shall specify the amount by which it is willing to increase its applicable Commitment; for avoidance of doubt, no Reallocation shall be effective without the consent of all Affected Reallocation Lender Parties and each Lender Party's sole right to approve or consent to any Reallocation shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.19(b). With respect to a proposed Tranche Reallocation (but not a proposed Subactivity Reallocation), if any Lender (other than an Approved Reallocation Lender) in the Increasing Tranche shall fail to provide such notice within one Business Day prior to the Reallocation Commitment Date or shall decline, in whole or in part, to commit to its allocable share of the Commitment increase for the Increasing Tranche, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly offer such share to the Approved Reallocation Lenders in the Increasing Tranche and the other Lenders in the Increasing Tranche that are willing to participate in such Commitment increase on a pro rata basis. Each Issuing Bank shall confirm in writing its approval of the Reallocation.

(c) Promptly following the Reallocation Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any shortfall in the Commitments allocable to the Increasing Tranche and whether such Reallocation has been approved by all Affected Reallocation Lender Parties. In the event of any such shortfall with respect to a Tranche Reallocation, the provisions of Sections 2.18(c) and 2.18(d) shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

(d) On the applicable Reallocation Date, (i) the Reallocation shall be effected by x) reallocating Unused Revolving Credit Commitments from the Decreasing Tranche(s) to the Increasing Tranche(s) on a dollar-for-dollar basis and/or (y) reallocating Unused Commitments in respect of the affected Subfacilities from the Decreasing Subfacility(ies) to the Increasing Subfacility(ies) on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and (ii) to the extent Advances then outstanding and owed to any applicable Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reallocation shall be less than such Lender's Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Reallocation) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders in any affected Tranche (collectively, including any applicable Acceding Lender, the "Reallocation Purchasing Lenders"), in each case as applicable, then such Reallocation Purchasing Lenders, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender that is not a Reallocation Purchasing Lender (collectively, the "Reallocation Selling Lenders"), in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender shall equal such Lender's Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation) of all Advances then outstanding in respect of the applicable Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Reallocation Purchasing Lender and received by each Reallocation Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Reallocation Date. Each Reallocation Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the Reallocation Funding Dedication on the Reallocation Date or the Business Day immediately prior to the Reallocation Funding Dedication, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Reallocation Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Reallocation Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) On the Reallocation Date, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver a replacement Note payable to each Lender requesting the same in a principal amount equal to such Lender's respective Revolving Credit Commitment immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation. Each Lender receiving a replacement Note shall promptly return to the applicable Borrower any previously issued Note for which such replacement Note was delivered in exchange.

(g) On the Reallocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide reasonable prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers, by facsimile or email, of the occurrence of the Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date and shall promptly distribute to the Lenders and the Borrowers a copy of Schedule I hereto revised to reflect such Reallocation. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Lender on such Reallocation Date in accordance with Section 9.07.



(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 2.19(c), no Reallocation of any Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall cause an increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender and its Affiliates under all Tranches.

SECTION 2.20. Supplemental Tranches. The Borrowers may from time to time request (each such request, a "Supplemental Tranche Request") certain Lenders and Eligible Assignees to provide one or more supplemental tranches for Advances in an amount of at least $25,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in a foreign currency) (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree) per tranche in a currency (a "Supplemental Currency") that is not included as a Committed Foreign Currency at the time of such Supplemental Tranche Request (each such new tranche, a "Supplemental Tranche"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Primary Currency of any Supplemental Tranche may or may not be in Dollars. Each Supplemental Tranche Request shall be made in the form of an addendum substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a "Supplemental Addendum") and sent to the Administrative Agent and shall set forth (i) the proposed currency of such Supplemental Tranche, (ii) the proposed existing Borrower or Borrowers and/or the proposed Additional Borrower or Additional Borrowers that will be the proposed Supplemental Borrower with respect to the Supplemental Tranche, (iii) the proposed interest types and rates for such Supplemental Tranche, (iv) the other matters set forth on the form of Supplemental Addendum, and (v) any other specific terms of such Supplemental Tranche that the Borrowers deem necessary, provided that the maturity date of any Advance under any Supplemental Tranche shall not be later than the Termination Date. As a condition precedent to the addition of a Supplemental Tranche to this Agreement: (i) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to the applicable Supplemental Tranche must be able to make Advances in the Supplemental Currency in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; (ii) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to such Supplemental Tranche and the Administrative Agent must execute the requested Supplemental Addendum; (iii) each of the proposed Supplemental Borrowers under such Supplemental Tranche shall be an existing Borrower or an Additional Borrower with regard to such Supplemental Tranche and each such Supplemental Borrower and each other Loan Party shall execute the Supplemental Addendum, and (iv) any other documents or certificates that shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of the Supplemental Tranche shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18.2 and 2.19 and this Section 2.20, each Supplemental Tranche shall be committed to by Lenders pursuant to (x) an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.18 or (y) Reallocations of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments to the applicable Supplemental Tranche pursuant to Section 2.19. No Lender shall be obligated to make a Supplemental Tranche Commitment and a Lender may agree to do so in its sole discretion. For avoidance of doubt, each Lender's sole right to approve or consent to any Supplemental Tranche Commitment shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Supplemental Tranche Commitment in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.20. If a Supplemental Tranche Request is accepted in accordance with this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower shall determine the effective date of such Supplemental Tranche (the "Supplemental Tranche Effective Date"), the final allocation of such Supplemental Tranche and any other terms of such Supplemental Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute a revised Schedule I to each Lender reflecting such new Supplemental Tranche and notify each Lender of the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date. Promptly after a Supplemental Tranche Request, if the Administrative Agent cannot act as the funding agent therefor, the Operating Partnership shall, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint the proposed funding agent for the requested Supplemental Tranche. Each such funding agent shall (A) execute the applicable Supplemental Addendum and (B) administer the applicable Supplemental Tranche and, in connection therewith, shall have authority consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of the Administrative Agent's administration of the Facility; provided, however, that no such funding agent shall be authorized to take any enforcement action unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Each such funding agent shall entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04 to the same extent as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. (a) If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility:

(i) the Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in the Tranche



under which such Letter of Credit of Facility is a Subfacility pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in such Tranche, provided that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender's total Facility Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender with respect to the applicable Tranche as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (b) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (c) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii) to the extent that any portion of the Defaulting Lender's Facility Exposure with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first provision 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 applicable Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Operating Partnership may request to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply any such amount in accordance with Section 2.11(g).

(b) If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lender Parties in the same Tranche and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Applicable Pro Rata Share of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Applicable Pro Rata Share of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing), provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; 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.



SECTION 2.22. Reallocation of Lender Pro Rata Shares; No Novation. On the Effective Date, the Advances made under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been made under this Agreement, without the execution by the Borrowers or the Lender Parties of any other documentation, and all such Advances currently outstanding shall be deemed to have been simultaneously reallocated among the Lenders as follows:

(a) On the Effective Date, each Lender that will have a greater Applicable Pro Rata Share of the applicable Tranche upon the Effective Date than its Applicable Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a "Tranche Purchasing Lender"), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased the applicable Tranche upon the Effective Date (each, a "Tranche Pro Rata Share of such Tranche upon the Effective Date than its Applicable Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) upon the Tranche Purchasing Lender") immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a "Tranche Securitization Agreement") so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Commitment as set forth in Loan Documents as a Lender (collectively, the "Tranche Assigned Rights and Obligations") so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Commitment as set forth in Schedule I hereto and a corresponding Applicable Pro Rata Share of all Advances then outstanding under such Tranche. Each such purchase hereunder shall be at par for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the loans and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each Tranche Selling Lender shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each Tranche Purchasing Lender that the Tranche Assigned Rights and Obligations of such Tranche Selling Lender are not subject to any Liens created by that Tranche Selling Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount of each Lender's Revolving Credit Advances in respect of such Tranche outstanding at any time exceed its Commitment in respect of such Tranche as set forth in Schedule I hereto.

## (b) [Reserved].

(c) The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid or received by each Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Effective Date. Each Lender required to make a payment pursuant to this Section shall make the net amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at (i) in the case of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Effective Date, (ii) in the case of the Multilinearity Revolving Credit Tranche, the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the Effective Date and (iii) in the case of each of the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the IDR Revolving Credit Tranche, the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche and the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche, the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (Hong Kong time) on the Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Effective Date the proceeds of such amounts to the Lenders entitled to receive payments pursuant to this Section, pro rata in proportion to the amount each such Lender is entitled to receive at the primary address set forth in Schedule I hereto or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a discharge, extinguishment or novation of the Obligations of the Loan Parties outstanding under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement or any instruments securing the same, which Obligations shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the date hereof as "Revolving Credit Advances" except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently with this Agreement.

## SECTION 2.23. Sustainability Adjustments.

(b) Following the date on which the Operating Partnership provides a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent as provided herein in respect of its then most recently ended Annual Period, (i) the Applicable Margin for purposes of calculating interest on the Advances shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth



in such Pricing Certificate and (ii) the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) each of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(c) based upon the Certified Capacity set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment calculations, as applicable, therein (such Business Day, the "Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date") and (B) each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate or the delivery of an incomplete Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(c)).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Annual Period, and the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee will not be reduced or increased pursuant to this Section 2.23 by more than 4.0 basis points (such limit, the "Maximum Margin Adjustment"), and the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee will never be reduced or increased by more than 1.0 basis points, in each case pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment, as applicable, in respect of any Annual Period (such limit, the "Maximum Facility Fee Adjustment"). For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and/or the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee by reason of meeting the Certified Capacity in any year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.

(d) If no such Pricing Certificate is delivered by the Operating Partnership (or any Pricing Certificate shall be incomplete) within the period set forth in Section 5.03(c), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 4.0 basis points and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment will be positive 1.0 basis points commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 5.03(c) and continuing until the Operating Partnership delivers a complete Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) If (i)(A) any of the Operating Partnership or the Required Lenders become aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity as reported on the applicable Pricing Certificate as certified by the KPI Metric Auditor (a "Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy") and not later than ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, the Required Lenders or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail including, to the extent applicable, calculations supporting such material inaccuracy (who shall furnish a copy to each of the Lenders and the Operating Partnership) or (B) the Operating Partnership and the Required Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of the relevant Pricing Certificate, (ii) the KPI Metric Auditor confirms in writing that there was in fact a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and (iii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee for such period, then the Operating Partnership shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Operating Partnership under any Bankruptcy Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Operating Partnership has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to: the excess of (x) the amount of interest and fees that would have been payable for such period at the rate giving effect to the proper Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or Sustainability Margin Adjustment, as applicable over (y) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period (the "True-Up Amount"). If the Operating Partnership becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity would have resulted



in a decrease in the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee for such period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Operating Partnership of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity, as applicable), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for purpose of calculating interest on the Facility Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity, as applicable.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, in and of itself, shall constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Operating Partnership under any Bankruptcy Law, (i) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (d) above shall not be due and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection (d) above, (ii) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to such demand for payment by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and (iii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such a demand or shall accrue interest at the rate specified in Section 2.07(b) prior to such a demand. In the event the Operating Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Section 2.23, the Lenders' sole recourse with respect to such non-compliance shall be limited to the True-Up Amount.

(g) None of the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender Party shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Operating Partnership of any Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or any Sustainability Margin Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any KPI Metric Report or Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

(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);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or



(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(i) that such Guarantor is or, after giving the financial assistance, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

(ii) that the realizable value of such Guarantor's assets, excluding the amount of any financial assistance in the form of a loan or in the form of assets pledged or encumbered to secure the Guaranty, after giving the financial assistance, would be less than the aggregate of such Guarantor's liabilities and stated capital of all classes.

(2) 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.

(i) It is acknowledged that such French Guarantor is not acting jointly and severally with the other Guarantors as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee given pursuant to this Article VII.

(g) Germany: (i) The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor incorporated or established and existing as a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) (each, a "German GmbH Guarantor"), shall be subject to the following limitations. To the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations include liabilities of such German GmbH Guarantor's direct or indirect shareholder(s) (each, an "Up-stream Guaranty") or its affiliated companies (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than Subsidiaries of that German GmbH Guarantor) (each, a "Cross-stream Guaranty") (save for any guarantee of funds to the extent they (x) are on-lent and/or (y) replace or refinance funds which were on-lent in each case to that German GmbH Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-lent is not returned), the guaranty created under this Article VII shall not be enforced against such German GmbH Guarantor at the



time of the respective Payment Demand (as defined below) if and only to the extent that the German GmbH Guarantor demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the enforcement would have the effect of: (1) causing such German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets (as defined below) to be reduced below zero, or (2) if its Net Assets are already below zero, causing such amount to be further reduced, and thereby, in each case, affecting its assets required for the maintenance of its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) pursuant to Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, "GmbHG"), as applicable at the time of enforcement. No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Article VII will prejudice the rights of the Administrative Agent to again enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII at a later time under this Agreement (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such further enforcement). "Net Assets" means the applicable German GmbH Guarantor's assets (section 26e 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 26e subsection (3) D, E HGB), its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) (section 26e subsection (3A)(1) HGB) and any amounts not available for distribution according to Section 268 subsection (8) HGB. The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years, but for the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows: (x) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des gesetzlichen Kapitals) after the date of this Agreement shall be deducted from the stated share capital unless permitted under the Loan Documents or approved by the Administrative Agent); (y) loans received by, and other contractual liabilities of, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor which are subordinated within the meaning of section 39 subsection 1 no. 5 or section 39 subsection 2 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (contractually or by law) shall be disregarded; and (z) loans and other contractual liabilities incurred by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be disregarded.

(ii) The limitations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) only apply if within 15 Business Days after receipt from the Administrative Agent of a notice stating that the Administrative Agent intends to demand payment under this Article VII against the applicable German GmbH Guarantor (each, a "Payment Demand"), the managing director(s) of such German GmbH Guarantor has (have) confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) why and to what extent the guarantee is an Up-stream Guaranty or a Cross-stream Guaranty and (B) which amount of such Up-stream Guaranty or Cross-stream Guaranty, as applicable, may not be enforced given that the applicable German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets are below zero or such enforcement would cause such German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets to be reduced below zero, as a result of which such enforcement would lead to a violation of the capital maintenance rules as set out in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation of the amount of such German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the "Management Determination"). Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above, and the Administrative Agent may enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause such German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero. Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Management Determination, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent upon request within 30 Business Days an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, prepared by an auditor of international reputation appointed by such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the "Auditor's Determination"). Such balance sheet and Auditor's Determination shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in



Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Altersabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years. Each Auditor's Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the enforcement of this Article VII. Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Auditor's Determination, not cause the Net Assets of the German GmbH Guarantor to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.

(iii) Each German GmbH Guarantor shall, within 60 Business Days after receipt of a Payment Demand, realize, unless not legally permitted to do so, any and all of its assets (other than assets that are necessary for the business (betriebsnovendelig) of such German GmbH Guarantor) that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially (i.e., at least 20%) lower than the market value of the assets if, as a result of the enforcement of the guaranty created under this Article VIII 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)(iii) within a period of 20 Business Days following the applicable request. If the Administrative Agent disagrees with any Auditor's Determination or the new calculation referred to in this Section 7.09(g)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to pursue in court a claim under this Article VII in excess of the amounts paid or payable pursuant to the provisions above, for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that the relevant German GmbH Guarantor shall not be obligated to pay any such excessive amounts on demand.

(iv) The restrictions set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) shall only apply if, to the extent and for so long as (A) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor has complied with its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.09(g)(ii) and (iii), (B) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor is not a party to a profit and loss sharing agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) and/or a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) (within the meaning of Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)) where such German GmbH Guarantor is the dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) and/or the entity being obliged to share its profits with the other party of such profit and loss sharing agreement other than to the extent that the existence of such a profit and loss sharing agreement and/or domination agreement does not result in the inapplicability of the relevant restrictions set forth in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and (C) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor does, at the time when a payment is made under this Article VII, not hold a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) (within the meaning of section 30 (1) sentence 2 GmbHG) against the relevant shareholder covering at least the relevant amount payable under this Article VII.

(v) Sections 7.09(g)(i) through (iv) shall apply mutatis mutandis to a Guarantor organized and existing as a limited liability partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft – KG) with a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) as its sole general partner, provided that in such case and for the purpose of this Article VII, any reference to such Guarantor's net assets (Reinvermögen) shall be deemed to be a reference to the net assets (Reinvermögen) of such Guarantor and its general partner (Komplementär) on a pro forma consolidated basis.

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 Accessing Lender as provided in Section 2.18 or 2.19 or an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by a Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent's reliance on any electronic signature delivered pursuant to Section 9.08); (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, email 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 any Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any Person, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger shall be bound to account to the Lenders for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of its delegates or agents or for supervising them; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall absolve the Administrative Agent for any liability found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrowers shall not commence any proceeding against any of the Administrative Agent's directors, officers or employees with respect to the Administrative Agent's acts or omissions relating to the Facility or the Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.03. Waiver of Conflicts of Interest; Etc. 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 the Arrangers acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent as described in this Section 8.03.

SECTION 8.04. Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring 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 acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring 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.

(b) 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.



(c) For purposes of this Section 8.05, the Lender Parties' respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to the applicable Tranche at such time (without exclusion of any Defaulting Lender). The fair value of any Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party's ratable share of such amount. The terms "Administrative Agent" and "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to include the employees, directors, officers and affiliates of the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 8.05. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Advances outstanding under a Tranche will be converted by the Administrative Agent on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of the Primary Currency of such Tranche for the purposes of making any allocations required under 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 Swing Line Bank and released from all obligations in respect thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which appointment shall, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and which appointment shall be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. 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.

SECTION 8.07. Certain ERISA Matters. (a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,



(ii) the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transaction involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable so as to exempt from the applicable prohibitions of ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 specified in such exemptions such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a "Qualified Professional Asset Manager" (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 8.08. Payments in Error. (a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender Party or any other Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party (any such Lender Party or other recipient, and each of their respective successors and assigns, a "Payment Recipient") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted, or to otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not such error or mistake is known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erozone Payment") and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erozone Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erozone Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.08 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any other Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf) to promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erozone Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erozone Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.



(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), if any Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Payment Recipient shall (and shall cause any other Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 8.08(a) or on whether or not an Erozone Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender Party and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erozone Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Swing Line Bank that has received such Erozone Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erozone Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "Erozone Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Administrative Agent's notice to such Lender or Swing Line Bank at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender or Swing Line Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Tranche with respect to which such Erozone Payment was made (the "Erozone Payment Imputed Tranche") in an amount equal to the Erozone Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erozone Payment Imputed Tranche, the "Erozone Payment Deficiency Assignment") (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to have executed and delivered an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to any Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erozone Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Swing Line Bank shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall be deemed to have acquired the Erozone Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall become a Lender or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erozone Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or Swing Line Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erozone Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or Swing Line Bank, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to



have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 9.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Swing Line Bank (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Swing Line Bank (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender or Swing Line Bank from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender Party or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights") (provided that the Loan Parties' Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, provided that this Section 8.08 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent, provided further that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, no Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 8.08 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 8.08(d) above); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the terms of Section 7.06 (but for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, if a Loan Party has paid principal, interest or any other amounts



owed to a Secured Party, Section 7.06 shall not require any such Loan Party to pay additional amounts that are by way of Section 7.06, effectively duplicative of such previously paid amounts).

SECTION 8.09. Sustainability. It is understood and agreed that neither the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents nor the Administrative Agent make any assurances as to (a) whether this Agreement meets any Operating Partnership, Parent Guarantor, Borrower or Lender criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, or (b) whether the characteristics of the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators included in this Agreement, including any environmental and sustainability criteria or any computation methodology with respect thereto, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities. It is further understood and agreed that neither the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor or any Borrower of (i) the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators or (ii) any adjustment to the Applicable Margin (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any notice regarding the satisfaction of the Sustainability Metric Percentage for any Fiscal Year (and the Administrative Agent and each Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such notice, without further inquiry, when implementing any such pricing adjustment).

In addition, if either (i) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in any of the Loan Documents or (ii) the Operating Partnership shall request one or more amendments of a technical nature to this Agreement in connection with the addition of a new Supplemental Tranche or a new Committed Foreign Currency that the Administrative Agent agrees is appropriate, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such this Agreement and/or the applicable Loan Document without any further action or consent of any other party if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders (or, if such amendment relates solely to a specific Tranche, the Tranche Required Lenders in respect of such Tranche) to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

(b) 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, all Lenders in respect of a Tranche or all affected Lenders and that has, where applicable, been consented to by the Required Lenders or the Tranche 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.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward such notice to all Lenders) make an offer (a "Loan Modification Offer") to all Lenders of one or more Tranches to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of such Tranches and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and, in connection with such extension, to (i) increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Tranches and/or the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or the payment of additional fees or other



consideration to the Accepting Lenders, and/or (i) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the Required Lenders under Section 9.01(a) to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date in effect immediately prior to its extension by such Accepting Lenders) (collectively, "Permitted Amendments"). Such notice shall set forth (A) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments, and (B) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days nor more than 120 days after the date of such notice). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Tranches and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the "Accepting Lenders") and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender's Tranches and/or Commitments as to which such Lender's acceptance has been made. The Loan Parties, each Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall enter into a loan modification agreement (the "Loan Modification Agreement") and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence (x) the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and (y) the authorization of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement. 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 Tranches and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders' acceptance has been made.

(d) 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, the Tranche Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definitions of "Required Lenders" and "Tranche 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 provision, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) 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 and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend the provisions of Section 9.02 with respect to notices that either the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may deliver to each other but not with respect to notices to be delivered to any other Lender Party.

(f) If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.01(a) and any Lender shall fail to respond to such consent request (which response must include any information as may have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent from such Lender in connection with such consent request) within the earlier of (x) the applicable time period specified for the granting or withholding of such consent pursuant to the Loan Documents, if any, and (y) ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such request, then the Lender that has failed to respond shall be deemed to have consented to such request.

the maturity of the Advances or the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if any Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation (for Advances other than RFR Advances), any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance. An certificate as to any amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) shall be submitted to the Borrowers by the applicable Lender Party and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error.

(d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9.04, for so long as a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from guaranteeing or being liable for the obligations of any other Person, a TMK that is a Borrower shall be liable only for obligations under this Section 9.04 with respect to itself and not any other Loan Party.

(g) No Indemnified Party referred to in Section 9.04(b) shall be liable for any damage 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 set-off, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(a) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Banks and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement



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 and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents.

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 one or more of the Tranches (and any assignment of a Commitment or an Advance must be made to an Eligible Assignee that is capable of lending in the Committed Foreign Currencies related to such Commitment and Advance), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the Transfer Date) shall in no event be less than the Commitment Minimum under each Tranche or an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 in the case of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, $1,000,000 in the case of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche, $1,000,000 in the case of the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, $1,000,000 in the case of the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, IDR10,000,000 in the case of the IDR Revolving Credit Tranche, KRW1,000,000 in the case of the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche and the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche and the Equivalent of $1,000,000 in the case of any Supplemental Tranche (or, in each case, such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Operating Partnership), (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the 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 for such a case to be paid to the Administrative Agent the Processing Fee; provided further that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the Processing Fee in the case of any assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment will be made by any Lender to any Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this sentence and no assignment, transfer, sub-participation or subcontracting in relation to a drawing under this Agreement by a French Borrower may be effected to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. In the same way, no Lender having made an Advance under this Agreement to a French Borrower shall change its lending office for a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent),



to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swing Line Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participants in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(a), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(b) 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).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor hereunder and each assignee hereunder 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, any Co-Sustainability Structuring 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 incident 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.

(d) The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Borrowers shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and, with respect to Lender Parties, the Commitment under each Tranche of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing under each Tranche to, each Lender Party from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) 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 under each Tranche and any unfunded Commitment assumed by it under each Tranche pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained any portion of the outstanding Advances under a Tranche or any unfunded Commitment under a Tranche, 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.

(f) Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such assignment was an Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of an Issuing Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Letter of Credit Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the Minimum Letter of Credit Commitment and shall be in an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 in the case of the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility, $1,000,000 in the case of the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, A$1,000,000 in the case of the Australian Letter of Credit Facility, IDR10,000,000 in the case of the IDR Letter of Credit Facility, KRW1,000,000,000 in the case of the KRW-A Letter of Credit Facility and the KRW-B Letter of Credit Facility, and $51,000,000 in the case of the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with the Processing Fee, provided that such fee shall not be payable if the assigning Issuing Bank is making such assignment simultaneously with the assignment in its capacity as a Lender of all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment to the same Eligible Assignee.

(g) The assignee may, with respect to an assignment of rights by a Lender under this Agreement with respect to any French Borrower, if it considers it necessary to make such assignment effective as against any third party, arrange for the Assignment and Acceptance to be notified to such French Borrower by a bailiff (huissier) in accordance with article 1690 of the French Civil Code. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the non-compliance by the assignee with the provisions of this paragraph (g) affect the validity of transfer of rights and obligations or the validity of the assignment of rights as the case may be.

(h) Each Lender Party may sell participants to one or more Persons (other than any natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a 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, the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swing Line Lender; 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, the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that any agreement with respect to such participation may provide that such participant shall have a right to approve such amendment, waiver or consent to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and (vi) if, at the time of such sale, such Lender Party was entitled to payments under Section 2.12(a) or (e) in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term indemnified Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future 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 (c) 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 57.10-1(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.

(i) 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.

(j) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Banks and each other Lender hereunder (and intersect accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances relating to the applicable Tranche and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Applicable Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(i), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(k) (i) If a Lender changes its name it shall, at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the date of the name change, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in the jurisdiction where such Lender is incorporated, addressed to the Administrative Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent): (A) identifying the Lender which has changed its name, its new name, the date from which the change has taken effect; and (B) confirming that the Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations even after the change of name.

(ii) If a Lender is involved in a corporate reorganization or reconstruction, it shall at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the effective date of such corporate reorganization or reconstruction, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent: (A) an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in each of the jurisdictions where such Lender is incorporated and where the Lender's Applicable Lending Office is located; and (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 confirming that such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable as against the surviving entity after the corporate reorganization or reconstruction.



(iii) If a Lender fails to provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent any of the legal opinions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall upon the request of the Administrative Agent, sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, transferring all its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to the new entity.

(l) 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.

(m) 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 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.

(n) In order to comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), any Commitments, Advances or any Notes related thereto assigned to any assignee or any participations to any participant under this Section 9.07, as to which a Person domiciled in The Netherlands is a Borrower, shall be in each case in a principal amount of at least €100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currencies) per Lender or participant, as the case may be, or such other amount as may be required from time to time by the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (or implementing legislation), or if less, such assignee or participant shall confirm in writing to the Borrowers that it is a professional market party within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act.

SECTION 9.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, 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 or any other Loan Document by facsimile or by email (with the executed counterpart of the signature pages attached to the email in .pdf format or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable. Copies of originals, including copies delivered by facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic means, shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an electronic signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. Without limitation of the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such electronic signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such electronic signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any other party hereto (or to any other Loan Document) without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such electronic signature and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Each Loan Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party for any liabilities arising solely from such Person's reliance on or use of electronic signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any electronic signature.



SECTION 9.09. Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 9.10. Usury Not Indented. 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 therefore 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 authorize, 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 (each, a "Recipient") and between each other as such Recipient shall consider appropriate, and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants (including such Eligible Assignee or participant's Affiliates, Related Funds and professional advisors), 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 Party, 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 Party, 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 (except with respect to any Applicable Governmental Authority) 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) to the extent required for the purposes of establishing a "due diligence" defense or a defense against a claim that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, has breached its confidentiality obligations, (i) 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 (j) 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 (j), 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 such 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 transactions 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, Citibank shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate division from any of its other divisions or departments and, notwithstanding any of the Administrative Agent's disclosure obligations hereunder, any information received by any other division or department of Citibank may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to Citibank's agency division. Each Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to and subject to clauses (b) and (c) above.

For the purposes of the Personal Data Protection Act (2012) of Singapore, each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that it has read and understood the Customer Circular relating to the Personal Data Protection Act (for Corporate and Institutional Customers) (the "Privacy Circular"), which is available at www.citibank.com.sg/cpg/depar/circular or upon request, and which explains the purposes for which a Lender Party may collect, use, disclose and process (collectively, "process") personal data of natural persons. Each of the Loan Parties warrants that to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, it has provided notice to and obtained consent from relevant natural persons to allow the Lender Parties to process its personal data as described in the Privacy Circular as may be updated from time to time, prior to disclosure of such personal data to such Lender Party. Each of the Loan Parties further warrants that any such consent has been granted by these natural persons.

## 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-Corruption Laws 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-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required, to the extent that any Borrower 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 Lender to assist the Administrative Agent or Lender in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act and other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations including Sanctions and the Trading with the Enemy Act.



SECTION 9.14 Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Except to the extent set forth in clause (c) below, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each such party further agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Except to the extent set forth in clause (c) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) 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.

(c) Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any applicable law, each Loan Party not formed or incorporated in the United States: (i) appoints the Initial Process Agent (as defined below) as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the courts described in Section 9.14(a) in connection with the Loan Documents and (ii) agrees that failure by any Process Agent (as defined below) to notify any Loan Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. If any Person appointed as a Process Agent is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Borrowers shall immediately (and in any event within ten (10) days of such event taking place) appoint another process agent on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such replacement process agent and the Initial Process Agent, each a "Process Agent"). Failing this, the Administrative Agent may appoint another process agent for this purpose. "Initial Process Agent" means:

National Registered Agents, Inc.

28 Liberty Street,

New York, New York 10005

SECTION 9.15. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including but not limited to the validity, interpretation, construction, breach, enforcement or termination hereof and thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.16. Judgment Currency. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at Citibank N.A.'s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the "Relevant Currency") to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Relevant Currency with such other currency. If the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent



(as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to promptly remit to the applicable Loan Party such excess.

SECTION 9.17. Substitution of Currency: Changes in Market Practices. (a) If a change in any foreign currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrowers) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency (and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency) and to put the Lender Parties and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such foreign currency had occurred.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers) may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

SECTION 9.18. No Fiduciary Duties. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm's-length commercial transactions. Each Loan Party agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties 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 and subject to Section 5.01(j), 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 Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.21. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support" and each such QFC a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States.) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 9.21, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) "BHC Act Affiliate" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) "Covered Entity" means any of the following:

(iii) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);



(iv) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(v) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(vi) "Default Right" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(vii) "QFC" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 5390(c)(8)(D).

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. Once a Standby Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Standby Letter of Credit, provided that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if such Issuing Bank (A) has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Non-Renewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such renewal. Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the applicable Borrowers may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from draws thereunder pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date on which the Borrowers give notice of their election to extend the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.16, all references in this Section 2.01(b) to "10 Business Days before the Termination Date" shall be deemed to refer to 10 Business Days before the Termination Date that will apply following the effectiveness of such extension. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter or Credit, or any applicable law to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or (ii) such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any restriction, reserve or capital requirement with respect to such Letter of Credit (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it or (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any applicable laws or policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances; Applicable Borrowers. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03, each Borrowing including the initial Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not



later than the Notice of Borrowing Deadline by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall provide each relevant Lender with prompt notice thereof by email or facsimile. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a "Notice of Borrowing") shall be in writing and sent by email or facsimile, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) [reserved], (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (v) the initial Interest Period for each such Advance, (vi) [reserved] and (vii) the applicable Borrower or Borrowers proposing such Borrowing. If the Borrowers shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Revolving Credit Advance, an Interest Period of one month shall apply. Each Lender shall, before the Funding Deadline, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower by crediting the Borrower's Account.

(b) [reserved].

(c) [reserved].

(d) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Borrower may select TIBOR Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or if the obligation of the Lenders to make TIBOR Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07(d), Section 2.07(f), or Section 2.10 and (ii) there may not be more than 15 separate Interest Periods outstanding at any time. If the Interest Periods of two or more Eurocurrency Rate Advances end on the same date, those Eurocurrency Rate Advances will be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Eurocurrency Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period.

(e) 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.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 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.

(g) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date



of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(h) [Reserved].

(i) 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. The Administrative Agent shall give to the applicable Issuing Bank and each Lender prompt notice thereof by facsimile or email or by means of the Platform. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a "Notice of Issuance") shall be in writing by facsimile or email, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) [reserved], (iii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (v) the proposed Borrower, (vi) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (vii) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the applicable Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a "Letter of Credit Agreement"). Any application for a Letter of Credit may be made by any Borrower. If (y) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (z) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the applicable Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(a).

(b) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to each relevant Lender and the Operating Partnership on the last Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, each relevant Lender and the Operating Partnership on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(c) Drawing: Letter of Credit Purchase of Pro Rata Shares of Advances. The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall be a TIBOR Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. Upon written demand by (x) the Administrative Agent, with a copy of such demand to the applicable Issuing Bank or (y) any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall, as applicable, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each Lender (and with respect to any Existing Letter of Credit issued by an Existing Issuing Bank, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and assigned to each Lender, in each case on the Effective Date), such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Lender. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. The Borrowers hereby agree to each such sale and assignment. Each Lender agrees to purchase



its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance (i) no later than three Business Days after the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the applicable Issuing Bank, provided that, in each case, notice of such demand is given not later than the L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding the funding date set forth in the applicable notice of demand if such notice of such demand is given after any L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline. 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.

(d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

(e) Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding that such Defaulting Lender may be required to fund on hereunder, the applicable Issuing Bank may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21), by notice to the Borrowers and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unrealized allocations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be prepaid  \( \rho \)  ratio 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.

## (f) [Reserved].

(g) ISP or UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices (the "ISP") shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance ("UCP", and each of the UCP and the ISP, an "ICC Rule"), shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank's privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein and pursuant to applicable laws governing the Letter of Credit. The UCP and the ISP (or such later revision of either) shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of general banking usage with respect to the subject matter thereof.



(b) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(i) Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(j) 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 as primary obligors to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit and irrevocably waive any defenses that might otherwise be available to them as guarantors or sureties of obligations of such Subsidiary to the extent described and waived in Section 7.02, mutatis mutandis. 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. To the extent that any Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of a Borrower which is not a Guarantor, such Borrower agrees that (i) such Subsidiary shall have no rights against any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, (ii) such Borrower shall be responsible for the obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit under this Agreement and any application or reimbursement agreement, (iii) such Borrower shall have sole right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to this Agreement and such Letter of Credit, and the disposition of documents related thereto, and (iv) such Borrower shall have all powers and rights in respect of any security arising in connection with the Letter of Credit and the transaction related thereto.

SECTION 2.04. Repayment of Advances; Reimbursements. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank and each other Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the Business Day immediately succeeding the day on which such Letter of Credit Advance was made the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers may, at their election, repay Letter of Credit Advances with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Advances that are advanced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (and the obligations of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing 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;

(F) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guarantees 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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) The Borrowers assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrowers shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrowers that the Borrowers prove were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, 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.

(b) 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 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.

(c) 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).

(b) 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.

(ii) 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 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.

(iii) 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 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 (together with any interest earned thereon) shall be returned to the Borrowers.

(iv) 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; provided, however, that during each Rollover Interest Period for the applicable Rollover Borrowing, the TIBOR Rate and the Applicable Margin with respect to such Rollover Borrowing shall be as specified on Schedule V hereto.

(ii) Eurocurrency Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, 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; provided, however, that during each Rollover Interest Period for the applicable Rollover Borrowing, the Eurocurrency Rate and the Applicable Margin with respect to such Rollover Borrowing shall be as specified on Schedule V hereto.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Advance that is prepaid on the same day that it was made shall accrue interest for such day.

(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 applicable 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 (i) 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) Market Disruption Events. Subject to Section 2.07(f), if a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any TIBOR Rate Advances for any applicable Interest Period, (i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such TIBOR Rate Advances, (ii) after the last day of the then existing Interest Period, the interest rate on each Lender's share of such Advances shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of (I) the weighted average (based on each Lender's share of such TIBOR Rate Advance) of the rates 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 respective share of such Advances from whatever source it may reasonably select plus (II) the Applicable Margin, and (iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make or to Convert Advances into TIBOR 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 TIBOR Rate Advances.

(e) 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 Advance 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(e) shall be without duplication of any other component of interest payable by the Borrowers hereunder.

## (f) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a "Loan Document" for purposes of this Section 2.07(f)):

(i) Replacing Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any such Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such



Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of any current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator or the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and will not be restored, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances referencing such Benchmark shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected amounts or Interest Periods (as applicable)) and any outstanding loans in such currency shall immediately or, in the case of a term rate at the end of the applicable Interest Period, be prepaid in full.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of any Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Borrowers) to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting" may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrowers or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting".

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate, then the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers) may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(v) Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (A) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (B) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services



in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender Party or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

## (vi) Certain Defined Terms.

As used in this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting".

"Available Tenor" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to any then-current Benchmark for any currency, as applicable, (x) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

"Benchmark" means, initially, TIBOR; provided, however, that if a replacement of an initial or subsequent Benchmark has occurred pursuant to this Section titled "Benchmark Replacement Setting", then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate. Any reference to "Benchmark" shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

"Benchmark Replacement" means, for any Available Tenor, the sum of (i) the alternate benchmark rate and (ii) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers as the replacement for such Available Tenor of such Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Government Body, for syndicated credit facilities at such time denominated in the applicable currency in the U.S. syndicated loan market; provided, however, that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to this definition would be less than the applicable Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the applicable Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

"Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes" means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of "Business Day," the definition of "Interest Period," timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakeback provisions, the formula for calculating any successor rates identified pursuant to the definition of "Benchmark Replacement", the formula, methodology or convention for applying the successor Floor to the successor Benchmark Replacement and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrowers) may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

"Benchmark Transition Event" means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events: a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of any then-current Benchmark, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the central bank for the currency applicable to such Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark or a



court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark, announcing or stating that (a) such administrator has ceased or will cease on a specified date to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark or (b) all Available Tenors of such Benchmark are or will no longer be representative and that representativeness will not be restored.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means (1) the Bank of Japan or any central bank or other supervisor which is responsible for supervising either (A) such Benchmark Replacement or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement or (2) any working group or committee officially endorsed or convened by (A) Bank of Japan, (B) any central bank or other supervisor that is responsible for supervising either (i) such Benchmark Replacement or (ii) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement, (C) a group of those central banks or other supervisors or (D) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof.

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.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees, Etc. (i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commission (the "Letter of Credit Fee") in Yen, payable in arrears, (A) quarterly on the last day of each December, March, June and September, commencing December 31, 2021, (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 Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for TI8OR Rate Advances in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Margin for purposes of this Section 2.08(b)(i)shall take into account any applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 0.125% of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, payable on such date and (B) such other customary commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank shall agree.

(c) Administrative Agent's Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the fees, in the amounts and on the dates, set forth in the Fee Letter and such other fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Extension Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on each Extension Date, for the account of each Lender, a Facility extension fee, in an amount equal to 0.0625% of each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment then outstanding (whether funded or unfunded).



(e) Defaulting Lenders and Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.08(a) 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.

(f) Japan Usury Savings. With respect to a Borrower that is doing business in Japan (excluding a TMK or an entity prescribed in Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Act on Specified Commitment Line Contract of Japan (Law No.4 of 1999, as amended)), such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the fees set forth in this Section 2.08 to the extent (but only to the extent) such payment would violate any applicable usury laws of Japan.

## 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's failure or inability of any law or regulation or the terms of any Loan Document), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office 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.

(b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, within 10 Business Days after



demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; 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.

(c) 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 Advances 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 Advances from whatever source it may reasonably select plus (2) the Applicable Margin, in each case until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to 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 to continue to perform its obligations to continue to make, 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 continue to make, fund or maintain 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, fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.



(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party's right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Operating Partnership of the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender Party's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(f) If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), (iii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(d) 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 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 2.12), 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. In respect of any assignment pursuant to Section 9.07, the effective date of which, in each case, is not on the last day of an Interest Period (A) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant assigned interest in the Facility that are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favor of the assignor Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (the "Accrued Amounts") and shall become due and payable to the assignor Lender without further interest accruing on them on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six calendar months, on the next of the dates which falls at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period) and (B) the rights assigned or transferred by the assignor Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt: (1) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the assignor Lender and (2) the amount payable to the assignee Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Section 2.11(a), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

## (b) [Reserved].

(c) 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 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.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount.

(f) To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by any Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or 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; provided further that the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and hold the Administrative Agent



and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.11(f) save to the extent that it is found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, cost or expense resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties in the order of priority set forth below in this Section 2.11(g). Payments to the Lenders shall be in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions. 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;

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 in 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(c), 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, treaty or convention among Applicable Governmental Authorities 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.



(b) [Reserved].

(c) [Reserved].

(d) 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 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.

(e) 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.

(f) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to any governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) (i) Any Lender Party (which, for purposes of this Section 2.12(g) shall include the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. 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.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) any Lender Party that is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender Party becomes a Lender Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) each Lender Party that is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) (each, a "Foreign Lender") shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, 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 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 147(h) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender Party has complied with such Lender Party's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this subsection (g), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.



(iii) Each Lender Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes.

(h) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, (x) be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party or (y) subject such Lender Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense.

(i) If any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by any Borrower or for which the Borrowers have indemnified any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any reasonable expenses incurred by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrowers shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall have any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by the Borrowers.

(j) To the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, the Administrative Agent shall (i) act as the withholding agent with respect to the Facility, 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 Facility. 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.

(k) For purposes of this Section 2.12 (except for purposes of the first sentence of paragraph (i)), references to the Administrative Agent shall include any Affiliate or sub-agent of the Administrative Agent, in each case performing any duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. Each, 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 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (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 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 working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries. The Borrowers will not directly or knowingly indirectly use the Letters of Credit or the proceeds of the Advances, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person such extensions of credit or proceeds, (A) to fund any activities or businesses of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions, or (B) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Facility, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise) or any Anti-Corruption Laws.

SECTION 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder. The Borrowers agree that upon notice by any Lender Party to any Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the applicable Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender Party. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Note shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) may include a control account and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party. In each account with respect to each Lender Party (including the control account and subsidiary account, if applicable) there shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period or tenor 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.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall



be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Advances will be treated as in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code).

SECTION 2.16. Extension of Termination Date. The Borrowers may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date, a six-month extension of the Termination Date with respect to the Commitments then outstanding and (ii) thereafter, an additional six-month extension provided at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date (as extended pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence) (each, an "Extension Request"). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Extension Request and the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date (as defined below), be extended for an additional six-month period, provided that, on such Extension Date (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.08(d) and (b) the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the applicable Extension Date, stating that: (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (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 Extension Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate in all material respects or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date)), and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension. "Extension Date" means, in the case of each extension option, the first date after the delivery by the Borrowers of the related Extension Request that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied. In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on the Termination Date as so extended. As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the "Termination Date" shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended.

SECTION 2.17. Cash Collateral Account. (a) Grant of Security. The Borrowers hereby pledge to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, the Borrowers' right, title and interest in and to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all (i) funds and financial assets from time to time credited thereto (including, without limitation, all Cash Equivalents), all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds and financial assets, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C Cash Collateral Account, (ii) and all promissory notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for or on behalf of the Borrowers, in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral and (iii) all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral, in each of the cases set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising other than assets located or deemed to be located in Luxembourg (all of the foregoing, collectively, the "L/C Account Collateral"); provided, however, that for so long as a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from pledging its assets for the benefit of another Person, any pledge from a Borrower that is a TMK shall solely secure its own obligations hereunder and not the obligation of any other Borrower.



(b) Maintaining the L/C Account Collateral. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:

(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.

(c) Investing of Amounts in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent will, from time to time invest (i)(A) amounts received with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account as the Borrowers may select and the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, may approve in its reasonable discretion, and (B) interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (i)(A) above, and (ii) reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account.

(d) Release of Amounts. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent will pay and release to any Borrower or at its order or, at the request of any Borrower, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.

(e) Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies available pursuant to Article VI hereof and under the other Loan Documents, (i) the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the L/C Account Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected L/C Account Collateral), and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrowers, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents against any funds held with respect to the L/C Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

SECTION 2.18. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrowers may, at any time by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by not less than the Increase Minimum in the aggregate (each such proposed increase, a "Commitment Increase") to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the "Increase Date") as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments increased pursuant to this Section 2.18 exceed ¥93,285,000,000 on any Increase Date 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.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees as are designated by the Borrowers of each request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amounts of the Commitment Increase, (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. 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 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).

(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders and Eligible Assignees are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of the Commitment Increase Minimum or an integral multiple in excess thereof of 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.

(d) On each Increase Date, (x) each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(b) (an "Acceding Lender") shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and such Acceding Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (y) the 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 provide reasonable prior notice to the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Acceding Lender) and the Borrowers, by email or facsimile, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Acceding Lender on such date.

(e) On the Increase Date, to the extent the Advances then outstanding and owed to any Lender 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 of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the applicable Increase Funding Deadline on the Increase Date or the Business Day immediately prior to the Increase Date, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Increase Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.

(f) If in connection with the transactions described in this Section 2.18 any Lender shall incur any losses, costs or expenses of the type described in Section 9.04(c), then the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for such losses, costs or expenses reasonably incurred.

SECTION 2.19. 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 LC Cash Collateral Account for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any applicable Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Operating Partnership may request to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply any such amount in accordance with Section 2.11(g).

(b) If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lender Parties 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; 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.

SECTION 2.22. Reallocation of Lender Pro Rata Shares: No Novation. On the Effective Date, the Advances made under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been made under this Agreement, without the execution by the Borrowers or the Lender Parties of any other documentation, and all such Advances currently outstanding shall be deemed to have been simultaneously reallocated among the Lenders as follows:

(a) On the Effective Date, each Lender that will have a greater Pro Rata Share of the Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a "Purchasing Lender"), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased assignments pro rata from each Lender that will have a smaller Pro Rata Share of the Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) of the Facility (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a "Selling Lender") in all such Selling Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender (collectively, the "Assigned Rights and Obligations") so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Commitment as set forth in Schedule I hereto and a corresponding Pro Rata Share of all Advances then outstanding under the Facility. Each such purchase hereunder shall be at par for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the loans and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each Selling Lender shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each Purchasing Lender that the Assigned



Rights and Obligations of such Selling Lender are not subject to any Liens created by that Selling Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount of each Lender's Revolving Credit Advances outstanding at any time exceed its Commitment as set forth in Schedule I hereto.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid or received by each Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Effective Date. Each Lender required to make a payment pursuant to this Section shall make the net amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Effective Date the proceeds of such amounts to the Lenders entitled to receive payments pursuant to this Section, pro rata in proportion to the amount each such Lender is entitled to receive at the primary address set forth in Schedule I hereto or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a discharge, extinguishment or novation of the Obligations of the Loan Parties outstanding under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement or any instruments securing the same, which Obligations shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the date hereof as “Revolving Credit Advances” except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently with this Agreement.

## SECTION 2.23. Sustainability Adjustments.

(a) Following the date on which the Operating Partnership provides a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent as provided herein in respect of its then most recently ended Annual Period, (i) the Applicable Margin for purposes of calculating interest on the Advances shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate and (ii) the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) each of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(c) based upon the Certified Capacity set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment calculations, as applicable, therein (such Business Day, the "Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date") and (B) each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate or the delivery of an incomplete Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(c)).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Annual Period, and the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee will not be reduced or increased pursuant to this Section 2.23 by more than 3.0 basis points (such limit, the "Maximum Margin Adjustment"), and the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee will never be reduced or increased by more than 2.0 basis points, in each case pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment, as applicable, in respect of any Annual Period (such limit, the "Maximum Unused Fee Adjustment"). For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and/or the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee by reason of meeting the Certified Capacity in any year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.

(c) If no such Pricing Certificate is delivered by the Operating Partnership (or any Pricing Certificate shall be incomplete) within the period set forth in Section 5.03(c), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 3.0 basis points and the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment will be positive 2.0 basis points commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms



(d) If (i)(A) any of the Operating Partnership or the Required Lenders become aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity as reported on the applicable Pricing Certificate as certified by the KPI Metric Auditor (a "Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy") and not later than ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, the Required Lenders or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail including, to the extent applicable, calculations supporting such material inaccuracy (who shall furnish a copy to each of the Lenders and the Operating Partnership) or (B) the Operating Partnership and the Required Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of the relevant Pricing Certificate, (i) the KPI Metric Auditor confirms in writing that there was in fact a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee for such period, then the Operating Partnership shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Operating Partnership under any Bankruptcy Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Operating Partnership has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to: the excess of (x) the amount of interest and fees that would have been payable for such period at the rate giving effect to the proper Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or Sustainability Margin Adjustment, as applicable over (y) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period (the "True-Up Amount"). If the Operating Partnership becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee for such period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Operating Partnership of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity, as applicable), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for purpose of calculating interest on the Unused Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity, as applicable.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, in and of itself, shall constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Operating Partnership under any Bankruptcy Law, (i) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (d) above shall not be due and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection (d) above, (ii) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to such demand for payment by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and (iii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such a demand or shall accrue interest at the rate specified in Section 2.07(b) prior to such a demand. In the event the Operating Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Section 2.23, the Lenders' sole recourse with respect to such non-compliance shall be limited to the True-Up Amount.

(f) None of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender Party shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Operating Partnership of any Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or any Sustainability Margin Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any KPI Metric Report or Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

Preserve and maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain, its existence (corporate or otherwise), legal structure, legal name, rights (charter and statutory), permits, licenses, approvals, privileges and franchises, except, in the case of Subsidiaries of the Borrowers only, if in the reasonable business judgment of such Subsidiary it is in its best economic interest not to preserve and maintain such rights or franchises and such failure to preserve such rights or franchises is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that the foregoing shall not prohibit, or be violated as a result of, any transactions by or involving any Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof otherwise permitted under Section 5.02(b) or (c) below).

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.

(b) 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 and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and



each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

(d) The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several.

The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of this Agreement or the other the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether any Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions.

(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);

This Guaranity shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(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 acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(e) 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.

(b) Prohibited Payments, Etc. 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.

(c) 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 Interests")) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(d) 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 Interests), 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.

(e) Administrative Agent Authorization. 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), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to do so), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interests), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interests).

Any such Guarantor shall promptly take, and procure that its relevant holding companies take, all steps necessary under s260B of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)(Australia) so as to permit the inclusion of any liability or obligation excluded under the previous sentence.

(b) Belgium: The obligations under this Article VII of each Guarantor incorporated and existing under Belgian law (i) shall not include any liability which would constitute unlawful financial assistance (as determined in article 329/430/629 of the Belgian Companies Code); and (ii) shall be



limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greater of (A) 90% of such Guarantor's net assets (as defined in article 320/429/617 of the Belgian Companies Code) as shown in its most recent audited annual financial statements as approved at its meeting of shareholders, and (B) the aggregate of the amounts made available to such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (if any) indirectly through one or more other Loan Parties through intercompany loans (increased by all interests, commissions, costs, fees, expenses and other sums accruing or payable in connection with such amount), with, for the avoidance of doubt, the exclusion of any obligations of such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries under the Facility in its capacity as a Borrower.

(i) that such Guarantor is or, after giving the financial assistance, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

(ii) that the realizable value of such Guarantor's assets, excluding the amount of any financial assistance in the form of a loan or in the form of assets pledged or encumbered to secure the Guaranty, after giving the financial assistance, would be less than the aggregate of such Guarantor's liabilities and stated capital of all classes.

## (d) [Reserved].

(e) Scotland, England and Wales: The liability of each Guarantor, which is a public limited company, (and each Guarantor that is a subsidiary of a public limited company) incorporated under the laws of Scotland or England and Wales 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 sections 677 to 683 of the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not be applicable to any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Scotland or England and Wales that is not a public limited company or the subsidiary of a company that is a public limited company.

(f) France: (i) The liability of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of France (a "French Guarantor") under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of Article L.225-216 of the French Code de Commerce or/and would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of Article L.241-3, L.242-6 or L.244-1 of the French Code de Commerce or any other law or regulation having the same effect, as interpreted by the French courts.

(ii) The Guaranteed Obligations of each French Guarantor under this Article VII shall be limited at any time to an amount equal to the aggregate of all Advances to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent to such French Guarantor under an intercompany loan agreement (each a "Qualified French Intercompany Loan") and outstanding at the date a payment is made by such French Guarantor under this Article VII, it being specified that any payment made by such French Guarantor under this Article VII in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the applicable Qualified French Intercompany Loan (if any) due by such French Guarantor.

(iii) It is acknowledged that such French Guarantor is not acting jointly and severally with the other Guarantors as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee given pursuant to this Article VII.



(g) Germany: (i) The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor incorporated or established and existing as a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) (each, a "German GmbH Guarantor"), shall be subject to the following limitations. To the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations include liabilities of such German GmbH Guarantor's direct or indirect shareholder(s) (each, an "Up-stream Guaranty") or its affiliate companies (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than Subsidiaries of that German GmbH Guarantor) (each, a "Cross-stream Guaranty") (save for any guarantee of funds to the extent they (x) are on-rent and/or (y) replace or refinance funds which were on-rent in each case to that German GmbH Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-rent is not returned), the guaranty created under this Article VII shall not be enforced against such German GmbH Guarantor at the time of the respective Payment Demand (as defined below) if and only to the extent that the German GmbH Guarantor demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the enforcement would have the effect of: (1) causing such German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets (as defined below) to be reduced below zero, or (2) if its Net Assets are already below zero, causing such amount to be further reduced, and thereby, in each case, affecting its assets required for the maintenance of its stated share capital (geziechnetes Kapital) pursuant to Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, "GmbHGF"), as applicable at the time of enforcement. No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Article VII will prejudice the rights of the Administrative Agent to again enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII at a later time under this Agreement (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such further enforcement). "Net Assets" means the applicable German GmbH Guarantor's assets (section 266 sub-section (2) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) ("HGB")) minus the aggregate of its liabilities (section 266 sub-section (3) B, C HGB (but disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, any provisions in respect of the guaranty created under this Article VII), accruals and deferred tax (section 266 subsection (3) D, E HGB), its stated share capital (geziechnetes Kapital) (section 266 subsection (3)(A) HGB) and any amounts not available for distribution according to Section 268 subsection (8) HGB. The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss) according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years, but for the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows: (x) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des geziechneten Kapitals) after the date of this Agreement shall be deducted from the stated share capital unless permitted under the Loan Documents or approved by the Administrative Agent); (y) loans received by, and other contractual liabilities of, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor which are subordinated within the meaning of section 39 subsection 1 no. 5 or section 39 subsection 2 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (contractually or by law) shall be disregarded; and (z) loans and other contractual liabilities incurred by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be disregarded.

(ii) The limitations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) only apply if within 15 Business Days after receipt from the Administrative Agent of a notice stating that the Administrative Agent intends to demand payment under this Article VII against the applicable German GmbH Guarantor (each, a "Payment Demand"), the managing director(s) of such German GmbH Guarantor has (have) confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) why and to what extent the guarantee is an Up-stream Guaranty or a Cross-stream Guaranty and (B) which amount of such Up-stream Guaranty or Cross-stream Guaranty, as applicable, may not be enforced given that the applicable German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets are below zero or such enforcement would cause such German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets to be reduced below zero, as a result of which such enforcement would lead to a violation of the capital maintenance rules as set out in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation



an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation of the amount of such German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the "Management Determination"). Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above, and the Administrative Agent may enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause such German GmbH Guarantor's Net Assets to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero. Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Management Determination, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent upon request within 30 Business Days an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, prepared by an auditor of international reputation appointed by such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the "Auditor's Determination"). Such balance sheet and Auditor's Determination shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss) according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years. Each Auditor's Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the enforcement of this Article VII. Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Auditor's Determination, not cause the Net Assets of the German GmbH Guarantor to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.

(iii) Each German GmbH Guarantor shall, within 60 Business Days after receipt of a Payment Demand, realize, unless not legally permitted to do so, any and all of its assets (other than assets that are necessary for the business (herabschonwendung) of such German GmbH Guarantor) that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially (i.e., at least 20%) lower than the market value of the assets if, as a result of the enforcement of the guaranty created under this Article VII against such German GmbH Guarantor, its Net Assets would be reduced below zero. After the expiry of such 60 Business Day period, such German GmbH Guarantor shall, within five Business Days, notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of the proceeds obtained from the realization and submit a statement setting forth a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account such proceeds. Such calculation shall, upon the Administrative Agent's reasonable request, be confirmed by the auditors referred to in Section 7.09(g)(ii) within a period of 20 Business Days following the applicable request. If the Administrative Agent disagrees with any Auditor's Determination or the new calculation referred to in this Section 7.09(g)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to pursue in court a claim under this Article VII in excess of the amounts paid or payable pursuant to the provisions above, for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that the relevant German GmbH Guarantor shall not be obligated to pay any such excessive amounts on demand.

(iv) The restrictions set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) shall only apply if, to the extent and for so long as (A) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor has complied with its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.09(g)(ii) and (iii), (B) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor is not a party to a profit and loss sharing agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) and/or a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) (within the meaning of Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)) where such German GmbH Guarantor is the dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) and/or the entity being obliged to share its profits with the other party of such profit and loss sharing agreement other than to the extent that the existence of such a profit and loss sharing agreement and/or domination agreement does not



result in the inapplicability of the relevant restrictions set forth in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and (C) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor does, at the time when a payment is made under this Article VII, not hold a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (voluntary Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) (within the meaning of section 30 (1) sentence 2 GmbHG) against the relevant shareholder covering at least the relevant amount payable under this Article VII.

(v) Sections 7.09(g)(i) through (iv) shall apply mutatis mutandis to a Guarantor organized and existing as a limited liability partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft – KG) with a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) as its sole general partner, provided that in such case and for the purpose of this Article VII, any reference to such Guarantor's net assets (Reinvermögen) shall be deemed to be a reference to the net assets (Reinvermögen) of such Guarantor and its general partner (Komplementär) on a pro forma consolidated basis.

(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).

(j) Luxembourg: Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Borrower having its registered office and/or central administration in Luxembourg for the Obligations of any entity which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor or Borrower (where “direct or indirect subsidiary” shall mean any company the majority of share capital of which is owned by such Guarantor, whether directly or indirectly, through other entities) shall be limited to the aggregate of 90% of the net assets of such Guarantor or Borrower, where the net assets means the shareholders’ equity (capital x process, as referred to in Article 34 of the Luxembourg law of 19 December 2002 on the commercial register and annual accounts, as amended) of such Guarantor or Borrower as shown in (i) the latest interim financial statements available, as approved by the shareholders of such Luxembourg Guarantor or Borrower and existing at the date of the relevant payment under this Article VII, or, if not available, (ii) the latest annual financial statements (comptes annuels) available at the date of such relevant payment, as approved by the shareholders of such Guarantor or Borrower, as audited by its statutory auditor or its external auditor (réviseur d’entreprise), if required by applicable law; provided, however, that this limitation shall not take into account any amounts such Guarantor or Borrower has directly or indirectly benefited from and made available as a result of the Loan Documents. The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Borrower (other than its own Obligations arising due to the sums borrowed by such Borrower) having its registered office and/or central administration in Luxembourg shall not include any obligation which, if incurred, would constitute (A) a misuse of corporate assets or (B) financial assistance.

(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. For the purposes of this Article VII, a reference to the “group” of a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain shall mean such Guarantor and any other companies constituting a unity of decision.

(iii) Each Swiss Guarantor shall, and any holding company of a Swiss Guarantor which is a party to any Loan Document shall procure that each Swiss Guarantor will, take and cause to be taken all and any action, including, without limitation, (A) the passing of any shareholders' resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and (B) the obtaining of any confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time the respective Swiss Guarantor



is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in order to allow a prompt payment of amounts owing by the Swiss Guarantor under the Loan Documents as well as the performance by the Swiss Guarantor of other obligations under the Loan Documents with a minimum of limitations.

(iv) If the enforcement of the obligations of a Swiss Guarantor under the Loan Documents would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 7.09(n), the Swiss Guarantor affected shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale; however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor's business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).

(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 16.1e and 16.1f 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 (aktivwa) 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 (aktivwa) of the Polish Guarantor. The term "liabilities" shall at all times exclude the Polish Guarantor's liabilities under this Article VII, but shall include any other obligations (secured and unsecured) of the Polish Guarantor, including any other off-balance sheet obligations of the Polish Guarantor.

(ii) The limitation stipulated in Section 7.09(p)(i) above shall not apply if:

(A) Polish law is amended in such a manner that (1) a debtor whose liabilities exceed the value of its assets is no longer deemed insolvent (niewypłacalny) as provided for in Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted for time to time) or that (2) the insolvency (niewypłacalność) of a debtor within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted from time to time) no longer gives grounds for an immediate declaration of its bankruptcy (ogłoszenie upadłości) or no longer obliges the representatives of the Polish Guarantor to immediately file for the declaration of its bankruptcy; or

(B) the aggregate value of the liabilities of the Polish Guarantor (other than those under this Article VII) exceeds the aggregate value of the assets of such Polish Guarantor, thus resulting in the Polish Guarantor's insolvency within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law.

(iii) The obligations under this Article VII of any Polish Guarantor that is a limited liability company ("sp. z.o.o.") shall be limited if (and only if) and to the extent required by the application of the provisions of the Polish Commercial Companies Code aimed at preservation of share capital. In addition, the obligations under this Article VII of any Polish Guarantor that



is a joint stock company (S.A.) shall be limited if (and only if) and to the extent required by the application of the provisions of Article 345 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code which prohibits unlawful financial assistance.

(r) The Kingdom of Sweden: No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 7 (or its equivalent from time to time) of the Swedish Companies Act or unlawful distribution of assets pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 2 (or its equivalent from time to time) of the Swedish Companies Act.

(s) The Republic of Finland: No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Finland or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Finland shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would be prohibited by the Finnish Companies Act (osakeyhtiölaki, 624/2006), as amended.

(t) The Kingdom of Denmark: Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the guarantee, indemnity and other obligations (as well as any security created in relation thereto) of any Guarantor incorporated in Denmark (a "Danish Guarantor") and such Danish Guarantor's Subsidiaries in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall (i) be deemed not to be incurred (and any security created in relation thereto shall be limited) to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance, including without limitation within the meaning of Sections 206 and 210 of the Danish Companies Act, as amended and supplemented from time to time; and (ii) in relation to obligations not incurred as a result of borrowings under this Agreement by the Danish Guarantor or by a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Danish Guarantor further be limited to an amount equivalent to the higher of: (A) the Equity of such Danish Guarantor at the times (1) the Danish Guarantor is requested to make a payment under this Article VII or (2) of enforcement of security granted by such Danish Guarantor, as applicable; and (B) the Equity of such Danish Guarantor at the closing Date. For the purposes of this Section 7.09(f), "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, and (b) 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(f) 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 Addresses 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, documentation agent, sustainability structuring 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 certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any



statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent's reliance on any electronic signature delivered pursuant to Section 9.08); (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, email 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), 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, the Sustainability Structuring 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 acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring 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.

(b) 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.

(c) 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. Without prejudice to



the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.06. Successor Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrowers and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders, provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it (or its Affiliate) has been replaced as an Issuing Bank and 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.

SECTION 8.07. Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement.

(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).

## SECTION 8.08. Payments in Error.

(a) (i) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender Party or any other Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party (any such Lender Party or other recipient and each of their respective successors and assigns, a "Payment Recipient") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not such error or mistake is known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment") and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.08 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any other Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.



(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), if any Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Payment Recipient shall (and shall cause any other Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 8.08(a) or on whether or not an Eroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender Party and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Eroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Eroneous Payment (or portion thereof) and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Eroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf (such unrecovered amount, an "Eroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Administrative Agent's notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Tranche with respect to which such Eroneous Payment was made (the "Eroneous Payment Imputed Tranche") in an amount equal to the Eroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Eroneous Payment Imputed Tranche, the "Eroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to have executed and delivered an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to any Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Eroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall be deemed to have acquired the Eroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall become a Lender



hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 9.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender Party or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights") (provided that the Loan Parties' Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, provided that this Section 8.08 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided further that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.



(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, no Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 8.08 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 8.08(d) above); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the terms of Section 7.06 (but for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, if a Loan Party has paid principal, interest or any other amounts owed to a Secured Party, Section 7.06 shall not require any such Loan Party to pay additional amounts that are by way of Section 7.06, effectively duplicative of such previously paid amounts).

SECTION 8.09. Sustainability. It is understood and agreed that neither the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor the Administrative Agent make any assurances as to (a) whether this Agreement meets any Operating Partnership, Parent Guarantor, Borrower or Lender criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, or (b) whether the characteristics of the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators included in this Agreement, including any environmental and sustainability criteria or any competitiveness methodology with respect thereto, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities. It is further understood and agreed that neither the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor or any Borrower of (i) the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators or (ii) any adjustment to the Applicable Margin (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any notice regarding the satisfaction of the Sustainability Metric Percentage for any Fiscal Year (and the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such notice, without further inquiry, when implementing any such pricing adjustment).

(a) Subject to the proviso below, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (other than a Guaranteed Hedge Agreement), nor any consent to a departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall, in any event, be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders or, where indicated below, all affected Lenders in addition to the Required Lenders, do any of the following at any time: (i) change the number of Lenders or the percentage of (x) the Commitments, (y) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances or (z) the aggregate Available Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit that, in each case, shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to make any determinations, waive any rights, modify any provision or take any action hereunder, (ii) release any Borrower with respect to the Obligations (other than any Obligations in respect of any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement and except to the extent contemplated in Section 9.19), (iii) reduce or limit the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under Article VII or release the Parent Guarantor or otherwise limit the Parent Guarantor's liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Obligations with respect to any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement and except as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents), (iv) other than any Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement and except as otherwise contemplated in Section 5.01(j), release any Guaranty that constitutes a material portion of the value of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding any release of the Guaranty provided by the Parent Guarantor which shall be governed by clause (iii) above), (v) amend Section 2.13, Section 2.05(a) (only with respect to the requirement in such Section that any election to terminate or reduce outstanding Commitments must be done ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments), or this Section 9.01, (vi) increase the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligations (except, in each case, to the extent contemplated in Section 2.18) without the consent of such Lender, (vii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances of any Lender (other than any Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement and except to the extent of any reduction resulting from a reallocation effected pursuant to Section 2.21(a)), or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to any Lender (other than as provided in Section 2.07(d) or (f)), in each case without the consent of such Lender (except as provided in Section 2.23),



(viii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to any Lender in each case without the consent of such Lender (other than as provided in Section 2.07(d) or (f), (ix) extend the Termination Date without the consent of each affected Lender, other than as provided by Section 2.16 or 9.01(c), (x) [reserved], (xi) [reserved], or (xi) amend clause (iv) or clause (v) of Section 5.01(p) without the consent of each affected Lender; provided further that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Issuing Bank, in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement; (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, amend, waive or consent to any departure from, the provisions of Section 2.07(f) or the defined terms herein pertaining to the establishment, replacement or computation of any interest rate or interest rate margin applicable to any Obligations hereunder (except, in each case, in accordance with Sections 2.07(d), 2.07(f) and 9.01(f)). In addition, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in any of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such this Agreement and/or the applicable Loan Document without any further action or consent of any other party if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

(b) In the event that any Lender (a "Non-Contesting 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-Contesting 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-Contesting 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-Contesting Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Non-Contesting Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07, however the Non-Contesting 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-Contesting 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-Contesting Lender by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by the Non-Contesting Lender.

(c) 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 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 Advance 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.

(d) 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.

(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) 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 and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend the provisions of Section 9.02 with respect to notices that either the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may deliver to each other but not with respect to notices to be delivered to any other Lender Party.

(f) If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.01(a) and any Lender shall fail to respond to such consent request (which response must include any information as may have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent from such Lender in connection with such consent request) within the earlier of (x) the applicable time period specified for the granting or withholding of such consent pursuant to the Loan Documents, if any, and (y) ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such request, then the Lender that has failed to respond shall be deemed to have consented to such request.

(g) 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 Global 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 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.

SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto (subject to the terms

(b) Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Indemnified Parties, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties)) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (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. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated. Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. This Section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.10(d) or 2.18(e),



acceleration of the maturity of the Advances or the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if any Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance. A certificate as to any amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) shall be submitted to the Borrowers by the applicable Lender Party and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error.

(d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9.04, for so long as a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from guaranteeing or being liable for the obligations of any other Person, a TMK that is a Borrower shall be liable only for obligations under this Section 9.04 with respect to itself and not any other Loan Party.

(g) 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 set-off, (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 and the Sustainability Structuring Agent.

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 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 participation 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, in the case of any such payment, the amount of such payment) 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 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.

(b) 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).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor hereunder and each assignee hereunder 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, the Sustainability Structuring 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.

(f) 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.

(g) [reserved].
(h) Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a 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, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Issuing Bank; 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, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that any agreement with respect to such participation may provide that such participant shall have a right to approve such amendment, waiver or consent to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and (vi) if, at the time of such sale, such Lender Party was entitled to payments under Section 2.12(a) or (e) in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Indemnified Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future 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 5.1(3)-(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.

(i) 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 Section 9.07(i), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(k) (i) If a Lender changes its name it shall, at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the date of the name change, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in the jurisdiction where such Lender is incorporated, addressed to the Administrative Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent): (A) identifying the Lender which has changed its name, its new name, the date from which the change has taken effect; and (B) confirming that the Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations even after the change of name.

(ii) If a Lender is involved in a corporate reorganization or reconstruction, it shall at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the effective date of such corporate reorganization or reconstruction, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent: (A) an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in each of the jurisdictions where such Lender is incorporated and where the Lender's Applicable Lending Office is located; and (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 confirming that such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable as against the surviving entity after the corporate reorganization or reconstruction.



(iii) If a Lender fails to provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent any of the legal opinions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall upon the request of the Administrative Agent, sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, transferring all its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to the new entity.

(l) 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.

(m) 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 and each other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, 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 or any other Loan Document by facsimile or by email (with the executed counterpart of the signature pages attached to the email in .pdf format or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable. Copies of originals, including copies delivered by facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic means, shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signature in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an electronic signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. Without limitation of the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such electronic signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such electronic signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any other party hereto (or to any other Loan Document) without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such electronic signature and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Each Loan Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party for any liabilities arising solely from such Person's reliance on or use of electronic signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any electronic signature.

SECTION 9.09. Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.



SECTION 9.10. Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrowers and each Lender Party in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender Party including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Lender Parties and the Borrowers stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof "interests" 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 (each, a "Recipient") and between each other as such Recipient shall consider appropriate, and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants (including such Eligible Assignee or participant's Affiliates, Related Funds and professional advisors), 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 Party, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to 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 Party, 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 (except with respect to any Applicable Governmental Authority) 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) to the extent required for the purposes of establishing a "due diligence" defense or a defense against a claim that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, has breached its confidentiality obligations, (i) 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 (j) 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 (j), 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 such 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. Each Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to and subject to clauses (b) and (c) above.

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-Corruption Laws 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-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required, to the extent that any Borrower 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.

(a) Except to the extent set forth in clause (b) below, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or,



to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each such party further agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Except to the extent set forth in clause (c) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) 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.

(c) Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any applicable law, each Loan Party not formed or incorporated in the United States: (i) appoints the Initial Process Agent (as defined below) as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the courts described in Section 9.14(a) in connection with the Loan Documents and (ii) agrees that failure by any Process Agent (as defined below) to notify any Loan Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. If any Person appointed as a Process Agent is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Borrowers shall immediately (and in any event within ten (10) days of such event taking place) appoint another process agent on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such replacement process agent and the Initial Process Agent, each a "Process Agent"). Failing this, the Administrative Agent may appoint another process agent for this purpose. "Initial Process Agent" means:

SECTION 9.15. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including but not limited to the validity, interpretation, construction, breach, enforcement or termination hereof and thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.16. Judgment Currency. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at 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.

(b) The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the "Relevant Currency") to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Relevant Currency with such other currency. If the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to promptly remit to the applicable Loan Party such excess.



SECTION 9.17. Substitution of Currency: Changes in Market Practices. 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 and subject to Section 5.01(g), 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 Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable 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 the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected 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 Affected 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 the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.21. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support") and each such QFC a "Supported QFC", the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regime") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 9.21, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) "BHC Act Affiliate" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) "Covered Entity" means any of the following:

(iii) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(iv) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or



(v) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(vi) "Default Right" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(vii) "QFC" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 5390(c)(8)(D).

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.

applicable to this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder.

Re: Amendment to Profits Interest Unit Awards

Dear [Name]:

As you know, you have previously been granted the awards of Profits Interests Unit of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the "Partnership"), set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the "Awards"), pursuant to the Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Services, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 2014 Incentive Award Plan (as amended, the "Incentive Plan") and profits interest unit award agreements between you, the Partnership and Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), which evidence the grant of such Awards (the "Award Agreements"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Incentive Plan or your Award Agreements (as applicable).

You are receiving this letter because you, the Partnership and the Company have agreed to amend your Awards as follows:

1. The definition of "Cause" in each of your Award Agreements is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

“Cause” means “Cause” as defined in the Participant’s employment, severance, management or similar agreement or arrangement with the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary (a “Participant Agreement”) if such Participant Agreement exists and contains a definition of Cause, or, if no such Participant Agreement exists or such Participant Agreement does not contain a definition of Cause, then “Cause” means (i) the Participant’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from the Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes that the Participant has not substantially performed his or her duties; (ii) the Participant’s willful commission of an act of fraud or dishonesty resulting in economic or financial injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (iii) the Participant’s conviction of, or entry by the Participant of a guilty or no contest plea to, the commission of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (iv) a willful breach by the Participant of any fiduciary duty owed to the Company which results in economic or other injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (v) the Participant’s willful and gross misconduct in the performance of his or her duties that results in economic or other injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (vi) a material breach by the Participant of any of his or her obligations under any agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates after written notice is delivered to the Participant which specifically identifies such breach. For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on the Participant’s part will be considered “willful”



unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in bad faith or without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.”

2. The definition of “Good Reason” in each of your Award Agreements is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

“‘Good Reason’ means “Good Reason” as defined in the Participant’s Participant Agreement if such Participant Agreement exists and contains a definition of Good Reason, or, if no such Participant Agreement exists or such Participant Agreement does not contain a definition of Good Reason, then “Good Reason” means, without the Participant’s prior written consent, the relocation of the Company’s offices at which the Participant is principally employed (the “Principal Location”) to a location more than forty-five (45) miles from such location, or the Company’s requiring the Participant to be based at a location more than forty-five (45) miles from the Principal Location, except for required travel on Company business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant will not be deemed to have resigned for Good Reason unless (x) the Participant provides the Company with notice of the circumstances constituting Good Reason within sixty (60) days after the initial occurrence or existence of such circumstances, (y) the Company fails to correct the circumstance so identified within 30 days after the receipt of such notice (if capable of correction), and (z) the date of termination of the Participant’s employment occurs no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the initial occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason.”

3. With respect to each of your Award Agreements applicable to an Award designated as “Time-Based Profits Interest Units” on Exhibit A hereto, the last sentence of Section 5 of each such Award Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

“Except as expressly provided in Sections 4(c) – (e) above, in any applicable plan, program or policy of the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary or in any Participant Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary, no Profits Interest Units which have not vested as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested.”

4. With respect to each of your Award Agreements applicable to an Award designated as “Time-Based Profits Interest Units” on Exhibit A hereto, the second sentence of Section 20(d) of each such Award Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

“Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes the provisions of any Participant Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary that would otherwise accelerate the vesting of the Award and the Profits Interest Units, and any provision in such agreement or letter which would otherwise accelerate such vesting shall have no force or effect with respect to the Award or the Profits Interest Units.”

5. With respect to each of your Award Agreements applicable to an Award designated as “Class D Units” on Exhibit A hereto, the second sentence of Section 21(d) of each such Award Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

“Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes the provisions of any Participant Agreement between the Participant and the Company, the Partnership or any Subsidiary that would otherwise accelerate the vesting of the Award and the Class D Units, and any provision in such agreement or letter which would otherwise



accelerate such vesting shall have no force or effect with respect to the Award or the Class D Units."

6. No Other Modifications. Except as specifically set forth in this letter, all other terms and conditions of your Awards and the Award Agreements shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

7. Miscellaneous. Nothing contained in this letter will (i) confer upon you any right to continue in employment with the Partnership, the Company or their affiliates, (ii) constitute a contract of employment, or (iii) interfere with the right of the Partnership, the Company or their affiliates to terminate your employment at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without cause. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this letter shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles. This letter, together with the Award Agreements, sets forth the final and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by the Partnership, the Company and you, or any representative of the Partnership, the Company or you, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

## EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

This EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (including Exhibit A hereto, the “Agreement”), dated as of [DATE] (“Effective Date”), is made by and between Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (“REIT”), DLR LLC (“Employer”, and together with the REIT, “Company”) and ___ (“Employee”, and together with the Company, “Parties”).

In consideration of Employee’s continued employment with the Company and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company is pleased to offer Employee eligibility to receive severance benefits upon specified terminations of employment on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the belief of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the REIT that it is in the Company’s best interests to provide Employee with those benefits as enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement for Employee to remain with the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Section III of Exhibit A of this Agreement.

1. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be effective for a term ("Term") commencing on the Effective Date and ending on [DATE] ("Initial Termination Date"). If not previously terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the Term shall automatically be extended for additional one (1)-year periods on each of (i) the Initial Termination Date and (ii) on each anniversary thereof, unless Employee or the Company elects not to so extend the Term by notifying the other party, in writing, of such election not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Term; except, however, in the event that a Change in Control occurs during the Term, the ending date of the Term shall thereupon automatically be extended to the date that is the second anniversary of the date on which such Change in Control occurs. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the expiration of the Term or the Company's election not to renew or extend the Term constitute a termination of Employee's employment by the Company without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason.

2. AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. The Company and Employee acknowledge that Employee’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. This Agreement does not constitute an agreement to employ Employee for any specific time.

3. SEVERANCE BENEFITS. Employee shall be eligible to receive certain severance benefits upon specified terminations of employment as set forth in Exhibit A and under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

4. TERMINATION OF OFFICES AND DIRECTORSHIPS. Effective as of the Employee’s final date of employment with the Company (“Termination Date”), except to the extent otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the REIT (“Board”) in its sole discretion, Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices, directorships, and other employment positions, if any, then held with the REIT, Digital Realty Trust, L.P., the Employer, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, “Digital Group”), and Employee agrees that Employee shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate the foregoing.

5. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS.



A. Best Pay Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Employee (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a termination of Employee's employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, including the payments and benefits set forth in Exhibit A of this Agreement, the "Total Payments") would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax ("Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, Employee's remaining Total Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes applicable to such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which Employee would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). The reduction undertaken pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be accomplished first by reducing or eliminating any cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation (with payments to be made further in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating cash payments that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, then by reducing payments attributable to equity-based compensation (or the accelerated vesting thereof) subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation (with payments to be made further in the future being reduced first), and finally, by reducing payments attributable to equity-based compensation (or the accelerated vesting thereof) that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code; provided that all payments to which Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) does not apply shall be reduced or eliminated before any payments to which Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) applies.

B. Certain Exclusions. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments, the receipt or retention of which Employee has waived at such time and in such manner so as not to constitute a "payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code, will be taken into account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments will be taken into account, in the written opinion of an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm ("Independent Advisers") selected by the Company, does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of Independent Advisers, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the "base amount" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Independent Advisers in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.



## 6. SECTION 409A.

A. To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied consistent and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time Employee and the Company mutually determine that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may not be compliant with or exempt from Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the parties shall work together to adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies, and procedures with retroactive effect), or take such other actions, as the parties determine are necessary or appropriate to (A) exempt such compensation and benefits from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of such compensation and benefits, or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance; provided, however, that this Section 6(A) shall not create any obligation on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendment, policy, or procedure or take any such other action and shall create no guarantee of any particular tax treatment to Employee. Employee shall be solely responsible for tax consequences with respect to all amounts payable under this Agreement, and in no event shall Company have any liability or responsibility if this Agreement does not meet any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

B. To the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any separate payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be deemed "nonqualified deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code and this Section 6 to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A of the Code.

C. To the extent that compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement (A) constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or (B) are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and are designated under this Agreement as payable upon (or within a specified time following) Employee’s termination of employment, such compensation or benefits shall, subject to Section 6(D) below, be payable only upon (or, as applicable, within the specified time following) Employee’s “separation from service” from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code).

D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any termination payments or benefits payable under Exhibit A, shall be paid to Employee prior to the expiration of the six (6)-month period following Employee’s “separation from service” from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) to the extent that the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Employee’s



death), the Company shall pay Employee a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Employee during such six (6)-month period, plus interest thereon from the Termination Date through the payment date at a rate equal to the then-current “applicable Federal rate” determined under Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

E. To the extent that any payments or reimbursements provided to Employee under this Agreement are deemed to constitute compensation to which Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv) would apply, such amounts shall be paid or reimbursed to Employee reasonably promptly, but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of any such payments eligible for reimbursement in one year shall not affect the payments or expenses that are eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other taxable year, and Employee's right to such payments or reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

F. In the event of any installment payment of compensation under this Agreement, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying Section 409A.

G. If any payment subject to Section 409A is contingent on the delivery of a Release by Employee and the aggregate period during which Employee is entitled to consider and/or revoke such Release spans two calendar years, the payment shall not be made prior to the beginning of the second such calendar year (and any payments otherwise payable prior thereto (if any) shall instead be paid on the first regularly scheduled Company payroll date occurring in the latter such calendar year).

7. PAYMENT OF FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. In the event that Employee's employment or consultancy is shared among the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, the payment or provision to Employee by the Company of any remuneration, benefits, or other financial obligations pursuant to this Agreement may be allocated to the Company and, as applicable, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in accordance with an employee sharing or expense allocation agreement entered into by such parties.

8. WITHHOLDING. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, local, or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

9. ARBITRATION. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the ECCA and/or the PIIAA (each as defined below) or any other agreement containing Restrictive Covenants, any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the interpretation of this Agreement or any arrangements relating to this Agreement or contemplated in this Agreement or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall be settled by final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator. Arbitration shall be administered by JAMS in San Francisco, California in accordance with the then existing JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Except as provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state referenced in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Judgment upon the



award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party will pay the fees for his, her or its own attorneys, subject to any fee-shifting statutes that govern the claims at issue in arbitration. However, in all cases where required by law, the Company will pay the arbitrator's and the arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay all of the arbitrator's and/or the arbitration fees, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the parties by the arbitrator in accordance with said applicable law, and any disputes in that regard will be resolved by the arbitrator.

10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement, together with Employee's Employee Confidentiality and Covenant Agreement with the Company ("ECCA") and Employee's Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement with the Company ("PIIAA"), if any, constitutes the final, complete, and exclusive agreement between Employee and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and replaces and supersedes any and all other agreements, offers, or promises, whether oral or written, made to Employee by any member of the Digital Group (including, without limitation, Employee's employment agreement with the Company, dated as of [DATE]). This Agreement may not be amended or modified other than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

11. ASSUMPTION BY SUCCESSOR. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

12. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Employee hereby acknowledges (A) that Employee has consulted with or have had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel of Employee's own choice concerning this Agreement, and has been advised to do so by the Company, and (B) that Employee has read and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it freely based on Employee's own judgment.

13. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [EMPLOYMENT], without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

The Consulting Agreement shall (A) be entered into prior to or on Employee's Retirement date and be effective immediately upon Employee's Retirement to ensure that there is no lapse in Employee's continued service to the Company, (B) be for a term that ends immediately after the last vesting date to occur of any Company equity-based award held by Employee as of the date of Employee's Retirement, (C) not require Employee to provide more than two hundred fifty (250) hours of consulting services per year, with compensation for such consulting services to be reasonably agreed between Employee and the Company, (D) include such other terms and conditions reasonably prescribed by the Company, and (E) include non-competition, non-solicitation, and other restrictive covenants applicable during and after the term of the Consulting Agreement that are no less protective of the Company than those referenced in Section II of this Exhibit A of the Agreement.

2. The Consulting Agreement and the consulting relationship established thereby may be terminated during the term of such Consulting Agreement by the Company only for “cause” (defined in a manner substantially similar to, and no more expansive in scope than, Cause (as defined below)), and by Employee for any reason. In the event that the Consulting Agreement and the consulting relationship established thereby are terminated (A) by Employee for any reason or (B) by the Company for “cause,” any outstanding awards that are unvested at the time of such termination shall be forfeited without payment of any consideration therefor. In the event the Consulting Agreement and the consulting relationship established thereby are terminated by mutual agreement, the treatment of any outstanding awards held by Employee upon such termination shall be mutually determined by Employee and the Company at the time of such termination.

3. With respect to Employee’s Retirement, Employee also agrees that any post-termination covenants contained in this Agreement, any prior employment agreements between Employee and the Company, Employee’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, and Employee’s Employee Confidentiality and Covenant Agreement shall commence upon the expiration or



termination of the consulting period (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not upon the termination of Employee’s employment) and apply in full force and effect.

4. In the event that the Consulting Agreement and the relationship established thereby are terminated by Employee for any reason or by the Company for “cause,” in either case, Employee shall thereupon tender Employee’s resignation from all directorships in accordance with Section 4 above, which resignation may be accepted by the Company in its sole discretion.

(iii) Termination of Consulting Agreement Without Cause or Failure to Offer Consulting Agreement. In the event that the Consulting Agreement and the relationship established thereby are terminated by Company without “cause” or the Company fails to offer to Employee a Consulting Agreement in connection with Employee’s Retirement, then Employee’s outstanding Company equity-based awards shall be subject to the Company’s equity incentive plan and award agreements evidencing such awards (including the vesting and payment provisions thereunder).

II. RELEASE; COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has entered into agreements with the Company containing certain nondisclosure, intellectual property assignment, non-competition, and non-solicitation provisions, including as set forth in a Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement and an Employee Confidentiality and Covenant Agreement, and that Employee shall be bound by, and shall continue to comply with Employee's obligations under those agreements and any other agreement between Employee and the Company containing restrictive covenants ("Restrictive Covenants"). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Employee's right to receive the payments and benefits set forth in this Exhibit A are conditioned on and subject to (A) Employee's execution within twenty-one (21) days (or, to the extent required by applicable law, forty-five (45) days) following the Termination Date and non-revocation within seven (7) days thereafter of the Release of claims against the Digital Group, (B) Employee's continued compliance with the Restrictive Covenants.

## III. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement:

A. “Cause” means (A) Employee’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform Employee’s duties with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Company, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes that Employee has not substantially performed Employee’s duties; (B) Employee’s willful commission of an act of fraud or dishonesty resulting in economic or financial injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (C) Employee’s conviction of, or entry by Employee of a guilty or no contest plea to, the commission of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (D) a willful breach by Employee of any fiduciary duty owed to the Company which results in economic or other injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (E) Employee’s willful and gross misconduct in the performance of Employee’s duties that results in economic or other injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (F) a material breach by Employee of any of Employee’s obligations under any agreement, including this Agreement, with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates after written notice is delivered to Employee by the Company which specifically identifies such breach. For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on Employee’s part will be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Employee in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Employee’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee incurs a “separation from



service" by reason of a termination of Employee's employment by the Company (other than by reason of Employee's death or Disability or pursuant to clause (C) of this paragraph) on or before the second anniversary of a Change in Control or within sixty (60) days prior to such Change in Control, it shall be presumed for purposes of this Agreement that such termination was effected by the Company other than for Cause unless the contrary is established by the Company.

B. “Disability” shall mean a disability that qualifies or, had Employee been a participant, would qualify Employee to receive long-term disability payments under the Company’s group long-term disability insurance plan or program, as it may be amended from time to time.

C. “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without Employee’s prior written consent, unless the Company corrects the circumstances constituting Good Reason (provided such circumstances are capable of correction) prior to the Termination Date: (A) the Company’s assignment to Employee of any duties materially inconsistent with Employee’s position (including status, offices, titles, and reporting requirements), authority, duties, or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company which results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties, or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial, and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company; (B) the Company’s material reduction of Employee’s annual base salary or bonus opportunity, each as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time; (C) the relocation of the Company’s offices at which Employee is principally employed (“Principal Location”) to a location more than forty-five (45) miles from such location, or the Company’s requiring Employee to be based at a location more than forty-five (45) miles from the Principal Location, except for required travel on Company business; or (D) a material breach by the Company of Section 11 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee will not be deemed to have resigned for Good Reason unless (x) Employee provides the Company with written notice of the circumstances constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days after the initial occurrence or existence of such circumstances, (y) the Company fails to correct the circumstance so identified within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice (if capable of correction), and (z) the Termination Date occurs no later than ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason.

D. “Prior Year Bonus” shall mean, for any Termination Date that occurs between January 1 of any fiscal year and the date that annual bonuses are paid by the Company for the immediately preceding year (the “Prior Year”), Employee’s target annual bonus (without giving effect to any reduction which constitutes Good Reason) for such Prior Year, unless the Compensation Committee has determined Employee’s bonus for such Prior Year, in which case the Prior Year Bonus shall be the bonus determined by the Compensation Committee, if any. The Prior Year Bonus, if any, shall be in lieu of Employee’s annual bonus for the Prior Year. There will be no Prior Year Bonus in connection with any Termination Date that occurs on or after the date the Company pays annual bonuses for the Prior Year through the end of the year in which the Termination Date occurs.

E. “Retirement” shall mean Employee’s voluntary retirement from Employee’s employment with the Company at a time when (A) Employee has attained at least fifty-five (55) years of age, (B) Employee has completed at least ten (10) Years of Service (as defined below) with the Company, and (C) Employee’s combined age plus Years of Service equals at least seventy (70), provided that Employee has provided the Company with at least twelve (12) months’ advance written notice of Employee’s retirement (or such other shorter minimum advance written notice that is acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion), which notice shall be provided no earlier than such time as Employee has satisfied the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above (“Notice



Period"). For purposes of this Agreement, (x) if, during the Notice Period, Employee's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, such termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of Employee's Retirement for purposes of this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Employee will not be entitled to any payments or benefits under this Agreement as if Employee's employment was terminated by the Company without Cause), (y) if, during the Notice Period, Employee's employment is terminated for any other reason, such termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred by reason of Employee's Retirement for purposes of this Agreement, and (z) provided that Employee continues in employment with the Company through the Notice Period, Employee's employment shall automatically terminate upon the termination date set forth in such notice (or such other date accepted by the Board).

F. "Stub Year Bonus" shall mean the product obtained by multiplying (A) Employee's target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs (without giving effect to any reduction which constitutes Good Reason) multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have elapsed in the then current fiscal year through the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365; provided, however, that in the case of Employee's Retirement, "Stub Year Bonus" shall mean the product obtained by multiplying (x) the average annual bonus earned by Employee for the three (3) Company fiscal years immediately preceding the Company fiscal year in which Employee's Retirement occurs multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have elapsed in the then current fiscal year through the date of Employee's Retirement and the denominator of which is 365.

G. "Years of Service" means the aggregate period of time, expressed as a number of whole years and fractions thereof, during which Employee was an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates in paid status.

EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN ADVISED BY LEGAL COUNSEL AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

Employee represents and warrants that there has been no assignment or other transfer of any interest in any Claim which Employee may have against the Releases, or any of them, and Employee agrees to indemnify and hold the Releases, and each of them, harmless from any liability, Claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by the Releases, or any of them, as the result of any such assignment or transfer of any rights or Claims. It is the intention of the parties that this indemnity does not require payment as a condition precedent to recovery by the Releases against Employee under this indemnity.

Employee represents that Employee has no lawsuits, Claims, or actions pending in Employee's name, or on behalf of Employee or any other person or entity, against any of the Releases. Employee agrees that Employee will not voluntarily provide assistance, information, or advice, directly or indirectly (including through agents or attorneys), to any person or entity in connection with any actual or potential Claim or cause of action of any kind against the Releases and that Employee shall not induce or encourage any person or entity to do so, unless compelled or authorized to do so by law.

Employee represents and warrants that all of the factual representations made herein are true in all material respects.

In addition, Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee is bound by certain covenants and provisions set forth in the Severance Agreement as well as in the Employee Confidentiality and Covenant Agreement ("ECCA") and Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement ("PIIAA"), if any, and that such covenants and provisions shall survive the termination of Employee's employment with the Company and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Severance Agreement, ECCA, and PIIAA. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that Employee's right to receive the payment and benefits set forth in the Severance Agreement is conditioned on and subject to Employee's continued compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in the Severance Agreement, ECCA, and PIIAA.

Releases in defending or otherwise responding to said suit or Claim; provided, that, this paragraph shall not apply with respect to any compulsory counterclaims, within the meaning of Rule 13(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, asserted by Employee against the Releases bringing claims against Employee as set forth above.

Employee further understands and agrees that neither the payment of any sum of money nor the execution of this Release shall constitute or be construed as an admission of any liability whatsoever by the Releases, or any of them, who have consistently taken the position that they have no liability whatsoever to Employee.

Employee agrees that if any provision of this Release is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not affect any other provision of this Release and the provision in question shall be modified so as to be rendered enforceable in a manner consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as possible under applicable law. Employee understands that this Release, together with the Severance Agreement and any ECCA and/or PIIAA executed by Employee, constitutes the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between Employee and the Company with regard to the subject matter hereof. Employee is not relying on any promise or representation by the Company that is not expressly stated therein. The Parties further understand and agree that this Release may be amended only by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Release on [DATE].



## EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

This EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (including Exhibit A hereto, the "Agreement"), dated as of [DATE] ("Effective Date"), is made by and between Digital Realty Trust, Inc. ("REIT"), DLR LLC ("Employer", and together with the REIT, "Company") and ___ ("Employee", and together with the Company, "Parties").

In consideration of Employee’s continued employment with the Company and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company is pleased to offer Employee eligibility to receive severance benefits upon specified terminations of employment on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the belief of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the REIT that it is in the Company’s best interests to provide Employee with those benefits as enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement for Employee to remain with the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Section III of Exhibit A of this Agreement.

1. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be effective for a term ("Term") commencing on the Effective Date and ending on [DATE] ("Initial Termination Date"). If not previously terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the Term shall automatically be extended for additional one (1)-year periods on each of (i) the Initial Termination Date and (ii) on each anniversary thereof, unless Employee or the Company elects not to set extend the Term by notifying the other party, in writing, of such election not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Term; except, however, in the event that a Change in Control occurs during the Term, the ending date of the Term shall thereupon automatically be extended to the date that is the second anniversary of the date on which such Change in Control occurs. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the expiration of the Term or the Company's election not to renew or extend the Term constitute a termination of Employee's employment by the Company without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason.

2. AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. The Company and Employee acknowledge that Employee’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. This Agreement does not constitute an agreement to employ Employee for any specific time. However, in the event that local law prohibits at-will employment, it is expressly agreed that this shall not affect the validity of this Agreement, and that Employee is receiving greater entitlements under this Agreement than are required by the Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000 or any similar law, and that this Agreement constitutes a valid written notice of termination in accordance with that Act and with the common law of Ontario.

3. SEVERANCE BENEFITS. Employee shall be eligible to receive certain severance benefits upon specified terminations of employment as set forth in Exhibit A and under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

4. TERMINATION OF OFFICES AND DIRECTORSHIPS. Effective as of the Employee’s final date of employment with the Company (“Termination Date”), except to the extent otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the REIT (“Board”) in its sole discretion, Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices, directorships, and



other employment positions, if any, then held with the REIT, Digital Realty Trust, L.P., the Employer, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, "Digital Group"), and Employee agrees that Employee shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Company to effectuate the foregoing.

## 5. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS.

A. Best Pay Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Employee (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a termination of Employee's employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, including the payments and benefits set forth in Exhibit A of this Agreement, the "Total Payments") would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax ("Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, Employee's remaining Total Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes applicable to such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which Employee would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). The reduction undertaken pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be accomplished first by reducing or eliminating any cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation (with payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating cash payments that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, then by reducing payments attributable to equity-based compensation (or the accelerated vesting thereof) subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation (with payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), and finally, by reducing payments attributable to equity-based compensation (or the accelerated vesting thereof) that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code; provided that all payments to which Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) does not apply shall be reduced or eliminated before any payments to which Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) applies.

B. Certain Exclusions. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments, the receipt or retention of which Employee has waived at such time and in such manner so as not to constitute a "payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code, will be taken into account; (ii) no portion of the Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the written opinion of an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm ("Independent Advisers") selected by the Company, does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments will be



taken into account which, in the opinion of Independent Advisors, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the "base amount" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation; and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

## 6. SECTION 409A.

A. To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied consistent and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time Employee and the Company mutually determine that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may not be compliant with or exempt from Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the parties shall work together to adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies, and procedures with retroactive effect), or take such other actions, as the parties determine are necessary or appropriate to (A) exempt such compensation and benefits from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of such compensation and benefits, or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance; provided, however, that this Section 6(A) shall not create any obligation on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendment, policy, or procedure or take any such other action and shall create no guarantee of any particular tax treatment to Employee. Employee shall be solely responsible for tax consequences with respect to all amounts payable under this Agreement, and in no event shall Company have any liability or responsibility if this Agreement does not meet any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

B. To the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any separate payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be deemed "nonqualified deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code and this Section 6 to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A of the Code.

C. To the extent that compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement (A) constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or (B) are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and are designated under this Agreement as payable upon (or within a specified time following) Employee’s termination of employment, such compensation or benefits shall, subject to Section 6(D) below, be payable only upon (or, as applicable, within the specified time following) Employee’s “separation from service” from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code).

D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any termination payments or benefits payable under Exhibit A, shall be paid to Employee prior to the expiration of



the six (6)-month period following Employee’s “separation from service” from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) to the extent that the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Employee’s death), the Company shall pay Employee a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Employee during such six (6)-month period, plus interest thereon from the Termination Date through the payment date at a rate equal to the then-current “applicable Federal rate” determined under Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

E. To the extent that any payments or reimbursements provided to Employee under this Agreement are deemed to constitute compensation to which Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv) would apply, such amounts shall be paid or reimbursed to Employee reasonably promptly, but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of any such payments eligible for reimbursement in one year shall not affect the payments or expenses that are eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other taxable year, and Employee's right to such payments or reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

F. In the event of any installment payment of compensation under this Agreement, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying Section 409A.

G. If any payment subject to Section 409A is contingent on the delivery of a Release by Employee and the aggregate period during which Employee is entitled to consider and/or revoke such Release spans two calendar years, the payment shall not be made prior to the beginning of the second such calendar year (and any payments otherwise payable prior thereto (if any) shall instead be paid on the first regularly scheduled Company payroll date occurring in the latter such calendar year).

7. PAYMENT OF FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. In the event that Employee’s employment or consultancy is shared among the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, the payment or provision to Employee by the Company of any remuneration, benefits, or other financial obligations pursuant to this Agreement may be allocated to the Company and, as applicable, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in accordance with an employee sharing or expense allocation agreement entered into by such parties.

8. WITHHOLDING. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state, local, or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

9. ARBITRATION. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the ECCA and/or the PIIAA (each as defined below) or any other agreement containing Restrictive Covenants, any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the interpretation of this Agreement or any arrangements relating to this Agreement or contemplated in this Agreement or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall be settled by final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator. Arbitration shall be



administered by JAMS in San Francisco, California in accordance with the then existing JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Except as provided herein, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state referenced in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party will pay the fees for his, her or its own attorneys, subject to any fee-shifting statutes that govern the claims at issue in arbitration. However, in all cases where required by law, the Company will pay the arbitrator's and the arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay all of the arbitrator's and/or the arbitration fees, such fees(s) will be apportioned between the parties by the arbitrator in accordance with said applicable law, and any disputes in that regard will be resolved by the arbitrator.

10. COMPLIANCE WITH ALTERNATIVE LAWS. The Parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent that their respective rights or obligations are governed in any way by the laws of the Province of Ontario or the laws of Canada applicable therein, the Parties intend that this Agreement should be performed by the Parties to the greatest extent permitted law and that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law. Without limitation, any applicable local taxation requirements (including withholding obligations, contribution to social security programs, or other taxation requirements) will be complied with by the Parties, but any failure to comply with local tax laws or requirements will not affect the validity of this Agreement. Without limitation, the Employee will be responsible for paying any income tax, Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance, or similar tax or social security payments that are or may be owed to the governments of Ontario or Canada, Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario or of Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency or the Receiver General of Canada that is owing on the payments or benefits contemplated in this Agreement, and shall hold Employer harmless in respect of any such payment(s) or tax(es) as may be assessed.

11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement, together with Employee's Employee Confidentiality and Covenant Agreement with the Company ("ECCA") and Employee's Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement with the Company ("PIIAA"), if any, constitutes the final, complete, and exclusive agreement between Employee and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and replaces and supersedes any and all other agreements, offers, or promises, whether oral or written, made to Employee by any member of the Digital Group (including, without limitation, Employee's employment agreement with the Company, dated December 8, 2018, and effective as of January 7, 2019). This Agreement may not be amended or modified other than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

A. Without Cause or for Good Reason. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event that, during the Term, Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause or Employee resigns for Good Reason, and provided that, after the Termination Date, Employee timely executes and does not subsequently revoke a full release of claims with the Company (in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1) ("Release"), in addition to any other accrued amounts payable to Employee through the Termination Date, Employee will be entitled to receive the severance benefits set out in subsections (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) of this Section I.A.

(i) Payable within sixty (60) days after the Employee’s Termination Date (with the exact date to be determined by the Company in its discretion), a lump-sum severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of:

1. one (1.0) (“Severance Multiple”) times the sum of (A) Employee’s annual base salary as in effect on the Termination Date, plus (B) Employee’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs (in the case of both (A) and (B), without giving effect to any reduction which constitutes Good Reason), plus

2. the Stub Year Bonus, plus

3. the Prior Year Bonus, if any.

(ii) If Employee timely and properly elects to continue coverage under a Company-sponsored group health plan pursuant to COBRA, for a period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Termination Date or (B) the date on which Employee becomes eligible to receive comparable group health insurance coverage under a subsequent employer's plans ("Continuation Period"), the Company shall pay the full amount of the monthly COBRA premium for Employee and Employee's dependents (if applicable) participating in such plan on the Termination Date; provided, however, that if (x) any plan pursuant to which the Company is providing such coverage is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the period of continuation coverage to be, exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code (as defined below) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), or (y) the Company is otherwise unable to continue to cover Employee under its group health plans or doing so would jeopardize the tax-qualified status of such plans, then, in either case, an amount equal to the monthly plan premium payment shall thereafter be paid to Employee as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the Continuation Period (or the remaining portion thereof).

(iii) For a period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Termination Date, the Company shall, at its sole expense and on an as-incurred basis, provide Employee with outplacement counseling services directly related to Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, the provider of which shall be selected by the Company.

(iv) Employee’s outstanding Company equity-based awards shall be subject to the applicable Company equity incentive plan and award agreements evidencing such awards, including the vesting and payment provisions thereunder.



B. Change in Control. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event that a Change in Control (as defined in the Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Services, Inc., and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as amended, or any successor incentive plan) occurs during the Term and, within the time period beginning sixty (60) days prior to such Change in Control and ending on the second anniversary of such Change in Control, Employee is terminated by the Company without Cause or Employee resigns for Good Reason, then, in addition to any other accrued amounts payable to Employee through the Termination Date, Employee shall be entitled to the payments and benefits provided in Section I(A)(i) hereof, subject to the terms and conditions thereof (including the Release requirement set forth in Section I(A), except that, for purposes of this Section I(B), the Severance Multiple shall be equal to two (2.0) (instead of one (1.0)).

C. Death or Disability. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a termination of Employee’s employment during the Term by reason of Employee’s death or Disability, then, in addition to any other accrued amounts payable to Employee through the Termination Date, the Company will pay and provide Employee (or Employee’s estate or legal representative) with the following payments and benefits:

(i) payable within sixty (60) days after Employee’s Termination Date (with the exact payment date to be determined by the Company in its discretion), a lump-sum severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of (A) Employee’s annual base salary as in effect on the Termination Date, plus (B) Employee’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, plus (C) the Stub Year Bonus, plus (D) the Prior Year Bonus, if any;

(ii) Employee’s outstanding Company equity-based awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Company equity incentive plans and award agreements evidencing such awards, including the vesting and payment provisions thereunder.

## D. Retirement.

(i) Benefits. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event of a termination of Employee’s employment during or upon the completion of the Term due to Employee’s Retirement, the Company shall offer to Employee a consulting agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) for Employee to provide to the Company consulting services to (x) support on matters that would normally involve the position and role laid held by Employee at the Company prior to Employee’s Retirement and (y) litigation support and senior client relationship management services to the Company; and provided that, within the specified period after the Termination Date, (A) Employee timely executes and does not subsequently revoke the Release and (B) enters into the Consulting Agreement, then:

1. if Employee timely and properly elects to continue coverage under a Company-sponsored group health plan pursuant to COBRA, for the Continuation Period, the Company shall pay the full amount of the monthly COBRA premium for Employee and Employee’s dependents (if applicable) participating in such plan on



the Termination Date; provided, however, that if (A) any plan pursuant to which the Company is providing such coverage is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the period of continuation coverage to be, exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code (as defined below) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), or (B) the Company is otherwise unable to continue to cover Employee under its group health plans or doing so would jeopardize the tax-qualified status of such plans, then, in either case, an amount equal to the monthly plan premium payment shall thereafter be paid to Employee as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the continuation period (or the remaining portion thereof); and

2. Employee’s outstanding Company equity-based awards shall be subject to the Company’s equity incentive plan and award agreements evidencing such awards (including the vesting and payment provisions thereunder) during the term of the Consulting Agreement.

(ii) Consulting Agreement. In the event that Employee and the Company enter into a Consulting Agreement pursuant to Section I(D):

1. The Consulting Agreement shall (A) be entered into prior to or on Employee's Retirement date and be effective immediately upon Employee's Retirement to ensure that there is no lapse in Employee's continued service to the Company, (B) be for a term that ends immediately after the last vesting date to occur of any Company equity-based award held by Employee as of the date of Employee's Retirement, (C) not require Employee to provide more than two hundred fifty (250) hours of consulting services per year, with compensation for such consulting services to be reasonably agreed between Employee and the Company, (D) include such other terms and conditions reasonably prescribed by the Company, and (E) include non-competition, non-solicitation, and other restrictive covenants applicable during and after the term of the Consulting Agreement that are no less protective of the Company than those referenced in Section II of this Exhibit A of the Agreement.

2. The Consulting Agreement and the consulting relationship established thereby may be terminated during the term of such Consulting Agreement by the Company only for “cause” (defined in a manner substantially similar to, and no more expansive in scope than, Cause (as defined below)), and by Employee for any reason. In the event that the Consulting Agreement and the consulting relationship established thereby are terminated (A) by Employee for any reason or (B) by the Company for “cause,” any outstanding awards that are unvested at the time of such termination shall be forfeited without payment of any consideration therefor. In the event the Consulting Agreement and the consulting relationship established thereby are terminated by mutual agreement, the treatment of any outstanding awards held by Employee upon such termination shall be mutually determined by Employee and the Company at the time of such termination.

3. With respect to Employee’s Retirement, Employee also agrees that any post-termination covenants contained in this Agreement, any prior employment agreements between Employee and the Company, Employee’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, and Employee’s Employee Confidentiality and Covenant Agreement shall commence upon the expiration or



termination of the consulting period (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not upon the termination of Employee’s employment) and apply in full force and effect.

4. In the event that the Consulting Agreement and the relationship established thereby are terminated by Employee for any reason or by the Company for “cause,” in either case, Employee shall thereupon tender Employee’s resignation from all directorships in accordance with Section 4 above, which resignation may be accepted by the Company in its sole discretion.

(iii) Termination of Consulting Agreement Without Cause or Failure to Offer Consulting Agreement. In the event that the Consulting Agreement and the relationship established thereby are terminated by Company without “cause” or the Company fails to offer to Employee a Consulting Agreement in connection with Employee’s Retirement, then Employee’s outstanding Company equity-based awards shall be subject to the Company’s equity incentive plan and award agreements evidencing such awards (including the vesting and payment provisions thereunder).

II. RELEASE; COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has entered into agreements with the Company containing certain nondisclosure, intellectual property assignment, non-competition, and non-solicitation provisions, including as set forth in a Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement and an Employee Confidentiality and Covenant Agreement, and that Employee shall be bound by, and shall continue to comply with Employee's obligations under those agreements and any other agreement between Employee and the Company containing restrictive covenants ("Restrictive Covenants"). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Employee's right to receive the payments and benefits set forth in this Exhibit A are conditioned on and subject to (A) Employee's execution within twenty-one (21) days (or, to the extent required by applicable law, forty-five (45) days) following the Termination Date and non-revocation within seven (7) days thereafter of the Release of claims against the Digital Group, (B) Employee's continued compliance with the Restrictive Covenants.

## III. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement:

A. “Cause” means (A) Employee’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform Employee’s duties with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Company, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes that Employee has not substantially performed Employee’s duties; (B) Employee’s willful commission of an act of fraud or dishonesty resulting in economic or financial injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (C) Employee’s conviction of, or entry by Employee of a guilty or no contest plea to, the commission of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (D) a willful breach by Employee of any fiduciary duty owed to the Company which results in economic or other injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (E) Employee’s willful and gross misconduct in the performance of Employee’s duties that results in economic or other injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (F) a material breach by Employee of any of Employee’s obligations under any agreement, including this Agreement, with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates after written notice is delivered to Employee by the Company which specifically identifies such breach. For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on Employee’s part will be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Employee in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Employee’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee incurs a “separation from



service" by reason of a termination of Employee's employment by the Company (other than by reason of Employee's death or Disability or pursuant to clause (C) of this paragraph) on or before the second anniversary of a Change in Control or within sixty (60) days prior to such Change in Control, it shall be presumed for purposes of this Agreement that such termination was effected by the Company other than for Cause unless the contrary is established by the Company.

B. “Disability” shall mean a disability that qualifies or, had Employee been a participant, would qualify Employee to receive long-term disability payments under the Company’s group long-term disability insurance plan or program, as it may be amended from time to time.

C. “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without Employee’s prior written consent, unless the Company corrects the circumstances constituting Good Reason (provided such circumstances are capable of correction) prior to the Termination Date: (A) the Company’s assignment to Employee of any duties materially inconsistent with Employee’s position (including status, offices, titles, and reporting requirements), authority, duties, or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company which results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties, or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial, and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company; (B) the Company’s material reduction of Employee’s annual base salary or bonus opportunity, each as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time; (C) the relocation of the Company’s offices at which Employee is principally employed (“Principal Location”) to a location more than forty-five (45) miles from such location, or the Company’s requiring Employee to be based at a location more than forty-five (45) miles from the Principal Location, except for required travel on Company business; or (D) a material breach by the Company of Section 11 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee will not be deemed to have resigned for Good Reason unless (x) Employee provides the Company with written notice of the circumstances constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days after the initial occurrence or existence of such circumstances, (y) the Company fails to correct the circumstance so identified within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice (if capable of correction), and (z) the Termination Date occurs no later than ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason.

D. “Prior Year Bonus” shall mean, for any Termination Date that occurs between January 1 of any fiscal year and the date that annual bonuses are paid by the Company for the immediately preceding year (the “Prior Year”), Employee’s target annual bonus (without giving effect to any reduction which constitutes Good Reason) for such Prior Year, unless the Compensation Committee has determined Employee’s bonus for such Prior Year, in which case the Prior Year Bonus shall be the bonus determined by the Compensation Committee, if any. The Prior Year Bonus, if any, shall be in lieu of Employee’s annual bonus for the Prior Year. There will be no Prior Year Bonus in connection with any Termination Date that occurs on or after the date the Company pays annual bonuses for the Prior Year through the end of the year in which the Termination Date occurs.

E. “Retirement” shall mean Employee’s voluntary retirement from Employee’s employment with the Company at a time when (A) Employee has attained at least fifty-five (55) years of age, (B) Employee has completed at least ten (10) Years of Service (as defined below) with the Company, and (C) Employee’s combined age plus Years of Service equals at least seventy (70), provided that Employee has provided the Company with at least twelve (12) months’ advance written notice of Employee’s retirement (or such other shorter minimum advance written notice that is acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion), which notice shall be provided no earlier than such time as Employee has satisfied the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above (“Notice



Period"). For purposes of this Agreement, (x) if, during the Notice Period, Employee's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, such termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of Employee's Retirement for purposes of this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Employee will not be entitled to any payments or benefits under this Agreement as if Employee's employment was terminated by the Company without Cause), (y) if, during the Notice Period, Employee's employment is terminated for any other reason, such termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred by reason of Employee's Retirement for purposes of this Agreement, and (z) provided that Employee continues in employment with the Company through the Notice Period, Employee's employment shall automatically terminate upon the termination date set forth in such notice (or such other date accepted by the Board).

F. "Stub Year Bonus" shall mean the product obtained by multiplying (A) Employee's target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs (without giving effect to any reduction which constitutes Good Reason) multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have elapsed in the then current fiscal year through the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365; provided, however, that in the case of Employee's Retirement, "Stub Year Bonus" shall mean the product obtained by multiplying (x) the average annual bonus earned by Employee for the three (3) Company fiscal years immediately preceding the Company fiscal year in which Employee's Retirement occurs multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have elapsed in the then current fiscal year through the date of Employee's Retirement and the denominator of which is 365.

G. "Years of Service" means the aggregate period of time, expressed as a number of whole years and fractions thereof, during which Employee was an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates in paid status.

EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN ADVISED BY LEGAL COUNSEL AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

EMPLOYEE, BEING AWARE OF SAID CODE SECTION, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS EMPLOYEE MAY HAVE THEREUNDER, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR EFFECT. IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH WAIVER AND RELINQUISHMENT, EMPLOYEE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EMPLOYEE MAY HEREAFTER DISCOVER CLAIMS OR FACTS IN ADDITION TO, OR DIFFERENT FROM, THOSE WHICH HE NOW KNOWS OR BELIEVES TO EXIST, BUT THAT EMPLOYEE EXPRESSLY AGREES TO FULLY, FINALLY, AND FOREVER SETTLE AND RELEASE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, WHICH EXIST OR MAY EXIST ON EMPLOYEE'S BEHALF AGAINST THE COMPANY AND/OR RELEASES AT THE TIME OF EXECUTION OF THIS RELEASE.

(B) EMPLOYEE HAS TWENTY-ONE (21) DAYS TO CONSIDER THIS RELEASE BEFORE SIGNING IT;

(C) EMPLOYEE HAS SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER SIGNING THIS RELEASE TO REVOKE THIS RELEASE, AND THIS RELEASE WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THAT REVOCATION PERIOD; AND

(D) BY SIGNING THIS RELEASE, EMPLOYEE SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EMPLOYEE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS OR CLAIMS ARISING UP TO AND THROUGH THE DATE OF EXECUTION UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967.

If Employee wishes to revoke his acceptance of this Release, Employee must deliver such notice in writing, no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the 7th day following his signature to Kathy Smith, Vice President Human Resources, at k.smith@digitalrealty.com by e-mail. If Employee does not revoke acceptance of this Release within the seven (7) day period, Employee's acceptance of this Agreement shall become binding and enforceable on the eighth day following the date Employee executed this Release.

Employee represents and warrants that there has been no assignment or other transfer of any interest in any Claim which Employee may have against the Releasees, or any of them, and Employee agrees to indemnify and hold the Releasees, and each of them, harmless from any liability, Claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees incurred by the Releasees, or any of them, as the result of any such assignment or transfer of any rights or Claims. It is the intention of the parties that this indemnity does



not require payment as a condition precedent to recovery by the Releasees against Employee under this indemnity.

Employee represents that Employee has no lawsuits, Claims, or actions pending in Employee’s name, or on behalf of Employee or any other person or entity, against any of the Releases. Employee agrees that Employee will not voluntarily provide assistance, information, or advice, directly or indirectly (including through agents or attorneys), to any person or entity in connection with any actual or potential Claim or cause of action of any kind against the Releases and that Employee shall not induce or encourage any person or entity to do so, unless compelled or authorized to do so by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee retains the right to file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and equivalent state and local agencies, and to cooperate with investigations by any such agency.

Employee acknowledges and represents that Employee has not suffered any discrimination or harassment by any of the Releaseses on account of race, gender, national origin, religion, marital or registered domestic partner status, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, medical condition, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. Employee acknowledges and represents that Employee has not been denied any leave, benefits, or rights to which Employee may have been entitled under the FMLA or any other federal or state law, and that Employee has not suffered any job-related wrongs or injuries for which Employee might be entitled to compensation or relief. Employee further acknowledges and represents that, other than the benefits that will be provided to Employee pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Employee has been paid all wages, bonuses, compensation, benefits, and other amounts that any of the Releaseses has ever owed to Employee, and Employee is not entitled to any additional compensation, severance, or benefits after the date hereof, with the sole exception of any benefit the right to which has vested under the express terms of a Company benefit plan document. Employee represents and warrants that all of the factual representations made herein are true in all material respects.

In addition, Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee is bound by certain covenants and provisions set forth in the Severance Agreement as well as in the Employee Confidentiality and Covenant Agreement (“ECCA”) and Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement (“PIIAA”), if any, and that such covenants and provisions shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Severance Agreement, ECCA, and PIIAA.
