 GUARANTY 
 Project Commonly Known as 
 “Data Center Facility, CH1, Elk Grove Village, Illinois” 
 THIS GUARANTY
(“Guaranty”) made as of December 20, 2007, by DUPONT FABROS TECHNOLOGY, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (“Guarantor”), to and for the benefit of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“KeyBank”), a
national banking association, as Agent (“Agent”), and KeyBank and the other lenders now or hereafter a party to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the “Lenders”) (Agent and the Lenders, and their
successors and assigns, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Credit Parties”). 
 R E C I T A L S 

 A. On or about the date hereof, Tarantula Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), Agent and the
Lenders entered into that certain Construction Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) whereby the Lenders agreed to make a secured construction loan (the “Loan”) available to Borrower in the maximum aggregate amount
at any time outstanding not to exceed the sum of One Hundred Forty-Eight Million Eight Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Five and no/100 Dollars ($148,864,335.00), to finance the development and construction of a data center facility
to consist when fully completed of approximately 485,000 gross square feet, and 211,140 raised square feet with a critical load of 36.4 megawatts (the first phase will consist of approximately 121,223 raised square feet with a critical load of 18.2
megawatts) (the “Project”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement. 
 B. In connection with the Loan, Borrower has executed and delivered the Notes in favor of Lenders, payment of which is secured by (i) the Mortgage, and (ii) the other Loan Documents. 
 C. Guarantor will derive material financial benefit from the Loan evidenced and secured by the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

 D. The Credit Parties have relied on the statements and agreements contained herein in agreeing to make the Loan. The execution and
delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan by Lenders. 
 AGREEMENTS 

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, Guarantor, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are
incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Credit Parties and their respective successors,
indorsees, transferees, participants and assigns as follows: 
 1. Guarantor, absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guarantees:

 (a) subject to the terms of Section 22 below, (a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes when
due, whether at stated maturity, upon 

 
acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the full and prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing
under the Notes, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 
 (b) the full, complete and punctual observance, performance and
satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants and agreements of Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Construction and completion of the Project free of any claim for mechanics’,
materialmen’s or any other liens, and in accordance with (i) all Laws, (ii) the Plans and Specifications and (iii) the time periods and other requirements set forth in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the
following: 
 (A) To perform, complete and pay for (or cause to be performed, completed and paid for) the Construction and to pay all costs
of said Construction (including any and all cost overruns) and all other costs associated with the Project (including, without limitation, the costs of any architects’ and engineers’ fees), if Borrower shall fail to perform, complete or
pay for such work, including any sums expended in excess of the amount of indebtedness incurred by Borrower under the Loan Agreement or with respect to the Loan, whether or not the Construction is actually completed; 
 (B) If the Credit Parties exercise their right under Section 20.1(a) of the Loan Agreement to take possession of the Project and complete
the Construction, to reimburse the Credit Parties for all costs and expenses incurred by the Credit Parties in excess of the applicable Budget Line Items therefor (if any) in so taking possession of the Project and completing the Construction
pursuant to the Plans and Specifications; 
 (C) If any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens should be filed, or should attach, with
respect to the Project by reason of the Construction, to promptly cause the removal of such liens, or post security against the consequences of their possible foreclosure and procure an endorsement(s) to the title policy insuring the Credit Parties
against the consequences of the foreclosure or enforcement of such lien(s); 
 (D) If any chattel mortgages, conditional vendor’s liens
or any liens, encumbrances or security interests whatsoever should be filed, or should attach, with respect to the personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon the Project and owned by Borrower, attached to the Project or
used in connection with the construction of the Improvements, to promptly cause the removal of such lien(s) or post security against the consequences of their possible foreclosure and procure an endorsement(s) to the title policy insuring the Credit
Parties against the consequences of the foreclosure or enforcement of such lien(s); and 
 (E) To pay the premiums for all policies of
insurance required to be furnished by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement during the Construction if such premiums are not paid by Borrower; 
 (c) Borrower’s obligation to keep the Loan In Balance (as more particularly defined and described in Article 11 of the Loan Agreement) and the full and prompt payment of all Deficiency Deposits; 
  

 2 

 (d) the full, complete and punctual observance, performance and satisfaction of all of the other
obligations, duties, covenants and agreements of Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents; and 
 (e) the full and prompt
payment of any Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Section 7 hereof). 
 All amounts due, debts, liabilities, payment
obligations and other obligations described in subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 1 are referred to herein as the “Obligations.” 
 2. In the event of any default by Borrower in the payment or performance of the Obligations and the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period, Guarantor agrees, on demand by Agent or the Credit Parties (which
demand may be made concurrently with notice to Borrower that Borrower is in default of its obligations), to pay and perform all the Obligations regardless of any defense, right of setoff or claims which Borrower or Guarantor may have against any of
the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall have the right, at their option, either before, during or after commencing foreclosure or sale proceedings, as the case may be, and before, during or after pursuing any other right or remedy against
Borrower or Guarantor, to perform any and all of the Obligations by or through any agent, contractor or subcontractor of its selection, all as the Credit Parties in their sole discretion deem proper, and Guarantor shall indemnify and hold the Credit
Parties free and harmless of, and against any and all loss, damage, cost, expense, injury, or liability the Credit Parties may suffer or incur in connection with the exercise of their rights under this Guaranty or the performance of the Obligations.
Furthermore, the Credit Parties shall not have any obligation to protect or insure any collateral for the Loan, nor shall the Credit Parties have any obligation to perfect their security interest in any collateral for the Loan. 
 During the course of any construction undertaken by the Credit Parties or any other party on behalf of the Credit Parties in accordance with the terms of
this Guaranty, Guarantor shall pay on demand any amounts due to contractors, Subcontractors, and material suppliers and for permits and licenses necessary or desirable in connection therewith. Guarantor’s obligations in connection with such
work shall not be affected by any errors or omissions of the General Contractor, Architect, Engineer, Lender’s Consultant or any Subcontractor or agent or employee of any of the foregoing in the design, supervision, and performance of the work;
it being understood that such risk is assumed by Guarantor. Neither the completion of the Construction nor failure of said party to complete the Construction shall relieve Guarantor of any liabilities hereunder; rather, such liability shall be
continuing and may be enforced by the Credit Parties to the end that the Construction shall be timely completed, lien-free, without loss, cost, expense, injury or liability of any kind to the Credit Parties. 
 All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided for in any of the Loan Documents or at law or equity shall be available to the Credit Parties, and
the choice by the Credit Parties of one such alternative over another shall not be subject to question or challenge by Guarantor or any other Person, nor shall any such choice be asserted as a defense, setoff, or failure to mitigate damages in any
action, proceeding, or counteraction by the Credit Parties to recover or seeking any other remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice preclude the Credit Parties from subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy. The parties have
agreed to the alternative remedies hereinabove specified in part because they recognize that the choice of remedies in the 

  

 3 

 
event of a failure hereunder will necessarily be and should properly be a matter of good faith business judgment, which the passage of time and events may or
may not prove to have been the best choice to maximize recovery by the Credit Parties at the lowest cost to Borrower and/or Guarantor. It is the intention of the parties that such good faith choice by the Credit Parties be given conclusive effect
regardless of such subsequent developments. 
 3. Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be affected or impaired
by, and hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based on: 
 (a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate
or due date or other term of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the
departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any obligations hereby guaranteed, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition,
or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the obligations hereby guaranteed or any
other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any obligations hereby guaranteed or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing; 
 (b) any subordination of the payment of the obligations hereby guaranteed to the payment of any other liability of Borrower or any other person; 
 (c) any act or failure to act by Borrower or any other Person which may adversely affect Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against Borrower or
any other Person to recover payments made under this Guaranty; 
 (d) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other lien
on any collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the obligations hereby guaranteed or any failure on the part of the Credit Parties to ascertain the extent or nature of any collateral or any insurance or other rights with respect thereto, or
the liability of any party liable under the Loan Documents or the obligations evidenced or secured thereby; 
 (e) any application of sums
paid by Borrower or any other Person with respect to the Obligations, regardless of what liabilities of Borrower remain unpaid; 
 (f) any
defense of Borrower, including without limitation, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations; 
 (g) either
with or without notice to Guarantor, any renewal, extension, modification, amendment or another changes in the Obligations, including but not limited to any material alteration of the terms of payment or performance of the Obligations; 

(h) any statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection of the Notes or for the payment or performance of any obligation hereby
guaranteed; 
 (i) the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of Borrower or any other Person or entity, or the failure of the
Credit Parties to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or in any other proceeding) of Borrower or Guarantor or any other Person; 
  

 4 

 (j) the dissolution or termination of existence of Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person; 

(k) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor or any
other Person; 
 (l) the voluntary or involuntary receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
reorganization, assignment, composition, or readjustment of, or any similar proceeding affecting, Borrower or Guarantor or any other Person, or any of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s or any other Person’s properties or assets; 

(m) an assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of
Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be
interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Credit Parties to enforce any of their rights, whether now or hereafter required, which the Credit Parties may have against Guarantor or any collateral for the Loan;

 (n) any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor; 
 (o) the damage, destruction, condemnation, foreclosure or surrender of all or any part of any collateral or the Project or any of the improvements
located thereon; 
 (p) the failure of the Credit Parties to give notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional
indebtedness or obligation of Borrower or of any action or nonaction on the part of any other person whomsoever in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed; 
 (q) any failure or delay of the Credit Parties to commence an action against Borrower or any other Person, to assert or enforce any remedies against Borrower under the Notes or the other Loan Documents, or to realize
upon any security; 
 (r) any failure of any duty on the part of the Credit Parties to disclose to Guarantor any facts they may now or
hereafter know regarding Borrower (including, without limitation Borrower’s financial condition), any other person or entity, any collateral, or any other assets or liabilities of such person or entity, whether such facts materially increase
the risk to Guarantor or not (it being agreed that Guarantor assume responsibility for being informed with respect to such information); 
 (s) failure to accept or give notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Credit Parties; 
 (t) failure to make or give notice of
presentment and demand for payment of any of the indebtedness or performance of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed; 
  

 5 

 (u) failure to make or give protest and notice of dishonor or of default to Guarantor or to any other
party with respect to the indebtedness or performance of obligations hereby guaranteed; 
 (v) any and all other notices whatsoever to which
Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; 
 (w) any lack of diligence by the Credit Parties in collection, protection or realization upon any
collateral securing the payment of the indebtedness or performance of obligations hereby guaranteed; 
 (x) the invalidity or
unenforceability of the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any assignment or transfer of the foregoing; 
 (y) the compromise,
settlement, release or termination of any or all of the obligations of Borrower under the Notes or the other Loan Documents; 
 (z) any
transfer by Borrower or any other Person of all or any part of the security encumbered by the Loan Documents; 
 (aa) any right to require
the Credit Parties to proceed against Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by the Credit Parties at any time or to pursue any other remedy in the Credit Parties’ power or under any other agreement
before proceeding against Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 
 (bb) the failure of the Credit Parties to perfect any
security or to extend or renew the perfection of any security; 
 (cc) any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or
might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty; 
 (dd) any inaccuracy of any representation or other provision
contained in any Loan Document; 
 (ee) any sale or assignment of the Loan Documents, or any interest therein; 
 (ff) any and all rights, benefits and defenses which might otherwise be available under the provisions of any other applicable statues, rules or common
law principals or provisions which might operate to limit Guarantor’s liability under, or the enforcement of, this Guaranty; or 
 (gg)
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other legal, equitable or surety defenses whatsoever to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled, it being the intention that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable. 
 Guarantor understands that the exercise by the Credit Parties of certain rights and remedies may affect or eliminate
Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Borrower and that Guarantor may therefore incur partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Credit Parties, their successors,

  

 6 

 
endorsees and assigns, to exercise in its or their sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available,
including, without limitation, any remedies against Borrower with respect to the Notes, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. 
 4. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that the Credit Parties may at any time, and from time to time, without thereby
releasing Guarantor from any liability hereunder and without notice to or further consent from Guarantor or any other Person, either with or without consideration: release or surrender any lien or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held
by them or by any person, firm or corporation on their behalf or for their account, securing any indebtedness or liability hereby guaranteed; substitute for any collateral so held by them, other collateral of like kind, or of any kind; modify the
terms of the Notes or the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Notes for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Notes or the Loan Documents and to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or
hereunder; release any other guarantor, surety, endorser or accommodation party of the Notes or any other Loan Document; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which the Credit Parties shall take or fail to take in
connection with the Notes or the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the indebtedness of Borrower to the Credit Parties or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Borrower or Guarantor, nor any course
of dealing with Borrower or any other Person, shall release Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way or afford Guarantor any recourse against the Credit Parties. The provisions of this Guaranty shall extend and be
applicable to all replacements, supplements, renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations, restatements and modifications of the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and any and all references herein to the Notes and the other Loan Documents
shall be deemed to include any such replacements, supplements, renewals, extensions, amendments, consolidations, restatements or modifications thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor acknowledges the terms of
Section 24.1(c) of the Loan Agreement and agree that this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to each new or replacement note delivered by Borrower pursuant thereto without notice to or further consent from Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges
that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Credit Parties. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Credit Parties except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed
and delivered by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement. 
 5. This is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of
payment, performance and completion and not of collection. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Credit Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral given in connection
herewith or with the Notes, Loan Agreement, Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents through foreclosure or sale proceedings, as the case may be, under the Mortgage or otherwise, or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives
any right to require the Credit Parties to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees
that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Credit Parties from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under the Notes, Loan Agreement, Mortgage or any other Loan
Documents, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion 

  

 7 

 
of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. None of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired,
modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under the Notes, Loan Agreement, Mortgage or other Loan Documents or by reason of the bankruptcy of
Borrower or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable
pursuant to the Notes, Loan Agreement, Mortgage or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the Credit Parties upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of Borrower, or upon or
as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment to the Credit Parties had not been
made, regardless of whether the Credit Parties contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In the event of the foreclosure of the Mortgage and of a deficiency, Guarantor hereby promises and agrees forthwith to pay the amount of such
deficiency notwithstanding the fact that recovery of said deficiency against Borrower would not be allowed by applicable law; however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to require that the Credit Parties institute foreclosure proceedings or
otherwise resort to or exhaust any other collateral or security prior to or concurrently with enforcing this Guaranty. 
 6. In the event any
Credit Party or any holder of the Notes shall assign a Note to any other Credit Party or other entity to secure a loan from such Credit Party or other entity to any Credit Party or such holder for an amount not in excess of the amount which will be
due, from time to time, from Borrower to such Credit Party under such Note with interest not in excess of the rate of interest which is payable by Borrower to such Credit Party under such Note, Guarantor will accord full recognition thereto and
agree that all rights and remedies of such Credit Party or such holder hereunder shall be enforceable against Guarantor by such Credit Party or other entity with the same force and effect and to the same extent as would have been enforceable by such
Credit Party or such holder but for such assignment; provided, however, that unless such Credit Party shall otherwise consent in writing, such Credit Party shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of its assignee or transferee, to
enforce this Guaranty for the Credit Parties’ benefit to the extent any portion of the Indebtedness or any interest therein is not assigned or transferred. 
 7. If: (a) this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent the Credit Parties in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty; (c) an attorney is retained to provide advice or other representation with respect to this Guaranty; or (d) an
attorney is retained to represent any one or more of the Credit Parties in any proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty and the Credit Parties prevail in any such proceedings, then Guarantor shall pay to the Credit Parties upon demand
all attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of
such Enforcement Costs are incurred in a single proceeding brought to enforce this Guaranty as well as the other Loan Documents. 
  

 8 

 8. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all
applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state
or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written,
then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such
illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Credit Parties or the holder of the Notes under the remainder of this Guaranty shall
continue in full force and effect. 
 9. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO
REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY THE CREDIT PARTIES. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), THE CREDIT PARTIES AND GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVE ANY CLAIM THAT ANY
PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL PRECLUDE THE CREDIT PARTIES FROM
BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE CREDIT PARTIES AND GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREE AND CONSENT THAT,
IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY ILLINOIS STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL,
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF SUCH PARTY SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE
(5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED. 
 10. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing is
hereby subordinated to the payment and performance of the Obligations. Guarantor agrees that, until the entire Indebtedness has been paid in full and all other Obligations have been paid and performed, Guarantor will not seek, accept, or retain for
its own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt. Any payments to Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for the Credit Parties and shall be paid over to
the Credit Parties on account of the Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor will not, by paying any sum recoverable 

  

 9 

 
hereunder (whether or not demanded by the Credit Parties) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against Borrower in
respect of any liability of Guarantor to Borrower or, in proceedings under federal bankruptcy law or insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with the Credit Parties in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the
benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any of the Obligations hereby guaranteed which, now or hereafter, the Credit Parties may hold or in which they
may have any share. Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right of contribution from or indemnity against Borrower, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and Guarantor
acknowledges that Guarantor has no right whatsoever to proceed against Borrower or for reimbursement of any such payments. In connection with the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to the Credit Parties against
Borrower, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which the Credit Parties may have against Borrower and any rights to participate in any collateral for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 11. Any amounts received by the Credit Parties from any source on account of the Loan may be utilized by the Credit Parties for the payment and
performance of the Obligations and in such order as the Credit Parties may from time to time elect. Additionally, if the Obligations guaranteed hereby are less than the full indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, all rents, proceeds and avails of the
Project, including proceeds of realization of the Credit Parties’ collateral and all other payments and collections, shall be deemed applied on the indebtedness of Borrower to the Credit Parties that is not guaranteed by Guarantor until such
unguaranteed Obligations of Borrower to the Credit Parties has been fully repaid before being applied upon the Obligations guaranteed by Guarantor. 
 12. GUARANTOR AND THE CREDIT PARTIES (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT UNDER THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR RELATING
THERETO OR ARISING FROM THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS GUARANTY AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. 
 13. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), three Business Days after mailing; (c) if by Federal Express
or other reliable overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after delivered to such courier service; or (d) if by telecopier on the day of transmission so long as copy is sent on the same day by overnight courier as set forth below:

 (f) Except as disclosed in writing to the Credit Parties, there is no action, proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor,
threatened or affecting any Guarantor, which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty. There are no judgments or orders for the payment of money rendered against Guarantor for an amount in
excess of $1,000,000 which have been undischarged for a period of ten (10) or more consecutive days and the enforcement of which is not stayed by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise. Guarantor is not in default under any agreements which
may materially adversely affect such Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty. 
 (g) All statements set forth
in the Recitals are true and correct. 
 All of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed remade on the date of the first
disbursement of Loan proceeds, on the date of each advance of Loan proceeds, and upon any extension of the Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Credit Parties free and harmless from and against all
loss, cost, liability, damage, and expense, including attorney’s fees and costs, which the Credit Parties may sustain by reason of the inaccuracy or breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties as of the date the foregoing
representations and warranties are made and are remade. 
 15. Guarantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Credit Parties all of
the Guarantor’s financial statements to be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. 
 16. This Guaranty shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of Guarantor and shall not be discharged in whole or in part by the death or the dissolution of any principal in Guarantor. Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Credit Parties. If more than one party executes this Guaranty, the liability of all such parties shall be joint and several.

 16Letter Agreement by and between the Company and Robert Essner

 Exhibit 10.1 
 Execution Copy 
 December 20, 2007 
 Mr. Robert Essner 
 Wyeth 
 Five Giralda Farms 
 Madison, NJ 07940 
 Dear Bob: 
 This letter agreement is to confirm our mutual understanding and agreement regarding the succession arrangements to be
made in connection with your announced retirement from Wyeth (the “Company”) and your resignation as Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective as of close of business on December 31, 2007. For these purposes, reference
is made to your employment agreement with the Company dated as of January 25, 2007 (your “Employment Agreement”). Capitalized terms, not otherwise defined in this letter agreement, shall continue to have the meaning set forth
in the Employment Agreement. Should your employment terminate for any reason prior to the close of business on December 31, 2007, this letter agreement (other than Appendix A) will be of no force and effect and the Employment Agreement without
regard to this letter agreement (other than Appendix A) will control. 
 Effective as of the date you sign this letter agreement where
indicated below, your Employment Agreement will be deemed amended to reflect the provisions of this letter agreement. To that end, first, in connection with your announced retirement and the Company’s succession planning, you hereby irrevocably
agree that none of the announcement of your successor as Chief Executive Officer, any actions taken by the Company following such announcement in furtherance of the succession planning, nor any of the provisions of this letter agreement, shall at
any time hereafter constitute a basis for your claiming “Good Reason” for any purpose under your Employment Agreement. 
 Second,
you and the Company hereby agree that: 
  

	 	(a)	Effective as of the close of business on December 31, 2007, you shall resign from your position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and from all boards of directors of
any subsidiaries of the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	Effective as of the close of business on December 31, 2007, you will continue to be an employee of the Company and to serve as the Chairman of the Board until December 31,
2008 (or until such earlier date as your employment may terminate, for any reason) (such period of employment, the “Transition Period”). 

  

	 	(c)	During the Transition Period, your duties and responsibilities will be those customarily performed by the Chairman of the Board and as are reasonably requested by the Board to aid
in the transition of your named successor as Chief Executive Officer. 

 2 
  

	 	(d)	During the Transition Period: (1) your Base Salary shall remain $1,728,500 for all purposes under your Employment Agreement; (2) you shall continue to be entitled to earn
an annual bonus in respect of 2007 consistent with your position within the Company during such year, to be paid in 2008 at the same time as 2007 annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives (the “2007 Bonus”); and
(3) you shall be entitled to earn an annual bonus in respect of 2008 (the “2008 Bonus”) consistent with your position within the Company during such year, provided that such bonus will be no less than the greater of
(x) the 2007 Bonus and (y) the annual bonus paid to you in 2007 in respect of 2006. The 2008 Bonus shall be paid in 2009 when 2008 annual bonuses are otherwise paid to other senior executives and shall be subject to pro-ration on account
of a termination of employment prior to December 31, 2008, as described in paragraph (f) below. Your equity incentive award for 2008 shall be determined and will be made by the Compensation Committee at its meeting in April, 2008 at which
such awards are made to senior executives. 

  

	 	(e)	During the Transition Period, only thirty (30) days’ advance written notice (unless otherwise waived by the other party) will be required to be given by either you or the
Company to terminate your employment for any reason (other than on account of Cause, your death or the expiration of the Transition Period on December 31, 2008, in each such case, no notice will be required). 

  

	 	(f)	If your employment terminates during the Transition Period for any reason (other than for Cause) or upon the expiration of the Transition Period on December 31, 2008, you shall
be entitled to receive the payments and benefits provided for in Section 5(f)(i) and 5(f)(ii) of your Employment Agreement, except that, in lieu of the payment of a pro-rated bonus as provided for in Section 5(f)(ii)(B) of your
Employment Agreement, you shall instead be entitled to a payment of a portion of the 2008 Bonus, prorated by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that you were employed in 2008 and the denominator of which is 365 (the
“Prorated 2008 Bonus Amount”), payable in 2009 when 2008 annual bonuses are otherwise paid to the Company’s senior-most executives. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that, effective on the close of business on
December 31, 2007, you shall not be entitled to receive any of the payments or benefits provided in Section 5(f)(iii) of your Employment Agreement. In addition, if the Company terminates your employment after December 31, 2007 without
Cause upon fewer than thirty days’ advance written notice, you shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the Base Salary and the Prorated 2008 Bonus Amount you would have received had you remained employed with the Company through the
expiration of such thirty-day notice period. 

  

	 	(g)	The Severance Agreement shall only apply and supersede the Employment Agreement, as provided in Section 13(b) of the Employment Agreement, if a Change in Control occurs while
you are still employed with the Company. 

 3 
  

 Your Employment Agreement is also hereby amended effective as of the date you sign this letter agreement
to reflect the changes set forth in Appendix A of this letter agreement (which changes are necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code). 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that you will continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 6 (Non-Competition), Section 7 (Litigation Assistance), Section 8
(Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality), Section 9 (Return of Documents and Company Property), and Section 10 (Enforcement of Covenants), in each case of the Employment Agreement, in accordance with their terms as
currently in effect. The provisions of Section 11 (Assumption of Agreement), Section 12 (Indemnification) and Section 14 (Miscellaneous) of your Employment Agreement are incorporated by reference into this letter
agreement and made a part hereof. 
 The Employment Agreement (subject to the terms of Section 13(b) of the Employment Agreement), as
amended by this letter agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among you and the Company with respect to the subject matter contained therein and herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, discussions, understandings and
negotiations, whether written or oral, with respect thereto. 
 The Company agrees that it will consult with you as to the content of any
proposed press release related to this letter agreement or the actions contemplated hereby. 
 Please acknowledge your agreement to the
foregoing amendments to your Employment Agreement, and to the other provisions of this letter agreement, by signing where indicated below and returning a copy of such executed letter agreement to me. 
 Bob, on behalf of the entire Board, let me extend our great appreciation and respect for you and all of your contributions to Wyeth. 
  

	
	Sincerely,
	
	/s/ Ivan Seidenberg
	Ivan Seidenberg
	Chairman of the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of
	Wyeth

  

	
	Accepted and agreed this 20th day of December, 2007.

 Appendix A 
 Section 409A Compliance 
  

	(a)	For purposes of Section 5(f)(ii)(C) of your Employment Agreement, the timing of any payment of performance-based equity awards to which you are entitled shall only be made at
the time such payment is provided for under the terms of the applicable Equity Plans or agreements and shall not be accelerated in a manner which would be impermissible under Section 409A of the Code. 

  

	(b)	Payment due under Section 5(f)(iii)(A) of your Employment Agreement shall be paid on the sixty-fifth day following your Separation from Service Date (as defined below).

  

	(c)	Notwithstanding anything else contained in your Employment Agreement or this letter agreement, if, as of your Separation from Service Date, you are a Specified Employee (as defined
below) and entitled to receive payments and/or benefits under Section 5 of your Employment Agreement, then, except to the extent that the Employment Agreement (as amended by this letter agreement as applicable) does not provide for a
“deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the following shall apply: 

 (I) No payments shall be made and, except for the benefits described in Section 5(f)(ii)(E) of your Employment Agreement (subject to this paragraph (c)), no benefits shall be provided to you, in each case, during the six-month period
beginning on the Separation from Service Date or, if earlier, the date of your death (such six-month period, the “Delay Period”). 
 (II) With respect to the benefits described in Section 5(f)(ii)(E) of your Employment Agreement, during the Delay Period, you will reimburse the Company, on the last business day of each such month, for the
amount of any income imputed to you under applicable tax rules as a result of any benefits provided to you during all or any portion of such month. However, on the first business day of the first month following the month in which the Delay Period
ends, the Company will make a one-time, lump-sum cash payment to you in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amounts otherwise payable to you under the Employment Agreement during the Delay Period, (y) the reimbursement payments made by
you in accordance with this clause (II) above and (z) the amount of interest on the foregoing at the applicable federal rate for instruments of less than one year. 
 For purposes of the foregoing, “Separation from Service Date” shall mean the date of your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(i)(A) of the Code and
determined in accordance with the default rules under Section 409A of the Code. “Specified Employee” shall mean a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(1) of the Code, as determined in
accordance with the uniform methodology and procedures adopted by the Company and then in effect. 

 5 
  

	(d)	Section 14(d) of your Employment Agreement is hereby amended by adding to the end of such section the following: 

 “Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any reimbursement payable to the Executive pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement
or pursuant to any plan or arrangement of the Company covered by this Agreement shall be paid in accordance with the applicable terms thereof, except that any such reimbursement that constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code shall be paid no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred. No amount reimbursed during any calendar year shall affect the amounts eligible for
reimbursement in any other calendar year. This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to amounts subject thereto and shall be interpreted and construed and shall be performed by the parties
consistent with such intent.”
