“§5.3  Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.  In the event that Real Estate of a Subsidiary of Parent Borrower is included in the Unencumbered Asset Pool in accordance with the terms hereof, Parent Borrower shall cause each such Subsidiary (and any entity having an interest in such Subsidiary of Parent Borrower) to execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary (and any such entity) shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guaranty.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Subsidiary or other such

 

5

 

entity which becomes an obligor pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or any agreement evidencing other Unsecured Debt shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guaranty.  Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to be a Guarantor under the Guaranty.  Parent Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary.  In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of Coresite Real Estate 1656 McCarthy, L.L.C. (“Coresite McCarthy”), Coresite Real Estate 2901 Coronado, L.L.C. (“Coresite 2901”) and Coresite Real Estate 900 N. Alameda, L.L.C. (“Coresite 900”) may transfer any Eligible Real Estate currently owned by such entities to any Subsidiary of such entities, and upon any such transfer, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the terms and documentation required under this Section 5.3.

 

§5.4  Release of Certain Subsidiary Guarantors. In the event that all Eligible Real Estate Assets owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been released from the Unencumbered Asset Pool in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and from the Revolver Unencumbered Asset Pool or any other borrowing base or asset pool under any other Unsecured Debt, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement or any agreement evidencing other Unsecured Debt, as applicable, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released by the Agent from liability under the Guaranty.  In addition to the foregoing, upon the transfer of any Eligible Real Estate owned by any of Coresite McCarthy, Coresite 2901 or Coresite 900 to a Subsidiary of any of such entities as provided in Section 5.3 above, upon the joinder of such Subsidiary as a Subsidiary Guarantor as provided pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3 above, Coresite McCarthy, Coresite 2901 or Coresite 900, as applicable, shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty and shall no longer be a Subsidiary Guarantor.”

 

9.             Amendments to Representations and Warranties.

To the knowledge of Parent Borrower, Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective officers, employees, directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects.  No Loan, use of the proceeds of any Loan, or other transactions contemplated hereby will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions.  Neither the making of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Patriot Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto or successor statute thereto.  Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with the Patriot Act.”
