Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer. In order for DLR to qualify as a REIT under the Code, its stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Also, not more than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities such as qualified pension plans) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). DLR’s charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of the common stock, preferred stock and capital stock that are intended to assist DLR in complying with these requirements and continuing to qualify as a Table of Contents REIT. The Depositary Shares evidenced by this Depositary Receipt are relevant sections of the charter provide that, subject to the exceptions described below, no person or entity may beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of the common stock or of any series of preferred stock, or more than 9.8% of the value of DLR’s outstanding capital stock. DLR refers to these restrictions as the “common stock ownership limit,” the “preferred stock ownership limit” and the “aggregate stock ownership limit,” respectively. A person or entity that becomes subject to one of the ownership limits by virtue of a violative transfer that results in a transfer to a trust, as set forth below, is referred to as a “purported beneficial transferee” if, had the violative transfer been effective, the person or entity would have been a record owner and beneficial owner or solely a beneficial owner of the common stock, any series of preferred stock, or the capital stock, as applicable, or is referred to as a “purported record transferee” if, had the violative transfer been effective, the person or entity would have been solely a record owner of the common stock, any series of the preferred stock, or the capital stock, as applicable. The constructive ownership rules under the Code are complex and may cause stock owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals and/or entities to be owned constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of the common stock or any series of the preferred stock or less than 9.8% of the value of the outstanding capital stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, DLR’s capital stock) by an individual or entity could, nevertheless, cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own constructively more than 9.8% of the outstanding common stock or a series of the preferred stock or capital stock, as applicable, and thereby subject such stock to the applicable ownership limit. The DLR board may, in its sole discretion waive, prospectively or retroactively, the common stock ownership limit or aggregate stock ownership limit with respect to a particular stockholder if it: • determines that such waiver will not cause any individual’s beneficial ownership of shares of DLR’s capital stock to violate the aggregate stock ownership limit and that any exemption from the applicable ownership limit will not jeopardize DLR’s status as a REIT; and • determines that such stockholder does not and will not own, actually or constructively, an interest in a tenant of DLR that would cause DLR to own, actually or constructively, more than a 9.8% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant or that any such ownership would not cause DLR to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code. The DLR board may also, in its sole discretion waive, prospectively or retroactively, the preferred stock ownership limit with respect to a particular stockholder if it determines that such waiver will not: (1) cause any individual’s beneficial ownership of shares of DLR’s capital stock to violate the aggregate stock ownership limit, or (2) jeopardize DLR’s status as a REIT. In connection with a waiver of an ownership limit or at any other time, the DLR board may increase the applicable ownership limit for one or more persons and decrease the applicable ownership limit for all other persons and entities; provided, however, that the decreased ownership limit will not be effective for any person or entity whose percentage ownership in the common stock, any series of the preferred stock or capital stock, as applicable, exceeds the decreased ownership limit until such time as such person or entity’s percentage ownership equals or falls below the decreased ownership limit; but any further acquisition of the common, preferred or capital stock, as applicable, in excess of such percentage ownership will be in violation of the applicable ownership limit. Additionally, the new ownership limit, as applicable, may not allow five or fewer stockholders to beneficially own more than 49% in value of DLR’s outstanding capital stock. Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of shares of DLR’s stock that will or may violate any of the foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership for will be required to give notice immediately to DLR and provide it with such other information as it may request in order to determine the purpose effect of the Company’s maintenance of such transfer on its status as a real estate investment trust under REIT. The foregoing provisions on transferability and Table of Contents ownership will not apply if the Internal Revenue Code of 1986DLR board determines that it is no longer in DLR’s best interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as amendeda REIT. Except Pursuant to DLR’s charter, if any purported transfer of DLR’s stock or any other event would otherwise result in any person violating the ownership limits or such other limit as established by the DLR board or would result in DLR’s being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise provided pursuant failing to qualify as a REIT, then that number of shares in excess of the applicable ownership limit or causing DLR to be “closely held” or otherwise to fail to qualify as a REIT (rounded up to the Charter nearest whole share) will be automatically transferred to, and held by, a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable organizations selected by DLR and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such shares. The automatic transfer will be effective as of the Companyclose of business on the business day prior to the date of the violative transfer or other event that results in the transfer to the trust. Any dividend or other distribution paid to the purported record transferee, prior to DLR’s discovery that the shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as described above, must be repaid to the trustee upon demand for distribution to the beneficiary of the trust, and the trustee may reduce the amount payable to the purported record transferee upon the sale of the shares transferred to the trustee (as described below) by the amount of any such dividends or other distributions which have not been repaid to the trustee. If the transfer to the trust as described above is not automatically effective, for any reason, to prevent a violation of the applicable ownership limit or the DLR’s being “closely held” or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, then the charter provides that the transfer of the shares in excess of the ownership limit will be void. If any transfer would result in shares of DLR’s stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, then any such purported transfer will be void and of no force or effect and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in the shares. Shares of DLR’s stock transferred to the trustee are deemed offered for sale to DLR, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (1) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Depositary Shares representing Class N Preferred Stock the price paid by the purported record transferee for the shares (or, if the event which resulted in excess the transfer to the trust did not involve a purchase of (a) 100% such shares of DLR’s stock at market price, the last sales price reported on the NYSE on the trading day immediately preceding the day of the number event which resulted in the transfer of then outstanding such shares of Class N Preferred Stock or (bDLR’s stock to the trust) if fewer, the maximum number of shares of Class N Preferred Stock that, if then converted by the holder into Common Stock, would make such holder or any other Person the owner of a number of shares of Common Stock that would not exceed (x) the Ownership Limit applicable to shares of Common Stock as set forth in Article IV(B)(4) of the Charter or (y) if any Excepted Holder Limit has been created for such holder or other Person with respect to shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article IV(B)(4) of the Charter, such Excepted Holder Limit and (2) no Personthe market price on the date DLR, other than an Excepted Holder who is not considered an individual or its designee, accepts such offer. DLR may reduce the amount payable to the purported record transferee by the amount of dividends and distributions which have been paid to the purported record transferee and are owed by the purported record transferee to the trustee. DLR will pay the amount of such reduction to the trustee for purposes of Section 542(a)(2) the benefit of the Code, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Depositary Shares representing charitable beneficiary. DLR has the right to accept such offer until the trustee has sold the shares of Class N Preferred Stock DLR’s stock held in the trust pursuant to the clauses discussed below. Upon a sale DLR, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold terminates and the trustee must distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the purported record transferee and any dividends or other distributions held by the trustee with respect to such that stock will be paid to the charitable beneficiary. If DLR does not buy the shares, the trustee must, within 20 days of receiving notice from DLR of the transfer of shares to the trust, sell the shares to a person or entity designated by the trustee who could own the shares without violating the common stock ownership limit or the preferred stock ownership limit, as applicable, and the aggregate stock ownership limit or such Person would Beneficially Own other limit as established by the DLR board. After that, the trustee must distribute to the purported record transferee an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the price paid by the purported record transferee or Constructively Own Capital Stock owner for the shares (or, if the event which resulted in the transfer to the trust did not involve a purchase of such shares at market price, the last sales price reported on the NYSE on the trading day immediately preceding the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of such shares of DLR’s stock to the trust) and (2) the sales proceeds (net of commissions and other expenses of sale) received by the trustee for the shares. The trustee may reduce the amount payable to the purported record transferee by the amount of dividends and distributions which have been paid to the purported record transferee and are owed by the purported record transferee to the trustee. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limitamount payable to the purported record transferee will be immediately paid to the charitable beneficiary, together with any dividends or other distributions thereon.

Any beneficial owner or constructive owner of shares of DLR’s stock and any person or entity (including the stockholder of record) who is holding shares of DLR’s stock for a beneficial owner must, on request, provide DLR with a completed questionnaire containing the information regarding the ownership of such shares, as set forth in the applicable Treasury Regulations.
