Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein which are defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below shall have the same respective meanings herein as therein.
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2012 (as amended or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make Loans and participate in Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, the Borrower and NY 3, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower (“NY 3”), recently formed EQIX (Global Holdings) C.V., a Dutch limited partnership (the “Dutch C.V.”), such that, as of the date hereof, (a) the Borrower is the sole limited partner thereof and owns 99.5% of its Equity Interests, and (b) NY 3 is the sole general partner thereof and owns 0.5% of its Equity Interests;
WHEREAS, the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent that the Borrower proposes to effect an internal corporate restructuring whereby the Borrower will contribute 100% of the Equity Interests of Equinix (Luxembourg) Holdings S.à x.x., a Luxembourg limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) (“Lux HoldCo”) to the Dutch C.V. (the “Specified Restructuring”);
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Required Lenders consent to the Specified Restructuring under the Loan Documents and that the Administrative Agent release its Lien on the Equity Interests of Lux HoldCo prior to, or concurrently with, the completion of such Specified Restructuring;
WHEREAS, in consideration for such consent and release by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and NY 3 will pledge approximately (but no more than) 66% of the Equity Interests of the Dutch C.V. in favor of the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the Secured Obligations;
WHEREAS, in connection with the Specified Restructuring and the above-referenced pledge of the Equity Interests of the Dutch C.V., the Borrower, the Required Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent wish to amend certain provisions of each of the Credit Agreement and the Pledge and Security Agreement, in each case, as specifically set forth in this Amendment and on the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
§1. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. Subject to Section 4 below, and in reliance on the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth herein, pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement:
(a) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following defined terms in the appropriate alphabetical order:
““Corresponding Debt” has the meaning specified in Section 10.23.
“Parallel Debt” has the meaning specified in Section 10.23.
“Pledgor Subsidiary” has the meaning specified in Section 6.16.”
(b) The following defined term, appearing in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
““Loan Parties” means, collectively, the Borrower, each Guarantor and each Pledgor Subsidiary; provided, however, that each Pledgor Subsidiary shall be excluded from the term “Loan Parties” for purposes of such term’s use within (a) the definitions of “Intercompany Accounts”, “Loan Party Accounts Receivable”, “Material Domestic Subsidiary”, “Material Subsidiary”, “Net Loan Party Accounts Receivable” and “Real Property Lease Accounts”, and (b) Sections 4.01, 5.08, 5.17, 7.05(h), the last proviso of Section 7.05 and Section 9.10(a).”
(c) Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“ 6.16 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower may, from time to time, designate one or more Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (a) in no event may the Borrower designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such designation, either (i) the Attributable Asset Share of Equinix in all Unrestricted Subsidiaries exceeds 10% of the consolidated total assets of Equinix and its Subsidiaries (based on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of Equinix and its Subsidiaries delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 6.01(a) or (b) ), or (ii) the Attributable A/R Share of Equinix in all Unrestricted Subsidiaries exceeds 10% of the net accounts receivable of Equinix and its Subsidiaries (based on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of Equinix and its Subsidiaries delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 6.01(a) or (b)), and (b) no Subsidiary (i) that is or is required to become a Guarantor under Section 6.14, (ii) that is not and is not required to become a Guarantor under Section 6.14 but is or is required become a pledgor of the Equity Interests of a Pledged Subsidiary (hereinafter defined) (a “Pledgor Subsidiary”) under any Loan Document, or (iii) whose Equity
2
Interests are or are required to be pledged on or after the Closing Date (a “Pledged Subsidiary”) in favor of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document, as the case may be, may be an Unrestricted Subsidiary. As of the Closing Date, the Unrestricted Subsidiaries are set forth on Schedule 6.16. Any Subsidiary which has been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 6.16 may, at any time thereafter, be redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary by the Borrower; provided, however, that a Subsidiary that has been redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary as provided in this sentence may not thereafter be designated or redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.”
(e) Section 7.09 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“ 7.09 Burdensome Agreements. Enter into any Contractual Obligation (other than this Agreement or any other Loan Document) that (a) limits the ability (i) of any Material Domestic Subsidiary, Pledged Subsidiary or SDHI to make Restricted Payments to the Borrower, any Pledgor Subsidiary or any Guarantor or to otherwise transfer property to the Borrower, any Pledgor Subsidiary or any Guarantor, (ii) of any Material Domestic Subsidiary or any Pledgor Subsidiary to Guarantee the Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor or (iii) of the Borrower, any Pledgor Subsidiary or any Material Domestic Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Liens on property of such Person; provided, however, that, so long as the following do not violate Section 7.12, (A) none of the foregoing shall apply to restrictions and conditions imposed by applicable Laws (which (taken as a whole) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), (B) none of the foregoing shall apply to customary restrictions and conditions contained in agreements relating to the sale of the assets or Equity Interests permitted under Section 7.05 pending such sale, provided such restrictions and conditions apply only to the Person whose assets or Equity Interests are to be sold, (C) clauses (i) and (iii) shall not apply to restrictions or conditions imposed on specific assets which are the subject of any leases (including Capital Leases) or to customary provisions in leases (including Capital Leases) and other contracts restricting the assignment of such leases and other contracts, (D) clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not apply to the restrictions contained in the Senior Notes Indentures (as such restrictions are in effect on the date hereof) and (E) clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not apply to customary restrictions contained in the documentation relating to financings permitted hereunder, provided that such restrictions shall not restrict (x) any Loan Party’s or Material Domestic Subsidiary’s ability to grant Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties (or the Administrative Agent and Secured Party’s ability to enforce such Liens) under or in connection with the Loan Documents or (y) any Loan Party’s or Material Domestic Subsidiary’s ability to guarantee the Obligations; or (b) requires the grant of a Lien to secure an obligation of such Person if a Lien is granted to secure the Obligations, other than the requirements contained in the Senior Notes Indentures (as such requirements are in effect on the date hereof).”
3
(f) Section 10.02(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to replace the phrase “if to the Borrower, the Guarantors” with the phrase “if to the Borrower or any other Loan Party”.
(g) The following new Section 10.23 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement in proper numerical order:
“ 10.23 Parallel Debt (Dutch Collateral Documents). To grant the collateral security pursuant to the Collateral Documents governed by Dutch law to the Administrative Agent, each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance (bij voorbaat)) to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by such Loan Party to any Secured Party under any Loan Document as and when those amounts are due. Each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties acknowledge that the obligations of each Loan Party under this Section 10.23 are several and are separate and independent (eigen zelfstandige verplichtingen) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of that Loan Party to any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Loan Party is liable under this Section 10.23 (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that: (a) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; (b) the Corresponding Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and (c) the amount of the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Corresponding Debt. For the purpose of this Section 10.23, the Administrative Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, representative or trustee of any other Secured Party, and its claims in respect of each Parallel Debt shall not be held in trust. The collateral security granted under the Dutch law Collateral Documents to the Administrative Agent to secure each Parallel Debt is granted to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of each Parallel Debt. All monies received or recovered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.23, and all amounts received or recovered by the Administrative Agent from or by the enforcement of any collateral security granted to secure each Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.03. Without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights against the Loan Parties (whether under this Section 10.23 or under any other provision of the Loan Documents), each Loan Party acknowledges that: (x) nothing in this Section 10.23 shall impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent to advance any sum to any Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document, except in its capacity as Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, pursuant to other terms of this Agreement; and (y) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt: (i) the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party will become due and payable (opeisbaar) at the same time its Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable; and (ii) without prejudice to this Section 10.23, a Loan Party may not repay or prepay its Parallel Debt unless directed to do so by the Administrative Agent or the collateral security is enforced by the Administrative Agent.”

In consideration of the foregoing release, as well as the consent set forth in Section 2 above, the parties hereto agree that the Pledge and Security Agreement is hereby amended (x)(i) to delete the words “Equinix (Luxembourg) Holdings S.à x.x., a company organized under the laws of the Grand Dutchy of Luxembourg”, appearing in clause (d) of the defined term “Pledged Foreign Subsidiaries” (set forth in Section 1 of the Pledge and Security Agreement), and (ii) to substitute therefor the words, “EQIX (Global Holdings) C.V., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Netherlands”, and (y) to amend and restate the existing Schedule II to the Pledge and Security Agreement in its entirety with the new Schedule II attached hereto.
