This First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made as of this 31st day of January, 2014, among CORESITE, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent Borrower”), the Subsidiary Borrowers party thereto (together with the Parent Borrower, collectively, the “Borrowers”), KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), on behalf of itself and certain other lenders (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”). Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement set forth below shall have the same meaning herein.

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders have entered into a certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 3, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

1.             The following definitions are hereby added to Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement in the proper alphabetical location:

 

Approved Derivatives Contract.  A Derivatives Contract between the Parent Borrower and/or any Subsidiary Borrower, on the one hand, and a Lender or Affiliate of a Lender hereunder which is also a lender or Affiliate of a lender under the Term Loan, on the other hand.”

 

Term Loan.  That certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of January 31, 2014 by and among Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Borrowers, Royal Bank of Canada as a lender and administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto as it may be amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time.”

 

Term Loan Facility Availability.  The “Facility Availability” as defined in the Term Loan.”

 

“Term Loan Unencumbered Asset Pool.  The “Unencumbered Asset Pool” as defined in the Term Loan.”

 

2.             The definition of “FATCA” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

FATCA.  Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof

 

1



 

and any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code and any legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing.”

 

3.             The definition of “Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability.  The Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability shall be the amount which is the least of (a) the maximum principal amount which would not cause the Unsecured Debt to be greater than the Unencumbered Asset Pool Value, (b) the aggregate of (i) the maximum principal amount which would not cause the Consolidated Unsecured Debt Service Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.75 to 1:00, plus (ii) the Leased Asset NOI Amount, and (c) the aggregate of (i) the maximum principal amount which would not cause the Consolidated Unsecured Debt Yield to be less than fourteen percent (14%), plus (ii) the Leased Asset NOI Amount; provided further that the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability resulting from Eligible Real Estate Assets which are ground leases and/or Leased Assets shall not at any time exceed thirty percent (30%) of the sum of (x) the Facility Availability plus (y) the Term Loan Facility Availability.”

 

4.             Section 3.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced by the following:

 

Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a) If at any time the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Total Commitment, then the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice from Agent of such occurrence pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Revolving Credit Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Agent notifies the Borrowers at any time that the Outstanding amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to (a) 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, or (b) 105% of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability, then, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect or 100% of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability, respectively.

 

(b)  If at any time the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans, the Term Loan and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability (including, without limitation,

 

2



 

as a result of the termination of any ground lease or any lease of a Leased Asset related to an Eligible Real Estate Asset), then Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Agent of such occurrence, pay the amount of such excess as a payment of principal to the holder or holders of any Unsecured Debt, together with any additional amounts required to be paid to such holder or holders in connection with such principal payments of Indebtedness.”

 

5.             Subsection (i) in Section 4.4(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced by the following:

 

“(i) that are attributable to such Lender’s or Agent’s failure to comply with the requirements of § 4.4(c) that are withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA;”

 

6.             In Section 4.15 of the Credit Agreement, “U.S.” is hereby deleted in both instances prior to “withholding taxes”.

 

7.             Section 5.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced by the following:

 

“(a) After the Closing Date, Parent Borrower shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the satisfaction by Parent Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.1, to add Potential Unencumbered Assets to the Unencumbered Asset Pool.  Parent Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date may also request that certain Real Estate of one or more Subsidiary Borrowers (collectively, the “Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Assets”) be included as an Eligible Real Estate Asset for the purpose of increasing the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability. If Parent Borrower shall request that any Potential Unencumbered Assets or Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset be added to the “Term Loan Unencumbered Asset Pool,” it shall be required to add such Potential Unencumbered Asset or Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset, as applicable, to the Unencumbered Asset Pool hereunder.  In the event Parent Borrower desires to add additional Potential Unencumbered Assets or Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Assets as aforesaid, Parent Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the Lenders), together with all documentation and other information reasonably required to permit the Agent to determine whether such Real Estate is Eligible Real Estate.  Thereafter, the Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the receipt of such documentation and other information to advise Parent Borrower whether the Agent consents to the acceptance of such Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset shall be included in the Unencumbered Asset Pool unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:”

 

3



 

8.             Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following subsection (f) at the end thereof:

 

“(f) such Eligible Real Estate Asset has been (or, contemporaneous with the release under this Agreement, will be) released from the Term Loan Unencumbered Asset Pool.”

 

9.             Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced by the following:

 

Additional Subsidiary Borrowers.  In the event that Parent Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Subsidiary of Parent Borrower be included in the Unencumbered Asset Pool and such Real Estate is approved for inclusion as an Eligible Real Estate Asset 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 Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary (and any such entity) shall become a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Subsidiary or other such entity which becomes a “Subsidiary Borrower” as such term is defined in the Term Loan shall become a Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement.  Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to be a Borrower hereunder.  Parent Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to Borrowers 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.”

 

10.          Section 5.4 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced by the following:

“(i)          the Term Loan.”

 

13.          The last (unnumbered) clause of Section 8.1 is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced by the following:

 

“Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) none of the Indebtedness described in §8.1(g) above shall have any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets or any interest therein or any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Subsidiary Borrower as collateral, a borrowing base, asset pool or any similar form of credit support for such Indebtedness (provided that the foregoing shall not preclude Subsidiaries of the Borrowers (other than a Subsidiary Borrower) from incurring Indebtedness subject to the terms of this §8.1 or recourse to the general credit of Parent Borrower) and (ii) none of the Subsidiary Borrowers, Parent Borrower nor REIT shall create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to any Indebtedness (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conditional or limited guaranty or indemnity agreement creating liability with respect to usual and customary exclusions from the non recourse limitations governing the Non-Recourse Indebtedness of any Person, or otherwise) other than Indebtedness described in §8.1(a)-(i) above.”

15.          Section 8.10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced by the following:

16.          Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced by the following:
