This excerpt taken from the EQIX 10-Q filed Nov 1, 2006. 13.7 Amendments and Waivers. (a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and Borrowers, and by Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable. Except as set forth in Section 13.7(c) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall require the written consent of Requisite Lenders. (b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Agreement that waives compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.1 or 3.2 to the making of any Credit Extension shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Requisite Lenders and Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no waiver or consent with respect to any Default or any Event of Default shall be effective for purposes of the conditions precedent to the making of Credit Extensions set forth in Section 3.1 or 3.2 unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Requisite Lenders and Borrowers. (c) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent and each Lender directly affected thereby: (i) increase the principal amount of any Lenders Commitment (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders only in the event that the sum of all Lenders Commitments is increased to be in excess of the maximum Committed Revolving Line); (ii) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or Fees payable with respect to any Credit Extension of any affected Lender; (iii) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Advances of any affected Lender; (iv) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or fees as to any affected Lender; (v) release any Guarantor or, except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, release, or permit any Loan Party to sell or otherwise dispose of, any Collateral with a value exceeding $500,000 in the aggregate (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders); (vi) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances that shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; and (vii) amend or waive this Section 13.7(c) or the definition of the term Requisite Lenders insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section 13.7(c). Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any increase in sublimits or any release of any Guarantor or Collateral requiring a writing signed by all Lenders, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Agent in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for Agent to take additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall

entitle such Borrower or any other Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 13.7(c) shall be binding upon each Lender, regardless of the point in time at which such Person first becomes a Lender under the Loan Agreement. (d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination: (i) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (i) and in clause (ii) below being referred to as Non Consenting Lender); or (ii) requiring the consent of Requisite Lenders, the consent of Lenders holding 51% or more of the aggregate Commitments is obtained, but the consent of Requisite Lenders is not obtained; then, so long as Agent is not a Non Consenting Lender, at Borrowers request Agent, or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent and Borrowers, shall have the right with Agents consent and in Agents sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non Consenting Lenders, and such Non Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Agents request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of such Non Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement. |
