We are writing to you in your capacity as Agent for your consideration and, if thought fit, agreement by the Majority Lenders by the Consent Time to their approval for the period starting immediately from the Effective Date and up to, and including, 31 July 2018 only (the “Revised Guarantor Accession Period”):

 

  (a) (A) waive the undertaking requiring “the aggregate of the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (calculated on the same basis as Adjusted EBITDA) of the Guarantors (excluding HQ) represents at least 85 per cent. of the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Group (including HQ)” contained in paragraph (a) of Clause 23.21 (Guarantor Coverage) of the Facility Agreement; and (B) consent to such undertaking to be “the aggregate of the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (calculated on the same basis as Adjusted EBITDA) of the Guarantors (excluding HQ) represents at least 80 per cent. of the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Group (including HQ).”;

 

  (b) waive, in relation to InterXion Science Park B.V., the requirements of paragraph (b) of Clause 26.4 (Additional Guarantors) of the Facility Agreement;

  (d) confirm that no Default and/or Event of Default shall exist or otherwise be deemed to be continuing under the Finance Documents by virtue of the aggregate of the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (calculated on the same basis as Adjusted EBITDA) of the Guarantors (excluding HQ) not representing at least 85 per cent. of the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Group (including HQ).

(c) Save as expressly provided herein, nothing in this letter shall be construed as a release, waiver or amendment of any provision of any Finance Document and the Company confirms on behalf of itself and each Obligor that each other Finance Document remains and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

(d) This letter is without prejudice to any other breach of the Finance Documents or Default or Event of Default not referred to herein which may have occurred or will occur. In respect of any Default or Event of Default which has occurred or may occur as a result of the matters referred to in paragraph 3 above and save as set out in paragraph 3 above, nothing in this letter shall operate as a waiver thereof and no failure or delay on the part of the Finance Parties or any of them under the Finance Documents, or any of them, in exercising any rights or remedies in respect thereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights and remedies.

 

(e) All rights and remedies of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents in respect of any existing Default and/or Event of Default which have been waived during the Revised Guarantor Accession Period in accordance with paragraph 3 above but which are continuing after the last day of the Revised Guarantor Accession Period (subject to any grace periods, qualifications or thresholds under the Facility Agreement) shall be fully exercisable after the expiry of the Revised Guarantor Accession Period in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement.

 

(f) The consent of a Lender (a “Transferring Consenting Lender”) to the Consent will bind any Lender that acquires by way of an assignment or transfer (including by way of novation) any of a Transferring Consenting Lender’s rights, obligations and Commitments (a “New Consenting Lender”) after the date on which that Transferring Consenting Lender notifies the Agent in writing of its approval to the Consent, and by providing its approval of the Consent each Transferring Consenting Lender also agrees to procure that any such assignment or transfer is completed on this basis. Such consent and agreement provided by the relevant Transferring Consenting Lender above will remain valid and binding on the New Consenting Lender to the extent of the New Consenting Lender’s ownership of the relevant Commitments and it shall have the same rights in relation thereto as the Transferring Consenting Lender did prior to the assignment or transfer.

 

(g) The Consent shall apply only to the matters specifically referred to in this letter and are given in reliance upon any written factual information supplied by us to you being true and accurate in all material respects as at the date it was provided and not being misleading in any material respect. Such Consent shall be without prejudice to any rights which the Finance Parties may now or hereafter have (i) in relation to any other circumstances or matters not specifically referred to herein (whether subsisting at the date hereof or otherwise); or (ii) in relation to any such factual written information being untrue or inaccurate in any material respects that would result in the request being misleading in any material respect, which right shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(h) Pursuant to Clause 18.2 (Amendment costs) of the Facility Agreement, the Company shall (or shall procure that an Obligor will), within three Business Days of demand, reimburse (or procure reimbursement of) the Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with this Letter.

 

(i) By reference to the facts and circumstances existing at the date of this letter, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

 

(j) This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of this letter.

(k) A person who is not a party to this letter has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any of its terms and the consent of any person who is not a party to this letter is not required to rescind or vary this letter at any time.

 

(l) This letter and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by English law and the provisions of Clause 41 (Enforcement) of the Facility Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, save that references to “this Agreement” shall be construed as references to this letter.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of the above requests.
