BEFORE COMPLETING THE ENCLOSED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned herewith tenders to Buyer the above-described INXN Shares pursuant to Buyer’s offer to exchange shares of DLR Common Stock for any and all issued and outstanding INXN Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the exchange offer prospectus, dated January 29, 2020 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Exchange Offer Prospectus”) and this Letter of Transmittal.

On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if the Exchange Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of such extension or amendment), subject to, and effective upon, (i) acceptance for exchange of the INXN Shares validly tendered herewith, and not properly withdrawn, prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Time, and (ii) confirmation by the Exchange Agent that the appropriate number of shares of DLR Common Stock are held for the benefit of the undersigned, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if Buyer designates such assignee and this Letter of Transmittal is subsequently signed by the Exchange Agent on behalf of such assignee, in each case prior to the acceptance for exchange of and exchange of the tendered INXN Shares), all right, title and interest in and to all of the INXN Shares being tendered hereby and any and all dividends, distributions, rights, other INXN Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such INXN Shares on or after the date hereof (collectively, “Distributions”) and, to the extent the tendered INXN Shares are directly registered in the name of the undersigned in INXN’s shareholders register, the proper completion and signing of this Letter of Transmittal by the undersigned and by the Exchange Agent on behalf of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) and INXN will constitute a private deed of transfer as required under Dutch law for the transfer of the INXN Shares tendered herewith and INXN’s acknowledgement of such transfer of such tendered INXN Shares.

In addition, subject to, and effective upon, (i) acceptance for exchange of the INXN Shares validly tendered herewith, and not properly withdrawn, prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Time, and (ii) confirmation by the Exchange Agent that the appropriate number of shares of DLR Common Stock are held for the benefit of the undersigned, the undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact and proxy with respect to such INXN Shares and any Distributions with full power of substitution (such proxy and power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest in the tendered INXN Shares) to the fullest extent of the rights of the undersigned with respect to such INXN Shares and any Distributions (a) to deliver any Distributions, or transfer ownership of such INXN Shares and any Distributions on the account books maintained by the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), together, in either such case, with all accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable), (b) to transfer such INXN Shares directly registered in the undersigned’s name in INXN’s shareholders register and any Distributions in respect of such INXN Shares to or upon the order of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) to the extent not already transferred pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal, and (c) to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such INXN Shares and any Distributions, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints each of the designees of Buyer as the attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the undersigned, each with full power of substitution, to the fullest extent of the rights of the undersigned with respect to the INXN Shares tendered hereby which have been accepted for exchange and with respect to any Distributions, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal. The designees of Buyer will, with respect to the INXN Shares tendered hereby and any associated Distributions for which the appointment is effective, be empowered to exercise all of the undersigned’s voting and any other rights, as they, in their sole discretion, may deem proper at any annual, extraordinary, convened or reconvened general meeting of INXN shareholders. This proxy and power of attorney shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest in the tendered INXN Shares. Such appointment is effective when, and only to the extent that, Buyer accepts the INXN Shares tendered with this Letter of Transmittal for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Upon the effectiveness of such appointment, without further action, all

prior powers of attorney, proxies and consents given by the undersigned with respect to such INXN Shares and any associated Distributions will be revoked and no subsequent powers of attorney, proxies, consents or revocations may be given (and, if given, will not be deemed effective). Buyer reserves the right to require that, in order for INXN Shares to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon Buyer’s acceptance for exchange of such INXN Shares, Buyer or its designees must be able to exercise full voting, consent and other rights, to the extent permitted under applicable law, with respect to such INXN Shares and any associated Distributions, including voting at any meeting of INXN shareholders, or executing a written consent, concerning any matter.

Non-tendering INXN shareholders who receive shares of DLR Common Stock and/or cash pursuant to the Second Step Distribution (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) rather than the Exchange Offer generally will be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax. See the sections of the Exchange Offer Prospectus entitled “The Offer—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization to U.S. Holders of INXN Shares,” “The Offer—Material Dutch Income Tax Consequences of the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization for Holders of INXN Shares” and “The Offer—Material Dutch Dividend Withholding Tax Consequences of the Post-Offer Reorganization”.

INXN shareholders who participate in the Exchange Offer will be able to exchange their INXN Shares for shares of DLR Common Stock without incurring Dutch dividend withholding tax on the receipt of such shares of DLR Common Stock.

In connection with the Exchange Offer and the undersigned’s tender of INXN Shares, by executing the Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that:

the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the INXN Shares that the undersigned has tendered (and any and all other INXN Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such shares);

when Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) accepts such shares for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to such shares, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims;

the undersigned is the registered holder of the INXN Shares tendered hereby, or the undersigned is a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the INXN Shares tendered hereby;

the undersigned will, upon reasonable request, promptly execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the INXN Shares and any Distributions tendered hereby;

the undersigned shall promptly remit and transfer to the Exchange Agent for the account of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) any and all Distributions in respect of the INXN Shares tendered hereby, accompanied by documentation sufficient for such transfer and, pending such remittance or appropriate assurance thereof, Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) shall be entitled to all rights and privileges as owner of any such Distributions and may withhold the entire purchase price or deduct from the purchase price the amount or value thereof, as determined by Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) in its sole discretion;

the undersigned acknowledges that all authority the undersigned has conferred or agreed to confer in the Letter of Transmittal and all of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder shall be binding upon the undersigned’s successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives, and shall survive and not be affected by the undersigned’s death or incapacity;

the undersigned’s participation in the Exchange Offer and tender of such shares complied with the applicable laws of both the jurisdiction where the undersigned received the materials relating to the Exchange Offer and the jurisdiction from which the tender is being made; and

FOR NON-U.S. PERSONS: The undersigned acknowledges that Buyer has advised the undersigned that it has not taken any action under the laws of any country outside the United States to facilitate a public offer to exchange INXN Shares or shares of DLR Common Stock in that country; that there may be restrictions that apply in other countries, including with respect to transactions in INXN Shares or shares of DLR Common Stock in the undersigned’s home country; that, if the undersigned is located outside the United States, the undersigned’s ability to tender INXN Shares in the Exchange Offer in accordance with its terms will depend on whether there is an exemption available under the laws of the undersigned’s home country that would permit the undersigned to participate in the Exchange Offer without the need for Buyer or DLR to take any action to facilitate a public offering in that country or otherwise; that Buyer will rely on the undersigned’s representation that the undersigned’s participation in the Exchange Offer is made pursuant to and in compliance with the applicable laws in the jurisdiction in which the undersigned is resident or from which the undersigned is tendering the undersigned’s shares and in a manner that will not require Buyer or DLR to take any action to facilitate a public offering in that country or otherwise; and that Buyer will rely on the undersigned’s representations concerning the legality of the undersigned’s participation in the Exchange Offer in determining to accept any INXN Shares that the undersigned is tendering for exchange.

By executing the Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned understands and agrees that, among other matters described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus:

With respect to withdrawal, acceptance, exchange and delivery:

(i)

the undersigned can withdraw its tender only in accordance with the procedures described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus under “The Offer—Withdrawal Rights” and in Instruction 8 hereof;

(ii)

once Buyer accepts any of the INXN Shares that the undersigned has tendered, the undersigned’s tender is irrevocable, and the undersigned will be (a) deemed to have accepted the shares of DLR Common Stock exchanged for such INXN Shares and to have relinquished all rights with respect to the tendered and accepted INXN Shares and (b) entitled to receive such shares of DLR Common Stock in book-entry form in a direct registered account in the undersigned’s name;

(iii)

the number of shares of DLR Common Stock the undersigned will receive in the Exchange Offer is determined by the exchange ratio of 0.7067 shares of DLR Common Stock for each INXN Share (the “Exchange Ratio”), as described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus under “The Offer”;

(iv)

DLR’s transfer agent will (a) cause to be credited, in book-entry form to a direct registered account in the undersigned’s name, the shares of DLR Common Stock to which the undersigned is entitled in the name(s) of the registered holder(s) shown on the Letter of Transmittal (or, in the case of shares delivered through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), to the account of DTC so that DTC can credit the relevant DTC participant and such participant can credit its respective account holders) as soon as practicable after acceptance of INXN Shares in the Exchange Offer, and (b) mail a statement from DLR’s transfer agent evidencing the undersigned’s holdings, as well as general information on the book-entry form of ownership;

(v)

no fractional shares of DLR Common Stock will be issued in the Exchange Offer, as described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus under “The Offer”; to the extent that the undersigned otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share of DLR Common Stock as a result of the application of the Exchange Offer Ratio, the undersigned will instead receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the fractional share of DLR Common Stock the undersigned otherwise would be entitled to and the volume-weighted average price per share (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent) of DLR Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, for the consecutive period of ten (10) trading days beginning on the thirteenth (13^th) trading day immediately preceding the closing date, as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP under the function “VWAP” (“Parent Trading Price”);

With respect to the return of any INXN Shares not accepted for exchange:

(vi)

if any INXN Shares are delivered and not accepted by Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) for any reason pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Agent will (a) in the case of INXN Shares, return such shares to the tendering holders and (b) in the case of INXN Shares tendered by book-entry transfer pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Exchange Offer Prospectus under “The Offer—Procedures for Tendering,” credit such shares to an account maintained for the benefit of the undersigned with DTC, in each case promptly following expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer;

With respect to delivery of shares of DLR Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares to persons other than the undersigned:

(vii)

if the undersigned properly complies with the appropriate instructions hereto, including the Special Exchange Instructions and/or Special Delivery Instructions, and provides all necessary and proper documentary evidence, such as a power of attorney, the person designated in the Special Exchange Instructions or Special Delivery Instructions will receive the shares of DLR Common Stock to which the undersigned is entitled in exchange for the undersigned’s tendered and accepted INXN Shares in the Exchange Offer, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares of DLR Common Stock and, if applicable, any INXN Shares that are not accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer; provided that Buyer has no obligation pursuant to such instructions to transfer any shares from the name of the registered holder(s) thereof if Buyer does not accept any such shares for exchange;

(viii)

if the undersigned completes the appropriate instructions under Instruction 5 hereto and such section is properly complied with, Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee, if applicable) or the Exchange Agent will mail any checks for cash in lieu of fractional shares of DLR Common Stock to which the undersigned is entitled, in the name(s) and to the address so indicated;

With respect to matters relating to the undersigned’s tender generally:

(ix)

the delivery and surrender of the INXN Shares (including INXN Shares tendered herewith) that the undersigned has tendered is not effective, and the undersigned will not receive shares of DLR Common Stock in exchange for the INXN Shares tendered herewith, unless and until the Exchange Agent receives a duly completed and signed Letter of Transmittal for INXN Shares (including any signature guarantees that may be required) or, in the case of INXN Shares delivered by book-entry transfer through DTC, an Agent’s Message (as defined in Instruction 3 below), in either case, together with any other required documents and pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Exchange Offer Prospectus under “The Offer—Procedures for Tendering”;

(x)

no tender of INXN Shares is valid until all defects and irregularities in such tenders have been cured or waived;

(xi)

neither Buyer nor the Exchange Agent or any other person is under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the tender of any INXN Shares or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification;

(xii)

a tender of INXN Shares made pursuant to any method of delivery as described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus, together with Buyer’s (or Buyer’s assignee’s, if applicable) acceptance for exchange of such shares pursuant to the procedures described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus under “The Offer—Procedures for Tendering” and in the Instructions hereto, will constitute a binding agreement between Buyer (or its assignee) and the undersigned upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer; and

(xiii)

all questions as to the form of documents (including notices of withdrawal) and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of INXN Shares will be determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, and Buyer’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and instructions thereto) will be final and binding, subject to any judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction.

INSTRUCTIONS

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of this Exchange Offer

IMPORTANT: IN ORDER FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER, THE EXCHANGE AGENT MUST RECEIVE, ON OR BEFORE 12:01 A.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MARCH 9, 2020, OR SUCH OTHER TIME TO WHICH THE EXCHANGE OFFER EXPIRATION TIME IS EXTENDED, (A) (i) THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR THE INXN SHARES, PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED, WITH ANY REQUIRED SIGNATURE GUARANTEES, OR (ii) IN THE CASE OF SHARES DELIVERED BY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER THROUGH DTC, AN AGENT’S MESSAGE; AND (B) ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS.

1. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements. If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the INXN Shares tendered therewith, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as reflected on the Letter of Transmittal and as registered directly in INXN’s shareholders register (“Direct Registration Shares”), without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If any of the INXN Shares tendered by the Letter of Transmittal are owned of record by two or more joint owners, each such owner must sign the Letter of Transmittal. If any tendered INXN Shares are registered in the names of different holders, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of those tendered shares.

If the Letter of Transmittal or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing and must submit to the Exchange Agent proper evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the authority of such person to so act unless waived by Buyer.

If Direct Registration Shares are registered in the name of a person other than the person who signs the Letter of Transmittal, the Letter of Transmittal must be accompanied by appropriate stock powers signed exactly as the name or names of the registered owner or owners appear on the Letter of Transmittal accompanying the tender of Direct Registration Shares without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever, with the signature(s) on the stock powers guaranteed by an eligible institution (as defined below in Instruction 2).

2. Signature Guarantees. All signatures on the Letter of Transmittal (other than the Exchange Agent’s signature(s), if applicable) must be guaranteed by a financial institution that is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or by an eligible guarantor institution (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act) (each of the foregoing, an “Eligible Institution”), unless (a) the Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of INXN Shares tendered therewith, and such holder(s) has (have) not completed the box titled “Special Exchange Instructions” or the box titled “Special Delivery Instructions” enclosed with the Letter of Transmittal or (b) such INXN Shares are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. Holders of INXN Shares may also need the signature on such documents to be guaranteed. See Instruction 1.

3. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Book-Entry Confirmations. The Letter of Transmittal shall be used if INXN Shares directly registered in your name are to be tendered, including if (a) you are a record holder and hold such shares in book-entry form on the books of INXN’s transfer agent, or (b) INXN Shares are held in “street” name are to be tendered through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in book-entry form, unless an Agent’s Message (as defined below) in lieu of this Letter of Transmittal is utilized. You must return an original executed copy of the Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent to one of the addresses set forth at the end of this Instruction Booklet.

Please do not send any Letters of Transmittal or other documents directly to DLR, Buyer or INXN. The Exchange Agent must receive, prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Time, at its address set forth herein:

(i)

if your INXN Shares are directly registered in your own name in INXN’s shareholders register, including if you are a record holder and you hold INXN Shares in book-entry form on the books of

INXN’s transfer agent, the following must be received by the Exchange Agent at one of its addresses set forth in the letter of transmittal prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Time: (a) the letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and (b) any other documents required by the letter of transmittal;

(ii)

if your INXN Shares are held in “street” name and are being tendered by book-entry transfer into an account maintained at DTC, the following must be received by the Exchange Agent at one of its addresses set forth in the letter of transmittal prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Time: (a) the letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, or an Agent’s Message; (b) a book-entry confirmation from DTC; and (c) any other required documents.

THE METHOD USED TO DELIVER ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH DTC, IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING SHAREHOLDER. DELIVERY OF ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS IS NOT EFFECTIVE AND RISK OF LOSS OF THE INXN SHARES DOES NOT PASS TO BUYER UNTIL THE EXCHANGE AGENT RECEIVES SUCH DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER THROUGH DTC, AN AGENT’S MESSAGE). IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL SUCH DOCUMENTS BE SENT BY PROPERLY INSURED REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED AND PROPERLY INSURED. IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL MUST BE RECEIVED IN THE OFFICE OF THE EXCHANGE AGENT BY 12:01 A.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MARCH 9, 2020, OR SUCH TIME TO WHICH THE EXCHANGE OFFER EXPIRATION TIME IS EXTENDED.

No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering shareholders, by executing the Letter of Transmittal or causing an Agent’s Message (as defined below) to be delivered, waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their INXN Shares for exchange.

All questions as to the form of documents (including notices of withdrawal) and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of a tender of INXN Shares will be determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, and that determination shall be final and binding, subject to any judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction. Buyer may delegate such power in whole or in part to the Exchange Agent. A valid tender will not be deemed to have been made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived, but Buyer reserves the right to waive any irregularities or defects in the tender of any INXN Shares.

If you hold INXN Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you should not use the Letter of Transmittal to direct the tender of your shares, but instead should follow the instructions sent to you separately by that institution. If that institution holds INXN Shares through DTC, it must ensure that the Exchange Agent receives an Agent’s Message (as defined below) from DTC confirming the book-entry transfer of your INXN Shares. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the DTC participant tendering the INXN Shares that are the subject of such book-entry confirmation, that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that Buyer may enforce that agreement against such participant.

The Exchange Agent will establish an account with respect to the INXN Shares at DTC for purposes of the Exchange Offer, and any eligible institution that is a participant in DTC may make book–entry delivery of INXN Shares by causing DTC to transfer such shares into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedure for the transfer. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.

4. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in the Letter of Transmittal is inadequate, the number of INXN Shares and any other required information should be listed on a separate schedule and attached to the Letter of Transmittal. Each page of such schedule should be separately signed in the same manner as the Letter of Transmittal is signed.

5. Special Exchange and Special Delivery Instructions. If the shares of DLR Common Stock to which the undersigned is entitled in exchange for the undersigned’s tendered and accepted INXN Shares in the Exchange Offer and the check for cash in lieu of fractional shares are to be issued in the name of a person other than the signer(s) of the Letter of Transmittal or mailed to an address other than that shown in the box on the first page of the Letter of Transmittal, or, if applicable, any INXN Shares that are not accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer are to be returned by credit to an account maintained at DTC other than that from which such book-entry shares were delivered, then the appropriate instructions in the “Special Exchange Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions,” as applicable, enclosed with the Letter of Transmittal should be completed.

6. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. You may direct any questions or requests for assistance to the Information Agent at its telephone number and address set forth on the last page of this Instruction Booklet, or to your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. You may obtain additional copies of the Exchange Offer Prospectus, the Letter of Transmittal, this Instruction Booklet, the form of notice of withdrawal and other Exchange Offer materials from the Information Agent at DLR’s expense.

7. IRS Form W-9/IRS Form W-8. Under U.S. federal income tax law, a tendering shareholder who is a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is generally required to provide the Exchange Agent with such shareholder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”), generally the shareholder’s social security or federal employer identification number, and certify that such shareholder is not subject to backup withholding by completing the enclosed IRS Form W-9, or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with a United States person’s correct TIN and other information and certifications required on IRS Form W-9 or an adequate basis for an exemption from backup withholding before payment is made, payments made to such United States person may be subject to backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 24%), and such United States person may be subject to a penalty imposed by the IRS. Please review the instructions on the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional details.

Certain shareholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain non-U.S. persons) are exempt from these backup withholding requirements. A tendering shareholder who is not a United States person may qualify as an exempt recipient by providing the Exchange Agent with a properly completed appropriate IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such shareholder’s non-U.S. status or by otherwise establishing an exemption. IRS Forms W-8 (and the instructions thereto) can be obtained from the Exchange Agent or the IRS website (www.irs.gov). Such shareholders are urged to consult a tax advisor to determine which IRS Form W-8 is appropriate.

Failure to complete the enclosed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, will not, by itself, cause the INXN Shares surrendered by a holder of INXN Shares to be deemed invalidly tendered, but may require the Exchange Agent to backup withhold at the applicable rate (currently 24%) from any payments made to such holder. U.S. federal backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding may be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund or a credit may generally be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Each holder of INXN Shares should consult its tax advisor regarding qualification for an exemption from backup withholding.

Please consult your tax advisor for further guidance regarding the completion of IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) to claim exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding.

For additional information regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Exchange Offer, see “The Offer—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Offer and the Post-Offer Reorganization to U.S. Holders of INXN Shares” in the Exchange Offer Prospectus.

8. Withdrawal. You may properly withdraw INXN Shares previously tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer at any time before 12:01 A.M., New York City time, on March 9, 2020, or such time to which the Exchange Offer Expiration Time is extended. On and after the Exchange Offer Expiration Time, you will no longer be able to

withdraw your previously tendered INXN Shares and tenders of INXN Shares made pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be irrevocable; provided, that, if Buyer has not yet accepted INXN Shares tendered for exchange, any INXN shareholder may withdraw its tendered INXN Shares after the 60th day following commencement of the Exchange Offer. To properly withdraw your previously tendered INXN Shares, you must provide a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal to the Exchange Agent, which must be timely received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Time at the appropriate address set forth on the back cover of the Exchange Offer Prospectus. That notice must include the name(s) of the person(s) having tendered the INXN Shares to be withdrawn, the number of tendered INXN Shares to be withdrawn and the name(s) of the holder(s) of the tendered INXN Shares to be withdrawn, if different from that of the person(s) who tendered such shares. Buyer has provided to registered holders a form of notice of withdrawal, which you may use to withdraw your INXN Shares. You may obtain additional forms of notices of withdrawal from the Information Agent.

If shares have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry tender through DTC, any notice of withdrawal must comply with DTC’s procedures.

If you hold your INXN Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you should consult that institution on the procedures you must comply with and the time by which such procedures must be completed in order for that institution to provide a written notice of withdrawal to the Exchange Agent on your behalf before the Exchange Offer Expiration Time. If you hold your INXN Shares through such an institution, that institution must deliver the notice of withdrawal with respect to any INXN Shares you wish to withdraw. In such a case, as a beneficial owner and not a registered shareholder, you will not be able to provide a notice of withdrawal for such shares directly to the Exchange Agent. Any INXN Shares validly withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer. However, you may re-tender withdrawn INXN Shares by following one of the procedures described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus under “The Offer—Procedures for Tendering” at any time prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Time.

Except as otherwise provided above, any tender made under the Exchange Offer is irrevocable.

9. Conditions; Waiver of Conditions. The Offer is subject to various conditions described in the Exchange Offer Prospectus under “The Offer—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Offer” and “The Purchase Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Offer” that must be satisfied or waived. DLR and INXN may waive certain of the conditions to the Exchange Offer prior to the Exchange Offer Expiration Time. If the conditions are not satisfied, or, where permissible, waived, the Exchange Offer will not be completed and tendered INXN Shares will be returned to the relevant INXN shareholders.

10. Irregularities. Buyer reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of INXN Shares that it determines are not in proper form or the acceptance of or exchange for which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be unlawful. DLR and Buyer also reserve the right to waive any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer that are within the power of DLR and Buyer to waive, or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any INXN Shares.

No tender of INXN Shares is valid until all defects and irregularities in tenders of such shares have been cured or waived. None of DLR, Buyer, INXN, the Exchange Agent, the Information Agent, DLR’s transfer agent or any other person is or will be under any duty to give notice of any defects or irregularities in the tender of INXN Shares and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

Buyer will make all determinations regarding the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of INXN Shares and any notice of withdrawal in its sole discretion, and its determinations shall be final and binding, subject to any judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction. Buyer’s interpretations of the terms and conditions of this Exchange Offer, including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions contained in this Instructional Booklet, shall be final and binding.

Purpose of Form

An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.

• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

• Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

• Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

• Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.



		Cat. No. 10231X		Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Page 2

By signing the filled-out form, you:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and

4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information.

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

• An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.

• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

• In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will

become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.

What is FATCA Reporting?

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Specific Instructions

Line 1

You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9.

a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.

b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2.

c. Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C corporation, or S corporation. Enter the entity’s name as shown on the entity’s tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

d. Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

e. Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner’s name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

Line 2

If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2.

Line 3

Check the appropriate box on line 3 for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on line 1. Check only one box on line 3.

Exemption from FATCA reporting code. The following codes identify payees that are exempt from reporting under FATCA. These codes apply to persons submitting this form for accounts maintained outside of the United States by certain foreign financial institutions. Therefore, if you are only submitting this form for an account you hold in the United States, you may leave this field blank. Consult with the person requesting this form if you are uncertain if the financial institution is subject to these requirements. A requester may indicate that a code is not required by providing you with a Form W-9 with “Not Applicable” (or any similar indication) written or printed on the line for a FATCA exemption code.

A—An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a) or any individual retirement plan as defined in section 7701(a)(37)

Note: You may wish to consult with the financial institution requesting this form to determine whether the FATCA code and/or exempt payee code should be completed.

Line 5

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records.

Line 6

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by

accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days.

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, 4, or 5 below indicates otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code, earlier.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 5 below.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

• Protect your SSN,

• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov or report them at www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338). If you have been the victim of identity theft, see www.IdentityTheft.gov and Pub. 5027.
