             CyrusOne LP and CyrusOne Finance Corp. (the "issuers") are offering to exchange up to $700,000,000 of their outstanding, unregistered 5.000% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Original 2024 Notes"), of which $500,000,000 were issued on March 17, 2017 (the "Initial 2024 Notes") and $200,000,000 were issued on November 3, 2017 (the "Additional 2024 Notes"), for a like principal amount of registered 5.000% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Exchange 2024 Notes"). The issuers are offering to exchange up to $500,000,000 of their outstanding, unregistered 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Original 2027 Notes" and, together with the Original 2024 Notes, the "Original Notes"), of which $300,000,000 were issued on March 17, 2017 (the "Initial 2027 Notes") and $200,000,000 were issued on November 3, 2017 (the "Additional 2027 Notes"), for a like principal amount of registered 5.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Exchange 2027 Notes" and, together with the Exchange 2024 Notes, the "Exchange Notes"). The Original Notes and the Exchange Notes are sometimes referred to in this prospectus together as the "Notes," and the transaction to exchange Original Notes for Exchange Notes is sometimes referred to in this prospectus as the "Exchange Offer" or "this offer." The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Original Notes of the corresponding series, except that the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and related special interest provisions applicable to the Original Notes do not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Original Notes may only be tendered in an amount equal to $2,000 in principal amount or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. This offer is subject to certain customary conditions and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on, January 5, 2018, unless we extend it. The Exchange Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or any automated dealer quotation system and there is currently no market for the Exchange Notes.

             The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, guaranteed (the "guarantees") on a senior basis by CyrusOne Inc., the sole beneficial owner and sole trustee of CyrusOne GP, which is the sole general partner of CyrusOne LP, CyrusOne GP and all of CyrusOne LP's domestic subsidiaries that guarantee CyrusOne LP's second amended and restated credit agreement. In addition, each of CyrusOne LP's restricted subsidiaries (other than any designated excluded subsidiary or receivables entity) that guarantees any other indebtedness of CyrusOne LP or other indebtedness of the guarantors will be required to guarantee the Notes in the future (together with CyrusOne Inc. and our existing domestic subsidiaries that guarantee CyrusOne LP's second amended and restated credit agreement, the "guarantors"). All references to the Notes include references to the related guarantees.

             The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, unsecured senior obligations of the issuers, ranking equal in right of payment with all of the issuers' existing and future unsecured senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the issuers' future subordinated debt, if any. The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, effectively subordinated to any of the issuers' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The guarantees relating to the Original Notes are, and the guarantees relating to the Exchange Notes will be, ranked equal in right of payment with all of the guarantors' existing and future unsecured senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the guarantors' future subordinated debt, if any. The guarantees relating to the Original Notes are, and the guarantees relating to the Exchange Notes will be, effectively subordinated to any of the guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. In addition, as with the Original Notes, the Exchange Notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities of any non-guarantor subsidiaries.

             Both the Original 2024 Notes and the Exchange 2024 Notes (together, the "2024 Notes") will be governed by the same indenture, will constitute the same class of securities for the purposes of the relevant indenture and will vote together on all matters. Both the Original 2027 Notes and the Exchange 2027 Notes (together, the "2027 Notes") will be governed by the same indenture, will constitute the same class of securities for the purposes of the relevant indenture and will vote together on all matters.

             For a more detailed description of the Exchange Notes, see "Description of the Notes."

             Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering such a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, during the period described in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to Exchange Notes, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to make this prospectus, as amended and supplemented, available to broker-dealers for use in connection with resales of Exchange Notes.

RISK FACTORS

        In considering whether to participate in this Exchange Offer, you should carefully consider all of the information we have included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. In particular, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017, the risks discussed below and the other information contained in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference herein before making a decision to participate in this Exchange Offer. Any or all of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, the trading price of the Notes and our ability to make payments on the Notes. Some statements in this prospectus, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Risks Related to the Notes and the Exchange Offer

We have significant outstanding indebtedness that involves significant debt service obligations, limits our operational and financial flexibility, exposes us to interest rate fluctuations and exposes us to the risk of default under our debt obligations.

        As of September 30, 2017, after giving effect to the offering of the Additional 2024 Notes and the Additional 2027 Notes, the use of proceeds therefrom and borrowings of $100.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility to finance our investment in GDS on October 23, 2017 (the "GDS Revolver Draw"), we would have had $2,287.6 million principal amount of debt outstanding, including $1,200.0 million principal amount of Notes, $22.9 million under our Revolving Credit Facility, $900.0 million under our Term Loans (as defined below), $10.9 million of capital lease obligations and $133.3 million of lease financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2017, after giving effect to the offering of the Additional 2024 Notes and the Additional 2027 Notes, the use of proceeds therefrom and the GDS Revolver Draw, we would have had the ability to borrow up to an additional $1,068.6 million under our Revolving Credit Facility (not giving effect to the unused portion of the revolving or term loan accordion feature in our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, for which we do not have commitments), net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $8.5 million, subject to satisfying certain financial tests.

        There are no limits on the amount of indebtedness we may incur other than limits contained in the indentures governing the Notes, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, future agreements that we may enter into or as may be set forth in any policy limiting the amount of indebtedness we may incur adopted by CyrusOne's board of directors. A substantial level of indebtedness could have adverse consequences for our business, financial condition and results of operations because it could, among other things:

•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our cash flow available to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including to make distributions on our common stock as currently contemplated or as necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT;



•

require us to maintain certain debt coverage and other financial metrics at specified levels, thereby reducing our financial flexibility and, in the event of a failure to comply with such requirements, creating the risk of a material adverse effect on our ability to fulfill our obligations under the notes and on our business and prospects generally;

11

---

Table of Contents

•

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement;



•

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;



•

expose us to increases in interest rates for our variable rate debt;



•

limit our ability to borrow additional funds on favorable terms or at all to expand our business or ease liquidity constraints;



•

limit our ability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity on the same or more favorable terms or at all;



•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry;



•

place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that have less indebtedness;



•

increase our risk of property losses as the result of foreclosure actions initiated by lenders in the event we should incur mortgage or other secured debt obligations;



•

require us to dispose of one or more of our properties at disadvantageous prices in order to service our indebtedness or to raise funds to pay such indebtedness at maturity; and



•

prevent us from raising the funds necessary to repurchase all of the Notes tendered to us upon the occurrence of a change of control, which would constitute an event of default under the Notes.

Despite our current indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt, including secured debt. This could exacerbate further the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

        We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including debt under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and future credit facilities, some or all of which may be secured and therefore would rank effectively senior to the Notes. As of September 30, 2017, after giving effect to the offering of the Additional 2024 Notes and the Additional 2027 Notes, the use of proceeds therefrom and the GDS Revolver Draw, we would have had the ability to borrow up to an additional $1,068.6 million under our Revolving Credit Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $8.5 million. In addition, the indentures governing the Notes do not restrict the incurrence of indebtedness by CyrusOne or any unrestricted subsidiaries and restrict, but do not completely prohibit, our operating partnership and its restricted subsidiaries from incurring additional debt. The indentures governing the Notes also allow our operating partnership and its restricted subsidiaries to incur certain secured debt which would be effectively senior to the Notes. In addition, the indentures do not prevent our operating partnership or any of its restricted subsidiaries from incurring other liabilities that do not constitute indebtedness. See "Description of the Notes." If new debt or other liabilities are added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify.

The Notes and the related guarantees are unsecured and are and will continue to be effectively junior in right of payment to any secured indebtedness of the issuers or the guarantors.

        The Notes and the related guarantees are the issuers' and the guarantors' unsecured senior obligations. The Notes and the guarantees are and will continue to be effectively junior in right of payment to all of the issuers' and all of the guarantors' existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations. As of September 30, 2017, we had no secured debt. Under the terms of the indentures governing the Notes, subject to satisfaction of certain other requirements, the operating partnership and its restricted subsidiaries are permitted to incur additional debt secured by their respective assets. For a discussion of the operating partnership's ability to incur

12

---

Table of Contents

such secured debt, see "Description of the Notes—Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness." Because the Notes and the guarantees are unsecured obligations, your right of repayment may be compromised if:

•

the issuers or the guarantors enter into bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding-up;



•

there is a default in payment under any of the issuers' or the guarantors' secured debt; or



•

there is an acceleration of any of the issuers' or the guarantors' secured debt.

        If any of these events occur, any secured lenders could foreclose on the assets of the issuers or the guarantors in which they have been granted a security interest, in each case to your exclusion, even if an event of default exists under the indentures governing the Notes at such time. As a result, upon the occurrence of any of these events, it is possible that there would be no assets remaining from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets remained, they might be insufficient to fully satisfy your claims. You may therefore not be fully repaid if the issuers or the guarantors become insolvent or otherwise fail to make payment on the Notes.

The Notes are and will continue to be structurally junior in right of payment to the liabilities of any of the issuers' non-guarantor subsidiaries.

        Only CyrusOne, CyrusOne GP and all of our operating partnership's domestic subsidiaries that guarantee CyrusOne LP's Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement guarantee the Notes. In addition, a new restricted subsidiary of our operating partnership will not be required to guarantee the issuers' obligations under the Notes if it is a designated excluded subsidiary or a receivables entity, or if it does not guarantee any other debt of our operating partnership or any other guarantor. The Notes are and will continue to be structurally junior in right of payment to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the issuers' non-guarantor subsidiaries. These non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the Notes, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that the issuers or the subsidiary guarantors have to receive any assets of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries upon the bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of those subsidiaries, and the consequent rights of holders of Notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of such non-guarantor subsidiaries' assets, will be structurally subordinated to the claims of such non-guarantor subsidiaries' creditors, including trade creditors, mortgage holders and holders of preferred equity interests of those subsidiaries. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, these non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debts, holders of preferred equity interests and their trade creditors before distributing any of their assets to us. The non-guarantor subsidiaries generated approximately 1% of our revenues for both the year ended December 31, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and held approximately 1% of our assets and approximately 1% of our liabilities as of September 30, 2017.

The agreements governing our indebtedness place significant operational and financial restrictions on us, reducing our operational flexibility and creating default risks.

        The agreements governing our indebtedness contain covenants, and the terms of any future agreements may contain covenants, that place restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. These covenants restrict, among other things, our and our subsidiaries' ability to:

•

merge, consolidate or transfer all, or substantially all, of our or our subsidiaries' assets;



•

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock;



•

make certain investments or acquisitions;

13

---

Table of Contents

•

create liens on our or our subsidiaries' assets;



•

sell assets;



•

make capital expenditures;



•

incur restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions from our restricted subsidiaries;



•

make distributions on or repurchase our stock;



•

enter into transactions with affiliates;



•

issue or sell stock of our subsidiaries; and



•

change the nature of our business.

        These covenants could impair our ability to grow our business, take advantage of attractive business opportunities or successfully compete. These covenants could also impair our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet capital needs, or our ability to finance our operations, strategic acquisitions, investments or alliances or other capital needs or to engage in other business activities that would be in our interest. In addition, the indentures governing the Notes and the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement require us to maintain specified financial metrics and satisfy financial condition tests. The indentures governing the Notes also require our operating partnership and its subsidiaries to maintain total unencumbered assets of at least 150% of the aggregate principal amount of their outstanding unsecured indebtedness on a consolidated basis. Our ability to comply with these metrics or tests may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. A breach of any of these covenants or covenants under any other agreements governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default. Cross-default provisions in our debt agreements could cause an event of default under one debt agreement to trigger an event of default under our other debt agreements. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our debt agreements, the lenders or holders thereof could elect to declare all outstanding debt under such agreements to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay or refinance the accelerated debt, the lenders or holders, as applicable, could proceed against any assets pledged to secure that debt, including foreclosing on or requiring the sale of our data centers, and our assets may not be sufficient to repay such debt in full. For a detailed description of the covenants and restrictions imposed by the indentures governing the Notes, see "Description of the Notes."

The documents that govern our outstanding indebtedness require that we maintain certain financial metrics and, if we fail to do so, we will be in default under the applicable debt instrument, which in turn could trigger defaults under our other debt instruments, which could result in the maturities of all of our debt obligations being accelerated.

        Each of our significant debt instruments requires that we maintain certain financial metrics. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires that the total indebtedness of CyrusOne and its subsidiaries shall not exceed 60% of the gross value of the assets of CyrusOne and its subsidiaries, determined based on the capitalized value of the stabilized properties of CyrusOne and its subsidiaries for the preceding fiscal quarter multiplied by four, the book value of the stabilized properties acquired by CyrusOne and its subsidiaries during the four fiscal quarters most recently ended, the book value of development properties owned by CyrusOne and its subsidiaries, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by CyrusOne and its subsidiaries, the book value of land assets held by CyrusOne and its subsidiaries and the book value of mortgage notes held by CyrusOne and its subsidiaries. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also requires that our operating partnership maintain a minimum consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges ratio of not less than 1.70 to 1.00, that total unsecured indebtedness of CyrusOne and its subsidiaries may not exceed

14

Table of Contents

60% (or 65% during the two calendar quarters immediately following certain material acquisitions) of the unencumbered asset value of the operating partnership and its subsidiaries, that the operating partnership maintain an unencumbered property debt yield of at least 14.0% (or 12.5% during the two calendar quarters immediately following certain material acquisitions) and that CyrusOne maintains a minimum consolidated net worth of $2.216 billion, plus 75% of the sum of (i) the net proceeds from any equity offerings by us, our operating partnership and its subsidiaries after June 30, 2016, plus (ii) the value of interests in CyrusOne LP or CyrusOne issued upon the contribution of assets to CyrusOne LP or its subsidiaries after June 30, 2016.

        In addition, the indentures that govern the Notes require that the operating partnership and its restricted subsidiaries maintain total unencumbered assets of at least 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of their outstanding unsecured indebtedness.

        If we do not continue to satisfy these covenant metrics, we will be in default under the applicable debt instrument, which in turn would trigger defaults under our other debt instruments, which could result in the maturities of all of our debt obligations being accelerated. These events would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

Certain exceptions under the indentures permit our operating partnership and its restricted subsidiaries to make distributions to maintain the REIT status of CyrusOne even when they cannot otherwise make restricted payments under the indentures.

        Subject to certain exceptions, under the indentures, our operating partnership and its restricted subsidiaries will be allowed to make restricted payments only if, at the time they make such a restricted payment, our operating partnership is able to incur at least $1.00 of indebtedness under certain provisions of the "Limitation on Indebtedness" covenant, including that our operating partnership has a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense coverage ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0. Certain of the exceptions are significant. For a more complete discussion of the restricted payment and debt incurrence covenants of the indentures applicable to the Notes, see "Description of the Notes—Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments" and "Description of the Notes—Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness."

        Even when our operating partnership and its restricted subsidiaries are unable to make restricted payments during a period in which they are unable to incur $1.00 of indebtedness, so long as no default or event of default under the indentures shall have occurred and be continuing, the indentures permit our operating partnership and its restricted subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution to their equity holders to fund a dividend or distribution by them, so long as CyrusOne believes in good faith that it qualifies as a REIT under the Code, and the declaration or payment of any such dividend or the making of any such distribution is necessary either to maintain CyrusOne's status as a REIT under the Code for any calendar year or to enable CyrusOne to avoid payment of any tax for any calendar year that could be avoided by reason of a distribution by CyrusOne to its stockholders, with such distribution to be made as and when determined by CyrusOne, whether during or after the end of the relevant calendar year.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control trigger event offer required by the indentures.

        Upon the occurrence of certain credit rating downgrades in connection with certain change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. However, it is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of the Notes, especially if the change of control also constitutes a change of control under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Under the Second Amended and Restated Credit

Table of Contents

Agreement, a change of control constitutes an event of default, which could result in our obligation to repay any outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and repurchase the Notes at the same time. Our failure to repay or repurchase the Notes would constitute an event of default under the indentures. Any future credit agreement or other agreements relating to indebtedness to which we become a party may contain similar provisions.

        In addition, the change of control provisions in the indentures that govern the Notes will not necessarily afford the noteholders protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction that may adversely affect the noteholders, including by way of a reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction involving us. These transactions may not involve a change in voting power, or, even if they do, may not involve a change of the magnitude required under the definition of change of control in the indentures governing the Notes to trigger these provisions. Furthermore, the definition of "change of control" in the indentures that govern the Notes includes a phrase relating to the sale of "all or substantially all" of the assets of CyrusOne and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of CyrusOne and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a change of control has occurred and whether a holder of Notes may require CyrusOne to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control trigger event as described above.

The Exchange Notes currently have no established trading or other public market, and an active trading market may not develop for the Exchange Notes.

        The failure of a market developing for the Exchange Notes could affect the liquidity and value of the Exchange Notes and you may not be able to sell the Exchange Notes readily, or at all, or at or above the price that you paid.

        We do not intend to apply for the listing of the Exchange Notes on any national securities exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. As a result, an active trading market for the Exchange Notes may not develop or be sustained. The initial purchasers in the offerings of the Original Notes advised us that, as of the respective issue dates of the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes, they intended to make a market in the Original Notes. However, the initial purchases are under no obligation to do so, and one or more initial purchasers may cease any market-making in the Original Notes at any time. We cannot assure you that any market for the Exchange Notes will develop, or if one does develop, that it will be liquid. If the Exchange Notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on the number of holders of the Notes, the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the Exchange Notes, prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our credit rating, our operating performance and financial condition, the prospects for companies in our industry generally and other factors. If an active trading market does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Exchange Notes may be adversely affected. As a result, we cannot ensure you that you will be able to sell any of the Exchange Notes at a particular time, at attractive prices, or at all. Thus, you may be required to bear the financial risk of your investment in the Exchange Notes indefinitely.

The trading prices of the Notes will be directly affected by our credit rating.

        The Original Notes are and the Exchange Notes will be publicly rated by Moody's, S&P and other independent rating agencies. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. These public debt ratings may affect our ability to raise debt. Any future downgrading of the Notes by Moody's and S&P or another rating agency may affect the cost and terms and conditions of our financings and could adversely affect the value and trading price of the Notes.

16

Table of Contents

        Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for companies that they follow, including us. Any ratings downgrade could adversely affect the trading price of the Notes or the trading market for the Notes to the extent a trading market for the Notes develops.

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors.

        If a bankruptcy case or lawsuit is initiated by unpaid creditors of any guarantor, the debt represented by the guarantees entered into by the guarantor may be reviewed under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws. Under these laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of the guarantee could be subordinated to certain obligations of a guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it entered into the guarantee, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for entering into the guarantee and was one of the following:

•

insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of entering into a guarantee;



•

engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or



•

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts or contingent liabilities beyond its ability to pay them as they became due.

        In addition, any payment by a guarantor could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the guarantor's creditors under those circumstances.

        If a guarantee of a subsidiary were voided as a fraudulent conveyance or held unenforceable for any other reason, holders of the Notes would be solely creditors of CyrusOne, the issuers and creditors of the operating partnership's subsidiaries that have validly guaranteed the Notes. The Notes then would be effectively subordinated to all liabilities of the subsidiary whose guarantee was voided.

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

•

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;



•

the present fair saleable value of its assets were less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or



•

it could not pay its debts or contingent liabilities as they become due.

        The indentures require that future domestic subsidiaries of our operating partnership guarantee the Notes under certain circumstances. These considerations will also apply to those guarantees.

Any Original Notes that are not exchanged will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid.

        Original Notes that are not tendered or that we do not accept for exchange will, following this offer, continue to be restricted securities, and the holder may not offer to sell them except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We will issue Exchange Notes in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to this offer only following the satisfaction of the procedures and conditions set forth in "The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" and "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering." Such procedures and conditions include timely receipt by the exchange agent of such Original Notes (or a confirmation of book entry transfer) and of a properly completed and duly executed letter of

transmittal (or an agent's message from DTC). Because we anticipate that most holders of Original Notes will elect to exchange their Original Notes for Exchange Notes, we expect that the liquidity of the market for the Original Notes remaining after the completion of the Exchange Offer will be substantially limited. Any Original Notes tendered and exchanged in this offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of Original Notes outstanding. Following the Exchange Offer, Original Notes generally will not have any further registration rights, and such Original Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Original Notes could be adversely affected.

The ability of a broker-dealer to transfer the Exchange Notes may be restricted.

        A broker-dealer that acquired the Original Notes for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. Our obligation to make this prospectus available to broker-dealers is limited. Consequently, we cannot guarantee that a proper prospectus will be available to broker-dealers wishing to resell their Exchange Notes.

Some holders who exchange their Original Notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and these holders will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements in connection with any resale transaction.

        If you exchange your Original Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

        On March 17, 2017, the Issuers issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Original 2024 Notes (the "Initial 2024 Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "2024 Indenture") among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee") in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. On November 3, 2017, the Issuers issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Original 2024 Notes as "Additional Notes" pursuant to the 2024 Indenture in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Initial 2024 Notes and the Additional 2024 Notes (as defined below) issued on November 3, 2017 have the same terms (other than the date of original issuance, issue price and the date from which interest initially began to accrue), and are part of the same class and series under the 2024 Indenture. The Exchange 2024 Notes will be issued under the 2024 Indenture and will be treated as part of the same class and series as the Original 2024 Notes. The terms of the Exchange 2024 Notes are identical to the terms of the Original 2024 Notes, except that the Exchange 2024 Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and related special interest provisions applicable to the Original 2024 Notes do not apply to the Exchange 2024 Notes.

        On March 17, 2017, the Issuers issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Original 2027 Notes (the "Initial 2027 Notes" and, together with the Initial 2024 Notes, the "Initial Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "2027 Indenture" and together with the 2024 Indenture, the "indentures" and each an "indenture") among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. On November 3, 2017, the Issuers issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Original 2027 Notes as "Additional Notes" pursuant to the 2027 Indenture in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Initial 2027 Notes and the Additional 2027 Notes (as defined below) issued on November 3, 2017 have the same terms (other than the date of original issuance, issue price and the date from which interest initially began to accrue), and are part of the same class and series under the 2027 Indenture. The Exchange 2027 Notes will be issued under the 2027 Indenture and will be treated as part of the same class and series as the Original 2027 Notes. The terms of the Exchange 2027 Notes are identical to the terms of the Original 2027 Notes, except that the Exchange 2027 Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and related special interest provisions applicable to the Original 2027 Notes do not apply to the Exchange 2027 Notes.

this "Description of the Notes" include the Original 2027 Notes, which were not registered under the Securities Act, and the Exchange 2027 Notes offered hereby, which have been registered under the Securities Act.

        The terms of each series of notes include those stated in the applicable indenture and those made part of the indentures by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indentures. It does not restate the indentures in their entirety. We urge you to read the applicable indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the notes. Copies of the indentures are available as set forth below under "Additional Information." Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under "—Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the applicable indentures and the registration rights agreements.

        The registered holder of a note is treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders have rights under the indentures.

Brief description of the notes and the note guarantees

        The notes.    The notes are:

•

senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers;



•

pari passu in right of payment with any existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of the Issuers;



•

senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuers, if any;



•

effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured Indebtedness of the Issuers, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness;



•

structurally subordinated in right of payment to all Indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of CyrusOne's non-guarantor Subsidiaries, if any; and



•

unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis.

        Finance Corp. currently has no obligations other than the notes and its Guarantee in respect of the Credit Agreement.

        The note guarantees.    The notes are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by Holdings, CyrusOne GP, all of CyrusOne's domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that guarantee CyrusOne LP's Credit Agreement and all of CyrusOne's future Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries and any Receivables Entity) that are or become required to issue Note Guarantees pursuant to the covenant described below under the caption "—Covenants—Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries."

        The Note Guarantee of each Guarantor is and will be:

•

a senior unsecured obligation of such Guarantor;



•

pari passu in right of payment with any existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor;



•

senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any; and



•

effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that Indebtedness.

        Not all of CyrusOne's Subsidiaries guarantee the notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. The non-guarantor Subsidiaries generated approximately 1% of our revenues for both the year ended December 31, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and held approximately 1% of our assets and approximately 1% of our liabilities as of September 30, 2017.

        As of the date of this offer, all of our Subsidiaries are "Restricted Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described in the definition of "Unrestricted Subsidiaries," we are permitted to designate certain of our Subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries are not subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indentures. Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries do not guarantee the notes.

        Each Note Guarantee is limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor's obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. By virtue of this limitation, a Guarantor's obligation under its Note Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the notes, or a Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Note Guarantee. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes and the Exchange Offer—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors."

        Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee is and will be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the applicable indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor's pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

        The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any series of notes will automatically terminate and be released upon:

        (1)   a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Subsidiary Guarantor, or the Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor such that the Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, in a transaction that does not violate the provisions of the applicable indenture described below under the caption "—Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales;"

        (2)   the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor;

        (3)   the designation in accordance with the applicable indenture of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

        (4)   at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Guarantor or other obligor with respect to any other Indebtedness of Holdings or CyrusOne;

        (5)   the designation in accordance with the applicable indenture of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Excluded Subsidiary; or

        (6)   defeasance or discharge of the notes of the applicable series, as provided under the provisions of the applicable indenture described below under the captions "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and "—Satisfaction and Discharge."

        In addition, if on any date following the Issue Date, either series of the notes are rated Investment Grade by at least two Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the indenture with respect to such series, then, beginning on that date, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be automatically released from their obligations under the Note Guarantees with

respect to such series; provided, however, that within ten business days following a Reinstatement Date, each of the Restricted Subsidiaries who would have been required to Guarantee the notes of such series but for the foregoing, will be required to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to the applicable indenture providing for a Note Guarantee for the applicable series of notes by such Restricted Subsidiary.

Finance Corp.

        Finance Corp. is a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of CyrusOne that was formed for the purpose of facilitating the offering of debt securities by acting as co-issuer. Finance Corp. is nominally capitalized and does not have any operations or revenues. As a result, holders and prospective purchasers of the notes should not expect Finance Corp. to participate in servicing the interest and principal obligations on the notes. See "—Covenants—Limitation on Activities of Finance Corp."

Principal, maturity and interest

        The Issuers issued (i) $700.0 million of their Original 2024 Notes, of which $500.0 million were issued on March 17, 2017 and $200.0 million were issued on November 3, 2017 and (ii) $500.0 million of their Original 2027 Notes, of which $300.0 million were issued on March 17, 2017 and $200.0 million were issued on November 3, 2017. In this Exchange Offer, the Issuers will exchange (i) up to $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange 2024 Notes and (ii) up to $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange 2027 Notes. The Issuers may issue Additional 2024 Notes under the 2024 Indenture and Additional 2027 Notes under the 2027 Indenture from time to time. Any issuance of Additional Notes is subject to all of the covenants in the applicable indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption "—Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness." Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references to the "notes" in this "Description of the Notes" means the notes and any other Additional Notes of the series offered hereby the Issuers may issue in the future pursuant to the terms of the applicable indenture. The notes of either series and any Additional Notes of such series subsequently issued will be treated as a single series for all purposes under the applicable indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that Additional Notes of a series may be issued at different prices from the issue price of the notes of the applicable series, and, if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the notes of the applicable series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. The Issuers will issue the notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The 2024 notes will mature on March 15, 2024. The 2027 notes will mature on March 15, 2027. Interest on the 2024 notes will accrue at the rate of 5.000% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing on March 15, 2018. Interest on the 2027 notes will accrue at the rate of 5.375% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing on March 15, 2018. The Issuers will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the 2024 notes on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1, and will make each interest payment to holders of record of the 2027 notes on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1.

        Interest on the notes will accrue from September 15, 2017. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

        Each series of notes initially will be evidenced by one or more global notes deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of, Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (such depositary, including any successor thereto, "DTC").

Table of Contents

Methods of receiving payments on the notes

        The notes are payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the holders at their addresses set forth in the register of holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds is required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, all global notes and all other notes the holders who have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the paying agent to an account in the United States of America.

Paying agent and registrar for the notes

        The Trustee is the current paying agent and registrar. CyrusOne may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and CyrusOne or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and exchange

        A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the applicable indenture. The registrar and CyrusOne may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. CyrusOne will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, CyrusOne will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

Optional redemption

The 2024 notes.

        At any time prior to March 15, 2020, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 notes issued under the 2024 Indenture (including Additional 2024 Notes), upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to the holders (with a copy to the Trustee), at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the principal amount of the 2024 notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of holders of the 2024 notes on any relevant record date occurring prior to the applicable redemption date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount of cash equal to the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering; provided that:

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the 2027 notes (including in connection with a Change of Control Trigger Event or pursuant to the covenant described below under "—Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales"), if holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2027 notes validly tender and do not withdraw such notes in such tender offer and CyrusOne, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of CyrusOne, purchases all of the 2027 notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, CyrusOne or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem (with respect to CyrusOne) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all such notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price paid to each other holder in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption or purchase, as the case may be, subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling on or prior to the date of redemption or purchase date, as the case may be.

Selection and notice of redemption

        No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail or otherwise delivered in accordance with applicable DTC procedures at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes of any series or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture with respect to such series.

Table of Contents

        Any redemption or purchase of the notes, including in connection with an Equity Offering or a Change of Control Trigger Event, with the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale or in connection with another transaction (or series of related transactions) or event, including any financing, may, at CyrusOne's option, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of the related Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction or event, as the case may be, and notice of such redemption or purchase may be given prior to the completion or the occurrence of the related Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in CyrusOne's discretion, the date of redemption or purchase may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption or purchase was sent) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the date of redemption or purchase, or by the date of redemption or purchase as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in CyrusOne's discretion if in the good faith judgment of CyrusOne any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, CyrusOne may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of its obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person.

        If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price.

Mandatory redemption; sinking fund

        The Issuers are not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments for the notes.

Suspension of covenants

        With respect to any series of notes, for so long as (i) the notes of such series are rated Investment Grade by at least two Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture with respect to the notes of such series, CyrusOne and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants in the indenture with respect to such series of notes specifically listed under the following captions in this "Description of the Notes" section of this prospectus (collectively, the "Suspended Covenants"):

        (1)   "—Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness;"

        (2)   "—Covenants—Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions;"

        (3)   "—Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments;"

        (4)   "—Covenants—Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries;"

        (5)   "—Covenants—Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries;"

        (6)   "—Covenants—Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates;"

        (8)   clause (3) of "—Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets—The Issuers, Holdings and CyrusOne GP."

        Additionally, during such time as the above referenced covenants are suspended for such series of notes, (i) the Note Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to such series of notes will also be suspended (the "Suspended Guarantees") and (ii) CyrusOne will not be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless CyrusOne would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if the Suspended Covenants had been in effect for such period.

        If at any time the applicable series of notes' credit rating is downgraded below an Investment Grade rating by any of the Rating Agencies such that the notes of the applicable series do not have an Investment Grade rating by at least two of the Rating Agencies, then the Suspended Covenants and the Suspended Guarantees will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants and guarantees had never been suspended (the "Reinstatement Date") and will be applicable pursuant to the terms of the indenture with respect to such series of notes (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of such indenture), unless and until such series of notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies (in which event the Suspended Covenants and the Suspended Guarantees will no longer be in effect for such time that such series of notes maintain an Investment Grade rating with at least two of the Rating Agencies); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind will be deemed to exist under the indenture with respect to such series of notes, the applicable series of notes or the Note Guarantees for such series of notes with respect to the Suspended Covenants or the Suspended Guarantees based on any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period referred to below, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants or the Suspended Guarantees remained in effect during such period. The period of time between (i) the date of suspension of the Suspended Covenants and the Suspended Guarantees and (ii) the Reinstatement Date, if any, with respect to such series of notes, is referred to as the "Suspension Period."

        On the Reinstatement Date for the applicable series of notes, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred in compliance with clauses (1) and (2) of the covenant described below under the caption "—Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness." To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred in compliance with clauses (1) and (2) of the covenant described below under the caption "—Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness," such Indebtedness will be classified as having been Incurred pursuant to clause (3)(C) of that covenant. Calculations made under the relevant indenture after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments pursuant to the covenant described below under "—Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments" will be made as though such covenant had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the relevant indenture under the first paragraph of the covenant described below under "—Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments," to the extent set forth in such covenant and the items specified in subclauses (i)-(iii) of clause (4) thereof will increase the amount available to be made. For purposes of determining compliance under the relevant indenture with the covenant described below under the caption "—Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales," the amount of Excess Proceeds will be deemed to be zero as of the Reinstatement Date. Any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary under the relevant indenture to take any action described in clauses (1) through (4) of the first paragraph of the covenant described under "—Covenants—Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries" that becomes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph of such covenant. Any Affiliate Transaction entered into after a Reinstatement Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted under the relevant indenture pursuant to clause (5) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under

Table of Contents

"—Covenants—Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates". On and after any Reinstatement Date for the applicable series of notes, CyrusOne and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any agreement or commitment entered into during the relevant Suspension Period so long as such agreement or commitment and such consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period.

        There can be no assurance that any series of notes will ever achieve or maintain a rating of Investment Grade from any Rating Agency. If and while CyrusOne and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants and the Suspended Guarantees with respect to a series of notes, holders of such notes will be entitled to substantially less covenant protection.

        As of September 30, 2017, the amount available for Restricted Payments under (4)(C) of the first paragraph was approximately $879.4 million.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, CyrusOne and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution to their equity holders to fund a dividend or distribution by Holdings (and make any corresponding distributions to CyrusOne's partners other than Holdings), so long as (A) Holdings believes in good faith that Holdings qualifies as a real estate investment trust under the Code and the declaration or payment of such dividend, in each case, by Holdings, or the making of such distribution is necessary either to maintain Holdings' status as a real estate investment trust under the Code for any calendar year or to enable Holdings to avoid payment of any tax for any calendar year that could be avoided by reason of a distribution by Holdings to its shareholders, with such distribution by Holdings to be made as and when determined by Holdings, whether during or after the end of, the relevant calendar year, and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

        The foregoing provisions will not be violated by reason of:

        (2)   the redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of CyrusOne or any Subsidiary Guarantor including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and related transaction expenses, with the proceeds of, or in exchange for, other Subordinated Indebtedness Incurred under clause (3)(D) of the covenant described above under the caption "—Limitation on Indebtedness;"

        (4)   the redemption of Common Units for Equity Interests of Holdings pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement;

        (5)   payments and distributions to dissenting holders of Common Units and stockholders of Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent company of CyrusOne (or the payment of dividends or distributions to Holdings (or any other direct or indirect parent company of CyrusOne) to provide Holdings (or such parent company) with the cash necessary to make such payments and distributions) pursuant to applicable law pursuant to or in connection with a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets that complies with the provisions of the indenture with respect to the applicable series of notes applicable to mergers, consolidations and transfers of all or substantially all of the property and assets of CyrusOne or Holdings;

        For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that a Restricted Payment or Investment (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of clauses (1) through (18) above or the definition of "Permitted Investments", or is entitled to be made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, CyrusOne, in its sole discretion, will classify, and may later reclassify (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification), such Restricted Payment or Investment (or portion thereof) between one or more of such clauses (1) through (18), such clauses of the definition of "Permitted Investments" and/or such first paragraph in a manner that complies with this covenant.

Limitation on dividend and other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries

        CyrusOne will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

        (1)   pay dividends or make any other distributions permitted by applicable law on any Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary owned by CyrusOne or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

        (2)   pay any Indebtedness owed to CyrusOne or any other Restricted Subsidiary;

        (3)   make loans or advances to CyrusOne or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

        The foregoing provisions will not restrict any encumbrances or restrictions:

        (1)   in the indentures and any other agreement, including the Credit Agreement, as the same are in effect on the Initial Issue Date, and any extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements of such agreements; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements are no less favorable in any material respect, taken as a whole, to the holders than those encumbrances or restrictions that are being extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced;

        (2)   imposed under any applicable documents or instruments pertaining to any current or future Secured Indebtedness permitted under the applicable indenture (and relating solely to assets constituting collateral thereunder or cash proceeds from or generated by such assets);

        (9)   in the case of clause (4) of the first paragraph of this covenant:

        (A)  that restrict in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is a lease, license, conveyance or contract or similar property or asset;

        Nothing contained in this covenant will prevent CyrusOne or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of CyrusOne or its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Indebtedness of CyrusOne or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Limitation on issuances of guarantees by restricted subsidiaries

        CyrusOne will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries and Receivables Entities) to Guarantee, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness of Holdings, CyrusOne or any Subsidiary Guarantor ("Guaranteed Indebtedness"), unless, if such Restricted Subsidiary is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Restricted Subsidiary executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the applicable indenture providing for a Subsidiary Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary within ten business days; provided that this paragraph will not be applicable to any Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

        If the Guaranteed Indebtedness:

        (1)   ranks equally in right of payment with the notes or a Note Guarantee, then the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness will rank equally with, or subordinate to, the Note Guarantee; or

        (2)   is subordinate in right of payment to the notes or a Note Guarantee, then the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness will be subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the notes or such Note Guarantee.

Limitation on transactions with affiliates

        CyrusOne will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into, renew or extend any transaction (including, without limitations, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of CyrusOne or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (each an "Affiliate Transaction"), except upon terms no less favorable to CyrusOne or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person that is not such an Affiliate.

        The foregoing limitation does not limit, and will not apply to:

        (1)   transactions (A) approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of CyrusOne or (B) for which CyrusOne or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of an independent qualified real estate appraisal firm or a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or appraisal firm, stating that the transaction is fair to CyrusOne or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view;

        (2)   any transaction solely among Holdings, CyrusOne GP, CyrusOne and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or solely among Restricted Subsidiaries of CyrusOne;

        (3)   any payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax-sharing agreement between CyrusOne and Holdings;

        (4)   any Restricted Payments not prohibited by the covenant described above under the caption "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" and Permitted Investments;

        (5)   transactions pursuant to the Partnership Agreement or any other agreements or arrangements in effect on the Initial Issue Date or any amendment, modification, or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the chief financial officer of CyrusOne such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, is not materially less favorable to CyrusOne and the Restricted Subsidiaries than the original agreement or arrangement in existence on the Issue Date;

        (6)   director's fees and any employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or reasonable and customary indemnification arrangements, entered into by CyrusOne or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with officers, directors and employees of Holdings, CyrusOne GP, CyrusOne or its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Affiliates of CyrusOne or its Restricted Subsidiaries and the payment of compensation and the issuance of securities to such officers, directors and employees (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans, employee stock option or similar plans), or loans and advances to any officer, director or employee, so long as such agreements have been approved by the Board of Directors of CyrusOne;

        (7)   commission, payroll, travel and similar advances or loans (including payment or cancellation thereof) to officers and employees of Holdings, CyrusOne GP, CyrusOne or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

        (8)   sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of CyrusOne to Affiliates;

        (9)   any transaction with any Person who is not an Affiliate immediately before the consummation of such transaction that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction;

        (10) any transaction with a joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because CyrusOne or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; or

        (11) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or series of related transactions covered by the first paragraph of this covenant and not covered by (2) through (11) of the immediately foregoing paragraph the aggregate amount of which exceeds $10.0 million in value must be approved or determined to be fair in the manner provided for in clause (1)(A) or (B) above.

Limitation on asset sales

        CyrusOne will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale, unless:

        (1)   the consideration received by CyrusOne or such Restricted Subsidiary is at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or disposed of, and

        (2)   at least 75% of the consideration received by CyrusOne or such Restricted Subsidiary consists of cash or Temporary Cash Investments; provided that, with respect to the sale of one or more Properties, up to 75% of the consideration may consist of Indebtedness of the purchaser of such Properties so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the Properties

sold; provided further that, for purposes of this clause (2), the amount of the following will be deemed to be cash:

        (A)  any liabilities of CyrusOne or any such Restricted Subsidiaries (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets;

        (B)  any securities or other obligations received by CyrusOne or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by CyrusOne or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 90 days of the consummation of such Asset Sale); and

        (C)  any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by CyrusOne or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (i) $50.0 million and (ii) an amount equal to 1% of Adjusted Total Assets, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

        Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, CyrusOne will or will cause such Net Cash Proceeds (or an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds) to be applied to:

        (1)   permanently reduce Secured Indebtedness of CyrusOne or any Subsidiary Guarantor or Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, in each case owing to a Person other than Holdings, CyrusOne or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

        (2)   make a capital expenditure or invest in property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type or that are used in the business of CyrusOne or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the date of such capital expenditure or investment (or enter into a definitive agreement committing to make such capital expenditure or so invest within 12 months after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds).

        Pending the application of any such Net Cash Proceeds as described above, CyrusOne may invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the applicable indenture. The amount of such excess Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied (or to be committed to be applied) during such 365-day period as set forth in the preceding sentence and not applied as so required by the end of such period will constitute "Excess Proceeds." If, as of the first day of any calendar month, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not previously subject to an Offer to Purchase pursuant to this covenant totals more than $25.0 million, CyrusOne must commence, not later than the fifteenth business day of such month, and consummate an Offer to Purchase from the holders of the notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the applicable indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, on a pro rata basis, an aggregate principal amount of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness equal to the Excess Proceeds on such date, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness plus, in each case, accrued interest to the Payment Date.

        If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness with the notes tendered into such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, then the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, any remaining Excess Proceeds subject to such Offer to Purchase will no longer be deemed to be Excess Proceeds and may be applied to any other purpose not prohibited by the applicable indenture.

Repurchase of notes upon a change of control trigger event

        Unless CyrusOne has previously or concurrently sent a redemption notice with respect to all of a series of notes as described above under the caption "—Optional Redemption" and all conditions precedent applicable to such redemption notice have been satisfied, CyrusOne must commence, within 30 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control Trigger Event, an Offer to Purchase for all notes of such series then outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes of such series, plus accrued interest to the Payment Date.

        There can be no assurance that CyrusOne will have sufficient funds available at the time of any Change of Control Trigger Event to make any debt payment (including repurchases of notes) required by the foregoing covenant (as well as any covenant that may be contained in other securities of CyrusOne or that might be outstanding at the time).

        Subject to the following paragraph, the provisions described above that require CyrusOne to make an Offer to Purchase following a Change of Control Trigger Event will be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of the applicable indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control Trigger Event, the applicable indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that CyrusOne repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. In addition, holders of notes may not be entitled to require CyrusOne to purchase their notes in circumstances involving a significant change in the composition of CyrusOne's or Holdings' Board of Directors, including in connection with a proxy contest.

        CyrusOne will not be required to make an Offer to Purchase with respect to any series of notes upon a Change of Control Trigger Event if a third party makes the Offer to Purchase for such series of notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture for such series of notes applicable to an Offer to Purchase made by CyrusOne and purchases all notes of such series validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Offer to Purchase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control Trigger Event, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the applicable Change of Control at the time the Offer to Purchase is made.

        CyrusOne will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of notes as a result of a Change of Control Trigger Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue of our compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

        If the terms of any Credit Facilities prohibit CyrusOne from making an Offer to Purchase or from purchasing the notes pursuant thereto, prior to the sending of the notice to holders, but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control Trigger Event, CyrusOne covenants to:

        (1)   repay in full all Indebtedness outstanding under such Credit Facilities or offer to repay in full all such Indebtedness and repay the Indebtedness of each lender who has accepted such offer; or

        (2)   obtain the requisite consent under such Credit Facilities to permit the purchase of the notes as described above.

        CyrusOne must first comply with the covenant described above before it will be required to purchase notes in the event of a Change of Control Trigger Event; provided, however, that CyrusOne's

43

---

Table of Contents

failure to comply with the covenant described in the preceding sentence or to make an Offer to Purchase because of any such failure shall constitute a default described in clause (4) under "—Events of Default" below (and not under clause (3) thereof).

        The definition of "Change of Control" includes a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of CyrusOne and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the assets of CyrusOne and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a holder of notes may require CyrusOne to make an offer to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Trigger Event as described above.

        The provisions under the indenture governing a series of notes relative to CyrusOne's obligation to make an offer to repurchase such series of notes as a result of a Change of Control Trigger Event may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of such series of notes.

        If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) above that occurs with respect to Holdings, CyrusOne GP, an Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing under the indenture with respect to the notes of any series, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes of such series then outstanding, by written notice to CyrusOne (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes of such series then outstanding will, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes of such series to be immediately due and payable.

Table of Contents

Holdings, an Issuer or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto.

        If an Event or Default specified in clause (7) or (8) above occurs with respect to Holdings, CyrusOne GP, an Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes of such series then outstanding will automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder. The holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series by written notice to CyrusOne and to the Trustee, may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

        (X)  all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes of such series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, and

        (Y)  the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. As to the waiver of defaults, see "—Modification and Waiver."

        The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture applicable to such series of notes, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of notes of such series not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from holders of notes of such series. A holder of notes may not pursue any remedy with respect to the relevant indenture or the notes of such series unless:

        (A)  the holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

        (B)  the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes of such series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

        (C)  such holder or holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

        (D)  the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

        (E)  during such 60-day period, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

        However, such limitations do not apply to the contractual right of any holder of a note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the due date expressed in the notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the holder.

        The indentures require certain officers of CyrusOne to certify, on or before a date not more than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, that a review has been conducted of the activities of CyrusOne and Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries and of their performance under the applicable indenture and that CyrusOne, Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries have fulfilled all obligations thereunder, or, if there has been a default in fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof. CyrusOne and Holdings are also obligated to notify the Trustee of any default or defaults in the performance of any covenants or agreements under the applicable indenture.

Consolidation, merger and sale of assets

        The Issuers, Holdings and CyrusOne GP.    None of Holdings, CyrusOne GP nor either of the Issuers will consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose (collectively, a "transfer") of all or substantially all of its property and assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person or permit any Person to merge with or into Holdings, CyrusOne GP or an Issuer unless:

        (1)   Holdings, CyrusOne GP or such Issuer is the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than Holdings, CyrusOne GP or such Issuer) formed by such consolidation or into which Holdings, CyrusOne GP or such Issuer is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets of Holdings, CyrusOne GP or such Issuer is an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction thereof and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations of Holdings, CyrusOne GP or such Issuer on the applicable series of notes, the Note Guarantees of such series and under the applicable indenture and registration rights agreement; provided, however, that Finance Corp. may not consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement so long as CyrusOne is not a corporation;

        Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of Holdings', CyrusOne GP's or such Issuer's assets, in accordance with the foregoing, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which Holdings, CyrusOne GP or such Issuer is merged or to which such transfer is made, will succeed to, be substituted for, and may exercise every one of Holdings', CyrusOne GP's or such Issuer's rights and powers under the applicable indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named therein as Holdings, CyrusOne GP or such Issuer and, except in the case of the lease or a sale or other transfer of less than all assets, Holdings, CyrusOne GP or such Issuer will be released from the obligations under the applicable notes and the Note Guarantees, as applicable.

        (2)   immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary of CyrusOne will be automatically released as set forth under "—The Note Guarantees."

Legal defeasance and covenant defeasance

        CyrusOne may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an officers' certificate, elect to have all of the Issuers' obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes of any series and all obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees with respect to such series ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs with respect to the notes of any series, all Events of Default described under "—Events of Default" (except those relating to payments on the notes or bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation or insolvency events with respect to Holdings, CyrusOne GP and the Issuers) will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes of such series.

        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the notes of any series:

        (1)   CyrusOne must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of such series of notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable government securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the outstanding notes of such series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and CyrusOne must specify whether the notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

        (3)   in the case of Covenant Defeasance, CyrusOne must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

        (4)   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of notes on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

        (5)   such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the applicable indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuers or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Issuers or any of the Guarantors is bound; and

        (6)   CyrusOne must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Satisfaction and discharge

        The indenture in respect of a series of notes will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes of any series issued thereunder, when:

        (A)  all notes of such series that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

        (B)  all notes of such series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the sending of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuers or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable government securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants in the case when the deposit consists of non-callable government securities or a combination of cash and such securities, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes of such series not delivered to the Trustee for

        The indentures provide that no recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the notes or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of CyrusOne or any of the Guarantors in the applicable indenture, or in any of the notes or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee or controlling person in his or her capacity as such of CyrusOne, the Guarantors or of any successor Person thereof. Each holder, by accepting the notes, waives and releases all such liability.

Governing law

        Each indenture provides that it and the notes and the Note Guarantees are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Concerning the trustee

        Each indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will not be liable, except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in such indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise of the rights and powers vested in it under such indenture as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

        Each indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act incorporated by reference into such indenture contain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of CyrusOne, Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

        In connection with the issuance and sale of the Initial Notes on March 17, 2017 and the Additional 2024 Notes and Additional 2027 Notes on November 3, 2017, we entered into registration rights agreements with the initial purchasers for the benefit of the holders of the Original Notes. Under the registration rights agreements, we agreed, among other things, to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file and to have declared effective an exchange offer registration statement under the Securities Act and to consummate an exchange offer. We are conducting this Exchange Offer to satisfy these obligations under the registration rights agreements.

        We are making the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the SEC as set forth in certain no-action letters. However, we have not sought our own no-action letter. Based upon these interpretations by the SEC, we believe that a holder of Original Notes who exchanges such Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, generally may offer the Exchange Notes for resale, sell the Exchange Notes and otherwise transfer the Exchange Notes without further registration under the Securities Act and without delivery of a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act. This does not apply, however, to a holder who is our "affiliate" within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act. We also believe that a holder may offer, sell or transfer the Exchange Notes only if the holder acknowledges that the holder is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business and is not participating, does not intend to participate and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes. We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person who will receive Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer to distribute such Exchange Notes following completion of the Exchange Offer, and, to the best of our information and belief, we are not aware of any person that will participate in the Exchange Offer with a view to distribute the Exchange Notes.

        Any broker-dealer who holds Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market- making activities or other trading activities and who receives Exchange Notes in exchange for such Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be a statutory underwriter, must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of Exchange Notes and must acknowledge such delivery requirement. See "Plan of Distribution."

        Except as described above, this prospectus may not be used for an offer to resell, resale or other transfer of Exchange Notes.

        The Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will we accept tenders for exchange from, holders of Original Notes in any jurisdiction in which the Exchange Offer or the acceptance of tenders would not be in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, we will accept any and all Original Notes validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below) for the Exchange Offer. Promptly after the Expiration Date (unless extended as described in this prospectus), we will issue an aggregate principal amount of (i) up to $700.0 million of Exchange 2024 Notes and guarantees thereof for a like aggregate principal amount of Original 2024 Notes and guarantees thereof and (ii) up to $500.0 million of Exchange 2027 Notes and guarantees thereof for a like aggregate principal amount of Original 2027 Notes and guarantees thereof, in each case tendered and accepted in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Notes issued in connection with the Exchange Offer will be delivered promptly after the Expiration Date. Holders may tender some or all of their Original Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer, but only in an amount equal to $2,000 in principal amount or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms of the

79

Table of Contents

Exchange Notes will be identical in all material respects to the terms of the Original Notes except that the Exchange Notes:

•

will have been registered under the Securities Act;



•

will not be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act; and



•

will not be entitled to the registration rights and related special interest provisions that apply to the Original Notes.

        The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Original Notes exchanged for the Exchange Notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the same indenture pursuant to which the applicable Original Notes were issued, which is governed by New York law, including any guarantees thereof. For a complete description of the terms of the Exchange Notes and the guarantees thereof, see "Description of the Notes." We will not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Offer.

        As of the date of this prospectus, $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of Original 2024 Notes is outstanding and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of Original 2027 Notes is outstanding. Only registered holders of the Original Notes, or their legal representatives and attorneys-in-fact, as reflected in the records of the trustee under the applicable indenture, may participate in this offer. We will not set a fixed record date for determining registered holders of the Original Notes entitled to participate in this offer. This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is being sent to all registered holders of Original Notes and to others believed to have beneficial interests in the Original Notes.

        In connection with the issuance of the Original Notes, we arranged for the Original Notes purchased by qualified institutional buyers and those sold in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act to be issued and transferable in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC, acting as depositary. Except as described under "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form", Exchange Notes will be issued in the form of a global note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and each beneficial owner's interest in it will be transferable in book-entry form through DTC. See "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form".

        Holders of Original Notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection with the Exchange Offer. If you do not tender your Original Notes or if you tender Original Notes that are not accepted for exchange, your Original Notes will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not retain any rights under the applicable registration rights agreement. Existing transfer restrictions would continue to apply to Original Notes that remain outstanding. See "—Consequences of Failure to Properly Tender Original Notes in the Exchange Offer" and "Risk Factors—Risk Factors Relating to the Notes and the Exchange Offer—Any Original Notes that are not exchanged will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid" for more information regarding Original Notes outstanding after this offer.

        We shall be considered to have accepted validly tendered Original Notes if and when we have given oral (to be followed by prompt written notice) or written notice to the Exchange Agent (as defined below). The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the Exchange Notes from us.

        If any tendered Original Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events described in this prospectus or otherwise, we will return the Original Notes, without expense, to the tendering holder promptly after the Expiration Date for the Exchange Offer.

        Holders who tender Original Notes will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes on exchange of Original Notes in

connection with the Exchange Offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the Exchange Offer. See "—Fees and Expenses".

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any and all Original Notes validly tendered on or before the Expiration Date and not withdrawn as permitted below. As used in this section of the prospectus entitled, "The Exchange Offer," the term "Expiration Date" means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 5, 2018. If, however, we, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time for which this offer is open, the term "Expiration Date" means the latest time and date to which this offer is so extended. Original Notes tended in this offer must be in denominations of an amount equal to $2,000 in principal amount or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

        We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

•

to delay accepting any Original Notes, to extend the Exchange Offer or to terminate the Exchange Offer if, in our reasonable judgment, any of the conditions described below shall not have been satisfied, by giving oral (to be followed by prompt written notice) or written notice of the delay, extension or termination to the Exchange Agent; or



•

to amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner.

        If we amend the Exchange Offer in a manner that we consider material, we will disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement, and we will extend the Exchange Offer for a period of five to ten business days.

        If we determine to extend, amend or terminate the Exchange Offer, we will publicly announce this determination by making a timely release through an appropriate news agency.

        If we delay accepting any Original Notes or terminate the Exchange Offer, we promptly will pay the consideration offered, or return any Original Notes deposited, pursuant to the Exchange Offer as required by Rule 14e-1(c).

Interest on the Exchange Notes

        Interest on (i) the Exchange 2024 Notes will accrue at a rate of 5.000% per year and (ii) the Exchange 2027 Notes will accrue at a rate of 5.375% per year, in each case from the most recent date to which interest on the Original Notes has been paid. Interest on the Exchange Notes is payable semiannually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 commencing March 15, 2018.

complete, sign and date a letter of transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, in accordance with the instructions in the letter of transmittal, including guaranteeing the signatures to the letter of transmittal, if required, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or a facsimile thereof, together with the certificates representing your Original Notes specified in the letter of transmittal, to the Exchange Agent at the address listed in the letter of transmittal, for receipt on or prior to the Expiration Date; or



•

comply with the Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") procedures for book-entry transfer described below on or prior to the Expiration Date.

        The Exchange Agent and DTC have confirmed that the Exchange Offer is eligible for ATOP with respect to book-entry notes held through DTC. The letter of transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, an agent's message in lieu of the letter of transmittal, and any other required documents, must be transmitted to and received by the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date at its address set forth below under the caption "Exchange Agent". Original Notes will not be deemed to have been tendered until the letter of

Table of Contents

transmittal and signature guarantees, if any, or agent's message, is received by the Exchange Agent. We have not provided guaranteed delivery procedures in conjunction with the Exchange Offer or under this prospectus.

        The method of delivery of Original Notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the holders. Instead of delivery by mail, we recommend that holders use an overnight or hand delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to and receipt by the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date. Do not send the letter of transmittal or any Original Notes to anyone other than the Exchange Agent.

        If you are tendering your Original Notes in exchange for Exchange Notes and anticipate delivering your letter of transmittal and other documents other than through DTC, we urge you to contact promptly a bank, broker or other intermediary that has the capability to hold notes custodially through DTC to arrange for receipt of any Original Notes to be delivered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and to obtain the information necessary to provide the required DTC participant with account information in the letter of transmittal.

        If you are a beneficial owner which holds Original Notes through Euroclear (as defined below) or Clearstream (as defined below) and wish to tender your Original Notes, you must instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to block the account in respect of the tendered Original Notes in accordance with the procedures established by Euroclear or Clearstream. You are encouraged to contact Euroclear and Clearstream directly to ascertain their procedure for tendering Original Notes.

Book-Entry Delivery Procedures for Tendering Original Notes Held with DTC

        If you wish to tender Original Notes held on your behalf by a nominee with DTC, you must:

•

inform your nominee of your interest in tendering your Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and



•

instruct your nominee to tender all Original Notes you wish to be tendered in the Exchange Offer into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC on or prior to the Expiration Date.

        Any financial institution that is a nominee in DTC, including Euroclear and Clearstream, must tender Original Notes by effecting a book-entry transfer of Original Notes to be tendered in the Exchange Offer into the account of the Exchange Agent at DTC by electronically transmitting its acceptance of the Exchange Offer through the ATOP procedures for transfer. DTC will then verify the acceptance, execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent's account at DTC and send an agent's message to the Exchange Agent. An "agent's message" is a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming part of a book- entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement from an organization that participates in DTC (a "participant"), tendering Original Notes that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the agreement against the participant. A letter of transmittal need not accompany tenders effected through ATOP.

Proper Execution and Delivery of the Letter of Transmittal

        Signatures on a letter of transmittal or notice of withdrawal described under "—Withdrawal of Tenders", as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution unless the Original Notes tendered pursuant to the letter of transmittal are tendered for the account of an eligible guarantor institution. An "eligible guarantor institution" is one of the following firms or other entities identified in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (as the terms are used in Rule 17Ad-15):

•

a bank;

84

Table of Contents

•

a broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal securities broker, government securities dealer or government securities broker;



•

a credit union;



•

a national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or



•

a savings institution that is a participant in a Securities Transfer Association recognized program.

        If signatures on a letter of transmittal or notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, that guarantee must be made by an eligible institution.

        If the letter of transmittal is signed by the holders of Original Notes tendered thereby, the signatures must correspond with the names as written on the face of the Original Notes without any change whatsoever. If any of the Original Notes tendered thereby are held by two or more holders, each holder must sign the letter of transmittal. If any of the Original Notes tendered thereby are registered in different names on different Original Notes, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate letters of transmittal, and any accompanying documents, as there are different registrations of certificates.

        If Original Notes that are not tendered for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer are to be returned to a person other than the tendering holder, certificates for those Original Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer, signed exactly as the name of the registered owner appears on the certificates, with the signatures on the certificates or instruments of transfer guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution.

        If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the holder of any Original Notes listed in the letter of transmittal, those Original Notes must be properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by the holder exactly as the holder's name appears on those Original Notes. If the letter of transmittal or any Original Notes, bond powers or other instruments of transfer are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by us, evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal.

        No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. By executing the letter of transmittal, or facsimile thereof, the tendering holders of Original Notes waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for exchange of their Original Notes. Tendering holders should indicate in the applicable box in the letter of transmittal the name and address to which payments and/or substitute certificates evidencing Original Notes for amounts not tendered or not exchanged are to be issued or sent, if different from the name and address of the person signing the letter of transmittal. If those instructions are not given, Original Notes not tendered or exchanged will be returned to the tendering holder.

        All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Original Notes will be determined by us in our absolute discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tendered Original Notes determined by us not to be in proper form or not to be tendered properly or any tendered Original Notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive, in our absolute discretion, any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Original Notes, whether or not waived in the case of other Original Notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, including the terms and instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Original Notes must be cured within the time we determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Original

85

Table of Contents

Notes, neither we, the Exchange Agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give that notification or shall incur any liability for failure to give that notification. Tenders of Original Notes will not be deemed to have been made until any defects or irregularities therein have been cured or waived.

        Any holder whose Original Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed will be responsible for obtaining replacement securities or for arranging for indemnification with the trustee of the Original Notes. Holders may contact the Exchange Agent for assistance with these matters.

        In addition, we reserve the right, as set forth above under the caption "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer", to terminate the Exchange Offer. By tendering, each holder represents and acknowledges to us, among other things, that:

•

it has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Original Notes it is tendering and that we will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by us;



•

the Exchange Notes acquired in connection with the Exchange Offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving the Exchange Notes;



•

at the time of commencement and consummation of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of such Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act;



•

it is not an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of CyrusOne LP or CyrusOne Finance Corp.;



•

if the holder is not a broker-dealer, it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Notes; and



•

if the holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See "Plan of Distribution".

Withdrawal of Tenders

        Tenders of Original Notes in the Exchange Offer may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

        For a withdrawal of a tender to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date at its address set forth below under the caption "Exchange Agent". The withdrawal notice must:

(1)

specify the name of the tendering holder of Original Notes;



(2)

bear a description, including the series, of the Original Notes to be withdrawn;



(3)

specify, in the case of Original Notes tendered by delivery of certificates for those Original Notes, the certificate numbers shown on the particular certificates evidencing those Original Notes;



(4)

specify the aggregate principal amount represented by those Original Notes;



(5)

specify, in the case of Original Notes tendered by delivery of certificates for those Original Notes, the name of the registered holder, if different from that of the tendering holder, or

86

---

Table of Contents

specify, in the case of Original Notes tendered by book- entry transfer, the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Original Notes; and

(6)

be signed by the holder of those Original Notes in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to us that the person withdrawing the tender has succeeded to the beneficial ownership of those Original Notes.

        The signature on any notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution, unless the Original Notes have been tendered for the account of an eligible guarantor institution.

        Withdrawal of tenders of Original Notes may not be rescinded, and any Original Notes validly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Validly withdrawn Original Notes may, however, be re-tendered by again following one of the procedures described in "—Procedures for Tendering" on or prior to the Expiration Date.

Exchange Agent

        We have appointed Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as exchange agent in connection with this offer (the "Exchange Agent"). In such capacity, the Exchange Agent has no fiduciary duties to the holders of the Notes and will be acting solely on the basis of our directions. Holders should direct questions, requests for assistance and for additional copies of this prospectus or the letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent addressed as follows:

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 4300
Dallas, Texas 75202-2812
MAC: T9216-430
Dallas, Texas 75202
(800) 344-5128

Fees and Expenses

        We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. We will pay certain other expenses to be incurred in connection with the Exchange Offer, including the fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent and certain accountant and legal fees.

        Holders who tender their Original Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay transfer taxes. If, however:

•

Exchange Notes are to be delivered to, or issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the Original Notes tendered;



•

tendered Original Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or



•

a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Original Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer;

then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption from them is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.

Accounting Treatment

        The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Original Notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the completion of this offer. The expenses of this offer that we pay will increase our deferred financing costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Consequences of Failure to Properly Tender Original Notes in the Exchange Offer

        Issuance of the Exchange Notes in exchange for the Original Notes under this offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or an agent's message from DTC) and the certificate(s) representing such Original Notes (or confirmation of book-entry transfer), and all other required documents. Therefore, holders of the Original Notes desiring to tender such Original Notes in exchange for Exchange Notes should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. We are under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities of tenders of Original Notes for exchange or waive any such defects or irregularities. Original Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted by us will, following completion of this offer, continue to be subject to the existing restrictions upon transfer thereof under the Securities Act, and, upon completion of this offer, certain registration rights under the registration rights agreements will terminate.

        In the event this offer is completed, we generally will not be required to register the remaining Original Notes, subject to limited exceptions. Remaining Original Notes will continue to be subject to the following restrictions on transfer:

•

the remaining Original Notes may be resold only if registered pursuant to the Securities Act, if any exemption from registration is available, or if such registration is not required by law; and



•

the remaining Original Notes will bear a legend restricting transfer in the absence of registration or an exemption.

        We do not currently anticipate that we will register the remaining Original Notes under the Securities Act. To the extent that Original Notes are tendered and accepted in connection with this offer, any trading market for remaining Original Notes could be adversely affected. See "Risk Factors—Risk Factors Relating to the Notes and the Exchange Offer—Any Original Notes that are not exchanged will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid."

        Neither we nor our board of directors make any recommendation to holders of Original Notes as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of their Original Notes pursuant to this offer. Moreover, no one has been authorized to make any such recommendation. Holders of Original Notes must make their own decision whether to tender pursuant to this offer and, if so, the aggregate amount of Original Notes to tender, after reading this prospectus and the letter of transmittal and consulting with their advisors, if any, based on their own financial position and requirements.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

The Global Notes

        Initially, the Exchange Notes will be represented by one or more registered notes in global form, without interest coupons (collectively, the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited on the issue date with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or will remain with the trustee as custodian for DTC.

        Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, solely to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form ("Certificated Notes") except in the limited circumstances described below.

        All interests in the Global Notes, including those held through Euroclear Bank S.A., as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream"), may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems.

Certain Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes

        The descriptions of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream set forth below are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to change by them from time to time. We do not take any responsibility for these operations or procedures, and investors are urged to contact the relevant system or its participants directly to discuss these matters.

        DTC has advised us that it is:

•

a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;



•

a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;



•

a member of the Federal Reserve System;



•

a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended; and



•

a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

        DTC was created to hold securities for its participants (collectively, the "Participants") and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical transfer and delivery of certificates. DTC's Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies (collectively, the "Indirect Participants") that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through Participants or Indirect Participants.

        We expect that pursuant to procedures established by DTC (1) upon deposit of each Global Note, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants with an interest in the Global Note and (2) ownership of the Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the interests of Participants) and the records of Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to the interests of persons other than Participants).

        The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Notes

89

---

Table of Contents

represented by a Global Note to such persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through Participants, the ability of a person having an interest in Notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interest to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC's system, or to otherwise take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest.

        So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Notes represented by the Global Notes for all purposes under the applicable indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will not be entitled to have Notes represented by such Global Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Certificated Notes, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the respective trustees thereunder. Accordingly, each holder owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if such holder is not a Participant or an Indirect Participant, on the procedures of the Participant through which such holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of Notes under the applicable indenture or such Global Note. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event that we request any action of holders of Notes, or a holder that is an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note desires to take any action that DTC, as the holder of such Global Note, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the Participants to take such action and the Participants would authorize holders owning through such Participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instruction of such holders. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of Notes by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to such Notes.

        Payments with respect to the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, any Notes represented by a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee on the applicable record date will be payable by the trustee to or at the direction of DTC or its nominee in its capacity as the registered holder of the Global Note representing such Notes under the applicable indenture. Under the terms of the indentures, we and the trustee may treat the persons in whose names the Notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving payment thereon and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. Accordingly, neither we nor the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of such amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest). Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be governed by standing instructions and customary industry practice and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and DTC.

        Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

        Cross-market transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparts in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Notes in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal

90

---

Table of Contents

procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

        Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in the Global Notes by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.

        Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Certificated Notes

        A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

(1)

DTC notifies us that it (a) is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, we fail to appoint a successor depositary within 120 days after the date of such notice;



(2)

we, at our option, notify the trustee in writing that we elect to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes, subject to the rules of DTC, which require the consent of each participant; or



(3)

there shall have occurred and be continuing a default or event of default with respect to the Notes.

        In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the applicable indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

        Neither we nor the trustee shall be liable for any delay by DTC or any Participant or Indirect Participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the related Notes and each such person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from DTC for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Exchange Notes to be issued).

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the purchase, ownership and disposition of Notes. This summary only applies to investors that will hold their Notes as "capital assets" under the Code.

        This summary is based upon current U.S. federal income tax law, which is subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, expatriates, broker-dealers, REITs, regulated investment companies, traders in securities who elect a mark-to-market method of accounting, tax-exempt organizations, persons that will hold the Notes as a part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or investors therein, persons subject to alternative minimum tax or U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any U.S. federal tax laws other than U.S. federal income tax laws (such as estate or gift tax laws or the Medicare tax on certain investment income) or any foreign, state or local tax considerations. We are not planning to seek a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Notes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not successfully challenge one or more of the conclusions stated herein. Each holder of Original Notes considering this Exchange Offer should consult its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Exchange Offer to it, including those under state, foreign and other tax laws and other federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Notes.

        For purposes of this summary, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of a Note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (4) a trust, if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more "United States persons" within the meaning of the Code control all substantial trust decisions or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. A beneficial owner of a Note that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder is referred to herein as a "Non-U.S. Holder."

        If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a beneficial owner of Notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership holding Notes, and partners in such a partnership, are urged to consult their tax advisors.

Exchange of the Original Notes for Exchange Notes

        An exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will not be treated as a taxable exchange or other taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, there will be no U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders who exchange their Original Notes for Exchange Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer and any such holder will have the same adjusted tax basis and holding period in the Exchange Notes as it had in the Original Notes immediately before the exchange.

92

Table of Contents

U.S. Holders

        Stated Interest.    Interest on a Note will generally be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time it is paid or accrued, in accordance with the U.S. Holder's regular method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

        Market Discount.    If a U.S. Holder acquires a Note at a cost that is less than its stated redemption price at maturity (i.e., its stated principal amount), the amount of such difference is treated as "market discount" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless such difference is less than .0025 multiplied by the stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity (from the date of acquisition).

        Under the market discount rules of the Code, a U.S. Holder is required to treat any partial payment of principal on a Note, and any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a Note, as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income. If a U.S. Holder disposes of a Note with market discount in certain otherwise nontaxable transactions, such holder must include accrued market discount as ordinary income as if the holder had sold the Note at its then fair market value.

        In general, the amount of market discount that has accrued is determined on a ratable basis. A U.S. Holder may, however, elect to determine the amount of accrued market discount on a constant yield to maturity basis. This election is made on a note-by-note basis and is irrevocable.

        With respect to Notes with market discount, a U.S. Holder may not be allowed to deduct immediately a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or to carry the Notes. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, in which case the interest deferral rule set forth in the preceding sentence will not apply. This election will apply to all debt instruments acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and is irrevocable without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in a Note will be increased by the amount of market discount included in the holder's income under the election.

        Amortizable Bond Premium.    If a U.S. Holder purchases a Note for an amount in excess of the stated redemption price at maturity, the holder will be considered to have purchased the Note with "amortizable bond premium" equal in amount to the excess. Generally, a U.S. Holder may elect to amortize the premium as an offset to interest income otherwise required to be included in income in respect of the Note during the taxable year, using a constant yield method similar to that described above, over the remaining term of the Note. Under Treasury Regulations, the amount of amortizable bond premium that a U.S. Holder may deduct in any accrual period is limited to the amount by which the holder's total interest inclusions on the Note in prior accrual periods exceed the total amount treated by the holder as a bond premium deduction in prior accrual periods. If any of the excess bond premium is not deductible, that amount is carried forward to the next accrual period. A U.S. Holder who elects to amortize bond premium must reduce the holder's tax basis in the Note by the amount of the premium used to offset interest income as set forth above. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations then owned and thereafter acquired by the U.S. Holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

        Election of Constant Yield Method.    U.S. Holders may elect to include in gross income all interest that accrues on a Note, including any stated interest, market discount, de minimis market discount and unstated interest, as adjusted by amortizable bond premium, by using a constant yield prescribed in the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations. This election for a Note with amortizable bond premium will result in a deemed election to amortize bond premium for all taxable debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. Similarly, this election for a

Note with market discount will result in a deemed election to accrue market discount in income currently for the Note and for all other debt instruments acquired by the U.S. Holder with market discount on or after the first day of the taxable year to which the election first applies, and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in a Note will be increased by each accrual of income under the constant yield election described in this paragraph.

        Sale, Exchange, Retirement, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes.    Upon a sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of Notes, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the disposition and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such Notes. The amount realized will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any property received for the Notes (other than any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as ordinary income (as described above under "—Stated Interest") to the extent not previously included in income). A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will be equal to the cost of the Note to such U.S. Holder, increased by the amount of any market discount previously included in gross income and reduced by the amount of any amortizable bond premium applied to reduce, or allowed as a deduction against, interest on a Note. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss (except with respect to accrued market discount not previously included in income, which will be taxable as ordinary income), and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for the Note is more than one year at the time of disposition. For non-corporate U.S. Holders, long-term capital gain generally will be subject to reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Non-U.S. Holders

        Interest.    Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding and FATCA, all payments of interest on the Notes made to a Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from U.S. federal income and withholding tax; provided that: (1) such Non-U.S. Holder does not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the capital or profits interest in us, (2) such Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation with respect to which we are a "related person" (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), (3) the beneficial owner of the Notes certifies, under penalties of perjury, to us or our paying agent on IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or appropriate substitute form) that it is not a U.S. person and provides certain other information or satisfies certain other certification requirements and (4) such payments are not effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

        If a Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, unless such Non-U.S. Holder provides us with a properly executed (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or appropriate substitute form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty or (2) IRS Form W-8ECI (or appropriate substitute form) stating that interest paid or accrued on the Notes is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and is includible in such Non-U.S. Holder's gross income.

        Sale, Exchange, Retirement, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes.    Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding and FATCA and except with respect to accrued but unpaid interest, which generally will be taxable as interest and may be subject to the rules described above under "—Non-U.S. Holders—Interest," a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on the receipt of payments of principal on a Note, or on any gain recognized upon the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of a Note, unless in the case of gain (1) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States, in which case such gain will be taxed as described below under "—Non-U.S. Holders—Income Effectively Connected with a U.S. Trade or

Business," or (2) such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, and certain other conditions are met, in which case such Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to tax at 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) on the gain derived from such disposition, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.

        Income Effectively Connected with a U.S. Trade or Business.    If a Non-U.S. Holder of Notes is engaged in a trade or business in the United States, and if interest on the Notes or gain realized on the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax on such income or gain in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder. If the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty between the United States and the Non-U.S. Holder's country of residence, any "effectively connected" income or gain generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax only if it is also attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States. In addition, if such a Non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, such holder may also be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to certain adjustments. Payments of interest that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business will not be subject to the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax provided that the Non-U.S. Holder claims exemption from withholding. To claim exemption from withholding, the Non-U.S. Holder must certify its qualification, which generally can be done by providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form).

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        U.S. Holders.    Payments of interest on, or the proceeds of the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of, a Note are generally subject to information reporting unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient (such as a corporation). Such payments may also be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding at a 28% rate, if the recipient of such payment fails to supply a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, as well as certain other information or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against that U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

        Non-U.S. Holders.    A Non-U.S. Holder may be required to comply with certain certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a United States person in order to avoid backup withholding at a 28% rate, with respect to payments of interest on, or the proceeds of the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other disposition of, a Note. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against that Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In certain circumstances, the name and address of the beneficial owner and the amount of interest paid on a Note, as well as the amount, if any, withheld, may be reported to the IRS. Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides.

FATCA

        Pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code ("FATCA"), withholding at a rate of 30% may be required on payments of interest on, and, beginning on January 1, 2019, gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of, a Note paid to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities, unless they satisfy certain reporting requirements. Holders of Notes are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding to the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in Notes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes in exchange for Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of such Exchange Notes. We have agreed that, during the period described in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to Exchange Notes (the "Applicable Period"), we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to make this prospectus, as amended and supplemented, available to broker-dealers for use in connection with resales of Exchange Notes.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to this offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to this offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit of any such resale of Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        This Exchange Offer is being made by the Issuers based upon the Issuers' understanding of interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act; provided that: (i) such holder is not an "affiliate", as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Issuers; (ii) such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holder's business; and (iii) such holder is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in, a distribution of such Exchange Notes and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution, as defined in the Securities Act, of the Exchange Notes.

        However, the Issuers have not sought their own no-action letter and therefore the staff of the SEC has not considered this Exchange Offer in the context of a no-action letter. There can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. If a holder of Original Notes is an affiliate of the Issuers, acquires the Exchange Notes other than in the ordinary course of such holder's business or is engaged in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such holder could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction and must be identified as an underwriter in the prospectus.

        During the Applicable Period, we will send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to this offer other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Notes (including broker-dealers selling Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
