Exhibit 10.4

Release Agreement
 
This Release Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between Internap Corporation
(the “Company”) and Peter Aquino (“You” or “Your”) (the Company and You
collectively referred to as the “Parties”) is entered into and effective as of
May 8, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).  You and the Company previously entered into
that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2016, as amended
from time to time (the “Employment Agreement.”)
 
1.         Separation Date.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that Your
employment with the Company terminated effective as of May 8, 2020 (the
“Separation Date”).  On the earliest to occur of (i) the next regularly schedule
payroll date, (ii) the 30th day following the Separation Date, and (iii) any
earlier date as required by applicable law, the Company will pay You all accrued
but unpaid Base Salary (as defined in the Employment Agreement) as of the
Separation Date.
 
2.         Separation Payments.  Provided that You satisfy the conditions of
this Agreement, including the return of all Company property, and do not revoke
this Agreement, the Company shall pay You separation payments equal to
$2,222,000 in the aggregate, minus all applicable withholdings, including taxes
and Social Security (the “Separation Payments”).  The Separation Payments shall
be paid on the following schedule, in each case provided that you have returned
an executed version of this Agreement to the Company’s Vice President, Human
Resources Department, at 250 Williams Street NW, Suite E100, Atlanta Georgia,
30303 with all periods for revocation having expired prior to the 60th day
following the Separation Date: (x) $1,652,000 will be paid in equal installments
in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices, with the first such
payment occurring on the first payroll date on or immediately following the 60th
day following the Separation Date and the last such payment occurring on the
payroll date on or immediately preceding December 31, 2020 and (y) $570,000 will
be paid in a lump sum on the second anniversary of the Separation Date. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing payment schedule, any unpaid Separation Payments,
subject to compliance with the execution and non-revocation requirements of the
preceding sentence, will become immediately payable upon the consummation of a
Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) which occurs
following the Separation Date.  Because You are no longer employed, Your rights
to any particular employee benefit shall be governed by applicable law and the
terms and provisions of the Company’s various employee benefit plans and
arrangements.  Additionally, the Company will pay You a lump sum payment of
$200,000 on the earliest to occur of (i) the first payroll date in March of 2021
(but no later than March 15, 2021) and (ii) the consummation of a Change of
Control which occurs following the Separation Date, minus all applicable
withholding, including taxes and Social Security, in full satisfaction of all
amounts owed to You under the Long-Term Cash Award Agreement entered into by and
between You and the Company as of April 8, 2019; following such payment, You
will have no further rights to any payments or benefits under such Long-Term
Cash Award Agreement.  You acknowledge that the Separation Date shall be the
date used in determining benefits under all Company employee benefit plans. The
Company’s obligation to provide You with the payments set forth above shall
terminate immediately upon any material breach by You of this Agreement or any
post-termination obligations to which You are subject.  You agree that the
treatment of any equity-based compensation awards granted to You by Company
under an Equity Agreement (as defined in the Employment Agreement) will be
governed by the terms of such awards and such Equity Agreement. Following the
Separation Date, the Company will not grant You any equity-based compensation
awards.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, if You breach this
Agreement, You acknowledge and agree that: (a) You shall return to the Company
ninety-five percent (95%) of the Separation Payments within ten (10) calendar
days after receiving notice from the Company of Your breach, as such amount is
not deemed earned absent Your full compliance with this Agreement; and (b) the
remaining five percent (5%) of the Separation Payments shall constitute full and
complete consideration sufficient to support enforcement of this Agreement
against You, including, but not limited to, enforcement of Your release of
claims set forth below.

You sign this Agreement, including, but not limited to, claims arising out of

overtime to which You are entitled, if any) for hours You worked for the
Company, and (ii) do not claim that the Company violated or denied Your rights

Agreement is written in a manner that You understand; (ii) You do not release or

in exchange for payments and/or benefits in addition to anything of value to
which You are already entitled; (iv) You are advised to consult with an attorney
before signing this Agreement; (v) You have twenty-one (21) calendar days from
receipt of this Agreement to consider whether to sign it (the “Offer Period”). 
The Parties agree that the Company may revoke this offer at any time.  However,
if You sign before the end of the Offer Period, You acknowledge that Your
decision to do so was knowing, voluntary, and not induced by fraud,
misrepresentation, or a threat to withdraw, alter, or provide different terms
prior to the expiration of the Offer Period.  You agree that changes or
revisions to this Agreement, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the
running of the Offer Period; (vi) You have seven (7) calendar days after signing
this Agreement to revoke this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”).  If You
revoke, the Agreement shall not be effective or enforceable and You shall not be
entitled to the consideration set forth in this Agreement. To be effective, the
revocation must be in writing and received by [the Company’s Vice President,
