ensure that after the making of such deduction, withholding or payment,
the Equinix Entities receive when due and retain (free from any liability in
respect of any such deduction, withholding or payment) an amount equal
to what would have been received and retained had no such deduction,
withholding or payment been required or made.



     g. In the event that Customer’s account is past due two (2) or
more times in any twelve (12) — month period, Equinix may charge
Customer a deposit equal to one (1) month of the recurring Service Fees
that are billable at the time such deposit is charged (the “Deposit”). The
Deposit shall be held by Equinix and returned or credited to Customer,
without interest, upon termination of this Agreement if Customer so
requests in writing at that time. In the event of breach of this Agreement
by Customer, Equinix shall, without limiting its remedies otherwise

	8.	 	Term of Agreement, Suspension of Service, Termination,
and Removal of Customer’s Equipment.





     a. This Agreement will commence on the MSA Effective Date.
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement
will terminate on the date the last Order then in effect expires or is
terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement (which will be the date on which the last Service Term of
such
last Order expires or is terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement). For each Service ordered on a Sales Order, the
initial Service Term for such Service will be stated in the applicable Sales
Order. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing or in an
applicable change order or order confirmation agreed to by the parties,
the initial Service Term for each Service ordered via a Phone Order or
Online Order will be the Online/Phone Order Service Term. Unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing or in an applicable change
order agreed to by the parties, for each Service, upon expiration of the
Initial Service Term, and upon expiration of each renewal, the Service
Term for such Service will renew automatically for additional terms of one
(1) year each, unless either Equinix notifies Customer, or Customer
notifies Equinix, at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current Service Term for such Service that it has elected to terminate the
Service Term for such Service, in which event the Service Term for such
Service will terminate at the end of such then-current Service Term.



     b. Either Party may terminate this Agreement by giving notice of
termination to the other Party if the other Party breaches any material
term or condition of this Agreement end fails to cure such breach within
thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the same. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except where Customer has failed to timely cure a monetary
breach, if a Party fails to timely cure a material breach as to only one IBX
Center, and Customer has Licensed Space in more than one IBX Center,
then the non-breaching Party may only terminate this Agreement (and
the corresponding Orders) as to the IBX Center where the material
breach has not been timely cured, and this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect as to all other IBX Centers.



     c. Notwithstanding Section 8(b), the Equinix Entities may
terminate this Agreement (or, at Equinix’s sole discretion, suspend the
provision of Services, including discontinuing the supply of power and
denying access to the IBX Center) if (I) Customer fails to cure any
monetary breach of this Agreement (e.g. fails to pay any amounts owed)
within ten (10) days of notice of the same (five (5) days in the event
Customer’s account is past due on three (3) or more occasions during a
six (6)-month period); (II) Customer liquidates, ceases to do business, or
becomes insolvent; (III) Customer breaches any provision of this
Agreement that in Equinix’s reasonable Judgment interferes with
Equinix’s operation or maintenance of the IBX Center or with its other
customers’ use thereof, and Customer fails to cure such breach within
one (1) hour of being notified of the same, or (iv) Customer breaches any
provision of this Agreement that in Equinix’s reasonable Judgment has
the potential to interfere with Equinix’s operation or maintenance of the
IBX Center or with its other customers’ use thereof, and Customer fails to
cure such breach within forty-eight (48) hours of being notified of the
same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if clause (III) or (iv) above is
applicable, while Equinix may suspend the provision of Services in
accordance with the above Equinix will not terminate this Agreement based on such clauses alone unless Customer’s breach continues
for at least ten (10) days. If
Equinix suspends a Service pursuant to this Section 8(c), unless Equinix has subsequently
terminated this Agreement as permitted herein. Equinix will resume
the discontinued Service within
twenty-four (24) hours after it is reasonably satisfied Customer has cured the breach(es) which
gave rise to Equinix’s right to suspend the Service. Equinix may charge a reinstatement fee equal
to the direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Equinix to resume the discontinued Service.



     d. The Equinix Entities may terminate this Agreement as to any
affected Licensed Space or IBX Center if any portion of the IBX Center in
which the affected Licensed Space is located becomes subject to a
condemnation proceeding or is condemned, Equinix’s possession is
otherwise terminated or abated, or Equinix cannot provide Customer with access to the affected
Licensed Space as contemplated herein for a period exceeding thirty (30) days. Customer may
terminate this Agreement as to a Licensed Space if Equinix changes the Policies in a way that
materially end adversely affects Customer’s use of the Services in such Licensed Space, but only
if within ten (10) days after Customer’s receipt of
notification of such change in the Policies,
Customer notifies Equinix that Customer wishes to terminate this
Agreement as to such Licensed
Space on such grounds.



     e. Upon
expiration or termination of an Order (or any portion
thereof), all other rights of Customer with respect to the Licensed Space
Licensed under such Order (or the affected portion thereof) (“Terminated
Space”) will terminate, and Customer will remove all of Customer’s
Equipment and other property belonging to Customer or Customer’s
Authorized Persons, Accompanying Persons and/or Associated Entities,
but excluding any wiring, cable or other equipment or property owned,
leased or licensed by any of the Equinix Entities, from the Terminated
Space no later than the effective date of such termination. If Customer
fails to remove any such property in accordance with this Section 8(e),
the Equinix Entities will be entitled to pursue all available legal remedies
against Customer, including one or more of the following remedies: (i)
immediately removing any or all such property and storing it at
Customer’s expense at an on-site or off-site location, (ii) shipping such
property to the address set forth at the end of this Agreement at
Customer’s risk and expense, or (iii) upon providing thirty (30) days’ prior
notice to Customer, and if Customer fails to remove such property within
such thirty (30)-day period, liquidating such property in any commercially
reasonable manner and charging Customer for all costs associated with
the liquidation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Customer will not be entitled to remove any Customer’s
Equipment from an IBX Center, and Customer waives its right to do so,
upon termination of this Agreement if Customer’s account is past due.



     f. While
Customer has no right to use the Services provided
under an Order after the end of the Service Term, if Customer does so,
Customer will be obligated to pay for such Services pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and any such Order, and any such
Order will continue in effect for as long as the Services are used by
Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in such event, any such Order
will be terminable at will by Equinix effective immediately upon notice to
Customer. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if this Agreement would have otherwise terminated prior to
Customer’s cessation of its use of the Services, this Agreement will
continue in effect for as long as the Services are used by Customer, but
this Agreement will be terminable at will by the Equinix Entities effective
immediately upon notice to Customer.



     g. Customer grants Equinix a security interest in all of Customer’s
Equipment now or hereafter located at each IBX Center, to secure
payment of all amounts and satisfaction of all obligations due under this
Agreement. In connection therewith, if required by applicable law,
Equinix will be entitled to file one or more financing statements with
respect to its security interest and Customer will sign all necessary
documents, and take such other actions as Equinix reasonably requests,
to perfect or continue such security interest. Equinix will not take any
action to enforce its security interest in the Equipment until such time as
any invoice is sixty (60) days or more past due.



     h. Neither
Party will be liable to the other Party for property terminating this Agreement or
any portion thereof in accordance with its terms, but Customer will be liable to the Equinix
Entities for any amounts owed prior to the effective date of
termination. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Equinix Entities have the right to recover from Customer all
damages recoverable under law for the period past the end of the Term, if the Equinix Entities
terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the full Term due to Customer’s material breach.



     i. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including in any Order) to the contrary, under
no circumstances will any Order survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement,
and under no circumstances will any Order pertaining to an IBX Center survive the termination of
this Agreement as to that IBX Center. None of the Equinix Entities will have any obligation to
provide any Services after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, and none of
the Equinix Entities will have any obligation to provide any Services at an IBX Center after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement as to such IBX
Center

Exhibit A

Confidentiality Provisions



The following provisions apply with respect to the treatment of confidential information disclosed
by the Parties hereto. All capitalized terms not defined in this exhibit will have the respective
meanings specified in the Master Service Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached and
incorporated by reference.




     a. Except as expressly permitted in this Exhibit A, no Party will, without the prior written
consent of the other Party, disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party to any third
party. Information will be considered Confidential Information of a Party if either (i) it is
disclosed by the Party to the other Party in tangible form and is conspicuously marked
“Confidential”, “Proprietary” or the like; or (5) (a) it is disclosed by a Party to the other Party
in non-tangible form and is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure; and (b) it
contains the disclosing Party’s customer lists, customer information, technical Information,
pricing information, pricing methodologies, or information regarding the disclosing Party’s
business planning or business operations. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, (i) the terms of this Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information
of each Party; and (ii) the design of the IBX Centers, the Services provided and equipment used at
the IBX Centers and the configuration, interconnection, switching and routing of telecommunication
cables, networks and services at the IBX Centers will be considered Confidential Information of the
Equinix Entities.



     b. Other than the terms and conditions of this Agreement, information will not be deemed
Confidential Information hereunder if such Information (i) is known to the receiving Party prior to
receipt from the disclosing Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an
obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (ii) becomes known (independently of
disclosure by the disclosing Party) to the receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source
other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (iii) becomes
publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this
Agreement by the receiving Party; (iv) is disclosed after the end of the Term; or (v) is
independently developed by the receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement will cease being confidential if, and only to the extent that, they
become publicly known, except through a breach of this Agreement by
the receiving Party.



     c. Each Party will secure and protect the Confidential Information of the other Party
(including, without limitation, the terms of this Agreement) in a manner consistent with the steps
taken to protect its own trade secrets and confidential information, but not less than a reasonable
degree of care. Each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information where (i) the
disclosure is required by applicable law or regulation or by an order of a court or other
governmental body having jurisdiction after giving reasonable notice to the other Party with
adequate time for such other Party to seek a protective order; (ii) if in the opinion of counsel
for such Party, disclosure is advisable under any applicable securities laws regarding public
disclosure of business information; or (iii) the disclosure is reasonably necessary and is to that
Party’s, or its Affiliates’, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants and other
advisors, or the disclosure is otherwise necessary for a Party to exercise its rights and perform
its obligations under this Agreement, so long as in all cases the disclosure is no broader than
necessary and the person or entity who receives the disclosure agrees prior to receiving the
disclosure to keep the information confidential. Each Party is responsible for ensuring that any
Confidential Information of the other Party that the first Party discloses pursuant to this Exhibit
A (other than disclosures pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above that cannot be kept confidential
by the first Party) is kept confidential by the person receiving the disclosure.



     d. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in this Exhibit A or Section 9(k), during the Term,
(i) any Equinix Entity may issue a press release announcing Customer’s entry into the IBX Centers
without obtaining Customer’s consent; and (ii) either Party may publicly refer to the other Party,
orally and in writing, as a customer or vendor of services of or to the other Party, as the case
may be, without obtaining consent from such Party.

terms herein having the respective meanings specified in the Master Service Agreement to which this
Exhibit B is attached and incorporated by reference).

Equinix Entity or landlords of any Equinix Entity, (iii) Customer will require the Sublicensees to
abide by the rules set forth in the Policies, and (iv) Customer will cause all Sublicensees to

Entity, or landlords of any Equinix Entity, have any liability to such Sublicensees,
including liability to such Sublicensees for any damages whatsoever, including direct damages.



     b. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer will remain responsible to
the Equinix Entities for the performance of all of Customer’s obligations under this Agreement
(including the payment of all amounts owed under this Agreement) and all other agreements between
any Equinix Entity and Customer (“Related Agreements”). No sublicense agreement or arrangement
between Customer and any Sublicensees will relieve Customer from any liability under this Agreement
or any Related Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer is responsible for paying the
Service Fees for all of the Licensed Space (including Sublicensed Space) and the charges for
Services for, or relating to, any or all of the Licensed Space (including Sublicensed Space). In
no event will any Equinix Entity be deemed to be providing any Services to any Sublicensee for, or
relating to, the Sublicensed Space, as the provision of any such Services will be deemed to be to
Customer for all purposes under this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Equinix Entity be deemed to have any
obligations to any Sublicensee.



     c. Customer must ensure that each and every sublicense agreement or other sublicense arrangement
that Customer has with a Sublicensee does not have any terms and conditions that (i) are
inconsistent with this Agreement, or (ii) seek to provide any Sublicensee with rights that
Customer does not have under this Agreement Without limiting the foregoing or any other
restrictions on Sublicensees, no Sublicensee will have any right to use its Sublicensed Space in
any manner that Customer is not permitted to use the Licensed Space.



     d. Sublicensees do not have any rights, separate and apart from Customer’s rights, to
access their Sublicensed Space, Accordingly, only Customer’s Authorized Persons at an IBX
Center may access the Sublicensed Space of Sublicensees at such IBX Center. Furthermore, none of
the Equinix Entities are responsible for restricting a Sublicensee’s access to Customer’s Licensed
Space located in a cage or suite to which that Sublicensee has access.



     e. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Sublicensee has no right to
sublicense, delegate, assign or otherwise transfer its rights to use the Sublicensed Space to any
other person or entity without Equinix’s written consent, which consent may be withheld for any
reason whatsoever or no reason. Any such sublicense, delegation, assignment or transfer will be
null and void.



     f. If the parties agree, Equinix and Customer will participate in a joint press announcement to
announce when a Sublicensee sublicenses Sublicensed Space at an IBX Center.



     g. Without limiting Customer’s indemnification obligations under Section 5, Customer will indemnify
and hold harmless the Equinix Parties from any and all liability, damages, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or relating to (i) any claim from
any person or entity, including any Sublicensee, arising from or relating to any breach by Customer
of any provision of this Exhibit B; (ii) any claim from any person or entity, including any
Sublicensee, arising from or relating to any sublicense or Sublicensed Space; (iii) any claim by a
customer, vendor, third-party provider or end-user of any Sublicensee, or any person or entity
acting on behalf, or at the direction, of any Sublicensee, relating to, or arising out of, a
Sublicensee’s or any of its customers’ services, Customer’s or any of its customers’ services,
or the Services provided under this Agreement (including claims relating to interruptions,
suspensions, failures, defects, delays, impairments or inadequacies in any of the aforementioned
services, including the Services from Equinix); and (iv) any claim by a Sublicensee to the extent
that such claim, if sustained, would result in any greater obligation or liability of any Equinix
Entity to such Sublicensee than such Equinix Entity has undertaken to Customer under this
Agreement.
