2010 Annual incentive Plan

 Exhibit 10.18 
 SAVVIS, Inc. 
 2010 Annual Incentive Plan

  

	I.	Purpose: 

 The purpose of the
SAVVIS, Inc. 2010 Annual Incentive Plan (the “2010 Incentive Plan”) is to attract, retain and motivate key managers and senior leaders of SAVVIS, Inc. and its affiliates (“SAVVIS” or the “Company”) with rewards that are
based on the achievement of Company and/or Business Unit performance measures and specific individual objectives. The participants in the 2010 Incentive Plan are employees with responsibility for managing, directing and leading the performance of
the Company. 
  

	II.	Eligibility: 

 Employees who
are in identified exempt manager and above roles, or local equivalents for employees located outside the U.S., who are not on any sales or revenue specific compensation plan or any other incentive or commission-type compensation plan, and who are
actively employed as of January 1, 2010, are eligible to participate in this 2010 Incentive Plan (each a “Participant”). New employees who otherwise meet all eligibility criteria can become Participants if hired or promoted by
August 31, 2010. Individuals who would otherwise qualify as Participants but who are working on a Performance Improvement Plan or written reprimand, temporary employees, independent contractors and interns are not eligible. 
 Under normal circumstances, employees must be regularly working 30 hours or more per week to be considered eligible to participate. Where applicable, local
law will take precedence over the general treatment of part-time workers. 
 2010 Incentive Plan awards are not vested or earned until the
actual payment date of the award. Participants must be on active employment status on the payment date in order to receive a payment. If an otherwise eligible Participant is on an approved leave of absence on the payment date, the Participant will
be eligible for an award payment on return to active employment status on or after the payment date. Payments may also be prorated for Participants on approved unpaid leave status for periods longer than four weeks during 2010. 2010 Incentive Plan
awards will be prorated for Participants not employed for a full year period; no payment will be made unless the Participant has been employed at least 4 months in the calendar year. In the event of a Participant’s death, the Participant’s
estate may be entitled to a discretionary payment of an award prorated for the amount of time that the Participant was employed with the Company during the calendar year in an amount not to exceed 100% of the Participant’s target if awards are
made under the 2010 Incentive Plan. Unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement, payments will be made to the Participant’s estate at the same time all other awards are paid under the 2010 Incentive Plan. 
  

	III.	Effective Date 

 The 2010 Incentive
Plan applies to performance for the period from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2010, (the “Plan Year”) only, and supersedes any and all prior bonus and incentive plans applicable to that period 
  

	IV.	Payment Terms and Plan Overview 

  

	A.	2010 Incentive Plan awards will be determined as soon as possible after the close of the Company’s 2010 fiscal year on December 31, 2010.

	B.	Plan awards are payable annually and are not earned until the actual payment date, expected to occur after December 31, 2010 and prior to March 31, 2011. Plan
awards may be in amounts that are below, equal to or in excess of the Participant’s target award based on the achievement of Company and/or Business Unit performance measures and specific individual objectives, subject to any Plan limitations
herein. 

  

	C.	Plan awards for Participants will be payable in a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The portion of the award payable in common stock will become fully
vested on the achievement of Company and/or Business Unit performance measures at target and, as determined in the Company’s discretion, receiving at least an overall Meets Expectations individual rating on both results (“What”) and
competencies (“How”) under the Savvis Performance appraisal process, provided that the Participant’s employment continues on the vesting date, subject to the Company’s discretion to determine how many, if any, shares will vest.
Awards of shares of common stock are subject to the terms of the 2003 Restated and Amended Incentive Compensation Plan, to the terms of the Participants’ restricted stock unit agreements and other restrictions and limitations generally
applicable to equity held by Company executives or otherwise required by law. The portion of the plan award that can be paid in shares of common stock is the first 50% of the annual target award for each Participant. 

  

	D.	Awards are determined based on the terms of this Plan, on achievement of Company and/or Business Unit performance measures and specific individual objectives over the
full calendar year. 

  

	E.	2010 Incentive Plan awards are subject to payroll taxes and any other statutory withholdings. 

  

	F.	For purposes of determining the amount of awards, base salary is determined based on any pro-rated salary changes to the base annualized salary during the calendar
year. 

  

	G.	Plan awards for Participants that change target categories during 2010 will typically be applied pro-rata to their award calculation but this is in the discretion of
the Company. 

  

	H.	In the event of an acquisition or other unusual event, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of SAVVIS (the “Compensation Committee”) can make
any adjustments to the 2010 Incentive Plan that are deemed appropriate to reflect the transaction or event, in its sole discretion. 

  

	I.	Participants may receive a bonus that is less than, equal to or greater than their individual bonus target based on the total bonus pool funding available, a
discretionary assessment of individual performance, and other discretion of the Company. Awards are established as a factor of individual bonus targets and will be paid based on pool funding and an assessment of individual performance. Bonus pool
funding will be triggered when certain Net Revenue and adjusted gross EBITDA targets are attained, along with certain strategic objectives. The cash is then awarded to individual Participants, and vesting in restricted stock unit grants is
determined, based on assessed performance. 

  

	V.	Discretionary Nature of Awards 

 Under all circumstances, the 2010 Incentive Plan and any payments or awards made under the 2010 Incentive Plan are entirely discretionary. The Compensation Committee has full discretion to determine the amount of award and whether to make
any awards even if Company and/or Business Unit performance measures and specific individual objectives are achieved. The information set forth in this 2010 Incentive Plan is intended only to provide general guidelines, should the Compensation
Committee decide, in its sole discretion, that plan award payments should be made. The guidelines should not be construed as a promise that any plan award payments will be made. Plan award payments are not guaranteed, automatic, promised or
contractually required. They will be awarded in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, based on Company and/or Business Unit performance measures and specific individual objectives and other considerations. Nothing in this 2010 Incentive Plan
affects, or shall be construed to affect, the at-will nature of any Participant’s employment with the Company and nothing in this plan should be interpreted as having contractual significance. 
  

 2 

	VI.	Methodology 

 Each Participant in
the 2010 Incentive Plan will be assigned an award target that will be expressed as a percentage of his or her annual base salary. These award targets vary by level of responsibility in the organization. The establishment of these award targets and
classifications of employees in the various categories rests with the sole discretion of the Company. There are different target levels for each of two groups of Participants (Group A and Group B), as shown in Table 1 below. 
 If the Compensation Committee determines to make any award payments, the payments will be made based on the Company’s achievement of Company and/or
Business Unit performance measures set by the Compensation Committee, an assessment of individual performance against individual objectives and each Participant’s award target, all in the discretion of the Compensation Committee or Company as
applicable. Net Revenue for plan purposes will be as per Company accounting policy consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Adjusted gross EBITDA for plan purposes will be Adjusted EBITDA (income from operations before
depreciation, amortization and accretion, gains and losses on sales of assets, and non-cash, equity-based compensation) plus the accrued cash expense for 2010 AIP bonus (taking into account bonus plan adjustments including exclusion of foreign
currency gains and/or losses, and one-time non-recurring items that are not reflective of 2010 performance). 
 The Company must achieve the
following 2010 Net Revenue and adjusted gross EBITDA financial targets for any payments under the 2010 Annual Incentive Plan: 
  

	 	A.	For Group A, the target award pool will fund if Net Revenue is $* million or adjusted gross EBITDA is $* million. The Net Revenue and Gross EBITDA performance
conditions may be achieved independently. This portion will not exceed 100% of the target award pool for these plan participants. If the $* million Net Revenue performance condition is achieved but the $* Gross EBITDA performance condition is not
achieved, the portion of the target award pool that will fund will be targeted to be 70% of the target award pool for these plan participants. If the $* million Gross EBITDA performance condition is achieved but the $* million Net Revenue
performance condition is not achieved, the portion of the target award pool that will fund will be targeted to be 30% of the target award pool for these plan participants. 

  

	 	B.	For Group B, a portion of the target award pool will fund if Net Revenue is $* million or adjusted gross EBITDA is $* million. The Net Revenue and Gross EBITDA
performance conditions may be achieved independently. This portion will be targeted to be 50% of the target award pool for these plan participants. If the $* million Net Revenue performance condition is achieved but the $* Gross EBITDA performance
condition is not achieved, the portion of the target award pool that will fund will be targeted to be 70% of the aforementioned 50% of the target award pool for these plan participants. If the $* million Gross EBITDA performance condition is
achieved but the $* million Net Revenue performance condition is not achieved, the portion of the target award pool that will fund will be targeted to be 30% of the aforementioned 50% of the target award pool for these plan participants.

  

	 	C.	 For Group B, a portion of the target award pool will fund if Net Revenue is between $* million and $* million or adjusted gross EBITDA is between $*
million and $* million. The Net Revenue and Gross EBITDA performance conditions may be achieved independently. This portion will not exceed 100% of the target award pool for these plan participants. If Net Revenue is more than $* million and less
than or equal to $* million but Gross EBITDA does not exceed $* million, the

  

 3 

	 	 
portion of the target award pool that will fund will be targeted to be 70% of the target award pool for these plan participants. If the Gross EBITDA is greater than $* million and less than or
equal to $* million but Net Revenue does not exceed $* million, the portion of the target award pool that will fund will be targeted to be 30% of the target award pool for these plan participants. 

  

	 	D.	If Net Revenue is at least $* million and Gross EBITDA is greater than $* million, supplemental bonus funding will be made in cash. This supplemental bonus funding will
be targeted at 50% of the excess of Gross EBITDA over $* million. 

  

	 	E.	Awards are to be paid in cash and common stock for Group A and Group B. 

  

	 	F.	Full year award pools will be uncapped. 

  

	 	G.	Each Participant whose 2010 Incentive Plan payout would be partly in shares of common stock will receive a restricted stock unit agreement for a number of shares of
restricted stock. The exchange ratio will be valued throughout the year at the closing price of Company common stock on the date that the Compensation Committee approves the 2010 Incentive Plan. The value of the shares of restricted stock on the
date of grant will be approximately equal to half of the annual target award for the Participant. 

  

	VII.	Individual Payments 

 The level of
individual performance as determined by a Participant’s supervisor, in the exercise of the supervisor and the Company’s discretion, and reflected by the SAVVIS performance appraisal process may be a differentiating factor between
Participants at the same plan level. Individual payments may vary based on individual performance and the achievement of Company’s EBITDA targets, but ultimately are in the discretion of the Company. 
 Individual performance will be assessed and rated against accomplishment objectives and competencies. All payments (below, at or above target) regardless of
Participant category are discretionary based upon such factors as a discretionary assessment of individual performance by the Company. A Participant’s performance rating, as determined by the Company must be at least “Meets
Expectations” in order to receive an award. “Meets Expectations” is defined as the absence of “Needs Improvement” in the “What/How” performance rating in the SAVVIS performance appraisal process.

 Attention California Employees: If Employee resides or works in California, then Employee expressly
waives the protection of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which states: 
 A general release does
not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor. 
 8. No Waiver of Vested Rights. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the parties agree that this Agreement shall not
adversely affect, alter, or extinguish any vested right that the Employee may have with respect to any pension or other retirement benefits to which the Employee is or will be entitled by virtue of the Employee’s employment with the Company,

warrants that Employee has received any and all wages and commissions for work performed and all overtime compensation and FMLA leave to which Employee may have been entitled, and that Employee is not currently aware of any facts or circumstances
constituting a violation by the Company and/or the Company Releasees of the FMLA or the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq. (“FLSA”). 
 11. Re-Employment and Re-Instatement. Employee agrees that Employee will neither apply for nor accept employment or re-employment
with Company or any Company Releasee, in any capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to placement as a contingent worker (such as a contract hire, consultant, industry or technical assistant, or independent contractor) and that Company has no
obligation whatsoever, contractual or otherwise, to rehire, re-employ, recall or contract with Employee in any capacity in the future.

Employee’s financial advisors, Employee’s former spouse, or the IRS or other taxing authorities, or as required by law, or in response to an inquiry from any judicial, governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory agency or organization.
Any disclosure contrary to the provisions of this paragraph shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall subject employee to equitable relief and damages including, without limitations, entitling

  

 4 of 8

will be responsible for any such disclosure. If asked, but only if asked, to perform some act that would otherwise be contrary to the terms of this Agreement, Employee may state: “I am unable to further discuss that matter due to contractual
agreements with my former employer.” Notwithstanding any provision in this section 12 to the contrary, in the event and to the extent the Company discloses the terms of this Agreement, Employee will not be required to so comply with this

 15. Non-Disparagement. (a) Employee agrees not to criticize, denigrate or otherwise disparage or cause disparagement, or make
any disparaging remarks (“Disparage”), to the media, the general public, or to any other person or entity about the Company or the Company Releasees. In particular, but without limitation, Employee will not Disparage the Company or
the Company Releasees, to any of the Company’s current, former or prospective customers or clients or any of the Company’s current or former employees. Employee further represents and agrees that Employee has not and will not engage in any
conduct or take any action whatsoever to cause or influence or which reasonably could be anticipated to cause or influence any person or entity, including but not limited to, any past, present or prospective employee of, or applicant for employment
with the Company, to initiate litigation, assert any other kind of claim or take any other kind of adverse action against the Company or the Company Releasees. Employee acknowledges that this provision constitutes a material term in this Agreement,
without which the Company would not enter into this Agreement. As a result, any breach of this provision will be considered a material breach and will, among all other available remedies, excuse the Company from any further obligations to Employee
under this Agreement, including any remaining payments set forth in this Agreement. This shall not be construed as a limitation of remedies, and the Company retains all rights to pursue any and all claims or actions against Employee as a result of
any disparaging remarks made in violation of this paragraph or otherwise; and (b) Company agrees to instruct Phillip J. Koen, William D. Fathers, and Mary Ann Altergott, not to publicly Disparage Employee. In the event that Company fails to so
instruct Koen, Fathers, and Altergott, this will be considered a material breach of the Agreement and Employee shall be permitted to seek any and all available related claims or actions against the Company for such failure. In the event that Koen,
Fathers or Altergott fail to comply with

  

 5 of 8 

 
such instruction, Employee shall be permitted to pursue any available remedies against such employees in their individual capacity; provided however that this paragraph 15 shall not be construed
as an admission that there necessarily would be a bona fide claim by Employee. 
 Employee acknowledges and agrees it is the policy of the
Company not to provide references of employment other than to confirm dates of employment, job title, and compensation as may be expressly requested by Employee pursuant to a Validly Submitted Request. Employee agrees only to submit and cause such
requests to be submitted to the SVP Corporate Services (currently Mary Ann Altergott) or her written designee. 
 16. No
Admission of Wrongdoing. The parties to this Agreement agree that nothing in this Agreement is an admission by any party hereto of any wrongdoing, either in violation of an applicable law or otherwise, and that nothing in this Agreement is to be
