 Executive will continue to
receive the healthcare and life insurance coverages in effect on his date of termination for twenty-four (24) months after the date of termination pursuant to this Section 9 just as if he had remained an active employee of the Company, subject to

 For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the happening of any of the following
events:
 (i) An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within themeaning of Section 13 (d) (3) or 14 (d) (2) of the Exchange Act) (an

Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso), excluding the Series A
Directors, shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; and provided, further however, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of or in connection with either an actual or
threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of an Entity other than the Board shall not be

  such approval by stockholders, to the consent of any government or governmental agency, the obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly by
consummation); excluding however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who are the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation or other Person which as a result of such
transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries (a “Parent Company”)) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to
such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Entity (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company, such corporation
resulting from such Corporate Transaction or, if reference was made to equity ownership of any Parent Company for purposes of determining whether clause (A) above is satisfied in connection with the applicable Corporate Transaction, such Parent
Company) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors unless such ownership resulted solely from ownership of securities of the Company prior to the Corporate Transaction, and (C) individuals who were members of the
Incumbent Board will immediately after the consummation of the Corporate Transaction constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (or, if reference was made to

4

  Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for “Cause” until there shall have been delivered to him written notice, not less than ten
(10) days prior to the proposed termination date, specifying the basis for such termination.
 For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall mean any one of
the following events which occurs without Executive’s written consent: (i) any significant diminution in Executive’s title, authority or responsibility, including any change in the reporting relationship between Executive and the CEO;
(ii) any significant reduction in Executive’s then current total compensation from that compensation paid in the prior fiscal year or calendar year; or (iii) a change of more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s permanent
workplace without Executive’s consent. 
 10. Parachute Payments. If any
cash compensation payment, employee benefits or acceleration of vesting of stock options or other stock awards Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute
payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the
“Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise
Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest
applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or
benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless Executive elects in writing a different order: reduction of cash payments; reduction
of employee benefits; and cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date
of grant of Executive’s stock awards unless Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control
shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized
accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations
hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Payment arises (if requested at that
time by the Company or Executive) or at such other time as requested by the Company or Executive. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced
Amount, it shall furnish the Company and Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determination of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final,
binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive. 
  
 
5

  11. Release. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, unless Executive shall have executed and
provided the Company with an effective release in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, Executive shall not receive any severance payments or benefits provided under this Agreement. 
 12. Confidentiality. Executive agrees that information not generally known to the public to which he will be exposed as a result of his employment by the Company is
confidential information that belongs to the Company. This includes information developed by Executive, alone or with others, or entrusted to the Company by its customers or others. The Company’s confidential information includes, without
limitation, information relating to the Company’s trade secrets, research and development, inventions, know-how, software, procedures, accounting, marketing, sales, creative and marketing strategies, employee salaries and compensation, and the
identities of customers and active prospects to the extent not publicly disclosed (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Executive will hold the Company’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, and not disclose or use it
except as authorized by the Company and for the Company’s benefit.
 Executive further acknowledges and agrees that in order to enable the Company to
perform services for its customers or clients, such customers or clients may furnish to the Company certain Confidential Information, that the goodwill afforded to the Company depends upon the Company and its employees preserving the confidentiality
of such information, and that such information shall be treated as Confidential Information of the Company for all purposes under this Agreement.
 13.
Non-Competition. Executive recognizes and agrees that Internap has many substantial, legitimate business interests that can be protected only by his agreement not to compete with Internap under certain circumstances. These
interests include, without limitation and on a national basis, Internap’s contacts and relationships with its clients and active prospects, Internap’s reputation and goodwill in the industry, and Internap’s rights in its Confidential
Information. Therefore, Executive agrees that during the term of his employment with Internap and for a period of one (1) year after his employment ends for any reason whatsoever and except as provided in the paragraph immediately following, he
shall not, voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on the behalf of another, whether as an employee, contractor, consultant, director or agent or in another capacity, engage in the businesses of (i) managed high
performance Internet connectivity, (ii) hosting or colocation services, (iii) virtual private network services (iv) content distribution network services or (v) any other line of business in which the company is then engaged for (x) any account that
is a customer of Internap or its affiliates unless he is providing substantially different services to any such customer from the services he provided to Internap or (y) any competitor of Internap or its affiliates. 
 If, within one year after commencement of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive voluntarily terminates such employment or such employment is terminated for any
reason by the Company, the non-compete period shall be equal to the number of days that Executive was an employee of the Company prior to such termination. 
 Executive also agrees that during the term of his employment with Internap and for a period of one (1) years after such employment ends for any reason whatsoever, he shall 
  
 
6

  not directly or indirectly employ or seek to employ any person employed by Internap nor directly or indirectly solicit or induce any such person to leave
Internap. 
 Executive acknowledges that the breach or threatened breach of the above noncompetition and/or nondisclosure provisions would cause irreparable
injury to Internap that could not be adequately compensated by money damages. Internap may obtain a restraining order and/or injunction prohibiting my breach or threatened breach of the noncompetition and/or nondisclosure provisions, in addition to
any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available. Executive agrees that the above noncompetition provision, including its duration, scope and geographic extent, is fair and reasonably necessary to protect Internap’s client
relationships, goodwill, Confidential Information and other protectable interests.  
 Provided that Executive has been employed with
the Company for at least one year, if Executive wishes to compete with the Company during the one-year period after his termination of employment, Executive will submit a bona fide written offer of employment he has received from a prospective
employer to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, who will analyze such proposed employment in light of the then current facts and circumstances. The Chief Executive Officer may, in his sole and reasonable discretion,
provide a written waiver of all or a portion of the non-compete limitations imposed on Executive. If such written waiver is unreasonably withheld, Executive shall remain subject to the non-compete limitations. The non-solicitation obligations set
forth above are not subject to the potential waiver described in the preceding sentence and will remain in full force and effect pursuant to its terms. Executive will fully defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any claims brought
against it by Executive or third parties as a result of any decision the Company makes not to waive Executive’s non-compete obligations. 
 14. No
Restrictions. No Restrictions. Executive represents to the Company that he has not executed or is not bound by any non-competition covenant or non-solicitation covenant or any other undertaking similar to either of the
foregoing that would prevent him from performing the duties and responsibilities of the position set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement.
 15. General
Provisions. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive, the Company and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, except that Executive may not
assign any of his duties hereunder and Executive may not assign any of his rights hereunder without the written consent of the Company, which shall not be withheld unreasonably. 
 This Agreement, together with the Exhibits, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof. It is entered into without
reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises or representations. 
 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions
hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement 
  
 
7

  executed by the Parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified so as to be rendered valid and enforceable in a manner consistent with the intent of the
Parties insofar as possible. 
 A failure of Executive or the Company to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to
assert any right Executive or the Company may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. 
 From and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede any employment, severance, change of control or other agreement, whether oral or written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
(other than arrangements effected under compensation plans generally applicable to other senior executive officers of the Company). 
 This Agreement may be
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the day and year first above written.

  EXHIBIT 10.7
 October 31, 2002
 John Scanlon
80 Crestridge Court
Danville, CA 94506
 Dear John:

This letter sets forth the substance of the transition and separation agreement (the “Agreement”) Internap Network Services Corporation (the
“Company”) proposes regarding your employment transition.
 1.        Separation. Your last day of employment with the Company shall be the earlier of January 31, 2003 or any date that you or the Company determine to
terminate your employment relationship (the “Separation Date”). On the Separation Date, the Company will pay you all accrued salary, subject to payroll deductions and required withholdings, plus accrued and unpaid vacation to date. You are
entitled to these payments regardless of whether or not you sign this Agreement.
 2.        Transition Period. From the date of this Agreement through the Separation Date (the “Transition Period”) you will continue as an employee
and will continue in your position as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Except as expressly stated herein to the contrary, this Agreement supersedes the terms of your Employment Agreement with the Company dated June 21,
2001 (the “Employment Agreement”). During the Transition Period you will exert the same level of effort and diligence on behalf of the Company as you have exerted in your capacity as CFO prior to the Transition Period.
 3.        Termination. 
 (a)      This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the mutual agreement of you and the Company; provided, however, that you have the right to terminate your employment with the Company at any time, with or without cause. 
 (b)      During the Transition Period the Company may terminate your employment with the Company after the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the breach by
you of any material term or condition of this Agreement; (ii) the misconduct or neglect on your part in the performance of any material duties that may be reasonably required of you; (iii) the commission by the you of an act of fraud,
misappropriation, embezzlement, dishonesty or any crime of moral turpitude; (iv) you become employed by or associated with any other business, in any capacity, with a competitor of Company; or (v) your death or disability.
 4.        Severance Payments. Provided that you remain employed by
the Company through January 31, 2003, you will be eligible to receive an amount equal to six (6) months of your base salary in effect as of October 31, 2002, subject to payroll deductions and required withholdings, payable on a bi-monthly basis
during that period (the “Severance Period”), plus an amount if respect of your accrued and unused vacation that will be reflected in the first paycheck
  
 
 

  during that period (the “Severance Payments”). In addition, if you timely elect continued coverage of your group health insurance under COBRA, the
Company will pay your COBRA premiums for coverage for you and your family for six (6) months following the Separation Date. Your receipt of the Severance Payment and benefits under this Section 3 is contingent upon your signing and making effective
the Release Agreement (attached as Exhibit A) on or after the Separation Date. 
 5.        Health Insurance. To the extent provided by the federal COBRA law and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies, you will be
eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits at your own expense. Later, you may be able to convert to an individual policy through the provider of the Company’s health insurance, if you wish. You will receive a separate notice
regarding your rights and obligations under COBRA.
 6.        Expense
Reimbursements. The Company will, pursuant to its regular business practice, reimburse you for expenses approved in advance by the CEO through the Separation Date, if any, that you submit within ten (10) days of the
Separation Date.
 7.        Stock Options.
Your stock options will continue to vest during the Severance Period to the full extent permitted under the terms of your written stock option agreement(s) and the applicable plan(s) governing those agreement(s). You may exercise your vested option
shares pursuant to your written stock option agreement(s) and the applicable plan(s) governing those agreement(s).
 8.        Return of Company Property. On or before the Separation Date, you must return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and
other Company property that you have had in your possession at any time, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, notebooks, correspondence, memoranda, agreements, drawings, records, business plans and forecasts, financial information,
specifications, computer-recorded information, tangible property (including, but not limited to, computers, credit cards, entry cards, computer access codes, computer programs, identification badges and keys), and any materials of any kind that
contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part).
 9.        Continuing Obligations. After the Separation Date, you will have continuing obligations to the Company under the Employee Confidentiality,
Nonraiding and Noncompetition Agreement, as referenced in Section 12 below. 
 10.      Other Compensation or Benefits. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you will not receive any additional compensation, severance, or benefits from the Company after the Separation Date.
 11.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its exhibits,
constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between you and the Company with regard to the subject matter hereof. It supersedes any and all agreements entered into by and between you and the Company, including
the Employment Agreement; provided, however, that Section 9 of the Employment Agreement regarding Employee Confidentiality, Non-Raiding and Non-Competition Agreement and Section 10 of the Employment
Agreement 
  
 
2

  regarding Proprietary Rights and Inventions and the Employee are expressly made a part of and incorporated into this Agreement, and are not superseded. This
Agreement is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein. It may not be modified except in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.
 12.      Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will bind the heirs,
personal representatives, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of each party, and will inure to the benefit of each party, its heirs, successors and assigns.
 13.      Applicable Law. This Agreement will be deemed to have been entered into and will be construed and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Washington.
 14.      Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part,
then the remaining terms and provisions hereof will be unimpaired. The court will then have the authority to modify or replace the invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that most accurately
represents the parties’ intention with respect to the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
 If this Agreement is acceptable to you, please sign below, and return the
original to me.
 Thank you for your efforts in support of the Company. We look forward to working with you during the Transition Period.
 Sincerely yours,

  EXHIBIT A
 RELEASE AGREEMENT
 (To be signed on or after the Separation Date)
 I understand that my employment with Internap Network Services Corporation (the “Company”) terminated effective _____________________, ____ (the “Separation Date”). The Company has agreed that if I
choose to sign this Release Agreement (“Release”), the Company will pay me certain severance benefits (minus the required withholdings and deductions) pursuant to the terms of the Transition and Separation Agreement dated July __, 2002
(the “Agreement”). I understand that I am not entitled to such benefits unless I sign this Release, and it becomes fully effective. I understand that, regardless of whether I sign this Release, the Company will pay me all of my accrued
salary through the Separation Date, to which I am entitled by law.
 In consideration for the severance benefits I am receiving under the Agreement, as
described therein, I hereby agree to release the Company and its officers, directors, agents, attorneys, employees, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns, of and from any and all claims, liabilities, demands,
causes of action, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, indemnities and obligations of every kind and nature, in law, equity, or otherwise, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, liquidated or contingent,
arising out of or in any way related to agreements, events, acts or conduct at any time prior to and including the execution date of this Release, including but not limited to: any and all such claims and demands directly or indirectly arising out
of or in any way connected with my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; claims or demands related to salary, bonuses, commissions, incentive payments, stock, stock options, or any ownership or equity interests in the
Company, vacation pay, personal time off, fringe benefits, expense reimbursements, severance benefits, or any other form of compensation; claims pursuant to any federal, any state or any local law, statute, common law or cause of action including,
but not limited to, the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act; the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended
(“ADEA”); the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as amended; the Washington Law Against Discrimination in Employment, as amended; the Washington Family Leave Act, as amended; tort law; contract law; wrongful discharge;
discrimination; harassment; fraud; misrepresentation; defamation; libel; emotional distress; and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 
 In releasing claims unknown to me at present, I am waiving all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction: “A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
