EXHIBIT 10.2

 Exhibit 10.2 
 Execution Copy 
 AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into in St. Louis, Missouri, by and between SAVVIS, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at St. Louis, Missouri, and
Philip J. Koen, of San Jose, California (the “Executive”), effective as of the 13th day of March, 2006 (the “Effective Date”). 
 WHEREAS, the operations of the Company and its Affiliates are a complex matter requiring direction and leadership in a variety of areas, including financial, strategic planning, regulatory, community relations and
others; 
 WHEREAS, the Executive is possessed of certain experience and expertise that qualify him to provide the direction and leadership
required by the Company and its Affiliates; and 
 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company wishes to
employ the Executive as its Chief Executive Officer and the Executive wishes to accept such employment; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing premises and the mutual promises, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree: 
 1. Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby offers, and the Executive hereby accepts, employment. 
 2. Term. Subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall be for a term of four (4) years, commencing on the Effective Date, and, unless earlier
terminated by the Company with not less than six months prior written notice, shall renew automatically thereafter for successive terms of one year each. The term of this Agreement, as from time to time extended or renewed, is hereafter referred to
as “the term of this Agreement” or “the term hereof.” 
 3. Capacity and Performance. 
 (a) During the term hereof, the Executive shall serve the Company as its Chief Executive Officer. In addition, and without further compensation, during
the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be appointed and shall serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). 
 (b) During the term hereof, the Executive shall be employed by the Company on a full-time basis and shall perform the duties and responsibilities of his position and such other duties and responsibilities on behalf of
the Company and its Affiliates, reasonably related to that position, as may be designated from time to time by the Board or other designee. 
  

 1 

 (c) During the term hereof, the Executive shall devote his full business time and his best efforts,
business judgment, skill and knowledge to the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and its Affiliates and to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Executive shall not engage in any other business
activity or serve in any industry, trade, professional, governmental or academic position during the term of this Agreement, except (i) that, commencing after December 31, 2006, the Executive may serve on up to two (2) outside private
or nonprofit boards, provided that the Board determines that there is no conflict of interest or material interference with the Executive’s duties to the Company, and (ii) as may otherwise be expressly approved in advance by the Board in
writing. 
 4. Compensation and Benefits. As compensation for all services performed by the Executive under and during the term
hereof, and subject to performance of the Executive’s duties and the fulfillment of the obligations of the Executive to the Company and its Affiliates, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise: 
 (a) Base Salary. During the term hereof, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at the rate of Four Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars ($475,000) per annum, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company for its executives and subject to adjustment from time to time by the Board, in its sole discretion. Such base salary, as from time to time
adjusted, is hereafter referred to as the “Base Salary”. 
 (b) Incentive and Bonus Compensation. 
 (i) For service rendered during the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, the Executive will be eligible, at the Board’s
discretion, to receive a bonus payment equal to 75% of Base Salary, pro rated for the number of months of service rendered by the Executive during 2006. 
 (ii) Commencing on January 1, 2007 and for the remainder of the term hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the SAVVIS Management Bonus Program (the “Program”) on terms to be
determined annually by the Board prior to the commencement of each fiscal year. Nothing contained herein shall obligate the Company to continue the Program. Any compensation paid to the Executive under the Program shall be in addition to the Base
Salary. Except as otherwise expressly provided under the terms of the Program or this Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to earn bonus or other incentive compensation. 
 (c) Stock Options. As of the date the Executive commences employment hereunder, the Company shall grant to the Executive an option to purchase
1,000,000 shares of the common stock, $.01 par value of the Company (“Common Stock”) under the SAVVIS, Inc. 2003 Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”) at an exercise 

  

 2 

 
price per share equal to the public market closing price on March 10, 2006 (the “Option”). The shares that are subject to the Option
shall vest at the rate of twenty-five percent (25%) per year (each, an “Annual Vesting Period”) on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Effective Date (each a “Vesting Date”); provided that the
Executive is still employed by the Company on each such Vesting Date; provided further, that, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date without Cause or by the
Executive for Good Reason (i) the shares that are subject to the Option shall vest through the date of such termination on a pro rata basis for the period of time during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the Annual Vesting
Period in which such termination occurred, and (ii) all such vested Options shall be immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for 18 months after the date of termination. Vesting of the Option is also subject to the terms of
Section 7 of this Agreement. Except as may be modified by the terms of this Agreement, the Option and all other options granted to the Executive by the Company shall be subject to the terms of the Compensation Plan and any applicable option
certificate and shareholder and/or option holder agreements and other restrictions and limitations generally applicable to equity held by Company executives or otherwise required by law. The Executive shall not be eligible to receive any stock
options, restricted stock or other equity of the Company, however, whether under an equity incentive plan or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly authorized for him individually by the Board. Further,
prior to issuing the Option or any other stock options to the Executive, the Company may require that the Executive provide such representations regarding the Executive’s sophistication and investment intent and other such matters as the
Company may reasonably request. 
 (d) Restricted Stock Units Award. As of the date the Executive commences employment hereunder, the
Company shall grant 4,000,000 restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) to the Executive under the Compensation Plan. Restricted Stock Units will vest according to the Company’s achievement of the adjusted EBITDA
targets (the “Adjusted EBITDA Targets”) and according to the vesting percentages (“Vesting Percentages”) applicable to the restricted stock unit grants made by the Company to senior executives of the Company in
August 2005; provided that the Executive is still employed by the Company during the applicable year of determination; provided further that, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time after the first anniversary of
the Effective Date without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest through the date of such termination on a pro rata basis (using 100% vesting over a four-year period) for the period of time during which the
Executive was employed by the Company from the Effective Date to the date of termination. The Vesting Percentages are non-cumulative and none of the Vesting Percentages are contingent on achieving any prior targeted Vesting Percentages. Vesting of
the Restricted Stock Units is also subject to the terms of Section 7 of this Agreement. All unvested Restricted Stock Units shall become vested on March 13, 2010 provided that the Executive is employed by the Company through the close of
business on March 12, 2010. Each vested Restricted Stock Unit will settle into one share of Common Stock on the March 13, 2010, 

  

 3 

 
or earlier in the event of death, disability or termination of employment (the “Term of the Award”). The other terms and conditions of the
Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the Compensation Plan, the applicable restricted stock units award agreement (the “Restricted Stock Award”) and other restrictions and limitations generally applicable to
equity held by Company executives or otherwise required by law. 
 (e) Restricted Preferred Units Award. Promptly following the
Effective Date, the Company shall grant 5,208 restricted stock units (the “Restricted Preferred Units”) to the Executive such that upon settlement, each Restricted Preferred Unit, if fully vested, would settle into shares of Common
Stock (or their equivalent) equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (or the equivalent) into which a share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued on March 18, 2002 would be convertible as of the date of
settlement, or was converted into prior to such date (as adjusted for any stock split, reclassification, stock dividend or distribution or like transaction pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Plan). Each such Restricted Preferred Unit will
have a settlement cost equal to $1,561 and may be net settled. For the avoidance of doubt the Executive will be entitled to settle (according the foregoing formulae) only that portion of the Restricted Preferred Units that are vested at the
settlement date. The Restricted Preferred Units shall vest at the rate of twenty-five percent (25%) on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Effective Date, provided that the Executive is still employed by the Company on each
such vesting date; provided further, that, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason the Restricted Preferred Units
shall vest through the date of such termination on a pro rata basis for the period of time during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the Annual Vesting Period in which such termination occurred. Vesting of the Restricted Preferred
Units is also subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement. Each vested Restricted Preferred Unit will settle on the applicable vesting date (or earlier in the event of death, disability or termination of Executive’s
employment). 
 (f) Vacations. During the term hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to earn vacation at the rate of twenty
(20) days per year, to be taken at such times and intervals as shall be determined by the Executive, subject to the reasonable business needs of the Company. Vacation shall otherwise be governed by the policies of the Company, as in effect from
time to time. 
 (e) Other Benefits. During the term hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any and all Employee
Benefit Plans from time to time in effect for employees of the Company generally, except to the extent any such Employee Benefit Plan is in a category of benefit otherwise provided to the hereunder Executive (e.g., a severance pay plan). Such
participation shall be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies. The Company may alter, modify, add to or delete its Employee Benefit Plans at any time that it, in its sole judgment, determines
to be appropriate, without recourse by the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Employee Benefit Plan” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(3) of ERISA, as amended from time to time. 
  

 4 

 In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for (i) up to $10,000 of
legal expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the negotiation and finalization of this Agreement, (ii) reasonable moving expenses from San Jose, California to the area of St. Louis, Missouri, (iii) six months’ of
reasonable living and travel expenses in the St. Louis area pending completion of move referred to in clause (ii), and (iv) a an amount, if any, reflecting the Executive’s actual personal income tax liability for the applicable year of
reimbursement associated solely with the reimbursements described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph. All reimbursements contemplated by this paragraph are subject to the reasonable substantiation and other documentation
requirements of the Company 
 (f) Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable, customary
and necessary business expenses incurred or paid by the Executive in the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, subject to any maximum annual limit and other restrictions on such expenses set by the Board and to such reasonable
substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Company from time to time. 
 5. Termination of Employment and Severance
Benefits. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 hereof, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term hereof under the following circumstances: 
 (a) Death. In the event of the Executive’s death during the term hereof, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall immediately and
automatically terminate. In such event, the Company shall pay to the Executive’s designated beneficiary or, if no beneficiary has been designated by the Executive in writing, to his estate, (i) any Base Salary earned but not paid during
the final payroll period of the Executive’s employment through the date of termination, (ii) pay for any vacation time earned but not used through the date of termination, (iii) any accrued bonus compensation awarded for the fiscal
year preceding that in which termination occurs, but unpaid as of the date of termination and (iv) any business expenses incurred by the Executive but un-reimbursed as of the date of termination, provided that such expenses and required
substantiation and documentation are submitted within one hundred twenty (120) days of termination and that such expenses are reimbursable under Company policy (all of the foregoing, “Final Compensation”). The Company shall have no
further obligation to the Executive hereunder. 
 (b) Disability. 
 (i) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder, upon notice to the Executive, in the event that the Executive
becomes disabled during his employment hereunder through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result, is unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities hereunder,
notwithstanding the provision of any reasonable accommodation, for one hundred and eighty (180) days during any period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive calendar days. In the event of such termination, the Company shall
have no further obligation to the Executive, other than for payment of Final Compensation. 
  

 5 

 (ii) The Board may designate another employee to act in the Executive’s place during
any period of the Executive’s disability. Notwithstanding any such designation, the Executive shall continue to receive the Base Salary in accordance with Section 4(a) and benefits in accordance with Section 4(e), to the extent
permitted by the then-current terms of the applicable benefit plans, until the Executive becomes eligible for disability income benefits under the Company’s disability income plan or until the termination of his employment, whichever shall
first occur. 
 (iii) While receiving disability income payments under the Company’s disability income plan, the
Executive shall not be entitled to receive any Base Salary under Section 4(a) hereof, but shall continue to participate in Company benefit plans in accordance with Section 4(e) and the terms of such plans, until the termination of his
employment. 
 (iv) If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled through any illness,
injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature so as to be unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to a medical
examination by a physician selected jointly by the Company and the Executive or his duly appointed guardian, to determine whether the Executive is so disabled, and such determination shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the
issue. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit to such medical examination, the Company’s determination of the issue shall be final and binding on the Executive. 
 (c) By the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause at any time upon notice to the
Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause. The following shall constitute Cause for termination: 
 (i) Any conduct by the Executive as an employee of the Company that violates state or federal laws or Company policies and standards of conduct, 
 (ii) Dishonesty by the Executive in performance of his duties as an employee of the Company, or 
 (iii) Willful misconduct by the Executive that the Executive knows (or should know) will materially injure the reputation of the Company; 
 Upon
the giving of notice of termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other than for Final Compensation. 
  

 6 

 (d) By the Company Other than for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment
hereunder other than for Cause at any time upon notice to the Executive. In the event of such termination, in addition to Final Compensation and in lieu of any benefits which might otherwise be payable to the Executive under a separate severance
agreement as a result of such termination, then, until the conclusion of a period equal to eighteen (18) months following the date of termination, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date
of termination and, subject to any employee contribution applicable to the Executive on the date of termination, shall continue to contribute to the premium cost of the Executive’s participation in the Company’s group medical and dental
plans, provided that the Executive is entitled to continue such participation under applicable law. In addition, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount, in equal monthly installments commencing as soon as the determination of the amount can
be made in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof and concluding at the end of the twelve month period following the date of termination, equal to the pro rata share of any accrued bonus due under Section 4(b) for the fiscal year in which the
termination occurs (determined by pro-rating the accrued bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurs through the date of termination). Any obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder is conditioned, however, upon
the Executive signing and returning to the Company a release of claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release of Claims”). The Release of Claims required for separation benefits in accordance
with Section 5(d) and/or Section 5(e) hereof creates legally binding obligations on the part of the Executive, and the Company and its Affiliates therefore advise the Executive to seek the advice of an attorney before signing it. Base
Salary to which the Executive is entitled hereunder shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company, and will begin at the Company’s next regular payroll period which is at least five business days following the
later of the effective date of the Release of Claims or the date the Release of Claims, signed by the Executive, is received by the Company, but the first payment shall be retroactive to next business day following the date of termination.

 (e) By the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason, upon not less than ten
(10) days’ written notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Good Reason. The following shall constitute Good Reason for termination by the Executive: 
 (i) Removal of the Executive, without his consent, from the position of Chief Executive Officer or member of the Board of the Company (or
a successor corporation); 
 (ii) Material diminution in the nature or scope of the Executive’s responsibilities, duties
or authority; provided, however, that diminution of the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any sale or transfer of equity, property or other assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall not, by itself, constitute “Good
Reason”; or 
  

 7 

 (iii) Failure of the Company to provide the Executive the Base Salary and benefits in
accordance with the terms of Section 4 hereof, excluding an inadvertent failure which is cured within ten business days following notice from the Executive specifying in detail the nature of such failure. 
 In the event of termination in accordance with this Section 5(e), and in lieu of any other benefits which may otherwise be payable to the Executive under a separate
severance agreement as a result of such termination, then the Executive will be entitled to the same pay and benefits he would have been entitled to receive had the Executive been terminated by the Company other than for Cause in accordance with
Section 5(d) above; provided that the Executive satisfies all conditions to such entitlement, including without limitation the signing of an effective Release of Claims. 
 (f) By the Executive Other than for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time upon not less than sixty
(60) days’ written notice to the Company, unless such termination would violate any obligation of the Executive to the Company under a separate severance agreement. In the event of termination by the Executive pursuant to this
Section 5(f), the Board may elect to waive the period of notice, or any portion thereof, and, if the Board so elects, the Company will, in lieu of such notice, pay the Executive his Base Salary for the sixty (60) day notice period or any
remaining portion thereof. The Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other than for any Final Compensation due to him. 
 (g) Timing of Payments. In the event that at the time the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates the Company is publicly traded (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), any amounts payable
under this Section 5 that would otherwise be considered deferred compensation subject to the additional twenty percent (20%) tax imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A if paid within six (6) months following the date of
termination of Company employment shall be paid at the later of the time otherwise provided in Section 5 or the time that will prevent such amounts from being considered deferred compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, all
with due regard for preserving the economic intentions of the parties. 
 (h) Post-Agreement Employment. In the event the Executive
remains in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates following termination of this Agreement, by the expiration of the term or otherwise, then such employment shall be at will. 
 6. Effect of Termination. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to any termination pursuant to Section 5. 
 (a) Payment by the Company of any Base Salary and contributions to the cost of the Executive’s continued participation in the Company’s group
health and dental plans that may be due the Executive, in each case under the applicable termination provision of Section 5, 

  

 8 

 
shall constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Executive. The Executive use his reasonable best efforts to promptly give the Company notice of
all facts necessary for the Company to determine the amount and duration of its obligations in connection with any termination pursuant to Section 5(d) or 5(e) hereof. 
 (b) Except for any right of the Executive to continue medical and dental plan participation in accordance with applicable law, benefits shall terminate
pursuant to the terms of the applicable benefit plans based on the date of termination of the Executive’s employment without regard to any continuation of Base Salary or other payment to the Executive following such date of termination.

 (c) Provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination if so provided herein or if necessary or desirable to accomplish the
purposes of other surviving provisions, including without limitation the obligations of the Executive under Sections 8, 9 and 10 hereof. The obligation of the Company to make payments to or on behalf of the Executive under Section 5(d) or 5(e)
hereof is expressly conditioned upon the Executive’s continued full performance of his obligations under Sections 8, 9 and 10 hereof. The Executive recognizes that, except as expressly provided in Section 5(d) or 5(e) hereof, no
compensation is earned after the termination of employment. 
 7. Change of Control. 
 (i) The shares subject to the Option and the Restricted Stock Units and the Restricted Preferred Units shall become one hundred percent
(100%) vested upon the earliest to occur of (x) following a Change of Control, the Executive no longer having the same job title, role or responsibilities, or not being a member of the Board of Directors of the Company or its successor,
but not earlier than nine months following the Change of Control, (y) the Executive’s termination without Cause following a Change of Control, or (z) a date determined by the Board; provided however, that if a definitive
agreement governing a Change of Control is signed within nine months from the Effective Date and vesting as a result of such Change of Control occurs under this Section 7(i) within 12 months from the Effective Date, such vesting will be limited
to $8.0 million of pre-tax value, unless otherwise approved by the Board. 
 (ii) Payments under Section 7(i) shall be
made without regard to whether the deductibility of such payments would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G”) and without regard to whether such payments (or any other payments or benefits) would
subject Executive to the U.S. federal excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”). If any portion of the payments or benefits to or for the benefit of
Executive (including, but not limited to, payments and benefits under this Agreement but determined without regard to this paragraph) constitutes an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G (the aggregate of such
payments being hereinafter 

  

 9 

 
referred to as the “Excess Parachute Payments”), the Company shall promptly pay to Executive an additional amount (the “gross-up
payment”) that after reduction for all taxes (including but not limited to the Excise Tax) with respect to such gross-up payment equals the Excise Tax, if any, with respect to the Excess Parachute Payments. For reporting purposes only, the
determination as to whether Executive’s payments and benefits include Excess Parachute Payments and, if so, the amount of such payments, the amount of any Excise Tax owed with respect thereto, and the amount of any gross-up payment shall be
made at the Company’s expense by the Company’s accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). 
 (iii) As
used in this Section 7, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings: (i) “Change of Control” shall mean a transaction in which any Person or group (other a group consisting solely of one or more
Existing Series A Investors, together or individually) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 50% (on a fully diluted basis) of the total capital
stock of the Company entitled to vote ordinarily for the election of directors; and (ii) “Existing Series A Investors” is defined to mean any of all of the current holders of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock and each such holder’s respective Affiliates. 
 8. Confidential Information. 
 (a) The Executive acknowledges that the Company and its Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information, that the Executive may develop
Confidential Information for the Company or its Affiliates and that the Executive may learn of Confidential Information during the course of employment. The Executive will comply with the policies and procedures of the Company and its Affiliates for
protecting Confidential Information, and shall not disclose to any Person or use, other than as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company and its Affiliates, any Confidential
Information obtained by the Executive incident to his employment or other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Executive understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his employment terminates, regardless of
the reason for such termination. The confidentiality obligation under this Section 8 shall not apply to information which is generally known or readily available to the public at the time of disclosure or becomes generally known through no
wrongful act on the part of the Executive or any other Person having an obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any of its Affiliates. 
 (b) The Executive shall safeguard all documents, records, tapes and other media of every kind and description relating to the business, present or otherwise, of the Company or its Affiliates and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof
constituting Confidential Information which are in the Executive’s possession or control and shall surrender to the Company at the time his employment terminates, or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify, all
Documents then in the Executive’s possession or control. 
  

 10 

 (c) In the event that Executive is requested or becomes legally compelled (by oral questions,
interrogatories, requests for information or documents, deposition, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Executive shall, where permitted under applicable law, rule or
regulation, provide written notice to the Company promptly after such request so that the Company may, at its expense, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (the Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection
with seeking such order or other remedy). In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Executive shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Executive is advised by counsel is required,
and shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. In addition, the Executive may disclose Confidential Information in the course of inspections, examinations or
inquiries by federal or state regulatory agencies and self regulatory organizations that have requested or required the inspection of records that contain the Confidential Information provided that the Executive exercises reasonable efforts to
obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information. To the extent such information is required to be disclosed and is not accorded confidential treatment as described in the immediately preceding
sentence, it shall not constitute “Confidential Information” under this Agreement. 
 9. Assignment of Rights to Intellectual
Property. The Executive shall promptly and fully disclose all Intellectual Property to the Company. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) the Executive’s full
right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property. The Executive agrees to execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without limitation
the execution and delivery of instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to
the Intellectual Property. The Executive will not charge the Company for time spent in complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works that the Executive creates shall be considered “work made for hire” and shall, upon creation,
be owned exclusively by the Company. 
 10. Restricted Activities. The Executive agrees that some restrictions on his activities
during and after his employment are necessary to protect the good will, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates: 
 (a) While the Executive is employed by the Company and for a period equal to eighteen (18) months the termination of such employment by the Company or the Executive, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, compete with the Company or any of its Affiliates within the geographic area in which the Company does business or undertake any planning for any
business competitive with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, the Executive agrees not to engage in any manner in any activity that is 

  

 11 

 
directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates as conducted or under consideration at the time of termination
of the Executive’s employment, and further agrees not to work or provide services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Person who is engaged in any business
that is competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates for which the Executive has provided services. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Executive’s passive ownership of two percent (2%) or less of the
equity securities of any publicly traded company. 
 (b) The Executive agrees that, during his employment with the Company, he will not
undertake any outside activity, whether or not competitive with the business of the Company or its Affiliates, that could reasonably give rise to a conflict of interest or otherwise materially interfere with his duties and obligations to the Company
or any of its Affiliates. 
 (c) The Executive agrees that, during his employment and during the eighteen (18) month period immediately
following termination of his employment, regardless of the reason therefor, the Executive will not directly or indirectly (a) solicit or encourage any customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship
with them; or (b) seek to persuade any such customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates to conduct with anyone else any business or activity which such customer conducts with the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided that these
restrictions shall apply only if the Executive has performed work for such Person during his employment with the Company or one of its Affiliates or has been introduced to, or otherwise had contact with, such Person as a result of his employment or
other associations with the Company or one of its Affiliates or has had access to Confidential Information which would assist in the Executive’s solicitation of such Person. 
 (d) The Executive agrees that, during his employment and for the eighteen (18) month period immediately following termination of his employment, the
Executive will not, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit for hiring any person who is at the time of such solicitation an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or seek to persuade any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates
to discontinue employment or (b) solicit or encourage any independent contractor providing services to the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with them. 
 11. Enforcement of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to Sections 8, 9 and 10 hereof. The Executive agrees without reservation that each of the restraints contained herein is necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the good will,
Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates; that each and every one of those restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area; and that these restraints,
individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent him from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Executive is bound by these restraints. The Executive further agrees that he will never 

  

 12 

 
assert, or permit to be asserted on his behalf, in any forum, any position contrary to the foregoing. The Executive further acknowledges that, were he to
breach any of the covenants contained in Sections 8, 9 or 10 hereof, the damage to the Company would be irreparable. The Executive therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary
and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of said covenants, without having to post bond, as well as an award of all attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by it in the enforcement of its
rights against such breach or threatened breach. The parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of Section 8, 9 or 10 hereof shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being
extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
 12. Conflicting Agreements. The Executive hereby represents and warrants that the execution of this Agreement and the performance of his
obligations hereunder will not breach or be in conflict with any other agreement to which the Executive is a party or is bound, and that the Executive is not now subject to any covenants against competition or similar covenants or any court order or
other legal obligation that would affect the performance of his obligations hereunder. The Executive is party to a Transition and Severance Agreement with his former employer. The Company has been furnished with a copy of the Transition and
Severance Agreement. The Executive has advised the Company that it is his intention to fully comply with the terms of the Transition and Severance Agreement, and the Company understands and acknowledges that such compliance may preclude the
Executive from engaging in certain job-related activities that the Executive would otherwise carry out. In addition, the Executive will not disclose to or use on behalf of the Company any proprietary information of a third party without such
party’s consent. 
 13. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Executive (i) to the extent provided in its then
current Articles or By-Laws and to the same extent the Company is obligated contractually to indemnify members of the Board of Directors and (ii) from and against any and all loss, cost damage, expense (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) and liability, or claim thereof, which may be incurred by the Executive as a result of third party claims against the Executive for breach of the Transition and Services Agreement between the Executive and his immediately preceding employer.
The Executive agrees to promptly notify the Company of any actual or threatened claim arising out of or as a result of his employment with the Company or a the breach described in clause (ii) of this Section 14. The Company shall be
entitled to control the defense of any actions for which it may be obligated to indemnify the Executive hereunder and to engage counsel of its choice in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company
shall have no obligation to indemnify the Executive if the Executive has not complied with reasonable procedures and policies provided by the Company to the Executive in writing which are intended to ensure the Executive’s compliance with the
Transition and Services Agreement.

 Exhibit A 
 GENERAL RELEASE 
 I, Philip J. Koen, in consideration of and as a precondition to the
agreement by SAVVIS, Inc. or any assignee or successor in interest (“SAVVIS”) to provide payment to me under the terms of Section 5(d) (Termination) and Section 5(e) (less applicable local, state and federal
taxes and other deductions) of the employment agreement to which this Release is attached, for and on behalf of myself, my agents, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, subject to the next succeeding paragraph, do hereby release and forever
discharge SAVVIS and all of its parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, successors, and assigns, past and present, and each of them, as well as each of their respective agents, directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives,
insurers, attorneys, and joint venturers, and each of them (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims which are based upon acts or events that occurred on or before the date on which this Release becomes
enforceable, including any and all claims arising under any federal, state, or local employment-related laws or anti-discrimination statutes, which include, but are not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C.

interpreted liberally to preclude any further disputes, litigation, or controversies between me and any of the Released Parties based upon events that occurred on or before the effective date of this Release. The phrase does not cover such disputes
based upon events occurring after the effective date of this Release. 
 I am not waiving any rights or claims that may arise out of acts or

                    ,         .EXHIBIT 10.3

 Exhibit 10.3 
 Execution Copy 
 AGREEMENT 
 THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into in St. Louis, Missouri, by and between SAVVIS, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation with its
principal place of business at St. Louis, Missouri, and Jonathan Crane, of Hanover, New Hampshire (the “Executive”), effective as of the 29th day of March, 2006 (the “Effective Date”). 
 WHEREAS, the operations of the
Company and its Affiliates are a complex matter requiring direction and leadership in a variety of areas, including financial, strategic planning, regulatory, community relations and others; 
 WHEREAS, the Executive is possessed of certain experience and expertise that qualify him to provide the direction and leadership required by the Company
and its Affiliates; and 
 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company wishes to employ the Executive as
Chairman of the Company and the Executive wishes to accept such employment; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
the mutual promises, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree: 
 1. Employment. Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby offers, and the Executive hereby accepts, employment. 
 2.
Term. Subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall be for a term of four (4) years, commencing on the Effective Date, and, unless earlier terminated by the Company with not less
than six months prior written notice, shall renew automatically thereafter for successive terms of one year each. The term of this Agreement, as from time to time extended or renewed, is hereafter referred to as “the term of this
Agreement” or “the term hereof.” 
 3. Capacity and Performance. 
 (a) During the term hereof, the Executive shall serve the Company as Chairman, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In
addition, and without further compensation, during the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be appointed and shall serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). 
  

 -1- 

 (b) During the term hereof, the Executive shall perform the duties and responsibilities of his position
and such other duties and responsibilities on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates, reasonably related to that position, as may be designated from time to time by the Board or other designee. 
 (c) During the term hereof, the Executive shall devote the substantial majority of his business time and his best efforts, business judgment, skill and
knowledge exclusively to the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and its Affiliates and to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Executive shall not engage in any other business activity or serve in any
industry, trade, professional, governmental or academic position during the term of this Agreement, without informing and obtaining approval from the Board in writing. 
 4. Compensation and Benefits. As compensation for all services performed by the Executive under and during the term hereof, and subject to performance of the Executive’s duties and the fulfillment of the
obligations of the Executive to the Company and its Affiliates, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise: 
 (a) Base Salary. During the
term hereof, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at the rate of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) per annum, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company for its executives and subject to
adjustment from time to time by the Board, in its sole discretion. Such base salary, as from time to time adjusted, is hereafter referred to as the “Base Salary”. 
 (b) Incentive and Bonus Compensation. 
 (i) For service rendered during the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, the Executive will be eligible, at the Board’s discretion, to receive a bonus payment equal to 50% of Base Salary, pro rated for the number
of months of service rendered by the Executive during 2006. 
 (ii) Commencing on January 1, 2007 and for the remainder of the term
hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the SAVVIS Management Bonus Program (the “Program”) on terms to be determined annually by the Board prior to the commencement of each fiscal year. Nothing contained herein
shall obligate the Company to continue the Program. Any compensation paid to the Executive under the Program shall be in addition to the Base Salary. Except as otherwise expressly provided under the terms of the Program or this Agreement, the
Executive shall not be entitled to earn bonus or other incentive compensation. 
 (c) Stock Options. As of the date the Executive
commences employment hereunder, the Company shall grant to the Executive an option to purchase 300,000 shares of the common stock, $.01 par value of the Company (“Common Stock”) under the SAVVIS, Inc. 2003 Compensation Plan (the
“Compensation Plan”) at an exercise price per share equal to the public market closing price on the business day immediately prior to the date 

  

 -2- 

 
of grant (the “Option”). The shares that are subject to the Option shall vest at the rate of Twenty-Five percent (25%) per year (each,
an “Annual Vesting Period”) on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Effective Date (each a “Vesting Date”), provided that the Executive is still employed by the Company on each such Vesting Date;
provided further, that, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the shares that are subject to the Option shall
vest through the date of such termination on a pro rata basis for the period of time during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the Annual Vesting Period in which such termination occurred. Vesting of the Option is also subject to the
terms of Section 7 of this Agreement. Except as may be modified by the terms of this Agreement, the Option and all other options granted to the Executive by the Company shall be subject to the terms of the Compensation Plan and any applicable
option certificate and shareholder and/or option holder agreements and other restrictions and limitations generally applicable to equity held by Company executives or otherwise required by law. The Executive shall not be eligible to receive any
stock options, restricted stock or other equity of the Company, however, whether under an equity incentive plan or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly authorized for him individually by the Board.
Further, prior to issuing the Option or any other stock options to the Executive, the Company may require that the Executive provide such representations regarding the Executive’s sophistication and investment intent and other such matters as
the Company may reasonably request. 
 (d) Restricted Stock Units Award. As of the date the Executive commences employment hereunder,
the Company shall grant 1,200,000 restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) to the Executive under the Compensation Plan. Restricted Stock Units will vest according to the Company’s achievement of the adjusted EBITDA
targets (the “Adjusted EBITDA Targets”) and according to the vesting percentages (“Vesting Percentages”) applicable to the restricted stock unit grants made by the Company to senior executives of the Company in
August 2005; provided that the Executive is still employed by the Company during the applicable year of determination, provided further that, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time after the first anniversary of
the Effective Date without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest through the date of such termination on a pro rata basis (using 100% vesting over a four year period) for the period of time during which the
Executive was employed by the Company from the Effective Date to the date of termination. The Vesting Percentages are non-cumulative and none of the Vesting Percentages are contingent on achieving any prior targeted Vesting Percentages. Vesting of
the Restricted Stock Units is also subject to the terms of Section 7 of this Agreement. All unvested Restricted Stock Units shall become vested on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that the Executive is employed by the
Company through the close of business on the day preceding the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date. Each vested Restricted Stock Unit will settle into one share of Common Stock on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, or earlier in the
event of death, disability or termination of employment (the “Term of the Award”). The other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the Compensation Plan, the applicable restricted stock
units award agreement (the “Restricted Stock Award”) and other restrictions and limitations generally applicable to equity held by Company executives or otherwise required by law. 
  

 -3- 

 (e) Restricted Preferred Units Award. Promptly following the Effective Date, the Company shall
grant 1,562 restricted stock units (the “Restricted Preferred Units”) to the Executive such that upon settlement, each Restricted Preferred Unit, if fully vested, would settle into shares of Common Stock (or their equivalent) equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock (or the equivalent) into which a share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued on March 18, 2002 would be convertible as of the date of settlement, or was converted into prior to
such date (as adjusted for any stock split, reclassification, stock dividend or distribution or like transaction pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Plan). Each such Restricted Preferred Unit will have a settlement cost equal to $1,561
and may be net settled. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive will be entitled to settle (according to the foregoing formulae) only that portion of the Restricted Preferred Units that are vested at the settlement date. The Restricted Preferred
Units shall vest at the rate of twenty-five percent (25%) on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the Effective Date, provided that the Executive is still employed by the Company on each such vesting date; provided further, that, if
the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Restricted Preferred Units shall vest through the date of such
termination on a pro rata basis for the period of time during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the Annual Vesting Period in which such termination occurred. Vesting of the Restricted Preferred Units is also subject to the
provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement. Each Restricted Preferred Unit will settle on the applicable vesting date (or earlier in the event of death, disability or termination of Executive’s employment). 
 (f) Vacations. During the term hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to earn vacation at the rate of fifteen (15) days per year, to be
taken at such times and intervals as shall be determined by the Executive, subject to the reasonable business needs of the Company. Vacation shall otherwise be governed by the policies of the Company, as in effect from time to time. 
 (e) Other Benefits. During the term hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any and all Employee Benefit Plans from time to time
in effect for employees of the Company generally, except to the extent any such Employee Benefit Plan is in a category of benefit otherwise provided to the hereunder Executive (e.g., a severance pay plan). Such participation shall be subject
to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies. The Company may alter, modify, add to or delete its Employee Benefit Plans at any time that it, in its sole judgment, determines to be appropriate, without
recourse by the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Employee Benefit Plan” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(3) of ERISA, as amended from time to time. 
  

 -4- 

 In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for up to $5,000 of legal
expenses related to finalizing this Agreement, such reimbursement subject to the reasonable substantiation and other documentation requirements of the Company. 
 (f) Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable, customary and necessary business expenses incurred or paid by the Executive in the performance of his duties and
responsibilities hereunder, subject to any maximum annual limit and other restrictions on such expenses set by the Board and to such reasonable substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Company from time to time. 
 5. Termination of Employment and Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 hereof, the Executive’s employment
hereunder shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term hereof under the following circumstances: 
 (a) Death. In the event of
the Executive’s death during the term hereof, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate. In such event, the Company shall pay to the Executive’s designated beneficiary or, if no beneficiary has
been designated by the Executive in writing, to his estate, (i) any Base Salary earned but not paid during the final payroll period of the Executive’s employment through the date of termination, (ii) pay for any vacation time earned
but not used through the date of termination, (iii) any accrued bonus compensation awarded for the fiscal year preceding that in which termination occurs, but unpaid as of the date of termination and (iv) any business expenses incurred by
the Executive but un-reimbursed as of the date of termination, provided that such expenses and required substantiation and documentation are submitted within one hundred and twenty (120) days of termination and that such expenses are
reimbursable under Company policy (all of the foregoing, “Final Compensation”). The Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive hereunder. 
 (b) Disability. 
 (i) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment
hereunder, upon notice to the Executive, in the event that the Executive becomes disabled during his employment hereunder through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result, is unable to
perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, notwithstanding the provision of any reasonable accommodation, for one hundred and eighty (180) days during any period of three hundred and sixty-five
(365) consecutive calendar days. In the event of such termination, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other than for payment of Final Compensation. 
 (ii) The Board may designate another employee to act in the Executive’s place during any period of the Executive’s disability.
Notwithstanding any such designation, the Executive shall continue to receive the Base Salary in accordance with Section 4(a) and benefits in accordance with Section 4(e), to the extent permitted by 

  

 -5- 

 
the then-current terms of the applicable benefit plans, until the Executive becomes eligible for disability income benefits under the Company’s
disability income plan or until the termination of his employment, whichever shall first occur. 
 (iii) While receiving
disability income payments under the Company’s disability income plan, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any Base Salary under Section 4(a) hereof, but shall continue to participate in Company benefit plans in accordance with
Section 4(e) and the terms of such plans, until the termination of his employment. 
 (iv) If any question shall arise as
to whether during any period the Executive is disabled through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature so as to be unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, the
Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to a medical examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or his duly appointed guardian, if any, has no reasonable objection to determine whether the
Executive is so disabled, and such determination shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit to such medical examination, the Company’s determination
of the issue shall be final and binding on the Executive. 
 (c) By the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the
Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause at any time upon notice to the Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause. The following shall constitute Cause for termination: 
 (i) Any conduct by the Executive as an employee of the Company that violates state or federal laws or Company policies and standards of
conduct, 
 (ii) Dishonesty by the Executive in performance of his duties as an employee of the Company, or 
 (iii) Willful misconduct by the Executive that the Executive knows (or should know) will materially injure the reputation of the Company.

 Upon the giving of notice of termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligation to the
Executive, other than for Final Compensation. 
 (d) By the Company Other than for Cause. The Company may terminate the
Executive’s employment hereunder other than for Cause at any time upon notice to the Executive. In the event of such termination, in addition to Final Compensation and in lieu of any benefits which might otherwise be payable to the Executive
under a separate severance agreement as a result of such termination, then, until the conclusion of a period equal to eighteen (18) months following the date of termination, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive 

  

 -6- 

 
the Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination and, subject to any employee contribution applicable to the Executive on the date of
termination, shall continue to contribute to the premium cost of the Executive’s participation in the Company’s group medical and dental plans, provided that the Executive is entitled to continue such participation under applicable law. In
addition, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount, in equal monthly installments commencing as soon as the determination of the amount can be made in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof and concluding at the end of the twelve month period
following the date of termination, equal to the pro rata share of any accrued bonus due under Section 4(b) for the fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurs (determined by pro-rating the accrued bonus for the fiscal year in
which the termination of employment occurs through the date of termination). Any obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder is conditioned, however, upon the Executive signing and returning to the Company a timely and effective release of
claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release of Claims”). The Release of Claims required for separation benefits in accordance with Section 5(d) and/or Section 5(e) hereof creates legally
binding obligations on the part of the Executive and the Company and its Affiliates therefore advise the Executive to seek the advice of an attorney before signing it. Base Salary to which the Executive is entitled hereunder shall be payable in
accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company, and will begin at the Company’s next regular payroll period which is at least five business days following the later of the effective date of the Release of Claims or the date the
Release of Claims, signed by the Executive, is received by the Company, but the first payment shall be retroactive to next business day following the date of termination. 
 (e) By the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason, upon not less than ten (10) days’ written notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable
detail the nature of such Good Reason. The following shall constitute Good Reason for termination by the Executive: 
 (i)
Removal of the Executive, without his consent, from the position of Chairman of the Company (or a successor corporation); 
 (ii) Material diminution in the nature or scope of the Executive’s responsibilities, duties or authority; provided, however, that diminution of the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any sale or transfer of equity,
property or other assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall not, by itself, constitute “Good Reason”; or 
 (iii) Failure of the Company to provide the Executive the Base Salary and benefits in accordance with the terms of Section 4 hereof, excluding an inadvertent failure which is cured within ten business days following notice from the
Executive specifying in detail the nature of such failure. 
 In the event of termination in accordance with this Section 5(e), and in lieu of any other
benefits which may otherwise be payable to the Executive under a separate severance agreement as a 

  

 -7- 

 
result of such termination, then the Executive will be entitled to the same pay and benefits he would have been entitled to receive had the Executive been
terminated by the Company other than for Cause in accordance with Section 5(d) above; provided that the Executive satisfies all conditions to such entitlement, including without limitation the signing of an effective Release of Claims.

 (f) By the Executive Other than for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time upon not less
than sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Company, unless such termination would violate any obligation of the Executive to the Company under a separate severance agreement. In the event of termination by the Executive pursuant to this
Section 5(f), the Board may elect to waive the period of notice, or any portion thereof, and, if the Board so elects, the Company will, in lieu of such notice, pay the Executive his Base Salary for the sixty (60) day notice period or any
remaining portion thereof. The Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other than for any Final Compensation due to him. 
 (g) Timing of Payments. In the event that at the time the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates the Company is publicly traded (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), any amounts payable
under this Section 5 that would otherwise be considered deferred compensation subject to the additional twenty percent (20%) tax imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A if paid within six (6) months following the date of
termination of Company employment shall be paid at the later of the time otherwise provided in Section 5 or the time that will prevent such amounts from being considered deferred compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, all
with due regard for preserving the economic intentions of the parties. 
 (h) Post-Agreement Employment. In the event the Executive
remains in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates following termination of this Agreement, by the expiration of the term or otherwise, then such employment shall be at will. 
 6. Effect of Termination. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to any termination pursuant to Section 5 or otherwise.

 (a) Payment by the Company of any Base Salary and contributions to the cost of the Executive’s continued participation in the
Company’s group health and dental plans that may be due the Executive, in each case under the applicable termination provision of Section 5, shall constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Executive. The Executive shall use
his reasonable best efforts to promptly give the Company notice of all facts necessary for the Company to determine the amount and duration of its obligations in connection with any termination pursuant to Section 5(d) or 5(e) hereof.

 (b) Except for any right of the Executive to continue medical and dental plan participation in accordance with applicable law, benefits
shall terminate pursuant to the terms of the applicable benefit plans based on the date of termination of the Executive’s employment without regard to any continuation of Base Salary or other payment to the Executive following such date of
termination. 
  

 -8- 

 (c) Provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination if so provided herein or if necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of other surviving provisions, including without limitation the obligations of the Executive under Sections 8, 9 and 10 hereof. The obligation of the Company to make payments to or on behalf of the Executive
under Section 5(d) or 5(e) hereof is expressly conditioned upon the Executive’s continued full performance of his obligations under Sections 8, 9 and 10 hereof. The Executive recognizes that, except as expressly provided in
Section 5(d) or 5(e) hereof, no compensation is earned after the termination of employment. 
 7. Change of Control 

(i) The shares subject to the Option, the Restricted Stock Units and the Restricted Preferred Units shall become one hundred percent
(100%) vested upon the earliest to occur of (x) following a Change of Control, the Executive no longer having the same or substantially similar job title, role or responsibilities, or not being a member of the Board of Directors of the
Company or its successor, but not earlier than nine months following the Change of Control, (y) the Executive’s termination without Cause following a Change of Control, or (z) a date determined by the Board; provided however,
that if a definitive agreement governing a Change of Control is signed within nine months from the Effective Date and vesting as a result of such Change of Control occurs under this Section 7(i) within 12 months from the Effective Date, such
vesting will be limited to $4.0 million of pre-tax value, unless otherwise approved by the Board. 
 (ii) Payments under
Section 7(i) shall be made without regard to whether the deductibility of such payments would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G”) and without regard to whether such payments (or any other
payments or benefits) would subject Executive to the U.S. federal excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”). If any portion of the payments or benefits
to or for the benefit of Executive (including, but not limited to, payments and benefits under this Agreement but determined without regard to this paragraph) constitutes an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of
Section 280G (the aggregate of such payments being hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Parachute Payments”), the Company shall promptly pay to Executive an additional amount (the “gross-up payment”) that
after reduction for all taxes (including but not limited to the Excise Tax) with respect to such gross-up payment equals the Excise Tax, if any, with respect to the Excess Parachute Payments. For reporting purposes only, the determination as to
whether Executive’s payments and benefits include Excess Parachute Payments and, if so, the amount of such payments, the amount of any Excise Tax owed with respect thereto, and the amount of any gross-up payment shall be made at the
Company’s expense by the Company’s accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). 
  

 -9- 

 (iii) As used in this Section 7, the following capitalized terms shall have the
following meanings: (i) “Change of Control” shall mean a transaction in which any Person or group (other than one or more Existing Series A Investors, together or individually) becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 50% (on a fully diluted basis) of the total capital stock of the Company entitled to vote ordinarily for the election of directors; and
(ii) “Existing Series A Investors” is defined to mean any of all of the current holders of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and each such holder’s respective Affiliates. 
 8. Confidential Information. 
 (a) The
Executive acknowledges that the Company and its Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information, that the Executive may develop Confidential Information for the Company or its Affiliates and that the Executive may learn of Confidential
Information during the course of employment. The Executive will comply with the policies and procedures of the Company and its Affiliates for protecting Confidential Information, and shall not disclose to any Person or use, other than as required by
applicable law or for the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company and its Affiliates, any Confidential Information obtained by the Executive incident to his employment or other association with the Company or any of its
Affiliates. The Executive understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination. The confidentiality obligation under this Section 8 shall not apply to
information which is generally known or readily available to the public at the time of disclosure or becomes generally known through no wrongful act on the part of the Executive or any other Person having an obligation of confidentiality to the
Company or any of its Affiliates. 
 (b) The Executive shall safeguard all documents, records, tapes and other media of every kind and
description relating to the business, present or otherwise, of the Company or its Affiliates and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof constituting Confidential Information which are in the Executive’s possession or control and shall
surrender to the Company at the time his employment terminates, or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify, all Documents then in the Executive’s possession or control. 
 (c) In the event that the Executive is requested or become legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
deposition, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Executive shall, where permitted under applicable law, rule or regulation, provide written notice to the Company promptly after
such request so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (and you agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with seeking such order or other remedy). In the event that such protective order or other
remedy is not obtained, the Executive agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that he is advised by opinion of counsel is required, and to exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will
be accorded such 

  

 -10- 

 
Confidential Information. In addition, the Executive may disclose Confidential Information in the course of inspections, examinations or inquiries by federal
or state regulatory agencies and self regulatory organizations that have requested or required the inspection of records that contain the Confidential Information provided that the Executive exercises reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances
that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information. To the extent such information is required to be disclosed and is not accorded confidential treatment as described in the immediately preceding sentence, it shall not
constitute “Confidential Information” under this Agreement. 
 9. Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property. The
Executive shall promptly and fully disclose all Intellectual Property to the Company. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) the Executive’s full right, title and interest in
and to all Intellectual Property. The Executive agrees to execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without limitation the execution and delivery of
instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the Intellectual Property. The
Executive will not charge the Company for time spent in complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works that the Executive creates shall be considered “work made for hire” and shall, upon creation, be owned exclusively by the
Company. 
 10. Restricted Activities. The Executive agrees that some restrictions on his activities during and after his employment
are necessary to protect the good will, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates: 
 (a)
While the Executive is employed by the Company and for a period equal to eighteen (18) months after his employment is terminated by the Company or the Executive, regardless of the reason therefor, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, compete with the Company or any of its Affiliates within the geographic area in which the Company does business or undertake any planning for any
business competitive with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, the Executive agrees not to engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the
Company or any of its Affiliates as conducted or under consideration at the time of termination of the Executive’s employment, and further agrees not to work or provide services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor
or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any Person who is engaged in any business that is competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates for which the Executive has provided services. The foregoing, however,
shall not prevent the Executive’s passive ownership of two percent (2%) or less of the equity securities of any publicly traded company. 
 (b) The Executive agrees that, during his employment with the Company, he will not undertake any outside activity, whether or not competitive with the business of the Company or its Affiliates, that could reasonably give rise to a conflict
of interest or otherwise interfere with his duties and obligations to the Company or any of its Affiliates. 
  

 -11- 

 (c) The Executive agrees that, during his employment and during the eighteen (18) month period
immediately following termination of his employment, regardless of the reason therefor, the Executive will not directly or indirectly (a) solicit or encourage any customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its
relationship with them; or (b) seek to persuade any such customer of the Company or any of its Affiliates to conduct with anyone else any business or activity which such customer conducts with the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided that
these restrictions shall apply only if the Executive has performed work for such Person during his employment with the Company or one of its Affiliates or has been introduced to, or otherwise had contact with, such Person as a result of his
employment or other associations with the Company or one of its Affiliates or has had access to Confidential Information which would assist in the Executive’s solicitation of such Person. 
 (d) The Executive agrees that, during his employment and for the eighteen (18) month period immediately following termination of his employment, the
Executive will not, and will not, directly or indirectly (a) solicit for hiring any person who is at the time of such solicitation an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or seek to persuade any employee of the Company or any of its
Affiliates to discontinue employment or (b) solicit or encourage any independent contractor providing services to the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with them. 
 11. Enforcement of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to Sections 8, 9 and 10 hereof. The Executive agrees without reservation that each of the restraints contained herein is necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the good will,
Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates; that each and every one of those restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area; and that these restraints,
individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent him from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which the Executive is bound by these restraints. The Executive further agrees that he will never assert, or permit to be asserted
on his behalf, in any forum, any position contrary to the foregoing. The Executive further acknowledges that, were he to breach any of the covenants contained in Sections 8, 9 or 10 hereof, the damage to the Company would be irreparable. The
Executive therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of said covenants,
without having to post bond, as well as an award of all attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by it in the enforcement of its rights against such breach or threatened breach. The parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of
Section 8, 9 or 10 hereof shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, such provision shall
be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
  

 -12- 

 13. Conflicting Agreements. The Executive hereby represents and warrants that the execution of
this Agreement and the performance of his obligations hereunder will not breach or be in conflict with any other agreement to which the Executive is a party or is bound and that the Executive is not now subject to any covenants against competition
or similar covenants or any court order or other legal obligation that would affect the performance of his obligations hereunder. The Executive will not disclose to or use on behalf of the Company any proprietary information of a third party without
such party’s consent. 
 14. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Executive to the extent provided in its then
current Articles or By-Laws. The Executive agrees to promptly notify the Company of any actual or threatened claim arising out of or as a result of his employment with the Company. 
 15. Definitions. Words or phrases which are initially capitalized or are within quotation marks shall have the meanings provided in this Section
and as provided elsewhere herein. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply:

 (b)
“Confidential Information” means any and all information of the Company and its Affiliates that is not generally known by others with whom they compete or do business, or with whom any of them plans to compete or do business and any and

relationships. Confidential Information also includes any information that the Company or any of its Affiliates have received, or may receive hereafter, belonging to customers or others with any understanding, express or implied, that the
information would not be disclosed. 
 (c) “Intellectual Property” means inventions, discoveries, developments, methods, processes,
compositions, works, concepts and ideas (whether or not patentable or copyrightable or constituting trade secrets) conceived, made, created, developed or reduced to practice by the Executive (whether alone or with others, whether or not during
normal business hours or on or off Company premises) during the Executive’s employment and during the period of six (6) months immediately following termination of his employment that relate to either the Products or any prospective

Assignment. Neither the Company nor the Executive may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the Company may
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Executive in the event that the Company shall hereafter effect a reorganization, consolidate with, or merge into, any Person or transfer all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any Person. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Executive, their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. 
 18. Severability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and
provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 19. Waiver. No waiver of any
provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of either party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by either party of any breach of this

 GENERAL RELEASE 
 I, Jonathan Crane, in consideration of and as a precondition to the
agreement by SAVVIS, Inc. or any assignee or successor in interest (“SAVVIS”) to provide payment to me under the terms of Section 5(d)) and Section 5(e) (less applicable local, state and federal taxes and other
deductions) of the employment agreement to which this Release is attached, for and on behalf of myself, my agents, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, subject to the next succeeding paragraph, do hereby release and forever discharge
SAVVIS and all of its parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, successors, and assigns, past and present, and each of them, as well as each of their respective agents, directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives, insurers,
