The Firm Securities and the Optional Securities are herein collectively called the “Offered Securities.”

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 (File No. 333-128857), including a prospectus (the “Company Basic Prospectus”) relating to the Offered Securities. Such registration statement, as amended as of the date of this agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) and, in the event any post-effective amendment thereto becomes effective prior to the Closing Date, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of such registration statement (including any information incorporated therein by reference) at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collective, the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Company Registration Statement;” any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Company Basic Prospectus relating to the Offered Securities, together with the Company Basic Prospectus, is hereinafter referred to as a “Company Preliminary Prospectus;” and the final prospectus supplement to the Company Basic Prospectus relating to the Offered Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of the Offered Securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Company Final Prospectus” (including, in the case of all references to the Company Registration Statement or the Company Final Prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 of the Securities Act (the “Incorporated Documents”)). The terms “supplement” and “amendment” or “amend” with respect to the Company Registration Statement, any Company Preliminary Prospectus and the Company Final

Prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed (but not to the extent all or a portion of such documents are furnished) by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Company Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Company Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Company Registration Statement.

4. Terms of Public Offering. The Selling Stockholder and the Company are advised by the Underwriters that they propose to make a public offering of the Offered Securities as soon after the Company Registration Statement and this Underwriting Agreement have become effective as in the Representatives’ judgment is advisable. The Selling Stockholder and the Company are further advised by the Underwriters that the Offered Securities are to be offered to the public initially at $35.64 per share (the “Public Offering Price”), and to certain dealers selected by it at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $0.8019 per share under the Public Offering Price, and that the Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may re-allow, a concession, not in excess of $0.10 per share, to certain other dealers.

Company releases earnings results or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Representatives waive, in writing, such extension (such initial period, and such initial period as extended as set forth above, as the case may be, the “Lock-Up Period”).

material fact contained in the Company Registration Statement, any Company Preliminary Prospectus and the Company Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Selling Stockholder and furnished to the Company by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party (the “Indemnified Party”) under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and it notifies an Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Stockholder bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholder or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholder under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Stockholder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers and its affiliates and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the Selling Stockholder, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

9. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Selling Stockholder for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Selling Stockholder for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Underwriting Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholder, except as provided in Section 7(b) (provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this Underwriting Agreement will

not terminate as to the Firm Securities) hereof. As used in this Underwriting Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 9. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default (including, without limitation, for the expenses incurred by the Company or the Selling Stockholder).

10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Selling Stockholder, the Company or their respective officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Underwriting Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Selling Stockholder, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Underwriting Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7(b) and Section 14 shall remain in effect.

11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and:

This Underwriting Agreement shall be subject to termination, by notice given by the Representatives to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, if: (a) after the execution and delivery of this Underwriting Agreement and prior to any Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse; and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (iv), such event, individually or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Company Final Prospectus; provided that, if any such event occurs after the First Closing Date, this Underwriting Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities.

13. Effectiveness. This Underwriting Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

14. Expenses. If this Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated before the First Closing Date (a) because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Underwriting Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Underwriting Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Underwriting Agreement and the offering contemplated hereunder, or (b) because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Selling Stockholder to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Underwriting Agreement, or if for any reason the Selling Stockholder shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Stockholder will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Underwriting Agreement and the offering contemplated hereunder).

17. Counterparts. This Underwriting Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

18. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge and agree that:

(a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Underwriting Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction by and among the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters;

(b) in connection therewith, and with the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of either the Company or the Selling Stockholder;

(c) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of either the Company or the Selling Stockholder with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising either the Company or the Selling Stockholder on other matters) or any other obligation to either the Company or the Selling Stockholder (except the obligations expressly set forth in this Underwriting Agreement or the Terms Agreement);

(d) the Company and the Selling Stockholder have each consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company and the Selling Stockholder agree they will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Stockholder, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE to (a) that certain Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), to which the Shares Offering Representatives, as representatives of the several underwriters named or to be named on SCHEDULE A thereto (the “Shares Underwriters”), are or expect to become parties along with Equinix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and i-STT Investments Pte. Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Singapore (the “Selling Stockholder”) and (b) that certain Terms Agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) to which the SAILS Offering Representative, as representative of the several underwriters named or to be named on SCHEDULE A thereto (the “SAILS Underwriters”), are or expect to become parties along with the Company, the Selling Stockholder, i-STT Investments (Bermuda) Ltd., a Bermuda corporation, and Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc., a Delaware corporation. The offering of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) to be made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is referred to herein as the “Shares Offering” and the offering of notes exchangeable into Common Stock to be made pursuant to the Terms Agreement is referred to herein as the “SAILS Offering.” Except as otherwise set forth herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall be ascribed the meanings assigned to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement or the Terms Agreement, as the case may be.

As an inducement to the Shares Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which an offering will be made that is intended to result in an orderly market for Common Stock, and as an inducement to the SAILS Underwriters to execute the Terms Agreement, pursuant to which an offering will be made that is intended to result in an orderly market for securities exchangeable for Common Stock, the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or securities convertible

into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Stock, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of both the Shares Offering Representatives and the SAILS Offering Representative. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of both the Shares Offering Representatives and the SAILS Offering Representative, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Stock.

The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of the preliminary prospectus supplement of the Company relating to the Shares Offering or, if earlier, the date of the preliminary prospectus supplement of the Company to be used in connection with the SAILS Offering, and will continue until and include the date 45 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement of the Company relating to the Shares Offering or, if later, the date of the final prospectus supplement of the Company to be used in connection with the SAILS Offering, or such earlier date that both the Shares Offering Representatives and the SAILS Offering Representative consent to in writing; provided, however, that if (1) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless both the Shares Offering Representatives and the SAILS Offering Representative waive, in writing, such extension (such initial period, and such initial period as extended as set forth above, as the case may be, the “Lock Up Period”).

The undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that written notice of any extension of the Lock-Up Period pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (which shall include information on when the Lock-Up Period is expected to expire pursuant to such extension) will be delivered by the Shares Offering Representatives or the SAILS Offering Representative to the Company and that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned. The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement during the period from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.

Any Common Stock received upon exercise of options granted to the undersigned will also be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement. Any Common Stock acquired by the undersigned in the open market after the date of the final prospectus supplement of the Company relating to the Shares Offering or, if later, the date of the final prospectus supplement of the Company to be used in connection with the SAILS Offering, will not be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement. A transfer of Common Stock to a family member or trust may be made, provided the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement prior to such transfer and no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period). In the event that the undersigned is an officer of the Company, the programmatic sales on behalf of the undersigned under any 10b5-1 sales plan in existence prior to the date of this Lock-Up Agreement (a true and correct copy of which has been provided to the Shares Offering Representatives and the SAILS Offering Representative) will not be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement

neither the Underwriting Agreement nor the Terms Agreement shall have been executed on or before February 28, 2006, (ii) before February 28, 2006, the Selling Stockholder notifies the Company, the Shares Offering Representatives and the SAILS Offering Representative in writing that it does not intend to enter into both the Underwriting Agreement and the Terms Agreement or (iii) to the extent it has been executed, (A) the Underwriting Agreement shall have been terminated prior to the First Closing Date (as defined therein) in accordance with its terms and (B) the Terms Agreement shall have been terminated prior to Closing Date (as defined therein) and in accordance with its terms. This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Very truly yours,
