This Capacity Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into on September, 28, 2000 (the “Effective Date”) between Global Crossing Bandwidth, Inc., on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, as defined herein, that may provide a portion of the services hereunder (“Global Crossing”), a California corporation located at 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 and Exodus Communications, Inc. (collectively, “Exodus” or “Purchaser”), a California corporation with its principal place of business located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000 (hereinafter, Global Crossing and Exodus may be referred to in the aggregate as “Parties”, and each singularly as a “Party”.)
PURPOSE
Exodus desires to purchase (1) telecommunications services in the form of dedicated circuit capacity from Global Crossing for the transport of Exodus’ telecommunications traffic and (2) rights with respect to international capacity on an indefeasible right of use basis. The Parties agree as follows:
1. SERVICES
(a) Global Crossing shall, in accordance with this Agreement, provide Exodus with telecommunications capacity, comprising [***] DS-0 channel miles (the “Total Initial Channel Miles”). Such capacity will include 9.953 Gbps Linear Wavelength Services (as such services become available) and 2.488 Gbps Linear Wavelength Services (the “Wavelength Services”) and OC-12 and OC-3 SONET services (the “SONET Services”) between the city pairs defined in Exhibit A attached hereto and made part hereof (“City Pairs”). As circuits are accepted, the DS-0 miles associated with such circuit will be deducted against the Total Initial Channel Miles. Within sixty (60) days after execution of this Agreement, the parties will establish procedures for auditing the Total Initial Channel Miles. The minimum term for all circuits shall be [***]. Global Crossing will provide SONET Services and Wavelength Services in accordance with the Technical Specifications set forth in Exhibit C. Exodus may order additional capacity pursuant to such other exhibits as the Parties may from time to time execute and attach hereto (the “Exhibits”), upon the same terms as to pricing, payment arrangements and term of Agreement as set forth in Article 2. All capacity under the Exhibits is collectively referred to as the “Services”. All rights of ownership in the Global Crossing network, the fiber and the related electronics used in providing the Services remain with Global Crossing. This Agreement is not intended to lease or sell any interest in the Global Crossing network to Exodus.
(b) For all 9.953 Gbps Linear Wavelength Services, 2.488 Gbps Linear Wavelength Services, OC-12 and OC-3 SONET Services between any City Pair, the conversion rates as set forth in the Mileage Conversion Matrix in Exhibit D shall apply.
(c) During the Initial Term of this Agreement (as defined in Section 2 below), Exodus shall have the right to replace any previously installed circuit between any City Pair with a circuit between any other City Pair, subject to availability, at no additional charge except as set forth below. If the new circuit is for a greater number of DS-0 channel miles, upon Acceptance (as defined below) of the new circuit, the higher number of DS-0 channel miles will begin to be deducted against the Total Initial Channel Miles. If the new circuit is for a lower number of DS-0 channel miles, and the existing circuit has been in service less than [***], the number of DS-0 miles associated with the existing circuit will continue to be deducted from the Total Initial Channel Miles for the remainder of such [***] period in addition to the applicable deduction for the new circuit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the capacity level for any physical route exceed the equivalent of (2) 9.953 Gbps circuits, without Global Crossing’s consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. If Exodus orders additional capacity under this Agreement then for each subsequent billion DS-0 channel miles ordered, the capacity level for any physical route will not exceed the equivalent of (2) 9.953 Gbps circuits, without Global Crossing’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
(d) Exodus shall have the right at any time to replace any previously installed circuit between any City Pair with a circuit of greater DS-0 miles between the same City Pair at no additional charge except for as set forth below. Upon Acceptance of the new circuit, the increased number of DS-0 miles will begin to be deducted against the Total Initial Miles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the capacity level for any physical route exceed the equivalent of (2) 9.953 Gbps circuits, without Global Crossing’s consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld. If Exodus orders additional capacity under this Agreement then for each subsequent billion DS-0

channel miles ordered, the capacity level for any physical route will not exceed the equivalent of (2) 9.953 Gbps circuits, without Global Crossing’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
(e) Global Crossing will deliver and Exodus will take the Services in accordance with the Take Down Schedule set forth in Exhibit D.
(f) Colocation will be provided in accordance with Exhibit B.
(g) The parties hereby agree to the provisions of Exhibit F which sets out the terms and conditions upon which Global Crossing shall grant and Exodus shall acquire rights to certain international capacity on an indefeasible right of use basis. Save for this provision and save where expressly stated otherwise in Exhibit F the provisions of this Agreement will not apply to Exhibit F.
2. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT:
This Agreement shall, subject to the termination provisions set out in Section 4 of this Agreement, remain in effect for a period of ten (10) years from the date that the first circuit is made available to Exodus under this Agreement (“Initial Term”). Within six months of the end of the Initial Term the parties, will negotiate in good faith to determine whether and upon what terms this Agreement will renew for an additional term. If the parties fail to reach agreement as to the terms of any renewal, this Agreement will terminate at the end of the Initial Term.
3. BILLING AND PAYMENT; SEGMENT/CIRCUIT ACCEPTANCE
(a) Exodus shall pay Global Crossing $ [***] as a non-recurring, non-refundable charge (the “Initial Total Non-Recurring Charge”) for the Total Initial Channel Miles. Exodus shall pay Global Crossing the Initial Total Non-Recurring Charge by wire transfer to the designated Global Crossing account on 29 September 2000. Exodus is also liable for applicable taxes and governmental assessments with respect to its use or purchase of the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exodus shall have no obligation to pay or be liable to pay any taxes on the gross income or net receipts of Global Crossing levied or assessed on or related to any payments made by Exodus to Global Crossing under this Agreement.

EXHIBIT B
COLOCATION SERVICE
All Colocation facilities are pending Global Crossing’s Engineering approval based upon the information provided to Global Crossing by Exodus in the Colocation Service Inquiry From. Any approved facilities shall be presented to Exodus as an amendment pursuant to Section 1.A. below.
1. LICENSE:
A. Global Crossing hereby grants Exodus a license to occupy certain designated space (the “Space”) within a designated Global Crossing premise (the “Facility”). Separate “Colocation Schedules” may be attached hereto from time to time covering for each separate site where Colocation will be established. All Colocation Schedules, upon their execution by both Parties, shall be incorporated herein and shall become a part hereof. By executing a Colocation Schedule, Exodus accepts the Space on an “AS-IS, WHERE IS” basis. Exodus may only use the Space to install, maintain, monitor, operate, replace, repair and remove certain of its telecommunications equipment (the “Equipment”) as specified on the Colocation Schedule.
B. Exodus acknowledges that it has been granted only a license to occupy the Space and that it has no real property interests therein. Exodus shall not utilize the Facility for any unlawful purposes, assign, mortgage, sublease, encumber or otherwise transfer any Space or license granted hereunder. Any attempt by Exodus to encumber the Space or permit the use or occupancy by anyone other than Exodus shall be void.
C. Exodus may utilize the Space and the Equipment to receive services from third party providers, other than for intercity domestic backbone capacity. Global Crossing will permit access to the Space by the third party providers in accordance with the terms herein.
2. TERM AND TERMINATION:
A. The term of a license shall be as set forth in the applicable Colocation Schedule and shall commence on the first day the Space is made available by Global Crossing (the “Commencement Date”), but shall be immediately terminable by Global Crossing upon the termination, expiration or cancellation for any reason of (i) any underlying agreement between Global Crossing and any other party involving Global Crossing’s continued use of the Facility, or (ii) this Agreement. Following the expiration of the license term as set forth in the Colocation Schedule for a Space, Exodus’s license shall automatically renew on a month to month basis in accordance with the same terms and conditions specified herein, unless terminated by either Exodus or Global Crossing upon sixty (60) days prior written notice.
B. Global Crossing shall not be liable to Exodus in any way as a result of Global Crossing’s failure (for any reason) to tender possession of the Space to Exodus on or before the commencement date listed in the Colocation Schedule. Any delay in tendering possession of the Space to Exodus for any reason other than the acts or omissions of Exodus shall relieve Exodus of its obligation to pay the monthly recurring charges (MRC) set forth in the Colocation Schedule until possession of the Space is delivered to Exodus.
3. CHARGES, FEES and TAXES:
A. MRCs shall be payable in advance and without notice or demand and without abatement, deduction, counterclaim or setoff commencing on the first day the Space is made available by Global Crossing and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter. Installation and non-recurring charges are due when invoiced. MRCs shall be prorated for partial months. The MRCs may be increased from time to time during the term of the license by reason of (i) any increases payable by Global Crossing to its landlord(s) under the lease for the Facility or Rights of Way in which the Space is located; (ii) any increases incurred by Global Crossing in any of the services to the Facility procured by Global Crossing directly from the provider thereof; and (iii) any increases in real property taxes assessed against the Facility which Global Crossing is liable to pay. Exodus’s share of any such increases shall be pro-rated based on the number of innerduct linear feet in the Space as a percentage of the total number of innerduct linear feet in the Facility.
B. In addition, Exodus shall be fully responsible for the prompt payment of all federal, state or local taxes, however denominated, based on or calculated with respect to the amounts payable by Exodus (including but not limited to sales/use, rental and gross receipts taxes or surcharges) and all taxes (including, but not limited to
9
franchise, income and miscellaneous taxes) which are the liabilities of Exodus under (i) appropriate standard industry practices (including telecommunications, fiber optic and rental industries), (ii) applicable law and (iii) as otherwise agreed at any time between Exodus and Global Crossing; provided, however, the taxes on Global Crossing’s income and property shall be the sole responsibility of Global Crossing.
4. MAKE-READY:
If applicable, Exodus shall pay Global Crossing the amount set forth in each Colocation Schedule for the cost of engineering or improvements to the Space required to be made by Global Crossing in order to accommodate Exodus’s Colocation into the Space (the “Make-Ready Fee”). The Make-Ready Fee shall be payable to Global Crossing upon Exodus’s execution of the Colocation Schedule for the Space. Title to such improvements shall remain vested in Global Crossing.
5. MAINTENANCE:
A. Global Crossing shall be responsible for maintenance of the Facility and the Space.

(vi) All cabling regardless of location, shall be tied and organized, run to the side of the rack, and labeled. Connectors must be secured in the interface socket.
(vii) Exodus must provide for remote access (via modem or other means) where available, in order to administer, configure, monitor and operate the Equipment.
(viii) Exodus shall, at all times, comply with Global Crossing’s rules and regulations regarding access to its facilities, including without limitation, adequate notice before entry (not less than one business day), appropriate dress and professional conduct. Global Crossing may remove any personnel of Exodus not in compliance with its rules and regulations, and may prohibit access by any person at its reasonable discretion.
6. APPROVALS:
A. Exodus shall submit to Global Crossing all building construction and electrical requirements and, architectural and engineering drawings indicating the proposed installation for approval. Exodus may not perform any construction or install any Equipment without written approval from Global Crossing. Global Crossing reserves the right to accept or reject Exodus’s design at its reasonable discretion. All costs of design work shall be Exodus’s responsibility.

Private Line Services will be provided by using SONET over a Dense Wavelength Division Mulitplexor (DWDM) system, directly over a DWDM system, or directly over fiber.
Performance Standards and Transmission Specifications for Private Line Service(s) provided on Supplier’s network under this Agreement are [***]% available seconds per year.
II. WAVELENGTH:
A. Exodus acknowledges that (i) the circuits used for the Wavelength Services are not protected by a restoration protocol within or external to the SONET frame structure, (ii) Global Crossing will not provide Wavelength Services using conventional SONET TDM add/drop multiplexers using a BLSR or UPSR or linear restoration protocol within or external to the SONET frame structure, and (iii) the interoperability of the individual circuits is dependent upon the joint interconnection of the interface between Global Crossing’s WDM system and Exodus’s source systems and facilities. Exodus’s source systems will operate within the conventional 1310nm and 1550nm passbands, using Short Reach, Intermediate Reach, or Long Reach optic, as defined in Telcordia GR-253-CORE. Except with Exodus’s prior written consent, Global Crossing will provide the Wavelength Services solely over Global Crossing’s facilities-based TDM / WDM network and fiber, equipment or other WDM service(s) owned or controlled by Global Crossing and its Affiliates.
B. The Wavelength Services will be configured as follows:
(i) WDM Transmission System: WDM transmission equipment for each unprotected OC-48 (2.488Gb/s) channel, such as WDM Terminals, in-line amplifiers, regenerators and optical layer cross-connect equipment necessary to provide the Wavelength Services; and
(ii) OC-48 (2.488Gb/s) TDM equipment used in conjunction with the WDM system: OC-48 transparent TDM transmission equipment for each unprotected OC-48 channels capable of use on each route. Equipment such as WDM transponders, regenerators and wavelength converters to provision OC-48 circuits. Exodus’s equipment may be connected through collocated equipment at facilities where both Global Crossing and Exodus have equipment or in a mid-span optical meet.
(iii) At each of the end-point points of presence (“POPs”), Exodus will be responsible for providing all equipment necessary to interconnect with the Global Crossing Network. All Exodus equipment will be and remain the property of Exodus, except where Exodus fails to remove such equipment within thirty (30) days after the termination of the agreement for Optical Wavelength Services to or from a city, in which case, Global Crossing may deem such equipment in that city as abandoned, and may remove, store, or dispose of such equipment in its sole discretion. At each of the end-point POPs, the point of demarcation and connecting point between the Global Crossing network and any Exodus equipment will be the fiber termination panel provided by Global Crossing. Global Crossing will cooperate with Exodus’s installation of fiber, cable and fiber termination equipment within POPs, including but not limited to providing Exodus (including its representatives and contractors), all necessary access to the end-point POPs at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner following reasonable advance notice consistent with the access that it may provide to other similarly situated customers whose presence may be permitted to collocate at its POPs; provided however, that with seven (7) days prior written notice, Global Crossing will provide Exodus with accompanied access at any time; and provided further, however, that in the event of an emergency, Global Crossing will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to provide accompanied access at any time of the day upon one (1) hour’s notice (such notice being intended for Global Crossing to ensure that an escort is available). Global Crossing will disclose to Exodus the physical routes that the unprotected OC-48 circuits will use between the POPs within 2 business day after receipt of an approved ASR. Should Exodus desire an

C. Time will be counted from the network alarm generation (at the point of failure) or trouble ticket creation and end at the latter of alarm condition clearance or Exodus notification to Global Crossing. The total network down time is divided by the number of documented trouble reports, to calculate the average.
D. Credits for Service Outages will be applied based on the applicable number of DS-0 miles for the affected circuit. Credits for outages will apply on a per Service Outage basis as follows:
1. In the case of protected circuits, (a) any Service Outages over [***] will result in a credit toward the Total Initial Channel Miles equal to [***]% of [***] month’s DS-0 miles, and (b) any Service Outages greater than or equal to [***] will result in a credit toward the Total Initial Channel Miles equal to [***]% of [***] month’s DS-0 miles.
2. In the case of unprotected circuits, (a) any Service Outages over [***] will result in a credit toward the Total Initial Channel Miles equal to [***]% of [***] month’s DS-0 miles, and (b) any Service Outages greater than or equal to [***] will result in a credit toward the Total Initial Channel Miles equal to [***]% of [***] month’s DS-0 miles.
E. MTTR is calculated on a monthly basis and is reported as the average repair duration in hours of all trouble tickets within the monthly reporting period.
IV. MEAN TIME TO RESPOND:
A. Global Crossing will meet a Mean Time to Respond commitment of [***] per trouble report on a 7 x 24 basis at all locations. The start time (alarm generation or trouble ticket creation) and response end-time (when Exodus is contacted) will be added to every trouble ticket.
B. Mean Time to Respond will be calculated on a monthly basis and is reported as the average duration in minutes to contact Exodus after the initial alarm or trouble report logging.
V. BIT ERROR RATE (BER):
Global Crossing, as a minimum, will perform at a BER of less than [***].
