A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Center will end when the initial Service Term of the Licensed Space on the first Sales Order that contains Licensed Space for that IBX Center ends (such Service Term for each IBX, the “First Space Service Term”), or at the end of the then-current renewal term of the First Space Service Term if such Services are ordered during a renewal term of the First Space Service Term. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing or in an applicable change order agreed to by the parties, for each Service, upon expiration of the initial Service Term, and upon expiration of each renewal, the Service Term for such Service will renew automatically for additional terms of three (3) months each, unless either Equinix notifies Customer, or Customer notifies Equinix at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current Service Term for such Service that it has elected to terminate the Service Term for such Service, in which event the Service Term for such Service will terminate at the end of such then-current Service Term.
b. Either Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the other Party if the other Party breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except where Customer has failed to timely cure a monetary breach, if a Party fails to timely cure a material breach as to only one IBX Center, and Customer has Licensed Space in more than one IBX Center, then the non-breaching Party may only terminate this Agreement (and the corresponding Orders) as to the IBX Center where the material breach has not been timely cured, and this Agreement will remain in full force and effect as to all other IBX Centers. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, if Customer notifies Equinix’s Accounts Receivable Department in writing that any payment should be apportioned among balances owed for specific IBX Centers, Equinix shall honor such apportionment and if Customer fails to cure a monetary breach, Equinix may only terminate this Agreement (an the corresponding Orders) as to IBX Centers for which there is an outstanding balance after applying such apportionment.
c. Notwithstanding Section 8(b), the Equinix Entities may terminate this Agreement after written notice to Customer (or, at Equinix’s sole discretion, suspend the provision of Services, including discontinuing the supply of power and denying access to the IBX Center) if (i) Customer fails to cure any monetary breach of this Agreement (e.g. fails to pay any amounts owed) within ten (10) days of written notice of the same (five (5) days in the event Customer’s account is past due on three (3) or more occasions during a six (6)-month period); (ii) Customer liquidates, ceases to do business, or becomes insolvent; (iii) Customer materially breaches any provision of this Agreement that in Equinix’s reasonable judgment materially interferes with Equinix’s operation or maintenance of the IBX Center or with its other customers’ use thereof, and Customer fails to cure such breach within two (2) hours of being notified of the same or (iv) Customer materially breaches any provision of this Agreement that in Equinix’s reasonable judgment has the potential to materially interfere with Equinix’s operation or maintenance of the IBX Center or with its other customers’ use thereof, and Customer fails to cure such breach within forty-eight (48) hours of being notified of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if clause (iii) or (iv) above is applicable, while Equinix may suspend the provision of Services in accordance with the above, Equinix will not terminate this Agreement based on such clauses alone unless Customer’s breach continues for at least ten (10) days. If Equinix suspends a Service pursuant to this Section 8(c), unless Equinix has subsequently terminated this Agreement as permitted herein, Equinix will resume the discontinued Service within twenty-four (24) hours after it is reasonably satisfied Customer has cured the breach(es) which gave rise to Equinix’s right to suspend the Service. Equinix may charge a reinstatement fee equal to the direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Equinix to resume the discontinued Service.
d. The Equinix Entities or Customer may terminate this Agreement as to any affected Licensed Space or IBX Center if any portion of the IBX Center in which the affected Licensed Space is located becomes subject to a condemnation proceeding or is condemned, Equinix’s possession is otherwise terminated or abated, or as a result of a casualty (including a Force Majeure Event as defined in Section 9(n)), Equinix cannot provide Customer with the Service(s) or with access to the affected Licensed Space as contemplated herein for a period exceeding thirty (30) days.
e. Subject to Section 8(j), upon expiration or termination of an Order (or any portion thereof), all other rights of Customer with respect to the Licensed Space licensed under such Order (or the affected portion thereof) (“Terminated Space”) will terminate, and Customer will remove all of Customer’s Equipment and other property belonging to Customer or Customer’s Authorized Persons, Accompanying Persons and/or Associated Entities, but excluding any wiring, cable or other equipment or property owned, leased or licensed by any of the Equinix Entities, from the Terminated Space no later than the effective date of such termination. If Customer fails to remove any such property in accordance with this Section 8(e), the Equinix Entities will be entitled to pursue all available legal remedies against Customer, including one or more of the following remedies: (i) immediately removing any or all such property and storing it at Customer’s expense at an on-site or off-site location, (ii) shipping such property to the address set forth at the end of this Agreement at Customer’s risk and expense, or (iii) upon providing thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Customer, and if Customer fails to remove such property within such thirty (30)-day period, liquidating such property in any commercially reasonable manner and charging Customer for all costs associated with the liquidation.
f. While Customer has no right to use the Services provided under an Order after the end of the Service Term (as such Service Term may be extended by any Transition Period), if Customer does so, Customer will be obligated to pay for such Services pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any such Order, and any such Order will continue in effect for as long as the Services are used by Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in such event, any such Order will be terminable at will by Equinix effective upon ten (10) days written notice to Customer. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement would have otherwise terminated prior to Customer’s cessation of its use of the Services, this Agreement will continue in effect for as long as the Services are used by Customer, but this Agreement will be terminable at will by the Equinix Entities upon ten (10) days written notice to Customer.
g. The Equinix Entities waive, release and relinquish any statutory, common law or constitutional liens they may have or at any time hereafter may be entitled to assert against the personal property, trade fixtures and telecommunications or other equipment which Customer installs, or is otherwise located, in the Licensed Space.
h. Neither Party will be liable to the other Party for properly terminating this Agreement or any portion thereof in accordance with its terms, but Customer will be liable to the Equinix Entities for any amounts owed prior to the effective date of termination.
i. Subject to Section 8(j), notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including in any Order) to the contrary, under no circumstances will any Order survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, and under no circumstances will any Order pertaining to an IBX Center survive the termination of this Agreement as to that IBX Center. Subject to Section 8(j), none of the Equinix Entities will have any obligation to provide any Services after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, and none of the Equinix Entities will have any obligation to provide any Services at an IBX Center after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement as to such IBX Center.
j. In the event that Customer terminates this Agreement due to Equinix’s material breach, Customer may, in Customer’s termination notice, designate an effective date of termination that is no later than three (3) months after the end of the thirty-day cure period (the “Transition Period”), and each party shall be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement until such effective date of termination. During the Transition Period, Customer shall have the right to continue to receive Services pursuant to the terms and conditions (including the obligation to pay charges for the Services) of this Agreement and to use the Smart Hands Service at Equinix’s then-current published list rates minus [***] and shall continue to pay for the Services until the end of the Transition Period.

d. Any Order may be amended by a change order that expressly provides it amends such Order, but only if such change order is either executed by Equinix and Customer, or is prepared by Equinix and agreed to by Equinix and Customer, and Equinix’s and Customer’s agreement to such amendment to the Order is reflected in the manner required by the change order. Any Order amended by a change order shall thereafter, as amended, continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits, the Policies then in effect, and all Orders executed at any time during the Term, all of which are incorporated herein by reference into this Agreement, constitute the complete and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and replace any and all prior or contemporaneous discussions, negotiations, proposals, understandings and agreements, written and oral, regarding such subject matter, as well as any industry custom. This Agreement will be effective only when signed by each Party. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Subject to the next sentence below, this Agreement may be amended only in writing by an instrument signed by each Party. For purposes of clarification, the prior sentence is not intended to modify or limit Equinix’s and Customer’s rights to (i) agree to Online Orders or Phone Orders pursuant to the terms of Section 9(f) below or (ii) enter into a Sales Order executed only by Customer and Equinix.
e. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party.
f. If Customer and Equinix execute multiple Orders, each additional Order will supplement rather than replace the prior Orders, unless otherwise stated by the parties in writing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Equinix has no obligation to execute, or to amend, any Order with Customer, (ii) no Sales Order will be effective unless executed by both parties, (iii) no Online Order or Phone Order will be effective unless made by Customer and agreed to by Equinix, which agreement by Equinix will be reflected either by Equinix’s written confirmation of such Online Order or Phone Order or by Equinix’s commencement of the provision of the Services ordered under the Online Order or Phone Order, and (iv) no amendment to an Order will be effective unless the change order that is amending such Order is prepared by Equinix, and expressly provides that it amends such Order.
g. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed, and has had an opportunity to have reviewed, this Agreement (including the exhibits and the Policies), and it is the parties’ intent that this Agreement will not be construed against any Party. The section headings and captions throughout this Agreement are for convenience and reference only, and will not be used to construe this Agreement.
h. If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any Party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the same will not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the portion of the provision, if any, that is not invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the application of such provision in any other circumstances, or the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, provided that Customer maintains the right to utilize the Licensed Space for its intended purposes. All terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, and, when necessary, the court in any action between the Parties is requested to reform any and all terms or conditions to give them as much effect as possible.
i. Xxxxxxxx 0, 0, 0, 0(x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), Exhibit A, and Section (g) of Exhibit B will survive the termination of this Agreement (for a period of three (3) years after the termination of this Agreement in the case of Exhibit A of this Agreement). In addition, all provisions of this Agreement that can only be given proper effect if they survive the termination of this Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement. This Agreement will be valid as to any obligation incurred prior to termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will pay all accrued amounts owed to the Equinix Entities under this Agreement, including any amounts that are not due until after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Each Party recognizes and agrees that the warranty disclaimers and liability and remedy limitations in this Agreement are material bargained for bases of this Agreement and that they have been taken into account and reflected in determining the consideration to be given by each Party under this Agreement and in the decision by each Party to enter into this Agreement. The parties agree that the warranty disclaimers and liability and remedy limitations in this Agreement will survive and apply even if found to have failed of their essential purpose.
j. Except where otherwise expressly stated herein, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6, the rights and remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that a Party would otherwise have.
k. The Equinix Entities on the one hand, and Customer on the other hand, are independent contractors and this Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between the Equinix Entities and Customer. Neither the Equinix Entities nor Customer will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other’s behalf without the other’s prior written consent. Neither Customer nor the Equinix Entities grants the other the right to use its trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights or other designations in any promotion, publication, or press release without the prior written consent of the other Party in each case.
l. This Agreement, and the rights of Customer hereunder, are, without any further action by any Party, subject and subordinate to the leases for the IBX Centers and all superior instruments to such leases (including, without limitation, mortgages or ground leases for the IBX Centers). This Agreement is a services agreement and is not intended to and will not constitute a lease of any real or personal property. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) it has been granted only a license (“License”) to use the Licensed Space in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) Customer has not been granted any real property interest under this Agreement; and (iii) Customer has no rights as a tenant or otherwise under any real property or landlord/tenant laws, regulations, or ordinances. The Equinix Entities hereby reserve, with respect to the IBX Centers, all rights not specifically granted to Customer in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right (i) of access to and use of the IBX Centers for their own use or the use of others; (ii) to grant additional licenses to other persons or co-location customers for the use of portions of the IBX Centers; and (iii) to exercise or grant other rights not inconsistent with the rights granted in this Agreement.
m. Any Equinix Entity (the “Applicable Equinix Entity”) may permit any other Equinix Entity, or any independent contractor or other third party to perform any of the Applicable Equinix Entity’s obligations hereunder. Any Equinix Entity may assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement to any other Equinix Entity, and any Equinix Entity may assign, delegate or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Equinix Affiliate, or to a party acquiring all or
5
substantially all of an Equinix Entity’s business or assets, including through a merger, and in the event of any such assignment, transfer or delegation, and the assumption by the transferee of the obligations of such Equinix Entity hereunder, such Equinix Entity will be released from any further liability or obligation under this Agreement arising from and after the date of such assignment, transfer or delegation. Accordingly, the Equinix Entities may assign, delegate or transfer their rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Equinix Affiliate, or to a party acquiring all or substantially all of the Equinix Entities’ business or assets, including through merger and in the event of any such assignment, transfer or delegation, and the assumption by the transferee of the obligations of the Equinix Entities hereunder, the Equinix Entities will be released from any further liability or obligation under this Agreement from and after the date of such assignment, transfer or delegation. In the event that Equinix intends to so assign, delegate or transfer its rights and/or obligations in this Agreement, Equinix shall provide Customer with written notice of such intent, and unless Customer provides Equinix with written notice of its desire to terminate this Agreement no later than ten (10) days of Equinix’s notice, Customer will be deemed to have agreed to such intended assignment, delegation or transfer once it is effected.
Customer may assign this Agreement without the Equinix Entities’ consent only where the party to whom this Agreement is assigned by Customer is either an Affiliate of Customer, or is acquiring all or substantially all of Customer’s business or assets, including through merger. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all successors and permitted assigns of the Equinix Entities and Customer, who will be bound by all of the obligations of their predecessors or assignors. Except as set forth in Exhibit B of this Agreement with respect to sublicensing only, and this Section 9(m) with respect to an assignment of the entire Agreement under the conditions specified above only, Customer will not assign, delegate, transfer or sublicense all or any part of the Licensed Space.
n. Except for Customer’s obligation to pay for Services rendered, neither Party will be responsible or in any way liable, and neither Party will have any termination or other rights, arising out of or relating to any failure by the other Party to perform or any hindrance in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement if such failure or hindrance is caused by events or circumstances beyond such Party’s control, including acts of God, war, third-party labor strike, terrorist act, fire, flood, earthquake, any law, order, regulation or other action of any governing authority or agency thereof, or failure of the Internet, (each a “Force Majeure Event”); provided, however, that the Parties agree that performance by Equinix of the Services shall not be excused by reasons of interruptions of utility services or failure of power to be delivered to the IBX Center(s) by any third party (including any local utility provider).
o. All Orders are at all times subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the body of this Agreement and an Order, the body of this Agreement will control, unless the body of this Agreement or the Order states that the conflicting term in the Order controls.
p. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the parties in writing, Equinix and the applicable Equinix Entities will retain title to all parts and materials used or provided by Equinix or any of the Equinix Entities or third parties acting on Equinix’s behalf in the performance and/or furnishing of the Services.
q. The Parties agree that, with the exception of the applicable landlords of any of the Equinix Entities, there will be no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any Sublicensee, end user, customer or the insurance providers for either Party.
r. The parties specifically exclude application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods to this Agreement.
s. The Equinix Entities represent that (i) they have the legal right to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder; (ii) the performance of their obligations and delivery by Equinix of the Services to Customer do not violate any applicable laws or regulations; (iii) all requisite action has been taken by the Equinix Entities and all requisite consents required of the Equinix Entities have been obtained in connection with this Agreement, the instruments, and documents referenced herein, and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, and no consent of any other party is required; (iv) neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall result in a material breach of or constitute a material default under any agreement, document, instrument, or other obligation to which the Equinix Entities are a party or by which the Equinix Entities may be bound, or under any law, statute, ordinance, rule, governmental regulation, writ, injunction, order, or decree of any court or governmental body, as applicable to the Equinix Entities; (v) there has not been filed by or against any of the Equinix Entities or any Affiliate thereof a petition in bankruptcy, voluntary or otherwise, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any petition seeking reorganization or arrangement under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or any state thereof, or any other action brought pursuant to such bankruptcy laws with respect to Equinix; and (vi) the Equinix Entities are not in default under any lease affecting any IBX Center in which any Licensed Space is located, nor has any event occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default by Equinix or the Equinix Entities. Notwithstanding Section 6(c), in the event of a breach of the warranties set forth in this Section 9(s), Customer shall have all rights and remedies available at law and equity.
t. Upon written request by Customer, Equinix shall negotiate in good faith with one or more reputable telecommunications utility provider(s) or internet service provider designated by Customer (any such utility or internet service provider, an “Approved Fiber Provider”) to license access to, space in and use of points of entry, risers, conduits and other facilities in an IBX Center so that such Approved Fiber Provider may provide its services to Customer to the extent that Equinix is permitted to grant such access, space and right of use; provided that Equinix does not reasonably conclude that granting such access space or right of use is against Equinix’s business interests. Equinix agrees that it will provide such access, space and facilities on commercially reasonable terms as compared with terms Equinix makes available to other similar providers buying similar services at the Equinix Entities’ U.S. IBX Centers.

Exhibit A
Confidentiality Provisions
The following provisions apply with respect to the treatment of confidential information disclosed by the Parties hereto. All capitalized terms not defined in this exhibit will have the respective meanings specified in the Master Service Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached and incorporated by reference.
a. Except as expressly permitted in this Exhibit A, no Party will, without the prior written consent of the other Party, disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party to any third party. Information will be considered Confidential Information of a Party if (i) it is disclosed by the Party to the other Party in tangible form and is conspicuously marked “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or the like; (ii) it contains the disclosing Party’s customer lists, customer information, technical information, pricing information, pricing methodologies, or information regarding the disclosing Party’s business planning or business operations; or (iii) if it is information that a reasonable person would believe to be confidential information. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the terms of this Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of each Party; and (ii) the design of the IBX Centers, the Services provided and equipment used at the IBX Centers and the configuration, interconnection, switching and routing of telecommunication cables, networks and services at the IBX Centers will be considered Confidential Information of the Equinix Entities.
b. Other than the terms and conditions of this Agreement, information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information (i) is known to the receiving Party prior to receipt from the disclosing Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (ii) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the disclosing Party) to the receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party; (iv) is disclosed after the end of the Term; or (v) is independently developed by the receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will cease being confidential if, and only to the extent that, they become publicly known, except through a breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party.
c. Each Party will secure and protect the Confidential Information of the other Party (including, without limitation, the terms of this Agreement) in a manner consistent with the steps taken to protect its own trade secrets and confidential information, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. Each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information where (i) the disclosure is required by applicable law or regulation or by an order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction after giving reasonable notice to the other Party with adequate time for such other Party to seek a protective order; (ii) if in the opinion of counsel for such Party, disclosure is advisable under any applicable securities laws regarding public disclosure of business information; or (iii) the disclosure is reasonably necessary and is to that Party’s, or its Affiliates’, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants and other advisors, or the disclosure is otherwise necessary for a Party to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement, so long as in all cases the disclosure is no broader than necessary and the person or entity who receives the disclosure agrees prior to receiving the disclosure to keep the information confidential. Each Party is responsible for ensuring that any Confidential Information of the other Party that the first Party discloses pursuant to this Exhibit A (other than disclosures pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above that cannot be kept confidential by the first Party) is kept confidential by the person receiving the disclosure.
d. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in this Exhibit A or Section 9(k), during the Term, (i) any Equinix Entity may issue a press release announcing Customer’s entry into the IBX Centers after obtaining Customer’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed withheld or conditioned; (ii) Customer may issue a press release announcing Customer’s entry into the IBX Centers after obtaining Equinix’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed withheld or conditioned and (iii) either Party may publicly refer to the other Party, orally and in writing, as a customer or vendor of services of or to the other Party, as the case may be, without obtaining consent from such Party. In no event shall either Party disclose the specific IBX Centers in which Customer is located unless required to do so by law or applicable governmental regulation.
A-1
Exhibit B
Sublicensing Provisions
The following provisions apply with respect to any sublicense of Licensed Space (all capitalized terms herein having the respective meanings specified in the Master Service Agreement to which this Exhibit B is attached and incorporated by reference).
a. Customer may sublicense the Sublicensed Space to Sublicensees provided that (i) the terms and conditions of such Sublicense will be no less restrictive than this Agreement, (ii) Customer will not in its dealing with such Sublicensees act or purport to act on behalf of any Equinix Entity or landlords of any Equinix Entity, (iii) Customer will require the Sublicensees to abide by the rules set forth in the Policies, and (iv) Customer will cause all Sublicensees to agree in writing that in consideration for the sublicense, Sublicensees waive, to the maximum extent permitted under law, any and all claims of any and all types against the Equinix Entities and the landlords of any Equinix Entity, at all times, and that in no event will any Equinix Entity, or landlords of any Equinix Entity, have any liability to such Sublicensees, including liability to such Sublicensees for any damages whatsoever, including direct damages.
b. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer will remain responsible to the Equinix Entities for the performance of all of Customer’s obligations under this Agreement (including the payment of all amounts owed under this Agreement) and all other agreements between any Equinix Entity and Customer (“Related Agreements”). No sublicense agreement or arrangement between Customer and any Sublicensees will relieve Customer from any liability under this Agreement or any Related Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer is responsible for paying the Service Fees for all of the Licensed Space (including Sublicensed Space) and the charges for Services for, or relating to, any or all of the Licensed Space (including Sublicensed Space). In no event will any Equinix Entity be deemed to be providing any Services to any Sublicensee for, or relating to, the Sublicensed Space, as the provision of any such Services will be deemed to be to Customer for all purposes under this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Equinix Entity be deemed to have any obligations to any Sublicensee.
c. Customer must ensure that each and every sublicense agreement or other sublicense arrangement that Customer has with a Sublicensee does not have any terms and conditions that (i) are inconsistent with this Agreement, or (ii) seek to provide any Sublicensee with rights that Customer does not have under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any other restrictions on Sublicensees, no Sublicensee will have any right to use its Sublicensed Space in any manner that Customer is not permitted to use the Licensed Space.
d. Sublicensees do not have any rights, separate and apart from Customer’s rights, to access their Sublicensed Space. Accordingly, only Customer’s Authorized Persons at an IBX Center may access the Sublicensed Space of Sublicensees at such IBX Center. Furthermore, none of the Equinix Entities are responsible for restricting a Sublicensee’s access to Customer’s Licensed Space located in a cage or suite to which that Sublicensee has access.
e. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Sublicensee has no right to sublicense, delegate, assign or otherwise transfer its rights to use the Sublicensed Space to any other person or entity without Equinix’s written consent, which consent may be withheld for any reason whatsoever or no reason. Any such sublicense, delegation, assignment or transfer will be null and void.
f. [Intentionally deleted]
g. Without limiting Customer’s indemnification obligations under Section 5, Customer will indemnify and hold harmless the Equinix Parties from any and all liability, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or relating to (i) any claim from any person or entity, including any Sublicensee, arising from or relating to a sublicense of any Licensed Space by Customer in violation of this Exhibit B; (ii) any claim from any person or entity, including any Sublicensee, arising from or relating to any sublicense of any Licensed Space by Customer to the extent such claim is not based on Equinix’s or the Equinix Entities’ gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any claim by a customer, vendor, third-party provider or end-user of any Sublicensee, or any person or entity acting on behalf, or at the direction, of any Sublicensee relating to, or arising out of, a Sublicensee’s or any of its customers’ services, Customer’s or any of its customers’ services, or the Services provided under this Agreement (including claims relating to interruptions, suspensions, failures, defects, delays, impairments or inadequacies in any of the aforementioned services, including the Services from Equinix); and (iv) any claim by a Sublicensee to the extent that such claim, if sustained, would result in any greater obligation or liability of any Equinix Entity to such Sublicensee than such Equinix Entity has undertaken to Customer under this Agreement.

For purposes of this Exhibit C, Redundant Power Circuit Pair shall mean two identical power circuits installed in the same cabinet or rack, neither of which is a part of another pair of circuits in the same cabinet or rack and the aggregate draw of such two circuits does not exceed the rated capacity pursuant to the National Electrical Code of one (1) of the power circuits in such two circuits.
In the event a cabinet containing functioning equipment or any other location in which power is delivered to Customer Equipment (“Loaded Cabinet”) in Customer’s Licensed Space is powered by two (2) circuits from different power busses and both circuits experience a simultaneous interruption in electrical power, such that the Loaded Cabinet experiences an interruption in power (a “Power Outage”) which lasts longer than [***] but less than [***], Equinix shall credit Customer’s account for the monthly recurring charges for all failed power circuits and the monthly recurring charges attributable to that Loaded Cabinet, for the [***] after which the interruption occurs. Equinix warrants that it will provide all Redundant Power Circuit Pairs such that each circuit in the pair is from different busses, or if unable to do so, it will notify Customer in writing and be held to all provisions in this Exhibit C relating to power as if the circuits had been provided through separate busses.
If a Loaded Cabinet in Customer’s Licensed Space is powered by two (2) circuits from different power busses and both circuits experience a simultaneous interruption in electrical power, such that the Loaded Cabinet experiences a Power Outage which lasts longer than [***] but less than [***], Equinix shall credit Customer’s account for the monthly recurring charges for all failed power circuits and the monthly recurring charges attributable to that Loaded Cabinet, for [***]. For each [***] thereafter in which there is a continuing Power Outage, Equinix shall credit Customer’s account an additional credit equal to the monthly recurring charges for all failed power circuits and monthly recurring charges attributable to that Loaded Cabinet, for [***].
If Customer experiences any Power Outage longer than [***], Customer may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Equinix (including the availability of the Transition Period) in addition to claiming the applicable credit set forth in this SLA, provided that such written notice is provided to Equinix within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the last event giving rise to any termination right under this paragraph.
If Customer experiences [***] Power Outages of any duration in any [***] period, Customer may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to Equinix (including the availability of the Transition Period) in addition to claiming the credits set forth in this SLA, provided that such written notice is provided to Equinix within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the last event giving rise to any termination right under this paragraph.
IBX Facility Access
Equinix will provide continuous access for authorized persons to its IBX Center, subject to its security policies.
Equinix will not permit people other than Authorized Persons or Accompanying persons to enter the Licensed Space unless otherwise specifically permitted in this Agreement.
If any Authorized Person is denied access to the Licensed Space (such denial, an “Access Denial”) for more than [***] after entrance to the lobby of the IBX Center on [***] or more occasions within any [***] period and such Authorized Person has presented valid identification to the IBX Center security officer, Equinix shall credit Customer’s account [***] recurring charges. If any Authorized Person is denied access to the Licensed Space for more than [***] after entrance to the lobby of the IBX Center, and such Authorized Person

has presented valid identification to the IBX Center security officer, Equinix will provide [***] credit as well as an additional [***] credit for each additional [***] thereafter that such person is denied access to the Licensed Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall not be entitled to a credit to the extent access is denied because of the presence of any emergency situations at the relevant IBX Center.
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”)
Equinix will maintain an ambient temperature of sixty-six (66) degrees, +/- ten (10) degrees, at all times in the collocation area of each IBX Center. In addition, Equinix will maintain an ambient humidity of forty-five percent (45%), +/- fifteen percent (15%), at all times in the collocation area of the IBX.
For purposes of this Service Level Agreement, the temperature and humidity within each IBX Center is measured five (5) feet from the floor and no closer than twelve (12) inches from the cool air intake side of a cabinet.
a. Temperature
If the temperature drops below fifty-five (55) degrees or exceeds seventy-eight (78) degrees Fahrenheit for more than [***] (a “Temperature Irregularity”) [***] or more times during a calendar month, or for more than [***] on any single occasion during a calendar month, then upon such occurrence or subsequent occurrence, as the case may be, in such calendar month Equinix shall credit Customer’s account [***]. If Customer experiences [***] Temperature Irregularities of any duration in any [***] period Customer may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to Equinix (including the availability of the Transition Period) in addition to claiming the applicable credits set forth in this SLA, provided that such written notice is provided to Equinix within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the last event giving rise to any termination right under this paragraph.
b. Humidity
If the humidity inside any of Customer’s Licensed Space drops below thirty percent (30%) or exceeds sixty percent (60%) for more than [***] (a “Humidity Irregularity”) [***] or more times during a calendar month, or for more than [***] on any single occasion during a calendar month, than upon such occurrence or subsequent occurrence, as the case may be, in such calendar month Equinix shall credit Customer’s account [***]. If Customer experiences [***] Humidity Irregularities of any duration in any [***] period Customer may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to Equinix (including the availability of the Transition Period) in addition to claiming the applicable credits set forth in this SLA, provided that such written notice is provided to Equinix within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the last event giving rise to any termination right under this paragraph.
Cross-Connects
Equinix will install and warrants that the connectors, copper, and fiber it uses for Cross-Connects will be effective media for interconnection, and that the path created by those connectors, copper, or fiber will be available; provided that Customer does not introduce any active components in the path of the Cross-Connects. If the path, connectors, or other passive physical media fail for Cross-Connects (“Media Failure”), Equinix shall credit Customer’s account the monthly recurring charges attributable to that Cross-Connect for the month after which such Media Failure occurs; provided that Customer shall allow Equinix to test all Cross-Connects for which Customer reports Media Failure. Unavailability of a Cross-Connect during such testing shall not be considered Media Failure hereunder. Customer may receive a maximum of [***] per Cross-Connect that experiences Media Failure in any calendar month. In the event that Equinix performs testing pursuant to this paragraph because Customer has reported Media Failure, and such testing reveals that there is no Media Failure, Customer shall be charged for such testing at the then-current Smart Hands hourly rate, except that Customer shall be entitled to [***] per calendar month of testing that reveals no Media Failure free of charge. If Customer experiences [***] Media Failures of any duration in any [***] period Customer may terminate the Agreement without any penalties upon written notice to Equinix (including the availability of

Exhibit D
Policies
Internet Business Exchange Center Policies
United States
These Internet Business Exchange Center Policies apply to IBX Centers located in the United States only. Please contact your Account Manager if you need a copy of the Polices that apply to IBX Centers outside of the United States.
Equinix is entitled to make changes to the Policies from time to time at its reasonable discretion, but Equinix agrees that any future changes to the Policies will not materially adversely affect each Customer’s use of the Services. Changes to the Policies will be effective for each Customer upon notice to that Customer (except for changes to the Shipping Policies which will be effective immediately upon change of such policies). All capitalized terms not defined elsewhere in the Policies are defined in the Definitions section at the end of the Policies.
For all purposes under the Policies, each Customer has full responsibility and liability for all acts or omissions of Customer’s Authorized Persons, Accompanying Persons, and Associated Entities, and all such acts or omissions will be attributed to Customer for all purposes, including for the purposes of determining whether Customer has breached (i.e. failed to abide by) the Policies. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer is responsible and must ensure that Customer’s Authorized Persons, Accompanying Persons and Associated Entities do not take any actions that Customer is prohibited from taking under the Policies.
The Policies are not intended to impose upon any Equinix Entity any liability (or obligations) to a Customer for which an Equinix Entity is excluded from being liable (or responsible) for under the Master Service Agreement for such Customer. The Policies also are not intended to increase the liability (e.g., the limits of liability) of any Equinix Entity with regard to any matter for which such liability is limited under the Master Service Agreement (e.g., such as where the liability is limited in the limitation of liability provisions of the Master Service Agreement).
A. | SERVICES |
The Services Equinix offers under Master Service Agreements with Customers consist of (1) Licensing of Space and Set-Up; (2) Core Services; and (3) Additional Services. The first two classifications of Services are not optional and will be provided to all Customers.
1. Licensing of Space and Set-Up
a. Licensing of Space
Depending on availability, Equinix offers its Customers the right to license space at the IBX Centers sufficient to hold one or more racks or cabinets (or partial racks or cabinets to the extent offered by Equinix). If a Customer places an order for five or more full racks or full cabinets at an IBX Center, depending on space availability, these racks or cabinets may be located in a private cage (i.e., a cage that is not used by other Customers). Otherwise, Customer’s racks or cabinets may be in a cage or area shared with other Customers. In private cages, a Customer may provide Equinix-approved racks or cabinets for each of the Customer’s Licensed Space or request that Equinix provide the racks and/or cabinets. In shared cages, Customers must use Equinix-provided cabinets and/or racks.
b. Set-Up
Prior to each Customer’s use of its Licensed Space, Equinix will install Equinix-provided POD Equipment (of a type reasonably determined by Equinix) in order to demarcate Customer’s Equipment, unless otherwise agreed to by Equinix.
2. Core Services
The Core Services consist of the following, as further described below: (1) Access to the Customer Care Website; (2) Core Security; (3) Core Back-up Power; (4) Core Fire Detection and Suppression; (5) Core HVAC; (6) Core Temperature Control and (7) Core Humidity Control.
a. Access to the Customer Care Website
Equinix grants each Customer access to the Customer Care Website under the terms and conditions set forth in the Customer Care Website Usage Policies, if any, and the Master Service Agreement with such Customer. Each Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its account and password and for restricting and granting access thereto, and is responsible and liable for all activities that occur under its account, regardless of whether such
D-1
activities are conducted by Customer, a Sublicensee or any other third party, and regardless of whether such Orders are authorized by Customer. Equinix may modify the functionality and content of the Customer Care Website at any time and in any manner, and if Equinix develops Customer Care Website Usage Policies, Customer must comply with the Customer Care Website Usage Policies then in effect.
b. Core Security
Equinix offers the following security features at IBX Centers:
• | security personnel onsite 24 x 7 x 365; |
• | visitor screening upon entry for verification of identity; |
• | keyless security with biometric hand geometry readers with required additional pass code for access to: |
• | enter the security tunnel from the welcome area; |
• | leave the security tunnel to enter the main center; |
• | enter the colocation area; |
• | enter a Customer cage; and |
• | CCTV digital camera coverage of IBX Center, integrated with access control and alarm system. |
In addition, Equinix may take other reasonable security measures that it chooses to employ.
c. Core Back-Up Power
Each IBX Center will have back-up power sources that will ordinarily provide power for a period of at least 48 hours if the primary source of power is unavailable.
d. Core Fire Detection and Suppression
Each IBX Center will have an early warning fire detection system and fire suppression system.
e. Core HVAC
Each IBX Center will have redundant (n +1) HVAC.
f. Core Temperature Control
Each IBX Center will ordinarily maintain a temperature of 64 - 76 degrees Fahrenheit.
g. Core Humidity Control
Each IBX Center will ordinarily maintain a relative humidity of 20% - 70%
3. Additional Services
Additional Services consist of any services offered by Equinix at the IBX Centers other than the licensing of Licensed Space, Set-Up, and the Core Services. The Additional Services that Equinix offers include, but are not limited to, the following Additional Services, which are further described below: (1) Cross-Connects; (2) Power; (3) Smart Hands; and (4) Installation of a Customer’s Equipment. Where products or materials are provided as part of the Additional Services for a Customer, the Customer will be responsible for paying for all of the charges for the products or materials as well as the other charges associated with the Additional Services.
a. Cross-Connects
Equinix will install Cross-Connects, as ordered by a Customer, so long as the other Customer to which the Cross-Connect runs approves such Cross-Connect. In the event that any of a Customer’s Cross-Connects are disconnected due to such Customer’s request or due to termination or partial termination of an Order, Equinix may inform the other Customer of the disconnection. No more than ninety (90) days preceding expiration or termination of a Customer’s Master Service Agreement or a Customer’s last Order in an IBX Center, Equinix may notify other Customers to which such Customer is interconnected that, unless such Customer and Equinix agree to a further extension of the term of, or to a new, Master Service Agreement or Order, such Customer will no longer be present in the IBX Center(s) in question as of the date of termination or expiration of the Customer’s Master Service Agreement or the applicable Order.
b. Power
i. A Customer may order power to the extent offered and approved by Equinix.
ii. Redundant Power Circuit Policy: A power circuit is a redundant circuit only if at all times it meets both of the following conditions: (a) Condition 1: It is part of a Redundant Power Circuit Pair, and (b) Condition 2: The aggregate draw of such Redundant Power Circuit Pair does not exceed the rated capacity pursuant to the National Electrical Code of one (1) of the power circuits in the Redundant Circuit Pair. Therefore, if at any time a power circuit fails to meet Condition 1 (regardless of whether it satisfies Condition 2), it is not a redundant circuit. Similarly, if at any time a power circuit fails to meet Condition 2 (regardless of whether it satisfies Condition 1), it is not a redundant circuit. Accordingly, if a power circuit is originally a redundant circuit but subsequently fails to meet
D-2
Condition 1 (even if it is then meeting Condition 2), or subsequently fails to meet Condition 2 (even if it is then meeting Condition 1), such power circuit shall thereafter be deemed a primary power circuit.
c. Smart Hands
Smart Hands is designed to provide Customers with onsite technical assistance and may include, for example, Equinix complying with Customer’s simple instructions relating to remote management, installation or troubleshooting of its equipment within an IBX Center or any other services Equinix deems to be Smart Hands. With respect to the Smart Hands service offered by Equinix, Equinix’s only obligation is to carry out the express instructions of Customer; and Equinix reserves the right to reject a Customer’s request if such rejection is reasonable or if such service is not offered as part of Smart Hands. In addition, Equinix reserves the right to require that a Customer’s instructions be given in additional detail and in writing (which may be by electronic mail). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Equinix has the right to perform Smart Hands services where the Customer fails to timely act or Equinix has the right to act under the Policies at Customer’s expense as part of the Smart Hands service.
d. Installation of Customer Equipment
A Customer may request that Equinix install Customer’s Equipment. Equinix, at its discretion, may agree to perform such installation, but Customer must enter into a separate agreement with Equinix to perform such work.
4. Use of Unordered Services
In the event that a Customer uses an Unordered Service, Equinix shall so notify the Customer (which notification may be delivered only by e-mail or regular US Mail, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Master Service Agreement) and provide Customer with a change order which lists the Unordered Service. If the Customer does not execute such change order and return it to Equinix within ten (10) days of the date of such notification, Equinix may charge such Customer for such Unordered Service at its then current list price for such Unordered Service commencing on the date Customer began using the Unordered Services.
B. | NOTIFICATIONS |
1. Equinix will provide contact information for each Customer to use at any time in the event of an emergency or otherwise as needed by Customer. The Equinix Response Center may be reached at 000-000-0000.
2. Each Customer will designate one or more persons whom Equinix may contact at any time in the event of an emergency or otherwise as needed by Equinix. Each Customer will provide to Equinix a means of contacting such persons at any and all times. Equinix prefers, but does not require, that such contact method be the telephone number of a twenty-four (24) hour operations center staffed by persons familiar with the Customer’s use of its Licensed Space and Equipment located within the Customer’s Licensed Space.
C. | NETWORK SYSTEM NUMBERS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS |
1. Equinix strongly encourages each Customer to have its own autonomous system number as designated by the American Registry of Internet Numbers or its successor.
2. Each Customer will be responsible for obtaining telecommunications services as needed from the carrier of its choice.

2. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Customer’s Master Service Agreement (including the Policies), a Customer will have access to its Licensed Space twenty-four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year. In the event of an emergency situation at any IBX Center or IBX Center Property (e.g., fire, building evacuation, medical emergency, weather-related emergency, terrorist attack, etc.), or drill, each Customer present at the IBX Center will be required to follow instructions given by the on-site Equinix Site Manager, or the designee.
3. Each Customer will provide Equinix with a list for each IBX Center (which list will be provided in writing or entered through the Customer Care Website) of Authorized Persons who may enter Customer’s Licensed Space in such IBX Center. Except where specifically designated otherwise by a Customer, each Authorized Person for an IBX Center will have the right to authorize entry by any other person who is accompanied by such Authorized Person at the IBX Center. Each Customer will provide Equinix with written notification of any changes to Customer’s list of Authorized Persons for any IBX Center at least one (1) full business day in advance of the effectiveness of such change. Equinix will refuse entry at an IBX Center to any person who is not named on a Customer’s list of Authorized Persons for such IBX Center, unless such person is an Accompanying Person. Equinix reserves the right to refuse or withdraw approval of a person on any Customer’s list for any IBX Center if such refusal or withdrawal is reasonable (such as where the person violates, or has previously violated, any of the Policies). Equinix also reserves the right to deny access to an Accompanying Person at an IBX Center if the denial is reasonable (such as where the Accompanying Person violates, or has previously violated, any of the Policies).
4. Each Customer is strongly encouraged (but not required, except as herein set forth) to give twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Equinix (through the contact provided by Equinix) prior to visiting an IBX Center. Except in an emergency (as reasonably determined by Equinix), any Customer visiting a cage area shared with other Customers will give at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Equinix.
5. Non-scheduled visits by a Customer may lead to a delay in access or may be denied. For all non-scheduled visits by a Customer, Equinix at its discretion may require Customer’s administrative contact to call the Equinix Response Center to authorize the person’s entry into the IBX Center and Customer’s Licensed Space.
6. For any site tours of an IBX Center, Customer must, no later than 5:00 p.m. the day before the requested tour, arrange such site tour with Equinix and provide Equinix with the following data: Customer’s organization name; purpose of tour; date/time of tour; names of visitors; authorization to access a specific Licensed Space (for existing Customers only); and any special instructions associated with a specific tour. Tour size is limited to a maximum of five (5) guests and one authorized tour guide on all tours unless Equinix agrees to accommodate more persons. If so, Equinix will arrange for one authorized tour guide or Equinix security officer for every five (5) guests.
7. Access by a Customer to any shared work area (or any other common area where Equinix permits access by Customers) may be restricted by Equinix at any time, including when another Customer is in such area.
8. Equinix may, at its discretion, require any or all Authorized Persons of any Customer to have a full-face photograph taken at the IBX Centers for purposes of secure identification.
9. Every person who accesses an IBX Center must use the then-in-use secure access means to enter and exit the IBX Center.
10. Upon any Customer’s entry into an IBX Center, Equinix may (at its discretion) accompany Customer inside the IBX Center, and Equinix may (at its discretion) remain with Customer for the entire time that Customer is in the IBX Center. However, Customer will have privacy when Customer is in its Licensed Space, and Equinix will maintain sufficient distance from Customer at such times that Equinix will not have access to Customer’s confidential information or activities.
11. Repeat visitors of a Customer requiring freedom of movement within certain areas of an IBX Center may be entered into the Security Access System (“SAS”) if Customer’s administrative contact requests this for a specific person in conjunction with a work visit. The person being registered in SAS is required to produce a government-issued photo ID for identity verification (driver’s license or passport), and complete the on-site enrollment process with the assistance of Equinix security officers. After the visitor places his/her hand on the reader for scanning of biometric identification information into the SAS, the computer will identify/request which doors the person may access and automatically update the readers in real-time.

12. Equinix may access any Customer’s Licensed Space (i) during an emergency; (ii) to perform Smart Hands or other services for Customer; (iii) as needed to perform those services necessary for the use of the IBX Center by some or all Customers; or (iv) as otherwise permitted under such Customer’s Master Service Agreement.
13. If the landlord or owner of an IBX Center or an IBX Property wishes to access, or permit others to access, a Customer’s Licensed Space, Equinix will accompany such persons during such visit, and Customer shall, if practicable, receive advance notice from Equinix and have an opportunity to be present.
14. Equinix reserves the right to deny IBX Center access to Authorized Persons and Accompanying Persons who do not have a business purpose at an IBX Center where access is requested.

4. Each Customer will ensure that all shipments (including the boxes) are clearly labeled with the company name and/or identifier of Customer. Unidentified packages will not be accepted.

For incoming shipments only, a Customer may also (under the same timeframes set forth above) schedule the shipments by phone through the Equinix Response Center. Equinix reserves the right to reject any shipments to an IBX Center that are not delivered at the time scheduled.
6. Emergency shipments to an IBX Center must be scheduled directly by calling the Equinix Response Center. If such advance notification is provided to Equinix, Equinix will make reasonable efforts to accommodate after-hours emergency deliveries.
7. Each Customer will ensure that all shipments for Customer to or from IBX Centers where Equinix is the sole tenant in the building will be made during the business day (Monday - Friday), from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. local time. Shipment times may vary for multi-tenant buildings in which IBX Centers are located. The Equinix Response Center will provide each Customer, upon request, with the specific shipping times for such multi-tenant buildings, and each Customer will ensure that all shipments to such buildings comply with the applicable shipping rules.
8. Equinix reserves the right to visually and/or physically inspect any and all shipments to or from the IBX Centers when such shipments arrive at the shipping/receiving area. Shipments containing liquids, combustibles and any Hazardous Materials are prohibited, and, to the extent Equinix is so aware of the contents of such shipments, will not be accepted at any time.
9. At the time of Equinix’s inspection of any shipments to or from the IBX Centers, Equinix may record serial numbers for Equipment of a Customer with estimated value of more than $1,000, as estimated by Customer. Accordingly, when packing Equipment for shipping, each Customer should be aware that Equinix personnel will need access to the serial numbers on the Equipment being shipped, and should seal boxes after serial numbers are recorded.
10. Customers are requested to contact the Equinix Response Center to extend or cancel the shipment receipt date if the shipment does not arrive at the scheduled time.
D-7
11. Customers are responsible for moving their shipments from the shipping/receiving area (or secure storage area where they are placed by Equinix at Customer’s expense under the Smart Hands service if the shipment is not removed by Customer immediately upon its arrival) to their Licensed Space and from their Licensed Space to the shipping/receiving area. If a Customer wishes for Equinix to perform such functions as well as packing or unpacking the shipments and disposing of packing materials, the Customer may do so by using the Smart Hands service.
12. Except where Equinix removes the packing materials as a part of a Customer’s Smart Hands order, each Customer is required to take all packing materials to the shipping/receiving area or other designated area for disposal immediately after completing installation. Cardboard and packing materials are not to be stored in cages.
13. Customers will move the shipments from the shipping/receiving area (or secure storage area where they are placed by Equinix) to Customer’s Licensed Space within three (3) business days after notification of arrival (the Equinix Response Center ordinarily will contact a Customer by email and/or phone within twelve (12) hours after arrival, and either e-mail or phone communication by Equinix to the Customer will constitute notification for all purposes under this Section G of the Policies, notwithstanding anything in the Customer’s Master Service Agreement to the contrary). Moving equipment will be available to assist Customer, if necessary (dolly’s, hand trucks, etc.), if Customer schedules the use of such moving equipment with Equinix at the shipping/receiving area.
14. If a Customer has not retrieved its shipment from a secured area forty-eight (48) hours after the shipment has arrived, the Equinix Response Center will notify Customer that if the shipment is not retrieved before the three business days has elapsed (starting with the notification of arrival), the shipment may be returned to the “shipped from” address at Customer’s expense under the Smart Hands service.
15. Unless prior arrangements are made with Equinix by a Customer during the original request (or Smart Hands is purchased for Equinix to move the shipment to Customer’s Licensed Space), Equinix reserves the right to ship the shipment back to the “shipped from” address, at Customer’s expense, three (3) business days after notification of arrival.
16. Equinix is not responsible or liable for any missing or damage to any Customer’s Equipment which may occur during the packaging and/or shipment of such equipment.

SALES ORDER TOTAL |
$ | [***] | $ | [***] | ||||||||||
This sales order (the “Sales Order”) is between Equinix Operating Co. Inc. (“Equinix”) and the customer identified above (“Customer”), who wishes to order the products and/or services set forth above (each a “Service”).
Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, each Service shall be delivered at the Internet Business Exchange Center identified above (“IBX Center”). Notwithstanding anything in this Sales Order to the contrary, this Sales Order is governed by, and incorporated by reference in, the Master Service Agreement (or the document with a similar function if no document entitled Master Service Agreement has been signed by the parties) having an effective date of 17 May, 2005 between Customer and Equinix Inc., and/or one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Agreement”). All exhibits, addenda and policy documents referenced in this Sales Order are incorporated by reference in this Sales Order, and therefore in the Agreement. The meanings of all capitalized terms defined in this Sales Order shall apply whenever such terms are used in this Sales Order, unless otherwise stated in this Sales Order. For purposes of this Sales Order the terms “monthly recurring charges” and “MRC” may be used interchangeably, and the term “non-recurring charges” and “NRC” may be used interchangeably.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the term of this Sales Order shall begin on the date this Sales Order is signed by both parties (the “Sales Order Effective Date”), and this Sales Order shall remain in effect until the last Service Term (as defined below) in effect expires or is terminated pursuant to the Agreement, including this Sales Order. Each Service in this Sales Order shall have a “Service Term”, which for each Service shall begin on the Billing Commencement Date (defined below) and end upon completion of the period of time designated above as the Service Term. In addition, for each Service, the initial Service Term for such Service shall automatically renew for additional terms of three (3) months each, unless either party notifies the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current Service Term for such Service that it has elected to terminate the Service Term for such Service, in which event the Service Term for such Service will terminate at the end of such then-current Service Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sales Order, (a) Equinix’s provision of any Service, and Customer’s use of such Service, are at all times governed by the Agreement, even if Customer begins using such Service prior to the beginning of its Service Term and (b) under no circumstances will a Service Term for any Service in this Sales Order survive the termination of this Sales Order.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (a) if the Agreement expires prior to the expiration of this Sales Order’s then-current term, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including limitation of liability and indemnification) will continue to apply to this Sales Order and all Services, until this Sales Order expires or is terminated, and (b) if the Agreement is terminated by either party prior to its full term, then this Sales Order, if still in effect, shall terminate upon the termination of the Agreement. If the Equinix entity providing the products and/or services set forth above (the “Equinix Provider”) is not currently a party to the Agreement, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that the execution of the Sales Order shall automatically (i.e., without further action by either party) result in the Equinix Provider becoming, as of the Sales Order Effective Date, a party to the Agreement (such that all references to Equinix under the Agreement, including, without limitation, references to limitation of liability and indemnification, shall be deemed to include the Equinix Provider, as well as any Equinix entities that were already parties to the Agreement). Any change by Equinix to the prices set forth above shall be made in accordance with the Agreement. Prices shown above do not include any applicable taxes, surcharges and shipping charges which are the responsibility of the Customer.
This Sales Order shall be of no force or effect unless (a) it is executed by both parties and (b) Customer and Equinix have entered into a currently effective Agreement under which this Sales Order is executed.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
*** Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Customer Name: |
Account Manager: | Sales Order Number: | ||
Xxxxxxxxxx.xxx | Xxx Xxxxxxxxx | A0Q0A000AC |
Customer agrees to pay the Waiver of Subrogation Fee set forth above in exchange for Equinix’s agreement to obtain the waivers of subrogation that Equinix is required to obtain pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Agreement.
Billing:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer’s obligation to pay the total monthly recurring charges and total non-recurring charges set forth in Section A shall begin twenty-one (21) days after the Sales Order Effective Date (the “Billing Commencement Date”). If Equinix fails to deliver a Service by the applicable Billing Commencement Date, and such failure is not caused by Customer or Customer’s contractors or agents, Customer shall not be obligated to pay for such Service until Equinix delivers such Service.
If Equinix is unable to deliver any Service on or before the Billing Commencement Date because Customer has failed to provide Equinix with the information necessary to deliver such Service (e.g., configuration information). Customer shall be billed for such Service beginning on the Billing Commencement Date even if such Service has not been delivered.
Customer may order services in addition to the cabinets set forth on this Sales Order for the Cage (defined below) (such additional services (including services other than cabinets set forth in this Sales Order), “Additional Services”). Services delivered by Equinix in space other than the Cage are not Additional Services.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sales Order:
1. Prior to February 1, 2006, Customer shall pay the monthly recurring charges agreed to by Equinix and Customer for Additional Services in the applicable orders for such Additional Services.
2. Beginning February 1, 2006, Customer shall pay monthly recurring charges for Additional Services each month equal to the greater of i) the sum of the monthly recurring charges agreed to by Equinix and Customer for Additional Services in the applicable orders or ii) $[***].
3. Beginning August 1, 2006, Customer shall pay monthly recurring charges for Additional Services each month equal to the greater of i) the sum of the monthly recurring charges agreed to by Equinix and Customer for Additional Services in the applicable orders or ii) $[***].
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sales Order. Customer will pay the nonrecurring charges for Additional Services as set for in the applicable orders for such services and in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall pay monthly recurring charges and nonrecurring charges for cabinets as set forth in the first two paragraphs of this “Billing” section in addition to the charges for Additional Services.
Equinix will reserve out of the power delivery capacity available to the Cage (defined below) [***] of electrical power to be made available to Customer in increments requested by Customer through circuit orders (including the circuits ordered on this Sales Order). Such electrical power will be UPS critical power in an N+1 configuration. Equinix will further provide cooling capacity in the Cage to meet all requirements set forth in the Agreement (including Exhibit C of the Agreement and the Policies as defined in the Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, a Temperature Irregularity or a Humidity Irregularity (as defined in Exhibit C of the Agreement) does not constitute Equinix’s failure to provide cooling capacity as contemplated in the prior sentence (the “Cooling Capacity”). Equinix’s failure to provide Cooling Capacity means Equinix’s failure to provide the infrastructure reasonably necessary to provide the Cooling Capacity.
Power Cap:
Customer may not draw more than an aggregate of [***] (the “Power Cap”) in the cage depicted in Attachment 1 of this Sales Order (the “Cage”). In the event that Equinix measures Customer’s draw in the Cage and such draw exceeds the Power Cap. Equinix may require Customer to reduce the power draw in the Cages to the Power Cap within twenty-four (24) hours of such measurement. In the event that Customer’s power draw in the Cage exceeds the Power Cap three (3) times in a calendar month. Equinix may disconnect power circuits until the aggregate rated capacity of all circuits in the Cage equals the Power Cap. Customer shall pay Equinix’s Smart Hands rate for Equinix’s measurement of draw in the Cage. In the event that Equinix fails to make [***] of power available to Customer in the Cage. Equinix will be responsible for Customer’s actual and direct out of pocket costs and damages resulting from such failure, not to exceed [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, a Power Outage, as defined in Exhibit C of the Agreement, does not constitute Equinix’s failure to make power available as contemplated in the prior sentence. Equinix’s failure to make the power available means Equinix’s refusal to install or energize such power or to fail to maintain the infrastructure required to deliver such power.

SALES ORDER TOTAL |
$ | [***] | $ | [***] | ||||||||||
This sales order (the “Sales Order”) is between Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix”) and the customer identified above (“Customer”), who
wishes to order the products and/or services set forth above (each a “Service”).
Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in willing, each Service shall be delivered at the Internet Business Exchange Center identified above (“IBX Center”). Notwithstanding anything in this Sales Order to the contrary, this Sales Order is governed by, and incorporated by reference in, the Master Service Agreement (or the document with a similar function if no document entitled Master Service Agreement has been signed by the parties) having an effective date of 17 May, 2005 between Customer and Equinix Inc., and/or one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Agreement”). All exhibits, addenda and policy documents referenced in this Sales Order are incorporated by reference in this Sales Order, and therefore in the Agreement. The meanings of all capitalized terms defined in this Sales Order shall apply whenever such terms are used in this Sales Order, unless otherwise stated in this Sales Order. For purposes of this Sales Order the terms “monthly recurring charges” and “MRC” may be used interchangeably, and the term “non-recurring charges” and “NRC” may be used interchangeably.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the term of this Sales Order shall begin on the date this Sales Order is signed by both parties (the “Sales Order Effective Date”), and this Sates Order shall remain in effect until the last Service Term (as defined below) in effect expires or is terminated pursuant to the Agreement, including this Sales Order. Each Service in this Sales Order shall have a “Service Term”, which for each Service shall begin on the Billing Commencement Date (defined below) and end upon completion of the period of time designated above as the Service Term. In addition, for each Service, the initial Service Term for such Service shall automatically renew for additional terms of three (3) months each, unless either party notifies the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current Service Term for such Service that it has elected to terminate the Service Term for such Service, in which event the Service Term for such Service will terminate at the end of such then-current Service Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sales Order, (a) Equinix’s provision of any Service, and Customer’s use of such Service, are at all times governed by the Agreement, even if Customer begins using such Service prior to the beginning of its Service Term and (b) under no circumstances will a Service Term for any Service in this Sales Order survive the termination of this Sales Order.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (a) if the Agreement expires prior to the expiration of this Sales Order’s then-current term, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including limitation of liability and indemnification) will continue to apply to this Sales Order and all Services, until this Sales Order expires or is terminated, and (b) if the Agreement is terminated by either party prior to its full term, then this Sales Order, if still in effect, shall terminate upon the termination of the Agreement. If the Equinix entity providing the products and/or services set forth above (the “Equinix Provider”) is not currently a party to the Agreement, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that the execution of the Sales Order shall automatically (i.e., without further action by either party) result in the Equinix Provider becoming, as of the Sales Order Effective Date, a party to the Agreement (such that all references to Equinix under the Agreement, including, without limitation, references to limitation of liability and indemnification, shall be deemed to include the Equinix Provider, as well as any Equinix entities that were already parties to the Agreement). Any change by Equinix to the prices set forth above shall be made in accordance with the Agreement. Prices shown above do not include any applicable taxes, surcharges and shipping charges which are the responsibility of the Customer.
This Sales Order shall be of no force or effect unless (a) it is executed by both parties and (b) Customer and Equinix have entered into a currently effective Agreement under which this Sales Order is executed. Customer agrees to provide Equinix access to its cage, cabinets, racks and/or equipment as necessary for the installation of the Services as set forth in this Sales Order in accordance with this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
*** Confidential treatment has been requested for portions of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [***]. A complete version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Customer Name: Xxxxxxxxxx.xxx |
Account Manager: Xxx Xxxxxxxxx |
Sales Order Number: A0B0A0001T |
For purposes of this Sales Order, a 19” Open Cabinet Equivalent means a footprint equal to [***] square feet.
Customer agrees to pay the Waiver of Subrogation Fee set forth above in exchange for Equinix’s agreement to obtain the waivers of subrogation that Equinix is required to obtain pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Agreement.
Billing:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer’s obligation to pay the total monthly recurring charges and total non-recurring charges set forth in Section A shall begin twenty-one (21) days after the Sales Order Effective Date (the “Billing Commencement Date”). If Equinix fails to deliver a Service by the applicable Billing Commencement Date, and such failure is not caused by Customer or Customer’s contractors or agents, Customer shall not be obligated to pay for such Service until Equinix delivers such Service.
If Equinix is unable to deliver any Service on or before the Billing Commencement Date because Customer has failed to provide Equinix with the information necessary to deliver such Service (e.g., configuration information), Customer shall be billed for such Service beginning on the Billing Commencement Date even if such Service has not been delivered.
Equinix will reserve out of the power delivery capacity available to the Cage (defined below), 900 kW of electrical power to be made available to Customer in increments requested by Customer through circuit orders (including the circuits ordered on this Sales Order). Such electrical power will be UPS critical power in an N+1 configuration. Equinix will further provide cooling capacity in the Cage to meet all requirements set forth in the Agreement (including Exhibit C of the Agreement and the Policies as defined in the Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, a Temperature Irregularity or a Humidity Irregularity (as defined in Exhibit C of the Agreement) does not constitute Equinix’s failure to provide cooling capacity as contemplated in the prior sentence (the “Cooling Capacity”). Equinix’s failure to provide Cooling Capacity means Equinix’s failure to provide the Infrastructure reasonably necessary to provide the Cooling Capacity.
Power Cap:
Customer may not draw more than an aggregate of [***] (the “Power Cap”) in the cage depicted in Attachment 1 of this Sales Order (the “Cage”). In the event that Equinix measures Customer’s draw in the Cage and such draw exceeds the Power Cap, Equinix may require Customer to reduce the power draw in the Cages to the Power Cap within twenty-four (24) hours of such measurement. In the event that Customer’s power draw in the Cage exceeds the Power Cap three (3) times in a calendar month, Equinix may disconnect power circuits until the aggregate rated capacity of all circuits in the Cage equals the Power Cap. Customer shall pay Equinix’s Smart Hands rate for Equinix’s measurement of draw in the Cage. In the event that Equinix fails to make [***] of power available to Customer in the Cage. Equinix will be responsible for Customer’s actual and direct out of pocket costs and damages resulting from such failure, not to exceed [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, a Power Outage, as defined in Exhibit C of the Agreement, does not constitute Equinix’s failure to make power available as contemplated in the prior sentence. Equinix’s failure to make the power available means Equinix’s refusal to install or energize such power or to fail to maintain the infrastructure required to deliver such power.
