On February 28, 2006, Equinix Operating Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Equinix”), entered into a First Amendment to Sublease (“Sublease Amendment”) with Electronics for Imaging, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Landlord”). The Sublease Amendment amends the Sublease Agreement (“Sublease”), dated February 12, 2003, pursuant to which Landlord leased certain premises on the 5th floor located at 301 Velocity Way, Foster City, CA, 94404 to Equinix for use as its corporate headquarters. The Sublease Amendment (1) adds 19,713 of rentable square feet on the 4th floor for additional space for Equinix’s corporate headquarters and (2) extends the term of the Sublease through March 31, 2011, upon the same basic terms and conditions as the Sublease. There is no material relationship between Equinix and Landlord.
