Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On September 26, 2006 and September 29, 2006, Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix”) elected to draw down $12,000,000 and $28,000,000, respectively, from its $75,000,000 revolving credit facility agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation (the “Credit Facility”). $20,000,000 was borrowed at the Prime Rate and bears interest at 8.75% per annum and the remaining $20,000,000 was borrowed at a spread over the one-month LIBOR rate and bears interest at 7.824% per annum (collectively, the “Borrowings”). The Borrowings will be used to fund capital expenditures and construction costs relating to Equinix’s data center expansions in the Chicago and Washington, D.C. markets pending the completion of the permanent financing arrangements previously announced by Equinix. Inclusive of these Borrowings and previously issued letters of credit, approximately $28,300,000 remains available for borrowings under the Credit Facility.
