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

On July 3, 2008, Equinix (Germany) GmbH, with Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix”) as its common parent, borrowed an additional 500,000 Euros (or approximately $785,000 as translated using effective exchange rates as of July 3, 2008) under its £82,000,000 Senior Facilities Agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) dated June 29, 2007 with CIT Bank Limited, as arranger, CIT Capital Finance (UK) Limited, as administrative agent and security trustee and the Lenders (as defined therein). The Facilities Agreement is available to fund Equinix’s current and future operations in Europe. This brings the total borrowings under the Facilities Agreement to approximately 65,978,000 British pounds (or approximately $130,799,000 as translated using effective exchange rates as of July 3, 2008) at a blended interest rate of approximately 7.51%.

The Facilities Agreement became an indirect obligation of Equinix as a result of its acquisition of IXEurope plc which closed on September 14, 2007.
