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.
