STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING TEMPORARY STAY OF LITIGATION, EXTENSION OF TIME FOR PLAINTIFF TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT AND CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

SAMUEL CONTI, District Judge.

This stipulation is entered into by and among plaintiff Joseph Stopa ("Plaintiff") and defendants Steven Clontz, Gary Hromadko, Scott Kriens, William Luby, Irving Lyons, III, Christopher Paisley, Stephen Smith, Peter Van Camp and nominal defendant Equinix, Inc. (collectively, "Defendants"), by and through their respective attorneys of record;

WHEREAS, presently pending before this Court is Plaintiff's putative shareholder derivative action against certain officers and directors of Equinix, Inc. ("Equinix" or the "Company") and against nominal defendant Equinix;

WHEREAS, on May 20, 2011, Plaintiff filed a Verified Shareholder Derivative Complaint ("Current Complaint");

WHEREAS, on July 14, 2011, this Court issued an order temporarily staying the above-captioned action and setting forth the following timing regarding the filing of an amended complaint and the briefing of responses thereto (the "Briefing Schedule"):

WHEREAS, a related putative shareholder class action complaint, entitled Cement Masons & Plasterers Joint Pension Trust v. Equinix, Inc., et al., Case No. 11-CV-01016-SC (N.D. Cal.), is currently pending against Equinix and certain officers and directors under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act ("PSLRA");

WHEREAS, plaintiff in the Cement Masons case filed an Amended Complaint for Violation of the Federal Securities Laws ("Amended Class Action Complaint") on September 22, 2011;

WHEREAS, a hearing on defendants' motion to dismiss the Cement Masons' Amended Class Action Complaint is currently scheduled to be heard before this Court on February 24, 2011;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff in the above-captioned action has requested and Defendants have agreed, subject to approval of the Court, that Plaintiff have an additional thirty (30) days to file an Amended Complaint or designate the Current Complaint as the Operative Complaint;

WHEREAS, in an effort to assure consistent rulings and decisions, promote coordination between the related federal shareholder class action and this putative shareholder derivative action, avoid needless motion practice, avoid unnecessary duplication of effort, and conserve the Court's and parties' resources, the parties have agreed to temporarily stay the above-captioned action until this Court rules on defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint in Cement Masons;

WHEREAS, after this Court rules on defendants' motion to dismiss the Cement Masons' Amended Class Action Complaint, the parties to the above-captioned action will file a stipulation setting forth a briefing schedule on Plaintiff's Amended or Operative Complaint;

WHEREAS, a case management conference is currently set for November 18, 2011;

WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing, the parties believe that a case management conference at this point would serve no purpose and would result in the needless expenditure of private and judicial resources, and that the initial case management conference in this action should be continued and have conferred with the Court and have been informed that March 9, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. is a convenient date for the case management conference;

IT IS ACCORDINGLY STIPULATED, by and between the undersigned counsel for the Parties, that:

1. Plaintiff shall have through and including November 23, 2011 to file an Amended Complaint or designate the Current Complaint as the Operative Complaint.

2. The parties agree to temporarily stay the above-captioned action until this Court rules on defendants' motion to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint in Cement Masons. The hearing on the motion to dismiss in Cement Masons is currently scheduled for February 24, 2011.

3. Defendants shall have no obligation to respond to the Current Complaint.

4. Defendants shall have no obligation to respond to the Amended or Operative Complaint until after this Court rules on defendants' motion to dismiss the Cement Masons' Amended Class Action Complaint and the parties in the above-captioned action agree to a briefing schedule on Plaintiff's Amended or Operative Complaint.

5. The case management conference presently scheduled for November 18, 2011 is continued to March 9, 2012, at 10:00 a.m.

Pursuant to General Order No. 45 Section X(B), all of the signatories concur in the filing of this stipulation.
