PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of September 30, 2006 by and among Globix Hosting, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), Globix Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), Quality Technology Services Holding, L.L.C. a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”) and Quality Investment Properties Tech Centre Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”).

WHEREAS, the Seller owns 1,000 units of membership interest representing one hundred percent (100%) of the authorized, issued and outstanding ownership interests in the Company (the “Interests”); and

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from the Seller, and the Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, all of the Interests.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Purchase and Sale of the Interests.

SECTION 1.01. Purchase and Sale of the Interests. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from the Seller, the Interests for (i) an aggregate purchase price in cash of $20 million, payable as set forth below in Section 1.03 (the “Purchase Price”) and subject to adjustment at or prior to the Closing as provided in Sections 1.03 and 1.04(a), and (ii) $1,658,644.00, which amount shall represent a prepayment by Purchaser for Operating Expenses related to the Centre Street Property (the “Operating Expense Prepayment”), payable as set forth below in Section 1.03. The purchase and sale of the Interests and the execution and delivery of the Ancillary Agreements is referred to in this Agreement as the “Transaction.” Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Annex I.

SECTION 1.02. Closing Date. The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of King & Spalding LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ at 10:00 a.m. on the second Business Day following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted, the waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(a), or, if on such day any other condition set forth in Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 has not been satisfied (or, to the extent permitted, waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof), as soon as practicable after all the conditions set forth in Article VI have been, or are capable of being, satisfied (or, to the extent permitted, waived by the parties entitled to the benefits thereof), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed between the Seller and Purchaser, provided that Closing will not occur prior to October 31, 2006. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

SECTION 1.03. Transactions to Be Effected at the Closing At the Closing:

(a) The Seller shall deliver to Purchaser certificates representing the Interests and accompanying transfer documents, evidencing the conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Interests to Purchaser.

(b) Purchaser shall deliver to a financial institution selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (the “Escrow Agent”) in immediately available U.S. funds an amount equal to (i) $2 million (the “General Escrow”) and (ii) the Operating Expense Prepayment (the “Operating Expense Escrow” and , together with the General Escrow, the “Escrowed Funds”) to be held and invested pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement dated the Closing Date (the “Escrow Agreement”) among Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A.

(c) Purchaser shall deliver in exchange therefor to the Seller (i) payment, by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the Seller at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, in immediately available U.S. funds of (x) an amount equal to sum of (A) the Purchase Price less the amount of the General Escrow and (B) the amount of the positive or negative difference between the amount of Working Capital of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date as shown on the Seller's Estimated Working Capital Statement (as defined below) and the Target Working Capital Amount (as defined below), such sum being hereinafter called the “Closing Date Amount”) and (y) the Operating Expense Prepayment and (ii) such other documents as the Seller or its counsel may reasonably request to demonstrate satisfaction of the conditions and compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement.

(d) Subject to Section 1.05, all payments hereunder shall be made in cash in immediately available funds and without any withholding for Taxes of any kind; provided, that the Seller shall provide Purchaser a certificate of non-foreign status in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2).

(e) Seller and Purchaser shall treat the Transaction as a sale by Seller of the assets held by the Company for federal (and all applicable state, local and foreign) income tax purposes. In accordance with such treatment, between the date hereof and the Closing Date Seller and Purchaser shall agree on the allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate), and which allocation shall be binding on Seller and Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser and their Affiliates shall report, act and file Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation prepared by Company. Neither Seller nor Purchaser nor any of their Affiliates shall take any position (whether in audits, Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by Applicable Law.

SECTION 1.04. Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement showing its good faith estimate of the amount of Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital Statement”).

(b) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth the amount of (i) Working Capital as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”) and (ii) the total revenues of the Business determined in accordance with GAAP for the month of October 2006 (the “October Revenues”). Following the Closing Date, each party shall provide to the other party (including to such party’s independent auditors) access at all reasonable times to the personnel, properties, books and records of the such party for such purpose. Seller and its independent auditors may participate in the preparation of the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the Company’s historical accounting principles, methodologies and judgments, except that no effect shall be given to, and the Closing Statement shall not reflect (a) the effect (including any Tax effect) of any act, event or transaction occurring between the actual time of Closing and the close of business on the Closing Date, including any transaction between the Seller and Purchaser or relating to Purchaser’s financing of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) any transaction occurring on the Closing Date between the Company and the Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates or (c) any purchase, accounting or other similar adjustments resulting from the consummation of the Transaction.

(c) During the 30 day period following Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall be permitted to review the working papers of the Company relating to the Closing Statement. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 30th day following delivery thereof, unless Seller gives written notice of its disagreement with the Closing Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to the Purchaser prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted, and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on any failure of Closing Working Capital or the October Revenues to have been calculated in accordance with this Section 1.04. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by the Purchaser in a timely manner, then the Closing Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the Seller and Purchaser on the earlier of (A) the date the Seller and Purchaser resolve in writing any disagreements with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm (as defined below). During the 30 day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any disagreements with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. During such period each party shall

have access to the working papers of the other parties prepared in connection with the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement or any Notice of Disagreement. At the end of such 30 day period, the Seller and Purchaser shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for arbitration any and all matters that remain in dispute and were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Accounting Firm shall be such nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by the Seller and Purchaser in writing. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Seller and Purchaser. If any disputed items are referred to the Accounting Firm, then such disputed items (and any resulting adjustment to the Closing Statement) shall be finally and conclusively, for all purposes hereafter, be as determined by the Accounting Firm. Such determination (the “Accountants’ Determination”) shall be (A) in writing, (B) furnished to the Seller and Purchaser as soon as practicable after the items in dispute have been referred to the Accounting Firm (which the parties shall request shall not be later than sixty (60) days thereafter), (C) made in a manner that is consistent with the prescribed manner of preparation of the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 1.04 and (D) non-appealable and incontestable by the Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, and not subject to collateral attack for any reason. Any fees and disbursements of the Seller’s independent auditors incurred in connection with their review of the Closing Statement and preparation of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the Seller, and any fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s independent auditors incurred in connection with their preparation of the Closing Statement and review of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Purchaser.

(d) Following the final determination of the amount of the Closing Working Capital pursuant to subsection (c) above (the “Final Determination Date”), the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount by which Closing Working Capital exceeds $0 (the “Target Working Capital Amount”), and the Purchase Price shall be decreased by (i) the amount by which Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital Amount and (ii) the product of (x) 6.6 and (y) the positive difference, if any, between (A) 0.70 multiplied by $3,099,000 and (B) and the amount of the October Revenues (the Purchase Price as so increased or decreased is hereinafter referred to as the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). If the Closing Date Amount (plus the initial amount of the General Escrow) is less than the Adjusted Purchase Price, Purchaser shall, and if the Closing Date Amount (plus the initial amount of the General Escrow) is greater than the Adjusted Purchase Price, the Seller shall, within 10 Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, make a payment to the other by wire transfer in immediately available U.S. funds in the amount of such difference. Any amounts owed by the Seller pursuant to this Section 1.04(d) shall be paid out of General Escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to the extent the funds of the General Escrow remain available for such purpose (i.e. not previously released and not subject to pending claims). Any amounts owed by the Seller pursuant to this Section 1.04(d) shall be paid to Purchaser and any amounts owed by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.04(d) shall be paid to the Seller.

(e) The parties acknowledge that the Seller intends to cause all Cash held by the Company to be distributed to the Seller prior to the Closing.

(f) The term “Working Capital” means Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. The term “Current Assets” means current assets, excluding Cash, and the term “Current Liabilities” means the current liabilities (including any liabilities for income or franchise taxes of the Company based on current period events occurring through the Closing Date up to the Closing), in each case, of the Company, calculated in the same way, using the same methods, as the line items on the Latest Balance Sheet (as defined in Section 2.05) as of the Closing Date, except as described below and subject to adjustment in accordance with Exhibit B and consistent with Working Capital as calculated on the Latest Balance Sheet set forth on Exhibit C. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Closing Working Capital shall be calculated in the same way, using the same methods, as the line items comprising Working Capital on the Latest Balance Sheet, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), except as described below and subject to adjustment in accordance with Exhibit B and consistent with Working Capital as calculated on the Latest Balance Sheet set forth on Exhibit C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Current Liabilities shall not include (A) any portion of Funded Indebtedness, (B) any intercompany payables between the Company and the Seller, (C) any liabilities associated with the Company Benefit Plans (including for accrued vacation), (D) any liabilities for all costs and expenses described in Section 5.06 as paid or otherwise satisfied by the Seller, (E) any liabilities incurred by Purchaser in connection with financing the Transaction, (F) any liabilities incurred by the Purchaser in connection with any transaction between or among Purchaser, the Company and any third party occurring between the actual time of Closing and the close of business on the Closing Date, (G) any current and non-current deferred tax liabilities, (H) deferred revenue (except to the extent of customer prepayment for services rendered), and (I) any negative leasehold liabilities and (ii) Current Assets shall not include (A) prepaid income taxes or income tax refunds receivable, (B) any current and non-current deferred tax assets, (C) any intercompany receivables between the Company and the Seller, or (D) any accounts receivable from hosting customers more than 61 days past due (in excess of corresponding reserves) (the “61 Day Receivables”) for purposes of the Estimated Working Capital Statement (provided that any such accounts receivable excluded for purposes of the Estimated Working Capital Statement shall be included in the determination of Closing Working Capital to the extent collected prior to the final determination of Closing Working Capital pursuant to subsection (c) above).

(g) Purchaser agrees, solely with respect to the calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price, and without restricting in any manner whatsoever Purchaser’s right to take any action that would not affect such calculation, that following the Closing, Purchaser will not take, or allow the Company to take, any actions with respect to the accounting books, records, policies and procedures of the Company on which the Closing Statement and Closing Working Capital are to

be based that are not consistent with the accounting principles and methodologies used in preparation of the Estimated Working Capital Statement pursuant to Section 1.03(b) and 1.04(a).

(h) The parties hereto agree that (i) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the 61 Day Receivables prior to the Final Determination Date, (ii) none of the 61 Day Receivables shall be forgiven or excused prior to the Final Determination Date and (iii) the Company shall send notices of default or termination of any 61 Day Receivables to the appropriate hosting customer in a manner consistent with past practice.

ARTICLE II

Representations and Warranties Relating to the Company

The Company and the Seller hereby represent and warrant to the Purchaser (except as set forth in the written disclosure schedules (which schedules shall in each case identify by reference to Sections of this Agreement any exceptions to each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that any information set forth in one section of such disclosure schedules shall be deemed to apply to each other Section or subsection thereof or hereof to which its relevance is reasonably apparent) delivered by the Company or the Seller to the Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedules”)) as follows:

SECTION 2.01. Organization; Standing; Qualification; Power. The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted.

SECTION 2.02. Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. The Company has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action, and the execution and delivery by the Company of each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby will be duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company prior to the Closing. The Company has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and, prior to the Closing, will have duly executed and delivered each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, and this Agreement constitutes, and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party will after the Closing constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,

fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.

SECTION 2.03. No Conflicts; Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement does not, the execution and delivery by the Company of each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party will not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation under, any provision of (i) the Fundamental Documents of the Company, (ii) any Material Contract or (iii) any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Entity (“Judgment”) or statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation (“Applicable Law”) applicable to the Company or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such conflicts, violations, defaults, or rights or losses that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(b) No consent, approval, license or order (“Consent”) of, material Permit of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to, the Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, other than (i) those the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is, or is specified to be, a party and (ii) those that may be required by reason of Purchaser’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby and by any Ancillary Agreement.

SECTION 2.04. Capitalization; Subsidiaries.

(a) The outstanding equity interests in the Company consist solely of the Interests. There are no outstanding options, warrants, rights, calls, agreements, convertible securities or other commitments or rights issued by the Company or to which the Company is a party to purchase or acquire any equity interests from the Company, and no other equity interests of the Company are reserved for any purpose. There are no Contracts to which the Company is a party that relate to the Interests.

	(b)	The Company has no Subsidiaries.
	SECTION 2.05. Financial Statements.

(a) Schedule 2.05(a) contains a true and complete copy of the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2006 (the "Latest Balance Sheet") and the unaudited pro forma statements of income for the nine-month period then ended and for the year-ended September 30, 2005 (together with the Latest Balance Sheet, the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements (i) were prepared

by the Company on a basis consistent with the Seller Financial Statements (as defined below), (ii) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations of the Company as of the dates thereof or for the periods covered thereby, as the case may be (subject to the absence of (x) any footnotes that may be required and (y) normal year-end adjustments) and (iii) are based upon certain assumptions considered reasonable by management), taking into effect that (i) the Financial Statements reflect all operating costs associated with the Centre Street Property, (ii) the Financial Statements do not reflect the costs of finance and IT support provided by the Seller and (iii) the Financial Statements do not reflect charges for services provided by NEON to the Business. The Financial Statements are derived from the Seller Financial Statements (as defined below) assuming that (i) the contribution of the assets comprising the Business were contributed to the Company on October 1, 2004 and (ii) the transaction for the sale of Centre Street Property by ATC Merger Corp. closed on September 29, 2006. All material adjustments to the Seller Financial Statements made as part of such derivation are disclosed in the Company Schedules. The Company believes that the assumptions made in deriving the Financial Statements from the Seller Financial Statements are reasonable. The Financial Statements may be subject to adjustment based on the actual carrying value of net assets sold at the date of closing, among other considerations.

(b) The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Seller’s consolidated financial statements (the “Seller Financial Statements”), contained in the Seller’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended September 30, 2005 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as filed with the SEC.

(c) Except as and to the extent disclosed or reflected in the Latest Balance Sheet or otherwise listed or described herein or in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (or in the schedules hereto or thereto), the Company does not have any liabilities of a nature that would be required to be reflected or reserved against in a balance sheet of the Company, except for liabilities (i) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) incurred in the ordinary course of business since June 30, 2006 or (iii) that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

The Non-Filing Party shall pay the Filing Party 50% of the amount of the Transfer Taxes shown to be due on such Returns within 10 days of receipt of such Returns from the Filing Party. If required by applicable law, Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Returns and other documentation. Each party agrees to use reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes, and to cooperate with the other parties in providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to file any Return with respect to any such Transfer Taxes or to obtain any exemptions therefrom.

SECTION 5.07. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 5.08. Supplemental Disclosure; Notice of Prospective Breach.

(a) The Seller shall have the continuing obligation until the Closing to supplement or amend promptly the Schedules with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered that, if existing or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Schedules.

(b) Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company and the Seller, on the other hand, shall each promptly notify the other in writing upon the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, which occurrence or failure to occur would reasonably be expected to cause (i) any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at the Closing as if such representation and warranty were made at such time or (ii) any material failure of any party hereto to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement.

SECTION 5.09. Publicity.

SECTION 5.11. Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party, each party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions (subject to Section 5.05), as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, in the case of the Seller, executing and delivering to Purchaser such assignments, deeds, bills of sale, Consents and other instruments as Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request as necessary or desirable for such purpose.

SECTION 5.12. Release. Effective as of the Closing, each of the Company and Purchaser hereby releases the Seller and its officers, directors, stockholders, partners, Affiliates, employees, agents, and attorneys and each of them (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) from any and all Claims and agrees not to bring or threaten to bring or otherwise join in any Claim against the Seller Released Parties or any of them, relating to, arising out of or in connection with any facts or circumstances relating to the Company which existed on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Claim under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

SECTION 5.13. Contact with Customers and Suppliers. Purchaser, on behalf of itself, and its employees, agents, representatives, financing sources or Affiliates hereby agrees that such Persons are not authorized to and shall not contact, directly or indirectly, any franchisee, supplier, distributor, customer or other Person with a material business relationship with the Company with respect to the Seller, the Business or the potential Transaction prior to the Closing (other than as consented to in writing by the Company).

SECTION 5.14. Certain Employee Matters.

(a) Schedule 5.14(a) lists all employees of Seller who work exclusively in the Business. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall offer to employ each employee listed on Schedule 5.14(a) and shall provide to each employee who accepts such offer of employment (each such accepting employee, a “Retained Employee”) compensation (including such employee’s base salary or hourly rate of pay and working hours and bonus opportunity) that is at least substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the compensation that was provided to such Retained Employee on the Closing Date and benefits that are at least substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the benefits that were provided to such Retained Employee on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not terminate the employment of any individual designated as “key personnel” on Schedule 5.14(a) for so long as the Transition Services Agreement remains in effect. Purchaser may substitute one or more “corporate” level employees of Seller for an equivalent number of employees identified on Schedule 5.14(a) by notice given not less than five business days prior to the Closing (in which case the provisions

of this Section 5.14 shall apply to such employees as if they were listed on Schedule 5.14(a) and the parties shall agree to appropriate adjustments to the Transition Services Agreement to reflect any such substitution).

(b) During the 90 days following the closing, Purchaser may offer employment to the employees of Seller identified as "transition employees" on Schedule 5.14(b); provided that the transfer of the employment of any such transition employee shall occur at such time during such 90 day period as may be agreed to by Seller. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify those transition employees to whom it will offer employment as soon as practicable following the date hereof. Upon the transfer of employment of any of such transition employees to the Purchaser, such transition employees shall be deemed to be Retained Employees for all purposes hereunder.

(c) Purchaser shall treat or cause to be treated all service completed by any Retained Employee with Seller the same as service completed with the Company or Purchaser for all purposes, including waiting periods relating to preexisting conditions under medical plans, eligibility for and amount of severance pay, eligibility to participate in, vesting or payment of benefits under, and eligibility for early retirement or any subsidized benefit provided for under any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, whether or not such employee benefit plan is subject to ERISA) maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date. For purposes of computing deductible amounts (or like adjustments or limitations on coverage) under any employee welfare benefit plan (including, without limitation, any “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA whether or not such employee welfare benefit plan is subject to ERISA), expenses and claims previously recognized for similar purposes under the applicable Company Benefit Plan shall be credited or recognized under the comparable plan maintained after the Closing Date by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Purchaser will credit each Retained Employee hired by Purchaser or its Affiliates with at least such number of unused vacation days and other paid time off accrued by such employee with the Seller or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ personnel policies applicable to such employees on the date hereof, copies of which have been made available to Purchaser.

(e) Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred as a result of the termination of employment of any employee listed on Schedule 5.14(a) who does not become employed by Purchaser. Costs for which Seller shall be indemnified under this Section 5.14 include, but are not limited to severance payments under the Seller’s severance plan or program, payments due under any employment agreement or offer letter, outplacement fees or unemployment compensation costs incurred by Seller or any expenses under the WARN Act for such employees.

(f) This Section 5.14 of this Agreement is intended to be for the benefit of the Retained Employees and may be enforced by such employees.

SECTION 5.15. Insurance. Seller shall keep, or cause to be kept, all material insurance policies that provide coverage for the Company and its Subsidiaries in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date, or provide for the renewal of all such policies that are expiring by their own terms prior to such date. As of the close of business on the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate or cause its Affiliates to terminate all coverage relating to the Company or the Business under the general corporate policies of insurance of Seller for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (i) no such termination of any “occurrence” policy in force as of the Closing Date shall be effected so as to prevent the Company and its Subsidiaries from recovering under such policies for losses from events occurring prior to the Closing Date to the extent the insurance company or third party claims administrator shall have received written notice or claims relating to such events on or before the 30^th day following the Closing Date; and (ii) no such termination of any “claims-made” policy in force as of the Closing Date shall be effected so as to prevent the Company and its Subsidiaries from recovering under such policies for losses from events occurring prior to the Closing Date to the extent the insurance company or third party claims administrator shall have received written notice of claims relating to such events on or before the Closing Date. For all insurance claims of the Company and its Subsidiaries filed prior to the Closing, and for those claims of the Company and its Subsidiaries identified as set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), upon the consummation of the Closing, Purchaser shall be, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to be responsible for, any and all costs related to any such claim, including deductibles, self-insurance retentions, claims adjusting expenses, loss conversion factor expenses, retro-active premium adjustments, collateral requirements and associated costs, uninsured losses, and any other costs that become due and payable under the terms of the applicable policy in connection with any such claims. Purchaser agrees to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to reimburse Seller for these costs by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of any invoice from Seller relating thereto. Purchaser shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to become solely responsible for any and all insurance coverage and risk of loss with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries based on (x) events occurring on or after the Closing Date and (y) events occurring prior to the Closing Date for which notice has not been received as described by the date set forth in the foregoing clause (i) and (ii).

SECTION 5.16. Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation.

(a) For a period of one year from the Closing Date, Seller shall not, nor shall Seller permit its subsidiaries to engage in the business of providing [web hosting services] within a 25 mile radius of the Company’s principal hosting facilities as of the date hereof at the Centre Street Property and at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇; provided that nothing in this subsection (a) shall prohibit Seller from (i) providing web hosting services to customers of its transport business, (ii) providing high density hosting services to customers at NEON facilities, or (iii)

acquiring any company, business or assets which derives less than 25% of its revenue from providing hosting services at the time of execution of the definitive agreement relating to such acquisition. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.16, the restrictions contained in this Section 5.16 shall not apply to any parent company and its subsidiaries (but shall apply to Seller and its subsidiaries) that acquires Seller whether by way of merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise.

(b) For a period of one year following the date hereof, Seller shall not and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit or induce any Retained Employee to leave the employment of Purchaser; provided that this covenant shall not be deemed breached if any such employee is responding to general employment solicitation by Seller or any of its Affiliates which is not specifically directed at the Retained Employees or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any web hosting customer of the Company as of the date hereof to cease doing business with the Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such web hosting customer, on the one hand, and the Company; provided that this covenant shall not be deemed breached if any such web hosting customer approaches Seller or its subsidiaries without any direct or indirect solicitation by Seller or its Affiliates.

(c) If, in any judicial proceeding, the court shall refuse to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 5.16 because the time limit is too long, it is expressly understood and agreed between the parties hereto that for purposes of such proceeding such time limitation shall be deemed reduced to the extent necessary to permit enforcement of such covenants. If, in any judicial proceeding, the court shall refuse to enforce covenants contained in this Section 5.16 because they are more extensive (whether as to geographic area, scope of business or otherwise) than necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the Company or Purchaser, it is expressly understood and agreed between the parties hereto that for purposes of such proceeding the geographic area, scope of business or other aspect shall be deemed reduced to the extent necessary to permit enforcement of such covenants.

SECTION 5.17. Operating Expense Escrow. The Seller and Purchaser agree to take all actions necessary to cause the Escrow Agent to release funds from the Operating Expense Escrow, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, for the amount by which the Operating Expense Prepayment exceeds the actual amount, if any, of Operating Expenses payable by the Company, in accordance with Sections 4 and 5 of the Sublease.

SECTION 5.18. Globix Hosting Name. Seller shall assign all of its rights to the name “Globix” to Purchaser on or prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.19. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby guarantees (the “Guaranty”) the obligations and performance of Purchaser under this Agreement (the “Obligations”). The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor regardless of whether any action is brought against Purchaser or whether Purchaser is

joined in any such action or actions. The Guaranty is a guaranty of performance and payment when due and not merely of collection. The Guaranty shall be unconditional regardless of any lack of enforceability of this Agreement or any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Proceeding with respect to Purchaser; provided, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to preclude the Guarantor from asserting any of the defenses that would have been available to Purchaser. The obligations of Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate on June 30, 2007.

SECTION 6.04. Frustration of Closing Conditions. Neither Purchaser nor the Seller may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VI to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act in good faith or to comply with its covenants or other obligations contained herein, including, without limitation, the obligations to use its best efforts to cause the Closing to occur, contained in Section 5.05.

SECTION 6.05. Effect of Certain Waivers of Closing Conditions. If (i) prior to the date hereof any party (the “Waiving Party”) has knowledge of any inaccuracy or breach by any other party of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and (ii) the Waiving Party proceeds with the Closing, the Waiving Party shall be deemed to have waived such breach and the Waiving Party and its successors, assigns and Affiliates shall not be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Article VIII, to ▇▇▇ for damages or to assert any other right or remedy for any losses arising from any matters relating to such condition or breach, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto.

ARTICLE VII

Termination, Amendment and Waiver

(i)

by mutual written consent of the Seller and Purchaser;

(ii) by the Seller if any of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.01 or 6.03 shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the Outside Date, and shall not have been either waived by the Seller or cured by the Purchaser within thirty (30) days of receiving notice from the Seller of such outstanding condition;

(iii) by Purchaser if any of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.01 or 6.02 shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the

Outside Date, and shall not have been either waived by Purchaser or cured by the Seller within thirty (30) days of receiving notice from the Purchaser of such outstanding condition; or

(iv) by the Seller or Purchaser, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the date hereof (or such later date as the Seller and Purchaser may agree in writing) (such date the “Outside Date”);

provided, however, that the party seeking termination pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) is not then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

(b) In the event of termination by the Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.01, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by any party. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated as provided herein, (i) Purchaser shall return all documents and other material received from the Seller or the Company relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the Seller or the Company and (ii) all confidential information received by Purchaser with respect to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.02. Effect of Termination.

Nothing in this Section 7.02 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Seller, on the other hand, may waive compliance by the other with any term or provision of this Agreement that such other

party was or is obligated to comply with or perform only by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the waiving party.

ARTICLE VIII

Indemnification

SECTION 8.01. Indemnification by the Seller.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify Purchaser, its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from, any loss, liability, Claim, damage or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), suffered or incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnitee arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of, without duplication:

(i) any breach as of the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of the Company which survives the Closing (and has not otherwise expired) contained in Article II of this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant of the Company contained in Article V of this Agreement requiring performance prior to the Closing Date;

(iii) any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by the Company (in each case as of the Closing Date) to any brokers, financial advisors or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iv) any liabilities incurred by the Company associated with the matter disclosed on Schedule 2.11 for periods prior to the Closing Date.

(b) From and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees against any Losses suffered or incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnitee directly arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of:

(i) any breach as of the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of the Seller that survives the Closing (and has not otherwise expired) contained in Article III of this Agreement.

(ii) any breach of any covenant of the Seller contained in Article V of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitee, and shall not have any liability:

(i) under Section 8.01(a)(i) and Section 8.01(b) unless the aggregate of all Losses for which the Seller would, but for this clause (i), be liable thereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price, and then only to the extent of any such excess;

(ii) under Section 8.01(a)(i) and Section 8.01(a)(ii) and under Section 8.01(b) for any breach if Section 6.05 is applicable to such breach;

(iii) under Section 8.01(a)(i) and under Section 8.01(b) in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price; and

(iv) under Section 8.01 to the extent such amount was taken into account in determining Closing Working Capital.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that its sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing with respect to any and all Claims relating to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Company or any Subsidiary and their respective assets and liabilities (other than Claims of fraud) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII and, prior to May 31, 2007, shall be asserted first against the General Escrow (and not the Seller individually) and pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Purchaser and the Company hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any and all rights, Claims for damages it may have against the Seller arising under, based upon or relating to the Transaction, this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, any Applicable Law, common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 8.01). This Section 8.01(d) shall not limit Purchaser’s right, in any arbitration before the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 1.04, to assert that the Closing Statement was not prepared in compliance with the Agreement.

SECTION 8.02. Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser and the Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Seller, its respective Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from any Loss suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee directly arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of, without duplication:

(i) any breach as of the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of Purchaser which survives the Closing contained in this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any breach of any covenant of the Company contained in

this Agreement, in the case of the Company, requiring performance after the Closing Date;

(iii) any guarantee or obligation to assure performance given or made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller with respect to any obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(iv) any Claim that the purchase and sale of the Interests or the transactions contemplated hereby give rise to any severance or other benefits to a Continued Employee under any Contract; and

(v) any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by Purchaser to any financing source, brokers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants or comparable other Persons retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 8.03. Calculation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be net of any amounts recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss and shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax Benefit realized by the indemnified party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. The amount of the Loss arising out of any item included as a liability in calculating Closing Working Capital shall be calculated net of the amount so included. The amount of the Loss arising out of any reduction in value of any Current Asset acquired at the Closing shall be calculated net of the reported value of such Current Asset used in calculating Closing Working Capital.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, no party shall be liable for, and the definition of Loss shall not include, any consequential, incidental or indirect damages, special or punitive damages, including loss of revenue, profits or income, diminution in value of securities or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

SECTION 8.04. Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless any party (i) pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i), 8.01(b)(i) or 8.02(i) shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 8.06, (ii) pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(ii), 8.01(b)(ii) or 8.02(ii) shall terminate when the applicable covenant terminates pursuant to Section 8.06 and (iii) pursuant to the other clauses of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 shall not terminate; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a Claim by delivering a notice of

such Claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such Claim) pursuant to Section 8.05 to the party to be providing the indemnification.

SECTION 8.05. Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. In order for a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indmenitee (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 8.01 or 8.02 in respect of, arising out of or involving a Claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the Seller or Purchaser, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), in writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim promptly following receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) business days’ time after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party, in any event, shall continue to be entitled to control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the Indemnified Parties shall be obligated to cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the

defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, which releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party.

(c) Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a Claim against any Indemnifying Party under Section 8.01 or 8.02 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such Claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. Subject to Sections 8.04 and 8.06, the failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 8.01 or 8.02, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been prejudiced by such failure. Upon a determination of Liability in connection with this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party the amount so determined within five (5) Business Days after the date of determination. If there should be a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation as shall not be subject to dispute.

(d) Mitigation. Each party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any of its Losses (including, to the extent consistent with sound business judgment, incurring costs only to the extent reasonably necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to the Losses) upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise to any indemnifiable Losses. Purchaser and each Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any Claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any such Claim or liability; provided, however, that such party shall not be required to make such efforts if they would be detrimental in any material respect to such party. In the event that Purchaser or the Seller shall fail to expend commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any Claim or liability, then (unless the proviso to the foregoing sentence shall be applicable) notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any loss, liability, Claim, damage or expense that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

SECTION 8.06. Survival.

(a) The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and other provisions contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing except as follows: (i) the representations and warranties in Article II, Article III and Section 4.03 (No Conflicts; Consent) shall survive until May 31, 2007 (the “Survival Date”) (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.02 (Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability), Section 2.04 (Capitalization; Subsidiaries), Section 2.19 (Brokers or Finders), Section 3.01 (Authority; Enforceability; No Violation, Etc.), Section 3.03 (The Interests) and Section 3.04 (Brokers or Finders) which shall survive for three (3) years following the Closing), (ii) the representations and warranties in Article IV (other than Section 4.03 (No Conflicts; Consent)) shall survive for three (3) years following the Closing and (iii) the covenants and other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date until they are otherwise terminated, whether by their express terms or as a matter of applicable Law.

SECTION 8.07. No Additional Representations. Purchaser acknowledges that (i) neither the Seller, the Company nor any other Person has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Company or any Subsidiary or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company and the Subsidiaries furnished or made available to Purchaser and its representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Schedules and (ii) Purchaser has not relied on any representation or warranty from the Company, the Seller, or any other Person in determining to enter into this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Schedules. Purchaser acknowledges that, should the Closing occur, Purchaser shall acquire the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries without any representation or warranty as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, in an “as is” condition and on a “where is” basis, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

SECTION 8.08. Exculpation, Etc.

(a) After the Closing Date, the Company shall exculpate (to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law) and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, each of the directors, officers and controlling Persons of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each of them acting in such capacity at or prior to the Closing) against all Losses arising out of any violations or alleged violations of fiduciary duties of care or loyalty or other fiduciary duties to the Company in their capacities as officers, directors or controlling Persons of the Company occurring at or prior to the Closing Date to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law.

(b) The provisions of this Section 8.08 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each such Person entitled to indemnification, his or her heirs and his or her representatives.

SECTION 8.09. Adjustment to Purchase Price The parties agree to treat all payments made under this Article VIII and any other indemnity provisions contained

in this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.
