Amendment to Executive Retention Agreement between StorageNetworks, Inc. and Executive
This amendment, dated May 14, modifies the existing Executive Retention Agreement between StorageNetworks, Inc. and the Executive. The main change is that any cash compensation owed to the Executive under Section 4.2 will now be paid in full on the termination date, rather than in installments or at previously specified times. All other terms of the original agreement remain unchanged.
