ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
- ------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that
eliminates the personal liability of its directors to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Bylaws of the Registrant provide that: (i) the Registrant is required
to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law; (ii) the Registrant may, in
its discretion, indemnify other officers, employees and agents as set forth in
the Delaware General Corporation Law; (iii) upon receipt of an undertaking to
repay such advances if indemnification is determined to be unavailable, the
Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and
executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law in connection with a proceeding (except if a determination is
reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding or, in
certain circumstances, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that
the facts known to the decision-making party demonstrate clearly and
convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such
person did not believe to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation); (iv) the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive and
the Registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers and employees and agents; (v) the Registrant may not
retroactively amend the Bylaw provisions relating to indemnity; and (vi) to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, a
director or executive officer will be deemed to have acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful if his or her action is based on the records or books of account
of the corporation or on information supplied to him or her by officers of the
corporation in the course of
II-1
<PAGE>
their duties or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or on
information or records given or reports made to the corporation by independent
certified public accountants or appraisers or other experts.
The Registrant's policy is to enter into indemnification agreements with each
of its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements provide
that directors and executive officers will be indemnified and held harmless to
the fullest possible extent permitted by law including against all expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts paid or
reasonably incurred by them in any action, suit or proceeding, including any
derivative action by or in the right of the Registrant, on account of their
services as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant or as
directors, officers, employees or agents of any other company or enterprise
when they are serving in such capacities at the request of the Registrant. The
Registrant will not be obligated pursuant to the agreements to indemnify or
advance expenses to an indemnified party with respect to proceedings or claims
(i) initiated or brought voluntarily by the indemnified party and not by way of
defense, except with respect to a proceeding to establish or enforce a right to
indemnify under the indemnification agreements or any other agreement or
insurance policy or under the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification, or authorized by
the Board of Directors or as otherwise required under Delaware statute or law,
regardless of whether the indemnified party is ultimately determined to be
entitled to such indemnification, (ii) for expenses and the payment of profits
arising from the purchase and sale by the indemnified party of securities in
violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any
similar successor statute or (iii) if a final decision by a court having
jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not
lawful.
The indemnification agreement also provides for contribution in certain
situations in which the Registrant and a director or executive officer are
jointly liable but indemnification is unavailable, such contribution to be
based on the relative benefits received and the relative fault of the
Registrant and the director or executive officer. No contribution is allowed to
a person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act of 1933) from any person who was not found
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The indemnification agreement requires a director or executive officer to
reimburse the Registrant for all expenses advanced only to the extent it is
ultimately determined that the director or executive officer is not entitled,
under Delaware law, the Bylaws, the indemnification agreement or otherwise, to
be indemnified for such expenses. The form of indemnification agreement
provides that it is not exclusive of any rights a director or executive officer
may have under the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, other agreements, any
majority-in-interest vote of the stockholders or vote of disinterested
directors, Delaware law or otherwise.
The indemnification provision in the Bylaws, and the form of indemnification
agreements entered into between the Registrant and its directors and executive
officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant's executive officers and directors for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
As authorized by the Registrant's Bylaws, the Registrant, with approval by
the Board, expects to purchase director and officer liability insurance.
In addition, Mr. Mocarski is indemnified in certain circumstances by Fleet
Financial Group, Inc.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
- ------ ------------
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not
-------- -------
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
----
fide offering thereof.
- ----
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
----
fide offering thereof.
- ----
II-3
<PAGE>
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen/Ladies:
At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") to be filed by you with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on or about March 19, 1998 in connection with
the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate
of 5,708,706 shares of your Common Stock (the "Stock"), subject to issuance by
you upon the exercise of (a) stock options to be granted by you under the 1998
Equity Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan") and the 1998 Directors Stock Option
Plan (the "Directors Plan"), (b) stock options granted by you under your 1995
Stock Option Plan and 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan"), which
plans had been terminated and under which no further options will be granted
(the "1995 Plan"), (c) stock options granted by you outside of any stock
option plan (the "Non-Plan Options") or (d) purchase rights granted or to be
granted under your 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the
"Purchase Plan"). The plans referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above are
collectively referred to in this letter as the "Plans"). In rendering this
opinion, we have examined the following:
(1) your registration statement on Form S-1 (File Number 333-44469)
filed with and declared effective by the Commission on March 18,
1998, together with the exhibits filed as part thereof, including
without limitation, each of the Plans and related stock option
grant and exercise agreements and each of the Non-Plan Options;
(2) your registration statement on Form 8-A filed the Commission on
February 12, 1998, declared effective by the Commission on March
18, 1998;
(3) the Registration Statement, together with the Exhibits filed as a
part thereof;
(4) the Prospectuses prepared in connection with the Registration
Statement;
(5) the minutes of meetings and actions by written consent of the
stockholders and Board of Directors that are contained in your
minute books and the minute books of your predecessor, Exodus
Communications, Inc., a California corporation ("Exodus
California"), that are in our possession;
(6) the stock records for both you and Exodus California that you have
provided to us (consisting of a list of stockholders and a list of
option and warrant holders respecting your capital and of any
rights to purchase capital stock); and
(7) a Management Certificate addressed to us and dated of even date
herewith executed by the Company containing certain factual and
other representations.
We have also confirmed the effectiveness of the Company's registration
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by telephone call to the

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus constituting a part thereof and any
amendments thereto.
This opinion speaks only as of its date and we assume no obligation to
