Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

    The Delaware General Corporation Law and StorageNetworks' charter and by-
laws provide for indemnification of StorageNetworks' directors and officers for
liabilities and expenses that they may incur in such capacities. In general,
directors and officers are indemnified with respect to actions taken in good
faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of StorageNetworks and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, actions that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe were
unlawful. Reference is made to StorageNetworks' charter and by-laws filed as
Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, respectively.

    The Underwriting Agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated,
under some circumstances, to indemnify directors, officers and controlling
persons of StorageNetworks against some liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Reference
is made to the form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

    All other schedules for which provision is made in the applicable
accounting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission are not

been omitted.

Item 17. Undertakings.

    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 described in Item 14 above, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange 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, 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.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (1) to provide to the
underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser; (2) that for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information
omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration
statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus
filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the
Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of
the time it was declared effective; and (3) that for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that
contains a form of prospectus 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.
