The Parties hereto agree to modify the Lease as follows:

                              Preliminary Remarks

The Tenant has rescheduled the fit-out and operations of its facility on the
Premises. In consequence of this rescheduling the actual occupation of the
Premises by the Tenant and the installation of its equipment will take place at
a later time than anticipated. This means that part of the fit-out work which is
geared to the specific needs of the Tenant can take place later than expected.
<PAGE>

In view of the fact that the Landlord has already given certain instructions to
construction firms and in view of the fact that the Landlord's bank relies on
the financial obligations of the Tenant under the Lease, the parties, in view of
the Premises, agree on what follows:

1.   Transfer of the leased property will take place as previously agreed on
     February 7, 2001. Due to the modified construction planning and the delayed
     submission of the Preliminary Design Package by the Tenant, the parties
     hereby agree that Handover will take place on February 7, 2001 in
     accordance with the condition described in Exhibit C-1 of this First
     Supplement to the Lease. Exhibit C-1 herewith replaces Exhibit C, Landlords
     Scope of Building Works' of the lease agreement; whereas the drawing
     Exhibit C - Landlord Improvements' remains unaffected.

     In the event Tenant does not apply by 31" July, 2001 for:-

          .    all necessary work permits for the utilization of the Property as
               an internet exchange center; and

          .    to the (local) authorities regarding approval and permits for
               (diesel) generators, fuel tanks, antenna(-s) and satellite
               dish(-es); including permission from the Historical Preservation
               Department authorities to obtain permits,

     then the Tenant hereby waives his right of cancellation pursuant to section
     20.1, 2nd and 4th bullet points of the Lease, in such case.

     In case Tenant does not submit the Preliminary Design Packages by January
     31, 2001, then Landlord is entitled to construct the leased property in
     accordance with Exhibit C-1, item B "Building work after February 2001". If
     Landlord does not complete this work by July 31, 2001 then Landlord shall
     pay as liquidated damages an amount equal to three times the daily Rent in
     accordance with Article 2.4.1 otherwise due for each commenced day after
     July 31, 2001.

2.   If the Tenant does not execute an agreement with "Mainova" on the supply of
     certain quantities of electricity by October 31, 2000, the Tenant may lose
     the power allocation which was tentatively promised by Mainova to the
     Tenant through the good offices of the Landlord as a consequence. Art.
     20.1, 3rd bullet point of the Lease provides for a guaranty of such power
     delivery by the Landlord.

     In case that the Tenant does not execute the agreement with Mainova, the
     Tenant hereby relieves the Landlord from its obligation under Art. 20.1,
     3rd bullet point of the Lease to guarantee the power supply by Mainova; the
     Tenant hereby waives his right of cancellation pursuant to section 20.1,
     3rd bullet point of the Lease, in such case.

3.   Despite the changes reflected in Exhibit C-1, the Tenant shall

          -    commence payment of the Service Charges per April 1, 2001 as
               agreed in Sec. 9 (b) Lease Summary

                                       2
<PAGE>

          -    commence payment of the Rent per October 1, 2001 as agreed in
               Sec. 9 (b) Lease Summary


4.   The Parties are in agreement that Sec. 4.a.2.1 has a typo on line four. The
     date should be: "7th February 2001" instead of "7th February 2000".

5.   Tenant's address has been changed to the following new address; Equinix,
     Inc., 2450 Bayshore Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

     All other provisions of the Lease shall remain unaffected.
