That certain NETWORK SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated September 28, 2001, by and between SAVVIS Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SAVVIS”), and Reuters Limited, a company incorporated in England under registered number 3918478 (“Reuters”), is hereby amended effective March 1, 2002 (the “Effective Date”) by this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”), as follows:

 

 1. This Amendment and attached exhibits applies only to xDSL and LANx services, as defined in Exhibit 2 hereto, provided by SAVVIS to Reuters in Canada (“Canadian Services”).

 

 2. The following provisions shall apply to the pricing for Canadian Services:

 

 a. The new circuit pricing for Canadian Services (“Canadian Pricing”) is set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto, which supplements and revises Schedule 3 of the Agreement with respect to Canadian Services only.

 

 b. The new Canadian Pricing is predicated upon Reuters maintaining a circuit level count in Canada in excess of [**] circuits (the “Circuit Minimum”) for a period of no less than [**] commencing upon the Effective Date (the “Initial Period”). If the circuit count in Canada falls below the Circuit Minimum during the Initial Period, SAVVIS reserves the right to invoice Reuters for the equivalent of [**] circuits regardless of the actual number of client circuits installed. [**] Upon completion of the Initial Period, SAVVIS will invoice Reuters [**] set forth in Exhibit 1. [**]

 

 c. In the event that Reuters experiences a “business downturn” in Canada, as defined in Section 3.6.3(D) of the Agreement, the Circuit Minimum shall no longer apply.

 

 d. The new Canadian Prices shall take effect as of the Effective Date, provided, however, that the new Canadian Pricing will not apply to any circuits that require migration unless and until such migration is completed.

 

 e. Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”) for the Canadian Services will be adjusted as set forth in Exhibit 2 hereto, which supplements Schedule 5 of

 

[**] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED


      the Agreement with respect to the xDSL and LANx services in Canada only. Other Canadian services will continue to be subject to the SLAs for the North America Region, as set forth in Schedule 5 of the Agreement.

 

 f. Upon notification from Reuters that it is no longer utilizing the POPs in Calgary and Vancouver, SAVVIS shall reduce the Multicast Fee for the Canadian Multicast Service by [**] per month.

 

 g. The new Canadian Pricing and terms and conditions with respect to Canada Services set forth herein, including the reductions in the Canadian Multicast Fee, shall not effect the Minimum Monthly Commitments as set forth in the Agreement.

 

 h. The new Canadian Pricing constitutes a price review as defined in Section 3.5 of the Agreement.

 

 3. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
