PART II
 
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 20.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Section 145 of the DGCL, Article VII, Part A of Internap’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Article XI of Internap’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, and indemnification agreements entered into by Internap with each of its directors and certain officers provide for the indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances.
 
Set forth below is Article VII of Internap’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation:
 
A.  The liability of the directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent under applicable law.
 
B. Any repeal or modification of this Article VII shall be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Article VII in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.”
 
Set forth below is Article XI of Internap’s Amended and Restated Bylaws:
 
“ARTICLE XI
 
Indemnification
 
Section 43. Indemnification Of Directors, Executive Officers, Other Officers, Employees And Other Agents.
 
(a) Directors and Officers.  The corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d).
 
(b) Employees and Other Agents.  The corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.
 
(c) Expenses.  The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 43 or otherwise.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 43, no advance shall be made by the corporation to an officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such


II-1


 

officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made 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.
 
(d) Enforcement.  Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Section 43 to a director or officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence 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, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the corporation.
 
(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law, or by any other applicable law.
 
(f) Survival of Rights.  The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
 
(g) Insurance.  To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 43.
 
(h) Amendments.  Any repeal or modification of this Section 43 shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.
 
(i) Saving Clause.  If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Section 43 that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other


II-2


 

applicable law. If this Section 43 shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and officer to the full extent under any other applicable law.
 
(j) Certain Definitions.  For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:
 
(1) The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.
 
(2) The term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.
 
(3) The term the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 43 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
 
(4) References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
 
(5) References to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Section 43.”
 
In addition, each officer and director of Internap is a party to a written agreement which states that Internap agrees to hold such person harmless and indemnify such person against any and all judgments, fines, settlements and expenses related to claims against such person by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of Internap, and otherwise to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Internap’s bylaws and under the non-exclusivity provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
Internap has also purchased liability insurance policies covering certain directors and officers of Internap.

Item 22.   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 of 1933;
 
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume

II-4


 

and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
(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) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement;
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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;
 
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 tide offering thereof;
 
(5) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request;
 
(6) That, prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form;
 
(7) That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (6) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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; and
 
(8) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     Based upon our examination of the foregoing items and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations, and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that for United States federal income tax purposes, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the discussion contained in the Prospectus under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Tax Consequences” is accurate in all material respects.
     This opinion represents and is based upon our best judgment regarding the application of United States federal income tax laws arising under the Code, existing judicial decisions, administrative regulations, and published rulings and procedures. Our opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully assert a contrary position. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial, or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retroactive basis, will not adversely affect the accuracy of the conclusions stated herein. Nevertheless, we undertake no responsibility to advise you of any new developments in the application or interpretation of the United States federal income tax laws. Additionally, this opinion addresses only the matters stated herein, and does not address any other federal, state, local, or foreign tax consequences that may result from the Merger or any other transaction (including any transaction undertaken in connection with the Merger).
     No opinion is expressed as to the Merger or to any transaction whatsoever, including the Merger, if all the transactions described in the Merger Agreement are not consummated in accordance with the terms of such Merger Agreement and without waiver or breach of any material provision thereof or if any of the representations, warranties, statements, and assumptions upon which we have relied are not true and accurate through the Effective Time and at all relevant times thereafter. In the event that any of the statements, representations, warranties, or assumptions upon which we have relied to issue this opinion is incorrect, our opinion may be adversely affected and may not be relied upon.
     We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to all references to our firm included in or made part of such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

VitalStream Holdings, Inc.

Irvine, California 92618
     Re: Merger of Ivy Acquisition Corp. with and into VitalStream Holdings, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel for VitalStream Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of Ivy Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Internap Network Services Corporation (“Parent”), with and into the Company pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between Parent, Merger Sub and the Company dated as of October 12, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”). In that connection, you have requested our opinion regarding certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the Merger. Unless otherwise specified herein, all capitalized terms used in this opinion have the meaning assigned to them in the Merger Agreement. This opinion is being provided pursuant to Section 6.2(e) of the Merger Agreement.
     In the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.5132 shares of Parent Common Stock. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock.
     The Merger and the Merger Agreement are more fully described in the Internap Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the registration of shares of Internap Common Stock to which this opinion is an exhibit, which Registration Statement is being filed by Internap with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement includes the joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “Prospectus”) of Parent and the Company.
     In rendering the opinion expressed below, we have examined and relied upon the accuracy of the facts, information and representations and the completeness of the covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, the Registration Statement and Prospectus and such other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary. Our opinion is conditioned upon such accuracy and completeness as of the date hereof, and the continuing accuracy and completeness thereof as of the effective time of the Merger. Moreover, we have assumed the absence of any change to any of such instruments between the date hereof and the effective time of the Merger.

     We have also assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons and the conformity with original documents of all copies submitted to us for our examination. With your consent, our opinion is further conditioned upon the accuracy of the following assumptions on which we have relied without independent investigation: (i) that the transactions related to the Merger or contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated (A) strictly in accordance with the Merger Agreement and (B) as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; (ii) that the written statements made by executives of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company in the respective Tax Representation Letters delivered to us are true and accurate in all respects as of the date hereof and will be true and accurate in all respects as of the effective time of the Merger as if made as of the effective time of the Merger; (iii) that all representations and warranties of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company in the Merger Agreement are true and accurate in all respects as of the date hereof and will be true and accurate in all respects as of the effective time of the Merger as if made as of the effective time of the Merger; and (iv) that Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will comply fully with all covenants under the Merger Agreement and all applicable post-merger reporting requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) with respect to the Merger, and will report the Merger on their respective tax returns consistent with the opinion set forth below.
     In rendering our opinion, we have considered the applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations, pertinent judicial authorities, interpretive rulings of the Internal Revenue Service and such other authorities as we have considered relevant. It should be noted that the Code, Treasury Regulations and such judicial precedents, rulings and other authorities are subject to change at any time and, in some circumstances, with retroactive effect, and that any such changes could affect the opinions stated herein.
     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, in our opinion, the Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the discussion contained in the Prospectus under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Tax Consequences” is accurate in all material respects. We express no opinion on any issue relating to the tax consequences of the Merger other than those described above, and we are not expressing an opinion on the tax consequences of any other transaction (including other transactions undertaken in connection with the Merger).
     We assume no obligation to update or supplement this letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention with respect to the opinions expressed above, including any changes in applicable law which may hereafter occur.
     We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to all references to our firm included in or made part of such Registration Statement.
