女士们、先生们:

以下意见是 提供给Equinix,Inc.,一家特拉华州公司(“公司”),将提交给美国证券交易委员会。(“SEC”) 作为公司生效后修正案第1号附件8.2(以下简称“修正案”),于本协议日期提交,对 表格S—3上的注册声明(文件编号333—275203),根据经修订的1933年《证券法》(以下简称“法案”)于2023年10月27日提交(包括构成其一部分的招股说明书,并经修订 )。

We have acted as tax counsel for the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement. We have reviewed originals or copies of such corporate records, such certificates and statements of officers of the Company and of public officials, and such other documents as we have considered relevant and necessary in order to furnish the opinion hereinafter set forth. In doing so, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have reviewed: (i) the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; (ii) the Registration Statement; (iii) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”); and (iv) Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024 (the “Form 8-K”). For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that any documents (other than documents which have been executed, delivered, adopted or filed, as applicable, by the Company prior to the date hereof) that have been provided to us in draft form will be executed, delivered, adopted and filed, as applicable, without material modification.

The opinion set forth below is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Treasury regulations issued thereunder, published administrative interpretations thereof, and judicial decisions with respect thereto, all as of the date hereof (collectively, “Tax Laws”). No assurance can be given that Tax Laws will not change. In the discussions with respect to Tax Laws matters in Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K certain assumptions have been made therein and certain conditions and qualifications have been expressed therein, all of which assumptions, conditions and qualifications are incorporated herein by reference. With respect to all questions of fact on which our opinion is based, we have assumed the initial and continuing truth, accuracy and completeness of: (i) the factual information set forth in the Registration Statement, in the Form 10-K, in the Form 8-K or in any exhibits thereto or any documents incorporated therein by reference; and (ii) representations made to us by officers of the Company or contained in the Registration Statement, in the Form 10-K, in the Form 8-K or in any exhibits thereto or any documents incorporated therein by reference, in each such instance without regard to qualifications such as “to the best knowledge of” or “in the belief of”. We have not independently verified such information.
