ITEM 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 9, 2018, Internap Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement among the Company, the Lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent (the “Fourth Amendment”).  The Fourth Amendment amends the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) to lower the interest rate margins applicable to the outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement by 1.25%.

In addition, the Fourth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement such that if the Company incurs a “Repricing Event” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), before October 9, 2018, then the Company will incur a 1.0% prepayment premium on any term loans that are subject to such Repricing Event.  The Company and its subsidiaries from time to time have had, and may continue to have, various commercial, lending or other relationships with the lenders under the Credit Agreement and with affiliates of such lenders.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Fourth Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
