Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 19, 2011, Internap Network Services Corporation (the “Company”) announced a change in leadership of its sales organization. As a result of this change, the employment of Randal R. Thompson, the Company’s former Senior Vice President of Global Sales, terminated effective October 31, 2011 (the “Separation Date”).

Pursuant to the terms of a General Release, Separation and Settlement Agreement between the Company and Mr. Thompson effective as of November 11, 2011 (the “Separation Agreement”), Mr. Thompson will receive (1) a cash payment of $235,000 to be made in 12 equal monthly installments and (2) if he so elects, continued health, dental and vision insurance coverage under the Company’s group health plan for 18 months from the Separation Date at his cost. This separation pay is consistent with the terms of the Employment Security Plan which the Company has previously disclosed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All unvested equity grants previously made to Mr. Thompson expired on his Separation Date. The Separation Agreement also provides, among other things, that Mr. Thompson will have certain non-competition, non-disclosure and non-solicitation obligations.
