CX5 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

Following the commencement of earthworks, the Directors of CSF are now pleased to advise that the Group has entered into the final agreement to develop its new CX5 data centre, as envisaged in its March 2010 Admission Document.

The Group has entered into a joint-venture agreement with Permodalan Nasional Berhad ("PNB") and Integrated DC Builders Sdn Bhd ("IDCB") for the development of CX5, which, when completed, is expected to be Malaysia's largest independent data centre with 201,000 net sq. ft. of data centre space. The Group has also entered into an agreement with PNB to lease and operate the completed facility. This secures substantial consulting and development revenues for the Group over the next three financial years.

(c) Phase 3 - fit out of Block C

·; The Group shall lease Blocks A, B and C respectively from PNB for a period of 10 years with an option to extend for a further 15 years. The lease of each block will commence on the same dates as the completion dates of the sale of each block by IDCB to PNB.

·; The Group has the exclusive right to secure tenants for the data centre space in Blocks A, B and C, subject to the terms of an earlier agreement entered into between the Group and IDCB in January 2010 whereby IDCB has undertaken to procure tenants for Block A.

Upon completion of all of these stages the Group will operate the entire CX5 facility and own it under a lease from PNB in the same manner as it currently owns and operates CX1 and CX2.
