TERREMARK WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1.   Business and Organization
 
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Terremark” or the “Company”) is a global provider of managed IT solutions leveraging its highly connected carrier-neutral data centers across major networking hubs in the United States, Europe and Latin America. The Company delivers a comprehensive suite of managed solutions including colocation, managed hosting, managed network, disaster recovery, security and cloud computing services. Terremark serves approximately 1,300 customers worldwide across a broad range of sectors, including enterprise, government agencies, systems integrators, network service providers, internet content and portal companies and internet infrastructure companies. The Company delivers its solutions through specialized data centers, including its three primary facilities: NAP of the Americas in Miami, Florida; NAP of the Capital Region in Culpeper, Virginia outside downtown Washington, D.C.; and NAP of the Americas/West in Santa Clara, California.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. and all entities in which Terremark Worldwide, Inc. has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”) required to be consolidated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) (collectively referred to as “Terremark”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
 
Use of estimates
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Key estimates include: revenue recognition and allowance for bad debts, derivatives, income taxes, share-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, intangibles and goodwill. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that Terremark believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for judgments about results and the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
 
Revenue recognition and allowance for bad debts
 
Revenues principally consist of monthly recurring fees for colocation, exchange point, managed and professional services fees. Colocation revenues also include monthly rental income for unconditioned space in the NAP of the Americas. Revenues from colocation, exchange point services, and hosting, as well as rental income for unconditioned space, are recognized ratably over the term of the applicable contract. Installation fees and related direct costs are deferred and recognized ratably over the expected life of the customer installation which is

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

estimated to be 36 to 48 months. Managed and professional services are recognized in the period in which the services are provided. Revenues also include equipment resales which are generally recognized in the period in which the equipment is delivered, title transfers and is accepted by the customer. Revenue from contract settlements is generally recognized when collectability is reasonably assured and no remaining performance obligation exists. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to the government are excluded from revenues.
 
The Company may enter into revenue arrangements which consist of more than one element such as equipment, installation and colocation or hosting services. For these multiple deliverable arrangements, the Company allocates revenue between the elements based on acceptable fair value allocation methodologies, provided that each element meets the criteria for treatment as a separate unit of accounting. An item is considered a separate unit of accounting if it has value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. The fair value of the undelivered elements is determined by the price charged when the element is sold separately, or in cases when the item is not sold separately, by using other acceptable objective evidence. Management applies judgment to ensure appropriate application of revenue recognition for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, including the determination of whether delivered items have standalone value, and the determination of fair value for the multiple deliverables, among others. For those arrangements where the deliverables do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting, revenue from all deliverables are treated as one accounting unit and recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.
 
Significant concentrations
 
The federal sector accounted for revenues of approximately 22% and 23% for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2009, respectively. The federal sector accounted for revenues of approximately 19% and 22% for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2008, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Derivatives
 
The Company has, in the past, used financial instruments, including interest cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements, to manage exposures to movements in interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intent to reduce the risk or cost to the Company. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.
 
The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements as required under the provisions of the $250 million mortgage loan entered into on July 31, 2007. The interest rate swaps were settled on June 24, 2009. See Note 11.
 
The Company’s 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes, due June 15, 2013, (the “6.625% Senior Convertible Notes”) contain embedded derivatives that require separate valuation from the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes. The Company recognizes these derivatives as assets or liabilities in its balance sheet, measures them at their estimated fair value, and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in earnings in the period of change.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of its embedded derivatives using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company may eventually pay to settle these embedded derivatives.
 
Share-based compensation
 
The fair value of stock option and nonvested stock awards with only service conditions, which are subject to graded vesting, are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of share-based compensation expense recognized under the fair value method (windfall tax benefits) are credited to additional paid-in capital. Realized tax shortfalls are first offset against the cumulative balance of windfall tax benefits, if any, and then charged directly to income tax expense.
 
Earnings (loss) per share
 
The Company’s 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes contain contingent interest provisions that allow the holders of the Senior Convertible Notes to participate in any dividends declared on the Company’s common stock. Further, the Company’s Series I preferred stock contains participation rights that entitle the holders to receive dividends in the event the Company declares dividends on its common stock. Accordingly, the Senior Convertible Notes and the Series I preferred stock are considered participating securities.
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated as income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If the effect is dilutive, participating securities are included in the computation of basic EPS. Nonvested stock granted to employees and directors are not included in the computation of basic EPS until the security vests. The Company’s participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses in any given period. As a result, these participating securities will not be allocated any losses in the periods of net losses, but will be allocated income in the periods of net income using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amounts of dividends that must be paid for the current period. The remaining earnings are then allocated to common stock and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock and “if converted” methods for potential dilutive instruments that are convertible into common stock, as applicable.
 
Other comprehensive income (loss)
 
Other comprehensive income (loss) presents a measure of all changes in stockholders’ equity except for changes resulting from transactions with stockholders in their capacity as stockholders. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments, and is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
 
The Company’s foreign operations generally use the local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Income statement items are translated at the average rates for the year. If exchangeability between the functional currency and the U.S. dollar is temporarily lacking at the balance sheet date, the first subsequent rate at which exchanges can be made is used to translate assets and liabilities.
 
Construction in progress
 
Construction in progress is stated at its original cost and includes direct expenditures associated with the expansion of the Company’s data center footprint and upgrades to infrastructure of current data center footprint. In addition, the Company has capitalized certain interest costs during the construction phase. Once an expansion project becomes operational, these capitalized costs are allocated to certain property and equipment categories and are depreciated at the appropriate rates consistent with the estimated useful life of the underlying assets.

Fair value of financial instruments
 
The Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of capital lease obligations is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value after comparison to obligations with similar interest rates and maturities. The fair value of the Company’s redeemable preferred stock is estimated to be its liquidation value, which includes accumulated and unpaid dividends. The fair value of the Company’s secured loans (see Note 9) and convertible debt (see Note 10), which, at this time, are not actively traded in the market, are estimated by considering the Company’s credit rating, current rates available to the Company for similar debt and the Company’s stock price volatility. The fair value of secured loans and convertible debt as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009 is as follows (in thousands):

Fair value measurements
 
The Company carries various assets and liabilities at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2:  Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.


10


Table of Contents

 
TERREMARK WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
 
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs when there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
 
The table below summarizes the fair values of our financial assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

    $ 43,537     $ 44,174     $     $ (637 )
                                 
 
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the general classification of such items:
 
Money market fund instruments — these instruments are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Therefore, the instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. These money market funds are included in cash and cash equivalents.
 
Embedded derivatives — these instruments are embedded within the Company’s 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes. These instruments were valued using pricing models which incorporate the Company’s stock price, credit risk, volatility, U.S. risk free rate, transaction details such as contractual terms, maturity and amount of future cash inflows, as well as assumptions about probability and the timing of certain events taking place in the future. For a summary of the changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives, see Note 11.
 
Income taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates of future taxable income.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued accounting guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Among other requirements, the guidance clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which was previously referred to as minority interest, is to be reported as a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. The guidance also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest and to disclose those amounts on the face of the consolidated statement of income.
 
The guidance must be applied prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning in the Company’s fiscal 2010, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued guidance that amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. This guidance is

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance that establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance will be effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance that establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Company adopted this guidance during the three months ended December 31, 2009, and its adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which addresses the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. The amendments also replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, the new amendments provide more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. The amendments will become effective in the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires an entity to provide disclosures of fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. The Company has included disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value, whether recognized or not on its balance sheet, when summarized financial information for interim reporting periods is issued. The Company adopted this guidance during the three months ended September 30, 2009, and its adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately, rather than as a combined unit. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning in fiscal years on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, if any.
 
3.   Acquisitions
 
On November 12, 2009, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire the stock of DS3 Data Vaulting, L.L.C., a data management solutions provider, for a purchase price of $11.5 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, which the Company has estimated to be $0.5 million due to the sellers, as of December 31, 2009. The Company has included the estimated working capital adjustment in the preliminary purchase price allocation. The working capital adjustment is anticipated to be finalized 90 days from November 12, 2009, or February 12, 2010. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the sellers agreed to indemnify the Company for certain potential contractual obligations. In accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement, $1.5 million of the purchase price was placed into an escrow account to secure such indemnification obligations. The escrow agreement ends on May 11, 2011, at which time any remaining funds would be distributed to the sellers. This data management solutions provider delivers offsite, online data backup and restore services which enable enterprises and government agencies to rapidly and securely backup and restore files, databases and operating

On June 24, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $420.0 million of 12% Senior Secured Notes, due June 15, 2017, which are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). See Note 21. Additionally, the 12% Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, including the pledge of 100% of all outstanding capital stock of each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, excluding Terremark Federal Group, Inc. and Technology Center of the Americas, LLC, and 65% of all outstanding capital stock of substantially all of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions relating to our ability to remove the pledge with respect to certain significant subsidiaries which would otherwise result in additional audit requirements under SEC accounting rules. The 12% Senior Secured Notes were offered and sold in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in the United States in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 12% Senior Secured Notes bear interest at 12.0% per annum, payable on December 15 and June 15 of each year.
 
The loan proceeds were used to satisfy and repay all of the Company’s outstanding secured indebtedness, including (i) loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement, with a face value of $150 million, due August 15, 2012, (ii) loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, with a face value of $100 million, due February 2, 2013 and (iii) $8.4 million for the settlement of the two interest rate swap agreements that were entered into in connection with the Credit Agreements. The Company paid prepayment premiums of $2.2 million to the holders of the Second Lien Credit Agreement in connection with this financing transaction.
 
The exchange of $150 million of the First Lien Credit Agreement and $100 million of the Second Lien Credit Agreement were accounted for as an early extinguishment of debt and the 12% Senior Secured Notes were accounted for as a new debt instrument at $387.0 million, net of original issue discount of $33.0 million that includes $12.5 million in fees paid to initial purchasers of the notes. The exchange of debt instruments resulted in a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $10.3 million. The loss included $7.0 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, $2.3 million of prepayment penalties related to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, breakage fees related to the settlement of the interest rate swaps and $1.0 million of unamortized discount. In addition, the Company recorded $3.4 million of debt issuance costs related to the 12% Senior Secured Notes. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Company amortized $1.2 million of the original issue discount into interest expense. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Company amortized $0.1 million of the debt issuance costs into interest expense.

The 12% Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated June 24, 2009 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Indenture generally limit the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) make restricted payments; (ii) incur additional debt and issue preferred or disqualified stock; (iii) create liens; (iv) create or permit to exist restrictions on the Company’s ability or the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to make certain payments or distributions; (v) engage in sale-leaseback transactions; (vi) engage in mergers or consolidations or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vii) make certain dispositions and transfers of assets; and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates.
 
Any additional indebtedness permitted by the Indenture may rank pari passu with the 12% Senior Secured Notes, provided that the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio would have been at least 2.0 to 1 on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds) as if such indebtedness had been incurred at and as of the beginning of the Company’s most recently completed four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available. If there is a change of control, the Company is required to offer to repurchase all or any part of the notes in cash equal to not less than 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to the date of repurchase. Additionally, if the Company or a Guarantor sells assets, all or a portion of the net proceeds of which are not reinvested in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or are not used to repay certain debt, the Company will be required to offer to purchase an aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 12% Senior Secured Notes, in an amount equal to such remaining net proceeds, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Additional Interest (if any and as defined below), to the payment date. The Indenture provides for customary events of default.
 
At any time prior to June 15, 2012, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of 12% Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 112.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings; provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of aggregate principal amount of notes remains outstanding immediately after such redemption, and (ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering. At any time prior to June 15, 2013, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 12% Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 12% Senior Secured Notes redeemed plus an applicable “make-whole” premium (as defined in the Indenture), as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date.

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company may incur certain additional indebtedness, including up to $50 million under credit facilities that may be used for any purpose, rank pari passu with the Notes and which may be secured by parity liens on the collateral securing the Notes. Also, the Company may incur up to $75 million of additional junior indebtedness for the purpose of financing the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment, including the acquisition of the capital stock of an entity that becomes a restricted subsidiary. Any or all of such $75 million of additional indebtedness may be secured by parity liens on the collateral securing the Notes, provided that our secured leverage ratio does not exceed 3:75 to 1 on a pro-forma basis as if the Company had incurred such indebtedness at and as of the beginning of our most recently completed four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available. Irrespective of our leverage ratio, any or all of such $75 million of additional indebtedness may be secured by junior liens on the collateral securing the Notes.

In the event of a change in control, the Company will be required to commence and complete an offer to purchase all senior secured notes then outstanding at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest (if any), to the date of repurchase. Additionally, if the Company or a guarantor sell assets, all or a portion of the net proceeds of which are not reinvested in accordance with the terms of the indenture or are not used to repay certain debt, the Company will be required to offer to purchase an aggregate principal amount of the outstanding senior secured notes, in an amount equal to such remaining net proceeds, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any and as defined below, to the payment date.
 
The 12% Senior Secured Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be sold except in a transaction registered under, or exempt from, the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. On the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors have agreed for the benefit of the holders of the 12% Senior Secured Notes to use their best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and cause to become effective a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Notes and the Guarantees thereof for an issue of the Company’s senior secured notes (the “Exchange Notes”) guaranteed by the Guarantors (the “Exchange Note Guarantees” and, together with the Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Securities”) with terms identical to the 12% Senior Secured Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will not bear legends restricting transfer and will not contain terms providing for the payment of additional interest as described below and in the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to file, in certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the Securities. If the exchange offer for the 12% Senior Secured Notes is not completed on or prior to January 20, 2010, the applicable interest rate will increase by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period thereafter, and the amount of such additional interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum over the original interest rate (“Additional Interest”).
 
Additional interest will also become payable if any of the following occurs: (i) our failure to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement on or prior to September 22, 2009; (ii) our failure to file with the Commission a shelf registration statement on or prior to the 30th day following the occurrence of an event requiring that we file a shelf registration statement; (iii) if on or prior to December 21, 2009, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor a shelf registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission; (iv) if on or prior to January 20, 2010 a shelf registration statement, if required in lieu of Exchange Offer Registration Statement, has not been declared effective by the Commission; or (v) if either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a shelf registration statement that has been declared effective ceases to be effective. The Company has not yet filed the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and accordingly is accruing this additional interest. As of February 10, 2010, the Company has incurred $0.9 million in additional interest. Under the terms of the senior secured notes, the Company was required to pay to the holders approximately $245,000 of this additional interest when it paid the scheduled interest payment payable on December 15, 2009. The Company did not make this payment of additional interest at this time. The Company has since paid the additional interest and is in compliance with the terms of the senior secured notes.
 
The proceeds received from the issuance of the senior secured notes were used to repay term loan financing arrangements under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement described above.
 
In connection with the repayment of the obligations under the Credit Agreements, the Company settled interest rate swap agreements that had served as an economic hedge against increases in interest rates and were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. See Note 11.

    December 31,

    2009     2009  
 
Convertible debt consists of (in thousands):
               
6.625% Senior Convertible Notes, due June 15, 2013, and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $12.50 per share. Interest at 6.625% is payable semi-annually, on December 15 and June 15 (Effective interest rate of 6.6%)
  $ 57,192     $ 57,192  
9% Senior Convertible Notes, due June 15, 2009, and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $12.50 per share. Interest at 9% was payable semi-annually, on December 15 and June 15 (Effective interest rate of 26.5%)
          28,268  
0.5% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes, due June 30, 2009, and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $8.14 per share. Interest at 0.5% was payable semi-annually, on December 1 and June 30 (Effective interest rate of 0.72%)

On June 15, 2009, all outstanding obligations related to the Company’s 0.5% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes, (the “Series B Notes”) with a face value of $4.0 million, held by Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch and Credit Suisse, International, were satisfied and repaid as the Series B Notes became due. On the date of the transaction, the Company paid $4.1 million to the holders which represented the principal amount, payment in kind and any unpaid or accrued interest. On June 15, 2009, all outstanding obligations related to 9% Senior Convertible Notes with a face value of $29.1 million were satisfied and repaid as the notes became due. On the date of the transaction, the Company paid $30.4 million to the holders which represented $29.1 million of principal and $1.3 million of unpaid interest. The 9% Senior Convertible Notes were unsecured obligations and ranked pari passu with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and ranked junior to any future secured indebtedness.
 
On May 2, 2007, the Company completed a private exchange offer of its 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes with a limited number of holders for $57.2 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 9% Senior Convertible Notes in exchange for an equal aggregate principal amount of the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes. After completion of the private exchange offer, only $29.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Senior Convertible Notes remained outstanding under the global note and indenture governing the 9% Senior Convertible Notes which notes were eventually repaid on June 15, 2009 as described above. The Company accounted for the exchange of $57.2 million of the 9% Senior Convertible Notes as an early extinguishment of debt and the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes were accounted for as new debt instruments and recorded at $57.2 million on the date of the transaction. The exchange of the 9% Senior Convertible Notes with the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes resulted in a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $18.5 million. The loss included $2.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, $13.3 million of the unamortized discount on the 9% Senior Convertible Notes and the write off of $10.8 million of the derivative liability associated with the 9% Senior Convertible Notes that was bifurcated and accounted for separately. In addition, the exchange resulted in a substantial premium of $13.7 million associated with the fair value of the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes that was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

Market data was used in the option pricing model to determine the volatility of the stock price of the Company, the interest rate term structure, the volatility of the interest rate and the correlation between the interest rate and the stock price.
 
The 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations and rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and rank junior to any future secured indebtedness. If there is a change in control, the holders of the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If a holder surrenders notes for conversion at any time beginning on the effective notice of a change in control in which 10% or more of the consideration for the Company’s common stock consists of cash, the Company will increase the number of shares issuable upon such conversion by an amount not to exceed 5,085,513 additional shares. The number of additional shares is based on the date on which the partial cash buy-out becomes effective and the price paid or deemed to be paid per share of the Company’s common stock in the change of control. If the Company issues a cash dividend on its common stock, it must pay contingent interest to the holders of the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes equal to the product of the per share cash dividend and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes.
 
11.   Derivatives
 
The Company’s 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes contain two embedded derivatives that require separate valuation from the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes: an equity participation right and a contingent put upon change in control.
 
The Company’s 9% Senior Convertible Notes contained three embedded derivatives that required separate valuation from the 9% Senior Convertible Notes: a conversion option that included an early conversion incentive, an equity participation right and a takeover make whole premium due upon a change in control. The early conversion incentive expired on June 14, 2007. The Company determined that with the expiration of the early conversion incentive on June 14, 2007, the conversion feature no longer met the conditions that would require separate accounting as a derivative.
 
The Company’s Series B Notes contained one embedded derivative that required separate valuation from the Series B Notes: a call option which provided the Company with the option to redeem the Series B Notes at fixed redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest and plus any difference in the fair value of the conversion feature.
 
The Company has estimated that the embedded derivatives within the 9% Senior Convertible Notes, the Series B Notes and the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes amounted in the aggregate to a net liability of $0.2 million at March 31, 2009. The resulting loss of $0.3 million and income of $0.2 million was included in the change in the fair value of derivatives in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2008, respectively. In connection with the repayment of the 9% Senior Convertible Notes and the Series B Notes on their respective due dates, each of the embedded derivatives within these instruments was cancelled. As of December 31, 2009, the only remaining outstanding embedded derivatives were related to the 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes, which amounted in the aggregate to a liability of $0.3 million at June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009 and $0.6 million at December 31, 2009. The resulting loss of $0.4 and $0.5 million was included in the change in the fair value of derivatives in the nine and three months ended December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
On February 8, 2008, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements as required under the provisions of the Credit Agreements discussed in Note 9. One of the interest rate swap agreements was effective March 31, 2008 for a notional amount of $148 million and a fixed interest rate of 2.999%. Interest payments on this instrument are due on the last day of each March, June, September and December, ending on December 31, 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
 
The second interest rate swap agreement entered into was effective on July 31, 2008 for a notional amount of $102.0 million and a fixed interest rate of 3.067%. Interest payments on this instrument were due on the last day of each January, April, July and October, ending on January 31, 2011. The interest rate swap agreements served as an economic hedge against increases in interest rates and had not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company accounted for these interest rate swap agreements on a fair value basis and adjusts these instruments to fair value and the resulting changes in fair value are charged to earnings. At March 31, 2009, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was a liability of $6.1 million.
 
In connection with the repayment of the Credit Agreements on June 24, 2009, the interest rate swap agreements were unwound and settled for $8.4 million payable to the holders. The Company recorded $1.3 million for the change in the fair value of derivatives prior to June 24, 2009 and $0.9 million of interest expense related to the interest rate swap agreements in the nine months ended December 31, 2009.

13.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
In the ordinary course of conducting business, the Company becomes involved in various legal actions and claims. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the Company may be unable to accurately predict the outcome of such matters, some of which could be decided unfavorably to it. The Company’s participation in government contracts subjects the Company to inquiries, investigations and subpoenas regarding business with the federal government. Improper or illegal activities may subject the Company to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. Management does not believe the ultimate outcome of pending matters of the nature described above would be material.
 
14.   Changes in Stockholders’ Equity
 
Issuance of Common stock
 
On May 29, 2009, the Company in a private transaction, issued to VMware Bermuda Limited (“VMware”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of VMware, Inc., four million shares of its common stock, valued at $19.9 million, net of issuance costs. The governing subscription agreement grants to VMware a right of first refusal with respect to certain future equity sales by the Company that occur within the 18-month period following the closing of the VMware purchase. If such equity sales are proposed to be made to a competitor of VMware or certain affiliates, VMware may elect to purchase such equity in lieu of the competitor. If such equity sales are proposed to be made to

a non-competitor of VMware, VMware will not have the ability to prevent such sale but will have the right to elect to purchase an additional amount of equity sufficient to maintain its initial equity percentage interest in the Company.
 
During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 1,168 shares of its common stock to certain employees valued at $2.3 million to settle share-based awards. Issued shares were net of shares surrendered to satisfy the employees’ withholding tax liability.

In anticipation of the Guarantor Subsidiaries being guarantors of debt securities that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, below are certain consolidating financial statements of the Company, the

Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. In lieu of providing separate unaudited financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X are presented below. The column marked “Issuer” includes the results of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (the “Parent Company”). The column marked “Guarantor Subsidiaries” includes the results of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, which consists of all domestic subsidiaries. The column marked “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries” includes results of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, which consists primarily of foreign subsidiaries. Eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis for the periods presented are included in the column so labeled and consist primarily of certain intercompany payments between the Parent Company and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that they are not material to investors.
 
The following represents the supplemental unaudited condensed financial statements of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 based on our current expectations, assumptions, and estimates about us and our industry. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, projected levels of growth, projected costs and projected financing needs, are forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of several important factors including, without limitation, that we may be further impacted by slowdowns, postponements or cancellations in our client’s businesses or deterioration in the financial condition of our clients, a history of losses, competitive factors, uncertainties inherent in government contracting, inquiries and investigations conducted by government agencies with respect to our government contracts, concentration of business with a small number of clients, the ability to service debt, substantial leverage, material weaknesses in our internal controls and our disclosure controls, energy costs, the interest rate environment, failure to successfully implement expansion plans or integrate acquired businesses into our operations, one-time events and other factors more fully described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. The forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we do not plan and assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein after the date of this report, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Our Business
 
We are a global provider of managed IT solutions with data centers in the United States, Europe and Latin America. We provide carrier neutral colocation, managed services and exchange point services to approximately 1,300 customers worldwide across a broad range of sectors, including enterprises, government agencies, systems integrators, Internet content and portal companies and the world’s largest network providers. We house and manage our customers’ mission-critical IT infrastructure, enabling our customers to reduce capital and operational expenses while improving application performance, availability and security. As a result of our expertise and our full suite of product offerings, customers find it more cost effective and secure to contract us rather than hire dedicated IT staff. Furthermore, as a carrier neutral provider we have more than 160 competing carriers connected to our data centers enabling our customers to realize significant cost savings and easily scale their network requirements to meet their growth. We continue to see an increase in outsourcing as customers face escalating operating and capital expenditures and increased technical demands associated with their IT infrastructure.
 
We deliver our solutions primarily through three highly specialized data centers, or Network Access Points (NAPs) that were purpose-built and have been strategically located to enable us to become one of the industry leaders in terms of reliability, power availability and connectivity. Our owned NAP of the Americas facility, located in Miami, Florida, is one of the most interconnected data centers in the world and is a primary exchange point for high levels of traffic between the United States, Europe and Latin America; our owned NAP of the Capital Region, or NCR, located outside Washington, D.C., has been designed to address the specific security and connectivity needs of our federal customers; and our leased NAP of the Americas/West, located in Santa Clara, California, is strategically located in Silicon Valley to serve the technology and Internet content provider segments as well as provide access to connectivity to the U.S. west coast, Asia, Pacific Rim and other international locations. Each facility offers our customers access to carrier neutral connectivity as well as technologically advanced security, reliability and redundancy through 100% service level agreements, or SLAs, which means that we agree to provide 100% uptime for all of our customers’ IT equipment contained in our facilities. Our facilities and our IT platform can be expanded on a cost effective basis to meet growing customer demand.

Our primary products and services include colocation, managed services and exchange point services.
 
  •  Colocation Services:  We provide customers with the space, power and a secure environment to deploy their own computing, network, storage and IT infrastructure.
 
  •  Managed Services:  We design, deploy, operate, monitor and manage our clients’ IT infrastructure at our facilities.
 
  •  Exchange Point Services:  We enable our customers to exchange Internet and other data traffic through direct connection with each other or through peering connections with multiple parties.
 
Our business is characterized by long term contracts, which provide for monthly recurring revenue from a diversified customer base. Our customer contracts are generally three years in duration and our average quarterly revenue churn rate for the past four quarters has been approximately 2%, which we believe is a reflection of the value of our integrated technology solutions and our ability to deliver the highest quality service. As an illustration of this principle, for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, approximately 90% of our overall revenue was recurring and over 70% of our new bookings were derived from existing customers.
 
Our principal executive office is located at 2 South Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 2800, Miami, Florida 33131. Our telephone number is (305) 856-3200.
 
Recent Events
 
On November 12, 2009, we acquired a data management solutions company for a purchase price of $11.5 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, which the Company has estimated to be $0.5 million due to the seller, as of December 31, 2009. This data management solutions company provides customers with offsite, online data backup and restore services which enable enterprises and government agencies to rapidly and securely backup and restore files, databases and operating systems. The working capital adjustment is anticipated to be finalized on February 12, 2010. The acquisition of this data storage provider enhances our overall data storage offering and helps us accelerate the development of our solutions in the area of managed storage. We also expect to realize cost synergies by relocating this data storage provider’s infrastructure to our data centers and eliminating the need to outsource some of our data storage services.

The $8.4 million, or 13% increase in revenues is mainly due to both an increase in our deployed customer base and an expansion of services to existing customers. Our deployed customer base increased to approximately 1,300 customers as of December 31, 2009 from 1,090 customers as of December 31, 2008. Revenues consist of:
 
  •  colocation services, such as licensing of space and provision of power;
 
  •  managed and professional services, such as network management, managed web hosting, outsourced network operating center services, network monitoring, procurement of connectivity, managed router services, secure information services, technical support and consulting;
 
  •  exchange point services, such as peering and cross connects; and
 
  •  procurement and installation of equipment.
 
The $5.6 million, or 25% increase in colocation revenue is primarily the result of an increase in our utilization of total net colocation space to 29.6% as of December 31, 2009 from 23.7% as of December 31, 2008. Our utilization of total net colocation space represents space billed to customers as a percentage of total space built-out and available to customers. For comparative purposes, space added during the three months ended December 31, 2009 was assumed to be also available as of December 31, 2008.
 
The $2.0 million, or 5% increase in managed and professional services revenue is primarily the result of an increase in orders from both existing and new customers as reflected by the growth in our customer base and utilization of space, as discussed above.
 
The $0.7 million, or 18% increase in exchange point services revenue is mainly due to an increase in cross-connects billed to customers. Cross-connects billed to customers increased to 8,883 as of December 31, 2009 from 7,857 as of December 31, 2008.
 
Revenues from equipment resales may fluctuate quarter over quarter based on customer demand.
 
We anticipate an increase in revenue from colocation, exchange point and managed services as we add more customers to our network of NAPs, sell additional services to existing customers and introduce new products and services. We anticipate that the percentage of revenue derived from public sector customers will fluctuate depending on the timing of exercise of expansion options under existing contracts and the rate at which we sell services to the public sector. We believe that public sector revenues will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future.
 
Costs of Revenues.  Costs of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $7.7 million, or 22%, to $41.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $34.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, consist primarily of operations personnel, fees to third party service providers, procurement of connectivity and equipment, technical and colocation space rental costs, electricity, chilled water, insurance, property taxes, and security services. The increase is mainly due to $1.8 million in equipment procurement costs, $2.8 million in colocation space and utility costs, $1.1 million in connectivity procurement costs and $1.0 million in personnel costs.
 
The $2.8 million increase in colocation space and utility costs is primarily the result of the opening of our new facility in Colombia and additional new colocation space in Miami, Florida, Culpeper, Virginia and Sao Paulo, Brazil. The $1.1 million increase in connectivity procurement costs is in line with increase in revenues from managed and exchange point services. The $1.0 million increase in personnel costs is mainly due to operations and engineering staffing levels increasing from 521 employees as of December 31, 2008 to 564 employees as of December 31, 2009, which is mainly attributable to the increase in managed services revenue and the increase in the utilization of our colocation space due to expansion of operations in California, Brazil and Colombia.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased less than $0.1 million, or less than 1%, to $8.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $8.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative personnel, professional service fees, rent and other general corporate expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain steady on a quarterly basis for the foreseeable future.

Sales and Marketing Expenses.  Sales and marketing expense increased less than $0.1 million, or less than 1%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008. We expect sales and marketing expenses to remain steady on a quarterly basis for the foreseeable future.
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.2 million, or 29% to $9.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase is the result of capital expenditures mostly related to the expansion of our data center footprint and upgrades to the infrastructure of our current footprint.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $5.5 million, or 67%, to $13.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $8.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. This increase is due to an increase in our average outstanding debt balance during the period offset by a decrease in the amount of interest being capitalized. On June 24, 2009, we issued senior secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $420 million. A portion of the loan proceeds were used to repay our first lien and second lien credit agreements, which had a face value of $150 million and $100 million, respectively. In addition, we repaid our 9% Senior Convertible Debt and Series B notes, which had a face value of $29.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
 
Other.  For the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded $0.1 million of other income and $0.5 million of other expense, which was primarily attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency during the periods.

The $28.3 million, or 16% increase in revenues is mainly due to both an increase in our deployed customer base and an expansion of services to existing customers. Our deployed customer base increased to approximately 1,300 customers as of December 31, 2009 from 1,090 customers as of December 31, 2008. Revenues consist of:
 
  •  colocation services, such as licensing of space and provision of power;
 
  •  managed and professional services, such as network management, managed web hosting, outsourced network operating center services, network monitoring, procurement of connectivity, managed router services, secure information services, technical support and consulting;
 
  •  exchange point services, such as peering and cross connects; and
 
  •  procurement and installation of equipment.

The $20.6 million, or 34% increase in colocation revenue is primarily the result of an increase in our utilization of total net colocation space to 29.6% as of December 31, 2009 from 23.7% as of December 31, 2008. Our utilization of total net colocation space represents space billed to customers as a percentage of total space built-out and available to customers. For comparative purposes, space added during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 was assumed to be also available as of December 31, 2008.
 
The $7.3 million, or 7% increase in managed and professional services revenue is primarily the result of an increase in orders from both existing and new customers as reflected by the growth in our customer base and utilization of space, as discussed above.
 
The $2.1 million, or 18% increase in exchange point services revenue is mainly due to an increase in cross-connects billed to customers. Cross-connects billed to customers increased to 8,883 as of December 31, 2009 from 7,857 as of December 31, 2008.
 
Revenues from equipment resales may fluctuate quarter over quarter based on customer demand.
 
We believe revenues from colocation, exchange point and managed services will increase as we add more customers to our network of NAPs, sell additional services to existing customers and introduce new products and services. We believe that the percentage of revenue derived from public sector customers will fluctuate depending on the timing of exercise of expansion options under existing contracts and the rate at which we sell services to the public sector. We believe that public sector revenues will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future.
 
Costs of Revenues.  Costs of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased $16.9 million, or 17% to $118.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 from $101.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Costs of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, consist primarily of operations personnel, fees to third party service providers, procurement of connectivity and equipment, technical and colocation space rental costs, electricity, chilled water, insurance, property taxes and security services. The increase is mainly due to increases of $5.9 million in connectivity procurement costs, $5.7 million in colocation space and utility costs, $2.5 million in personnel costs and $1.3 million in equipment procurement costs.
 
The $5.9 million increase in connectivity procurement costs is in line with an increase in revenues from managed and exchange point services. The $5.7 million increase in colocation space and utility costs is primarily the result of the opening of our new facility in Bogota, Colombia and additional new colocation space in Miami, Florida, Culpeper, Virginia and Sao Paulo, Brazil. The $2.5 million increase in personnel costs is mainly due to operations and engineering staffing levels increasing from 521 employees as of December 31, 2008 to 564 employees as of December 31, 2009, which is attributable to the increase in managed services revenues and an increase in the utilization of our colocation space due to expansion of operations in Santa Clara, California, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Bogota, Colombia.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 11%, to $25.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 from $28.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to a decrease in one-time professional fees of $1.0 million, administrative personnel costs of $0.9 million and other costs of $0.5 million. The decrease in professional fees of $1.0 million relate to one-time costs incurred as a result of an evaluation of strategic alternatives by our Board of Directors in the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Personnel costs include payroll and share-based compensation. The $0.9 million decrease in administrative personnel is the result of $0.2 million decrease in share-based compensation and a decrease in headcount from 158 employees as of December 31, 2008 to 152 employees as of December 31, 2009. The decrease in other costs of $0.5 million is the result of closely monitoring our spending.
 
Sales and Marketing Expenses.  Sales and marketing expense decreased less than $0.1 million, or less than 1%, to $19.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 from $19.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.4 million, or 37%, to $27.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 from $20.1 million for the nine months ended

December 31, 2008. The increase is the result of capital expenditures mostly related to the expansion of our data center footprint and upgrades to the infrastructure of our current footprint.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $14.8 million, or 68%, to $36.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 from $21.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This increase is mainly due to an increase in our average outstanding debt balance during the period. On June 24, 2009, we issued senior secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $420 million. A portion of the loan proceeds were used to repay our first lien and second lien credit agreements, which had a face value of $150 million and $100 million, respectively. In addition, we repaid our 9% Senior Convertible Notes and our Series B Notes, which had a face value of $29.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
 
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we incurred a non-cash loss on the early extinguishment of our first lien and second lien credit agreements of $10.3 million.
 
Change in Fair Value of Derivatives.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we recognized a loss of $1.8 million, as compared to a loss of $4.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, due to the changes in the fair values of our derivatives which was mainly related to our two interest rate swap agreements that became effective February 2008 (first lien) and July 2008 (second lien). The interest rate swap agreements were settled in connection with the repayment of the credit agreements on June 24, 2009 for $8.4 million payable to the holders.
 
Interest Income.  Interest income decreased $0.9 million, or 75%, to $0.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 from $1.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This decrease is the result of lower interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents account balances for the period.
 
Other.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded $0.8 million of other income and $0.7 million of other expense, which was primarily attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency during the periods.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2009, our principal source of liquidity was our $59.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and our $41.9 million in accounts receivable. We anticipate that we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fund our capital expenditures and debt service in connection with our currently identified business objectives.
 
In addition, under the indenture governing our 12% senior secured notes, we may incur additional indebtedness, including up to $50 million of additional senior indebtedness under credit facilities that may be used for any purpose and up to $75 million of additional junior indebtedness for the purpose of financing the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment, including the acquisition of the capital stock of an entity that becomes a restricted subsidiary.
 
Furthermore, we may incur further indebtedness to the extent that our fixed charge coverage ratio would have been at least 2.0 to 1 on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds from this additional indebtedness) as if this indebtedness had been incurred at and as of the beginning of our most recently completed four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available.
 
We anticipate capital expenditures for fiscal year 2010 of approximately $95.0 to $100.0 million, with $46.0 million related to the completion of the second phase of our NCR data center campus in Culpeper, Virginia, $26.0 million to upgrade our technology and service delivery platforms, and $23.0 million to expand our footprint in Santa Clara, California and Sao Paulo, Brazil and upgrade our infrastructure in Miami, Florida. We have incurred capital expenditures of $76.9 million through nine months ended December 31, 2009.
 
In fiscal year 2011 we anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $65.0 to $70.0 million, with $24.0 million related to the completion of the second phase of our NCR data center campus in Culpeper, Virginia, $20.0 million to upgrade our technology and service delivery platforms and $21.0 million to expand our footprint in Santa Clara, California and Sao Paulo, Brazil and upgrade our infrastructure in Miami, Florida.

Table of Contents

Our projected revenues and cash flows depend on several factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the rate at which we provide services, the timing of exercise of expansion options by customers under existing contracts, the rate at which new services are sold to the federal sector and the commercial sector, the ability to retain the customer base, the willingness and timing of potential customers in outsourcing the housing and management of their technology infrastructure to us, the reliability and cost-effectiveness of our services and our ability to market our services. Besides our cash on hand and any financing activities we may pursue, customer collections are our primary source of cash. While we believe we have a strong customer base and have experienced strong collections in the past, if the current market conditions continue to deteriorate we may experience increased churn in our customer base, including reductions in their commitments to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.
 
Sources and Uses of Cash
 
Cash used in operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 was $14.2 million as compared to cash provided by operations of $39.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in cash used in operations is mainly due to timing of debt service payments, vendor payments and collections from customers, as well as the settlement of our interest rate swap agreements.
 
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 was $88.3 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $85.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This increase is the result of higher capital expenditures mostly related to the completion of our NCR data center campus in Culpeper, Virginia, upgrades to our technology and service delivery platforms, upgrades to our infrastructure in Miami, Florida and the expansion of our footprint in Santa Clara, California.
 
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 was $109.3 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $3.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $112.7 million. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to the proceeds received from our $420 million 12% Senior Secured Notes and the issuance of four million shares of our common stock for approximately $20.0 million. These proceeds were offset by the $290.9 million in repayments of the First Lien and Second Lien Credit Agreements, 9% Senior Convertible Debt and Series B Notes.
 
Debt Obligations
 
12% Senior Secured Notes
 
On June 24, 2009, we completed an offering of $420 million aggregate principal amount of 12% senior secured notes due in 2017, which are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Additionally, the senior secured notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. and the guarantors, including the pledge of 100% of all outstanding capital stock of each of our domestic subsidiaries, excluding Terremark Federal Group, Inc. and Technology Center of the Americas, LLC, and 65% of all outstanding capital stock of substantially all our foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions relating to our ability to remove the pledge with respect to certain significant subsidiaries which would otherwise result in additional audit requirements under SEC accounting rules. The senior secured notes were offered and sold in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in the United States in reliance on Rule 144A under the securities act and outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the securities act.
 
The senior secured notes bear interest at 12% per annum, payable on December 15 and June 15 of each year.
 
The senior secured notes are governed by an indenture, dated June 24, 2009, among Terremark Worldwide, Inc., the guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
 
The senior secured notes are our general secured obligations, secured by first-priority liens on the collateral securing the senior secured notes and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior secured indebtedness that is secured on an equal basis with the senior secured notes.
 
At any time prior to June 15, 2012, we may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes at a redemption price equal to 112% of the principal amount thereof,

plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, with the net cash proceeds of certain sales of our capital stock; provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes remains outstanding immediately after such redemption, and (ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such sale of our capital stock.
 
At any time prior to June 15, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the senior secured notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior secured notes redeemed plus an applicable “make-whole” premium (as defined in the indenture), as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.
 
Additionally, on or after June 15, 2013, we may redeem all or a part of the senior secured notes on any one or more occasions, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the notes to be redeemed) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior secured notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 15 of each of the years indicated below:

The terms of the indenture generally limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) make restricted payments; (ii) incur additional debt and issue preferred or disqualified stock; (iii) create liens; (iv) create or permit to exist restrictions on our ability or the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make certain payments or distributions; (v) engage in sale-leaseback transactions; (vi) engage in mergers or consolidations or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; (vii) make certain dispositions and transfers of assets; and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. Following the first day that the senior secured notes are assigned an investment grade rating by both Moody’s and S&P, and provided that no default has occurred and is continuing, certain of the restrictions will be suspended, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates and certain restrictions on mergers, consolidations and sales of assets.
 
Under the terms of the governing indenture, we may incur additional indebtedness, including up to $50 million of senior indebtedness under credit facilities that may be used for any purpose, rank pari passu with the senior secured notes and which may be secured by parity liens on the collateral securing the senior secured notes. Also, we may incur up to $75 million of additional junior indebtedness for the purpose of financing the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment, including the acquisition of the capital stock of an entity that becomes a restricted subsidiary. Any or all of this $75 million of additional indebtedness may be secured by parity liens on the collateral securing the senior secured notes, provided that our secured leverage ratio does not exceed 3:75 to 1 on a pro-forma basis as if we had incurred such indebtedness at and as of the beginning of our most recently completed four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available. Irrespective of our leverage ratio, any or all of this $75 million of additional indebtedness may be secured by junior liens on the collateral securing the senior secured notes.
 
Any additional indebtedness permitted by the governing indenture may rank pari passu with the senior secured notes, provided that our fixed charge coverage ratio would have been at least 2.0 to 1 on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds from this additional indebtedness) as if the indebtedness had been incurred at and as of the beginning of our most recently completed four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available.
 
In the event of a change in control, we will be required to commence and complete an offer to purchase all senior secured notes then outstanding at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest (if any), to the date of repurchase. Additionally, if we or a guarantor sell assets, all or a portion of the net proceeds of which are not reinvested in accordance with the terms of the indenture or are not used to repay certain debt, we will be required to offer to purchase an aggregate principal amount of the outstanding senior secured notes, in an amount equal to such remaining net proceeds, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any and as defined below, to the payment date.

Table of Contents

The indenture provides for customary events of default, which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or other agreements in the indenture; defaults under or failure to pay certain other indebtedness; the failure by us or our restricted subsidiaries to pay certain final non-appealable judgments; the failure of certain security interests in the collateral securing the senior secured notes to be in full force and effect; the failure in certain instances of any guarantee to be in full force and effect; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the indenture, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes then outstanding may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the senior secured notes immediately due and payable.
 
The senior secured notes have not been registered under the securities act or any state securities laws and may not be sold except in a transaction registered under, or exempt from, the registration provisions of the securities act and applicable state securities laws. Under the terms of a registration rights agreement, Terremark and the guarantors have agreed for the benefit of the holders of the senior secured notes to use their best efforts to file with the SEC and cause to become effective a registration statement, or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Exchange Offer Registration Statement would relate to a registered offer to exchange the senior secured notes for an issue of our senior secured notes, or the Exchange Notes, guaranteed by the guarantors, with terms identical to the senior secured notes, except that the Exchange Notes will not bear legends restricting transfer and will not contain terms providing for the payment of additional interest as described below and in the registration rights agreement. In addition, we have agreed to file, in certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the senior secured notes.
 
If the exchange offer for the senior secured notes is not completed on or prior to January 20, 2010, the interest rate on the senior secured notes will increase by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period thereafter, and the amount of such additional interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum over the original interest rate on the senior secured notes. We refer to this increase in the applicable interest rate as additional interest.
 
Additional interest will also become payable if any of the following occurs: (i) our failure to file with the SEC the Exchange Offer Registration Statement on or prior to September 22, 2009; (ii) our failure to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on or prior to the 30th day following the occurrence of an event requiring that we file a shelf registration statement; (iii) if on or prior to December 21, 2009, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor a shelf registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC; (iv) if on or prior to January 20, 2010 a shelf registration statement, if required in lieu of Exchange Offer Registration Statement, has not been declared effective by the SEC; or (v) if either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a shelf registration statement that has been declared effective ceases to be effective. Additional interest shall cease to accrue and become payable: (i) following our cure of any of the foregoing conditions, as applicable; (ii) on any Exchange Securities; (iii) on Securities that cease to be outstanding; or (iv) after the Securities (x) become freely transferable without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by persons that are not our affiliates (provided that the one-year holding period specified by Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) has been satisfied), (y) do not bear any restrictive legends and (z) do not bear a restrictive CUSIP number. We were required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by September 22, 2009 or have the applicable interest rate increase by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period thereafter with the amount of additional interest increasing further by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum over the original interest. We have not yet filed this registration statement and, accordingly, we are accruing this additional interest. As of February 9, 2010, we have incurred $0.9 million in additional interest. Under the terms of the senior secured notes, we were required to pay to the holders approximately $245,000 of this additional interest when we paid the scheduled interest payment payable on December 15, 2009. We did not make this payment of additional interest at this time. We have since paid the additional interest and are in compliance with the terms of the senior secured notes.
 
We used a portion of the net proceeds received from the issuance of the senior secured notes to repay in full all amounts outstanding under our $150 million first lien credit agreement and our $100 million second lien credit agreement, together with all interest accrued thereon. Upon effecting this repayment, each of these credit agreements was terminated. Also terminated were the security documents and instruments related to the credit agreements.

Table of Contents

In connection with the repayment, we paid a 2% call premium in an amount equal to approximately $2.2 million in respect of the amounts outstanding under the second lien credit agreement. Additionally, we paid approximately $8.4 million in connection with the termination of certain interest rate swap agreements that we had entered into in connection with the credit agreements.
 
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
 
On June 24, 2009, in connection with the offering of the 12% Senior Secured Notes, we repaid all the outstanding obligations related to our first lien and second lien credit agreements. On the date of the transaction, we paid $261.0 million to the lenders under these facilities which represented the principal amount, payment in kind and any unpaid or accrued interest. See “12% Senior Secured Notes” above.
 
6.625% Senior Convertible Notes
 
On May 2, 2007, we completed a private exchange offer of $57.2 million of newly issued 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2013 (the “New Notes”) in exchange for an equal aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9% Senior Convertible Notes due 2009 (the “Outstanding Notes”). As of the date of this report no amount of the Outstanding Notes remain outstanding.
 
The notes bear interest at a rate of 6.625% per annum, payable semi-annually, on each December 15 and June 15 and are convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the holders at $12.50 per share. The notes rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and effectively rank junior to any secured indebtedness.
 
If there is a change in control, the holders of the 6.625% senior convertible notes have the right to require us to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If we issue a cash dividend on our common stock, we will pay contingent interest to the holders equal to the product of the per share cash dividend and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each holder’s note.
 
The New Notes provide for a make whole premium payable upon conversions occurring in connection with a change in control in which at least 10% or more of the consideration is cash, which can result in our issuing up to 5,085,513 additional shares of our common stock upon such conversions.
 
Debt Covenants
 
The provisions of our debt contain a number of covenants that limit or restrict our ability to incur more debt or liens, pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets or use asset sale proceeds, make acquisitions or investments, enter into hedging activities, make capital expenditures and repurchase stock, subject to financial measures and other conditions. Our ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens and make certain restricted payments and investments depend on our ability to achieve the financial ratios provided in the indenture governing our senior secured notes. See Note 9 “Secured Loans,” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Our failure to comply with the obligations in the senior secured notes could result in an event of default under the indenture governing the notes, which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of the indebtedness or other indebtedness which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, cash flows and results of operations.
 
Guarantees and Commitments
 
We lease space for our operations, office equipment and furniture under non-cancelable operating leases. Some equipment is also leased under capital leases, which are included in leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
At December 31, 2009, our exposure to market risk related primarily to changes in interest rates on our investment portfolio. Our marketable investments consist primarily of short-term fixed interest rate securities. We invest only with high credit quality issuers, and we do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We do not believe that a significant increase or decrease in interest rates would have a material impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio.
 
We have not entered into any financial instruments for trading purposes. However, the estimated fair value of the derivatives embedded within our 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes create a market risk exposure resulting from changes in the price of our common stock, interest rates and our credit rating. We do not expect in the near term significant changes in the two-year historical volatility of our common stock used to calculate the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. We do not expect the change in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivative to significantly affect our results of operations, and it will not impact our cash flows.
 
Our 12% Senior Secured Notes and 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes have fixed interest rates and, accordingly, we are not exposed to market risk or those instruments resulting from changes in interest rates. However, the fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. These interest rate changes may affect the fair market value of the fixed interest rate debt but do not impact our earnings or cash flows.
 
Our carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable approximations of their fair value.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, approximately 86% of our recognized revenue has been denominated in U.S. dollars, generated mostly from customers in the U.S., and our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations has been minimal. In the future, a larger portion of our revenues may be derived from operations outside of the U.S. and may be denominated in foreign currency. As a result, future operating results or cash flows could be impacted due to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Furthermore, to the extent we engage in international sales that are denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our services less competitive in the international markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations and, when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we cannot conclude that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial results in the future.

Some of our operating costs are subject to price fluctuations caused by the volatility of underlying commodity prices. The commodity most likely to have an impact on our results of operations in the event of significant price change is electricity. We are closely monitoring the cost of electricity. To the extent that electricity costs rise, we have the ability to pass these additional power costs onto our customers that utilize this power. We do not employ forward contracts or other financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk.
 
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, Terremark carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Terremark’s management, including Terremark’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Terremark’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at December 31, 2009, Terremark’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports Terremark files and submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
 
(b)   Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in various legal actions and claims. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and we may be unable to accurately predict the outcome of such matters, some of which could be decided unfavorably to us. Our participation in government contracts subjects us to inquiries, investigations and subpoenas regarding our business with the federal government. Improper or illegal activities may subject us to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. Management does not believe the ultimate outcome of the pending matter of the nature described above would be material.
 
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS.
 
You should carefully consider the following risks and all other information contained in this report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business along with the consolidated financial conditions and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently believe may materially affect our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business operations.
 
We have incurred substantial losses in the past and expect to continue to incur additional losses in the future, which may reduce our ability to raise capital.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we incurred a net loss of $30.5 million, including a $10.3 non-cash loss on the early extinguishment of debt. For the years ended March 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, we incurred net losses of $10.6 million, $42.2 million and $15.0 million, respectively. The net loss for year ended March 31, 2009 included a $3.9 million non-cash loss on change in fair value of derivatives. The net loss for the year ended March 31, 2008 included a $26.9 million non-cash loss on the early extinguishment of debt. We are currently investing heavily in the completion of the second phase of our NCR data center campus in Culpeper, Virginia, to

upgrade our technology and service delivery platforms and to support our infrastructure and expansion in Santa Clara, California, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Miami, Florida. As a result, we will incur higher depreciation and other operating expenses that will negatively impact our ability to achieve and sustain profitability unless and until these new facilities generate enough revenue to exceed their operating costs and cover additional overhead needed to scale our business to this anticipated growth. Although our goal is to achieve profitability, there can be no guarantee that we will become profitable, and we may continue to incur additional losses. Even if we achieve profitability, given the competitive nature of the industry in which we operate, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our continuing losses may limit our ability to raise needed financing, or to do so on favorable terms, as those losses are taken into account by the organizations that issue investment ratings on our indebtedness.
 
We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.
 
Our products and services must be able to differentiate themselves from existing providers of space and services for telecommunications companies, web hosting companies, virtualized IT solutions and other colocation providers. In addition to competing with carrier neutral colocation providers, we must compete with traditional colocation providers, including local phone companies, long distance phone companies, Internet service providers and web hosting facilities. Likewise, with respect to our other products and services, including managed services, bandwidth services and security services, we must compete with more established providers of similar services. Most of these companies have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do.
 
Because of their greater financial resources, some of our competitors have the ability to adopt aggressive pricing policies. As a result, in the future, we may suffer from pricing pressure that would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, these competitors could offer colocation on neutral terms, and may start doing so in the same metropolitan areas where we have NAP centers. Some of these competitors may also provide our target customers with additional benefits, including bundled communication services, and may do so in a manner that is more attractive to our potential customers than obtaining space in our data centers. If our competitors were able to adopt aggressive pricing policies together with offering colocation space, our ability to generate revenues would be materially adversely affected. We may also face competition from persons seeking to replicate our Internet Exchanges concept by building new centers or converting existing centers that some of our competitors are in the process of divesting. We may experience competition from our landlords in this regard. Rather than licensing our available space to large single tenants, they may decide to convert the space instead to smaller square foot units designed for multi-tenant colocation use. Landlords may enjoy a cost effective advantage in providing similar services as our data centers, and this could also reduce the amount of space available to us for expansion in the future. Competitors may operate more successfully or form alliances to acquire significant market share. Furthermore, enterprises that have already invested substantial resources in outsourcing arrangements may be reluctant or slow to adopt our approach that may replace, limit or compete with their existing systems. In addition, other companies may be able to attract the same potential customers that we are targeting. Once customers are located in competitors’ facilities, it may be extremely difficult to convince them to relocate to our data centers.
 
A significant portion of our revenues is from contracts with agencies of the United States government and uncertainties and costs inherent in the government contracting arena could adversely affect our business.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, revenues from contracts with the federal sector constituted approximately 22% and 24%, respectively, of our revenues. Generally, U.S. government contracts are subject to oversight audits by government representatives, to profit and cost controls and limitations and to provisions permitting modification or termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the government’s convenience. Government contracts typically have an initial term of one year and renewals are at the discretion of the U.S. government. In some cases, government contracts are subject to the uncertainties surrounding congressional appropriations or agency funding. Our failure to renew or replace U.S. government

contracts when they expire could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Government contracts are also subject to specific procurement regulations and other requirements which, although customary in U.S. government contracts, increase our performance and compliance costs. These costs might increase in the future, reducing our margins, which could have a negative effect on our financial condition. The government may also change its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations that could be costly to satisfy or that could impair our ability to obtain new contracts. Failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could lead to contract modification or termination, the assessment of penalties and fines and/or suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time or permanently, which would limit our growth prospects, have an adverse effect on our reputation and ability to secure future U.S. government contracts and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our participation in government contracts subjects us from time to time to inquiries, investigations and subpoenas and other requests or demands for information regarding our business with the federal government. If improper or illegal activities are uncovered, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. In addition, mere allegations of impropriety could adversely impact our reputation. If we were suspended or debarred from contracting with the federal government generally or with any specific agency, if our reputation or relationships with government agencies were impaired or if the government otherwise were to cease doing business with us or were to significantly decrease the amount of business it does with us, our revenue, cash flows and operating results would be materially adversely affected.
 
We have been awarded, and may in the future submit bids for, U.S. government contracts that require our employees to maintain various levels of security clearances and require us or our subsidiaries to maintain certain facility security clearances in compliance with Department of Defense and other government requirements. The classified work that we currently perform at our facilities subjects us to the industrial security regulations of the Department of Defense and other federal agencies that are designed to safeguard against unauthorized access by foreigners and others to classified and other sensitive information. Obtaining and maintaining security clearances for employees involves a lengthy process, and it can be difficult to identify, recruit and retain employees who already hold security clearances. If our employees are unable to obtain or retain security clearances, or if our employees who hold security clearances stop working for us, we may face delays in fulfilling contracts or be unable to fulfill or secure new contracts with any customer involved in classified work. Any breach of security for which we are responsible could seriously harm our business, damage our reputation and make us ineligible to work on any classified programs We may be subject to penalties for violations of these regulations. If we were to come under foreign ownership, control, or influence, the U.S. government could terminate our contracts with it or decide not to renew them and such a situation could also impair our ability to obtain new contracts and subcontracts.
 
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a few clients; accordingly, a reduction in our clients’ demand for our services or the loss of clients could impair our financial performance.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we derived approximately 22% and 19% of our revenues and for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 we derived approximately 24% and 22% of our revenues from the federal sector, respectively. Because we derive a large percentage of our revenues from a few major customers, our revenues could significantly decline if we lose one or more of these customers or if the amount of business we obtain from them is reduced.

Table of Contents

A failure to meet customer specifications or expectations could result in lost revenues, increased expenses, negative publicity, claims for damages and harm to our reputation and cause demand for our services to decline.
 
Our agreements with customers require us to meet specified service levels for the services we provide. In addition, our customers may have additional expectations about our services. Any failure to meet customers’ specifications or expectations could result in:
 
  •  delayed or lost revenue;
 
  •  requirements to provide additional services to a customer at reduced charges or no charge;
 
  •  negative publicity about us, which could adversely affect our ability to attract or retain customers; and
 
  •  claims by customers for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for the failure, which may not be covered by insurance policies and which may not be limited by contractual terms of our engagement.
 
Our ability to successfully market our services could be substantially impaired if we are unable to deploy new infrastructure systems and applications or if new infrastructure systems and applications deployed by us prove to be unreliable, defective or incompatible.
 
We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of hosting and application management services in the future. If any newly introduced infrastructure systems and applications suffer from reliability, quality or compatibility problems, market acceptance of our services could be greatly hindered and our ability to attract new customers could be significantly reduced. We cannot assure you that new applications deployed by us will be free from any reliability, quality or compatibility problems. If we incur increased costs or are unable, for technical or other reasons, to host and manage new infrastructure systems and applications or enhancements of existing applications, our ability to successfully market our services could be substantially limited.
 
Any interruptions in, or degradation of, our private transit Internet connections could result in the loss of customers or hinder our ability to attract new customers.
 
Our customers rely on our ability to move their digital content as efficiently as possible to the people accessing their websites and infrastructure systems and applications. We utilize our direct private transit Internet connections to major network providers, such as AT&T and Global Crossing as a means of avoiding congestion and resulting performance degradation at public Internet exchange points.
 
We rely on these telecommunications network suppliers to maintain the operational integrity of their networks so that our private transit Internet connections operate effectively. If our private transit Internet connections are interrupted or degraded, we may face claims by, or lose, customers, and our reputation in the industry may be harmed, which may cause demand for our services to decline.
 
Our network infrastructure could fail, which would impair our ability to provide guaranteed levels of service and could result in significant operating losses.
 
To provide our customers with guaranteed levels of service, we must operate our network infrastructure 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without interruption. We must, therefore, protect our network infrastructure, equipment and customer files against damage from human error, natural disasters, unexpected equipment failure, power loss or telecommunications failures, terrorism, sabotage or other intentional acts of vandalism. Even if we take precautions, the occurrence of a natural disaster, equipment failure or other unanticipated problem at one or more of our data centers could result in interruptions in the services we provide to our customers. We cannot assure you that our disaster recovery plan will address all, or even most, of the problems we may encounter in the event of a disaster or other unanticipated problem. We have experienced service interruptions in the past, and any future service interruptions could:
 
  •  require us to spend substantial amounts of money to replace equipment or facilities;


49


Table of Contents

 
  •  entitle customers to claim service credits or seek damages for losses under our service level guarantees;
 
  •  cause customers to seek alternate providers; or
 
  •  impede our ability to attract new customers, retain current customers or enter into additional strategic relationships.
 
Our dependence on third parties increases the risk that we will not be able to meet our customers’ needs for software, systems and services on a timely or cost-effective basis, which could result in the loss of customers.
 
Our services and infrastructure rely on products and services of third-party providers. We purchase key components of our infrastructure, including networking equipment, from a limited number of suppliers, such as IBM, Cisco Systems, Inc., Microsoft and Oracle.
 
We may experience operational problems attributable to the installation, implementation, integration, performance, features or functionality of third-party software, systems and services. We may not have the necessary hardware or parts on hand or that our suppliers will be able to provide them in a timely manner in the event of equipment failure. Our inability to timely obtain and continue to maintain the necessary hardware or parts could result in sustained equipment failure and a loss of revenue due to customer loss or claims for service credits under our service level guarantees.
 
We could be subject to increased operating costs, as well as claims, litigation or other potential liability, in connection with risks associated with Internet security and the security of our systems.
 
A significant barrier to the growth of e-commerce and communications over the Internet has been the need for secure transmission of confidential information. Several of our infrastructure systems and application services use encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to provide the protections necessary to ensure secure transmission of confidential information. We also rely on security systems designed by third parties and the personnel in our network operations centers to secure those data centers. Any unauthorized access, computer viruses, accidental or intentional actions and other disruptions could result in increased operating costs or worsen our reputation with our customers.
 
For example, we may incur additional significant costs to protect against these interruptions and the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these interruptions or breaches. If a third party were able to misappropriate a consumer’s personal or proprietary information, including credit card information, during the use of an application solution provided by us, we could be subject to claims, litigation or other potential liability as well as loss of reputation.
 
We may be subject to legal claims in connection with the information disseminated through our network, which could divert management’s attention and require us to expend significant financial resources.
 
We may face liability for claims of defamation, negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement and other claims based on the nature of the materials disseminated through our network.
 
For example, lawsuits may be brought against us claiming that content distributed by some of our customers may be regulated or banned. In these and other instances, we may be required to engage in protracted and expensive litigation that could have the effect of diverting management’s attention from our business and require us to expend significant financial resources. Our general liability insurance may not cover any of these claims or may not be adequate to protect us against all liability that may be imposed. In addition, on a limited number of occasions in the past, businesses, organizations and individuals have sent unsolicited commercial e-mails from servers hosted at our facilities to a number of people, typically to advertise products or services. This practice, known as “spamming,” can lead to statutory liability as well as complaints against service providers that enable these activities, particularly where recipients view the materials received as offensive. We have in the past received, and may in the future receive, letters from recipients of information transmitted by our customers objecting to the transmission. Although we prohibit our customers by contract from spamming, we cannot assure you that our customers will not engage in this practice, which could subject us to claims for damages.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and prevent its use by third parties, our ability to compete in the market will be harmed.
 
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws to protect our proprietary technology and prevent others from duplicating our products and services. However, these means may afford only limited protection and may not: (1) prevent our competitors from duplicating our products or services; (2) prevent our competitors from gaining access to our proprietary information and technology; or (3) permit us to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.
 
Any of our patents may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. We cannot assure you that we will be successful should one or more of our patents be challenged for any reason. If our patent claims are rendered invalid or unenforceable, or narrowed in scope, the patent coverage afforded our products or services could be impaired, which could significantly impede our ability to market our products or services, negatively affect our competitive position and harm our business and operating results.
 
We cannot assure you that any pending or future patent applications held by us will result in an issued patent or that, if patents are issued to us, that such patents will provide meaningful protection against competitors or against competitive technologies. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability.
 
The United States federal courts or equivalent national courts or patent offices elsewhere may invalidate our patents or find them unenforceable. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. Other parties may develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. If these developments were to occur, it could have an adverse effect on our sales.
 
We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or trade secrets by consultants, vendors, former employees and current employees, despite the existence of nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements and other contractual restrictions. Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights effectively or to the same extent as the laws of the United States. If our intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, we may not be able to commercialize our technologies, products or services and our competitors could commercialize our technologies, which could result in a decrease in our sales and market share that would harm our business and operating results.
 
Our products or services could infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, which may lead to litigation that could itself be costly, could result in the payment of substantial damages or royalties and/or prevent us from using technology that is essential to our products or services.
 
We cannot assure you that our products, services or other methods do not infringe the patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Infringement and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against us, whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and harm our reputation. Such claims and proceedings can also distract and divert management and key personnel from other tasks important to the success of our business. In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to do one or more of the following:
 
  •  cease selling or using any of our products or services that incorporate or makes use of the asserted intellectual property, which would adversely affect our revenue;
 
  •  pay substantial damages for past use of the asserted intellectual property;
 
  •  obtain a license from the holder of the asserted intellectual property, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all; or
 
  •  redesign or rename, in the case of trademark claims, our products or services to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties, which may not be possible and could be costly and time-consuming if it is possible to do.
 
In the event of an adverse determination in an intellectual property suit or proceeding, or our failure to license essential technology, our sales could be harmed and/or our costs increase, which would harm our financial condition and our stock price may likely decline.

Table of Contents

We license intellectual property rights from third-party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, our competitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensor may also seek to terminate our license.
 
We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to third-party intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute the applications for intellectual property to which we have licenses. Even if patents or other intellectual property registrations issue in respect of these applications, our licensors may fail to maintain these patents or intellectual property registrations, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing these patents or intellectual property registrations, or may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer substantially identical products or services for sale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects.
 
One or more of our licensors may allege that we have breached our license agreement with them and accordingly seek to terminate our license. If successful, this could result in our loss of the right to use the licensed intellectual property, which could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and our business prospects.
 
We rely on trade secrets and other forms of non-patent intellectual property protection. If we are unable to protect our trade secrets, other companies may be able to compete more effectively against us.
 
We rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology, which are not protected by patents, to maintain our competitive position. Our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors.
 
To the extent that our commercial partners, collaborators, employees and consultants use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.
 
If any of our trade secrets, know-how or other technologies not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
 
Some of our employees may have been previously employed by other companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. As such, we may be subject to claims that these employees or we have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. A loss of key personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain products or services, which would adversely affect our business.
 
We may be exposed to liability under non-solicitation agreements to which one or more of our employees may be a party with certain of our competitors.
 
From time to time, we may hire employees who may be parties to non-solicitation or non-competition agreements with one or more of our competitors. Although we expect that all such employees will comply with the terms of their non-solicitation agreements, it is possible that if customers of our competitors chose to move their business to us, or employees of a competitor seek employment with us, even without any action on the part of any employee bound by any such agreement, one or more of our competitors may chose to bring a claim against us and our employee.

We may become subject to burdensome government regulation and legal uncertainties that could substantially harm our business or expose us to unanticipated liabilities.
 
It is likely that laws and regulations directly applicable to the Internet or to hosting and managed application service providers may be adopted. These laws may cover a variety of issues, including user privacy and the pricing, characteristics and quality of products and services. The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to commerce over the Internet could substantially impair the growth of our business or expose us to unanticipated liabilities. Moreover, the applicability of existing laws to the Internet and hosting and managed application service providers is uncertain. These existing laws could expose us to substantial liability if they are found to be applicable to our business. For example, we provide services over the Internet in many states in the United States and elsewhere and facilitate the activities of our customers in these jurisdictions. As a result, we may be required to qualify to do business, be subject to taxation or be subject to other laws and regulations in these jurisdictions, even if we do not have a physical presence, employees or property in those states.
 
Difficulties presented by international economic, political, legal, accounting and business conditions could harm our business in international markets.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, 14% and for December 31, 2008, 13% of our total revenue and for each of the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 13% of our total revenue was generated in countries outside of the United States, respectively. Some risks inherent in conducting business internationally include:
 
  •  unexpected changes in regulatory, tax and political environments;
 
  •  longer payment cycles and problems collecting accounts receivable;
 
  •  fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
  •  our ability to secure and maintain the necessary physical and telecommunications infrastructure;
 
  •  challenges in staffing and managing foreign operations; and
 
  •  laws and regulations on content distributed over the Internet that are more restrictive than those currently in place in the United States.
 
Any one or more of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business.
 
Our substantial leverage may impair our cash flow and financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes.
 
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2009, we have debt totaling approximately $454.6 million, of which $4.2 million is current and payable during the twelve months ending December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2009, we had debt totaling approximately $349.0 million, of which $36.1 million was current and payable during the twelve months ending March 31, 2010. For a description of our outstanding debt, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences, including, but not limited to:
 
  •  making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations and comply with other restrictions under our notes and our other indebtedness;
 
  •  increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions by making it more difficult for us to react quickly to changing conditions;
 
  •  limiting our ability to obtain additional or favorable financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
 
  •  requiring that we use a substantial portion of our cash flow from oper principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;


53


Table of Contents

 
  •  limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, and the industry in which we operate; and
 
  •  placing us at a competitive disadvantage to those of our competitors that have less indebtedness.
 
Should we need additional capital or financing, our ability to arrange financing and the cost of this financing will depend upon many factors, including:
 
  •  general economic and capital markets conditions, and in particular the non-investment grade debt market;
 
  •  conditions in the Internet infrastructure market;
 
  •  credit availability from banks or other lenders;
 
  •  investor confidence in the telecommunications industry generally and our company specifically; and
 
  •  the success of our facilities.
 
Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur substantially more indebtedness, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.
 
Subject to specified limitations, the indenture governing our senior secured notes permits us to incur substantial additional indebtedness, including indebtedness secured equally and ratably by first priority liens on the same collateral securing the notes. In addition, any future credit facility or other agreement governing our indebtedness may allow us to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. If new indebtedness is added to our current indebtedness, the risks described above could intensify.
 
We will require a significant amount of cash to fund our debt service, working capital needs and our expansion plans, and our ability to generate sufficient cash depends upon many factors, some of which are beyond our control
 
Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness, including the senior secured notes, fund working capital needs and fulfill our expansion plans depends on our ability to generate adequate cash flow. To some extent, our ability to generate adequate cash flow is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate cash flow from operations at sufficient levels or that our cash needs will not increase. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness and meet our other needs, we may have to refinance all or a portion of our existing indebtedness, or obtain additional financing. Alternatively, we may have to reduce expenditures that we deem necessary to our business or sell assets, which may further reduce our ability to generate cash and may reduce the amount of collateral securing the notes. We cannot assure you that any or all of these actions will be sufficient to allow us to service our debt obligations or that any additional financing could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
 
Covenant restrictions under our indebtedness may limit our ability to operate our business.
 
The indenture that governs our senior secured notes contains, and future financing agreements may contain, covenants that may restrict our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities. The indenture governing our senior secured notes restricts, among other things, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:
 
  •  make restricted payments;
 
  •  incur additional debt and issue preferred or disqualified stock;
 
  •  create liens;
 
  •  create or permit to exist restrictions on our ability or the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make
 
  •  certain payments or distributions;
 
  •  engage in sale-leaseback transactions;

Table of Contents

 
  •  engage in mergers or consolidations or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;
 
  •  make certain dispositions and transfers of assets; and
 
  •  enter into transactions with affiliates.
 
Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by many events beyond our control, and we may not be able to comply with these covenants, or in the event of default, to remedy that default. Our failure to comply with the covenants under the notes could result in a default, which could cause our senior secured notes (and by reason of cross-acceleration provisions, our other indebtedness) to become immediately due and payable.
 
If our financial condition deteriorates, we may be delisted by the NASDAQ and our stockholders could find it difficult to sell our common stock.
 
Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market.  The NASDAQ requires companies to fulfill specific requirements in order for their shares to continue to be listed. Our securities may be considered for delisting if:
 
  •  our financial condition and operating results appear to be unsatisfactory;
 
  •  we have sustained losses that are so substantial in relation to our overall operations or our existing financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable whether we will be able to continue operations and/or meet our obligations as they mature.
 
If our shares are delisted from the NASDAQ, our stockholders could find it difficult to sell our stock. To date, we have had no communication from the NASDAQ regarding delisting. If our common stock is delisted from the NASDAQ, we may apply to have our shares quoted on NASDAQ’s Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets” maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. The Bulletin Board and the “pink sheets” are generally considered to be less efficient markets than the NASDAQ.
 
In addition, if our shares are no longer listed on the NASDAQ or another national securities exchange in the United States, our shares may be subject to the “penny stock” regulations. If our common stock were to become subject to the penny stock regulations it is likely that the price of our common stock would decline and that our stockholders would find it more difficult to sell their shares on a liquid and efficient market.
 
Our business could be harmed by prolonged electrical power outages or shortages, or increased costs of energy.
 
A significant amount of our business is dependent upon the continued operation of the NAP of the Americas building. The NAP of the Americas building and our other NAP facilities are susceptible to regional costs of power, electrical power shortages and planned or unplanned power outages caused by these shortages. A power shortage at an internet exchange facility may result in an increase of the cost of energy, which we may not be able to pass on to our customers. We attempt to limit exposure to system downtime by using backup generators and power supplies. Power outages that last beyond our backup and alternative power arrangements could harm our customers and have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our success.
 
We are highly dependent on the skills, experience and services of key personnel. The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. We do not maintain key man life insurance with respect to these key individuals. Our recent and potential growth and expansion are expected to place increased demands on our management skills and resources. Therefore, our success also depends upon our ability to recruit, hire, train and retain additional skilled and experienced management personnel. Employment and retention of qualified personnel is important due to the competitive nature of our industry. Our inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills could impair our ability to manage and operate our business effectively.

We may encounter difficulties implementing our expansion plan.
 
We expect that we may encounter challenges and difficulties in implementing our expansion plan to establish new facilities in those domestic and international locations where we believe there is significant demand for our services and to expand our facilities in those locations we currently own such as Culpeper, Virginia, where we have the capacity to construct three additional pods, each yielding 50,000 square feet of net colocation space, and Santa Clara, California, where we have the capacity to construct an additional 50,000 square feet of net colocation space. These challenges and difficulties relate to our ability to:
 
  •  identify and obtain the use of locations in which we believe there is sufficient demand for our services;
 
  •  generate sufficient cash flow from operations or through additional debt or equity financings to support these expansion plans;
 
  •  hire, train and retain sufficient additional financial reporting management, operational and technical employees; and
 
  •  install and implement new financial and other systems, procedures and controls to support this expansion plan with minimal delays.
 
If we encounter greater than anticipated difficulties in implementing our expansion plan, it may be necessary to take additional actions, which could divert management’s attention and strain our operational and financial resources. We may not successfully address any or all of these challenges, and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business plan and results of operations, our ability to raise additional capital and our ability to achieve enhanced profitability.
 
If the world-wide financial crisis and the ongoing economic recession continues or intensifies, our ability to meet long-term commitments and our ability to grow our business would be adversely affected; this could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
 
The global economy is currently experiencing a significant contraction, with an almost unprecedented lack of availability of business and consumer credit. We rely on the capital markets, particularly for publicly offered debt, as well as the credit markets, to meet our financial commitments and short-term liquidity needs if internal funds are not available from our operations. Long-term disruptions in the capital and credit markets, similar to those that are currently being experienced, could result from uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions and could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed for our business.
 
Any disruption could require us to take measures to conserve cash until the markets stabilize or until alternative credit arrangements or other funding for our business needs can be arranged. Such measures could include deferring capital expenditures and reducing or eliminating discretionary uses of cash.
 
Besides our cash on hand and any financing activities we may purse, customer collections are our primary source of cash. While we believe we have a strong customer base and have experienced strong collections in the past, if the current market conditions continue to deteriorate we may experience increased churn in our customer base, including reductions in their commitments to us, which could also have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operation and financial position.
 
If the ongoing economic recession continues or worsens or if markets continue to be disrupted, there may be lower demand for our services and increased incidence of customers’ inability to pay their accounts. Further, bankruptcies or similar events by customers may cause us to incur bad debt expense at levels higher than historically experienced. These events would adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
 
Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock
 
Our stock price may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
The market for our equity securities has been extremely volatile (ranging from $1.85 per share to $7.25 per share during the 52-week trading period ending December 31, 2009). Our stock price could suffer in the future as a

result of any failure to meet the expectations of public market analysts and investors about our results of operations from quarter to quarter. The factors that could cause the price of our common stock in the public market to fluctuate significantly include the following:
 
  •  actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly and annual results of operations;
 
  •  changes in market valuations of companies in our industry;
 
  •  changes in expectations of future financial performance or changes in estimates of securities analysts;
 
  •  fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;
 
  •  future issuances of common stock or other securities;
 
  •  the addition or departure of key personnel; and
 
  •  announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances.
 
We expect that the price of our common stock will be significantly affected by the availability of shares for sale in the market.
 
The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely impact its price. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. On December 31, 2009, there were approximately 64.9 million shares of our common stock outstanding and approximately 12.7 million shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to our 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes, Series I convertible preferred stock, options, nonvested stock and warrants to purchase our common stock, which consist of:
 
  •  4,575,200 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of our 6.625% Senior Convertible Notes;
 
  •  1,041,333 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of our Series I convertible preferred stock;
 
  •  2,510,633 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of options;
 
  •  2,517,660 shares of our nonvested stock; and
 
  •  2,018,128 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants.
 
Accordingly, a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock are likely to become available for sale in the foreseeable future, which may have an adverse impact on our stock price.
 
Our common shares are thinly traded and, therefore, relatively illiquid.
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had 64,908,713 common shares outstanding. While our common shares trade on the NASDAQ, our stock is thinly traded (approximately 0.3%, or 215,408 shares, of our stock traded on an average daily basis during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009) and you may have difficulty in selling your shares quickly. The low trading volume of our common stock is outside of our control, and may not increase in the near future or, even if it does increase in the future, may not be maintained.
 
Existing stockholders’ interest in us may be diluted by additional issuances of equity securities.
 
We expect to issue additional equity securities to fund the acquisition of additional businesses and pursuant to employee benefit plans. We may also issue additional equity for other purposes. These securities may have the same rights as our common stock or, alternatively, may have dividend, liquidation, or other preferences to our common stock. The issuance of additional equity securities will dilute the holdings of existing stockholders and may reduce the share price of our common stock.

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock, and investors will be able to receive cash in respect of the shares of common stock only upon the sale of the shares.
 
We have no intention in the foreseeable future to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in accordance with the terms of our new credit facilities. Furthermore, unless we satisfy specified financial ratio covenants we may not pay cash or stock dividends without the written consent of our note holders. Further, the terms of our Series I convertible preferred stock provide that, in the event we pay any dividends on our common stock, an additional dividend must be paid with respect to all of our outstanding Series I convertible preferred stock in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of dividends that would be owed for all shares of commons stock into which the shares of Series I convertible preferred stock could be converted at such time. Therefore, an investor in our common stock will obtain an economic benefit from the common stock only after an increase in its trading price and only by selling the common stock.
