None.
Item 2. Properties.
We lease or own several facilities for corporate offices, sales offices, data centers, switch sites and other facilities across our nationwide
service area. These leases have various expiration dates through 2024. We believe our facilities are suitable and adequate for our business
operations.
Office space.
Our corporate headquarters is in Atlanta, Georgia, where we occupy approximately 76,000 square feet under a lease that
will expire in 2014. Our other main facilities for corporate offices include 53,000 square feet in Vancouver, Washington under a lease that will
expire in 2013, 34,000 square feet in Anniston, Alabama under a lease that will expire in 2018, 54,000 square feet in Huntsville, Alabama under
a lease that will expire in 2016, 75,000 square feet in Burlington, Massachusetts under a lease that will expire in 2019 and 71,000 square feet in
Rochester, New York under a lease that will expire in 2022. We also lease multiple sales offices in locations throughout the United States. We
own an administrative office in Arab, Alabama.
Data centers.
We operate four data centers. We own a data center facility in Atlanta, Georgia and we lease data center facilities in
Marlboro, Massachusetts; Rochester, New York; and Columbia, South Carolina. We are currently building out four new leased data centers in
San Jose, California; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; and Miami, Florida, with expected completion of all data centers by the third quarter of
2013.
Network.
We own switch sites in Anniston, Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama and in Nashville, Tennessee. We lease space for
switch sites in various cities throughout the southeastern and northeastern United States. As part of our fiber optic network, we own or lease
rights-of-way, land, and point-of-presence space throughout the southeastern and northeastern United States.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is party to various legal and regulatory proceedings and other disputes arising from normal business activities. The
Company’
s management believes that there are no disputes, litigation or other legal or regulatory proceedings asserted or pending against the
Company that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows,
and believes that adequate provision for any probable and estimable losses has been made in the Company’
s condensed consolidated financial
statements. However, the result of any current or future disputes, litigation or other legal or regulatory proceedings is inherently unpredictable
and could result in liabilities that are higher than currently predicted.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
