covenants in our debt instruments and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. If, because of these factors, we
cannot generate sufficient earnings and cash flows from our business, we may be unable to make payments of dividends of our
common stock. Furthermore, no dividend may be declared or paid on any class or series of common stock, unless an equivalent
dividend is contemporaneously declared and paid on each other class of common stock.

At September 30, 2012, we owned and leased approximately 2.6 million square feet of office and processing center space in
38 countries around the world, of which approximately 1.9 million square feet are owned and the remaining 0.7 million square feet
are leased. Our corporate headquarters is located in the San Francisco Bay Area and consists of four buildings that we own,
totaling 0.9 million square feet. We also own an office building in Miami, totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet.
In addition, we own and operate two primary processing centers and an adjacent office facility located in Colorado and
Virginia, totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet.
We believe that these facilities are suitable and adequate to support our business needs.
