        delivery regions in the Asia Pacific theater; and

    --  Achieving significant progress in the Company's five-year

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, we consider and use Non-GAAP revenue, Non-GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We consider Non-GAAP revenue and net income measurements to be an important indicator of overall performance of the company because it allows us to illustrate the impact of revenue generated from our multi-element contract as well as to eliminate the effects of share-based compensation and litigation expense. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income before net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus income from our multi-element contract and expenses that we do not consider reflective of our ongoing operations. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess our operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors' use of operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in such items as capital structures (affecting relative interest expense and share-based compensation expense), the book amortization of intangibles (affecting relative amortization expense), the age and book value of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense) and other non cash expenses. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.

The terms Non-GAAP revenue and net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP revenue and net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider Non-GAAP revenue and net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

    --  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash
        expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures
        or contractual commitments;

    --  they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our
        working capital needs;

    --  they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash
        requirements necessary to service interest or principal
        payments, on our debt;

    --  they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for
        any tax payments;

    --  although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
        the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to
        be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do
        not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

    --  while share-based compensation is a component of operating
        expense, the impact on our financial statements;

    --  compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such
        factors as assumed life of the options and assumed volatility
        of our common stock; and

    --  other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
        differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as
        comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. Non-GAAP Net Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company is presenting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciling the non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable GAAP measures.

(1) During 2006, we repurchased stock in a transaction with a total
     value of $102.1 million. Selling stockholders agreed to hold
     $10.1 million of the proceeds to offset specific claims for
     reimbursement associated with the Akamai lawsuit and other
     undisclosed obligations that may arise. For the three month
     periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we had $1.0 million
     and $0.4 million, respectively, of litigation costs subject to
     reimbursement from this escrow. For the nine month periods ended
     September 30, 2007 and 2006, we had $2.3 million and $0.4
     million, respectively, of litigation costs subject to
     reimbursement from this escrow.
