Risk Factors

•

Inability

to

sustain

growth

or

profitability,

particularly

in

light

of

an

uncertain

U.S.

or

worldwide

economy

and

the

related

impact on customer acquisition and retention rates, customer usage levels and credit and debit card payment declines

•

Inability to maintain and expand our customer base and maintain or increase the average revenue per subscriber

•

Inability to continue to expand our business and operations internationally

•

New or unanticipated costs or income, sales or other tax liabilities or inability to accurately estimate our effective tax rate

•

Inability to maintain existing or enter into new supplier and marketing relationships on acceptable terms

•

Inability

to

manage

certain

risks

inherent

to

our

business,

such

as

fraudulent

activity,

system

failure

or

a

security

breach

•

Competition from other similar providers with regard to price, service and functionality

•

Inability to obtain telephone numbers in sufficient quantities on acceptable terms and in desired locations

•

Enactment of burdensome telecommunications, Internet, or other regulations

•

Reduced use of fax services due to increased use of email, scanning or widespread adoption of digital signatures

•

Inability to successfully manage our growth, including integration of newly acquired businesses

•

Inability to adapt to technological change and diversify our service offerings and related revenues at acceptable levels of

return-on-investment

•

Inadequate intellectual property protection or violations of third party intellectual property rights

•

Loss of services of executive officers and other key employees

•

Other factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by us on February 23, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange
