PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights the key information contained in this prospectus.
Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information you should
consider before making an investment decision. You should read the entire
prospectus carefully, including the section titled "Risk Factors" and the
financial statements and the notes relating to those statements.

Digex

Our Company

Digex is a leading provider of Web site hosting services to businesses and
organizations implementing complex, interactive Web sites and Web-based
applications. From major corporations to Internet start-ups, our customers
leverage our services to rapidly and cost-effectively deploy secure and
reliable business solutions including on-line banking, on-line procurement and
electronic retailing. We provide the computer hardware, software, network
technology, and systems management necessary to offer our customers
comprehensive outsourced Web site hosting solutions.

We believe our singular focus on delivering mission-critical Web site and
application hosting solutions has been the major contributor to our growth. We
currently provide services to a diverse customer base of over 500 customers
ranging from Fortune 50 companies to small and medium size businesses that rely
heavily on the Internet. We operate two state-of-the-art data centers
strategically positioned on the east and west coasts of the United States. In
these data centers, we house over 1,400 Windows NT and UNIX-based servers which
we own and manage. Our revenues have grown at a compounded annual growth rate
of 184% over the past two years from $2.8 million in 1996 to $22.6 million in
1998. Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $9.4 million.
The following are among the key factors that we believe will continue to drive
our growth:

. the ability to facilitate the rapid, cost-efficient implementation and
expansion of customers' Web site initiatives;

. an operating platform designed to allow us to scale our operations to
achieve higher revenues, lower marginal unit costs and increased
operating margins;

. an experienced management team and technical experts, who in the
aggregate hold over 200 technical certifications from leading companies
such as Cisco Systems, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems;

. a highly skilled research and development organization dedicated to
identifying the best available tools, technologies and processes;

. a growing, geographically distributed direct sales force; and

. a network of over 120 business partnership alliances which provide
complementary design, development and integration services for our
customers and which represent a significant source of new customer
referrals for Digex.

Our Market Opportunity

According to Forrester Research, Inc., the Web site hosting market is
projected to increase from $875 million in 1998 to approximately $14.6 billion
in 2003. In addition to the overall expansion and increasing pervasiveness of
the Internet, we believe one of the key drivers of growth in the Web site
hosting industry is the increasing number of businesses that have elected to
outsource the management of their Web sites and related operations. Web sites
are mission-critical for virtually all Web-centric companies and are becoming
increasingly strategic for many mainstream enterprises. At the same time, these
operations and applications are becoming more complex and challenging to
operate. We offer customers a comprehensive outsourcing solution designed to
reduce costs, speed implementation, reduce technology risks and provide
guaranteed operating performance.

Our Strategy

Our objective is to shape and lead the global market for Web site and
application hosting solutions. We intend to achieve this goal through a
strategy focused on:

. expanding our premier Web site hosting capabilities;

. addressing industry-specific customer needs;

. developing next generation service offerings; and

. expanding our capabilities through selective strategic alliances and
acquisitions.

Our History

Our business started in 1996 as the Web site hosting unit of Business
Internet, Inc., previously known as DIGEX, Incorporated, a company that was
principally an Internet access and Web site hosting services provider. Business
Internet went public in October 1996 under the name DIGEX, Incorporated, and
was acquired by Intermedia Communications Inc. in July 1997. In contemplation
of this offering, we were incorporated as Digex, Incorporated in April 1999,
and Business Internet contributed our assets to the newly formed Digex,
Incorporated in order to effect a recapitalization of our business.

Our Address and Telephone Number

The address of our principal executive offices is One Digex Plaza,
Beltsville, Maryland 20705 and our telephone number is (301) 847-5000.

Summary Financial Data

The following table sets forth summary financial data of Digex for the period
from July 7, 1997, the date of acquisition by Intermedia of the Web site
hosting unit (the "Predecessor"), which was then part of Business Internet, to
December 31, 1997, the year ended December 31, 1998, and the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1999, and of the Predecessor, for the year ended December
31, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1997 to July 6, 1997. The summary
historical financial data has been derived from Digex's and the Predecessor's
financial statements which have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, with the
exception of the unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, and are included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The following table also sets forth our pro forma financial information for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The pro forma financial information gives
effect to the purchase by Intermedia of the Predecessor as if such acquisition
had occurred on January 1, 1997. The presentation of pro forma financial
information is made to permit useful comparison of results of operations
between periods presented. This pro forma financial information is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results we would have achieved if the
Predecessor had been acquired on January 1, 1997. The relationship between
Business Internet and the Predecessor is more fully described in note 1 to the
financial statements.

In the following table, pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share have
been calculated assuming that the common shares issued in connection with our
recapitalization in April 1999 were outstanding for all periods of Digex
presented, and giving effect to the 50,000-for-one stock split of our Class B
Common Stock to be effected prior to the closing of this offering.

You should read the summary financial and other data below in conjunction
with our audited and unaudited interim financial statements and the related
notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. You should also read the
accompanying "Selected Financial Data" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contained later in
this prospectus.

(1) This amount represents a one-time charge to operations for the charge off
of purchased in-process research and development related to the Predecessor
in connection with Intermedia's purchase of Business Internet on July 7,
1997.

(2) EBITDA before certain charges consists of earnings (loss) before tax
benefit, depreciation and amortization and the charge off of purchased in-
process research and development. EBITDA before certain charges does not
represent funds available for management's discretionary use and is not
intended to represent cash flow from operations. EBITDA before certain
charges should also not be construed as a substitute for operating income
or a better measure of liquidity than cash flow from operating activities,
which are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. This caption excludes components that are significant in
understanding and assessing our results of operations and cash flows. In
addition, EBITDA before certain charges is not a term defined by generally
accepted accounting principles and as a result our measure of EBITDA before
certain charges might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used
by other companies. However, we believe that EBITDA before certain charges
is relevant and useful information which is often reported and widely used
by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the Web hosting
industry. Accordingly, we are disclosing this information to permit a more
comprehensive analysis of our operating performance, as an additional
meaningful measure of performance and liquidity, and to provide additional
information with respect to our ability to meet future debt service,
capital expenditure and working capital requirements. See the financial
statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this prospectus for
more detailed information.

(3) Net cash provided by financing activities includes capital contributions of
$4,010, $7,626, $64,085, $41,899, $5,078 and $40,037 for the year ended
December 31, 1996, the period from January 1, 1997 to July 6, 1997, the
period from July 7, 1997 to December 31, 1997, the year ended December 31,
1998, and the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

(4) As Adjusted as of March 31, 1999 gives effect to our recapitalization, as
described in note 10 to the financial statements contained elsewhere in
this prospectus, and the offering as if it had occurred on March 31, 1999.

(5) We have historically participated in Intermedia's centralized cash
management system and, as a result, have not carried cash balances on our
financial statements. With the closing of this offering, we will be
maintaining and reporting cash balances in our financial statements.

(6) The pro forma statement of operations data for the year ended December 31,
1997, represents the combining of the historical Predecessor statement of
operations data for the period from January 1, 1997 to July 6, 1997 and the
historical Digex statement of operations data for the period from July 7,
1997 to December 31, 1997, as adjusted for the following items:

.A decrease in cost of operations of $3,080 which represents reduced
network expenses.
. An increase in depreciation and amortization of $1,578 which represents
amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisition.
. An increase in income tax benefit of $3,270 which represents the income
tax effect of purchase accounting adjustments.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Class A Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before
you purchase any of our Class A Common Stock. These risks and uncertainties are
not the only ones we face. Unknown additional risks and uncertainties, or ones
that we currently consider immaterial, may also impair our business operations.

If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business,
financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely
affected. In this event, the trading price of our Class A Common Stock could
decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

We have a limited operating history and our business model is still evolving,
which makes it more difficult for you to evaluate our company and its
prospects.

We were established in January 1996 to provide Web site hosting services for
businesses deploying complex, mission-critical Web sites, which remains our
primary focus. Our range of service offerings has changed since 1996 and our
business model is still new and developing. For example, we recently began
offering integrated business solutions and enterprise services. Because some of
our services are new, we cannot be sure that businesses will buy them. As a
result, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven. Our
limited operating history makes predicting future results difficult. Our
prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties
encountered by companies in the new and rapidly evolving market for Web site
hosting services. To address these risks, among other things, we must:

. provide reliable, technologically current and cost-effective services;

. continue to upgrade and expand our infrastructure;

. market our brand name and services effectively;

. maintain and develop our business partnership alliances; and

. retain and attract qualified personnel.

We have a history of significant losses and expect these losses to continue in
the foreseeable future.

We have experienced operating losses and negative cash flows from operations
in each annual period from inception. As of December 31, 1998, our accumulated
losses since January 1, 1996 have amounted to approximately $47.9 million. We
had a net loss of $16.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. While our
revenues have grown in recent periods, we cannot assure you that this growth
will continue. In connection with our expansion plans, we anticipate making
significant investments in sales, marketing, technical and customer support
personnel, as well as in our data center infrastructure. As a result of our
expansion plans, we expect our net losses and negative cash flows from
operations to continue for the foreseeable future. We cannot assure you that we
will ever become or remain profitable or that we will generate positive cash
flows from operations.

Our quarterly and annual results may fluctuate, resulting in fluctuations in
the price of our Class A Common Stock.

Our results of operations fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis. We
expect to continue experiencing significant fluctuations in our future
quarterly and annual results of operations due to a variety of factors, many of
which are outside our control, including:

. demand for and market acceptance of our services;

. introductions of new services by us and our competitors;

. capacity utilization of our data centers;

. timing of customer installations;

7
<PAGE>

. the mix of services we sell;

. customer retention;

. the timing and magnitude of our capital expenditures, including
construction costs related to the expansion of our operations;

. changes in our pricing policies and those of our competitors;

. fluctuations in bandwidth used by customers;

. our retention of key personnel; and

. other general economic factors.

For these and other reasons, in some future quarters, our results of
operations may fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors,
which could negatively affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

We operate in a relatively new and evolving market with uncertain prospects for
growth.

The market for Web site hosting and related services has only recently begun
to develop and is evolving rapidly. Although certain industry analysts project
significant growth for this market, their projections may not be realized. Our
future growth, if any, will depend on the continued trend of businesses to
outsource their Web site hosting and management systems, and our ability to
market our services effectively. There can be no assurance that the market for
our services will develop, that our services will be adopted, or that
businesses will use these Internet-based services in the degree or manner that
we expect. It is possible that at some point businesses may find it cheaper,
more secure or otherwise preferable to host their Web sites internally and
decide not to outsource the management of their Web sites. If we are unable to
react quickly to changes in the market, if the market fails to develop, or
develops more slowly than expected, or if our services do not achieve market
acceptance, then we are unlikely to become or remain profitable.

We may be unable to achieve our operating and financial objectives due to
significant competition in the Web hosting industry.

The market for hosting Web sites is highly competitive. There are few
substantial barriers to entry and many of our current competitors have
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger
customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more
established relationships in the industry than we possess. Our current and
potential competitors in the market include Web hosting service providers,
Internet service providers, commonly known as ISPs, telecommunications
companies and large information technology outsourcing firms. Our competitors
may operate in one or more of these areas and include companies such as
AboveNet Communications, AT&T, Cable & Wireless, Concentric Network, EDS,
Exodus Communications, Frontier/GlobalCenter, Globix, GTE, IBM, Intel, Level 3
Communications, MCI WorldCom, PSINet, Qwest Communications International, and
USinternetworking.

Our competitors may be able to expand their network infrastructures and
service offerings more quickly. They may also bundle other telecommunications
services with their Web site hosting services, which could allow them to reduce
the relative prices of their Web site hosting services beyond levels that we
could compete with, and generally adopt more aggressive pricing policies. In
addition, some competitors have entered and will likely continue to enter into
joint ventures or alliances to provide additional services which may be
competitive with those we provide. We also believe the Web hosting market is
likely to experience consolidation in the near future, which could result in
increased price and other competition that would make it more difficult for us
to compete. See "Business--Competition."

Our data centers and the networks we rely on are sensitive to harm from human
actions and natural disasters. Any resulting disruption could significantly
damage our business and reputation.

Our reputation for providing reliable service largely depends on the
performance and security of our data centers and equipment, and of the network
infrastructure of our connectivity providers. In addition, our customers often
maintain confidential information on our servers. However, our data centers and
equipment, the networks we use, and our customers' information are subject to
damage and unauthorized access from human error and tampering, breaches of
security, natural disasters, power loss, capacity limitations, software
defects, telecommunications failures, intentional acts of vandalism, including
computer viruses, and other factors that have caused, and will continue to
cause, interruptions in service or reduced capacity for our customers, and
could potentially jeopardize the security of our customers' confidential
information such as credit card and bank account numbers. Despite precautions
we have taken and plan to take, the occurrence of a security breach, a natural
disaster, interruption in service or other unanticipated problems could
seriously damage our business and reputation and cause us to lose customers.
Additionally, the time and expense required to eliminate computer viruses and
alleviate other security problems could be significant and could impair our
service quality. We also often provide our customers with service level
agreements. If we do not meet the required service levels, we may have to
provide credits to our customers, which could significantly reduce our
revenues. Additionally, in the event of any resulting harm to customers, we
could be held liable for damages. Awards for such damages might exceed our
liability insurance by an unknown but significant amount and could seriously
harm our business.

We could not provide adequate service to our customers if we were unable to
secure sufficient network capacity to meet our future needs on reasonable terms
or at all.

We must continue to expand and adapt our network arrangements to accommodate
an increasing amount of data traffic and changing customers' requirements. We
have entered into several two-year network services agreements with Intermedia
to provide us with certain network transit capacity which we believe to be
adequate for our capacity requirements. However, if our future network capacity
requirements exceed the capacity Intermedia has committed to provide to us, we
may have to pay higher prices for such additional network capacity or such
capacity might not be available at all. Our failure to achieve or maintain high
capacity data transmission could negatively impact service levels to our
existing customers and limit our ability to attract new customers, which would
harm our business.

Our business, in large part, depends on network services we receive from
Intermedia. Any disruption of these services or Intermedia's inability to
maintain its peering relationships could be costly and harmful to our business.

We currently rely exclusively on Intermedia for network services. Intermedia
operates its own coast-to-coast Internet Protocol network, which qualifies it
as a tier-one service provider of Internet connectivity services. If our
network services agreements with Intermedia were to be terminated, we would
need to rapidly secure an alternative provider of these services. As a result,
we could incur transition costs and our monthly costs of operations could
increase. In addition, such a transition could have a detrimental effect on our
customer service levels.

The Internet is composed of many ISPs that operate their own networks and
interconnect with other ISPs at various peering points. Peering relationships
are arrangements that permit ISPs to exchange traffic with one another without
having to pay for the cost of transit services. Peering relationships are a
competitive factor that allow some Web hosting companies to provide faster data
transmission than others. We believe Intermedia's tier-one status and numerous
peering relationships enable it to provide us faster data transmission than
many other ISPs provide. If Intermedia fails to adapt its network
infrastructure to meet industry requirements for peering or loses its peering
relationships for any other reason, then our transmission rates could be
reduced, resulting in a decrease in service quality we provide to our
customers.

<PAGE>

Providing services to customers with mission-critical Web sites could
potentially expose us to lawsuits for customers' lost profits or other damages.

Because our Web hosting services are critical to many of our customers'
businesses, any significant interruption in our services could result in lost
profits or other indirect or consequential damages to our customers. Our
customers are required to sign server order forms which incorporate our
standard terms and conditions. Although these terms disclaim our liability for
any such damages, a customer could still bring a lawsuit against us claiming
lost profits or other consequential damages as the result of a service
interruption or other Web site problems that the customer may ascribe to us.
There can be no assurance a court would enforce any limitations on our
liability, and the outcome of any lawsuit would depend on the specific facts of
the case and legal and policy considerations. We also believe we would have
meritorious defenses to any such claims, but there can be no assurance we would
prevail. In such cases, we could be liable for substantial damage awards. Such
damage awards might exceed our liability insurance by unknown but significant
amounts, which would seriously harm our business.

Digex is controlled by Intermedia, which could involve multiple risks for you
as a stockholder.

Intermedia controls a majority of our voting power, and Intermedia's
interests in us may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. Intermedia,
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Business Internet, owns all of the issued
and outstanding shares of our Class B Common Stock. When this offering is
completed, Intermedia will own 50,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. Each
share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes, as compared to one vote
for each share of Class A Common Stock to be sold in this offering. Thus, after
this offering is completed, Intermedia will control approximately 98% of the
voting power of Digex, and will be able to control the management and affairs
of Digex, and all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including
the election and removal of directors, and any merger, consolidation or sale of
all or substantially all of our assets. As a result, the price of our Class A
Common Stock may be affected.

We depend on Intermedia to fund our working capital and operating losses, but
Intermedia's ability to fund these needs is limited by its own substantial
indebtedness. Because we are subject to the restrictions under Intermedia's
indentures, we will be required to use all of the net proceeds of this offering
to purchase Telecommunications Related Assets, as defined under "Use of
Proceeds," within 270 days of this offering. We will not be able to use the
proceeds of this offering directly to fund operating losses, working capital or
other uses that are not purchases of Telecommunications Related Assets. Because
we anticipate operating losses and a significant need for working capital for
the foreseeable future, we expect we will have to obtain funds for such
purposes from Intermedia or other sources which are significantly restricted.
See "Use of Proceeds" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Sale
of Telecommunications Related Assets to Intermedia" for a description of
certain arrangements we made with Intermedia relating to our use of a portion
of the proceeds of this offering.

Intermedia is and will continue to be highly leveraged. Intermedia's level of
debt will require it to dedicate a substantial portion of its future cash flow
from operations for payment of principal and interest on its debt, as well as
dividends on and the redemption of its preferred stock. Historically,
Intermedia has not generated sufficient cash flow to cover its operating and
investing expenses. In addition, because of the restrictions in the Intermedia
indentures, Intermedia has only a limited amount of cash that may be used for
working capital purposes and to fund operating losses. Consequently, Intermedia
may not be able to provide us with a source of funds for our working capital or
operating losses. Our dependence on Intermedia and the degree to which
Intermedia is leveraged could, among other things, increase our vulnerability
to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to fund
future working capital, operating losses, capital expenditures, acquisitions
and other requirements, and limit our flexibility in reacting to changes in our
business and industry. We strongly urge you to read "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

We may require additional funds to finance our business but our ability to
raise such funds is significantly limited by agreements that are binding on
Intermedia. Intermedia has issued debt securities to the public under seven
indentures. As a subsidiary of Intermedia, we are subject to a number of
restrictions under the Intermedia indentures. These restrictions will, among
other things, limit our ability to make certain restricted payments, incur
indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other
distributions, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, create liens, sell
our assets, issue or sell our equity interests, or enter into certain mergers
and consolidations. As a result, our future financing sources will be
significantly limited and our use of any proceeds, including the net proceeds
of this offering, will be significantly restricted.

Our ability to issue additional capital stock is constrained by Intermedia's
ownership of the Class B Common Stock, which could make it more difficult for
us to raise capital to expand our business. In the future, Intermedia may elect
to sell shares of our Class B Common Stock that it controls to the public or to
distribute such shares to its own stockholders. If as a result of such sale or
distribution, Intermedia would no longer hold more than 50% of the total voting
power of our capital stock, the consent of the majority in principal amount of
the noteholders under the Intermedia indentures would be required for such a
sale or distribution. In addition, if we decide in the future to issue and sell
additional shares of our capital stock such that the voting power represented
by the Class B Common Stock held by Intermedia would no longer be greater than
50% of the total voting power of our capital stock, the consent of the majority
in principal amount of the noteholders under the Intermedia indentures would
also be required for such a sale. We would be free of the restrictions in the
Intermedia indentures only if Intermedia designated us as an "unrestricted
subsidiary," which would require a consent of a majority in principal amount of
the noteholders under the Intermedia indentures, or if Intermedia sold a
sufficient number of its shares of Digex to reduce its voting power below 50%.

Digex and Intermedia have the same legal counsel, and therefore contractual
relationships between Digex and Intermedia might be less advantageous to Digex
than if Digex had separate legal representation. Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman
LLP, counsel to Digex, is also counsel to Intermedia. Consequently, Digex does
not have legal representation independent from Intermedia.

If we do not respond effectively and on a timely basis to rapid technological
change and evolving industry standards, our business could suffer.

Internet and networking technology is changing rapidly. Our future success
will depend largely on our ability to:

. offer services that incorporate leading technologies;

. address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our current
and prospective customers;

. respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards on a
timely and cost-effective basis; and

. continue offering services that are compatible with products and
services of other vendors.

Although we often work with various vendors in testing newly developed
products, there can be no assurance such products will be compatible with our
infrastructure or such products will adequately address changing customer
needs. Although we currently intend to support emerging standards, there can be
no assurance industry standards will be established or, if they become
established, that we will be able to conform to these new standards in a timely
fashion and maintain a competitive position in the market. Our failure to
conform to the prevailing standards, or the failure of common standards to
emerge, could harm our business. In addition, products, services or
technologies developed by others may render our services no longer competitive
or obsolete.

Our business will not grow unless Internet usage grows and Internet performance
remains adequate.

The increased use of the Internet for retrieving, sharing and transferring
information among businesses and consumers has only recently begun to develop.
Our success will depend on the continued growth in Internet

11
<PAGE>

usage. The growth of the Internet is subject to a high level of uncertainty and
depends on a number of factors, including the growth in consumer and business
use of new interactive technologies, the development of technologies that
facilitate interactive communications, security concerns and increases in data
transport capacity. If the Internet as a commercial medium fails to grow or
develops more slowly than expected, then our business is unlikely to grow.

The recent growth in the use of the Internet in general has caused frequent
periods of performance degradation, requiring the upgrade of routers and
switches, telecommunications links and other components forming the
infrastructure of the Internet by ISPs and other organizations with links to
the Internet. Any perceived degradation in the performance of the Internet as a
whole could undermine the benefits of our services. The performance of our Web
site hosting services is ultimately limited by and relies on the speed and
reliability of the networks operated by third parties. Consequently, the growth
of the market for our services depends on improvements being made to the entire
Internet infrastructure to alleviate overloading and congestion.

We may be unable to achieve our operating and financial objectives if we cannot
manage our anticipated growth effectively.

Our business has grown rapidly, and our future success depends in large part
on our ability to manage the recent and anticipated growth in our business. For
us to manage this growth, we will need to:

. expand and enhance our operating and financial procedures and controls;

. replace or upgrade our operational and financial management information
systems; and

. attract, train, manage and retain key employees.

These activities are expected to place a significant strain on our financial
and management resources. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our
business could suffer.

Our growth depends on our ability to expand data center capacity to meet
anticipated demand.

Continuing to expand capacity is critical to achieving our business strategy.
This expansion is likely to include the need to add new hardware and software,
and may include the opening of additional data centers. We are currently
significantly expanding our data center capacity by constructing two new
facilities, one in Beltsville, Maryland, and another in San Jose, California to
augment our capacity in those regions. We intend to add data center capacity
over the next five years as justified by customer demand. Our ability to do so
successfully depends on:

. anticipating and planning for future demand levels;

. having access to sufficient capital; and

. locating and securing satisfactory data center sites and implementing
the build-out of these sites, all of which may require significant lead
time.

If we cannot expand capacity effectively, our growth will suffer and we may
not be able to adequately meet the demands of existing customers.

Our business could be harmed if our management team, which has worked together
for only a brief time, is unable to work together effectively, or if we are
unable to retain and attract key personnel.

We have recently hired key employees and officers, including our President
and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our President,
Product Management, Engineering and Marketing Group, who joined us in the
beginning of July 1999, and our President, Sales and Service Delivery Group,
who joined us in December 1998. As a result, our management team has worked
together for only a brief time. Our success in significant part depends on the
continued services of our senior management personnel, as well as of our key
technical and sales personnel.

12
<PAGE>

We believe our short and long-term success also depends largely on our
ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial and
marketing personnel, particularly additional management personnel in the areas
of application integration and technical support. Competition for such
personnel is intense. We may not be able to hire or retain the necessary
personnel to implement our business strategy, or we may need to pay higher
compensation for employees than we currently expect. Our inability to attract
and retain such personnel would limit our growth and harm our business.

We could face additional costs and operational disruptions in the future if
Intermedia discontinues providing general and administrative services to us.

Intermedia has provided and is expected to continue to provide many of our
financial, administrative and operational services and related support
functions, including customer billing, legal, human resources and information
management services. We have a General and Administrative Services Agreement
with Intermedia, as described under "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions--General and Administrative Services Agreement," to provide such
services for at least the next two years. Should Intermedia's provision of
these services no longer meet our needs or if Intermedia unexpectedly stops
providing these services for any reason, we could face significant challenges
and costs in transitioning to our own or alternative general and administrative
functions. Such a transition and any resulting impairment of our operations
could harm our financial results.

Regulatory and legal uncertainties could have significant costs or otherwise
harm our business.

The law in the United States relating to the liability of on-line and
Internet service providers for information disseminated through their systems
remains largely unsettled. It may also take years to determine whether and how
existing laws, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel
and taxation, apply to the Internet. The growth and development of the market
for on-line commerce may also prompt calls for more stringent consumer
protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting
business on-line. The application of existing laws or promulgation of new laws
could require us to expend substantial resources to comply with such laws or
discontinue certain service offerings. Increased attention to liability issues
could also divert management attention, result in unanticipated expenses and
harm our business. Regulation of the Internet may also harm our customers'
businesses, which could lead to reduced demand for our services. We are not
currently subject to direct regulation by the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC") or any other government agency, other than as to regulations applicable
to business in general. However, in the future we may be subject to regulation
by the FCC or other federal or state agencies, which could increase our costs
and harm our business. See "Business--Government Regulation."

Our business plan contemplates future international operations but there are
numerous risks and uncertainties in offering services outside of the United
States.

We intend to expand into international markets and may build data centers
internationally. We cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully sell
our services or adequately maintain operations outside the United States. In
addition, there are certain risks inherent in conducting business
internationally. These include:

. unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

. ability to secure and maintain the necessary physical and
telecommunications infrastructure;

. challenges in staffing and managing foreign operations; and

. employment laws and practices in foreign countries.

Any of these could adversely affect our international operations.
Furthermore, some foreign governments have enforced 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
adversely affect our contemplated future international operations and,
consequently, our business.

13
<PAGE>

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights or to continue
using intellectual property that we license from others.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, service mark and trade
secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect certain of
our proprietary rights. We have no patented technology that would bar
competitors from our market. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary
rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use
our data or technology, such as our customized Digex Centralized Nervous System
applications.

We also rely on certain technologies licensed from third parties. We cannot
be sure these licenses will remain available to us on commercially reasonable
terms or at all. The loss of such technology could require us to obtain
substitute technology of lower quality or performance standards or at greater
cost, which could harm our business.

We did not obtain third party consents in connection with our restructuring,
which may allow certain third parties, including some of our customers, to
assert a breach of a contract.

In connection with this offering, Business Internet, our direct parent
company, contributed the Web hosting business to us. This contribution included
an assignment of all of the contracts that are part of our business, including
our customer contracts. We have elected not to seek consents in connection with
this assignment. While the failure to obtain required third party consents
could give a third party the ability to assert a breach of the acquired
contract, we believe this would be unlikely in the case of the restructuring
because all of the assigned contracts were transferred as part of the entire
Web hosting business. Nevertheless, we cannot be sure that one or more third
parties will not assert a breach of our contracts with them because of our
failure to seek or obtain their consents to assignment.

We could lose revenues and our reputation may be damaged if our systems or
those of our customers or our suppliers are not Year 2000 compliant.

Before the end of this year, many currently installed computer systems and
software products may need to be upgraded in order for 20th century dates to be
distinguished from 21st century dates. Systems that do not comply with these
"Year 2000" requirements may cause miscalculations which will interfere with
business activities or simply fail to work. Although we have implemented a Year
2000 program intended to ensure our computer systems and applications will
function properly beyond 1999 and requested assurances from our suppliers that
their products are Year 2000 compliant, we cannot be sure that we will be able
to promptly or correctly address all relevant Year 2000 issues, especially
where third-party customers or suppliers are involved. If we cannot achieve
Year 2000 compliance, our systems could be disrupted for a period of time. This
would cause a loss of revenues, including requests from customers for credits
for downtime. More importantly, any significant disruption would seriously
damage our business reputation. We might also face lawsuits for damages.

In addition, some of our customers have an option to terminate their
agreements with us if our facilities are not Year 2000 compliant by July 1,
1999. Even though we were not Year 2000 compliant on July 1, 1999, thus far no
customers have terminated their contracts for this reason and we do not believe
that any significant number of customers will exercise their option to
terminate their agreements with us. However, if most of the customers who have
the option to terminate were to exercise that option, our revenues could
decline. Additionally, we cannot evaluate our customers' Year 2000 readiness.
To the extent that a customer's site is not functioning correctly, it may,
potentially, affect other customers' sites or our networks. It may also not be
possible to determine that the malfunctioning is caused by the customer's
software, and the customer may request service credits or we might otherwise
have a difficult time realizing the expected revenues from such a customer. We
strongly urge you to read about our Year 2000 efforts in this prospectus under
the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Impact of Year 2000."

There has been no prior market for our Class A Common Stock and the market
price of the shares will fluctuate.

We cannot be sure that an active public market for the Class A Common Stock
will develop or continue after this offering. Prices for the Class A Common
Stock will be determined in the marketplace, are likely to be highly volatile
and may be influenced by many factors, including variations in our financial
results, changes in earnings estimates by industry research analysts,
investors' perceptions of us and general economic, industry and market
conditions. Investors may not be able to sell their Class A Common Stock at or
above the initial public offering price. Additionally, we believe there are
relatively few comparable companies that have publicly traded equity
securities. This may also affect the trading price of the Class A Common Stock
after this offering and make it more difficult for you to evaluate the value of
the Class A Common Stock.

Further, the stock markets, and in particular the Nasdaq National Market,
have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly
affected the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies
and that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating
performance of such companies. The trading prices of many technology companies'
stocks are at or near historical highs and reflect price to earnings ratios
substantially above historical levels which may not be sustained. These broad
market factors may adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common
Stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a
company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been
instituted against such companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result
in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources,
which could harm our business.

Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect the price of our Class
A Common Stock.

After this offering is completed, 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
will be issued and outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option. All of the shares of Class A Common Stock sold in this
offering will be freely tradable under the Securities Act unless purchased by
our "affiliates," as that term is defined in the Securities Act. In connection
with this offering, our officers and directors and some of our stockholders
will be required to refrain from selling any shares of Common Stock for a
period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the written
consent of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. Additionally, shares of Class B Common
Stock could be converted to shares of Class A Common Stock and sold in the
future. The market price of our Class A Common Stock could drop due to sales of
a large number of shares of our Class A Common Stock in the market after this
offering or the perception that such sales could occur. Historically, market
prices of start-up and Internet companies' stocks have been particularly
susceptible to such fluctuations. These factors could also make it more
difficult to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.

You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution.

Purchasers of the Class A Common Stock being offered will experience
immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of their
Class A Common Stock. See "Dilution."

The greater voting power of our Class B Common Stock, as well as some
provisions of the Delaware Anti-Takeover Law and of our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, could discourage a takeover of Digex and adversely
affect the price of the Class A Common Stock.

Upon completion of this offering, our board of directors will have the
authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine
the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting
rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders.
The rights of the holders of any of our common stock may be adversely affected
by the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the
future. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in
connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have
the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority
of our outstanding voting stock. We have no current plans to issue shares of
preferred stock. We are also subject to certain provisions of Delaware law
which could have the effect of

15
<PAGE>

delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of Digex, including
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits us from
engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a
period of three years from the date the person became an interested stockholder
unless certain conditions are met. In addition, our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that, together with
Intermedia's voting power and ownership of Class B Common Stock, could
discourage potential takeover attempts and make attempts by stockholders to
change management more difficult.

This prospectus includes forward-looking statements which could differ from
actual future results.

Some of the statements in this prospectus that are not historical facts are
"forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements can be identified by
the use of words such as "estimates," "plans," "anticipates," "expects,"
"intends," "believes" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or by
discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Examples of
forward-looking statements include discussions relating to:

. plans to expand our existing Web site hosting services and applications
for enterprises doing business on the Internet;

. introductions of new products and services;

. proposals to build new data centers in various geographic areas;

. estimates of market sizes and addressable markets for our services and
products;

. anticipated revenues from designated markets during 1999 and later
years;

. statements regarding the Year 2000 issue; and

. statements regarding the future course of our relationship with
Intermedia.

We wish to caution you that all the forward-looking statements contained in
this prospectus are only estimates and predictions. Our actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due
to risks, uncertainties or actual events differing from the assumptions
underlying these statements. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions include,
but are not limited to, those discussed in this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate the net proceeds from the sale of the 10,000,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock we are offering will be approximately $156.3 million, at the
initial public offering price of $17.00 per share and after deducting the
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses. If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, we
estimate such net proceeds will be approximately $180.0 million.

Under the terms of Intermedia's indentures, described under "Risk Factors--
Digex is controlled by Intermedia," we will be required to use all of the net
proceeds of this offering to purchase Telecommunications Related Assets.
Telecommunications Related Assets mean assets used in connection with the
business of: (1) transmitting, or providing services relating to the
transmission of, voice, video or data through owned or leased transmission
facilities; (2) creating, developing and marketing communications related
network equipment, software and other devices for use relating to (1); or (3)
evaluating, participating in or pursuing any other activity or opportunity that
is related to those identified in (1) or (2); all as determined in good faith
by the board of directors of Intermedia. We intend to use approximately $95.1
million of the net proceeds to continue to expand and enhance our data center
infrastructure. We have entered into a letter agreement with Intermedia
pursuant to which Intermedia will purchase from us, at our cost, some of the
Telecommunications Related Assets purchased with the net proceeds of this
offering. Intermedia is expected to pay us for these Telecommunications Related
Assets to the extent necessary with funds not subject to restrictions under the
Intermedia indentures that we will use for working capital purposes and to fund
operating losses. The amounts actually expended for such capital expenditures
and working capital purposes may vary significantly, depending on a number of
factors, including our future revenues and Intermedia's availability of funds.

A portion of the net proceeds may also be used to acquire or invest in
complementary businesses, technologies, product lines or products. We have no
current plans, agreements or commitments with respect to any such acquisition,
and we are not currently engaged in any negotiations with respect to any such
transaction. Pending use of the net proceeds of this offering, we intend to
invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade
securities.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We do not anticipate paying any dividends on any of our common stock in the
foreseeable future. Moreover, because we are subject to restrictions under the
Intermedia indentures, we are effectively prohibited from paying dividends. We
may also incur indebtedness in the future which may prohibit or effectively
restrict the payment of dividends.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of March 31, 1999 (1) on
an actual basis, (2) on a pro forma basis as if our recapitalization had been
effected on March 31, 1999, and (3) as adjusted to give effect to our
recapitalization and the sale of the 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
we are offering, at the initial public offering price of $17.00 per share and
after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses that we will pay. This table should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included
elsewhere in this prospectus.

DILUTION

Our net tangible book value on a pro forma basis assuming the
recapitalization as of March 31, 1999 and giving effect to the 50,000-for-one
stock split of our Class B Common Stock to be effected prior to the closing of
this offering was approximately $72.3 million, or $1.45 per share of the
combined Class A and Class B Common Stock. Pro forma net tangible book value
per share represents the amount of total tangible assets less total
liabilities, divided by the pro forma combined number of shares of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 1999. After
giving effect to the issuance and sale of the 10,000,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock offered hereby at the initial public offering price of $17.00 per
share and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value as of March
31, 1999 would be $228.6 million, or $3.81 per share of the combined Class A
and Class B Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma
net tangible book value of $2.36 per share to existing stockholders and an
immediate dilution of $13.19 per share to new investors. The following table

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The following table sets forth selected historical financial data of Digex
for the period from July 7, 1997, the date of acquisition by Intermedia of the
Predecessor, to December 31, 1997, the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, and of the Predecessor for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1997 to July 6, 1997.
The selected historical financial data has been derived from Digex's and the
Predecessor's financial statements which have been audited by Ernst & Young
LLP, with the exception of the unaudited financial statements for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, and are included elsewhere in this
prospectus.

The following table also sets forth our pro forma financial information for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The pro forma financial information gives
effect to the purchase by Intermedia of the Predecessor as if such acquisition
had occurred on January 1, 1997. The presentation of pro forma financial
information was made to permit useful comparison of results of operations
between periods presented. This pro forma financial information is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results we would have achieved if the
Predecessor had been acquired on January 1, 1997. The relationship between
Business Internet and the Predecessor is more fully described in note 1 to the
financial statements.

You should read the selected financial data below in conjunction with our
audited and unaudited interim financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this prospectus. You should also read the accompanying
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," contained later in this prospectus.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

Digex is a leading provider of Web site and application hosting services to
businesses and organizations operating mission-critical, multi-functional Web
sites and Web-based applications. We also offer related enterprise services,
such as firewall management and stress testing, and consulting services,
including capacity and migration planning and database optimization. We provide
the computer hardware, software, network technology, and systems management
necessary to offer our customers comprehensive outsourced Web site hosting
solutions. We currently provide such services to a diversified customer base
consisting of over 500 customers. We own and manage over 1,400 Windows NT and
UNIX-based servers in our two state-of-the-art data centers which are
strategically positioned on the east and west coasts of the United States.

Our revenues have grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 184% over the
past two years from $2.8 million in 1996 to $22.6 million in 1998. We believe
our singular focus on delivering mission-critical Web site and application
hosting solutions has been the major contributor to our growth.

Our business started in 1996 as the Web site hosting unit of Business
Internet, Inc., previously known as DIGEX, Incorporated, a company that was
principally an Internet access and Web site hosting services provider. Business
Internet went public in October 1996 under the name DIGEX, Incorporated, and
was acquired by Intermedia in July 1997. In contemplation of this offering, we
were incorporated as Digex, Incorporated in April 1999, and Business Internet
contributed our assets to the newly formed Digex, Incorporated in order to
effect a recapitalization of our business.

Revenue. Our revenues consist primarily of monthly fees from sales of our Web
site hosting and other related services. Contracts for these services are
typically between one and three years in length. In addition to Web hosting, we
have also recently begun to offer integrated business solutions, enterprise
services and consulting services and believe that we will begin to derive
increasing amounts of revenues from the sale of these services in the future.

Cost and Expenses. Cost and expenses include:

.cost of operations;

.cost of services;

.selling, general and administrative expenses; and

.depreciation and amortization expense.

Cost of operations consist primarily of the costs for our network
connectivity. We expect our network connectivity requirements to grow in
conjunction with the growth of our overall business and accordingly expect
these costs to increase in the future.

Cost of services consist principally of salaries and benefits for our
technical operations and customer service personnel and facilities
administration, including rent, maintenance and utilities to support our data
centers. We expect our cost of services to increase in dollar amount but to
decline as a percentage of revenue due to economies of scale and expected
improvements in technology and productivity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries
and benefits for our marketing, sales and support personnel, advertising costs,
consultants' fees and other miscellaneous expenses. We expect

23
<PAGE>

selling, general and administrative expenses in the future to increase in
dollar amount but to decline as a percentage of revenue.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of depreciation of
our data center equipment and related assets and amortization of our intangible
assets. We expect these expenses to increase due to our plans to invest
significant capital to expand our data center capacity.

Results of Operations

The following table presents certain information derived from the audited
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and
the unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1999 expressed as a percentage of revenue. For the purposes of the
following discussion and analysis, the results of operations of the Predecessor
for the period from January 1, 1997 to July 6, 1997, have been adjusted to
reflect the acquisition of Business Internet by Intermedia as if the
acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 1997 and have been combined with
the results of our operations for the period from July 7, 1997 (date of
acquisition) to December 31, 1997. This computation was done to permit useful,
complete year comparisons between the results for 1996, 1997 and 1998. However,
this pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the operating
results we would have achieved if the Predecessor had been acquired on January
1, 1997.

</TABLE>

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
1998

Revenue. Revenues were $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999, compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, an
increase of 141.0%. The $5.5 million increase in revenue was due primarily to
the increase in our marketing efforts, increase in the number of customers, and
increase in revenues from existing customers. We also experienced an increase
in revenue per server through upgrades and value-added services as compared to
the same period in 1998.

Cost of Operations. Our cost of operations was $1.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $887,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The $765,000 increase was due to additional network costs
resulting from our expanded customer base. We expect costs of operations to
increase in the future in conjunction with our overall growth. As a percentage
of revenue, the cost of operations

24
<PAGE>

decreased to 17.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to
22.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

Cost of Services. Our cost of services was $4.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998. The $2.9 million increase was due primarily to the hiring of
additional employees in customer service, engineering, facilities
administration, and technical operations to support the growth in customers and
in conjunction with expanding our data center capacity. As a percentage of
revenue, the cost of services increased to 42.1% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, from 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This
increase is related to the costs associated with the additional personnel that
were added since April 1, 1998. We expect the cost of services to increase in
amount during the remainder of 1999 due to anticipated revenue increases, but
to decline as a percentage of revenue due to economies of scale.

Selling, General and Administrative. Our selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The $4.5
million increase was due primarily to increased departmental expenses
associated with sales and marketing efforts. In order to continue to grow our
business, we hired additional sales personnel, which resulted in increased
salaries, commissions and benefits expenses as well as recruiting fees. We also
incurred additional advertising expenses and rent costs in the first quarter of
1999, as compared to the first quarter of 1998. As a percentage of revenue,
expenses decreased to 85.9% for the three month period ended March 31, 1999
from 94.0% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to
$4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $2.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The $2.3 million increase
was principally due to the depreciation of server equipment and other data
center related equipment that were placed in service since April 1, 1998.

Net loss. Net losses increased to $(8.6) million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, compared to $(3.8) million for the three months ended March 31,
1998.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to the Pro Forma Year Ended December 31,
1997

Revenue. Revenues were $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998,
compared to $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of
94.9%. The $11.0 million increase in revenue was a result of our increased
marketing efforts, and market acceptance of our new products, resulting in
growth in our number of customers. We also experienced increases in revenue
from existing customers through upgrades and value added services. This
translated into higher average revenues per server. Additionally, during 1998
we increased the number of quota-bearing sales representatives.

Cost of Operations. Our cost of operations was $6.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998, compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December
31, 1997. The $3.9 million increase was due to increased network capacity
requirements necessary to support our growing business. In addition, we also
experienced an increase in the average network bandwidth per server. As a
percentage of revenue, the cost of operations increased to 29.6% in 1998 from
24.2% in 1997 primarily as a result of our purchasing added network capacity
per server in 1998 as compared to 1997 to improve customer Web site
performance.

Cost of Services. Our cost of services was $7.0 million for the year ended
December 31,1998, compared to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31,
1997. The $3.6 million increase was due primarily to the hiring of additional
engineering and operations staff to support our expanded customer base. As a
percentage of revenue, the cost of services increased to 31.1% in 1998 from
29.5% in 1997.

Selling, General and Administrative. Our selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998,
compared to $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The $4.4
million increase was due to higher commission expenses associated with our
increased sales

25
<PAGE>

levels as well as increases in our administrative headcount. As a percentage of
revenue, the expenses decreased to 77.5% in 1998 from 112.7% in 1997 due to
economies of scale.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to
$8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $4.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The $3.2 million increase was largely due to
increased capital expenditures for servers and other data center related
equipment.

Income Tax Benefit. Our income tax benefit decreased to $159,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998, compared to $4.7 million for the year ended December
31, 1997. The 1998 income tax benefit represents the recognition of a portion
of the benefits associated with 1998 tax net operating loss. Benefits were
recognized in 1998 to the extent of unused deferred tax credits originating in
previous periods.

Net Loss. Net losses decreased to $(16.6) million for the year ended December
31, 1998, compared to $(22.9) million for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Pro Forma Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to the Year Ended December 31,
1996

Revenue. Revenues were $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997,
compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, an increase of
314.3%. The $8.8 million increase in revenue was due primarily to our increased
marketing and sales efforts and the increased market acceptance of dedicated
Web site hosting as a viable outsourcing solution.

Cost of Operations. Our cost of operations was $2.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 1997, compared to $2.0 million for the year ended December
31, 1996. The $806,000 increase was due to increased network connectivity
expenses in connection with the growth in the number of managed servers. This
increase in our cost of operations was partially offset by the more favorable
network connectivity pricing we received subsequent to Intermedia's acquisition
of Business Internet in July 1997. As a percentage of revenue, the cost of
operations declined to 24.2% in 1997 from 71.4% in 1996, primarily as a result
of the favorable pricing from Intermedia.

Cost of Services. Our cost of services was $3.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997, compared to $684,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The $2.7 million increase was due primarily to headcount increases in customer
service and operations during 1997. As a percentage of revenue, the cost of
services increased to 29.5% in 1997 from 24.4% in 1996, primarily due to the
additional customer service and operations employees who were hired in
conjunction with the expansion of our marketing efforts to support the
anticipated growth in our business.

Selling, General and Administrative. Our selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997,
compared to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. The $9.9 million
increase was due to significant increases in headcount in our sales, marketing,
management information, and administration departments, as well as one-time
expenditures for employee recruitment, relocation, and training. As a
percentage of revenue, the expenses decreased to 112.7% in 1997 from 114.0% in
1996.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to
$4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $591,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1996. The $4.3 million increase was due to the
amortization of intangible assets in connection with the purchase of Business
Internet as allocated to us. This increase was also due to increased capital
expenditures for servers and other data center related equipment connected with
the continued expansion of our business.

Charge off of Purchased In-Process Research and Development. The charge for
purchased in-process research and development of $15.0 million in 1997
represents the amount of purchased in-process research and development
associated with the purchase of Business Internet by Intermedia. In connection
with this acquisition, Intermedia allocated $15.0 million of the purchase price
to in-process research and development

26
<PAGE>

projects that relate directly to us. This allocation represents the estimated
fair value based on risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete
projects. At the date of acquisition, the development of these projects had not
yet reached technological feasibility and the in-process research and
development had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were
expensed as a one-time charge to earnings in 1997.

The acquired projects involved development, engineering, and testing
activities associated with the completion of next generation Web site
management services. The primary effort involved the development of an
additional Web site management facility on the West Coast. The development of
technology related to this project was considered valuable as it is critical to
alleviating capacity constraints and adding significant new service
capabilities. Upon completion, the new Web site management facility was
expected to result in faster and easier installation of customers' servers as
well as efficient traffic management with significantly less overhead. Related
efforts involved the development and integration of next generation routers to
support greater transmission capacity, as well as a new software architecture
to assist in balancing traffic loads. Another valuable element involved the
development of site mirroring, the ability to create exact replicas of Web
sites at each of Digex's two sites for greater service reliability. The fair
value assigned to these projects is $15 million.

These projects were completed during 1998. As such, there is no additional
future cost or risk expected with respect to these projects.

Income Tax Benefit. Our income tax benefit increased to $4.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31,
1996. The income tax benefit in 1997 results from our ability to recognize the
benefits of our 1997 net tax operating loss carryforward to the extent of
available and unused tax credits that arose in connection with Intermedia's
purchase of Business Internet. Such tax credits relate to the purchase
accounting differences between bases in our identifiable intangible assets.

Net Loss. Net losses increased to $(22.9) million for the year ended December
31, 1997, compared to $(3.7) million for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have used cash in our operating and investing activities during all
periods since inception. These cash usages have been funded by permanent
contributions to capital. Such contributions amounted to $4.0 million, $24.5
million, $41.9 million and $40.0 million in 1996, 1997 (pro forma), 1998, and
the first quarter of 1999, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities in 1996, 1997 (pro forma), 1998 and the
first quarter of 1999 was $2.6 million, $13.3 million, $10.9 million and $8.0
million, respectively. Net cash used for operating activities in each of these
periods was primarily the result of operating losses and changes in working
capital.

Net cash used for investing activities in 1996, 1997 (pro forma), 1998 and
the first quarter of 1999 was $1.4 million, $56.2 million, $31.0 million and
$32.0 million, respectively. Net cash used for investing activities in each of
these periods was primarily the result of capital expenditures for data center
infrastructure, as well as leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and
computers and other equipment. Additionally, in July of 1997, goodwill and
other intangible assets were allocated to us for separate reporting purposes,
and shown as a use of cash. Although we have plans to invest significantly in
property and equipment, we have no material commitments for such items at this
time.

We anticipate we will have significant cash requirements for several years as
we expand our data center capacity, increase our employee base to support such
operations and invest in our marketing organization. In addition, we expect to
invest significantly in the purchase of property and equipment. We have made
certain arrangements with Intermedia, described under "Use of Proceeds" and
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Sale of Telecommunications
Related Assets to Intermedia," such that our management believes the net
proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to fund our capital needs into the
second half of 2000. We intend to seek funding from external sources to meet
our cash needs subsequent to that date. There can be no

27
<PAGE>

assurance that such funding will be available on terms satisfactory to us.
Alternatively, Intermedia may be able to advance funds to us to meet our
requirements after that date, but it has no obligation to do so.

In addition, Intermedia is and will continue to be highly leveraged. At March
31, 1999, Intermedia had outstanding approximately $3.1 billion of debt and
other liabilities including trade payables, and a total of approximately $875
million of obligations with respect to four outstanding series of preferred
stock. Intermedia's level of debt will require it to dedicate a substantial
portion of its future cash flow from operations for payment of principal and
interest on its debt, as well as dividends on and the redemption of its
preferred stock. Historically, Intermedia has not generated sufficient cash
flow to cover its operating and investing expenses. For the year ended December
31, 1998, Intermedia's earnings were insufficient to cover combined fixed
charges and dividends on preferred stock. In addition, because of the
restrictions in the Intermedia indentures, Intermedia has only a limited amount
of cash that may be used for working capital purposes and to fund operating
losses. Consequently, Intermedia may not be able to provide us with a source of
funds for our working capital or operating losses.

Impact of Year 2000

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer-controlled systems using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. For example, computer
programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date ending in "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failure
or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities. To ensure that our computer systems and
applications will function properly beyond 1999, through Intermedia, we have
implemented a Year 2000 program.

Project and State of Readiness

We have developed a five-phase plan that is designed to assess the impact of
the Year 2000 issue on our information technology ("IT") and non-information
technology ("Non-IT") and remediate as necessary the non-compliant components.
This table represents management's best estimates with respect to our systems
as outlined below. The percentages indicate management's best estimate of
completion as of June 30, 1999:

</TABLE>

Because it is not always necessary to complete one phase prior to beginning
the next, some projects within a given phase have been started while there may
be outstanding tasks associated with prior phases. Priority is always placed on
mission critical systems.

Phase I Preliminary Activity

This phase is a phase of awareness and education. The outcome of this phase
was our understanding of the criticality, risks, size and scope of the Year
2000 problem.

Phase II Problem Determination

In this phase we performed an inventory and assessment to determine which
portions of our hardware and software would have to be replaced or modified in
order for our networks, office equipment and information management systems to
function properly after December 31, 1999. Such determinations were based in
part on

28
<PAGE>

representations made by hardware and software vendors as to the Year 2000
compliance of the systems we use. However, there can be no assurances that any
vendor representations received by us were accurate or complete. We also
conducted a risk assessment to identify those systems whose failure would be
expected to result in the greatest risk to our business. As of June 30, 1999,
Phase II of the plan was 100% complete with respect to IT and 100% complete
with respect to Non-IT. However, there can be no assurances that mission-
critical equipment has not been overlooked.

Phase III Plan Complete & Resources Committed

During Phase III, we designed a plan to make the necessary modifications to
and/or replace the impacted software and hardware and committed the resources
towards the execution of such a plan. While we believe we have substantially
completed our plan for achieving Year 2000 compliance, the discovery of
additional IT or Non-IT systems requiring remediation could adversely impact
the current plan and the resources required to implement the plan.

Phase IV Operational Sustainability

We are actively engaged in Phase IV, utilizing both internal and external
resources to reprogram, or replace, and test certain components of our networks
and information processing systems for Year 2000 compliance and scheduling the
installation of other necessary hardware and software upgrades. Although we
intend to conduct tests to ensure the equipment is Year 2000 compliant, we will
focus primarily on those systems whose failure would pose the greatest risks to
our operations. There can be no assurance that we have identified all mission
critical IT or Non-IT systems. We will not likely test all of our equipment and
will rely upon vendor representations, if received, where tests are not
conducted. There can be no assurance that any vendor representation will be
accurate or complete. As of June 30, 1999, Phase IV of the plan was 50%
complete for IT and 50% for Non-IT. We expect to complete Phase IV by September
30, 1999.

Phase V Fully Compliant

We plan to be fully compliant on mission-critical components no later than
November 30, 1999, which is prior to any anticipated impact on our operating
systems. Though the majority of the work will be completed by the third quarter
of 1999, there are elements that will not be completed (Phase V) until the
fourth quarter of 1999 primarily due to limited availability of compliant
software and hardware and prioritization of mission critical systems. As of
June 30, 1999, we estimate that our remediation efforts are approximately 55%
complete overall.

We believe that we have allocated adequate resources for this purpose and
expect our Year 2000 conversion program to be successfully completed on a
timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that it will successfully
implement all of the necessary upgrades in a timely manner. We presently
believe that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new
software and hardware, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for our systems or have any adverse impact on our
customers or business units. However, if such modifications and conversions are
not made, or are not completed in a timely fashion, the Year 2000 problem could
harm our reputation and business.

Costs

We have tracked Year 2000 costs on a company-wide basis by segregating our
internal and external costs and hardware and software costs. The internal costs
are comprised of employee hours, and external costs are comprised of outside
consultant costs.

The cost estimates presented below do not include system upgrades that would
otherwise result as part of our capital expenditure program. The estimated
costs of the project and the date which we have established to complete the
Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were
derived utilizing

29
<PAGE>

numerous assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of
certain resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However,
there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that
might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, unanticipated mergers and
acquisitions, and similar uncertainties.

A summary of historical and estimated costs for the Year 2000 project are

Risks and Contingency Plan

While we are working to test our own mission-critical systems for Year 2000
compliance, we do not control the systems of our suppliers. We are currently
seeking assurance from our suppliers and strategic business partners regarding
the Year 2000 readiness of their systems. We are currently reviewing data
provided by the Telco Year 2000 Forum to ensure that our suppliers' and
business partners' systems will accurately interact with our systems into and
beyond the Year 2000. The Telco Year 2000 Forum was formed by some of the
largest U.S. telecommunication companies to pool and share testing resources
for common network components and to perform network interoperability testing.
Importantly, we are relying on Intermedia's Year 2000 compliance efforts to
ensure that our connectivity with Intermedia is available after December 31,
1999. Notwithstanding any measures we may take, there is some risk that the
interaction of our systems and those of our suppliers or business partners may
be impacted by the Year 2000 date change. In addition, in light of the vast
interconnection and interoperability of telecommunications networks and the
Internet worldwide, our ability to provide services to our customers is
dependent in large part on the networks and systems of other carriers. To the
extent the networks and systems of those carriers are adversely impacted by
Year 2000 problems, our ability to service our customers may be adversely
impacted as well. Any such impact could have a material adverse effect on our
operations.

The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect the company's
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Due to the general
uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the
uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and customers,
we are unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000
failures will have a material impact on our results of operations, liquidity or
financial condition. The Year 2000 project is expected to significantly reduce
our level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem and, in particular, about
the Year 2000 compliance and readiness of our material suppliers and business
partners. We believe that, with the implementation of new business systems and
completion of the Year 2000 project as scheduled, the possibility of
significant interruptions of normal operations should be reduced.

In a recent Securities and Exchange Commission release regarding Year 2000
disclosure, the Securities and Exchange Commission stated that public companies
must disclose the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario.
Although it is not possible to assess the likelihood of any of the following
events, each must be included in a consideration of worst case scenarios:
widespread failure of electrical, gas, and similar supplies serving us;
widespread disruption of the services provided by common communications
carriers;

30
<PAGE>

similar disruption to the means and modes of transportation for us and our
employees, contractors, suppliers and customers; significant disruption to our
ability to gain access to, and remain working in, office buildings and other
facilities; the failure of substantial numbers of our critical computer
hardware and software systems, including both internal business systems and
systems controlling operational facilities such as electrical generation,
transmission and distribution systems; and the failure of outside entities'
systems, including systems related to banking and finance.

If we cannot operate effectively after December 31, 1999, we could, among
other things, face substantial claims by customers, including for lost profits,
or loss of revenue due to service interruptions, inability to fulfill
contractural obligations or bill customers accurately and on a timely basis,
and increased expenses associated with litigation, stabilization of operations
following critical system failures and the execution of contingency plans. We
could also experience an inability by customers and others to pay us on a
timely basis or at all. Under these circumstances, the adverse effects,
although not quantifiable at this time, would be material. Although Congress
recently enacted the "Y2K Act" to limit punitive damages in lawsuits related to
Year 2000 problems, we cannot predict how the courts will interpret this
statute or whether it will afford us any meaningful protection from any
potential lawsuits.

In addition, some of our customers have an option to terminate their
agreements with us if our facilities are not Year 2000 compliant by July 1,
1999. Even though we were not Year 2000 compliant on July 1, 1999, thus far no
customers have terminated their contracts for this reason and we do not believe
that any significant number of customers will exercise their option to
terminate their agreements with us. However, if most of the customers who have
the option to terminate were to exercise that option, our revenues could
decline. Additionally, we cannot evaluate our customers' Year 2000 readiness.
We believe that we are not responsible for the Year 2000 compliance of our
customers' Web sites and we intend to notify them in writing of this fact and
to urge them to ensure that their sites are Year 2000 compliant. Some of our
customers' sites may fail due to Year 2000 issues and, while we believe that
the failure of any one customers' site will not affect other customers' sites
or our network, we cannot guarantee that this will be the case. Also, to the
extent that a customer's site is not functioning correctly and it is not
possible to determine that the malfunctioning is caused by the customer's
software, the customer may request service credits or we might otherwise have a
difficult time realizing the expected revenues from such a customer.

We believe that our critical systems will be Year 2000 compliant before
January 1, 2000. Intermedia's Year 2000 Executive Steering Committee convened
in first quarter 1999 and is scheduled to meet regularly throughout the year.
This committee includes members of Intermedia's management and our President,
Sales and Service Delivery Group, Nancy G. Faigen. The committee is working to
oversee and allocate additional resources, if required, for the final plans for
Year 2000 readiness. Having identified our mission-critical systems and those
of our key suppliers, and the associated risks of failure to ensure that those
systems are Year 2000 ready, we are in the process of devising contingency
plans which will be implemented in the event any such systems are not Year 2000
compliant in a timely manner. Business continuity plans are under development
by us and will be ready for implementation by the fourth quarter of 1999.

We urge you to read "Risk Factors--We could lose revenues and our reputation
may be damaged if our systems or those of our customers or suppliers are not
Year 2000 compliant."

Industry Background

Introduction

Use of the Internet, including intranets and extranets, has grown rapidly in
recent years. This growth has been driven by a number of factors, including the
large and growing installed base of personal computers, improvements in network
architectures, increasing numbers of network-enabled applications, the
emergence of compelling content and commerce-enabling technologies, and easier,
faster and cheaper Internet access. As a result of this growing use, the
Internet has become an important new global communications and commerce medium.
The Internet represents an opportunity for enterprises to interact in new and
different ways with a

32
<PAGE>

large number of customers, employees, suppliers and partners. Enterprises are
responding to this opportunity by rapidly increasing their investment in
Internet sites and services.

Over the last several years, enterprises that focus solely on distributing
products and services over the Internet have emerged and, more recently,
mainstream businesses have begun to implement Web sites to complement
traditional business models and applications. Among the various factors which
continue to attract these businesses to the Internet is the transformation of
Web sites from being primarily text-based and informational to becoming
interactive, multimedia-enabled and transaction oriented. New technologies and
development tools have also led to the Web-enabling of traditional business
functions and applications such as customer service, procurement, human
resource management and sales force automation. Internet operations and
applications are mission-critical for virtually all Web-centric companies and
are becoming increasingly mission-critical for many mainstream enterprises. At
the same time, these operations and applications are becoming more complex and
challenging to operate. Ensuring the quality, reliability, and availability of
these Internet operations typically requires substantial investments in
developing Internet expertise and infrastructures. However, such a continuing
significant investment of resources is often an inefficient use of an
enterprise's limited resources. As a result, businesses are increasingly
seeking collaborative outsourcing arrangements that can increase performance,
provide continuous operation of their Internet solutions, and reduce Internet
operating expenses.

According to Forrester Research, 44% of the 50 Fortune 1000 firms they
surveyed have outsourced the management of their Web sites. Forrester reports
that companies outsource Web site management primarily for the following
reasons:

. scarcity of technical skills;

. performance;

. speed of implementation; and

. security.

We believe additional benefits of outsourcing the management of a complex Web
site include lower total costs, higher service level guarantees and reduced
risk of technology obsolescence.

Emergence of Web Hosting Service Providers

In order to establish a high quality, reliable Web site or to run a Web-based
application on the Internet, businesses must, among other things, procure and
integrate sophisticated hardware and software, develop application specific
technical skills, and have access to a secure, fault-tolerant physical location
and redundant Internet connectivity. While it is possible for a business to
provide all of these elements in-house, many companies elect to outsource all
or a portion of their Web-site operations to companies offering Web hosting
services. Web hosting companies, in general, provide various infrastructure-
related services, including secure, monitored data centers, uninterrupted power
supply and high-speed network connectivity. We categorize the market for
outsourced Web hosting services into the following:

. Shared Hosting: customers share server hardware and bandwidth with other
customers. Shared hosting provides a price competitive entry point for
individuals and businesses desiring a simple Web site.

. Collocation Hosting: customers own their hardware, software and network
equipment which is housed at the Web site hosting company's facilities.
The customers retain responsibility for the installation, management,
scalability and security of their Web sites. While collocation requires
the customer to assume the majority of the responsibilities for the
operation of its Web site, collocation has been and remains an
attractive option for Web-centric companies with advanced in-house
Internet expertise.

. Dedicated Hosting: customers are provided a complete Web site hosting
solution. Unlike collocation, the service provider supplies the
hardware, software, network equipment and support

33
<PAGE>

necessary to run the Web site. As Web sites have become more complex,
even large and technically astute businesses have found Internet
technologies and solutions a challenge to manage. For such companies,
including many Fortune 2000 companies, dedicated Web site hosting has
become a preferred alternative.

. Application Hosting: customers are provided the services of dedicated
Web site hosting along with the management of Web-enabled business
applications supporting such common business processes as customer
service, procurement, human resource management and sales force
automation. The service provider implements and configures such business
applications to meet the specific needs of its customers. For large and
small businesses alike, business process hosting offers numerous
benefits, including faster time-to-market, access to advanced
application skills and significantly lower costs of operation.

A variety of companies, such as ISPs and large systems integrators, offer
products and services that attempt to address enterprises' Internet outsourcing
needs. However, we believe the solutions offered by these companies fail to
address certain elements required to ensure that customers' mission-critical
Internet operations are reliable, scalable and responsive. ISPs have
traditionally focused on providing Internet access and many have not developed
the technical expertise and physical resources to support mission-critical Web
sites. In addition, many large systems integrators focus primarily on large
enterprises and traditional information technologies. These firms often lack
the network and Internet expertise required to provide mission-critical
solutions. As a result, we believe a significant opportunity exists for a
highly-focused company to provide a combination of complex Web site hosting,
outsourced applications management and professional consulting services that
enable businesses to implement reliable, high performance and cost effective
mission-critical Internet solutions.

The Digex Solution

We focus primarily on providing dedicated Web site and application hosting
services. Our core competency is developing and managing mission-critical Web
solutions for Fortune 2000 companies and Web-centric businesses. We believe we
are uniquely positioned to assist such businesses in optimizing the potential
of the Internet and their Internet-related applications by providing our
customers with the following key advantages:

A Comprehensive Suite of Web Site and Application Hosting Services. We
provide a suite of services that enable companies to conduct business on the
Internet. Using a large, multi-specialized technical staff of certified
engineers, and through the security and reliability of our state-of-the-art
data centers, we provide the services and expertise to ensure secure, scalable,
high-performance operation of mission-critical Web sites 24 hours a day. These
services include:

. Web site management services such as operating and supporting Windows NT
and UNIX-based dedicated servers, providing server collocation, and
private network connectivity;

. integrated business solutions, which involve the hosting of leading Web-
enabled business software applications such as electronic commerce,
sales force automation and customer care;

. enterprise services such as firewall management, stress testing and
customized Web site activity reporting; and

. consulting services including capacity planning, disaster recovery
planning, migration planning and database optimization.

As part of our services, we provide the installation and maintenance of
industry-leading hardware and software, core technical expertise, high-volume
backup and recovery systems and 24 hours a day monitoring by our Server
Operations Center ("SOC").

High-Performance Internet and Private Network Connectivity. We provide high
performance network connectivity services for our customers' Web sites as well
as direct private networking options for secure "back-end" network connections
to private corporate networks and information systems. Through our network

34
<PAGE>

services agreement with Intermedia, we offer superior Internet connectivity
that provides the following direct benefits to customers:

. connectivity to a diversely redundant high-speed national network via
Intermedia, a tier-one ISP;

. use of all of Intermedia's public and private peering relationships
permitting direct exchange of traffic with a significantly large number
of carriers and ISPs;

. use of all of Intermedia's regional direct connections to major ISPs,
dial-up carriers, and content service providers; and

. service level agreements guaranteeing high availability and performance.

Digex also intends to provide diversified connectivity options to other major
backbones in addition to Intermedia, offering customers an additional service
enhancement. We also intend to establish and maintain our own public and
private peering arrangements.

Responsive Customer Care and Technical Support. We strive to provide superior
customer service. This includes 24-hour a day direct access to a staff of over
150 customer care and technical support personnel and a variety of proactive
monitoring services from our state-of-the-art SOC. We believe this level of
customer support significantly differentiates Digex in the marketplace.

At our SOC, we monitor and report on the health of servers, networks, and
security devices managed by Digex. The SOC uses a variety of technologies and
tools to monitor specific network devices, such as routers, switches and load
balancing equipment. The SOC oversees a large number of server resources, such
as CPU, system processes, log files, TCP ports and disk space, and security
devices, such as firewalls.

Secure, Fault-Tolerant Data Centers. Our data centers have been engineered to
meet the highest expectations of our most demanding customers across our target
markets, including the particularly stringent requirements of the financial
industry.

Our data centers contain multiple, free-standing computer rooms to provide
containment and isolation. Separate mechanical rooms adjacent to each computer
room house cooling and mechanical equipment, eliminating the possible
introduction of liquid into the computer room from equipment leakage. We use
redundant uninterruptable power supply systems and redundant generators to
ensure that the power system is capable of maintaining power to the data center
in the event of any component failure. State-of-the-art physical security has
been implemented through tightly controlled security zones requiring both card
and biometric identification. Over 100 surveillance cameras record movement
through the data centers and security guards provide real-time visibility.
Cooling and environmental controls for each data center are designed to monitor
and ensure proper temperature and humidity levels. Finally, all
telecommunications connections enter the data centers through multiple points
from diverse service arrangements to ensure continued operation of service
without degradation in the unlikely event of a cable cut or local carrier
network outage.

Predictable Monthly Fees. We provide our services for predictable monthly
fees, enabling our customers to accurately budget costs for Web site hosting
services. These fees are typically contracted as part of one, two or three-year
agreements. These agreements often provide service level guarantees and permit
technology upgrades at any time during the life of a contract.

Digex Strategy

Our objective is to maintain our leadership position in the industry and
continue to shape and lead the global market for hosting complex Web sites. We
intend to accomplish this by delivering secure, scalable, high-performance Web
site hosting solutions. Our business strategy focuses on the following:

Expand Our Premier Web Hosting Capabilities. We are currently expanding the
capacity of our east and west coast data centers. We intend to continue to add
data center capacity over the next five years as justified

35
<PAGE>

by customer demand. We believe our ability to readily grow and scale our
operations while simultaneously maintaining the highest service levels will
allow us to continue to attain higher revenues, lower marginal unit costs and
higher operating margins. The following are among the key initiatives we have
instituted to maintain the quality and scalability of our operations:

. Our Distributed Internet Server Array ("DISA") architecture is
specifically designed to facilitate Web site operating scalability. DISA
unifies interrelated layers of hardware and software around industry
standard solutions. Our customers are strongly encouraged to adopt the
DISA architecture in implementing their Web initiatives. The consistency
and reliability afforded by our DISA architecture facilitates rapid and
cost-efficient implementation of our customers' Web hosting initiatives.
Other Web hosting companies typically have opted not to standardize
their operating architectures. The resulting multiple architectures
significantly complicate and limit the flexibility of their operations.

. Our technical staff includes over 40 Microsoft certified engineers, as
well as technical experts certified by Cisco Systems and Sun
Microsystems. We believe this makes our technical staff among the most
highly skilled and trained in the Web hosting industry. Based on
comments by our customers, we believe our technical staff affords us a
competitive advantage and has been instrumental in attracting many of
our Fortune 2000 customers. In addition, we believe the depth and scope
of our staff's technical skill base is essential to our ability to
maintain our high quality service levels. To attract and retain these
individuals, we offer competitive financial incentives, in-house and
external training programs, and the opportunity to work with cutting-
edge technology.

. The Digex Central Nervous System ("DCNS") is our end-to-end integrated
customer relationship management system. Currently, DCNS provides
support for key customer care functions like sales management, contract
management, order entry, product fulfillment, problem management, and
billing. It serves as a repository for information about the customer
and a customer's Web site. Future enhancements include Web-enabling
DCNS. This will allow customers to access and view the status of their
account on-line. We believe this functionality will increase customer
satisfaction while reducing customer service costs.

Address Industry-Specific Customer Needs. Our marketing and operating
strategy is designed to exploit our expertise in addressing the unique,
industry-specific needs of our targeted customer base. This targeted customer
base is comprised of companies and agencies in the following industries:
financial services and insurance, media and entertainment, manufacturing,
travel and hospitality, retail and distribution, technology and communications,
healthcare, and government. We have chosen to focus on these specific
industries because we believe they have the highest propensity to outsource
complex, mission-critical Web sites. We believe this strategy provides a number
of benefits including:

. the ability to realize cost efficiencies by developing industry-specific
Web solutions that form the basis for serving other customers in the
same or similar industries;

. the ability to develop industry expertise which will enable us to
proactively address the needs of our customers, thereby differentiating
Digex from the competition; and

. development of a referenceable customer base that validates our
industry-specific Web solutions and expertise.

In conjunction with this strategy, we have designated teams consisting of
individuals from our sales, technical and customer support divisions to focus
exclusively on those specific industries which comprise our target market.

Develop Next Generation Service Offerings. As the underlying technology and
functionality of Web-based products evolve, we believe customers will
continuously demand new service offerings. We believe the depth of our Web site
management skills positions Digex to be a leading provider of next generation
Web-based service offerings. The following are among the new service
initiatives we are currently pursuing:

. Web-Enabled Business Applications. We believe Web hosting will become a
vehicle and platform for operating and supporting leading packaged
software applications that can be used for such common business
processes as e-commerce, sales force automation, customer support and
human

36
<PAGE>

resource management. We intend to continue partnering with various
software developers, systems integrators and information technology
firms that own and develop these business applications by providing the
Web hosting platform to deliver their applications over the Web. To
date, we focus on providing applications which address the following
areas:

. electronic commerce solutions, such as on-line storefronts, including
electronic catalogs and shopping carts;

. business intelligence solutions, such as analytic applications to
mine corporate data warehouses;

. relationship management solutions, such as customer acquisition,
self-service, and self-sales applications;

. human resources solutions, such as recruiting, training and on-line
benefits applications;

. finance and accounting solutions, such as billing and time-tracking
applications; and

. supply chain management solutions, such as procurement, trading and
other intercompany applications.

. Value-added, Recurring Services. We have developed various value-added
services, which we believe significantly enhance the availability and
effectiveness of our customers' Web sites. Examples of these services
are testing, security, database, reporting and intranet service
offerings. We intend to continue developing services that improve the
effectiveness of Web sites and optimize their performance.

. Proactive Customer Service Management. We believe our hardware and
software monitoring capabilities uniquely position us to anticipate the
Web site hosting needs of our existing customers. We are developing new
tools which will both facilitate the identification of problems with a
customer's existing Web site hosting platform and alert client managers
to the Digex services that can be used to address these issues and
optimize Web site performance.

Expand Capabilities Through Selective Strategic Partnering and
Acquisitions. We currently have business partnership alliances with over 120
Web design and development companies and interactive media agencies. These
businesses typically partner with Digex because our high quality services
support and augment, rather than compete with, their own product and service
offerings. Together with our business partners, we can provide our customers
with end-to-end Web site solutions. In 1998, we created the Digex e-Link
Partner Program(TM), which continues to attract leading interactive media and
Web development companies such as Proxicom, Sapient, Studio Archetype and
Agency.com. In addition, we are planning to launch the Digex app-Link Partner
Program(TM) in order to expand our partnership alliances to include systems
integrators, value-added resellers and consultants. Our partnership programs
provide a valuable, cost-effective channel for our services as well as a
highly productive customer referral source.

In addition, we may seek to opportunistically acquire companies which we
believe will enable us to cost-effectively augment our existing products and
services, technology, infrastructure, skill set, geographic presence or
customer base.

Digex Services

We offer a full range of complementary value-added services designed to
handle the rapidly evolving requirements of complex Web sites. Our services
include the following:

. Web site management services;

. integrated business solutions;

. enterprise services; and

. consulting services.

<PAGE>

Our Integrated Business Solutions specifically target six distinct functional
solution areas: electronic commerce, business intelligence, relationship
management, human resources, finance and accounting solutions and supply chain
management. We provide application rental, application hosting services and
compelling service level guarantees to our customers. The key benefits of these
solutions include:

. installation and maintenance of pre-configured and pre-tested bundles of
the solution on a hardware configuration that handles predicted user
capacity;

. application software rental and upgrades;

. dedicated support personnel;

. advanced data recovery and storage options for the specific application
and database; and

. special rates on other Digex products and services.

Our Integrated Business Solutions services are detailed as follows:

Electronic Commerce Solutions. Our electronic commerce solutions enable
businesses to directly sell products and services over the Internet to create
an on-line storefront, including electronic catalogs and shopping carts. These
solutions include options for order processing, fulfillment, invoicing, and
payment. Digex's private networking products permit businesses to connect their
commerce Web sites to various payment processing centers and private corporate
information systems ensuring customers secure routing of payment information
and transaction processing.

The Pandesic e-Business Solution(TM) is our first electronic commerce
solution offering. Pandesic is a joint venture between SAP and Intel, offering
end-to-end commerce functionality for businesses. Today, Digex manages over 45
customers using the Pandesic solution, representing over 100 servers.

Business Intelligence Solutions. Our business intelligence solutions will
provide customers fast and easy access to corporate information using analytic
applications to mine corporate electronic data warehouses. By leveraging the
Internet and Digex's business intelligence solutions, businesses empower
executives, employees, shareholders, partners, and others with access to up-to-
date information. We believe these applications facilitate sophisticated
analysis and real-time monitoring of important indicators to assist companies
in their decision making processes.

Relationship Management Solutions. Our relationship management solutions will
provide customers with the ability to extend critical business information to
sales personnel and customers. These solutions include customer acquisition,
self-service and self-sales applications.

Human Resources Solutions. Our human resources solutions will provide
customers with the ability to take advantage of the Internet to extend human
resource functionality to employees anywhere, anytime. Companies will be able
to improve their ability to manage open positions, performing activities such
as recruiting and training and to allow employees to access on-line and modify
benefits and other personal information.

Finance and Accounting Solutions. Our finance and accounting solutions will
provide customers with support for accounting, billing, compensation, time
tracking, and other financial management functions. For example, Digex can
manage a company's time and expense reporting application to provide global
access for employees to enter time sheets and expense reports.

Supply Chain Management Solutions. Our supply chain management solutions will
provide customers with application solutions that help businesses improve the
effectiveness and reliability of a company's supply chain system. Using the
Internet as the vehicle, these solutions can extend a company's supply chain
management system to otherwise cost-prohibitive partners, improving performance
and lowering costs.

Enterprise Services

Our enterprise services help companies deploy and maintain effective Web
sites. We believe these value-added, repeatable services will become
increasingly important to our customers as they look to ensure a higher level
of Web site availability, security and reporting. Our enterprise services
include the following:

Testing Services. Our testing services aim to identify problems that could
degrade the expected performance and availability of a customer's Web site. For
example, our stress testing services simulate users accessing a Web site to
provide information for isolating problems, optimizing performance and
accelerating the deployment of Web sites.

Reporting Services. Our reporting services are designed to provide timely,
reliable information about user activity on a customer's Web site. Businesses
can use these reports to assess the effectiveness of their Web sites and to
increase their knowledge of the preferences, habits and demographic
characteristics of their Web site visitors.

Security Services. Our security services are designed to ensure the security
of a customer's Web site. These services include firewalls, encryption and
authentication devices.

Database Services. Our database services provide the installation,
configuration, maintenance and support of leading databases.

Consulting Services

Our consulting services provide customized assistance to customers with
unique architecture, deployment or maintenance requirements. These services
include high-availability design, performance tuning, site architecture
assessment, migration planning, capacity planning, disaster recovery planning
and database optimization. Our consulting services typically assist customers
with limited resources or who lack Internet and technical expertise. Our
consulting engagements typically range from a few hours to a few weeks
depending on the complexity and volume of the services needed. We believe our
consulting services will play an increasingly important role in supporting the
implementation and maintenance of complex Web sites as customers continue to
rapidly adopt emerging technologies.

Customers

We have a large and diverse customer base ranging from Fortune 50 companies
to small and medium size businesses that rely heavily on the Internet. Our
customers are primarily located within the United States. As of July 1, 1999,
we were serving over 500 customers, covering most major industries. Our
customer contracts typically range in duration from one to three years. The
majority of our customers operate in industries which fall within our key
targeted industry segments and include the following well-known companies:

In the past few years, Digex's growth has come from new clients, as well as
existing clients whose Web sites have evolved to become increasingly more
strategic to their overall business goals and objectives.

Sales, Marketing and Service Delivery

Our sales objective is to achieve broad market penetration by focusing on
market segments which, we believe, have both a high propensity to outsource and
to deploy complex, mission-critical Web sites. We sell our services directly
through a highly-skilled professional sales force and receive referrals through
an extensive network of business partners.

Direct Sales. As of April 1, 1999, our direct sales force consisted of over
60 experienced, quota-bearing sales representatives. We have organized the
sales force into three units: major accounts, mid-market/Web-centric, and
alternate channel. The major accounts unit focuses on Fortune 2000 companies
and is aligned by industry. The mid-market/Web-centric unit addresses the large
and growing number of referrals coming from our regionally based business
partners, and is organized into three geographic regions: eastern, central and
western United States. Our alternate channel sales group works closely with our
business alliance solutions partners, such as Pandesic. Supporting each of
these units is a site engineering team that provides pre-sales technical
support, including requirements gathering, configuration support, site
architecture, and project management.

Strategic Partners--The Digex e-Link Partner ProgramTM. In 1998, we created
the Digex e-Link Partner Program(TM), which, we believe, has attracted some of
the leading interactive media and Web site development companies to partner
with Digex. To date, our business partners include such companies as Proxicom,
Agency.com, Xerox Connect and T3 Media. We currently have over 120 business
partnership alliances that are a significant source of sales leads and
opportunities. These business partners include Web site developers, Web site
designers, interactive and new media agencies, and systems integrators. We
collaborate, instead of compete, with our partners and complement each other's
skills in an effort to bring the best overall solution to our customers.
Typically, in these collaborative relationships, we focus on Web site hosting,
while our strategic partners concentrate on Web site design, development and
systems integration.

The success of this program has encouraged us to develop the Digex app-Link
Partner Program(TM). The Digex app-Link Partner Program(TM) will target
consultants and systems integrators, value-added hardware resellers and
application solution providers. Our partnership programs provide incentives to
refer business to us, and we often work together with our partners directly
with the client. Our strategy is to continue leveraging our partners as a
referral channel and a source for identifying market trends and emerging
customer requirements.

Marketing. We intend to continue our transformation into a highly focused,
market driven company. Our marketing organization is responsible for building
Digex's brand awareness, identifying key target markets and developing
innovative services to meet the evolving demands of the marketplace. Another
objective of our marketing effort is to stimulate the demand for Digex services
through a broad range of marketing communications and public relations
activities. Our primary communication vehicles include advertising, trade
shows, direct response programs, event sponsorship and the Digex Web sites.

Data Center Infrastructure

We presently operate two highly secure, fault-tolerant data centers
specifically designed for the 24-hour a day hosting of Web sites and Web-based
applications. Our east coast data center is strategically located near major
network access points in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Our west coast
data center is situated near the western network access points and the
headquarters of many of our strategic technology providers. We are expanding
our total data center capacity to approximately 200,000 square feet in 1999,
and expect to add additional data center capacity over the next five years as
appropriate to meet anticipated customer and market demand.

Our data centers combine the predictability and control of traditional
mainframe-based data centers with the network access and capacity required for
today's Internet-based computing. Our data centers are designed to provide
consistently high service levels while permitting customers to rapidly deploy
new and strategic applications without substantially increasing cost or
incurring risk.

41
<PAGE>

The physical infrastructure and security controls of our data centers have
been designed to support rigorous requirements for secure data storage and
processing. Specifically, our data centers offer the following major physical
benefits to our customers:

.state-of-the-art physical security;

.multi-redundant mechanics, utilities and environmental controls;

.high-performance multi-network points of presence (WebPOPs); and

.fully-integrated customer work areas.

State-of-the-art physical security. Our data centers include multiple
separate computer rooms offering customers a high degree of containment and
isolation from accidents or disasters occurring within or outside of each data
center. Physical security has been implemented through tightly controlled
security zones requiring both access card and biometric identification. Each
data center has five security zones that require separate access levels to gain
entry. Our highest security zones include computer rooms physically constructed
as a building-within-a-building, with fire suppression and other controls
separate from the remainder of the data center. Fencing above the ceiling and
below the raised floor isolate each security zone. Over 100 surveillance
cameras record movement through the data centers and security guards provide
real-time visibility. Our cooling towers are surrounded by security fences and
monitored by cameras. Our dual 20,000 gallon diesel fuel tanks are safely
buried underground.

Multi-redundant mechanics, utilities and environmental controls. Within each
data center, separate mechanical rooms exist adjacent to each computer room.
These mechanical rooms house all cooling and mechanical equipment, eliminating
the possible introduction of liquid into the computer rooms from equipment
leakage. We use redundant uninterruptable power supply systems and redundant
generators, to ensure the power system is capable of maintaining power to the
data center in the event of any component failure. Cooling and environmental
controls for each data center are designed to monitor and ensure proper
temperature and humidity.

High-performance WebPOPs. Our data centers include physically separated
WebPOPs, which are network points of presence within our data centers. These
WebPOPs provide high-performance, reliable networking connectivity to multiple
national Internet backbone carriers for our customers. Telecommunications
circuits enter the data centers through multiple points from diverse service
providers. Multiple points of presence ensure continued operation of service
without degradation in the unlikely event of a cable cut or local carrier
network outage.

Fully-integrated customer work areas. Our data centers include separate,
private customer work areas. These work areas are isolated from the security
zones that house our servers, permitting customers to work on-site as
necessary. These work areas provide computing and personal resources, such as
customer breakrooms and wash areas.

Competition

The market served by Digex is highly competitive. There are few substantial
barriers to entry, and we expect to face additional competition from existing
competitors and new market entrants in the future. The principal competitive
factors in this market include:

. quality of services and scalability of infrastructure;

. network capacity, reliability, security and adaptability to new
technologies;

. Internet system engineering expertise;

. quality of customer service and support;

. relationships with marketing partners and vendors;

42
<PAGE>

. variety of services offered;

. price;

. product innovation;

. financial resources; and

. brand name.

Our current and potential competitors in the market include:

. Web hosting service providers;

. local, regional, national and international ISPs;

. local, regional, national and international telecommunications
companies; and

. large information technology outsourcing firms.

Our competitors may operate in one or more of these areas and include
companies such as AboveNet Communications, AT&T, Cable & Wireless, Concentric
Network, EDS, Exodus Communications, Frontier/GlobalCenter, Globix, GTE, Intel,
Level 3 Communications, MCI WorldCom, PSINet, IBM, Qwest Communications
International, and USinternetworking.

We believe our experience and reputation for delivering high quality, complex
Web site hosting services differentiate us from our key competitors. We focus
on our core competency of Web site and application hosting as opposed to
offering hosting as a complement to a wide range of communication services. We
believe we have defined and offer the industry's most complete set of functions
required to configure, engineer, implement and maintain complex, transactional
Web sites. We believe our DISA architecture, data centers, and technical team
distinguish us from our competition and enable us to provide among the highest
quality end-to-end complex Web site hosting solutions.

Intellectual Property Rights

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, service mark and trade
secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect certain
proprietary rights in our data, applications and services. We have no patented
technology that would bar competitors from our market. We also rely on certain
technologies we license from third parties, such as Microsoft, Netscape and
Micromuse. There can be no assurance these third-party technology licenses will
continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The loss of
such technology could require us to obtain substitute technology of lower
quality or performance standards or at greater cost, which could harm our
business. However, other than our trademarks and service marks, we do not
believe that the loss of any particular one of our intellectual property rights
would harm our business.

Government Regulation

We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local government
regulation, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. There is
currently only a small body of laws and regulations directly applicable to
access to or commerce on the Internet.

Congress recently enacted the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which became
effective in October 1998. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act includes a
limitation on liability of on-line service providers for copyright infringement
for transmitting, routing, or providing connections, transient storage, caching
or storage at the direction of a user. This limitation on liability applies if
the service provider had no actual knowledge or awareness that the transmitted
or stored material was infringing and if certain other conditions are met.
Since this law is new, we are unsure of how it will be applied to limit any
liability we may face in the future for any possible copyright infringement or
copyright-related issues. This new law also requires ISPs to follow certain
"notice and take-down" procedures in order to be able to take advantage of the
limitation on liability. We have not yet implemented such procedures nor
evaluated the cost of complying with them. However, our customers

43
<PAGE>

are subject to an acceptable use policy which prohibits them from posting,
transmitting or storing material on or through any of our services which, in
our sole judgment is (1) in violation of any local, state, federal or foreign
law or regulation, (2) threatening, obscene, indecent or defamatory or that
otherwise could adversely affect any individual, group or entity or (3) in
violation of the intellectual property rights or other rights of any person.
Although this policy is designed to promote the security, reliability and
privacy of our systems and network, there is no assurance that our policy will
accomplish this goal or shield us from liability under the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act.

Despite enactment of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, the law relating to
the liability of on-line services companies and Internet access providers for
information carried on or disseminated through their networks remains largely
unsettled. It is possible claims could be made against on-line services
companies and Internet access providers under both United States and foreign
law for defamation, obscenity, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement,
or other theories based on the nature and content of the materials disseminated
through their networks. Several private lawsuits seeking to impose such
liability upon on-line services companies and Internet access providers are
currently pending.

Although sections of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 that proposed to
impose criminal penalties on anyone distributing indecent material to minors
over the Internet were held to be unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court,
similar laws may be proposed, adopted and upheld. The nature of future
legislation and the manner in which it may be interpreted and enforced cannot
be fully determined and, therefore, legislation similar to the Communications
Decency Act could subject us and/or our customers to potential liability, which
in turn could harm our business. The adoption of any of these types of laws or
regulations might decrease the growth of the Internet, which in turn could
decrease the demand for our services or increase our cost of doing business or
in some other manner harm our business.

Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is likely a
number of additional laws and regulations may be adopted at the federal, state
and local levels with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user
privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, characteristics and quality of
products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights,
information security and the convergence of traditional telecommunications
services with Internet communications. The adoption of any such laws or
regulations might decrease the growth of the Internet, which in turn could
decrease the demand for our services or increase the cost of doing business or
in some other manner harm our business. In addition, applicability to the
Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership,
copyrights and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity
and personal privacy is uncertain. The vast majority of such laws were adopted
prior to the advent of the Internet and related technologies and, as a result,
do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related
technologies.

Employees

As of April 1, 1999, we employed approximately 420 full-time employees. None
of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe
that our employee relations are good.

Properties

We currently share leased space with Intermedia totaling approximately 80,000
square feet in two buildings in Beltsville, Maryland. These facilities house
our east coast data center, our executive and administrative offices, and our
regional sales office. During the third quarter of 1999, we expect to relocate
to two different leased buildings in Beltsville, Maryland occupying a total of
approximately 122,000 square feet. We also lease a total of approximately
76,000 square feet in two other buildings--one in Cupertino, California, and
one in San Jose, California. These house our west coast data facilities and
regional sales office. We believe that our properties are adequate and suitable
for their intended purposes.

Legal Proceedings

We do not believe that there are any pending or threatened legal proceedings
that, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on us.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Digex Long-Term Incentive Plan, adopted on July 23, 1999, permits awards
of stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other
stock-based awards as incentives to our current and prospective employees,
officers, directors and consultants, and those of our subsidiaries or of any
person that owns over 50% of the voting power of our authorized and outstanding
voting shares. However, only our employees are eligible for grants of incentive
stock options.

The Digex Long-Term Incentive Plan, also known as the "Plan," is administered
by the compensation committee of our board of directors, the members of which
consist solely of two or more members of the board who are "Non-Employee"
directors under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and "outside directors" under
the Rule 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The compensation committee has
the authority to select those employees, officers, directors and consultants
whose performances it determines significantly promote our success to receive
discretionary awards under the Plan, grant the awards, interpret and determine
all questions of policy pertaining to the Plan, adopt rules, regulations,
agreements and instruments deemed necessary for its proper administration and
take any and all other actions deemed necessary or desirable for the proper
administration of the Plan and to effectuate its purposes. In regards to
options, the board has the authority to determine who will receive options, the
time at which options will be granted, the number of shares subject to any
option, the exercise price of an option, the time or times at which the options
will become vested and exercisable, and the duration of the option.

The shares of Digex subject to the Plan are authorized but unissued shares of
our Class A Common Stock or treasury stock. No more than 9,000,000 shares of
our Class A Common Stock may be issued under the Plan.

Discretionary Awards:

Stock Options. Awards of stock options grant a right to buy a specified
number of shares of Class A Common Stock at a fixed exercise price during a
specified time, all as the compensation committee may determine.

Incentive Stock Options. Awards may be of incentive stock options, within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any
successor section. Subject to adjustment, the aggregate number of shares which
may be subject to incentive stock options awards under the Plan shall not
exceed 9,000,000 shares.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Awards of stock appreciation rights grant a right,
which may or may not be contained in the grant of a stock option or incentive
stock option, to receive in cash, or its equivalent value in Class A Common
Stock, the excess of the fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock
on the date the right is surrendered over the option exercise price or other
price specified by agreement.

Restricted Shares. Restricted shares are shares of Class A Common Stock
granted to a participant of the Plan that are subject to forfeiture until
certain restrictions, terms and conditions as the compensation committee may
determine are fulfilled.

Dividend or Equivalent. An award of dividends grants a participant the right
to receive dividends or their equivalent in value in Class A Common Stock, cash
or a combination of both.

Stock Award. Class A Common Stock may be issued to a Plan participant. Such
awards can be granted on a contingent basis.

Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Class A Common Stock-based awards that serve
the same function as the foregoing awards may be granted.

53
<PAGE>

Formula Awards:

Pursuant to the Plan, in addition to any discretionary awards granted to non-
employee directors, and subject to certain restrictions, additional grants of
non-incentive stock options shall be awarded to non-employee directors based on
the following formula: stock options to acquire 25,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock shall be granted on the effective date of this prospectus or, with
respect to non-employee directors not serving in such capacity on the foregoing
date, on the date the director is elected to the board of directors,
exercisable, so long as the non-employee director continues to be a member of
the board of directors, as to 8,334 of the shares on the January 1 following
the date the stock option is granted and as to an additional 8,333 shares on
January 1 of each of the two years thereafter. If a non-employee director fails
to attend 75% of the board meetings in any calendar year, he or she will
forfeit the right to exercise that portion of the options which would have been
exercisable on the next following January 1.

Non-employee directors shall also be granted a stock option to acquire 5,000
shares of Class A Common Stock on the effective date of this prospectus or,
with respect to non-employee directors not serving in such capacity on the
foregoing date, on the date the director is elected to the board of directors,
and on each anniversary thereof which options shall be immediately exercisable
upon grant.

Upon a change of control of Digex or Intermedia, options granted to all non-
employee directors shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable and
will continue to be exercisable through the expiration date of the grant. All
stock options granted pursuant to either of the foregoing formulas shall be
granted at the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock (the initial price
to the public in the case of options issued on the effective date of this
prospectus) on the date the options are granted and shall expire on the earlier
of the fifth anniversary of the date the options were granted or on the first
anniversary of the date the non-employee director ceases to be a member of the
board of directors.

General:

If a Plan participant's employment or other relationship with us is
terminated for any other reason besides death or "for cause"or voluntarily by
the participant without the consent of Digex, Intermedia or one of our
subsidiaries, and the participant is thereafter not employed by us or does not
then have a relationship with us, any options granted to the participant under
the Plan may be exercised by the participant at any time within three months of
such termination, to the extent the participant was entitled to exercise the
options at the time of the termination.

A change in the control of Digex or Intermedia will accelerate the date upon
which the options will become exercisable to the extent and under the terms set
forth in the Plan.

The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be granted to a
single participant in the Plan in any single year is 1,000,000. Additionally,
no award shall be assignable.

The Plan may be terminated, modified or amended by the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the votes of our outstanding shares of capital
stock present or represented and entitled to vote at a duly held stockholders'
meeting. The board of directors may terminate the Plan or make modifications or
amendments, provided that the board of directors cannot make any amendment to
the Plan increasing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by the
Plan without prior approval by the holders of common stock having a majority of
the voting power thereof present and entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders. No termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may
adversely affect the rights previously conferred by an award under the Plan
without the consent of the recipient.

The Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the effective date of
this prospectus.

Indemnifications of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of
Liability

Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the
personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

.for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
stockholders;

. for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

. under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regarding
unlawful dividends and stock purchases; or

. for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

These provisions are permitted under Delaware law.

Our bylaws provide that:

. we must indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to certain very
limited exceptions; and

. we must advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and executive
officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware Law, subject to certain very limited exceptions.

Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to enter into
indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers to
give them additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the
indemnification described above and to provide additional procedural
protections. Generally, pursuant to each indemnification agreement, Digex will
indemnify a director or officer who is or was a party to any legal action by or
against the indemnitee due to his or her position as a Digex director or
officer, known as the "indemnitee," against the expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement that were actually and reasonably incurred by the
indemnitee in connection with such legal action, provided that such indemnitee
acted in good faith and in a manner not opposed to the best interests of Digex.

We also participate in Intermedia's directors' and officers' insurance
providing $40 million in indemnification coverage for our directors, officers
and certain employees for certain liabilities. The coverage under that policy
is being increased to $50 million.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate
of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit
against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also have the
effect of reducing the likelihood or derivative litigation against directors
and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise
benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be
adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage
awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification
provisions.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors,
officers or employees regarding which indemnification is sought, nor are we
aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for
indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Digex pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We have entered into the General and Administrative Services Agreement and
several network services agreements with Intermedia. These agreements are
described below. The General and Administrative Services Agreement and certain
parts of the network services agreements are included as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

General and Administrative Services Agreement

Under the General and Administrative Services Agreement, Intermedia will
provide us with a variety of general and administrative services, including:

. finance, accounting and administration services, collections and accounts
receivable services, financial planning and analysis, investor relations
and corporate development;

. human resources services;

. legal services;

. information management services; and

. insurance coverage and related services.

The General and Administrative Services Agreement provides for a two-year
initial term. We may terminate the agreement on 90-days prior notice at any
time after Intermedia no longer owns more than 50% of the voting power of our
outstanding common stock.

The General and Administrative Services Agreement provides that during the
first year of the agreement, we will pay to Intermedia fees totaling
$16,500,000 for the services provided. Thereafter, the fee payable by us will
be decreased monthly based on an assessment of the cost of personnel hired by
us during the preceding month to perform certain of the functions internally.

Material amendments and modifications to the General and Administrative
Services Agreement and any extensions of its term are required to be approved
by a majority of our directors who are not officers or directors of Intermedia.

Intermedia has advised us that the fees payable by Digex to Intermedia under
the General and Administrative Services Agreement are intended to approximate
Intermedia's estimated costs of providing the covered services to Digex.
Because it is not practical to obtain quotes for all of these services from
third parties, we cannot determine whether, and there can be no assurance that,
the terms of the General and Administrative Services Agreement are as favorable
to us as would result from an arm's length negotiation with an unrelated third
party.

Network Services Agreements

We have entered into the following agreements with Intermedia, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Business Internet, for a variety of Internet access,
network and firewall installation and management services: two Internet transit
services agreements and a managed firewall reseller agreement.

The two Internet transit service agreements provide, among other things,
that:

. we will purchase and Intermedia will provide to us a certain data transit
capacity;

. we will be treated as a most favored customer entitled to rates and fees
as low as those granted by Intermedia to any other customer purchasing
substantially similar services;

. the agreements will have an initial term of two years which will be
automatically renewed for successive one year periods unless either we or
Intermedia elects not to renew by giving 30-days prior notice;

56
<PAGE>

. Intermedia has made certain service level commitments to us covering both
network availability and performance; and

. if we do not renew the agreements for at least one renewal term, we will
be liable to Intermedia for any termination charges assessed against
Intermedia by local access providers for the early termination of local
access circuits purchased by Intermedia for the provision of services to
us.

We expect to pay Intermedia a total of approximately $7.4 million for
Internet transit services during the first year of these agreements.

The managed firewall reseller agreement provides, among other things, for:

. certain service level commitments covering both service availability and
performance; and

. continuous access by Intermedia to any equipment owned by Intermedia
deployed at any of our facilities.

Under this agreement, we will pay over to Intermedia all amounts we receive
from our customers for these services.

We believe the terms of the network services agreements are at least as
favorable to us as they would be under similar arrangements between Digex and
an unrelated third party.

Sale of Telecommunications Related Assets to Intermedia

We are subject to certain restrictions under the Intermedia indentures, as
described under "Risk Factors -- Digex is controlled by Intermedia, which could
involve some risks for you as a stockholder--We depend on Intermedia to fund
our working capital and operating losses, but Intermedia's ability to fund
these needs is limited by its own substantial indebtedness." Due to such
restrictions, we will be required to use all of the net proceeds of this
offering to purchase Telecommunications Related Assets within 270 days of this
offering. We have entered into a letter agreement with Intermedia pursuant to
which Intermedia will purchase from us, at our cost, some of the
Telecommunications Related Assets purchased with the net proceeds of this
offering. Under the letter agreement, Intermedia is expected to pay us for the
Telecommunications Related Assets so purchased to the extent necessary out of
its funds that are not subject to restrictions under the indentures which we
will be able to use for working capital purposes and to fund operating losses.
See "Use of Proceeds."

Restructuring Transactions

In conjunction with this offering, Business Internet has contributed to us
the Web hosting business described in this prospectus in exchange for all the
shares of our Class B Common Stock.

Relationship with Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.

Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. is serving as joint lead managing underwriter of
this offering for Digex. Pierce J. Roberts, Jr., who is currently serving as a
Director of Digex, was an employee of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. until August
1998. Immediately prior to his departure from Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Mr.
Roberts served as a Senior Managing Director and head of the Global
Telecommunications Group.

Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. or its affiliates have provided and may in the
future provide investment banking or other financial services to Intermedia,
the parent company of Digex, and its affiliates in the ordinary course of
business, for which it has received and is expected to receive customary fees
and expenses. Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. has been an initial purchaser for
numerous issuances of securities by Intermedia.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Immediately following the closing of this offering, our authorized capital
stock will consist of 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, $.01 par
value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value
per share. At such time, all authorized shares of our Class B Common Stock will
be outstanding and owned by Intermedia through Business Internet, its wholly-
owned subsidiary.

The following summary is qualified by our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws, as they will be amended prior to the closing of this offering and which
are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part.

Common Stock

Shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are substantially
identical in all respects except that: (1) the holders of Class B Common Stock
are entitled to 10 votes per share, and the holders of Class A Common Stock are
entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders; and (2) each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into
one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and automatically
upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event. A "Conversion Event" is defined as a
direct or indirect transfer of beneficial ownership of Class B Common Stock to
any person or entity that does not control, is not controlled by and is not
under common control with Intermedia.

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any preferred stock
outstanding at the time, the holders of our outstanding shares of Common Stock
are entitled to receive dividends out of legally available assets at such times
and in such amounts as the board of directors from time to time may determine.
Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not authorized by our
certificate of incorporation, which means that the holders of a majority of the
votes can elect all of the directors then standing for election. The Common
Stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and, except as described in the
preceding paragraph with respect to Class B Common Stock, is not subject to
conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the
assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable
ratably among the holders of the Common Stock after payment of liquidation
preferences, if any, on any outstanding preferred stock and payment of other
claims of creditors. Each outstanding share of Common Stock, and all Common
Stock paid for after this offering, is duly and validly issued, and fully paid
and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

The board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed
by Delaware law, to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more
series. The board of directors can fix the rights, preferences and privileges
of the shares of each series and any qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereon.

The board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with
voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or
other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock,
while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other
corporate purposes could, among other things, under certain circumstances, have
the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Digex.
We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law concerning corporate takeovers. This section prevents certain
Delaware corporations from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a
"business combination," which includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of the
corporation's assets, with any "interested stockholder," or a stockholder who
owns 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock, as well as
affiliates and associates of any such persons, for three years following the
date that such stockholder became an "interested stockholder" unless:

61
<PAGE>

. the transaction in which such stockholder became an "interested
stockholder" is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the
"interested stockholder" attained such status;

. upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder's
becoming an "interested stockholder," the "interested stockholder" owned
at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the
time the transaction commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons
who are directors and also officers; or

. on or subsequent to such date the "business combination" is approved by
the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of
stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the
outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the "interested
stockholder."

This statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change-in-
control attempts with respect to Digex and, accordingly, may discourage
attempts to acquire us.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for our Class A Common Stock is Continental
Stock Transfer and Trust Company, located at Two Broadway, New York, New York
10004, with a telephone number of (212) 509-4000.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of
10,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock, assuming no exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option, and 50,000,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock. All shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of our
Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis, at any time at the option of the
holder or upon a direct or indirect transfer to any person or entity not
affiliated with Intermedia. All of the shares sold in this offering will be
freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act, unless such shares are purchased by "affiliates" as that term
is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The 50,000,000 shares of Class
B Common Stock, and the shares of Class A Common Stock into which they are
convertible, held by Intermedia are "restricted securities" as that term is
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may be sold
in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption
from registration under Rule 144 or 701 promulgated under the Securities Act,
which rules are summarized below. Some of our shares are also subject to
contractual restrictions described below. Sales of restricted securities in the
public market, or the availability of such shares for sale, could adversely
affect the price of our Class A Common Stock.

Lock-Up Agreements

All of our officers, directors and stockholders have signed lock-up
agreements under which they agreed not to transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any shares of our Class A Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our Class A
Common Stock, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus.
Transfers or dispositions can be made sooner with the prior written consent of
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our
Class A Common Stock for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any
three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

. 1% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding,
which will equal approximately 100,000 shares immediately after this
offering; or

. the average weekly trading volume of the Class A Common Stock on the
Nasdaq National Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the
filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions
and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information
about us.

Rule 144(k)

Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our
affiliates at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has
beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years,
including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is
entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Therefore,
unless otherwise restricted, "144(k) shares" may be sold immediately upon the
completion of this offering.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, any
of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchases shares from us in
connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement
is eligible to resell such shares 90 days after the effective date of this
offering in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with certain
restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.

effective date of this prospectus, we filed a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering 9,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that are

registered under such registration statement will, subject to vesting
provisions and Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to our affiliates, be
available for sale in the open market immediately after the 180-day lock-up
agreements expire. As of the date hereof, we have granted options to purchase

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several
underwriters to purchase and accept delivery of the shares included in this
offering are subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel and to
customary conditions, including the effectiveness of the registration
statement, the continuing correctness of our representations to them, the
receipt of a "comfort letter" from our accountants, the listing of the Class A
Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market and no occurrence of an event that
would have a material adverse effect on our business. The underwriters are
obligated to purchase and accept delivery of all the shares, other than those
covered by the over-allotment option described below, if they purchase any of
the shares.

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from
the date of the underwriting agreement, to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional
shares at the public offering price less the underwriting fees. The
underwriters may exercise such option solely to cover over-allotments, if any,
made in connection with this offering. To the extent that the underwriters
exercise such option, each underwriter will become obligated,

65
<PAGE>

subject to conditions, to purchase a number of additional shares approximately
proportionate to such underwriter's initial purchase commitment.

The underwriters propose to initially offer some of the shares directly to
the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus and some of the shares to dealers at the public offering price less
a concession not in excess of $0.72 per share. The underwriters may allow, and
such dealers may re-allow, a concession not in excess of $0.10 per share on
sales to other dealers. After the initial offering of the shares to the public,
the representatives of the underwriters may change the public offering price
and such concessions. The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any
accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

The following table shows the underwriting fees to be paid to the
underwriters by us in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown
assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to
purchase additional shares of the Class A Common Stock.

At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial public
offering price up to 300,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock to be sold in
this offering for sale to certain persons designated by us. The number of
shares available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent
that any reserved shares are purchased. Any reserved shares not so purchased
will be offered by the underwriters on the same basis as the other shares
offered hereby.

DLJdirect Inc., an affiliate of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation and a managing underwriter, is making a prospectus in electronic
format available on its Internet Web site. The underwriters have agreed to
allocate a limited number of shares to DLJdirect for sale to its qualified
brokerage account holders. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the
information on such Web site is not part of this prospectus or the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or
endorsed by us or any underwriter in such capacity and should not be relied on
by prospective investors.

We have agreed that for a period of 180 days after the date of this
prospectus, we will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written
consent of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any
option to purchase, pledge or otherwise dispose (or announce any of the
foregoing) of any shares of our Class A Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our Class A Common Stock,
except for the shares offered by this prospectus, shares and options to
purchase shares under our 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan and shares in
connection with strategic relationships and acquisitions of businesses,
technologies and products complementary to ours, so long as recipients,
including transferees and assigns, of these shares agree to be bound by lock-up
agreements to remain in effect until the 180th day from the date of this
prospectus.

In order to facilitate the offering of the Class A Common Stock, the
underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the Class A Common Stock. Specifically, the
underwriters may over-allot shares of the Class A Common Stock in connection
with this offering, thereby creating a short position in the Class A Common
Stock for their own account. Additionally, to cover such over-allotments or to
stabilize the market price of the Class A Common Stock, the underwriters may
bid for, and purchase, shares of the Class A Common Stock in the open market.
Finally, the representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, also may reclaim
selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or dealer if the underwriting
syndicate repurchases shares distributed by that underwriter or dealer. Any of
these activities may maintain the market price of our Class A Common Stock at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The
underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and, if commenced,
may end any of these activities at any time.

66
<PAGE>

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Our Class A Common Stock has been approved for listing on the NASDAQ National
Market under the symbol "DIGX".

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A
Common Stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price for our Class A
Common Stock was determined by negotiation among us and the representatives of
the underwriters. Among the factors to be considered in determining the public
offering price were:

. prevailing market conditions;

. our results of operations in recent periods;

. the present stage of our development;

. the market capitalizations and stages of development of generally
comparable companies; and

. estimates of our business potential.

Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. or its affiliates have provided and may in the
future provide investment banking or other financial services to Intermedia,
the parent company of Digex, and its affiliates in the ordinary course of
business, for which it has received and is expected to receive customary fees
and expenses. To date, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. has been an initial purchaser
for numerous issuances of securities by Intermedia.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby will be
passed upon for us by Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman LLP, New York, New York.
Ralph J. Sutcliffe, a partner of Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman LLP,
beneficially owns 11,490 shares of common stock of Intermedia and owns a
warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of such common stock at an exercise price of
$20.75 per share. Intermedia is Digex's parent entity and will own
approximately 98% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock when this
offering is completed. Certain legal matters in connection with this offering
will be passed upon for the underwriters by Latham & Watkins, New York, New
York.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Digex, Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Digex, Incorporated
(formerly the Web site hosting unit of Business Internet, Inc.) as of December
31, 1997 and 1998, and the related statements of operations, changes in owner's
equity and cash flows for the period from July 7, 1997 (date of acquisition) to
December 31, 1997, and the year ended December 31, 1998. Our audits included
the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 16(b). These
financial statements and this schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Digex, Incorporated at
December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the period from July 7, 1997 (date of acquisition) to December 31,
1997 and the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Digex, Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated on April 26, 1999, under
the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company's business was operated as the
Web site hosting unit of Intermedia Communications Inc. ("Intermedia" or the
"Parent Company") since its acquisition by Intermedia on July 7, 1997. On that
date, Intermedia acquired Business Internet, Inc. (previously known as DIGEX,
Incorporated), including the Web site hosting unit (the "Predecessor"), in a
business combination accounted for as a purchase. The Web site hosting unit
presented in the accompanying financial statements had no legal status or
existence prior to the incorporation of the Company on April 26, 1999. The
financial statements of the legal Registrant have been omitted because the
Registrant did not commence operations until May 1, 1999. Prior to April 30,
1999, the Registrant had no assets or liabilities. See also Note 10, which
discloses the contribution of assets on April 30, 1999 by Business Internet,
Inc. to the Registrant.

The Company's operations began in January 1996 to provide complex Web hosting
services, principally to Fortune 2000 companies. The Company's services include
implementing and maintaining secure, scaleable, high-performance Web sites on
the Internet 24 hours a day. In addition, the Company provides a comprehensive
suite of Web management services, including business process solutions and
value-added testing services directed toward improving its customers' overall
Internet performance.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company reflect the carved-out
operations and financial position of the Web site hosting unit of Intermedia
for all periods since July 7, 1997. The accompanying financial statements of
the Predecessor reflect its operations and financial position from inception,
January 1, 1996, to July 6, 1997. As more fully discussed in Note 2, "Related
Party Transactions and Corporate Allocations," the financial statements for all
periods presented include allocations of network costs and corporate expenses.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, the equity activity of the
Company, prior to its incorporation, and the Predecessor has been accumulated
into a single disclosure caption entitled "Owner's Net Investment."

The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flow from its
operations for several years. As a result, the Company intends to seek funding
from external sources. Management of the Company and of Intermedia believe that
the proceeds of the offering described in Note 12 will be sufficient to meet
the Company's projected cash needs into the second half of 2000. In the event
the contemplated offering does not close, Intermedia, as the Company's indirect
parent, will fund the Company's cash requirements for a period of at least one
year. If the proceeds from the contemplated offering are ultimately less than
currently anticipated, management believes the Company can curtail operating
and capital outlays at levels sufficient to support the Company's current
operations. Intermedia will continue to fund the operating and capital
requirements of the Company until consummation of the offering.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
(Continued)

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Revenues principally consist of installation fees and monthly service fees
charged to customers under contracts having terms that typically range from one
to three years. Installation fees are recognized upon the customer-approved
completion of the Web site installation. Monthly service fees are recognized in
the month the service is rendered over the contract period. Certain customer
payments for Web site management services received in advance of service
delivery are deferred until the service is performed. Additional services are
recognized in the month the services are performed.

The Company's accounts receivable are financial instruments that expose the
Company to credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 105, Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with
Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit
Risk. Accounts receivable are due from commercial entities to whom credit is
extended based on evaluation of the customer's financial condition, and
generally collateral is not required. Anticipated credit losses are provided
for in the financial statements and have been within management's expectations
for all periods presented.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the property and equipment,
generally five years for equipment and up to fifteen years for leasehold
improvements. Equipment acquired under capital leases is amortized using the
straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful
life of the asset, generally five years. The cost of license agreements with
software vendors is amortized over five years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include assets that arose in connection with the purchase
of Business Internet by Intermedia. Identifiable intangible assets arising from
the purchase are stated at cost and consist of trade name, customer lists,
acquired workforce, developed technology and goodwill. Amortization of these
assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated periods of
benefit, generally five years for developed technologies and ten years for all
other intangible assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement on Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be
recoverable. This review consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the
asset with the asset's expected future undiscounted cash flows without interest
costs. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management's best
estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. If
the expected future cash flow exceeds the carrying value of the asset, no
impairment indicator is considered present. If the carrying value exceeds the
future cash flow, an impairment indicator is considered present. Such
impairment would be measured and recognized using a discounted cash flow
method.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts receivable
and accounts payable approximate their fair values.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense
amounted to $515, $2,016, $2,076, $2,544, $764 and $1,353 for the year ended
December 31, 1996, the period from January 1, 1997 to July 6, 1997, the period
from July 7, 1997 to December 31, 1997, the year ended December 31, 1998 and
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company's employees participated in the stock option plans of Intermedia.
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations, because the alternative fair value
accounting model provided under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), is not required.
Accordingly, in cases where exercise prices equal or exceed fair market value
of the underlying Intermedia common stock, the Company recognizes no
compensation expense. In cases where exercise prices are less than the fair
value, compensation is recognized over the period of performance or vesting
period.

Income Taxes

The operations of the Company and of the Predecessor were included in the
consolidated income tax returns of Intermedia and Business Internet,
respectively. For reporting purposes, the Company has used the asset and
liability method in accounting for income taxes, prescribed in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, except
that the presentation reflects the parent companies as if they were the taxing
jurisdictions. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The income
tax provision is calculated on a separate return basis.

Comprehensive Income

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This standard requires that total
comprehensive income (loss) be disclosed with equal prominence as net income.
Comprehensive income is defined as changes in stockholder's equity exclusive of
transactions with owners, such as capital contributions and dividends. The
Company and the Predecessor adopted this Standard in 1998 and implemented the
Standard for all years presented herein. The Company's and Predecessor's
comprehensive losses were equal to net losses for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

The Company and the Predecessor operated during all periods in a single
segment when applying the management approach defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information.

Pro Forma Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share of the Company has been
calculated using the weighted average common shares and dilutive equivalent
shares issued in connection with the Company's recapitalization as adjusted for
a 50,000-for-one stock split of Class B Common Stock to be effected prior to
the closing of the proposed public offering described in Note 12. These shares
are presumed outstanding for all periods of the Company presented.

2. Related Party Transactions and Corporate Allocations

The Predecessor and the Company utilized the central cash management systems
of Business Internet and Intermedia, respectively. Cash requirements during
these periods were satisfied by cash transactions and transfers that were
accounted for through an intercompany account. In addition, the parent
companies charged the Company for identifiable corporate and operating
expenses, such as network cost and corporate overhead cost. Intercompany
account balances for all periods presented have been treated as permanent
contributions and have been reflected as a component of owner's net investment
in the accompanying financial statements.

The following table summarizes corporate charges and allocations included in
the accompanying financial statements:

Management believes that the allocation methodology applied is reasonable.
However, it was not practicable to determine whether the allocated amounts
represent amounts that would have been incurred on a standalone basis.
Explanations of the composition and the method of allocation for the above
captions are as follows:

Cost of Operations

Allocated costs within this caption were the costs of telecommunications
backbone circuits. These costs were allocated to the Company based upon
estimated circuit usage and rate information.

Cost of Services

Allocated costs within this caption were the costs associated with two data
centers (maintenance, utilities and support and employment costs for network
engineering and support, and certain other overhead). These costs were
allocated based upon the employee base.

Selling, General and Administrative

Allocated costs within this caption were the costs of human resources,
information systems services, accounting and back office support, executive
salaries and other general and administrative costs, including rent. All costs
except accounting and back office support were allocated based upon the
employee base. Accounting and back office support were allocated based upon the
relative percentage of monthly recurring revenues.

5. Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

Under the provisions of the Intermedia 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (1996
Plan), certain employees and directors of the Company have been granted options
to buy shares of Intermedia common stock, generally at market value with terms
of five to ten years. Under the provisions of Business Internet's equity

Company, the net operating loss carryforwards will be limited such that no
benefit will enure to the newly formed corporation.

9. Business Combination

On July 7, 1997, Intermedia purchased the outstanding common stock of
Business Internet, a nationwide Internet services provider and Web site
management company in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. The
purchase price was allocated to the fair values of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, with the difference recorded as goodwill, which is being
amortized over ten years.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the
acquired assets and assumed net liabilities of the Company:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Estimated net fair values of operating assets and
liabilities................................................. $ (3,721)
Purchased intangible assets:
Trade name................................................. 9,750
Customer list.............................................. 3,120
Acquired workforce......................................... 1,253
Developed technologies..................................... 2,720
Goodwill................................................... 19,099
In-process research and development.......................... 15,000
--------
$ 47,221
========
</TABLE>

The amount allocated to in-process research and development ("IPR&D") of
$15,000 was recorded as a one-time charge to operations in 1997 because the
technology was not fully developed and had no alternative future use.
Management is primarily responsible for estimating the fair value of the
purchased IPR&D.

The fair value of the IPR&D was estimated by management using an income
approach. The value allocated to IPR&D was determined by estimating the costs
to develop the purchased technology into commercially viable services,
estimating the resulting net cash flows, excluding the cash flows related to
the portion that was incomplete at the acquisition date, and discounting the
net cash flows to the present value. The forecast was based upon future
discounted cash flows, taking into account the stage of development of the
IPR&D, the costs to develop the IPR&D, the expected income stream, the life
cycle of the technology ultimately developed, and the associated risks. The
selection of the applicable discount rate was based on consideration of the
costs of capital of Digex and Intermedia, as well as other factors including
the useful life of the technology, profitability levels, the uncertainty of
technology advances that were known at the time, and the stage of completion
related to the technology.

The IPR&D involved development, engineering, and testing activities
associated with the completion of next generation Web site management services.
The primary effort involved the development of an additional Web site
management facility on the West Coast. The development of technology related to
this project was considered critical to alleviating capacity constraints and
adding significant new service capabilities. Upon completion, the new Web site
management facility management facility was expected to result in faster and
easier installation of customers' servers as well as efficient traffic
management with significantly less overhead. Related efforts involved the
development and integration of next generation routers to support greater
transmission capacity, as well as a new software architecture to assist in
balancing traffic loads. Another critical element involved the development of
site mirroring, the ability to create exact replicas of Web sites at each of
Digex's two sites for greater service reliability.

At the valuation date, Digex was approximately 75% complete with the
development of its next generation Web site management services, and
substantial progress had been made in the areas of specification, design, and
implementation. In particular, engineers had made significant progress in the
areas of architecture

development as well as the development of site mirroring capabilities. The
Company anticipated that the R&D would be completed in phases by the end of
1998, after which the Company expected to begin generating economic benefits
from the value of the IPR&D. Total costs to complete were expected to be $100
for the remainder of 1997 and $400 in 1998. Projected future cash flows
attributable to Digex's IPR&D, assuming successful development of such
technologies, were discounted to the present value using a discount rate of
24%.

Intermedia management expected to continue development of the IPR&D efforts
at the valuation date, and believed there was a reasonable chance of
successfully completing such development. However, there was risk associated
with the completion of the IPR&D and there was no assurance that any of the
projects would meet with either technological or commercial success. Failure to
successfully develop and commercialize the IPR&D would result in the loss of
the expected economic return inherent in the fair value allocation.

On an unaudited pro forma basis, assuming the purchase had occurred at the
beginning of the 1997 year, total revenues would have been $11,612, net loss
would have been $(22,852) and net loss per share (basic and diluted) would have
been $(0.46), assuming that the recapitalization discussed in Note 10 had been
in effect for that period. However, pro forma results do not purport to be
indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of year.

10. Recapitalization and Affiliate Agreements (Unaudited)

Recapitalization

On April 26, 1999, the Company filed its Certificate of Incorporation in the
state of Delaware. Pursuant to the Certificate, the Company is authorized to
issue up to 9 shares of $.01 par value common stock, of which 6 will be
classified Class A and 3 Class B, and 0.1 shares of Preferred Stock. It is the
Company's intent to amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the
number of authorized shares of common stock to 150,000 including 100,000 Class
A shares and 50,000 Class B shares and to increase the number of authorized
shares of Preferred Stock to 5,000 shares. The Class A and Class B common stock
will be identified in all respects except that the Class A will be entitled to
one vote for each share and the Class B will be entitled to ten votes for each
share. In addition, on April 30, 1999, Business Internet contributed the
Company's assets to the newly formed corporation. The unaudited pro forma
balance sheet at March 31, 1999 reflect the pro forma effect of this
recapitalization.

Network Services Agreements

Pursuant to several network services agreements, to be finalized before
consummation of the offering as described in Note 12, between Intermedia and
the Company, Intermedia will provide Internet network access, as well as
network-related services. These Agreements have an initial term of two years.
Rates charged to the Company will generally be consistent with rates incurred
during the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.

.Tax services, including tax return preparation

.Accounting and back office support services

.Investor relations

.Information management services

The General and Administrative Services Agreement has an initial term of two
years. Rates charged to the Company for these services are believed to be
consistent with the allocations in the accompanying financial statements. Rates
for services not previously provided to the Company (e.g. investor relations)
are based upon Intermedia and the Company's best estimate of the fair value of
those services.

11. Segments

As a provider of Web site hosting service, the Company has one reportable
operating segment. The revenue of this single segment is derived from service
offerings as reported in the Company's statement of operations. Substantially
all of the Company's revenue is attributable to customers in the United States.
Additionally, all of the Company's assets are located within the United States.

12. Proposed Public Offering of Common Stock (Unaudited)

The Board of Directors of Intermedia has authorized management of the Company
to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
for the initial public offering of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The
Company contemplates using the proceeds from the proposed public offering to
finance its growth plans.
