               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


Item 3.     Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference

            The following documents, which have been filed by Digex,
Incorporated ("Digex") or Intermedia Communications Inc., Digex's parent company
("Intermedia"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement as of their respective

            1999, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2000.

      (b)   Intermedia's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December

      (c)   Digex's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended

      (d)   Intermedia's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months

      (e)   The description of Digex's Class A Common Stock which is contained

Item 4.     Description of Securities

            N/A


Item 5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

      Partners of Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman LLP, counsel to Digex and
Intermedia, beneficially own 20,450 shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition,
Ralph J. Sutcliffe, a partner of Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman LLP, beneficially
owns 11,490 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Intermedia, a
warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Intermedia common stock at an exercise
price equal to $20.75 per share, and, subject to vesting, options to purchase
22,000 shares of Intermedia common stock at an exercise price of $34.1875 per
share. Intermedia indirectly owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Digex's Class B Common Stock entitling Intermedia to control a majority of the
voting power of Digex. Mr. Sutcliffe is a director of Intermedia.


Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers

      Digex's and Intermedia's Certificates of Incorporation each provide
that Digex and Intermedia, respectively, will to the fullest extent permitted by
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), as amended
from time to time, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto.
Digex's and Intermedia's By-laws, as amended, each contain a similar provision
requiring indemnification of their respective directors and officers to the
fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.

      The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and
officers (among others) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought (or threatened to be
brought) by third parties, if such directors or officers acted in good faith and
in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a
derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification may be made for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection with the defense
or settlement of such action if they had acted in good faith and in a manner
they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or
the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view


                                       4

<PAGE>   5

of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses. The DGCL further provides that, to the
extent any director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this paragraph, or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection therewith.

      In addition, Digex's Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision
limiting the personal liability of Digex's directors for monetary damages for
certain breaches of their fiduciary duty.

      Digex and Intermedia have indemnification insurance under which directors
and officers are insured against certain liability that may occur in their
capacity as such.

      Digex has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
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 in the right of Digex or against the indemnitee due to
his or her position as a director or officer of Digex, 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.

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


Item 7.     Exemption from Registration Claimed

            N/A


Item 8.     Exhibits

      Digex will submit the Digex, Incorporated 401(k)Plan (the "Plan") to the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and hereby undertakes to submit any amendment
thereto to the IRS in a timely manner, and to make all changes required by the
IRS to maintain qualification of the Plan.

Item 9.     Undertakings

A.    Post-Effective Amendments

      Digex and Intermedia hereby undertake:

          (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
                made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

                (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
                      the Securities Act;

                (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                      after the effective date of this Registration Statement
                      (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
                      which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
                      fundamental change in the information set forth in this
                      Registration Statement.

                (iii) To include any material information with respect to
                      the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
                      Registration Statement or any material change to such
                      information in this Registration Statement;

                provided, however, that subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above will
                not apply if the information required to be included in a post-
                effective amendment by those subparagraphs is contained in
                periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by Digex or
                Intermedia, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
                of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
                Registration Statement.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7


          (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
                deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
                securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
                at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
                offering thereof.

          (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
                unsold at the termination of the offering.

B.    Subsequent Documents Incorporated by Reference

      Digex and Intermedia hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of their respective annual
reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement will be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


C.    Claims for Indemnification

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Digex and
Intermedia pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Digex and
Intermedia have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore,unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by Digex and/or Intermedia of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Digex and/or
Intermedia in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, Digex and/or Intermedia will, unless in the opinion
of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to
a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
