Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts with original maturities of less than three months. Short-term investments include obligations of U.S. government agencies and corporate debt securities. Corporate debt securities include commercial paper which according to Ultimate’s investment guidelines must carry minimum short-term ratings of P-1 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and A-1 by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”). Other corporate debt obligations must carry a minimum rating of A-2 by Moody’s or A by S&P. Asset-backed securities must carry a minimum AAA rating by Moody’s and S&P with a maximum average life of two years at the time of purchase.

As of June 30, 2010, total investments in available-for-sale marketable securities were $9.3 million.

As of June 30, 2010, virtually all of the investments in Ultimate’s portfolio were at fixed rates (with a weighted average interest rate of 0.5% per annum).

To illustrate the potential impact of changes in interest rates, Ultimate has performed an analysis based on its June 30, 2010 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and assuming no changes in its investments. Under this analysis, an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase in the various base rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of Ultimate’s total portfolio of approximately $50 thousand over the next 12 months. An immediate and sustained 100 basis point decrease in the various base rates would result in an increase of the fair value of Ultimate’s total portfolio of approximately $50 thousand over the next 12 months.

Foreign Currency Risk. Ultimate has foreign currency risks related to its revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Management does not believe movements in the foreign currencies in which Ultimate transacts business will significantly affect future net income.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Ultimate carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Ultimate’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Ultimate’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, Ultimate’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, Ultimate’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasona ble assurance that information required to be disclosed in Ultimate’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and thus has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance as to the achievement of their objectives.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 in Ultimate’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Ultimate’s internal control over financial reporting.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning given in the definition section on the last page of this Agreement.

1. ORDERS FOR SERVICES. This Agreement is a master agreement under which Customer may Order Services from time to time by written agreement between Customer and QUALITYTECH. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Order, the Order shall govern. Customer may cancel an Order by written notice to QUALITYTECH at any time prior to Order acceptance by QUALITYTECH.

2. TERM. The Term for Orders for Services described in an Order will commence on the Service Commencement Date for such Services. The Terms of this Agreement will survive until the last Order is terminated or expires. QUALITYTECH may provide Customer a target delivery date (“Target Date”) for an Order, and if so, will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Services on the Target Date. Notwithstanding, should QUALITYTECH fail to deliver the Services by the Target Date, and fail to cure same within thirty (30) days of Customer’s notice of such failure, Customer may terminate the specific Order in its sole discretion and receive a full refund of any amounts paid. In the event of such termination, neither party shall be liable for damages arising out of the failure to perform, other than any accrued amounts owed. The Term of any Order will automatically renew for successive Renewal Terms, unless either party notifies the other party in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then current Term. The termination or expiration of an Order will not affect Customer’s other Services provided under a separate Order.

3. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS.

3.1 Payment Terms. QUALITYTECH will invoice Customer for all Services on a monthly basis, with fixed recurring charges invoiced in advance and all other charges invoiced in arrears. Customer will pay each invoice in full within 30 days of the invoice date. If Customer disputes any portion of an invoice, Customer will notify QUALITYTECH in writing of such dispute within 60 days of the invoice date. A dispute as to any portion of an invoice does not relieve Customer from timely payment of the undisputed portion. Fees for each of the Services in an Order begin to accrue on the Service Commencement Date for the specific Service. QUALITYTECH may change the prices for the Services prior to any Renewal Term by notifying Customer of such price changes at least 90 days prior to the start of any Renewal Term. During the first term under this Agreement Customer will receive a [***] discount in the first year. In year two, pricing will increase by [***]. In year three, pricing will increase an additional [***]. If Customer adds space, power or services during the first 36 months of this Agreement, Customer shall be charged the rate that is being charged for that space, power or service at the time.

3.2 Late Payments. Any undisputed payment not received by QUALITYTECH when due will accrue interest at a rate of [***] per month compounded daily, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower.

3.3 Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes related to the provision of Services, except for taxes based on QUALITYTECH’s net income.

4. MUTUAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION. Each party represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) it has and will maintain the legal right to use, operate and locate its equipment in the Data Center; (ii) the performance of its obligations hereunder will not violate any applicable Laws; (iii) neither the execution of this Agreement nor the performance of its obligations hereunder will constitute a breach by it of any agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound; and (iv) all equipment, materials and other tangible items placed by it at Data Center will be installed, operated, used and maintained in compliance with all applicable Laws and manufacturer specifications and that all Services provided by QUALITYTECH will be provided in a timely, professiona l and workmanlike manner and in accordance with generally accepted industry standards.

Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the QUALITYTECH Parties from any and all Losses arising from or relating to (i) any claim, action or omission by any of the Customer Parties (including claims for personal injuries while in or around the Facilities); and (ii) any cl aim, action or omission by a customer or end-user of Customer, relating to, or arising out of Customer’s or any of its customers’ services or the Customer Space licensed or Services provided under this Agreement (including claims arising from or relating to interruptions, suspensions, failures, defects, delays, impairments or inadequacies in any of the aforementioned Licenses or Services). QUALITYTECH will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer from any and all Losses arising from or relating to any personal injuries or death while in or around the Facilities. Both Parties shall defend and indemnify the other for any breach of the mutual insurance provisions in Section 7.

6. MUTUAL CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Disclosure and Use. Each party agrees that it will not use in any way, nor disclose to any third party, the other party’s Confidential Information, and will take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of such information, at least as stringently as it takes to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no case will the degree of care be less than reasonable care. Nothing herein shall preclude disclosure by a party to that party’s attorneys, accountants and employees who have a bona fide need to know the other party’s Confidential Information in connection with the receiving party’s performance under this Agreement. Each party agrees to only make copies of the other’s Confidential Information for purposes consistent with this Agreement, and each party shall maintain on any such copies a proprietary legend or notice as contained on the original or as the disclosing party may request.

6.2 Exclusions from Confidentiality Obligations. Notwithstanding the confidentiality obligations required herein, neither party’s confidentiality obligations hereunder shall apply to information which: (a) is already known to the receiving party (other than the terms of this Agreement); (b) becomes publicly available without fault of the receiving party; (c) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without restriction as to disclosure, or such Confidential Information is approved for release by written authorization of the party having the rights in such Confidential Information; (d) is developed independently by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; or (e) is required to be disclosed by Law, provid ed that prior to making such required disclosure, the party who is required to disclose the Confidential Information shall notify the owner of such Confidential Information that disclosure is legally required.

7. MUTUAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

7.1 Minimum Levels. Each party agrees to keep in full force and effect during the Term of this Agreement: (i) comprehensive general liability insurance with a combined single limit in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, and $2,000,000 aggregate (or equivalent coverage under an “umbrella” policy), including comprehensive form premises and operations, independent contractors, products and completed operations, personal injury, contractual, and broad form property damage liability coverage, and (ii) workers’ compensation insurance covering such party’s employees in an amount not less than that required by Law. QUALITYTECH shall maintain property and casualty insurance (all risks) covering QUALITYTECH’s Facilities.

Parties agree that upon request, they will deliver to each other the applicable certificates of insurance naming the other party as a certificate holder and requiring that the other party receive written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to any termination, expiration or change in the coverages provided thereunder. Each party will cause and ensure that each insurance policy of such party required under this Agreement will provide that the underwriters waive all claims and rights of recovery by subrogation against the other party’s Parties in connection with any liability or damage covered by the insurance policies.

8. TERMINATION

8.1 Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated by either party, at any time, without liability to the other party, for any one or more of the following (a) the non-terminating party breaches any material term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach (if susceptible to cure) within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of the same (provided, however, in the event this Agreement provides that termination of any rights shall be immediate for any specific breach, then such notice period shall not be required); (b) the non-terminating party becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary proceeding relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, or reorganization for the benefit of creditors, and such petition or proceeding is not dis missed within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof; or (c) a court or other government authority having jurisdiction over the Services prohibits from furnishing the Services to Customer.

8.2 Early Termination.

Such termination fees are not penalties, but due to the difficulty in estimating actual damages for early termination, are agreed upon to be the total amount of charges to fairly compensate QUALITYTECH:

a. [***] of the remaining monthly recurring fees that would have been charged for the Customer Space for months 1-24 of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable on the date of said termination); plus

b. [***] of the remaining monthly recurring fees that would have been charged for the Space for months 25 through the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable on the date of said termination).

If Customer continues to use any Service after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term for such space, then Customer shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the recurring monthly charge and usage charges during such hold-over period shall increase to [***] of the recurring monthly charge and usage charges for the last full month before expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

8.4 Termination by QUALITYTECH. QUALITYTECH may terminate Customer’s rights to any or all Services if Customer fails to pay any undisputed sum for Services when such payment is due and such failure remains uncured ten (10) days after written notice is given by QUALITYTECH.

8.5 Effect of Termination by Either Party. Upon the effective date of termination of the Agreement: (a) QUALITYTECH will immediately cease providing Services; (b) any payment obligations of Customer under this Agreement for Services provided through the date of termination and any applicable termination charges will immediately become due and payable; and (c) within ten (10) days of such termination Customer shall (i) remove from the Data Center(s) all Customer Equipment and any other Customer property located at the Data Center(s), (ii) make available all QUALITYTECH Provided Equipment to an authorized representative of QUALITYTECH, and (iii) return the Customer Space to QUALITYTECH in the same condition as existed on the Service Commencement Date, normal wear and tear excepted.

8.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8 or any other provision of this Agreement, QUALITYTECH may not under any circumstances or for any reason terminate this Agreement unless it has provided Customer with 90 days advanced written notice of the intent to terminate this Agreement.

9.3 Regulatory Changes. In the event that a tariff is filed by QUALITYTECH or there is a change in law, rule or regulation that materially increases or decreases the costs or other terms of delivery of Service, the parties agree to negotiate the rates to be charged, or other required terms of service to reflect such increased costs or change in term of service.

9.4 Notice. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given hereunder may be delivered by hand, deposited with an overnight courier, sent by e-mail or facsimile (provided delivery is confirmed), or U.S. Mail registered or certified return receipt requested and postage prepaid, in each case to the address set forth below or to such other address as may hereafter be furnished in writing by either party to the other party in accordance with this Section. Such notice will be deemed to have been given as of the date it is received.

9.5 Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement or resell the Services, or sublicense or sublease the Services without the written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Failure of the non-assigning party to object to an assignment within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice shall be deemed tacit approval of the assignment. Notwithstanding, either party may freely assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement if such transfer occurs by operation of law under a bona fide merger, divestiture, consolidation, or reorganization, or to any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the business of the assigning party, provided the assignee is bound by this agreement, is financially able to complete its obligation s, and is not a direct competitor of the non-assigning party.

9.6 Entire Understanding. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties related to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements and understandings regarding such subject matter.

Notwithstanding, either party may publicly refer to other, orally and in writing, as a Customer/ service provider of the other.

The failure by either party to enforce any rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such right(s) or of any other or further rights hereunder.
