ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

SAVVIS Communications Corporation (“SAVVIS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAVVIS, Inc. (the “Registrant”), purchased its previously-leased facility located at 14901 FAA Boulevard, Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas on June 29, 2006, for approximately $13.8 million. Following the purchase, on June 30, 2006, SAVVIS sold the facility and certain equipment located at the facility to Digital Centreport, L.P. (the “Landlord”) for approximately $50.6 million and leased the facility and equipment back (the “Sale Leaseback Transaction”). SAVVIS’ net proceeds from the transactions, before expenses, were approximately $36.8 million.

In connection with the closing of the Sale Leaseback Transaction, SAVVIS entered into a fifteen-year triple-net lease agreement with the Landlord. SAVVIS has three five-year options to renew the lease agreement. Base annual rent for the primary term of the lease is initially approximately $4.3 million and will increase by 2.5% per year. SAVVIS will be required to pay all of the costs associated with the operation of the facilities, including costs such as insurance, taxes and maintenance. The lease imposes certain obligations on SAVVIS and grants certain rights to the Landlord in the event of a default by SAVVIS on the lease. The lease contains other customary representations, warranties, obligations, conditions, indemnification provisions and termination provisions associated with leases of this nature.

As a result of certain provisions in the lease, the Sale Leaseback Transaction qualifies as a financing under sale leaseback accounting. Accordingly, the related assets and financing obligation will remain on SAVVIS’ balance sheet until completion of the lease term, when they will be removed from SAVVIS’ records.
