13 Riverside Overview Boston-based private equity firm investing in founder-owned, middle market, technology and healthcare companies since 1988 Principals have managed more than $500 million in investments in over 50 companies Currently investing out of Riverside Fund IV, LP and Riverside Fund V, LP Growth oriented investors Operational approach Within technology, telecommunications is a major area of focus Superior results for our investors Working together with our portfolio companies management teams, we have generated 30+% gross IRRs and greater than 4x multiple on realized investments 13

14 TVC Overview Tech Valley Communications ( TVC ) is a facilities-based CLEC in upstate New York and northern New England Initial Riverside investment in October At the time, focused in Albany, NY Region. Significant acquisition in 2011, doubled size of the business and expanded business in NH,VT, MA and Maine Today, TVC serves wholesale, carrier, and enterprise customers Provides data, internet, voice, backhaul, and co-location services Managed by founder and CEO Kevin O Connor Broad/Deep fiber networks 200,000 fiber miles; 1,000 lit buildings Customers include many of the top U.S. wireless carriers and hundreds of enterprise customers including medium and large businesses, colleges, hospitals, public safety agencies, and governments 14

15 Key Initiatives for 2013 Network expansion Complete existing fiber builds efficiently and on schedule Continue to win attractive carrier / wholesale contracts Continue to invest in the network to deepen fiber footprint Network monetization Deepen relationships with key carrier accounts Drive on network revenue growth New products and services within network (managed services, hosting, etc) Network management Recently added two key senior hires; continue to expand team where appropriate Opportunistically pursue strategic add-on acquisitions 15

16 UCC Overview UCC holds the promise of unifying communications across network, devices, and platforms Current Business Communications Key Pain Points: UCC holds the promise of unifying heterogeneous multi-vendor multi-device environments in order to provide a seamless user experience and increase employee productivity Multiplying devices (BYOD) Multiplying IDs Non integrated presence / location Multi-vendor environments Multiple service providers Large amount of legacy infrastructure 16

17 UCC Market Trends Market expects growth but barriers exist. While there are concerns about integration and product maturity Barriers to UC&C Adoption CIOs expect to deploy more tightly integrated solutions in the next 24 months Enterprise UC&C Deployment Methods Cost of Integration 42% 8% 10% Multiple Vendors Not Integrated Applications License Cost 40% 44% Waiting for the Business Models and Portfolios to Mature 26% 60% Tightly Integrated Multi-vendor Solutions Waiting for the Technologies to Mature 17% 48% 30% Single-Vendor Solution Ease of Implementation 12% Sources: Frost & Sullivan, November 2011

18 UCC: Key Valuation Drivers Value can be created in different ways UCC in a box Simple, easy to implement solutions Rapid growth Little support cost profitable model Eventually, scale will be the key differentiator Complex, valuable solutions Characterized by high stickiness and low churn Customization expense justified by premium pricing Identification and exploitation of niche opportunities is critical Business models still evolving Integrated model another product for network providers to sell into existing customer relationships Best of breed Fundamentally allows a separation of transport and service add-ons Business model likely less critical than execution of that model Financial opportunity not strategic necessity Key questions What are the pain points and what will growth really be? How many long term strategic acquirers are there? Which capabilities are hard to replicate? 18

48 SIP Trunking & Hosted Unified Communications SIP Trunking and hosted VoIP will drive the cumulative $377 billion growth in spending on business and residential VoIP services from One of the key capabilities of UC is that it allows users to freely mix communications modes (voice, video, etc.) and seamlessly move between them Traditional communications services are often ill equipped to deliver this flexibility, which may ultimately increase the demand for SIP-based services that provide this capability As the multi-vendor environment becomes more tightly integrated, the need for standards-based interoperability via SIP Trunking and other related protocols will increase SIP Trunking suggests growth, but how should it be viewed in terms of value and longevity? 48 Source: 1.)
