Service Revenue
In the second quarter of 2011, XO’s Strategic Core services, comprised of products largely deployed using IP-enabled technologies as well as non-IP based data transport and networking solutions, generated $242.8 million in revenue, an increase of $26.5 million, or 12% over the year-ago period. This increase principally resulted from strong demand for secure, low-cost solutions and a continued market demand shift away from TDM-based solutions, as evidenced by the increase of $22.0 million, or 32%, in IP VPN, IP Flex and Ethernet services compared to the same period in 2010.
The revenue growth in XO’s Strategic Core services is offset by year-over-year decreases in Legacy and Non-Core products. Revenue from Legacy products, such as more mature and traditional wireline voice, retail long distance, and other TDM-related products and services, decreased $9.7 million, or 7%, during the second quarter, compared to the year-ago period. A decrease of $11.3 million, or 11%, was driven by continuing demand shift from traditional integrated voice and data offerings. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in pass-through tax and other fees.
Revenue for Non-Core products, consisting of long distance voice services (“LDVS”), transport and networking products, and shared hosting facilities, decreased $18.7 million, or 55%, in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the year-ago period. The decline was primarily driven by a $17.4 million, or 60%, decrease in LDVS, compared to the second quarter of 2010, due to targeted price adjustments implemented to improve margins.

Corporate Highlights
On July 11, 2011, the Company and ACF Industries Holding Corp. ("ACF"), signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, ACF, Arnos Corp ("Arnos"), Arnos Sub Corp ("Arnos Sub"), High River Limited Partnership ("High River"), Barberry Corp. ("Barberry") and together with ACF, Arnos, Arnos Sub and High River, collectively, (the "Parent Group"), and XO Merger Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent Group ("Merger Sub"). Each member of Parent Group and Merger Sub are affiliates of Carl C. Icahn, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors and beneficial owner of approximately 91.76% of the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding shares of capital stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), Merger Sub will be merged into the Company and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent Group (the "Merger"). At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares owned by the Parent Group or held in treasury and (ii) shares in respect of which appraisal rights have been properly exercised under Delaware law) will be canceled and will be automatically converted into the right to receive $1.40 in cash without interest plus a non-transferable, uncertificated contract right (“CVR”)to receive a pro rata share of certain proceeds received by Parent Group or its affiliates in certain circumstances if Parent Group consummates or enters into a definitive agreement providing for a sale of the Company or its assets within a one year period of the execution date of the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Consideration") and such sale is consummated.
The cash portion of the Merger Consideration represents an 84% premium over the last reported trading price as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. on January 18, 2011, the last trading day prior to the Company's announcement on January 19, 2011 that it had received ACF's proposal to acquire all of the outstanding stock of the Company, and a 126% premium over the 90-day volume weighted average price as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. as of the same date, on January 18, 2011. The cash portion of the Merger Consideration represents a 109% premium over the last reported trading price as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. on July 8, 2011, the last full trading date prior to execution of the Merger Agreement.
The Board of Directors of the Company, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a Special Committee formed on January 21, 2011 to consider, review, and evaluate the original proposal made by ACF on January 19, 2011, has (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Merger are in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders of the Company other than the Parent Group, and declared it advisable to enter into the Merger Agreement with the Parent Group and Merger Sub providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Merger in accordance with the DGCL.
The Merger is currently expected to close before the end of the third quarter 2011. If completed, the Merger will, under laws of the state of Delaware, result in the Company becoming a privately held company and the Company Common Stock will no longer be listed on the OTCBB or Pink Sheets.
On August 11, 2011, the Promissory Note, which was originally entered into on October 8, 2010, with Arnos was amended. The Promissory Note provides us with access to a $50.0 million revolving credit facility at an annual interest rate equal to the greater of LIBOR plus 525 basis points or 6.75%. On February 11, 2011, at our request, we entered into the Amendment to the Promissory Note with Arnos. The Amendment extended the latest maturity date of the Promissory Note from October 8, 2011 to May 1, 2012. On August 11, 2011, at our request, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Promissory Note with Arnos. The Second Amendment extended the latest maturity date of the Promissory Note from May 1, 2012 to August 16, 2012. Accordingly, the maturity date of the Promissory Note is the earliest of (i) August 16, 2012, (ii) the date on which any financing transaction, whether debt or equity, is consummated by us or certain of our affiliates in an amount equal to or greater than $50.0 million, and (iii), at our option, a date selected by the Company that is earlier than August 16, 2012. The Promissory Note includes a fee of 0.75% on undrawn amounts. As of August 15, 2011, no amounts have been drawn on the Promissory Note.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before depreciation, amortization, (gain)/loss on impairment/disposal of assets, interest expense, interest income, investment gains or losses, income tax expense or benefit, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, stock-based compensation and expense associated with the Merger transaction. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow, and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Rather, adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by management to assess operating performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA as defined here does not have the same meaning as EBITDA as defined in our SEC filings.
