Business Wire, April 11, 2006

ANDOVER, Mass. -- NaviSite, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVI), a leading provider of IT hosting, outsourcing and professional services for mid- to large-sized organizations, today announced that it has closed its previously announced $70 million term loan facility and $3 million revolving credit facility with Silver Point Finance, as well as a $5 million credit facility with Atlantic Investors, its majority stockholder. Lane, Berry & Co. International, LLC acted as NaviSite's placement agent in the transactions with Silver Point Finance. In addition, Atlantic Investors has restructured the terms of the existing $3 million secured promissory note issued to it by NaviSite, extending the maturity date to five years and 90 days after the date of the Silver Point Finance transaction.

Proceeds from the Silver Point term loan facility have been used to repay and extinguish NaviSite's Silicon Valley Bank line of credit, the Waythere, Inc. (formerly Surebridge, Inc.) convertible promissory notes, other short-term debt and to pay transaction fees and expenses. Proceeds from the $3 million revolving credit facility from Silver Point Finance and $5 million credit facility from Atlantic Investors are expected to be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

"We are very pleased to announce the completion of these financing transactions," said Arthur Becker, CEO of NaviSite. "NaviSite has demonstrated significant operating momentum in fiscal year 2006 through our business unit realignment, our strong EBITDA performance, and organic revenue growth. The refinancing of our maturing debt represents a major milestone in the transformation of the Company's capital structure. We believe this achievement represents another critical step in NaviSite's continued success."

John Gavin, CFO of NaviSite, added, "This refinancing significantly strengthens NaviSite's balance sheet. The Company can now shift focus from managing short-term debt considerations to achieving longer-term financial objectives and continuing to create stockholder value."

The associated term loan and credit facility from Silver Point Finance includes customary representations, warranties and covenants. Key terms of the term loan and revolving credit facility include:

--  $70 million term loan facility with 3.5 million common stock
       warrants

        --  The term loan matures five years after the closing date.

        --  The first year of the term requires interest-only
            payments, payable on a quarterly basis. Quarterly
            principal payments commence April 30, 2007, with a balloon
            payment at the end of the five-year term. The interest on
            the term loan facility will be paid at an annual rate of
            LIBOR plus 5% in cash with 3% accrued in year one and
            LIBOR plus 7% in cash with 1% accrued for the years
            thereafter.

        --  Silver Point Finance received warrants for the purchase of
            9% of NaviSite's fully diluted shares of common stock,
            equaling approximately 3.5 million shares, at an exercise
            price of $0.01 per share. Silver Point Finance has agreed
            not to sell or transfer any shares acquired upon exercise
            of the warrants during the three months after closing.

        --  The facility requires mandatory prepayments in the event
            of the sale of equity shares or asset sales, among other
            things.

        --  The term loan facility is secured by all of the assets of
            the Company.

   --  $3 million revolving credit facility

        --  The revolving credit facility is available on a revolving
            basis for five years from the closing date.

        --  The interest on the revolving credit facility will be paid
            at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 8% in cash based upon the
            outstanding principal amount.

        --  The revolving credit facility has similar mandatory
            prepayment requirements and security interest provisions
            as described in the term loan facility above.

        --  The revolving credit facility is secured by all of the
            assets of the Company.

As a condition to Silver Point Finance's term and revolving credit facilities described above, Atlantic Investors has restructured its $3 million unsecured loan, with principal and accrued interest payable on July 11, 2011. In addition, Atlantic Investors will provide a committed unsecured credit facility of $5 million for the five-year duration of the Silver Point Finance facilities, interest to be paid at the same rate as the Silver Point Finance revolving credit facility. Atlantic Investors' obligation to continue to provide the credit facility can be eliminated based upon NaviSite reaching certain financial covenants.
