ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On July 27, 2006, EasyLink Services Corporation and its wholly-owned domestic
subsidiary EasyLink Services USA, Inc. (collectively, "EasyLink") entered into a
credit facility (the "Credit Facility") and related documents with CAPCO
Financial Company, a division of Greater Bay Bank N.A. ("CAPCO").

Under the Credit Facility, EasyLink may receive credit advances of up to
$6,000,000, subject to a maximum of 80% to 85% of the value of certain accounts
receivable. The advances will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Greater
Bay Bank N.A.'s prime rate plus 2.0%.

The Credit Facility has an initial term of 24 months unless terminated by
EasyLink upon 30 days' prior written notice. CAPCO may terminate the Credit
Facility after 12 months upon 90 days' prior written notice if EasyLink should
fail to meet CAPCO's then existing underwriting criteria. There are no financial
covenants under the Credit Facility, but it does contain customary events of
default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults, breaches of
representations and warranties, bankruptcy proceedings and changes of control of
EasyLink. Upon an event of default, the Credit Facility provides that, among
other things, the outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility may be
declared immediately due and payable and interest on outstanding advances will
increase to 5.0% over the interest rate otherwise in effect. All obligations
under the Credit Facility are secured by all of the assets of EasyLink
(excluding capital stock of EasyLink or EasyLink's subsidiaries).

On July 27, 2006, EasyLink drew down an advance of $5.9 million under the Credit
Facility and used the funds to pay off its existing loan balance with Wells
Fargo, along with other fees and expenses. EasyLink's loan facility with Wells
Fargo was terminated upon this payoff.

A copy of the Credit Facility is included herein as Exhibit 10.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Credit
Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Credit Facility.
