                         Dear Ms. Dortch:

                                  In accordance with 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.65 and 63.5, Hawaiian Telcom, Inc.
                         (“HTI”) and Hawaiian Telcom Services Company, Inc. (“HT Services,” and
                         together with HTI, the “Applicants”) hereby amend their Applications to transfer
                         control of the Applicants’ domestic and international Section 214 authorizations,
                         Petition for Declaratory Ruling Under Section 310(b), and wireless licenses.
                         Although the information included in the Applications and Petition was accurate as
                         of the time of their filing, circumstances regarding Applicants’ anticipated indirect
                         ownership have since changed, thus necessitating this amendment.

                                 At the time the Applications and Petition were filed, to the best of
                         Applicants’ knowledge, no single entity owned claims representing ten percent or
                         more of the new Holdco stock. However, as noted in the Applications, the debt
                         claims involved in the bankruptcy proceeding are transferable. Since the
                         Applications and Petition were filed, Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC has
                         acquired additional claims and as of today holds claims representing 16.7 percent of
                         the new Holdco stock post-reorganization. The Holdco claims are still be held by
                         over 100 different entities, and it is expected that no entity will have a controlling
                         interest in Holdco post-reorganization. A declaration supporting this information is
                         attached to this letter.

                                Applicants are therefore amending their Applications and Petition as
                         outlined below.

          Domestic Section 214 Application (WC Docket No. 10-41)

                  The second sentence of the second paragraph of the section entitled 10
          Percent or Greater Interest Holders (page 4 of the Application) should be revised to
          read as follows:

                 Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, to the best of Applicants’
                 knowledge, only one entity, Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC, is
                 expected to hold ten percent or more of the new Holdco common
                 stock. Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC (“Cerberus”) is
                 expected to own 16.7 percent of the new Holdco common stock.
                 Cerberus is a private equity vehicle located at 299 Park Avenue, New
                 York, NY 10171, and is a United States limited liability company
                 whose sole member is series four of Cerberus Institutional Partners,
                 L.P. (“CIP-4”), a Delaware limited partnership. The sole general
                 partner of CIP-4 is Cerberus Institutional Associates, L.L.C., a
                 Delaware limited liability company which is 100 percent owned and
                 controlled by U.S. entities or individuals. Approximately 21 percent
                 of the limited partnership interests in CIP-4 are held by non-U.S.
                 individuals or entities. Of these non-U.S. partnership interests, only
                 0.09 percent are held by citizens of the Bahamas, a non-WTO
                 country; all other interests are held by U.S. or WTO-country entities
                 or individuals.

                  Further, the statement on page 9 that “to the best of Applicants’ knowledge,
          none will own ten percent or more of the equity of Applicants,” should instead read,
          “to the best of Applicants’ knowledge, as of April 19, 2010, only one entity is
          expected to own more than 10 percent of the equity of Applicants, and that entity
          will not have a controlling interest.”

          Petition for Declaratory Ruling (WC Docket No. 10-41, File No. ISP-PDR-
          20100122-00002)

                 The fifth sentence of the first full paragraph on page 4 (continuing on to
          page 5) of the Petition for Declaratory Ruling should be revised to read as follows:

                 To the best of Applicants’ knowledge, only one entity is expected to
                 hold ten percent or more of Holdco, and that entity will not have a
                 controlling interest. Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC
                 (“Cerberus”) is expected to own 16.7 percent of the new Holdco
                 common stock. Cerberus is a private equity vehicle located at 299
                 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10171, and is a United States limited
                 liability company whose sole member is series four of Cerberus

                 Institutional Partners, L.P. (“CIP-4”), a Delaware limited partnership.
                 The sole general partner of CIP-4 is Cerberus Institutional
                 Associates, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company which is
                 100 percent owned and controlled by U.S. entities or individuals.
                 Approximately 21 percent of the limited partnership interests in CIP-
                 4 are held by non-U.S. individuals or entities. Of these non-U.S.
                 partnership interests, only 0.09 percent are held by citizens of the
                 Bahamas, a non-WTO country; all other interests are held by U.S. or
                 WTO-country entities or individuals.

          International Section 214 Application (File No. ITC-ASG-20100122-00038)

                 The response to question no. 11 should be changed from “no” to “yes.”

                 In Attachment 1, Subsection (h) – Ten percent (10% Equity Shareholders
          (Answer to Question No. 11), the second sentence of the first full paragraph on page
          4 should be revised to read as follows:

                 Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, to the best of Applicants’
                 knowledge, only one entity is expected to hold ten percent or more of
                 Holdco, and that entity will not have a controlling interest. Cerberus
                 Series Four Holdings, LLC (“Cerberus”) is expected to own 16.7
                 percent of the new Holdco common stock. Cerberus is a private
                 equity vehicle located at 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10171,
                 and is a United States limited liability company whose sole member
                 is series four of Cerberus Institutional Partners, L.P. (“CIP-4”), a
                 Delaware limited partnership. The sole general partner of CIP-4 is
                 Cerberus Institutional Associates, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
                 company which is 100 percent owned and controlled by U.S. entities
                 or individuals. Approximately 21 percent of the limited partnership
                 interests in CIP-4 are held by non-U.S. individuals or entities. Of
                 these non-U.S. partnership interests, only 0.09 percent are held by
                 citizens of the Bahamas, a non-WTO country; all other interests are
                 held by U.S. or WTO-country entities or individuals.

In the Matter of

HAWAIIAN TELCOM, INC. and
HAWAIIAN TELCOM SERVICES
COMPANY, INC. (Debtors—in—Possession)                WC Docket No. 10—41

Application for Consent to Transfer
Control of Domestic Authorizations Under
Section 214 of the Communications Act, as
Amended




                        Declaration of Randall Braunfeld

1. My name is Randall Braunfeld. 1 serve as an Authorized Signatory for Lehman

   Commercial Paper Inc. My business address is 1271 Avenue of the America, 3g" Floor,

   New York, New York 10020.

   I have prepared this Declaration in support of Hawaiian Telcom, Inc.‘s ("HTI") and

   Hawaiian Telcom Services Company, Inc.‘s ("HT Services," and together with HTI, the

   "Applicants") amendments to their Applications in the above—captioned proceeding.

   Claims that represent prospective holdings of the stock of Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc.

   ("Holdco") are held by over 100 different entities, and no entity is expected to have a

   controlling interest in Holdco. These entities are primarily investment funds, banks, and

   other financial institutions. Claims against the bankruptcy estate may be traded among the

   claim holders and with third parties, and it is expected that they will continue to do so for

   the duration of the bankruptcy proceeding. Because of this trading activity, individual


   prospective equity ownership interests can and will change as described in the Applicant‘s

   prior filings.

4. Based upon trading activity since the filing of the Applications, it is presently anticipated

    that one entity will hold 10 percent or more of the new Holdco common stock when the

    Applicants emerge from bankruptcy. Specifically, Cerberus Series Four Holdings, LLC

    ("Cerberus") has informed me that as of this date it owns claims that would represent 16.7

    percent of the new Holdco common stock post—reorganization. Cerberus has further

    informed me that it is a private equity vehicle located at 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY

    10171 and that it is a United States limited Hability company whose sole member is serics

    four of Cerberus Institutional Partners, L.P. ("CIP—4"), a Delaware limited partnership.

    Cerberus has also indicated that the sole general partner of CIP—4 is Cerberus Institutional

    Associates, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company which is 100 percent owned and

    controlled by U.S. entities or individuals; that approximately 21 percent of the limited

    partnership interests in CIP—4 are held by non—U.S. individuals or entities; and that of these

    non—U.S. partnership interests, only 0.09 percent arc held by citizens of the Bahamas, a

    non—WTO country. Finally, Cerberus has indicated that all other interests are held by U.S.

    or WTO—country entities or individuals.




I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my

knowledge and belief.


Executed on 4/19/2010.



                                                           Randall Braunfe
