certain commitments to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), including the Federal Bureau of
Investigation ("FBI"), and to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"). Those
commitments addressed national security, law enforcement and public safety concerns raised
with regard to the Company‘s application to the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
regarding the transfer of certain assets from Pac—West Telecomm, Inc. to U.S. TelePacific Corp.
and transfer of control of Mpower Communications Corp. to U.S. TelePacific Holdings. Corp,
respectively. By this letter, the Company agrees to extend the commitments made in the
Commitment Letters to address any national security, law enforcement and public safety
concerns that may be raised with regard to the application filed at the FCC for authority pursuant
to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, for the transfer of control of an
authorized U.S. international and domestic common carrier, to wit, the transfer of control of
Arrival Communications, Inc. to the Company.

       In particular, this letter is being submitted for the purpose of extending the commitments
made in the Commitment Letters by U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp., to the operations of
