       Response to Question 13:

       Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Integra will purchase the equity of

opticAccess and opticAccess will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra. Thus, following

the completion of the transaction, opticAccess will be wholly-owned by Integra Telecom

Holdings, Inc., which will continue to be wholly-owned by Integra Telecom, Inc., which will

continue to be wholly-owned by Integra Telecom Parent, Inc. Closing of the transaction is

contingent upon, among other things, receipt of necessary regulatory approvals from the

Commission and other governmental authorities.

       Applicants emphasize that the proposed transaction will be entirely transparent to

customers of opticAccess. Because of the nature of this merger, the transfer of control will not

result in a change of carrier for any opticAccess customers. Immediately after consummating the

transaction, opticAccess will continue to provide the identical end user telecommunications and

other services to the affected customers and will continue to provide these services at the rates,

and pursuant to the terms and conditions of service, these customers currently receive from

opticAccess. Any future changes in the rates, terms and conditions of service will be made

consistent with applicable law. The transaction will not result in any discontinuance of service

for any opticAccess customers. In sum, consummation of the transaction will result in no

perceivable changes to opticAccess’ customers.
