                                        trust collectively with Mr. Henriksen, the “Sellers”) that
                                        directly own HoldCo1)

          No other person or entity, directly or indirectly, owns or controls a 10% or greater inter-

 est in Logix. See Exhibit A for a detailed depiction of the pre- and post-Transaction corporate

 structure of Licensee.

          B.      Transferee

          LAC is a Delaware limited liability company. LAC was formed for the purpose of own-

 ing and acquiring the LOGIX operating entities, including Licensee. Upon consummation of the

 Transaction, it will be the direct parent of HoldCo. LAC provides no telecommunications

 services itself and holds no FCC authorizations.

          As described in more detail below, the sole member and Manager of Transferee is

 LOGIX Intermediate Holding Corporation (“Sub-Parent”), a Delaware corporation. Mark J.

 Johnson, a U.S. citizen, is the President, CEO, Secretary, and Treasurer of Sub-Parent. Matthew

 M. Murphy, also a U.S. citizen, is Vice President of Sub-Parent. However, day-to-day opera-

 tional control of Transferee will be exercised by Astra Capital Management, LLC (“ACM”), a

 Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to a Management Services Agreement entered into

 between ACM and Sub-Parent. ACM is a Washington, D.C.-based private equity firm that

 focuses on investments in scalable telecommunications and technology companies. Mark J.

 Johnson, a U.S. citizen, holds more than 50% of the equity of ACM and exercises control over

 the entity.

          See Exhibit A for a detailed depiction of the post-Transaction corporate structure of

 Transferee.

         None of the trusts individually owns 10% or more of Holdco, but collectively the trusts
 directly own 25% of HoldCo.

 III.     DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

          Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of October 29, 2015 (the “Agree-

 ment”), LAC will acquire from Sellers all of the issued and outstanding stock of HoldCo, the

 ultimate parent of Licensee. As a result, indirect ownership and control of Licensee will be

 transferred from Transferor to LAC. For the Commission’s reference, a chart depicting the pre-

 and post-Transaction ownership of Licensee is provided in Exhibit A.

        As noted above, the three entities that will be equity holders in Parent at consummation of the
 Transaction are Astra Holdings, LOGIX Co-Invest I, LLC, and WRA-Astra Logix Investors LLC (collec-
 tively, the “Co-Investors”). Pursuant to an Interim Investor Rights Agreement between the Co-Investors,
 Astra Holdings retains the right to increase its equity position to a maximum of 29% in Parent by reduc-
 ing the equity commitment of WRA-Astra Logix Investors LLC and LOGIX Co-Invest I LLC. As a
 result, the amount of the equity contributions of these three entities could change prior to the consumma-
 tion of the Transaction. In the event that Astra Holdings exercises this right, the parties shall promptly
 notify the Commission and will provide appropriately updated ownership information. Moreover, Astra
 Holdings (like ACM) is controlled by Mark. J. Johnson. Thus, any change in ownership of Parent will
 only result in increased indirect ownership by Mark J. Johnson, a U.S. citizen, and will not affect control
 of Licensee. Regardless of the level of the equity contributions among the Co-Investors at consummation
 of the Transaction, ACM will continue to manage the day-to-day operations of HoldCo and thus retain
 operational control of the Licensee.

 10 percent, Transferee (together with its Affiliates) will provide competitive telephone exchange

 services or exchange access services (if at all) exclusively in geographic areas served by a

 dominant local exchange carrier that is not a party to the Transaction, and none of the Applicants

 (or their Affiliates) is dominant with respect to any service.

 63.04(a)(9): Additional FCC Applications

          Licensee also holds two private microwave licenses: Call Signs WQRH652 and

 WQRH653. Applicants are filing an Application with the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau

 with respect to the transfer of control of those wireless licenses.

 63.04(a)(10): Special Consideration Requests

          No party is requesting special consideration because it is facing imminent business failure.

 63.04(a)(11): Waiver Requests

          No waiver requests are being filed in conjunction with the Transaction.

 63.04(a)(12): Public Interest Statement

           The Transaction will serve the public interest. The financial and managerial resources

 that Transferee will bring to Logix will enable it to better meet the needs of residential, enter-

 prise, wholesale, and other customers in its service territories and thus better compete in the

 telecommunications marketplace. At the same time, the Transaction will have no adverse impact

 on the customers of Logix. Immediately following the Transaction, Logix will continue to

 provide high-quality services at the same rates and on the same terms and conditions as are

 currently in effect. The only change immediately following closing of the Transaction from a

 consumer’s perspective is that Licensee’s indirect ownership will change, with Transferee being

 its ultimate owner.

 VI.      CONCLUSION

          For the reasons stated above, Applicants respectfully submit that the public interest,

 convenience, and necessity would be furthered by a grant of this Application for the indirect

 transfer of ownership and control of Logix Communications, LP to LOGIX Acquisition

 Company, LLC.
