                Dear Ms. Lammert, Mr. Baker, and Ms. Mandelker:

                        By letter dated March 2, 2005 (the "2005 Commitment Letter") and letter dated July 24,
                2006 (the ©2006 Commitment Letter") (together, the "Commitment Letters"), U.S. TelePacific
                Corp. ("Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp., made
                certain commitments to the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), including the Federal Bureau of
                Investigation ("EBI"), 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
