       To the Transferee’s knowledge, no other person or entity, will directly or indirectly, own
       or control a ten percent (10%) or greater interest in Licensee through Transferee upon
       completion of the Inteliquent Merger.

       Onvoy, which itself is a non-dominant foreign carrier in Canada, has interlocking direc-

torates with its subsidiaries, Voyant and BV-LLC, which are also non-dominant foreign carriers

in Canada.

       (i)    (Answer to Question 14) Transferee certifies that it is a non-dominant foreign car-

rier in Canada. Transferee is also currently affiliated within the meaning of Section 63.09(e) of

the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.09(e), with Voyant, which is a non-dominant foreign

carrier in Canada by virtue of its Reseller Registration and Basic International Telecommunica-

tions Services (“BITS”) License and BV-LLC, which is a non-dominant foreign carrier in

Canada by virtue of its Reseller Registration and BITS License. Similarly, Licensee will be

affiliated with Onvoy, Voyant, and BV-LLC upon completion of the Inteliquent Merger.

       (j)    (Answer to Question 15) Transferee certifies that, through its acquisition of con-

trol of Licensee, Transferee does not seek to provide international telecommunications services

to any destination country where two or more foreign carriers (or parties that control foreign

carriers) own, in the aggregate more than 25 percent of Transferee and are parties to, or the


                                               8


beneficiaries of, a contractual relation affecting the provision or marketing or international basic

telecommunications services in the United States. However, Transferee certifies that it is a non-

dominant foreign carrier and also is affiliated with a non-dominant foreign carrier as described in

(i) above. Upon completion of the Inteliquent Merger, Transferee and Licensee will be affiliated

with multiple non-dominant foreign carriers, as described in (i) above.

       (k)     Transferee certifies that Canada is a Member of the World Trade Organization

(“WTO”). Onvoy, Voyant and BV-LLC are not on the Commission’s List of Foreign Telecom-

munications Carriers that are Presumed to Possess Market Power in Foreign Telecommunica-

tions Markets, released on January 26, 2007. In addition, each of these foreign carriers offers

services in competition with dominant foreign carriers and others.

       (m)     Transferee qualifies for a presumption of non-dominance under Section

63.10(a)(1) and (3) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.10(a)(1,3), because it is a non-

dominant foreign carrier and is affiliated with non-dominant foreign carriers in a country that is a

Member of the WTO.

       (n)     Transferee and Licensee certify that they have not agreed to accept special con-

cessions, directly or indirectly, from any foreign carrier with respect to any U.S. international

route where the foreign carrier possesses market power on the foreign end of the route and will

not enter into such agreements in the future.

       (o)     Applicants certify that they are not subject to denial of federal benefits pursuant to

Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1998. See 21 U.S.C. § 853a; see also 47 C.F.R.

§§ 1.2001-1.2003.

       (p)     Applicants respectfully submit that this Application is eligible for streamlined

processing pursuant to Section 63.12(a)-(b) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 63.12(a)-(b).

Transferee qualifies for streamlined treatment under Section 63.12(c) because Transferee qualifies


                                                 9


for a presumption of non-dominance under Section 63.10(a)(3) for the reasons detailed in response

to paragraphs (k) and (m) above.


V.     INFORMATION REQUIRED BY SECTION 63.04

       Pursuant to Commission Rule 63.04(b), 47 C.F.R. § 63.04(b), Applicants submit the fol-

lowing information in support of their request for domestic Section 214 authority to transfer

interexchange carriers in: California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Ken-

tucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, and Wiscon-

sin.

       (v) Through Fund X/A and Fund X/C, to its knowledge, Transferee is currently affiliated

(as defined in the Act) with the following domestic telecommunications services providers: (1)

Telecommunications Management, LLC, which through its subsidiaries Ultra Communications

Group LLC and Avenue Broadband Communications LLC provides cable, broadband and

interconnected VoIP services to residential and commercial customers in parts of Missouri,




                                               11

respect to domestic authority, this Application is eligible for streamlined processing pursuant to

Section 63.03(b)(2)(ii) because, immediately following the Inteliquent Merger, (i) Transferee (and

its Affiliates, as defined in the Act) will have a market share in the interstate, interexchange

market of less than ten percent (10%), and (ii) Transferee (and its Affiliates) will provide com-

petitive telephone exchange services or exchange access services (if at all) exclusively in geo-

graphic areas served by a dominant local exchange carrier that is not a party (or affiliate to a

party) to the Inteliquent Merger.

           (a)(9) Other than their Section 214 authorizations described in this Application, Licen-

see does not hold any other authorizations or licenses from the Commission.

           (a)(10) No party is requesting special consideration because it is facing imminent business

failure.

           (a)(11) Not applicable.

           (a)(12) Applicants submit that the Inteliquent Merger is in the public interest. Petitioners

submit that the Transactions described herein will serve the public interest. The Inteliquent

Merger will bring together two successful enterprises that have demonstrated a long-standing


10
          The Commission has forborn from applying the cross-ownership prohibition in Section 652(b) on an
affiliate of a cable operator acquiring a competitive local exchange carrier. See Petition for Declaratory Ruling to
Clarify 47 U.S.C. § 572 in the Context of Transactions between Competitive Local Exchange Carriers and Cable
Operators, Order, 27 FCC Rcd 11532 ¶21 (2012).


                                                        12


commitment to excellence in a highly competitive marketplace. The combined financial, tech-

nical, and managerial resources of Onvoy and Inteliquent are expected to enhance the ability of

their regulated subsidiaries to compete in the telecommunications marketplace. Further, combin-

ing the existing networks of Onvoy and Inteliquent will enhance the ability of their regulated

subsidiaries to serve their customers effectively and efficiently. At the same time, the Inteliquent

Merger will have no adverse impact on the customers of Inteliquent. Immediately following the

Inteliquent Merger, Inteliquent 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 Inteliquent Merger will be that that Inteliquent’s ownership will change,

with Onvoy, and ultimately Holdco, being the new owners. Since the Inteliquent Merger will

occur at the holding company level with Inteliquent as the entity surviving the merger, it will be

completely transparent and seamless from a customer’s perspective.




                                                13
