In support of this Application, Applicants provide the following information: II. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANTS A. Zayo Group, LLC Zayo is a wholly owned subsidiary of Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a public- ly traded Delaware corporation (NYSE: ZAYO). Holdings has no majority owner. Zayo is a provider of bandwidth infrastructure and network neutral colocation and interconnection services over regional and metropolitan fiber networks. These services enable customers to manage,

operate, and scale their telecommunications and data networks. Such customers consist primarily of wireless service providers, national and regional telecommunications carriers and other communications service providers, media and content companies, schools, hospitals, govern- ments, banks and other bandwidth-intensive enterprises. B. Electric Lightwave Parent, Inc. EL Parent is a privately held Delaware corporation that functions as a holding company and does not provide telecommunications in its own right. Through its wholly owned subsidiar- ies, EL Parent owns and operates a number of telecommunications providers that operate primar- ily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. EL Parent’s subsidiaries provide a broad range of communica- tion and networking services primarily to business customers, wholesale carriers, web content providers, government organizations, and educational institutions. EL Parent’s incumbent local exchange carrier subsidiary, Scott-Rice Telephone Co. (“SRTC”), also services residential customers. These services include but are not limited to facilities-based, integrated, resold and facilities-based local, resold long distance, Internet, broadband transport and data services. EL Parent operates an extensive network with access to over 12,500 fiber miles and over 3,200 fiber-lit buildings. A summary of the entities that currently hold, directly or indirectly, a ten percent (10%) or greater interest in EL Parent is provided in Exhibit B. III. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 29, 2016, by and among Zayo, ZELMS, Inc. (a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Zayo created for purposes of the merger) (“Merger Sub”), EL Parent, and Fortis Advisors LLC, as the Equityholder Repre- sentative (the “Agreement”), Zayo will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in EL 2

Parent (the “Transaction”). Specifically, Merger Sub will merge with and into EL Parent, where- upon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and EL Parent will be the surviving corpo- ration. As a result, EL Parent will become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Zayo. Licensees will remain indirect subsidiaries of EL Parent and, therefore, Licensees will become indirect subsidiaries of Zayo. Diagrams depicting the pre- and post-Transaction corporate ownership structures are appended hereto as Exhibit C. IV.

Upon completion of the Transaction, ELCI will also be affiliated with Zayo and the ZG Foreign Can iers. (j) (A nswer to Questi on 15) Transferee ce1iifies that, through its acquisition of con- trol of Licensees, Transferee does not seek to provide international telecommunications services 12

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 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 Transaction, Transferee and Licensees will be affiliated with multiple non-dominant foreign carriers, as described in (i) above, including the ZG Foreign Carriers and ELCI. (k) Transferee certifies that each country listed in (i) above is a Member of the World Trade Organization (“WTO”). None of Zayo, the ZG Foreign Carriers or ELCI is on the Com- mission’s List of Foreign Telecommunications Carriers that are Presumed to Possess Market Power in Foreign Telecommunications 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 only in countries that are Members of the WTO. (n) Transferee and Licensees 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. 13

(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 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 indirect control of Licensees to Zayo in order to address the requirements set forth in Commis- sion Rule 63.04(a)(6)-(12): (a)(6) A description of the proposed Transaction is set forth in Section III above.

(ii) Zayo is authorized to provide competitive local exchange, competitive ac- cess and/or interexchange in the District of Columbia and every state except Alaska and Hawaii. Zayo’s primary telecommunications service offerings include high-capacity bandwidth services such as private line, Ethernet, wavelength and higher services. Zayo does not provide voice services. Zayo does not provide telecommunications services in the ILEC territory of Scott-Rice, nor does Zayo provide telecommunications services in exchanges that are adjacent to the ILEC territory of Scott-Rice. (iii) Through GTCR Investment X, LLC, to its knowledge, Transferee is cur- rently 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, Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas; and (2) Onvoy, LLC and its subsidiaries, which provide or are authorized to provide competitive local exchange and/or interexchange telecommunications services in every state and the District of Columbia. (iv) To Transferee’s knowledge, Transferee is not affiliated with any other tel- ecommunications carriers. (a)(8) Applicants respectfully submit that this Application is eligible for streamlined pro- cessing pursuant to Sections 63.03 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §63.03. In particular, with respect to domestic authority, this Application is eligible for streamlined processing pursuant to 16

Section 63.03(b)(2)(ii) because, immediately following the Transaction, (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 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 (or affiliate to a party) to the Transaction. (a)(9) Other than their Section 214 authorizations described in this Application, Licen- sees do 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. However, the parties to the Transaction are targeting completion of the corporate steps resulting in the transfer of indirect control within approximately 60 days of signing the Agreement. Therefore, Applicants respectfully request expedited processing of the review and approval of this application in order to allow the parties to meet this schedule. (a)(11) Not applicable. (a)(12) Applicants submit that the Transaction is in the public interest. As part of Zayo, Licensees will continue to provide high-quality telecommunications services to consumers while gaining access to the additional resources and operational expertise of Zayo. Licensees will also benefit by being able to offer services to multi-location business and enterprise customers across a larger footprint in combination with Zayo. The network of EL Parent and its subsidiaries, including Licensees, complements Zayo’s network and the acquisition will increase Zayo’s existing fiber footprint. Approval of the Transaction also will serve the public interest in promot- ing competition among telecommunications carriers by providing Licensees with access to greater financial resources that will allow them to become more effective competitors to larger incumbent telecommunications providers. In essence, the Transaction will make Licensees and 17

Zayo stronger competitors and thereby benefit consumers. The Transaction described herein will not result in a change of carrier for any customers or any assignment of existing Commission authorizations. Further, the rates, terms and condi- tions of services currently provided by Licensees to their customers will not change as a result of the Transaction. Accordingly, the Transaction will be seamless to customers, who will continue to enjoy the same rates, terms and conditions of service as they do prior to closing. The only immediate change resulting from the Transaction will be that the Licensees will be ultimately owned by Zayo. 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 to transfer indirect ownership and control of Licensees to Transferee.
