INTRODUCTION A. Summary of Transaction U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp. (“Transferor” or “TPx Holdings”), Arrival Communications, Inc. (“Arrival”), DSCI, LLC (“DSCI”), Mpower Communications Corp. (“Mpower”), TPx Communications Co. (“TCC”), U.S. TelePacific Corp. (“TelePacific” and jointly with Arrival, DSCI, Mpower, and TCC, the “Licensees”) and Tango Private Holdings II, LLC (“Transferee” or “Tango”) (and jointly with the Licensees, the “Applicants”), pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 214, and Sections 63.04 and

63.24 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.04, 63.24, request authority to complete a transaction that will result in the transfer of control of Licensees to Tango (the “Transaction”). The Transaction will result in a change in the ultimate control of Transferor and Licensees to Transferee, a U.S. investor. Upon closing, Transferor’s current equity holders will collectively and indirectly hold a class of junior equity in an indirect parent company of Transferee through Tango Qualified Stockholder Holdings, LLC, with no right to a board seat, no special or redemption rights, and no individual or entity holding a 10% or greater indirect interest in Transferor. The Transaction will not adversely affect competition for the provision of telecommunications services in the jurisdictions currently served by Licensees because the customers served by Licensees have, and following consummation of the Transaction will continue to have, access to competitive alternatives. Moreover, no assignment of licenses, assets, or customers will occur as a consequence of the proposed Transaction. Immediately after the closing, Licensees’ customers will receive services from Licensees at the same rates, terms and conditions. B. Request for Streamlined Processing This Application is eligible for streamlined processing pursuant to Sections 63.03 and 63.12 of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 63.03 & 63.12. With respect to domestic authority, this Application is eligible for streamlined processing pursuant to Section 63.03(b)(2)(i) because, immediately following the Transaction, (1) Applicants and their affiliates, as defined in Section 3(1) of the Communications Act (“Affiliates”), combined will hold less than ten percent (10%) of the interstate, interexchange market; (2) Applicants and their Affiliates will continue to provide local exchange service only in areas served by dominant local exchange carriers (none of which is 2

a party to the proposed Transaction) and; (3) none of the Applicants or their Affiliates is dominant with respect to any service. With respect to international authority, 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). Applicants request streamlined processing pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §63.12(c)(1)(ii) as they qualify for a presumption of non-dominance based on a non-dominant affiliation with a Canadian foreign carrier as described herein. In support of this Application, Applicants provide the following information: II. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANTS A. Transferor and Licensees TPx Holdings, a Delaware corporation, has its headquarters at 515 S. Flower Street, 45th Floor, Los Angeles, California, 90071-2201. Licensees are wholly owned subsidiaries of Transferor and provide facilities-based business communications services, including local, long distance, data and Internet services to small-to-medium sized businesses. TPx Holdings, Licensees and their controlled affiliates are collectively referred to as “TPx.” Below is a brief description of each Licensee and its Section 214 authority: 1. TelePacific, a California corporation, provides business communications services, including local, long distance, data and Internet services to thousands of small-to-medium sized businesses in California, Nevada and New Mexico. TelePacific holds blanket domestic Section 214 authority and holds international Section 214 authority granted in File Nos. ITC-214- 19970828-00514 and ITC-214-19970210-00076. 2. Arrival, a Delaware corporation, provides telecommunications services in California. Arrival holds blanket domestic Section 214 authority and holds international Section 214 authority granted in File No. ITC-214-19950920-00031. 3

3. DSCI, a Delaware limited liability company, provides telecommunications services in California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont. DSCI holds blanket domestic Section 214 authority and holds international Section 214 authority granted in File No. ITC-214-20040309-00098 as assigned in File No. ITC-ASG-20140430-00138. 4. Mpower, a Nevada corporation, provides telecommunications services in California and Nevada. Mpower holds blanket domestic Section 214 authority and holds international Section 214 authority granted in File Nos. ITC-214-19970731-00440. 5. TCC, a Washington corporation, provides telecommunications services in Texas. TCC holds blanket domestic Section 214 authority and holds international Section 214 authority granted in File No. ITC-214-20050214-00568. B. Transferee Tango is a Delaware limited liability company with principal offices at c/o Siris Capital Group, LLC, 601 Lexington Avenue, 59th Floor, New York, New York 10022. Tango is an affiliate of Siris Capital Group, LLC, a leading investment equity firm focused on driving value creation in technology and telecommunications companies. Tango was formed for the purpose of acquiring TPx Holdings. For the purpose of accomplishing the Transaction, Tango has created a merger subsidiary, Tango Private Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tango. Tango is ultimately controlled—through intermediary entities—on a day-to-day basis by Frank Baker, Peter Berger, and Jeffrey Hendren, all of whom are U.S. citizens. The investment vehicles that indirectly invested in Tango are structured with numerous limited partners holding most of the equity, none of whom ultimately own more than 10% of the indirect equity of Tango. 4

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION TPx Holdings, Tango, Merger Sub, and Investcorp International, Inc. (as Stockholder Representative) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement”) on August 17, 2019. Pursuant to the Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into TPx Holdings, at which time Merger Sub will cease to exist with TPx Holdings surviving the merger. As a result, immediately following the consummation of the Transaction, TPx Holdings will be a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Tango and Licensees will be indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Tango. Applicants therefore request authority for the transfer of control of Licensees to Tango. For the Commission’s reference, the pre and post-Transaction structure charts are attached as Exhibit A. The Transaction will be seamless to Licensees’ customers. Following the proposed Transaction, Licensees’ customers will receive services from Licensees pursuant to existing authorizations as well as existing tariffs and contracts. The Applicants intend to maintain the Licensees’ managerial, technical and operational standards. IV. PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT The proposed Transaction will serve the public interest in promoting competition among telecommunications providers. The proposed Transaction is expected to enhance the financial conditions and prospects of Licensees, increase their liquidity and accelerate the introduction of new communications technologies, products and services to their customers. These enhancements will allow Licensees to strengthen their competitive positions to the benefit of their customers and the telecommunications marketplace. The Transaction will allow TPx to pursue growth strategies and to expand its operations both in terms of service area coverage and through the ability of each TPx entity to offer customers an expanded line of products and services. As a result, Applicants believe Licensees will be able to compete more effectively against incumbent carriers and larger competitive carriers. 5

In prior proceedings, TPx Holdings made commitments (“Commitments”) to the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense that addressed national security issues with respect to the location of and access to billing records and other subscriber information, as well as other law enforcement concerns, and the FCC made the 1 Commitments a condition of approval of each prior transaction. The proposed Transaction will not limit or in any way change the Commitments made by TPx Holdings. Although no foreign equity holder will individually own 10% or more of Licensees upon the Transaction closing, the Applicants agree to retain and comply with the Commitments. Given the competitive nature of the telecommunications market, Applicants seek to complete the proposed Transaction as soon as possible to ensure that customers can promptly obtain the benefits of the proposed Transaction. Accordingly, Applicants request that the Commission process, consider, and approve this Application as expeditiously as possible. 1 See e.g., Application for the Transfer of Control of DSCI, LLC to U.S. TelePacific Corp., WC Docket No. 16-67, DA 16-1028 and IB File No. ITC-T/C-20160307-00115, DA No. 16- 1042; Application for the Transfer of Control of Tel West Network Services Corporation to U.S. TelePacific Corp., WC Docket No. 11-112, DA 11-1747 and IB File No. ITC-T/C-20110628- 00182, DA 11-1852; In the Matter of Covad Communications Group, Inc., Transferor, NextWeb, Inc., Licensee, and U.S. TelePacific Corp., Transferee, Petition of Declaratory Ruling Under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act, as Amended, IB File No. ISP-PDR-20110106- 0001, DA No. 11-544, and WB File Nos. 0004550716, 0004555335, and 0004600142; In the Matter of the Joint Application of O1 Communications, Inc., Assignor, and U.S. TelePacific Corp., Assignee, for grant of authority pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 63.04 of the Commission’s Rules to complete an assignment of assets of an authorized U.S. domestic section 214 carrier, WC Docket No. 10-156, DA 10-1515; In the Matter of the Joint Application of Mpower Holding Corporation, Transferor, and U.S. TelePacific Holdings Corp., Transferee, for authority pursuant to Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, for the transfer of control of an authorized U.S. domestic and international Section 214 carrier, WC Docket No. 06-107, DA 06-1556 and IB File No. ITC-T/C-20060518-00282, DA No. 06-1526. 6

No other individual or entity is expected to hold a 10% or greater direct or indirect interest in the Applicants.
