SCL-ASG-20051025-00027 P PC Landing Corp. Assignment Grant of Authority Date of Action: 12/12/2005 Current Licensee: PC Landing Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) FROM: PC Landing Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) TO: PC Landing Corp. Action Taken: Grant of authority to assign the non-common carrier Pacific Crossing cable system ("PC-1"), SCL-LIC-19980807-00010 (formerly, SCL-98-006), from PC Landing Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) to the reorganized PC Landing Corp. The PC-1 cable consists of four segments connecting each of its four landing stations: Ajiguara, Japan to Habour Pointe, Washington; Shima, Japan to Grover Beach, California; Ajiguara to Shima; and Habour Pointe to Grover Beach. Conditions and Requirements: See PC Landing Corp., Application for a License to Land and Operate in the United States a Private Fiber Optic Submarine Cable System Extending Between the United States and Japan, File No. SCL-98-006, Cable Landing License, DA 98-2351, 13 FCC Rcd 23384, 23389-91, para. 19 (Int'l Bur. 1998); Actions Taken Under Cable Landing License Act, SCL-MOD-20020807-00086, Public Notice, DA No. 02-3177, 17 FCC Rcd 22962 (2002) (modifying conditions to add new pro forma condition set out in 47 C.F.R. 1.767(g)(7)). Licensees shall comply with the requirements of Section 1.768 (notifications and prior approval for submarine cable landing licensees that are or propose to become affiliated with a foreign carrier), 47 C.F.R. § 1.768. Licensee Information: On July 19, 2002, Pacific Crossing Ltd., and its wholly-owned subsidiary PC Landing Corp., entered into bankruptcy (see SCL-ASG-20020913-00076). Pursuant to the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of PC Landing Corp. (Second Amended Plan), filed September 30, 2005, PC Landing Corp. (Debtor-in-Possession) will emerge from bankruptcy and will be a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the reorganized Pacific Crossing Ltd. Each holder of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims will convert their debt into equity, receiving a pro rata share of equity in the reorganized Pacific Crossing Ltd., and thus ownership in the reorganized PC Landing Corp. The Second Amended Plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on November 10, 2005. In re PC Landing Corp., et al., Chapter 11, Case No. 02-12086 (PJW) (Bankr. D. Del.). Pursuant to the Second Amended Plan, all the property of Pacific Crossing Ltd (Debtor-in-Possession) and its bankruptcy estate will revest in the reorganized Pacific Crossing Ltd. Thus, the reorganized PC Landing Corp. will own the U.S. cable landing stations, including real property, buildings, and terminal equipment, and will own the U.S. territory portions of PC-1. PC Landing will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Crossing UK, Ltd., which in turn will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Crossing Ltd. Consequently, PC Landing will be a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Pacific Crossing Ltd. Regulatory Status of Cable: The Pacific Crossing cable system operates on a non-common carrier basis. See Cable Landing License, File No. SCL-98-006, 13 FCC Rcd 23384, 23386-87, paras. 1, 6-9.
