ISP-PDR-20121121-00008 E TX Communications LLC Petition for Declaratory Ruling TX Communications LLC (TXC or "Petitioner") requests a declaratory ruling that its indirect foreign ownership above the 25 percent benchmark in section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), is in the public interest. TXC filed the petition in connection with an application for consent to assign common carrier point-to-point wireless licenses from Trillion Partners, Inc. to TXC. See ULS File No. 0005401821. TXC, a Delaware limited liability company, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TX Broadband Holding Company (TX Broadband), a Delaware company. Global Leveraged Capital Credit Opportunity Fund I (GLC COF I), an entity organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, a World Trade Organization (WTO) Member, has a 63.81% controlling interest in TX Broadband and thus indirectly in TXC. Global Leveraged Capital Primary Credit Fund (GLC PCF), a Delaware limited liability company, has a 22.82% interest in TX Broadband. Tatonka Capital Corporation (TCC), a Colorado corporation, has a 13.37% interest in TX Broadband. According to the Petition, the majority of the revenues derived by GLC COF I are from investments in U.S. companies. The day-to-day management, operational and investment decisions for GLC COF I are made by Global Leveraged Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is ultimately controlled by three U.S. citizens. Non-U.S. citizens or entities organized under the laws of other countries hold a total of 37.9% of the investment equity in GLC COF I, but no single foreign investor holds a 10 percent or greater share of GLC COF I. None of the investors has the ability to control or be involved in the day-to-day business operations, activities or decisions of GLC COF I. Petitioner asserts that the overall attributable non-U.S. ownership in TX Broadband, and thus the indirect foreign ownership in TXC, is 24.33% -- 24.18% through the foreign equity investment in GLC COF I and 0.15% through GLC PCF. The Petitioner states that, pursuant to the rules and policies established by the Commission's Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the indirect foreign ownership of TX Communications LLC in excess of the 25 percent benchmark in section 310(b)(4) of the Act is consistent with the public interest.

Jan. 21, 2010)). Applicant agrees to accept the terms and conditions for a waiver of the benchmark rate applicable to Cuba set forth in the FCC’s April 8, 2011 Memorandum Opinion and Order, IB DK No. 10-95, 26 FCC Rcd 5217. REMINDER: Applicants must certify that neither the applicant nor any party to the application is subject to a denial of federal benefits by federal and/or state courts under authority granted in 21 U.S.C. § 862. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.2001–.2003. An updated version of Section 63.09-.25 of the rules, and other related sections, is available at http://www.fcc.gov/ib/pd/pf/telecomrules.html Page 2 of 2
