Hostile Tender Offers None of the proceeds of the sale of any Notes will be used to finance a Hostile Tender Offer.
Subsequent Rights Offerings In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
Network Upgrades and Distribution Upgrades The Participating TO shall design, procure, construct, install, and own the Network Upgrades and Distribution Upgrades described in Appendix A.

Provisioning Line Splitting and Splitter Space 3.8.1 The Data LEC, Voice CLEC or BellSouth may provide the splitter. When Southern Telecom or its authorized agent owns the splitter, Line Splitting requires the following: a non-designed analog Loop from the serving wire center to the NID at the End User’s location; a collocation cross connection connecting the Loop to the collocation space; a second collocation cross connection from the collocation space connected to a voice port; the high frequency spectrum line activation, and a splitter. The Loop and port cannot be a Loop and port combination (i.e. UNE-P), but must be individual stand-alone Network Elements. When BellSouth owns the splitter, Line Splitting requires the following: a non designed analog Loop from the serving wire center to the NID at the End User’s location with CFA and splitter port assignments, and a collocation cross connection from the collocation space connected to a voice port. 3.8.2 An unloaded 2-wire copper Loop must serve the End User. The meet point for the Voice CLEC and the Data LEC is the point of termination on the MDF for the Data LEC's cable and pairs. 3.8.3 The foregoing procedures are applicable to migration to Line Splitting Service from a UNE-P arrangement, BellSouth Retail Voice Service, BellSouth High Frequency Spectrum (CO Based) Line Sharing. 3.8.4 For other migration scenarios to line splitting, BellSouth will work cooperatively with CLECs to develop methods and procedures to develop a process whereby a Voice CLEC and a Data LEC may provide services over the same Loop.

The related letter of transmittal shall provide that, among other matters, in order for shares of Class A Common Stock to be validly tendered, each holder of shares of Class A Common Stock who tenders in the Tender Offer shall represent and warrant to CIG that (x) such holder has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer shares of Class A Common Stock in the Tender Offer, (y) such holder is not prohibited or restricted from tendering shares of Class A Common Stock in the Tender Offer by the terms of such shares or any Contract and (z) when such shares are accepted for payment by CIG, CIG shall acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all Liens. (c) The Schedule 14D-9 shall contain the recommendation of the Board described in Section 3.02(a) which recommendation shall not be withdrawn or amended without the prior written consent of CIG and NBCU; provided, however, that the Company’s recommendation may be withdrawn or modified by the Board without the prior written consent of CIG and NBCU to the extent that the Board determines in the good faith exercise of its reasonable business judgment, after receiving the advice of outside counsel, that such recommendation would no longer be consistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law. On the date filed with the SEC and on the date first disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, the Schedule 14D-9 shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no representation is made by the Company with respect to written information supplied by CIG or the NBCU Entities specifically for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9.

CIG and the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Tender Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Each of CIG, the NBCU Entities and the Company shall promptly correct or supplement any information provided by it for use in the Tender Offer Documents if and to the extent that it shall have become false and misleading in any material respect, and CIG and the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Tender Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company, the NBCU Entities and their respective counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review the initial Tender Offer Documents before they are filed with the SEC. CIG, the NBCU Entities and their respective counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review the initial Schedule 14D-9 before it is filed with the SEC.
