Taxes

Integra Telecom recognizes its obligation to administer its customer billing in accordance with the rules and guidelines set forth by tax authorities at all levels of government (i.e. federal, state, county and city). One of our operational/financial goals is to support this obligation to the fullest extent possible.

Integra conducts internal reviews of its customer billing to insure that the Company is in compliance with tax rules and/or guidelines, and changes thereto. Any billing issues identified are then reviewed by internal tax experts and/or external tax consultants.

As is true for most all service providers, customer billing at Integra is subject to review by various tax authorities, who also conduct formal audits on a periodic basis. These audits are specifically designed to assess the accuracy and comprehensiveness of our tax billing. If the audits identify any variances between the authority’s rules and our practices Integra amends its practices to achieve full compliance.

Integra uses sophisticated operational support systems (OSS) including state‐of‐the‐art billing and taxation software. The Company’s significant financial investment in OSS bears witness to its commitment to deliver timely, accurate and comprehensive invoices to Integra’s customers. Integra is confident that its systems generate tax billing that is compliant with industry standards and government regulations. Taxes collected from our customers are remitted to the appropriate tax authorities in a timely and comprehensive manner.

Surcharges and Fees

Various jurisdictions and agencies also assess surcharges or fees for telephone-related services and programs such as E911 and Telephone Relay Service (TRS) that telecommunications providers like Integra must collect from their enduser customers and remit to these organizations. There are also surcharges that telecommunications providers are permitted, but not required, to pass through to customers such as the Federal Universal Service Fund. These are costs that Integra must cover to stay in business. Integra separately itemizes these surcharges and fees on customer invoices rather than include these amounts in higher rates for services. Lastly, competitive telecommunications providers are permitted to structure rates in a manner that fits their business priorities. Integra has chosen to apply certain surcharges and fees depending on the types of services subscribed to by its end-user customers.

Taxes and Government Fees

Charge

Definition

Universal Service Fund (USF)

Universal Service Fund surcharges support the provision of affordable telecommunications services to rural, isolated, and high-cost areas; low-income residential subscribers; schools and libraries; and rural health care programs. All communications companies (including local, long distance, cellular, and paging providers) must contribute to the Federal Universal Service Fund; and several states also have Universal Service programs funded by rate-payers.

Telecommunications Assistance "Lifeline" Programs (e.g.

TAP, LITAP)

These surcharges fund "Lifeline" programs. These are state-run programs to lower the cost of residential telephone service for persons who meet certain income guidelines, have a disability, or are at least 65 years of age. TAP surcharges are assessed to all telephone customers (except Lifeline recipients) at a flat rate per line.

Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) & Telephone Assistance for Communications Impaired Persons (TACIP)

TRS programs enable telephone conversations for communications impaired persons through the use of special equipment and Relay Service operators. TRS programs are administered at both the state and federal level. Many states also have programs that provide for the distribution of communications devices to eligible communications-impaired persons.

E911 Emergency System Charge The E911 surcharge funds community 911 emergency telephone systems.

Public Utility Commission Fee (PUC) Some states require telecommunications providers to collect fees to support the operations of the state public utilities commission.

Federal, State and Local Taxes, Surcharges & Fees

Integra collects and remits a range federal, state, and local taxes, surcharges and fees levied on communications providers for the sale of goods and services on behalf of the government entities that mandate these charges. These include, but are not limited to, sales taxes and municipal franchise fees. These taxes and fees vary by jurisdiction.

Integra Surcharges

In addition to government taxes and fees the following Integra surcharges apply (see specific pricing schedules for IAC and ICF):

Charge

Definition

Interstate Access Charge (IAC)

The IAC defrays the costs of maintenance and upkeep of Integra's network so that customers can access the interstate telecommunications network to place and receive interstate, off-shore and international long distance calls. This monthly recurring charge is assessed as a flat rate per line or circuit for single and multi-line customers.

Interconnection Fee (ICF) The ICF is designed to recover portions of the Company's costs of interconnection to the public switch telephone network (PSTN). The ICF is a monthly recurring charge assessed as a flat per line or circuit.

Network Access Assessment (NAA)

The NAA is assessed as a percentage of recurring charges for local and intrastate services (depending on service location); interstate and international services, data, IP-platform and cloud services; private-line services; and the Interstate Access Charge (IAC) and Interconnection Fee (ICF).

Integra Telecom’s core strategy relies upon continued and substantial investment in its world-class fiber optic network. The combined companies invest significant capital in the growth of this network, anticipating over $100 million invested in 2011 and into the foreseeable future. This investment is funded by the substantial free cash flow the company generates from over $600 million in annual revenue.

INTEGRA’S PRIVATE NETWORKING SERVICES

Harness the power of convergence. Integra's Private Networking offer facilitates connecting multiple offices, combining voice, data and Internet traffic over a single connection. Whether you have two sites or 200, Integra can customize a secure, reliable solution to maximize networking efficiencies. And you can choose to manage your own network connections or have Integra manage them for you. The decision is yours.

Harness the next evolution of telecom. Multi-protocol Label Switching or MPLS is used to enhance the flow of traffic on a network by making better use of available network paths. MPLS exploits Quality of Service (QoS) tagging or Class of Service (CoS) priority, which network designers use to schedule the packet's movement across a network.

Integra's extensive fiber footprint within all metro areas we serve enables us to offer a wide variety of access types and speeds including fiber, Ethernet Solutions and Traditional Telephony. Intelligent integration means access to the public internet over the same transport circuits as the private network is available.

Why Integra? A Cutting Edge Network and Unprecedented Reach through cloud-based computing technologies.

Ethernet Local Area Network (ELAN) Ethernet Local Area Network is a Multipoint-to-Multipoint service and provides any-to-any connectivity. Data traffic is switched with Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) identifiers and Class of Service (CoS) queues are available to prioritize the data traffic.

Ethernet Benefits:

• Scalability: from 3 Mbps to 10 Gbps, you're able to incrementally increase bandwidth to meet the dynamic needs of your organization

• Manageability: the power to maximize the efficiency of your network is in your hands. By enabling you to manipulate CoS queues, and make priority changes, you can ensure you're taking advantage of under-utilized bandwidth

• Cost-effectiveness: by converging all of your traffic over a single, centrally managed infrastructure you're not only able to reduce the costs of extra circuits, but the associated management costs as well

• Reliability: with Integra's dedicated fiber owned backbone…
