RE: IdeaTek Telcom, LLC F/K/A Wildflower Telecommunications, LLC
Dear Ms. Wicks:
Group
I am writing in reference to that certain Franchise Ordnance No. 14-10742 dated on or
about August 18, 2014 (the "Franchise") between IdeaTek Telcom, LLC F/K/A Wildflower
Telecommunications, LLC ("Grantee") and the City of Salina ("City"). Grantee is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of IdeaTek, Systems, Inc. ("IdeaTek Parent"). On December 3, 2014 a Stock
Purchase Agreement was executed between IdeaTek Parent and Zayo Group, LLC ("Zayo" )' for
the purchase of Ideatek Parent's business by Zayo (the ``Transaction"). If the Transaction closes,
IdeaTek Parent would become a direct subsidiary of Zayo and the Franchise will be transferred
to Zayo.
Zayo Group, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company with principal offices in
Boulder, CO. Zayo is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Zayo Group Holdings, Inc., a
publically traded Delaware corporation. In Kansas, Zayo holds a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity from the Kansas Corporation Commission authorizing it to provide
telecommunications service in the State. Zayo provides bandwidth infrastructure solutions and
carrier -neutral colocation, offering telecommunications services to carrier and enterprise
customers over a nationwide and international fiber-optic network. Zayo does not provide
residential, voice, cable or video service. More information is available at www.zayo.com. Zayo
possesses the financial, managerial and technical qualifications to own and operate IdeaTek
Parent, its business and Grantee's facilities located within the City. As such, the Transaction
would further strengthen IdeaTek Parent's ability to operate and maintain its facilities, provide
its services and compete in the local telecommunications market.
Grantee provides this notice as courtesy to the City. If the City determines, in accordance
with applicable law, that it must consent to the transfer of the Franchise, Grantee respectfully
requests the City notify Grantee in writing and provide such consent within ten (10) days hereof.

effective upon closing the Transaction:
Zayo Group, LLC
1805 29th Street
Boulder, CO 80301
Attn: General Counsel, ZPI
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or additional information.
Very truly yours,
