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. Shandi Wicks December 8, 2014 Page 2 Additionally, please be advised that Grantee's notice address would be as follows, 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.
