Supplemental Guarantor Information:

Debentures and notes, without collateral, issued by Windstream Services, LLC
In connection with the issuance of the 7.875 percent senior notes due November 1, 2017, the 8.125 percent senior notes due September 1, 2018, the 7.750 percent senior notes due October 15, 2020, the 7.750 percent senior notes due October 1, 2021, the 7.500 percent senior notes due June 1, 2022, the 7.500 percent senior notes due April 1, 2023 and the 6.375 percent senior notes due August 1, 2023 (“the guaranteed notes”), certain of Windstream Services’ wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), provide guarantees of those debentures. These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions, as well as joint and several. All personal property assets and related operations of the Guarantors are pledged as collateral on the senior secured credit facility of Windstream Services. Certain Guarantors may be subject to restrictions on their ability to distribute earnings to Windstream Services. The remaining subsidiaries of Windstream Services (the “Non-Guarantors”) are not guarantors of the guaranteed notes. Following the acquisitions of acquired businesses, the guaranteed notes were amended to include certain subsidiaries of the acquired businesses as guarantors. Windstream Holdings is not a guarantor of any Windstream Services debt instruments.

The following information presents condensed consolidating and combined statements of comprehensive income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, condensed consolidating balance sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and condensed consolidating and combined statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of Windstream Services, the Guarantors and the Non-Guarantors. Investments consist of investments in net assets of subsidiaries held by Windstream Services and other subsidiaries, and have been presented using the equity method of accounting.

Debentures and notes, issued by PAETEC Holding Corporation

In connection with the acquisition of PAETEC on November 30, 2011, Windstream Services acquired the PAETEC 2018 Notes (“the guaranteed notes”). Windstream Services and all former wholly-owned subsidiaries of PAETEC (the “Guarantors”) provide guarantees of those debentures. These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions, as well as joint and several. Certain Guarantors may be subject to restrictions on their ability to distribute earnings to Windstream Services. The remaining subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantors”) of Windstream Services are not guarantors of these guaranteed notes.

The following information presents condensed consolidating and combined statements of comprehensive income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, condensed consolidating balance sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, condensed consolidating and combined statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of Windstream Services, the Guarantors and the Non-Guarantors. Investments consist of investments in net assets of subsidiaries held by Windstream Services and other subsidiaries, and have been presented using the equity method of accounting.
