 Amendment  to  Consent  Decree 
 The  undersigned  parties  hereby  agree  to  amend  the  Consent  Decree  executed  on  September  3, 
 2004,  and  adopted  by  the  Chief,  Enforcement  Bureau  of  the  Commission  in  the  above-  captioned  docket 
 by  Order  dated  September  7,  2004,  DA  04-  2847,  (the  “September  3rd  Consent  Decree”)  by  replacing 
 paragraph  2  of  the  September  3rd  Consent  Decree  with  the  revised  paragraph  and  footnote  set  forth 
 below.  This  amended  paragraph  and  footnote  includes  a  corrected  description  of  Primus 
 Telecommunications,  Inc.  and  its  business. 


 2.  Primus,  headquartered  in  McLean,  Virginia,  is  the  principal  U.  S.  operating  subsidiary  of  Primus  Telecommunications  Group,  Inc.  (“  PTGI”),  a  global 
 facilities-  based  telecommunications  services  provider  offering  international  and  domestic  voice,  Internet  and  data  services  to  business  and  residential  retail  customers,  as  well  as  to 
 other  carriers.  Primus  holds  numerous  authorizations  to  provide  telecommunications  services  from  the  FCC  and  state  public  utility  commissions.  In  the  past,  outbound 
 telemarketing  generated  approximately  40  percent  of  the  new  sales  in  Primus’s  International  Consumer  Marketing  (“  ICM”)  division.  1  Primus  does  not  engage,  however, 
 in  direct  telemarketing  to  residential  consumers.  In  September  2003,  Primus  hired  a  third  party  telemarketer,  Spanco  Telesystems  &  Solutions,  Ltd.  (“  Telemarketer”),  to  conduct 
 telemarketing  on  its  behalf. 


 1  The  revenues  attributed  to  Primus’s  ICM  division  constitute  approximately  2  percent  of  the  total  PTGI  corporate 
 revenues.

 force  without  change.  This  amendment  may  be  executed  in  counterparts.
