Licensees shall comply with the requirements of Section 1.768 (notifications and prior approval for submarine cable landing licensees that are or propose to become affiliated with a foreign carrier), 47 C.

Pursuant to the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of PC Landing Corp. (Second Amended Plan), filed September 30, 2005, PC Landing Corp. (Debtor- in- Possession) will emerge from bankruptcy and will be a wholly- owned indirect subsidiary of the reorganized Pacific Crossing Ltd. Each holder of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims will convert their debt into equity, receiving a pro rata share of equity in the reorganized Pacific Crossing Ltd., and thus ownership in the reorganized PC Landing Corp. The Second Amended Plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on November 10, 2005. In re PC Landing Corp., et al., Chapter 11, Case No. 02- 12086 (PJW) (Bankr. D. Del.). Pursuant to the Second Amended Plan, all the property of Pacific Crossing Ltd (Debtor- in- Possession) and its bankruptcy estate will revest in the reorganized Pacific Crossing Ltd. Thus, the reorganized PC Landing Corp. will own the U. S. cable landing stations, including real property, buildings, and terminal equipment, and will own the U. S. territory portions of PC- 1. PC Landing will be a wholly- owned subsidiary of Pacific Crossing UK, Ltd., which in turn will be a wholly- owned subsidiary of Pacific Crossing Ltd. Consequently, PC Landing will be a wholly- owned indirect subsidiary of Pacific Crossing Ltd. Regulatory Status of Cable: The Pacific Crossing cable system operates on a non- common carrier basis.
