* There were insufficient earnings available to cover fixed charges for the years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2009. As a result, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than 1.0 for each of such periods.

** ITC^DeltaCom’s pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges gives effect to the company’s use of proceeds from its sale on April 9, 2010 of $325 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 to repay $305.5 million aggregate amount of indebtedness, including all principal and accrued and unpaid interest, outstanding under its first lien and second lien senior secured credit facilities and its revolving credit facility, which were terminated upon repayment. ITC^DeltaCom used approximately $9.5 million of the proceeds from that offering to pay offering fees and expenses and used or expects to use the remainder of the proceeds from that offering for general corporate purposes. On such pro forma basis, there were insufficient earnings available to cover fixed charges for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2010. As a result, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than 1.0 for each of such periods.
