   ITEM 5.05 - AMENDMENTS TO THE REGISTRANT'S CODE OF ETHICS, OR WAIVER
   OF A PROVISION OF THE CODE OF ETHICS.

   (a)  On May 6, 2008, the Board of Directors of Consolidated
   Communications Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") adopted amendments to
   the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code").  The
   amendments took effect immediately upon adoption by the Board of
   Directors.

   The amendments to the Code included the following:

        *    Reflecting the adoption of related policies and clarifying
             that certain Company policies, such as the insider trading
             policy and employee handbook, are not intended to be part of
             the Code, and deleting the insider trading policy as an
             Exhibit to the Code.

        *    Explaining that the Company's Audit Committee, in addition
             to the Board of Directors, has the authority to review and
             approve potential conflicts of interest.

        *    Clarifying that transactions between directors and officers,
             or entities with which they are affiliated, are not covered
             if the transactions are in the ordinary course of business
             of the Company and the director or officer has no material
             interest in the transactions.

        *    Adding the word "material" before the words "financial
             interest" in the portion of the Code that states that no
             director, officer or employee of the Company shall, without
             approval, be a consultant to, or a director, officer or
             employee of, or otherwise operate a business that has any
             such interest in an entity with which the Company does
             business that might create or give the appearance of a
             conflict of interest.

        *    Providing additional detail as to how anonymous complaints
             may be made.

        *    Adding a requirement that Company personnel cooperate in
             internal investigations.

        *    Making various other changes to update information or
             improve readability and clarity of the Code.

   The Company has posted the Code, as amended, on its website at
   www.consolidated.com.
