Item 1.01 Modification of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Sixth Amendment amends the Company’s Receivables Purchase Agreement originally entered into on March 23, 2007, among the Company, CB Funding, the various Purchaser Groups identified therein and PNC Bank, National Association, as amended, by reducing the size of the borrowing facility to $100,000,000 and adding Cincinnati Bell Any Distance of Virginia LLC (“CBADVA”) as an Originator. On June 7, 2010, the Company, CB Funding, and CBADVA entered into the Joinder and Third Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of June 7, 2010 among CBADVA as a New Originator, the Originators identified therein, CB Funding, and the Company as sole member of CB Funding and as Servicer (the “Joinder Agreement”). The Joinder Agreement amends the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of March 23, 2007 among CB Funding, the Company, and the various Originators identified therein (as amended, the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), by adding CBADVA as an Originator to the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
