On September 29, 2009, Windstream Corporation ("Windstream") issued a press release announcing its intention to seek the consent of its lenders to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment and Restatement") to amend and restate Windstream's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2007, as amended (the "Existing Agreement"). The Second Amendment and Restatement would amend and restate the Existing Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturities of the facilities, increase the interest rates on loans which have extended maturities and amend certain covenants to afford Windstream additional flexibility.

Windstream is proposing in the Second Amendment and Restatement that the maturities of its revolving facility and Tranche A loans be extended from July 2011 to July 2013. Windstream is also proposing that the maturity of Tranche B loans be extended from July 2013 to December 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the credit facilities, each lender must determine whether or not to extend the maturity of its individual loans.

The press release announcing commencement of the Second Amendment and Restatement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
