family of telecommunications companies: VarTec
Telecom, Inc., Excel Telecommunications, Inc., Clear
Choice Communications, and VarTec Solutions, Inc.
(a/k/a eMeritus Communications, Inc.) (collectively,
the “VarTec Companies”). Soon, Comtel Telcom
Assets LP (“the Company”) will be acquiring the
assets of the VarTec Companies, and after obtaining
the necessary regulatory approvals, your services
will be provided by the Company, which will continue
to do business under the names of the various
VarTec Companies.The purchase will occur on or
after May 22, 2006 (the “effective date”).You will
notice no differences on your bill.Your local telephone
number will not change, and you will not incur any
additional charges.The rates and terms and conditions
for the phone services provided as of the
effective date by the VarTec Companies will remain
unchanged, except as provided for above.

The Company is excited to continue to provide you
with the same dependable, affordable communications
services. On the effective date, the Company will
automatically become your service provider for any
services you currently receive from the VarTec
Companies, unless you select another provider before
April 21, 2006, and the Company will maintain all
customer account information, including payments, deposits,
or other customer details.There will be no service interruption
to customers during this process. Customers
remain responsible for charges incurred before and after
the effective date. If, in the future, there are any changes
to your rates or the terms and conditions of your service,
you will be notified of those changes in accordance with
the terms and conditions and any applicable state and
federal requirements. Until the effective date, the VarTec
Companies will continue to be responsible for addressing
all billing and customer service issues. After the effective
date, you should refer your questions to the Company at
the same customer service number that you currently use
for the VarTec Companies; this information is provided
within for your convenient reference.

Regarding your provider, customers always have the right
to select another provider if they desire to do so and
another provider is available, or customers may otherwise
disconnect their services, subject to the terms of their
contract(s) with the VarTec Companies, if any. Customers
who wish to select an alternative provider need to contact
that provider or their local telephone company and
additional charges may apply. If customers select an
alternative provider after April 21, 2006, the selection may
not be processed until after the effective date.There will
be no change to the provider of any service customers

as a result of the purchase. If customers have a preferred
carrier “freeze” on any of the services being transferred,
the freeze will be lifted before the transfer, if required. If
lifted, in order to reinstate a preferred carrier freeze,
customers must contact their local service provider after
the effective date.
