(1) Since the inception of the share repurchase program ("Repurchase Program"), the Board of Directors has authorized a total of
$750.0 million for the repurchase of our common stock. The Board of Directors has also approved repurchasing common stock pursuant
to plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may repurchase our common stock from time to
time in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations and other legal requirements, and subject to market
conditions and other factors. The Repurchase Program does not require EarthLink to acquire any specific number of shares and may be
terminated at any time.
