intangible asset, a $58.0 million trade name intangible asset related to the FairPoint Communications trade name and a $0.4 million favorable leasehold

The customer list asset was valued based on a cost method which utilized average cost to acquire a new line multiplied by the number of existing
lines within the FairPoint network.
The trade name was valued based on the relief from royalty method which utilized projected revenue (excluding wholesale revenue), the royalty rate
that would be charged by an asset licensor to an unrelated licensee and a discount rate.
