Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 29, 2006, Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. (“Pac-West”), Qwest Communications Corporation (“QCC”) and Qwest Corporation (“Qwest Corp” and together with QCC, “Qwest”) entered into a Settlement and Restructuring Agreement (the “Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, which recites that it is for good and valuable consideration, QCC has agreed to pay to Pac-West approximately $6.5 million in lieu of fulfilling a portion of QCC’s minimum purchase requirements to Pac-West totaling approximately $8.3 million under existing arrangements that run through July 30, 2008. Pac-West received such payment on October 3, 2006. In addition, among other things, the parties committed to equal monthly minimum purchase requirements from one another through July 30, 2008, agreed to resolve certain billing and other disputes and to release each other from certain claims.

Assuming no increase in volume by Qwest above its continuing minimum commitment, this Agreement is expected to result in an increase in revenues from Qwest of $5.4 million for 2006 and a decrease in revenues from Qwest of $4.6 million and $2.6 million for 2007 and 2008, respectively, in each case, primarily attributable to Pac-West’s mature products.
