`* Debtor was previously in the business of providing, among other things, ISP services (Intemet dial-up service)
`to residential and commercial customers. Debtor's ISP serviceswere provided to its customers on a twelve month
`pre-paid basis. As part of the sale of its ISP division to Earthlink Services, Inc. in November, 2000, ISP
`customers may have claims based on the Debtor's failure to fulfill its pre-paid service obligations. The maximum
`obligation owedto any one ISP customer was $75. There were approximately 17,500 ISP customers on the date
`of the division sale. As of this date, only a nominal number of rebate claims have been made.
