     Except as specifically set forth herein, the
provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules attached thereto remain in full force and
effect. This letter amendment shall not constitute an

Re: Amendment to the Purchase Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of December 9, 2002, as amended to the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), among Cincinnati Bell Inc. (f/k/a Broadwing Inc.), an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and the persons specified as Purchasers in Schedule 1 to the Purchase Agreement, regarding the purchase of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2009 and warrants to purchase common stock of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

     The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1. The Purchase Agreement shall be amended as follows:

     1.1. The following new Section 1A is hereby added immediately after Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement:

     “1 A. The Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that Schedule 1A sets forth as of January 31, 2005 (except to the extent that such Schedule 1A refers to an earlier date, in which case as of such date) all material liabilities of the members of the BCI Group as of the date hereof that would be required to be reflected in, or referred to in the notes to, a balance sheet of the BCI Group prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.”

     1.2.    Clause (ii) of Section 9 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     “(ii) Annual Statements. As soon as available, but in any event within ninety-five (95) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, or, in the case of the information required by clause (x) below for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, only, within one hundred twenty-five (125) days after the end of such fiscal year, a copy of:

     (x) (a) an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries and (b) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Restrictive Subsidiaries, in each case as at the end of such year, together with consolidating balance sheets for each of the Company’s Primary Business Segments, and

     (y) (a) audited consolidated statements of income or operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries and (b) unaudited consolidated statements of income or operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case for such year, together with consolidating information for each of the Company’s Primary Business Segments,

in each case setting forth in comparative form the figures for the prior fiscal year, all in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with GAAP, fairly presenting, in all material respects, the financial position of the companies being reported on and their results of operations and cash flows, subject to changes resulting from normal year-end adjustments, and accompanied by:

     (A) with respect to the financial statements referred to in clauses (x)(a) and (y)(a) above, an opinion thereon of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing, which opinion shall state that such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the companies being reported upon and their results of operations and cash flows and have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and that the examination of such accountants in connection with such financial statements (other than

2

consolidating statements) has been made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States, and that such audit provides a reasonable basis for such opinion in the circumstances,

     (B) with respect to the financial statements referred to in clauses (x)(a) and (y)(a) above, a written statement by the independent certified public accountants giving the report thereon stating whether, in connection with their audit examination, any condition or event that constitutes a Default or Event of Default with respect to the covenants contained in Section 5.02 and Section 5.04 of the Indenture has come to their attention and, if such a condition or event has come to their attention, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof; provided that such accountants shall not be liable by reason of any failure to obtain knowledge of any such Default or Event of Default that would not be disclosed in the course of their audit examination, and

     (C) a certificate of the chief financial officer or chief executive officer on behalf of the Company stating that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to periodic financial statements generally and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the companies being reported on and their results of operations and income, retained earnings and stockholders’ equity, and cash flows;

provided, however, that if the Company is then subject to the reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the delivery by the Company to such Purchaser or such Subsequent Purchaser of an Annual Report on Form 10-K or any successor form within the time periods above described shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 9(ii) with respect to financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries;  provided that the documents referred to in clauses (A) and (C) of this Section 9(ii) shall nonetheless be provided.”

     1.3. Clause (iii) of Section 9 is hereby amended by deleting clause (3) thereof in its entirety and renumbering clause (4) thereof as clause (3).

     1.4. The Schedules to the Purchase Agreement are hereby amended by adding thereto Schedule 1A that is attached to this letter agreement.

     2. Except as specifically set forth herein, the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules attached thereto remain in full force and effect. This letter agreement shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Purchase Agreement and shall not be construed as a waiver or consent to any further or future action on the part of the Company, except to the extent expressly set forth herein.

     3. The amendments to the Purchase Agreement set forth in this letter agreement will become effective only upon the consummation of a refinancing of, or an amendment or waiver to, the Company’s Third Amendment and Restatement of the

3

Credit Agreement dated as of November 17, 2003, as amended to the date hereof, among the Company, BCSI Inc., the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent, Credit Suisse First Boston and The Bank of New York, as co-documentation agents, and the other persons party thereto, that permits such amendments.

4

     This letter agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict-of-law principles thereof which would require the application of laws of any other state.
