Corporate Governance
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. This Code of Ethics applies to our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, as well as all other employees. This Code of Ethics is publicly available on our website at www.xo.com. If we make substantive amendments to this Code of Ethics or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a report on Form 8-K within five days of such amendment or waiver.

On March 15, 2007, the Audit Committee approved a waiver to the Company’s Code of Ethics in order to permit Mr. Wayne Rehberger, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, to continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors for Startec Global Communications (“Startec”). Mr. Rehberger has served on the Startec’s Board of Directors for approximately two years. He requested that he be permitted to continue in that capacity in response to an amendment to the Company’s Code of Ethics Policy that required all employees to obtain Audit Committee approval to serve on the board of any for profit company. The waiver was deemed necessary because the Company’s Code of Ethics Policy requires employees to avoid any conflict of interest and even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Mr. Rehberger’s service on the Startec board created a conflict of interest because both Startec and the Company provide telecommunication services to small businesses (albeit with significantly different target customer pools), both the Company and Startec provide a dial up internet access product, and Startec is a customer of the Company. The waiver was determined to be appropriate because the Company and Startec serve different contingencies and are not actual competitors in any significant manner. The approval for Mr. Rehberger to continue to serve on the Startec Board included specific conditions which would require Mr. Rehberger to recuse himself from any discussions or activities at Startec or at the Company that might potentially implicate the interests of the other party.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that the Company’s executive officers and directors and any holder of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Company common stock file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of such stock with the Commission. To the knowledge of the Company, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company’s executive officers and directors and the holders of 10% or more of the outstanding Company common stock were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee oversees and monitors the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee, which consisted entirely of three independent directors, met eight times in fiscal year 2006. Messrs. Knauss, Dell and Gradin each individually meet the independence criteria prescribed by applicable law and the rules of the SEC for Audit Committee membership, and each is an “independent director” as defined in NASD Rule 4200(a)(15). Mr. Knauss was designated by the Board as the “audit committee financial expert” under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
The Audit Committee completed its review and discussions with management regarding the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as may be modified or supplemented, and received from the independent accountants written disclosures and the letter regarding their independence required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as currently in effect, and discussed with the independent accountants their independence.
Based on the review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Director Nominations
There has been no material change to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s board of directors.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview
This compensation discussion and analysis explains the material elements of the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of our executive officers who served as our named executive officers during the last completed fiscal year.
Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy
The compensation committee of our board of directors is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight for XO Holdings’ executive compensation program. XO Holdings’ executive compensation program is designed to take into account competitive marketplace compensation for executive talent, internal equity, individual results, skills and experience.
Our compensation committee intends to implement and maintain compensation plans that tie a portion of executives’ overall compensation to key strategic goals such as financial and operational performance, as measured by metrics such as revenue, EBITDA and cash. Our compensation committee reviews individual executives with a goal of setting compensation at levels the committee believes are comparable with those of executives at other companies of similar size and stage of growth, while taking into account our operational performance.
The principal elements of our executive compensation program are base salary, annual cash bonus awards, long-term equity incentives in the form of stock options, other benefits and perquisites and post-termination severance for certain named executive officers upon change in control. Our other benefits and perquisites consist of life and health insurance benefits and a qualified 401(k) savings plan.
We view these components of compensation as related but distinct. Although our compensation committee does review total compensation, we do not believe that significant compensation derived from one component of compensation should negate or offset compensation from other components. We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on competitive benchmarking consistent with our recruiting and retention goals, our view of internal equity and consistency, and other considerations we deem relevant, such as rewarding extraordinary performance.
Determination of Compensation Awards
Our compensation committee believes that market and industry peers represent appropriately broad benchmarks for setting overall compensation levels. An individual review is then conducted for our named executive officers in which we seek to obtain compensation data specific to the position. Our compensation committee also meets with members of our senior management to learn about our business operations and strategy, key performance metrics and target goals, and the labor and capital markets in which we compete. The compensation committee uses the results of these reviews as a factor in setting compensation targets for our executive officers.
Our compensation committee meetings typically have included, for all or a portion of each meeting, not only the committee members but also our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President of Human Resources, and when appropriate, our Chief Financial Officer and our General Counsel. For compensation decisions, including decisions regarding the grant of equity compensation, relating to executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, our compensation committee typically considers recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer.
Review of Base Compensation, Bonus and Equity Holdings
Our compensation committee believes that it is important for us to offer competitive cash and equity compensation to our executives, commensurate with high levels of performance. In instances where an executive officer is uniquely key to our success, our compensation committee may provide compensation reflecting that individual contribution. Our compensation committee’s judgments with regard to market levels of base compensation and aggregate equity holdings were based on the collective experiences of the members of our compensation committee as well as a desire to allow executives to share in XO Holdings’ successes and failures by varying performance-based compensation from target levels based upon business and individual performance. Our compensation committee believes that our compensation structure reflects alignment between the long-term interests of executives and the interest of shareholders.
Base Compensation
XO Holdings’ executive salary structure is based on broad salary bands. Individual salary reflects the executive’s scope of responsibility, competitive data relative to the market, experience, and individual performance. Base salary is a factor in determining the amount of awards under, and eligibility to participate in, our compensation programs.
9
Annual Cash Bonus Awards
The XO Annual Cash Bonus is XO Holdings’ primary vehicle for recognizing Company, business unit, and individual performance for the past year. We believe that having an “at risk” element for all of our executives gives them a financial stake in the achievement of our business objectives, on an annual basis, and therefore motivates them to use their best efforts to ensure the achievement of those objectives. We believe that one year is a valuable measurement period that should be included in a compensation program because we measure and report our business accomplishments annually, as do our primary peers and other public companies. In 2006, our Annual Cash Bonus program used revenue, cash and EBITDA operational performance metrics. Performance against these metrics determined the funding level of the XO Annual Bonus Plan.
Equity Compensation
Our primary long-term incentive compensation for executives is the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. This program evaluates and rewards performance over longer periods than our annual incentive program. The Program generally provides grants to executives upon hire, when promoted, or for performance. The amount of the grant is based upon salary grade level, and in the case of performance grants, individual performance. It is our current practice under this program to set the option price at $5.00 or Fair Market Value, whichever is higher at the time of grant.
In 2006, our compensation committee determined that our named executive officers had a sufficient equity stake in us, consisting of existing options, to align their interests with ours and our stockholders and consequently there were no grants in 2006 to our named executive officers other than the grants to Mr. Freiberg of non-qualified stock options to purchase 35,000 and 100,000 shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $5.00 and $5.30, respectively.
Our stock options have a 10-year contractual exercise term. In general, the option grants are also subject to the following post-termination and change in control provisions:
| | | | |
Event | | Award vesting | | Exercise term |
Termination by the Company for reason other than death, total and permanent disability or cause | | Unvested options terminate immediately upon termination of employment | | Vested options are exercisable for 3 months following cessation of employment, but in no event after the expiration date of such options |
| | | | |
Total and permanent disability or death | | Unvested options terminate immediately upon total and permanent disability or death | | Vested options are exercisable for 12 months following cessation of employment, but in no event after the expiration date of such options |
| | | | |
Termination for cause | | Vested and unvested options immediately upon termination for cause | | None |
| | | | |
Termination by the Company without good cause or termination by certain executives for good reason within 1 year of a change in control | | Immediate vesting of all unvested options | | Vested options are exercisable for 3 months following cessation of employment, but in no event after the expiration date of such options |
These terms are more fully described below in “— Employment Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements.”
Executive Benefits and Perquisites
In General.We provide the opportunity for our named executive officers and other executives to receive certain perquisites and general health and welfare benefits. We offer participation in our defined contribution 401(k) plan and match a portion of employee contributions under our plan.
Change in Control and Severance Benefits
In General.We provide the opportunity for certain of our named executive officers to receive additional compensation or benefits under the severance and change in control provisions contained in their employment agreements. Our severance and change in control plan and additional agreements with Messrs. Grivner and Rehberger are summarized below in “— Employment Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements.” Our analysis indicates that our severance and change in control provisions are consistent with the provisions and benefit levels of other companies disclosing such provisions as reported in public SEC filings. We believe our arrangements are reasonable in light of the fact that severance benefits are limited to eighteen (18) months under the change in control severance plan and no increase in severance benefits would occur on a change in control except as set out in “— Employment Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements.”

Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and discussed that Analysis with management. Based on its review and discussions with management, the committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Amendment. This report is provided by the following directors who comprise the committee:
Vincent J. Intrieri, Chairman
Keith Meister
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. From March 2005 to December 2006, Mr. Intrieri was a senior vice president, treasurer and secretary of ARI, a company of which Mr. Icahn is the chairman of the board and a director. From August 2003 to April 2005, Mr. Meister was the president, and in 2005 served as chief executive officer, of API, a company of which Mr. Icahn is the chairman of the board. Other than their respective positions with ARI and API, none of the members of the Compensation Committee is an employee of any entity for which an executive officer of the Company serves on the board of directors. (As Chairman of the Board of the Company, Mr. Icahn is an officer of the Company with such duties as may be assigned by the Board. Although no such duties have been assigned to date, other than service on committees of the Board, Mr. Icahn could be deemed to be an executive officer of the Company.) None of the members of the Compensation Committee is or was at any time in the past an officer of the Company. No member of the Compensation Committee has any relationship required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

Employee Benefits Plans
2002 Stock Incentive Plan
The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan is the only equity compensation arrangement currently maintained by XO Holdings and is designed to align long-term interests of executives with the interests of shareholders. It is the practice under this program to set option exercise prices at $5.00 per share or Fair Market Value per share, whichever is higher at the time of grant. The capability of XO Holdings to issue equity incentives will enhance our ability to reward highly qualified individuals as our officers, directors, and employees.
The following table summarizes the Company’s equity compensation plan information as of December 31, 2006. The information below includes all equity compensation awards issued by the Company.

(1) | | Includes options issued pursuant to two separate programs that the Company had adopted under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan: the 2003 Employee Retention and Incentive Plan and the 2003 Annual Bonus Plan. |
As of March 31, 2007, a total of 5,973,349 shares of Company common stock remained available for new awards under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (not including shares subject to outstanding awards), and a total of 9,714,103 shares were subject to outstanding options (of which approximately 6,933,603 shares were fully vested and available for exercise as of such date).
2002 Stock Incentive Plan Programs.In addition to grants of options approved by the Compensation Committee in accordance with customary hiring and promotion practices, the Compensation Committee and the Board have approved and adopted two programs pursuant to which options have been granted under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan.
2003 Employee Retention and Incentive Plan.In June 2003, the Compensation Committee approved the adoption of the 2003 Employee Retention and Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the Employee Retention and Incentive Plan. This plan replaced an existing retention plan, which we refer to as the Restructuring Retention Plan, and nearly all of the participants thereunder exchanged their rights to participate in the Restructuring Retention Plan for the right to participate in the Employee Retention and Incentive Plan. The Employee Retention and Incentive Plan provided for the payment of cash bonuses and the issuance of options to some of the Company’s employees based upon the attainment of certain performance goals. A registration statement covering the offer and sale of stock options and stock appreciation rights, or SARs, to be granted in conjunction with the Employee Retention and Incentive Plan for an aggregate award of 1,900,000 shares of Company common stock has been filed with the SEC. Pursuant to the Employee Retention and Incentive Plan, as of December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 79,498 shares of Company common stock and 6,636 SARs, 50% of which were vested and exercisable on the date of grant, with the remaining 50% vesting ratably every month for twenty-four months following the month of grant. No further grants under the Employee Retention and Incentive Plan are permitted.
2003 Annual Bonus Plan.In June 2003, XO Inc. adopted the 2003 Annual Bonus Plan, which we refer to as the Bonus Plan. The Bonus Plan provides for the payment of cash bonuses and the issuance of options to the Company’s employees who were ineligible to participate in the Employee Retention and Incentive Plan. The payment of bonuses and the issuance of options under the Bonus Plan was contingent upon the same performance targets as contained in the Employee Retention and Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 19,057 shares of Company common stock under the Bonus Plan. The financial goals and the terms of the Bonus Plan were established by the Board. None of our officers or employees were eligible to participate in both the Employee Retention and Incentive Plan and the Bonus Plan. No further grants under the Bonus Plan are permitted.

Employment Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements
Executive Agreements.Carl J. Grivner and Wayne M. Rehberger each have an executive agreement with the Company under which Mr. Grivner and Mr. Rehberger may continue to receive base salary and benefits in certain circumstances after resignation or termination of employment. The Company has established a change in control severance plan for certain covered executives, including Mr. Grivner, Mr. Rehberger, Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents of the Company under which covered executives may receive severance compensation after resignation or termination of employment following a change in control of the Company.
Under the executive agreement with Mr. Grivner, the Company is obligated to pay him an amount equal to his annual base salary, plus his target annual bonus, if a “change in control” occurs and he is terminated without “cause” or resigns for “good reason.” The amount the Company is obligated to pay is reduced by any cash severance benefit otherwise paid to Mr. Grivner under any applicable severance plan or other severance arrangement.
Under the executive agreement with Mr. Rehberger, the Company is obligated to pay him an amount equal to his base salary, plus annual bonus and any benefits which he reasonably would have expected to receive during the six (6) months prior to the date of termination or resignation, if Mr. Rehberger is terminated without “cause” or resigns based on circumstances constituting “constructive termination.” Mr. Rehberger is also entitled to benefits under the Company’s change in control severance plan.
Under the change in control severance plan, the Company is obligated to pay severance compensation to certain executives if, within twelve (12) months after the effective date of a “change in control” or prior to an anticipated “change in control,” such executive is terminated without “cause” or resigns for “good reason.” The severance compensation the Company is obligated to pay is an amount equal to a specified number of months multiplied by the sum of (i) the executive’s highest annual rate of base salary in effect within one (1) year prior to the “change in control” and (ii) the maximum annual target bonus in effect on the date of the “change in control” (subject to certain limitations). The multiplier is six (6) months for a Director, Sales and Non-Sales, twelve (12) months for a Vice President, Sales and Non-Sales and eighteen (18) months for a Senior Executive, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer. The Company is also obligated to pay or provide the executive accrued but unpaid annual base salary through the date of termination or resignation, accrued unused vacation pay, continued medical coverage under COBRA and all other accrued or vested benefits.

| • | | failure substantially to perform the executive’s duties (which remains uncured for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice by the executive), |
|
| • | | misconduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, or |

| • | | willful gross misconduct (including, without limitation, fraud or embezzlement) while employed by the Company, or |
|
| • | | conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony while employed by the Company. |
For purposes of the executive agreement with Mr. Grivner, “good reason” means
| • | | the assignment to the executive of any duties inconsistent with the executive’s status as a key management employee of the Company or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the executive’s responsibilities, |
|
| • | | a reduction in the executive’s annual base salary or target annual bonus, |
|
| • | | a geographic relocation of more than thirty-five (35) miles from the executive’s current principal location, or |

|
| • | | a material breach by the Company of any provision of the executive agreement (which remains uncured for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice by the Company). |
For purposes of the change in control severance plan, “good reason” means
| • | | a reduction in the executive’s title or the assignment of the executive to duties which result in a substantial diminution of the executive’s position, duties or responsibilities, excluding a temporary or occasional assignment by the Company made for reasons of business necessity and in the good faith judgment of the Company (which remains uncured for thirty (30) says after receipt of written notice by the Company), |
15

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Transactions with Related Persons
Various entities, controlled by the Company’s Chairman, hold the following interests in the Company:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Outstanding | | Series A, B and C | | | | |
| | Common Stock | | Warrants | | Credit Facility | | Preferred Stock |
At December 31, 2005 | | Greater than 50% | | Greater than 40% | | Greater than 90% | | | 95 | % |
At December 31, 2006(1) | | Greater than 50% | | Greater than 40% | | Greater than 90% | | | 52 | % |
(1) | | According to Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D of Cardiff, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2006, on April 28, 2006, Cardiff, an entity affiliated with the Company’s Chairman, sold in a private sale to qualified institutional buyers an aggregate of 1,725,000 shares of the Company’s 6% Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). |
As a result of his ownership of a majority of the Company’s common stock, the Company’s Chairman can elect all of the Company’s directors. Currently, three employees of entities controlled by the Company’s Chairman are members on the Company’s Board of Directors and many of its committees. Under applicable law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws, certain actions cannot be taken without the approval of holders of a majority of the Company’s voting stock, including, without limitation, mergers, acquisitions, the sale of substantially all the Company’s assets, and amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.
The Company’s Chairman, through Cardiff, has the right to require the Company to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shares of the Company’s common stock and Preferred Stock held by Cardiff and to include shares of the Company’s common stock and Preferred Stock held by Cardiff in certain registration statements filed by the Company from time to time.
The Company provides certain telecommunications services to companies affiliated with its Chairman. The total revenue recognized on such services for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $3.2 million, $3.3 million, and $2.0 million, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company purchased approximately $0.5 million, $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in services from companies affiliated with its Chairman.
During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company purchased approximately $2.9 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in hardware and services from Dell Computers, Inc. Mr. Adam Dell, an XO Holdings director, is the brother of Mr. Michael Dell, the Chairman of Dell Computers, Inc.
The Company does not expect to meet its EBITDA covenant for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007. On March 6, 2007, XOC obtained a waiver of compliance with respect to the minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant contained in the Credit Facility for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. This waiver prevents the lenders under the Credit Facility from accelerating repayment of the outstanding indebtedness for a breach of the covenant for which the waiver was granted under the Credit Facility until the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008. The waiver was obtained from an affiliate of the Company’s Chairman, which holds a majority of the Company’s loans outstanding under that agreement.
Related party transaction reports are reviewed on a quarterly basis by the controller’s office and Company management and disclosed as appropriate in financial reports. Internal controls over related party transactions are tested annually.
