(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 10(e) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing for or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly

for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 10(c) hereof.

(b)Indemnification by Selling Stockholder. Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by each Selling Stockholder hereunder, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees, partners and members and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 10, as incurred, but only with respect to (i) untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished or confirmed (in each case orally or in writing) to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein or (ii) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Selling Stockholder in this Agreement or any certificate or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto or contemplated hereby. The amount each Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this paragraph shall not be in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Stock sold by such Selling Stockholder exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Selling Stockholder may otherwise have to the Underwriter or to any director, officer, employee or controlling person of the Underwriter.

(c)Indemnification by the Underwriter. The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Stockholder, its respective directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 10, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), consists exclusively of the following information appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus: (i) the information regarding the concession and reallowance appearing in the paragraph appearing under the heading “Underwriting Discounts and Expenses” under such caption and (ii) the information regarding stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids appearing under the heading “Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids” under such caption (but only insofar as such information concerns the Underwriter) (such information, the “Underwriter’s Information”).

(d)Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: counsel to the Underwriter and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 10(a) above shall be selected by the Underwriter and counsel to the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Underwriter and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 10(a) above, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 10 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e)Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 10, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(f)Other Agreements with Respect to Indemnification and Contribution. The provisions of this Section 10 hereof shall not affect any agreements among the Company and the Selling Stockholder with respect to indemnification of each other or contribution between themselves.

(g)Contribution: If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Stock pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Stock pursuant to this Agreement (before

deducting expenses) received by the Selling Stockholder and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover.

The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholder Information on the one hand or the Underwriter’s Information on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing for or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, (i) the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Stock underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission (ii) no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Stock sold by such Selling Stockholder exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 10, each affiliate of the Underwriter, each officer, director, employee, partner and member of the Underwriter or any such affiliate, and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter, and each director of each of the Selling Stockholder or the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls either of the Selling Stockholder or the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Each Selling Stockholder’s respective obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the number of shares of Stock set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto and not joint.

11. [Reserved]

12. Termination. The Underwriter may terminate its obligations hereunder by notice given to and received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder prior to delivery of and payment for the Stock if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 9(m), 9(n), 9(o) and 9(p) shall have occurred or if the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

13. Reimbursement of Underwriter’s Expenses. If (a) any Selling Stockholder shall fail to tender the Stock for delivery to the Underwriter by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or the Selling Stockholder to perform any agreement on their part to be performed, or because any other condition (other than Section 9(p) to the Underwriter’s obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company or the Selling Stockholder is not fulfilled for any reason or (b) the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this

Agreement (other than as permitted under Section 9(p)), the Company will reimburse the Underwriter for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Stock, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriter. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be responsible, or obligated to reimburse the Underwriter, for any costs or expenses incurred by the Underwriter in connection with any road show.

14. Research Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriter’s research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from its respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that the Underwriter’s research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company and the Selling Stockholder hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company or the Selling Stockholder may have against the Underwriter with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company or the Selling Stockholder by the Underwriter’s investment banking divisions. The Company and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge that the Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

15. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, acknowledge and agree that in connection with this Offering, sale of the Stock or any other services the Underwriter may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriter: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company, Selling Stockholder and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, exists; (ii) the Underwriter is not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to either the Company or the Selling Stockholder, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Stock, and such relationship between the Company and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriter may have to the Company or Selling Stockholder shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriter and its respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Stockholder. The Company and the Selling Stockholder hereby waive any claims that the Company or the Selling Stockholder may have against the Underwriter with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this Offering.

16. Notices, Etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

LOCK-UP LETTER AGREEMENT

UBS SECURITIES LLC

1285 Avenue of the Americas

New York, NY 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) providing for the purchase by you of shares (the “Stock”) of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Lumos Networks Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and that you propose to reoffer the Stock to the public (the “Offering”).

In consideration of your execution of the Underwriting Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that, without your prior written consent the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of any option or warrant) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than the Stock), (2) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of shares of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) cause to be filed a registration statement with respect to any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock or any other securities of the Company (with the exception of a filing on Form S-8 related to the Company’s incentive plan) or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, for a period of 45 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Offering (such 45-day period, the “Lock-Up Period”).

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (A) any Common Stock to be sold by the undersigned pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, (B) transfers of shares of Common Stock as (i) bona fide gifts, (ii) transfer by will or intestacy to the undersigned’s legal representatives or heirs, (iii) sales or other dispositions of shares of any class of the Company's capital stock, in each case, that are made exclusively between and among the undersigned or members of the undersigned's family (including any trust for the benefit of the undersigned or the undersigned’s immediate family), (iv) Common Stock withheld for tax purposes in connection with the vesting and distribution of Common Stock, (v) transfer of shares of Common Stock to affiliates of the undersigned or to any investment fund or other entity controlled by the undersigned, its partners (if a partnership) or members (if a limited liability company) and (vi) Common Stock acquired by the undersigned in the open market transactions after the Offering; provided that it shall be a condition to any such transfer that (i) except in the case of (B)(ii) above, the transferee/donee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement (including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence) to the same extent as if the transferee/donee were a party hereto; (ii) except in the case of clause (A), (B)(iv), (B)(v) and (B)(vi) above, no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on a Form 5, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or 13D-A or 13G-A) made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period), (iii) except in the case of clause (A), (B)(iv), (B)(v) and (B)(vi) above, each party (donor, donee, transferor or

transferee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act) to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any public announcement of the transfer or disposition, and (iv) the undersigned notifies you at least two business days prior to the proposed transfer or disposition.

In addition, the restrictions set forth in the second paragraph of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement shall not prohibit or restrict the undersigned from (i) establishing a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, provided that no sales of Common Stock shall occur under such plan and no public disclosure of any such action shall be required or shall be made voluntarily by any person prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, or (ii) disposing of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act established on or prior to February 27, 2015 and not amended subsequent to such date.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the undersigned shall be permitted to make transfers, sales, tenders or other dispositions of Common Stock, or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, pursuant to a tender offer for all of the voting securities of the Company or any other transaction, including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation or other business combination, in each case, involving a change of control of the Company (including, without limitation, entering into any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the undersigned may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of Common Stock, or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, in connection with any such transaction, or vote any shares of Common Stock, or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, in favor of any such transaction), provided that all shares of Common Stock, or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, subject to this agreement that are not so transferred, sold, tendered or otherwise disposed of remain subject to this agreement; and provided further that it shall be a condition of transfer, sale, tender or other disposition that if such tender offer or other transaction is not completed, any shares of Common Stock, or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, subject to this agreement shall remain subject to the restrictions herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, and to the extent that you are unable to publish research reports under Rule 139 of the Securities Act and/or pursuant to NASD Rule 2711 of the rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, if (1) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or announces material news or a material event relating to the Company or (2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Letter Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or material event, unless you waive such extension in writing.

The undersigned hereby further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement during the period from the date of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as such may have been extended pursuant to the foregoing paragraph) has expired.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

It is understood that, if the Company notifies you that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Stock or the Offering is not completed by April 1, 2015, the undersigned is hereby automatically released from its obligations under this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

The undersigned understands that the parties to the Underwriting Agreement will proceed with the Offering in reliance on this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between you, the Company and the selling stockholders named therein.

[Signature page follows]

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Letter Agreement and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement hereof. Any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

Very truly yours,
