On September 28, 2005, Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter) announced the closing of the

CCH I Holdings, LLC Notes

amount of 9.92% to 13.50% senior accreting notes due 2014 and 2015 in exchange for an aggregate
amount of $2.4 billion of Charter Holdings notes due 2011 and 2012, spread over six series of notes
and with varying interest rates as set forth in the succeeding
sentence. The notes are guaranteed by Charter Holdings and are governed by the Indenture
dated as of September 28, 2005 among CCH I Holdings, LLC and CCH I Holdings Capital Corp., as
Issuers and Charter Communications Holdings, LLC, as Parent Guarantor, and The Bank of New York
Trust Company, NA, as Trustee, governing: 11.125% Senior Accreting Notes due 2014, 9.920% Senior

In the event that a specified change of control event happens, CIH and CCH I Holdings Capital Corp.
must offer to repurchase any outstanding notes at a price equal to the sum of the accreted value of
the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a premium that varies over time.
The indenture governing the CIH notes contains restrictive covenants similar to those contained in
the indenture governing the Charter Holdings notes with the following exceptions:
|
|
|
The debt incurrence covenant permits up to 9.75 billion (rather than 3.5 billion) of
debt under credit facilities (less the amount of net proceeds of asset sales applied to
repay such debt as required by the asset sale covenant). |
|
|
|
|
CIH and its restricted subsidiaries are generally permitted to pay dividends on equity
interests, repurchase interests, or make other specified restricted payments only if, after
giving pro forma effect to the transaction, the CIH Leverage Ratio would be below 8.75 to
1.0 and if no default exists or would exist as a consequence of such incurrence. If those
conditions are met, restricted payments in a total amount of up to the sum of (1) the
greater of (a) $500 million or (b) 100% of CIH consolidated EBITDA, as defined,
minus 1.2 times its consolidated interest expense, plus (2) 100% of new cash and non-cash
equity proceeds received by CIH and not allocated to the debt incurrence
covenant or to permitted investments, all cumulatively from March 1999, the date of the
first Charter Holdings indenture. |
|
|
|
|
Instead of the $150 million and $50 million permitted investment baskets, there is a $750 million permitted investment basket. |
CCH I, LLC Notes
In September 2005, CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. jointly issued $3.5 billion total principal amount
of 11% senior secured notes due October 2015 in exchange for an aggregate amount of $4.2 billion of
certain Charter Holdings notes. The notes are guaranteed by Charter Holdings and are secured by a
pledge of 100% of the equity interest of CCH Is wholly owned direct subsidiary, CCH II. Such
pledge is subject to significant limitations. The pledge agreement is
filed herewith as Exhibit 10.15. Interest
on the CCH I notes accrues at 11% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 1
and October 1, commencing on April 1, 2006. The notes are governed by the Indenture dated as of
September 28, 2005 among CCH I, LLC and CCH I Capital Corp., as Issuers, Charter Communications
Holdings, LLC, as Parent Guarantor, and The Bank of New York Trust Company, NA, as Trustee,
governing 11.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 and filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2.
The CCH I notes are senior debt obligations of CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. To the extent of the
value of the collateral, they rank senior to all of CCH Is future unsecured senior indebtedness.
The CCH I notes are structurally subordinated to all obligations of subsidiaries of CCH I,
including the CCH II notes, CCO Holdings notes, the Renaissance notes and the Charter Operating
notes. CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. may, prior to October 1, 2008 in the event of a qualified
equity offering providing sufficient proceeds, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount
of the CCH I notes at a redemption price of 111% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.
Aside from this provision, CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. may not redeem at their option any of the
notes prior to October 1, 2010. On or after October 1, 2010, CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp. may
redeem, in whole or in part, CCH I notes at the applicable prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) listed below, plus accrued and unpaid interest if redeemed during the twelve
month period beginning on October 1 of the years listed below.

If a change of control occurs, each holder of the CCH I notes will have the right to require the
repurchase of all or any part of that holders CCH I notes at 101% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest. The
indenture governing the CCH I notes contains restrictive covenants that limit certain transactions
or activities by CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries, including the covenants summarized below.
Substantially all of CCH Is direct and indirect subsidiaries are currently restricted
subsidiaries. The covenant in the indenture governing the CCH I notes that restricts incurrence of
debt and issuance of preferred stock permits CCH I and its subsidiaries to incur or issue specified
amounts of debt or preferred stock, if, after giving pro forma affect to the incurrence or
issuance, CCH I could meet a leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated debt to four times EBITDA, as
defined, from the most recent fiscal quarter for which internal financial reports are available) of
7.5 to 1.0.
In addition, regardless of whether the leverage ratio could be met, so long as no default exists or
would result from the incurrence or issuance, CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries are permitted
to incur or issue:
|
|
|
up to $9.75 billion of debt under credit facilities (less the amount of net proceeds of
asset sales applied to repay such debt as required by the asset sale covenant); |
|
|
|
|
up to $75 million of debt incurred to finance the purchase or capital lease of new assets; |
|
|
|
|
up to $300 million of additional debt for any purpose; and |
|
|
|
|
other items of indebtedness for specific purposes such as intercompany debt,
refinancing of existing debt, and interest rate swaps to provide protection against
fluctuation in interest rates. |
The restricted subsidiaries of CCH I are generally not permitted to issue debt securities
contractually subordinated to other debt of the issuing subsidiary or preferred stock, in either
case in any public offering or private placement. The CCH I indenture generally permits CCH I and
its restricted subsidiaries to incur debt under one category, and later reclassify that debt into
another category. The Charter Operating credit facilities generally impose more restrictive
limitations on incurring new debt than those in the CCH I indenture, so our subsidiaries that are
subject to credit facilities are not permitted to utilize the full debt incurrence that would
otherwise be available under the CCH I indenture covenants.
Generally, under the CCH I indenture:
CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries are permitted to pay dividends on equity interests,
repurchase interests, or make other specified restricted payments only if CCH I can incur $1.00 of
new debt under the leverage ratio test, which requires that CCH I meet a 7.5 to 1.0 leverage ratio
after giving effect to the transaction, and if no default exists or would exist as a consequence of
such incurrence. If those conditions are met, restricted payments are permitted in a total amount
of up to 100% of CCH Is consolidated EBITDA, as defined, minus 1.3 times its consolidated interest
expense, plus 100% of new cash and appraised non-cash equity proceeds received by CCH I and not
allocated to certain investments, all cumulatively from September 28, 2005, plus $100 million.
In addition, CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries may make distributions or restricted payments,
so long as no default exists or would be caused by the transaction:
|
|
|
to repurchase management equity interests in amounts not to exceed $10 million per
fiscal year; |
|
|
|
|
to pay, regardless of the existence of any default, pass-through tax liabilities in
respect of ownership of equity interests in CCH I or its restricted subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
to enable certain of its parents to pay interest on certain of their indebtedness; |
|
|
|
|
to enable certain of its parents to purchase, redeem or refinance certain indebtedness,
so long as CCH I could incur $1.00 of indebtedness under the 7.5 to 1.0 leverage ratio test
referred to above; or |
|
|
|
|
to make other specified restricted payments including merger fees up to 1.25% of the
transaction value, repurchases using concurrent new issuances, and certain dividends on
existing subsidiary preferred equity interests. |
The indenture governing the CCH I notes restricts CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries from making
investments, except specified permitted investments, or creating new unrestricted subsidiaries, if
there is a default under the indenture or if CCH I could not incur $1.00 of new debt under the 7.5
to 1.0 leverage ratio test described above after giving effect to the transaction.
Permitted investments include:
|
|
|
investments by CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries in CCH I
and in other restricted subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
or entities that become restricted subsidiaries as a result
of the investment; |
|
|
|
|
investments aggregating up to 100% of new cash equity proceeds received by CCH I since
September 28, 2005 to the extent the proceeds have not been allocated to the restricted
payments covenant described above; |
|
|
|
|
other investments up to $750 million outstanding at any
time; and |
|
|
|
|
certain specified additional investments, such as investments in customers and suppliers
in the ordinary course of business and investments received in connection with permitted
asset sales. |
CCH I is not permitted to grant liens on its assets other than specified permitted liens. Permitted
liens include liens securing the purchase price of new assets, liens securing indebtedness up to
$50 million and other specified liens. The lien covenant does not restrict liens on assets of
subsidiaries of CCH I.
CCH I and CCH I Capital Corp., its co-issuer, are generally not permitted to sell all or
substantially all of their assets or merge with or into other companies unless their leverage ratio
after any such transaction would be no greater than their leverage ratio immediately prior to the
transaction, or unless CCH I and its subsidiaries could incur $1.00 of new debt under the 7.50 to
1.0 leverage ratio test described above after giving effect to the transaction, no default exists,
and the surviving entity is a U.S. entity that assumes the CCH I notes.
CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries may generally not otherwise sell assets or, in the case of
restricted subsidiaries, issue equity interests, unless they receive consideration at least equal
to the fair market value of the assets or equity interests, consisting of at least 75% in cash,
assumption of liabilities, securities converted into cash within 60 days or productive assets. CCH
I and its restricted subsidiaries are then required within 365 days after any asset sale either to
commit to use the net cash proceeds over a specified threshold to acquire assets, including current
assets, used or useful in their businesses or use the net cash proceeds to repay certain debt, or
to offer to repurchase the CCH I notes with any remaining proceeds.
CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries may generally not engage in sale and leaseback transactions
unless, at the time of the transaction, CCH I could have incurred secured indebtedness in an amount
equal to the present value of the net rental payments to be made under the lease, and the sale of
the assets and application of proceeds is permitted by the covenant restricting asset sales.
CCH Is restricted subsidiaries may generally not enter into restrictions on their ability to make
dividends or distributions or transfer assets to CCH I on terms that are materially more
restrictive than those governing their debt, lien, asset sale, lease and similar agreements
existing when they entered into the indenture.
The restricted subsidiaries of CCH I are generally not permitted to guarantee or pledge assets to
secure other debt of CCH I, unless the guarantying subsidiary issues a guarantee of the CCH I notes
and waives any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation arising from the guarantee
transaction for at least one year.
The indenture also restricts the ability of CCH I and its restricted subsidiaries to enter into
certain transactions with affiliates involving consideration in excess of $15 million without a
determination by the board of directors that the transaction is on terms no less favorable than
arms-length, or transactions with affiliates involving over $50 million without receiving an
independent opinion as to the fairness of the transaction to the holders of the CCH I notes.
In addition, as part of the transaction, Holdings and another Charter subsidiary, Charter
Communications Holdings Capital Corporation, entered into supplemental indentures. The supplemental
indentures are described as follows and are filed as exhibits hereto:
