Explanation of Responses:
1. The Subordinated Accreting Note (the "Note") was acquired by a corporation that is controlled by the Reporting Person in exchange for securities of a subsidiary of the Issuer, in settlement of a dispute between the Reporting Person, corporations controlled by the Reporting Person (including the corporation that acquired the Note), the Issuer and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer. The Note bears interest at the rate of 14% per year, which will be added to the initial accreted value of the Note through February 28, 2009 and will be added to the accreted value of the Note to the extent not paid in cash.
2. At any time, the holder of the Note may exchange the then-accreted value of the Note for membership units of Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC, which units may be further converted into Class B Common Stock of the Issuer pursuant to an agreement between the Reporting Person, the Issuer and certain other entities and such shares of Class B Common Stock may be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer at any time. The Note is also exchangeable at the option of Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC for membership units after February 28, 2009 customary under certain circumstances and is redeemable for cash by the issuer of the Note under certain circumstances. The Note's exchange price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified dilutive events.
