Expiration Date | The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2007, unless we extend it. | |||||
Registration Rights Agreement | You have the right, subject to certain restrictions, to exchange the initial notes that you hold for exchange notes that are substantially identical in all material respects to the initial notes. This exchange offer is intended to satisfy these rights. Once the exchange offer is complete, you will no longer be entitled to any exchange or registration rights with respect to your initial notes. | |||||
Accrued Interest on the Exchange Notes and Initial Notes | The exchange notes will bear interest from their issuance date. Holders of initial notes which are accepted for exchange will receive, in cash, accrued and unpaid interest on the initial notes to, but not including, the issuance date of the exchange notes. Such interest will be paid with the first interest payment on the exchange notes. | |||||
Conditions to the Exchange Offer | The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, which we may waive. You should read the discussion under “Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” for more information regarding conditions of the exchange offer. | |||||
Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes | If you are a holder of initial notes and wish to accept the exchange offer, you must either: | |||||
• | complete, sign and date the accompanying letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal; or | |||||
• | arrange for The Depository Trust Company to transmit required information to the exchange agent in connection with a book-entry transfer. | |||||
The exchange agent must receive such documentation or information and your initial notes on or prior to the expiration date at the address set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent.” | ||||||
Representation Upon Tender | By tendering your initial notes in this manner, you will be representing, among other things, that: |

Table of Contents
• | the exchange notes you acquire in the exchange offer are acquired in the ordinary course of your business; | |||||
• | you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the exchange notes issued to you in the exchange offer; and | |||||
• | you are not a party related to us. | |||||
Procedures for Beneficial Owners | If you are the beneficial owner of initial notes registered in the name of a broker, dealer or other nominee and you wish to tender your initial notes, you should contact the person in whose name your initial notes are registered and promptly instruct the person to tender on your behalf within the time period set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offer.” | |||||
Procedures for Broker-Dealers | Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for initial notes, where such initial notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. | |||||
Material U.S. Federal Tax Consequences | The exchange of initial notes for exchange notes will not result in any gain or loss to you for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Your holding period for the exchange notes will include the holding period for the initial notes and your adjusted tax basis of the exchange notes will be the same as your adjusted tax basis of the initial notes at the time of the exchange. For additional information, you should read the discussion under “U.S. Federal Tax Considerations.” | |||||
Failure to Exchange Will Affect You Adversely | Initial notes that are not tendered, or that are tendered but not accepted, will be subject to the existing transfer restrictions on the initial notes after the exchange offer and, subject to certain exceptions, we will have no further obligation to register the initial notes under the Securities Act of 1933. If you do not participate in the exchange offer, the liquidity of your initial notes could be adversely affected. | |||||
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures | If you wish to tender your initial notes and time will not permit your required documents to reach the exchange agent by the expiration date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on or prior to the expiration date, you may tender your initial notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedure.” |

Securities Offered | $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8 1/2% senior notes due 2015. The initial notes were issued and the exchange notes are being offered as additional debt securities under an indenture pursuant to which we previously issued $200,000,000 of 8 1/2% senior notes due 2015. The exchange notes will be of the same series as, and vote on any matter submitted to bondholders with, such previously issued 8 1/2% senior notes due 2015. | |||||

Ranking | The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations. They will: | |||||
• | effectively rank behind any of our secured debt and all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries; | |||||
• | rank equally in right of payment to all of our unsecured debt that does not expressly provide that it is subordinated to the notes; and | |||||
• | rank ahead of all our future debt that expressly provides that it is subordinated to the notes. |

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $1.6 billion of debt outstanding reflected on our consolidated balance sheet (including approximately $1.1 billion of debt of our subsidiaries), and our subsidiaries had approximately $531.1 million of unused credit commitments under the revolving credit portion of the bank credit facility of our subsidiaries, referred to as our subsidiary credit facility. | ||||||
Neither our manager, any of our subsidiaries, other than Mediacom Broadband Corporation, the co-issuer of the exchange notes, nor any of our manager’s other subsidiaries, including Mediacom LLC, will guarantee or otherwise be an obligor under the exchange notes, unless the covenant described in “Description of the Notes-Covenants-Limitation on Guarantees of Certain Indebtedness” applies. | ||||||
Optional Redemption | We may redeem some or all of the exchange notes at any time on or prior to October 14, 2010 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus an applicable premium calculated as set forth in this prospectus. We may redeem some or all of the notes at any time after that date at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. The redemption prices are described in the section “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.” | |||||
Change of Control | Upon a change of control, as defined under the section entitled “Description of the Notes,” you will have the right, as a holder of exchange notes, to require us to repurchase your exchange notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. | |||||
Restrictive Covenants | The indenture governing the exchange notes contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: | |||||
• | incur additional debt; | |||||
• | pay dividends on our equity interests or repurchase our equity interests; | |||||
• | make certain investments; | |||||
• | enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; | |||||
• | limit dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries to us; | |||||

(2) | “Adjusted OIBDA” is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization and non-cash, share-based compensation charges. | |
Adjusted OIBDA is one of the primary measures used by management to evaluate our performance and to forecast future results. We believe Adjusted OIBDA is useful for investors because it enables them to assess our performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management, and provides a measure that can be used to analyze, value and compare the companies in the cable television industry, which may have different depreciation and amortization policies, as well as different non-cash, share-based compensation programs. A limitation of Adjusted OIBDA, however, is that it excludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our business. Management utilizes a separate process to budget, measure and evaluate capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA has the limitation of not reflecting the effect of our non-cash, share-based compensation charges. | ||
Adjusted OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to either operating income or net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance nor should it be considered in isolation or a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted OIBDA. | ||
The following represents a reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to operating income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure (dollars in thousands): |

(4) | Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Refer to Exhibit 12.1 to this S-4. | |
(5) | Represents an estimate of the number of single residence homes, apartments and condominium units passed by the cable distribution network in a cable system’s service area. | |
(6) | Represents a dwelling with one or more television sets that receives a package of over-the-air broadcast stations, local access channels or certain satellite-delivered cable television services. Accounts that are billed on a bulk basis, which typically receive discounted rates, are converted into full-price equivalent basic subscribers by dividing total bulk billed basic revenues of a particular system by the average cable rate charged to basic subscribers in that system. Basic subscribers include connections to schools, libraries, local government offices and employee households that may not be charged for limited and expanded cable services, but may be charged for digital cable, VOD, HDTV, DVR or high-speed Internet service. Customers who exclusively purchase high-speed Internet or phone service are not counted as basic subscribers. Our methodology of calculating the number of basic subscribers may not be identical to those used by other companies offering similar services. | |
(7) | Represents customers that receive digital video services. |

(8) | Represents residential HSD customers and small to medium-sized commercial cable modem accounts billed at higher rates than residential customers. Small to medium-sized commercial accounts generally represent customers with bandwidth requirements of up to 10Mbps. These commercial accounts are converted to equivalent residential data customers by dividing their associated revenues by the applicable residential rate. Our data customers exclude large commercial accounts and include an insignificant number of dial-up customers. Our methodology of calculating data customers may not be identical to those used by other companies offering similar services. | |

Accounts that are billed on a bulk basis, which typically receive discounted rates, are converted into full-price equivalent basic subscribers by dividing total bulk billed basic revenues of a particular system by the average cable rate charged to basic subscribers in that system. Basic subscribers include connections to schools, libraries, local government offices and employee households that may not be charged for limited and expanded cable services, but may be charged for digital cable, VOD, HDTV, DVR or high-speed Internet service. Customers who exclusively purchase high-speed Internet or phone service are not counted as basic subscribers.

• | On May 5, 2006, we refinanced a $495.0 million term loan with a new term loan in the amount of $800.0 million. The new term loan consists of two tranches: (i) a $550.0 million term loan which was funded on May 5, 2006; and (ii) a $250.0 million delayed-draw term loan (the “Delayed-Draw Term Loan”). Borrowings under the new term loan bear interest at a rate that is 0.25% less than the interest rate of the term loan that it replaced. The new term loan matures in January 2015, whereas the term loan it replaced had a maturity of February 2013. | ||
• | On June 29, 2006, borrowings under the Delayed-Draw Term Loan were used: (i) to make a capital distribution to MCC to allow it to repay $172.5 million of its 5.25% convertible senior notes due July 1, 2006; (ii) to reduce borrowings (but not commitments) outstanding under the revolving credit portion of our subsidiary credit facility; and (iii) for working capital purposes. | ||
• | On July 17, 2006, we redeemed all of our outstanding 11% notes with available funds from our subsidiary Credit Facilities. | ||
• | On October 5, 2006, we issued $300 million of 8.5% Notes, and used the proceeds to reduce borrowings (but not commitments) outstanding under the revolving credit portion of our subsidiary credit facilities. | ||
• | We made distributions to MCC of $43.3 million primarily to fund its Board authorized share repurchase program during the year ended December 31, 2006. |

• | The Cable Act contains renewal procedures designed to protect us against arbitrary denials of renewal of our franchises although, under certain circumstances, the franchising authority could deny us a franchise renewal. Moreover, even if our franchise is renewed, the franchising authority may seek to impose upon us new and more onerous requirements, such as significant upgrades in facilities and services or increased franchise fees as a condition of renewal to the extent permitted by law. Similarly, if a franchising authority’s consent is required for the purchase or sale of our cable system or franchise, the franchising authority may attempt to impose more burdensome or onerous franchise requirements on the purchaser in connection with a request for such consent. Historically, cable operators providing satisfactory service to their subscribers and complying with the terms of their franchises have usually obtained franchise renewals. We believe that we have generally met the terms of our franchises and have provided quality levels of service. We anticipate that our future franchise renewal prospects generally will be favorable. | ||

decisions have been inconsistent and, until the U.S. Supreme Court rules definitively on the scope of cable operators’ First Amendment protections, the legality of the franchising process generally and of various specific franchise requirements is likely to be in a state of flux. Furthermore, the FCC recently issued an Order that limits the ability of local franchising authorities to impose certain “unreasonable” requirements, such as public, governmental and educational access, institutional networks and build-out requirements, when issuing competitive franchises. The Order effectively permits competitors with existing rights to use the rights-of-ways to begin operation of cable systems no later than 90 days and all others 180 days after filing a franchise application and preempts conflicting existing local laws, regulations and requirements including level-playing field provisions.
