On July 1, 2008, as previously announced by Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter"), the indirect parent company of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC, Charter Communications Holdings Capital Corporation, CCH II, LLC, CCH II Capital Corp., CCO Holdings, LLC and CCO Holdings Capital Corp., in a Form 8-K filed on June 23, 2008, Eloise E.

As of July 1, Ms. Schmitz's annual base salary increased to $525,000 and she received grants of 92,593 shares of restricted stock, 108,932 performance units and $100,000 in performance cash pursuant to the terms of Charter's 2008 Incentive Program. In addition, her annual bonus target under Charter's Executive Bonus Plan will be 75% of her annual base salary. It is anticipated that Ms. Schmitz will enter into an amended and restated employment agreement, the terms of which will include the above-referenced terms; additional terms included in Charter's employment agreements with Executive Vice Presidents include that in the event of a termination by Charter without cause or by Ms. Schmitz for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement), Charter shall pay her two times her annual base salary and a lump sum equal to 24 months of COBRA payments (compared to the one year payments in the current agreement).
