Item 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On March 27, 2009, Charter Communications, Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and certain of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code.  Prior to filing the petitions in Bankruptcy Court and as part of its pre-arranged joint plan of reorganization (as amended, the "Plan"), the Company had entered into separate Restructuring Agreements (as amended, the "Restructuring Agreements"), with certain of its noteholders and with Mr. Paul G. Allen, the Company's chairman and primary shareholder.  The forms of Restructuring Agreements were originally filed by the Company on Form 8-K on February 13, 2009.  Among other things, the Restructuring Agreements are subject to termination if the effective date of the Plan shall not have occurred on or before November 12, 2009.

On November 10 and 11, 2009, the parties to the Restructuring Agreements each entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Restructuring Agreement so that each of the Restructuring Agreements, as amended, are now subject to termination if the effective date of the Plan shall not have occurred on or before November 27, 2009.

The Fifth Amendments to the Restructuring Agreements are available at www.kccllc.net/charter.
