ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

Mr. Derek Chang, Executive Vice President - Finance and Strategy and Interim co-Chief Financial Officer of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter"), the indirect parent company and manager of CC V Holdings, LLC and CC V Holdings Finance, Inc., is employed under the terms contained in an offer letter with Charter effective December 2, 2003 (filed as an exhibit to the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003) providing for an annual base salary of $400,000 and eligibility for an annual incentive target of 100% of the base salary (based on a combination of personal performance goals and overall company performance). Mr. Chang is also eligible to participate in Charter's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. Under this plan, Mr. Chang was granted 350,000 options to purchase shares of Charter's Class A common stock and 50,000 restricted shares on December 9, 2003. Mr. Chang is also entitled to participate in Charter's LTIP. Mr. Chang's agreement provides that one half of each of his unvested restricted shares would immediately vest, and one half of his unvested options of the initial option grant would vest if he is terminated without cause or if he elects to terminate his employment due to (1) a change in Charter's then-current Chief Executive Officer, (2) a change in reporting relationship to anyone other than the Chief Executive Officer, (3) a requirement that the employee relocate, or (4) a change of control of Charter, if terminated without cause. In addition, Mr. Chang would be entitled to eighteen months of full severance benefits at his current compensation rate, plus the pro rata portion of his bonus amounts within thirty days after termination because of any of these events. In light of the recent resignation of Mr. Vogel, Charter's former Chief Executive Officer, Charter and Mr. Chang have agreed that Mr. Chang will have until April 15, 2005 to exercise his right to terminate his employment and receive the foregoing vesting, severance and other benefits. A letter setting forth this agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
