      2.    Registration Under the Securities Act.

            (a)   Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Issuers agree
to file under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable, but no later than 120
days after the Closing Date, a registration statement relating to an offer to
exchange (such registration statement, the "Exchange Offer Registration
Statement", and such offer, the "Exchange Offer") any and all of the Notes for a
like aggregate principal amount of notes issued by the Issuers, which notes are
substantially identical in all material respects to the Notes (and are entitled
to the benefits of a trust indenture which has terms identical in all material
respects to the Indenture or is the Indenture and which has been qualified under
the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been registered pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act and do not contain
provisions for the additional interest contemplated in Section 2(c) below (such
notes hereinafter called "Exchange Notes"). The Issuers agree to use their
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to
become or be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable,
but no later than 180 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange Offer will be
registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply with
all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. The
Issuers further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to complete the
Exchange Offer promptly, but no later than 30 business days or longer, if
required by the federal securities laws, after such registration statement has
become effective, hold the Exchange Offer open for at least 30 days and exchange
Exchange Notes for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered
and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer. The
Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been "completed" only if the Exchange
Notes received by holders, other than Restricted Holders, in the Exchange Offer
in exchange for Registrable Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each
such holder without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of a
substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. The Exchange
Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon the earlier to occur of (i)
the Issuers having exchanged the Exchange Notes for all outstanding Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (ii) the Issuers having exchanged,
pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange Notes for all Registrable Securities
that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the
Exchange Offer, which shall be on a date that is at least 30 business days
following the commencement of the Exchange Offer. The Issuers agree (x) to
include in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any
resales by any holder of Exchange Notes that is a broker-dealer and (y) to keep
such Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for a period (the "Resale
Period") beginning when Exchange Notes are first issued in the Exchange Offer
and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the 180th day after the
Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such broker-dealers no longer
own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, such holders shall have the


                                       5
<PAGE>
benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Sections
6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.

            (b)   If (i) on or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is completed
existing law or Commission policy or interpretations are changed such that the
Exchange Notes received by holders, other than Restricted Holders, in the
Exchange Offer in exchange for Registrable Securities are not or would not be,
upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the
Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 210 days
following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not available to any
holder of the Notes, the Issuers shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause
(iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by Section
2(a), file under the Securities Act on or prior to 30 business days after the
time such obligation to file arises, a "shelf" registration statement providing
for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the
holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any
similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the "Shelf
Registration" and such registration statement, the "Shelf Registration
Statement"). The Issuers agree to use their reasonable best efforts (x) to cause
the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective by the
Commission no later than 90 days after such obligation to file arises and to
keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period
ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Effective Time or
(ii) such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding;
provided, however, that no holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling
securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus
forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder
is an Electing Holder, and (y) after the Effective Time of the Shelf
Registration Statement, promptly upon the request of any holder of Registrable
Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, to take any action reasonably
necessary to enable such holder to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for
resales of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action
necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf
Registration Statement, provided, however, that nothing in this clause (y) shall
relieve any such holder of the obligation to return a completed and signed
Notice and Questionnaire to the Issuers in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii)
hereof. The Issuers further agree to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf
Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules, regulations or
instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Issuers for such
Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations
thereunder for shelf registration, and the Issuers agree to furnish to each
Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to its being
used or promptly following its filing with the Commission.

            (c)   In the event that (i) the Issuers have not filed the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on or before the
date on which such registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to
Section 2(a) or 2(b), respectively, or (ii) such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or Shelf Registration


                                       6
<PAGE>
Statement has not become effective or been declared effective by the Commission
on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to become
or be declared effective pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b), respectively, or
(iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 30 business days after
the initial effective date of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement relating
to the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange Offer is then required to be made) or
(iv) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement
required by Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof is filed and becomes or is declared
effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Issuers or shall
become subject to an effective stop order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the
Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement
(except as specifically permitted herein) without being succeeded immediately by
an additional registration statement filed and declared effective (each such
event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a "Registration Default" and each
period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, a
"Registration Default Period"), then, as liquidated damages for such
Registration Default, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), special
interest ("Special Interest"), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue on
the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes at a per annum rate of
0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum
rate of 0.50% for the second 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a
per annum rate of 0.75% for the third 90 days of the Registration Default Period
and at a per annum rate of 1.0% thereafter for the remaining portion of the
Registration Default Period. All accrued Special Interest shall be paid in cash
by the Issuers on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture).
Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in
the case of an event referred to in clause (ii) above, a "Registration Default"
shall be deemed not to have occurred so long as the Issuers, in their sole
reasonable judgment, are using and continuing to use their reasonable best
efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become or be declared effective.

            (d)   The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to take
all actions necessary or advisable to be taken by them to ensure that the
transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated in Section 2(a)
or 2(b) hereof.

            (e)   Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any
time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be
incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference herein to
any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of any time shall be
deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated,
therein by reference as of such time.

      3.    Registration Procedures.

      If the Issuers file a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or
Section 2(b), the following provisions shall apply:

      (a)   At or before the Effective Time of the Exchange Offer or the Shelf
Registration, as the case may be, the Issuers shall cause the Indenture to be
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

      (b)   In the event that such qualification would require the appointment
of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Issuers shall appoint a new trustee
thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

      (c)   In connection with the Issuers' obligations with respect to the
registration of Exchange Notes as contemplated by Section 2(a) (the "Exchange
Offer Registration"), if applicable, the Issuers shall, as soon as practicable
(or as otherwise specified):

                  (i)      prepare and file with the Commission, as soon as
            practicable but no later than 120 days after the Closing Date, an
            Exchange Offer Registration Statement on any form which may be
            utilized by the Issuers and which shall permit the Exchange Offer
            and resales of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers during the Resale
            Period to be effected as contemplated by Section 2(a), and use their
            reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration
            Statement to become or be declared effective as soon as practicable
            thereafter, but no later than 180 days after the Closing Date;

                  (ii)     as soon as practicable prepare and file with the
            Commission such amendments and supplements to such Exchange Offer
            Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein as may be
            necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness of such Exchange
            Offer Registration Statement for the periods and purposes
            contemplated in Section 2(a) hereof and as may be required by the
            applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the
            instructions applicable to the form of such Exchange Offer
            Registration Statement, and promptly provide each broker-dealer
            holding Exchange Notes with such number of copies of the prospectus
            included therein (as then amended or supplemented), in conformity in
            all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act
            and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the
            Commission thereunder, as such broker-dealer reasonably may request
            prior to the expiration of the Resale Period, for use in connection
            with resales of Exchange Notes;


                                       8
<PAGE>
                  (iii)    promptly notify each broker-dealer that has requested
            or received copies of the prospectus included in such registration
            statement, and confirm such advice in writing, (A) when such
            Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the prospectus included
            therein or any prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective
            amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such Exchange Offer
            Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the
            same has become effective, (B) of any comments by the Commission and
            by the blue sky or securities commissioner or regulator of any state
            with respect thereto, or any request by the Commission for
            amendments or supplements to such Exchange Offer Registration
            Statement or prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the
            issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
            effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the
            initiation or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, threatening of any
            proceedings for that purpose, (D) if at any time the representations
            and warranties of the Issuers contemplated by Section 5 hereof cease
            to be true and correct in all material respects, (E) of the receipt
            by the Issuers of any notification with respect to the suspension of
            the qualification of the Exchange Notes for sale in any jurisdiction
            or the initiation or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, threatening
            of any proceeding for such purpose, or (F) at any time during the
            Resale Period when a prospectus is required to be delivered under
            the Securities Act, that such Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
            prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective
            amendment does not conform in all material respects to the
            applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
            Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
            thereunder, or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or
            omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
            necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
            the circumstances then existing;

                  (iv)     in the event that the Issuers would be required,
            pursuant to Section 3(e)(iii)(F) above, to notify any broker-dealers
            holding Exchange Notes, the Issuers shall prepare and furnish to
            each such holder a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus
            supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to
            purchasers of such Exchange Notes during the Resale Period, such
            prospectus conforms in all material respects to the applicable
            requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and
            the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and shall not
            contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
            material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
            statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
            existing;

<PAGE>
                  (v)      use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the
            withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such
            Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any post-effective
            amendment thereto as soon as practicable;

                  (vi)     use their reasonable best efforts to (A) register or
            qualify the Exchange Notes under the securities laws or blue sky
            laws of such jurisdictions as are contemplated by Section 2(a) no
            later than the commencement of the Exchange Offer, (B) keep such
            registrations or qualifications in effect and comply with such laws
            so as to permit the continuance of offers, sales and dealings
            therein in such jurisdictions until the expiration of the Resale
            Period and (C) take any and all other actions as may be reasonably
            necessary or advisable to enable each broker-dealer holding Exchange
            Notes to consummate the disposition thereof in such jurisdictions;
            provided, however, that neither of the Issuers shall be required for
            any such purpose to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or limited
            liability company, as the case may be, in any jurisdiction wherein
            it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for the
            requirements of this Section 3(c)(vi), (2) consent to general
            service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) make any changes
            to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or other
            organizational document) or any agreement between it and holders of
            its ownership interests;

                  (vii)    use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the
            consent or approval of each governmental agency or authority,
            whether federal, state or local, which may be required to effect the
            Exchange Offer Registration, the Exchange Offer and the offering and
            sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers during the Resale Period;

                  (viii)   provide a CUSIP number for all Exchange Notes, not

            the Commission, and make generally available to its securityholders
            as soon as practicable but no later than eighteen months after the

            effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation
            or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, threatening of any proceedings
            for that purpose, (D) if at any time the representations and

            the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Registrable Securities or
            participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling
            group or "assist in the distribution" (within the meaning of the
            Conduct Rules (the "Conduct Rules") of the National Association of
            Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or any successor thereto, as
            amended from time to time) thereof, whether as a holder of such
            Registrable Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales
            agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or


                                       17
<PAGE>
            otherwise, assist such broker-dealer in complying with the
            requirements of such Conduct Rules, including by (A) if such Conduct
            Rules shall so require, engaging a "qualified independent
            underwriter" (as defined in such Conduct Rules) to participate in
            the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement relating to such
            Registrable Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence
            in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated
            by such Shelf Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or
            is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield
            of such Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying any such qualified
            independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of
            underwriters provided in Section 6 hereof (or to such other
            customary extent as may be requested by such underwriter), and (C)
            providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required
            in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of
            the Conduct Rules; and

                  (xx)     comply with all applicable rules and regulations of
            the Commission, and make generally available to its securityholders
            as soon as practicable but in any event not later than eighteen
            months after the effective date of such Shelf Registration
            Statement, an earning statement of the Company and its subsidiaries
            complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including, at
            the option of the Company, Rule 158 thereunder).

      (e)   In the event that the Issuers would be required, pursuant to Section
3(d)(viii)(F) above, to notify the Electing Holders, the placement or sales
agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof, the
Issuers shall prepare and furnish to each of the Electing Holders, to each
placement or sales agent, if any, and to each such underwriter, if any, a
reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as
thereafter delivered to purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus
conforms in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the
Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing. Each Electing Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the
Issuers pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof, such Electing Holder shall
forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Securities until
such Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented
prospectus, and if so directed by the Issuers, such Electing Holder shall
deliver to the Issuers (at the Issuers' expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies, then in such Electing Holder's possession of the
prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such
notice.


                                       18
<PAGE>
      (f)   In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information
required to be provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice and Questionnaire,
the Issuers may require such Electing Holder to furnish to the Issuers such
additional information regarding such Electing Holder and such Electing Holder's
intended method of distribution of Registrable Securities as may be required in
order to comply with the Securities Act. Each such Electing Holder agrees to
notify the Issuers as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in
information previously furnished by such Electing Holder to the Issuers or of
the occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any prospectus
relating to such Shelf Registration contains or would contain an untrue
statement of a material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing
Holder's intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities or omits
to state any material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such Electing
Holder's intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to the
Issuers any additional information required to correct and update any previously
furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain,
with respect to such Electing Holder or the disposition of such Registrable
Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

      4.    Registration Expenses.

      The Issuers agree, subject to the last sentence of this Section, to bear

rating services for rating the Notes, and (k) reasonable fees, expenses and

full amount of the Registration Expenses so incurred, assumed or paid promptly
after receipt of a request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders
of the Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all agency fees and
commissions and underwriting discounts and commissions attributable to the sale
of such Registrable Securities and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or
other advisors or experts retained by such holders (severally or jointly), other
than the counsel and experts specifically referred to above.

      5.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

      Except with respect to clauses (a) and (b) below, the Issuers represent
and warrant to, and agree with, each Purchaser and each of the holders from time
to time of Registrable Securities the information set forth in this Section 5.

      With respect to clauses (a) and (b) below, the Issuers covenant that:

            (a)   Each registration statement covering Registrable Securities
and each prospectus (including any preliminary or summary prospectus) contained
therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 3(c) hereof and any
further amendments or supplements to any such registration statement or
prospectus, when it becomes effective or is filed with the Commission, as the
case may be, and, in the case of an underwritten offering of Registrable
Securities, at the time of the closing under the underwriting agreement relating
thereto, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the
Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or


                                       20
<PAGE>
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading; and at all times subsequent to the
Effective Time when a prospectus would be required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, other than from (i) such time as a notice has been given to
holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) or Section
3(c)(iii)(F) hereof until (ii) such time as the Issuers furnishes an amended or
supplemented prospectus pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 3(c)(iv) hereof,
each such registration statement, and each prospectus (including any summary
prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section
3(c) hereof, as then amended or supplemented, will conform in all material
respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in the light of the circumstances then existing; provided, however, that this
covenant shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Issuers by a
holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein.

            (b)   Any documents incorporated by reference in any prospectus
referred to in Section 5(a) hereof, when they become or became effective or are
or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform or conformed
in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents will contain or
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that this covenant shall
not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Issuers by a holder of Registrable
Securities expressly for use therein.

            (c)   The compliance by the Issuers with all of the provisions of
this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a material
breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license, franchise
agreement, permit or other material agreement or instrument to which either of
the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries is a party or by which either of the
Issuers or any of their subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or
assets of the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries is subject, nor will such
action result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of formation
or limited liability company agreement of the Company or the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of Charter Capital or any statute or any order, rule or
regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, including without
limitation, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984, as amended, the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992, as amended, and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(collectively, the "Cable Acts") or any order, rule or


                                       21
<PAGE>
regulation of the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), having
jurisdiction over the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries or any of their
properties, except for any such violation which would not materially impair the
Issuers' ability to comply herewith; and no consent, approval, authorization,
order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental
agency or body is required, including, without limitation, under the Cable Acts
or any order, rule or regulation of the FCC, for the consummation by the Issuers
of the transactions contemplated by this Exchange and Registration Rights
Agreement, except the registration under the Securities Act of the Notes,
qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act and such consents,
approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required
under State Notes or blue sky laws in connection with the offering and
distribution of the Notes.

            (d)   This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuers.

      6.    Indemnification.

            (a)   Indemnification by the Issuers. The Issuers, jointly and
severally, (i) will indemnify and hold harmless each of the holders of
Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
each of the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf
Registration Statement and each person who participates as a placement or sales
agent or as an underwriter in any offering or sale of such Registrable
Securities against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
to which such holder, agent or underwriter may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as the
case may be, under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained
therein or furnished by the Issuers to any such holder, Electing Holder, agent
or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and (ii) will reimburse such holder, such Electing Holder, such
agent and such underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim
as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither of the Issuers
shall be liable to any such persons in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
such registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or
amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Issuers by such persons expressly for use therein.


                                       22
<PAGE>
            (b)   Indemnification by the Holders and any Agents and
Underwriters. The Issuers may require, as a condition to including any
Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section
2(b) hereof and to entering into any underwriting agreement or similar agreement
with respect thereto, that the Issuers shall have received an undertaking
reasonably satisfactory to them from the Electing Holder of such Registrable
Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement and from each underwriter
or agent named in any such underwriting agreement or similar agreement,
severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers and
all other holders of Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities to which the Issuers or such other holders of Registrable
Securities may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary,
final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Issuers to any
such Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Issuers by such Electing Holder or underwriter
expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Issuers for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuers in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that no such Electing Holder shall be required to undertake liability
to any person under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in excess of the dollar
amount of the proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder from the sale of
such Electing Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration.

            (c)   Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the
indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify such
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the
indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof. In
case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be
counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense


                                       23
<PAGE>
thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party
shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the
settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim)
unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional
release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action
or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

            (d)   Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions
contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by
pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any agents or underwriters or all of
them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds
received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after
deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the
amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission, and no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total


                                       24
<PAGE>
price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to
the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which
such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The holders' and any underwriters'
obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to
the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as
the case may be, by them and not joint.

            (e)   The obligations of the Issuers under this Section 6 shall be
in addition to any liability which the Issuers may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and
partner of each holder, agent and underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls any holder, agent or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act; and the obligations of the holders and any agents or underwriters
contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the
respective holder, agent or underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer (including any officer who
signed any registration statement), director, employee, representative or agent
of the Issuers and to each person, if any, who controls the Issuers within the
meaning of the Securities Act.

      7.    Underwritten Offerings.

            (a)   Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration are to be sold pursuant to an
underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be
designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering,
provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are
reasonably acceptable to the Issuers.

            (b)   Participation by Holders. Each holder of Registrable
Securities hereby agrees with each other such holder that no such holder may
participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such holder (i) agrees
to sell such holder's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

      8.    Rule 144.

      Each of the Issuers covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities
that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, it
shall timely file the reports


                                       25
<PAGE>
required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act
(including the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred
to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the
Securities Act) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission
thereunder, and shall take such further action as any holder of Registrable
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under
the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144
under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any
similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.
Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that
holder's sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Issuers shall deliver to such holder a
written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

      9.    Miscellaneous.

            (a)   No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuers represent, warrant,
covenant and agree that they have not granted, and shall not grant, registration
rights with respect to Registrable Securities or any other Notes which would be
inconsistent with the terms contained in this Exchange and Registration Rights
Agreement.

            (b)   Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that
there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Issuers fail to perform any of
their obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time to
time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such
failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such holders, in addition
to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be
entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Issuers under
this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, in any court of
the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

            (c)   Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and
other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given (i) when delivered by hand, if delivered personally or by
courier, (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt),
provided that a copy is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested or (iii) three days after being deposited in the mail (registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows: If to the
Issuers, c/o Charter Communications Holdings, LLC, 12405 Powerscourt Drive, St.
Louis, Missouri, 63131, Attention: Secretary, and if to a holder, to the address
of such holder set forth in the security register or other records of the
Issuers, or to such other address as the Issuers or any such holder may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of
change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.


                                       26

            (d)   Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this
Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to
the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and the holders
from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors
and assigns of the parties hereto and such holders. In the event that any
transferee of any holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable
Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law
or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of
any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable
Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Exchange and
Registration Rights Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable
Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be
conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms
and provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. If the
Issuers shall so request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree
in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the
applicable terms hereof.

            (e)   Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements,
representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Exchange
and Registration Rights Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results
thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of Registrable Securities, any
director, officer or partner of such holder, any agent or underwriter or any
director, officer or partner thereof, or any controlling person of any of the
foregoing, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the transfer and registration
of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of an Exchange
