Item 5.02.		Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As of April 22, 2009, Scott W. Seaton was appointed to the Board of Directors of Mediacom Communications Corporation (the “Registrant”). Mr. Seaton will serve on the Board’s Audit Committee.

From 2002 to 2009, Mr. Seaton was a Managing Director in the Technology, Media and Telecommunications investment banking group of Bank of America. Prior to that time Mr. Seaton was a Managing Director in the investment banking department of Credit Suisse First Boston since 1996. Bank of America and Credit Suisse First Boston or their affiliates have in the past engaged in transactions with and performed services for the Registrant and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, including commercial banking, financial advisory and investment banking services.

A copy of the press release announcing this appointment is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 21, 2009, the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved amendments to the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”). The effective date of these amendments was April 21, 2009.

The following is a summary of the major substantive differences between the previous Bylaws and the Restated Bylaws. (Article and Section references are to the Restated By-Laws.)

Article I, Section 2: Who can call Special Meetings of Stockholders

Previous Bylaws

Special Meetings could be called by:

	•		the Board of Directors;
	•		the Chief Executive Officer; or
	•		the Secretary upon written request of a the holders of a majority of the voting power.

Restated Bylaws

Special Meetings can be called by:

	•		the Board of Directors;
	•		the Chairman of the Board; or
	•		the President.

Board of Directors determines the time, date and place for the special meeting.

Reason for Change:

Conform provision to Article 8(d) of the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation, which does not provide for special meetings to be called by stockholders or the Chief Executive Officer.

Article 1, Section 9: Voting

Previous Bylaws

Provided that, among other things, every stockholder is entitled to one vote for every share owned by such person.

Restated Bylaws

Same, except deleted the provision that every stockholder is entitled to one vote for every share owned by such person.

Reason for Change:

Conform the provision to the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation, which creates Class B Common Stock with ten votes per share.

Article 1, Section 10: Action without a Meeting

Previous Bylaws

Provided that the stockholders can act by written consent if all stockholders sign such consent.

Restated Bylaws

Provides that the stockholders can act by written consent if at least the minimum number of votes necessary to approve the matter sign the consent.

Reason for Change:

Under Delaware law, stockholders having majority voting power can act by written consent unless the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise. The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation is silent on this issue.

Article II, Section 8: Board Committees

Previous Bylaws:

Committees had to be comprised of three or more directors.

Restated Bylaws:

Committees are comprised of one or more directors.

Reason for Change:

Gives the Board of Directors greater flexibility in creating committees.

Article II, Section 9: Removal of Directors

Previous Bylaws:

Directors could be removed for cause by a vote of the stockholders or by the board of directors.

Restated Bylaws:

Directors may be removed with or without cause by a vote of the stockholders.

Reason for Change:

The change is intended to make the provision on removal consistent with Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporate Law, which states that a director can be removed with or without cause by the stockholders.

Article III: Officers

Previous Bylaws:

The list of officer titles in the previous bylaws did not expressly include “Chairman of the Board” or “Chief Financial Officer.”

Restated Bylaws:

Adds the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer to the list of expressly denominated officers. Also makes clear that “Chief Financial Officer” is a title of an officer and that the Chief Executive Officer has the powers of the “President” referred to in the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation.

Reason for Change:

The changes are intended to align the language of the Bylaws more closely with actual practice by expressly stating that (i) the Chairman of the Board is a full-time officer (i.e. as opposed to a Non-Executive Chairman), and (ii) “Chief Financial Officer” is a title of an officer, as well as a descriptive noun that describes a set of corporate responsibilities. In addition, the Registrant has a “Chief Executive Officer” but not a “President” and because the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation says that the “President” has certain authority, the changes make clear the “Chief Executive Officer” is intended to have the functions of “President.”

Article VII: Indemnification

Previous Bylaws:

The Registrant indemnified directors, officers and others to the fullest extent provided by law.

Restated Bylaws:

Continues that entitlement, but introduces specific provisions that govern certain aspects of the indemnification right not expressly covered by the previous Bylaws, including provisions for the following:

	•		payment or advancement by the Registrant of the expenses of officers and directors in defending a claim for which indemnification may be available; and
	•		the right of directors and officers to sue the Registrant for claims for indemnification or payment of expenses not paid within sixty days and, if successful, to also recover the costs of that suit.

Reason for Change:

It is customary for public companies to include the specific right of indemnification and advancement of legal expenses in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

If mailed, such notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice be by facsimile, electronic mail or other means of electronic communication, such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 4. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Notice of any meeting of stockholders need not be given to any stockholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, in person or by proxy, whether before or after the meeting. The attendance of any stockholder at a meeting in person or by proxy, without protesting prior to the conclusion of the meeting the lack of notice of such meeting, shall constitute a waiver of notice by such stockholder.

Section 5. ADJOURNMENT. The Chairman of the meeting or a majority of the voting power of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum. When any meeting of stockholders is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, to which the meeting is adjourned, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or, if after such adjournment, the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at such meeting.

Section 6. QUORUM. Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of a majority in total voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum thereat for the transaction of any business at such meeting. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any stockholders. The stockholders present may adjourn a meeting despite the absence of a quorum.

Section 7. PROXIES. Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy. Every proxy must be signed by the stockholder or his or her attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law.

Section 8. VOTING. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, at any meeting duly called and held for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, directors shall, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote in such election. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, whenever any corporate action, other than the election of directors, is to be taken at a meeting by vote of the stockholders, it shall, except as otherwise required by law, be authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.

Section 9. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted; provided that prompt notice of such action shall be given to those stockholders who have not so consented in writing to such action without a meeting and who would have been entitled to notice of such meeting.

Section 10. RECORD DATE. The Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date, which date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of any meeting of stockholders nor more than sixty days prior to any other action, as the record date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or for the purpose of any other action.

In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the time of its issue. Every certificate issued when the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of stock shall contain such legend with respect thereto as is required by law.

When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

Section 3. TRANSFERS OF STOCK. Stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by applicable law and in these Bylaws. Transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation, and in the case of certificated shares of stock, only by the person named in the certificate or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate therefore, properly endorsed for transfer and payment of all necessary transfer taxes; or, in the case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of the shares or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing, and upon payment of all necessary transfer taxes and compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form; provided, however, that such surrender and endorsement, compliance or payment of taxes shall not be required in any case in which the officers of the Corporation shall determine to waive such requirement.

The Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 2. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) as they are incurred by an officer or director of the Corporation in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that the payment of such expenses shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified. Payment of such expenses incurred by other employees and agents of the Corporation may be made by the Board of Directors in its discretion upon such terms and conditions, if any, as it deems appropriate.

Section 3. CLAIMS. If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) under this Article is not paid in full within sixty days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

Section 4. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right conferred on any person by this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 5. OTHER INDEMNIFICATION. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non profit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, non profit entity, or other enterprise.

Section 6. AMENDMENT OR REPEAL. Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VIII
FISCAL YEAR

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on December 31 of each year or on such other date as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS

Except as otherwise provided by law, these By-Laws may be amended or repealed, and any new By-Law may be adopted, by (i) an affirmative vote of a majority of all directors, or (ii) an affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the total voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting as a single class; provided, that no vote of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be required to authorize the adoption, amendment or repeal of any provision of the By-Laws by the Board of Directors under clause (i) of this Article IX.
