Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 12, 2010, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) with Rocco B. Commisso, our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and JMC Communications LLC (“Merger Sub” and collectively with Mr. Commisso and their respective affiliates, the “RBC Stockholders”), an entity wholly-owned by Mr. Commisso. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Merger Sub would be merged with and into us and we would continue as the surviving corporation.

If the merger agreement is adopted by our stockholders and the merger is consummated, all of our outstanding shares of common stock (other than shares owned by the RBC Stockholders and stockholders perfecting dissenters’ rights under Delaware law) will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $8.75 per share. Consummation of the merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others,

	•		approval of the merger agreement by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class;
	•		approval of the merger agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock not owned by the RBC Stockholders, Mr. Commisso’s immediate family or our executive officers and directors;
	•		we shall have received sufficient funding from our bank credit facilities to pay the merger consideration and related expenses of the transaction;
	•		we shall have received a solvency opinion as defined in Section 5.09 of the merger agreement; and
	•		the total number of dissenting shares shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock.

We have entered into a voting agreement with the RBC Stockholders in which they have agreed to vote their shares of our Class A and Class B common stock in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. As of the date hereof, the RBC Stockholders collectively own of record shares of our common stock representing approximately 86% of the aggregate voting power entitled to vote on the merger agreement.

We have agreed to reimburse Mr. Commisso and Merger Sub for their expenses (but not in excess of $2.5 million) if the merger agreement is terminated by any party other than by reason of a material breach by Mr. Commisso or Merger Sub of the merger agreement, as described in Section 7.01(d) of the merger agreement.

The merger agreement may be terminated by either Mr. Commisso or us (with the prior approval of the Special Committee) if the merger has not been consummated by June 1, 2011; provided that the right to terminate shall not be available to any party whose failure to perform its

obligations under the merger agreement has been the cause of the failure of the merger to be consummated.

The descriptions of the merger agreement and voting agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the merger agreement and the voting agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1 to this report and are incorporated herein by this reference.

Upon consummation of the merger, our Class A common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Select Market, the registration of our Class A common stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will be terminated, and we will be a private company that is wholly-owned by Mr. Commisso.

We will file a proxy statement and other documents regarding the proposed merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The definitive proxy statement will be sent to our stockholders seeking their approval of the matters discussed above at a special meeting of stockholders. Stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement and any other relevant document when they become available, because they will contain important information about us, the proposed merger and related matters. Stockholders may obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement (when available) and other documents filed by us with the SEC at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. The definitive proxy statement (when available) and other related SEC documents may also be obtained free of charge by directing a request to Calvin Craib, Mediacom Communications Corporation, 100 Crystal Run Road, Middletown, New York 10941, telephone: (845) 695-2600.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

     THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2010, is entered into by and among JMC COMMUNICATIONS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), ROCCO B. COMMISSO, the sole member and manager of Merger Sub (“Parent” and, together with Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, the “RBC Stockholders”), and MEDIACOM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and, collectively with Merger Sub and Parent, the “Parties”). Certain terms used in this Agreement are used as defined in Section 8.11.

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, (a) Merger Sub owns of record 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”), and (b) in addition to his beneficial ownership of such shares held by Merger Sub, Parent owns of record 213,910 issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock” and, together with the Class B Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), and 25,789,722 issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock;

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of a special committee thereof consisting solely of disinterested directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”), has determined that a business combination with the RBC Stockholders, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, is fair to, and in the best interests of, the holders of Common Stock other than the RBC Stockholders (the “Public Stockholders”); and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors, based on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, has (a) approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and declared their advisability and (b) recommended adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company.

     WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the RBC Stockholders are entering into a voting agreement with the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholders agree to vote the shares of Common Stock held by them in favor of the adoption of this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

     Section 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, pursuant to Section 18-209 of the DLLCA and Section 264 of the DGCL, and the separate

corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease (the “Merger”). The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”), and the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger, except as set forth in Section 1.04 of this Agreement.

     Section 1.02 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the third Business Day (the “Closing Date”) after the satisfaction or, subject to applicable Law and the terms of this Agreement, waiver (other than in the case of Section 6.01(b) which may not be waived by any Party hereto) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions), unless this Agreement has been theretofore terminated pursuant to its terms or unless another date is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. The Closing shall be held at the offices of Baker Botts L.L.P., 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10112, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or at such other place and time as Parent and the Company shall agree in writing. At the Closing, the Company shall file a certificate of merger and such other appropriate documents and instruments (collectively, the “Merger Certificate”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DLLCA and DGCL, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in respect of the Merger, and the Merger shall become effective upon such filing or at such later time as is agreed to by the Company and Parent and specified in the Merger Certificate (the “Effective Time”).

     Section 1.03 Effects of the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, in Section 18-209 of the DLLCA and the DGCL (including Sections 259 and 264 thereof).

     Section 1.04 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of the Company shall be amended in the Merger to read in their entirety in the form of Exhibit A (in the case of the certificate of incorporation) and Exhibit B (in the case of the by-laws), and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with their respective terms and the DGCL.

     Section 1.05 Directors. The manager of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the initial director of the Surviving Corporation, to hold office, subject to the applicable provisions of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, until his respective successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal, or as otherwise provided by Law.

     Section 1.06 Officers. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, subject to the applicable provisions of the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal, or otherwise as provided by Law.

     Section 1.07 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties hereto or any holder of Common Stock:

     (a) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive $8.75 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and any Dissenting Shares) shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such share of Common Stock (a “Certificate”) and each holder of uncertificated shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock represented by such Certificate or uncertificated share, to be paid in consideration therefor, without interest, upon surrender of such Certificate or uncertificated share in accordance with Section 2.02(b).

     (b) Each outstanding Excluded Share immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or uncertificated share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

     (c) All of the outstanding membership interests of Merger Sub, in the aggregate, shall be converted into 1,000 shares of newly issued common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

     Section 1.08 Stock Options; Restricted Stock and ESPP. (a) The Board of Directors (and its Compensation Committee) shall take any and all actions necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 1.08, effective as of the Effective Time.

     (b) Each option to purchase shares of Common Stock (in each case, an “Option”) that has been granted pursuant to an Employee Incentive Plan or the Director Stock Plan and remains outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be immediately cancelled as of the Effective Time and converted into an obligation of the Surviving Corporation to make a cash payment, if any, to the holder of such Option in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.08(b).

     (i) To the extent an Option issued pursuant to an Employee Incentive Plan is outstanding and is vested and exercisable by its terms as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall pay the holder thereof (other than Parent) a cash payment promptly following the Effective Time (but no later than the payroll date following the Effective Time) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the vested and exercisable portion of such Option immediately prior to the cancellation of such Option multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Option, without any interest for delayed payment and subject to applicable tax withholding.

     (ii) To the extent an Option issued pursuant to an Employee Incentive Plan is outstanding as of the Effective Time and is not vested and exercisable by its terms as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall pay the holder thereof (other than

Parent) a cash payment on each date following the Effective Time as of which all or a portion of such Option would have become vested and exercisable pursuant to the terms of such Option in effect immediately prior to the cancellation of such Option (the “Option Vesting Date”) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Option to the extent it would have become vested and exercisable on such Option Vesting Date multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Option, without any interest for delayed payment and subject to applicable tax withholding.

     (iii) To the extent an Option issued pursuant to the Director Stock Plan is outstanding as of the Effective Time (whether or not such Option is vested and exercisable), the Surviving Corporation shall pay the holder thereof (other than Parent) a cash payment promptly following the Effective Time (but no later than three Business Days) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Option multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Option, without any interest for delayed payment and subject to applicable tax withholding.

     (iv) For the avoidance of doubt any Option issued pursuant to an Employee Incentive Plan or the Director Stock Plan that (x) has an exercise price per share which equals or exceeds the Merger Consideration or (y) is held by Parent shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without payment of any consideration to the holder of such Option.

     (c) Any right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future subject to performance or time-based vesting conditions that has been issued pursuant to an Employee Incentive Plan or the Director Stock Plan and that remains outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time (in each case, a “Restricted Stock Award”) shall be immediately cancelled as of the Effective Time and converted into an obligation of the Surviving Corporation to make a cash payment to the holder of such Restricted Stock Award in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.08(c).

     (i) The Surviving Corporation shall pay the holder (other than Parent) of a Restricted Stock Award issued pursuant to an Employee Incentive Plan a cash payment on each date following the Effective Time as of which all or a portion of such Restricted Stock Award would have become vested (the “RSA Vesting Date”), an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock that would have become vested or would have been delivered on such RSA Vesting Date pursuant to such Restricted Stock Award multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, without any interest for delayed payment and subject to applicable tax withholding.

     (ii) The Surviving Corporation shall pay the holder (other than Parent) of a Restricted Stock Award issued pursuant to the Director Plan a cash payment promptly following the Effective Time (but no later than three Business Days) an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Award and (y) the Merger Consideration, without interest for delayed payment and subject to applicable tax withholding.

     (iii) For the avoidance of doubt any Restricted Stock Award held by an RBC Stockholder shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without payment of any consideration to such RBC Stockholder.

     (d) The Company shall terminate the Mediacom Communications Corporation 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) effective as of the date which is three days prior to the Effective Time (the “ESPP Termination Date”) in accordance with Section 18(c) of the ESPP. The ESPP Termination Date shall be designated as a new “Exercise Date” (as defined in the ESPP) for the Offering Period (as defined in the ESPP) ending on the ESPP Termination Date. Any funds accumulated under the ESPP on behalf of any employee of the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) during such Offering Period will be used to purchase shares of Common Stock at the per share Purchase Price (as defined in the ESPP) in effect during such Offering Period under the terms of the ESPP. Any shares of Common Stock issued under the ESPP pursuant to this Section 1.08(d) will be treated for purposes of this Agreement in the same manner as any other outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time.

     Section 1.09 Stockholders’ Meeting; Proxy Materials and Other SEC Filings. (a) The Company shall (i) duly take all lawful action to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders on a date as soon as reasonably practicable after the SEC’s review of the Proxy Statement has been completed (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”), for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and the Minority Approval with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to solicit the adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholder Approval and the Minority Approval; provided that, in the event of a Change in the Company Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.07(c), notwithstanding clause (ii) of this Section 1.09(a), (x) the Company shall disclose the fact of such Change in the Company Recommendation in any solicitation made by the Company to its stockholders and (y) the Company shall not be required to solicit in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval or the Minority Approval. The Board of Directors shall recommend adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company as set forth in Section 3.03(b) (the “Company Recommendation”), and shall not withdraw, modify or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates such recommendation or take any action or make any statement in connection with the Company Stockholders Meeting inconsistent with such recommendation, including approving or recommending or proposing to approve or recommend a third-party Takeover Proposal with respect to the Company or failing to recommend the adoption of this Agreement (collectively, a “Change in the Company Recommendation”); provided that the Special Committee may make a Change in the Company Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.07(c) hereof; and provided, further, that the provision of factual information by the Company to its stockholders shall not be deemed to constitute a Change in the Company Recommendation so long as the disclosure through which such factual information is conveyed, taken as a whole, is not contrary to or inconsistent with the Company Recommendation.

     (b) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) and the Parties shall prepare and file with the SEC a Schedule 13E-3 (as amended or supplemented, the “Schedule 13E-3”). The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection

with the preparation of the foregoing documents. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, other than with respect to statements made based on information supplied in writing by either RBC Stockholder specifically for inclusion therein. Each RBC Stockholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of the information it supplies in writing specifically for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3 contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the SEC’s review of the Proxy Statement, and the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to have the SEC’s review of the Schedule 13E-3, completed as promptly as practicable.

     (c) The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the SEC’s review of the Proxy Statement is completed.

     (d) The Company shall promptly notify the RBC Stockholders of the receipt by the Company of any oral or written comments from the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3. The Company shall cooperate with the RBC Stockholders with respect to, and provide the RBC Stockholders with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, drafts of the Proxy Statement (including each amendment or supplement thereto), and the Parties shall cooperate with respect to, and provide each other with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, the draft Schedule 13E-3 (including each amendment or supplement thereto) and all responses to requests for additional information by, and replies to comments of, the SEC, prior to filing such with or sending such to the SEC, and the Parties shall provide each other with copies of all such filings made and correspondence with the SEC.

     (e) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information should be discovered by any Party that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 so that the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, as the case may be, would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and, to the extent required by applicable Law, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by the appropriate Party with the SEC and disseminated by the Company to the stockholders of the Company.

     Section 1.10 Further Assurances. After the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of any Party, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of any Party, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

ARTICLE II

DISSENTING SHARES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES

     Section 2.01 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by stockholders (i) who shall have neither voted for adoption of this Agreement nor consented thereto in writing and (ii) who shall be entitled to and shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time, and the holders of Dissenting Shares, if any, shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw, or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, then, at the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever last occurs, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted or deemed to have been converted, as the case may be, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in the manner provided in Section 1.07. The Company shall give Merger Sub (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals (or attempted withdrawals) of demands for appraisal and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the RBC Stockholders, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

     Section 2.02 Payment Fund. (a) Payment Fund. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall enter into an agreement (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) with a bank or trust company selected by the Company (subject to the Special Committee’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and reasonably satisfactory to the RBC Stockholders to act as paying agent hereunder for the purpose of exchanging Certificates and uncertificated shares for the Merger Consideration (the “Paying Agent”). As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and any Dissenting Shares), an amount of cash representing the aggregate cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.07. Any cash deposited with the Paying Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

     (b) Payment Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will instruct the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of (i) a Certificate or Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) or (ii) shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), (A) a form letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Surviving

Corporation may reasonably specify) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.07. Upon surrender of such a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the Surviving Corporation, together with a letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other customary documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions (collectively, the “Transmittal Documents”), the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, without any interest thereon, less any required withholding of taxes, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall thereupon be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be issued and paid in accordance with this Article II to the transferee of such shares if the Certificate or Book-Entry Share evidencing such shares is presented to the Paying Agent and is properly endorsed and/or otherwise in proper form for transfer. In such event, the signature on the Certificate or Book-Entry Share or any related stock power must be properly guaranteed and the Person requesting payment of the Merger Consideration must either pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered or establish to the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. The Merger Consideration will be delivered by the Paying Agent as promptly as practicable following surrender of such a Certificate or Book-Entry Share and the related Transmittal Documents. Cash payments may be made by check unless otherwise required by a depositary institution in connection with delivery of Book-Entry Shares. No interest will be payable on any Merger Consideration. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.02, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and any Dissenting Shares) formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in this Article II. Any interest, dividends or other income earned on the investment of cash held in the Payment Fund shall be for the account of the Surviving Corporation. The Merger Consideration delivered upon surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

     (c) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the Public Stockholders for six months following the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to the Surviving Corporation. Any Public Stockholders who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration.

     (d) No Liability. None of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

     (e) Investment of the Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund as directed by the Surviving Corporation on a daily basis and in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement; provided that any gain or loss thereon shall not

affect the amounts payable to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Article I or this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall promptly be paid to the Surviving Corporation. If for any reason (including as a result of losses) the cash in the Payment Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by the Paying Agent hereunder, the Surviving Corporation shall promptly deposit cash into the Payment Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations.

     (f) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

     (g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall execute an affidavit of that fact upon request. The holder of any such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall also deliver a reasonable indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to such Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. The affidavit and any indemnity which may be required hereunder shall be delivered to the Paying Agent (or, after the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation), which shall be responsible for making payment for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates pursuant to the terms hereof.

     Section 2.03 Stock Transfer Books. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law. Any Certificate or Book-Entry Share presented to the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason at or after the Effective Time shall be canceled and, in the case of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares), exchanged for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Article II.

     Section 2.04 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such steps, to the extent required and permitted, to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of equity securities (including derivative securities) of the Company by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

     Section 2.05 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that prior to the Effective Time, solely as a result of a reclassification, combination, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or stock distribution which in any such event is made on a pro rata basis to all holders of Common Stock, there is a change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of securities or rights

convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, then the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event.

     Section 5.02 Notification of Certain Matters. (a) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give prompt notice to the Company, of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure to occur would be likely to cause (i) any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or (ii) any material failure of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the performance by the Parties hereunder.

     (b) From the date hereof through the Closing, Parent shall notify the Company if Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates engages (or directs anyone on such Person’s behalf to engage) in negotiations, agrees in principle or executes any agreement pursuant to which (i) all or any substantial portion of the assets or properties of the Company or the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries would be, directly or indirectly, offered, sold, leased, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, (ii) any material number of shares of capital stock of the Company or the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries would be, directly or indirectly, offered or sold, (iii) the Company or the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries would be merged, combined or reorganized with another person or entity subsequent to the Closing.

     Section 5.03 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

     (a) Parent and the Company agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of each individual who, as of the Effective Time, is a present or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Person”) as provided in the Constituent Documents of the Company or any of such Subsidiaries, in effect as of the date hereof, shall, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect after the Effective Time. Until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Constituent Documents of the Surviving Corporation and the Constituent Documents of its Subsidiaries shall, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnified Persons than are set forth in the Company’s Constituent Documents or in the Constituent Documents of the Surviving Corporation’s Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of execution of this Agreement, and

such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time (or, with respect to any proceeding commenced prior to such sixth anniversary, prior to the final disposition of such proceeding) in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder, as of the Effective Time, of any Indemnified Person, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time. Parent and the Company further agree that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses now existing in favor of Indemnified Persons in any indemnification agreement between such person and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or under Law shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of such agreement or Law.

     (b) The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain and maintain directors and officers liability insurance policies for the Indemnified Persons with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time for a period of six years from the Effective Time (or, with respect to any proceeding commenced during such period, until the final disposition of such proceeding) on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of the applicable policies in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall Parent and the Surviving Corporation be obligated to expend in order to obtain or maintain insurance coverage pursuant to this Section 5.03(b) any amount per annum in excess of 200% of the aggregate premiums currently paid or payable by the Company in 2009 (on an annualized basis) for such purpose (the “Cap”), and (ii) if equivalent coverage cannot be obtained, or can be obtained only by paying an annual premium in excess of the Cap, Parent and the Surviving Company shall only be required to obtain as much coverage as can be obtained by paying an annual premium equal to the Cap.

     (c) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a substantial portion of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation (or their respective successors or assigns) assume the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or their respective successors or assigns) as contemplated by this Section 5.03. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.03. The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is agreed that the rights of an Indemnified Person under this Section 5.03 shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Person may have under the Company’s Constituent Documents, any other indemnification arrangements, the DGCL, or otherwise, and nothing in this Section 5.03 shall have the effect of, or be construed as having the effect of, reducing the benefits to the Indemnified Persons under the Company’s Constituent Documents, any other indemnification arrangements, the DGCL or otherwise with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time.

     Section 5.04 Access and Information. Subject to applicable Law and the provisions of this Section 5.04, the Company shall afford to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives such access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to the Company’s books, records (including tax returns and work papers of the

Company’s independent auditors), facilities, personnel, management reports and to such other information as Parent and Merger Sub shall reasonably request, including all material information regarding the amount and calculation of the Broadband Restricted Payment Capacity and the LLC Restricted Payment Capacity, and all related worksheets and other materials with respect to such matters. Each of Parent and Merger Sub agrees that until the Effective Time it shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its respective Representatives to, hold in strict confidence all data and information obtained by any of them pursuant to this Section 5.04 (unless such information is or otherwise becomes (through no breach of this covenant) public or readily ascertainable from public or published information).

     Section 5.05 Publicity. Parent and the Company have agreed upon the text of a press release to be issued with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. None of the Parties shall issue or cause the publication of any other press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except as may be required by Law or any listing agreement with a national securities exchange to which the Company is a party (provided that, in any such event, the Company shall provide Merger Sub a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such public announcement).

     Section 5.06 Reasonable Best Efforts; Restricted Payment Capacity.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to cooperate with the other parties in connection with the foregoing, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain all necessary Consents from other parties to material agreements, leases and other contracts; provided that the Company shall not be required to make any payments or provide any economic benefits to third parties prior to the Effective Time in order to obtain any waivers, consents or approvals from any third parties hereunder, (ii) obtain all necessary Consents from Governmental Entities as are required to be obtained under any applicable Law, (iii) lift or rescind any Order adversely affecting the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) effect any necessary registrations and filings and submissions of information requested by Governmental Entities, including those contemplated by or required in connection with the performance of the obligations contained in Section 1.09, (v) assist in the preparation of, and execution and delivery of, in a timely manner, certificates and documents, including solvency certificates, comfort letters, resolutions, officers’ certificates demonstrating compliance with restrictive covenants in the Indentures and the Credit Agreements and (vi) fulfill all other conditions to this Agreement.

     (b) In the event that all closing conditions contained in Article VI shall have been satisfied or waived (other than Section 6.02(e) and any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), then, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreements, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall take all necessary action, and execute and deliver all necessary documents and certificates, to borrow sufficient funds under the Credit Agreements, and to distribute such funds to the Company, to fund the aggregate Merger Consideration and other payments required to be made by the Surviving Corporation at the Closing in connection

with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the payment of all Expenses pursuant to Section 7.03 (collectively, the “Drawdown”).

     Section 5.07 No Solicitation. (a) The Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives to (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Persons not to), directly or indirectly (i) initiate, induce, solicit, facilitate or encourage any inquiry or the making, submission or announcement of any proposal that constitutes a Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement or other agreement, arrangement or understanding relating to any Takeover Proposal, or (iii) continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any Person any information or data with respect to the Company in connection with or in response to, or otherwise cooperate with or take any other action to facilitate any proposal that (A) constitutes a Takeover Proposal or (B) requires the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and Minority Approval, the Company may, in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.07(a), and subject to compliance with Section 5.07(c):

     (x) furnish information or data with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Takeover Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to and in accordance with a confidentiality agreement containing customary terms and conditions, provided that (I) such confidentiality agreement shall include a customary “standstill” provision that restricts such Person from acquiring outstanding securities of the Company and shall not provide such Person with any exclusive right to negotiate with the Company or contain any provisions that would prevent the Company from complying with its obligations under this Agreement, and (II) all such information provided to such Person has previously been provided to Parent or Merger Sub or is provided to Parent and Merger Sub prior to or concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person; and

     (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person or its Representatives regarding such Takeover Proposal;

provided, in each case, that the Special Committee determines in good faith, by resolution duly adopted after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that (i) the failure to furnish such information or participate in such discussions or negotiations would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Public Stockholders under applicable Law and (ii) such Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal. The Company shall promptly inform its Representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 5.07. Without limiting the foregoing, any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.07 by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.07 by the Company; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall any action taken by, or at the direction of, Parent constitute a violation by the Company of this Section 5.07. Nothing contained in this

Section 5.07 shall prohibit the Company from responding to any unsolicited proposal or inquiry solely by advising the Person making such proposal or inquiry of the terms of this Section 5.07.

     (b) As promptly as practicable after the receipt by the Company of any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry with respect to any Takeover Proposal, and in any case within 24 hours after the receipt thereof, the Company shall provide notice to Parent and Merger Sub of (i) such Takeover Proposal or inquiry, (ii) the identity of the Person making any such Takeover Proposal or inquiry, and (iii) the material terms and conditions of any such Takeover Proposal or inquiry (including any amendments or modifications thereto). The Company shall keep Parent and Merger Sub informed on a current basis of the status of any such Takeover Proposal, including any changes to the price or other material terms and conditions thereof, and promptly provide Merger Sub with copies of all written or e-mail correspondence or other communications and other written materials, and summaries of all oral correspondence or other communications, sent or provided to or by the Company and its Representatives in connection with any Takeover Proposal that relate to the price or other material terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Takeover Proposal or inquiry is made, or any other information with respect to such Takeover Proposal or inquiry is provided, solely to Parent, the Company shall have no obligations to Parent or Merger Sub under this Section 5.07(b) with respect to such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or other information.

     (c) Neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) shall, directly or indirectly, (i) effect a Change in the Company Recommendation or (ii) approve any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement or other agreement, arrangement or understanding relating to any Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Approval and Minority Approval, the Special Committee may in response to a Superior Proposal or an Intervening Event, effect a Change in the Company Recommendation, provided that the Special Committee determines in good faith, by resolution duly adopted after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation, that such action is required to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Public Stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, and provided, further, that the Board of Directors and/or the Special Committee may not effect a Change in the Company Recommendation unless (i) the Special Committee shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent and Merger Sub that it is prepared to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal or an Intervening Event, which notice shall, in the case of a Superior Proposal, specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identify the Person making such Superior Proposal or, in the case of an Intervening Event, describe such event and its effect or potential effect on the Company and/or the Company’s securities, and (ii) Parent or Merger Sub does not make, within four Business Days after the receipt of such notice, a proposal that the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, is at least as favorable to the Public Stockholders as such Superior Proposal or obviates the need for a Change in the Company Recommendation as a result of an Intervening Event, as the case may be. The Company agrees that, during the four Business Day period prior to its effecting a Change in the Company Recommendation, the Company (as directed by the Special Committee) and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent and Merger Sub. No Change in the Company

Recommendation shall (x) relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 1.09 of this Agreement to, among other things, submit this Agreement to the stockholders of the Company for the purpose of adopting this Agreement, or (y) change the approval of the Board of Directors for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state law to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     (d) The Company agrees that it will deliver to Parent and Merger Sub a new written notice of Takeover Proposal with respect to each Takeover Proposal that has been materially revised or modified prior to taking any action to recommend or agreeing to recommend such Takeover Proposal to the stockholders of the Company and that a new period shall commence for purposes of this Section 5.07 with respect to each such materially revised or modified Takeover Proposal from the time Parent receives the written notice of the Takeover Proposal with respect thereto; provided that such new period shall expire on the later of four Business Days after notice of the original Takeover Proposal or four Business Days after notice of such revised or modified Takeover Proposal.

     (e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.07 shall prohibit the Company from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act in respect of any Takeover Proposal or making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Special Committee determines in good faith, by resolution duly adopted after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, provided, however, that neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall, except as expressly permitted by Section 5.07(c), effect a Change in the Company Recommendation.

     (f) For purposes of this Agreement:

     “Intervening Event” means an event, fact, circumstance or development, unknown to the Special Committee as of the date hereof, which becomes known prior to the Company Stockholder Approval and Minority Approval.

     “Takeover Proposal” means any proposal or offer in respect of (i) a tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar transaction involving the Company (any of the foregoing, a “Business Combination Transaction”) with any Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party”), (ii) the Company’s acquisition of any Third Party in a Business Combination Transaction in which the stockholders of the Third Party immediately prior to consummation of such Business Combination Transaction will own more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock immediately following such Business Combination Transaction, including the issuance by the Company of more than 20% of any class of its equity securities as consideration for assets or securities of a Third Party, or (iii) any direct or indirect acquisition by any Third Party of 20% or more of the outstanding capital stock of the Company or of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions.

     “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written proposal or offer made by a Third Party in respect of a Business Combination Transaction involving, or any purchase or acquisition of,

(i) at least 66% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, (ii) at least 66% of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock or (iii) at least 66% of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which Business Combination Transaction or other purchase or acquisition contains terms and conditions that the Special Committee determines in good faith, by resolution duly adopted after consultation with its outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, would result in a transaction that if consummated would be more favorable to the Public Stockholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taking into account all of the terms and conditions of such proposal and of this Agreement (including any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement); provided, however, that such Business Combination Transaction shall not be deemed to be a “Superior Proposal” unless the Special Committee determines in good faith that any financing required to consummate such Business Combination Transaction is capable of being, and is reasonably likely to be, obtained.

     Section 5.08 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent and Merger Sub the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether commenced prior to or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Company agrees that it shall not settle or offer to settle any litigation commenced prior to or after the date hereof against the Company or any of its directors or executive officers by any stockholder of the Company relating to this Agreement, the Merger, any other transaction contemplated hereby or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Parent.

     Section 5.09 Solvency Opinion. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to retain a nationally recognized appraisal or valuation firm for purposes of obtaining from such firm its opinion as to whether each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries that is contemplated to make a distribution in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Drawdown) will (i) in the case of any such Person that is a corporation, have at the Closing sufficient surplus under Delaware law out of which to make such distribution, (ii) in the case any such Person that is a limited liability company, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Drawdown), have at the Closing assets the fair market value of which exceeds its liabilities and (iii) in the case of all such Persons, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Drawdown), (x) be able to pay its debts as they come due, (y) have assets the fair value and present fair salable value of which exceed its stated liabilities and identified contingent liabilities and (z) have remaining capital that is not unreasonably small for the business in which such Person is engaged and proposed to be engaged (a favorable opinion from such firm with respect to each of the foregoing, the “Solvency Opinion”).

     Section 5.10 Financing Capacity. Parent shall not, and shall not cause any other Person to, take any action that would result in a material reduction of the Broadband Restricted Payment Capacity or the LLC Restricted Payment Capacity other than any action taken to effect the Drawdown in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, or to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, shall (i) be brought, heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) (provided that, in the event that subject matter jurisdiction is unavailable

Each Party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each Party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the Parties. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties, in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

     Section 8.05 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

     Section 8.06 Headings. Headings are used for reference purposes only and do not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

enforceable by the beneficiaries contemplated thereby, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided that after the Effective Time, the Public Stockholders shall be express third party beneficiaries of the provisions of the Sections 1.07 and 2.02 to the extent such provisions obligate the Company to make payments to the Public Stockholders of the Merger Consideration and for no other purpose.

     Section 8.08 Remedies.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

     1. Limitation On Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable laws presently or hereafter in effect, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her duties as a director of the Corporation. If the DGCL is hereafter amended to authorize, with the approval of a corporation’s stockholders, further reductions in the liability of the Corporation’s directors for breach of fiduciary duty, then a director of the Corporation shall not be liable for any such breach to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing immediately prior to such repeal or modification.

     2. Indemnification.

          (a) Right to Indemnification. The Corporation will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise

involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, representative or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such person. Such right of indemnification will inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters that antedate the adoption of this Article VII. The Corporation will be required to indemnify or make advances to 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 (except as otherwise provided in Section 2(c) of this Article VII).

          (b) Advancement of Expenses. The Corporation will pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any person entitled to indemnification under this Article VII in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by any such indemnified person in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding will be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by such indemnified person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VII or otherwise.

          (c) Claims. If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Section is not paid in full within 30 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, to the extent permitted by law, will be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation will have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

          (d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section will not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise.

          (e) Insurance. The board of directors of the Corporation may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Corporation’s expense insurance: (i) to indemnify the Corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification provisions of this Article VII; and (ii) to indemnify or insure directors and officers against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Corporation under the provisions of this Article VII.

          (f) 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, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity will be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from

such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity.

     3. Amendment or Repeal.

     Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing provisions of this Article VII will 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 amendment, modification or repeal or any proceeding relating to any such act or omission, whether such proceeding is commenced before or after the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at such person’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice is by facsimile, electronic mail or other means of electronic communication, such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time provided in the Law. If a quorum for the transaction of business shall not be represented at the meeting, the meeting shall be adjourned by the stockholders present.

     Section 6. Quorum. A quorum at any meeting of stockholders shall consist of a majority of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat, represented in person or by proxy. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by Law, the Certificate or these Bylaws and except for the election of directors. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any Stockholder. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

     (b) Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:

(1)

A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or its authorized officer, director, employee, or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, facsimile signature.

(2)

A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for the stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization, or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams, or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied.

     Any copy, facsimile telecommunication, or other reliable reproductions of the writing of transmission created pursuant to subsection (b) of this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication, or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

     A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long, as it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.

     Section 8. Consent in Lieu of Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken shall be signed and dated 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 shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the stockholders.

The number of directors may be increased or decreased by action of the stockholders from time to time. Directors shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders or until their earlier resignation or removal or until their successors have been elected and qualified; however, no provision of this section shall

be restrictive upon the right of the Board to fill vacancies or upon the right of stockholders to remove directors as is hereinafter provided. Each of the directors shall be at least eighteen years of age.

Notice need not be given. Special meetings of the Board may be held at any time that all directors are present in person, and the presence of any director at a meeting shall constitute waiver of notice of such meeting, except as otherwise provided by Law. Unless specifically required by Law, the Certificate, or these Bylaws, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

     Section 4. Quorum. A quorum at all meetings of the Board shall consist of a majority of the number of directors then fixed by these Bylaws or by action of the stockholders, but a smaller number may adjourn from time to time without further notice, until a quorum be secured. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, unless the act of a greater number of directors is required by the Certificate, these Bylaws, or Law.

A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of such person’s predecessor in office, and shall hold such office until such person’s earlier resignation or removal or until such person’s successor has been elected and qualified. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of the directors then in office or by an election at an annual meeting or at a special meeting of stockholders called for that purpose. A director chosen to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until such person’s successor has been elected and qualified.

     Section 6. Compensation of Directors. Directors may receive such fees as may be established by appropriate resolution of the Board for attendance at meetings of the Board, and in addition thereto, may receive reasonable traveling expense, if any is required, for attendance at such meetings.

     Section 7. Removal of Directors. Any director or the entire Board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except as follows: (1) Unless the Certificate otherwise provides, in the case

of a corporation whose Board is classified, stockholders may effect such removal only for cause or (2) If the Corporation has cumulative voting and less than the entire Board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such person’s removal would be sufficient to elect such person if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors which such person is a part.

     Section 8. Meetings by Telephone. Members of the Board may participate in and act at any meeting of the Board through the use of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in such a meeting shall constitute attendance and presence in person at the meeting of the person(s) so participating.

     Section 9. Action Without a Meeting. Any action which is required to be taken at a meeting of the directors, or of any committee of the directors, may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by all of the members of the board or of the committee as the case may be. The consents shall be filed in the corporate records. Action taken is effective when all directors or committee members have signed the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. Such consent has the same force and effect as an unanimous vote of the directors or committee members and may be stated as such in any document.

[Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.]

Exhibit 10.1

EXECUTION COPY

VOTING AGREEMENT

     This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 12, 2010, is entered into by and among Mediacom Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Mediacom”), Rocco B. Commisso (“Parent”) and JMC Communications LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), (each of Parent and Merger Sub, a “Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders”).

     WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Mediacom, Parent and Merger Sub are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Mediacom, with Mediacom surviving as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”);

     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the record owner of the number of shares of Class A common stock of Mediacom (the “Class A Shares”) and shares of Class B common stock of Mediacom (the “Class B Shares” and together with the Class A Shares, the “Shares”) set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Annex A hereto; and

     WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Mediacom has required that each of the Stockholders agree, and each of the Stockholders is willing to agree, to the matters set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Voting of Shares.

     1.1 Voting Agreement. From the date hereof, and until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5, each Stockholder hereby agrees to vote all of its Shares, at any annual, special or other meeting of the stockholders of Mediacom, and at any adjournment or adjournments or postponement thereof, or pursuant to any consent in lieu of a meeting or otherwise, which such Stockholder has the right to so vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the Merger) and any actions required in furtherance thereof.

     1.2 Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder constitutes and appoints Mediacom and Mark E. Stephan, from and after the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 (at which point such constitution and appointment shall automatically be revoked), as such Stockholder’s attorney, agent and proxy (each such constitution and appointment, an “Irrevocable Proxy”), with full power of substitution, to vote and otherwise act with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Shares at any annual, special or other meeting of the stockholders of Mediacom, and at any adjournment or adjournments or postponement thereof, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of Mediacom, on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 1.1. EACH SUCH PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND BINDING ON ANY PERSON TO WHOM SUCH STOCKHOLDER MAY TRANSFER ANY OF ITS SHARES IN BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. Each Stockholder hereby revokes all other proxies and powers of attorney with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Shares that may have heretofore been appointed or granted with respect to the matters covered by Section 1.1, and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given (and if given, shall not be effective) by such Stockholder with respect thereto on the matters covered by Section 1.1. It is agreed that Mediacom will not use the Irrevocable Proxy granted by any Stockholder unless such Stockholder fails to comply with Section 1.1 and that, to the extent Mediacom uses any such Irrevocable Proxy, it will only vote the Shares subject to such Irrevocable Proxy with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 1.1.

     1.3 Not Applicable to Parent in Other Capacities. Nothing herein contained shall (a) restrict, limit or prohibit Parent from exercising (in his capacity as a director or officer) his fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Mediacom under applicable law, or (ii) require Parent, in his capacity as an officer of Mediacom, to take any action in

contravention of, or omit to take any action pursuant to, or otherwise take or refrain from taking any actions which are inconsistent with, instructions or directions of the Board of Directors of Mediacom undertaken in the exercise of his fiduciary duties, provided that nothing in this Section 1.3 shall relieve or be deemed to relieve Parent from his obligations under Section 1.1 of this Agreement.

     1.4 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Each Stockholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger.

     1.5 Stop Transfer. Each Stockholder agrees that it shall not request that the Company register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing such Stockholder’s Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement.

2. Representations and Warranties of Each Stockholder.

     Each Stockholder, severally, as to itself, represents and warrants to Mediacom as follows:

     2.1 Binding Agreement. Such Stockholder has the capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Such Stockholder has duly and validly executed and delivered (and if such Stockholder is not a natural person, authorized) this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

     2.2 No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the performance of such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder will (a) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, or acceleration) under any contract, agreement, instrument, commitment, arrangement or understanding, or result in the creation of a security interest, lien, charge, encumbrance, equity or claim with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, (b) require any consent, authorization or approval of any person or (c) violate or conflict with any law, writ, injunction or decree applicable to such Stockholder or such Stockholder’s Shares.

     2.3 Ownership of Shares. Such Stockholder is the record owner of the number of Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Annex A hereto, free and clear of any security interests, liens, charges, encumbrances, equities, claims, options or limitations of whatever nature and free of any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares), except, in each case, as may exist by reason of this Agreement and as otherwise set forth on Schedule 2.3. As of the date hereof, such Shares constitute all of the Shares owned of record by such Stockholder.

3. Transfer and Other Restrictions.

     Until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5:

     3.1 Certain Prohibited Transfers. Each Stockholder agrees not to:

     (a) sell, sell short, transfer (including by gift), pledge, mortgage, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of (each a “Transfer”), any of its Class B Shares, other than pursuant to this Agreement;

     (b) with respect to any of its Shares, grant any proxy or power of attorney or enter into any voting agreement or other arrangement relating to the matters covered by Section 1.1, other than this Agreement; or

     (c) deposit any of its Shares into a voting trust.

     3.2 Additional Shares. Without limiting any provisions of the Merger Agreement, in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of capital stock of Mediacom on, of or affecting any Stockholder’s Shares, then the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the shares of capital stock or other such securities of Mediacom held by such Stockholder immediately following the effectiveness of such event.

     3.3 Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 3.1, each Stockholder will be entitled to Transfer Class B Shares to the other Stockholder and Parent, with the prior consent of the Special Committee (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, will be entitled to Transfer Class B Shares to (a) his wife, children and other members of his family, (b) trusts, foundations, limited and general partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities in connection with good faith estate planning and similar wealth management programs and arrangements and (c) foundations charitable organizations and similar entities in connection with Parent’s charitable giving, in each case so long as Parent has the right to vote such shares in accordance with this Agreement.

4. Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that each party shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity.

5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) a written agreement between Mediacom and any Stockholder to terminate this Agreement, provided that any such termination shall be effective only with respect to such Stockholder and (c) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5 shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of its obligations hereunder committed prior to such termination.

6. Survival. The representations, warranties and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall not survive any termination of this Agreement, provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any willful breach of this Agreement.

7. Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given to a party when (a) delivered to the appropriate address by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid), (b) sent by facsimile or e-mail with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment or (c) received or rejected by the addressee, if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case to the following addresses, facsimile numbers or e-mail addresses and marked to the attention of the person (by name or title) designated below (or to such other address, facsimile number, e-mail address or person as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
