ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION OF REGISTRANT. 

On January 26, 2006, CCH II, LLC and CCH II Capital Corp. (together, the "Issuers"), indirect subsidiaries of Charter Communications, Inc., entered into a purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with J. P. Morgan Securities Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as representatives of several purchasers.  In the Agreement, the Issuers agreed to issue and sell, in a private transaction under Rule 144A and Regulation S, $450 million in principal amount of 10.25% Senior Notes due 2010 (the "Notes").  In the Agreement, the Issuers agreed to issue the Notes with the benefit of a Registration Rights Agreement and under a Supplemental Indenture, each with terms substantially similar to the terms of the Issuers' existing 10.25% senior notes.  The Notes will bear interest at 10.25% per annum, payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, will mature on September 15, 2010 and are redeemable at the Issuers' option on or after September 15, 2008 at various redemption prices beginning at 105.25% in September 2008 and declining to par in September 2009.  In addition, from the proceeds of certain equity offerings, we may redeem up to 35% of the Notes at 110.25% of their principal amount. The purchase of the Notes closed on January 30, 2006.
 
The Issuers intend to use the foregoing net proceeds to repay, but not permanently reduce, the outstanding debt balances under the existing revolving credit facility of our subsidiary, Charter Communications Operating, LLC.
