Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Stockholders Agreement

On March 19, 2013, in connection with its entrance into the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with Charter. The following is a summary of certain of the material terms of the Stockholders Agreement. The following description does not purport to cover all of the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full document, which has been incorporated into this Statement by reference as Exhibit 7(a).

Election and Appointment of the Liberty Designees

On May 1, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Board appointed the Liberty Designees to the Board to fill the vacancies created by the resignation of the four designees of the Sellers. Charter will cause four Liberty designees to be included in management’s slate of nominees for election as a director at its 2014 and 2015 annual meetings of stockholders, and will use reasonable best efforts to cause the election of each such director. However, Charter is under no obligation to nominate and recommend a proposed Liberty designee (other than Messrs. Malone and Maffei (or any person who succeeds Mr. Maffei as Chief Executive Officer of Liberty)) if the majority of the Board (excluding the Liberty designees) determines, in good faith, that service by such nominee as a director would reasonably be expected to fail to meet certain requirements, including applicable stock exchange independence standards and Charter’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. In the event of any such determination, the Reporting Person is entitled to designate a replacement director for appointment or nomination. During the period specified in the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Person will vote its shares of Common Stock in accordance with the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board with respect to the election or removal of directors. The number of designees that the Reporting Person is

entitled to designate for nomination is determined based on the Reporting Person’s ownership interest in Charter at the time of determination.

The Company agreed to cause the appointment of a Liberty Designee to each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board, provided that such Liberty Designee meets the independence and other requirements under applicable law, such committee’s charter and applicable stock exchange rules for such committee. Accordingly, on the Closing Date, the Board appointed Mr. Malone to serve on its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Mr. Maffei to serve on the Compensation and Benefits Committee, and Mr. Huseby to serve on the Audit Committee.

Charter can elect, by notice to the Reporting Person after the fifth business day and prior to the tenth business day of January 2016, to terminate the obligation to nominate the Reporting Person’s designees to the Board and, in such event, the standstill provisions noted below will also terminate. Beginning in 2017, the Reporting Person and Charter will each have an annual right to terminate the Board nomination and standstill obligations by delivering notice to the other party of such termination by the tenth business day of January of such year.

Limitation on Share Ownership; Standstill

Subject to certain limited exceptions, the Reporting Person agreed that it will not, directly or indirectly, acquire voting securities of Charter in excess of 35% prior to the fifth business day of January 2016 and thereafter in excess of 39.99% of the outstanding issued voting securities of the Issuer and any other securities issued by the Issuer that derive their value from any voting security (the “Ownership Limitation”). The Reporting Person is also subject to certain customary standstill provisions that prohibit the Reporting Person from, among other things, engaging in any solicitation of proxies or consents relating to the election of directors, proposing a matter for submission to a vote of shareholders of Charter or calling a meeting of the shareholders of Charter or taking any action or making any public statement not approved by the Board to seek to control or influence the management, the Board or the policies of Charter.

The standstill limitations described above will cease to apply to the Reporting Person beginning in January 2016 if Charter elects to terminate its obligation to nominate the Reporting Person’s designees for election at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, as described above. In addition, the standstill limitations will cease to apply once the Reporting Person owns less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock and upon termination by either party in 2017 and thereafter as described above.

DGCL 203 Waiver/Stockholder Rights Plan

Prior to the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Board approved the Reporting Person as an “interested stockholder” under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). In addition, Charter agreed not to implement any other antitakeover defenses, including, the adoption of a poison pill, that would adversely affect the Reporting Person’s ability to enjoy its rights of ownership with respect to the Common Stock and Warrants acquired in the Acquisition, after taking into account the share ownership limitations described above.

Transfers to Third Parties; Exemptions Under any Future Shareholder Rights Plan

Charter agreed to not adopt a poison pill that would preclude (i) the Reporting Person’s accumulation of Charter’s voting securities up to and including a percentage equal to or less than 39.99%, and (ii) in the event that the Reporting Persons transfers all or such portion of its voting securities to a third party such that the Reporting Person holds less than 15% of the outstanding voting securities of Charter, such third party transferee’s accumulation of Charter’s voting securities up to and including a percentage less than or equal to 35%.

Termination

The Stockholders Agreement terminates upon certain events, including upon the events described above under Election and Appointment of the Liberty Designees. If the Stockholders Agreement is terminated as described under Election and Appointment of the Liberty Designees, the share ownership limitations described

above and Charter’s obligations described under Transfers to Third Parties; Exemptions Under any Future Shareholder Rights Plan above cease to apply.

Acquisition Financing.

Margin Loan Agreement with Nomura Securities (Bermuda) Ltd.

On the Closing Date, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Reporting Person entered into a margin loan agreement with Nomura Securities (Bermuda) Ltd., as lender, which provides for a $300 million term loan. The entire loan was drawn on the Closing Date and formed part of the financing for the Acquisition. The maturity date of the loan is June 1, 2014; however, the lender may agree to extend the maturity date of any amount of the loan to either November 1, 2015 or May 1, 2016.

The borrower’s obligations under the loan agreement are guaranteed by the Reporting Person for a period of up to one year, and secured by a first priority lien on up to 9,075,730 shares of Common Stock. If the borrower defaults on its obligations under the loan agreement or the Reporting Person defaults on its obligations under its guaranty, then the lender can declare all amounts outstanding under the loan agreement, with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, and if the borrower and the Reporting Person are unable to pay such amounts, the lender may foreclose on the pledged stock and any other collateral that then secures borrowings under the loan agreement.

Borrowings under the loan agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the three-month LIBOR Rate plus a set spread.

The borrower may prepay all or a portion of the loan at any time, subject to certain notice requirements and an early termination premium if the loan is prepaid, in whole or in part, prior to December 13, 2013. The loan agreement requires mandatory prepayments or, in some cases, the posting of additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for loans of this type.

The loan agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the activities of the borrower. The loan agreement does not include any financial covenants. It contains events of default that are customary for loans of this type.

Margin Loan Agreement with various lenders and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent

On the Closing Date, a second wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Reporting Person entered into a margin loan agreement with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and calculation agent, Citibank, N.A., as a lender, and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as a lender. Borrowings under the loan agreement formed part of the financing for the Acquisition. The loan agreement permits the borrower, subject to certain funding conditions, to borrow up to $670 million, consisting of an initial $370 million term loan and an optional second $300 million term loan that must be drawn before June 3, 2013 and is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. On the Closing Date, the initial $370 million term loan was drawn by the borrower. The maturity date of all loans made under the loan agreement is May 1, 2015; however, each lender may agree to extend the maturity date of any amount of their respective portion of the loans to either November 1, 2015 or May 1, 2016.

The borrower’s obligations under the loan agreement are guaranteed by the Reporting Person for a period of up to one year, and secured by a first priority lien on up to on 11,193,401 shares of Common Stock (if the second $300 million term loan is drawn, the priority lien will increase by an amount up to a total of 26,900,000 shares of Common Stock based on a loan to value calculation). If the borrower defaults on its obligations under the loan agreement or the Reporting Person defaults on its obligations under its guaranty, then the lenders can declare all amounts outstanding under the loan agreement, with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, and if the borrower and the Reporting Person are unable to pay such amounts, the lenders may foreclose on the pledged collateral that secures the borrowings under the loan agreement.

Borrowings under the loan agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the three-month LIBOR Rate plus a set spread.

The borrower may prepay all or a portion of the loans under the loan agreement at any time, subject to certain notice requirements and an early termination premium if, with respect to the initial $370 million term loan, the borrower prepays all or any portion of the term loan prior to February 1, 2014, or, with respect to the second term loan, the borrower does not draw the loan or draws it and prepays all or any portion prior to the date that is nine months from the date of such draw. The loan agreement requires mandatory prepayments or, in some cases, the posting of additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for loans of this type.

Margin Loan Agreement with various lenders and Merrill Lynch International, as Administrative Agent

On April 30, 2013, a third wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Reporting Person entered into a margin loan agreement with Merrill Lynch International, as administrative agent and calculation agent, Bank of America, N.A., as a lender, and Citibank, N.A., as a lender. Borrowings under the loan agreement formed part of the financing for the Acquisition. The loan agreement permits the borrower, subject to certain funding conditions, to borrow up to $1.0 billion, consisting of a $250 million term loan and up to $750 million on a revolving credit basis. On April 30, 2013, $700 million in loans (the $250 million term loan and $450 million in revolving loans) were made to the borrower under the loan agreement, with $300 million in revolving commitments still available for future loans. Additionally, up to $1.0 billion in loans may be extended under the loan agreement in the form of incremental loans, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The maximum amount of loans available to the borrower under the loan agreement (including the maximum amount of potential incremental loans) is $2.0 billion. The maturity date of all loans under the loan agreement is October 30, 2014.

The borrower’s obligations under the loan agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and secured by a first priority lien on a basket of publicly traded common stocks owned by the Company. If the borrower defaults on its obligations under the loan agreement or the Company defaults on its obligations under its guaranty, then the lenders can declare all borrowings outstanding under the loan agreement, with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, and if the borrower and the Company are unable to pay such amounts, the lenders may foreclose on the pledged stock and any other collateral that then secures the borrower’s obligations under the loan agreement.

Borrowings under the loan agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus a spread varying based on the common stocks pledged to secure borrowings.

The borrower may prepay all loans under the loan agreement at any time, subject to certain notice requirements and an early termination premium if the borrower prepays all or any portion of the term loan prior to January 30, 2014.

The loan agreement requires mandatory prepayments or, in some cases, the posting of additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for loans of this type.

The loan agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the activities of the borrower. The loan agreement does not include any financial covenants. It also contains events of default that are customary for loans of this type.
