ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing the text
added to Item 3 by Amendment No. 8 with the following:

CC Systems received the acquisition funds from its indirect 100% parent
Charter Holdings as a contribution to capital.

Charter Holdings received the acquisition funds from one or both of
Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating") or Falcon Cable
Communications, LLC ("Falcon" and together with Charter Operating, referred to
as the funding subsidiaries), each of which is an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Charter Holdco, as a repayment of certain intercompany receivables
held by Charter Holdings. The funding subsidiaries obtained the acquisition
funds from a combination of their working capital and drawdowns on the credit
facilities described below.

The credit facility for Charter Operating was entered into on March 18,
1999, amended and restated on January 3, 2002, and consists of senior secured
credit facilities arranged by Chase Securities Inc., Nationsbanc Montgomery
Securities LLC and TD Securities (USA) Inc. These credit facilities are
guaranteed by Charter Holdings and by Charter Operating's subsidiaries and are
secured by pledges of intercompany obligations and ownership interests. These
credit facilities include Tranche A and B term loans and a revolving loan with
an aggregate $1.34 billion borrowing limit. The final maturity date for both the
Tranche A term loan and the revolving loan is September 18, 2007. The final
maturity dates for the two Tranche B term loans are March 2008 and September 18,
2008. The interest rate on the Tranche A and B term loans and the revolving loan
may be determined by two options, a base rate option, which is generally the
"prime rate" of interest plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.75% depending on
the leverage ratio of Charter Operating and its subsidiaries and an interbank
Eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.75% also depending on the
leverage ratio of Charter Operating and its subsidiaries. The effective rate
under Charter Operating's revolving loan will depend on the prime rate or the
interbank Eurodollar rate and the margin applicable at the time.

-------------------- -------------------
CUSIP NO. 42979U-102 13D Page 10 of 13 Pages
-------------------- -------------------

The foregoing description of Charter Operating's credit facilities is
not, and does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety to
Charter Operating's Credit Agreement and the First, Second and Third Amendments
to that Credit Agreement, copies of which have been previously filed as Exhibits
10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, to this Schedule 13D, as well as an
amendment and restatement of those credit facilities, which is filed herewith as
Exhibit 10.14.

Falcon's credit facilities with BankBoston, N.A., Bank of America, N.A.
and the Chase Manhattan Bank, as agents, were amended and restated as of
September 26, 2001, and are senior secured credit facilities guaranteed by
Falcon's direct parent, which is an affiliate of Charter Holdco, and by Falcon's
subsidiaries and are secured by pledges of intercompany obligations and
ownership interests. These credit facilities currently permit maximum borrowing
of $1.25 billion and include Term Loans B and C and three revolving loan
facilities. The final maturity dates for the revolving loan and the supplemental
revolving loan are December 29, 2006 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The
final maturity date for Term Loans B and C are June 29, 2007 and December 31,
2007, respectively. The interest rate on Term Loans B and C and the revolving
loan facilities may be determined by two options, a base rate options, which is
generally the "prime rate" of interest plus a margin ranging from 0% to 1.5%,
depending on the leverage ratio of Falcon and its subsidiaries, and an interbank
Eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.5%, also depending on the
leverage ratio of Falcon and its subsidiaries. The effective rate under Falcon's
revolving loan and supplemental revolving loan will depend on the prime rate and
the margin applicable at the time.

The foregoing description of Falcon's credit facilities is not, and
does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety to Falcon's
Form of Credit Agreement, a copy of which has been previously filed as Exhibit
10.6 to this Schedule 13D, as well as an amendment and restatement of those
credit facilities, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.15.

their respective credit facilities for purposes of consummating the transactions
contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and related agreements in the
ordinary course of business, substantially consistent with their past practice
of borrowing and repaying similar amounts under their credit facilities.
