From and after the closing of the Transactions, each of Cox Parent and A/N are entitled to designate up to three nominees to be elected to the Board, provided that each maintains certain specified voting or equity ownership thresholds. Cox Parent and A/N also have certain committee designation rights, subject to applicable stock exchange rules and certain specified voting or equity ownership thresholds, and other governance rights. Additionally, the Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement provides that each of Cox Parent and A/N are subject to certain limits on acquisitions of equity securities of Charter (30% in the case of Cox Parent; 19% in the case of A/N). In addition, any shares owned by Cox Parent or A/N in excess of its applicable voting cap (30% in the case of Cox Parent; 15% in the case of A/N) must be voted in proportion to the public stockholders of Charter, other than with respect to certain specified matters. Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, each of Cox Parent and A/N are subject to certain standstill provisions and are not permitted to form a group, within the meaning of Regulation 13D, with each other or otherwise have arrangements or understandings concerning Charter except as otherwise permitted by the Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement.

Each of Cox Parent and A/N are subject to certain restrictions on their ability to sell, transfer or dispose of their Charter securities. The rights of each of Cox Parent and A/N under the Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement will generally terminate as such party falls below certain equity ownership thresholds, subject to certain grace periods during which such party can return its ownership or voting interest to the applicable threshold.
The Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement also provides that, on the Closing Date, (i) Alexander C. Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cox Parent, will serve as the Chairman of the Board for an initial three-year term (unless Mr. Taylor ceases to serve as a member of the Board prior thereto) and (ii) the lead independent director of the Board will be Eric L. Zinterhofer. Following Mr. Taylor's term as Chairman, the Board will return to its normal annual process. Additionally, following Mr. Taylor's term as Chairman, Christopher L. Winfrey, the Chief Executive Officer of Charter, will serve as Chairman of the Board; provided that if Mr. Winfrey is no longer a member of the Board or is unwilling to serve as Chairman, then Mr. Zinterhofer instead will serve as Chairman (subject to his continued membership on the Board and willingness to serve).

Under the A/N Letter Agreement, A/N will sell to the Issuer or to Charter Holdings, generally on a monthly basis, a number of shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock or Charter Holdings common units that represents a pro rata participation by A/N and its affiliates in any repurchases of shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock from persons other than A/N or Cox Parent effected by the Issuer during the immediately preceding calendar month, at a purchase price equal to the average price paid by the Issuer for the shares repurchased from persons other than A/N or Cox Parent during such immediately preceding calendar month and excluding repurchases in privately negotiated transactions or deemed repurchases due to cashless exercise of or payment of withholding taxes with respect to director, officer or employee equity awards of the Issuer. The Issuer has the right to terminate this arrangement (i) prior to August 19, 2032, if an unforeseen circumstance arises that would cause the continued repurchases to result in any significant adverse impact to the Issuer as determined by the Issuer in good faith or (ii) at any time after August 19, 2032. A/N has the right to terminate or suspend the repurchase arrangement at any time.
