B.Common Stock Voting Rights.
1.The holders of shares of Common Stock shall have the following voting rights and powers:
a.Each holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled, with respect to each share of Class A Common Stock held by such holder on the applicable record date, to one (1) vote in person or by proxy on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock, whether voting separately as a class or otherwise; and
b.Subject to Clause B.3 of this Article FOURTH, each A/N Party shall be entitled, with respect to each share of Class B Common Stock held by such A/N Party on the applicable record date, to such number of votes in person or by proxy on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock such that the number of votes to which all A/N Parties shall be entitled with respect to the Class B Common Stock held by them on the applicable record date, in the aggregate, is equal to the number of votes which would attach, in the aggregate but without duplication, to (i) the Class A Common Stock into which all Charter Holdings Class B Common Units (as hereinafter defined) held by the A/N Parties as of the applicable record date are exchangeable and (ii) the Class A Common Stock into which all Charter Holdings Preferred Units (as hereinafter defined) held by the A/N Parties as of the applicable record date (assuming the prior conversion of such Charter Holdings Preferred Units into Charter Holdings Class B Common Units) are exchangeable; in each case, without regard to any restrictions on effecting such exchange, and in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation, the LLC Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the Exchange Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

Any holder of Class B Common Stock who is not an A/N Party shall not be entitled to any vote on any matter with respect to any share of Class B Common Stock held by such holder (other than as required by law). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the conversion and/or exchange or repurchase,directly or indirectly, by the Corporation of all Charter Holdings Class B Common Units and Charter Holdings Preferred Units held by the A/N Parties, the Class B Common Stock shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to be authorized hereunder.
