Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

        On January 26, 2005, Adelphia Communications Corporation (the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries, including the registrants, entered into a commitment letter and a related fee letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Citicorp North America, Inc. (collectively, the "Committed Banks") pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Committed Banks have agreed to provide a portion of and to syndicate an extended debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "Extended DIP Facility"). The terms of the commitment letter contemplate, among other things (i) the extension of the maturity date from March 31, 2005, the maturity date under the Company's existing debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "Existing DIP Facility"), to March 31, 2006, (ii) an increase in the aggregate commitments of the lenders from $1.0 billion, representing the aggregate commitments of the lenders under the Existing DIP Facility, to $1.3 billion, comprised of an $800 million revolving credit facility (including a $500 million letter of credit subfacility) and a $500 million loan, and (iii) a decrease in the borrowing margins with respect to loans made under the Extended DIP Facility. The commitment letter and the related fee letter will not become binding upon the Company or its subsidiaries party thereto unless and until such agreements are approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Company and its subsidiaries intend to file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking the approval of the commitment letter and the related fee letter and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

        A copy of the commitment letter is attached to this filing as Exhibit 10.01 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the commitment letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

        As previously announced, a syndicate of financial institutions have committed to provide to the Company up to $8.8 billion in exit financing in connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy. Certain of the Committed Banks are members of the syndicate of financial institutions that have committed to provide such exit financing to the Company. In addition, certain of the Committed Banks were lenders and agents under certain of the Company's and its subsidiaries' pre-petition credit facilities. As previously announced, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Equity Holders appointed in the bankruptcy cases of the Company and its subsidiaries previously have initiated or propose to initiate, respectively, an adversary proceeding against the lenders and agents under the Company's and its subsidiaries' pre-petition credit agreements. A more complete description of such adversary proceeding is set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 (the "2003 Form 10-K") as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The foregoing summary of such adversary proceeding is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of such adversary proceeding in such 2003 Form 10-K.
