(b) TWX hereby consents and agrees that the calculation of Indebtedness (as defined in the Shareholder Agreement) for the purpose of Section 2(a) of the Shareholder Agreement shall exclude any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Papers (or any Alternative Financing) and any Indebtedness which reduces, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the commitments of the lenders under the Bridge Commitment Papers and/or any Alternative Financing.

(c) The Parties shall consult with each other and use reasonable best efforts to compress the time period between the TWNY Exchange and the Distribution, subject to full compliance with applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the NYSE. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties shall consult with each other prior to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.01(a)(i), 5.01(a)(ii), 5.01(a)(iv), 5.01(b)(i) and 5.01(c)(i) with respect to the anticipated form of Distribution in order to determine the appropriate time for TWCable to file any Registration Statement and/or Information Statement required in connection with the Distribution;provided,however, that any decision with respect to the form of Distribution shall in all events remain within TWX’s sole discretion after consultation with TWCable. To the extent that any action contemplated by this Article II or Article III is not taken on the day such action is contemplated to be taken, then the Parties shall take such action as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter and, if necessary, make appropriate reasonable adjustments to the timing of any subsequent action affected thereby.

SECTION 2.02.Spin-Split Decision. (a) TWX may elect to effect the Distribution in the form of either a dividend of shares of TWCable Capital Stock distributed to Eligible Holders on a pro rata basis (a “Spin-Off”), an exchange of TWCable Capital Stock for Eligible Shares (a “Split-Off”) or a combination thereof. TWX may make such election by written notice to TWCable (the “Distribution Method Notification”), at any time, in its sole discretion after consultation with TWCable, but in any event not later than five days after the conditions set forth in Sections 5.01(a)(i), 5.01(a)(ii), 5.01(a)(iv), 5.01(b)(i) and 5.01(c)(i) have been satisfied or waived by the Parties entitled to the benefits thereof.

SECTION 2.04.End of Internal Restructuring; The Second Internal Split-Off. (a) Subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by TWX, of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02, on the TWNY Exchange Date, immediately upon completion of the TWNY Exchange, Historic TW shall complete the Second Internal Split-Off.

SECTION 2.05.Special Dividend Distribution to TWCable Stockholders. (a) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.03(a), as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than one business day, following the receipt of the Internal Restructuring Completion Notification, the Board of Directors of TWCable or any duly constituted committee thereof, in accordance with applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the NYSE, shall declare a special cash dividend to be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of the TWCable Capital Stock in an amount equal to $10.27 per share of the TWCable Capital Stock (the “Special

Dividend”) and shall establish a date and time as the record date for the determination of stockholders of TWCable who are entitled to receive the Special Dividend (the “Special Dividend Record Date”), which date and time shall be (i) determined in accordance with Section 2.05(b) or 2.05(c), as applicable, and (ii) in any event, at least 10 days after the Special Dividend Declaration Date. The Parties agree that the payment of the Special Dividend shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.03(b).

(e) The Special Dividend Payment Date shall be on, or the business day immediately following, the Special Dividend Record Date.

(f) TWCable shall not take or cause to be taken or omit to take any action that would be reasonably expected to result in a determination pursuant to applicable Law that, immediately after and as a result of the payment of the Special Dividend, TWCable (i) became insolvent at the Special Dividend Payment Date, (ii) was left with unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business or (iii) incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, such that the payment of the Special Dividend may be deemed a fraudulent conveyance or impermissible dividend or distribution under applicable Law.

(g) TWCable shall be entitled to withhold from the Special Dividend payable to the holder of any shares of TWCable Capital Stock outstanding as of the Special Dividend Record Date such amounts as are required to be withheld with respect to the making of such payments under applicable Law with respect to Taxes. Any amounts withheld in accordance with this Section 2.05(g) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons otherwise entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(g), TWCable shall not withhold any amounts with respect to the portion of the Special Dividend payable to TWX.

SECTION 2.06.Recapitalization. Subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by the Parties entitled to the benefits thereof, of the conditions set forth in Section 5.04(a), on the day of, or the business day immediately following, the Special

Dividend Payment Date, TWCable shall cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Amended Charter, which filing shall provide that the Amended Charter shall become immediately effective upon filing.

(c) If TWX elects to effect all or a portion of the Distribution as a Split-Off, TWX shall, in its sole discretion after consultation with TWCable, determine the timing, terms and conditions of such exchange offer, the period during which such exchange offer shall remain open, including the number of shares of TWCable Capital Stock that shall be offered for each validly tendered Eligible Share, the procedures for the tender and exchange of shares and all other provisions of such exchange offer, which shall comply with securities law requirements and NYSE requirements applicable to such exchange offer in all material respects;provided,however, that:

(v) TWX shall extend the exchange offer if, following receipt by TWX of its share of the Special Dividend, the Recapitalization has not occurred or any Government Order or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the Distribution shall be in effect;provided,however, that TWX may terminate the exchange offer in such circumstances if (x) TWCable shall have failed to use reasonable best efforts to (i) effect the Recapitalization and (ii) take all actions reasonably necessary to remove such Government Order or other legal restraint or prohibition and (y) TWX shall have used reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to remove such Government Order or other legal restraint or prohibition, in each case, in accordance with Section 4.04(b) as of such time;provided further,however, that for as long as TWCable Capital Stock owned by TWX is deposited with the Distribution Agent, TWCable shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers and representatives not to, take any action that requires, or could result in requiring, a TWCable stockholder vote except as otherwise required by Law; and

(iv) if (A) TWX elects to effect all or a portion of the Distribution as a Split-Off, (B) TWX has not received its share of the Special Dividend and (C) this Agreement or the exchange offer is terminated because of the occurrence of a Section 5.03 Termination Event or the exchange offer expires without shares of TWX Common Stock being accepted for payment by reason of the occurrence of a Section 5.03 Termination Event or the failure of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.04(a)(ii) or 5.05(b) as of such time, then the Distribution Agent shall immediately return the Trust Stock then held by the Distribution Agent to TWX or its designees.

(b) Subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by TWX, of the conditions set forth in Section 5.05, if the Distribution is effected in whole or in part as a Split-Off, each Eligible Holder shall be entitled to receive for each Eligible Share validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Eligible Holder a number of shares of TWCable Capital Stock, which shall be determined by TWX in its sole discretion after consultation with TWCable as provided in Section 3.01(c).

(e) TWX shall be entitled, and may instruct the Distribution Agent, to withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to Eligible Holders pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be withheld with respect to the making of such payments under applicable Tax Law. Any amounts withheld in accordance with this Section 3.02(e) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons otherwise entitled thereto.

(f) If all or a portion of the Distribution is effected as a Spin-Off, TWX shall not take or cause to be taken or omit to take any action that would be reasonably expected to result in a determination, pursuant to applicable Law, that, after and as a result of the Distribution, TWX (i) became insolvent at the Separation Date, (ii) was left with unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its business or (iii) incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, such that the Distribution may be deemed a fraudulent conveyance or impermissible dividend or distribution under applicable Law.

SECTION 3.04.Delivery of Shares of TWCable Capital Stock. (a) On the Separation Date, or prior thereto as contemplated by Section 3.01(e), TWX shall deliver to the Distribution Agent, for the benefit of Eligible Holders, certificates representing (or authorize the related book-entry transfer of) all shares of TWCable Capital Stock held by TWX as of the Separation Date (including shares received pursuant to the TWNY Exchange and the Recapitalization). Concurrently therewith, TWX shall deliver to the Distribution Agent irrevocable instructions to hold such shares of TWCable Capital Stock in accordance with Section 3.01(f) and this Section 3.04.

Promptly following the date of this Agreement, TWCable shall file the Information Statement with the SEC and, as soon as reasonably practicable after the SEC has cleared the Information Statement, TWCable shall mail the Information Statement to the holders of the TWCable Capital Stock.

SECTION 4.02.Financing. (a) The TWCable Parties shall use, and shall cause the members of the TWCable Group to use, best efforts (i) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to enter into definitive documentation for one or more credit facilities on the terms and conditions set forth in the Bridge Commitment Papers, or on other terms reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors of TWCable and reasonably satisfactory to TWX, in an aggregate amount of at least $9.0 billion (as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bridge Commitment Papers) (the “Special Dividend Financing Facility”), as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement and in any event prior to the payment of the Special Dividend and (ii) to deliver all necessary notices and to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to give effect to the borrowing under the Special Dividend Financing Facility. In the event that all or any portion of the Special Dividend Financing Facility becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Bridge Commitment Papers, TWCable shall promptly notify TWX and the TWCable Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any such unavailable portion from alternative sources (any such portion, the “Alternative Financing”), on terms and conditions no less favorable to the TWCable Parties than those set forth in the Bridge Commitment Papers that will still enable the TWCable Parties to consummate the Special Dividend Financing Facility contemplated by this Agreement, as soon as practicable following the occurrence of such event;provided,however, that, to the extent the terms and conditions of any such Alternative Financing differ from the terms and conditions in the Bridge Commitment Papers in any material respect (it being agreed that “material” shall be deemed to include mandatory prepayment terms), such terms and conditions shall be reasonably satisfactory to TWX.

(b) The TWCable Parties and the TWX Parties shall use, and shall cause the members of the TWCable Group and TWX Group, respectively, to use, reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to enter into definitive documentation for a credit facility on the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplemental Term Sheet (the “Supplemental Credit Facility” and the documentation therefor, the “Supplemental Credit Agreement”) and such other terms as may be satisfactory to each of TWX and TWCable prior to the declaration of the Special Dividend. In addition, the parties shall take the foregoing actions in a manner so that, to the extent practicable, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of the Supplemental Credit Agreement shall take place concurrently with, or as soon as practicable after, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of the definitive documentation for the Special Dividend Financing Facility.

SECTION 8.07.Limitations of Liability. Neither TWX nor TWCable shall have any Liability to each other in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement that is an estimate or forecast, or that is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the providing Person.

TWX or TWCable, as applicable, shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and other personnel) in connection therewith.

(c) The obligation of TWX and TWCable to make available former, current and future directors, officers, employees and other personnel and agents or provide witnesses and experts pursuant to this Section 8.08 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to make available employees and other officers without regard to whether such individual or the employer of such individual could assert a possible business conflict subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.08. Without limiting the foregoing,

each of TWX and TWCable agrees that neither it nor any Person or Persons in its respective Group will take any adverse action against any employee of its Group based on such employee’s provision of assistance or information to each other pursuant to Section 8.08.

(d) Upon the reasonable request of TWX or TWCable, in connection with any Action contemplated by this Article VIII, TWX and TWCable will enter into a mutually acceptable common interest agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of either Group.

ARTICLE IX

Matters Relating to Employees

SECTION 9.01.General. (a) Within 90 days following the date of this Agreement, TWX and TWCable shall mutually agree upon a list of employees, if any, of TWX or any Subsidiary of TWX who shall be offered employment by TWCable. Within 30 days following the date that such list is agreed upon, but not more than 120 days following the date of this Agreement, TWCable shall make an offer of employment to each employee on such list, effective as of 11:59 p.m. on the first business day immediately prior to the Separation Date (the “Transfer Time”);provided,however, that TWCable shall not be obligated to employ any such employee who is not actively performing services for any member of the TWX Group on such business day due to a leave of absence, and any offer of employment made to any such employee prior to the Transfer Time may be rescinded prior to the Transfer Time. In addition, at a time to be mutually agreed upon by TWX and TWCable, TWCable may offer employment, effective as of a date to be mutually agreed upon by TWX, TWCable and the applicable employee (provided that such date shall be at or prior to the date on which the Transfer Time occurs), to any other employees of TWX or any Subsidiary of TWX who are mutually agreed to by TWX and TWCable prior to the Transfer Time, and, with respect to such employees, references in this Article IX (other than this sentence) to “Transfer Time” shall be deemed to refer to such agreed-upon date;provided,however, that TWCable shall not be obligated to employ any such employee who is not actively performing services for any member of the TWX Group on such agreed-upon date due to a leave of absence, and any offer of employment made to any such employee prior to such agreed-upon date may be rescinded prior to such agreed-upon date. Each employee who is offered employment by TWCable pursuant to this Section 9.01 and who expressly accepts such offer and commences employment (other than any such employees whose offers of employment are rescinded pursuant to the proviso in the second sentence of this paragraph or the second proviso in the third sentence of this paragraph) is referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. The employment of each Transferred Employee with TWX or any Subsidiary of TWX shall be terminated, and each Transferred Employee shall become employed by TWCable, effective as of the Transfer Time. For a period of not less than two years following the Transfer Time, TWCable shall maintain or cause to be maintained for the benefit of each Transferred Employee base salary or hourly compensation, as applicable, and annual cash incentive opportunities and long-term incentive opportunities that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the base salary or hourly compensation, annual cash incentive opportunities and long-term incentive opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of TWCable and its Subsidiaries;provided,however, that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring TWCable to continue the employment of any specific person for any particular period of time after the Transfer Time. No member of the TWCable Group shall be responsible for any severance payments or benefits in respect of the termination of employment or constructive termination of employment of any employee of any member of the TWX Group in connection with the Separation;provided,however, that the applicable member of the TWCable Group shall be responsible for severance payments or benefits in respect

of the termination of employment or constructive termination of employment of any Transferred Employee by TWCable following the Transfer Time.

(b) As of the Transfer Time, each Transferred Employee shall cease active participation in all TWX Benefit Plans.

(c) The provisions of this Article IX relating to the provision of compensation and benefits to Transferred Employees shall not apply to any Transferred Employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, (A) if any member of the TWCable Group and any member of the TWX Group are both parties to any Benefit Agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement, then each such party shall continue to honor its respective obligations under such Benefit Agreement, (B) if, in the case of any TWCable Benefit Agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement, there are any specific compensation or benefit items provided for therein that (x) TWCable and TWX intend or expect to be provided by any member of the TWX Group or (y) the terms of such TWCable Benefit Agreement reflect an intent or expectation that any specific compensation or benefit item provided for therein be provided by any member of the TWX Group, then, in the case of clause (x) or (y), such member of the TWX Group shall honor its obligations with respect to such specific compensation or benefit items and (C) if, in the case of any TWX Benefit Agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement, (x) there are any specific compensation or benefit items provided for therein that TWCable and TWX intend or expect to be provided by any member of the TWCable Group or (y) the terms of such TWX Benefit Agreement reflect an intent or expectation that any specific compensation or benefit item provided for therein be provided by any member of the TWCable Group, then, in the case of clause (x) or (y), such member of the TWCable Group shall honor its obligations with respect to such specific compensation or benefit items.

SECTION 9.02.Annual Bonuses for Year of Separation. Following the end of the calendar year that includes the Transfer Time, TWX shall inform TWCable in writing of the bonus payable to each Transferred Employee under the applicable annual incentive plan or arrangement of TWX or any Subsidiary of TWX with respect to the portion of such calendar year ending at the Transfer Time. TWCable shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, pay each Transferred Employee such bonus promptly following the end of such calendar year. TWX shall promptly thereafter reimburse TWCable for the aggregate amount of such bonuses paid with respect to the portion of such calendar year ending at the Transfer Time.

SECTION 9.03.Service Credit. Service of Post-Separation TWCable Employees with any member of the TWCable Group or any other employer other than any member of the TWX Group from and after the Separation Date shall not be taken into account for any purpose under the TWX Benefit Plans, except for purposes of determining the timing of the payment of compensation or the provision of benefits under any TWX Benefit Plan to the extent that the timing of such payment or provision is triggered under such TWX Benefit Plan by a Post-Separation TWCable Employee’s separation from service from the TWCable Group. TWCable shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, credit service accrued by each Post-Separation TWCable Employee with, or otherwise recognized for benefit plan purposes by, TWX or any Subsidiary of TWX for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting under each TWCable Benefit Plan under which service is relevant in determining eligibility and vesting (including each TWCable Benefit Plan that provides retiree medical benefits, including the Access 55 Plan), (ii) determining the amount of severance payments and benefits payable under each TWCable Benefit Plan that provides severance payments or benefits and (iii) in the case of Transferred Employees, determining the number of vacation days to which each Transferred Employee will be entitled following the Transfer Time, in the case of clause (i), (ii) and (iii), (A) to the same extent recognized by TWX or the corresponding TWX Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Separation Date or Transfer Time, as applicable, and (B) except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

SECTION 9.04.Certain Welfare Benefit Plan Matters. (a) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.01(b), the Transferred Employees shall cease all participation in all TWX Benefit Plans that provide life insurance, health care, dental care, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, disability, severance, vacation or other group welfare or fringe benefits (“TWX Welfare Plans”) effective as of the Transfer Time. TWCable shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (i) for a period of not less than two years following the Transfer Time, provide benefits to all Transferred Employees that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by TWCable and its Affiliates to similarly situated employees under the TWCable Benefit Plans that provide life insurance, health care, dental care, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, disability, severance, vacation or other group welfare or fringe benefits (“TWCable Welfare Plans”), (ii) waive, or with respect to TWCable Welfare Plans insured through third-party insurance carriers, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurance carriers to waive, all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements with respect to eligibility, participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Transferred Employees and their dependents under the TWCable Welfare Plans to the extent satisfied or waived under the applicable corresponding TWX Welfare Plan immediately prior to the Transfer Time and (iii) provide or, with respect to TWCable Welfare Plans insured through third-party insurance carriers, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such insurance carriers to provide, each Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit under the TWCable Welfare Plans for any co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles paid under corresponding TWX Welfare Plans prior to the Transfer Time in the plan year in which the Transfer Time occurs for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any

TWCable Welfare Plans in which the Transferred Employees participate following the Transfer Time.

(b) Except as otherwise required under applicable Law, TWX shall be responsible in accordance with the applicable TWX Welfare Plans in effect prior to the Transfer Time for all claims incurred under such plans prior to the Transfer Time by Transferred Employees and their covered dependents and beneficiaries. Except as otherwise required under applicable Law, TWCable shall be responsible in accordance with the applicable TWCable Welfare Plans for all claims incurred from and after the Transfer Time by Transferred Employees and their covered dependents and beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided under applicable Law, for purposes of this Section 9.04(b), a claim shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) health, dental, vision, employee assistance program and prescription drug benefits (including in respect of any hospital confinement), upon provision of such services, materials or supplies, and (ii) life, disability, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, illness or accident giving rise to such benefits.

SECTION 9.05.Defined Benefit Pension Plans. Effective as of the Separation Date, each Post-Separation TWCable Employee who is a participant as of the Separation Date (or, in the case of a Transferred Employee, as of immediately prior to the Transfer Time) in one or more TWX Benefit Plans that are defined benefit pension plans, whether or not tax-qualified (each such plan, a “TWX Pension Plan”), including the TWX Excess Benefit Pension Plan, shall cease active participation in such TWX Pension Plans and, without limiting the generality of the first sentence of Section 9.03, service with any member of the TWCable Group or any other employer other than any member of the TWX Group from and after the Separation Date shall not be taken into account for any purpose under such TWX Pension Plans, except for purposes of determining the timing of the payment of compensation or the provision of benefits under any TWX Pension Plan to the extent that such payment or provision is triggered under such TWX Pension Plan by a Post-Separation TWCable Employee’s separation from service from the TWCable Group. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on and following the Separation Date, TWX or its applicable Subsidiaries shall retain, or shall cause the applicable TWX Pension Plans to retain, sponsorship of each TWX Pension Plan and all assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to each TWX Pension Plan, and shall make payments to Post-Separation TWCable Employees and former employees of any member of the TWCable Group with vested rights thereunder and their applicable beneficiaries, in accordance with the terms of the applicable TWX Pension Plans as in effect from time to time.

SECTION 9.06.U.S. Tax-Qualified Savings/401(k) Plan. Each Transferred Employee participating in the TWX Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (and the related trust exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code) (“TWX 401(k) Plan”) immediately prior to the Transfer Time shall become a participant in a TWCable Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (and a related trust exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the

Code) (“TWCable 401(k) Plan”) as of the Transfer Time. TWCable shall cause a TWCable 401(k) Plan to allow each Post-Separation TWCable Employee to make a “direct rollover” to such TWCable 401(k) Plan of the account balances of such Post-Separation TWCable Employee if such a rollover is elected in accordance with applicable Law by such Post-Separation TWCable Employee. TWX and TWCable shall cooperate with each other (and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, cause the trustees of the TWX 401(k) Plan and each TWCable 401(k) Plan to cooperate with each other) with respect to the rollover of the account balances to a TWCable 401(k) Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) TWX shall have no responsibility for any failure of TWCable to properly administer any TWCable 401(k) Plan in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, including without limitation any failure to properly administer the accounts of Post-Separation TWCable Employees and their beneficiaries who have effected a direct rollover of their account balances from the TWX 401(k) Plan to any TWCable 401(k) Plan, and TWCable shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the TWX Group from all costs, expenses or other damages that may result to any such members from any such failure and (ii) TWCable shall have no responsibility for any failure of TWX to properly administer any TWX 401(k) Plan in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, including any failure to properly administer the accounts of Post-Separation TWCable Employees and their beneficiaries in such TWX 401(k) Plan, and TWX shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the TWCable Group from all costs, expenses or other damages that may result to any such members from any such failure. TWX shall take all steps necessary, including amending the TWX 401(k) Plan, so that the Separation shall result in a severance from employment for Post-Separation TWCable Employees for purposes of the TWX 401(k) Plan.

SECTION 9.07.Vesting in Pension Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.03 of this Agreement, TWX shall take all steps necessary, including amending any TWX Benefit Plan, so that, as of the Separation Date, each Post-Separation TWCable Employee is fully vested in his or her benefits under each TWX Pension Plan and TWX 401(k) Plan in which such Post-Separation TWCable Employee participated while an employee of a member of the TWX Group. TWCable shall take all steps necessary, including amending any TWCable Benefit Plan, so that, as of the Separation Date, each employee of any member of the TWX Group is fully vested in his or her benefits under each TWCable Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan, whether or not tax-qualified, and each TWCable 401(k) Plan in which such employee participated while an employee of a member of the TWCable Group.

SECTION 9.08.Trust Separation. The Time Warner Inc. Master Pension Trust (the “Pension Trust”) shall be separated with respect to the assets of the Time Warner Pension Plan, on the one hand, and the assets of the Time Warner Cable Pension Plan and the Time Warner Cable Union Pension Plan, on the other hand. The Time Warner Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust (the “Defined Contribution Trust”) shall be separated with respect to the assets of the Time Warner Savings Plan and the assets of the TWC Savings Plan. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to complete such separation on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, no later than the Separation Date, taking into consideration the best interests of the plan participants as determined by the appropriate plan sponsor or fiduciary, including the appointment of separate trustees

and establishment of separate trust agreements. Upon separation of the Pension Trust, the assets allocated to the Time Warner Pension Plan, on the one hand, and the assets allocated to the Time Warner Cable Pension Plan and the Time Warner Cable Union Pension Plan, on the other hand, shall be transferred to separate trusts or funding arrangements established for such plans in accordance with the directions of the applicable plan sponsor or fiduciary. Upon separation of the Defined Contribution Trust, the assets allocated to the Time Warner Savings Plan and the TWC Savings Plan shall be transferred to separate trusts or funding arrangements established for such plans in accordance with the directions of the applicable plan sponsor or fiduciary.

SECTION 9.09.Deferred Compensation. (a) TWCable hereby acknowledges that each of the employees or former employees whose name is set forth on Schedule 9.09(a) has been granted deferred compensation (“Employee Deferred Compensation”) that has been deposited in one or more special accounts (the “Deferred Compensation Accounts”) maintained on the books of one or more TWE grantor trusts for such employee’s or former employee’s benefit, as described in such employee’s or former employee’s employment agreement. TWX hereby acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, no employee or former employee of any member of the TWCable Group or any member of the TWX Group, other than the individuals whose names are set forth on Schedule 9.09(a), has been granted Employee Deferred Compensation that has been deposited in Deferred Compensation Accounts maintained on the books of a TWE grantor trust. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to arrange for the transfer of the administration of such trusts to TWCable on commercially reasonable terms and conditions no later than the Separation Date, taking into consideration the best interests of the affected employees as determined by the appropriate plan sponsor or fiduciary.

(b) TWX shall retain, or cause any member of the TWX Group to retain, all assets and all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the TWX 2004 Deferred Compensation Plan, the TWX 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan, the TWX Excess Benefit Pension Plan and all other TWX Benefit Plans that provide for nonqualified deferred compensation, and all trusts relating to such TWX Benefit Plans, including any grantor or “rabbi trust”, and shall make payments to all participants in such plans who are Post-Separation TWCable Employees or former employees of any member of the TWCable Group and their respective beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan. TWCable shall retain, or cause any member of the TWCable Group to retain, all assets and all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the TWE Deferred Compensation Plan, the TWCable Excess Benefit Pension Plan and all other TWCable Benefit Plans that provide for nonqualified deferred compensation, and all trusts relating to such TWCable Benefit Plans, including any grantor or “rabbi trust”, and shall make payments to all participants in such plans who are current or former employees of any member of the TWX Group and their respective beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan.

(c) TWX and TWCable acknowledge that neither the Separation nor any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under the TWX 2004 Deferred Compensation Plan, the TWX 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan, the TWX Excess Benefit Pension Plan, the

TWX 1993 Deferred Compensation Plan or the TWX Excess Profit Sharing Plan (each, a “TWX Nonqualified Plan”) for any Post-Separation TWCable Employee and, consequently, that the payment or distribution of any compensation to which any Post-Separation TWCable Employee is entitled under any TWX Nonqualified Plan will occur upon such Post-Separation TWCable Employee’s separation from service from the TWCable Group or at such other time as provided in such TWX Nonqualified Plan or such TWCable Employee’s deferral election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if TWX and TWCable reasonably determine that the Separation or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under any TWX Nonqualified Plan for any Post-Separation TWCable Employee, TWX and TWCable shall cooperate in good faith so that neither the Separation nor any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will trigger any such payment or distribution;provided,however, that neither TWX nor TWCable shall be required to take any action to the extent that such action would cause any TWX Nonqualified Plan or payment thereunder to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, if requested by TWCable, TWX shall allow, or cause any member of the TWX Group to allow, each Post-Separation TWCable Employee to elect in 2008, but no later than the Separation Date, to change the time and/or form of each of such employee’s distributions under the TWX 2004 Deferred Compensation Plan and the TWX 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan, in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code. If requested by TWCable, and if such elections would be compliant with applicable Law, TWX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow, or cause any member of the TWX Group to allow, each Post-Separation TWCable Employee to elect in 2008, but no later than the Separation Date, to change the time and/or form of each of such employee’s distributions under the TWX Excess Benefit Pension Plan.

(d) TWX and TWCable shall cooperate in good faith so that the Separation will not result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code to any current or former employee of any member of the TWX Group or any member of the TWCable Group, or their respective beneficiaries, in respect of his or her benefits under any TWX Benefit Plan or TWCable Benefit Plan.

(e) TWX and TWCable shall cooperate in good faith so that each company owned life insurance policy that is an asset of the TWE Deferred Compensation Plan is held in the name of a member of the TWCable Group as of the Separation Date.

SECTION 9.10.Flexible Spending Accounts. TWCable shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, have in effect, as of the Transfer Time, flexible spending reimbursement accounts under a cafeteria plan qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (“TWCable Cafeteria Plan”) that provide benefits to each Transferred Employee that are substantially comparable to those provided to such Transferred Employee under the flexible spending reimbursement accounts under the cafeteria plan in which such Transferred Employee participates immediately prior to the Transfer Time (as applicable, “TWX Cafeteria Plan”). TWCable shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, cause the TWCable Cafeteria Plan to accept, effective as of the Transfer Time, a spin-off of the flexible spending reimbursement accounts of Transferred Employees from the TWX Cafeteria Plan and to honor and continue through the end of the plan year in which the

Transfer Time occurs the elections made by each Transferred Employee under the TWX Cafeteria Plan for the plan year in which the Transfer Time occurs. As soon as practicable, but no later than 45 days, following the Transfer Time, TWX shall cause to be transferred from the TWX Cafeteria Plan to the TWCable Cafeteria Plan the excess, if any, of the aggregate accumulated contributions to the flexible spending reimbursement accounts made prior to the Transfer Time during the plan year in which the Transfer Time occurs by Transferred Employees under the TWX Cafeteria Plan over the aggregate reimbursement payouts made to the Transferred Employees prior to the Transfer Time for such plan year from such accounts. If the aggregate reimbursement payouts made to Transferred Employees prior to the Transfer Time from the flexible spending reimbursement accounts during the plan year in which the Transfer Time occurs exceed the aggregate accumulated contributions to such accounts made by the Transferred Employees prior to the Transfer Time for such plan year, TWCable shall cause such excess to be transferred to TWX as soon as practicable, but no later than 45 days, following the Transfer Time. Notwithstanding Section 9.04(b) above, on and after the Transfer Time, TWCable or its Affiliates shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims by Transferred Employees under the TWX Cafeteria Plan that were incurred in the year in which the Transfer Time occurs, whether incurred prior to, on or after the Transfer Time, that have not been paid in full as of the Transfer Time. On or before the Transfer Time, TWCable shall provide TWX with documentation evidencing the proper amendment to the TWCable Cafeteria Plan to reflect the provisions of this Section 9.10.

SECTION 9.11.Transportation Reimbursement Accounts. As soon as practicable following the Transfer Time, TWX shall cause the account balances of Transferred Employees under the TWX Transportation Reimbursement Account (“TRA”) Plan to be transferred to the TWCable TRA Plan. Any claims of Transferred Employees incurred prior to the date of transfer of such account balances and not paid as of such date shall be paid by the TWCable TRA Plan.

SECTION 9.12.Vacation. Promptly following the Transfer Time, TWX shall make a cash payment to each Transferred Employee for any vacation or annual leave days accrued or earned for the year in which the Transfer Time occurs, but not yet used by such Transferred Employee as of the Transfer Time. TWCable shall not assume any Liability for such vacation or annual leave days.

SECTION 9.13.TWX Equity Awards. On and following the Separation Date, each outstanding share of TWX Common Stock that is subject to restrictions based on performance or continuing service, option to purchase TWX Common Stock and performance stock unit and restricted stock unit payable in shares of TWX Common Stock or the value of which is determined by reference to the value of shares of TWX Common Stock, in each case that was granted under or pursuant to any equity compensation plan of TWX (each such share, option, performance stock unit or restricted stock unit, a “TWX Equity Compensation Award”), that, immediately prior to the Separation Date, is held by any Post-Separation TWCable Employee or former employee of any member of the TWCable Group shall be treated as provided in the equity compensation plan under which such TWX Equity Compensation Award was granted, the award agreement governing such TWX Equity Compensation Award and any

employment agreement to which such Post-Separation TWCable Employee or former employee is a party as in effect on the date of this Agreement;provided,however, that any such TWX Equity Compensation Award that is not forfeited by its holder as a result of the Separation shall be adjusted to reflect the Separation in the same manner, if any, as similar TWX Equity Compensation Awards held by employees of the TWX Group immediately prior to the Separation (other than Transferred Employees) are adjusted, as determined in the sole discretion of TWX;provided further,however, that TWX may amend any such TWX Equity Compensation Award in any manner that TWX determines is necessary in order to avoid additional Taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code. TWX hereby acknowledges that each Post-Separation TWCable Employee who, on the Separation Date, meets the eligibility requirements for retirement treatment in the event of a voluntary termination of employment with respect to any TWX Equity Compensation Award held by such Post-Separation TWCable Employee on the Separation Date, as determined under the applicable equity compensation plan or award agreement, will, in connection with the Separation, receive the benefit of any provisions of such equity compensation plan or award agreement that provide for accelerated vesting of such TWX Equity Compensation Award or an extended time period to exercise any such TWX Equity Compensation Award that is a vested stock option in connection with a termination of employment due to retirement.

SECTION 9.14.Employer Rights. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any member of the TWX Group or any member of the TWCable Group from amending, modifying or terminating any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement at any time within its sole discretion, and this Agreement is not intended to create or amend any Benefit Plan.

SECTION 9.15.No Rights Conferred on Employees. Nothing herein expressed or implied shall confer upon any current or former employees of TWX or TWCable, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of the Agreement, including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period.

SECTION 9.16.Miscellaneous. (a) Following the date of this Agreement, TWX and TWCable shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to any employee compensation or benefits matters that the parties reasonably agree require the cooperation of both parties and that are not the subject of a specific agreement in any other provision of this Article IX.

(b) Prior to the Separation Date, TWX and TWCable shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) negotiate with the current third-party providers to separate and assign the applicable rights and obligations under each group insurance policy, health maintenance organization, administrative services contract, third-party administrator agreement, letter of understanding or arrangement that pertains to one or more TWX Welfare Plans and one or more TWCable Welfare Plans (each, a “Vendor Contract”) to the extent that such rights or obligations pertain to Post-Separation TWCable Employees, (ii) obtain and maintain pricing discounts or other preferential

terms under the Vendor Contracts and (iii) maintain the premium and administrative rates under the Vendor Contracts in effect immediately prior to the Separation Date based on the aggregate number of participants in the TWX Welfare Plans and TWCable Welfare Plans. At TWCable’s reasonable request, TWCable and TWX shall use commercially reasonable efforts so that the TWCable Group may participate in the terms and conditions of such Vendor Contracts until a date that is not later than December 31, 2009. Prior to the Separation Date, TWX and TWCable shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with applicable consultants, plan auditors, investment advisors, legal advisors and other third-party providers of services to TWX in connection with the Benefit Plans to maintain pricing discounts or other preferential terms in effect as of immediately prior to the Separation Date.

(c) TWCable hereby acknowledges that TWX has provided administration services for certain TWCable Benefit Plans, including the TWE Deferred Compensation Plan, the TWCable Excess Benefit Pension Plan and the Deferred Compensation Accounts, and TWCable agrees to assume responsibility for the administration and administration costs of such plans. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to complete such transfer of responsibility on commercially reasonable terms and conditions effective no later than the Separation Date.

ARTICLE X

Other Matters

SECTION 10.01.Tax Matters. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Tax Matters Agreement) shall not govern indemnification for, or other matters relating to, Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement.

SECTION 10.02.Insurance. (a) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations of the parties pursuant to Section 10.02(b), TWX and TWCable acknowledge that, as of the Separation Date, TWX intends to take such action as it may deem necessary or desirable to remove the members of the TWCable Group and their respective employees, officers and directors as insured parties under any policy of insurance issued to any member of the TWX Group by any insurance carrier in respect of periods following the Separation Date, and to cancel or transfer, effective as of the Separation Date, any surety bond issued by any member of the TWX Group on behalf of TWCable, and that the TWCable Group will not be entitled, absent mutual agreement otherwise, to make any claims for insurance thereunder either to the extent such claims are based upon conduct or injury or other events occurring following the Separation Date or to the extent such claims are precluded by the terms of any such policies. No member of the TWX Group shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the availability of any coverage under any such insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TWX shall, and shall cause the other members of the TWX Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to cause all “occurrence-based” insurance policies of the TWX Group that immediately prior to the Separation provide coverage to or with respect to the TWCable Business to continue to

provide such coverage with respect to acts, omissions, and events occurring prior to the Separation in accordance with their terms as if the Separation had not occurred.

(b) From and after the Separation Date, the members of each of the TWX Group and the TWCable Group shall have the right to assert Pre-Separation Occurrence Based Insurance Claims and to resolve such existing and pending Pre-Separation Insurance Claims under the applicable TWX insurance policies up to the full extent of the applicable and available limits of Liability of such policy.

(c) With respect to Pre-Separation Occurrence Based Insurance Claims, whether or not known or reported prior to the Separation Date, TWCable shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the TWCable Group to, report such claims arising from the TWCable Business directly to the applicable insurer and TWCable shall, or shall cause the applicable member of TWCable Group to, individually, and not jointly, assume and be responsible for the reimbursement Liability (i.e., deductible or retention) related to its portion of the Liability and/or any retrospective premium charges associated with the claim so submitted by it, unless otherwise agreed in writing by TWX. TWX shall, and shall cause each member of the TWX Group to, cooperate and assist the applicable member of the TWCable Group with respect to such claims and TWX and TWCable shall, and shall cause the member of their respective Groups to, take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the insurers to agree that such Liability shall be the individual Liability of the applicable member of the TWCable Group, which shall include arranging for the applicable member of the TWCable Group to post any such collateral in respect of the reimbursement obligations as may reasonably be requested by the insurers. If any insurer does not agree that such Liabilities are the individual Liability of the applicable member of the TWCable Group, the applicable member of the TWCable Group shall continue to reimburse TWX for all such Liability costs in the same manner as prior to the Separation Date.

(d) TWX shall not be liable to TWCable for claims, or portions of claims, not reimbursed by insurers under any policy for any reason, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of any insurance carrier(s), policy limitations or restrictions (including exhaustion of limits), any coverage disputes, any failure to timely file a claim by any member of the TWX Group or any member of the TWCable Group, or any defect in such claim or its processing. In the event that insurable claims of both TWX and TWCable (or the members of their respective Groups) exist relating to the same occurrence, the Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest necessary to the conduct of the joint defense and shall not settle or compromise any such claim without the consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policy). Nothing in this Section 10.02 shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created by this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise.

(e) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to the various insurance matters contemplated by this Section 10.02.

SECTION 10.03.No Representations or Warranties. EACH PARTY, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND, IN THE CASE OF EITHER TWX OR TWCABLE, ALL MEMBERS OF ITS RESPECTIVE GROUP, UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, (A) NO MEMBER OF THE TWX GROUP, THE TWCABLE GROUP OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO ANY PARTY OR ANY MEMBER OF ANY GROUP IN ANY WAY WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE BUSINESS ASSETS, CONDITION OR PROSPECTS (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR ANY OTHER MATTER INVOLVING, ANY ASSETS OF TWCABLE OR TWX, ANY LIABILITIES OF TWCABLE OR TWX, THE TWCABLE BUSINESS OR THE TWX BUSINESS; AND (B) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NONE OF TWX, TWCABLE, ANY MEMBER OF THE TWX GROUP OR THE TWCABLE GROUP OR ANY OTHER PERSON MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE SEPARATION, THE ENTERING INTO OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

ARTICLE XI

(b) Prior to the Special Dividend Payment Date, each of the TWX Parties and the TWCable Parties shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time if there shall have been a Material Adverse Effect on TWCable, subject to providing the other party with written notice of their intent to terminate;provided,however, that the notice period shall be the shorter of (i) 30 days or (ii) the time remaining between the determination of the occurrence of the Material Adverse Effect on TWCable and the Special Dividend Declaration Date or, if the Special Dividend Declaration Date has already occurred, the Special Dividend Payment Date.

(c) After the TWNY Exchange, each of TWX and TWCable shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if there shall have been issued a permanent injunction or other similar Government Order preventing the consummation of the Separation and such injunction or Government Order shall have become final and not subject to appeal or other review.

(d) If the TWNY Exchange shall not have occurred by March 31, 2009, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated.

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written agreement signed by each of the Parties hereto and, in the case of TWCable, following approval by the Special Committee.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

SECTION 12.03.Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement and any of the Ancillary Agreements shall be in writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt by the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice):

SECTION 12.09.Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the Parties or any third party as creating a relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the Parties, it being understood
