Exhibit 10.1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made as of July 25, 2013 (the “Effective
Date”), between TIME WARNER CABLE INC. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation,
and ROBERT D. MARCUS (“you” or “your”). This Agreement supersedes your
employment agreement with the Company that was made as of May 31, 2011 (the
“Prior Agreement”) and that superseded your employment agreement with the
Company that was effective January 1, 2010 (the “Original Effective Date”).

You and the Company desire to set forth the terms and conditions of your
employment by the Company and agree as follows:

1. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period
beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2016 (the “Term”),
subject, however, to earlier termination as set forth in this Agreement.

2. Employment. During the Term, (a) (i) from the Effective Date until the CEO
Commencement Date (as defined below) (the “Initial Period”), you will continue
to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and you shall
have the authority, functions, duties, powers and responsibilities normally
associated with such position (including, without limitation, the authority,
functions, duties, powers and responsibilities you hold as of the date hereof),
and such other title, authority, functions, duties, powers and responsibilities
as may be assigned to you from time to time by the Company consistent with your
senior position with the Company, and (ii) effective January 1, 2014 or such
earlier time as Glenn A. Britt, the current CEO of the Company (in his capacity
as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the “Current CEO”) ceases for any
reason to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO Commencement
Date”), you shall cease serving as President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company and instead, shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
you shall have the authority, functions, duties, powers and responsibilities
normally associated with such position, and such other title, authority,
functions, duties, powers and responsibilities as may be assigned to you from
time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) consistent
with your position with the Company; (b) your services shall be rendered on a
substantially full-time, exclusive basis and you will apply on a substantially
full-time basis all of your skill and experience to the performance of your
duties; (c) you shall report (i) during the Initial Period, solely to Current
CEO or the Board and (ii) effective from and after the CEO Commencement Date,
only to the Board; (d) you shall have no other employment and, without the prior
written consent of the Current CEO during the Initial Period, and the Board
thereafter, no outside business activities which require the devotion of
substantial amounts of your time; (e) you shall adhere to the Company’s policies
in effect during your employment, including its

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Standards of Business Conduct, Insider Trading Policy, and the stock ownership
or retention guidelines adopted by the Company, if any; and (f) the place for
the performance of your services shall be at the Company’s principal corporate
offices, and such principal corporate offices shall be in the New York City
metropolitan area, subject to such reasonable travel as may be required in the
performance of your duties. As of the date of this Agreement, you have been
appointed to the Board and during the Term, the Company shall take such
reasonable action as may be necessary to nominate you annually for re-election
to the Board. You agree to serve without additional compensation as an officer
and director of any of the Company’s subsidiaries. For purposes of this
Section 2, “Company” shall mean either Time Warner Cable Inc. or, if Time Warner
Cable Inc. becomes a controlled subsidiary of another entity, then the ultimate
parent company of Time Warner Cable Inc. The foregoing shall be subject to the
Company’s written policies, as in effect from time to time, regarding vacations,
holidays, illness and the like.

3. Compensation.

3.1. Base Salary. During the Initial Period, the Company shall continue to pay
you an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) at the rate of not less than
$1,000,000 per annum; provided, however, effective as of the CEO Commencement
Date, your Base Salary shall be automatically increased to $1,500,000 per annum.
The Company may increase, but not decrease, your Base Salary during the Term.
Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll
practices.

3.2. Bonus. In addition to Base Salary, the Company typically pays its
executives an annual cash bonus (“Bonus”). During the portion of the Term until
the CEO Commencement Date, your target annual Bonus (“Target Bonus”) will be
$3,000,000; provided, however, that from and after the CEO Commencement Date,
your Target Bonus will be $5,000,000, or such other higher amount as approved
each year by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation
Committee”), pro-rated with respect to partial years in accordance with the
Company’s standard pro-ration methodology. Each year, the Company’s performance
and your personal performance (if applicable) will be considered in the context
of your executive duties and any individual goals set for you, and your actual
Bonus will be determined. Although as a general matter the Company expects to
pay bonuses at the target level in cases of satisfactory performance, it does
not commit to do so. Your Bonus is performance-based and may be higher or lower
than your Target Bonus. Your Bonus amount, if any, will be paid to you between
January 1 and March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the
performance year in respect of which such Bonus is earned at the same time as
bonuses are paid to other senior executives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.3. Long-term Incentive Compensation. Commencing in 2014 and for each year of
the Term thereafter, the Company shall provide you with long-term incentive
compensation with a target grant date value of at least approximately $7,500,000
(based on the valuation method used by the Company for its senior executives for
compensation grant purposes) through a mix of stock options, restricted stock,
restricted stock units (“RSUs”), other forms of equity compensation, cash-based
long-term plans or other components as may be determined by the Compensation
Committee from time to time in its sole discretion (the “Long-term Incentive
Awards”), subject to the terms of any Company plans governing the granting of
Long-term Incentive Awards, and the terms of any related award agreements in
accordance with the Company’s customary practices. Such awards shall have the
same general vesting and other terms as then provided to other named executive
officers of the Company.

3.4. Special Incentive Award. Simultaneous with the grant of annual Long-term
Incentive Awards to senior executives for 2014 (expected to occur on or around
February 12, 2014), subject to your continued employment with the Company
through the date of grant, the Board or the Committee shall award you a special
incentive award having an aggregate grant date value of approximately $2,000,000
(based on the valuation method used by the Company for its senior executives for
compensation grant purposes) (the “Special Incentive Awards”), as determined
pursuant to the Company’s customary valuation methods for grants of incentive
awards. The Special Incentive Awards will be subject to the general terms of the
Company plans under which the awards are granted, and have terms comparable to
the terms of any related award agreements in accordance with the Company’s
customary practices for senior executives, in each case, consisting of a
comparable mix of awards as, and having the same general vesting and other terms
as provided under, your 2014 annual Long-term Incentive Award grants (including
both the applicable performance conditions and the applicable proportion of such
grants subject to such performance conditions). The Special Incentive Awards
shall be considered as Long-term Incentive Awards for purposes of this
Agreement.

3.5. Additional Compensation Plans. In addition to the above compensation, and
at the Company’s discretion, you will be eligible to participate in other
compensation plans and programs available to the most senior executives of the
Company (“Additional Compensation Plans”). The Company shall maintain full
discretion to amend, modify or terminate such Additional Compensation Plans, and
full discretion over the decision to award you compensation under such
Additional Compensation Plans and the amount of such an award, if any.

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.6. Indemnification. You shall be entitled throughout the Term in your capacity
as an officer or director of the Company or any of its sub-divisions or a member
of a governing body of any partnership or joint venture in which the Company has
an equity interest (and after the end of the Term, to the extent relating to
service during your employment) to the benefit of the indemnification provisions
contained on the Original Effective Date in the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws of Time Warner Cable Inc. (not including any
amendments or additions after the Original Effective Date that limit or narrow,
but including any that add to or broaden, the protection afforded to you by
those provisions).

4. Termination.

4.1. Termination for Cause; Voluntary Resignation. The Company may terminate
your employment for “cause” and you may voluntarily resign your employment prior
to the expiration of the Term as provided for below. Upon the termination of
your employment for cause or your voluntary resignation, all of the obligations
under this Agreement shall terminate, other than the Company’s obligations set
forth below in Section 4.1.2 and the provisions identified in Section 10.13
(Survival). You recognize and agree that by virtue of your position and service
with the Company you have had and will have access to confidential and sensitive
business and proprietary information and valued client and other business
relationships and that as a result it is reasonable and necessary to provide for
a smooth transition in the event you chose to resign or retire. Consequently, in
the event of your resignation or retirement before the Term Date you agree to
provide the Company with sixty (60) days prior written notice of your intent to
terminate your employment after the expiration of such sixty (60) day period
(the “Notice Period”); provided, that during the Notice Period, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, accelerate your date of termination due to your
voluntary resignation to an earlier date than the date provided in such written
notice (it being understood that such an acceleration shall not be deemed to
constitute an involuntary termination of your employment by the Company without
“cause”).

4.1.1. Definition of Cause. Termination by the Company for “cause” shall mean
termination because of your (a) conviction (treating a nolo contendere plea as a
conviction) of a felony (whether or not any right to appeal has been or may be
exercised) other than as a result of a moving violation or a Limited Vicarious
Liability (as defined below); (b) willful failure or refusal without proper
cause to perform your material duties with the Company, including your material
obligations under this Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from
your incapacity due to physical or mental impairment); (c) willful
misappropriation, embezzlement, fraud or any reckless or willful destruction of
Company property having a significant adverse financial effect on the Company or
a significant adverse effect on the Company’s reputation; (d) willful and
material breach of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company
having a significant adverse financial effect on the Company or a significant
adverse effect on the Company’s reputation; (e) intentional and improper conduct
materially prejudicial to the business of the Company or any of its affiliates;
(f) material and

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

willful breach of any of the restrictive covenants provided for in Section 8
(Restrictive Covenants) below; or (g) a willful violation of any material
Company policy, including the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct, having a
significant adverse financial effect on the Company or a significant adverse
effect on the Company’s reputation. Such termination shall be effected by
written notice thereof delivered by the Company to you and shall be effective as
of the date of such notice; provided however, that if (i) such termination is
because of your willful failure or refusal without proper cause to perform your
material duties with the Company including any one or more of your material
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) such notice is the first such notice of
termination for any reason delivered by the Company to you under this
Section 4.1.1, and (iii) within 15 days following the date of such notice you
shall cease your refusal and shall use your best efforts to perform such
obligations, the termination shall not be effective. The term “Limited Vicarious
Liability” shall mean any liability which is based on acts of the Company for
which you are responsible solely as a result of your office(s) with the Company;
provided that (x) you are not directly involved in such acts and either had no
prior knowledge of such actions or, upon obtaining such knowledge, promptly
acted reasonably and in good faith to attempt to prevent the acts causing such
liability or (y) after consulting with the Company’s counsel, you reasonably
believed that no law was being violated by such acts.

4.1.2. Obligations Upon Termination For Cause or Voluntary Resignation. In the
event of your termination of employment by the Company for cause or your
voluntary resignation, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that
the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall have no further
obligation to you other than (i) to pay Base Salary through the effective date
of termination, (ii) with respect to any rights you have pursuant to any
insurance or other benefit or incentive plans or arrangements of the Company
(but only to the extent not expressly addressed in this Agreement), (iii) with
respect to any rights to indemnification that you may have under Section 3.6
above or under any other written plan or arrangement of the Company, and (iv) if
your employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1.1(b) or 4.1.1(g) above,
the Company shall pay you any Bonus for any year prior to the year in which such
termination of employment occurs that has been determined but not yet paid as of
the date of such termination of employment. You hereby disclaim any right to
receive a pro rata portion of any Bonus with respect to the year in which such
termination or resignation occurs. Payments of Base Salary or Bonus required
under this Section shall be made at the same time as such payments would
otherwise have been made to you pursuant to Sections 3.1 (Base Salary) or 3.2
(Bonus), as the case may be, if your employment had not been terminated.

4.2. Termination by You for Good Reason and Termination by the Company Without
Cause. Unless previously terminated pursuant to any other provision of this
Agreement, you shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the
Company, to terminate your employment for “Good Reason” effective 30 days after
the giving of such notice, if, at the

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

time of the giving of such notice, the Company is in material breach of its
obligations under this Agreement without your express written consent; provided
however, that with the exception of clause (i) below, this Agreement shall not
so terminate if such notice is the first such notice of termination delivered by
you pursuant to this Section 4.2 and within such 30-day period the Company shall
have cured all such material breaches. Any such notice of termination for Good
Reason must be provided to the Company within 90 days of any material breach of
the Agreement. A material breach by the Company shall include, but not be
limited to, (i) the Company’s violation of Sections 2(a), (c) or (f) with
respect to your title, authority, functions, powers, duties, responsibilities,
reporting lines (whether during the Initial Period or thereafter) or place of
employment, (ii) the Company failing to cause any successor to all or
substantially all of the business and assets of the Company expressly to assume
the obligations of the Company under this Agreement as provided by Section 10.4
(Assignability), (iii) the failure of the Company to nominate you for
re-election to the Board or your otherwise ceasing to be a member of the Board
other than in connection with your removal as a Director for cause under the
Company’s by-laws, or (iv) on or after the CEO Commencement Date, the failure to
elect you Chairman of the Company or your otherwise ceasing to be the Chairman
of the Company other than in connection with your removal as a Director for
cause under the Company’s by-laws; provided that it shall not be a material
breach of this Agreement if you may no longer serve as Chairman of the Company
as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or stock exchange
listing requirements (to the extent your continued role as Chairman does not
otherwise qualify for “grandfather” treatment under such law, regulation or
requirements), so long as you continue to serve as a Director and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. In addition, in the event that the assets of
the Company are directly or indirectly combined (whether by merger, sale of
assets or stock, joint venture or otherwise) with the assets of another entity,
whether or not the Company (as it was constituted prior to the event) has
control over the combined entity, the Company shall be in material breach of its
obligations under this Agreement if, at such time, you are employed as Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and you are not offered the position of Chief
Executive Officer of the ultimate parent of such combined company. The Company
shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to you, to terminate your
employment under this Agreement without cause, which notice shall specify the
effective date of such termination.

4.2.1. Termination Benefits. After the effective date of a termination of
employment without cause or for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 4.2, you
shall receive Base Salary and a pro rata portion of your Bonus through the
effective date of termination, subject to the actual achievement of the
performance criteria established under the applicable bonus plan for the year of
termination (and subject to the exercise by the Board’s Compensation Committee
of its negative discretion in a manner comparable to the treatment of other
named executive officers); provided that, any criteria based on individual
performance shall be deemed satisfied to the same extent as the performance
criteria based on Company

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

performance, or, if multiple performance criteria are used, the weighted average
of such performance criteria, as determined by the Company. Your pro rata Bonus
pursuant to this Section 4.2.1 shall be paid to you at the times set forth in
Section 4.5 (Payments). You shall also be entitled to any accrued, but unpaid
Bonus for any year prior to the year of termination, which has been determined
pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement which, if not determined, shall be
subject to the actual achievement of the performance criteria established under
the applicable bonus plan for such prior year (and subject to the exercise of
the Board’s Compensation Committee of its negative discretion in a manner
comparable to the treatment of other named executive officers); provided that,
any criteria based on individual performance shall be deemed satisfied to the
same extent as the performance criteria based on Company performance, or, if
multiple performance criteria are used, the weighted average of such performance
criteria, as determined by the Company.

4.2.2. Severance Benefits. After the effective date of a termination of
employment without cause or for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.2, you shall
continue to receive Base Salary and Bonus compensation as specified in this
Section 4.2.2 and the post-termination benefits specified in Section 7.3, in
each case, for the period commencing on the date of termination of your
employment and ending on the date which is 24 months after the effective date of
such termination (the “Severance Period”). During the Severance Period you shall
be entitled to receive, whether or not you become disabled during the Severance
Period, severance payments in an amount determined as follows: (i) Base Salary
at an annual rate equal to your Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the
notice of termination (but in no event less than at an annual rate of
$1,500,000), and (ii) an annual Bonus in respect of each calendar year or
portion thereof (in which case a pro rata portion of such Bonus will be payable)
during the Severance Period equal to your Target Bonus in effect immediately
prior to the notice of termination (but in no event less than the Target Bonus
as of the CEO Commencement Date); provided, that the amounts payable to you
pursuant to this sub-clause (ii) shall be separate from (and not reduced by) the
pro rata bonus for the year in which such termination occurs, as provided for in
Section 4.2.1 above. Payments made pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 shall be paid
to you at the times set forth in Section 4.5 (Payments). Effective as of the
date of your termination of employment pursuant to Section 4.2, any outstanding
Long-term Incentive Awards granted on or after the Original Effective Date and
before the expiration of the Term shall immediately vest in full and any stock
option awards granted during such period shall become immediately exercisable
for the time periods set forth in the respective stock option award agreements,
provided that, if any such Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options are
subject to a performance requirement that has not been satisfied and certified
by the Board of Directors on the date of your termination of employment, such
Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options shall not be immediately vested and
exercisable, but shall become fully vested and exercisable upon satisfaction of
such performance requirement and certification by the Board of

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directors subject to the exercise of the Board’s Compensation Committee of its
negative discretion in a manner comparable to the treatment of other named
executive officers; provided that, any criteria based on individual performance
shall be deemed satisfied to the same extent as the performance criteria based
on Company performance, or, if multiple performance criteria are used, the
weighted average of such performance criteria, as determined by the Company (or,
if applicable, upon deemed satisfaction of such performance requirements
pursuant to the terms of the Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options).

4.2.2.1. Other Full-Time Employment or Death During the Severance Period. Except
as provided in the following sentence, if you accept other full-time employment,
excluding employment with an affiliate (“Other Employment”) during the Severance
Period or notify the Company in writing of your intention to terminate your
post-termination benefits under Section 7.3, effective upon the commencement of
such Other Employment or the effective date of such termination as specified by
you in such notice, whichever is applicable, the continuation of the
post-termination health and welfare benefits specified in Section 7.3 shall
terminate, but you shall continue to receive the remaining payments you would
have received pursuant to Section 4.2.2 at the times specified therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you accept employment with any not-for-profit
organization, as defined by Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 501(c), then
you shall be entitled to continue to receive the post-termination health and
welfare benefits specified in Section 7.3 and the payments as provided in the
first sentence of Section 4.2.2. Furthermore, if you accept employment with any
affiliate of the Company or die during the Severance Period, then the payments
provided for in Section 4.2.2 shall immediately cease and you (or your estate or
designated beneficiary(ies)) shall not be entitled to any further payments;
provided that, you shall be entitled to a pro-rated portion of the annual Bonus
amount payable under Section 4.2.2(ii) for the year in which your employment by
the affiliate commences or the year of your death, as applicable, equal to your
Target Bonus in effect immediately prior to the notice of termination of your
employment (but in no event less than the Target Bonus as of the CEO
Commencement Date) pro-rated based on the number of whole months and days in any
partial months in such calendar year prior to the date that your employment by
the affiliate commences or the date of your death, as the case may be, as
determined by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “affiliate”
shall mean any entity which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by,
or is under common control with, the Company. For purposes of enforcing the
terms of this Section 4.2.2.1, you acknowledge and agree that you will provide
the Company with written notice of your intent to accept Other Employment, other
part-time employment, other employment by a not-for-profit entity, or employment
by an affiliate, including, the identity of the entity or person you intend to
be employed by, the anticipated start date of your employment and a contact at
such entity who can verify your employment terms. Any income from any Other
Employment you may obtain shall not be applied to reduce the Company’s
obligations under this Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.2.3. Termination of Employment Upon Change In Control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if your employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof
(a) within 24 months following a Change In Control (as defined in the Time
Warner Cable 2011 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor plan) or (b) following
the Company’s execution of an applicable merger, acquisition, sale or other
agreement providing for a Change In Control (a “CIC Agreement”) but before the
date that is 24 months after a Change In Control (or, if earlier, before the
expiration or termination of the CIC Agreement without a Change In Control), you
shall (i) receive the pro rata bonus (if any) provided for in Section 4.2.1 and
the severance benefits provided in Section 4.2.2, provided that, for purposes of
this sub-clause (i) and sub-clause (ii) of this Section only, your Severance
Period under such circumstances shall be 36 months rather than 24 months, and
(ii) receive the post-termination benefits provided in Section 7.3. Any
employment terminations for “cause” pursuant to Sections 4.1.1(b) or 4.1.1(g)
above within 24 months following a Change In Control shall be deemed
terminations without cause for purposes of severance benefits (as provided in
sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above) and treatment of the Company’s (or any
successor’s) outstanding equity awards or other Long-term Incentive Awards that
are outstanding as of the employment termination date.

4.3. Expiration of Term. If at the expiration of the Term, your employment shall
not have been previously terminated pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, no Disability Period is then in effect and the parties shall not have
agreed in a signed writing to an extension or renewal of this Agreement or on
the terms of a new employment agreement, then this Agreement shall expire and
your employment shall continue on an at-will basis. As an at-will employee, upon
the termination of your employment by the Company without cause (as defined in
Section 4.1.) or by you for Good Reason (as defined in Section 4.2), you shall
be entitled to (a) Base Salary through the effective date of the termination of
your employment, (b) if not previously paid, any Bonus compensation for the last
calendar year of the Term, subject to actual achievement of the performance
criteria established under the applicable Bonus plan for such year, provided
that, if applicable, any criteria based on individual performance shall be
deemed satisfied to the same extent as the performance criteria based on Company
performance or, if multiple performance criteria are used, the weighted average
of such performance criteria, as determined by the Company, for the last year of
the Term (and subject to the exercise by the Board’s Compensation Committee of
its negative discretion in a manner comparable to the treatment of other named
executive officers), (c) your rights to indemnification under Section 3.6 and
any other written agreement or arrangement of the Company, (d) rights you have
pursuant to any insurance, benefit or incentive plans or arrangements (but only
to the extent not otherwise addressed in this Agreement), (e) a minimum

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

severance benefit equal to twelve (12) months’ Base Salary and Target Bonus,
subject to your execution and delivery of a full release to the Company
substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, (f) immediate vesting in
full of any outstanding equity awards or other Long-term Incentive Awards
granted on or after the Original Effective Date and before the expiration of the
Term and any stock option awards granted during such period shall become
immediately exercisable for the time periods set forth in the respective stock
option award agreements, and (g) any equity awards granted before the Original
Effective Date shall continue to vest for a period that is equal to 24 months
after the date of your termination of employment without cause or for Good
Reason (consistent with the pro-rata vesting terms set forth in Section 7.3(e)
below); provided that, any stock option awards that are scheduled to vest on or
before the end of such 24-month period shall vest upon the earlier of (i) the
original vesting date of the stock option award, (ii) your commencement of Other
Employment, and (iii) the end of such 24-month period; provided further that,
vested stock options shall remain exercisable until a date that is three years
after the earlier of (x) your commencement of Other Employment and (y) the end
of such 24-month period, but not beyond the term of such options; provided
further that, if any Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options granted on or
after the Original Effective Date and before the expiration of the Term are
subject to a performance requirement that has not been satisfied and certified
by the Board of Directors on the date of your termination of employment, such
Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options shall not be immediately vested and
exercisable, but shall become fully vested and exercisable upon satisfaction of
such performance requirement and certification by the Board of Directors (or, if
applicable, upon deemed satisfaction of such performance requirements pursuant
to the terms of the Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options), subject to the
exercise of the Board’s Compensation Committee of its negative discretion in a
manner comparable to the treatment of other named executive officers.

4.4. Release. A condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to continue to
make the payments associated with a termination of employment pursuant to
Sections 4.2 (Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason), 4.3 (Expiration of
Term) and 5.1 (Disability) shall be your execution and delivery of a release of
all claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Release”),
as may be revised from time to time as necessary to reflect changes in federal
or state laws to ensure that such release is valid. Such Release must be signed
by you and returned to the Company no later than 45 days after the date you
receive the Release. If you shall fail to execute and deliver such Release
within the designated timeframe, or if you revoke such Release as provided
therein, then you shall not be entitled to any severance benefits provided in
Section 4.2.2 or Section 4.3 or Disability Period (defined below) payments under
the Agreement and you shall reimburse the Company for any such payments made to
you in anticipation of your execution of the release or prior to the revocation
of such release.

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.5. Payments. Payments of Base Salary and Bonus required to be made to you
after a termination of employment pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6 shall be made
at the same times as such payments otherwise would have been paid to you
pursuant to Sections 3.1 (Base Salary) and 3.2 (Bonus) if your employment had
not been terminated, or such other time as required for compliance with Code
Section 409A as set forth in Section 10.15 below.

4.6. No Mitigation of Damages. The Parties agree that you are not required to
seek other employment or to mitigate the amounts payable under this Agreement.
Except as provided in Sections 4.2.2.1 and 10.6.2, no compensation earned by you
from subsequent employment will reduce any amounts payable under this Agreement.

4.7. Code §§ 280G and 4999. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, to the extent that any amount, stock option, restricted
stock, RSUs, other equity awards or benefits paid or distributed to you pursuant
to this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and
you (collectively, the “280G Payments”) (a) constitute a “parachute payment”
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (b) but for this Section 4.7,
would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the
280G Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) in such lesser amount
which would result in no portion of such 280G Payments being subject to excise
tax under Section 4999 of the Code; whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking
into account the applicable federal, state and local income or excise taxes
(including the excise tax imposed by Section 4999) results in your receipt on an
after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under this Agreement,
notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under
Section 4999 of the Code. Unless you and the Company otherwise agree in writing,
any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by an
independent public accountant selected by the Company (the “Accountants”), whose
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon you and the Company for all
purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the
Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning
applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations
concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company
and you shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the
Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this
Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur
in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section, as well as any
reasonable legal or accountant expenses, or any additional taxes, that you may
incur as a result of any calculation errors made by the Accountant and/or the
Company in connection with the Code Section 4999 excise tax analysis
contemplated by this Section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.7.1. Additional 280G Payments. If you receive reduced 280G Payments by reason
of this Section 4.7 and it is established pursuant to a final determination of
the court or an Internal Revenue Service proceeding that you could have received
a greater amount without resulting in an excise tax, then the Company shall
promptly thereafter pay you the aggregate additional amount which could have
been paid without resulting in an excise tax as soon as practicable.

4.7.2. Review of Accountant Determinations. The parties agree to cooperate
generally and in good faith with respect to (i) the review and determinations to
be undertaken by the Accountants as set forth in this Section 4.7 and (ii) any
audit, claim or other proceeding brought by the Internal Revenue Service or
similar state authority to review or contest or otherwise related to the
determinations of the Accountants as provided for in this Section 4.7, including
any claim or position taken by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful,
would require the payment by you of any additional excise tax, over and above
the amounts of excise tax established under the procedure set forth in this
Section 4.7.

4.7.3. Order of 280G Payment Reduction. The reduction of 280G Payments, if
applicable, shall be effected in the following order (unless you, to the extent
permitted by Section 409A of the Code, elect another method of reduction by
written notice to the Company prior to the Section 280G event): (i) any cash
severance payments, (ii) any other cash amounts payable to you, (iii) any health
and welfare or similar benefits valued as parachute payments, (iv) acceleration
of vesting of any stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the then
fair market value of the underlying stock, in order of the option tranches with
the largest Section 280G parachute value, (v) acceleration of vesting of any
equity award that is not a stock option and (vi) acceleration of vesting of any
stock options for which the exercise price is less than the fair market value of
the underlying stock in such manner as would net you the largest remaining
spread value if the options were all exercised as of the Section 280G event.

5. Disability.

5.1. Disability Payments. If during the Term and prior to the delivery of any
notice of termination of employment pursuant to Section 4, you become physically
or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, so that you are unable to
engage in substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment, which can be expected to result in death or can
be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months,
the Company shall, nevertheless, continue to pay your full compensation
(including Bonus) through the last day of the sixth consecutive month of
disability or the date on which any shorter periods of disability shall have
equaled a total of six months in any twelve-month period (such last day or date
being referred to herein as the “Disability Date”),

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in lieu of or offset by any payments received by you from Worker’s Compensation
insurance, Social Security, and short- or long-term disability insurance
benefits maintained by the Company; provided that, if you die prior to the
Disability Date, you are not entitled to any further payments after such date,
except as provided in Section 6 below. If you have not resumed your usual duties
on or prior to the Disability Date, the Company shall terminate your employment
effective as of the Disability Date and pay you (i) to the extent not paid, any
bonus compensation for a year prior to the year of termination, subject to
actual achievement of the performance criteria based on Company performance or,
if multiple performance criteria are used, the weighted average of such
performance criteria, as determined by the Company for such year (and subject to
the exercise by the Board’s Compensation Committee of its negative discretion in
a manner comparable to the treatment of other named executive officers) and
(ii) a pro rata Bonus based on actual achievement of the performance criteria
established for the Company, provided that, if applicable, any criteria based on
individual performance shall be deemed satisfied to the same extent as the
performance criteria based on Company performance or, if multiple performance
criteria are used, the weighted average of such performance criteria, as
determined by the Company, for the year in which the Disability Date occurs (and
subject to the exercise by the Board’s Compensation Committee of its negative
discretion in a manner comparable to the treatment of other named executive
officers). Thereafter, the Company shall pay you disability benefits for a
period of time equal to the Severance Period defined in Section 4.2.2 (the
“Disability Period”), in an annual amount equal to 75% of your Base Salary and
Target Bonus in effect as of the Disability Date (but not less than the Base
Salary and Target Bonus that would have been applicable upon the CEO
Commencement Date). All payments pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be made at
the times specified in Section 4.5 (Payments).

5.2. Recovery From Disability. If during the Disability Period you shall fully
recover from your disability, the Company shall have the right (exercisable
within 60 days after notice from you of such recovery), but not the obligation,
to reinstate you to full-time employment at your compensation rate in effect as
of the Disability Date. If the Company elects to rehire you, then the Disability
Period payments described in Section 5.1 shall cease and this Agreement shall be
reinstated in all respects and the Term shall not be extended by virtue of the
occurrence of the Disability Period. If the Company elects not to rehire you,
during any balance of your Disability Period, you shall be entitled to receipt
of the payments described in Section 5.1 and you may obtain Other Employment,
subject, however, to the following: (i) you shall perform advisory services to
the Company during any balance of the Disability Period and (ii) you shall not
be entitled to the post-termination health and welfare benefits provided in
Section 7.3 if you obtain Other Employment during the balance of your Disability
Period. The advisory services referred to in clause (i) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall consist of rendering advice concerning strategic
matters as requested by the Company, but you shall not be required to devote
more than five days (up to eight hours per day) each month to such services,
which shall be performed at a time and place mutually convenient to both
parties. Any income from any Other Employment you may obtain during the balance
of the Disability Period shall not be applied to reduce the Company’s
obligations under this Agreement.

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.3. Other Disability Provisions. The Company shall be entitled to deduct from
all payments to be made to you during the Disability Period pursuant to this
Section 5 an amount equal to all disability payments received by you during the
Disability Period from any Worker’s Compensation insurance, Social Security and
short- or long-term disability insurance benefits maintained by the Company;
provided however, that for so long as, and to the extent that, proceeds paid to
you from such disability insurance policies are not includible in your income
for federal income tax purposes, the Company’s deduction with respect to such
payments shall be equal to the product of (i) such payments and (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one less the
maximum marginal rate of federal income taxes applicable to individuals at the
time of receipt of such payments. For purposes of clarity, you acknowledge and
agree that Sections 4.2 (Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason) and 4.3
(Expiration of Term) shall not apply during the Disability Period and you shall
not be entitled to any other notice and severance benefits under this Agreement
or otherwise, or to receive or be paid for any accrued vacation time or unused
sabbatical, unless payment of such accrued, but unused vacation benefits is
otherwise required by state law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you die
during the Disability Period, the payments provided for in Section 5.1 shall
immediately cease and your estate (or designated beneficiary(ies)) shall not be
entitled to any further payments; provided that, you shall be entitled to 75% of
a prorated Target Bonus for the year in which your death occurs, based on the
number of whole months and days in any partial months in such calendar year
prior to the date of your death, as determined by the Company in its sole
discretion, calculated using the greater of the Target Bonus in effect for the
year in which your death occurs or the Target Bonus that would have been
applicable upon the CEO Commencement Date.

6. Death. If you die during the Term, this Agreement and all obligations of the
Company to make any payments hereunder shall terminate, except as otherwise
provided in any benefit, savings, incentive or other plan or program of the
Company (and only to the extent not otherwise addressed in this Agreement), and
your estate (or a designated beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive
(a) earned but unpaid Base Salary to the last day of the month in which your
death occurs, (b) Bonus compensation for the year of termination (at the time
bonuses are normally paid) but pro-rated according to the number of whole months
and days in any partial months you were employed by the Company in such calendar
year and (c) to the extent not paid, any Bonus for a year prior to the year in
which your death occurred (at the time such bonuses are normally paid), provided
that any determination of the bonus payments provided for in sub-clauses (b) and
(c) above shall be based on the actual achievement of the performance criteria

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

established for the Company (and subject to the exercise by the Board’s
Compensation Committee of its negative discretion in a manner comparable to the
treatment of other named executive officers); provided that, if applicable, any
criteria based on individual performance shall be deemed satisfied to the same
extent as the performance criteria based on Company performance, or, if multiple
performance criteria are used, the weighted average of such performance
criteria, as determined by the Company.

7. Other Benefits.

7.1. Generally Available Benefits. To the extent that (a) you are eligible under
the general provisions thereof (including without limitation, any plan provision
providing for participation to be limited to persons who were employees of the
Company or certain of its subsidiaries prior to a specific point in time) and
(b) the Company maintains such plan or program for the benefit of its
executives, during the Term and so long as you are an employee of the Company,
you shall be eligible to participate in any pension, excess plan, savings or
similar plan or program, group life insurance, hospitalization, medical, vision,
dental, accident, disability or similar plan or program, financial planning
services (increasing as of the Effective Date to the level associated with CEO
status) and courtesy services of the Company now existing or established
hereafter for similarly situated executives.

7.2. Life Insurance. During your employment with the Company, the Company shall
(i) provide you with $50,000 of group life insurance and (ii) pay you annually
an amount equal to two times the premium you would have to pay to obtain life
insurance under the Group Universal Life (“GUL”) insurance program made
available by the Company in an amount equal to $4,000,000. You shall be under no
obligation to use the payments made by the Company pursuant to the preceding
sentence to purchase GUL insurance or to purchase any other life insurance. If
the Company discontinues its GUL insurance program, the Company shall
nevertheless make the payments required by this Section 7.2 as if such program
were still in effect. The payments made to you hereunder shall not be considered
as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any
payment under any pension, retirement, profit-sharing or other benefit plan of
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The payments required by this
Section 7.2 will be paid to you no later than March 15 following the calendar
year to which it relates.

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.3. Benefits After a Termination or Disability. During the Severance Period or
the Disability Period, unless you accept Other Employment as described in
Sections 4.2.2 (Severance Benefits) or 5.2 (Recovery From Disability), you shall
continue to be eligible to receive financial planning services as provided for
under Section 7.1 above (in the amount provided immediately prior to the
Severance Period or Disability Period, as the case may be) and to participate in
the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans, or comparable arrangements that
may be implemented for former employees covered by severance arrangements, in
each case, to the extent such benefits are maintained in effect by the Company
for its executives; provided however, (a) you shall not be entitled to any
additional awards or grants under any stock option, restricted stock, RSU or
other stock based incentive plan or Additional Compensation Plans, (b) any
equity awards granted before the Original Effective Date that would have vested
on or before the end of the Severance Period or Disability Period shall continue
to vest during the Severance Period or Disability Period (consistent with the
pro-rata vesting terms set forth in Section 7.3(e) below); provided that, any
stock option awards that are scheduled to vest on or before the end of the
Severance Period or Disability Period shall vest upon the earlier of (i) the
original vesting date of the stock option award, (ii) your commencement of Other
Employment, and (iii) the end of the Severance Period or Disability Period;
provided further that, vested stock options shall remain exercisable until a
date that is three years after the earlier of (x) your commencement of Other
Employment and (y) the end of the Severance Period or Disability Period, but not
beyond the term of such options, and (c) with respect to equity awards granted
on or after the Original Effective Date and before the expiration of the Term,
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the respective award agreements
and the vesting provisions set forth in Section 4.2.2 and this Section 7.3,
(d) during the Term, the Company shall not be permitted to determine that your
employment was terminated for “unsatisfactory performance” or “Performance”
within the meaning of any stock option, restricted stock, RSU, or other equity
compensation agreement between you and the Company, (e) for purposes of
determining whether any equity based award granted before the Original Effective
Date would have vested on or before the end of the Severance Period (as
contemplated in clause (b) above), such equity based award(s) shall be deemed to
vest pro rata over the applicable vesting period notwithstanding any
inconsistent provisions in the plan or agreement under which it was granted; and
(f) you shall not be eligible for continuation of Company car, automobile
allowance, mobile phone, and/or country club membership reimbursements or any
other similar discretionary allowances, to the extent applicable, during or
after the Severance Period or Disability Period, or any other termination of
employment under this Agreement. Effective with your termination of employment
pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6, you will no longer be permitted to contribute to
or receive a Company match in the TWC Savings Plan, or any successor plan, and
you will no longer accrue benefit service under the Time Warner Cable Pension
Plan or the Time Warner Cable Excess Benefit Pension Plan, or any successor
plans, and your rights under those plans will be determined in accordance with
the terms of those plans and applicable law.

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.4. Payments in Lieu of Other Benefits. In the event your employment with the
Company is terminated pursuant to any section of this Agreement, you shall not
be entitled to notice and/or severance under the Company’s general employee
policies or other executive severance plans or programs, or to be paid for any
accrued vacation time or unused sabbatical (unless payment of such accrued, but
unused vacation benefits is otherwise required by state law), the payments
provided for in such sections in this Agreement being in lieu thereof.

7.5. Other Payments and Benefits. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement,
your rights to benefits and payments under any benefit plans or any insurance or
other death benefit plans or arrangements of the Company or under any stock
option, restricted stock, RSU, or other equity compensation, Additional
Compensation Plans, or any management incentive or other plan of the Company
shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans
and any related award agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your continued
participation in the Company’s benefit plans shall be subject to the limitations
of applicable law.

8. Restrictive Covenants.

8.1. Confidentiality Covenant. You acknowledge that your employment by the
Company will, throughout the term of your employment, bring you into close
contact with many confidential affairs of the Company, its affiliates and third
parties doing business with the Company, including information about costs,
profits, markets, sales, products, key personnel, pricing policies, operational
methods, technical processes and other business affairs and methods and other
information not readily available to the public, and plans for future
development. You further acknowledge that the services to be performed under
this Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual
character. You further acknowledge that the business of the Company and its

of the foregoing, you covenant and agree:

matters of the Company, its affiliates and third parties and shall not disclose
such matters to anyone outside of the Company and its affiliates, or to anyone
inside the Company and its affiliates who does not have a need to know or use
such information, and shall not use such information for personal benefit or the
benefit of a third party, either during or after the Term, except with the
Company’s written consent, provided that (i) you shall have no such

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

obligation to the extent such matters are or become publicly known other than as
a result of your breach of your obligations hereunder, (ii) you may, after
giving prior notice to the Company to the extent practicable under the
circumstances, disclose such matters to the extent required by applicable laws
or governmental regulations or judicial or regulatory process, and (iii) to the
extent necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement; and

8.1.2. You shall deliver promptly to the Company on termination of your
employment, or at any other time the Company may so request, all memoranda,

the Company’s and its affiliates’ businesses, which you obtained while employed
by, or otherwise serving or acting on behalf of, the Company and which you may
then possess or have under your control; provided that you may retain your
personal tax, financial or accounting records and your documents in your
personal files, related to your benefits, equity and rights under this
Agreement.

8.2. Non-solicitation. During your employment with the Company and its
affiliates, and if your employment terminates for any reason, whether during or
after the Term, including your voluntary resignation or retirement, for a period
of one year after such termination, without the prior written consent of the
Company, you shall not directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, induce, encourage or
attempt to influence any customer, independent contractor, joint venturer or
supplier of the Company to cease to do business with or to otherwise terminate
his, her or its relationship with the Company, (ii) solicit or hire or cause any
entity of which you are an affiliate to solicit or hire, any person who was a
full-time employee of the Company at the date of your termination of employment
or within six months prior thereto, but such prohibition shall not apply to your
secretary or executive assistant or any other employee eligible to receive
overtime pay or to hire any former employee of the Company who was terminated
involuntarily by the Company, so long as you were not, directly or indirectly,
involved in the circumstances giving rise to such termination. Nothing in this
Section 8.2 shall restrict your ability to engage in general advertising not
targeted at Company employees or serve as a reference for an employee with
regard to an entity with which you are not affiliated

8.3. Mutual Non-disparagement. During your employment with the Company and its
affiliates, and if your employment terminates for any reason, whether during or
after the Term, including your voluntary resignation or retirement, at any time
after your termination of employment, you shall not, directly or indirectly,
disparage, make negative statements about or act in any manner which is intended
to or does damage the goodwill of, or the business or personal reputations of
the Company or any of its affiliates, or those individuals who serve or served
as an officer or director of the Company or any of its affiliates on or after
the Original Effective Date. During such period, the senior executive team of
the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, disparage, make negative
statements about or act in any manner which

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is intended to or does damage your business or personal reputation. Nothing in
this Section 8.3 shall prohibit or bar the Company or you from providing
truthful testimony in any legal proceeding, making any truthful disclosure
required under law or from enforcing any rights under this Agreement (including
any violation by the other party of the provisions of this Section 8.3). It
shall not be a violation of this Section 8.3 if (i) you respond to any
disparaging or negative statements about you or any action which is intended to
or does damage your business or personal reputation, in each case resulting from
acts or statements by the Company or its officers, directors or employees, in
each case so long as your response is otherwise truthful and not misleading or
(ii) the Company responds to any statements or actions by you in violation of
this Section 8.3, so long as its response is otherwise truthful and not
misleading.

8.4. Non-compete. During your employment with the Company and its affiliates,
and if your employment terminates for any reason, whether during or after the
Term, including your voluntary resignation or retirement, for a period of time
equal to the Severance Period defined in Section 4.2.2 (without regard to any
modification of the Severance Period in Section 4.2.3 and whether or not you are
eligible for or receive any severance benefits under Section 4.2.2) or, if you
are employed at will, 12 months after your termination of employment for any
reason (the “Non-compete Period”), you shall not, directly or indirectly,
without the prior written consent of the Board (or, prior to the CEO
Commencement Date, the Current CEO), render any services to, or act in any
capacity for, any Competitive Entity, or acquire any interest of any type in any
Competitive Entity; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to
prohibit you from acquiring, (a) solely as an investment and through market
purchases, securities of any Competitive Entity which are registered under
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and which are
publicly traded, so long as you are not part of any control group of such
Competitive Entity and such securities, including converted securities, do not
constitute more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting power of that
entity and (b) securities of any Competitive Entity that are not publicly
traded, so long as you are not part of any control group of such Competitive
Entity and such securities, including converted securities, do not constitute
more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting power of that entity. For
purposes of the foregoing, the following shall be deemed to be a Competitive
Entity: (i) any entity for which a material portion of its business (or any line
of business that comprises a material portion of its business) is a business (or
line of business) in which the Company engages in, conducts or, to your
knowledge, has definitive plans to engage in or conduct and that the Company
reasonably expects will comprise a material portion of its business within the
succeeding 12 months, whether that business is conducted directly by such entity
or a subsidiary of such entity (a “Covered Business”); provided that, you may be
employed by or provide services to an ultimate parent company that owns a
subsidiary which is materially engaged in a Covered Business, so long as you
demonstrate to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction (e.g. represent and warrant
to the Company in writing and describe the nature of your

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

responsibilities) that you do not and will not, directly or indirectly, provide
any services or advice to, have any responsibility for, or supervision of, any
subsidiary materially engaged in a Covered Business, (ii) any entity which has a
material commercial relationship with the Company and could reasonably derive a
material unfair advantage in dealings with the Company because of confidential
information you possess about the Company’s products, services, business
strategies, financial condition, terms of agreements or other information, or
(iii) any operating business that is engaged in or conducted by the Company as
to which, to your knowledge, the Company covenants, in writing, not to compete
with in connection with the disposition of such business; provided that, this
Section 8.4 (iii) shall only apply during your active employment with the
Company and its affiliates. In evaluating any requests for written consent of
the Board (or, prior to the CEO Commencement Date, the Current CEO) to be
relieved, in whole or in part, of your obligations under this Section 8.4, the
Board (or, prior to the CEO Commencement Date, the Current CEO) shall consider
the nature of your position with the Company, the confidential and proprietary
information to which you were privy during the course of your employment with
the Company, the nature of the employment and position you are seeking with a
Competitive Entity, the extent to which you can perform services for any such
Competitive Entity without disclosing, using or putting at risk any trade
secrets or confidential, proprietary information of the Company, and any other
relevant factors, in all instances looking to make decisions that reasonably and
properly protect the trade secrets and other confidential, proprietary
information of the Company. The Parties further agree that in no event shall
your practice of law as a partner, shareholder, of counsel, or employee of a law
firm be construed as an association with a Competitive Entity otherwise
prohibited by this Section 8.4.

8.5. Ownership of Work Product. You acknowledge that during your employment, you
may conceive of, discover, invent or create inventions, improvements, new
contributions, literary property, material, ideas and discoveries, whether
patentable or copyrightable or not (all of the foregoing being collectively
referred to herein as “Work Product”), and that various business opportunities
shall be presented to you by reason of your employment by the Company. You
acknowledge that all of the foregoing shall be owned by and belong exclusively
to the Company and that you shall have no personal interest therein, provided
that they are either related in any manner to the business (commercial or
experimental) of the Company, or are, in the case of Work Product, conceived or
made on the Company’s time or with the use of the Company’s facilities or
materials, or, in the case of business opportunities, are presented to you for
the possible interest or participation of the Company. You shall (i) promptly
disclose any such Work Product and business opportunities to the Company;
(ii) assign to the Company, upon request and without additional compensation,
the entire rights to such Work Product and business opportunities; (iii) sign
all papers necessary to carry out the foregoing; and (iv) give testimony in
support of your inventorship or creation in any appropriate case. You agree that
you will not assert any rights to any Work Product or business opportunity as
having been made or acquired by you prior to the date of this Agreement except
for Work Product or business opportunities, if any, disclosed to and
acknowledged by the Company in writing prior to the date hereof.

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.6. Reasonable Restrictive Covenants. You acknowledge that the restrictions
contained in this Section 8, in light of the nature of the Company’s business
and your position and responsibilities, are reasonable and necessary to protect
the legitimate interests of the Company. You further acknowledge that the
restrictions contained in this Section 8 shall survive the termination of your
employment as provided in Section 10.13 (Survival), including your voluntary
resignation or retirement, and/or the expiration or termination of this
Agreement.

10.6.1. Specific Remedies. In addition to such other rights and remedies as the
Company may have at equity or in law with respect to any breach of this
Agreement, if you commit a material breach of any of the provisions of Section 8
(Restrictive Covenants), the Company shall have the right and remedy to have
such provisions specifically enforced by any court located in New York, New York
having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such
breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company,
provided that for the non-compete covenant set forth in Section 8.4, the right
to specific enforcement shall only apply to the first twelve months of the
Non-Compete Period. Upon a judicial determination that any of the restrictive
covenants set forth in Section 8 are overbroad in duration or scope, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be modified so as to effect the original intent of
the parties as closely as possible to the end that the restrictive covenants
contemplated in Section 8 are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

10.6.2. Reduction of Severance Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if you breach any of the provisions of Section 8
during the relevant restricted periods provided for therein, as determined by
the Board, all payment and other obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections
4.2.2 (Severance Benefits), 4.2.3 (Termination Upon CIC), 4.3 (Expiration of
Term), 5.1 (Disability Payments), 7.1 (Generally Available Benefits), 7.2 (Life
Insurance) or 7.3 (Benefits After Termination) shall cease as of the date of the
breach and you agree to forfeit such payments and obligations while in breach of
the provisions of Section 8; provided that, the balance of any remaining
payments or other obligations due you pursuant to Sections 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.3,
5.1, 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3, if any, shall be provided to you as scheduled if you cease
to engage in the conduct that violates the provisions of Section 8 (whether at
the request of the Company, as the result of an injunction or otherwise).
Furthermore, any breach of the provisions of Section 8 during the relevant
restricted periods provided for therein shall result in the consequences, if
any, provided for under the terms of your Long-term Incentive Awards. Nothing in
this Section 10.6.2 shall limit your repayment obligations to the Company, if
any, under Section 10.6.3 below.

10.6.3. Option, Stock and Other Compensation Forfeiture. In addition to the
injunctive remedies available to the Company pursuant to Section 10.6.1 above,
or any other remedies that might otherwise be available to the Company, you
agree that your options, any other equity-based awards, and any long-term
incentive compensation, in each case, granted on or after the Original Effective
Date (each a “Covered Grant”), shall be subject to the

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

repayment obligations in this Section in the event of (x) the termination of
your employment for a “Covered Cause Event” (as defined below) or (y) the
termination of your employment for any reason other than cause followed by a
determination by the Company within twelve (12) months of such termination of
employment that you engaged in acts or omissions during your prior employment
that would have resulted in your termination by the Company for a Covered Cause
Event; provided that clause (y) shall not be applicable to options and any other
equity or cash-based awards granted before December 14, 2010, nor shall clause
(y) be applicable to any options, any other equity-based awards, and any
long-term incentive compensation, whenever granted, if the Company’s
determination regarding the Covered Cause Event occurs after a Change In Control
and your termination of employment occurs within the 12 months prior to or
24 months following a Change In Control.

10.6.3.1. For purposes of this Section (I) a “Covered Cause Event” shall mean
any conduct and/or activity falling within sub-clauses (a), (c), (d) and
(f) (other than a breach of Section 8.2 hereof) of the definition of “cause” in
Section 4.1.1, (II) the reference to “felony” in Section 4.1.1(a) shall be
limited solely to any acts or omissions arising in the performance of your
duties and responsibilities for, or matters involving the assets or property of,
the Company or its affiliates and (III) for purposes of this Section, no act or
failure to act will be considered “willful” with respect to “cause” unless it
has been done, or omitted to be done, by you in bad faith and without reasonable
belief that the action was in the best interests of the Company; provided
further that any act, or failure to act, based upon authority or instruction(s)
given to you pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board, or based upon
the advice of counsel for the Company, will be conclusively presumed to be done
or omitted to be done, by you in good faith and in the best interests of the
Company. This Section 10.6.3 shall not apply unless the Company gives you
written notice of its exercise of its rights under this Section 10.6.3 within
ninety (90) days of the Board becoming aware of the conduct giving rise to the
Covered Cause Event; provided that other than in the case of an ongoing course
of conduct, the Company shall provide you with written notice within eighteen
(18) months of conduct giving rise to the Covered Cause Event, or in the case of
the cessation of an ongoing course of conduct, within eighteen (18) months of
such cessation, and if it fails to do so such conduct shall no longer provide a
basis for any forfeiture pursuant to Section 10.6.3. In the event of a change of
ownership or control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets of the Company (in each case as defined under
Section 280G of the Code), no person or entity acquiring such ownership or
control may enforce the provisions of this Section 10.6.3 against you if at the
time of such transaction such person or entity was aware of, or reasonably
should have known of, events or circumstances that would have given the Company
grounds to have terminated your employment for a Covered Cause Event.

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.6.3.2. Your repayment obligation under this Section shall be an amount equal
to your “Improper Gain” (as defined below), and your repayment obligations may,
at the election of the Board or a committee to whom the Board has delegated such
matters (the “Committee”), be satisfied by a cash payment or with respect to any
Covered Grants, cancellation of vested awards, delivery of shares, forfeiture of
unvested awards or such combination of the foregoing as the Committee in its
discretion may determine. Any repayment obligation shall be satisfied by
certified check within sixty (60) days of any determination and demand by the
Committee, unless the Committee provides for other forms of repayment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may satisfy your repayment obligations with
respect to amounts owed pursuant to Section 10.6.3 in connection with any
applicable option or equity award (including any long term incentive
compensation settled in equity-based awards) by returning the applicable options
or other equity awards, or the equity acquired upon exercise of such options or
the vesting of such other equity awards (including any long term incentive
compensation settled in equity-based awards) to the Company.

10.6.3.3. For purposes of this Agreement, “Improper Gain” shall mean, with
respect to any Covered Grant, that portion of “Covered Gain” (as defined below)
which is determined by the Committee in good faith to represent your personal
economic gain derived from the Company as a direct result of engaging in any
Covered Cause Event, less the “Net Tax Cost” as set forth in Section 10.6.4.1.
“Covered Gain” shall mean an amount equal to (A) the total amount of Award Gain
(as defined below) realized by you upon each exercise of options and the value
you have received with respect to any settlement or payment in connection with
any other equity awards, or any other long-term incentive compensation, in each
case during the “Forfeiture Period” (as defined below), and (B) the fair market
value of all other equity awards awarded to you or which have become vested, in
each case during the Forfeiture Period. “Award Gain” shall mean the product of
(x) the fair market value per share of stock at the date of such option exercise
or exercise of other equity awards (without regard to any subsequent change in
the market price of such share of stock) minus the exercise price times (y) the
number of shares as to which the options and other equity awards were exercised
at that date. The “Forfeiture Period” shall mean (i) if your employment is
terminated as a result of a Covered Cause Event, the three year period prior to
your termination of employment, or (ii) if your employment is terminated for a
reason other than cause, but the Company determines within 12 months of such
termination of employment that you engaged in acts or omissions during your
prior employment that would have resulted in your termination for a Covered
Cause Event, the final three years of your employment and any time after such
termination of employment, provided that clause (ii) shall not be applicable if
the Company’s determination regarding the Covered Cause Event occurs after a
Change In Control and the termination of your employment occurs within the
12 months prior to or 24 months following a Change In Control.

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.6.4. Other Forfeitures of Compensation. You hereby acknowledge and agree that
you are subject to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and that pursuant thereto you may under certain
circumstances be obligated to pay back to the Company certain amounts previously
received by you. In addition, in connection with any grant, payment or
settlement made on your behalf (i.e., in connection with any incentive and/or
performance based compensation), based in whole or in part on the financial
performance criteria of the Company, or any division thereof, that are
subsequently determined by the Board or a committee thereof to be materially
incorrect as a result of the Company filing an adverse restatement of earnings,
you hereby agree that you shall pay back to the Company upon request of the
Board, the Board’s audit committee, or a committee of independent Board members,
within sixty (60) days of written demand, amounts previously received by you as
bonuses or other incentive or equity compensation, equal to the amount by which
your compensation would have been reduced net of any additional amounts that
would have been due to you (in respect of the same years or different years) had
the earnings been stated correctly and the performance criteria been applied
correctly; it being understood that you shall retain any such remaining
compensation attributable to the correct application of such performance
criteria. Your repayment obligation under this Section 10.6.4 shall apply only
to bonuses or other incentive or equity compensation proceeds actually received
by you during the three year period following the last day of the fiscal year of
the financial statements restated by the Company; provided that, such repayment
obligation shall not apply if the adverse restatement is filed by the Company
more than three years after the last day of the fiscal year of the restated
financial statements. For the avoidance of doubt, the three-year limitations of
the preceding sentence shall not apply for purposes of determining any
additional amounts that would have been due to you that are netted against your
repayment obligation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amount
shall be repaid by you more than once under Section 10.6.3 and this
Section 10.6.4.

10.6.4.1. Tax Liabilities with Respect to Forfeitures or Reimbursement
Obligations. Except to the extent required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or The
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act and Consumer Protection Act, repayments to the
Company of amounts previously paid to you or of gain realized by you in
connection with any option or equity award (as may be provided for in Sections
10.6.3 and 10.6.5 and Annex B), or any bonus or other incentive or equity
compensation (as may be provided for in Section 10.6.4) shall be reduced by the
Net Tax Cost of amounts of previously paid compensation and/or gain, so that you
shall not be required to pay to the Company amounts in excess of the amounts
received by you on an “after-tax” basis. “Net Tax Cost” shall mean the net
amount of any federal, foreign, state or local income and employment taxes paid
by you in respect of the compensation or gain received that is subject to
reimbursement, after taking into account any and all available deductions,
credits or other offsets allowable to you (including, without limitation,

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any deduction permitted under the claim of right doctrine), and regardless of
whether you would be required to amend any prior income or other tax returns,
subject to your documentation that deductions, credits or other offsets
otherwise available or allowable to you could not be used as a result of your
actual tax position.

10.6.4.2. Incentive Compensation Forfeiture Offset. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Company shall have the right to offset against any amounts
owed to you by the Company any repayment obligations or liabilities that you may
have under Sections 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 and Annex B of this Agreement.

10.6.5. Other Incentive Compensation Repayments. You agree that, if you are or
become an executive officer subject to the incentive compensation repayment
requirements of The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act,
you will enter into an amendment to this Section or a separate written agreement
with the Company to comply with the Act and any regulations thereunder if
required by the Act or any regulations thereunder.

10.7. Resolution of Disputes. Except as provided in the preceding Section 10.6
(Remedies), any dispute or controversy arising with respect to this Agreement
and your employment hereunder (whether based on contract or tort or upon any
federal, state or local statute, including but not limited to claims asserted
under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended, any state Fair Employment Practices Act and/or the
Americans with Disability Act) shall, at the election of either you or the
Company, be submitted to JAMS for resolution in arbitration in accordance with
the rules and procedures of JAMS. Either party shall make such election by
delivering written notice thereof to the other party at any time (but not later
than 45 days after such party receives notice of the commencement of any
administrative or regulatory proceeding or the filing of any lawsuit relating to
any such dispute or controversy) and thereupon any such dispute or controversy
shall be resolved only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.7.
Any such proceedings shall take place in New York, New York before a single
arbitrator (rather than a panel of arbitrators), pursuant to any streamlined or
expedited (rather than a comprehensive) arbitration process, before a
non-judicial (rather than a judicial) arbitrator, and in accordance with an
arbitration process which, in the judgment of such arbitrator, shall have the
effect of reasonably limiting or reducing the cost of such arbitration. The
resolution of any such dispute or controversy by the arbitrator appointed in
accordance with the procedures of JAMS shall be final and binding. Judgment upon
the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof, and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of the New
York courts for this purpose. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
the costs of arbitration (including

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees of experts) from the losing party;
provided that each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees and
the fees of experts) with respect to any action arising under Section 10.6.3. If
at the time any dispute or controversy arises with respect to this Agreement,
JAMS is not in business or is no longer providing arbitration services, then the
American Arbitration Association shall be substituted for JAMS for the purposes
of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.7.

10.8. Beneficiaries. Whenever this Agreement provides for any payment to your
estate, such payment may be made instead to such beneficiary or beneficiaries as
you may designate by written notice to the Company. You shall have the right to
revoke any such designation and to redesignate a beneficiary or beneficiaries by
written notice to the Company (and to any applicable insurance company) to such
effect.

10.9. No Conflict. You represent and warrant to the Company that this Agreement
is legal, valid and binding upon you and the execution of this Agreement and the
performance of your obligations hereunder does not and will not constitute a
breach of, or conflict with the terms or provisions of, any agreement or
understanding to which you are a party (including, without limitation, any other
employment agreement). The Company represents and warrants to you that this
Agreement is legal, valid and binding upon the Company and the execution of this
Agreement and the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder does not
and will not constitute a breach of, or conflict with the terms or provisions
of, any agreement or understanding to which the Company is a party.

10.10. Withholding Taxes. Payments made to you pursuant to this Agreement shall
be subject to withholding and social security taxes and other ordinary and
customary payroll deductions.

10.11. Offset. Except as provided in Sections 5.1 (Disability Payments),
10.6.4.2 (Incentive Compensation Forfeiture Offset) and the Company’s general
right to offset any payments received by you under this Agreement by any
disability benefits you may receive during the Term or any Severance Period from
Worker’s Compensation insurance, Social Security disability, and short- and
long-term disability insurance benefits maintained by the Company, neither you
nor the Company shall have any right to offset any amounts owed by one party
hereunder against amounts owed or claimed to be owed to such party, whether
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and you and the Company shall make all
the payments provided for in this Agreement in a timely manner.

10.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid,
the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby; provided however,
that the parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to equitable
modification of the provision or application thereof held to be invalid. To the
extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, each party hereby
waives any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect.

 

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.13. Survival.

10.13.1. Sections 3.6 (Indemnification), 4.3 (Expiration of Term), 4.5

(General) shall survive any termination of your employment by the Company for

10.15. Compliance With Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with
or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and will be interpreted, administered
and operated in a manner consistent with that intent. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at the time of your separation from service with the
Company you are a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code
(and the regulations thereunder) and any payments or benefits otherwise payable
hereunder as a result of such separation from service are subject to
Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the
payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in
such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to you) until the date
that is six months following your separation from service with the Company (or
the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code), and the
Company will pay any such delayed amounts in a lump sum at such time. If any
other payments of money or other benefits due to you hereunder could cause the
application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code,
such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such
payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise
such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in
a manner, determined by the Company, that does not cause such an accelerated or
additional tax. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to you
under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of
the Code, any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be paid to you in a
manner consistent with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). Each payment made
under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code. References to “termination of employment”
and similar terms used in this Agreement are

 

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

intended to refer to “separation from service” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of
the Code. Whenever a payment under this Agreement may be paid within a specified
period, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within
the sole discretion of the Company. In no event may you, directly or indirectly,
designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement. Any
provision in this Agreement providing for any right of offset or set-off by the
Company shall not permit any offset or set-off against payments of
“non-qualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code
or other amounts or payments to the extent that such offset or set-off would
result in any violation of Section 409A or adverse tax consequences to you under
Section 409A. The Company shall consult with you in good faith regarding the
implementation of the provisions of this Section 10.15; provided that neither
the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability
to you with respect to thereto.

10.16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement
and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or
oral, between the parties, including, but not limited to, the Prior Agreement
and any prior employment agreement with the Company as of the Original Effective
Date.

10.17. Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in a
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of
which shall constitute one and the same Agreement, and such executed counterpart
may be delivered in original form or by electronic means.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement made as of [Date], 2013,

employment discrimination, wrongful termination, constructive termination,
violation of public policy, breach of any express or implied contract, breach of
any implied covenant, fraud, intentional or negligent misrepresentation,
emotional distress, slander, and invasion of privacy; provided, however, that
the execution of this Release shall not prevent the undersigned from bringing a
lawsuit against the Company to enforce its obligations under the Agreement or

awards or other long-term incentive compensation held by me or granted to me by
the Company that are scheduled to vest subsequent to my termination of
employment pursuant to Section 7.3(c) or (d); provided further, that the

arrangement.

I received a copy of this Release to sign it and that I have been advised to

become effective or enforceable until the expiration of the seven-day period
following the date it is signed by me.

I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY SIGNING THIS RELEASE I MAY BE GIVING UP VALUABLE
LEGAL RIGHTS AND THAT I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO CONSULT A LAWYER BEFORE SIGNING. I
further state that I have read this document and the Agreement referred to
herein, that I know the contents of both and that I have executed the same as my
own free act.
