	Section 3.3	 	Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests








     (a) Class 1—Priority Claims against the Debtors




(i) Treatment: The legal, equitable and contractual rights of the Holders of
Allowed Priority Claims are unaltered by the Plan. Unless the Holder of an Allowed
Priority Claim against the Debtors and the Debtors agree to a different treatment,
each Holder of an Allowed Priority Claim against the Debtors shall receive one of
the following alternative treatments, at the election of the Debtors or the LLC
Agents, as applicable:




	 	(A)	 	to the extent then due and owing on the Effective Date, such

or the Liquidating LLC, as applicable; or




14









 












	 	(B)	 	to the extent not due and owing on the Effective Date, such
Allowed Priority Claim will be paid in full in Cash, by the
Liquidating LLC when and as such Allowed Priority Claim becomes due
and owing in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the
terms thereof.

and distribution purposes.



     (c) Class 3—TW Party Claims against the Debtors




(i) Treatment: Holders of Class 3 TW Party Claims shall receive the following:

turning over such amount to Holders of Accepting Class 4 Claims and

Interests, provided, that the Series C Beneficial Interests shall be
immediately turned over on the Effective Date, on behalf of and at
the direction of Time Warner, to each of the Cisneros Group Parties
on an equal basis, and, if the LLC Option is elected, the right to
receive the Accepting Class 4 Distribution Amount as encompassed by
the Series B Beneficial Interests shall be immediately turned over on
the Effective Date to the Holders of Accepting Class 4 Claims as
reflected by the Series A-1 Beneficial Interests.
	 
	 	 	 	The distribution made to Holders of Class 3 TW Party Claims shall be
in respect of the aggregate amount of Class 3 TW Party Claims and any
particular distribution made to a specific TW Party shall be in
respect of an agreement among the TW Parties. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, AOL shall not receive
property or cash hereunder with a fair market

Holder’s pro rata share of Available Cash available for Distribution on
such Date as determined by the proportion that such Holder’s Allowed
Claim bears to the Total Allowed Unsecured Claims.
	 
	 	 	 	If the LLC Option is elected pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(i)(A), on or
before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall fund the Disputed
General Unsecured Claims Fund. If the Cash Option is elected
pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(i)(B), on or before the Effective Date,
the Debtors shall fund each of the Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund and
the Nonaccepting Class 4 Claims Fund.
	 
	 	(C)	 	The Cash Option shall be presumed to be elected
unless, no later than five (5) days prior to the Effective Date, the
Debtors, with the consent of the Principal Stockholders, file a notice

Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.



     (b) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, any other order of the
Bankruptcy Court or any document or agreement entered into and enforceable pursuant to the terms of

ARTICLE V




MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN





			
	Section 5.1	 	Substantive Consolidation for Purposes of Voting, Confirmation and Distribution








     This Plan contemplates and is predicated upon substantively consolidating the Debtors solely
for the purposes of (i) voting, (ii) confirmation and (iii) distribution. This Plan does not
contemplate the substantive consolidation of the Debtors for any other purpose. On the Effective
Date, (i) all guarantees of any Debtor of the payment, performance, or collection of another Debtor
shall be deemed eliminated and canceled, (ii) any obligation of any Debtor and all guarantees
thereof executed by one or more of the other Debtors shall be treated as a single obligation and
(iii) each Claim against any Debtor shall be deemed to be against the consolidated Debtors and
shall



17









 





be deemed a single Claim against and a single obligation of the consolidated Debtors. On the
Effective Date, and in accordance with the terms of this Plan and the consolidation of the assets
and liabilities of the Debtors, all Claims based upon guarantees of collection, payment, or
performance made by the Debtors as to the obligations of another Debtor shall be released and of no
further force and effect. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, such substantive consolidation
shall not (other than for purposes related to this Plan) (i) affect the legal and corporate
structures of Reorganized AOLA LLC, (ii) cause any Debtor to be liable for any Claim under this
Plan for which it otherwise is not liable, and the liability for any such Claim shall not be
affected by such substantive consolidation or (iii) affect any obligations under any leases or
contracts assumed in this Plan or otherwise subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, substantive consolidation shall not affect the obligations of any
Debtor to pay quarterly fees to the Office of the United States Trustee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1930(a)(6) until such time as such Debtor’s particular case is closed, dismissed or converted.



     On the Effective Date, all Intercompany Claims shall be eliminated and extinguished.



     Unless the Bankruptcy Court has approved the substantive consolidation of the Chapter 11 Cases
by a prior order, this Plan shall serve as, and shall be deemed to be, a motion for entry of an
order substantively consolidating the Debtors as provided in this Section 5.1. If no objection to
substantive consolidation is timely filed and served by any Holder of a Claim that is Impaired by
this Plan as provided herein on or before the deadline for objection to Confirmation of this Plan,
the Substantive Consolidation Order (which may be the Confirmation Order) may be entered by the
Bankruptcy Court. If any such objections are timely filed and served, a hearing with respect to
the substantive consolidation of the Chapter 11 Cases and the objections thereto shall be scheduled
by the Bankruptcy Court, which hearing shall coincide with the Confirmation Hearing.




			
	Section 5.2	 	Vesting of Assets in Reorganized AOLA LLC








     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument or indenture relating
thereto, on or after the Effective Date, after the conversion of AOLA into Reorganized AOLA LLC
pursuant to section 5.10, the Retained Assets shall vest in Reorganized AOLA LLC, free and clear of
all Claims, Liens, charges or other encumbrances and Interests. On and after the Effective Date,
Reorganized AOLA LLC may operate its business and may use, acquire or dispose of property and
compromise or settle any Claims or Equity Interests, without supervision or approval by the
Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other
than those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan and the Confirmation Order. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, all rights, privileges, entitlements, authorizations, grants,
permits, licenses, easements, franchises, and other similar items which constitute part of, or are
necessary or useful in the operation or the business of AOL Spain, whether in the United States or
elsewhere, shall be vested in Reorganized AOLA LLC, on the Effective Date, and shall thereafter be
exercisable and usable by Reorganized AOLA LLC to the same and fullest extent they would have been
exercisable and usable by the Debtors before the Petition Date.



     Unless otherwise required by law, the holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating LLC
(and any transferees), the Liquidating LLC, the Debtors and Reorganized AOLA LLC shall treat the
liquidation of the Dissolving Debtors, the conversion of AOLA into Reorganized AOLA LLC, and the
subsequent vesting of the Reorganized AOLA LLC interests into the Liquidating LLC for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as follows (and as occurring in the following order): (i) the liquidation,
under section 332 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, of each of AOL Caribbean Basin
and Puerto Rico Management Services with and into AOLA, (ii) the transfer of the assets of AOLA,
including the Other PR Assets and the PR Agreement, to the TW Parties with respect to the TW Party
Claims (subject to Time Warner’s turnover obligation described in Sections 3.3(c), 3.3(e) and 5.11
of this Plan to the Cisneros Group Parties) and the Holders of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured
Claims (but, as to the Holders of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims, if the LLC Option is
elected, excluding the Other PR Assets and the PR Agreement and, if the LLC Option is not elected,
assets consisting solely of cash), and (iii) (a) if the LLC Option is elected, the contribution of
the assets of AOLA (other than the Other PR Assets and the PR Agreement) by Time Warner and the
Holders of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims to the Liquidating LLC in exchange for
interests in the Liquidating LLC and the substantially concurrent turnover, on behalf of and at the
direction of Time Warner, of the Series C Beneficial Interest to the Cisneros Group Parties or (b)
if the Cash Option is elected, the turnover of a portion of the AOLA assets to the Cisneros Group
Parties and the contribution of the AOLA assets (other than the Other PR Assets and the PR
Agreement) by Time Warner and the Cisneros Group Parties in exchange for interests in the
Liquidating LLC. No holder of a beneficial interest in the Liquidating LLC



18









 





(or any transferees), AOLA, Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC shall take any
position contrary to this paragraph for United States federal income tax purposes unless otherwise
required by law.




			
	Section 5.3	 	Dismissal of Officers and Directors and Dissolution of Dissolving Debtors








     (a) Upon the Effective Date and immediately prior to the conversion of AOLA pursuant to
section 5.10, (i) the existing board of directors and board of managers, as applicable, of each of
the Dissolving Debtors and their respective remaining officers shall be dismissed and (ii) each of
the Dissolving Debtors shall be deemed dissolved without any further action required on the part of
any of the Dissolving Debtors, the shareholders of any of the Dissolving Debtors or the officers or
directors of any of the Dissolving Debtors.



     (b) The Confirmation Order shall provide that on the Effective Date, Final Decrees shall be
entered in the Chapter 11 Cases of the Dissolving Debtors.




			
	Section 5.4	 	Vesting of Assets in the Liquidating LLC








     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument or indenture relating
thereto, on the Effective Date, all of the Debtors’ Assets (excluding the Retained Assets, which
will be held by Reorganized AOLA LLC directly), any Assets acquired by the Debtors or the
Liquidating LLC under the Plan and all the limited liability company interests in Reorganized AOLA
LLC, shall vest in the Liquidating LLC, free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges or other
encumbrances, and the Liquidating LLC shall own all of the limited liability company interests in
Reorganized AOLA LLC. The Liquidating LLC Expense Reserve, the Administrative Claims Reserve Fund,
the Retention Payment Fund, the Disputed Priority Claims Fund, and if the LLC Option is elected,
the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Fund or if the Cash Option is elected, the Nonaccepting Class
4 Claims Fund and the Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund, as applicable, shall all be assets of the
Liquidating LLC, but Distributions from such funds shall be governed by the terms of this Plan.
Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the Liquidating LLC Agreement, the Assets in the
Liquidating LLC shall be managed and used for the sole purposes of carrying out this Plan and
effectuating the Distributions provided for in this Plan.




			
	Section 5.5	 	Transfer of Other PR Assets to AOL








     On the PR Transfer Date, the Other PR Assets shall be assigned, conveyed and transferred to
AOL (or to such other TW Party as directed by the TW Parties) free and clear of all Claims, Liens,
charges or other encumbrances and interests (as such terms are used in Section 363(f) of the
Bankruptcy Code) on an as-is, where is basis, and without any representations or warranties,
continuing obligations or indemnities of the Debtors, except as set forth in Section 10.2(j) of
this Plan. The Debtors are authorized to execute and deliver, and are empowered to fully perform
under, consummate and implement, this Plan, together with all additional instruments and documents
that may be reasonably necessary or desirable to implement the transfer of the Other PR Assets to
AOL (or to such other TW Party as directed by the TW Parties) on the PR Transfer Date, and to take
all further actions as may be requested by the TW Parties for the purpose of transferring the Other
PR Assets to AOL (or to such other TW Party as directed by the TW Parties), or as may be necessary
or appropriate to the performance of the obligations as contemplated by this Plan in connection
with the transfer of the Other PR Assets to AOL (or to such other TW Party as directed by the TW
Parties) on the PR Transfer Date. The Confirmation Order shall provide that the transfer of the
Other PR Assets to AOL (or to such other TW Party as directed by the TW Parties) is a transfer
pursuant to section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, and accordingly, pursuant to section 1146(c) of
the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of the Other PR Assets and the execution, delivery and/or
recordation of any and all documents or instruments necessary or desirable to consummate the

	Section 5.6	 	Restructuring Transactions








     Subject to obtaining the consent of the Principal Stockholders (other than AOL), prior to, on
or after the Effective Date, Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC may enter into such
transactions and may take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a corporate
restructuring of their respective subsidiaries, to otherwise simplify the overall corporate
structure of Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC, to reincorporate or otherwise amend the
legal form of certain of their subsidiaries or to reincorporate certain of their respective
subsidiaries under the laws of jurisdictions other than the laws of which such subsidiaries are
presently incorporated; provided, however, that no action shall be taken that would cause the
Liquidating LLC or Reorganized AOLA LLC to be treated as other than a partnership or disregarded
entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such restructuring may include one or more mergers,
consolidations, restructures, reincorporations, dispositions, liquidations, or dissolutions, as may
be determined by the Liquidating LLC or Reorganized AOLA LLC to be necessary or appropriate
(collectively, the “Restructuring Transactions”). The actions to effect the Restructuring
Transactions may include (i) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other
documents of merger, consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation, or dissolution
containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the applicable
requirements of applicable state law and such other terms to which the applicable entities may
agree; (ii) the execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment,
assumption, or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms
consistent with the terms of the Plan and having such other terms to which the applicable entities
may agree; (iii) the filing of appropriate certificates or articles of merger, consolidation, or
dissolution pursuant to applicable state law; and (iv) all other actions that the applicable
entities determine to be necessary or appropriate, including making filings or recordings that may
be required by applicable state or foreign law in connection with such transactions. The
Restructuring Transactions may include one or more mergers, consolidations, restructures,
reincorporations, dispositions, liquidations, or dissolutions, as may be determined by the

(including, without limitation, claims and Rights of Action not specifically identified or which
Debtors may presently be unaware or which may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or
circumstances unknown to Debtors at this time or facts or circumstances which may change or be
different from those which Debtors now believe to exist) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine,



27









 







including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue
preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches shall
apply to such claims or Rights of Action upon or after the confirmation or consummation of this
Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, this Plan or the Confirmation Order, except where such
claims or Rights of Action have been expressly released in this Plan or other Final Order. In
addition, the Liquidating LLC expressly reserves the right to pursue or adopt any claims,
cross-claims or counterclaims alleged in any lawsuit in which the Debtors are a defendant or an
interested party, against any person or entity, including, without limitation, the plaintiffs or
co-defendants in such lawsuits, subject to the provisions of this Plan or any Final Order.



     (b) Subject to the terms of any Final Order, any Entity to whom the Debtors have incurred an
obligation (whether on account of services, purchase or sale of goods or otherwise), or who has
received services from the Debtors or a transfer of money or property of the Debtors, or who has
transacted business with the Debtors, or leased equipment or property from the Debtors should
assume that such obligation, transfer, or transaction may be reviewed by the Liquidating LLC
subsequent to the Effective Date and may, if appropriate, be the subject of an action after the
Effective Date, whether or not (i) such Entity has filed a proof of claim against the Debtors in
these Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) such Entity’s proof of claim has been the subject of an objection,
(iii) such Entity’s Claim was included in Debtors’ Schedules, or (iv) such Entity’s scheduled claim
has been objected to by the Debtors or has been identified by the Debtors as disputed, contingent
or unliquidated.



ARTICLE VIII




PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS





			
	Section 8.1	 	Distribution to Creditors








     Subject to the provisions of any Final Order, the Liquidating LLC will make Distributions to
all Holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of this Plan. All Distributions shall
be made by the Liquidating LLC without any requirement for bond or surety with respect thereto.




			
	Section 8.2	 	Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date








     Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, or as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, for
those Claims that are Allowed as of the Effective Date and are entitled to receive Distributions
under this Plan, Distribution shall be made on the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as is
practicable) by the Debtors or the LLC Agents, as applicable. Distributions on account of Claims
that become Allowed after the Effective Date shall be made by the LLC Agents pursuant to the
provisions of this Plan.




			
	Section 8.3	 	Disputed Priority Claims Fund; Disputed General Unsecured Claims Fund; Nonaccepting
Class 4 Claims Fund and Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund








     Subject to Sections 9.4 and 9.5 of the Plan, the Liquidating LLC shall maintain, in accordance
with the Liquidating LLC’s powers and responsibilities under this Plan and the Liquidating LLC
Agreement, (i) the Disputed Priority Claims Fund, (ii) if the LLC Option is elected, the Disputed
General Unsecured Claims Fund and (iii) if the Cash Option is elected, the Nonaccepting Class 4
Claims Fund and the Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund.




			
	Section 8.4	 	Delivery of Distributions








     Subject to the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 2002(g) and except as otherwise provided under
this Plan, Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made at the address of each such
Holder as set forth on the Schedules filed with the Bankruptcy Court unless superseded by the
address set forth on proofs of claim filed by such Holders, or if the Debtors or the Liquidating
LLC have been notified in writing of a change of address.



28









 






			
	Section 8.5	 	Undeliverable Distributions








     (a) Holding of Undeliverable Distributions: If any Distribution to any Holder of an Allowed
Unsecured Claim is returned to the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC as undeliverable, no further
Distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the LLC Agents are notified, in
writing, of such Holder’s then-current address. Subject to Section 8.5(b) of this Plan,
undeliverable Distributions shall remain in the possession of the Liquidating LLC until such time
as a Distribution becomes deliverable. All persons ultimately receiving undeliverable Cash shall
not be entitled to any interest or other accruals of any kind. Nothing contained in this Plan
shall require the Liquidating LLC to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.



     (b) Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions: Within ten (10) Business Days after the
later of the first anniversary of the Effective Date or the first Distribution under this Plan, the
Liquidating LLC shall file a list with the Bankruptcy Court setting forth the names of those
Entities for which Distributions have been attempted hereunder and have been returned as
undeliverable as of the date thereof. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim that does not assert its
rights pursuant to this Plan to receive a Distribution within two (2) months from and after the
filing of such list shall have its Claim for such undeliverable Distribution discharged and shall
be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC. In
such case, any consideration held for Distribution on account of such Claim shall revert to the
Liquidating LLC for Distribution to the beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of this Plan.




			
	Section 8.6	 	Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocation








     (a) In connection with this Plan, to the extent applicable, the LLC Agents in making
Distributions under this Plan shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements
imposed on the Liquidating LLC by any governmental unit, and all Distributions pursuant to this
Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. The LLC Agents may withhold
the entire Distribution due to any Holder of an Allowed Claim until such time as such Holder
provides to the LLC Agents the necessary information to comply with any withholding requirements of
any governmental unit. Any property so withheld will then be paid by the LLC Agents to the
appropriate authority. If the Holder of an Allowed Claim fails to provide to the LLC Agents the
information necessary to comply with any withholding requirements of any governmental unit within
six months after the date of first notification by the LLC Agents to the Holder of the need for
such information or for the Cash necessary to comply with any applicable withholding requirements,
then the Holder’s Distribution shall be treated as an undeliverable Distribution in accordance with
this Plan.



     (b) In connection with the turnover by Time Warner pursuant to Section 5.11(c), the Holders of
the Accepting Class 4 claims and the Cisneros Group Parties shall provide to Time Warner
information necessary to comply with any withholding requirements of any governmental unit, and
failure to provide such information shall cause the turnover to such party to be treated as an
undeliverable Distribution in accordance with this Plan.



     (c) The LLC Agents shall, and shall cause Reorganized AOLA LLC, AOL Spain, AOL Brazil, AOL
Mexico, QuotaHolder and any other Person or Entity whose equity interests are held directly or
indirectly by the Liquidating LLC, to (i) comply with all tax withholding and reporting
requirements imposed on it or them by any governmental unit and (ii) file (or cause to be filed)
returns for the Liquidating LLC as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The
Liquidating LLC Agreement shall set forth allocations of income in accordance with each party’s
economic interest of the Liquidating LLC.



     (d) The holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating LLC (and any transferees), the
Liquidating LLC, the Debtors and Reorganized AOLA LLC intend for the Liquidating LLC to be treated
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and such holders of beneficial interests in
the Liquidating LLC (and any transferees), the Liquidating LLC, the Debtors and Reorganized AOLA
LLC agree that (i) they will take no contrary position for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless
otherwise required by law and (ii) they will not merge, convert or take any action that would cause
the Liquidating LLC or Reorganized AOLA LLC to be treated as other than a partnership or
disregarded entity, as applicable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.



     (e) Unless otherwise required by law, the holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating
LLC (and any transferees), the Liquidating LLC, the Debtors and Reorganized AOLA LLC agree that (i)
the property



29









 







transferred to the Liquidating LLC and the beneficial interests in such Liquidating LLC
distributed by the LLC Agents to such holders will be valued consistently by all holders of
beneficial interests in the Liquidating LLC (and any transferees), the Liquidating LLC, the Debtors
and Reorganized AOLA LLC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) the assumption and assignment
of the PR Agreement and any other contracts or agreements assumed pursuant to this Plan will be
valued consistently by all holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating LLC (and any
transferees), the Liquidating LLC, the Debtors and Reorganized AOLA LLC for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and (iii) the Other PR Assets assigned, conveyed and transferred to AOL (or to such other
TW Party as directed by the TW Parties) will be valued consistently by all holders of beneficial
interests in the Liquidating LLC (and any transferees), the Liquidating LLC, the Debtors and
Reorganized AOLA LLC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.




			
	Section 8.7	 	Fractional Dollars, De Minimis Distributions








     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments of fractions of dollars
will not be made. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a dollar under this Plan would otherwise
be called for, the actual payment made will reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest
dollar (up or down), with half dollars being rounded down. The Liquidating LLC, as successor to
the Debtors shall have the discretion not to make payments of less than twenty-five ($25) dollars
on account of any Allowed Unsecured Claim, unless a specific request is made in writing to the
Liquidating LLC on or before ninety (90) days after Allowance of such Claim. In addition, after
the first Distribution Date, the Liquidating LLC shall not be required to make any Distribution on
account of any Claim in the event that the costs of making such Distribution payment exceed the
amount of such Distribution payment, and all cash that otherwise would have been distributed to the
Holders of such de minimis claims shall otherwise be distributed in accordance with the terms of
this Plan.




			
	Section 8.8	 	Set-Offs and Recoupments








     The Liquidating LLC, as successor to the Debtors may, pursuant to section 553 of the
Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off or recoup against any Allowed Claim and
the Distributions to be made pursuant to this Plan on account thereof (before any Distribution is
made on account of such Claim), the claims, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that the
Debtors may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim. The Holders of Claims may, pursuant to
section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, set off or recoup any Allowed
Claims such Holder possesses against any claim, rights or Causes of Action of any nature that the
Liquidating LLC, as successor to the Debtors, may hold against such Holder. Neither the failure to
effect such a set-off or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a
waiver or release by the Debtors or such Holders of any such claims, rights and Causes of Action
that such parties may possess under section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code.




			
	Section 8.9	 	Time Bar to Cash Payments








     Checks issued by the Liquidating LLC on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if
not negotiated within ninety (90) days from and after the date of issuance thereof. Requests for
reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Liquidating LLC by the Holder of the Allowed
Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued. Any Claim in respect of such a
voided check shall be made on or before the later of (a) the first anniversary of the Effective
Date or (b) ninety (90) days after the date of issuance of such check, if such check represents a
final Distribution hereunder on account of such Claim. After such date, all Claims in respect of
voided checks shall be discharged and forever barred and the right to all moneys from the voided
checks shall revert to the Liquidating LLC for Distribution under this Plan.




			
	Section 8.10	 	Manner of Payment Under Plan of Reorganization








     At the option of the LLC Agents or the Debtors, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be
made by a check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements.



30









 





ARTICLE IX




PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS





			
	Section 9.1	 	Prosecution of Objections to Claims








     (a) Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and a hearing, and except as
set forth in this Plan, the Liquidating LLC shall have the right to make, file and prosecute
objections to Unsecured Claims, Administrative Claims and Priority Claims; provided, that the
Liquidating LLC shall not have the right, power or authority to pursue the Released Claims. The
Liquidating LLC shall have the right to prosecute objections to Claims previously filed by the
Debtors. All Disputed Claims shall be determined, resolved or adjudicated in the manner in which
such Claim would have been determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been
commenced, unless the LLC Agents, at their election, choose to determine, resolve or adjudicate
such Disputed Claim in the Bankruptcy Court.



     (b) Unless another time is set by order of the Bankruptcy Court, all objections to Claims
shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served upon the Holders of each of the Claims to which
objections are made by the later of (a) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date; or (b) ninety
(90) days after a timely Proof of Claim or request for payment with respect to such Claim is filed;
provided, however, that the Liquidating LLC may seek an extension of such time to object.



     (c) Except as set forth in this Plan, nothing in this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the
Confirmation Order or any order in aid of Confirmation, shall constitute, or be deemed to
constitute, a waiver or release of any claim, cause of action, right of setoff, or other legal or
equitable defense that Debtors had immediately prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases,
against or with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest. Except as set forth in this Plan, upon
Confirmation, the Debtors shall have, retain, reserve and be entitled to assert all such claims,
Causes of Action, rights of setoff and other legal or equitable defenses of the Debtors, which
shall be vested in and assigned to the Liquidating LLC as of the Effective Date.




			
	Section 9.2	 	Estimation of Claims








     The Liquidating LLC may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any
contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of
whether the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC previously objected to such Claim or whether the
Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction
to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim,
including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the
Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount will
constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim (including
for purposes of determining the Disputed Priority Claims Fund, Disputed General Unsecured Claims
Fund, Nonaccepting Class 4 Claims Fund and Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund, as applicable), as
determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on
such Claim, the Liquidating LLC may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any
ultimate payment on such Claim.




			
	Section 9.3	 	Cumulative Remedies








     All of the aforementioned Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures are
cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently
compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved or provided herein or by any mechanism approved by the
Bankruptcy Court. Until such time as such a Claim becomes Allowed, such Claim shall be treated as
a Disputed Claim for purposes related to allocations, Distributions and voting under this Plan.




			
	Section 9.4	 	Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims








     (a) Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise agreed by
the LLC Agents in their sole discretion, no partial payments and no partial distributions will be
made with respect to a



31









 







Disputed Claim until the resolution of such dispute by settlement or Final Order. Subject to
the provisions of this Article IX, as soon as practicable after a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed
Claim, the Holder of such Allowed Claim will receive all payments and Distributions to which such
Holder is then entitled under the Plan as the Holder of an Allowed Claim. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Person or Entity who holds both an Allowed Claim(s) and a Disputed Claim(s) will
receive the appropriate payment or distribution on the Allowed Claim(s), although, except as
otherwise agreed by the Liquidating LLC in its sole discretion, no payment or distribution will be
made on the Disputed Claim(s) until such dispute is resolved by settlement or Final Order.



     (b) Following the resolution of a dispute by settlement or Final Order pursuant to Section
9.4(a), if a Disputed Priority Claim becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date, the amount
of the Disputed Priority Claims Fund attributable to such Disputed Priority Claim shall be released
from the Disputed Priority Claims Fund for purposes of making Distributions as required by the Plan
to the Holder of such Allowed Claim and any excess shall constitute Available Cash. If a Disputed
Priority Claim becomes Disallowed after the Effective Date, the entire amount of the Disputed
Priority Claims Fund attributable to such Disputed Priority Claim shall constitute Available Cash.



     (c) If the Debtors elect the LLC Option and if a Disputed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim
becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date following the resolution of a dispute by
settlement or Final Order pursuant to Section 9.4(a), the amount of the Disputed General Unsecured
Claims Fund attributable to such Disputed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim shall be released from
the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Fund for purposes of making Distributions as required by the
Plan to the Holder of such Allowed Claim and any excess shall constitute Available Cash. If a
Disputed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim becomes Disallowed after the Effective Date, the entire
amount of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Fund attributable to such Disputed Class 4 General
Unsecured Claim shall constitute Available Cash.



     (d) If the Debtors elect the Cash Option and if a Disputed Accepting Class 4 Claim becomes an
Allowed Claim after the Effective Date following the resolution of a dispute by settlement or Final
Order pursuant to Section 9.4(a), the amount of the Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund attributable to
such Accepting Class 4 Claim shall be released from the Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund for purposes
of making Distributions as required by the Plan to the Holder of such Allowed Accepting Class 4
Claim and any excess shall constitute Available Cash. If a Disputed Accepting Class 4 Claim
becomes Disallowed after the Effective Date, the entire amount of the Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund
attributable to such Disputed Accepting Class 4 Claim shall constitute Available Cash.



     (e) If the Debtors elect the Cash Option and if a Disputed Nonaccepting Class 4 Claim becomes
an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date following the resolution of a dispute by settlement or
Final Order pursuant to Section 9.4(a), the amount of the Nonaccepting Class 4 Claims Fund
attributable to such Disputed Nonaccepting Class 4 Claim shall be released from the Nonaccepting
Class 4 Claims Fund for purposes of making Distributions as required by the Plan to the Holder of
such Allowed Claim and any excess shall constitute Available Cash. If a Disputed Nonaccepting
Class 4 Claim becomes Disallowed after the Effective Date, the entire amount of the Nonaccepting
Class 4 Claims Fund attributable to such Disputed Nonaccepting Class 4 Claim shall constitute
Available Cash.




			
	Section 9.5	 	Allowance of Claims








     (a) Disallowance of Claims: Pursuant to sections 105 and 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, no
Distributions will be made to Holders of Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable
under sections 542, 543, 550, 553, 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549 or 724(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code (including the Rights of Action) until such time as such Causes of Action against
that Entity have been settled or resolved by a Final Order and all sums due to the respective
Debtor or the Liquidating LLC are turned over to the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC. Until such
time as any such claim has been settled or resolved by Final Order, the Liquidating LLC shall
maintain a reserve in respect of such claim in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof.



     (b) Allowance of Claims: Except as expressly provided in this Plan, no Claim shall be deemed
Allowed by virtue of this Plan, Confirmation, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter
11 Cases, unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed under the Bankruptcy Code.

Ladies and Gentlemen:




     The purpose of this letter is to confirm our understandings and agreements relating to the
payment of certain post-petition costs and expenses associated with the wind-down of America Online
Latin America, Inc. (“AOLA”) and its subsidiaries (the “Wind-Down”).



     As you know, AOLA and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) are
debtors in a jointly administered chapter 11 case pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware. On or about January 17, 2006, the Debtors intend to file a Joint Plan of
Reorganization and Liquidation (the “Plan”) which will provide for the implementation of
the Wind-Down. Pursuant to the Wind-Down, certain of AOLA’s non-Debtor subsidiaries, including AOL
S. de R.L. de C.V. (“AOL Mexico”) and AOL Brasil Ltda. (“AOL Brazil”), will be
liquidated and/or dissolved in accordance with applicable local laws. America Online, Inc.
(“AOL”) is expected to incur actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in assisting AOLA, AOL
Mexico and AOL Brazil in their efforts to terminate service, discontinue customers, and shut down
operations in connection with the Wind-Down of AOL Mexico and AOL Brazil, as set forth in an
estimate delivered by AOL to AOLA (the “Wind-Down Costs”). The parties hereto have agreed
that AOL will be reimbursed for the Wind-Down Costs in a manner consistent with the following terms
and conditions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Plan.



 









 





     • All payments made by AOL Mexico and/or AOL Brazil to AOL hereunder shall be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any governmental authority (“Taxes”), excluding any
Taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which AOL is organized or is located, or in which its
principal executive office is located or by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction
imposing such Tax and AOL other than in connection with AOL having executed, delivered or performed
its obligations hereunder or performed activities described herein (“Non-Excluded Taxes”);
provided, that if any such Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from, or
otherwise deducted from, any amounts payable to AOL hereunder, the amounts so payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Non-Excluded Taxes
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph), AOL receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.



     • If any applicable law requires AOL Mexico and/or AOL Brazil to withhold or deduct any
amounts from any Wind-Down Costs paid to AOL hereunder, AOL Mexico and/or AOL Brazil shall effect
such withholding, remit such amounts to the appropriate governmental authorities and deliver to
AOL, within thirty (30) days of payment of such amounts to the governmental authorities, the
original or a certified copy of a tax receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing the
payment of any such amounts.



     • AOL Mexico and AOL Brazil shall indemnify AOL, within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid by or with respect to AOL on or with
respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of AOL hereunder (including Non-Excluded
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this paragraph) and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
governmental authority; provided, that AOL shall cooperate with AOL Mexico and AOL Brazil
to contest such Non-Excluded Taxes at the reasonable request of AOL Mexico and/or AOL Brazil.



     • If AOL receives a refund in respect of any amounts paid by AOL Mexico or AOL Brazil
hereunder, which refund in the sole discretion of AOL is allocable to such payment, AOL shall
promptly notify AOLA of such refund and shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt, repay such
refund and any interest with respect thereto (net of any Taxes payable thereon, taking into account
any offsetting deductions, with respect to such refund and interest received with respect thereto)
to AOLA net of all out-of-pocket expenses of AOL; provided, that AOLA, upon the request of
AOL, agrees to repay the amount paid over to AOLA to AOL in the event that AOL is required to repay
such refund and/or interest.



     • Upon reasonable request by AOLA, AOL Mexico or AOL Brazil, and as permitted by applicable
law, AOL shall deliver to such party properly completed and executed documentation so as to
effectuate the terms of this letter and to permit any payments made hereunder to be made without
withholding of Taxes or at a reduced rate.



 









 





     • AOL Mexico agrees, and AOLA agrees to cause AOL Mexico, to reimburse AOL in an amount up to
$300,000 for Wind-Down Costs incurred by AOL in connection with the shut-down of AOL Mexico (the
“AOL Mexico Wind-Down Costs”). AOL will be reimbursed for any AOL Mexico Wind-Down Costs
(up to the $300,000 cap) as and when services resulting in AOL Mexico Wind-Down Costs are performed
and billed to AOL Mexico. AOL and AOLA agree to cooperate to produce a separate agreement between
AOL and AOL Mexico and all other documentation reasonably required to ensure optimal
externalization of funds in respect of the payment of the AOL Mexico Wind-Down Costs. AOL agrees
to take reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the amount of the AOL Mexico Wind-Down Costs and
only to charge AOL Mexico for actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the shut-down of AOL Mexico.



     • AOL Brazil agrees, and AOLA agrees to cause AOL Brazil, to reimburse AOL in an
amount up to $1,004,000 for Wind-Down Costs incurred by AOL in connection with the shut-down of AOL
Brazil (the “AOL Brazil Wind-Down Costs”). AOL will be reimbursed for any AOL Brazil
Wind-Down Costs (up to the $1,004,000 cap) as and when services resulting in AOL Brazil Wind-Down
Costs are performed and billed to AOL Brazil. AOL and AOLA agree to cooperate to produce a
separate agreement between AOL and AOL Brazil and all other documentation reasonably required to
ensure optimal externalization of funds in respect of the payment of the AOL Brazil Wind-Down
Costs. AOL agrees to take reasonable commercial efforts to minimize the amount of the AOL Brazil
Wind-Down Costs and to only charge AOL Brazil for actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the shut-down of AOL Brazil and, to the extent AOL’s actual out-of-pocket costs
and expenses depend upon negotiations with third parties, to take reasonable commercial efforts to
minimize the amount of such costs.



     • To the extent that any payments hereunder have not been paid as and when required
by either AOL Mexico or AOL Brazil (the “Unpaid Costs”), AOLA shall pay the amount of the
Unpaid Costs to AOL from Available Cash (after payment or reservation of amounts necessary to pay
distributions on account of the Series A-1 Beneficial Interests and the Series A-2 Beneficial
Interests, if the LLC Option is elected) on a par with amounts payable on account of the Series C
Beneficial Interests, at the rate of 50% of such Available Cash to AOL, on the one hand, and 50% of
such Available Cash to the holders of the Series C Beneficial Interests, on the other hand, until
any such Unpaid Costs are paid in full.



     • Each of AOLA, AOL Mexico and AOL Brazil represents and warrants, severally and not jointly,
as to itself and not as to any other entity, that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
letter agreement and that each of its obligations hereunder are valid, binding and enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, subject to, in the case of (i) AOLA, the occurrence of the
Effective Date or entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (which may be the Confirmation Order)
authorizing this letter agreement, and (ii) AOL Mexico and/or AOL Brazil, applicable foreign
exchange regulations and bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance
and other similar laws of general application affecting creditors’ rights.
