Plan and AOL Workers Compensation Plan, and shall be equitably apportioned between them based upon the relative periods of time that the Workers Compensation Event transpired preceding and following the TWX Transferred Employee Transfer Time or the
TWX Retained Employee Transfer Time, as applicable. 
 SECTION 5.05. COBRA and HIPAA. Effective as of the AOL Employee
Transfer Time, AOL shall assume all Liabilities of the TWX Welfare Plans and the members of the TWX Group to Post-Separation AOL Employees, Former AOL LLC Employees and their eligible dependents, in respect of COBRA and any applicable similar state
Laws. Without limiting the generality of Section 13.03, AOL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the members of the TWX Group from and against any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from COBRA provided by
AOL, or the failure of AOL to meet its COBRA obligations, to Post-Separation AOL Employees, Former AOL LLC Employees and their eligible dependents. Notwithstanding Section 13.03 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
in the event of any violation of HIPAA, whether occurring prior to, at or after the AOL Employee Transfer Time, the members of the TWX Group shall be solely liable for any such violations resulting from any action by a member of the TWX Group or any
employee of a member of the TWX Group, and the members of the AOL Group shall be solely liable for any such violations resulting from any action by a member of the AOL Group or any employee of a member of the AOL Group.

 ARTICLE VI 
 Defined Benefit Pension Plans 
 SECTION 6.01. TWX Pension Plans.
Effective as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, each Post-Separation AOL Employee who is a participant, as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, in one or more TWX Benefit Plans that are defined benefit pension plans, whether or not tax-qualified (each
such plan, a “TWX Pension Plan”), including the TWX Excess Benefit Pension Plan, shall cease active participation in such TWX Pension Plans and, without limiting the generality of Section 2.05 or the first sentence of
Section 4.01, service with any member of the AOL Group or any other employer other than any member of the TWX Group from and after the AOL Employee Transfer Time shall not be taken into account for any purpose under such TWX Pension
Plans, except for purposes of determining the timing of the payment of compensation or the provision of benefits under any TWX Pension Plan, to the extent that such payment or provision is triggered under such TWX Pension Plan by a Post-Separation
AOL Employee’s separation from service from the AOL Group. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, following the AOL Employee Transfer Time, TWX or its applicable Subsidiaries shall retain, or shall cause the applicable
TWX Pension Plans to retain, sponsorship of each TWX Pension Plan and all Assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to each TWX Pension Plan, and shall make payments to Post-Separation AOL Employees and former employees of any member of the
AOL Group with vested rights thereunder and their applicable beneficiaries, in accordance with the terms of the applicable TWX Pension Plans, as in effect from time to time. The obligations of the members of the AOL Group to provide information to
the members of the TWX Group in connection with the payment of benefits to the AOL Employees pursuant to the TWX Pension Plans are set forth in Section 14.01. 
 SECTION 6.02. Vesting of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, TWX shall take all steps necessary, including amending any TWX Pension
Plan, so that, as of the Distribution Date, each Post-Separation AOL Employee shall be fully vested in his or her benefits under each TWX Pension Plan in which such Post-Separation AOL Employee participated while an employee of a member of the TWX
Group. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 U.S. Tax-Qualified Savings/401(k) Plan 
 SECTION 7.01. AOL 401(k)
Plan. Effective as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, AOL shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, have in effect a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the
Code (the “AOL 401(k) Plan”) providing benefits as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time to the AOL LLC Employees participating in any tax-qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by any member of the TWX Group (collectively, the
“TWX 401(k) Plan”) immediately prior to the AOL Employee Transfer Time. 








 24 
  

 SECTION 7.02. Trust-to-Trust Transfers. At the AOL Employee Transfer Time, or at such
later time as may be mutually agreed upon by TWX and AOL, a member of the TWX Group shall cause to be transferred from the TWX 401(k) Plan to the AOL 401(k) Plan the Assets and Liabilities relating to (a) the account balances of the AOL LLC
Employees (whether vested or unvested as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time), (b) the account balances or portions thereof of the Former AOL LLC Employees who are not Recently Terminated Former AOL LLC Employees that are vested as of the AOL
Employee Transfer Time and (c) the account balances or portions thereof of the Recently Terminated Former AOL LLC Employees that are vested or unvested as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, in each case, in accordance with the applicable
requirements of all applicable Laws, including the Code. From and after the time that the transfer is complete, as described in the immediately preceding sentence, a member of the AOL Group shall administer the accounts of AOL LLC Employees, TWX
Transferred Employees and Former AOL LLC Employees in the AOL 401(k) Plan in accordance with all applicable Laws, including the Code. Except as otherwise provided for in this Section 7.02, such transfer of Assets shall consist of cash,
cash equivalents or participant loan receivables equal to all the accrued benefit Liabilities relating to all account balances referred to in the first sentence of this Section 7.02, including such Liabilities for the beneficiaries of
the AOL LLC Employees and the Former AOL LLC Employees and including such accrued benefit Liabilities arising under any applicable qualified domestic relations order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the AOL 401(k) Plan provides for
an investment option listed on Schedule 7.02 hereto, transfers relating to TWX 401(k) balances invested in such investment option will be made in kind. A member of the AOL Group shall direct the trustee of the AOL 401(k) Plan to accept such
transfers of Assets and Liabilities from the TWX 401(k) Plan. No later than 30 days prior to the date of the transfer of Assets and Liabilities pursuant to this Section 7.02, TWX shall, to the extent necessary and with the cooperation of
AOL as necessary, file Internal Revenue Service Form 5310-A regarding such transfer of Assets and Liabilities from the TWX 401(k) Plan to the AOL 401(k) Plan, as described in this Section 7.02. At the AOL Employee Transfer Time, or
such later date upon which the transfers of Assets and Liabilities contemplated by this Section 7.02 are completed, a member of the AOL Group shall direct the trustee of the AOL 401(k) Plan to, and the trustee shall, fully and
immediately vest the transferred account balances of all AOL LLC Employees and TWX Transferred Employees (but not the account balances of any Recently Terminated Former AOL LLC Employee) in the AOL 401(k) Plan. Following the foregoing transfer, AOL
and/or the AOL 401(k) Plan shall assume all Liabilities of the TWX Group under the TWX 401(k) Plan with respect to all participants in the TWX 401(k) Plan whose balances were transferred to the AOL 401(k) Plan and their beneficiaries pursuant to
such transfer, and the TWX Group and the TWX 401(k) Plan shall have no Liabilities to provide such participants with benefits under the TWX 401(k) Plan following such transfer. TWX and AOL shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any
“blackout period” imposed in connection with each transfer of account balances from the TWX 401(k) Plan to the AOL 401(k) Plan. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 13.03, from and after the AOL Employee Transfer Time,
the TWX 401(k) Plan shall retain liability and responsibility for the unvested account balances or portions thereof of each Former AOL LLC Employee who is not a Recently Terminated Former AOL LLC Employee. 








 25 
  

 SECTION 7.03. Employer 401(k) Plan Contributions. Following the end of the calendar
year in which the Distribution Date occurs, AOL and TWX shall cooperate in good faith to contribute (in accordance with ERISA, the Code and the relevant terms of the TWX 401(k) Plan and the AOL 401(k) Plan), to the account of any AOL LLC Employee
whose account balance was transferred from the TWX 401(k) Plan to the AOL 401(k) Plan in accordance with Section 7.02 the prorated amount of any additional employer contributions that such AOL LLC Employee would otherwise be eligible to
receive under the TWX 401(k) Plan based on his or her deferral of eligible compensation (as defined in the TWX 401(k) Plan) received from a member of the AOL Group or a member of the TWX Group prior to the AOL Employee Transfer Time and during the
calendar year in which the AOL Employee Transfer Time occurs. TWX shall treat the AOL LLC Employees consistently with the employees of the members of the TWX Group for purposes of allocating forfeitures of account balances, or any portion thereof,
under the TWX 401(k) Plan to the AOL LLC Employees. Following the end of the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs, if a TWX Retained Employee would otherwise be eligible for any additional employer contributions (in accordance with
the TWX 401(k) Plan) for the calendar year in which the applicable TWX Retained Employee Transfer Time occurs, a member of the TWX Group will contribute (or allocate a portion of the forfeitures held by the TWX 401(k) Plan) to each such TWX Retained
Employee’s account under the TWX 401(k) Plan the prorated amount of any such additional employer contributions to which the TWX Retained Employee is entitled based on his or her deferral of eligible compensation (as defined in the TWX 401(k)
Plan) received from a member of the AOL Group up to but not including the applicable TWX Retained Employee Transfer Time (collectively, the “TWX Retained Employee 401(k) Contributions”), provided that such TWX Retained Employee is
employed by the TWX Group on the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable TWX Retained Employee Transfer Time occurred. The obligations of the members of the AOL Group to reimburse such member of the TWX Group with respect to the TWX
Retained Employee 401(k) Contributions in excess of forfeiture allocations are set forth in Section 15.01. 
 SECTION 7.04. Limitation of Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, TWX shall have no responsibility for any failure of AOL to properly administer the AOL 401(k) Plan in accordance with its terms and applicable Law, including without
limitation any failure to properly administer the accounts of Post-Separation AOL Employees and their beneficiaries in such AOL 401(k) Plan, and, without limiting the generality of Section 13.03, AOL shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the TWX 401(k) Plan and the members of the TWX Group from and against any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from any such failure. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 Deferred Compensation 
 SECTION 8.01. Employee Deferred Compensation. AOL and TWX hereby acknowledge that each AOL LLC Employee and Former AOL LLC Employee
whose name is set forth on Schedule 8.01(A), 8.01(B) or 8.01(C) (i) has an outstanding deferred compensation account balance under a TWX Nonqualified Plan or (ii) is an









 26 
  

 
individual to whom AOL LLC has nonqualified deferred compensation Liabilities, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement, and no other AOL LLC Employee or Former AOL LLC Employee has an
outstanding deferred compensation account balance under a TWX Nonqualified Plan or is an individual to whom AOL LLC has nonqualified deferred compensation Liabilities. 
 SECTION 8.02. Retention of TWX Deferred Compensation Obligations. Notwithstanding Section 2.05 or any provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, from and
after the AOL Employee Transfer Time, TWX shall retain, or cause any member of the TWX Group to retain, all Assets and all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the TWX Nonqualified Plans, and all trusts relating to such TWX Benefit Plans,
including any grantor or “rabbi trust”, and shall make payments to all Post-Separation AOL Employees or Former AOL LLC Employees listed on Schedule 8.01(A) or 8.01(B) and their respective beneficiaries in accordance with
the terms of the applicable plan. The members of the AOL Group shall not be required to reimburse the members of the TWX Group with respect to the deferred compensation accounts for any Post-Separation AOL Employee or Former AOL LLC Employee listed
on Schedule 8.01(A). The Deferred Compensation Payable shall be treated as a Qualified Intercompany Account, as set forth on Schedule IV of the Separation Agreement. From and after the completion of the Payables Transactions, the members of
the AOL Group shall have no obligations to reimburse the members of the TWX Group with respect to any deferred compensation accounts that relate to any AOL LLC Employee or Former AOL LLC Employee listed on Schedule 8.01(A) or Schedule
8.01(B). The obligations of the members of the AOL Group to provide information to the members of the TWX Group in connection with the payment of benefits to AOL Employees pursuant to the TWX Nonqualified Plans are set forth in
Section 14.01. 
 SECTION 8.03. Retention of AOL LLC Deferred Compensation Obligations. Notwithstanding
Section 2.01 or any other provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, from and after the AOL Employee Transfer 
 Time, AOL LLC shall retain all Assets and all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the deferred compensation account or accounts maintained by AOL LLC on behalf of any Former AOL LLC Employee listed on Schedule 8.01(C), and
shall make payments to such individuals pursuant to the terms of the applicable agreement. The Deferred Compensation Payable shall be treated as a Qualified Intercompany Account, as set forth on Schedule IV of the Separation Agreement. From and
after the completion of the Payables Transactions, the members of the AOL Group shall have no obligations to reimburse the members of the TWX Group with respect to any such deferred compensation accounts. 
 SECTION 8.04. No Distributions on Separation. TWX and AOL acknowledge that neither the Separation nor any of the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Separation Agreement will trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under any TWX Nonqualified Plan or other deferred compensation account for any Post-Separation AOL Employee and, consequently, that the
payment or distribution of any compensation to which any Post-Separation AOL Employee is entitled under any TWX Nonqualified Plan will occur upon such Post-Separation AOL









 27 
  

 
Employee’s separation from service from the AOL Group or at such other time as provided in such TWX Nonqualified Plan or such AOL Employee’s deferral election. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if TWX and AOL reasonably determine that the Separation or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Separation Agreement will trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under any TWX Nonqualified Plan or other
deferred compensation account for any Post-Separation AOL Employee, TWX and AOL shall cooperate in good faith so that neither the Separation nor any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Separation Agreement will trigger
any such payment or distribution; provided, however, that neither TWX nor AOL shall be required to take any action to the extent that such action would cause any TWX Nonqualified Plan or other deferred compensation account or payment
thereunder to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code. 
 SECTION 8.05. Section 409A. TWX and AOL shall
cooperate in good faith so that the Separation will not result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code to any current or former employee of any member of the TWX Group or any member of the AOL Group, or their respective
beneficiaries, in respect of his or her benefits under any TWX Benefit Plan or AOL Benefit Plan. 
 SECTION 8.06. Tax
Withholding and Reporting. Notwithstanding Section 19.03, TWX shall be responsible for the withholding and reporting of Taxes required to be withheld or reported in connection with payments made pursuant to Sections 8.02 and
8.03, and no member of the AOL Group shall have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 8.07.
Limited Indemnification. From and after the AOL Employee Transfer Time, (i) the members of the TWX Group shall be solely liable for all deferred compensation payments to the AOL LLC Employees and the Former AOL LLC Employees pursuant to
the TWX Nonqualified Plans and (ii) AOL LLC shall be solely liable for all payments to any Former AOL LLC Employee with respect to the deferred compensation account or accounts for any Former AOL LLC Employee listed on
Schedule 8.01(C) and, notwithstanding Section 13.03 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the members of the AOL Group shall not be obligated to indemnify the members of the TWX Group for Liabilities
relating thereto, except to the extent that any such Liabilities relate to actions by a member of the AOL Group, whether occurring before, at or after the AOL Employee Transfer Time (including, without limitation, any failure by a member of the AOL
Group to provide the members of the TWX Group with true and accurate information that is necessary for the proper administration of the TWX Nonqualified Plans and the deferred compensation account or accounts for any Former AOL LLC Employee listed
on Schedule 8.01(C)). 
 ARTICLE IX 
 Flexible Spending Arrangements 
 SECTION 9.01. Flexible Spending
Arrangements. Effective as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, AOL shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, have in effect









 28 
  

 
flexible spending arrangements under a cafeteria plan qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (“AOL Cafeteria Plan”). Promptly following the AOL Employee Transfer Time, with
respect to each individual who, as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, is an AOL LLC Employee, a Former AOL LLC Employee or a Transferred Entity Employee, and who has a flexible spending arrangement under the cafeteria plan sponsored by TWX or any of
its Affiliates (the “TWX Cafeteria Plan”), TWX shall transfer to AOL all relevant records relating to flexible spending arrangements of such AOL LLC Employees, Former AOL LLC Employees and Transferred Entity Employees under the TWX
Cafeteria Plan and any other information necessary for the administration of the AOL Cafeteria Plan with respect to such flexible spending arrangements. AOL shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, cause the AOL Cafeteria Plan to accept, effective
as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, a spin-off of the flexible spending arrangements of individuals who, as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, are AOL LLC Employees, Former AOL LLC Employees and Transferred Entity Employees and who have a flexible
spending arrangement under the TWX Cafeteria Plan, from the TWX Cafeteria Plan, and to honor and continue, through the end of the plan year in which the AOL Employee Transfer Time occurs, the elections made by each such employee with respect to a
flexible spending arrangement under the TWX Cafeteria Plan for such plan year. Notwithstanding the second sentence of Section 5.03 above, from and after the AOL Employee Transfer Time, the AOL Group shall assume and be solely responsible for
all flexible spending arrangement claims by all individuals whose flexible spending arrangements transferred pursuant to this Section 9.01 under the TWX Cafeteria Plan that were incurred in the year in which the AOL Employee Transfer Time
occurs, whether incurred prior to, at or after the AOL Employee Transfer Time, that have not been paid in full as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time. 
 ARTICLE X 
 Transportation Reimbursement Accounts 
 SECTION 10.01. Transportation Reimbursement Accounts. Effective as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, AOL shall, or shall cause its
Affiliates to, have in effect a transportation reimbursement account plan (the “AOL TRA Plan”). Promptly following the AOL Employee Transfer Time, TWX shall transfer to AOL all relevant records relating to accounts of AOL Employees
under the transportation reimbursement account plan sponsored by TWX or any of its Affiliates (the “TWX TRA Plan”) and any other information necessary for the administration of the AOL TRA Plan with respect to such accounts. AOL
shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, cause the AOL TRA Plan to accept, effective as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, a spin-off of the accounts of individuals who, as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time, are AOL Employees and who have an account
under the TWX TRA Plan, from the TWX TRA Plan, and to honor and continue, through the end of the plan year in which the AOL Employee Transfer Time occurs, the elections made by each such employee with respect to an account under the TWX TRA Plan for
such plan year. Notwithstanding the second sentence of Section 5.03 above, from and after the AOL Employee Transfer Time, the AOL Group shall assume and be solely responsible for all claims by all individuals whose accounts transferred









 29 
  

 
pursuant to this Section 10.01 under the TWX TRA Plan that were incurred in the year in which the AOL Employee Transfer Time occurs, whether incurred prior to, at or after the AOL Employee
Transfer Time, that have not been paid in full as of the AOL Employee Transfer Time. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 Vacation 
 SECTION 11.01. Vacation. Promptly following the relevant TWX Transferred Employee Transfer Time, TWX shall make a cash payment to each TWX Transferred Employee for any vacation or annual leave days accrued or earned for the year in
which the TWX Transferred Employee Transfer Time occurs, but not yet used by such TWX Transferred Employee as of the TWX Transferred Employee Transfer Time. AOL shall not assume any Liability for such vacation or annual leave days. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 TWX
Equity Compensation Awards 
 SECTION 12.01. General Treatment of Outstanding TWX Equity Compensation Awards.
Notwithstanding Section 2.05 or any other provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, on and following the Distribution Date, each outstanding option to purchase TWX Common Stock (“TWX
Option”) and each performance stock unit (“TWX PSU”) and restricted stock unit (“TWX RSU”) payable in shares of TWX Common Stock or the value of which is determined by reference to the value of shares of
TWX Common Stock, in each case that was granted under or pursuant to any equity compensation plan of TWX (each such TWX Option, TWX PSU or TWX RSU, a “TWX Equity Compensation Award”), that, on the Distribution Date, is held by any
AOL Employee, shall be treated as provided in the equity compensation plan under which such TWX Equity Compensation Award was granted, the award agreement governing such TWX Equity Compensation Award and any employment agreement to which such AOL
Employee is a party, as in effect on the Distribution Date; provided, however, that, except as set forth in Section 12.02 below, any such TWX Equity Compensation Award that is not forfeited by its holder as a result of the
Distribution shall be adjusted to reflect the Distribution in the same manner, if any, as similar TWX Equity Compensation Awards held by employees of the TWX Group immediately prior to the Distribution (other than TWX Transferred Employees) are
adjusted, as determined in the sole discretion of TWX; provided further, however, that TWX may amend any such TWX Equity Compensation Award in any manner that TWX determines is necessary in order to avoid additional Taxes and penalties
under Section 409A of the Code. TWX hereby acknowledges that each Post-Separation AOL Employee who, as of the Distribution Date, meets the eligibility requirements for retirement treatment in the event of a voluntary termination of employment
with respect to any TWX Equity Compensation Award held by such Post-Separation AOL Employee as of the Distribution Date, as determined under the applicable equity compensation plan or award agreement, will, in connection with the Distribution,
receive the benefit of any









 30 
  

 
provisions of such equity compensation plan or award agreement that provide for accelerated vesting of such TWX Equity Compensation Award or an extended time period to exercise any such TWX
Equity Compensation Award that is a vested TWX Option in connection with a termination of employment due to retirement. As soon as practicable following the payment by TWX of a cash dividend with respect to TWX Common Stock that is paid on or after
the Distribution, AOL shall pay each AOL Employee with an outstanding TWX RSU any TWX Dividend Equivalents payable pursuant to such award (less any Taxes that are withheld), and TWX shall not be obligated to pay such AOL Employee such TWX Dividend
Equivalent. 
 SECTION 12.02. Treatment of Outstanding TWX Equity Compensation Awards Held by Timothy M. Armstrong.
Notwithstanding any provision of Section 12.01 to the contrary, subject to any required action by the AOL board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) in accordance with the Employment Agreement, dated March 12, 2009, by and
among Timothy M. Armstrong (“Armstrong”), AOL LLC and TWX (the “Armstrong Employment Agreement”), effective immediately upon the Distribution, each outstanding TWX Option, whether vested or unvested, that is held,
immediately prior to the Distribution, by Armstrong shall be converted into an option (each, a “Converted AOL Option”) to acquire shares of AOL Common Stock, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under
such TWX Option (other than with respect to exercise price and the number and type of shares covered thereby), the number of shares at the exercise price per share that will allow such option to have a “fair value” and an “intrinsic
value” (in each case, within the meaning of FAS 123R and determined in accordance therewith), as of immediately following the Distribution, that shall be identical to the fair value and intrinsic value of such TWX Option immediately prior to
the Distribution. The adjustments provided in this Section 12.02 with respect to any TWX Options, whether or not they are “incentive stock options”, as defined in Section 422 of the Code, are intended to be effected in a manner that
is consistent with Section 424(a) and Section 409A of the Code. Furthermore, subject to any required action by the AOL board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) in accordance with the Armstrong Employment Agreement, effective
immediately upon the Distribution, each outstanding TWX RSU, whether vested or unvested, that is held, immediately prior to the Distribution, by Armstrong shall be converted into a restricted stock unit with respect to shares of AOL Common Stock
(such restricted stock units, the “Converted AOL RSUs”), on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such TWX RSU (other than with respect to the number and type of shares covered thereby), with respect
to the number of shares that will allow such restricted stock unit to have a “fair value” and an “intrinsic value” (in each case, within the meaning of FAS 123R and determined in accordance therewith), as of immediately following
the Distribution, that shall be identical to the fair value and intrinsic value of such TWX RSU immediately prior to the Distribution. Effective immediately upon the Distribution, AOL shall assume all Liabilities related to the TWX Options and TWX
RSUs (as Converted AOL Options and Converted AOL RSUs) and, from and after the Distribution, no member of the TWX Group shall have any Liabilities with respect thereto. The AOL board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) shall take
all reasonable steps as may be required to cause the transactions 








 31 
  

 contemplated by this Section 12.02 to be exempt from Section 16 of the Exchange Act under Rule 16b-3
promulgated thereunder. 
 SECTION 12.03. Payable. The TWX Equity Award Payable shall be treated as a Qualified
Intercompany Account, as set forth in Schedule IV of the Separation Agreement. 
 SECTION 12.04. Tax Withholding and
Reporting. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.04, (i) in the case of any TWX RSUs that are subject to Tax withholding upon vesting, upon the vesting of any such TWX RSUs held by AOL Employees that are not forfeited upon the
Distribution Date, TWX shall reduce the number of TWX RSUs held by each AOL Employee by a number of TWX RSUs having a Fair Market Value equal to the employee-paid portion of any Taxes (including any Social Security and Medicare Taxes) required to be
withheld upon vesting of such TWX RSUs and (ii) upon exercise or settlement, as applicable, of any TWX Equity Compensation Award, a member of the TWX Group shall withhold from the number of shares of TWX Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
relevant AOL Employee a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the employee-paid portion of any Taxes required to be withheld upon vesting of such TWX Equity Compensation Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the procedures
described in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence are prohibited by applicable Law, TWX and AOL shall cooperate in good faith to determine alternative procedures with respect to such awards in order to fulfill all required
withholding and reporting obligations in compliance with applicable Law. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, without limiting the generality of Section 19.03 and notwithstanding any provision of this Section 12.04, the
members of the AOL Group shall be solely responsible for all obligations relating to reporting of Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and remitting the amounts of any such Taxes required to be withheld (including any Social Security, Medicare
or unemployment Taxes) to the appropriate taxing authority in connection with the exercise, vesting or settlement of any TWX Equity Compensation Awards and the payment of any TWX Dividend Equivalents, and no member of the TWX Group shall have any
responsibility or liability with respect thereto, other than (A) the obligations of the members of TWX Group to notify the members of the AOL Group about amounts withheld by members of the TWX Group in connection with the exercise, vesting or
settlement of any TWX Equity Compensation Awards and the amounts paid by TWX in respect of any cash dividend on TWX Common Stock that would entitle any AOL Employee to a TWX Dividend Equivalent (in each case, as set forth in Section 14.01),
and (B) the obligations of the members of the TWX Group to make payments to the members of the AOL Group in respect of the TWX Dividend Equivalent Reimbursement Amounts and the TWX Option Tax Withholding Reimbursement Amounts (as set forth in
Section 15.02). The obligations of the members of the AOL Group and the TWX Group to provide information to the other Party in order to allow the administration of the TWX Equity Compensation Awards pursuant to this Article XII are set forth
in Section 14.01. 
 SECTION 12.05. Reports. For so long as any TWX Equity Compensation Award is outstanding and
held by an AOL Employee, TWX shall provide AOL with the reports listed on Schedule 12.05 hereto at the times specified therein. 








 32 
  

 SECTION 12.06. Tax Deductions. The rights of the members of the TWX Group and the
members of the AOL Group to take deductions for TWX Equity Compensation Awards shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.06 of the TMA. 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 Administrative Costs and Benefit Plan Reimbursements

 SECTION 13.01. AOL Reimbursement of TWX for Post-Separation Administrative Services. From and after the AOL
Employee Transfer Time, TWX shall continue to provide to the members of the AOL Group services relating to (a) the administration of the TWX Equity Compensation Awards outstanding at the AOL Employee Transfer Time, (b) the administration
of compensation and benefits provided to AOL Employees pursuant to those TWX Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 13.01 prior to the AOL Employee Transfer Time that require ongoing administration following the AOL Employee Transfer Time
(including, without limitation, any administration relating to the TWX Nonqualified Plans and other deferred compensation accounts and any administration relating to withholding or reporting of Taxes) and (c) maintenance and administration of
such data relating to AOL Employees as is necessary to provide the administrative services described in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) (such services, the “TWX Services”). Without limiting the generality of
Section 19.02, TWX Services shall not include any services relating to an individual’s employment with any member of the AOL Group following the Distribution Date. As payment for the TWX Services, AOL shall make payments to TWX, or
shall cause one of its Affiliates to make payments to TWX, in amounts that TWX and AOL reasonably determine to be the costs incurred by TWX in connection with such services (the “TWX Services Reimbursement Amounts”);
provided, however, that to the extent that the costs of any TWX Service are billed directly to a member of the AOL Group by the relevant third-party vendor, the members of the AOL Group shall not be required to reimburse the members of
the TWX Group for such TWX Service. The TWX Services Reimbursement Amounts shall also include amounts that relate to services for which a member of the AOL Group has previously reimbursed a member of TWX Group (including, without limitation,
services provided to the AOL Group prior to the AOL Employee Transfer Time and any TWX Services) but with respect to which a member of the TWX Group incurs additional costs following the time of the initial reimbursement, which additional costs may
include, but are not limited to, additional Taxes payable by a member of the TWX Group with respect to such services and additional payments required to be made to third-party vendors for previously rendered services. The obligations of AOL to
reimburse TWX with respect to the TWX Services are set forth in Section 15.01. 
 SECTION 13.02. Pre-Separation
Benefit Plan Matters. Following the AOL Employee Transfer Time, the members of the AOL Group shall remain responsible for reimbursing the members of the TWX Group for costs relating to compensation and benefits provided to the AOL Employees as a
result of participation in the TWX Benefit Plans prior to the AOL Employee Transfer Time that are not charged directly to the members of the AOL Group (such costs, the “TWX Benefit Plan Costs”); provided, however,
that, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, in no event 








 33 
  

 shall any member of the AOL Group be required to reimburse any member of the TWX Group for the cost of any
compensation or benefits provided to a TWX Transferred Employee that relates to a period prior to the applicable TWX Transferred Employee Transfer Time. Furthermore, following the AOL Employee Transfer Time, the members of the TWX Group shall
reimburse the members of the AOL Group for any rebates or reimbursements received by a member of the TWX Group from any third party (whether from a vendor, a taxing authority or any other third party) that relates to amounts paid by a member of the
AOL Group prior to the AOL Employee Transfer Time in connection with participation by AOL Employees in any TWX Benefit Plan (such refunds and rebates, the “TWX Benefit Plan Rebates”). Any amount that a member of the TWX Group owes
to a member of the AOL Group in respect of the TWX Benefit Plan Rebates shall reduce the amount payable by the members of the AOL Group to the members of the TWX Group in respect of the TWX Benefit Plan Costs for the relevant calendar quarter. The
timing of the obligations of AOL and TWX with respect to the TWX Benefit Plan Costs and the TWX Benefit Plan Rebates is set forth in Section 15.01. 
 SECTION 13.03. TWX Benefit Plan Indemnification. With respect to each TWX Benefit Plan, AOL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the members of the TWX Group from and against any and all
Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from participation in any such plan by any AOL Employee, regardless of whether such participation relates to a period that was prior to, at or after the AOL Employee Transfer Time;
provided, however, that the foregoing obligations shall not apply to any participation by a TWX Transferred Employee in any TWX Benefit Plan prior to the applicable TWX Transferred Employee Transfer Time; provided,
further, that the foregoing obligations shall not apply in the event of any Liabilities arising out of willful or intentional misconduct by any member of the TWX Group or any employee of any member of the TWX Group. With respect to each TWX
Benefit Plan, TWX shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the members of the AOL Group from and against any and all Liabilities arising out of willful or intentional misconduct by any member of the TWX Group or any employee of any member of the
TWX Group; provided, however, that in no event shall any member of the TWX Group be responsible for the cost of any compensation or benefits that the relevant member of the AOL Group would have incurred in the absence of any willful or
intentional misconduct by the relevant member of the TWX Group or the relevant employee of any member of the TWX Group. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 Cooperation; Production of Witnesses; Works Councils 
 SECTION 14.01. Cooperation. Following the date of this Agreement, TWX and AOL shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries
to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect to any employee compensation or benefits matters that TWX or AOL, as applicable, reasonably determines require the cooperation of both TWX and AOL in order to accomplish the
objectives of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, (i) with respect to each AOL Employee who is a participant in a TWX Pension Plan or a TWX Nonqualified Plan, AOL shall notify TWX of the occurrence of such
individual’s “separation from service” (within the 








 34 
  

 meaning of Section 409A of the Code, where applicable) with the AOL Group not later than 10 calendar days
following the end of the month in which any such separation occurs and, at such time, will provide TWX with (a) such individual’s current home address and (b) an indication of whether such AOL Employee is a “specified employee”
(within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) of AOL at the time of such AOL Employee’s separation from service, (ii) prior to the trust-to-trust transfer described in Section 7.02, AOL shall promptly notify TWX of the
occurrence of a separation from service of any AOL Employee who is a participant in the TWX 401(k) Plan, (iii) TWX shall promptly notify AOL upon the occurrence of an exercise, vesting or settlement of a TWX Equity Compensation Award held by
any AOL Employee (and the amounts withheld by a member of the TWX Group in connection with such exercise, vesting or settlement) or the payment by TWX of any cash dividend on TWX Common Stock that would entitle any AOL Employee to a TWX Dividend
Equivalent, (iv) TWX and AOL shall cooperate in connection with any audits of any TWX Benefit Plan or AOL Benefit Plan with respect to which the other Party may have information, (v) TWX and AOL shall cooperate in coordinating each of
their respective payroll systems in connection with the transfers of AOL Employees to the AOL Group and the Distribution, (vi) TWX shall transfer records to AOL as necessary for the proper administration of AOL Benefit Plans, to the extent such
records are in TWX’s possession, (vii) TWX and AOL shall cooperate in good faith in connection with the notification and consultation with works councils, labor unions and other employee representatives of members of the AOL Group and the
TWX Group and (viii) for so long as any AOL Employee holds an outstanding TWX Equity Compensation Award, AOL shall promptly notify TWX upon the occurrence of any changes to such AOL Employee’s name, address or payroll profile (e.g., changes to
the employee’s Form W-4). The obligations of the AOL Group and the TWX Group to cooperate pursuant to this Section 14.01 shall remain in effect for so long as any obligations of any member of the TWX Group remain outstanding to any
AOL Employee described in clause (i) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, and until all audits of all Benefit Plans with respect to which the other Party may have information have been completed or the applicable statute of
limitations with respect to such audits has expired. 
 SECTION 14.02. Production of Witnesses; Records; Further
Cooperation. (a) For the time period described in Section 14.01, except in the case of an adversarial Action or threatened adversarial Action by either TWX or AOL or a Person or Persons in its Group against the other Party or a
Person or Persons in its Group, each of TWX and AOL shall take all reasonable steps to make available, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the Persons in its respective
Group (whether as witnesses or otherwise) and any books, records or other documents within its control or that it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such
directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action or threatened or contemplated Action (including preparation for such Action) in which TWX or
AOL, as applicable, may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in
connection therewith. 








 35 
  

 (b) Without limiting the foregoing, TWX and AOL shall use their reasonable best efforts to
cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions or threatened or contemplated Actions, other than an adversarial Action against the other Group. 
 (c) The obligation of TWX and AOL to make available former, current and future directors, officers, employees and other personnel and agents
or provide witnesses and experts pursuant to this Section 14.02 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall include the obligation to make available employees and other officers without regard to
whether such individual or the employer of such individual could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the first sentence of Section 14.02(a)). Without limiting the foregoing, each of TWX and AOL
agrees that neither it nor any Person or Persons in its respective Group will take any adverse action against any employee of its Group based on such employee’s provision of assistance or information to each other pursuant to this
Section 14.02. 
 (d) Upon the reasonable request of TWX or AOL, in connection with any Action contemplated by
Section 14.01, TWX and AOL will enter into a mutually acceptable common interest agreement so as to maintain, to the extent practicable, any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of either Group.

 SECTION 14.03. Works Councils; Employee Notices. Prior to the AOL Asset Distribution Date, (a) AOL shall, and
shall cause the other members of the AOL Group, to satisfy all legally required obligations of the AOL Group (if any), and (b) TWX shall, and shall cause the other members of the TWX Group, to satisfy all legally required obligations of the TWX
Group (if any), in each case, relating to (i) notification and consultation with works councils, labor unions and other employee representatives, (ii) completion of all regulatory filings relating to AOL Employees, (iii) notification
of individual AOL Employees, (iv) obtaining any required consents from any AOL Employees and (v) taking such other actions with respect to the AOL Employees as may be required by applicable Law, in each case, as may be necessary in order
to complete the Transactions. AOL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AOL LLC and each member of the TWX Group from and against any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the failure of any member of the AOL Group to
satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 14.03, and TWX shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AOL and each member of the AOL Group from and against any and all Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the
failure of any member of the TWX Group to satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 14.03. 
 ARTICLE XV

 36 
  

 aggregate (a) TWX Retained Employee Bonuses Reimbursement Amounts, (b)TWX Retained Employee 401(k)
Contributions Reimbursement Amounts, (c) TWX Services Reimbursement Amounts and (d) TWX Benefit Plan Costs Reimbursement Amounts incurred by a member of the TWX Group during such calendar quarter. Within 30 days following AOL’s

 SECTION 15.02. Reimbursements by the TWX Group. Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter that ends following the AOL Employee Transfer Time in which the TWX Transferred Employee Bonuses are paid to TWX Transferred

incurred by a member of the AOL Group during such calendar quarter. Within 30 days following TWX’s receipt of each such invoice, a member of the TWX Group shall pay a member of the AOL Group an amount in cash equal to the sum of the
aggregate amounts set forth on such invoice plus the TWX Benefit Plan Rebate Reimbursement Amount (if any) for such calendar quarter. Furthermore, not later than the last business day of the month following each month in which an amount is withheld
by a member of the TWX Group pursuant to Section 12.04 in connection with the exercise of a TWX Option by an AOL Employee, a member of the TWX Group shall pay a member of the AOL Group an amount in cash equal to the aggregate TWX Option Tax
Withholding Reimbursement Amount (if any) withheld by members of the TWX Group during such month. 
 SECTION 15.03.
Invoices. All invoices provided pursuant to this Article XV shall be denominated in United States dollars. 
 ARTICLE XVI

 Termination 
 SECTION 16.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by TWX at any time, in its sole discretion, prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however, that this Agreement shall
automatically terminate upon the termination of the Separation Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Agreement. 








 37 
  

 ARTICLE XVII 
 Indemnification Procedures 
 SECTION 17.01. Indemnification Obligations
Net of Insurance Proceeds and Third-Party Proceeds. (a) The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement will be net of (i) Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount
of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability or (ii) other amounts recovered from any third party that actually reduce the amount of, or are paid to the applicable Indemnitee in respect of, such Liability
(“Third-Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount that either Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement (an
“Indemnitee”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee from a third party in respect of the related Liability. If an Indemnitee receives a
payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds in respect of such Liability, then the
Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds had been received,
realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made. 
 (b) An insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any
claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other
third party shall be entitled to a “wind-fall” (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each member of the TWX Group
and AOL Group shall use reasonable best efforts to seek to collect or recover any Insurance Proceeds and any Third-Party Proceeds to which such Person is entitled in connection with any Liability for which such Person seeks indemnification pursuant
to this Article XVII; provided, however, that such Person’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third-Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder. 

(c) The calculation of any Indemnity Payments required by this Agreement shall be subject to Section 6.04 of the TMA.

 SECTION 17.02. Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims. (a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or
otherwise learn of a Third-Party Claim with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof
as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than 30 days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnitee or
other Person to give notice as provided in this  








 38 
  

 Section 17.02(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this
Article XVII, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. 
 (b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third-Party Claim. Within 30 days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in
accordance with Section 17.02(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election as to whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for
defending such Third-Party Claim. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not
control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnitee, except that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the
Indemnitee (i) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of such Third-Party Claim (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have failed to give notice of the Third-Party Claim in
accordance with Section 17.02(a)) or (ii) to the extent that such engagement of counsel is as a result of a conflict of interest, as reasonably determined by the Indemnitee acting in good faith. 
 (c) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third-Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its
election as provided in this Section 17.02, such Indemnitee may defend such Third-Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. 
 (d) If an Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnitee(s) shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, cooperate
with the Indemnifying Party with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim. 
 (e) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the applicable Indemnitee or Indemnitees; provided, however, that such Indemnitee(s) shall be required to consent to such entry of
judgment or to such settlement that the Indemnifying Party may recommend if the judgment or settlement (i) contains no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person, (ii) involves only monetary
relief which the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay and (iii) includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an Indemnitee be required to consent to any entry of judgment or
settlement if the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly, against any Indemnitee. 
 (f) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnitee shall admit any liability with respect
to, or settle, 








 39 
  

 compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 SECTION 17.03. Additional Matters. (a) Any claim on
account of a Liability that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30 days after the receipt of such
notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not
respond within such 30-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (b) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any
claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any
subrogated right, defense or claim. 
 (c) In the event of an Action relating to a Liability that has been allocated to an
Indemnifying Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if the Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant
or add the Indemnifying Party as an additional named defendant, if at all practicable. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the
Action as set forth in this Section, the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant against all costs of defending the Action (including court costs, sanctions imposed by a court, attorneys’ fees, experts, fees and all other
external expenses), the costs of any judgment or settlement and the cost of any interest or penalties relating to any judgment or settlement. 
 SECTION 17.04. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article XVII shall be cumulative and, subject to the provisions of Article XVIII, shall not preclude assertion by any
Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party. 
 SECTION 17.05.
Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of TWX and AOL and their respective Indemnitees under this Article XVII shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or
the assignment by it of any Liabilities. 
 SECTION 17.06. Limitation on Liability. Except as may expressly be set forth
in this Agreement, none of TWX, AOL or any other member of either Group shall 








 40 
  

 in any event have any Liability to the other or to any other member of the other’s Group, or to any
other TWX Indemnitee or AOL Indemnitee, as applicable, under this Agreement (i) with respect to any matter to the extent that such Party seeking indemnification has engaged in any knowing violation of Law or fraud in connection therewith or (ii) for
any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages, whether or not caused by or resulting from negligence or breach of obligations hereunder and whether or not informed of the possibility of the existence of such damages; provided,
however, that the provisions of this Section 17.06 shall not limit an Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to any Liability any Indemnitee may have to any third-party not affiliated with any
member of the TWX Group or the AOL Group for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages. 
 ARTICLE XVIII

 Further Assurances and Additional Covenants 
 SECTION 18.01. Further Assurances. (a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of
the Parties shall, subject to the discretion of TWX with respect to the Distribution, as set forth Section 5.03 of the Separation Agreement, use reasonable best efforts, prior to, on and after the Distribution Date, to take, or cause to
be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 (b) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to, on and after the Distribution Date, each Party shall cooperate with the other
Party, without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party, (i) to execute and deliver, or use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including any
instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer as such Party may reasonably be requested to execute and deliver by the other Party, (ii) to make, or cause to be made, all filings with, and to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents,
approvals or authorizations of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument and (iii) to take, or cause to be taken, all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be
requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and any transfers of Assets or assignments and assumptions of Liabilities
hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (c) On or prior to the Distribution Date, TWX and AOL, in their
respective capacities as direct and indirect shareholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by AOL or any other Subsidiary of TWX, as the case may be, to effectuate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (d) Prior to the Distribution, if either Party identifies any commercial or
other service that is needed to ensure a smooth and orderly transition of its business 








 41 
  

 in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that is not otherwise
governed by the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties will cooperate in determining whether there is a mutually acceptable arm’s-length basis on which the other Party will provide such service. 
 ARTICLE XIX 
 Miscellaneous 
 SECTION 19.01. Vendor Contracts. Prior to the AOL Employee Transfer Time, TWX and AOL
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) negotiate with the current third-party providers to separate and assign the applicable rights and obligations under each group insurance policy, health maintenance organization, administrative
services contract, third-party administrator agreement, letter of understanding or arrangement that pertains to one or more TWX Welfare Plans and one or more AOL Welfare Plans (each, a “Vendor Contract”) to the extent that such
rights or obligations pertain to AOL Employees and (ii) to the extent permitted by the applicable third-party provider, obtain and maintain pricing discounts or other preferential terms under the Vendor Contracts. At AOL’s reasonable
request, AOL and TWX shall use commercially reasonable efforts so that the AOL Group may participate in the terms and conditions of such Vendor Contracts until a date that is not later than December 31, 2010. Prior to the AOL Employee Transfer
Time, TWX and AOL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with applicable consultants, plan auditors, investment advisors, legal advisors and other third-party providers of services to TWX in connection with the Benefit Plans to
maintain pricing discounts or other preferential terms in effect as of immediately prior to the AOL Employee Transfer Time. At the AOL Employee Transfer Time, AOL shall assume each Vendor Contract to which AOL LLC is a party and shall be solely
responsible for all obligations of AOL LLC thereunder, in each case, to the extent that there are any rights or obligations of any party thereunder that relate to any period following the AOL Employee Transfer Time. 
 SECTION 19.02. Administration. AOL hereby acknowledges that TWX has provided administration services for certain AOL Benefit Plans
and AOL agrees to assume responsibility for the administration and administration costs of such plans and each other AOL Benefit Plan. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to complete such transfer of responsibility on commercially reasonable
terms and conditions effective no later than the AOL Employee Transfer Time. 
 SECTION 19.03. Employment Tax Reporting
Responsibility. AOL LLC and AOL hereby agree to follow the alternate procedure for United States employment tax withholding as provided in Section 5 of Rev. Proc. 2004-53, I.R.B. 2004-35. Accordingly, AOL LLC shall have no United States
employment tax reporting responsibilities, and AOL shall have full United States employment tax reporting responsibilities, for AOL LLC Employees from and after the AOL Employee Transfer Time. 








 42 
  

 SECTION 19.04. Data Privacy. The Parties agree that any applicable data privacy Laws
and any other obligations of the AOL Group and the TWX Group to maintain the confidentiality of any employee information in accordance with applicable Law shall govern the disclosure of employee information among the Parties under this Agreement.
AOL and TWX shall ensure that they each have in place appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data of the AOL Employees and the TWX Retained Employees. 
 SECTION 19.05. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under this Agreement of any TWX Indemnitee or AOL
Indemnitee in their respective capacities as such, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no current or former director, officer, employee or independent contractor of any member of the TWX Group or any member of the AOL Group
or any other individual associated therewith (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Agreement shall create such rights in any such
persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any TWX Benefit Plan or any AOL Benefit Plan. Furthermore, no provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on the rights to amend, modify or
terminate any TWX Benefit Plan or any AOL Benefit Plan, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any such Benefit Plan. No provision of this Agreement shall require any member of the TWX Group or any member of the AOL Group to
continue the employment of any employee of any member of the TWX Group or any member of the AOL Group for any specific period of time following the Distribution Date. 
 SECTION 19.06. Confidentiality. (a) Without limiting the scope of Section 19.04, each of TWX and AOL, on behalf of itself and each Person in its respective Group, shall hold, and
cause its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence and not release or disclose, with at least the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable
degree of care, that it applies to its own confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Distribution Date, all Information concerning the other Group or its business that is either in its possession (including
Information in its possession prior to the Distribution) or furnished by the other Group or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement,
and shall not use any such Information other than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Information is (i) in the public domain through no fault of any member of the TWX Group
or the AOL Group, as applicable, or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by any of TWX, AOL or its respective
Group, employees, directors or agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives, as applicable, which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation to the knowledge of any of TWX, AOL or Persons in its
respective Group, as applicable, (iii) independently generated without reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the TWX Group or the AOL Group, as applicable, or (iv) required to be disclosed by Law; provided,
however, that the Person 








 43 
  

 required to disclose such Information gives the applicable Person prompt, and to the extent reasonably
practicable, prior notice of such disclosure and an opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, at the expense of the requesting Person, in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements
requested by such Person. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Person that is required to disclose such Information shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of such Information
that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of TWX and AOL may release or disclose, or permit to be
released or disclosed, any such Information concerning the other Group (x) to their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information (who shall be
advised of the obligations hereunder with respect to such Information), and (y) to any nationally recognized statistical rating agency as it reasonably deems necessary, solely for the purpose of obtaining a rating of securities upon normal
terms and conditions; provided, however, that the Party whose Information is being disclosed or released to such rating agency is promptly notified thereof. 
 (b) Without limiting the foregoing, when any Information concerning the other Group or its business is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, each of TWX and AOL will, promptly
after request of the other Party, either return all Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other Party, as applicable, that it has destroyed such Information
(and used commercially reasonable efforts to destroy all such Information electronically preserved or recorded within any computerized data storage device or component (including any hard-drive or database)). 
 SECTION 19.07. Counterparts; Entire Agreement; Corporate Power. (a) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
all of which counterparts shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party hereto and delivered to the other Party. 
 (b) This Agreement and the schedules hereto contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof other than those set forth or referred to herein. 
 (c) TWX represents on behalf of itself and each other member
of the TWX Group, and AOL represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the AOL Group, as follows: (i) each such Person has the requisite corporate or other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action necessary in
order to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; and (ii) on or prior to the Distribution Date, this Agreement will have been duly executed 








 44 
  

 and delivered by it and constitutes, or will constitute, a valid and binding agreement of it enforceable in
accordance with the terms thereof. 
 SECTION 19.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof, except to the extent the Laws of Delaware or any other jurisdiction are
mandatorily applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction, forum and venue of the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York
County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York over any and all claims, disputes, controversies or disagreements between the Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns under
or related to this Agreement or any document executed pursuant to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 SECTION 19.09. Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by
either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, either Party may assign this Agreement without consent in connection with (a) a merger transaction in which such Party is not the surviving entity
and the surviving entity acquires or assumes all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets, or (b) upon the sale of all or substantially all of such Party’s Assets; provided, however, that the assignee expressly
assumes in writing all of the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and the assigning Party provides written notice and evidence of such assignment and assumption to the non-assigning Party. No assignment permitted by this
Section 19.09 shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to either Party. Upon any such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties. 
 SECTION 19.12. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that any delay or failure in
the performance of its obligations under this Agreement results from any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, such as acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, embargoes, epidemics, war, riots,
insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, unusually severe weather conditions, labor problems or unavailability of parts, or, in the case of computer systems, any failure in electrical or air conditioning equipment. In the event of any
such excused delay, the time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. 
 SECTION 19.13. Headings. The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 19.14. Survival of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the covenants in this Agreement and the
liabilities for the breach of any obligations in this Agreement shall survive each of the Separation and the Distribution and shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 19.15. Waivers of Default. Waiver by any Party hereto of any default by the other Party hereto of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any
subsequent or other default. 
 SECTION 19.16. Specific Performance. Subject to Section 5.03 of the
Separation Agreement and notwithstanding the procedures set forth in Article XVIII, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, the affected Party shall have
the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The other
Party shall not oppose the granting of such relief. The Parties to this Agreement agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in
any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived. 
 SECTION 19.17. Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by any Party
hereto, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of each Party.
