 Re:    Equity Grants 
 Dear Ron: 
 We are sending you this letter to advise you of changes related to future equity grants you may receive from Time Warner Inc. On Wednesday, February 18, 2009, the Compensation and Human Development
Committee of the Board of Directors of Time Warner Inc. approved amending your employment agreement to provide for a modification to the terms of any future equity grants awarded to you by Time Warner Inc. with respect to their treatment in the
event that your employment with AOL LLC were terminated without cause. 
 Specifically, the Compensation and Human Development Committee of the
Board of Directors of Time Warner Inc. approved the following: in the event of a termination of your employment with AOL LLC by AOL LLC without cause, all stock options to purchase shares of Time Warner Common Stock granted to you on or after
February 18, 2009, shall vest and become immediately exercisable on the earlier of the Severance Term Date or the Equity Cessation Date (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement that was delivered to you in
November 2008), and shall remain exercisable for a period of three years after the earlier of the Severance Term Date or the Equity Cessation Date (but not beyond the term of such stock options) and AOL LLC and Time Warner Inc. shall not be
permitted to determine that your employment was terminated for “unsatisfactory performance” within the meaning of any stock option agreement between you and Time Warner Inc. In addition, subject to potential further delay in payment
resulting from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the vesting of any awards of RSUs granted to you on or after February 18, 2009, and held at the Effective Termination Date of a termination of your employment without cause will
accelerate upon, and the shares of Time Warner Common Stock will be paid to you promptly following, the Effective Termination Date of such a termination of employment.

 To apply this modified treatment to the equity grants that are anticipated to be made by Time Warner Inc. to
you on February 20, 2009, you will need to sign and return this letter to me by fax (212 484-7181) or in an email with a PDF no later than the close of business on February 19, 2009 acknowledging your agreement to the modifications
described herein. AOL LLC will then amend and restate your employment agreement to reflect the changes described in this letter.

 Dear Randy: 
 Reference is made to your Employment Agreement effective as of March 7, 2008, (the “Employment Agreement”) with Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”) and AOL LLC (“AOL” or the “Company”). Capitalized
terms used herein but not otherwise defined in this letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”) shall have the meanings given such terms in the Employment Agreement. We have agreed that your employment with the Company will be terminated and the
provisions of Section 4.2 of your Employment Agreement are to become applicable, subject to the modifications set forth in this Letter Agreement (which modifications shall be deemed to constitute an amendment to your Employment Agreement). This
Letter Agreement sets forth the understandings between the Company and you concerning the termination of your employment and your entitlements under the Employment Agreement. 
 You and the Company, intending to reflect our mutual understanding regarding the terms of the plan for the separation of your employment from the Company, hereby agree as follows:

 1.         Pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement,
your active employment with the Company shall terminate effective as of March 13, 2009 (the “Separation from Service Date”) and you shall continue to receive your current Base Salary, and a pro-rata portion of your Average Annual
Bonus (which you and the Company agree is $3,250,000) and all other benefits as described in the Employment Agreement through the Separation from Service Date. From the Separation from Service Date through June 1, 2009 (the “Transition
Period Date”), you shall provide transition services as described in paragraph 2, and you shall continue to receive your current Base Salary and a pro-rata portion of your Average Annual Bonus and all other benefits as described in
Section 7.2 of the Employment Agreement. As of the Separation from Service Date, you shall no longer serve in any officer or director positions with the Company, Time Warner and any affiliates and subsidiaries of the Company or Time Warner and,
to the extent action has not been taken to elect a successor to an officer or director position as of such date, you shall be deemed to have resigned from the position. 

 2 
 2.         Through the Transition Period Date you agree to cooperate with the Company in providing for an orderly transition, which
cooperation shall include giving such assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Company or Time Warner and subject to your reasonable availability. Such cooperation shall extend to additional matters as reasonably requested by the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Time Warner from time to time and agreed to by you. The Company shall reimburse you for all reasonable expenses in fulfilling your obligations under this Paragraph 2. 
 3.         In accordance with Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement, your
termination of employment shall be deemed for all purposes of the Employment Agreement to be a termination without cause under Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement and you shall be entitled to receive payments of Base Salary and Average
Annual Bonus through December 31, 2010 (the “Severance Term Date”) as described in Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 of the Employment Agreement at the times provided in Section 4.6 of the Employment Agreement; provided, however, that the
Employment Agreement is hereby amended to provide for the following terms with respect to the timing of your termination payments thereunder: 
 a.         Subject to Section 14 of this Letter Agreement, (i) your future annual bonus payments that you are entitled to receive
under the Employment Agreement (both before and after the Separation from Service Date) shall be paid to you between January 1 and March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the performance year with respect to such bonus and
(ii) following the Separation from Service Date, your continued Base Salary payments pursuant to Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 of the Employment Agreement shall be paid to you on the Company’s normal payroll payment dates as in effect
immediately prior to the Separation from Service Date. 
 4.        
This confirms that, in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Employment Agreement, the following shall apply with respect to your benefits and equity awards:         After the Separation from Service Date
and prior to the Severance Term Date, you shall continue to be treated as an employee of the Company for purposes of eligibility to participate in the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans and to receive the health and welfare benefits
required to be provided to you under the Employment Agreement to the extent such health and welfare benefits are maintained in effect by the Company for its executives. At the Severance Termination Date, your rights to benefits and payments under
any benefit plans or any insurance or other death benefit plans or arrangements of the Company shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans. After the Separation from Service Date, you shall not be entitled to any
additional awards or grants under any stock option, restricted stock or other stock based incentive plan and you shall not be entitled to continue elective deferrals in or accrue additional benefits under any qualified or nonqualified retirement
programs maintained by the Company. At the Severance Termination Date or, if earlier, the Equity Cessation Date, your rights to benefits and payments under any stock option, restricted stock unit, stock appreciation right, bonus unit, management
incentive or other long-term incentive plan of the Company shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans and any agreements under which such stock options, restricted stock units or other awards were granted. In
particular, in accordance with Section 7.2, (i) all stock options to purchase shares of Time Warner Common 

 3 
 Stock issued to you shall continue to vest through the earlier of the Severance Term Date and the Equity Cessation Date, (ii) at the earlier of the Severance Term Date and the Equity Cessation Date,
(x) all stock options to purchase shares of Time Warner Common Stock granted to you prior to March 7, 2008, (the “Term Options”) that would have vested on or before the Severance Term Date shall vest and any vested Term Options
shall remain exercisable for a period of three years after the earlier of the Severance Term Date and the Equity Cessation Date (but not beyond the term of such options) and (y) all stock options to purchase shares of Time Warner Common Stock
granted to you on or after March 7, 2008 shall vest and become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of three years after the earlier of the Severance Term Date and the Equity Cessation Date (but not beyond the terms
of such options), and (iii) the Company shall not be permitted to determine that your employment was terminated for “unsatisfactory performance” within the meaning of any stock option agreement between you and Time Warner. With
respect to restricted stock units (“RSUs”) held at the Separation from Service Date, (i) the RSUs granted to you on November 27, 2006, March 7, 2008 and February 20, 2009 will fully vest on the Separation from
Service Date, but will not be paid to you until immediately following six months after the Separation from Service Date and (ii) for all other RSU grants, subject to potential further delay in payment pursuant to Section 14, the pro-rated
vesting of the RSU grants will be determined at the earlier of the Severance Term Date or the Equity Cessation Date in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement(s), but the shares or Time Warner Common Stock underlying any vested
RSUs will not be paid to you until promptly following the next regular vesting date(s) for such award(s) of RSUs. With regard to the target Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) you hold at the Separation from Service Date, following the end of
the applicable three-year performance periods, the performance achieved by Time Warner will be determined and the number of shares of Time Warner Common Stock to be delivered to you will be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable
award agreement, with amounts prorated if the earlier of the Severance Term Date and the Equity Cessation Date occurs prior to the end of the performance period for an award of PSUs. 
 5.         In accordance with Section 4.4 of the Employment Agreement, the
obligations of the Company to make or continue any of the payments to you or to take any actions with respect to Paragraphs 1 through 4 above are subject to your execution of the Release attached hereto. If you fail to execute and deliver the
Release, or if you revoke the Release as provided therein, then in lieu of the payments and benefits provided herein, you shall receive a severance payment determined in accordance with the Company’s polices relating to notice and severance
reduced by the aggregate amount of severance payments paid pursuant to this Letter Agreement, if any, prior to the date of your refusal to deliver, or revocation of, such Release. 
 5A.     Section 7.5 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following
language to the end of the last sentence thereof: “other than defenses to the payment that the Company may have that are based on or related to the discharge of the Company’s payment obligation as a result of or through a proceeding by the
Company under 11 USC et seq., as amended, or under any state insolvency laws, including but not limited to, any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors. 
 6.         Section 8.2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to provide that, during the period ending twelve months after the
Separation from Service Date, you shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer or 

 4 
 Chief Operating Officer of Time Warner, render any services to, or act in any capacity for, any Competitive Entity, or acquire any interest of any type in any Competitive Entity; provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit you from acquiring, (a) solely as an investment and through market purchases, securities of any Competitive Entity which are registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and which are publicly traded, so long as you are not part of any control group of such Competitive Entity and such securities, including converted securities, do not constitute more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting
power of that entity and (b) securities of any Competitive Entity that are not publicly traded, so long as you are not part of any control group of such Competitive Entity and such securities, including converted securities, do not constitute
more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding voting power of that entity. For purposes of the foregoing, the following shall be deemed to be a Competitive Entity: (y) eBay, Inc., MySpace, Interactive Corp., EarthLink, Inc., Google Inc.,
Microsoft Corporation, and Yahoo! Inc., and their respective subsidiaries and any successor to the internet service provider and (z) any internet access, service or portal company or any other company that directly competes with AOL.
(Notwithstanding clause (z) above, you may provide services to a non-competitive division or subsidiary of any entity described in clause (z) above.) 
 7.   In accordance with Section 11.15 of the Employment Agreement and except as otherwise provided herein, you shall continue to have rights under and be subject to
any obligations under the Employment Agreement that survive your termination under Section 4.2 thereof, including but not limited to Sections 3.6(Indemnification), 4.2(Termination By You For Material Breach By The Company Or Termination By The
Company Without Cause), 4.3 (After The Term Date), 4.4(Release), 4.5(Mitigation), 4.6 (Payments) and 7 through 11 thereof (which includes Sections 7.3(Life Insurance), 7.5(Deferred Compensation), 7.6 (Housing and Automobile Allowance) and 11.5
(Assignability)). 
 7A.         You and the Company agree that the
Company is responsible for the payments and benefits set forth in the Employment Agreement, as amended by this Letter Agreement, except as specifically designated otherwise. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Company’s
obligations with respect to such payments and benefits will continue in the event of an AOL Transaction, subject to its right and obligation to assign its rights and obligations under the Employment Agreement, as amended by this Letter Agreement,
pursuant to Section 11.5. In addition, in the event of an AOL Transaction that includes the sale, merger or spin off of substantially all for the Company by Time Warner Inc in two or more parts, if the Company (or its successor(s), as
applicable) fails to make any required payment to you, Time Warner will make such required payment(s) and will have a claim for reimbursement from the Company (or its successor(s), as applicable), and you acknowledge that in such instance, Time
Warner will have and be able to assert any defenses to payment that the Company may have other than defenses to the payment that are based on or related to the discharge of the Company’s payment obligation as a result of or through a proceeding
by the Company under 11 U.S.C. et seq., as amended, or any state insolvency laws, including but not limited to, any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors. 

 5 
 8.         You will continue to be entitled to be eligible for the same level of financial services reimbursement as similarly situated
employees at the Company through the earlier of the Equity Cessation Date or the Severance Term Date. 
 9.
        You agree and acknowledge that you have no further right to receive any compensation, payments or benefits from the Company, other than as set forth in the Employment Agreement, as amended by this
Letter Agreement. 
 10.         Except as provided in Section 11.7
of the Employment Agreement, any claims, controversies or disputes arising out of or related to this Letter Agreement or the Release, the interpretation, validity or enforceability of this Letter Agreement or the Release, or the alleged breach of
this Letter Agreement or the Release shall be submitted to resolution in arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.8 of the Employment Agreement. 
 11.         This Letter Agreement, taken together with the Release and Employment
Agreement, as modified by this Letter Agreement, constitute and contain the entire agreement and understanding concerning your employment, termination from employment and the other subject matters addressed herein between the parties and supersedes
and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matters hereof. This is an integrated document. Except as expressly amended by this Letter Agreement, the Employment
Agreement remains in full force and effect. 
 12.         This Letter
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart, when executed, shall have the efficacy of a signed original. Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose. 
 13.         This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in New York. 
 14.         This Letter Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and will be
interpreted in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein or contained in the Employment Agreement to the contrary, (i) if at the Effective Termination Date you are a “specified
employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code (and any related regulations or other pronouncements thereunder) and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination
of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder or under the Employment
Agreement (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to you) until the date that is six months following your termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under
Section 409 A of the Code) and (ii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to you hereunder or under the Employment Agreement could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the
Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent 

 6 
 possible, in a manner, determined by the Company, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to you under this Letter Agreement or
under the Employment Agreement constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be paid to you in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg.
Section 1.409A-3(i)(l)(iv). Each payment made under this Agreement or under the Employment Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall consult with you
in good faith regarding the implementation of the provisions of this Section 14; provided that neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to you with respect to thereto. 
 If the foregoing accurately reflects our agreement, please so indicate by signing where indicated below.
