INTRODUCTION

     This disclosure statement (this “Disclosure Statement”) is being furnished by America Online
Latin America, Inc. (“AOLA” or the “Company”), AOL Latin America Management LLC (“AOL Management
LLC”), AOL Puerto Rico Management Services, Inc. (“Puerto Rico Management Services”) and America
Online Caribbean Basin, Inc. (“AOL Caribbean Basin”), debtors and debtors-in-possession (each a
“Debtor” and collectively, the “Debtors”) in these jointly administered chapter 11 cases (these
“Chapter 11 Cases”) in connection with the Debtors’ solicitation of votes to confirm the Debtors’
Joint Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the
“Plan”). A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A.2

     The purpose of this Disclosure Statement is to set forth information: (1) regarding the
history of the Debtors, their businesses and these Chapter 11 Cases; (2) concerning the Plan and
alternatives to the Plan; (3) advising the Holders of Claims and Equity Interests of their rights
under the Plan; (4) assisting the Holders of Claims entitled to vote in making an informed judgment
regarding whether they should vote to accept or reject the Plan; and (5) assisting the Bankruptcy
Court in determining whether the Debtors have complied and the Plan complies with the provisions of
chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     By
Court order dated February 23, 2006 (the “Disclosure Statement Order”), the Bankruptcy Court approved
this Disclosure Statement in accordance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, as containing
“adequate information” to enable a hypothetical, reasonable investor typical of Holders of Claims
against the Debtors to make an informed judgment as to whether to accept or reject the Plan, and
authorized its use in connection with the solicitation of votes with respect to the Plan. APPROVAL
OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT DOES NOT, HOWEVER, CONSTITUTE A DETERMINATION BY THE COURT AS TO THE
FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE PLAN. No solicitation of votes may be made except pursuant to this
Disclosure Statement and section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code. In voting on the Plan, Holders of
Claims entitled to vote should not rely on any information relating to the Debtors and their
businesses, other than that contained in this Disclosure Statement, the Plan and all exhibits
hereto and thereto.

     THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE A CAREFUL AND DETAILED REVIEW AND
ANALYSIS OF THE PLAN BY EACH HOLDER OF A CLAIM OR EQUITY INTEREST. THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS
INTENDED TO AID AND SUPPLEMENT THAT REVIEW. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN HEREIN IS A SUMMARY ONLY.
HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS AND OTHER PARTIES IN INTEREST ARE CAUTIONED TO REVIEW THE
PLAN AND ANY RELATED ATTACHMENTS FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PLAN’S PROVISIONS. THIS
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE PLAN.

A. Holders of Claims and Equity Interests Entitled to Vote

     Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, only classes of Claims or Equity Interests
which are (i) “impaired” by a plan of reorganization and (ii) entitled to receive a distribution
under such a plan are entitled to vote on the plan. In these Chapter 11 Cases, only Holders of
Claims in Class 3 TW Party Claims and Class 4 General Unsecured Claims are impaired by, and will
receive a distribution from the Debtors under, the Plan and, therefore, are the only classes of
Claims entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Claims in Class 1 Priority Claims and Class
2 Secured Claims are unimpaired by the Plan and the Holders thereof are conclusively presumed to
have accepted the Plan. Holders of Equity Interests

 

			
	2	 	Capitalized terms that are not defined in this
Disclosure Statement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

 

 

and/or Claims in Class 5 Existing Series C Interests, Class 6 Other Equity Interests and Class
7 Subordinated Claims against the Debtors will receive no distribution from the Debtors under the
Plan and are therefore deemed to have rejected the Plan.

B. Voting Procedures

     If you are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, enclosed is a ballot (the “Ballot”)
for the acceptance or rejection of the Plan and a pre-addressed envelope for the return of the
Ballot. BALLOTS FOR ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN ARE BEING PROVIDED ONLY TO HOLDERS OF
CLAIMS IN CLASS 3 TW PARTY CLAIMS AND CLASS 4 GENERAL UNSECURED CLAIMS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY
HOLDERS OF CLAIMS THAT MAY VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN. If you are the Holder of a Claim in
one of these Classes and did not receive a Ballot, received a damaged or illegible Ballot, or lost
your Ballot, or if you are a party in interest and have any questions concerning this Disclosure
Statement, any of the Exhibits hereto, the Plan or the voting procedures in respect thereof, please

ARTICLE I

OVERVIEW OF PLAN

     The following is a brief overview of the material provisions of the Plan and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan. For a more detailed description of the
terms and provisions of the Plan, see Article V below, entitled “The Plan of Reorganization.”

     The Plan is a plan of reorganization and liquidation for the Debtors and incorporates the
terms of a compromise by and among the Debtors and AOLA’s principal stockholders, Time Warner Inc.
(“Time Warner”), America Online, Inc. (“America Online”) and the Cisneros Group Parties (as defined
in the Plan)3 (collectively with Time Warner and America Online, the “Principal
Stockholders”). Among other things, the Plan provides that (i) AOLA will be converted to a limited
liability company and continue to exist as Reorganized AOLA LLC, (ii) AOL Management LLC, Puerto
Rico Management Services and AOL Caribbean Basin will be dissolved on the Effective Date and (iii)
a Liquidating LLC will be established which will hold Reorganized AOLA LLC and certain of the
Debtors’ remaining Assets.4 On the Effective Date, LLC Agents will be appointed to
oversee the administration and implementation of the Plan and the liquidation of the Assets. The
LLC Agents will designate an individual as an LLC Administrator to oversee and administer the
day-to-day aspects of the liquidation and wind-down to be effected by the Liquidating LLC.

A. Summary of Classification and Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan

     The Plan classifies all Claims and Equity Interests of the Debtors into separate classes (each
a “Class”). The following chart summarizes the classification and status of Claims and Equity
Interests and the treatments afforded under the Plan. The General Bar Date (as defined below) for
Claims was October 28, 2005.5 As of October 28, 2005, the Debtors had received proof of
claims in the amount of approximately $340,000 (not including claims by the TW Parties). The
Debtors are in the process of analyzing the validity of these claims. Until this process is
complete, the Debtors will not be able to state the estimated or projected distributions, except to
the extent set forth in the Debtors’ Schedules.

 

			
	3	 	The Cisneros Group Parties refers to Aspen
Investments LLC, Atlantis Investments LLC and trusts established by Gustavo and
Ricardo Cisneros principally for the benefit of themselves and their families.
	 
	4	 	Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a chart of
the expected organizational structure of the Liquidating LLC and Reorganized
AOLA Group as of the Effective Date, giving effect to the reorganization.
	 
	5	 	Pursuant to the Plan, Holders of D&O Indemnity Claims
are not required to file proofs of claim in respect of such D&O Indemnity
Claims, and are not entitled to vote on the Plan in respect of such D&O
Indemnity Claims.

	 	 	The TW Parties will receive:

(1) certain assets related to AOL

(2) one of the two treatments at
the election of the Debtors:

  (a) LLC Option: the TW

  Parties will receive all the

  membership interests in the

  Liquidating LLC other than

  the interests that will go to

  the general unsecured

  creditors

  (b) Cash Option: the TW

  Parties will receive all the

  membership interests in the

  Liquidating LLC. Cash will

  be set aside in a separate

  fund for the general

  unsecured creditors on the

  effective date.

In either case, pursuant to the
Plan (and in accordance with the
terms of the Support Agreement and
the Letter Agreement), Time Warner
will turn over to the Cisneros
Group Parties 40% of their
membership interests in the
Liquidating LLC, subject to an
adjustment based on (i) the value
of the AOL Puerto Rico assets
transferred to the TW Parties,
(ii) the value of certain general
unsecured claims of AOL and (iii)
the payment of all general
unsecured creditors

creditors will receive interests
in the Liquidating LLC on the
effective date entitling them to
receive their ratable share of
available cash in future
distributions of cash.

(2) Cash Option: Cash will be set
aside in a separate fund for the
general unsecured creditors on the
effective date, and the general
unsecured creditors will receive
their ratable share of cash from
this fund.

The election of the Debtors of the
LLC Option or the Cash Option will
have no impact on the recovery of
the general unsecured creditors.

IT IS CURRENTLY PROJECTED THAT
THOSE GENERAL UNSECURED CREDITORS
WHO AGREE TO GRANT THE GENERAL
RELEASE (BY RETURNING A BALLOT TO
ACCEPT THE PLAN AND NOT OPTING OUT
OF THE GENERAL RELEASE) WILL
RECEIVE ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENTS
FROM THE TW PARTIES FOR AN
EXPECTED TOTAL RECOVERY OF 100% OF
THE ALLOWED AMOUNT OF THEIR CLAIM.

Interests under the Plan.

     THE TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTIONS PROVIDED BY THE DEBTORS TO HOLDERS OF ALLOWED CLAIMS
PURSUANT TO THE PLAN ARE IN FULL AND COMPLETE SATISFACTION OF THE ALLOWED CLAIMS ON ACCOUNT OF
WHICH SUCH TREATMENT IS GIVEN AND DISTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE. NOTHING IN THE PLAN LIMITS THE ABILITY
OF THE DEBTORS TO PAY BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CLAIMS THAT ARE NOT
DISPUTED.

     On August 7, 2000, in connection with AOLA’s initial public offering, the AOLA Group
reorganized its corporate structure. As part of the corporate reorganization, America Online and
the

     Cisneros Group Parties exchanged their ownership interests in the two holding companies that
owned AOL Spain and its affiliates for, among other things, shares of AOLA’s series B redeemable
convertible preferred stock and series C redeemable convertible preferred stock, respectively. As
a result of the corporate reorganization, AOLA owns 100% of AOL Spain’s outstanding equity
interests.

     The non-debtor principal subsidiaries of the AOLA Group are: (1) AOL Brasil Ltda. (“AOL
Brazil”), a company organized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, which conducts
business in Brazil; (2) AOL Spain; and (3) AOL S. de R.L. de C.V. (“AOL Mexico”), a company
organized under the laws of Mexico, which conducts business in Mexico. The AOLA Group also
provided Internet services in Argentina through a wholly-owned subsidiary, AOL Argentina, S.A.
(“AOL Argentina”). AOL Brazil, AOL Argentina and AOL Mexico are referred to as the “Non-Debtor
Foreign Subsidiaries.”

     The AOLA Group, through the Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiaries, provided online Internet services
in the above-mentioned jurisdictions. The AOLA Group derived revenues principally from (a) member
subscriptions to its country services and web-based interactive services, (b) amounts received from
America Online related to the AOL-branded service in Puerto Rico and (c) advertising and other
revenue sources through AOL Puerto Rico and the Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiaries (collectively, the
“Business”). Other revenue sources have included an advertising agreement with Google (the “Google
Agreement”) based on the volume of queries generated in the search tool of the services provided by
the AOLA Group and revenue sharing agreements with certain local telecommunications providers. The
Google Agreement was terminated pursuant to a termination agreement approved by the Bankruptcy
Court on December 21, 2005.

     Prior to the Petition Date, the AOLA Group conducted its operations in Mexico through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, AOL Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Old AOL Mexico”). On April 25, 2005, AOLA
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Latin America Quotaholder, LLC (“Quotaholder”), entered into an
equity purchase agreement (the “Old AOL Mexico Agreement”) with Comunicaciones Nextel de Mexico,
S.A. de C.V. (“Comunicaciones Nextel”), and Servicios NII, S.A. de C.V. (collectively with
Comunicaciones Nextel, “Nextel”). Under the Old AOL Mexico Agreement, AOLA and Quotaholder sold to
Nextel all of the equity interests in Old AOL Mexico. Nextel paid AOLA and Quotaholder
Mxp$155,818,350, or approximately $14.1 million, in consideration for the sale. The business of
Old AOL Mexico was transferred to a newly-formed, wholly -owned subsidiary of AOLA and Quotaholder,
AOL Mexico, on February 1, 2005 so that the only remaining assets of Old AOL Mexico at the time of
the sale were aged accounts receivable, customer information and certain call center assets. On
April 28, 2005, AOLA lent AOL Mexico approximately $14.1 million of the proceeds of the transaction
for AOL Mexico’s ordinary course operating expenses and wind down costs. As of January 4, 2006,
AOL Mexico has repaid approximately $3.5 million of this intercompany loan and the balance of this
intercompany loan was approximately $10.6 million. After payment of all creditors of AOL Mexico
(excluding intercompany obligations) and payment of the liquidation and wind down costs of AOL
Mexico, any funds remaining will be remitted in repayment of the loan to Reorganized AOLA LLC and
the Liquidating LLC for distribution in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

     As further described below, after an extensive process of marketing and negotiation, AOLA and
the management of AOL Argentina, with the assistance of the Company’s financial advisors, Cicerone
(as defined below), identified purchasers for AOL Argentina. On October 18, 2005, AOL Spain and
QuotaHolder, wholly-owned direct and indirect non-debtor subsidiaries of AOLA and the immediate
parent companies of AOL Argentina, entered into an agreement (a) to sell all the outstanding equity
of AOL Argentina to Datco S.A. and Comnet S.A. and (b) to assign certain intercompany debt owed by
AOL Argentina in favor of AOLA and AOL Spain. This transaction was approved by the Bankruptcy
Court on November 7, 2005. The sale of AOL Argentina was consummated on November 15, 2005.

     As of December 31, 2005, the AOLA Group had approximately 275,000 subscribers to the
AOL-branded country services and web-based interactive services. As of December 31, 2005, the AOLA
Group had approximately 100 full-time employees of whom 52 were located in Brazil (including 17
employees on unpaid medical leave), 15 were located in Mexico and 33 were located in the United
States (including 22 employees in Puerto Rico).8 The AOLA Group also had approximately
120 contract employees as of that date. The Debtors’ employees in the headquarters of the AOLA
Group and in Puerto Rico are employed by AOL Management LLC and Puerto Rico Management Services,
respectively.

     For the 3-month period ended March 31, 2005, AOLA recorded a net loss of approximately $72.6
million on revenues of approximately $12.8 million. AOLA’s accumulated deficit as of March 31,
2005 was approximately $1 billion. As of March 31, 2005, AOLA’s books and records reflected, on a
GAAP basis, total assets and liabilities of approximately $28.5 million and $181.8 million,
respectively.

     Pursuant to the Plan, the AOL Spain Equity Interests, the AOL Brazil Equity Interests, the AOL
Mexico Equity Interests, the AOL Venezuela Equity Interests, the QuotaHolder Equity Interests, the
D&O Insurance Policy and certain other Assets as will be set forth in the Plan Supplement
(collectively, the “Retained Assets”) will be retained by or transferred to Reorganized AOLA LLC,
unless otherwise disposed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date.

     As described in more detail below, the Debtors expect to sell or completely wind down the
operations of AOL Mexico and AOL Brazil and ultimately liquidate and dissolve these entities in
accordance with applicable laws. As described below, the Debtors have entered into an agreement
with Terra (as defined below) to engage in marketing activities to encourage the subscribers of AOL
Brazil to migrate to the internet services provided by Terra. The Debtors also may seek to enter
into agreements to encourage the existing subscribers of AOL Mexico to migrate to an alternative
Internet service provider. It is expected that a liquidator or administrator will administer all
litigation to which AOL Brazil is or may become a party. Following a resolution of all such
litigation, which the Debtors are advised could take from five to ten years, the liquidator or
administrator will liquidate all the remaining assets of AOL Brazil, dissolve AOL Brazil and
transfer all proceeds from the liquidation to Reorganized AOLA LLC and the Liquidating LLC for
distribution in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

     As further described below, the Debtors are continuing to develop certain business initiatives
at AOL Spain, with a view towards ultimately selling the entity. The Debtors anticipate that any
sale of AOL Spain will depend significantly upon whether AOL Spain successfully develops and
implements a business strategy and the existing market for AOL Spain during that time. No
assurance can be made, however, that the Debtors will be able to successfully develop AOL Spain’s
operating business, consummate a sale of AOL Spain or recover proceeds from any such sale.

B. Equity Ownership and Primary Indebtedness

     Equity Securities

     Time Warner and America Online together own approximately 52.1% of AOLA’s equity and control
approximately 63.4% of the voting power. The Cisneros Group Parties own approximately 31.6% of
AOLA’s equity and control approximately 34.2% of the voting power. The remaining 16.3% of the
equity and 2.4% of the voting power of AOLA is owned and controlled by Banco Itaú S.A. and its
affiliates (“Banco Itaú”) and public stockholders.

 

			
	8	 	In addition, the AOLA Group has one employee formerly
employed by AOL Argentina currently at AOL Spain.

9

 

     As of March 31, 2005, AOLA had issued and outstanding 135,260,715 shares of class A common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, 149,920,329 shares of series B redeemable convertible preferred
stock, which are owned or controlled by America Online and/or Time Warner, and 79,518,702 shares of
series C redeemable convertible preferred stock, all of which are owned or controlled by the
Cisneros Group Parties. As of the Petition Date, none of AOLA’s class B or class C common stock
was issued or outstanding.

     AOLA directly owns 100% of the equity and voting power of each of AOL Management LLC, AOL
Caribbean Basin and Puerto Rico Management Services.

     As specified in AOLA’s Fifth Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated
Certificate”), the entire board of directors of AOLA (the “Board”) consists of 15 members, of which
Time Warner and America Online, on the one hand, and the Cisneros Group Parties, on the other hand,
each has the right to elect directly five members. Holders of AOLA’s class A common stock, vote
together as a single class with the Holders of AOLA’s series B redeemable convertible preferred
stock and series C redeemable convertible preferred stock with respect to the election of the
remaining Board members. America Online, Time Warner and the Cisneros Group Parties control
approximately 97.6% of the voting power of AOLA’s capital stock and therefore have the power to
elect the remaining Board members. On August 19, 2005, AOLA announced the resignation of six of
the remaining Board members. As a result of the foregoing, the Board currently consists of four
directors, including one director appointed by the Cisneros Group Parties, one director appointed
by America Online and two independent directors. AOLA does not expect to fill the remaining seats
on the Board.

     Pursuant to the Restated Certificate, the Board has a special committee consisting of two
members (the “Special Committee”). One member of the Special Committee is selected by America
Online and Time Warner and the other member is selected by the Cisneros Group Parties, in their
capacities as Holders of AOLA’s series B redeemable convertible preferred stock and series C
redeemable convertible preferred stock, respectively. The Special Committee is required to approve
unanimously certain actions proposed to be taken by AOLA, such as approval of any merger,
consolidation, dissolution or liquidation of AOLA or any subsidiary, or any transaction having the
same effect. The Board has the power to exercise all powers of AOLA, with the exception of the
enumerated powers reserved for the approval of the Special Committee.

     Debt Instruments

     On March 8, 2002, AOLA entered into a note purchase agreement with Time Warner pursuant to
which Time Warner made available to AOLA $160 million in exchange for senior convertible notes due
in March 2007 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are convertible into shares of AOLA’s class A
common stock and bear an annual coupon of 11%, payable quarterly in cash or preferred stock. As of
the Petition Date, an aggregate principal amount of $160 million in Senior Notes was outstanding.

C. Events Leading to Chapter 11 Filing

     Since its inception, the AOLA Group as a whole has never been cash flow positive. Other than
the proceeds received from the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company has relied extensively on
access to equity capital from certain affiliates and third parties and the U.S. public equity
market in order to fund its capital expenditure and working capital needs.

     The AOLA Group as a whole has never been, nor is it projected to ever be, profitable. In
order to avoid the need to file for bankruptcy protection, the AOLA Group attempted, but was not
able to obtain additional financing to continue normal operations. Accordingly, after considering
all of the alternatives available to it, each of the Debtors’ boards of directors and board of
managers, as applicable, authorized

10

 

the wind down of the Business, by either attempting to sell all or a portion of the Business
and closing those businesses that could not be sold (the “Wind Down”).

     The Debtors commenced these Chapter 11 Cases to implement the Wind Down.

D. Prepetition Negotiations with Creditors and Shareholders

     Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors, the Principal Stockholders and Time Warner, in its
capacity as a stockholder and holder of Senior Notes, held several meetings to negotiate the terms
on which the Principal Stockholders and Time Warner would unanimously support the Wind Down and a
related plan of liquidation.

     On May 25, 2005, the Principal Stockholders executed a letter agreement (the “Letter
Agreement”), which was followed by a support agreement dated June 23, 2005, executed by the
Principal Stockholders and the Debtors (as amended by letter agreements dated September 30, 2005,
November 29, 2005 and December 15, 2005, the “Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the Letter
Agreement and the Support Agreement, the Principal Stockholders agreed to support a plan of
liquidation that provided, among other things, for the subordination of the claims of America
Online and Time Warner to the claims of other general unsecured creditors, if such general
unsecured creditors released from liability (the “General Release”), among others, (a) the
Principal Stockholders and the Principal Stockholders’ affiliates, officers, directors, employees
and members, (b) the Liquidating LLC, the LLC Agents and the LLC Administrator, (c) the Debtors,
(d) the Debtors’ direct and indirect subsidiaries other than the Debtors and (e) the officers,
directors, managers and employees of the Debtors and of each of AOLA’s other subsidiaries, serving
in such capacity as of the Petition Date or the Effective Date.

     The Letter Agreement and Support Agreement further provide that, after payment in full of
administrative expenses, priority claims and the claims of all accepting general unsecured
creditors who do not opt out of the General Release, Time Warner, on the one hand, and the Cisneros
Group Parties, on the other, will receive, taking into account the turnover, 60% and 40% of all
remaining available cash, respectively, subject to an adjustment based on the transfer by the
Debtors to America Online and Time Warner of certain assets used in connection with AOL Puerto Rico
and the Allowed AOL General Unsecured Claim, and subject to an adjustment on account of any
non-accepting general unsecured creditors who may be entitled to receive a pro rata share of all
remaining available cash. The Debtors and the Principal Stockholders believe that the terms of the
Plan comport with the Letter Agreement and the Support Agreement.

ARTICLE III

HISTORY OF THESE BANKRUPTCY CASES

A. General

     On June 24, 2005 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors commenced voluntary chapter 11 cases
before the Bankruptcy Court. On June 27, 2005, the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases were procedurally
consolidated for administrative purposes only.

     The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in
possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No official committee of
unsecured creditors has been appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases. No trustee or examiner has been
appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases.

     Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have been engaged in: (i) operating their businesses as
debtors in possession under the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) administering, managing and coordinating the

11

 

Chapter 11 Cases; (iii) winding down and liquidating the Debtors’ Assets and the Assets of the
Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiaries; and (iv) developing a plan by which the proceeds from the
liquidation of Debtors’ Assets will be distributed to Holders of Claims pursuant to the Bankruptcy
Code and in accordance with the Letter Agreement and the Support Agreement.

B. First Day Orders

     On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed customary “first day motions” which were granted by
the Bankruptcy Court on June 27, 2005. The first day orders included, among others: (i) an order
directing joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) an order authorizing the Debtors to
pay employee wages and other compensation; and (iii) an order authorizing the Debtors to continue
their cash management system.

C. Employee Matters

     1. Key Executive and Key Employee Retention and Severance Plans

     In early 2005, the Debtors determined that, due to the deteriorating financial condition of
the Debtors and their businesses, incentives beyond those provided in their ordinary compensation
scheme were necessary to retain their work force. In June 2005, the Debtors implemented employee
retention and severance plans (the “Retention Plans”) to motivate, retain and reward key executives
and other key employees for their continued service to the Debtors and thereby preserve the
enterprise value of each of the Debtors’ operations.

     On August 5, 2005, the Debtors filed a motion seeking authorization to enter into retention
agreements with certain key employees and pay retention bonuses to certain secured employees. The
retention agreements provided for approximately $969,356 in payments to six employees who were
identified as key to the Debtors’ business or wind down efforts. The Debtors obtained Bankruptcy
Court approval for the retention agreements by an order dated August 25, 2005. Three of the six
key employees voluntarily terminated their employment with the Debtors during September, October
and November 2005. None of these three key employees who voluntarily left their employment
received any amounts pursuant to the retention agreements.

     As a replacement for the three key employees who voluntarily terminated their employment, the
Debtors sought to create an incentive for an additional employee who was identified as key to the
Debtors’ Wind Down efforts. On November 1, 2005, the Debtors filed a motion seeking authorization
to enter into a retention agreement with AOLA’s Treasurer and Controller. The retention agreement
with this officer provided for approximately $205,065 in payments to him. The Debtors obtained
Bankruptcy Court approval to enter into this retention agreement on November 17, 2005.

     2. Separation
Agreement with Chief Executive Officer

     On
February 2, 2006, the Debtors filed a motion seeking approval of
a separation agreement and release of claims dated as of
January 31, 2006 with AOLA’s president and chief executive
officer (the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation
Agreement supersedes in its entirety an existing employment agreement
between the Company and its chief executive officer. Pursuant to the
Separation Agreement, AOLA’s president and chief executive
officer will cease his employment with AOLA as of March 2, 2006
and release the Debtors of all liability, as set forth in the
Separation Agreement. In consideration, AOLA has agreed to
(i) pay the chief executive officer $538,067 as severance and
(ii) provide continuing medical coverage for 14 months. Payment
of the severance amount is in addition to the payment of an ordinary
course 2005 performance bonus in the amount of $461,200. The
Separation Agreement represents a mutual release between the Company
and its chief executive officer. The Debtors obtained Bankruptcy
Court approval for the Separation Agreement by an order dated
February 23, 2006. The severance amount is payable on
September 12, 2006, or an earlier date, if the parties mutually
agree.

D. Professionals Retained by the Debtors

     To assist them in carrying out their duties as debtors in possession and to otherwise
represent their interests in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors employed, with authorization from
the Bankruptcy Court, Shearman & Sterling LLP and Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP (“Young
Conaway”) as bankruptcy co-counsel.

     The Debtors also retained Cicerone Capital LLC (“Cicerone”) as financial advisors, and agreed
to pay Cicerone a monthly advisory fee of $50,000 commencing on July 1, 2005. The Debtors also
agreed to pay Cicerone success fees of (i) not more than $1.2 million upon the consummation of a
sale of AOLA, (ii) not more than $1 million per transaction in connection with a sale of a
Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiary

12

 

(other than AOL Brazil) and (iii) $100,000 if AOL Brazil is sold for at least $33,000,000.
The retention of Cicerone expired on November 30, 2005 in accordance with the terms of the
original engagement letter with Cicerone. On February 2, 2006 the Debtors
filed an application with the Bankruptcy Court to extend the
retention of Cicerone through February 28, 2006. Pursuant to the
extension letter agreement between the Company and Cicerone,
Cicerone is entitled to a monthly advisory fee of $50,000 for the
month of December 2005 and a monthly advisory fee of $25,000 for each
of January 2006 and February 2006. The Debtors obtained Bankruptcy
Court approval to extend the retention of Cicerone by order dated
February 23, 2006.

E. Claims Process and Bar Date

     1. Schedules and Statements

     On July 29, 2005, the Debtors filed their respective schedules of assets and liabilities and
statements of financial affairs with the Bankruptcy Court. On September 19, 2005, the Debtors
filed amended schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs, to correct
and clarify certain information included in, or omitted from, the original schedules and
statements.

     2. Bar Date Order

     On August 26, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Bar Date Order”) (i)
establishing October 28, 2005 as the deadline (the “General Bar Date”) for prepetition creditors to
file proofs of claim against the Debtors, (ii) establishing December 21, 2005 as the deadline (the
“Governmental Bar Date”) for all governmental units to file proofs of claim against the Debtor, and
(iii) establishing the date by which proofs of claim relating to the Debtors’ rejection of
executory contracts or unexpired leases must be filed (the “Rejection Bar Date” and, together with
the General Bar Date and the Government Bar Date, the “Bar Dates”). Under the Bar Date Order, all
creditors (including governmental entities) were required to file proofs of claim for all claims
that arose prior to June 24, 2005 no later than the specified Bar Dates, or be barred from
asserting any Claim against the Debtors and from voting upon or receiving distributions under the
Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, Holders of D&O Indemnity Claims are not required to file proofs of
claim in respect of such D&O Indemnity Claims, and are not entitled to vote on the Plan in respect
of such D&O Indemnity Claims. Proofs of claim were not required to be filed by the applicable Bar
Date by the following parties: (A) any party seeking a claim in respect of any proof of claim or
request of administrative expenses arising under enumerated sections of the Bankruptcy Code; (B)
any party employed by the Debtors as of the Petition Date for services fulfilled in the ordinary
course of Debtors’ business; (C) any party having filed a proper request with the Bankruptcy Court
seeking to assert a proof of claim; (D) any party whose claims were previously allowed by, or paid
pursuant to, an order of the Bankruptcy Court; and (E) any party whose claim is listed on the
Debtors’ schedules in a liquidated amount and not designated as “contingent” or “disputed.”

     Pursuant to the Bar Date Order, any party that holds a claim arising from the rejection of an
executory contract or unexpired lease must file a proof of claim based on such rejection on or
before the date set forth in any order authorizing the Debtors’ rejection of such executory
contract or unexpired lease or the later of the General Bar Date and thirty (30) days after the
entry of such rejection order authorizing the Debtors’ rejection of such executory contract.

F. Sale and Wind Down of Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiaries

     Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors, in consultation with their
legal and financial advisors, considered a variety of strategic options and determined that the
best means to maximize the recovery for their stakeholders was to market the Company and seek
offers to purchase some or all of the Company’s Assets and/or the Non-Debtor Foreign Subsidiaries’
Assets. The Company’s management, together with Cicerone, undertook an extensive marketing process
for the Debtors’ Assets and contacted numerous prospective purchasers. Based on the results of
those efforts, the

13

 

Debtors determined to sell certain of the Company’s Assets and the Non-Debtor Foreign
Subsidiaries’ Assets and wind down certain business it could not sell or it did not make economic
sense to sell.

     1. Sale of AOL Argentina

     After extensive negotiations with various prospective purchasers, on October 18, 2005, AOL
Spain and QuotaHolder, wholly-owned subsidiaries of AOLA, entered into a Framework Agreement with
DATCO S.A. and Comnet S.A. for the sale of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of AOL
Argentina and the assignment by AOL Spain of certain intercompany debt owed by AOL Argentina in
favor of AOL Spain and AOLA (the “AOL Argentina Sale Transaction”). On October 18, 2005, the
Debtors filed a motion seeking approval (i) for AOLA to consent to the AOL Argentina Sale
Transaction, (ii) to assign certain intercompany debt owed by AOL Argentina in favor of AOLA, and
(iii) to enter into, perform under, and assign certain online services agreements with America
Online. The Bankruptcy Court approved AOLA’s consent to the AOL Argentina Sale Transaction by
order entered November 7, 2005. The AOL Argentina Sale Transaction was consummated on November 15,
2005 and is expected to result in a net cash receipt to the AOLA Group of approximately $302,000.

     2. Marketing Operations Coordination Agreement with Terra Networks Brasil S.A.

     For more than twelve months, the Company and the management of AOL Brazil, with the assistance
of Cicerone, were actively engaged in finding alternative solutions to realize value from the
business of AOL Brazil. Among other things, AOLA and the management of AOL Brazil solicited offers
from various Internet service providers in Brazil which management and Cicerone believed could form
strategic relationships with AOL Brazil, and the Company received various expressions of interests.

     On December 22, 2005, AOL Brazil and Terra Networks Brasil S.A. (“Terra”) entered into a
marketing operations coordination agreement (the “Terra Marketing Agreement”) to engage in joint
marketing activities to encourage the subscribers of AOL Brazil’s interactive services provided
through dial-up and broadband access (the “AOL Brazil Subscribers”) to migrate to the services
provided by Terra. Pursuant to the Terra Marketing Agreement, Terra will make four payments to AOL
Brazil which, in the aggregate, are estimated to total approximately 4.5 million reais
(approximately $1.9 million), but will not, in any event, be less than a minimum amount as
calculated on the effective date of the Terra Marketing Agreement, estimated to be approximately
1.8 million reais (approximately $760,000). The amount of the consideration will be based upon (i)
the number of AOL Brazil Subscribers on the effective date of the Terra Marketing Agreement and
(ii) the number of AOL Brazil Subscribers that switch to Terra’s services and pay one monthly bill.
On January 3, 2006, the Debtors filed a motion seeking approval for AOLA to consent to AOL
Brazil’s entry into the Terra Marketing Agreement, which was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court by order dated January 19, 2006. The proceeds of the Terra Marketing Agreement will be retained by AOL Brazil and the
transfer of these proceeds to Reorganized AOLA LLC and/or the Liquidating LLC for distribution in
accordance with the terms of the Plan is subject to the sale or ultimate dissolution of AOL Brazil.

G. Settlement Agreement with Banco Itaú

     AOLA and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AOL Brazil, entered into various agreements (the “Itaú
Agreements”) with Banco Itaú and certain of its affiliates in connection with the establishment of
a co-marketing relationship in Brazil among AOLA, AOL Brazil and the Itaú Parties (as defined
below). Pursuant to the Itaú Agreements, Banco Itaú acquired 10.1% of the class A common stock of
AOLA, and promoted the Internet services provided by AOL Brazil in Brazil to its customers as the
principal means of accessing Banco Itaú’s interactive financial services. Banco Itaú, together
with AOL Brazil, engaged in various marketing activities including establishing kiosks and
point-of-sale displays in bank branches

14

 

and providing customers with promotional materials for the AOL Brazil Internet service,
including CDs with the America Online software customized for the Brazilian market. The Internet
service provided by AOL Brazil to Banco Itaú customers was co-branded with the America Online and
Itaú brands (the “Co-Branded Service”). In addition, Banco Itaú was required to broadcast
television commercials promoting the Co-Branded Service.

     In connection with the Wind Down, AOLA and AOL Brazil negotiated with the Itaú Parties for an
efficient and orderly termination of the Itaú Agreements, and a settlement of all outstanding
issues relating to those agreements. Accordingly, on October 31, 2005, AOLA and AOL Brazil entered
into a Termination Agreement (the “Itaú Termination Agreement”), by and among AOLA, AOL Brazil,
America Online, AOL Spain, Banco Itaú (together with its Cayman Branch), Itaú Bank, Limited (“Itaú
Bank”), Banco Banerji S.A. (“Banerj” and collectively with Banco Itaú and Itaú Bank, the “Itaú
Parties”), Aspen Investments LLC and Atlantis Investments LLC.

     On November 1, 2005, the Debtors filed a motion seeking approval of the Itaú Termination
Agreement. The Bankruptcy Court approved the Itaú Termination Agreement and approved AOLA’s
entering into the Itaú Termination Agreement, by order entered November 17, 2005. The closing of
the Itaú Termination Agreement occurred on December 29, 2005. Pursuant to the Itaú Termination
Agreement, the Itaú Parties paid AOLA approximately $1.4 million and paid AOL Brazil R$4.7 million,
or approximately $2.1 million. The transfer of the proceeds of the Itaú Termination Agreement
retained by AOL Brazil to Reorganized AOLA LLC and/or the Liquidating LLC for distribution in
accordance with the terms of the Plan is subject to the sale or ultimate dissolution of AOL Brazil.

H. Latino Content Termination Agreement with America Online

     On September 2, 2004, AOLA and America Online entered into the Localization Services,
Licensing and Content Programming Agreement (as amended, the “Latino Content Agreement”). Pursuant
to the Latino Content Agreement, AOLA provided America Online Internet content and programming in
the Spanish language used in the Latino content area of the America Online-branded Internet
services in the United States. In addition, AOLA provided product localization services (managing
the translation of words and adapting art into Spanish, as well as providing quality assurance) for
products used by America Online in its Latino service in exchange for AOLA’s right to use such
localized products in Latin America. The Spanish language content and programming provided by AOLA
was produced by dedicated employees of AOL Mexico, retained specifically for such purposes. On
September 30, 2005, AOLA and America Online entered into a termination agreement (the “Latino
Content Termination Agreement”) to terminate the Latino Content Agreement and release each of the
parties from their obligations under the Latino Content Agreement.

     On October 18, 2005, the Debtors filed a motion seeking approval of the Latino Content
Termination Agreement. The Bankruptcy Court approved the Latino Content Termination Agreement by
order entered November 7, 2005. The termination of the Latino Content Agreement was effective as
of September 30, 2005. Termination of the Latino Content Agreement resulted in a net economic
benefit to AOLA and AOL Mexico by allowing AOL Mexico to terminate the dedicated employees retained
to produce the Latino Content, and allowed AOL Mexico to continue implementing the Wind Down.

I. Renewal of Directors and Officers Insurance Policy and Acquisition of Six Year Runoff Coverage

     On July 19, 2005, the Debtors filed a motion to authorize the Debtors to renew AOLA’s existing
directors and officers insurance policy and acquire runoff coverage for a six-year period. An
order granting the requested relief was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 4, 2005.

ARTICLE IV

PROGRESS OF THE WIND DOWN FOLLOWING THE PETITION DATE

A. Development of Business Initiatives at AOL Spain

     The Debtors are continuing to develop certain business initiatives at AOL Spain, including,
but not limited to, providing programming, website development, consulting services or market
research activities for third parties in and outside of Spain, with a view towards ultimately
selling the entity. The Debtors anticipate that any sale of AOL Spain will depend significantly
upon whether AOL Spain successfully develops and implements a business strategy and the existing
market for AOL Spain during that time. No assurance can be made, however, that the Debtors will be
able to successfully develop AOL Spain’s operating business, consummate a sale of AOL Spain or
recover proceeds from any such sale.

B. Wind Down of AOL Mexico

     AOL Mexico and, previously, Old AOL Mexico, together have provided AOL-branded Internet
services in Mexico for approximately five years. As of December 31, 2005, AOL Mexico had 15
full-time employees. AOLA is in the process of negotiation for strategic marketing relationships
for the migration of the subscribers of AOL Mexico. No assurances can be given, however, that the
AOLA Group will be successful in consummating such a transaction or that the AOLA Group will be
able to realize any benefits from such a transaction.

     Pursuant to the Plan, the majority equity interests in AOL Mexico will vest in Reorganized
AOLA LLC. QuotaHolder will retain its minority interest in AOL Mexico. The Debtors expect that,
following the Effective Date, AOL Mexico will be liquidated in accordance with Mexican law. To the
extent any assets remain following the liquidation of AOL Mexico, the proceeds of the liquidation
of such assets will be remitted to Reorganized AOLA LLC and the Liquidating LLC in repayment of an
intercompany loan for distribution in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Debtors expect
that, if AOL Mexico is not sold, Reorganized AOLA LLC and/or the Liquidating LLC will recover
approximately $1.5 million from the liquidation of AOL Mexico’s assets. No assurance can be made,
however, as to the amount that will ultimately be recovered from the liquidation of AOL Mexico.

C. Wind Down of AOL Brazil

     AOL Brazil has provided AOL-branded Internet services in Brazil for approximately five years.
As of December 31, 2005, AOL Brazil had 52 full-time employees (including 17 employees on unpaid
medical leave). In addition to the strategic relationship entered into with Terra in connection
with the AOL Brazil Subscribers as described above, AOLA is continuing to negotiate for the sale of
the equity of AOL Brazil. No assurances can be given, however, that the AOLA Group will be
successful in consummating a sale of AOL Brazil or that the AOLA Group will be able to realize any
benefits from such a transaction.

     Pursuant to the Plan, the majority equity interests in AOL Brazil will vest in Reorganized
AOLA LLC. QuotaHolder will retain its minority interest in AOL Brazil. The Debtors expect that,
following the Effective Date, an administrator or liquidator will be appointed in accordance with
local laws and practices to administer AOL Brazil, including resolving all litigation to which AOL
Brazil is or may become a party, and ultimately to liquidate AOL Brazil in accordance with
Brazilian law. The Debtors have been advised that the resolution of all litigation to which AOL
Brazil is or may become a party could take from five to ten years. The administrator or liquidator
for AOL Brazil will be able to dissolve AOL Brazil and complete the liquidation of AOL Brazil only
after all litigation in Brazil has been finally resolved. To the extent any assets remain
following the liquidation of AOL Brazil, they will be

16

 

transferred to Reorganized AOLA LLC and/or the Liquidating LLC for distribution in accordance
with the terms of the Plan. Due to the fact that the dissolution and liquidation of AOL Brazil is
conducted pursuant to a foreign legal regime, which dissolution and liquidation could take five to
ten years, the Debtors currently are unable to predict what their ultimate recovery from AOL Brazil
will be.

ARTICLE V

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE WIND DOWN

A. Transfer of Assets of AOL Puerto Rico

     After negotiating with the Principal Stockholders, the Debtors determined that the best means
to maximize the value of AOL Puerto Rico was to transfer the PR Assets to the TW Parties on account
of a portion of their Allowed TW Party Claims. The PR Assets are valued under the Plan at $15
million. As described in the Plan, AOLA will assume that certain letter agreement between America
Online and AOLA dated as of December 1, 2000, regarding the sharing of revenue from Puerto
Rico-based subscribers (the “PR Agreement”) and assign the PR Agreement to Time Warner (unless
otherwise directed by the TW Parties). Pursuant to the Plan, each Holder of an Allowed Class 4
General Unsecured Claim will receive its pro rata share (based on the Total Allowed Unsecured
Claims) of an aggregate amount of Cash equal to the net value of the PR Assets to be transferred to
the TW Parties pursuant to Section 3.3(c) of the Plan.

     Each of AOL Puerto Rico Management Services, Inc. and America Online Caribbean Basin, Inc.
will be dissolved pursuant to the Plan.

B. Post-Effective Date Transfer of AOL Venezuela

     AOL Venezuela S.R.L. (“AOL Venezuela”), a Venezuelan corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of AOLA, is a company that has never had any assets or operations. Pursuant to the Plan, the
majority equity interests in AOL Venezuela will vest in Reorganized AOLA LLC and QuotaHolder will
retain its minority interest in AOL Venezuela. Pursuant to an agreement among AOLA and the
Principal Stockholders, AOL Venezuela will be transferred to an affiliate of the Cisneros Group
Parties following the Effective Date. Reorganized AOLA LLC will receive only nominal consideration
for the transfer of this company.

C. TW Party Claims and payments to the TW Parties

     Pursuant to the Plan, the TW Party Claims include a general unsecured claim by America Online
against the Debtors in the amount of $1,592,430 (the “Allowed AOL General Unsecured Claim”). The
Allowed AOL General Unsecured Claim includes amounts owed by the Debtors in favor of America Online
for marketing costs in connection with AOL Puerto Rico. The TW Party Claims also include claims by
Time Warner arising under or in connection with the Senior Notes in the amount of $160 million.

     In addition, pursuant to a letter agreement among America Online, Time Warner, the Cisneros
Group Parties, AOLA, AOL Brazil and AOL Mexico dated January 17, 2006 (substantially in the form
attached to the Plan as Exhibit A, the “Shut-Down Costs Letter Agreement”), (i) AOL Mexico will
reimburse America Online up to $300,000 for the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
America Online in assisting AOLA in its efforts to terminate service, discontinue customers and
shut-down operations in connection with the Wind Down of AOL Mexico and (ii) AOL Brazil will
reimburse America Online up to approximately $1 million for the actual out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by America Online in assisting AOLA in its efforts to terminate service,
discontinue customers and shut-

17

 

down operations in connection with the Wind Down of AOL Brazil. The payments in (i) and (ii)
above will be grossed up to account for certain Mexican or Brazilian taxes, as applicable, in
accordance with the terms of the Shut-Down Costs Letter Agreement.

     In addition, to the extent AOL Mexico and/or AOL Brazil fail to make any payments as and when
required to be made under the Shut-Down Costs Letter Agreement (the “Unpaid Costs”), subject to the
following sentence, AOLA will pay any such Unpaid Costs. Unpaid Costs only will be payable by AOLA
(or Reorganized AOLA LLC from and after the Effective Date) from Available Cash (after payment or
reservation of amounts necessary to pay distributions on account of the Series A-1 Beneficial
Interests and the Series A-2 Beneficial Interests, if the LLC Option is elected). Pursuant to the
Shut-Down Costs Letter Agreement, the TW Parties and the Cisneros Group Parties have agreed that
any Unpaid Costs paid by AOLA will be on par with payments made to the Cisneros Group Parties on
account of the Series C Beneficial Interests. For greater certainty, for every $1 paid to AOL in
respect of Unpaid Costs, $1 must be distributed on account of the Series C Beneficial Interests.

ARTICLE VI

THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION

A. Introduction

     The following summary and other descriptions in this Disclosure Statement are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the provisions of the Plan and its exhibits, a copy of which is
annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Each Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest is urged to review
carefully the terms of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the
Plan and the summary contained herein, the terms of the Plan shall govern. All capitalized terms
not otherwise defined in this Disclosure Statement shall have the respective meanings set forth in
the Plan.

     In general, a chapter 11 plan (i) divides claims and equity interests into separate classes,
(ii) specifies the property that each class is to receive under the plan and (iii) contains other
provisions necessary to the reorganization or liquidation of the debtor. Under the Bankruptcy
Code, “claims” and “equity interests” are classified rather than “creditors” and “shareholders”
because persons may hold claims or equity interests in more than one class. For purposes of this
Disclosure Statement, the term “Holder” refers to the holder of a Claim or Equity Interest,
respectively, in a particular Class under the Plan.

     A chapter 11 plan may specify that certain classes of Claims or Equity Interests are either to
be paid in full upon effectiveness of the plan or are to remain unchanged by the plan. Such
classes are referred to as “unimpaired,” and because of such favorable treatment the holders in
such classes are deemed to accept the plan. Accordingly, it is not necessary to solicit votes from
the holders of claims or equity interests in such classes. A chapter 11 plan may also specify that
certain classes will not receive any distribution or property or retain any claim against a debtor.
Such classes are deemed to have rejected the plan and, therefore, need not be solicited to vote to
accept or reject the plan.

B. Rationale Underlying Plan Treatments of Claims

     The central economic terms of the Plan are derived from the Letter Agreement and the Support
Agreement among the Debtors and the Principal Stockholders. The distributions contemplated by the
Plan represent estimates of distributions accomplished through the compromises set forth in the
Letter Agreement and the Support Agreement.

18

 

C. Support Agreement and Treatment of Unsecured Creditors

     The Plan implements the terms of the Letter Agreement and the Support Agreement. The Debtors
entered into the Support Agreement because, in light of the amount of the TW Claims, Distributions
in full to creditors holding Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims and any Distributions to
Holders of Class 5 Existing Series C Interests would likely not have been possible absent the
turnover by Time Warner of the Series A-1 Beneficial Interests and the Series C Beneficial
Interests. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement and the Support Agreement, the TW Parties
consented to the turnover of a portion of the proceeds of their Distribution to (a) Holders of
Class 4 General Unsecured Claims who vote to accept the Plan and do not check the box opting out of
the General Release and (b) Holders of Class 5 Existing Series C Interests.

D. Compromise and Settlement

     As previously stated, the Plan incorporates an agreement reached among the Debtors and the
Principal Stockholders as to the terms of a consensual liquidation of the Debtors under chapter 11.
The terms of the Letter Agreement and the Support Agreement as embodied by the Plan represent a
proposed compromise and settlement among the TW Parties, Holders of Accepting Class 4 Claims and
the Cisneros Group Parties.

     Specifically, pursuant to the compromise and settlement embodied by the Plan, the TW Parties
have agreed to subordinate their claims to the Holders of General Unsecured Claims (which would
otherwise rank pari passu with the TW Party Claims) if such Holders vote to accept the Plan and
agree to release from liability, among others, (a) the Principal Stockholders and the Principal
Stockholders’ affiliates, officers, directors, employees and members, (b) the Liquidating LLC, the
LLC Agents and the LLC Administrator, (c) the Debtors, (d) the Debtors’ direct and indirect
subsidiaries other than the Debtors and (e) the officers, directors, managers and employees of the
Debtors and of each of AOLA’s other subsidiaries, serving in such capacity as of the Petition Date
or the Effective Date. Such subordination is expected to provide Holders of Accepting Class 4
Claims with a 100% recovery before the TW Parties retain any distributions made under the Plan
other than the PR Agreement and the Other PR Assets.

     The purpose of the Plan is to provide for the winding up of the businesses of AOLA and
subsidiaries and for terminating the AOLA-related relationships among Time Warner, America Online
and the Cisneros Group. The Plan also reflects a global settlement and compromise of all claims
and causes of action, if any, that could be brought by some or all of the Released Parties against
some or all of the other Released Parties, including, without limitation those claims and causes of
action arising out of the Senior Notes, the Principal Stockholders stockholdings and effective
control of AOLA, and the existence and administration of the various commercial agreements by and
among the Released Parties relating to AOLA. To this end, Time Warner has agreed to turn over the
Series C Beneficial Interests to the Cisneros Group Parties, representing an entitlement to 40% of
the proceeds of the liquidation (after the payment of administrative expenses, priority claims, and
the claims of all consenting general unsecured creditors), subject to an adjustment based on the
value of the transfer by the Debtors to Time Warner of certain assets in connection with AOL Puerto
Rico.

     The Plan is deemed to be a motion for approval of the compromise and settlement of the
foregoing issues. The confirmation of the Plan will constitute approval of the motion by the
Bankruptcy Court, and the Confirmation Order will contain findings supporting and conclusions
approving the compromise and settlement as fair and equitable and within the range of
reasonableness. The compromise and settlement is essential to the Plan. Without it, the Plan
could not be accomplished. The

19

 

Debtors believe that the compromise and settlement is fair, equitable, reasonable and in the
best interests of the Debtors, the Debtors’ creditors and the estates.

     The Debtors believe that the consideration provided to Holders of General Unsecured Claims and
Time Warner’s turnover of the Series C Beneficial Interests to the Cisneros Group Parties as a
result of the compromise and settlement proposed by the Plan reflects an appropriate resolution of
their Claims and Interests, taking into account the differing nature and priority of such Claims
and Interests and the fair value of the Debtors’ assets. In addition, the Debtors are realizing
the very significant benefit of accomplishing a consensual liquidation and wind-down in a shorter
time than would otherwise be possible, especially given the possibility of a corporate governance
stalemate and disputed litigation absent an agreement among the Principal Stockholders. This also
benefits all Holders of Claims and Interests, for a prolonged wind-down process would risk severe
deterioration and perhaps destruction of values for all Holders of Claims and Interests.

E. Distinguishing Plan from Recent Caselaw

     The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit recently held that a plan of
reorganization which provided for a turnover of distribution from a class of creditors to a class
of equity holders could not be confirmed in the face of opposition from an intervening creditor
class because it violated the absolute priority rule and no equitable exception to the absolute
priority rule applied. In re Armstrong World Indus., Inc., No. 05-1881, 2005 WL 3544810
(3d Cir. Dec. 29, 2005), aff’g, In re Armstrong World Indus., Inc., 320 B.R. 523
(D. Del. 2005).

     The Debtors believe that their Plan is distinguishable from the Armstrong plan in several key
aspects, and, therefore, assuming it is accepted by the creditors entitled to vote on the Plan, the
Plan should be confirmed notwithstanding that the Plan contains turnover provisions. The turnover
in the Debtors’ Plan between the TW Parties and the Cisneros Group Parties is satisfied solely from
the AOLA assets otherwise payable to the TW Parties under the TW Claims. As a result, such
turnover should not affect the rights and interests of the Holders of Allowed Class 4 General
Unsecured Claims.9 First, it is currently anticipated that Holders of Allowed Class 4
General Unsecured Claims who (1) vote to accept the Plan and (2) do not opt out of the General
Release will receive in the aggregate 100% of the Allowed amount of their Class 4 General Unsecured
Claims. Unlike the Armstrong plan, therefore, Holders of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims
are expected to be paid in full prior to any turnover of assets to Holders of Class 5 Existing
Series C Interests, if such Holders of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims grant the General
Release. To the extent any Holder of an Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim fails to return
its Ballot, the Liquidating LLC will endeavor to provide such Holder an opportunity to grant the
General Release at a later date to enable such Holder of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim to
receive in the aggregate 100% of its Allowed Claim.

     Second, the Third Circuit noted that under the Armstrong plan, the turnover only occurred if
the intervening class voted to reject the plan. Thus, the turnover provisions were expressly
designed to overcome a rejection of the Armstrong plan by the unsecured creditors, who were not
paid in full. The turnover provisions in the Debtors’ Plan are not contingent on any class’s
rejection or acceptance of the Plan. As described above, the turnover provisions were contemplated
in the Letter Agreement and the Support Agreement among the TW Parties and the Cisneros Group
Parties. It is further anticipated that, based upon the recovery provided in the Plan no Holder of
an Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claim will object to the treatment set forth in the Plan.

 

			
	9	 	The Plan also contains turnover provisions between
Time Warner and Holders of Accepting Class 4 Claims. This turnover does not
involve a distribution of assets to holders of junior interests and therefore
is not implicated by the holding of the Third Circuit in In re Armstrong
World Industries, Inc.

20

 

     Based on the foregoing, the Debtors believe that the Plan does not violate the absolute
priority rule and that the holding of the Third Circuit in In re Armstrong World Industries,
Inc. is inapplicable to the Plan.

F. Substantive Consolidation and Cancellation of Intercompany Claims

     The Plan is premised upon the substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ estates for the
purposes of voting on, confirmation of, and distributions under, the Plan. On the Effective Date:
(a) all assets and liabilities of the Debtors shall be merged or treated as though they were merged
into and with the assets and liabilities of each other Debtor; (b) all Intercompany Claims shall be
eliminated and extinguished, and no distributions shall be made under the Plan on account of any
Intercompany Claims; (c) any Claims against one or more of the Debtors based upon a guaranty,
indemnity, co-signature, surety or otherwise, of Claims against another Debtor shall be treated as
a single Claim against the consolidated estate of the Debtors and shall be entitled to
Distributions under the Plan only with respect to such single Claim; and (d) all allowed Claims
against the Debtors shall be satisfied from the assets of a single consolidated estate.

     Substantive consolidation is an equitable remedy that a court may be asked to apply in chapter
11 cases involving affiliated debtors. As contrasted with procedural consolidation, substantive
consolidation may affect the substantive rights and obligations of creditors and debtors.
Substantive consolidation involves the pooling and merging of the assets and liabilities of the
affected debtors; all of the debtors in the substantively consolidated group are treated as if they
were a single corporate economic entity. Consequently, a creditor of one of the substantively
consolidated debtors is treated as a creditor of the substantively consolidated group of debtors,
and issues of individual entity-level ownership of property and individual entity-level liability
on obligations are ignored. However, substantive consolidation does not affect the debtors’
separate entity-level existence or independent ownership of property for any purposes other than
for making distributions of property under a plan of reorganization or otherwise as necessary to
implement such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, substantive consolidation shall not affect the
obligations of any debtor to pay quarterly fees to the Office of the United States Trustee pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) until such time as such debtor’s particular case is closed, dismissed or
converted.

     The Plan constitutes a motion by the Debtors for the entry of an order providing for the
substantive consolidation of the Debtors for Plan and Claim purposes. The Debtors posit that an
adequate basis exists for the Bankruptcy Court to grant such relief for several reasons.
Importantly, the Debtors maintained and reported their financial information on a consolidated
basis, filed consolidated tax returns and shared the same management at the highest levels of their
corporate structure. Moreover, each of the Debtors other than AOLA is a wholly-owned direct
subsidiary of AOLA.

     Thus, the Debtors believe that substantive consolidation for purposes of the Plan is
appropriate, will not materially advantage the interests of any creditor over the interests of any
other and will not materially prejudice any of the Debtors’ creditors. In fact, the use of
substantive consolidation solely for purposes of calculating Claims will facilitate an effective
liquidation and foster similarity and fairness of treatment of creditors. In the event the
Bankruptcy Court does not approve the substantive consolidation of all of the Debtors as set forth
in the Plan, the Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan as the Debtors, in their sole
discretion, deem appropriate.

21

 

G. Administrative Claims, Professional Fees and Priority Tax Claims

     1. Administrative Claims

     Subject to the provisions of sections 330(a), 331 and 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, each
Administrative Claim that is Allowed shall be paid by the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC (as the
case may be), in full, in Cash, in such amounts as are incurred in the ordinary course of business
by the Debtors, or in such amounts as such Administrative Claim is Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court
upon (i) the later of the Effective Date or, if such Claim is Allowed after the Effective Date, the
date upon which there is a Final Order allowing such Administrative Claim, (ii) such other terms as
may exist in the ordinary course of such Debtor’s business and in accordance with the terms of any
agreement governing or documents evidencing such Administrative Claim or (iii) as may be agreed
upon between the Holder of such Allowed Administrative Claim and the Debtors or the LLC Agents.

     On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall fund the Administrative Claims Reserve Fund
and the Retention Payment Fund. In connection with each Distribution Date, the Debtors or the
Liquidating LLC, as the case may be, shall fund the Disputed Priority Claims Fund.

     Holders of Administrative Claims that have not been paid as of the Effective Date must file a
request for payment of Administrative Claims with the Bankruptcy Court and serve the same upon the
LLC Agents such that it is received no later than the Administrative Claim Bar Date. If an
Administrative Claim is not timely filed by the Administrative Claim Bar Date, then such
Administrative Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against Debtors, their
successors, their assigns or their property, the Administrative Claims Reserve Fund or the
Liquidating LLC. The foregoing two sentences shall not apply to (i) Professional Fee Claims, (ii)
Administrative Claims held by present or former employees of the Debtors arising under the
Retention Agreements or the Executive Employment Agreements and (iii) any Administrative Claims
constituting D&O Indemnity Claims, except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.14 of the Plan. An
objection to an Administrative Claim filed pursuant to provision 2.1(c) of the Plan must be filed
within ninety (90) days from the later of the date such Administrative Claim is filed and properly
served or ninety (90) days after the Effective Date. The Debtors reserve the right to seek an
extension of the time to object.

     Subject to the provisions of the Plan, all reasonable fees for services rendered on behalf of
Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan
after the Confirmation Date, including those relating to the resolution of pending Claims, may be
paid by Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC, as the case may be, without further Bankruptcy
Court authorization.

     2. Statutory Fees

     Without limiting the foregoing, all fees due and payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 that have not
been paid shall be paid on or before the Effective Date. Payments after the Effective Date shall
be made as required by statute and shall be paid by the Liquidating LLC.

     3. Professional Fees

     All final applications for Professional Fees for services rendered in connection with the
Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Confirmation Date shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court not later
than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date. Without limiting the foregoing, Reorganized AOLA
LLC and the Liquidating LLC may pay the charges that they incur on or after the Confirmation Date
for Professionals’

22

 

fees, disbursements, expenses, or related support services without application to or approval
by the Bankruptcy Court.

     4. Priority Tax Claims

     Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim has been paid by the
Debtors prior to the Effective Date, each Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall be paid by the Debtors
or the Liquidating LLC (as the case may be) in full, in Cash upon the later of (a) the Effective
Date, (b) the date upon which there is a Final Order allowing such Priority Tax Claim, (c) the date
such an Allowed Priority Tax Claim would have been due and payable if the Chapter 11 Cases had not
been commenced or (d) as may be agreed upon between the Holder of such an Allowed Priority Tax
Claim and the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC (as the case may be); provided, however, that each
Debtor or the Liquidating LLC, may, at its option, in lieu of payment in full of an Allowed
Priority Tax Claim, make Cash payments on account of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, deferred to
the extent permitted pursuant to section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code and, in such event,
interest shall be paid on the unpaid portion of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim at a rate to be
agreed upon by the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC (as the case may be) and the applicable
governmental unit or as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.

H. Classification and Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan

     1. Classification

     The categories of Claims and Equity Interests listed below classify Claims and Equity
Interests for all purposes, including voting, confirmation and distribution pursuant to the Plan
and pursuant to sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. A Claim or Equity Interest
shall be deemed classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Equity
Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and shall be deemed classified in a
different Class to the extent that any remainder of such Claim or Equity Interest qualifies within
the description of such different Class. A Claim or Equity Interest is in a particular Class only
to the extent that such Claim or Equity Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not been paid or
otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date. Intercompany Claims are not classified and shall be
discharged in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Plan.

     The Plan divides the Claims against, and the Equity Interests in, the Debtors into the
following Classes:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	Class	 	 	Claim	 	 	Status	 	 	Voting Right

Not Entitled to
Vote
	 
	 

23

 

     2. Acceptances and Rejections

     Each of Class 1 and Class 2 is Unimpaired under the Plan and Holders of Claims or Equity
Interests in Class 1 and Class 2 are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to
section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and not entitled to vote on the Plan. Each of Class 3 and
Class 4 is Impaired and is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Each of Class 5, Class 6
and Class 7 is Impaired, is deemed to reject the Plan and is not entitled to vote on the Plan.

     3. Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests

     (a) Class 1—Priority Claims against the Debtors

	 	(1)	 	Classification: Class 1 consists of all Claims against the
Debtors accorded priority in right of payment under section 507(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, other than an Administrative Claim or a Priority Tax Claim.
	 
	 	(2)	 	Treatment: The legal, equitable and contractual rights of the
Holders of Allowed Priority Claims are unaltered by the Plan. Unless the
Holder of an Allowed Priority Claim against the Debtors and the Debtors agree
to a different treatment, each Holder of an Allowed Priority Claim against the
Debtors shall receive one of the following alternative treatments, at the
election of the Debtors or the LLC Agents, as applicable:

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

	 	(3)	 	Voting: Class 1 is Unimpaired. The Holders of Priority Claims
against the Debtors are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan
pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and are not entitled to vote
to accept or reject the Plan.

     (b) Class 2—Secured Claims

	 	(1)	 	Classification: Class 2 consists of all Claims against the
Debtors that are secured by Liens on, or security interest in, property of the
Debtors, or that have the benefit of rights of setoff under section 553 of the
Bankruptcy Code, but only to
the extent of the value of the creditor’s interest in the Debtors’ interest
in such property, or to the extent of the amount subject to setoff, which
value shall be determined as provided in section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code.

24

 

	 	(2)	 	Treatment: Unless the Holder of a Class 2 Secured Claim agrees
to a different treatment, each Holder of an Allowed Class 2 Secured Claim shall
receive on the Effective Date, either (i) the return of such Assets on which
the Holder has a senior perfected and indefeasible lien or security interest,
or (ii) all proceeds (up to the amount of the Allowed Class 2 Secured Claim)
from the sale, liquidation, or abandonment of any Asset on account of which the
Holder has a senior, perfected and indefeasible Lien or security interest as
full and complete satisfaction of all Class 2 Secured Claims.

to accept or reject the Plan.
	 
	 	(4)	 	Subclasses: For convenience, the Plan classifies the Claims in
Class 2 as a single class. This Class is, in fact, a group of subclasses and

distinct Class for voting and distribution purposes.

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

	 	(1)	 	Classification: Class 3 consists of all Claims against the

and at the direction of Time Warner, to each of the Cisneros Group
Parties on an equal basis, and, if the LLC Option is elected, the right
to receive the Accepting Class 4 Distribution Amount as encompassed by

	 	 	 	The distribution made to Holders of Class 3 TW Party Claims shall be
in respect of the aggregate amount of Class 3 TW Party Claims and any
particular distribution made to a specific TW Party shall be in
respect of an agreement among the TW Parties. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, AOL shall not receive
property or cash hereunder with a fair market value that exceeds the
amount of the AOL General Unsecured Claim held by AOL. Any such
excess received by AOL hereunder shall be delivered to Time Warner in
consideration of the TW Note Claims.

pro rata share of the Series A-2 Beneficial Interests, and to the
extent such Holder is a Holder of an Accepting Class 4 Claim, its pro
rata share of the Series A-1 Beneficial Interests and (b) the PR
Distribution Amount; or
	 
	 	(B)	 	if the Cash Option is elected, (a) if such
Holder is a Holder of Accepting Class 4 Claims, such Holder’s Accepting
Class 4 Claim Payment and (b) if such Holder is a Holder of
Nonaccepting Class 4 Claims, (i) such Holder’s Nonaccepting Effective
Date Payment and (ii) the right to receive on each Distribution Date,
Cash derived from the Nonaccepting Class 4 Claims Fund equal to such
Holder’s pro rata share of Available Cash available for Distribution on
such Date as determined by the proportion that such Holder’s Allowed
Claim bears to the Total Allowed Unsecured Claims.
	 
	 	 	 	If the LLC Option is elected pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(i)(A) of the
Plan, on or before the Effective Date, the Debtors shall fund the
Disputed General Unsecured Claims Fund. If the Cash Option is
elected pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(i)(B) of the Plan, on or before

be reduced by the amount, if any, that was paid by the Debtors to the Holder of such Claim in
respect of such Allowed Claim prior to the Effective Date, including pursuant to any Final Order
entered by the

legal form of certain of their subsidiaries or to reincorporate certain of their respective
subsidiaries under the laws of jurisdictions other than the laws of which such subsidiaries are

resulting, or acquiring corporations.

subsection (d)(i) of Section 5.11 of the Plan (other than the Disputed General
Unsecured Claims Fund) shall constitute Available Cash; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	following the payment in full of all Accepting Class 4 Claims,
Available Cash shall be distributed to Time Warner; provided, that the Cisneros
Group Parties shall be entitled to receive all amounts payable with respect to
the Series C Beneficial Interests, which consists of the first $5,363,028 of
the amounts that, prior to the turnover of the Series C Beneficial Interests,
would have otherwise been allocable to Time Warner under subsection (e)(iii) of
Section 5.11 of the Plan and, thereafter, 40% of the amounts that, prior to the
turnover of the Series C Beneficial Interests, would have otherwise been
additionally allocable to Time Warner under subsection (e)(iii) of Section 5.11
of the Plan.

     (f) To the extent there is excess Cash in the Administrative Claims Reserve Fund, the
Liquidating LLC Expense Reserve, the Disputed Priority Claims Fund, the Retention Fund, and, if the
LLC Option is elected, the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Fund or if the Cash Option is elected,
the Nonaccepting Class 4 Claims Fund and the Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund, after the payment of
all amounts required to be paid from such reserve or fund, such Cash shall constitute Available
Cash and shall be distributed to the Holders of Allowed Class 4 General Unsecured Claims (to the
extent not already paid in full), Time Warner and the Cisneros Group Parties in accordance with the
terms of the Plan and the waterfall described above.

34

of the Final Decree. The status reports shall also be served on the US Trustee, and those parties
who have requested special notice post-confirmation. Until entry of the Final Decree, further

Each status report shall include a description of Assets sold or otherwise realized upon, gross and
net proceeds received, Distributions made, expenses incurred and paid, remaining Budget funds and

     Any Class of Claims or Equity Interests that is not occupied as of the date of the
commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by an Allowed Claim or an Allowed Equity Interest, or a

deemed deleted from the Plan for all purposes.

     14. Late Claims

     In accordance with the Bar Date Order, unless otherwise specifically ordered by the Bankruptcy
Court, any entity that was required to but did not file (a) a proof of claim in respect of a Claim
in compliance the procedures and deadlines established by the Bar Date Order or (b) a request for
payment of an Administrative Claim in compliance with Section 2.1 of the Plan, shall not be treated
as a creditor with respect to such Claim for the purposes of voting and distribution with respect
to the Plan.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Bar Date Order, Holders of D&O
Indemnity Claims shall not be required to file a proof of claim in respect of such D&O Indemnity
Claims except as set forth in a further order of the Bankruptcy Court. Holders of D&O Indemnity
Claims shall not be entitled to vote with respect to the Plan, in respect of such D&O Indemnity
Claims.

     15. Creation of the Liquidating LLC

     On the Effective Date, after the conversion of AOLA into Reorganized AOLA LLC pursuant to
Section 5.10 of the Plan, (i) the Liquidating LLC shall be created and established by the execution
and delivery of the Liquidating LLC Agreement and any other necessary action, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, and (ii) all Rights of Action and other Assets (excluding the Retained
Assets), any assets acquired by the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC under the Plan and all limited
liability company interests in Reorganized AOLA LLC, shall be transferred to the Liquidating LLC,
free of all Claims, Liens and interests. The costs and expenses incurred by the Liquidating LLC on
and after the Effective Date shall be paid by the Liquidating LLC.

     As of the Effective Date, the Liquidating LLC shall be responsible for (i) the winding up of
the Debtors’ Estates, (ii) liquidating or otherwise reducing to Cash the Assets and/or the Retained
Assets in accordance with the Liquidating LLC Agreement, (iii) filing, prosecuting and settling the
Rights of Action, (iv) making Distributions in accordance with the Plan to Holders of Allowed
Claims and Interests and (v) settling, resolving and objecting to Claims. The Liquidating LLC
shall have the authority without further Bankruptcy Court approval to liquidate the Assets, to hire
and pay professional fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors, to prosecute and settle
objections to Disputed Claims, to pursue any preserved Rights of Action, and otherwise to take such
other actions as shall be necessary to administer the Chapter 11 Cases and effect the closing of
the Chapter 11 Cases.

35

 

     The Liquidating LLC Interests shall not be transferable; provided, that Liquidating LLC
Interests received by (i) Time Warner may be transferred to any TW Party or any affiliate of any TW
Party and (ii) any Cisneros Group Party may be transferred to any other Cisneros Group Party or any
affiliate of the Cisneros Group Parties.

     The Liquidating LLC shall indemnify and hold harmless the LLC Agents and their professionals
from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, claims, damages or losses incurred by them as a
direct result of acts or omissions taken by them in their capacities as LLC Agents or agents of the
LLC Agents, except for acts judicially determined by Final Order to have been undertaken in bad
faith, by willful misconduct or by gross negligence.

     16. The LLC Agents

     The TW Parties and the Cisneros Group Parties shall each designate one individual to serve as
a LLC Agent, and the Debtors shall disclose such selections in the Plan Supplement. Following the
Effective Date, the LLC Agents shall act as agents on behalf of the Liquidating LLC to carry out
its obligations and exercise its rights in accordance with and subject to the Plan, the
Confirmation Order and the Liquidating LLC Agreement. The LLC Agents shall not be compensated for
their services except as set forth in the Liquidating LLC Agreement. Any objection to the
designation of the LLC Agents shall be raised at the Confirmation Hearing. The Confirmation Order
shall state that without the permission of the Bankruptcy Court, no judicial, administrative,
arbitration or other action or proceeding shall be commenced against the LLC Agents in their
official capacities, with respect to their status, duties, powers, acts or omissions as LLC Agents
in any forum other than the Bankruptcy Court. The LLC Agents shall be vested with the rights,
powers and benefits set forth in the Liquidating LLC Agreement, which shall include, without
limitation, all rights, powers, and benefits afforded to a “trustee” under sections 704 and 1106 of
the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the terms of the Plan. The LLC Agents shall be deemed to be
successors to the Debtors and estate representatives pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Subject to the provisions of the Liquidating LLC Agreement, the Liquidating LLC
and the LLC Agents shall be entitled to hire such professionals as the LLC Agents deem necessary to
assist the Liquidating LLC and the LLC Agents in carrying out their duties, including, without
limitation, the LLC Administrator, with the fees and expenses of such professionals (including,
without limitation, the LLC Administrator) to be borne by the Liquidating LLC. All references in
the Plan to the LLC Agents shall include the LLC Administrator, as designee of the LLC Agents.

     In addition to reporting requirements set forth in Section 5.11 of the Plan, the LLC Agents
shall regularly monitor the liquidation of Assets.

     Upon the date that all Claims have either become Allowed Claims or been resolved by Final
Order and all Distributions in respect of such Allowed Claims have been made, the balance of the
Administrative Claims Reserve Fund, the Retention Payment Fund, the Disputed Priority Claims Fund,
and, if the Debtors elect the LLC Option, the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Fund or if the
Debtors elect the Cash Option, the Nonaccepting Class 4 Claims Fund and the Accepting Class 4
Claims Fund shall constitute Available Cash.

     Subject to the terms of the Plan, the LLC Agents shall be authorized and empowered to pursue
and prosecute, to settle, or to decline to pursue, the Rights of Action, including all pending
adversary proceedings and contested matters, whether or not such Causes of Action have been
commenced prior to the Effective Date, and shall be substituted as the real party in interest in
any such action, commenced by or against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates or the Principal
Stockholders. The LLC Agents may pursue or decline to pursue the Rights of Action and may settle,
release, sell, assign, otherwise transfer or compromise such Rights of Action, in the LLC Agents’
business judgment, subject to the provisions of

36

 

the Plan without Bankruptcy Court approval. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, the
LLC Agents may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim and the Distributions to be
made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, any Rights of Action the Estates may have
against the Holder of the Claim, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim
hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the LLC Agents of any such Rights of Action,
set-off or recoupment which the Debtors may have against such Holder.

     The LLC Agents may be removed and replaced in accordance with the terms of the Liquidating LLC
Agreement.

     17. Treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

     (a) Assumption/ Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

     Any executory contracts or unexpired leases entered into by the Debtors prior to the Petition
Date which have not expired by their own terms on or prior to the Effective Date, which have not
been assumed and assigned or rejected with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, which are not (i)
the subject of a motion to assume the same pending as of the Effective Date, (ii) listed in the
Plan Supplement, (iii) in the case of executory contracts or unexpired leases relating to the Other
PR Assets, otherwise listed in the Plan Supplement, which contracts and leases shall be assumed by
the Debtors on the Effective Date and assigned to AOL (or to such other TW Party as directed by the
TW Parties) or (iv) otherwise to be assumed pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed rejected by the
Debtors on the Effective Date or as otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The entry of the
Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such rejections pursuant to
sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     The PR Agreement shall be expressly assumed by AOLA as of the Effective Date and assigned to
Time Warner (or to such other TW Party as directed by the TW Parties) pursuant to Section 3.3(c) of
the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent the Effective Date occurs prior to June 30, 2006,
(i) AOL shall remit (on a monthly basis) to the Liquidating LLC the net amounts that AOLA would
have otherwise been entitled to receive thereunder through and including June 30, 2006, had the PR
Agreement remained in effect as between AOL and AOLA (which net amounts shall be calculated and
determined in good faith between AOL and Reorganized AOLA LLC and shall take into consideration the
costs of operating AOL Puerto Rico in a manner substantially similar to historical practices) and
(ii) the Liquidating LLC shall be entitled to exercise all of AOLA’s rights and enforce any
remedies available to AOLA under the PR Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date
through and including June 30, 2006; provided, further, however, that (x) on or before the
Effective Date, AOL shall remit to the Liquidating LLC all accrued and unpaid amounts, or a good
faith estimate thereof, owing by AOL in favor of the Debtors pursuant to the PR Agreement as of the
last business day of the preceding calendar month and (y) within 30 days of the Effective Date, AOL
shall remit to the Liquidating LLC all accrued and unpaid amounts owing by AOL in favor of the
Debtors pursuant to the PR Agreement as of the Effective Date not theretofore paid. The LLC Agents
shall use all proceeds received pursuant to Section 6.1(b) of the Plan in accordance with the terms
of the Plan and the Liquidating LLC Agreement.

     The AOL License shall be expressly rejected by the Debtors on the Effective Date; provided,
however, that the effective date of such rejection, as to each country, shall be the earlier of (i)
the transfer of that country’s operations or final wind-down of operations and (ii) June 30, 2006.

     On and after the Effective Date, each of the TW Parties shall be deemed to have released
unconditionally each of the Debtors, Reorganized AOLA LLC and the Liquidating LLC from the AOL
License Rejection Claims.

37

 

     The Executive Employment Agreements shall be assumed by the Debtors pursuant to the provisions
of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and assigned to the Liquidating LLC as of the
Effective Date.

     The Retention Agreements shall be assigned by the Debtors pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of
the Bankruptcy Code to the Liquidating LLC as of the Effective Date. The Liquidating LLC shall pay
all Retention Payments as they become due and payable to each Key Employee from the Retention
Payment Fund, and, except as set forth in Section 5.11(f) of the Plan, the proceeds in the
Retention Payment Fund shall be used solely for the purpose of making Retention Payments.

     On the Effective Date, the Shut-Down Costs Letter Agreement shall be assumed (without the
payment of any cure costs) and assigned by the Debtors or Reorganized AOLA LLC, as applicable, to
the Liquidating LLC, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. AOLA or Reorganized
AOLA LLC, as applicable, shall perform its obligations under the Shut-Down Costs Letter Agreement.

     (b) Rejection Damage Claims

     Notwithstanding anything in the Bar Date Order to the contrary, Claims arising out of the
rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases rejected as of the Effective Date pursuant to
the Plan must be filed and served on the Liquidating LLC pursuant to the procedures specified in
the Confirmation Order or another order of the Bankruptcy Court, no later than thirty (30) days
after the Effective Date. Any Claim not filed within such time will be forever barred from
assertion against the Liquidating LLC, the Debtors, and their Estates, their respective successors
or their respective properties. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all Claims
arising from the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be treated as
Unsecured Claims under the Plan.

     (c) Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

     The obligations of the Debtors to indemnify the Indemnified Employees shall be deemed and
treated as executory contracts and shall be assumed by the Debtors (and, if such contract is
assumed by a Debtor other than AOLA, assigned to Reorganized AOLA LLC) pursuant to the Plan and
section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. The obligations of Reorganized AOLA
LLC to indemnify the Indemnified Employees shall be funded, to the extent necessary, by the
Liquidating LLC. Accordingly, such indemnification obligations shall survive unimpaired and
unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order, irrespective of whether such indemnification is owed
for an act or event occurring before or after the Petition Date, except if such claim or liability
is determined pursuant to a Final Order to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful
misconduct, fraud or criminal conduct of such indemnified Person. To the extent the D&O Insurance
Policy is an executory contract, the D&O Insurance Policy shall be assumed by AOLA pursuant to the
Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. To the extent the D&O
Insurance Policy is not an executory contract, the D&O Insurance Policy shall vest in Reorganized
AOLA LLC pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Plan. To the extent the existence of Reorganized AOLA LLC
is terminated (whether by merger, dissolution, liquidation or otherwise) prior to the expiry of the
D&O Insurance Policy, the Liquidating LLC and Reorganized AOLA LLC shall take all necessary
measures to ensure that the D&O Insurance Policy remains in full force and effect until the expiry
of the D&O Insurance Policy in accordance with the terms thereof.

     (d) Benefits, Compensation and Severance

     The Assumed Benefit Plans shall be treated as executory contracts and shall be assumed by the
Debtors (and, if such contract is assumed by a Debtor other than AOLA, assigned to Reorganized AOLA

38

 

LLC) pursuant to the Plan and sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Assumed
Benefit Plans shall continue to be funded, to the extent necessary, by the Liquidating LLC. The
Debtors are not aware of, after having made diligent inquiry, any obligation to pay “retiree
benefits” as defined in section 1114(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

     Executive Employment Agreements. To the extent not paid or fully performed prior to the
Effective Date, from and after the Effective Date, the Debtors, Reorganized AOLA LLC or the
Liquidating LLC, as applicable, shall pay all amounts required to be paid by the Debtors under the
Executive Employment Agreements and perform all obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms
thereof.

     Severance. To the extent not paid or fully performed prior to the Effective Date, from and
after the Effective Date, the Debtors, Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC, as applicable,
shall pay all amounts agreed in writing to be paid by the Debtors to any employee terminated by the
Debtors or any employee who mutually agrees with any Debtor to leave such Debtors’ employ on or
after the Petition Date (and to perform any obligations set forth in such writing) in accordance
with the terms of such written agreement.

J. Provisions Governing Distributions

     1. Distribution to Creditors

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

     2. Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date

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

     3. Disputed Priority Claims Fund; Disputed General Unsecured Claims Fund; Nonaccepting Class 4
Claims Fund and Accepting Class 4 Claims Fund

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

     4. Delivery of Distributions

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

39

 

     5. Undeliverable Distributions

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

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

     6. Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocation

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

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

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

40

 

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

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

     7. Fractional Dollars, De Minimis Distributions

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

     8. Set-Offs and Recoupments

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

41

 

     9. Time Bar to Cash Payments

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

     10. Manner of Payment Under Plan of Reorganization

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

K. Procedures for Resolving Disputed Claims

     1. Prosecution of Objections to Claims

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

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

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

     2. Estimation of Claims

     The Liquidating LLC may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any
contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of
whether the Debtors or the Liquidating LLC previously objected to such Claim or whether the
Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction
to

42

 

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

     3. Cumulative Remedies

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

     4. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims

     Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, except as otherwise agreed by the
LLC Agents in their sole discretion, no partial payments and no partial distributions will be made
with respect to a Disputed Claim until the resolution of such dispute by settlement or Final Order.
Subject to the provisions of Article IX of the Plan, as soon as practicable after a Disputed Claim
becomes an Allowed Claim, the Holder of such Allowed Claim will receive all payments and

52

 

against, and Equity Interests in the Debtors shall be satisfied and released in full and (3)
all Persons and Entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors, the Liquidating LLC
or any of their Assets or properties any other or further Claims or Equity Interests based upon any
act or omission, transaction or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred before the
Confirmation Date.

     5. Revocation of Plan

     The Debtors reserve the right to revoke and withdraw the Plan at any time prior to the
Confirmation Date. If the Plan is so revoked or withdrawn, or if the Effective Date does not
occur, then the Plan shall be deemed null and void, and of no force or effect.

     6. Successors and Assigns

     The rights, benefits and obligations of any Person or Entity named or referred to in the Plan
shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor
or assign of such Person or Entity.

     7. Post-Effective Date Fees and Expenses

     From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidating LLC may, in the ordinary course of business
and without the necessity for any approval by the Bankruptcy Court, pay the reasonable professional
fees and expenses incurred by the LLC Agents and the Liquidating LLC related to implementation and
consummation of the Plan.

     8. Allocation of Payments

     Unless otherwise required by law, to the extent that any Allowed Claim entitled to a
distribution under the Plan is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
such distribution shall be allocated, for income tax purposes, to the principal amount of the Claim
first and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of the Claim, to the
portion of such Claim representing accrued but unpaid interest.

     9. Section 1145 Exemption

     Pursuant to section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the offer, issuance, transfer or exchange
of any security under the Plan, or the making or delivery of an offering memorandum or other
instrument of offer or transfer under the Plan, shall be exempt from section 5 of the Securities
Act or any similar state or local law requiring the registration for offer or sale of a security or
registration or licensing of an issuer or a security.

     10. Governing Law

     Except to the extent that other federal law is applicable, or to the extent that an exhibit
hereto or to the Plan Supplement provides otherwise, the rights, duties and obligations arising
under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Bankruptcy
Code and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York.

     11. Severability

     If, prior to entry of the Confirmation Order, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the
Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the

53

 

Debtors (upon the prior written consent of the Principal Stockholders), shall have the power
to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent
practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void
or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as so altered or interpreted.
Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and
provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order
shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the
Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid and
enforceable pursuant to its terms.

     12. Implementation

     The Debtors shall take all steps, and execute all documents, including appropriate releases,
necessary to effectuate the provisions contained in the Plan.

     13. Inconsistency

     In the event of any inconsistency among the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, any exhibit to the
Plan or to the Plan Supplement or any other instrument or document created or executed pursuant to
the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

     14. Further Assurances

     The Debtors, Reorganized AOLA LLC, the Liquidating LLC, the LLC Agents and all Holders of
Claims and Equity Interests receiving Distributions under the Plan and all other parties in
interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute and deliver any agreements or documents and
take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of
the Plan.

     15. Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes

     Pursuant to section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code: (a) the issuance, transfer or exchange of
any securities, instruments or documents; (b) the creation of any other Lien, mortgage, deed of
trust or other security interest; (c) the making or assignment of any lease or sublease or the
making or delivery of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, pursuant to, in furtherance
of, or in connection with the Plan, including, without limitation, any deeds, bills of sale or
assignments executed in connection with any of the transactions contemplated under the Plan or the
reinvesting, transfer or sale of any real or personal property of the Debtors pursuant to, in
implementation of, or as contemplated in the Plan, and (d) the issuance, renewal, modification or
securing of indebtedness by such means, and the making, delivery or recording of any deed or other
instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including,
without limitation, the Confirmation Order, shall not be taxed under any law imposing a stamp tax
or similar tax. Consistent with the foregoing, each recorder of deeds or similar official for any
county, city or governmental unit in which any instrument hereunder is to be recorded shall,
pursuant to the Confirmation Order, be ordered and directed to accept such instrument without
requiring the payment of any stamp tax or similar tax.

     16. Compromise of Controversies

     Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distribution
and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good
faith compromise and settlement of all Claims or controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan. The
entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of each of the
foregoing compromises or

54

 

settlements, and all other compromises and settlements provided for in the Plan, and the
Bankruptcy Court’s findings shall constitute its determination that such compromises and
settlements are in the best interests of the Debtors, Reorganized AOLA LLC, the Estates, and any
Entity holding Claims against the Debtors.

     17. No Admissions

     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, nothing contained in the Plan shall be
deemed as an admission by an Entity with respect to any matter set forth in the Plan.

     18. Filing of Additional Documents

     On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may file with the Bankruptcy Court such
agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further
evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan.

     19. Continuing Viability of Other Orders

     Except to the extent expressly modified by the Plan, all Final Orders shall continue in full
force and effect.

     20. Closing of Cases

     The LLC Agents shall, promptly upon the full administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, file with
the Bankruptcy Court all documents required by Bankruptcy Rule 3022 and any applicable order of the
Bankruptcy Court to obtain a Final Decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases.

address. In addition, copies of the Plan, this Disclosure Statement and their exhibits is
available online at http://www.aola.com.10

B. Classes Entitled to Vote

     Subject to the provisions of the Disclosure Statement Order, any Holder of a Claim against the
Debtors as of the Petition Date in Class 3 TW Party Claims and Class 4 General Unsecured Claims
which Claim has not been Disallowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court or is not Disputed, shall be
entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan if either (i) such Holder’s Claim has been scheduled
by the Debtors (and such Claim is not scheduled as disputed, contingent or unliquidated), or (ii)
such Holder has filed a proof of claim on or before the Bar Date.

     Holders of Claims in Class 1 Priority Claims and Class 2 Secured Claims are not entitled to
vote to accept or reject the Plan because such Classes are unimpaired by the Plan. Holders of
Equity Interests and/or Claims in Class 5 Existing Series C Interests, Class 6 Other Equity
Interests and Class 7 Subordinated Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan
because Class 5 Existing Series C Interests, Class 6 Other Equity Interests and Class 7
Subordinated Claims are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

     Unless otherwise permitted in the Plan, the Holder of any Disputed Claim is not entitled to
vote with respect to such Disputed Claim, unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon application by such
Holder, temporarily allows such Disputed Claim for the limited purpose of voting to accept or
reject the Plan. Any such application must be heard and determined by the Bankruptcy Court prior
to the Confirmation Hearing. A vote on the Plan may be disregarded if the Bankruptcy Court
determines, after notice and a hearing, that such vote was not solicited or procured in good faith
or in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

C. Vote Required for Acceptance by Classes of Claims

     The Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a class of claims as acceptance by holders
of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of the claims of that
class which actually cast ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plan. Thus, acceptance by a
class of claims occurs only if at least two-thirds in dollar amount and a majority in number of the
Holders of such claims voting cast their ballots in favor of acceptance.

be available online on AOLA’s website after entry of the Disclosure
Statement Order.

     CREDITORS AND OTHER PARTIES IN INTEREST ARE CAUTIONED TO REVIEW THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ORDER
AND THE PLAN FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF VOTING REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, USE OF
BALLOTS.

ARTICLE VIII

CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

     Under the Bankruptcy Code, the following steps must be taken to confirm the Plan.

A. Confirmation Hearing

     Section 1128(a) of the Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court, after notice, to hold a
hearing on confirmation of a plan. By order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Confirmation Hearing has
been scheduled for April 25, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) before the Hon. Mary F. Walrath in United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, 824 Market Street, 5th Floor,
Wilmington, Delaware. The Confirmation Hearing may be adjourned from time to time by the
Bankruptcy Court without further notice except for an announcement made at the Confirmation Hearing
or any adjournment thereof.

     Section 1128(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that any party in interest may object to
confirmation of a plan. Any objection to confirmation of the Plan must be in writing, conform to
the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Local Rules of the Bankruptcy Court and set forth
the name of the objecting party, the nature and amount of the Claim or Equity Interest held or
asserted by the objecting party against the Debtors’ estates or property, the basis for the
objection and the specific grounds therefor. The objection, together with proof of service
thereof, must then be filed with the Bankruptcy Court, with a copy to chambers, and served upon (i)
co-counsel to the Debtors, Shearman & Sterling LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022
(Attn: Douglas P. Bartner, Esq./Michael H. Torkin, Esq.); (ii) co-counsel to the Debtors, Young
Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP, The Brandywine Building, 1000 West Street, 17th Floor, P.O. Box 391,
Wilmington, Delaware 19801 10036 (Attn: Pauline K. Morgan, Esq./Edmon L. Morton, Esq.); (iii) the
Office of the United States Trustee, J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building, 844 King Street, 2nd Floor,
Wilmington, Delaware 19801 (Attn: David Klauder, Esq.); (iv) counsel to Time Warner Inc. and
America Online, Inc., Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York
10017 (Attn: Elisha D. Graff, Esq.); and (v) counsel to the Cisneros Group Parties, Kaye Scholer
LLP, 425 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022 (Attn: Benjamin Mintz, Esq.).

     Objections to confirmation of the Plan are governed by Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure
9014. UNLESS AN OBJECTION TO CONFIRMATION IS TIMELY AND PROPERLY
SERVED AND FILED BY APRIL 3, 2006 AT
4:00 P.M. (PREVAILING EASTERN TIME), IT MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.

57

 

B. Requirements for Confirmation of the Plan

     At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan only if all of the
requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code are met. Among the requirements for
confirmation are that the Plan (a) is accepted by all impaired Classes of Claims and Equity
Interests or, if rejected by an impaired Class, that the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and
is “fair and equitable” as to such Class, (b) is feasible and (c) is in the “best interests” of
Holders of Claims and Equity Interests impaired under the Plan.

     1. Acceptance

     Claims in Class 1 and Class 2 are unimpaired by the Plan, and the Holders thereof are
conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan.

     Claims in Class 3 and Class 4 are impaired and the Holders of such Claims are entitled to vote
on the Plan. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, Time Warner and AOL have agreed to vote to accept
a plan of reorganization or liquidation that constitutes a “Qualified Plan” as such term is defined
in the Support Agreement. The Debtors and the TW Parties agree that the Plan constitutes a
“Qualified Plan.” Accordingly, the Debtors believe that, consistent with their obligations under
the Support Agreement, Holders of Class 3 TW Party Claims will vote to accept the Plan.

     Holders of Class 5 and Class 6 Equity Interests and Holders of Class 7 Subordinated Claims are
deemed to have rejected the Plan because they will not receive a Distribution from the Debtors
under the Plan.

     2. Fair and Equitable Test

     The Debtors will seek to confirm the Plan notwithstanding the nonacceptance or deemed
nonacceptance of the Plan by any impaired Class of Claims or Interests. To obtain such
confirmation, it must be demonstrated to the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan “does not discriminate
unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to such dissenting impaired Class. A plan does
not discriminate unfairly if the legal rights of a dissenting class are treated in a manner
consistent with the treatment of other classes whose legal rights are substantially similar to
those of the dissenting class and if no class receives more than it is entitled to for its claims
or equity interests. The Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies this requirement.

     The Bankruptcy Code establishes different “fair and equitable” tests for secured claims,
unsecured claims and equity interests, as follows:

     (a) Secured Claims: Either the plan must provide: (i) for the holders of such claims
to retain the liens securing such claims, whether the property subject to such liens is retained by
the debtor or transferred to another entity, to the extent of the allowed amount of such claims,
and each holder of a claim receives deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of
such claim, of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, of at least the value of such
holder’s interest in the estate’s interest in such property; (ii) for the sale of any property that
is subject to the liens securing such claims, free and clear of such liens, with such liens to
attach to the proceeds of such sale; or (iii) for the realization by such holders of the
indubitable equivalent of such claims.

     (b) Unsecured Claims: Either (i) each holder of an impaired unsecured claim receives
or retains under the plan property of a value equal to the amount of its allowed claim or (ii) the
holders of

58

 

claims and equity interests that are junior to the claims of the dissenting class will not
receive any property under the plan.

     (c) Equity Interests: Either (i) each equity interest holder will receive or retain
under the plan property of a value equal to the greater of (y) the fixed liquidation preference or
redemption price, if any, of such stock or (z) the value of the stock, or (ii) the holders of
equity interests that are junior to the stock will not receive any property under the plan.

     THE DEBTORS BELIEVE THAT THE PLAN MAY BE CONFIRMED ON A NON-CONSENSUAL BASIS (PROVIDED AT
LEAST ONE IMPAIRED CLASS OF CLAIMS VOTES TO ACCEPT THE PLAN). THE DEBTORS BELIEVE THAT, CONSISTENT
WITH THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SUPPORT AGREEMENT, HOLDERS OF CLASS 3 TW PARTY CLAIMS WILL VOTE TO
ACCEPT THE PLAN. ACCORDINGLY, THE DEBTORS BELIEVE THEY WILL DEMONSTRATE AT THE CONFIRMATION
HEARING THAT THE PLAN SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1129(b) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AS TO
ANY NON-ACCEPTING CLASS.

C. Feasibility

     The Bankruptcy Code requires that confirmation of a plan is not likely to be followed by the
liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of a debtor other than as set forth in
such plan. The Plan contemplates that all Assets of the Debtors, excluding the Retained Assets,
will be transferred to the Liquidating LLC. The Retained Assets will vest in Reorganized AOLA LLC.
The Liquidating LLC will hold 100% of the limited liability company interests of Reorganized AOLA
LLC. The Debtors believe that all the Assets of the Debtors, including the Retained Assets,
ultimately will be disposed of and all proceeds of the Assets will be distributed by the
Liquidating LLC in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Since no further financial
reorganization of the Debtors will be possible, the Debtors believe that the Plan meets the
feasibility requirement. In addition, based upon the availability of Assets for distribution, the
Debtors believe that sufficient funds will exist at confirmation to make all payments required by
the Plan including to fund the development of AOL Spain’s operating business and to fund the wind
downs contemplated by the Plan.

     “Best Interests” Test

     With respect to each impaired Class of Claims and Equity Interests, confirmation of the Plan
requires that each Holder of an impaired Claim or Equity Interest either (a) accepts the Plan or
(b) receives or retains under the Plan property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan,
that is not less than the value such Holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated
under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     This analysis requires the Bankruptcy Court to determine what the Holders of Allowed Claims
and Allowed Equity Interests in each impaired Class would receive from the liquidation of the
Debtors’ Assets and properties in the context of chapter 7 liquidation cases. The value available
for distribution to unsecured creditors and the Holders of Equity Interests would be reduced by the
costs and expenses of the liquidation and by such additional administrative and priority claims
that may result from the termination of the Debtors’ business and the use of chapter 7 for the
purposes of liquidation.

     The Debtors’ costs of liquidation under chapter 7 would include the fees payable to a trustee
in bankruptcy, as well as those payable to attorneys, real estate brokers, accountants and other
professionals that such a trustee may engage, plus any unpaid expenses incurred by the Debtors
during the Chapter 11

59

 

Cases, such as compensation for attorneys, financial advisors, accountants and costs and
expenses of members of any official committees that are allowed in the chapter 7 cases.

     The foregoing types of Claims and such other claims which may arise in the liquidation cases
or result from the pending Chapter 11 Cases would be entitled to be paid in full from the
unencumbered liquidation proceeds, if any, before the balance of those proceeds would be made
available to pay prepetition Claims.

     To determine if the Plan is in the best interests of each impaired class, the value of the
distributions from the proceeds of the liquidation of the Debtors’ unencumbered assets and
properties (after subtracting the amounts attributable to the aforesaid claims) is then compared
with the value offered to such classes of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan.

     After consideration of the effects that a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the ultimate
proceeds available for distribution to creditors, including (a) the increased costs and expenses of
a liquidation under chapter 7 arising from fees payable to a trustee in bankruptcy and professional
advisors to such trustee and (b) the anticipated erosion in value of assets in a chapter 7 case
resulting from the “forced sale” atmosphere that would prevail, the Debtors believe that
confirmation of the Plan will provide each Holder of an Allowed Claim with more than the amount it
would receive pursuant to liquidation of the Debtors under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE IX

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The Debtors have filed Statements of Financial Affairs and Schedules of Assets and Liabilities
with the Bankruptcy Court as required by the Bankruptcy Code. As debtors in possession, the
Debtors have filed and will continue to file monthly operating reports required by the United
States Trustee operating guidelines. This financial information may be examined in the Bankruptcy
Court Clerk’s Office. Also, attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit B is the
Debtors’ most current unaudited balance sheet.

ARTICLE X

ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN

     If the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, the alternatives include (a) liquidation of the
Debtors under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or (b) dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases.

A. Liquidation Under Chapter 7

     If no plan can be confirmed, the Chapter 11 Cases may be converted to cases under chapter 7 of
the Bankruptcy Code, in which case a trustee would be elected or appointed to liquidate any
remaining assets of the Debtors for distribution to their creditors. The Debtors believe that
conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would result in
diminished distributions to creditors due to the projected reduced value the Debtors’ estates would
realize from their remaining assets due to the “forced sale” environment of a chapter 7 liquidation
and the increased costs of administration. Moreover, the enhanced distribution to Holders of Class
4 General Unsecured Claims described above and the turnover to Holders of Class 5 Existing Series C
Interests would not be available in a chapter 7 proceeding. The Debtors’ liquidation analysis is
attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit C.

60

 

B. Alternative Chapter 11 Plan

     If the Plan is not confirmed, the Debtors or any of the parties in interest could attempt to
formulate a different chapter 11 plan. In light of the additional administrative expenses
attendant to an alternative plan, it is doubtful that sufficient funds would be available to pay
such expenses and confirm an alternative plan. The Debtors believe that the Plan described herein
will provide the greatest and most expeditious return to creditors.

ARTICLE XI

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN

     The following is a discussion of certain significant U.S. federal (“federal”) income tax
considerations of the Plan under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to the
Holders of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims (“GUC Holders”). This general description does not,
except to the limited extent provided in the second following paragraph, discuss any aspects of
federal income taxation that may be relevant to the TW Parties, the Cisneros Group or AOLA. In
addition, this general discussion does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may
be relevant to the GUC Holders and does not discuss any aspect of state, local or foreign taxation.
This discussion is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect and upon
proposed regulations all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) by
legislation, administrative action or judicial decision. Moreover, substantial uncertainties,
resulting from the lack of a definitive judicial or administrative authority and interpretation,
apply to various tax aspects of the transactions discussed herein. THE TW PARTIES, THE CISNEROS
GROUP AND THE GENERAL UNSECURED CREDITORS ARE EACH URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT TAX
ADVISOR FOR THE TAX CONSEQUENCES PARTICULAR TO THEM FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN.

A. IRS Circular 230 Disclosure

     To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, any tax advice
contained in this disclosure statement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used,
by any person for the purpose of avoiding tax-related penalties that may be imposed on the person.
Tax advice contained in this disclosure statement is written to support the matters addressed by
the disclosure statement. Each taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular
circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

B. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization

     The liquidation of the Dissolving Debtors, the conversion of AOLA into Reorganized AOLA LLC,
and the subsequent vesting of the Reorganized AOLA LLC interests into Liquidating LLC should be
treated for federal income tax purposes as follows (and as occurring in the following order): (i)
the liquidation, under section 332 of the Code, of each of AOL Caribbean Basin and Puerto Rico
Management Services with and into AOLA, (ii) the transfer of the assets of AOLA, including the
Other PR Assets and the PR Agreement, to the TW Parties with respect to the TW Party Claims
(subject to Time Warner’s turnover obligation described in Sections 3.3(c), 3.3(e) and 5.11 of the
Plan to the Cisneros Group Parties) and the GUC Holders (but, as to the GUC Holders, if the LLC
Option is elected, excluding the Other PR Assets and the PR Agreement and, if the LLC Option is not
elected, assets consisting solely of cash), and (iii) (a) if the LLC Option is elected, the
contribution of the assets of AOLA (other than the Other PR Assets and the PR Agreement) by Time
Warner and the GUC Holders to Liquidating LLC in exchange for interests in Liquidating LLC and the
substantially concurrent turnover, on behalf of and at the direction of Time Warner, of the Series
C Beneficial Interest to the Cisneros Group

61

 

Parties or (b) if the Cash Option is elected, the turnover of a portion of the AOLA assets to
the Cisneros Group Parties and the contribution of the AOLA assets (other than the Other PR Assets
and the PR Agreement) by Time Warner and the Cisneros Group Parties in exchange for interests in
Liquidating LLC. Under the plan, each holder of a beneficial interest in the Liquidating LLC (or
any transferees), AOLA, Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC has agreed to take the position
described in this paragraph for federal income tax purposes unless otherwise required by law.

C. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences to GUC Holders

     In general, a GUC Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference
between (i) the amount of cash (or the fair market value of the property if the LLC Option is
elected) received by such GUC Holder in satisfaction of its Claim (other than in respect of any
Claim for accrued but unpaid interest) and (ii) the GUC Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Claim
(other than any Claim for accrued but unpaid interest).

     Pursuant to the Plan, distributions to any GUC Holder will be allocated first to the original
principal amount of such Claim as determined for federal income tax purposes, and then, to the
extent the consideration exceeds such amount, to accrued but unpaid interest. However, there is no
assurance that the IRS would respect such allocation for federal income tax purposes.

     In general, to the extent that an amount received by a GUC Holder is received in satisfaction
of accrued interest during its holding period, such amount will be taxable to the GUC Holder as
interest income (if not previously included in the GUC Holder’s gross income). Conversely, a GUC
Holder generally recognizes a deductible loss to the extent any accrued interest claimed was
previously included in its gross income and is not paid in full. Each GUC Holder is urged to
consult its tax advisor regarding the allocation of consideration and the deductibility of unpaid
interest for federal income tax purposes.

     If a GUC Holder receives an interest in Liquidating LLC, such holder will be a partner in a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As an entity taxed as a partnership, Liquidating
LLC itself will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Liquidating LLC will file an annual
partnership information return with the IRS that reports the results of its operations. Each
member of Liquidating LLC, including the GUC Holders if they receive interests in Liquidating LLC,
will be required to take into account on the member’s income tax return the member’s distributive
share of Liquidating LLC’s net long-term capital gain or loss, net short-term capital gain or loss
and all items of ordinary income or loss. Each member will be taxed on the member’s distributive
share of Liquidating LLC’s taxable income and gain regardless of whether the member has received or
will receive a distribution from Liquidating LLC. A member may have taxable income for a taxable
year for which it has incurred an economic loss with respect to its interest in Liquidating LLC.

ARTICLE XII

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

     The Debtors and the Principal Stockholders all believe that the Plan is in the best interests
of all Holders of Claims and urge the Holders of impaired Claims in Class 3 TW Party Claims and
Class 4 General Unsecured Claims to vote to accept the Plan and to evidence such acceptance by
returning their ballots to the Balloting Agent at the address set forth in Article VII of this
Disclosure Statement so that they will be actually received by the Balloting Agent on or before
4:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, on April 3, 2006.

and Class 7 is Impaired, is deemed to reject the Plan and is not entitled to vote on the Plan.

			
	Section 3.3	 	Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests

     (a) Class 1—Priority Claims against the Debtors

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

	 	(A)	 	to the extent then due and owing on the Effective Date, such
Allowed Priority Claim will be paid in full, in Cash, by the Debtors
or the Liquidating LLC, as applicable; or

14

 

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

(ii) Voting: Class 1 is Unimpaired. The Holders of Priority Claims against the
Debtors are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section

Plan.

     (b) Class 2—Secured Claims

(i) Treatment: Unless the Holder of a Class 2 Secured Claim agrees to a different
treatment, each Holder of an Allowed Class 2 Secured Claim shall receive on the
Effective Date, either (i) the return of such Assets on which the Holder has a
senior perfected and indefeasible lien or security interest, or (ii) all proceeds
(up to the amount of the Allowed Class 2 Secured Claim) from the sale, liquidation,
or abandonment of any Asset on account of which the Holder has a senior, perfected
and indefeasible Lien or security interest as full and complete satisfaction of all
Class 2 Secured Claims.

single class. This Class is, in fact, a group of subclasses and each subclass,
consisting of an individual Secured Claim, is treated as a distinct Class for voting
and distribution purposes.

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

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

	 	(A)	 	on the PR Transfer Date, AOLA shall assume the

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

15

 

	 	 	 	value that exceeds the amount of the AOL General Unsecured Claim held
by AOL. Any such excess received by AOL hereunder shall be delivered
to Time Warner in consideration of the TW Note Claims.

vote to accept or reject the Plan.

     (d) Class 4—General Unsecured Claims against the Debtors

Holder is a Holder of Accepting Class 4 Claims, such Holder’s Accepting

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

entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

			
	Section 3.4	 	Miscellaneous

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Allowed Claim against the Debtors
shall be reduced by the amount, if any, that was paid by the Debtors to the Holder of such Claim in

paying Claims that the Debtors were authorized to pay pursuant to any Final Order entered by the
Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.

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

ARTICLE V

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

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

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

17

 

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

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

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

			
	Section 5.2	 	Vesting of Assets in Reorganized AOLA LLC

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

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

18

 

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

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

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

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

			
	Section 5.4	 	Vesting of Assets in the Liquidating LLC

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

			
	Section 5.5	 	Transfer of Other PR Assets to AOL

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

	Section 5.6	 	Restructuring Transactions

     Subject to obtaining the consent of the Principal Stockholders (other than AOL), prior to, on
or after the Effective Date, Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC may enter into such
transactions and may take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a corporate
restructuring of their respective subsidiaries, to otherwise simplify the overall corporate
structure of Reorganized AOLA LLC or the Liquidating LLC, to reincorporate or otherwise amend the
legal form of certain of their subsidiaries or to reincorporate certain of their respective
subsidiaries under the laws of jurisdictions other than the laws of which such subsidiaries are
presently incorporated; provided, however, that no action shall be taken that would cause the
Liquidating LLC or Reorganized AOLA LLC to be treated as other than a partnership or disregarded
entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such restructuring may include one or more mergers,
consolidations, restructures, reincorporations, dispositions, liquidations, or dissolutions, as may
be determined by the Liquidating LLC or Reorganized AOLA LLC to be necessary or appropriate
(collectively, the “Restructuring Transactions”). The actions to effect the Restructuring
Transactions may include (i) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other
documents of merger, consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation, or dissolution
containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the applicable
requirements of applicable state law and such other terms to which the applicable entities may

after the Effective Date. Any Claim not filed within such time will be forever barred from
assertion against the Liquidating LLC, the Debtors, and their Estates, their respective successors
or their respective properties. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all Claims
arising from the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be treated as
Unsecured Claims under this Plan.

			
	Section 6.3	 	Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

     The obligations of the Debtors to indemnify the Indemnified Employees shall be deemed and

AOLA LLC) pursuant to the Plan and sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Assumed

LLC Agents shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Rights of Action; and shall
have the exclusive right, authority and discretion to pursue, institute, prosecute, abandon,
settle, or compromise any and all such Rights of Action.

			
	Section 7.2	 	Preservation of All Rights of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released

     (a) Unless a Claim or Right of Action against a Creditor or other Entity is expressly waived,
relinquished, released, compromised or settled in this Plan or any Final Order, the Debtors
expressly reserve such claim or Right of Action for later enforcement by the Liquidating LLC
(including, without limitation, claims and Rights of Action not specifically identified or which
Debtors may presently be unaware or which may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or
circumstances unknown to Debtors at this time or facts or circumstances which may change or be
different from those which Debtors now believe to exist) and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine,

27

 

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

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

ARTICLE VIII

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

			
	Section 8.1	 	Distribution to Creditors

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

			
	Section 8.2	 	Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date

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

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

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

			
	Section 8.4	 	Delivery of Distributions

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

28

 

			
	Section 8.5	 	Undeliverable Distributions

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

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

			
	Section 8.6	 	Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocation

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

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

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

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

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

29

 

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

			
	Section 8.7	 	Fractional Dollars, De Minimis Distributions

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

			
	Section 8.8	 	Set-Offs and Recoupments

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

			
	Section 8.9	 	Time Bar to Cash Payments

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

			
	Section 8.10	 	Manner of Payment Under Plan of Reorganization

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

30

 

ARTICLE IX

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS

			
	Section 9.1	 	Prosecution of Objections to Claims

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

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

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

			
	Section 9.2	 	Estimation of Claims

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

			
	Section 9.3	 	Cumulative Remedies

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

			
	Section 9.4	 	Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims

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

31

 

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

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

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

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

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

			
	Section 9.5	 	Allowance of Claims

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

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

Ladies and Gentlemen:

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

     Please confirm that the foregoing sets forth our agreement by signing and returning to us the
duplicate copy of this letter. This letter agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any
of which may be transmitted by facsimile or by electronic mail in portable document format, and
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

Exhibit 10.9

UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC.

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made and entered into as of this 28 day of February 2006, by
and between UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC., a Georgia Corporation (the “Company”), and GUY W. FREEMAN
(“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Executive is a key employee of the Company and an integral part of the Company’s
management; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to assure both itself and its key employees of continuity of
management and objective judgment in the event of any Change in Control of the Company, and to
induce its key employees to remain employed by the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide certain compensation and benefits to Executive in the
event of the termination of his employment under certain circumstances; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have determined it is in their mutual best interests to
enter into this Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. TERM OF AGREEMENT.

     This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall terminate on the earlier of
Executive’s termination of employment without entitlement to any benefits hereunder or the date
Executive attains age 75; provided, however, the Agreement may be terminated prior to such time by
mutual written agreement of Executive and the Company. This Agreement shall not be considered an
employment agreement and in no way guarantees Executive the right to continue in the employment of
the Company or its affiliates. Executive’s employment is considered employment at will, subject to
Executive’s right to receive payments and benefits upon certain terminations of employment as
provided below.

2. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
meanings specified below:

     2.1 “Base Salary.” Executive’s annual salary in effect on his Date of Termination or,
if greater, Executive’s highest rate of annual salary in effect during the six-month period prior
to his Date of Termination.

     2.2 “Board” or “Board of Directors.” The Board of Directors of the Company,
or its successor.

 

 

     2.3 “Cause.” The involuntary termination of Executive by the Company for the
following reasons shall constitute a termination for Cause:

          (a) If termination shall have been the result of an act or acts by Executive which have been
found in an applicable court of law to constitute a felony (other than traffic-related offenses);

          (b) If termination shall have been the result of an act or acts by Executive which are in the
good faith judgment of the Board determined to be in violation of law or of policies of the Company
and which result in demonstrably material injury to the Company;

          (c) If termination shall have been the result of an act or acts of proven or undenied
dishonesty by Executive resulting or intended to result directly or indirectly in significant gain
or personal enrichment to Executive at the expense of the Company; or

          (d) Upon the willful and continued failure by Executive substantially to perform his duties
with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to mental or physical
illness not constituting a Disability, as defined herein), after a demand in writing for
substantial performance is delivered by the Board or President, which demand specifically
identifies the manner in which the Board or President believes that Executive has not substantially
performed his duties, and such failure results in demonstrably material injury to the Company.

          With respect to clauses (b), (c) or (d) above of this Section, Executive shall not be deemed
to have been involuntarily terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of
the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board (after reasonable notice to Executive
and an opportunity for him, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that,
in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct set forth above in clauses
(b), (c) or (d) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. For purposes of this Agreement,
no act or failure to act by Executive shall be deemed to be “willful” unless done or omitted to be
done by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or
omission was in the best interests of the Company.

     2.4 “Change in Control.” A Change in Control of the Company means any one of the
following events:

     (a) The acquisition (other than from the Company) by any Person of Beneficial Ownership
of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that for purposes of this definition,
Person shall not include any person who on June 1, 2001 owned ten percent (10%) or more of
the Company’s outstanding securities, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur
solely because twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s
then outstanding securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities under one (1) or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, or (ii) any corporation, which, immediately prior to

2

 

such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in the
same proportion as their ownership of stock in the Company immediately prior to such
acquisition.

     (b) Approval by shareholders of the Company of (1) a merger or consolidation involving
the Company if the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such merger or
consolidation do not, as a result of such merger or consolidation, own, directly or
indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation
in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined voting power of the
voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before such merger or
consolidation, or (2) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement
for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

     (c) A change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of June
1, 2001, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Incumbent
Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided,
however, for purposes of this definition that any individual who becomes a member of the
Board subsequent to June 1, 2001 whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s
shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are
members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such
pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the
Incumbent Board; but, provided, further, that any such individual whose initial assumption
of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest, or other
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other
than the Board, shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board.

     2.5 “CIC Severance Period.” A period equal to the lesser of (i) 36 months from
Executive’s Date of Termination or (ii) the number of months (rounded to the nearest month) from
Executive’s Date of Termination until the date he attains age 75.

     2.6 “Code.” The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to
time.

     2.7 “Company.” United Community Banks, Inc., a Georgia corporation, or any successor
to its business and/or assets.

     2.8 “Date of Termination.” The date specified in the Notice of Termination (which,
unless otherwise required by this Agreement, may be immediate) as the date upon which the
Executive’s employment with the Company is to cease. In the case of termination by Executive for
Good Reason, the Date of Termination shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty
(60) days from the date the notice of termination is given.

3

 

     2.9 “Disability.” Disability shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the
Company’s long-term disability plan covering the Executive, or in the absence of such plan, a
meaning consistent with Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

     2.10 “Good Reason.” A Good Reason for termination by Executive of Executive’s
employment shall mean the occurrence (without the Executive’s express written consent) during the
6-month period prior to, or within the eighteen (18) month period following, the date of a Change
in Control of any one of the following acts by the Company, or failures by the Company to act,
unless, in the case of any act or failure to act described in paragraphs (a), (c), or (d) below,
such act or failure to act is corrected prior to the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of
Termination given in respect thereof (the date 6 months prior to the date of the Change in Control
is referred to in this Section 2.10 as the “Change in Control Date”):

          (a) the substantial adverse change in Executive’s responsibilities at the Company from those
in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control Date; or

          (b) the required relocation of Executive to a location outside of the market area of the
Company on the Change in Control Date; or

          (c) a material reduction from those in effect on the Change in Control Date in the levels of
coverage of Executive under the Company’s director and officer liability insurance policy or
indemnification commitments; or

          (d) after the Change in Control Date, a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary, a reduction in
his incentive compensation or the failure by the Company to continue to provide Executive with
benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by Executive under any of the Company’s pension,
deferred compensation, life insurance, medical, health and accident or disability plans in which
Executive was participating at the Change in Control Date, the taking of any action by the Company
which would directly or indirectly reduce any of such benefits or deprive Executive of any material
fringe benefit enjoyed by Executive at the Change in Control Date.

     Executive’s right to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason shall not be
affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, except for a Disability
as defined in Section 2.9 above. Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to,
or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason
hereunder.

     2.11 “Notice of Termination”. A written notice from one party to the other party
specifying the Date of Termination and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances relating to the basis for termination of Executive’s employment.

     2.12 “Person”. Any individual, corporation, bank, partnership, joint venture,
association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity.

3. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT.

     This Agreement provides for the payment of compensation and benefits to Executive in the
event, in connection with a Change in Control, his employment is involuntarily terminated by the
Company without Cause or if the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason. If
Executive is terminated by the Company for Cause, dies, incurs a Disability or voluntarily
terminates employment (other than for Good Reason), this Agreement shall terminate, and Executive
shall be entitled to no payments of compensation or benefits pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement; provided that in such events, Executive will be entitled to whatever benefits are
payable pursuant to the terms of any health, life insurance, disability, welfare, retirement,
deferred compensation, or other plan or program maintained by the Company. Executive agrees that
this Agreement supercedes and replaces any existing plan or arrangement of the Company, including
any employment agreement, which provides Executive severance benefits in the event of his
termination under the circumstances covered by this Agreement.

4. BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION IN CONNECTION WITH A CHANGE IN  CONTROL.

     If a Change in Control occurs during the term of this Agreement and Executive’s employment is
terminated within six (6) months prior to or eighteen (18) months following the date of the Change
in Control, and if such termination is an involuntary termination by the Company without Cause (and
does not arise as a result of death or Disability) or a termination by Executive for Good Reason
(as defined in Section 2.10 above), Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits
described in Section 4.1 through 4.7 below. If Executive does not participate in a particular plan
or program at the Change in Control Date (or if the Company no longer maintains or offers such plan
or program at the Change in Control Date), the provisions of the section related to such plan,
program or award shall not apply to Executive.

     4.1 Base Salary. Executive shall continue to receive his Base Salary (subject to
withholding of all applicable taxes) for the entire CIC Severance Period (as defined in Section 2.5
above), provided that all such salary payments shall be made in a lump sum payment (determined by
taking the Present Value, as defined in Section 5.5, of such payments) no later than 30 days after
his Date of Termination.

     4.2 Annual Bonus. Executive shall be entitled to bonus payments from the Company as
follows:

          (a) Notwithstanding any terms of the plan to the contrary, for the fiscal year that ended
prior to Executive’s Date of Termination, but for which no annual bonus payments have been paid as
of his Date of Termination, Executive shall receive a bonus calculated using the actual results for
all performance criteria, provided that in no case shall the bonus under this subsection (a) be
less than the bonus Executive received for the fiscal year immediately preceding such fiscal year.
Such amount shall be payable at the time such bonus amounts are paid to other participants, or if
previously paid to other participants, no later than thirty (30) days after the Executive’s Date of
Termination.

5

 

          (b) For the fiscal year during which Executive’s Date of Termination occurs, Executive shall
receive, within thirty (30) days following his Date of Termination, a prorated bonus (based on the
number of days that he was employed during such fiscal year), calculated as if
Executive’s target award level (including any personal performance component) under the Company’s
annual incentive had been achieved for such year.

          (c) In addition to the bonus payments payable under (a) and (b) above, Executive shall be
entitled to an additional bonus amount equal to the average of the bonuses paid to him with respect
to the two fiscal years in which bonuses were paid to him immediately preceding the year in which
his Date of Termination occurs, multiplied by two or, if less, multiplied by a number (which need
not be a whole number) equal to the number of months in the CIC Severance Period divided by twelve
(12). Such bonus amount shall be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following the Executive’s
Date of Termination.

    4.3 Health and Life Insurance Coverages.

          (a) The group health care (including any executive medical plan) and group term life insurance
benefits coverages provided to Executive at his Date of Termination shall be continued at the same
level as for active executives and in the same manner as if his employment under this Agreement had
not terminated, beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the last day of the CIC
Severance Period. Any additional coverages Executive had at termination, including dependent
coverage, will also be continued for such period on the same terms, to the extent permitted by the
applicable policies or contracts. Any costs Executive was paying for such coverages at the time of
termination shall be paid by Executive by separate check payable to the Company each month in
advance. If the terms of any benefit plan referred to in this Section, or the laws applicable to
such plan do not permit continued participation by Executive, then the Company will arrange for
other coverage(s) satisfactory to Executive at Company’s expense which provides substantially
similar benefits or, at Executive’s election, will pay Executive a lump sum amount equal to the
costs of such coverage(s) for the CIC Severance Period.

          (b) For purposes of any individual executive life insurance policy (or policies) maintained by
the Company for Executive, the Company shall continue to pay the premiums for such policy or
policies during the CIC Severance Period.

     4.4 Retiree Medical Coverage. If Executive has satisfied the requirements for
receiving Retiree Medical Coverage on his Date of Termination or will satisfy such requirements
prior to the last day of the CIC Severance Period, Executive (and his dependents) shall be covered
by, and receive benefits under, the Company’s Retiree Medical Coverage program for executives at
his level. Executive’s Retiree Medical Coverage shall commence on the date his group health care
coverage terminates under section 4.3 above, and shall continue for the life of the Executive
(i.e., the coverage shall be vested and may not be terminated), subject only to such changes in the
level of coverage that apply to executives at his level generally.

     4.5 Profit Sharing Plan. Executive will be entitled to continue to participate,
consistent with past practices, for the CIC Severance Period in the Profit Sharing Plan (or any
successor or replacement plan) as in effect as of his Date of Termination. Executive’s

6

 

participation in such Profit Sharing Plan shall continue for the CIC Severance Period and the
compensation payable to Executive under Sections 4.1 and 4.2(c) above shall be treated (unless
otherwise excluded) as compensation under the plan as if it were paid on a monthly basis.
Executive will receive an
amount equal to the Company’s contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan, assuming Executive had
participated in such plan at the maximum permissible contributions level. If continued
participation in any plan is not permitted by the plan or by applicable law, the Company shall pay
to Executive or, if applicable, his beneficiary, a supplemental benefit equal to the Present Value
on the Date of Termination (calculated as provided in the plan) of the excess of (i) the benefit
Executive would have been paid under such plan if he had continued to be covered for the CIC
Severance Period (less any amounts Executive would have been required to contribute), over (ii) the
benefit actually payable under such plan. The Company shall pay such additional benefits in a lump
sum within thirty (30) days of his Date of Termination.

     4.6 Automobile, Club Dues. Executive shall be provided for the CIC Severance Period
at the Company’s expense with an automobile (and related automobile expenses) commensurate with the
practice in effect for executives at the date of the Change in Control, and payment of club dues
and assessments in accordance with the current practice.

     4.7 Other Benefits. Except as expressly provided herein, all other fringe benefits
provided to Executive as an active employee of the Company (e.g., long-term disability, AD&D,
etc.), shall cease on his Date of Termination, provided that any conversion or extension rights
applicable to such benefits shall be made available to Executive at his Date of Termination or when
such coverages otherwise cease at the end of the CIC Severance Period.

5. LIMITATION ON BENEFITS.

     5.1 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any benefits payable or to be
provided to Executive by the Company or its affiliates, whether pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise, which are treated as Severance Payments shall, but only to the extent necessary, be
modified or reduced in the manner provided in 5.2 below so that the benefits payable or to be
provided to Executive under this Agreement that are treated as Severance Payments, as well as any
payments or benefits provided outside of this Agreement that are so treated, shall not cause the
Company to have paid an Excess Severance Payment. In computing such amount, the parties shall take
into account all provisions of Code Section 280G, and the regulations thereunder, including making
appropriate adjustments to such calculation for amounts established to be Reasonable Compensation.

     5.2 In the event that the amount of any Severance Payments which would be payable to or for
the benefit of Executive under this Agreement must be modified or reduced to comply with this
Section 5, Executive shall direct which Severance Payments are to be modified or reduced; provided,
however, that no increase in the amount of any payment or change in the timing of the payment shall
be made without the consent of the Company.

     5.3 This Section 5 shall be interpreted so as to avoid the imposition of excise taxes on
Executive under Section 4999 of the Code or the disallowance of a deduction to the Company

7

 

pursuant to Section 280G(a) of the Code with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any of the provisions of this Section 5
create, without the consent of Executive, an obligation on the part of Executive to refund any
amount to the Company following payment of such amount.

     5.4 In addition to the limits otherwise provided in this Section 5, to the extent permitted by
law, Executive may in his sole discretion elect to reduce any payments he may be eligible to
receive under this Agreement to prevent the imposition of excise taxes on Executive under Section
4999 of the Code.

     5.5 For purposes of this Section 5, the following definitions shall apply:

          (a) “Excess Severance Payment”. The term “Excess Severance Payment” shall have the
same meaning as the term “excess parachute payment” defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

          (b) “Severance Payment”. The term “Severance Payment” shall have the same meaning as
the term “parachute payment” defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.

          (c) “Reasonable Compensation”. The term “Reasonable Compensation” shall have the same
meaning as provided in Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in
the absence of a change in existing legal authorities or the issuance of contrary authorities,
amounts received by Executive as damages under or as a result of a breach of this Agreement shall
be considered Reasonable Compensation.

          (d) “Present Value”. The term “Present Value” shall have the same meaning as provided
in Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

6. MISCELLANEOUS.

     6.1 No Obligation to Mitigate. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount
of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment, nor shall the amount
of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive
as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination or otherwise

     6.2 Contract Non-Assignable. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement has been
entered into due to, among other things, the special skills and knowledge of Executive, and agree
that this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by Executive.

     6.3 Successors; Binding Agreement.

          (a) In addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the
Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation
or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or that
acquires a controlling stock interest in the Company to expressly assume and

8

 

agree to perform this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform
it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to
obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effective date of such succession shall be a
breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to compensation and benefits from the Company
under Section 4 in the amount and on the same terms as Executive would be entitled to hereunder if
Executive were to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or
legal representative, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees. If Executive shall die while any amount is still payable to Executive hereunder (other
than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death of Executive), all such amounts,
unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
the executors, personal representatives or administrators of Executive’s estate.

     6.4 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or

Any party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands and other communications shall
be delivered or mailed by giving notice thereof to the other party in the same manner provided
herein.

     6.5 Provisions Severable. If any provision or covenant, or any part thereof, of this
Agreement should be held by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either in whole or
in part, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or
enforceability of the remaining provisions or covenants, or any part thereof, of this Agreement,
all of which shall remain in full force and effect.

     6.6 Waiver. Failure of either party to insist, in one or more instances, on
performance by the other in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right granted in this Agreement or the future
performance of any such term or condition or of any other term or condition of this Agreement,
unless such waiver is contained in a writing signed by the party making the waiver.

     6.7 Amendments and Modifications. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
writing signed by both parties hereto, which makes specific reference to this Agreement.

     6.8 Governing Law. The validity and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by and
be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

     6.9 Disputes; Legal Fees; Indemnification.

          (a) Disputes. All claims by Executive for compensation and benefits under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be directed to and be determined by the Board. Any denial
by the Board of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be provided in writing to Executive
within thirty (30) days of such decision and shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial
and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Board shall afford a reasonable
opportunity to Executive for a review of its decision denying a claim and shall further allow
Executive to appeal in writing to the Board a decision of the Board within sixty (60) days after
notification by the Board that Executive’s claim has been denied. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, any further dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia, in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the
arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.

          (b) Legal Fees. If, in connection with a Change in Control, Executive terminates his
employment for Good Reason or if the Company involuntarily terminates Executive without Cause,
then, in the event Executive incurs legal fees and other expenses in seeking to obtain or to
enforce any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement and is successful, in whole or in part,
in obtaining or enforcing any such rights or benefits through settlement, mediation, arbitration or
otherwise, the Company shall promptly pay Executive’s reasonable legal fees and expenses and
related costs incurred in enforcing this Agreement including, without limitation, attorneys fees
and expenses, experts fees and expenses, investigative fees, and travel expenses. Except to the
extent provided in the preceding sentence, each party shall pay its own legal fees and other
expenses associated with any dispute under this Agreement.

          (c) Indemnification. During the Term of this Agreement and after Executive’s
termination, the Company shall indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless from and against any
claim, performance as an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
other affiliates or in any other capacity, including any fiduciary capacity, in which Executive
serves at the Company’s request, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by law and under the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws (the “Governing Documents”), provided that in no
event shall the protection afforded to Executive hereunder be less than that afforded under the
Governing Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement except from changes mandated by law.
