                  For purposes of determining the Applicable Rate (A) if either
Moody's or S&P shall not have in effect a relevant Rating (other than by reason
of the circumstances referred to in clause (C) of this definition), then the
Rating assigned by the other rating agency shall be used; (B) if the relevant
Ratings assigned by Moody's and S&P shall fall within different Categories, the
Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two Ratings unless one of
the two Ratings is two or more Categories lower than the other, in which case
the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Category next below
that of the higher of the two ratings; (C) if either rating agency shall cease
to assign a relevant Rating solely because TWE (or, at any time after Moody's or
S&P has assigned a rating to the senior unsecured long-term debt of the
Borrower, the Borrower) elects not to participate or otherwise cooperate in the
ratings process of such rating agency, the Applicable Rate shall not be less
than that in effect immediately before such rating agency's Rating for TWE or
the Borrower, as applicable, became unavailable; and (D) if the relevant Ratings
assigned by Moody's or S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change
in the rating system of Moody's or S&P, but including as a result of the
announcement of an initial Rating with respect to the Borrower's senior
unsecured long-term debt), such change shall be effective as of the date on
which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the
Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date
of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date
of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody's or S&P shall change, or
if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating
corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good
faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the
unavailability of ratings from such rating agency,

Commitment. The Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, in

                  SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) The Borrowing of Loans
shall consist of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their

Lender of its obligations hereunder.

                  (b) Subject to Section 2.13, the Loans shall be comprised of
ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance
herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any
domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;
provided that any exercise of such option shall (i) subject to following clause
(ii), not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance

                  (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. At the time that

of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there
shall not at any time be more than a total of 20 Eurodollar Borrowings
outstanding.

Borrower shall not be entitled to request or elect any Interest Period in

to make the Loans on the anticipated Acquisition Effective Date, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone in accordance
with Schedule 2.03(A). Such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable

                  (a) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing,

                  (b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

                  (c) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurodollar Borrowing;

<PAGE>

                                                                              20

                  (d) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial
Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated
by the definition of the term "Interest Period"; and

                  (e) the location and number of the Borrower's account to which
funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section
2.06.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above in this Section 2.03, no such
notice shall alter the information set forth on Schedule 2.03 (B) unless such
notice shall be written. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is
specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be deemed an ABR Borrowing. If no
Interest Period is specified with respect to a requested Eurodollar Borrowing,
then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month's duration. Promptly following receipt of such Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender
of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as
part of the requested Borrowing.

                  SECTION 2.04. [Intentionally left blank]

                  SECTION 2.05. [Intentionally left blank]

                  SECTION 2.06.Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make
the Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Acquisition Effective Date by wire
transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York time, to the
account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans
available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like
funds, to an account of the Borrower specified on Schedule 2.03(B) or designated
by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request.

                  (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the Acquisition Effective Date that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to demand payment from the applicable
Lender and/or the Borrower and they each severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Alternate Base Rate, or (ii) in
the case of the Borrower, the interest rate that would otherwise apply to such
Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing and
such payment shall absolve any obligation of the Borrower in respect of any
demand made under this Section in respect of such Loan.

                  SECTION 2.07.Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially
shall be of the Type specified in the Borrowing Request and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such
Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing
to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the

                                                                              21

case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as
provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect
to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion
shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing.

                  (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time
set forth in Schedule 2.03(A) with respect to the Type of Borrowing to result
from such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the
Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

                  (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

                  (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request
            applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
            different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to
            each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
            specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
            specified for each resulting Borrowing);

                  (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such
            Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

                  (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR
            Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

                  (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
            Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
            election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of
            the term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

                  (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election
Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details
thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

                  (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest
Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as
provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, as the case may be, having a one month
Interest Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to
or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

                  SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a)
The Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

                  (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to
time reduce, the Commitments; provided that each reduction of the Commitments
shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000,000.

                  (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this
Section at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice
of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such
notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in
which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments
shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably
among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

                  SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Loans on the
Maturity Date.

                  (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to
such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts
of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder.

                  (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which
it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and Type thereof and
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

                  (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or
any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced
by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender
a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to
such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the
Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including
after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes
in such form

<PAGE>

                                                                              23

payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is
a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

                  SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have
the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or
in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this
Section. Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

                  (b) The Borrower that desires to make a prepayment shall
notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any
prepayment hereunder in accordance with Schedule 2.03(A). Each such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of
each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, a notice of
prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned
upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may
be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment
of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an
advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each
prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder shall be applied ratably to the Loans
included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

                  SECTION 2.11. Fees (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at
the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.

                  (b) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due,
in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to
the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances absent manifest error in the calculation and/or payment thereof.

                  (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender a commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee") which shall
accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Commitment of
such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the Commitment Termination Date. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be
payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All
Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).

                  SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base
Rate.

                  (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest
Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower
hereunder is not paid when due, whether at

<PAGE>

                                                                              24

stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in
the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable
to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus
the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided above.

                  (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of
an ABR Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall
be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of
any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion and (iv) all accrued interest shall be payable upon the
Maturity Date.

                  (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate
Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall
be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). The
Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate and LIBO Rate shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

                  SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

                  (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination
            shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
            reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining for such Interest
            Period the Adjusted LIBO Rate; or

                  (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required
            Lenders that for such Interest Period the Adjusted LIBO Rate will
            not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making
            or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such
            Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and any such Borrowing referred to in such Interest Election Request shall,
unless repaid by the Borrower, be converted to (as of the last day of the then
current Interest Period), or maintained as, an ABR Borrowing, as the case may be
(to the extent, in the Administrative Agent's reasonable determination, it is
practicable to do so), and (ii) if the Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall, unless otherwise rescinded by the Borrower, be
made as an ABR Loan (to the extent, in the Administrative Agent's reasonable
determination, it is practicable to do so), and if the circumstances giving rise
to such notice affect fewer than all Types of Borrowings, then the other Types
of Borrowings shall be permitted.

                  SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

<PAGE>

                                                                              25

                  (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
            deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
            for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any
            such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

                  (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any
            other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by
            such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs actually
incurred or reduction actually suffered.

                  (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if
any, as a consequence of the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that
which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the
policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding
company for any such reduction actually suffered in respect of the Loans made by
such Lender hereunder.

                  (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable
detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

                  (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is
obligated to pay an amount under this Section within six months after the later
of (i) the date the Lender incurs such increased costs, reduction in amounts
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (ii) the date such
Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of such increased cost, reduction
in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital; provided
further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.14, no
Lender shall demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction referred
to above if it shall not be the general policy or practice of such Lender to
demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of
other credit agreements, if any (it being understood that this sentence shall
not in any way limit the discretion of any Lender to waive the right to demand
such compensation in any given case).

                                                                              26

                  SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the
payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable
under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender
for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be
deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess,
if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit
in Dollars equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the
date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the
then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have
resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate
payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest
Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such
principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or
an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits in Dollars from other banks in the
Eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender
is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

                  SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the
Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender
(as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions
and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

                  (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable by the Borrower
under this Section unless such amounts have been included in any amount paid
pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.16(a)) paid by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

<PAGE>

                                                                              27

                  (c) If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund
in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall within 30 days from
the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower
under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund, as determined by such Lender in its reasonable
discretion), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the
Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the
Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender or the
Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

                  (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of
the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

                  (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from
or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

                  (f) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a statement signed by an
authorized signatory of the Lender that it is a U.S. Person and, if necessary to
avoid United States backup withholding, a duly completed and signed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that such Lender is
organized under the laws of the United States and is not subject to United
States backup withholding.

                  (g) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require any
Lender to disclose any confidential information regarding its tax returns or
affairs.

                  SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing
of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on
the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date shall, unless the
Administrative Agent is able to distribute such amounts to the applicable
Lenders on such date, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent in New York at the offices for the
Administrative Agent set forth in Section 9.01, except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments
received by it for

<PAGE>

                                                                              28

the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient in like funds
promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder, whether such payments are made in respect of principal, interest or
fees or other amounts payable hereunder, shall be made in Dollars.

                  (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be
applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due from the Borrower
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay
principal, then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such
parties.

                  (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest
thereon owing by the Borrower than the proportion received by any other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders owing from the Borrower
to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared
by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of
and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans other than to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of
this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

                  (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder
that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders,
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Lenders, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

                  (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to
be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion

<PAGE>

                                                                              29

(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender from or on
behalf of any Credit Party or otherwise in respect of the Obligations to satisfy
such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid.

                  SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

                  (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or
if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16,
or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender hereunder, then the Borrower may,
at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii)
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such
assignment will be made to a Lender reasonably expected to result in a reduction
in the compensation or payments to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to such
sections. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

of the Restricted Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could

powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership
(as the case may be) and, if required, stockholder or partner action of such
Credit Party. Each Credit Document (other than each Note) has been, and each
Note when delivered hereunder will have been, duly executed and delivered by
each Credit Party party thereto. Each Credit Document (other than each Note)
constitutes, and each Note when delivered hereunder will be, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of each Credit Party party thereto, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.

                  SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The
Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or

violate (i) any applicable law or regulation or (ii) the charter, by-laws,
partnership agreements or other organizational documents of any Credit Party or
any Restricted Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will
not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other
instrument binding upon any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary or its
assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by
any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary and (d) will not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Credit Party or any
Restricted Subsidiary; except, in each case (other than clause (b)(ii) with
respect to the Borrower), such as could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.
(a) The audited consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows (including the notes thereto) of the Borrower

copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, when combined
with all public filings with the SEC by Time Warner since December 31, 2004 and
prior to the Effective Date, present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and
its consolidated Subsidiaries, as of such date and for such period, in
accordance with GAAP.

                  (b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet and the

Subsidiaries at September 30, 2005, assuming that the events specified in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at
such date.

or is licensed to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and
other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the
Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights
of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

                  SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There
are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator
or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries (i) which could reasonably be expected to be adversely determined
and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or
in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve
this Agreement or the Transactions.

                  (b) Except with respect to any matters that, individually or
in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, (x) neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries
(i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or
comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any
Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability or

                  SECTION 3.08. Government Regulation. Neither the Borrower nor
any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is (a) an "investment company" as defined in,
or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, or (b) is
subject to any other statute or regulation which regulates the incurrence of
indebtedness for borrowed money, other than, in the case of this clause (b),
Federal and state securities laws and as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.09. Taxes. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to
have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have
been paid by it or as part of the consolidated group of which it is a member,
except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has
set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the
extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is
reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA
Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. As of the Effective Date, all
information heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the
Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (including all information
contained in the Credit Documents and the annexes, schedules and other
attachments to the Credit Documents, but not including any projected financial
statements), when taken together with the reports and other filings with the SEC
made under the Exchange Act by Time Warner since December 31, 2004, is, and all
other such information hereafter furnished, including all information contained
in any of the Credit Documents, including any annexes or schedules thereto, by
or on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to or on
behalf of any Lender is and will be (as of their respective dates and the
Effective Date), true and accurate in all material respects and not incomplete
by omitting to state a material fact to make such information not misleading at
such time. There is no fact of which the Borrower is aware which has not been
disclosed to the Lenders in writing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
prior to the date hereof and which, singly or in the aggregate with all such
other facts of which the Borrower is aware, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. All statements of fact and representation
concerning the present business, operations and assets of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, the Credit Documents and the transactions referred to therein
are true and correct in all material respects.

            and (ii) in-house counsel to the Credit Parties, in each case in

                  Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Article
VIII, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in

notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its
objection thereto.

                  SECTION 4.02. Acquisition Effective Date. The availability of
the Loans shall be conditioned upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a

the Purchase Agreement and the obligation of each Lender to make the Loans is

                  Each Borrowing shall be deemed to constitute a representation
and warranty by the Borrower on the date thereof as to the applicable matters
specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.

                                   ARTICLE V

                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

                  Until the principal of and interest on each Loan, all fees

                  SECTION 5.01. Financial Statements and Other Information. The
Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent at its New York office (who
will distribute copies to each Lender):

                  (a) within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
            Borrower (including the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005), the
            Borrower's audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements
            of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows as of the end of
            and for such year and the Borrower's unaudited Adjusted Financial
            Statements for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in
            comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, and, (i)
            in the case of the audited financial statements, reported on by
            Ernst & Young LLP or other independent public accountants of
            recognized national standing (without a "going concern" or like
            qualification or exception and without any qualification or
            exception as to the scope of such audit) to the effect that such
            consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material
            respects the financial condition and results of operations of the
            Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis
            in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and (ii) in the case of
            the Adjusted Financial Statements, certified by one of the
            Borrower's Financial Officers as presenting fairly in all material

            Borrower and the consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries on a
            consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied;
            provided that (x) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
            continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to furnish Adjusted
            Financial Statements for any fiscal year if all Unrestricted
            Subsidiaries (other than any such Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are
            already treated as equity investments on the Borrower's financial
            statements) on a combined basis would not have constituted a
            Material Subsidiary for such fiscal year and (y) in no case shall
            the Borrower be required to deliver any financial statements of any
            Guarantor to any Lender;

                  (b) within 60 days after the end of each of the first three
            fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Borrower, the Borrower's

            operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows and the Borrower's

            corresponding period or periods of (or, in the case of the balance
            sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, all certified by
            one of the Borrower's Financial Officers as presenting fairly in all
            material respects the financial condition and results of operations
            of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated
            basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to
            normal year-end adjustments and

<PAGE>

                                                                              35

            the absence of footnotes; provided that (x) so long as no Event of
            Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not be
            required to furnish Adjusted Financial Statements for any fiscal
            quarter if all Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than any such
            Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are already treated as equity
            investments on the Borrower's financial statements) on a combined
            basis would not have constituted a Material Subsidiary for such
            fiscal quarter and (y) in no case shall the Borrower be required to
            deliver any financial statements of any Guarantor to any Lender;

                  (c) concurrently with any delivery of financial statements
            under clause (a) or (b) above, a certificate of a Financial Officer
            of the Borrower (i) certifying as to whether a Default has occurred
            and, if a Default has occurred, specifying the details thereof and
            any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto, (ii)
            setting forth reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating
            compliance with Sections 6.01, 6.02(a) and 6.03(a) and (i) and (iii)
            stating whether any change in GAAP or in the application thereof has
            occurred since the date of the audited financial statements referred
            to in Section 3.04, which has not been previously disclosed by the
            Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.01, and, if any such change has
            occurred, specifying the effect of such change on the financial
            statements accompanying such certificate;

                  (d) promptly after the same become publicly available, copies
            of all periodic and other reports, proxy statements and other
            materials filed by any Company with the SEC or with any national
            securities exchange, or distributed by any Company to its security
            holders generally, as the case may be (other than registration
            statements on Form S-8, filings under Sections 16(a) or 13(d) of the
            Exchange Act and routine filings related to employee benefit plans);
            and

                  (e) promptly following any request therefor, such other
            information regarding the operations, business affairs and financial
            condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or compliance
            with the terms of this Agreement, as the Administrative Agent or any
            Lender may reasonably request (it being understood that the Borrower
            and such Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide any
            information or documents which are subject to confidentiality
            provisions the nature of which prohibit such disclosure).

                  Information required to be delivered pursuant to paragraphs
(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on
which the Borrower provides notice to the Administrative Agent, or as the case
may be the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Lenders, that such
information has been posted on the Borrower's website on the internet at the
website address listed on the signature pages of such notice, at www.sec.gov or
at another website identified in such notice and accessible by the Lenders
without charge; provided that the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of the
reports and financial statements referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d)
of this Section 5.01 to the Administrative Agent or any Lender who requests the
Borrower to deliver such paper copies until written notice to cease delivering
paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

                  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative
Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided
by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, "Borrower Materials")
by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar secure
electronic system (the "Platform") and (b) certain of the Lenders may be
"public-side" Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material
non-public

<PAGE>

                                                                              36

information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a "Public
Lender"). The Borrower hereby agrees that so long as the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates thereof is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities
that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is actively
contemplating issuing any such securities (i) the Borrower shall act in good
faith to ensure that all Borrower Materials that contain only publically
available information regarding the Borrower and its business are clearly and
conspicuously marked "PUBLIC" which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word
"PUBLIC" shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking
Borrower Materials "PUBLIC," the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as
containing only public information with respect to the Borrower and its
business; (iii) all Borrower Materials marked "PUBLIC" are permitted to be made
available through a portion of the Platform designated "Public Investor;" and
(iv) the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for keeping any Borrower
Materials that are not marked "PUBLIC" outside the portion of the Platform
designated "Public Investor." Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall
be under no obligation to mark any Borrower Materials "PUBLIC."

                  SECTION 5.02. Notices of Material Events. The Borrower will
furnish to the Administrative Agent (who will distribute copies to the Lenders)
prompt written notice of the following, upon any such event becoming known to
any Responsible Officer of the Borrower:

                  (a) the occurrence of any Default;

                  (b) the filing or commencement of any action, suit or
            proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority
            against or affecting the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that, if
            adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in a
            Material Adverse Effect;

                  (c) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, alone or together
            with any other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be
            expected to result in liability to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
            in an aggregate amount exceeding $200,000,000; and

                  (d) any other development that results in, or could reasonably
            be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of
a Financial Officer or other executive officer of the Borrower setting forth the
details of the event or development requiring such notice and any action taken
or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

                  SECTION 5.03. Existence; Conduct of Business. The Borrower
will, and will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries which are Material
Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew
and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses,
permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business;
provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger, consolidation,
liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.04.

                  SECTION 5.04. Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will, and
will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay its obligations,
including Tax liabilities, that, if not paid, could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, before the same shall become delinquent or
in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being

                                                                              37

contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) the Borrower or such
Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in
accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 5.05. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. The
Borrower will, and will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, (a) keep
and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business (taken as a
whole) in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and
(b) maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies,
insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained
by companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or
similar locations (it being understood that, to the extent consistent with
prudent business practice, a program of self-insurance for first or other loss
layers may be utilized).

                  SECTION 5.06. Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The
Borrower will, and will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep
proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are
made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and
activities. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Restricted
Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its
properties, to examine its books and records, and to discuss its affairs,
finances and condition with its officers and, so long as a representative of the
Borrower is present, or the Borrower has consented to the absence of such a
representative, independent accountants (in each case subject to the Borrower's
or the Restricted Subsidiaries' obligations under applicable confidentiality
provisions), all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested.

                  SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and
will cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules,
regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its
property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                  SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will
be used for working capital needs, for general corporate purposes of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the repayment of indebtedness of
existing and future Subsidiaries of the Borrower, for commercial paper backup
and for payments made in respect of the Adelphia Transaction. No part of the
proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any
purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board,
including Regulations U and X.

                  SECTION 5.09. Fiscal Periods; Accounting. The Borrower's
fiscal year will end on December 31 and its fiscal quarters will end on dates
consistent with such fiscal year end.

                                   ARTICLE VI

            Indebtedness of up to an aggregate principal amount of
            $1,000,000,000 at any time outstanding;

            thereof, and extensions, renewals and replacements of any such
            Indebtedness that do not increase the outstanding principal amount
            thereof; provided that the aggregate principal amount of

            property shall not exceed 110% of the purchase price for, or the
            cost of construction or improvement of, such property; and

                  (e) Indebtedness of any Person that becomes a Restricted
            Subsidiary after the date hereof; provided that (x) such
            Indebtedness exists at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary and

            Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any asset thereof
            other than to the Person so acquired and its Subsidiaries and the

            hereof and extensions, renewal and replacements thereof that do not
            increase the outstanding principal amount thereof and such Liens do
            not secure an aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness in excess

            warehousemen's, materialmen's, landlord's and mechanic's liens, and

            course of its business; and

                  (i) other Liens in respect of property or assets of the
            Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary so long as at the time of the

            Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower at such time (it being
            understood that any Lien permitted under any other clause in this
            Section 6.03 shall not be included in the computation described in
            this paragraph).

taken as a whole, immediately prior to the Effective Date, provided that (i) if
the Borrower is not the survivor of any such consolidation or merger involving
the Borrower, (A) the Borrower, at the time thereof and immediately after giving
effect thereto, shall be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the financial
covenants contained in Section 6.01 as if such consolidation or merger had been
consummated (and any related Indebtedness incurred, assumed or repaid in
connection therewith had been incurred, assumed or repaid, as the case may be)
on the first day of the most recently completed four fiscal quarters of the
Borrower for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section
5.01 (as demonstrated by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a certificate
of a Responsible Officer to such effect showing such calculation in reasonable
detail prior to or concurrently with such consolidation or merger), (B) the

the Borrower's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit

and (ii) the Borrower shall not liquidate or dissolve.

cause or permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Investment
(other than any Investment in the ordinary course of the operation of its
business) if, before or after giving effect to the commitment thereto on a pro
forma basis, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

                  SECTION 6.06. Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not
declare or make, or agree to pay or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted
Payment, except the Borrower may (a) declare and pay dividends with respect to
its capital stock payable solely in additional shares of its common stock and
(b) make Restricted Payments so long as after giving effect to the making of
such Restricted Payment, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on a pro forma basis.

                  SECTION 6.07. Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will
not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, enter into any material transaction with any of its Affiliates,
except (a) transactions entered into prior to the date hereof or contemplated by
any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof, (b) in the ordinary course
of business or at prices and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the
Borrower or such Subsidiary than could be obtained on an arm's-length basis from
unrelated third parties, (c) transactions between or among the Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries, (d) any
arrangements with officers, directors, representatives or other employees of the

than a Primary Guarantor) as Unrestricted Subsidiaries from time to time in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.08. The Borrower will not
designate any of its Subsidiaries as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless at the

after giving effect to such designation on a pro forma basis,

<PAGE>

                                                                              41

no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as certified in an
Officers' Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent at the time of such
designation. Such Officers' Certificate also shall state the specific purpose
for which such designation is being made. All Subsidiaries of Unrestricted
Subsidiaries shall be Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

                  (b) The Borrower may designate or re-designate any
Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary from time to time in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.08. The Borrower will not

have occurred and be continuing, as certified in an Officer's Certificate
delivered to the Administrative Agent at the time of such designation or
re-designation.

                  SECTION 6.09. Amendments to Purchase Agreement. The Borrower

deemed to be materially adverse to the Lenders.

                  If any of the following events ("Events of Default") shall
occur:

                  (a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan
            when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the
            due date thereof or at a date fixed for prepayment thereof or
            otherwise;

                  (b) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan or
            any fee or any other amount (other than an amount referred to in

            as the same shall become due and payable, and such failure shall
            continue unremedied for a period of five days;

                  (c) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by or
            on behalf of any Credit Party in any Credit Document or any
            amendment or modification thereof, or in any report, certificate,
            financial statement or other document furnished pursuant to or in
            connection with any Credit Document or any amendment or modification
            thereof, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect
            when made or deemed made;

                  (d) the Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any
            covenant, condition or agreement contained in Section 5.02 or 5.03
            (with respect to the Borrower's existence) or in Article VI;

                  (e) any Credit Party shall fail to observe or perform any
            covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Credit Documents
            (other than those specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of this
            Article), and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
            30 days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent (given at

<PAGE>

                                                                              42

                  (f) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to
            make any payment (whether of principal or interest and regardless of
            amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the
            same shall become due and payable after giving effect to any
            applicable grace periods;

                  (g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material
            Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that
            enables or permits (after giving effect to any applicable grace
            periods) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any
            trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material
            Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment,
            repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled
            maturity; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to secured

            transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness;

                  (h) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an
            involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation,
            reorganization or other relief in respect of the Borrower or any
            Material Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of its
            assets, under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
            receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the
            appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator,
            conservator or similar official for the Borrower or any Material
            Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, and, in any such
            case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 60
            days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the
            foregoing shall be entered;

                  (i) the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary shall (i)
            voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking
            liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any Federal, state
            or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now
            or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail
            to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or
            petition described in clause (h) of this Article, (iii) apply for or
            consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian,
            sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Borrower or
            any Material Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets,
            (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition
            filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general
            assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for
            the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

                  (j) the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary shall become
            unable, admit in writing or fail generally to pay its debts as they
            become due;

                  (k) one or more judgments for the payment of money in an
            aggregate amount in excess of $200,000,000 shall be rendered against
            the Borrower, any Material Subsidiary or any combination thereof or
            any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor (whose
            liquidated judgment, along with those of any other judgment
            creditor's, exceeds $200,000,000) to attach or levy upon any assets
            of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary to enforce any such
            judgment, and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 60
            consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively
            stayed, vacated or bonded pending appeal;

                                                                              43

                  (l) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken
            together with all other ERISA Events (with respect to which the
            Borrower has a liability which has not yet been satisfied) that have
            occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
            Adverse Effect;

                  (m) except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the
            terms of any Guarantee, any Guarantee shall cease, for any reason,
            to be in full force and effect with respect to any Guarantor or any
            Credit Party shall so assert; or

                  (n) a Change in Control shall occur;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter
during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the
request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or
both of the following actions at the same or different times: (i) terminate the
Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii)
declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part,
in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter
be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so
declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all
fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due
and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any
event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this
Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the
Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and
other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   THE AGENTS

                  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

                  Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor
or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of
business with any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

                  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary

<PAGE>

                                                                              44

powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or
by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to
exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all the Lenders) and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in
the other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to any Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in
any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or, if so specified by this Agreement, all the Lenders, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Article VII and Section 9.02) or in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice
thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and
the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered under any Credit
Document or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in the
Credit Documents or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

                  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and
shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing
(including any electronic message) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by a proper Person. An initial list of
the proper Persons with respect to the Borrower appears on Schedule 8. Schedule
8 shall not be altered except in writing by a Person appearing thereon (or by a
successor to such Person occupying the equivalent office). The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon so long as such statement, in the case of a
Borrowing Request, complies with the requirements of Section 2.03 in all
material respects (it being understood that oral notices of borrowing will be
confirmed in writing by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.03). In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that
by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of
any such counsel, accountants or experts.

                  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its
duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply

<PAGE>

                                                                              45

to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and
any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent.

                  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor which, so long as no Event of Default is
continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf
of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank
with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by
the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor; provided that the predecessor Administrative Agent shall pay the
unearned portion of any fees paid in advance to either the successor
Administrative Agent or the Borrower. After the Administrative Agent's
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

                  The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as
such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their Applicable
Percentage on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Article
VIII (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall
have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Applicable Percentage
immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether
before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments,
this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with
any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
agreements in this paragraph shall survive the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

                  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem

                                                                              46

appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

                  The Co-Syndication Agents and Co-Documentation Agents shall
not have any duties or responsibilities under any Credit Document in their
capacity as such.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  SECTION 9.01. Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and
other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices
and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be
delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or
registered mail or sent by facsimile, as follows:

                  (i) if to the Borrower, to it at 290 Harbor Drive, Stamford,

                  (203) 328-4896), with copies to Time Warner, Inc. at One Time
                  Warner Center, New York, NY 10019, Attention of Chief

                  to its General Counsel (Facsimile No. (212) 484-7167) and its
                  Treasurer (Facsimile No. (212) 484-7151);

                  (ii) if to the Administrative Agent, to Wachovia Bank,
                  National Association, 201 South College Street, CP-9 NC 0680,
                  Charlotte, NC 28288-0680, Attention of Agency Services
                  (Telephone No. (704) 374 2698) (Facsimile No. (704) 715-1795);
                  and

                  (iii) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or
                  facsimile number) set forth in its Administrative
                  Questionnaire.

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and
other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All
notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date
of receipt.

                  (b) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." THE
AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF
THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT
PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the
"Agent Parties") have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other
Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether
in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower's or the
Administrative Agent's transmission of Borrower Materials through the Platform,
except to the extent that such

<PAGE>

                                                                              47

losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided,
however, that (i) nothing in this clause (b) shall modify the Agent Parties'
respective obligations pursuant to Section 9.12, and (ii) in no event shall any
Agent Party have any liability to any Lender for indirect, special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

                  SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

                  (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided
that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without
the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan
or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv)
amend, waive, modify or otherwise change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that
would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the
written consent of each Lender, (v) release either Primary Guarantor from its
obligations under the Primary Guarantee without the written consent of each
Lender; provided that if any of the events specified in Section 9.14 occur with
respect to a Primary Guarantor then the Primary Guarantee shall be automatically
released with respect to such Primary Guarantor without any further action or
(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required
Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed
that the Borrower shall be permitted to cause additional Affiliates to, directly
or indirectly, guarantee Obligations of the Borrower without the consent of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent.

                  SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for

<PAGE>

                                                                              48

the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Credit
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents or the
Lenders, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for the Agents or the Lenders in connection with the enforcement or protection
of its rights in connection with any Credit Document, including its rights under
this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including in
connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof,
it being understood that the Agents and the Lenders shall use, and the Borrower
shall only be required to pay such fees, charges and disbursements of, a single
counsel, unless (and to the extent) conflicts of interests require the use of
more than one counsel.

                  (b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Credit Documents or
any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the
use of, or the proposed use of, the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or
alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned
or operated by any Company, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
any Company, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort
or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or
a Related Party of such Indemnitee).

                  (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount
required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
such Lender's Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

                  (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower
shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the
proceeds thereof.

                  (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable
promptly after written demand therefor.

                  SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors

<PAGE>

                                                                              49

and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender except in accordance with Section 6.04 (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

                  (b) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may assign to one
or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at
the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to
a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, each of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the
entire remaining balance of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans, each
assignment shall not be less than an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000,
(iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining balance of the assigning
Lender's Commitment, the remaining amount of the Commitment of, or Loans held
by, the assigning Lender after giving effect to such assignment shall not be
less than $10,000,000 unless, in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii), each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, (iv) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) except in
the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender on or about
the Effective Date, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $2,500, and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not
be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire; provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise
required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under
clause (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing. Upon acceptance
and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall (i)
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03
and (ii) continue to be subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating
Lender hereunder without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its
designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the
first sentence of this Section.

                  (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, NC a
copy of each Assignment and

                                                                              50

Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
"Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

                  (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a
Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by
paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the
Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

                  (e) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, without the
consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one
or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section
9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section,
the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

                  (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

                  (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security
interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

                  (h) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the
relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to
facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (g) above.

                  (i) The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent
hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any
other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any
state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in
full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender;
provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees
to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost,
damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding
against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

                  SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other
party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and
Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of
this Agreement or any provision hereof.

                  SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and
any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lenders
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section
4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by
the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement.

                  SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

                  SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held by such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender that is
primarily engaged in commercial banking activities and other indebtedness at any
time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
(other than indebtedness related to commercial advertising and marketing
arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business) against any of and
all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall
have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have.

                  SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service
of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the law of the State of New York.

                  (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the
United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to the Credit Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be
heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law,
in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law.

                  (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.

                  (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing
in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

                  SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE

BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

                  SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the
Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not
part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken
into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

                  SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory
authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by
any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that in connection with any such
requirement by a subpoena or similar legal process, the Borrower is given prior
notice to the extent such prior notice is permissible under the circumstances
and an opportunity to object to such disclosure, (d) to any other party to this
Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of
rights hereunder, (f) subject to an express agreement for the benefit of the
Borrower containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to any (i) assignee (or Conduit Lender) of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee (or Conduit Lender) of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) hedging agreement counterparty (or such
contractual counterparty's professional advisor), (g) with the consent of the
Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means
all information received from the Borrower, whether oral or written, relating to
the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received
from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified
at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information, including in accordance
with Regulation FD as promulgated by the SEC.

                  SECTION 9.13. Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that:

                  (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation,
            execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit
            Documents;

                  (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any
            fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to the Borrower
            arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the
            other Credit Documents, and the relationship between Administrative
            Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand,
            in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and
            creditor; and

                  (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit
            Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions
            contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the
            Lenders.

                  SECTION 9.14. Guarantees. Notwithstanding anything herein or
in any Credit Document to the contrary, (a) each Supplemental Guarantor shall
automatically be released from its obligations under the Supplemental Guarantee

under the Indenture shall have been paid in full and (b) each Primary Guarantor

upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate of a Responsible
Officer certifying that such Primary Guarantor has no outstanding Indebtedness
for borrowed money, including any Guarantee of Indebtedness for borrowed money
as of the date of such certificate.

                  SECTION 9.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of
Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information

other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant

                            FORM OF PRIMARY GUARANTEE

                  GUARANTEE, dated as of February 24, 2006, made by TIME WARNER
NY CABLE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company("TWCNY"), and TIME WARNER
ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TWE") (each, a

time to time, the "Credit Agreement") dated as of February 24, 2006, among TIME

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                  WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have
severally agreed to make Loans to the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth therein;

                  WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the
Lenders to make their respective Loans to the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee
to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and

                  WHEREAS, each Guarantor is an affiliate of the Borrower under
the Credit Agreement and it is to the advantage of each Guarantor that the
Lenders make the Loans to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and
to induce the Lenders to make their respective loans to the Borrower under the
Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as follows:

                  1. Defined Terms. (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms
defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to
them in the Credit Agreement.

                  (b) As used herein, "Obligations" means the collective
reference to the unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans and all other
obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders (including, without limitation, interest accruing at the then applicable
rate provided in the Credit Agreement after the maturity of the Loans and
interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement
after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any
insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Borrower whether
or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition

<PAGE>

interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which
may arise under, out of, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document, in each case whether on account of principal, interest,
reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise
(including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent or to the Lenders that are required to be paid by the
Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document).

                  (c) The words "hereof," "herein" and "hereunder" and words of
similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a
whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and section and
paragraph references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified.

                  (d) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be
equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

                  2. Guarantees. (a) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally,
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by the Borrower as and when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

                  (b) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until
the Obligations are paid in full.

                  (c) Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from
time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative
Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee
for such purpose.

                  (d) Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the
contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and
under the other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can
be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating
to the insolvency of debtors.

                  (e) No payment or payments made by the Borrower, either of the
Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, either of the
Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or
proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or payment of the Obligations shall be
deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder who shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments
(other than payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or
payments received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations, up to the maximum liability of
such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full.

                  3. Right of Setoff. Each Guarantor hereby authorizes each
Lender at any time and from time to time when any amounts owed by the Borrower
under the Credit Agreement are due and payable and have not been paid (taking
into account any applicable grace

<PAGE>

periods), to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any
time held by such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender that is primarily
engaged in commercial banking activities and other indebtedness at any time
owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor
(other than indebtedness related to commercial advertising and marketing
arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business) against any of and
all of the obligations of the Borrower to such Lender hereunder now or hereafter
existing under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document whether or not
such Lender has made any demand for payment. Each Lender shall notify the
applicable Guarantor promptly of any such setoff and the application made by
such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights
of each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

                  4. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments
made by any Guarantor hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of any
Guarantor by any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any
of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or
against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall
any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from
the Borrower in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all
amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on
account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such
Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from
other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received
by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent,
if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

                  5. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of
Rights. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor, and without notice to
or further assent by any Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the
Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Obligations continued,
(b) the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part
thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset
with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed,
extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or
released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) the Credit Agreement and
any other Credit Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated,
in whole or in part, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the
payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or
released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any
obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it
as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject
thereto.

<PAGE>

                  6. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives
any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations,
and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted
or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this
Guarantee; and all dealings between the Borrower or either one or both of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on
the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Each Guarantor waives diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to
or upon the Borrower or either one or both of the Guarantors with respect to the
Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or
guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to
time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, setoff or
counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any
time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever
(with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or the Guarantors) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of the Borrower from the Obligations, or of either one or both of the
Guarantors under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When
making a demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies
hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may,
but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise
pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any other
Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or
any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or
remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person
or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any
such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower or any such other Person or
of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve
any Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the
rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law,
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the
purposes hereof "demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any
legal proceedings.

                  7. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be
effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any
substantial part of the Borrower's property, or otherwise, all as though such
payments had not been made.

                  8. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payments
hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without setoff or
counterclaim at the office of the Administrative Agent located at [______] or to
such other office as designated by the Administrative Agent.

<PAGE>

                  9. Representations and Warranties. To induce the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to
induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower
thereunder, each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative
Agent and each Lender that the representations and warranties set forth in
Article III of the Credit Agreement (other than those set forth in Sections
3.04(d), 3.06 and 3.10 on any date other than the Effective Date) as they relate
to such Guarantor or to the Credit Documents to which such Guarantor is a party,
each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct,
and the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on each
of them as if they were fully set forth herein (it being understood that any
representation or warranty set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement that
is qualified by a reference to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole shall not be deemed to apply to the Guarantor individually).

                  The Guarantors agree that the foregoing representation and
warranty shall be deemed to have been made by each Guarantor and shall be true
and correct in all material respects on the date of each borrowing by the
Borrower under the Credit Agreement on and as of such date of borrowing as
though made hereunder on and as of such date.

                  10. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor
acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent
under this Guarantee with respect to any action taken by the Administrative
Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option,
right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or
resulting or arising out of this Guarantee shall, as between the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other
agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but,
as between the Administrative Agent and any or all of the Guarantors, the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for
the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and
no Guarantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority.

                  11. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Guarantor shall be effected in the
manner provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; any such notice,
request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor
at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.

                  12. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  13. Integration. This Guarantee and the other Credit Documents
represent the agreement of each Guarantor with respect to the subject matter
hereof and there are no promises or representations by the Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not
reflected herein or in the other Credit Documents.

<PAGE>

                  14. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of
this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except
by a written instrument executed by the applicable Guarantor and the
Administrative Agent, provided that any right, power or privilege of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising under this Guarantee may be waived
by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a letter or agreement executed by
the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that no such amendment or waiver
shall release either Guarantor from its obligations hereunder without the
written consent of each Lender.

                  15. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant
to paragraph 14 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to
have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default
or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof.
No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.
The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly
or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided
by law.

                  16. Section Headings. The section headings used in this
Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

                  17. Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding
upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns;
provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.

                  18. Enforcement Expenses. Each Guarantor agrees, jointly and
severally, to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all
its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under this
Guarantee or otherwise enforcing or protecting any rights under this Guarantee
and the other Credit Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including,
without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of
counsel to the Administrative Agent.

                  19. Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed by one or
more of the Guarantors on any number of separate counterparts (including by
facsimile transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

                  20. Acknowledgements.

                  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:

execution and delivery of this Guarantee;

                  (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any
fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to such Guarantor arising out of
or in connection with this Guarantee or any other Credit Document, and the
relationship between any or all of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or
therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

                  (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit
Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby
among the Lenders or among the Guarantors and the Lenders.

                  21. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  22. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New
York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the
Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court
or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each Guarantor agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law.

                  (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee in any court
referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.

                  (c) Each Guarantor irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in paragraph 11 of this Guarantee. Nothing in
this Guarantee will affect the right of any party to this Guarantee to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

                  23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING
RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM
THEREIN.

                  24. Release. This Guarantee may only be released in accordance
with Section 9.02(b) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that if any of
the events specified in Section

<PAGE>

9.14 of the Credit Agreement occur with respect to a Guarantor then the
Guarantee shall be automatically released with respect to such Guarantor without
any further action.

<PAGE>

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Guarantee
to be duly executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the day

                             SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTEE

                  SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTEE ("Guarantee"), dated as of February 24,
2006 by each of the persons listed on the signature pages hereof (each, a
"Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors"), in favor of and for the benefit
of the lenders (collectively, the "Lenders") party to that certain Three-Year
Credit Agreement (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") dated as of
February 24, 2006, among TIME WARNER CABLE INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Borrower"), WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (the
"Agent"), and the Lenders party thereto (the Agent and the Lenders each, a
"Guaranteed Party" and collectively, the "Guaranteed Parties"). Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms
in the Credit Agreement.

                                R E C I T A L S :

                  1. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have
severally agreed to make Loans to the Borrower upon the terms and conditions set
forth therein.

                  2. It is a condition precedent to the making of the Loans to
the Borrower under the Credit Agreement that Time Warner Entertainment Company,
L.P. ("TWE") guarantee the Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Primary
Guarantee.

                  3. The Obligations of the Borrower are being incurred for and
will inure to the benefit of such Guarantor.

                  4. Each Guarantor desires to guarantee its Guaranteed
Percentage of TWE's obligations under the Primary Guarantee.

                  5. The Lenders have required that this Guarantee be executed
and delivered by the Guarantors at or prior to the Closing Date under the Credit
Agreement.

                               A G R E E M E N T :

                  In consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

                  1. Guarantee. Such Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual payment and performance of its
Guaranteed Percentage of all obligations of TWE under the Primary Guarantee when
any of the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by
required payment, declaration, demand or otherwise (including amounts which
would be paid but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of bankruptcy law) and agrees to
pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by any Guaranteed Party in enforcing any
rights under this Guarantee together with any accrued but unpaid interest on
such obligations (including, without limitation, interest

<PAGE>

which, but for the filing of a petition of bankruptcy with respect to TWE, would
have accrued on such obligations) (the "Guaranteed Obligations").

                  The standard provisions contained in Attachment A hereto are
incorporated herein and made a part hereof as if set forth herein in full.

                                       2

                     Three-Year Term Loan Credit Agreement

<PAGE>

                                                                    Attachment A

                                 GUARANTEE TERMS

                  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Guarantee to which these terms are
attached (the "Guarantee"). Each Guarantor under the Guarantee agrees as
follows:

                  1. No Release. Such Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed
Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or
further assent from it, and that such Guarantor will remain bound by the
Guarantee notwithstanding any extension, renewal or other alteration of any
Guaranteed Obligation.

                  2. Obligations Absolute. Such Guarantor waives presentation
of, demand of, notice of dishonor and protest of any Guaranteed Obligation and
also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of such Guarantor
under the Guarantee shall not be affected by any of the following (and the
Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses arising out of, or based on, any
of the following):

                           (a) change in the manner, place or terms of payment
         (including the currency thereof) of, and/or change or extension of the
         time of payment of, renewal or alteration of, any of the Guaranteed
         Obligations, any security or guarantee therefor, or any liability
         incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the guarantee
         under the Guarantee shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so
         changed, extended, renewed or altered;

                           (b) sale, exchange, release, surrender, realization
         upon or other alteration in any manner and in any order of any property
         by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever
         securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any
         of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof
         or the Guarantee;

                           (c) settlement or compromise of any of the Guaranteed
         Obligations, any security or guarantee therefor or any liability
         (including any of those under the Guarantee) incurred directly or
         indirectly in respect thereof or the Guarantee, and subordination of
         the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability
         (whether due or not) of any Person whose Obligations are guaranteed
         under the Guarantee (each such Person, a "Beneficiary");

                           (d) actions or failures to act in any manner referred
         to in the Guarantee that may deprive such Guarantor of its right to
         subrogation against any Beneficiary to recover fully indemnity for any
         payments made pursuant to the Guarantee;

                           (e) failure of any Guaranteed Party to assert any
         claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any
         Beneficiary or any guarantor or any successor thereto under the
         provisions of any Credit Document or any other agreement or otherwise;
         or

<PAGE>

                           (f) rescission, waiver, extension, renewal, amendment
         or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any Credit
         Document or any instrument or agreement executed pursuant thereto.

                  3. Guarantee of Payment and Performance. The Guarantee
constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance when due and not of
collection and such Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had
by any Guaranteed Party to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the
books of any Guaranteed Party in favor of any Beneficiary or any other Person.

                  4. Unenforceability of Obligations. The obligations of such
Guarantor under the Guarantee shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment, or termination for any reason (other than by payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations) and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, discharge
of any Beneficiary from any of the Guaranteed Obligations in a bankruptcy or
similar proceeding or otherwise (except by payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations, subject to the terms of Section 6 below and the next sentence).
Such Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of principal of, interest on or any other amount with respect to any
Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any
Guaranteed Party or any other Person upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of
any Beneficiary, any other Person or otherwise.

                  5. Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 151 of the New York
Debtor and Creditor Law) and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Guaranteed Party is hereby
authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to such Guarantor or
to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all
deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or
owing by such Guaranteed Party to or for the credit or the account of such
Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such
Guarantor to such Guaranteed Party under the Guarantee, irrespective of whether
or not such Guaranteed Party shall have made any demand under the Guarantee and
although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them,
shall be contingent or unmatured.

                  6. Reinstatement. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed
Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or
on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the Guaranteed
Parties repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree
or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such
Guaranteed Party or any of its property or (b) any settlement or compromise of
any such claim effected by such Guaranteed Party with any such claimant
(including any Beneficiary), then and in such event such Guarantor agrees that
any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon
it, notwithstanding any revocation of the Guarantee or the cancellation of any
Credit Document or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Beneficiary,
and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to such Guaranteed Party hereunder
for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had
never originally been received by any such Guaranteed Party.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  7. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments
made by such Guarantor under the Guarantee or any set-off or application of
funds of such Guarantor by any Guaranteed Party, such Guarantor shall not be
entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Guaranteed Party against
any Beneficiary or guarantee or right of offset held by any Guaranteed Party of
the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall such Guarantor seek to be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Beneficiary in
respect of payments made by such Guarantor under the Guarantee, until all
amounts owing to the Guaranteed Parties by any Beneficiary on account of the
Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to such
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the
Guaranteed Obligations have not been paid in full, such amount shall be held by
such Guarantor in trust for the Guaranteed Parties, segregated from other funds
of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be
turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such
Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if
required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

                  8. Amendment and Waiver. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of the Guarantee, or consent to any
departure by such Guarantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective without
the written concurrence of the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement or as
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement including, without limitation,
Section 9.02(b) and Section 9.14 thereof. No waiver of any single breach or
default under the Guarantee shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or
default. All notices, requests, demands or other communications to or upon such
Guarantor or any Guaranteed Party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given or made as provided in the Credit Agreement.

                  9. Successors and Assigns. The Guarantee shall be binding upon
such Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
the respective successors and assigns of the Guaranteed Parties and, in the
event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Guaranteed Party, the
rights and privileges herein conferred upon that Guaranteed Party shall
automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions hereof; provided, however, that no Guarantor
may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under the
Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

                  10. Governing Law. THE GUARANTEE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE
UNDER, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF

designates and appoints the Borrower, at its address specified for notices in
the Credit Agreement and such other Persons as may hereafter be selected by such
Guarantor irrevocably agreeing in writing to so serve, as its agent to receive
on its behalf service of all process in any such proceedings in any such court,
such service being hereby acknowledged by such Guarantor to be effective and
binding service in every respect. A copy of any such process so served shall be
mailed by registered mail to such Guarantor at its address as set forth above
except that unless otherwise provided by applicable law, any failure to mail
such copy shall not affect the validity of service of process. If any agent
appointed by such Guarantor refuses to accept service, such Guarantor hereby
agrees that service upon it by mail shall constitute sufficient notice. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of any Guaranteed Party to bring proceedings
against such Guarantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY

with Section 9.02(b) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that if any of
the events specified in Section 9.14 of the Credit Agreement occur with respect
to a Guarantor then the Guarantee shall be automatically released with respect
to such Guarantor without any further action.
