(Plan Term Sheet)

TERM SHEET FOR PROPOSED CHAPTER 11 LIQUIDATION

In order to maximize value for its creditors and equity holders, America Online Latin America, Inc. (“AOLA”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors1) have developed and implemented a plan to dispose of and wind-down their businesses, initially through the attempt to sell their subsidiary business units as going concerns and, to the extent those efforts are unsuccessful, through the termination of operations at the respective business units and liquidation of assets. It is intended that this wind-down process will continue following the Debtors’ filing for Chapter 11 and that distributions to creditors of and interest holders in the Debtors would be made under the terms of a Chapter 11 plan of liquidation. It is anticipated that AOLA’s direct and indirect subsidiaries that are not Debtors will sell and/or otherwise liquidate their businesses in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law.

The following is an outline of the principal terms and conditions for such a Chapter 11 plan of liquidation (the “Plan”) for the Debtors that, subject to the execution of a definitive support agreement, the Debtors, Time Warner Inc. (“TW”), America Online, Inc. (“AOL”; and together with TW, the “TW Parties”), Aspen Investments L.L.C. (“Aspen”) and Atlantis Investments L.L.C. (“Atlantis”; and collectively with Aspen and all affiliates of Aspen and Atlantis, “ODC”) would agree to support.

This term sheet is for discussion purposes only and does not, and shall not be construed to, indicate the agreement of any party to support a plan providing for the classification and treatment of claims and interests described below; any such agreement would be evidenced by the execution of definitive documentation relating to the support of the Plan. Additionally, the liquidation proposed hereby remains subject to review for, among other things, tax implications and efficiency. This term sheet and all related communications shall be deemed to be settlement negotiations and subject to Federal Rule of Evidence 408.

Classification and Treatment of Claims Under the Plan
(Including Treatment of Unclassified Claims)

Unclassified Claims

  1.   Administrative Claims To the extent not paid during the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases and to the extent not Assumed PR Liabilities (as defined below), paid in full on the latest of the effective date of the Plan (the “Plan Effective Date”), the date on which such claim is allowed or the date that such claim will become due pursuant to its terms.

  2.   Priority Tax Claims To the extent not paid during the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases and to the extent not Assumed PR Liabilities, paid in full on the later of the Plan Effective Date or the date on which such claim is allowed.

Series C Beneficial Interests” means the beneficial interests in the Trust distributed in accordance with the Plan to the TW Parties on account of the TW Party Claims representing the right to receive the distributions provided for below.

Net Available Cash” means the pro rata portion of Available Cash, as determined by the ratio that the TW Party Claims then outstanding bear to the aggregate amount of allowed Class 2 and Class 3 Claims, less amounts necessary to fund the following (in order of priority): (x) distributions on account of the Series A-1 Beneficial Interests and (y) the amount payable under clause (b)(1) in the next following paragraph.

The TW Parties agree to assume the ownership of the Debtors’ Puerto Rico assets (the “PR Assets”) in partial repayment of the TW Party Claims, such repayment to be in an amount (such amount, the “Net PR Value”) equal to $15 million less any third-party liabilities expressly assumed by the TW Parties in connection with such assumption (the “Assumed PR Liabilities”), plus or minus, as the case may be, the “Net Subscription Income” accrued and unpaid under the Letter Agreement between AOL and AOLA dated December 1, 2000, regarding the PR Assets (the “PR Agreement”) as of the date of such assumption. Under no circumstances will the TW Parties or any of their affiliates make any cash capital payment or other cash or non-cash investment or expenditure for the benefit of AOLA (as opposed to forgiveness of obligations and other than with respect to the TW Parties’ assumption of the Assumed PR Liabilities) on account of the TW Parties’ assumption of the PR Assets.

As provided below, subject to the occurrence of the Plan Effective Date, the effective date of such transfer of ownership of the PR Assets shall occur on or about June 30, 2006.
