RE: Clarification of Employment Agreement
Dear Rob:
This letter serves to confirm our mutual understanding about how your August 15, 2005 employment agreement will affect your equity awards in connection with the planned separation (the Separation) of Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) from Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner). If you agree with this description, please sign and return a copy of this letter to TWC. These clarifications will be a part of your employment agreement effective on August 5, 2008.
1. Under your employment agreement, the Separation will not have an impact on the vesting or term of your TWC equity awards, nor will the Separation result in any special treatment of your awards under the TWC LTIP. Accordingly, the Separation will not accelerate the vesting of any of your TWC equity awards, nor will the term of those awards be shortened on account of the Separation.
2. Upon a termination without cause, unless you are then eligible for retirement, all of your vested TWC and Time Warner stock options, and not just those that vest as a result of such termination, will remain exercisable for three years after you cease to be treated as an employee of the Company (but not beyond the original term of the options). This same treatment applies if you terminate your employment in connection with a Material Breach by the Company of your employment agreement.
3. The reference in section 7.5 of your employment agreement to the phrase left the payroll will be understood as ceased to be treated as an employee.
Sincerely, | ||||
/s/ Marc Lawrence-Apfelbaum | ||||
