NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan (as defined below), the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the Option provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein, and such grant is required under Section 3.5 of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated December 11, 2007 between the Participant and the Company (such employment agreement, as it may be amended, superseded or replaced, the “Employment Agreement”).

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Definitions. Whenever the following terms are used in this Agreement, they shall have the meanings set forth below. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.

     (a) “Cause” shall have the meaning as defined in the Employment Agreement.

     (b) “Expiration Date” means the date set forth on the Notice (as defined below).

     (c) “Plan” means the Time Warner Inc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time.

     (d) “Retirement” means a termination of employment by the Participant (i) following the attainment of age 55 with ten (10) or more years of service with the Company or any Affiliate or (ii) pursuant to a retirement plan or early retirement program of the Company or any Affiliate.

     (e) “Vested Portion” means, at any time, the portion of an Option which has become vested, as described in Section 3 of this Agreement.

     2. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the number of Shares set forth on the Notice of Grant of Stock Option (the “Notice”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option (the “Option Price”) shall be as set forth on the Notice. The Option is intended to be a non-qualified stock option, and as such is not intended to be treated as an option that complies with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     3. Vesting of the Option.

     (a) In General. Subject to Sections 3(b) and 3(c), the Option shall vest and become exercisable at such times as are set forth in the Notice.

     (b) Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control, the unvested portion of the Option, to the extent not previously cancelled or forfeited, shall immediately become vested and exercisable upon the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the Change in Control or (ii) the termination of the Participant’s Employment pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement.

     (c) Termination of Employment. If the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates for any reason (including, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant’s change in status from an employee to a non-employee (other than director of the Company or any Affiliate)), the Option, to the extent not then vested, shall be immediately canceled by the Company without consideration; provided, however, that (i) if the Participant’s Employment terminates due to death or termination by the Company at the end of the “Disability Period” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the unvested portion of the Option, to the extent not previously cancelled or forfeited, shall immediately become vested and exercisable and (ii) if the Participant’s Employment terminates due to Retirement or due to termination pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement, then a pro rata portion of the Options that would vest on the next anniversary of the date of grant shall vest as follows:

	(x)		the number of Options that would vest on the next anniversary of the date of grant multiplied by;
	(y)		a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the last anniversary of the date of grant (or the date of grant if less than one year has elapsed) preceding the effective date of the termination of Employment through the date of such termination of Employment, and the denominator of which shall be 365.

If the product of (x) and (y) results in a fractional number of Options, such fractional number shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of Options.

The Vested Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the period set forth in Section 4(a) of this Agreement. If the Participant is absent from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of a temporary disability (any disability other than a Disability), or on an approved leave of absence for any purpose, the Participant shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated Employment, except to the extent that the Committee so determines.

     4. Exercise of Option.

     (a) Period of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant may exercise all or any part of the Vested Portion of the Option at

any time prior to the Expiration Date; provided that, if the Participant’s Employment terminates prior to the Expiration Date, the Vested Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the period set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employment Agreement provides for treatment of Options that is more favorable to the Participant than clauses (i) – (vii) of this Section 4(a), then the terms of the Employment Agreement shall apply. If the last day on which the Option may be exercised, whether the Expiration Date or due to a termination of the Optionee’s Employment prior to the Expiration Date, is a Saturday, Sunday or other day that is not a trading day on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or, if the Company’s Shares are not then listed on the NYSE, such other stock exchange or trading system that is the primary exchange on which the Company’s Shares are then traded, then the last day on which the Option may be exercised shall be the preceding trading day on the NYSE or such other stock exchange or trading system.

     (i) Death or Disability. If the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates due to the Participant’s death or termination by the Company at the end of the Disability Period, the Participant (or his or her representative) may exercise the Vested Portion of the Option for a period ending on the earlier of (A) three (3) years following the date of such termination and (B) the Expiration Date;

     (ii) Retirement. If the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates due to the Participant’s Retirement, the Participant may exercise the Vested Portion of the Option for a period ending on the earlier of (A) five (5) years following the date of such termination and (B) the Expiration Date; provided, that if the Company or any Affiliate has given the Participant notice that the Participant’s Employment is being terminated for Cause prior to the Participant’s election to terminate due to the Participant’s Retirement, then the provisions of Section 4(a)(v) shall control;

     (iii) Termination other than for Cause or Due to a Material Breach of the Employment Agreement by the Participant. If the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement, the Participant may exercise the Vested Portion of the Option for a period ending on the earlier of (A) one year following the date of such termination and (B) the Expiration Date; provided that if Participant satisfies the age and service requirements described in the definition of “Retirement,” then the provisions of Section 4(a)(ii) shall be controlling;

     (iv) Termination by the Company for Cause. If the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Employment Agreement, the Participant may exercise the Vested Portion of the Option for a period ending on the earlier of (A) one month following the date of such termination and (B) the Expiration Date; provided, however, that if the Participant is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate for Cause on account of one or more acts of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation committed by the Participant, the Vested Portion of the Option shall immediately terminate in full and cease to be exercisable.

     (b) Method of Exercise.

     (i) Subject to Section 4(a) of this Agreement, the Vested Portion of an Option may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its principal office written notice of intent to so exercise; provided that the Option may be exercised with respect to whole Shares only. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised, shall be signed (whether or not in electronic form) by the person exercising the Option and shall make provision for the payment of the Option Price. Payment of the aggregate Option Price shall be paid to the Company, at the election of the Committee, pursuant to one or more of the following methods: (A) in cash, or its equivalent; (B) by transferring Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased to the Company and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; (C) partly in cash and partly in Shares; or (D) if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee, through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate Option Price. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option until the issuance of the Shares.

     (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, absent an available exemption to registration or qualification, the Option may not be exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Option or the Shares under applicable state and federal securities or other laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national securities exchange that the Committee shall in its sole reasonable discretion determine to be necessary or advisable.

     (iii) Upon the Company’s determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue certificates in the Participant’s name for such Shares. However, the Company shall not be liable to the Participant for damages relating to any delays in issuing the certificates to the Participant, any loss by the Participant of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves.

     (iv) In the event of the Participant’s death, the Vested Portion of an Option shall remain vested and exercisable by the Participant’s executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution as the case may be, to the extent set forth in Section 4(a) of this Agreement. Any heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

     (v) As a condition to the exercise of any Option evidenced by this Agreement, the Participant agrees to hold, for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such exercise, a number of Shares issued pursuant to such exercise, equal to 75% (rounded down to the nearest whole Share) of the quotient of (A) and (B), where (A) is the product of (1) the number of Shares exercised by the Participant multiplied by

(2) fifty percent (50%) of the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price and (B) is the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise. The holding requirement related to Shares that is established in this Section 4(b)(v) shall terminate with respect to the Options evidenced by this Agreement (as well as any Shares issued pursuant to exercise of such Options) on the first anniversary of the date of termination of the Participant’s Employment with the Company or its Affiliates.

     5. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to be retained in the Employment of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or its Affiliate may at any time dismiss the Participant or discontinue any other relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

     6. Legend on Certificates. The certificates representing the Shares purchased by exercise of an Option shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed, any applicable federal or state laws and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     7. Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an Option may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

     8. Withholding. The Participant may be required to pay to the Company or its Affiliate and the Company or its Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any payment due or transfer made under the Option or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Option, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under the Option or under the Plan and to take such action as may be necessary in the option of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

     9. Securities Laws. Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.

     10. Notices. Any notice under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its General Counsel at the principal executive office of the Company, with a copy to the Director, Global Stock Plans Administration, at the principal executive office of the Company, and to the Participant at the address appearing in the personnel records of the Company for the Participant or to either party at such other address as either party hereto may
