Subject to Section 2.1(d), following the

consummation of the GP Redemption and the Subsidiary Transfers, and prior to the consummation of the TWC Redemption, (a) Time Warner Cable shall (or shall cause its Affiliates to) assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Holdco and Holdco shall accept from Time Warner Cable (and its Affiliates), all of its (and their) right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets and (b) Holdco shall assume and agree to pay and discharge, as and when they become due, the Assumed Liabilities.

For the avoidance of doubt, both the GP Redemption and the Holdco Transaction shall take place prior to the Closing.

(iv) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that its execution of this Agreement shall constitute its consent and approval of the GP Redemption, the Holdco Transaction, the TWC Redemption, the Comcast Subsidiary Transfer, if any, and the Time Warner Cable Asset Purchase Transaction, for all purposes.

(d) Authorizations and Consents.

(i) If and to the extent that the transfer or assignment from TWE to TWE Holdco 1, from any Transferring Person to Time Warner Cable or from Time Warner Cable or any of its Affiliates to Holdco of any Transferred Asset (or following such transfer or assignment, the transfer of Holdco Shares to Comcast Trust or Comcast Subsidiary, or from Comcast Trust to Comcast Subsidiary, as the case may be) would be a violation of applicable Legal Requirements with respect to such Transferred Asset, require any Authorization with respect to such Transferred Asset or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the applicable transferee thereunder then the transfer or assignment to Time Warner Cable or Holdco, as applicable, of such Transferred Asset (each a “Delayed Transfer Asset”) shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed and/or such Authorizations have been made or obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Delayed Transfer Asset shall be deemed a Transferred Asset for purposes of determining whether any Liability is an Assumed Liability.

(ii) If the transfer or assignment of any Transferred Asset intended to be transferred or assigned hereunder is not consummated prior to or at the Closing, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.1(d) or for any other reason, then Time Warner Cable (or its Affiliate) shall thereafter, directly or indirectly, hold such Transferred Asset for the use and benefit, insofar as reasonably possible and not prohibited under the terms of any applicable Contract, of Holdco (at the expense of Holdco). In addition, Time Warner Cable shall take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Holdco in order to place Holdco, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Transferred Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Transferred Assets including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Transferred Asset, are to inure from and after the Closing to Holdco. To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements and to the extent otherwise permissible in light of any required Authorization, Holdco shall be entitled to, and shall be responsible for, the management of any Transferred Assets not yet transferred to it as a result of this Section 2.1(d) and the parties agree to use reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate and coordinate with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Time Warner Cable will cause TWE and each other Transferring Person to comply with the provisions hereof as if TWE or such other Transferring Person were a party hereto to the extent any Transferred Asset was intended to be, but was not, transferred in the GP Redemption, Subsidiary Transfers or the Holdco Transaction, as applicable.

(iii) If and when the Authorizations, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Transferred Asset pursuant to this Section 2.1(d), are obtained, the transfer of the applicable Transferred Asset to Holdco shall automatically and without further action be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Transaction Documents.

(iv) Neither Time Warner Cable nor any Affiliate thereof shall be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced by Holdco, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by Holdco except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, including for this purpose Section 3.4.

(v) Prior to the Holdco Transaction, Time Warner Cable shall deliver to Holdco a list identifying, in reasonable detail and to Time Warner Cable’s knowledge, the Delayed Transfer Assets and the Authorizations required therefor.

(vi) The parties hereto further agree (A) that any Delayed Transferred Assets referred to in this Section 2.1(d) shall be treated for all Income Tax purposes as assets of Holdco (or any successor thereof) and (B) not to report or take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable Tax law or a good faith resolution of a contest, provided that if such a resolution would result in Time Warner Cable taking a position that is inconsistent with any reporting position required to be taken under the Tax Matters Agreement the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall apply).

Section 2.2 Assumed Liabilities. At the Closing and except as otherwise provided for herein, Holdco shall assume, and, from and after the Closing, Holdco shall pay, discharge and perform as and when due, all (a) Liabilities of Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates to the extent arising out of, resulting from or associated with the ownership and operation of the Transferred Assets and/or the Transferred Business prior to Closing, or the transfer of such Transferred Assets and/or Transferred Business at Closing, including all Master Pre-Closing Liabilities, but in each case only to the extent such Liabilities are reflected in the Closing Net Liabilities Amount used to calculate the Final Closing Adjustment Amount and (b) all Liabilities to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from the ownership and operation of the Transferred Assets and/or the Transferred Business after the Closing, including all Specified Launch Support Liabilities, (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”). The Assumed Liabilities shall not include (i) Excluded Tax Liabilities, (ii) Liabilities set forth on Schedule 2.2, (iii) Liabilities for long-term debt (including the current portion thereof), (iv) Liabilities to the extent arising out of, resulting from or associated with the use, ownership or operation of the Excluded Assets other than Master Pre-Closing Liabilities and Specified Launch Support Liabilities, (v) any Liabilities of Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates other than Assumed Liabilities, (vi) any Liabilities of the type that would be excluded from financial statements by reason of the GAAP Adjustments or (vii) any intercompany payable created to record cash lent to the Transferred Systems prior to Closing (clauses (i) through (vii) collectively, “Excluded Liabilities”).

Section 2.3 Registration Rights Agreement.

(a) Comcast Trust and Time Warner Cable each hereby acknowledge and agree that any request by Comcast Trust for a demand registration under the Registration Rights Agreement prior to the date hereof (the “Previous Request”) will be treated for all purposes as if it had not been made. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(g) hereof, unless and until a subsequent request for a demand registration is delivered to Time Warner Cable in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, Time Warner Cable will not be required to take any action under the Registration Rights Agreement in respect of any request for a registration thereunder.

(c) Comcast Trust hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Controlled Affiliates that, except as set forth in Section 2.3(g) hereof, it shall not transfer (or cause to be transferred), dispose (or cause to be disposed of) or otherwise monetize, in any such case directly or indirectly, any of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it or any of its Controlled Affiliates until such time, if any, as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3(c), Comcast Trust may, at any time, directly or indirectly transfer all or any of its Registrable Securities to Comcast Parent or any Subsidiary of Comcast Parent if such Person agrees in writing to be bound by, and entitled to the benefits of, this Section 2.3 as if a party hereto and delivers a written acknowledgment of the same to Time Warner Cable (including with respect to any subsequent transfers or dispositions), provided that such transfer is otherwise permitted under this Agreement (disregarding this Section 2.3).

(d) For purposes of offerings made pursuant to the Demand Registrations contemplated by Section 2.3(g) hereof or any offering in respect of which Comcast Trust has the opportunity to exercise incidental registration rights pursuant to Article V of the Registration Rights Agreement, from the Comcast Priority Start Date until the Comcast Priority Termination Date, each of the Registration Rights Agreement and the TWX Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended by deleting clauses (a), (b) and (c) and the final sentence of Section 6.10 of each such agreement and replacing them in their entirety with the following:

Immediately following the Comcast Priority Termination Date, (1) Section 6.10 of each of the Registration Rights Agreement and the TWX Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended so as to read as such Section read immediately prior to the amendment effected by this Section 2.3(d); and (2) for purposes calculating the amount of securities to be included in any offering pursuant to Section 6.10(c) of each of the Registration Rights Agreement and the TWX Registration Rights Agreement, any Registrable Securities sold by any Stockholder pursuant to the Section 2.3 Registration Statement for Cumulative Net Proceeds (as defined in each such agreement) in excess of $3.0 billion (“Excess Section 2.3(g) Securities”) shall be deemed to have been included in such offering pursuant to Section 6.10(c) until all such Excess Section 2.3(g) Securities have been deemed included in an offering pursuant to this subclause (2).

(e) Notwithstanding Section 6.8(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, but subject to Section 2.3(g)(ix), (i) prior to the Comcast Priority Start Date, Comcast Trust shall not be required to enter into any Lock-up Agreement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that does not terminate on or prior to the Comcast Priority Start Date and (ii) after the Lock-Up Period, Comcast Trust shall not be required to enter into any Lock-up Agreement unless Comcast Trust has the opportunity to exercise incidental registration rights pursuant to Article V of the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such offering, subject to the limitations and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, as amended hereby.

(f) Time Warner Cable acknowledges that Comcast Trust is obligated to dispose of the Redemption Securities pursuant to the FCC Trust Requirements and agrees to reasonably cooperate with Comcast Trust, Comcast Parent and Comcast Subsidiary in effecting such disposition pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, as amended hereby.

(g) Execution of this Agreement shall be deemed a written request, pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement, by Comcast Trust to the Issuer to use all commercially reasonable efforts to file, on (but not prior to) the Demand Filing Date, a registration statement that registers the offer and sale of all

Registrable Securities of Issuer beneficially owned by Comcast Trust or any of its Controlled Affiliates. Such Demand Registration shall be subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, which agreement shall be deemed amended, from the date hereof until the Comcast Priority Termination Date, as follows:

     (i) Frequency of Demand Registrations. Section 4.1(a)(i) of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be replaced with the following: “more than one such Demand Registration in any period of 90 days,”.

     (ii) Identity of Requesting Stockholder; Intended Method of Disposition. For purposes of Section 4.1(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stockholder making the request shall be deemed to be Comcast Trust and the intended method of distribution shall be one or more underwritten public offerings.

Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, the registration statement (the “Section 2.3 Registration Statement”) in respect of the Demand Registration contemplated by this Section 2.3(g) will be on Form S-1 (or on Form S-3 if the Issuer is eligible to use such form) registering an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i) under the Securities Act; each takedown under such Section 2.3 Registration Statement shall constitute a separate Demand Registration for purposes of Section 4.1(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that the Demand Registration contemplated by this Section 2.3(g) and the first takedown thereunder shall collectively constitute a single such Demand Registration; and, Comcast Trust shall give Issuer reasonable, but no less than ten (10) Business Days’, prior notice of its intent to effect a takedown under

such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Issuer is eligible to use Form S-3 and to the extent the original Section 2.3 Registration Statement was filed on Form S-1, the Issuer may file an additional Section 2.3 Registration Statement on Form S-3 and on the date the Securities and Exchange Commission declares such additional Section 2.3 Registration Statement effective, Comcast Trust shall not initiate any new takedowns under the original Section 2.3 Registration Statement and, upon the completion of any then pending distributions of Registrable Securities under the original Section 2.3 Registration Statement, Issuer shall be entitled to withdraw such original Section 2.3 Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act.

(vi) Effectiveness of Shelf Registration Statement. Section 6.1(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:

“(b) the Issuer shall, as expeditiously as practicable, use all commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective as set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, provided that the Issuer shall not be required (i) to supplement the Prospectus until five (5) Business Days after it first announces earnings in respect of its first, second or third fiscal quarters or (ii) to file any post-effective amendment required in respect of its annual report on Form 10-K until ten (10) Business Days after it files such annual report (such ten Business Day period shall constitute a Deferral Period not subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.3(c) hereof); and the Issuer shall comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Issuer shall not be required to file or have declared effective more than one post-effective amendment of the Section 2.3 Registration Statement (as defined in the Redemption Agreement)

     (viii) Restrictions on Covered Transactions. Section 6.7 of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended by adding the following clause (e) thereto:

“(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, from the Comcast Priority Start Date through the Comcast Priority Termination Date, the Issuer shall not effect any Covered Transactions other than as provided in Section 6.7(b)(ii) hereof, but Trust II shall be permitted to effect any Covered Transactions, Regulatory Sales or Deemed Sales.”

     (ix) Restrictions on Public Sales. From the Comcast Priority Start Date through the Comcast Priority Termination Date, Section 6.8(a)(i) of the Registration Rights Agreement and the TWX Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended (A) by replacing “180 days” with “90 days (or such longer period, not to exceed 180 days, as Trust II shall determine)” and (B) by adding the following as the final sentence thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lockup Agreement entered into by the Issuer shall permit the Issuer to issue

shares of Common Equity as consideration in an acquisition transaction or as compensation to employees.”

(x) Transferability of rights under this Section 2.3(g). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement to the contrary, (A) only Comcast Trust, on behalf of itself, any of its Controlled Affiliates and any transferee under Section 2.3(c) hereof, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 2.3(g) and Comcast Trust shall direct all actions hereunder, provided that, if Comcast Trust ceases to exist and, pursuant to Section 2.3(c) hereof, has transferred all of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it and its Controlled Affiliates to Comcast Parent or its Affiliates, then Comcast Parent shall direct all actions hereunder; and (B) from the Comcast Priority Start Date until the Comcast Priority Termination Date, no Stockholder other than Comcast Trust or any of its Controlled Affiliates (and Comcast Parent and its Controlled Affiliates as provided in the proviso to subclause (A) hereof) under the Registration Rights Agreement shall be permitted to exercise its registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement.

(h) The foregoing shall be deemed to amend, modify and supplement the Registration Rights Agreement and the TWX Registration Rights Agreement; provided, that, it is acknowledged and agreed by Time Warner Cable that nothing contained in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed a revocation by Comcast Trust for purposes of Section 4.1(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement. In its capacity as the ultimate indirect beneficiary of the Comcast Trust, Comcast Parent hereby expressly acknowledges and approves of the agreement made by Comcast Trust in this Section 2.3. TWX hereby expressly acknowledges and approves the amendment, modification and supplement to the Registration Rights Agreement and the TWX Registration Rights Agreement set forth in this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 [Intentionally Omitted]

Section 2.5 Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount. No later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Time Warner Cable will deliver to Comcast Trust and Comcast Subsidiary a good faith estimate of the Subscriber Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Subscriber Adjustment Amount”), if any, and a good faith estimate of the Closing Net Liabilities Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Closing Net Liabilities Adjustment Amount”), if any, together with appropriate documentation supporting such estimates. The sum of the Estimated Subscriber Adjustment Amount and the Estimated Closing Net Liabilities Adjustment Amount is

referred to herein as the “Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount” and may be a positive or a negative amount.

Section 2.6 Final-Closing Adjustment Amount.

(a) No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (the “Delivery Date”), (i) Comcast Subsidiary will deliver to Time Warner Cable (A) its determination of the Closing Net Liabilities Amount for Holdco and based on the foregoing, the Closing Net Liabilities Adjustment Amount, (B) its determination of the Transferred Closing Subscriber Number and the Transferred Base Subscriber Number and (C) appropriate documentation supporting such determinations (the “Comcast Statement”) and (ii) Time Warner Cable will deliver to Comcast Subsidiary (A) its determination of the Retained Closing Subscriber Number and the Retained Base Subscriber Number and (B) appropriate documentation supporting such determinations (the “Time Warner Cable Statement”). Each such statement shall be prepared in good faith in accordance with this Agreement based on the books and records of the Transferred Systems held by Holdco or based on the books and records of the Time Warner Cable Retained Cable Systems held by Time Warner Cable, as the case may be.

(b) If Time Warner Cable disagrees with any item in the Comcast Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i), Time Warner Cable may, within ninety (90) days after the Delivery Date, deliver a notice to Comcast Subsidiary disagreeing with such item and setting forth Time Warner Cable’s calculation of such item, together with appropriate documentation supporting such determination. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or portions thereof as to which Time Warner Cable disagrees, and Time Warner Cable shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and portions of items contained in the Comcast Statement delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i). If Comcast Subsidiary disagrees with any item in the Time Warner Cable Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(ii), Comcast Subsidiary may, within ninety (90) days after the Delivery Date, deliver a notice to Time Warner Cable disagreeing with such item and setting forth Time Warner Cable’s calculation of such item, together with appropriate documentation supporting such determination. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or portions thereof as to which Comcast Subsidiary disagrees, and Comcast Subsidiary shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and portions of items contained in the Time Warner Cable Statement delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(ii). Any such notice shall be prepared in good faith in accordance with this Agreement based on the books and records of the Transferred Systems held by Holdco or the Time Warner Cable Retained Cable Systems, as the case may be.

(c) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Time Warner Cable and Comcast Subsidiary shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts. If during such period, Time Warner Cable and Comcast Subsidiary are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly jointly retain a nationally recognized accounting firm that is not the principal independent accountant of either Comcast Parent or Time Warner Cable’s ultimate

parent (the “Accounting Referee”) to resolve the disputed items or amounts. In making its determinations of the propriety of items and amounts, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items (or portions thereof) or amounts as to which Time Warner Cable and Comcast Subsidiary disagree and, with respect to each item (or portion thereof) or amount, shall select a number within the range of the dispute between Time Warner Cable and Comcast Subsidiary. The Accounting Referee shall deliver to Time Warner Cable and Comcast Subsidiary, as promptly as practicable (but, in any event, within thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute to it), a report setting forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and based thereon (and on the items (or portions thereof) and amounts not in dispute) the Closing Adjustment Amount. Such report shall be final and binding upon Time Warner Cable and Comcast Subsidiary. The costs of the Accounting Referee shall be shared equally by Time Warner Cable and Comcast Subsidiary. Holdco and Time Warner Cable will, and will cause their Affiliates and independent accountants to, cooperate and assist each other and the Accounting Referee in conducting their respective reviews of the amounts referred to in this Section 2.6, including without limitation, making available to the extent necessary any books, records, work papers and personnel.

(d) As used herein, the term “Final Closing Adjustment Amount” means, with respect to any determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount (as defined below): (1) if no notice of disagreement is delivered by either party in accordance with Section 2.6(b) with respect to the other party’s determination of an element used to calculated the Closing Adjustment Amount, the Closing Adjustment Amount calculated based on the amounts in the Comcast Statement and the Time Warner Cable Statement; (2) if either party delivers a notice of disagreement in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and the parties reach agreement on all disputed items within 30 days following such delivery, the Closing Adjustment Amount as determined in accordance with such agreement; or (3) if either party delivers a notice of disagreement in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and the parties fail to reach agreement within 30 days, the Closing Adjustment Amount as calculated based on the undisputed amounts in the Comcast Statement and Time Warner Cable Statement and with respect to disputed items, as determined by the Accounting Referee. As used herein, the term “Closing Adjustment Amount” means the sum of the Subscriber Adjustment Amount and the Closing Net Liabilities Amount.

(e) If the Final Closing Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount, Time Warner Cable will pay to Holdco the amount of such excess. If the Estimated Closing Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Closing Adjustment Amount, Holdco will pay to Time Warner Cable the amount of such excess. Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) shall be made in cash at a mutually convenient time and place within three (3) days following the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Amount. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to and including the date of payment at the Base Interest Rate.

(f) Tax Treatment of Adjustment Payments and Interest.

(i) For all Tax purposes (unless required by a change in applicable Tax law or a good faith resolution of a contest) the parties hereto agree to treat and to cause their respective Affiliates to treat any payment pursuant to Section 2.6(e) to Holdco by Time Warner Cable (a “Time Warner Cable Adjustment Payment”) or to Time Warner Cable by Holdco (a “Holdco Adjustment Payment” and, each, an “Adjustment Payment”) as (x) with respect to a Time Warner Cable Adjustment Payment, a contribution by Time Warner Cable to Holdco occurring immediately prior to the Closing, and (y) with respect to a Holdco Adjustment Payment, an adjustment to the Cash Amount transferred by Time Warner Cable to Holdco pursuant to the Holdco Transaction occurring immediately prior to the Closing.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.6(f)(i) above, any Adjustment Payments that represent interest payable under Section 2.6(e) hereof shall be treated for all Tax purposes (unless required by a change in applicable Tax law or a good faith resolution of a contest), as (1) deductible to the payor and (2) taxable to the payee.

(g) As used herein, the term “Closing Net Liabilities Adjustment Amount” means the excess, if any, of the Closing Net Liabilities Amount over $74,300,000. The “Closing Net Liabilities Amount” shall equal the amount of all Liabilities of Holdco (other than the Holdco Transaction Liabilities) as of the Closing (after giving effect to the Closing), less the amount of all current assets (other than inventory and the Excluded Transferred Cash) of Holdco as of the Closing (after giving effect to the Closing), in each case as would be reflected on the face of a balance sheet (excluding any footnotes thereto) prepared in accordance with GAAP; provided that, if Comcast Subsidiary or one of its Affiliates shall have made the request provided in the first sentence of Section 3.1(g)(v), the Actuarial Amount shall be treated as a Liability on the face of such balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP for purposes of this calculation and if Comcast Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates has not made such request the Liabilities assumed by Comcast Subsidiary pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.1(g)(v) shall be treated as a Liability on the face of such balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP for purposes of this calculation. The Closing Net Liabilities Amount shall be deemed to include (without duplication) assets or Liabilities of Comcast Subsidiary or its Affiliates or Holdco conveyed or assumed (as applicable) pursuant to Section 3.1, to the extent such assets or Liabilities would be reflected on the face of a balance sheet of the Transferred Business (excluding any footnotes thereto) prepared in accordance with GAAP as of the Closing Time, but without giving effect to the Closing.

For purposes of this Article 3, “Transferred System Employees” shall not include those employees holding the job titles as of the date hereof listed on Schedule 3.1(a) (as previously identified by name to Comcast Subsidiary by Time Warner Cable) (such employees, the “Retained Employees”) and none of Holdco, Comcast Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligation or Liability with respect to any of the Retained Employees. Holdco (or its Affiliates as of the Closing) shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the transfer of employment described in this Section 3.1(a), including, without limitation, making a general offer of employment to each such Transferred System Employee. The parties hereto shall not take any action that is not otherwise permitted under this Article 3 that would interfere with such employees becoming employed by Holdco as of the consummation of the Holdco Transaction. Immediately following the Closing, Comcast shall cause the Comcast Transferred System Employees to be paid base salary or wage rates no less than those rates provided to such employees immediately prior to the consummation of the Holdco Transaction and to be provided benefit plan participation at levels no less favorable than those applicable to similarly situated employees of Comcast Subsidiary or its Affiliates at the time of the Closing. As of the Closing, Holdco shall have no employees other than employees who are primarily employed in connection with the Transferred Systems.

In addition, Holdco shall recognize, as to each Comcast Transferred System Employee, all vacation, sick days and other paid time off accrued by such Comcast Transferred System Employee but unused as of the consummation of the Holdco Transaction, in each case to the extent such amounts are reflected in the Closing Net Liabilities Amount used in calculating the Final Adjustment Amount.

(iii) Subject to obtaining any necessary consents and except as provided in Section 7.2(h) or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, as of the consummation of the Holdco Transaction, Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates (other than Holdco) shall assign to Holdco, and Holdco shall assume, (A) all rights, obligations and Liabilities of Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates (other than Holdco) (x) under all employment agreements, unfunded compensation arrangements and employee related insurance policies and (y) for benefits accrued and payable now and in the future under all Time Warner Cable Benefit Plans, and (B) all other employment-related rights, obligations and Liabilities, in each case to the extent relating to Transferred System Employees (other than Liabilities relating to or arising under the “Time Warner Cable 401(k) Plan”, the “Time Warner Cable Pension Plans” (each as defined below), the Time Warner Cable Excess Benefit Pension Plan and any equity-based compensation plans maintained by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates) (such Liabilities shall be included in the meaning of Assumed Liabilities). With respect to the period prior to Closing, any such Liabilities shall only be assumed to the extent reflected in the Closing Net Liabilities Amount used in calculating the Final Adjustment Amount.

(iv) The parties hereto agree that, except to the extent that sponsorship of a funded Time Warner Cable Benefit Plan is continued by Time Warner Cable or any of its Affiliates (other than Holdco) and except as provided in Section 7.2(h) or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Transferred Assets shall include any monies, contracts or other funds relating to the participation of any Transferred System Employees in any Time Warner Cable Benefit Plan, in each case to the extent such amounts, monies, contracts or other funds are reflected in the Closing Net Liabilities Amount used in calculating the Final Adjustment Amount.

(v) Subject to any required notification, as of the consummation of the Holdco Transaction, the parties agree to take such action, and to cause their Affiliates to take such action, as is necessary to cause Holdco to succeed to the rights and obligations of Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates (other than Holdco), including its rights and obligations with respect to any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), under any collective bargaining agreement (if any so exist) to the extent such agreement covers Transferred System Employees.

(d) Participation in Benefit Plans. With respect to Comcast Transferred System Employees, compensation and service of such employees with Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates prior to Closing shall be recognized under all applicable Comcast Benefit Plans to the extent so recognized under the corresponding Time Warner Cable Benefit Plans prior to Closing, except to the extent that duplication of benefits would result or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

The cost of any filing fees in connection with any required filing pursuant to the HSR Act shall be borne equally by Comcast Subsidiary and Time Warner Cable.

(a) Unless and until Closing occurs, any non-public information that any party may obtain from the other in connection with this Agreement shall be confidential, and following Closing, each party shall keep confidential any non-public information that such party may receive from another party in connection with this Agreement unrelated to the Transferred Systems or Transferred Assets and Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates shall keep confidential any non-public information in their possession related to the Transferred Systems and Transferred Assets (any such information that a party is required to keep confidential pursuant to this sentence shall be referred to as “Confidential Information”). No party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person (other than its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers and employees, and representatives of its advisers and lenders, in each case, whose knowledge thereof is necessary in order to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, in which case such party shall be responsible for any breach by any such Person) or use such information to the detriment of the other; provided, that (i) such party may use and disclose any such information once it has been publicly disclosed (other than by such party in breach of its obligations under this Section) or which, to its knowledge, rightfully has come into the possession of such party (other than from the other party), and (ii) to the extent that such party may, in the reasonable judgment of its counsel, be compelled by Legal Requirements to disclose any of such information, such party may disclose such information if it has used commercially reasonable efforts, and has afforded the other the opportunity, to obtain an appropriate protective order, or other satisfactory assurance of confidential treatment, for the information compelled to be disclosed and (iii) such party may use and disclose such information to the extent reasonably necessary to permit such party to file Tax Returns, defend any dispute relating to Taxes, claim any Refund or otherwise provide information to a Governmental Authority in connection with any other Tax Proceeding and (iv) such party may use and disclose such information to the extent necessary to comply with Legal Requirements or any periodic reporting obligations such party may have by virtue of such party or any of its Affiliates having securities listed on a national securities exchange or quotation system. In the event of termination of this Agreement, (A) the obligation set forth in this Section shall continue for a period of two years after such termination, and (B) each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to the other, and to retain no copies of, any documents, work papers or other materials obtained by such party or on its behalf from the other, whether so obtained before or after the execution of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,

Comcast Trust may disclose any Confidential Information to Comcast Subsidiary and its Affiliates and their respective representatives.

(b) Each of the parties hereto shall consult with and cooperate with the others with respect to the content and timing of all press releases and other public announcements, and any oral or written statements to Transferred System Employees concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as required by applicable Legal Requirements or by any national securities exchange or quotation system, no party hereto shall make any such release, announcement or statement without the prior written consent and approval of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The party receiving a request for a consent shall respond promptly to any such request for consent and approval.

(c) At Comcast's request, which shall be provided to TWC no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expected Closing Date (such date, the “Diligence Request Date”), TWC shall provide Comcast with (i) the most recent consolidated balance sheet for the TWC Affiliated Group (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) as of the Diligence Request Date, (ii) a reasonable good faith estimate of the aggregate number of Individual Subscribers of such TWC Affiliated Group (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) as of the Diligence Request Date; (iii) summary financial information with respect to any nonconsolidated investments of any member of the TWC Affiliated Group (as defined in the Tax Matters Agreement) as of the Diligence Request Date; and (iv) a reasonable good faith estimate of the aggregate number of Individual Subscribers of the Transferred Systems as of the Diligence Request Date.

Section 7.5 Retransmission Consent Agreements. On or prior to the date which is 45 days prior to the anticipated date of Closing, Time Warner Cable shall deliver to Comcast Trust and Comcast Subsidiary a list of all Local Retransmission Consent Agreements then in effect with respect to the Transferred Systems. By written notice delivered to Time Warner Cable at least 30 days prior to Closing, Comcast Subsidiary may, in its sole discretion, elect to have Holdco assume one or more of the Local Retransmission Consent Agreements, in which case Time Warner Cable shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required Authorizations for such assumption. The foregoing shall be subject to Section 2.1(d) to the extent any related Authorization is not obtained. Any Local Retransmission Consent Agreements which Comcast Subsidiary elects to have Holdco assume pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be included in the Transferred Assets. To the extent the provisions of this Section 7.5 conflict with any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7.5 shall control.

Section 7.6 Title Insurance Commitments. Time Warner Cable shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Comcast Subsidiary, within 90 days from the date Time Warner Cable receives the Title Commitment Notice, or, in the case of any Survey, such longer period of time as is necessary to obtain such Survey with the exercise of reasonable diligence, (a) commitments to issue to Holdco title insurance policies (“Title Commitments”) in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Comcast

Subsidiary issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company (a “Title Company”) and containing, to the extent available, legible photocopies of all recorded items described as exceptions therein, committing to insure, subject only to Permitted Liens, fee or a valid leasehold title, as applicable, in Holdco to each parcel of Owned Property or Leased Property so designated by notice (the “Title Commitment Notice”) delivered to Time Warner Cable within 30 days from the date of this Agreement by ALTA extended coverage owner’s or leasehold policies of title insurance, or, if ALTA policies are not obtainable in any state, policies in another form reasonably satisfactory to Comcast Subsidiary, and (b) surveys of each parcel of Owned Property or Leased Property so designated in the Title Commitment Notice (“Surveys”), in such form as is reasonably necessary to obtain the title insurance to be issued pursuant to the related Title Commitments with the standard printed exceptions relating to survey matters deleted, certified to Holdco, Comcast Subsidiary and to the Title Company with respect to that Owned Property or Leased Property, provided that Time Warner Cable’s inability to provide Title Commitments satisfying the foregoing requirements shall not constitute a breach of the foregoing covenant if the Liens, or other matters relating to title, giving rise to such inability would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. In no event shall Time Warner Cable be obligated to procure a Title Commitment for any Leased Property with respect to which the Lease or a memorandum thereof has not been recorded in the land records of the county in which the Leased Property is located. The cost to obtain such Title Commitments and Surveys and other documents required by the Title Company to issue such policies and Surveys, as well as the cost of title policy premiums, shall be borne by Comcast Subsidiary, except for attorney’s fees and other incidental costs incurred by Time Warner Cable in connection with providing such Title Commitments and Surveys and otherwise complying with this Section 7.6. If Comcast Subsidiary notifies Time Warner Cable within 30 days following delivery to Comcast Subsidiary of both the Title Commitments and the Surveys of any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien or a Lien set forth in Schedule 6.4(a)) which prevents access to or which could prevent or impede in any material way the use or operation of any parcel of Owned Property or Leased Property for which a Title Commitment is required pursuant to this Section 7.6 for the purposes for which it is currently used or operated by Time Warner Cable (each a “Title Defect”), Time Warner Cable shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts, including paying attorney’s fees and other incidental costs associated with any such efforts, to (i) remove such Title Defect, or (ii) cause the Title Company to commit to insure over each such Title Defect prior to Closing at customary premium rates without additional premium or charge. If such Title Defect cannot be removed prior to Closing or the Title Company does not commit to insure over such Title Defect prior to Closing, Comcast Subsidiary and Time Warner Cable shall enter into a written agreement containing Time Warner Cable’s commitment to use commercially reasonable efforts for 180 days following Closing to remedy the Title Defect following Closing on terms satisfactory to Comcast Subsidiary, in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates be required to remove any Liens encumbering the Owned Property and Leased Property except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.6 or to expend any moneys (other than attorneys’ fees and other incidental costs as hereinabove set forth) or to incur any obligation in order to remove or

cause the insuring over of any Liens (other than pursuant to customary short-form affidavits of title which do not in any event require Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates to make representations or incur obligations more onerous than those made or set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and customary gap indemnities covering Time Warner Cable’s or its Affiliates’ acts for the period between Closing and the recording of the applicable deed or assignment of lease with respect to such Owned Property or Leased Property), and in no event shall Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates be obligated to commence any Litigation to cause any Title Defects to be removed or insured over, and, without limiting the other provisions of this Section 7.6, in no event shall Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates be required to give a non-imputation affidavit to the title insurance company.

A true and complete copy of any such Post-Closing Consent shall be delivered to each of Comcast Subsidiary and Holdco promptly after it has been obtained.

Section 7.9 Transitional Services. Time Warner Cable shall provide to Holdco, upon written request from Comcast Subsidiary received by Time Warner Cable no later than 30 days prior to the anticipated date of Closing, such subscriber billing, high speed data, telephony and other services as may be reasonably requested by Comcast Subsidiary in connection with the operation of the Transferred Systems for a commercially reasonable period following Closing to be mutually agreed upon in good faith by Time Warner Cable and Comcast Subsidiary to allow for transition of existing services or establishment of replacement services (“Transitional Services”). Holdco shall promptly reimburse Time Warner Cable for the actual out-of-pocket cost to Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates of providing any Transitional Services. All other terms and conditions for the provision of Transitional Services shall be reasonably satisfactory to both Comcast Subsidiary and Time Warner Cable and subject to applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 7.10 Cooperation Upon Inquiries as to Rates. Comcast Subsidiary and Time Warner Cable agree as follows:

(a) For a period of 12 months after Closing, Time Warner Cable shall cooperate with and assist Holdco by providing, upon request, all information in Time Warner Cable’s or its Affiliates’ possession (and not previously provided to Comcast Subsidiary or Holdco) relating directly to the rates set forth in Schedule 6.8 or the then current rates with respect to any Transferred System, if different from the rates set forth on such Schedule, or the rates on any FCC Form 393,

1200, 1205, 1210, 1220, 1235, or 1240 that Holdco may reasonably require to justify such rates in response to any inquiry, order or requirement of any Governmental Authority or any Rate Regulatory Matter instituted before or after the date of this Agreement.

(b) If at any time prior to Closing, any Governmental Authority commences a Rate Regulatory Matter with respect to a Transferred System, Time Warner Cable shall (i) promptly notify Comcast Subsidiary, and (ii) keep Comcast Subsidiary informed as to the progress of any such proceeding. Without the prior written consent of Comcast Subsidiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Time Warner Cable shall not settle any such Rate Regulatory Matter, either before or after Closing, if (A) Holdco or any of its Affiliates would have any obligation under such settlement, or (B) such settlement would reduce the rates permitted to be charged by Holdco or any of its Affiliates after Closing below the rates set forth on Schedule 6.8 or otherwise then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after Closing, Holdco shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume control of the defense of any pending Rate Regulatory Matter, to the extent, and only to the extent, that it relates to a Transferred System. If Holdco elects to assume control of the defense of any such Rate Regulatory Matter, Time Warner Cable shall have the right to participate, at its expense, in the defense of such matter. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Article 11 of this Agreement, Holdco may settle any such Rate Regulatory Matter only upon Time Warner Cable’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if Time Warner Cable would have any obligation with respect to such settlement in accordance with Article 11 hereof or otherwise.

(c) If at any time after Closing, any Governmental Authority commences a Rate Regulatory Matter with respect to a Transferred System involving any time period prior to Closing, Comcast Subsidiary shall cause Holdco to (i) promptly notify Time Warner Cable, and (ii) keep Time Warner Cable informed as to the progress of any such proceeding. Time Warner Cable shall have the right to participate, at its expense, in the defense of such matter. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Article 11 of this Agreement, Holdco may settle any such Rate Regulatory Matter only upon Time Warner Cable’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if Time Warner Cable would have any obligation with respect to such settlement in accordance with Article 11 hereof or otherwise.

(d) For purposes hereof, “Rate Regulatory Matter” means any proceeding or investigation with respect to a Transferred System arising out of or related to the Cable Act (other than those affecting the cable television industry generally) dealing with, limiting or affecting the rates which can be charged by such Transferred System for programming, equipment, installation, service or otherwise.

(e) If Time Warner Cable or any of its Affiliates is required following Closing pursuant to any Rate Regulatory Matter or any other Legal Requirement, settlement or otherwise to reimburse any Subscribers for any Subscriber

payments previously made by it, including fees for cable television service, late fees and similar payments, Comcast Subsidiary shall cause Holdco, at Time Warner Cable’s request, to make such reimbursement through Holdco’s billing system on terms specified by Comcast Subsidiary. In such event, Time Warner Cable shall promptly pay to Holdco all such payments made by Holdco through its billing system. Without limiting the foregoing, Comcast Subsidiary shall cause Holdco to provide to Time Warner Cable all information in its possession that is reasonably required by Time Warner Cable in connection with such reimbursement.

Section 7.11 Updated Schedules.

(a) On one or more occasions, Time Warner Cable may, at least five Business Days prior to Closing: (i) supplement Schedule 6.5(a) to reflect leases, franchises, licenses, authorizations, consents, permits, Contracts or commitments which were entered into or obtained between the date hereof and the Closing Date not in violation of the terms of this Agreement and are required to be disclosed in Schedule 6.5(a) in order for the representation and warranty contained in Section 6.5(a) to be true, complete and correct or (ii) supplement any other Schedule to this Agreement (other than the Schedules to any of Section 6.1, 6.2, 6.15 or 6.18) or to the Tax Matters Agreement, with additional information to the extent that it reflects events, acts or omissions that first occurred between the date hereof and the Closing Date and that are not prohibited by this Agreement to be taken, and that would have been required to be included in one or more Schedules to this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement in order for the representations and warranties of Time Warner Cable contained in this Agreement or in the Tax Matters Agreement to be true, complete and correct as of the Closing. Any such supplement to a Schedule pursuant to clause (i) above shall specifically identify each license, Contract or other item being added to Schedule 6.5(a) and any supplement pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be made with reasonable specificity and shall identify, to Time Warner Cable’s knowledge, the potential Liability associated with the relevant action, condition or event. For purposes of determining whether there is any liability on the part of Time Warner Cable following Closing for breaches of its representations and warranties under this Agreement, the Schedules to this Agreement shall be deemed to include only (a) the information contained therein on the date hereof and (b) information added to such Schedules by written supplements to this Agreement delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.11; provided, that for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 8.1(b), any update to the Schedules pursuant to clause (b) of this sentence shall be disregarded.

(b) In addition, if after the date that is the fifth Business Day prior to Closing, but before the Closing, Time Warner Cable first becomes aware of any event, act, occurrence or omission which, if known on the fifth day prior to Closing would have been permitted to be included in a supplement pursuant to clause (ii) of the foregoing paragraph, then Time Warner Cable may make such supplement as provided above (in which case such supplement shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to clause (ii) of the foregoing paragraph); provided that Time Warner Cable may only utilize the rights in this paragraph on one occasion and, if Comcast Subsidiary elects,

upon receipt of any such supplement pursuant to this paragraph, the date of Closing may be delayed until the end of the next succeeding month.

elections, accounting methods, conventions, assumptions and principles of taxation on the most recently filed Applicable Tax Returns of Holdco or a previous owner of the Transferred Systems to the extent relevant to such Transferred Systems.

Time Warner Cable shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Comcast Subsidiary and its consultants with respect to the conduct of such assessments or sampling. Any assessment performed pursuant to this Section 7.16 shall to the fullest extent practicable be designed so as not to disrupt the business and operations of the Transferred Systems.

the Closing had not occurred; provided that to the extent Time Warner Cable takes any action with respect to its umbrella insurance policies that similarly effects all of the Time Warner Cable Retained Cable Systems but results in such insurance coverage no longer being available (other than a change denying coverage based upon a Person ceasing to be an Affiliate of Time Warner Cable), Time Warner Cable shall not be deemed to have breached this Section 7.19 and shall have no liability with respect thereto. Time Warner Cable will give Comcast Subsidiary written notice of the taking of any such action if done during the first 12 months after the Closing prior to or as soon as practicable thereafter.

(b) If, after the Closing Date but prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, Comcast believes that there has been a change in Tax Law after the date hereof and that by reason of such change in Tax Law (x) the TWC Redemption should not qualify as a tax-free distribution governed by Section 355 of the Code, and (y) the TWC Redemption should constitute a “qualified stock purchase” within the meaning of Section 338(d)(3) of the Code (a “QSP”) (any such conclusion, a “Determination”), Comcast shall provide written notice to Time Warner Cable of such Determination. If Time Warner Cable agrees with the Determination, Time Warner Cable shall provide Comcast with written notice of its agreement within 10 days (the “Determination Deadline”) of receiving notice of the Determination (such agreement shall constitute a “Joint Determination”). If there has been no Joint Determination by the Determination Deadline, Time Warner Cable and Comcast agree jointly to appoint a law firm that is nationally recognized in matters relating to federal income taxation (any such law firm, a “Third Party Firm”) within 7 Business Days of the Determination Deadline. If Time Warner Cable and Comcast cannot agree on the appointment of a Third Party Firm in accordance with the previous sentence, such parties shall request that the

President of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York appoint, within 7 days, a Third Party Firm other than a law firm that is regularly employed by either Time Warner Cable or Comcast or any of their respective Affiliates. The Third Party Firm shall be requested to deliver, within 21 days of its appointment, a letter setting forth whether, by reason of the change in Tax Law referred to above, it is its opinion that, (I) the TWC Redemption should not qualify as a tax-free distribution governed by Section 355 of the Code, and (II) the TWC Redemption should constitute a QSP (any affirmative opinion by such Third Party Firm that the items described in (I) and (II) of this sentence have been satisfied, an “Affirmative Third Party Firm Determination”. The fees and expenses of the Third Party Firm shall be borne equally by Time Warner Cable and Comcast.

(c) If, at any time prior to the nine month anniversary of the Closing Date, there shall have been a Joint Determination or an Affirmative Third Party Determination, the parties hereby agree, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, for all Income Tax Purposes (unless required by subsequent change in applicable Tax Law or as a result of a good faith resolution of a contest), (i) not to treat the TWC Redemption as a tax-free distribution governed by Section 355 of the Code, (ii) to treat the TWC Redemption as a QSP, and (iii) that any 338(h)(10) Election shall be filed without regard to the protective election described in the proviso to Section 7.23(a).

with respect to confidentiality so long as, with respect to confidentiality, to the extent specifically requested by Comcast Subsidiary or Comcast Trust, Time Warner Cable has made commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver regarding the possible disclosure from the third party to whom an obligation of confidentiality is owed or (D) any programming records; it being understood that Comcast Subsidiary and Comcast Trust shall conduct any environmental sampling solely in the manner contemplated by Section 7.16. All requests made pursuant to this Section 7.24 shall be directed to an executive officer of Time Warner Cable or such Person or Persons as may be designated by Time Warner Cable. All information received pursuant to this Section 7.24 shall, prior to the Closing, be governed by Section 7.4(a) and, to the extent applicable, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Neither Comcast Parent nor Time Warner Cable shall, or shall permit any of their respective Affiliates to, terminate the Adelphia Agreement to which it or its Affiliate is party by mutual agreement with Adelphia without the other party’s consent. Neither Time Warner Cable nor Comcast Parent shall, or shall permit any of their respective Affiliates to, without the consent of the other party, amend or grant any waiver under any Adelphia Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (as defined in each Adelphia Agreement) to which such party or its Affiliate is a party (and, in the case of the TWC Adelphia Agreement, including the terms and conditions of the Interim Steps), in each case in a manner that (i) would reasonably be expected to delay the satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 8.1(a) or 8.2(a) or alter the rights or obligations of the parties hereunder or (ii) in the case of the TWC Adelphia Agreement, would alter the terms and conditions applicable to the Interim Steps in a manner that could reasonably be expected to be adverse to Comcast Trust, Comcast Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates.

Section 7.26 Ordinary Course from Closing to Closing Time. During the time between the Closing and the Closing Time, Comcast Subsidiary and its Affiliates shall operate or cause to be operated the Transferred Systems and Transferred Assets in the usual, regular and ordinary course and shall not take any action for the purpose of changing the calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount.

Section 11.3 Procedure for Certain Indemnified Claims. Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Litigation with respect to any matter referred to in Sections 11.1 or 11.2 or the assertion by any Governmental Authority of a claim of noncompliance under any Franchise relating, in whole or in part, to any pre-Closing period (a “Franchise Matter”), the Indemnitee shall give written notice thereof to the party from whom indemnification is sought pursuant hereto (the “Indemnitor”) and thereafter shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, that failure of the Indemnitee to give the Indemnitor notice and keep it reasonably informed as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall prejudice any defense or claim available to the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume the

defense of any such Litigation or Franchise Matter with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, at the Indemnitor’s sole expense; provided that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Litigation or Franchise Matter if (i) the Litigation or Franchise Matter relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Litigation or Franchise Matter seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee; or (iii) the Indemnitor has failed to defend or is failing to defend in good faith the Litigation or Franchise Matter. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Litigation or Franchise Matter, (i) it shall not settle the Litigation or Franchise Matter unless the settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a release of the Indemnitee, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, from all liability with respect to such Litigation or Franchise Matter and (ii) it shall indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement or judgment of such claim and may not claim that it does not have an indemnification obligation with respect thereto. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of any Litigation or Franchise Matter, the Indemnitee may defend against or settle such claim in such manner and on such terms as it in good xxxxx xxxxx appropriate and shall be entitled to indemnification in respect thereof in accordance with Section 11.1 or 11.2, as applicable. If the Indemnitor is not entitled to assume the defense or continue to control the defense of any Litigation or Franchise Matter as a result of the proviso in the second sentence of this Section 11.3, the Indemnitee shall not settle the Litigation or Franchise Matter in question if the Indemnitor shall have any obligation as a result of such settlement (whether monetary or otherwise) unless such settlement is consented to in writing by the Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In no event shall the Indemnitee settle any Litigation or Franchise Matter for which the defense thereof is controlled by the Indemnitor absent the consent of the Indemnitor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Litigation or Franchise Matter and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 11.4 Determination of Indemnification Amounts and Related Matters.

(a) Time Warner Cable shall have no liability under Section 11.1(a) unless the aggregate amount of Losses otherwise subject to its indemnification obligations thereunder exceeds $20 million (the “Threshold Damage Requirement”), in which case Time Warner Cable shall be liable for the full amount of such Losses including the Losses incurred in reaching the Threshold Damage Requirement; provided, that for purposes of this subsection, the Threshold Damage Requirement shall not apply to any Losses resulting from or arising out of (i) the failure by Time Warner Cable to pay any copyright payments, including interest and penalties thereon, when due or any other breach of Time Warner Cable’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements with respect to copyright payments contained in this Agreement, and (ii) breaches of the representations and warranties in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4(a), 6.13,

6.15 and 6.18. The maximum liability of Time Warner Cable under Section 11.1(a) shall not exceed $200 million (the “Cap”); provided, that the Cap shall not apply to breaches of the representations and warranties in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4(a)(i), 6.13, 6.15 and 6.18.

(b) Holdco shall have no liability under Section 11.2(a) unless the aggregate amount of Losses otherwise subject to its indemnification obligations thereunder exceeds the Threshold Damage Requirement, in which case Holdco shall be liable for the full amount of such Losses including the Losses incurred in reaching the Threshold Damage Requirement; provided, that for purposes of this subsection, the Threshold Damage Requirement shall not apply to any Losses resulting from or arising out of breaches of the representations and warranties in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, or 5.5. The maximum liability of Holdco in the aggregate under Section 11.2(a) shall not exceed the Cap; provided, that the Cap shall not apply to breaches of the representations and warranties in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, or 5.5.

(c) Amounts payable by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee in respect of any Losses under Sections 11.1 or 11.2 shall be payable by the Indemnitor as incurred by the Indemnitee, and shall bear interest at the Base Interest Rate plus 2% from the date the Losses for which indemnification is sought were incurred by the Indemnitee until the date of payment of indemnification by the Indemnitor.

(d) If the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Loss for which indemnification is sought under Section 11.1(a) also resulted in a Loss to the Time Warner Cable Retained Cable Systems, the Loss for which indemnification is sought under Section 11.1(a) shall only be available (subject to the further limitations in Section 11.4(a)) to the extent such Loss is greater than the proportionate Loss suffered by the Time Warner Cable Retained Cable Systems and the Transferred Systems, where proportionality is based on the percentage that the Redemption Securities represent to the total number of outstanding shares of common stock of Time Warner Cable, in each case immediately prior to giving effect to the Closing; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent the Loss for which indemnification is sought under Section 11.1(a) results from or arises out of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4(a), 6.5(a), 6.6 (the penultimate sentence only), 6.10 (the first sentence only), 6.12(c), 6.13, 6.15 and 6.18. By way of example only, if the Redemption Securities represent 20% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock of Time Warner Cable (immediately prior to giving effect to the Closing) and the Losses suffered by the Transferred Systems arising out of certain facts was $X and the Losses suffered by the Time Warner Cable Retained Cable Systems arising out of those same facts was $Y, then indemnification would be available under Section 11.1(a) but only in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) $X over (ii) the sum of $X and $Y multiplied by 0.2 (and subject to the further limitations contained in Section 11.4(a)).

(e) The Indemnitor shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to any Losses to the extent of any proceeds received in

connection with any such Losses by the Indemnitee under any insurance policy of the Indemnitee in effect on the Closing Date (including under any rights under any insurance policies or proceeds that are part of the Transferred Assets). The Indemnitee will use commercially reasonable efforts to claim and recover under such insurance policies.

(f) In determining the amount of any Losses in connection with any inaccuracy of a representation and warranty (but not for purposes of determining whether any such inaccuracy has occurred), any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier in such representation or warranty will be disregarded.

(g) Comcast Subsidiary shall have the right to enforce (on behalf and for the benefit of Holdco and any other Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.1) the right to indemnification under Section 11.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the extent that any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.1 is or becomes a shareholder of Time Warner Cable or Time Warner or a limited partner of TWE, indemnification hereunder shall not include Losses suffered by such Indemnitee (or its Affiliates) in its shareholder or limited partner capacity by reason of (i) the indemnities being provided by Time Warner Cable hereunder or (ii) Losses suffered in such capacity in respect of any Excluded Assets, Excluded Liabilities or Holdco Indemnified Liabilities.

Section 11.5 Time and Manner of Certain Claims. The representations and warranties of Comcast Trust, Comcast Subsidiary, Time Warner Cable or any Transferring Person in this Agreement and any Transaction Document to which such Person is a party shall survive Closing for a period of 1 year; provided, that the representations in Sections 5.8 and 6.24 shall not survive Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) the liability of the parties shall extend beyond the 1-year period following Closing with respect to any claim which has been asserted in a bona fide written notice before the expiration of such 1-year period specifying in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances giving rise to such right; and (b) (i) the representations and warranties of the parties in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4(a)(i), 6.13, 6.15 and 6.18 shall survive Closing and shall continue in full force and effect without limitation and (ii) the representations and warranties of Time Warner Cable in Sections 6.22 and 6.23 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

Section 11.6 Other Indemnification. The provisions of Sections 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 shall be applicable to any claim for indemnification made under any other provision of this Agreement, and all references in Sections 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 to Sections 11.1 and 11.2 shall be deemed to be references to such other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Exclusivity. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document and except for claims against a party for breach of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, each party waives any rights and claims it may have against the other parties to this Agreement, whether in law

or in equity, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The rights and claims waived by each party include claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. After Closing, Article 11 and the Transaction Documents shall provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, other than any claims sounding in fraud.

Comcast, Comcast Subsidiary and Comcast Trust agree, on behalf of their self and each of the other Comcast Trust Releasing Parties, that they will not assert any claims against any Time Warner Cable Released Party with respect to matters covered by the foregoing release.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 11.8(a) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in each case in accordance with its terms.

Section 11.9 Indemnification for Income Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 11.1 through 11.8 shall not apply to any Liability for Income Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, rights under this Agreement shall provide the exclusive remedies for any breach of the representations and warranties provided in Section 5.8 and Section 6.24 hereof.

Section 11.10 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.

(a) For all Tax purposes (unless required by a change in applicable Tax law or a good faith resolution of a contest) the parties hereto agree to treat and to cause their respective affiliates to treat any payment (i) to Holdco by Time Warner Cable pursuant to an indemnification, reimbursement or refund obligation provided for in this Agreement (a “Time Warner Cable Indemnification Payment”), or (ii) to Time Warner Cable by Holdco pursuant to an indemnification, reimbursement or refund obligation provided for in this Agreement (a “Holdco Indemnification Payment” and collectively with any Time Warner Cable Indemnification Payment, an “Indemnification Payment”) as (x) with respect to a Time Warner Cable Indemnification Payment, a contribution by Time Warner Cable to Holdco occurring immediately prior to the Closing, and (y) with respect to a Holdco Indemnification Payment, an adjustment to the Cash Amount transferred by Time Warner Cable to Holdco pursuant to the Holdco Transaction occurring immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.10(a) above, any Indemnification Payments that represent interest payable under Section 11.4(c) hereof shall be treated for all Tax purposes (unless required by a change in applicable Tax law or a good faith resolution of a contest), as (i) deductible to the Indemnitor and (ii) taxable to the Indemnitee.

(c) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement shall be (i) increased to take account of net Tax cost, if any, incurred by the Indemnitee arising from the receipt or accrual of an Indemnification Payment hereunder, (grossed up for such increase) and (ii) reduced to take account of the net Tax benefit, if any, realized by the Indemnitee arising from incurring or paying such indemnified amount. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or benefit, (i) the term Indemnitee shall be deemed to include any member of any Affiliated Group of which the Indemnitee is a member, and (ii) the Indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt or accrual of any Indemnification Payment hereunder or incurring or paying any indemnified amount hereunder. Any Indemnification Payment hereunder shall initially be made without regard to this Section 11.10(c) and shall be increased or reduced to reflect any such net Tax cost (including gross-up) or net Tax benefit only after the Indemnitee has Actually Realized such cost or benefit. The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment with respect to the Indemnitee’s liability for Taxes, and payments between the parties hereto to reflect such adjustment shall be made. Notwithstanding the above, this Section 11.10(c) shall not apply to interest as described in Section 11.10(b).

Section 11.11 Guaranteed Obligations of Comcast.

(a) From and after the Closing, Comcast hereby agrees to fully and unconditionally guarantee to Time Warner Cable the due and punctual performance, compliance and payment of Holdco, Comcast Trust and Comcast

Subsidiary (each, a “Guaranteed Party” and collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”) of each and every covenant, term, condition or other obligation to be performed or complied with by any such party for the benefit of Time Warner Cable (or any Affiliate thereof or any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11.2) under this Agreement and any Transaction Document to which any Guaranteed Party is a party delivered in connection herewith when, and to the extent that, any of the same shall become due and payable or performance of or compliance with any of the same shall be required (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(b) Comcast hereby acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee constitutes an absolute, present, primary, continuing and unconditional guaranty of performance, compliance and payment by each of the Guaranteed Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations when due under this Agreement and any Transaction Document to which any Guaranteed Party is a party delivered in connection herewith and not of collection only and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce such performance, compliance or payment by a Guaranteed Party or upon any other condition or contingency. Comcast hereby waives any right to require a proceeding first against any of the Guaranteed Parties.

(c) The obligations of Comcast under this guarantee shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than by indefeasible payment or performance in full of any of the Guaranteed Obligations) and shall not be subject to (i) any discharge of any of the Guaranteed Parties from any of the Guaranteed Obligations in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding (except by indefeasible payment or performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) or (ii) any other circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute an equitable or legal discharge of Comcast as guarantor under this Section 11.11.

(d) Comcast shall cause any transferee of or successor to all or substantially all of the assets of Comcast to assume Comcast’s obligations under this Section 11.11.

ARTICLE 12
Miscellaneous Provisions

Section 12.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3.4, 7.3 or 12.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties shall pay its own expenses and the fees and expenses of its counsel, accountants, and other experts in connection with this Agreement.

Section 12.2 Attorneys’ Fees. If any Litigation between the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be resolved or adjudicated by a Judgment of any court, the party prevailing under such Judgment (as determined by the trier of fact based on all relevant facts, including, but not limited to, amounts demanded or sought in such litigation, amounts, if any, offered in settlement of such litigation and

amounts, if any, awarded in such litigation) shall be entitled, as part of such Judgment, to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of litigation.

Section 12.3 Waivers. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party hereto, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking the action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or in any Transaction Document. The waiver by any party hereto of any condition or of a breach of another provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be in writing and shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other condition or subsequent breach.

Section 12.5 Entire Agreement; Prior Representations; Amendments. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreements (subject to the last sentence of this Section 12.5) and the Transaction Documents executed concurrent herewith embody the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior representations, agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any representations which may have been made by either party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation by the other party with respect to such transactions, the Transferred Assets, or the Transferred Systems except those contained in this Agreement, the Schedules or the Exhibits hereto. This Agreement may not be modified orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party or parties against whom any waiver, change, amendment, modification or discharge may be sought to be enforced. The (i) Confidentiality Agreements, as each relates to any obligation to keep confidential information regarding the Transferred Assets, the Transferred Systems and/or the Assumed Liabilities are hereby terminated, and (ii) Parent Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2003, among Time Warner Cable, Time Warner and Comcast Trust, shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of any party thereto, terminate upon consummation of the Closing.

Section 12.6 Specific Performance. The parties recognize that their rights under this Agreement are unique and, accordingly, the parties shall, in addition to such other remedies as may be available to any of them at law or in equity, have the right to enforce their rights hereunder by actions for injunctive relief and specific performance to the extent permitted by applicable law so long as the party seeking such relief is prepared to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. The parties waive any requirement for security or the posting of any bond or other surety in connection with any temporary or permanent award or injunctive, mandatory or other equitable relief.

Section 12.7 Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby may be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any other New York State court sitting in New York City, and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 12.4 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 12.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 12.9 Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or delegate any of its duties hereunder to any other Person without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Comcast Subsidiary may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) to any Affiliate of Comcast Subsidiary, upon written notice to Time Warner Cable. For purposes of this Section, any change in control of Comcast, Comcast Trust, Comcast Subsidiary or Time Warner Cable shall not constitute an assignment by it of this Agreement. In no event shall any assignment of rights or delegation of obligations relieve any party of its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.10 Headings and Schedules. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Reference to Schedules shall, unless otherwise indicated, refer to the Schedules attached to this Agreement, which shall be incorporated in and constitute a part of this Agreement by such reference.

Section 12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which, when executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

100

Section 12.12 GOVERNING LAW. THE VALIDITY, PERFORMANCE, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OF SUCH STATE.

Section 12.13 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining rights of the Person intended to be benefited by such provision or any other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.14 Third Parties; Joint Ventures. This Agreement constitutes an agreement solely among the parties hereto, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, is not intended to and shall not confer any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities, legal or equitable, including any right of employment, on any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors, or assigns, or otherwise constitute any Person a third party beneficiary under or by reason of this Agreement except that Time Warner shall be an express third party beneficiary of Section 2.3. For the avoidance of doubt, no Person other than a party hereto shall have any right to enforce Section 3.1 or any other provision of this Agreement to the extent relating thereto. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall constitute the parties hereto partners or participants in a joint venture.

Section 12.15 Construction. This Agreement has been negotiated by Comcast Trust, Comcast Subsidiary and Time Warner Cable and their respective legal counsel, and legal or equitable principles that might require the construction of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement against the party drafting this Agreement shall not apply in any construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.16 Risk of Loss; Governmental Taking.

(a) Time Warner Cable shall bear the risk of any loss or damage to the Transferred Assets resulting from fire, theft or other casualty (except reasonable wear and tear) at all times prior to the Closing. In the event any such loss or damage occurs, Time Warner Cable shall (at its expense) use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace or restore such lost or damaged property as soon as practicable and in any event prior to Closing (or, if such damaged property is not replaced or restored prior to Closing, Time Warner shall indemnify Holdco for any Losses arising out of such unrepaired damage or unrestored property). If any loss or damage is equal to or greater than $100 million and is sufficiently substantial so as to preclude and prevent resumption of normal operations of any material portion of a Transferred System by the Outside Closing Date, Time Warner Cable shall, to the extent reasonably practical, immediately notify Comcast Subsidiary in writing of that fact (which notice shall, to the extent reasonably practical, specify with reasonable particularity the loss or damage incurred, the cause thereof if known or reasonably

101

ascertainable, and the insurance coverage related thereto), and Comcast Subsidiary, at any time within 10 days after receipt of such notice, may elect by written notice to Time Warner Cable, to either (i) waive such defect and proceed toward consummation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (provided that any such waiver shall also be deemed to be a waiver of any right to indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 12.16(a) or pursuant to Section 11.1 for any breach of any (x) representation or warranty of Time Warner Cable set forth in Article 6 resulting from any such loss or damage or (y) covenant hereunder to the extent that compliance therewith is frustrated or made commercially impracticable as a result of such loss or damage) or (ii) terminate this Agreement, subject to Section 10.2. If Comcast Subsidiary elects to so terminate this Agreement, Time Warner Cable shall be discharged of any and all obligations hereunder, subject to Section 10.2. If Comcast Subsidiary elects to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such loss or damage and does so, there shall be no adjustment in the consideration payable to or by Transferee on account of such loss or damage, but all insurance proceeds received or receivable by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates (determined on an effective after-tax basis as if TWE and TWE-A/N are, in each case, instead of being partnerships, stand-alone corporations) as a result of the occurrence of the event resulting in such loss or damage (to the extent not already expended by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates to restore or replace the lost or damaged Transferred Assets), except for any proceeds from business interruption insurance relating to the loss of revenue for any period through and including the Closing Date, shall be delivered by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates to Holdco, or the rights to such proceeds shall be assigned by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates to Holdco if not yet received by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates. Time Warner Cable shall pay any deductible required and/or the self-insured portion of any such loss with respect to all such insurance proceeds payable under any insurance policy held by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates. Any amounts received or receivable hereunder shall not be included in the Closing Net Liabilities Amount.

(b) If, prior to Closing, any material part of or interest in the Transferred Assets is taken or condemned as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or if a Governmental Authority having such power informs Time Warner Cable or any of its Affiliates that it intends to condemn or take all or any of the Transferred Assets (such event being called, in either case, a “Taking”), then Comcast Subsidiary may terminate this Agreement. If Comcast Subsidiary does not elect to terminate this Agreement, (i) Comcast Subsidiary shall have the sole right, in the name of Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates, if Comcast Subsidiary so elects, to negotiate for, claim, contest and, subject to the Closing occurring, have Holdco receive all damages with respect to the Taking, (ii) Time Warner Cable shall be relieved of its obligation to convey to Holdco the Transferred Assets or interests that are the subject of the Taking if the Taking has occurred (but, subject to the Closing occurring, shall convey to Holdco any interest therein still held by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates and any replacement property acquired by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates), (iii) at Closing, Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates shall assign to Holdco all of Time Warner Cable’s and its Affiliates’ rights to all payments received or receivable by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates (determined on an effective after-tax basis as if TWE and

102

TWE-A/N are, in each case, instead of being partnerships, stand-alone corporations), with respect to such Taking and shall pay to Holdco all such payments previously paid to Time Warner Cable or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Taking (to the extent not already expended by Time Warner Cable or its Affiliates to restore or replace the taken Assets), and (iv) following Closing, Time Warner Cable and its Affiliates shall give Holdco such further assurances of such rights and assignment with respect to the Taking as Holdco may from time to time reasonably request. Any amounts received or receivable hereunder shall not be included in the Closing Net Liabilities Amount.

Section 12.17 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. For purposes of this Agreement, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not, with regard to obtaining any consent, approval or authorization, be deemed to require a party to undertake extraordinary measures, including the initiation or prosecution of legal proceedings or the payment of amounts in excess of normal and usual filing fees and processing fees, if any.

Section 12.18 Time. Time is of the essence under this Agreement. If the last day for the giving of any notice or the performance of any act required or permitted under this Agreement is a day that is not a Business Day, the time for the giving of such notice or the performance of such act shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
