endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange
or as may, consistently
5

requirements of Rule 144A; and
(B) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United
States.
6
(c) Global Securities in General. Each Global Security shall represent such of the
Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the
aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be
reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions or purchases of such Notes.
Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the
Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Securities Custodian
in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the
Securities Custodian.
Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) nor any other
Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have rights under this First Supplemental
Indenture with respect to any Global Security held in the name of the Depository or any nominees
thereof, or under the Global Security, and the Depository (including, for this purpose, their
nominees) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as
the sole owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or
the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished

on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

circumstances provided in Section 2.04 of the Indenture and of Section 202(a)(1) hereof.
(e) Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent
and Registrar in connection with the Notes. At all times there shall be a Paying Agent in the City
of New York.
Section 202 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.
(1) Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for interests in any Global
Security only if (a) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as depository for such Global Security or if it at any time shall no longer be
eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation
and no successor depository is appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or the
Company becomes aware of such ineligibility, (b) there has occurred and is continuing an Event
of Default with respect
7
to a series of Notes entitling the Holders of Notes of such Series to accelerate the
maturity of such Notes in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture or (c) at any time the
Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Notes of any series or portion thereof
issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented
by such Global Securities. In any of the foregoing cases, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
Certificated Securities of such series of Notes in exchange in whole or in part for such Global
Security, authenticate and deliver Certificated Securities of such series of Notes, in
definitive form in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of such Global
Securities in exchange therefor. Only Restricted Certificated Securities shall be issued in
exchange for beneficial interests in Restricted Global Securities, and only Unrestricted
Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Unrestricted
Global Securities. Certificated Securities issued in exchange for beneficial interests in
Global Securities shall be registered in such names and shall be in such authorized
denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon the exchange of the entire
principal amount of a Global Security for Certificated Securities of the same series of Notes,
such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or its agent. The Trustee shall deliver
at its Corporate Trust Office such Certificated Securities to the Persons in whose names such
Securities are so registered. Such exchange shall be effected in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures. Nothing herein shall require the Trustee to communicate directly with
beneficial owners, and the Trustee shall in connection with any transfers hereunder be entitled
to rely on instructions received through the registered Holder.
In the event that Certificated Securities are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in
Global Securities in accordance with the foregoing paragraph and, thereafter, the events or
conditions specified in this Section 202(a)(1) which required such exchange shall have ceased to
exist, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee and to the Holders stating that Holders may
exchange Certificated Securities for interests in Global Securities of the same series of Notes by
complying with the procedures set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture and briefly describing
such procedures and the events or circumstances requiring that such notice be given.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture other than
the provisions set forth in Section 202(a)(1) hereof, a Global Security may not be transferred,
except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the
Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any
such nominee to successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. Nothing in
this Section 202(a)(2) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section
202.
8
(b) Transfer and Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form. Subject to this
Section 202(b), a Holder may transfer a Note only by written application to the Trustee stating the
name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this First Supplemental
Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the
rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Trustee in
the Security Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company shall treat the person in whose name the Note
is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Note shall be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree
that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book
entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) in compliance with its
normal procedures and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be
reflected in a book entry system. When Notes are presented to the Trustee with a request to
register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same
series of Notes of other authorized denominations (including an exchange of Notes for Exchange
Notes of the same series of Notes or Private Exchange Notes of the same series of Notes), the
Trustee shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such
transactions are met (including that such Notes are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing); provided that no exchanges of Notes for
Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes of the same series of Notes shall occur until a
Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC and that any Notes that are
exchanged for Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes of the same series of Notes shall be
canceled by the Trustee. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities. When Certificated Securities are
presented by a Holder to the Trustee with a request:
(1) to register the transfer of the Certificated Securities to a person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of Certificated Securities of the same series of Notes only; or
(2) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal Principal Amount of Certificated
Securities of the same series of Notes of other authorized denominations,
the Trustee shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that
the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange:
9
(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer meeting the
requirements of the fifth paragraph of Section 3.05 of the Indenture; and
(2) in the case of a Restricted Certificated Security, such request shall be accompanied
by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:
(A) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being delivered to the Trustee by a
Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, or such Restricted
Certificated Security is being transferred to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, a
certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the
Transfer Certificate);
(B) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred to (i) a person the
Holder reasonably believes is a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (ii) outside the United
States in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect
from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate); or
(C) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred pursuant to an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in accordance with Rule
144, a certification to that effect from the Holder (in substantially the form set forth in
the Transfer Certificate) and, if the Company or the Trustee so requests, a customary
opinion of counsel, certificates and other information reasonably acceptable to the Company
or the Trustee to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act.
(d) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Securities. The transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities shall be effected through the Depository,
in accordance with the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture and the Applicable
Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Securities shall be subject to
restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the
Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Securities also shall require
compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the
other following subparagraphs, as applicable:
(1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Security. Beneficial interests in
any Restricted Global Securities may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Security in accordance with the
transfer restrictions set forth in the
10
Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the
Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may not be
made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial
Purchaser (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) except in connection
with a transfer pursuant to Section 201(b). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global
Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of the same series of Notes. Except as may be
required by the Applicable Procedures, no written orders or instructions shall be required to
be delivered to the Trustee to effect the transfers described in this Section 202(d)(1).
(2) Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Securities not subject to
Section 202(d)(1). In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that

deliver to the Trustee either (i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant
given to the Depository in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depository
to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security of the same
series of Notes in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged
and (ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information
regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase. Upon consummation of an
Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with Section 202(h) hereof, the requirements of
this Section 202(d)(2) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the Trustee of
the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such
beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Securities. Upon satisfaction of all of the
requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Securities contained in
the Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under
the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount at maturity of the relevant
Global Securities.
(3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Security. A beneficial
interest in any Restricted Global Security may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Security of the same
series of Notes if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 202(d)(2) above and
the Registrar receives the following:
(A) If the transferee is to take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the
144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a Transfer Certificate, including the
certifications in item (1) thereof; and
11
(B) If the transferee is to take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a
Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a Transfer Certificate,
including the certifications in item (2) thereof.
(4) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Restricted Global Security for a Beneficial
Interest in an Unrestricted Global Security. Any person having a beneficial interest in a
Restricted Global Security may upon request, subject to the Applicable Procedures, transfer
such beneficial interest to a person who is required or permitted to take delivery thereof in
the form of an Unrestricted Global Security of the same series of Notes. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the
Depository, from the Depository or its nominee on behalf of any person having a beneficial
interest in a Restricted Global Security and the following additional information and documents
in such form as is customary for the Depository from the Depository or its nominee on behalf of
the person having such beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security (all of which may
be submitted by facsimile or electronically):
(A) if such beneficial interest is being transferred pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from the
transferor (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate); or
(B) if such beneficial interest is being transferred pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act Rule 144, a certification to that effect
from the transferor (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate) and,
if the Company or the Trustee so requests, a customary opinion of counsel, certificates and
other information reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that
such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act,
the Trustee, as a Security Registrar and Securities Custodian, shall reduce or cause to be reduced
the aggregate Principal Amount of the Restricted Global Security of such series of Notes by the
appropriate Principal Amount and shall increase or cause to be increased the aggregate Principal
Amount of the Unrestricted Global Security of the same series of Notes by a like Principal Amount.
Such transfer shall otherwise be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. If no
Unrestricted Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall,
upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and
deliver an Unrestricted Global Security.
(e) Transfers of Certificated Securities for Beneficial Interest in Global Securities. If
Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder to the Trustee with a request:
12
(1) to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities to a person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security of the same series
of Notes, which request shall specify whether such Global Security will be a Restricted Global
Security or an Unrestricted Global Security; or
(2) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal Principal Amount of beneficial
interests in a Global Security of the same series of Notes, which beneficial interests will be
owned by the Holder transferring such Certificated Securities (provided that in the case of
such an exchange, Restricted Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Restricted

FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE
5.40% Note due 2012
This Note (as defined below) is one of the duly authorized issue of senior debentures, notes,
bonds or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Debt Securities”) of the Company
of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the
Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007, among the Company, TW NY, TWE, and The Bank of New York, as
Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture (the
“First Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of April 9, 2007, among the Company, TW NY, TWE, and the
Trustee (as supplemented, the “Indenture”) to which reference is hereby made for a statement of
the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee,
and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders of the
Debt Securities, and the terms upon which the Debt Securities are issued and may be authenticated
and delivered.
The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued
in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any)
at different rates, may have different conversion prices or exchange provisions (if any), may be
subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase
or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may
otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Note is one of the series of Debt
Securities of the Company issued pursuant to the Indenture designated as the 5.40% Notes due 2012
(the “Notes”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,500,000,000. The Company may,
without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional notes having the same ranking,
interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any additional notes will, together with the
Notes, constitute a single series of the Notes under the Indenture. No additional notes may be
issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
The Company promises to pay interest from April 9, 2007, on the principal amount of this Note
semi-annually on January 2 and July 2 of each year beginning July 2, 2007 at the office or agency
of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in like coin or currency, at the
rate per annum specified in the title hereof. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. If interest or principal on this Note is payable on a Saturday,
Sunday or any other day when banks are not open for business in The City of New York, the Company
will make the payment on the next business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of the
delay in payment.
A-5
[Additional Interest may be paid in respect of this Note under the circumstances described in
the Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of such
Registration Rights Agreement.]3
Each of TW NY and TWE, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees, to each Holder of Notes, and to the Trustee and its successors and
assigns, (i) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary
obligations of the Company under the Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes
and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations
of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes.
The Guarantees constitute guarantees of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of
collection. The obligation of the Guarantors to make any payments may be satisfied by causing the
Company or any other Person to make such payments. Further, the Guarantors agree to pay any and all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder of
Notes in enforcing any of their respective rights under the Guarantees.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
January 2 or July 2 will, except as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name
this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
December 15 or June 15 next preceding the interest payment date (herein called the “Regular Record
Date”) whether or not a Business Day, and may, at the option of the Company, be paid by check
mailed to the registered address of such Person. Any such interest which is payable, but is not so
punctually paid or duly provided for, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder
on such Regular Record Date and may be paid either to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to
Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if such
manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture.
Initially, the Trustee will be the Paying Agent and Registrar with respect to this Note. The
Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or
Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents and other Registrars and to approve any
change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Registrar acts; provided that, there
will at all times be a Paying Agent in The City of New York.
3 | Delete from all 2012 Notes that are not “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement. |
A-6
The Notes will be redeemable at any time and from time to time, as a whole or in part, at the
option of the Company, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the
registered address of each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed, at respective redemption prices
equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the
sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, as defined below, discounted to the
redemption date, on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months, at the Treasury Rate, as defined below, plus 20 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued
interest to the date of redemption that has not been paid (such redemption price, the “Redemption
Price”).
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to the Notes, the United States Treasury
security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the
remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes being redeemed that would be utilized, at the time
of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of such Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes: (1) the
average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the
highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (2) if the Trustee obtains
fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations obtained by the
Trustee.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, to be appointed
by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means four primary U.S. Government securities dealers to be
selected by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for
the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount,
quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note to be redeemed, the remaining
scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the
related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that,
if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Note, the amount of
the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount
of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes: (1) the yield, under
the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most
recently published statistical release designated
A-7
“H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States
Treasury debt securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant
Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that
if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for the Notes, yields for
the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be
determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a
straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if that release, or any successor
release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such
yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption
date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption
date.
On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion
thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price,
and accrued interest. On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with a paying
agent, or the Trustee, money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the
Notes to be redeemed on such date. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Notes of a
series, then the Trustee will select the particular Notes of such series to be redeemed by such
method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal
of all the Notes and all accrued interest thereon may be declared due and payable in the manner,
with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the
Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of each series under the
Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of all Series to be affected thereby (acting as one class).
The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Debt Securities of such series
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note or such other Note. The Indenture also permits the release of a Guarantor from its
obligations under its Guarantee in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of the
Debt Securities.
A-8
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal and any premium of and any interest on this Note at the place, rate and respective times
and in the coin or currency prescribed herein and in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set
forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either (i)
the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by, and the obligations under, the Debt Securities of any series and to have satisfied
all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Debt Securities
and the Guarantees of such series or (ii) the Company and the Guarantors shall cease to be under
any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or
provisions set forth in any additions or changes to or deletions from covenants and Events of
Default with respect to the Debt Securities and the Guarantees of such series.
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons, in a minimum denomination of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and in the manner and subject to the limitations
provided in the Indenture.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a new Note or Notes of authorized
denominations for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange
therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.

of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of such Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes: (1) the
average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the
highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (2) if the Trustee obtains
fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations obtained by the
Trustee.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, to be appointed
by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means four primary U.S. Government securities dealers to be
selected by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for
the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount,
quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note to be redeemed, the remaining
scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the
related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that,
if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Note, the amount of
the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount
of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.
B-7
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes: (1) the yield, under
the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most
recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes
yields on actively traded United States Treasury debt securities adjusted to constant maturity
under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable
Treasury Issue; provided that if no maturity is within three months before or after the
maturity date for the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or
extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if
that release, or any successor release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation
date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield
to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury
Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price
for that redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding
the redemption date.
On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion
thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price,
and accrued interest. On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with a paying
agent, or the Trustee, money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the
Notes to be redeemed on such date. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Notes of a
series, then the Trustee will select the particular Notes of such series to be redeemed by such
method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal
of all the Notes and all accrued interest thereon may be declared due and payable in the manner,
with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the
Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of each series under the
Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of all Series to be affected thereby (acting as one class).
The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Debt Securities of such series
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
B-8
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note. The Indenture also permits the release of a
Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee in certain circumstances without the consent of
the Holders of the Debt Securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal and any premium of and any interest on this Note at the place, rate and respective times
and in the coin or currency prescribed herein and in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions therein set
forth, including the deposit of certain trust funds in trust, at the Company’s option, either (i)
the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by, and the obligations under, the Debt Securities of any series and to have satisfied
all the obligations (with certain exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Debt Securities
and the Guarantees of such series or (ii) the Company and the Guarantors shall cease to be under
any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or
provisions set forth in any additions or changes to or deletions from covenants and Events of
Default with respect to the Debt Securities and the Guarantees of such series.
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons, in a minimum denomination of $2,000
and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Company

Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a new Note or Notes of authorized
denominations for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange
therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee

FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF DEBENTURE
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
6.55% Debenture due 2037
This Debenture (as defined below) is one of the duly authorized issue of senior debentures,
notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Debt Securities”) of the
Company of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the
Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007, among the Company, TW NY, TWE, and The Bank of New York, as
Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture (the
“First Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of April 9, 2007, 2007, among the Company, TW NY, TWE,
and the Trustee (as supplemented, the “Indenture”) to which reference is hereby made for a
statement of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Trustee, and any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Company, the Guarantors and the
Holders of the Debt Securities, and the terms upon which the Debt Securities are issued and may be
authenticated and delivered.
The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued
in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any)
at different rates, may have different conversion prices or exchange provisions (if any), may be
subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase
or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may
otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Debenture is one of the series of
Debt Securities of the Company issued pursuant to the Indenture designated as the 6.55 % Debentures
due 2037 (the “Debentures”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,500,000,000.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Debentures, issue additional debentures
having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Debentures. Any additional
debentures will, together with the Debentures, constitute a single series of the Debentures under
the Indenture. No additional debentures may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with
respect to the Debentures.
The Company promises to pay interest from April 9, 2007, on the principal amount of this
Debenture semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year beginning November 1, 2007 at the
office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in like coin or
currency, at the rate per annum specified in the title hereof. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If interest or principal on this Debenture is
payable on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day when banks are not open for business in The City of
New York, the Company will make the payment on the next business day, and no interest will accrue
as a result of the delay in payment.
C-5
[Additional Interest may be paid in respect of this Debenture under the circumstances
described in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Debenture is entitled to the
benefits of such Registration Rights Agreement.]11
Each of TW NY and TWE, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees, to each Holder of Debentures, and to the Trustee and its successors and
assigns, (i) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Debentures when due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary
obligations of the Company under the Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the
Debentures and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other
obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Debentures.
The Guarantees constitute guarantees of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of
collection. The obligation of the Guarantors to make any payments may be satisfied by causing the
Company or any other Person to make such payments. Further, the Guarantors agree to pay any and all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder of
Debentures in enforcing any of their respective rights under the Guarantees.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
May 1 or November 1 will, except as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name
this Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the April 15 or October 15 next preceding the interest payment date (herein called the “Regular
Record Date”) whether or not a Business Day, and may, at the option of the Company, be paid by
check mailed to the registered address of such Person. Any such interest which is payable, but is
not so punctually paid or duly provided for, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
Holder on such Regular Record Date and may be paid either to the Person in whose name this
Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice
whereof shall be given to Holders of Debentures not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Debentures may be listed and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee,
all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
Initially, the Trustee will be the Paying Agent and Registrar with respect to this Debenture.
The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent
or Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents and other Registrars and to approve any
change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Registrar acts; provided that, there
will at all times be a Paying Agent in The City of New York.
11 | Delete from all 2037 Debentures that are not “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement. |
C-6
The Debentures will be redeemable at any time and from time to time, as a whole or in part, at
the option of the Company, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to
the registered address of each Holder of the Debentures to be redeemed, at respective redemption
prices equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed
and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, as defined below,
discounted to the redemption date, on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate, as defined below, plus 35 basis points, plus, in either
case, accrued interest to the date of redemption that has not been paid (such redemption price, the
“Redemption Price”).
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to the Debentures, the United States Treasury
security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the
remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Debentures being redeemed that would be utilized, at the
time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of such Debentures.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Debentures: (1)
the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding
the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations; or (2) if the Trustee obtains
fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all quotations obtained by the
Trustee.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers, to be appointed
by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means four primary U.S. Government securities dealers to be
selected by the Company.

the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount,
quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Debenture to be redeemed, the
remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after
the related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however,
that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such
Debenture, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to
be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Debentures: (1) the yield,
under the heading which represents the average for the
C-7
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release
designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States Treasury debt securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant
Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that
if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for the Debentures, yields
for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will
be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a
straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if that release, or any successor
release, is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such
yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption
date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption
date.
On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Debentures or any
portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption
Price, and accrued interest. On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with a
paying agent, or the Trustee, money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest
on the Debentures to be redeemed on such date. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the
Debentures of a series, then the Trustee will select the particular Debentures of such series to be
redeemed by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Debentures shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of all the Debentures and all accrued interest thereon may be declared due and payable in
the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the
Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of

hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver
is made upon this Debenture or such other Debenture. The Indenture also permits the release of a
Guarantor from its obligations
C-8
under its Guarantee in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of the Debt
Securities.

any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition of certain restrictive covenants or
provisions set forth in any additions or changes to or deletions from covenants and Events of
