p) “Vesting Date” means the vesting date set forth in the Notice of Grant of Performance Stock Units.

2.		Grant of Performance Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant (the “Award”), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the target number of PSUs (the “Target PSUs”) set forth in the Notice. Each PSU represents the unfunded, unsecured right of the Participant to receive a Share on the date(s) specified herein, subject to achievement of the relevant performance criteria. The Target PSUs represent the number of PSUs that will vest on the Vesting Date if the Company achieves the “Target” Performance Level for the Performance Period, and the Participant remains in Employment through the Vesting Date. PSUs do not constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for any corporate purposes and do not confer on the Participant any right to vote on matters that are submitted to a vote of holders of Shares.
3.		Dividend Equivalents and Retained Distributions. If on any date while PSUs are outstanding hereunder the Company shall pay any regular cash dividend on the Shares, the Participant shall not be entitled to receive the amount of cash equal to the dividend paid on a Share as a dividend equivalent payment (the “Dividend Equivalents”) at the time the regular cash dividend is paid to holders of Shares. If on any date while PSUs are outstanding hereunder the Company shall pay any dividend (including a regular cash dividend) or make any other distribution on the Shares, then, the Participant shall be credited with a bookkeeping entry equivalent to such dividend or distribution for each Target PSU held by the Participant on the record date for such dividend or distribution, but the Company shall retain custody of all such dividends and distributions (the “Retained Distributions”) unless the Board has in its sole discretion (and in a manner consistent with Section 19 of the Plan) determined that an amount equivalent to such dividend other than a regular cash dividend or distribution shall be paid currently to the Participant; provided, however, that if the Retained Distribution relates to a dividend paid in Shares, the Participant shall receive an additional amount of PSUs (i.e., by increasing the number of Target PSUs) equal to the product of (I) the aggregate number of Target PSUs held by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement through the related dividend record date, multiplied by (II) the number of Shares (including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on a Share. Retained Distributions will not bear interest and will be subject to the same restrictions as the PSUs to which they relate. Retained Distributions will be paid only with respect to the number of Shares that vest pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5 or 6 and will be paid in cash at the same time that Shares are issued to the Participant pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5 or 6, applicable. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this paragraph 3, no payment of Retained Distributions shall occur before the first date on which a payment could be made without subjecting the Participant to tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
4.		Vesting and Delivery of Vested Securities.

a) Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, on the Vesting Date, the Company shall issue or transfer to the Participant the number of Shares corresponding to the Performance Level achieved during the Performance

4

Period and the Retained Distributions, if any, relating to such Shares. Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7, the vesting of such PSUs and any Retained Distributions relating thereto shall occur only if the Participant has continued in Employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates on the Vesting Date and has continuously been so employed since the Date of Grant (as defined in the Notice of Grant of Performance Stock Units). As of the Vesting Date, a percentage (between 0% and 200%) of the target number of PSUs shall vest as follows:

	(i)		If the Company’s TSR Percentile for the Performance Period is ranked at or above the 50th percentile, then the percentage of the target number of PSUs that shall vest is based on the Company’s TSR Percentile during the Performance Period, as indicated in the table below;
	(ii)		If the Company’s TSR Percentile for the Performance Period is ranked below the 50th percentile and the Adjusted EPS Percentile for the Performance Period is ranked at or above the 50th percentile, then the percentage of the target number of PSUs that shall vest is the average of (x) the percentage of the target number of PSUs that would vest based on the Company’s TSR Percentile during the Performance Period, as indicated in the table below, and (y) 100%; and
	(iii)		If the Company’s TSR Percentile for the Performance Period is ranked below the 50th percentile and the Adjusted EPS Percentile for the Performance Period is ranked below the 50th percentile, then the percentage of the target number of PSUs that shall vest is based on the Company’s TSR Percentile during the Performance Period, as indicated in the table below.

	Performance			Company TSR Percentile During			Percentage of Target
	Level			Performance Period			PSUs That Vest
	Maximum			The Company is ranked at the 100th percentile				200	%
	Target			The Company is ranked at the 50th percentile				100	%
	Threshold			The Company is ranked at the 25th percentile				50	%
	Below Threshold			The Company is ranked below the 25th percentile				0	%

The percentage of Target PSUs that vest if the Company’s TSR Percentile during the Performance Period is between the “Threshold” and “Target” or between the “Target” and “Maximum” Performance Levels shall be determined by linear interpolation.

5

	b)		PSUs Extinguished. Upon each issuance or transfer of Shares in accordance with this Agreement, a number of PSUs equal to the number of Shares issued or transferred to the Participant shall be extinguished and such number of PSUs will not be considered to be held by the Participant for any purpose.
	c)		Final Issuance. Upon the final issuance or transfer of Shares and Retained Distributions, if any, to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement, in lieu of a fractional Share, the Participant shall receive a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share.
	d)		Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, no Shares or Retained Distributions shall be issued or transferred to a Participant before the first date on which a payment could be made without subjecting the Participant to tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

5. Termination of Employment.

	(a)		If the Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by the Participant for any reason other than those described in clauses (b) and (c) below prior to the Vesting Date, then the PSUs covered by the Award and all Retained Distributions relating thereto shall be completely forfeited on the date of any such termination, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate.
	(b)		If the Participant’s Employment terminates as a result of his or her death prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Company shall immediately issue or transfer to the Participant’s estate a pro rata portion of the number of Shares underlying the PSUs that would have vested (if any) if the Performance Period ended on the date of the Participant’s death plus all Retained Distributions relating thereto; provided, however, that in the event such termination of Employment due to death occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, then the pro rata number of PSUs that vest shall be based on the number of Target PSUs, without regard to the actual Performance Level achieved through such date. The pro rata amount of PSUs that shall vest upon the Participant’s death shall be determined by multiplying

	(x)		the full number of PSUs covered by the Award that would vest based on the actual Performance Level achieved through the date of death (or, in the case of death prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, based on the number of Target PSUs) by;
	(y)		a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the date of the Participant’s death, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Performance Period.

6

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

			The PSUs and any Retained Distributions related thereto that do not vest as described above shall be completely forfeited.
	(c)		If the Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Company and its Affiliates for any reason other than for Cause or if the Participant terminates Employment due to Good Reason, Retirement or Disability, then the Participant shall remain entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the PSUs that would otherwise vest (if any) on the Vesting Date based on the actual Performance Level achieved for the full Performance Period, and any Retained Distributions relating thereto, and such pro rata portion of the PSUs shall become vested, and Shares subject to such PSUs and any Retained Distributions relating thereto shall be issued or transferred to the Participant on the Vesting Date as follows:

	(x)		the number of PSUs covered by the Award that would vest on the Vesting Date (based on the actual Performance Level achieved for the full Performance Period) multiplied by;
	(y)		a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the date of such termination, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Performance Period.

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

The PSUs and any Retained Distributions related thereto that do not vest as described above shall be completely forfeited following the end of the Performance Period.

For purposes of this paragraph 5, a temporary leave of absence shall not constitute a termination of Employment or a failure to be continuously employed by the Company or any Affiliate regardless of the Participant’s payroll status during such leave of absence if such leave of absence is approved in writing by the Company or any Affiliate. Notice of any such approved leave of absence should be sent to the Company at One Time Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, attention: Director, Global Stock Plans Administration, but such notice shall not be required for the leave of absence to be considered approved.

In the event the Participant’s Employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated, the Participant shall have no claim against the Company with respect to the PSUs and related Retained Distributions, if any, other than as set forth in this paragraph 5, the provisions of this paragraph 5 being the sole remedy of the Participant with respect thereto.

7

6. Acceleration of Vesting Date. Subject to paragraphs 4(d) and 7, in the event a Change in Control or a Division Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the PSUs shall immediately vest and the Participant shall receive immediate payment in respect thereof determined as the sum of the following amounts:

(x) the number of PSUs covered by the Award that would have vested (if any) if the Performance Period ended on the date of the Change in Control or Division Change in Control (based on the actual Performance Level achieved through the date of the Change in Control or Division Change in Control) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the date of such Change in Control or Division Change in Control, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Performance Period;

(y) the number of Target PSUs multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the date of such Change in Control or Division Change in Control through the last day of the Performance Period, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Performance Period; and

(z) all related Retained Distributions.

If the sum of the amounts above would result in a fractional share, such fractional share shall be rounded to the next higher whole share.

7. Limitation on Acceleration. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, if the Payment (as hereinafter defined) due to the Participant hereunder as a result of the acceleration of vesting of the PSUs pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement, either alone or together with all other Payments received or to be received by the Participant from the Company or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Aggregate Payments”), or any portion thereof, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor thereto), the following provisions shall apply:

	a)		If the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes on the Aggregate Payments are paid would be greater than the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes are paid if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being subject to such excise tax, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the Aggregate Payments.
	b)		If, however, the net amount that would be retained by the Participant after all taxes were paid would be greater if the Aggregate Payments were limited to the largest amount that would result in no portion of the Aggregate Payments being

8

subject to such excise tax, the Aggregate Payments to which the Participant is entitled shall be reduced to such largest amount.

		The term “Payment” shall mean any transfer of property within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code.
		The determination of whether any reduction of Aggregate Payments is required and the timing and method of any such required reduction in Payments under this Agreement or in any such other Payments otherwise payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates consistent with any such required reduction, shall be made by the Participant, including whether any portion of such reduction shall be applied against any cash or any shares of stock of the Company or any other securities or property to which the Participant would otherwise have been entitled under this Agreement or under any such other Payments, and whether to waive the right to the acceleration of the Payment due under this Agreement or any portion thereof or under any such other Payments or portions thereof, and all such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its Affiliates. To the extent that Payments hereunder or any such other Payments are not paid as a consequence of the limitation contained in this paragraph 7, then the PSUs and Retained Distributions related thereto (to the extent not so accelerated) and such other Payments (to the extent not vested) shall be deemed to remain outstanding and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan as if no acceleration or vesting had occurred. Under such circumstances, if the Participant terminates Employment for Good Reason or is terminated by the Company or any of its Affiliates without Cause, the portion of PSUs affected by the limitation under this paragraph 7 and Retained Distributions related thereto (to the extent that they have not already become vested) shall become immediately vested in their entirety upon such termination and Shares subject to the PSUs shall be issued or transferred to the Participant, as soon as practicable following such termination of Employment, subject to the provisions relating to Section 4999 of the Code set forth herein.
		The Company shall promptly pay, upon demand by the Participant, all legal fees, court costs, fees of experts and other costs and expenses which the Participant incurred in any actual, threatened or contemplated contest of the Participant’s interpretation of, or determination under, the provisions of this paragraph 7.
8.		Withholding Taxes. The Participant agrees that,

a) Obligation to Pay Withholding Taxes. Upon the vesting of any portion of the Award of PSUs and the Retained Distributions relating thereto, the Participant will be required to pay to the Company any applicable Federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax due as a result of such payment or vesting. The Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares subject to the PSUs or to pay any Retained Distributions shall be subject to such payment. The Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from the Shares issued in connection with the vesting of PSUs or the Retained Distributions, as applicable, or any payment of any kind otherwise due to the

9

			Participant any Federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes due with respect to such vesting or payment.
	b)		Payment of Taxes with Stock. Subject to the Committee’s right to disapprove any such election and require the Participant to pay the required withholding tax in cash, the Participant shall have the right to elect to pay the required withholding tax associated with a vesting with Shares to be received upon vesting. Unless the Company shall permit another valuation method to be elected by the Participant, Shares used to pay any required withholding taxes shall be valued at the closing price of a Share as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the date the withholding tax becomes due (hereinafter called the “Tax Date”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Participant who is required to pay the required withholding tax in cash fails to do so within the time period established by the Company, then the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to pay such withholding taxes with Shares to be received upon vesting. Elections must be made in conformity with conditions established by the Committee from time to time.
	c)		Conditions to Payment of Taxes with Stock. Any election to pay withholding taxes with stock must be made on or prior to the Tax Date and will be irrevocable once made.

9.		Changes in Capitalization and Government and Other Regulations. The Award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions as provided in this Agreement and in the Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan (generally relating to adjustments to the number of Shares subject to the Award, upon certain changes in capitalization and certain reorganizations and other transactions).
10.		Forfeiture. A breach of any of the foregoing restrictions or a breach of any of the other restrictions, terms and conditions of the Plan or this Agreement, with respect to any of the PSUs or any Retained Distributions relating thereto, except as waived by the Board or the Committee, will cause a forfeiture of such PSUs and any Retained Distributions relating thereto.
11.		Right of Company to Terminate Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates and the Company and any such Affiliate shall have the right to terminate the Employment of the Participant at any such time, with or without Cause, notwithstanding the fact that some or all of the PSUs and related Retained Distributions covered by this Agreement may be forfeited as a result of such termination. The granting of the PSUs under this Agreement shall not confer on the Participant any right to any future Awards under the Plan.
12.		Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid,

10

		addressed to Time Warner Inc., at One Time Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Director, Global Stock Plans Administration, and to the Participant at his or her address, as it is shown on the records of the Company or its Affiliate, or in either case to such other address as the Company or the Participant, as the case may be, by notice to the other may designate in writing from time to time.
