SUMMARY

The Company

We are the second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered systems located mainly in five geographic areas—New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. We principally offer three services—video, high-speed data and voice—over our broadband cable systems. We market our services separately and in “bundled” packages of multiple services and features. Historically, we have focused primarily on residential customers, while also selling video, high-speed data and networking and transport services to commercial customers. During 2007, we also began selling voice services to small- and medium-sized businesses as part of an increased emphasis on our commercial business. In addition, we earn revenues by selling advertising time to national, regional and local customers.

For a description of our business, financial condition, results of operations and other important information regarding us, see our filings with the SEC incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus. For instructions on how to find copies of these and our other filings incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, see “Where You Can Find More Information” in the accompanying prospectus.

Recent Developments

Separation from Time Warner

On May 20, 2008, we and our subsidiaries, TWE and TW NY, entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”) and its subsidiaries, Warner Communications Inc. (“WCI”), Historic TW Inc. (“Historic TW”) and American Television and Communications Corporation (“ATC”), the terms of which will govern our legal and structural separation from Time Warner.

Our separation from Time Warner will take place through a series of related transactions, the occurrence of each of which is a condition to the next. First, Time Warner will complete certain internal restructuring transactions. Next, following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including those described below, Historic TW will transfer its 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in TW NY to us in exchange for 80 million newly issued shares of our Class A common stock (the “TW NY Exchange”). Following the TW NY Exchange, Time Warner will complete certain additional restructuring steps that will make Time Warner the direct owner of all shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock previously held by its subsidiaries (all of Time Warner’s restructuring transaction steps being referred to collectively as the “TW Internal Restructuring”). Upon completion of the TW Internal Restructuring, our board of directors or a committee thereof will declare a special cash dividend to holders of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, including Time Warner, in an amount equal to $10.27 per share (aggregating $10.855 billion) (the “Special Dividend”). The Special Dividend will be paid prior to the completion of our separation from Time Warner. Following the receipt by Time Warner of the Special Dividend, we will file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended Charter”), pursuant to which, among other things, each outstanding share of our Class A common stock (including any shares of Class A common stock issued in the TW NY Exchange) and Class B common stock will automatically be converted into one share of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “TWC Common Stock”) (the “Recapitalization”). Once the TW NY Exchange, the TW Internal Restructuring, the payment of the Special Dividend and the Recapitalization have been completed, our separation from Time Warner (the “Separation”) will proceed in the form of either a pro rata dividend of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time Warner to holders of Time Warner’s common stock or through the consummation by Time Warner of an exchange offer of shares of TWC Common Stock for shares of Time Warner’s common stock. If the Separation is effected as an exchange offer, after consummation of the exchange offer, Time Warner will distribute to its stockholders, as a pro rata dividend, any TWC Common Stock that it continues to hold. The distribution by Time Warner of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time Warner to its stockholders as (a) a pro rata dividend, (b) an exchange offer or (c) a combination thereof is referred to as the “Distribution.” We refer to the Separation, the TW NY Exchange, the TW Internal Restructuring, the Special Dividend, the Recapitalization and the Distribution collectively as the “Separation Transactions.” Time Warner has the sole discretion, after consultation with us, to determine whether the Separation will be effected as a pro rata

S-1

dividend or through an exchange offer with its stockholders, which decision has not yet been made.

The Separation Agreement contains customary covenants, and consummation of the Separation Transactions is subject to customary closing conditions, including customary regulatory reviews and local franchise approvals, the receipt by Time Warner of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that the Separation Transactions will generally qualify as tax-free for Time Warner and Time Warner’s stockholders, the receipt of certain tax opinions and the entry into the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Supplemental Facility (each as defined below under “—Financing Commitments”). We cannot assure you that the Separation will occur.

June 2008 Bond Offering

On June 19, 2008, we issued $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and debentures (the “June 2008 Bond Offering”), consisting of $1.5 billion principal amount of 6.20% notes due 2013, $2.0 billion principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2018 and $1.5 billion principal amount of 7.30% debentures due 2038. We expect to use the net proceeds from the June 2008 Bond Offering to finance, in part, the Special Dividend. Pending the payment of the Special Dividend, a portion of the net proceeds from the June 2008 Bond Offering was used to repay variable-rate debt with lower interest rates, and the remainder was invested in accordance with our investment policy. If the Separation is not consummated and the Special Dividend is not paid, we will use the remainder of the net proceeds from the June 2008 Bond Offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness.

Financing Commitments

On June 30, 2008, we entered into a credit agreement with a geographically diverse group of major financial institutions for a senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 billion (which was reduced as described below), with an initial maturity date that is 364 days after the borrowing date (the “2008 Bridge Facility”) in order to finance, in part, the Special Dividend. Subject to certain limited exceptions, to the extent we incur debt (other than an incurrence of debt under our $6.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and our existing commercial paper program), issue equity securities or complete asset sales prior to drawing on the 2008 Bridge Facility, the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility will be reduced by an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from any such incurrence, issuance or sale. As a result of the June 2008 Bond Offering, the amount of the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility was reduced to $4.040 billion. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the parent company of Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank (“LBCB”), a lender under the 2008 Bridge Facility with an undrawn commitment of $269 million, filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on September 15, 2008 (the “Lehman Bankruptcy”). While we believe that LBCB is contractually obligated under the 2008 Bridge Facility, it is uncertain whether LBCB would fund its portion of any future borrowing requests or whether another lender might assume such commitment. Accordingly, we have included only $3.771 billion of commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility in our unused committed capacity as of September 30, 2008, which excludes LBCB’s $269 million commitment. As a result of this offering, the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility will be further reduced by the amount of the net cash proceeds we receive from this offering.

We may elect to extend the maturity date of the loans outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility for an additional year. In the event we borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility, subject to certain limited exceptions, we are required to use the net cash proceeds from any subsequent incurrence of debt (other than an incurrence of debt under the Revolving Credit Facility and our existing commercial paper program), issuance of equity securities or asset sale to prepay amounts outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility. We may prepay amounts outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility at any time without penalty or premium, subject to minimum amounts. We may not borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility unless and until the Special Dividend is declared.

Amounts outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on our credit rating, which margin, at the time of the Separation, is expected to be 100 basis points. In addition, the per annum interest rate under the 2008 Bridge Facility will increase by 25 basis points every six months until all amounts outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility are repaid. The financial institutions’ commitments to fund borrowings under the 2008 Bridge Facility will expire upon the earliest of (i) May 19, 2009, (ii) the date on which the Separation Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or (iii) the completion of the Separation.

S-2

In May 2008, Time Warner (as lender) committed to lend us (as borrower) up to an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion under a two-year senior unsecured supplemental term loan facility (the “Supplemental Facility”). We may borrow under the Supplemental Facility at the final maturity of the 2008 Bridge Facility only to repay amounts then outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility, if any. As a result of the June 2008 Bond Offering, Time Warner’s original commitment under the Supplemental Facility was reduced by $980 million to $2.520 billion. Time Warner’s commitment under the Supplemental Facility will be further reduced by (i) 50% of any additional amounts by which the commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility are further reduced by the net cash proceeds of subsequent issuances of debt or equity or certain asset sales by us prior to our borrowing under the 2008 Bridge Facility and (ii) the amount by which borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds $2.0 billion on the date of borrowing under the Supplemental Facility. As a result of this offering, the commitment of Time Warner under the Supplemental Facility will be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of the net cash proceeds we receive from this offering.

After the date of borrowing under the Supplemental Facility, subject to certain limited exceptions, we will be required to use the net cash proceeds from any incurrence of debt (other than an incurrence of debt under the Revolving Credit Facility and our existing commercial paper program), issuance of equity securities and asset sale to prepay amounts outstanding under the Supplemental Facility. In addition, (i) on any date on which the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility are increased in excess of the current $6.0 billion amount or (ii) on the last day of each fiscal quarter on which availability under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds $2.0 billion, we must use 100% of the excess amounts to prepay amounts outstanding under the Supplemental Facility. We may prepay amounts outstanding under the Supplemental Facility at any time without penalty or premium, subject to minimum amounts.

Our obligations under the debt securities issued in the June 2008 Bond Offering and under the 2008 Bridge Facility are, and under the Supplemental Facility will be, guaranteed by TWE and TW NY.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the debt securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the specific risk factors set forth below related to this offering and the Separation Transactions. Risks pertaining to our business are incorporated by reference to the section entitled “Item 1A.—Risk Factors” in the 2007 Form 10-K and the June 2008 Form 10-Q. See “Where You Can Find More Information” in the accompanying prospectus. Some factors in this section and the Risk Factors sections of the 2007 Form 10-K and the June 2008 Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements.” For a discussion of those statements and of other factors for investors to consider, see “Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information” in the accompanying prospectus.

As part of the Separation Transactions, we have incurred and will incur additional debt, which may limit our flexibility or prevent us from taking advantage of business opportunities.

In the June 2008 Bond Offering, we incurred $5.0 billion of indebtedness to fund, in part, the Special Dividend. We expect to incur additional indebtedness to fund the balance of the Special Dividend, through a combination of borrowings under the 2008 Bridge Facility, the Revolving Credit Facility and/or the issuance of debt in the capital markets, including the debt securities being offered by this prospectus supplement. The increased indebtedness and the terms of these financing arrangements and any future indebtedness will impose various restrictions and covenants on us that could limit our ability to respond to market conditions, provide for capital investment needs or take advantage of business opportunities. In addition, as a result of our increased borrowings, our interest expense will be higher than it has been in the past, which will affect our profitability and cash flows. In light of recent events affecting the U.S. and international financial markets, any new borrowings outside of our committed capacity would likely bear significantly higher interest rates than the debt securities issued in the June 2008 Bond Offering.

S-8

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $ billion, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and our estimated offering expenses.

In connection with the Separation Transactions, we will declare the Special Dividend in an aggregate amount of $10.855 billion, payable to holders of record of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock prior to the completion of the Separation Transactions. We intend to use all of the net proceeds from this offering to fund the Special Dividend; however, the Special Dividend will exceed the net proceeds from this offering by approximately $ billion. In addition to the proceeds from this offering, we intend to fund the Special Dividend and expenses related to the Separation Transactions with the net proceeds from the June 2008 Bond Offering, cash on hand, borrowings under the 2008 Bridge Facility, additional financing in the public debt market and/or borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Pending the payment of the Special Dividend, the net proceeds from this offering will be invested in accordance with our investment policy.

We cannot assure you that the Separation Transactions will occur. To the extent that the Separation Transactions are not consummated and, as a result, the Special Dividend is not declared by our board of directors, we will use the proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for Time Warner Cable is set forth below for the periods indicated.

For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings were calculated by adding:

(i) pretax income,

(ii) interest expense,

(iii) preferred stock dividend requirements of majority-owned companies,

(iv) minority interest in the income of majority-owned subsidiaries that have fixed charges, and

(v) the amount of undistributed losses (earnings) of our less than 50%-owned companies.

The definition of earnings also applies to our unconsolidated 50%-owned affiliated companies.

Fixed charges primarily consist of interest expense.

Earnings, as defined, include significant non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization primarily relating to the amortization of intangible assets recognized in business combinations.

(1)		As of September 30, 2008, cash and equivalents excluded a $490 million investment in The Reserve Fund’s Primary Fund (“The Reserve Fund”), which we included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet in the September 2008 Form 10-Q. On the morning of September 15, 2008, we requested a full redemption of our $490 million investment in The Reserve Fund, but the redemption request was not honored. On September 22, 2008, The Reserve Fund announced that redemptions of shares were suspended pursuant to an SEC order requested by The Reserve Fund so that an orderly liquidation could be effected. On October 31, 2008, we received $249 million from The Reserve Fund representing our pro rata share of a partial distribution. We have not been informed as to

S-10


		when the remaining amount will be returned. However, we believe our remaining receivable is recoverable and will be distributed in the next twelve months as The Reserve Fund’s investments mature.

(2)		This represents amounts borrowed under our credit facilities. For more information about the facilities and our outstanding debt, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Financial Condition and Liquidity— Outstanding Debt and Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Equity and Available Financial Capacity” in the 2007 Form 10-K and the September 2008 Form 10-Q. Our unused committed borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2008 was $9.514 billion (actual) and $ billion (pro forma), reflecting $5.743 billion (actual) and $ billion (pro forma) of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (which excludes the $125 million commitment of LBB) and $3.771 billion (actual) and $ billion (pro forma) of borrowing capacity under the 2008 Bridge Facility (which excludes the $269 million commitment of LBCB (actual) and $ million (pro forma)). For more information about the Lehman Bankruptcy, please see “Summary—Recent Developments—Financing Commitments.” We may not borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility unless and until the Special Dividend is declared.

(3)		As a result of this offering, the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility will be reduced by the amount of the net cash proceeds we receive from this offering and the commitment of Time Warner under the Supplemental Facility will be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of the net cash proceeds we receive from this offering. See “Summary—Recent Developments—Financing Commitments” above.

(4)		The recorded value of each series of TWE’s debt securities exceeds that series’ face value because it includes an unamortized fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the 2001 merger of AOL LLC (formerly America Online, Inc.) and Historic TW (formerly Time Warner Inc.) and bond discount/premium at issuance, which is being amortized as a reduction of the weighted average interest expense over the term of the indebtedness. The aggregate amount of fair value adjustments for all classes of TWE debt securities was $117 million as of September 30, 2008. For more information regarding our outstanding debt, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Financial Condition and Liquidity” in the 2007 Form 10-K and the September 2008 Form 10-Q.

(5)		The mandatorily redeemable preferred membership units issued by a subsidiary represent mandatorily redeemable non-voting Series A Preferred Equity Membership Units (the “TW NY Cable Series A Preferred Membership Units”) issued by Time Warner NY Cable LLC, which pay quarterly cash distributions at an annual rate equal to 8.21% of the sum of the liquidation preference thereof and any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. The TW NY Cable Series A Preferred Membership Units mature and are redeemable on August 1, 2013.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008 is presented as if the Separation Transactions had occurred on September 30, 2008. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are presented as if the Separation Transactions had occurred on January 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented based on information available, is intended for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of and does not purport to represent what our future financial condition or operating results will be after giving effect to the Separation Transactions.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are presented on the following basis:


	•	The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information assumes that we finance the payment of the Special Dividend through cash on hand, borrowings under the 2008 Bridge Facility and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The 2008 Bridge Facility requires that we pay an upfront fee, as well as ongoing fees of 0.2% per annum on the unused portion of the 2008 Bridge Facility. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information assumes that LBCB does not fund its undrawn commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility. See “Note 1: Description of the Separation Transactions.” The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information does not give effect to the issuance of any of the debt securities offered by this prospectus. See “Note 3: Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations Adjustments—Year Ended December 31, 2007” and “Note 4: Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations Adjustments—Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008.”

	•	We have entered into several other agreements with Time Warner related to the Separation Transactions, including agreements to license the “Road Runner” trademark and character and the “Time Warner” brand and trade name and derivations thereof. These agreements are not expected to materially impact the ongoing operations of our business and therefore, the effect of these agreements has not been included in our pro forma consolidated financial information.

	•	On May 20, 2008, we entered into a transition services agreement with Time Warner, under which Time Warner will continue to provide us with certain services for a short period of time after the completion of the Separation Transactions for a fee. We have not included these fees in our unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations because the majority of such costs are already reflected in our historical results as a result of Time Warner’s historical practice of allocating the cost for providing similar services to us. Any costs not reflected in our historical results are not expected to have a material impact on our future financial results.

	•	We have entered into an agreement under which we committed to invest approximately $550 million in a wireless communications joint venture which is expected to be formed by Sprint Nextel Corporation and Clearwire Corporation. The investment is expected to be made by the end of 2008 and has not been reflected in our unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet or unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations. We expect to fund this investment with cash on hand, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, our existing commercial paper program or a combination thereof.

	•	As a result of the Separation Transactions, we anticipate adjusting outstanding employee equity awards to maintain their estimated value. For TWC options held by our employees, we will adjust the number of options and the exercise prices of the options to maintain the fair value of the awards after the Special Dividend. These adjustments are in accordance with the terms of the equity plans and the related award agreements and, accordingly, will not give rise to any incremental compensation expense. In addition, under the terms of Time Warner’s equity plans and related award agreements, as a result of the Separation, our employees who hold options to purchase Time Warner common stock and shares of Time Warner common stock (“restricted stock”) or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its equity plans (collectively, the “Time Warner Equity Awards”) will be treated as if their employment with Time Warner had been terminated without cause at the time of the Separation. This treatment will

S-12


		result in the forfeiture of unvested stock options and shortened exercise periods for vested stock options and pro rata vesting of the next installment of (and forfeiture of the remainder of) the RSU awards for our employees who do not satisfy retirement-eligibility provisions in the Time Warner equity plans and related award agreements. We plan to grant “make-up” TWC equity awards or make cash payments to our employees that are generally intended to offset any loss of economic value in the Time Warner Equity Awards as a result of the Separation. We will incur compensation expense relating to these grants over their respective vesting periods. This compensation expense and the impact of the additional awards on diluted earnings per share is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has not examined, compiled or applied agreed upon procedures to the unaudited pro forma consolidated historical financial information presented herein and, accordingly, assumes no responsibility for them.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the notes to these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the 2007 Form 10-K and the September 2008 Form 10-Q, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Description of the Separation Transactions

Time Warner currently owns, though a wholly-owned subsidiary, approximately 82.7% of the outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and 100% of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, which represents 84% of our common stock and a 90.6% voting interest. The financial results of our operations are consolidated by Time Warner. Time Warner also indirectly owns a 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in one of our subsidiaries, TW NY. On May 20, 2008, we and our subsidiaries, TWE and TW NY, entered into the Separation Agreement with Time Warner and its subsidiaries, WCI, Historic TW and ATC, the terms of which will govern the Separation. The Separation will be completed through the following steps, which are collectively referred to as the “Separation Transactions”:

(1) Time Warner will complete certain internal restructuring transactions.

(2) Following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Historic TW, a subsidiary of Time Warner, will transfer its 12.43% ownership interest in TW NY to us in exchange for 80 million newly issued shares of our Class A common stock in the TW NY Exchange.

(3) Time Warner will complete certain additional restructuring steps that will make Time Warner the direct owner of all shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock previously held by its subsidiaries.

(4) Our board of directors or a committee thereof will declare, and thereafter we will pay, the Special Dividend to holders of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock of $10.27 per share, totaling $10.855 billion. Time Warner will receive approximately $9.25 billion of the proceeds from the Special Dividend and the remaining $1.61 billion will be distributed to our public stockholders. The Special Dividend distribution assumed in the pro forma presentation is calculated as follows (in millions, except per share data):


Class A common stock outstanding prior to the TW NY Exchange		902
Additional Class A common stock issued in the TW NY Exchange		80
Class B common stock outstanding		75

Total shares outstanding		1,057

Special Dividend per common share	$	10.27

Total Special Dividend	$	10,855

As a result of the Special Dividend, distributions with respect to restricted stock units (“RSUs”) based on shares of our Class A common stock issued under the Time Warner Cable Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan are assumed to be retained by us and paid only upon vesting of the related RSUs. Management estimates that approximately 4.3 million RSUs will vest and, therefore, be entitled to payment of the retained distributions related to the Special Dividend. As a result, management expects to pay approximately $44 million associated with the RSUs.

(5) We will file the Amended Charter, pursuant to which, among other things, each outstanding share of our Class A common stock (including any shares of Class A common stock issued in the TW NY Exchange) and Class B common stock will automatically be converted into one share of TWC Common Stock.

(6) The Separation will proceed in the form of either a pro rata dividend of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time Warner to holders of Time Warner’s common stock or through the consummation by Time Warner of an exchange offer of shares of TWC Common Stock for shares of Time Warner’s common stock. If the Separation is effected as an exchange offer, after consummation of the exchange offer, Time Warner will distribute to its stockholders, as a pro rata dividend, any TWC Common Stock that it continues to hold. Time Warner has the sole discretion, after consultation with us, to determine whether the Separation will be effected as a pro rata dividend or through an exchange offer with its stockholders, which decision has not yet been made.

In the June 2008 Bond Offering, we issued $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and debentures, consisting of $1.5 billion principal amount of 6.20% notes due 2013, $2.0 billion principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2018 and $1.5 billion principal amount of 7.30% debentures due 2038. We expect to use the net proceeds from the June 2008 Bond Offering to finance, in part, the Special Dividend. Pending the payment of the

S-17

Special Dividend, a portion of the net proceeds from the June 2008 Bond Offering was used to repay variable-rate debt with lower interest rates, and the remainder was invested in accordance with our investment policy.

In addition to issuing the debt securities in the June 2008 Bond Offering described above, on June 30, 2008, we entered into the 2008 Bridge Facility, a senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 billion (which was reduced as described below), with an initial maturity date that is 364 days after the borrowing date in order to finance, in part, the Special Dividend. Subject to certain limited exceptions, to the extent we incur debt (other than an incurrence of debt under the Revolving Credit Facility and our existing commercial paper program), issue equity securities or complete asset sales prior to drawing on the 2008 Bridge Facility, the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility will be reduced by an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from any such incurrence, issuance or sale. As a result of the June 2008 Bond Offering, the amount of the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility was reduced to $4.040 billion. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the parent company of LBCB, a lender under the 2008 Bridge Facility with an undrawn commitment of $269 million, filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on September 15, 2008. While we believe that LBCB is contractually obligated under the 2008 Bridge Facility, it is uncertain whether LBCB would fund its respective portion of any future borrowing requests or whether another lender might assume such commitment. Accordingly, we have included only $3.771 billion of commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility in our unused committed capacity as of September 30, 2008, which excludes LBCB’s $269 million commitment. As a result of this offering, the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility will be further reduced by the amount of the net cash proceeds we receive from this offering.

In May 2008, Time Warner (as lender) committed to lend us (as borrower) up to an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion under the Supplemental Facility, a two-year senior unsecured supplemental term loan facility. We may borrow under the Supplemental Facility at the final maturity of the 2008 Bridge Facility only to repay amounts then outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility, if any. As a result of the June 2008 Bond Offering, Time Warner’s original commitment under the Supplemental Facility was reduced by $980 million to $2.520 billion. Time Warner’s commitment under the Supplemental Facility will be further reduced by (i) 50% of any additional amounts by which the commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility are further reduced by the net cash proceeds of subsequent issuances of debt or equity or certain asset sales by us prior to our borrowing under the 2008 Bridge Facility and (ii) the amount by which borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds $2.0 billion on the date of borrowing under the Supplemental Facility. As a result of this offering, the commitment of Time Warner under the Supplemental Facility will be reduced by an amount equal to 50% of the net cash proceeds we receive from this offering.

S-18

(ii) on the last day of each fiscal quarter on which availability under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds $2.0 billion, we must use 100% of the excess amounts to prepay amounts outstanding under the Supplemental Facility. We may prepay amounts outstanding under the Supplemental Facility at any time without penalty or premium, subject to minimum amounts.

Our obligations under the debt securities issued in the June 2008 Bond Offering and under the 2008 Bridge Facility are, and under the Supplemental Facility will be, guaranteed by TWE and TW NY.

Note 2: Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet Adjustments

The Adjustments column represents the adjustments to reflect the consummation of the Separation Transactions.

The pro forma adjustments to the consolidated balance sheet related to the Separation Transactions are as follows:


	(a)	This adjustment reflects the use of cash to pay, in part, the Special Dividend, estimated debt issuance costs and one-time costs related to the Separation Transactions.


	(b)	This adjustment reflects the additional $7.805 billion of debt assumed to be incurred by us to finance the Special Dividend ($10.855 billion, which excludes retained distributions on RSUs), and the estimated remaining one-time costs related to the Separation Transactions ($40 million) to be incurred subsequent to September 30, 2008. The remainder of the Special Dividend, estimated debt issuance costs and one-time costs related to the Separation Transactions is assumed to be paid with cash on hand ($3.090 billion).


	(c)	This adjustment reflects the estimated retained distributions related to the Special Dividend amount payable with respect to the RSUs outstanding on September 30, 2008, which will be paid only upon vesting of such RSUs.


	(d)	This adjustment reflects the impact of the TW NY Exchange including:


	•	the elimination of the minority interest related to Time Warner’s indirect 12.43% interest in TW NY of $1.806 billion (the historical carrying value); and

	•	the issuance of 80 million shares of our Class A common stock, which is recorded at the historical $1.806 billion carrying value of the minority interest because such transaction is between entities under common control.


	(e)	This adjustment reflects the conversion of all of our issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock into shares of TWC Common Stock in the Recapitalization.


	(f)	This adjustment reflects the payment of the Special Dividend of $10.855 billion, the accrual of the estimated future cash payment of $44 million with respect to unvested RSUs as a result of the Special Dividend and $40 million of estimated one-time expenses to be incurred subsequent to September 30, 2008 related to the Separation Transactions, which are reflected as a reduction in retained earnings until depleted, with the remainder of $4.661 billion reflected as a reduction in paid-in-capital.


Note 3:	Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations Adjustments – Year Ended December 31, 2007

The pro forma adjustments to the consolidated statement of operations related to the Separation Transactions are as follows:


	(g)	The increase in interest expense, net, reflects incremental borrowings to finance the Special Dividend and expenses associated with the Separation Transactions. The following table

S-19


		illustrates the allocation of borrowings to various financing arrangements and the computation of incremental net interest expense.


	Debt Amount			Interest Rate			Interest Expense
	(in millions)						(in millions)

June 2008 Bond Offering–Borrowings to finance Special Dividend	$	5,000			6.75	%	$	338
2008 Bridge Facility		3,771	⁽ⁱ⁾		3.30	%		124
Revolving Credit Facility–Special Dividend		2,084			2.60	%		54
Revolving Credit Facility–Estimated debt issuance costs and transaction costs		132			2.60	%		3

	$	10,987	⁽ⁱⁱ⁾					519

Amortization of estimated debt issuance costs								4

Total interest expense							$	523


(i)		Amount excludes LBCB’s $269 million commitment under the 2008 Bridge Facility. See “Note 1: Description of the Separation Transactions.”
(ii)		The $10.987 billion of net incremental borrowings needed to finance the Special Dividend reflects the debt issuance costs and borrowings associated with the June 2008 Bond Offering and the upfront fees related to the 2008 Bridge Facility. Such amounts are used to compute pro forma interest expense for the 2007 and 2008 periods prior to the June 2008 Bond Offering. The $10.987 billion of net incremental borrowings is reduced by $3.090 billion of cash on hand and $92 million of debt issuance costs incurred prior to September 30, 2008, resulting in the $7.805 billion pro forma adjustment to long-term debt as of September 30, 2008 that will be incurred to finance the Special Dividend.

The table above assumes that we finance the Special Dividend with the net proceeds from the June 2008 Bond Offering, borrowings under the 2008 Bridge Facility and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Actual borrowings and interest rates may differ from the assumptions above.

The 2008 Bridge Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility have variable rates of interest. A change of 0.5%, or 50 basis points, in the interest rates on the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility in the table above would change pro forma interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 by approximately $19 million and $11 million, respectively.

In addition, the table above also does not reflect the impact of any debt securities issued in this offering, which would likely bear interest rates that are significantly higher than those under the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility. The net proceeds of any issuance of debt securities in this offering would be used to fund the Special Dividend and such funds would replace the same amount of funding from either the 2008 Bridge Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility. Each increase of 0.5%, or 50 basis points, in the interest rate of any debt securities issued in this offering over the interest rates assumed above for the 2008 Bridge Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility would increase pro forma interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 by approximately $5 million for each $1 billion of debt issued in this offering.


	(h)	This adjustment eliminates the historical minority interest expense related to Time Warner’s indirect ownership interest in TW NY to reflect the TW NY Exchange.


	(i)	This adjustment is required to adjust historical income taxes using our marginal rate of 40.0%.

	(j)	This adjustment reflects the impact of the TW NY Exchange as of the beginning of the period.

S-20


Note 4:	Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations Adjustments – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

The pro forma adjustments to the consolidated statement of operations related to the Separation Transactions are as follows:


	(k)	The increase in interest expense, net, reflects incremental borrowings to finance the Special Dividend and the expenses associated with the Separation Transactions. The following table illustrates the allocation of borrowings to various financing arrangements and the computation of incremental interest expense.

(i)		Pro forma interest expense has been reduced by $60 million, which is comprised of $94 million of interest expense recorded as a result of the June 2008 Bond Offering, net of interest income of $34 million generated from investing the remaining proceeds of the June 2008 Bond Offering in short-term investments, both of which have been included in the historical results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
(ii)		Amount excludes LBCB’s $269 million commitment under the 2008 Bridge Facility. See “Note 1: Description of the Separation Transactions.”
(iii)		Pro forma interest expense has been increased by $13 million to reflect actual interest expense reduced as a result of paying down the Revolving Credit Facility with a portion of the net proceeds of the June 2008 Bond Offering.
(iv)		The $10.987 billion of net incremental borrowings needed to finance the Special Dividend reflects the debt issuance costs and borrowings associated with the June 2008 Bond Offering and the upfront fees related to the 2008 Bridge Facility. Such amounts are used to compute pro forma interest expense for the 2007 and 2008 periods prior to the June 2008 Bond Offering. The $10.987 billion of net incremental borrowings is reduced by $3.090 billion of cash on hand and $92 million of debt issuance costs incurred prior to September 30, 2008, resulting in the $7.805 billion pro forma adjustment to long-term debt as of September 30, 2008 that will be incurred to finance the Special Dividend.

The 2008 Bridge Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility have variable rates of interest. A change of 0.5%, or 50 basis points, in the interest rates on the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility in the table above would change pro forma interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 by approximately $14 million and $8 million, respectively.

S-21

Credit Facility would increase pro forma interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 by approximately $4 million for each $1 billion of debt issued in this offering.


	(l)	This adjustment eliminates the historical minority interest expense related to Time Warner’s indirect ownership interest in TW NY to reflect the TW NY Exchange.


	(m)	This adjustment is required to adjust the historical income taxes using our marginal rate of 40.0%.


	(n)	This adjustment reflects the impact of the TW NY Exchange as of the beginning of the period.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

We will issue two separate series of debt securities and the related Guarantees (as defined below) under the senior indenture referred to in the accompanying prospectus. The following description of the particular terms of the debt securities offered hereby and the related guarantees supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of the senior debt securities set forth under “Description of the Debt Securities and the Guarantees” beginning on page 6 in the accompanying prospectus. This description replaces the description of the senior debt securities in the accompanying prospectus, to the extent of any inconsistency.

General

The % Notes due 2013 will mature on , 2013 and the % Notes due 2018 will mature on , 2018.

We will pay interest on the % Notes due 2013 at the rate of % per year and on the % Notes due 2018 at the rate of % per year, semi-annually in arrears on and of each year to holders of record on the preceding and of each year. If interest or principal on the % Notes due 2013 and the % Notes due 2018 is payable on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day when banks are not open for business in The City of New York, we will make the payment on the next business day, and no interest will accrue as a result of the delay in payment. The first interest payment date on the % Notes due 2013 and the % Notes due 2018 is , 2009. Interest on the % Notes due 2013 and the % Notes due 2018 will accrue from , 2008, and will accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The debt securities will initially be limited to $ aggregate principal amount (in the case of the % Notes due 2013) and $ aggregate principal amount (in the case of the % Notes due 2018), which aggregate principal amounts may, without the consent of holders of the % Notes due 2013 and % Notes due 2018, as applicable, be increased in the future on the same terms and conditions as such series of notes, except with respect to terms such as the issue date, issue price and first payment of interest of such series of notes.

The debt securities will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

Additional Information

See “Description of the Debt Securities and the Guarantees” in the accompanying prospectus for additional important information about the securities. That information includes:


	•	additional information about the terms of the securities;

	•	general information about the senior indenture and the Senior Indenture Trustee;

	•	a description of certain covenants under the senior indenture; and

	•	a description of events of default, notice and waiver under the senior indenture.

Guarantees

Under the Guarantees, each of TWE and TW NY, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, will fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to each holder of the debt securities and to the Senior Indenture Trustee and its successors and assigns, (1) the full and punctual payment of principal and interest on the debt securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of ours under the senior indenture (including obligations to the Senior Indenture Trustee) and the securities and (2) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of ours under the senior indenture and the debt securities. Such guarantees will constitute guarantees of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of collection (the “Guarantees”).

S-23

We describe the terms of the Guarantees in more detail under the heading “Description of the Debt Securities and the Guarantees—Guarantees” in the accompanying prospectus.

Existing Indebtedness

The following is a summary of the existing public debt and committed credit facilities of our company and the Guarantors. The following summary does not include intercompany obligations. Please see the information incorporated herein by reference for a further description of this indebtedness as well as our and our subsidiaries’ other indebtedness. In addition to the following indebtedness, one of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, Time Warner NY Cable LLC, has issued $300 million of its Series A Preferred Membership Units, which are subject to mandatory redemption on August 1, 2013.

Our Company

As of September 30, 2008, the aggregate committed amount under our bank credit facilities, including amounts reserved to support commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit, was $8.920 billion. As of September 30, 2008, there were borrowings of $3.045 billion outstanding under our five-year term loan facility that matures on February 21, 2011 and letters of credit totaling $132 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under or commercial paper supported by the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2008. Our unused committed capacity was $12.604 billion as of September 30, 2008, reflecting $3.090 billion of cash and equivalents, $5.743 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (which excludes the $125 million commitment of LBB) and $3.771 billion of borrowing capacity under the 2008 Bridge Facility (which excludes the $269 million commitment of LBCB). As of September 30, 2008, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of our debt securities was $9.976 billion. In addition, we are a guarantor of the debt securities issued by TWE. As a result of this offering, the commitment of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility will be further reduced by approximately $ billion to approximately $ billion, excluding the LBCB commitment. Any additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the remainder of the Special Dividend and expenses related to the Separation Transactions would reduce our unused committed capacity by an amount equal to such borrowings.

TWE

As of September 30, 2008, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of public debt securities of TWE was $2.600 billion. As of September 30, 2008, TWE did not have any outstanding bank debt. TWE is also a guarantor under our credit facilities and commercial paper program.

TW NY

As of September 30, 2008, TW NY did not have any outstanding public debt or bank debt. TW NY is also a guarantor under our credit facilities and commercial paper program.

Release of Guarantors

The senior indenture for the securities provides that any Guarantor may be automatically released from its obligations if such Guarantor has no outstanding Indebtedness For Borrowed Money (as defined in the accompanying prospectus), other than any other guarantee of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money that will be released concurrently with the release of such guarantee. Also, TW NY will be released from its Guarantee under such circumstances only if it is a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of ours. However, there is no covenant in the senior indenture that would prohibit any such Guarantor from incurring Indebtedness For Borrowed Money after the date such Guarantor is released from its guarantee. In addition, although the senior indenture for the securities limits the overall amount of secured Indebtedness For Borrowed Money that can be incurred by us and our subsidiaries, it does not limit the amount of unsecured indebtedness that can be incurred by us and our subsidiaries. Thus, there is no limitation on the amount of indebtedness that could be structurally senior to the securities. See “Description of the Debt Securities and the Guarantees—Guarantees” in the accompanying prospectus.

Ranking

The debt securities offered hereby will be unsecured senior obligations of ours, and will rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of ours. The Guarantees will be unsecured senior obligations of

S-24

TWE and TW NY, as applicable, and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of TWE and TW NY, respectively.

The debt securities and the Guarantees will effectively rank junior in right of payment to any of our or the Guarantors’ existing and future secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations. We and the Guarantors collectively have no more than $10 million of secured obligations as of September 30, 2008.

The debt securities and the Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including indebtedness and trade payables, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2008, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had total liabilities of approximately $9.3 billion (excluding intercompany liabilities payable to the Guarantors or us but including approximately $7.5 billion in deferred income taxes). The senior indenture does not limit the amount of unsecured indebtedness or other liabilities that can be incurred by our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Furthermore, we and TW NY are holding companies with no material business operations. The ability of each of us and TW NY to service our respective indebtedness and other obligations is dependent primarily upon the earnings and cash flow of our and TW NY’s respective subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment to us or TW NY of such earnings or cash flow.

Optional Redemption

We may redeem any of the % Notes due 2013 or the % Notes due 2018 as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to each holder of such securities to be redeemed, at respective redemption prices equal to the greater of:


	•	100% of the principal amount of the securities to be redeemed, and

	•	the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, as defined in the accompanying prospectus, 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 in the accompanying prospectus, plus basis points for the % Notes due 2013 and basis points for the % Notes due 2018;

plus, in each case, accrued interest to the date of redemption that has not been paid.

On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the debt securities or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless we default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest. On or before the redemption date, we shall deposit with a paying agent, or the Senior Indenture Trustee, money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the debt securities to be redeemed on such date. If we elect to redeem less than all of the debt securities of a series, then the Senior Indenture Trustee will select the particular debt securities of such series to be redeemed in a manner it deems appropriate and fair.

For additional information, see “Description of the Debt Securities and Guarantees—Optional Redemption” in the accompanying prospectus.

Book-Entry Delivery and Settlement

Global Notes

We will issue the debt securities of each series in the form of one or more global notes in definitive, fully registered, book-entry form. The global notes will be deposited with or on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or will remain in the custody of the Senior Indenture Trustee in accordance with the FAST Balance Certificate Agreement between DTC and the Senior Indenture Trustee.

DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear

Beneficial interests in the global notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Investors may hold interests in the global notes through either DTC (in the United States), Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg

S-25

(“Clearstream”), or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) in Europe, either directly if they are participants of such systems or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their U.S. depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers’ securities accounts in the U.S. depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. The Bank of New York will act as the U.S. depositary for Clearstream and Euroclear.

DTC has advised us as follows:


	•	DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

	•	DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC and facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.

	•	Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations.

	•	DTC is owned by a number of its direct participants and by The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

	•	Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly.

	•	The rules applicable to DTC and its direct and indirect participants are on file with the SEC.

Clearstream has advised us that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its customers and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its customers through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its customers, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to its customers, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Section. Clearstream customers are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream customer either directly or indirectly.

Euroclear has advised us that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the “Euroclear Operator”) under contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation (the “Cooperative”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the Cooperative. The Cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear participants. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly.

S-26

The Euroclear Operator has advised us that it is licensed by the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission to carry out banking activities on a global basis. As a Belgian bank, it is regulated and examined by the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission.

We have provided the descriptions of the operations and procedures of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear in this prospectus supplement solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of those organizations and are subject to change by them from time to time. None of our company, TWE, TW NY, the underwriters or the Senior Indenture Trustee takes any responsibility for these operations or procedures, and you are urged to contact DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

We expect that under procedures established by DTC:


	•	upon deposit of the global notes with DTC or its custodian, DTC will credit on its internal system the accounts of direct participants designated by the underwriters with portions of the principal amounts of the global notes; and

	•	ownership of the debt securities will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee, with respect to interests of direct participants, and the records of direct and indirect participants, with respect to interests of persons other than participants.

The laws of some jurisdictions may require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the debt securities represented by a global note to those persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through participants, the ability of a person having an interest in debt securities represented by a global note to pledge or transfer those interests to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC’s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, DTC or that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by that global note for all purposes under the senior indenture and under the debt securities. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note will not be entitled to have debt securities represented by that global note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated debt securities and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the senior indenture or under the debt securities for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the Senior Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, each holder owning a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that holder is not a direct or indirect participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of debt securities under the indenture or a global note.

None of our company, TWE, TW NY or the Senior Indenture Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of debt securities by DTC, Clearstream or Euroclear, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of those organizations relating to the debt securities.

Payments on the debt securities represented by the global notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment on the debt securities represented by a global note, will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the global note as shown in the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. The participants will be responsible for those payments.

Distributions on the debt securities held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of its customers in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Clearstream.

S-27

Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from Euroclear, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear participants and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear participants.

Distributions on the debt securities held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of its participants in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Euroclear.

Clearance and Settlement Procedures

Initial settlement for the debt securities will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between Clearstream customers and/or Euroclear participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear, as applicable, and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants, on the other, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by the U.S. depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to the U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving the debt securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to their U.S. depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of the debt securities received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in the debt securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream customers or Euroclear participants on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of the debt securities by or through a Clearstream customer or a Euroclear participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of the debt securities among participants of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be changed or discontinued at any time.

Certificated Notes

We will issue certificated debt securities to each person that DTC identifies as the beneficial owner of the debt securities represented by the global notes upon surrender by DTC of the global notes only if:


	•	DTC or any successor thereto notifies us that it is no longer willing or able to act as a depositary for the global notes or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and we have not appointed a successor depositary within 90 days of that notice or becoming aware that DTC is no longer so registered;

S-28


	•	an event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to a series of debt securities entitling the holders of debt securities of such series to accelerate maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the indenture; or

	•	we determine, in our sole discretion, not to have the debt securities of any series represented by a global note.

Neither we nor the Senior Indenture Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC, its nominee or any direct or indirect participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the related debt securities. We and the Senior Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes, including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the certificated notes to be issued.

S-29

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general summary of certain material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder and to a Non-U.S. Holder, each as defined below, and of certain material anticipated U.S. federal estate tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder, of the purchase of the debt securities at original issuance at their initial issue price, as well as the ownership and disposition of the debt securities by U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders, each as defined below. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, administrative pronouncements or practices, and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. Future legislative, judicial, or administrative modifications, revocations, or interpretations, which may or may not be retroactive, may result in U.S. federal tax consequences significantly different from those discussed herein. This discussion is not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). No ruling has been or will be sought or obtained from the IRS with respect to the classification of the debt securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or any of the U.S. federal tax consequences discussed herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any of the conclusions discussed herein or that a U.S. court will not sustain such a challenge.

This discussion does not address any U.S. federal alternative minimum tax; U.S. federal estate, gift, or other non-income tax except as expressly provided below; or any state, local, or non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of a debt security. In addition, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to beneficial owners of debt securities subject to special rules, including, for example, beneficial owners that (i) are banks, financial institutions, or insurance companies, (ii) are regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts, (iii) are brokers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies, (iv) are tax-exempt organizations, (v) hold debt securities as part of hedges, straddles, constructive sales, conversion transactions, or other integrated investments, (vi) acquire debt securities as compensation for services, (vii) have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, (viii) use the mark-to-market method of accounting, or (ix) are U.S. expatriates.

As used in this discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations, a “Holder” means a beneficial owner of a debt security. A “U.S. Holder” means a Holder that is: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) a corporation or any other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust that (a) is subject to the primary jurisdiction of a court within the United States and for which one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. If a Holder is a partnership or any other entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Partnership”), the U.S. federal income tax consequences to an owner or partner in such Partnership generally will depend on the status of such owner or partner and on the activities of such Partnership. A Holder that is a Partnership and any owners or partners in such Partnership are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of a debt security. As used herein, a “Non-U.S. Holder” means a Holder that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a Partnership.

This discussion assumes that a debt security will be a capital asset, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, in the hands of a Holder at all relevant times. This discussion also assumes that the initial debt securities were not issued with original issue discount that exceeded a statutorily defined de minimis amount, and that a Holder did not purchase initial debt securities at a market discount that exceeded a statutorily defined de minimis amount or at a premium.

A HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS TO ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S., OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

S-30

Tax Considerations for a U.S. Holder

Payments of Interest

Stated interest on a debt security generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with a U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Payments on Early Redemptions

In certain circumstances (see “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption”) we may be entitled to redeem debt securities before their stated maturity date. Because we believe that there is only a remote chance that such redemption will occur, we do not intend to treat such potential redemptions as part of or affecting the yield to maturity of any debt security under applicable Treasury regulations. That is, we intend to take the position that the debt securities are not “contingent payment debt instruments.” In the event that such a contingency occurs, it would affect the amount and timing of the income that a U.S. Holder will recognize. Our determination that this contingency is remote is binding on a U.S. Holder unless such U.S. Holder discloses a contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to challenge this determination, a U.S. Holder might be required to accrue income on a debt security at a higher yield and to treat as ordinary income (rather than as capital gain) any income realized on the taxable disposition of a debt security before the resolution of such contingencies.

Sale, Exchange, or Retirement of a Debt Security

A U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement, or other taxable disposition of a debt security in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received (other than any amount received in respect of accrued but unpaid interest not previously included in income, which will be taxable as ordinary income), and (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the debt security. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a debt security generally will be its cost to such U.S. Holder. Gain or loss recognized on the sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition of a debt security generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in such debt security exceeds one year. Long-term capital gain is subject to tax at a reduced rate to a non-corporate U.S. Holder (which reduced rate is currently scheduled to expire on January 1, 2011). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Tax Considerations for a Non-U.S. Holder

The rules governing the U.S. federal taxation of a Non-U.S. Holder are complex. A Non-U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of U.S. federal tax laws, including any information reporting requirements, to its particular circumstances and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S., or other taxing jurisdiction.

Payments of interest on a debt security by us or our paying agent to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax if such interest will qualify as “portfolio interest.” Interest on a debt security paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will qualify as portfolio interest if:


	•	for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Non-U.S. Holder does not own directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Company stock entitled to vote;

	•	for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related directly or indirectly to us through stock ownership;

	•	such interest is not effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (or, if certain income tax treaties apply, such interest is not attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder within the United States);

S-31


	•	such Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

	•	the certification requirement, described below, has been fulfilled with respect to such Non-U.S. Holder of the debt security.

The certification requirement will be fulfilled if either (i) the Non-U.S. Holder provides to us or our paying agent an IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), signed under penalty of perjury, that includes such Non-U.S. Holder’s name, address, and a certification as to its non-U.S. status, or (ii) a securities clearing organization, bank, or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business holds the debt security on behalf of such Non-U.S. Holder, and provides to us or our paying agent a statement, signed under penalty of perjury, in which such organization, bank, or other financial institution certifies that it has received an IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) from such Non-U.S. Holder or from another financial institution acting on behalf of such Non-U.S. Holder and provides to us or our paying agent a copy thereof. Other methods might be available to satisfy the certification requirement depending on a Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.

The gross amount of any payment of interest on a Non-U.S. Holder’s debt security that does not qualify for the portfolio interest exception will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at the statutory rate of 30% unless (i) such Non-U.S. Holder provides a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding of U.S. federal income tax under an applicable income tax treaty, or (ii) such interest is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment) by such Non-U.S. Holder and such Non-U.S. Holder provides a properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form).

Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or to withholding of U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement, or other disposition of a debt security unless (i) such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and other applicable conditions are met, or (ii) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business by such Non-U.S. Holder and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder.

If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a U.S. trade or business and interest on a debt security or gain realized on the disposition of a debt security is effectively connected with the conduct of such U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment), such Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax on such interest and gain on a net income basis at graduated rates in the same manner as if such Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. See “Tax Considerations for a U.S. Holder” above. In addition, any such Non-U.S. Holder that is a non-U.S. corporation may be subject to the branch profits tax on its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments, at the statutory rate of 30% unless such rate is reduced or the branch profit tax is eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. Although such effectively connected income will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, and may be subject to the branch profits tax, it generally will not be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax if a Non-U.S. Holder provides a properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form).

In certain circumstances (see “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption”), we may become obligated to make additional payments to Holders of the debt securities. If any such additional payments are made, they may be treated as interest subject to the rules described above, or as other income subject to U.S. federal withholding tax. Although the matter is not free from doubt, we may treat such payments made to Non-U.S. holders as subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% subject to reduction or exemption (a) by an applicable treaty if the Non-U.S. holder provides an IRS From W-8BEN (or successor form) certifying that it is entitled to such treaty benefits or (b) upon the receipt of an IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) from a Non-U.S. holder claiming that such payments are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of any such contingent payments.

S-32

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

A debt security held or treated as held by an individual who is a non-resident of the U.S. (as specially defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of his or her death will not be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, provided that the interest on such debt security is exempt from withholding of U.S. federal income tax under the portfolio interest exemption discussed above (without regard to the certification requirement). An individual may be a Non-U.S. Holder but not a non-resident of the U.S. for U.S. federal estate tax purposes. A Non-U.S. Holder that is an individual is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the possible application of the U.S. federal estate tax to its particular circumstances, including the effect of any applicable treaty.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

A Holder may be subject, under certain circumstances, to information reporting and/or backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 28%) with respect to certain payments of principal or interest on a debt security and the proceeds of a disposition of a debt security before maturity.

Backup withholding may apply to a non-corporate U.S. Holder that (i) fails to furnish its taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), which for an individual is his or her social security number, (ii) furnishes an incorrect TIN, (iii) is notified by the IRS that it failed properly to report certain interest or dividends, or (iv) fails, under certain circumstances, to provide a certified statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is a U.S. person, that the TIN provided is correct, and that it has not been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding. The application for exemption is available by providing a properly completed IRS Form W-9 (or successor form). These requirements generally do not apply with respect to certain U.S. Holders, including corporations, tax-exempt organizations, qualified pension and profit sharing trusts, certain financial institutions and individual retirement accounts.

We generally must report to the IRS and to a Non-U.S. Holder the amount of interest on debt securities paid to such Non-U.S. Holder and the amount of any tax withheld in respect of such interest payments. Copies of information returns that report such interest payments and any withholding of U.S. federal income tax may be made available to tax authorities in a country in which a Non-U.S. Holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

If a Non-U.S. Holder provides the applicable IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or other applicable form (together with all appropriate attachments, signed under penalties of perjury, and identifying such Non-U.S. Holder and stating that it is not a U.S. person), and we or our paying agent, as the case may be, has neither actual knowledge nor reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person, then such Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding with respect to payments of principal or interest on debt securities made by us or our paying agent. Special rules apply to pass-through entities and this certification requirement may also apply to beneficial owners of pass-through entities.

Payment of the proceeds of a disposition of a debt security by a Non-U.S. Holder made to or through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such Non-U.S. Holder (i) certifies its non-U.S. status on IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) signed under penalty of perjury, or (ii) otherwise establishes an exemption. Payment of the proceeds of a disposition of a debt security by a Non-U.S. Holder made to or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding unless such non-U.S. broker is a “U.S. Related Person” (as defined below). Payment of the proceeds of a disposition of a debt security by a Non-U.S. Holder made to or through a non-U.S. office of a U.S. broker or a U.S. Related Person generally will not be subject to backup withholding, but will be subject to information reporting, unless (i) such Non-U.S. Holder certifies its non-U.S. status on IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) signed under penalty of perjury, or (ii) such U.S. broker or U.S. Related Person has documentary evidence in its records as to the non-U.S. status of such Non-U.S. Holder and has neither actual knowledge nor reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person.

For this purpose, a “U.S. Related Person” is (i) a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) a non-U.S. person 50% or more of whose gross income from all sources for the three-year period ending with the close of its taxable year preceding the payment (or for such part of the period that the broker has been in existence) is derived from activities that are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, or (iii) a non-U.S. partnership if at any time during its taxable year one or more of its partners are

S-33

U.S. persons who, in the aggregate, hold more than 50% of the income or capital interest of the partnership or if, at any time during its taxable year, the partnership is engaged in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld from a payment to a U.S. or Non-U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against such Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such Holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. A Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding in its particular circumstances, the availability of an exemption from backup withholding, and the procedure for obtaining any such available exemption.

The foregoing discussion is for general information only and is not tax advice. Accordingly, you should consult your tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to you of purchasing, holding and disposing of the debt securities, including the applicability and effect of any state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws and any tax treaty and any recent or prospective changes in any applicable tax laws or treaties.

S-34

UNDERWRITING

We are offering the securities described in this prospectus supplement through a number of underwriters. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Mizuho Securities USA Inc. are the representatives of the underwriters. We have entered into a firm commitment underwriting agreement with the underwriters listed below. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, the aggregate principal amount of the securities listed next to its name in the following table:


	Principal Amount	Principal Amount
Underwriter	of Notes due 2013	of Notes due 2018

Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
Goldman, Sachs & Co.
Mizuho Securities USA Inc.

Total	$	$

The underwriting agreement is subject to a number of terms and conditions and provides that the underwriters must buy all of the securities if they buy any of them. The underwriters will sell the securities to the public when and if the underwriters buy the securities from us.

The underwriters have advised us that they propose initially to offer the securities to the public at the public offering prices set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement, and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of % of the principal amount of the % Notes due 2013 and % of the principal amount of the % Notes due 2018. The underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of % of the principal amount of the % Notes due 2013 and % of the principal amount of the % Notes due 2018 to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering of the securities, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed. The offering of the securities by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

We estimate that our share of the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts, will be approximately $ .

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against, or contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of, certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

The securities are new issues of securities with no established trading market. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. The underwriters may make a market in the securities after completion of the offering, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the securities or that an active public market for the securities will develop. If an active public market for the securities does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the securities may be adversely affected.

In connection with the offering of the securities, the representatives may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. Specifically, the representatives may over allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position. In addition, the representatives may bid for, and purchase, the securities in the open market to cover short positions or to stabilize the price of the securities. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels, but no representation is made hereby of the magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the market price of the securities. The underwriters will not be required to engage in these activities, and may engage in these activities, and may end any

S-35

of these activities, at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a Relevant Member State), each underwriter, on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates that participates in the initial distribution of the securities, has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the Relevant Implementation Date) it and each such affiliate have not made and will not make an offer of securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus supplement to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:


	(a)	to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorised or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;

	(b)	to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than €43,000,000; and (3) an annual net turnover of more than €50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts;

	(c)	to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives; or

	(d)	in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such offer of securities shall require us or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of securities to the public” in relation to any securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the securities, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

Each underwriter has also represented and agreed that it and each such affiliate have:


	(a)	only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to TWC or the Guarantors; and

	(b)	complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

S-36

the laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to securities which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) and any rules made thereunder.

	•	a trust (where the trustee is not an accredited investor) whose sole purpose is to hold investments and each beneficiary of the trust is an individual who is an accredited investor,

We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. We are not making an offer of the securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.

STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenues, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, cash provided by operating activities and other financial measures. These statements may be made directly in this prospectus referring to us and they may also be made a part of this prospectus by reference to other documents filed with the SEC, which is known as incorporation by reference. Words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. All of these forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. None of us, TWE or TW NY is under any obligation to, and each expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter any forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.

Various factors could adversely affect our operations, business or financial results in the future and cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed under “Risk Factors” or otherwise discussed in the 2007 Form 10-K and the March 2008 Form 10-Q and in our other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, we operate in a highly competitive, consumer and technology-driven and rapidly changing business. Our business is affected by government regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions, consumer response to new and existing products and services, technological developments and, particularly in view of new technologies, our continued ability to protect and secure any necessary intellectual property rights. Our actual results could differ materially from management’s expectations because of changes in such factors.

Further, lower than expected valuations associated with our cash flows and revenues may result in our inability to realize the value of recorded intangibles and goodwill. Additionally, achieving our financial objectives could be adversely affected by the factors discussed in detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2007 Form 10-K, as well as:


	•	economic slowdowns;

	•	the impact of terrorist acts and hostilities;

	•	changes in our plans, strategies and intentions;

	•	the impacts of significant acquisitions, dispositions and other similar transactions;

	•	the failure to meet earnings expectations; and

	•	decreased liquidity in the capital markets, including any reduction in our ability to access the capital markets for debt securities or bank financings.

For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please see the documents that we have filed with the SEC, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, current reports on Form 8-K and proxy statements.

All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us, TWE or TW NY or any person acting on our or their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risk. You should carefully consider the specific risks discussed or incorporated by reference in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all the other information contained in the prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” included in the 2007 Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for Time Warner Cable is set forth below for the periods indicated.

For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings were calculated by adding:


	(i)	pretax income,

	(ii)	interest expense,

	(iii)	preferred stock dividend requirements of majority-owned companies,

	(iv)	minority interest in the income of majority-owned subsidiaries that have fixed charges, and

	(v)	the amount of undistributed losses (earnings) of our less than 50%-owned companies.

The definition of earnings also applies to any unconsolidated 50%-owned affiliated companies referred to on Exhibit 12.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part as “Adjustment for partially-owned subsidiaries and 50%-owned companies.”

Fixed charges primarily consist of interest expense.

Earnings as defined include significant noncash charges for depreciation and amortization primarily relating to the amortization of intangible assets recognized in business combinations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES AND THE GUARANTEES

General

The following description of the terms of our senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities (together, the “debt securities”) sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. Unless otherwise noted, the general terms and provisions of our debt securities discussed below apply to both our senior debt securities and our subordinated debt securities. The particular terms of any debt securities and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions will not apply to such debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities. In the following description, the term “Guarantors” refers to TWE and TW NY, as the guarantors of the debt securities.

Our debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The senior debt securities will be issued from time to time in series under an indenture dated as of April 9, 2007, among us, TWE, TW NY and The Bank of New York, as Senior Indenture Trustee (as amended or supplemented from time to time) (the “senior indenture”). The subordinated debt securities will be issued from time to time under a subordinated indenture to be entered into among us, TWE, TW NY and The Bank of New York, as Subordinated Indenture Trustee (the “subordinated indenture” and, together with the senior indenture, the “indentures”). The Senior Indenture Trustee and the Subordinated Indenture Trustee are both referred to, individually, as the “Trustee.” The senior debt securities will constitute our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and the subordinated debt securities will constitute our unsecured and subordinated obligations. A detailed description of the subordination provisions is provided below under the caption “—Ranking and Subordination—Subordination.” In general, however, if we declare bankruptcy, holders of the senior debt securities will be paid in full before the holders of subordinated debt securities will receive anything.

The statements set forth below are brief summaries of certain provisions contained in the indentures, which summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the indentures, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit or filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Terms used herein that are otherwise not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the indentures. Such defined terms shall be incorporated herein by reference.

The indentures do not limit the amount of debt securities which may be issued under the applicable indenture and debt securities may be issued under the applicable indenture up to the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from time to time by us. Any such limit applicable to a particular series will be specified in the prospectus supplement relating to that series.

The prospectus supplement related to any series of debt securities in respect to which this prospectus is being delivered will contain the following terms, among others, for each such series of debt securities:


	•	the designation and issue date of the debt securities;

	•	the date or dates on which the principal of the debt securities is payable;

	•	the rate or rates (or manner of calculation thereof), if any, per annum at which the debt securities will bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which interest will accrue and the interest payment date or dates for the debt securities;

	•	any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities which may be authenticated and delivered under the applicable indenture;

	•	the period or periods within which, the redemption price or prices or the repayment price or prices, as the case may be, at which and the terms and conditions upon which the debt securities may be redeemed at the Company’s option or the option of the Holder of such debt securities;

	•	the obligation, if any, of the Company to purchase the debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder of such debt securities and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which such debt securities will be purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;


	•	if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which the debt securities will be issuable;

	•	provisions, if any, with regard to the conversion or exchange of the debt securities, at the option of the Holders of such debt securities or the Company, as the case may be, for or into new securities of a different series, the Company’s Class A common stock or other securities and, if such debt securities are convertible into the Company’s Class A common stock, Class B common stock or other Marketable Securities (as defined in the indentures), the conversion price;

	•	if other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies or units based on or related to currencies in which the debt securities will be denominated and in which payments of principal of, and any premium and interest on, such debt securities shall or may be payable;

	•	if the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the debt securities are to be payable, at the election of the Company or a Holder of such debt securities, in a currency (including a composite currency) other than that in which such debt securities are stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such election may be made;

	•	if the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the debt securities may be determined with reference to an index based on a currency (including a composite currency) other than that in which such debt securities are stated to be payable, the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

	•	provisions, if any, related to the exchange of the debt securities, at the option of the Holders of such debt securities, for other securities of the same series of the same aggregate principal amount or of a different authorized series or different authorized denomination or denominations, or both;

	•	the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities, if other than the principal amount thereof, which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof as more fully described under the section “—Events of Default, Notice and Waiver” below;

	•	whether the debt securities will be issued in the form of global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary with respect to such global securities;

	•	with respect to subordinated debt securities only, the amendment or modification of the subordination provisions in the subordinated indenture with respect to the debt securities; and

	•	any other specific terms.

We may issue debt securities of any series at various times and we may reopen any series for further issuances from time to time without notice to existing Holders of securities of that series.

Some of the debt securities may be issued as original issue discount debt securities. Original issue discount debt securities bear no interest or bear interest at below-market rates. These are sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. If we issue these securities, the prospectus supplement will describe any special tax, accounting or other information which we think is important. We encourage you to consult with your own competent tax and financial advisors on these important matters.

Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the covenants contained in the indentures will not provide special protection to Holders of debt securities if we enter into a highly leveraged transaction, recapitalization or restructuring.

Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, interest on outstanding debt securities will be paid to Holders of record on the date that is 15 days prior to the date such interest is to be paid, or, if not a business day, the next preceding business day. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, debt securities will be issued in fully registered form only. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, the principal amount of the debt securities will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in New York, New York. The debt securities may be presented for transfer or exchange at such office unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, subject to the limitations provided in the applicable

indenture, without any service charge, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith.

Guarantees

Under the Guarantees (as defined below), each of TWE and TW NY, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, will fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of the debt securities and to the applicable Trustee and its successors and assigns, (1) the full and punctual payment of principal and interest on the debt securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of ours under the indentures (including obligations to the applicable Trustee) and the debt securities and (2) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of ours under the indentures and the debt securities (the “Guarantees”). Such Guarantees will constitute guarantees of payment, performance and compliance and not merely of collection. The obligations of each of TWE and TW NY under the indentures will be unconditional irrespective of the absence or existence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against us or each other or any waiver or amendment of the provisions of the indentures or the debt securities to the extent that any such action or similar action would otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (except that any such waiver or amendment that expressly purports to modify or release such obligations shall be effective in accordance with its terms). The obligations of TWE and TW NY to make any payments may be satisfied by causing us to make such payments. Each of TWE and TW NY shall further agree to waive presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to us and shall also waive diligence, notice of acceptance of its Guarantee, presentment, demand for payment, notice of protest for non-payment, filing a claim if we complete a merger or declare bankruptcy and any right to require a proceeding first against us. These obligations shall be unaffected by any failure or policy of the Trustee to exercise any right under the indentures or under any series of security. If any Holder of any debt security or the Trustee is required by a court or otherwise to return to us, TWE or TW NY, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to us, TWE or TW NY, any amount paid by us or any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantees of TWE and TW NY, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Further, each of the Guarantors agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Senior Indenture Trustee or the Subordinated Indenture Trustee, as applicable, or any Holder of debt securities in enforcing any of their respective rights under the Guarantees. The indentures provide that each of the Guarantees of TWE and TW NY is limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by TWE and TW NY, respectively, without rendering the relevant Guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Although we believe the Guarantees of TWE and TW NY are valid and enforceable, under certain circumstances, a court could find a subsidiary’s guarantee void or unenforceable under fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

The indentures provide that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under its Guarantee upon receipt by the Trustee of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of ours certifying that such Guarantor has no outstanding Indebtedness For Borrowed Money, as of the date of such certificate, other than any other Guarantee of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money that will be released concurrently with the release of such Guarantee. In addition, TW NY will be released from its Guarantee under such circumstances only if it is also a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of ours. Also, if any of these conditions are satisfied, the applicable Guarantor may not guarantee a new issuance of debt securities. However, there is no covenant in the indentures that would prohibit any such Guarantor from incurring Indebtedness For Borrowed Money after the date such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee.

The indentures further provide that we and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture without the consent of the Holders to add additional guarantors in respect of the debt securities.

Ranking and Subordination

Ranking

The senior debt securities will be our unsecured, senior obligations, and will rank equally with our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Guarantees of the senior debt securities will be unsecured and senior obligations of each of TWE and TW NY, and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of TWE and TW NY, respectively. The subordinated debt securities will be our unsecured, subordinated obligations and the Guarantees of the subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and subordinated obligations of each of TWE and TW NY.

The debt securities and the Guarantees will effectively rank junior in right of payment to any of our or the Guarantors’ existing and future secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations. The debt securities and the Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including indebtedness and trade payables, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. The indentures do not limit the amount of unsecured indebtedness or other liabilities that can be incurred by our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Subordination

If issued, the indebtedness evidenced by the subordinated debt securities is subordinate to the prior payment in full of all our Senior Indebtedness (as defined below). During the continuance beyond any applicable grace period of any default in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any of our Senior Indebtedness, we may not make any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the subordinated debt securities. In addition, upon any payment or distribution of our assets upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the subordinated debt securities will be subordinated to the extent provided in the subordinated indenture in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all our Senior Indebtedness. Because of this subordination, if we dissolve or otherwise liquidate, Holders of our subordinated debt securities may receive less, ratably, than Holders of our Senior Indebtedness. The subordination provisions do not prevent the occurrence of an event of default under the subordinated indenture.

The subordination provisions also apply in the same way to each Guarantor with respect to the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

The term “Senior Indebtedness” of a person means with respect to such person the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and any other payment due pursuant to any of the following, whether outstanding on the date of the subordinated indenture or incurred by that person in the future:


	•	all of the indebtedness of that person for borrowed money, including any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or other lien which is (1) given to secure all or part of the purchase price of property subject to the mortgage or lien, whether given to the vendor of that property or to another lender, or (2) existing on property at the time that person acquires it;

	•	all of the indebtedness of that person evidenced by notes, debentures, bonds or other similar instruments sold by that person for money;

	•	all of the lease obligations which are capitalized on the books of that person in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

	•	all indebtedness of others of the kinds described in the first two bullet points above and all lease obligations of others of the kind described in the third bullet point above that the person, in any


		manner, assumes or guarantees or that the person in effect guarantees through an agreement to purchase, whether that agreement is contingent or otherwise; and


	•	all renewals, extensions or refundings of indebtedness of the kinds described in the first, second or fourth bullet point above and all renewals or extensions of leases of the kinds described in the third or fourth bullet point above;

unless, in the case of any particular indebtedness, lease, renewal, extension or refunding, the instrument or lease creating or evidencing it or the assumption or guarantee relating to it expressly provides that such indebtedness, lease, renewal, extension or refunding is not superior in right of payment to the subordinated debt securities. Our senior debt securities, and any unsubordinated guarantee obligations of ours or any Guarantor to which we and the Guarantors are a party, including the Guarantors’ Guarantees of our debt securities and other indebtedness for borrowed money, constitute Senior Indebtedness for purposes of the subordinated indenture.

Pursuant to the subordinated indenture, the subordinated indenture may not be amended, at any time, to alter the subordination provisions of any outstanding subordinated debt securities without the consent of the requisite holders of each outstanding series or class of Senior Indebtedness (as determined in accordance with the instrument governing such Senior Indebtedness) that would be adversely affected.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Liens

The indentures provide that neither we nor any Material Subsidiary of ours shall incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness For Borrowed Money that is secured by a lien on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired by us or it unless we make or cause to be made effective provisions whereby the debt securities will be secured by such lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other indebtedness thereby secured so long as any such indebtedness shall be secured. The foregoing restriction does not apply to the following:


	•	liens existing as of the date of the applicable indenture;

	•	liens issued, created or assumed by Subsidiaries of ours to secure indebtedness of such Subsidiaries to us or to one or more other Subsidiaries of ours;

	•	liens affecting property of a Person existing at the time it becomes a Subsidiary of ours or at the time it merges into or consolidates with us or a Subsidiary of ours or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of such Person to us or our Subsidiaries;

	•	liens on property or assets existing at the time of the acquisition thereof or incurred to secure payment of all or a part of the purchase price thereof or to secure indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 18 months after the acquisition thereof for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price thereof, in a principal amount not exceeding 110% of the purchase price;

	•	liens on any property to secure all or part of the cost of improvements or construction thereon or indebtedness incurred to provide funds for such purpose in a principal amount not exceeding 110% of the cost of such improvements or construction;

	•	liens on shares of stock, indebtedness or other securities of a Person that is not a Subsidiary of ours;

	•	liens in respect of capital leases entered into after the date of the applicable indenture provided that such liens extend only to the property or assets that are the subject of such capital leases;

	•	liens resulting from progress payments or partial payments under United States government contracts or subcontracts;

	•	any extensions, renewal or replacement of any lien referred to above or of any indebtedness secured thereby; provided, however, that the principal amount of indebtedness secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or


		replacement, or at the time the lien was issued, created or assumed or otherwise permitted, and that such extension, renewal or replacement lien shall be limited to all or part of substantially the same property which secured the lien extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property);


	•	liens in favor of the Trustees;

	•	with respect to the subordinated indenture and subordinated debt securities only, liens securing Senior Indebtedness and the guarantees securing such Senior Indebtedness; and

	•	other liens arising in connection with our indebtedness and our Subsidiaries’ indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount for us and our Subsidiaries not exceeding at the time such lien is issued, created or assumed the greater of (a) 15% of the Consolidated Net Worth of our company and (b) $500 million.

Limitation on Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance or Transfer on Certain Terms

None of our company, TWE or TW NY shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

(1) (a) in the case of our company, the Person formed by such consolidation or into which our company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of our company substantially as an entirety shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the debt securities and the performance of every covenant of the applicable indenture (as supplemented from time to time) on the part of our company to be performed or observed; (b) in the case of TWE or TW NY, the Person formed by such consolidation or into which TWE or TW NY is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of TWE or TW NY substantially as an entirety shall be either (i) one of us, TWE or TW NY or (ii) a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the District of Columbia, and in the case of clause (ii), shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the performance of every covenant of the applicable indenture (as supplemented from time to time) on the part of TWE or TW NY to be performed or observed;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and

(3) we have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this covenant and that all conditions precedent provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of our company, TWE or TW NY substantially as an entirety as set forth above, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which our company, TWE or TW NY is merged or to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of our company, TWE or TW NY, as the case may be, under the applicable indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as our company, TWE or TW NY, as the case may be, in the applicable indenture. In the event of any such conveyance or transfer, our company, TWE or TW NY, as the case may be, as the predecessor shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the applicable indenture and the debt securities issued under such indenture and may be dissolved, wound up or liquidated at any time thereafter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such provisions with respect to limitations on consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer on certain terms shall not apply to any Guarantor if at such time such Guarantor has been released from its obligations under its Guarantee upon receipt by the applicable Trustee of a certificate of

a Responsible Officer of ours certifying that such Guarantor has no outstanding Indebtedness For Borrowed Money and, in the case of TW NY, certifying that TW NY is a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of our company, each as described above under “—Guarantees.”

Subject to the foregoing, the indentures and the debt securities do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to afford Holders of debt securities protection in the event of a recapitalization or highly leveraged transaction involving our company.

Any additional covenants of our company, TW NY or TWE pertaining to a series of debt securities will be set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities.

“Material Subsidiary” means any Person that is a Subsidiary if, at the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of our company, the aggregate amount, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, of securities of, loans and advances to, and other investments in, such Person held by us and our other Subsidiaries exceeded 10% of our Consolidated Net Worth.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the debt securities: (1) the average of two Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of four 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 us.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means four primary U.S. Government securities dealers to be selected by us.

“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 debt security 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 debt security, 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 debt securities: (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 debt securities, 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 debt securities or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless we default in the payment of the Redemption Price, and accrued interest. On or before the redemption date, we shall deposit with a paying agent, or the applicable Trustee, money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the debt securities to be redeemed on such date. If we elect to redeem less than all of the debt securities of a series, then the Trustee will select the particular debt securities of such series to be redeemed in a manner it deems appropriate and fair.

Defeasance

Each indenture provides that we (and, to the extent applicable, TWE and TW NY), at our option,

(a) will be Discharged from any and all obligations in respect of any series of debt securities (except in each case for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated senior debt securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust), or

(b) need not comply with the covenants described above under “—Certain Covenants,” and any other restrictive covenants described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities, the Guarantors will be released from the Guarantees and certain Events of Default (other than those arising out of the failure to pay interest or principal on the debt securities of a particular series and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization) will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to such series of debt securities,

in each case if we deposit with the Trustee, in trust, money or the equivalent in securities of the government which issued the currency in which the debt securities are denominated or government agencies backed by the full faith and credit of such government, or a combination thereof, which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments) of, and interest on, such series on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such series.

To exercise any such option, we are required, among other things, to deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause the Holders of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes and, in the case of a Discharge pursuant to clause (a) above, accompanied by a ruling to such effect received from or published by the United States Internal Revenue Service.

In addition, we are required to deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such deposit was not made by us with the intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of ours or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of ours or others.

Events of Default, Notice and Waiver

Each indenture provides that, if an Event of Default specified therein with respect to any series of debt securities issued thereunder shall have happened and be continuing, either the Trustee thereunder or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series (or 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities under such indenture, in the case of certain Events of Default affecting all series of debt securities issued under such indenture) may declare the principal of all the debt securities of such series to be due and payable.

“Events of Default” in respect of any series are defined in the indentures as being:


	•	default for 30 days in payment of any interest installment with respect to such series;

	•	default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on, or any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation with respect to, debt securities of such series when due at their stated maturity, by declaration or acceleration, when called for redemption or otherwise;


	•	default for 90 days after written notice to us (or TWE or TW NY, if applicable) by the Trustee thereunder or by Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty pertaining to debt securities of such series;

	•	certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization with respect to us or any Material Subsidiary of ours which is organized under the laws of the United States or any political sub-division thereof or the entry of an order ordering the winding up or liquidation of our affairs; and

	•	any Guarantee ceasing to be, or asserted by any Guarantor as not being, in full force and effect, enforceable according to its terms, except to the extent contemplated by the applicable indenture.

Any additions, deletions or other changes to the Events of Default which will be applicable to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities.

Each indenture provides that the Trustee thereunder will, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the debt securities of any series issued under such indenture, give to the Holders of the debt securities of such series notice of all uncured and unwaived defaults known to it; provided, however, that, except in the case of default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the debt securities of such series, the Trustee thereunder will be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the debt securities of such series. The term “default” for the purpose of this provision means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of such series.

Each indenture contains provisions entitling the Trustee under such indenture, subject to the duty of the Trustee during an Event of Default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Holders of the debt securities before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the applicable indenture at the request of Holders of such debt securities.

Each indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series issued under such indenture may direct the time, method and place of conducting proceedings for remedies available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of such series, subject to certain conditions.

In certain cases, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive, on behalf of the Holders of all debt securities of such series, any past default or Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of such series except, among other things, a default not theretofore cured in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the senior debt securities of such series or payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligations with respect to such senior debt securities.

Each indenture includes a covenant that we will file annually with the Trustee a certificate of no default or specifying any default that exists.

Modification of the Indentures

We and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of the debt securities issued under the indenture governing such debt securities, enter into indentures supplemental to the applicable indenture for, among others, one or more of the following purposes:

(1) to evidence the succession of another Person to us, TWE or TW NY and the assumption by such successor of our company’s, TWE’s or TW NY’s obligations under the applicable indenture and the debt securities of any series or the Guarantees relating thereto;

(2) to add to the covenants of our company, TWE or TW NY, or to surrender any rights or powers of our company, TWE or TW NY, for the benefit of the Holders of debt securities of any or all series issued under such indenture;

(3) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the applicable indenture which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under such indenture;

(4) to add to the applicable indenture any provisions that may be expressly permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or “the Act,” excluding the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2) of the Act as in effect at the date as of which the applicable indenture was executed or any corresponding provision in any similar federal statute hereafter enacted;

(5) to establish the form or terms of any series of debt securities to be issued under the applicable indenture, to provide for the issuance of any series of debt securities and/or to add to the rights of the Holders of debt securities;

(6) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of any successor Trustee with respect to one or more series of debt securities or to add or change any of the provisions of the applicable indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by one or more trustees in accordance with the applicable indenture;

(7) to provide any additional Events of Default;

(8) to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities; provided that the uncertificated securities are issued in registered form for certain federal tax purposes;

(9) to provide for the terms and conditions of converting those debt securities that are convertible into Class A common stock, Class B common stock or another such similar security;

(10) to secure any series of debt securities pursuant to the applicable indenture’s limitation on liens;

(11) to add additional guarantors in respect of the debt securities;

(12) to make any change necessary to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the applicable indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Act; and

(13) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the debt securities.

No supplemental indenture for the purpose identified in clauses (2), (3), (5) or (7) above may be entered into if to do so would adversely affect the rights of the Holders of debt securities of any series issued under the same indenture in any material respect.

Each indenture contains provisions permitting us and the Trustee under such indenture, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series issued under such indenture to be affected voting as a single class, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the applicable indenture or modifying the rights of the Holders of the debt securities of such series to be affected, except that no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the Holders of affected debt securities, among other things:

(1) change the maturity of the principal of, or the maturity of any premium on, or any installment of interest on, any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount or the interest or any premium of any such debt securities, or change the method of computing the amount of principal or interest on any such debt securities on any date or change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any debt securities or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity of principal or premium, as the case may be;

(2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of any such debt securities the consent of whose Holders is required for any supplemental indenture, waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the applicable indenture or certain defaults under the applicable indenture;

(3) modify any of the provisions of the applicable indenture related to (i) the requirement that the Holders of debt securities issued under such indenture consent to certain amendments of the applicable indenture, (ii) the waiver of past defaults and (iii) the waiver of certain covenants, except to increase the percentage of Holders required to make such amendments or grant such waivers;

(4) impair or adversely affect the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, such senior debt securities on or after the maturity of such debt securities; or

(5) amend or modify the terms of any of the Guarantees in a manner adverse to the Holders.

In addition, the subordinated indenture provides that we may not make any change in the terms of the subordination of the subordinated debt securities of any series in a manner adverse in any material respect to the Holders of any series of subordinated debt securities without the consent of each Holder of subordinated debt securities that would be adversely affected.

The Trustee

The Bank of New York is the Trustee under each indenture. The Trustee is a depository for funds and performs other services for, and transacts other banking business with, us in the normal course of business. The Bank of New York is also the trustee under the senior indenture governing the senior debt securities of TWE.

Governing Law

The indentures will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Global Securities

We may issue debt securities through global securities. A global security is a security, typically held by a depositary, that represents the beneficial interests of a number of purchasers of the security. If we do issue global securities, the following procedures will apply.

We will deposit global securities with the depositary identified in the prospectus supplement. After we issue a global security, the depositary will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of persons who have accounts with the depositary. These account Holders are known as “participants.” The underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Only a participant or a person who holds an interest through a participant may be the beneficial owner of a global security. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary and its participants.

We and the Trustee will treat the depositary or its nominee as the sole owner or Holder of the debt securities represented by a global security. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by the global security registered in their names. They also will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or Holders of the debt securities.

Principal, any premium and any interest payments on debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee as the registered owner of the global security. None of us, any of the Trustees or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global security or the maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary, upon receipt of any payments, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the depositary’s records. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global security will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street names,” and will be the responsibility of the participants.

If the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within ninety days, we will issue registered securities in exchange for the global security. In addition, we may at any time in our sole discretion determine not to have any of the debt securities of a series represented by global securities. In that event, we will issue debt securities of that series in definitive form in exchange for the global securities.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT WARRANTS

The following description of the terms of the debt warrants sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt warrants to which any prospectus supplement may relate. We may issue debt warrants for the purchase of senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. Debt warrants may be issued independently or together with debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from any such offered debt securities. Each series of debt warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the debt warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of debt warrants. The following summary of certain provisions of the debt warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the warrant agreement that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the offering of such debt warrants.

The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of debt warrants will describe the terms of such debt warrants, including the following:


	•	the title of such debt warrants;

	•	the offering price for such debt warrants, if any;

	•	the aggregate number of such debt warrants;

	•	the designation and terms of the debt securities purchasable upon exercise of such debt warrants;

	•	if applicable, the designation and terms of the debt securities with which such debt warrants are issued and the number of such debt warrants issued with each such debt security;

	•	if applicable, the date from and after which such debt warrants and any debt securities issued therewith will be separately transferable;

	•	the principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of a debt warrant and the price at which such principal amount of debt securities may be purchased upon exercise (which price may be payable in cash, securities or other property);

	•	the date on which the right to exercise such debt warrants shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

	•	if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such debt warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

	•	information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;

	•	the currency or currency units in which the offering price, if any, and the exercise price are payable;


	•	if applicable, a discussion of material United States federal income tax considerations;

	•	the antidilution or adjustment provisions of such debt warrants, if any;

	•	the redemption or call provisions, if any, applicable to such debt warrants; and

	•	any additional terms of such debt warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of such debt warrants.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may offer and sell the securities in any one or more of the following ways:

	•	through agents on a best-efforts basis; or

	•	otherwise through a combination of any of the above methods of sale.

Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. The prospectus supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including:


	•	the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the securities;

	•	any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

	•	any public offering or purchase price and any discounts or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers;

	•	the method of distribution of the securities;

	•	the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into with the underwriters, brokers or dealers; and

	•	any other information we think is important.

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account. The securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions:


	•	at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

	•	at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

	•	at prices related to such prevailing market prices;

	•	at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

	•	at negotiated prices.

Such sales may be effected:


	•	in transactions on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

	•	in transactions in the over-the-counter market;


	•	in block transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;

	•	through the writing of options; or

	•	through other types of transactions.

The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the securities offered will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discount or concession allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made, by us directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery at a future date. Institutional investors with which these contracts may be made include, among others:


	•	commercial and savings banks;

	•	insurance companies;

	•	pension funds;

	•	investment companies; and

	•	educational and charitable institutions.

In all cases, these purchasers must be approved by us. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that (a) the purchase of the securities must not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to which that purchaser is subject, and (b) if the securities are also being sold to underwriters, we must have sold to these underwriters the securities not subject to delayed delivery. Underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents used by us in any offering of securities under this prospectus may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us, TWE and TW NY or other affiliates of ours in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed by us for certain expenses.

Subject to any restrictions relating to debt securities in bearer form, any securities initially sold outside the United States may be resold in the United States through underwriters, dealers or otherwise.

Any underwriters to which offered securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but those underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time.

The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering.

If more than 10 percent of the net proceeds of any offering of securities made under this prospectus will be received by members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which we refer to in this prospectus as “FINRA,” participating in the offering or by affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA members, the offering will be conducted in accordance with NASD Conduct Rule 2710(h). The maximum compensation we will pay to underwriters in connection with any offering of the securities will not exceed 8% of the maximum proceeds of such offering.

To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
