copy of such Software; provided that, in each case, such Software exists in the
same form in which it existed as of the Closing. Following such three-month
period, for an additional two-year period, each Group shall use reasonable
efforts to supply a copy of such Software to the requesting Group.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Party in possession of the
licensed Software need only furnish a copy of such software in the form in which
it existed as of the Closing and in no event shall a Party be required to
furnish to the other Party any upgrades, updates, enhancements or other
modifications to the licensed Software.
2.5 Subsequent Derivative Works. After the Closing, a Group creating
a Derivative Work of Software licensed from another Group shall own all rights
in and to the particular modifications, additions or changes made to such
Software by the creating Group, subject to the intellectual property rights of
the licensing Group. No license is granted hereunder to such modifications,
additions or changes by the Group creating such a Derivative Work to the Group
that owns the Software on which such Derivative Work is based and the Group
creating such a Derivative Work shall not, by virtue of creating any Derivative
Work, gain any greater rights in and to such licensed Software than are
expressly granted pursuant to this Agreement.
2.6 Confidentiality of Software. Each Group shall treat any source
code for Software owned by the other Group as Proprietary Information of the
other Group and shall hold it in confidence in accordance with the terms of
Section 3.4.
2.7 No Contravention Of Existing License Agreements. Nothing in this
Agreement, the TWE Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement changes,
alters, limits or expands any current rights that any TWE Broadband Member or
any TWE Non-Broadband Member may have been granted as of the Closing by any
Person to reproduce, distribute, display or otherwise use Software. For purposes
of clarity, the Parties understand and agree that the purpose of the Software
licenses granted herein is to allow to continue after Closing certain incidental
uses by one Group of the other Group's Software
9
<PAGE>
which have taken place in the Groups prior to Closing and neither Group shall
seek to use any license to Software granted hereunder to exploit Software in a
manner that was not granted prior to the Closing.

information concerning the provision of services to customers by either the TWE
Broadband Group or the TWE Non-Broadband Group, including without limitation,
customer contact information, projections, plans and user data, shall remain
owned by the Group providing such services and shall be deemed "Customer-Related

and subject to rights of Third Parties and licenses in effect as of the Closing,
effective immediately following the Closing, Holdco hereby grants, and agrees to

3.4 Confidentiality Obligations. With respect to Proprietary
Information owned by the other Group, each Group shall:
3.4.1 restrict disclosure of such Proprietary Information to
its employees, contractors, Affiliates and advisors with a need to know

writing, may be used or disclosed and then only to the extent of such agreement.
3.6 Compelled Production. The restrictions concerning the use or
disclosure of Proprietary Information contained in Section 3.4 shall not
preclude a member of either Group, on the good faith advice of counsel, from
complying with applicable law or other demand under lawful process, including a
discovery request in a civil litigation or from a governmental agency or
official, if the member first gives the Group owning the relevant Proprietary
Information prompt notice of the required disclosure and cooperates with the
owning Group, at the owning Group's sole expense, in seeking reasonable
protective arrangements with the party requiring disclosure under applicable law
or other demand under lawful process. In no event shall such cooperation require
any member of a Group to take any action which, on the advice of its counsel,
could result in the imposition of any sanctions or other penalties against that
member.

terms of this Agreement, no member of any Group is required to furnish any

Agreement, the TWE Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement changes,
alters, limits or expands any current rights that any TWE Broadband Member or
any TWE Non-Broadband Member may have been granted as of the Closing by any
Person to use Proprietary Information. For purposes of clarity, the Parties
understand and agree that the purpose of the licenses to use Proprietary
Information granted herein is to allow to continue after Closing certain
incidental uses by one Group of the other Group's Proprietary Information which
have taken place in the Groups prior to Closing and neither Group shall seek to
use any license to Proprietary Information granted hereunder to exploit
Proprietary Information in a manner that was not granted prior to the Closing.

as of the Closing by any Person to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform or
otherwise use Content.

<PAGE>
Patents are used in the TWE Non-Broadband Business as of the Closing, a
nonexclusive, fully paid-up, worldwide, perpetual, non-sublicensable (except as

and all products and services in the conduct of the TWE Broadband Business.

6. JOINTLY OWNED PATENTS
6.1 Rights as Joint Owners. Each of Holdco (and each other TWE
Non-Broadband Member) and TWE (and each other TWE Broadband Member) shall have
the right to (i) use and exploit the Joint Patents, (ii) subject to the rights
set forth in Section 6.3, license the Joint Patents to Third Parties on a
non-exclusive basis and (iii) subject to the prior written consent of the other
Group, transfer its ownership interest in any or all Joint Patents to any Third
Party provided that such Third Party agrees in writing to the provisions of
Section 6, in each case without restriction and without the obligation to
account to the other Group for compensation or profits derived therefrom.
6.2 Obtaining Patent Protection. With respect to any Joint Patents,
Holdco shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prepare and file patent
applications on behalf of both Parties and to prosecute same. Prior to the
contemplated filing, Holdco shall submit a substantially completed draft of such
patent applications to TWE for approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event of an imminent statutory bar to
patenting, Holdco shall have the right to file a patent application, for the
invention on which a patent would be barred, without first receiving approval
from TWE, in order to preserve the patent rights to such invention. Holdco and
TWE shall equally bear the reasonable costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting
and maintaining any Joint Patents. Should Holdco not wish to prepare, file,
prosecute, maintain or issue any patent application for a Joint Patent, or
maintain a patent issuing from any such patent applications, in any particular
country, Holdco shall grant TWE any necessary authority to file, prosecute,
maintain or issue such patent application, or maintain such Patent, in the
14
<PAGE>
name of TWE. Likewise, should TWE not wish to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain
or issue any patent application for a Joint Patent, or maintain a patent issuing
from such patent applications, in any particular country, TWE shall grant Holdco
any necessary authority to prepare, file, prosecute, issue and maintain such
patent application, or maintain such a patent, in the name of Holdco.
6.3 Infringement by Third Parties. Should either Holdco or TWE
become aware of any infringement or misappropriation of Joint Patents, such
Party shall communicate promptly the details to the other Party and the Parties
will meet and confer regarding any enforcement action with respect to such Joint
Patent. If the Parties decide jointly to bring an action for infringement or
misappropriation of each Joint Patent, the Parties shall equally share all
actual and reasonable expenses associated herewith (except for the value of the
time of each Party's employees in connection with the action; each Party shall
alone bear its employee expenses) and any resulting damages or compensation,
including any amounts paid in settlement. If the Parties decide not to jointly
bring such an action, either Party or any of its Affiliates may, at its own
expense (including, as the Parties shall agree on a case by case basis,
compensation, if any, of the other Party for the value of time of the other
Party's employees as reasonably required, in connection with the action),
enforce the Joint Patent against any Third Party infringer or misappropriating
Person without the consent of the other Party, subject to the following: (i)
neither Party shall have any obligation to be joined as a party plaintiff in
such action without its prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld
in its sole discretion, regardless of whether such joinder is required in order
to confer jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the action is to be brought;
(ii) if either Party brings any such action on its own, including cases in which
the other Party consents to be named as party plaintiff, the Party bringing the
action agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party for all
losses, costs, liabilities and expenses arising out of or related to the
bringing of such action; and (iii) the Party bringing such action shall not take
any action, or make any admissions, that may affect the validity or
enforceability of any Joint Patents without the prior written consent of the
other Party. (For avoidance of doubt, the bringing of an action for infringement
or misappropriation of a Joint Patent that results in an adverse judgment shall
not be deemed such an action affecting the validity or enforceability of such
Joint Patent). If the enforcing Party or an Affiliate thereof recovers any
damages or compensation for any action the enforcing Party or such Affiliate
takes hereunder, including any settlement, the enforcing Party or such Affiliate
shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of such damages. If the Parties
cooperate in any such enforcement action, then any recovery of damages or
compensation shall be allocated pursuant to mutual agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, this Section shall not serve to restrict or in any way limit the
rights of each joint owner granted in Section 6.1.
7. TRADEMARKS.
7.1 Ownership of Trademarks. As between the TWE Non-Broadband Group
and the TWE Broadband Group, any Trademarks existing as of the Closing that:

Broadband Group pursuant to this Section 7.1.1 are referred to as "TWE Broadband
Group Trademarks"; and

be owned by the TWE Non-Broadband Group. Trademarks set forth on Schedule E, to
the extent they are owned by or licensed to either Group as of the Closing,
shall also be allocated to the TWE Non-Broadband Group. Trademarks owned by the
TWE Non-Broadband Group pursuant to this Section 7.1.2 are referred to as "TWE
Non-Broadband Group Trademarks."
7.2 Allocation of Trademarks Within a Group. Each Group may allocate
ownership of Trademarks owned by that Group to the appropriate member within
that Group.
7.3 No rights in TWE Non-Broadband Group Trademarks. For the
avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any
Ancillary Agreement or in the TWE Distribution Agreement, all Trademarks other
than the TWE Broadband Group Trademarks shall be exclusively owned by the TWE
Non-Broadband Group. Nothing in this Agreement, the TWE Distribution Agreement
or any Ancillary Agreement changes, alters, limits or expands any current rights
that any TWE Broadband Member or any TWE Non-Broadband Member may have been
granted as of the Closing by any party to use Trademarks.

Service Mark Assignment, or the Copyright and Technology Assignment,
no rights or licenses under any IPR Futures are granted pursuant to this
Agreement, the TWE Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
8.3 Issues as to Ownership. In the event that an issue should arise
under this Agreement as to the ownership of, or license rights in, particular
Software, Proprietary Information, Copyrights, Content, Patents, Trademarks or
IPR Futures, the Parties shall discuss and negotiate reasonably in good faith to
resolve any such issue.
8.4 License of Intellectual Property Relating to the Mystro
Business. To the extent the Mystro Patents, Mystro Software and the Mystro

without the right to sublicense, to the Mystro Patents, the Mystro Software and
the Mystro Proprietary Information.

and each of its Subsidiaries' entire right, title and interest, to, in and under
all TWE Non-Broadband IP Licenses, in accordance with the terms of such licenses
and only to the extent TWE has the right to do so (subject to its obligations in
Section 17.3.1), together with any and all rights
17
<PAGE>
and licenses granted to the TWE Non-Broadband Group pursuant to this Agreement.
Immediately after the assignment to Holdco set forth in this Section 9.2, TWE
and the other TWE Broadband Members shall no longer retain any rights or
licenses granted to the TWE Non-Broadband Group pursuant to this Agreement.
9.3 Assignment of TWE Broadband IP Licenses. Holdco, on behalf of
itself and each of its Subsidiaries, does hereby assign, convey, transfer and
deliver to TWE effectively immediately following the Closing, all of Holdco's
and each of its Subsidiaries' entire right, title and interest, to, in and under
all TWE Broadband IP Licenses, in accordance with the terms of such licenses and
only to the extent Holdco has the right to do so (subject to its obligations in
Section 17.3.1), together with any and all rights and licenses granted to the
TWE Broadband Group pursuant to this Agreement. Immediately after the assignment
to TWE set forth in this Section 9.3, Holdco and the other TWE Non-Broadband

9.4 Sublicense of TWE Non-Broadband Technology Licenses. Effective
immediately following the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Holdco hereby grants to TWE a non-exclusive, fully paid-up,
worldwide, perpetual, non-sublicensable (except as provided in Section 10.2),
non-assignable (except as provided in Section 10.1), royalty-free and
irrevocable sublicense to use TWE Non-Broadband Technology Licenses that were

terms set forth in such license agreements and only to the extent that Holdco
has the right to do so (subject to its obligations in Section 17.3.2 herein).
9.5 Sublicense of TWE Broadband Technology Licenses. Effective

hereby grants to Holdco a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, worldwide, perpetual,
non-sublicensable (except as provided in Section 10.2), non-assignable (except
as set forth as provided in Section 10.1), royalty-free and irrevocable
sublicense to use TWE Broadband Technology Licenses that were used in the TWE

be required to assign
18
<PAGE>
to Holdco any TWE Non-Broadband IP Licenses under Section 9.2 or any other
intellectual property allocated to the TWE Non-Broadband Group pursuant to this
Agreement because Holdco will obtain control of such TWE Non-Broadband IP
License or other intellectual property through equity ownership of that
Subsidiary. Accordingly, to the extent that Holdco obtains as a Subsidiary a
Subsidiary of TWE, which Subsidiary would, but for the operation of this Section
9.6, have assigned to Holdco its TWE Non-Broadband IP Licenses by operation of
Section 9.2 or other intellectual property by operation of the Copyright and
Technology Assignment, the Patent Assignment or the Trademark and Service Mark
Assignment, then the assignment of such rights, and only such rights, shall not

Assignment, the Patent Assignment, the Trademark and Service Mark Assignment or
Section 9.2. Otherwise, the assignments of this Agreement are unaffected by this
Section 9.6.

event that a particular TWE Non-Broadband IP License cannot be assigned by TWE

obligations set forth in Section 17.3.1, then, with respect to such a TWE
Non-Broadband IP License that is
9.7.1 an Outbound TWE Non-Broadband IP License, TWE hereby
irrevocably appoints Holdco as TWE's exclusive agent for administering such
Outbound TWE Non-Broadband IP License and hereby irrevocably assigns to Holdco
any and all right, title and interest in and to all royalties and other payments
to be paid to TWE pursuant to such Outbound TWE Non-Broadband IP License. TWE
shall, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, at any time without
charge to Holdco, sign all papers, take all rightful oaths, and do all acts
which Holdco believes to be necessary, desirable or convenient to effect such
appointment and assignment, including sending such letters as Holdco may request
directing licensees under such Outbound TWE Non-Broadband IP Licenses to make
payments to Holdco.

the fullest extent permitted by such Inbound TWE Non-Broadband IP License,
exercise its rights for the maximum benefit and protection of Holdco, and TWE,
to the fullest extent permitted without jeopardizing Holdco's license rights
under such Inbound TWE Non-Broadband IP License, hereby irrevocably appoints
Holdco as an agent for TWE under such Inbound TWE Non-Broadband IP License with
full authority to act on behalf of TWE to ensure that the TWE Non-Broadband
Group enjoys the maximum benefit and protection of such Inbound TWE
Non-Broadband IP License. TWE shall, on behalf of itself and each of its
Subsidiaries, at any time without charge to Holdco, sign all papers, take all
rightful oaths, and do all acts which Holdco believes to be necessary, desirable
or convenient to effect such appointment, including sending such letters as
Holdco may request advising licensors of such appointment.
9.8 Failure of Assignment of TWE Broadband IP Licenses. In the event

believes to be necessary, desirable or convenient to effect such appointment and
assignment, including sending such letters as TWE may request directing
licensees under such Outbound TWE Broadband IP Licenses to make payments to TWE.
9.8.2 an Inbound TWE Broadband IP License, Holdco shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by such Inbound TWE Broadband IP License, exercise
its rights for the maximum benefit and protection of TWE, and Holdco, to the
fullest extent permitted without jeopardizing TWE's license rights under such

for Holdco under such Inbound TWE Broadband IP License with full authority to
act on behalf of Holdco to ensure that the TWE Broadband Group enjoys the
maximum benefit and protection of such Inbound TWE Broadband IP License. Holdco

licensors of such appointment.
9.9 Order of Precedence. In the event of any inconsistency between
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those of the Patent Assignment,
the Copyright and Technology Assignment, or the Trademark and the Service Mark
Assignment, the order of priority shall be first the Patent Assignment, the
Copyright and Technology Assignment, or the Trademark and Service Mark
Assignment, as applicable, and second this Agreement.
10. ASSIGNMENT/SUBLICENSING
10.1 Assignments.
10.1.1 Neither Party shall assign its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party,
unless such assignment is to a Person who is or becomes an Affiliate of such

enforceable by the successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of
each of the Parties.
10.1.2 Except as provided in Section 10.2 below and subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as
applicable, each Party shall have the right to assign, transfer, convey, license
or use in any manner, any intellectual property, including Software, Proprietary
Information, Patents, Content and Trademarks, owned by such Party, whether as a
result of allocations, assignments or transfers set forth in or contemplated by
this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise.

<PAGE>
10.2 Sublicense Rights. Neither Party shall sublicense any of the
intellectual property rights licensed to it pursuant to Sections 2.3, 3.3 or 5.2
hereof without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless such
sublicense is to a Person who is or becomes an Affiliate of such Party; provided
that, the sublicense granted to such Person shall only be effective for so long
as such Person remains an Affiliate of such Party.
11. INFRINGEMENT
TWE and Holdco agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in
the protection and enforcement of the intellectual property licensed to the
other Party pursuant to this Agreement. Licensor may, in its sole discretion,
commence or prosecute and effect the disposition of any claims or suits relative
to the infringement, misappropriation and/or unlawful use of the licensed
intellectual property in its own name and may, with Licensee's permission, such
permission not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, join Licensee as a party
in the prosecution of such claims or suits. Licensee agrees to reasonably
cooperate with Licensor in connection with any such claims or suits and
undertakes to furnish reasonable assistance to Licensor in the conduct of all
proceedings in regard thereto. Both Parties shall promptly notify the other
party in writing of any infringement, misappropriation or illegal uses by others
of the licensed intellectual property.
12. NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS
ALL SOFTWARE, PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, PATENTS AND CONTENT
COVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED "AS IS," WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT,
ASSISTANCE, MAINTENANCE OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHATSOEVER.
EACH GROUP ASSUMES TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR ITS USE OF
ANY SOFTWARE, PATENTS, PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OR CONTENT COVERED BY THIS
AGREEMENT. NEITHER GROUP MAKES, AND EACH GROUP EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY WARRANTY THAT SUCH SOFTWARE,
PATENTS, PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OR CONTENT IS "ERROR FREE."
13. GOVERNING LAW; IP CLAIMS
13.1 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Except as otherwise
provided herein, TWE and Holdco, each on behalf of itself and the members of its
respective Group, hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or absent
subject matter jurisdiction in that court, the state courts of
21
<PAGE>
the State of New York located in New York County for all actions, suits or
proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement.
13.2 Intellectual Property Rights. Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement, the TWE Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, in no
event shall any claims, disputes or controversies between the Parties which
potentially concern the validity, enforceability, infringement or
misappropriation of any intellectual property rights, including any rights
protectable under intellectual property law anywhere throughout the world such
as Patent, Copyright, trade secret and Trademark law, be subject to resolution
by arbitration.
13.3 Equitable Remedies. The Parties recognize that money damages
alone may not be an adequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of any
obligation hereunder involving intellectual property rights or either Party
exceeding the scope of its license and rights hereunder. The Parties therefore
agree that in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, by law or
otherwise, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief
against any such continued action by the other Parties.
13.4 Bankruptcy. This Agreement constitutes a license of
"intellectual property" within the meaning of Section 365(n) of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. If Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code
(or any successor provision) is applicable, and the trustee or
debtor-in-possession has rejected this Agreement and if the Licensee has elected
pursuant to Section 365(n) to retain its rights hereunder, then upon written
request of Licensee, to the extent Licensee is otherwise entitled hereunder, the
trustee or debtor-in-possession shall provide to Licensee any intellectual
property (including embodiments thereof) held or controlled by the trustee or
debtor-in-possession.
14. NOTICE
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices,
consents, approvals, waivers and the like made hereunder shall be in written
English addressed as provided below, shall reference this Agreement and shall be
sent by any of the following methods: (a) certified mail, postage-prepaid,
return-receipt requested, (b) a delivery service which requires proof of
delivery signed by the recipient or (c) properly-transmitted facsimile followed
by written confirmation in accordance with methods (a), (b) or first-class U.S.
mail. The date of notice shall be deemed to be the date it was received (in the
case of method (c) above, the date of notice shall be deemed to be the date that
the facsimile copy is received). A Party may change its address for notice by
written notice delivered in accordance with this Section 14.

believes are necessary, desirable or convenient to assign, convey, transfer and

or 9.3, and to record such assignments with the appropriate Governmental
Authorities, including without limitation, using reasonable efforts to seek
consent of any party to any such license for the assignment of the same to the
other Party. It is understood and agreed that neither Party shall be required to
24
<PAGE>

consent, including making any expenditures or accepting any material changes in
the terms of any license agreement for which consent is sought.
17.3.2 Assistance with Sublicense. TWE, on behalf of itself and

<PAGE>
17.7 Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement and
each Ancillary Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not
intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties any rights or remedies
hereunder and there are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement and neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall
provide any third person with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim
of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. No Party hereto shall have any right,
remedy or claim with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement to the extent such provision relates solely to the other Party hereto
or the members of such other party's respective Groups. No Party shall be
required to deliver any notice under this Agreement or under any Ancillary
Agreement to any other Party with respect to any matter in which such other
Party has no right, remedy or claim.
17.8 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement during the period of extension referred to
in the next sentence to the extent that any delay or failure in the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement results from
any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence,
such as acts of God, criminal or terrorist acts, acts of civil or military
authority, embargoes, epidemics, war, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions,
earthquakes, floods, unusually severe weather conditions, labor problems or
unavailability of parts, or, in the case of computer systems, any failure in
electrical or air conditioning equipment. In the event of any such excused
delay, the time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time
lost by reason of the delay, but in no event shall such period of extension
exceed 45 days.
17.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which

number of copies each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, the
Parties.
17.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable,
and in the event that any one or more provisions, or any portion thereof, are
deemed illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions or portions thereof,
as the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect unless the deletion of
such provision or portion thereof shall cause this Agreement to become
materially adverse to either Party, in which event the Parties shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to arrive at an accommodation that best
preserves for the Parties the benefits and obligations of the offending
provision or portion thereof.
17.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Ancillary
Agreements set forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties
as to the subject matter hereof and thereof and merge all prior discussions
between them. Neither of the Parties shall be bound by any warranties,
understandings or representations with respect to such subject matter other than
as expressly provided herein, in prior written agreements, or in a writing
executed with or subsequent to the execution of this Agreement by an authorized
representative of the Party to be bound thereby.

pursuant to Sections 2.3.2, 3.3.2 and 9.4 of the TWE Intellectual Property
Agreement.
ARTICLE II
TRANSFER FROM HOLDCO TO TWE
2.1 Assignment. Effective immediately following the Closing, Holdco, on
behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, does hereby assign, convey,
transfer and
I-2
<PAGE>
deliver (to the extent not already assigned pursuant to Section 9.3
of the TWE Intellectual Property Agreement) to TWE, its successors, assigns and
legal representatives or nominees, Holdco's and each of its Subsidiaries' entire
rights, title and interest, for all countries, jurisdictions and political
entities of the world, along with the right to sue for past infringement, and
collect damages therefor, to and in all (i) TWE Broadband Group Content (the
"Broadband Transferred Content"), (ii) TWE Broadband Group Proprietary
Information and (iii) TWE Broadband Group Software (together with the

be construed as limiting Holdco's license rights in any TWE Broadband Group
Proprietary Information or TWE Broadband Group Software licensed to Holdco
pursuant to Sections 2.3.1, 3.3.1 or 9.5 of the TWE Intellectual Property
Agreement.
2.2 Further Assurances. Holdco, on behalf of itself and each of its
Subsidiaries, agrees that following the Closing, upon request it will, at any
time without charge to TWE, sign all papers, take all rightful oaths, and do all
acts which may be necessary, desirable or convenient (as determined in TWE's
sole discretion) for vesting title to the Broadband Transferred Content and
Broadband Transferred Technology in TWE (or the TWE Broadband Group Member
designated by TWE), its successors, assigns and legal representatives or
nominees, including but not limited to any acts which may be necessary,
desirable or convenient for claiming said rights and for securing and
maintaining the Broadband Transferred Content or the Broadband Transferred

power and authority in place and stead of Holdco and in the name of Holdco or in

Technology transferred to TWE pursuant to this Agreement, including but not
limited to, cooperating fully with TWE in connection with any claims or suits
brought by or against TWE relating to the Broadband Transferred Content and
Broadband Transferred Technology transferred to TWE pursuant to this Agreement.
2.3 No Retention of Records. Holdco agrees that once it fulfills its
obligations under paragraph 2.1, it will not maintain any copies or records of
the Broadband Transferred Content or Broadband Transferred Technology, except
for such Broadband Transferred Technology for which it has a license pursuant to
Sections 2.3.1, 3.3.1 and 9.5 of the TWE Intellectual Property Agreement.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS
3.1 The Parties recognize that one or more Subsidiaries of TWE will no
longer be subsidiaries of TWE following the Closing but will become Subsidiaries
of Holdco. Such Subsidiaries shall not be required to assign to Holdco any
Non-Broadband Transferred Content or Non-Broadband Transferred Technology
because Holdco will obtain control of such Non-Broadband Transferred Content and
Non-Broadband Transferred Technology through equity ownership of that
Subsidiary. Accordingly, to the extent that Holdco obtains as a Subsidiary a
Subsidiary of TWE, which Subsidiary would, but for the operation of this
Agreement, have assigned to Holdco its Non-Broadband Transferred Copyrights and
Non-Broadband Transferred Technology by operation of this Agreement, then the
assignment of such rights, and only such rights, shall not be deemed to have
been made by operation of this Agreement. Otherwise the assignments of this
Agreement are unaffected by this Section 3.1.
3.2 All Transaction Expenses incurred by either of the Parties in
connection with or related to this Agreement shall be paid as set forth in
Section 16 of the TWE Intellectual Property Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has caused this Agreement to
be duly executed on its behalf by one of its duly authorized officers as of the
date first written above.

Subsidiaries, agrees that upon request it will, at any time without charge to
TWE, sign all papers, take all rightful oaths, and do all acts which may be
necessary, desirable or convenient (as determined in TWE's discretion) for
vesting title to the Existing TWE Broadband Group Patents transferred pursuant
to this Agreement in TWE (or the TWE Broadband Group Member designated by TWE),
its successors, assigns and legal representatives or nominees, including, but
not limited to, any acts which may be necessary, desirable or convenient for

ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 The Parties recognize that one or more Subsidiaries of TWE will no
longer be subsidiaries of TWE following the Closing but will become Subsidiaries
of Holdco. Such Subsidiaries shall not be required to assign to Holdco any TWE
Existing Non-Broadband Patents because Holdco will obtain control of such TWE
Existing Non-Broadband Patents through equity ownership of that Subsidiary.
Accordingly, to the extent that Holdco obtains as a Subsidiary a Subsidiary of
TWE, which Subsidiary would, but for the operation of this Agreement, have
assigned to Holdco its TWE Existing Non-Broadband Patents by operation of this
Agreement, then the assignment of such rights, and only such rights, shall not
be deemed to have been made by operation of this Agreement. Otherwise the
assignments of this Agreement are unaffected by this Section 4.1.
