Green Street Ithaca, NY 14850 Dear Ms. Holcomb: Your community has granted a franchise to provide cable service to a subsidiary of Time Warner Inc. ("TWI") (which subsidiary does business as Time Warner Cable). Previously, we wrote to inform you of the planned stock-for-stock merger of TWI and America Online, Inc. ("AOL"), in which each of TWI and AOL would merge with subsidiaries of a newly formed holding company, AOL Time Warner Inc. This is to advise you that on January 11, 2001 the merger of TWI and AOL closed. As a result of the merger, both TWI and AOL are now wholly owned subsidiaries of the new company, AOL Time Warner Inc. I would like to take this opportunity to assure you again that following this merger the franchisee will continue to be bound by its obligations under the Franchise, subject to applicable state and federal law. If you have any questions, or if I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. We value the fine relationship we have with your community, and look forward to continuing to do business with you in the future. Very truly yours, Mary L.

State Street Ithaca, NY 14850 Dear Tom: We have received the latest proposal from TW from the last meeting between the Company and representatives of the Consortium. This letter is to make certain that both sides understand the access proposal. We understand the proposal which is attached is based on the number of subscribers in the Consortium as of January 8, 2001. The column entitled"2000 Franchise Fees Paid"is the actual money paid to the communities by TW in the year 2000 and the column next to it is the amount that would be paid were the franchise fee to increase to five percent (5%). The column on the spreadsheet entitled"PEG OPS Costs Allocation"results in the figure of$155,794 which the note to the column states is the annual employee cost at current staff levels. We understand this figure reflects the total amount of annual employee costs that TW is proposing the Consortium subscribers will be responsible for at current staff levels. The column entitled"Amount Required by Municipality" is the amount needed to fund access combined with the current franchise fee revenue. The "Additional Fee Minus PEG"column is the amount the municipalities would receive with a five percent (5%) franchise fee less the amount required to fund access which results in positive numbers except for the City of Ithaca. The first of the final two columns is the calculation based on the"Additional Fee Minus PEG" column divided by the number of subscribers in each community. We have a few questions regarding the above. First, are there any other direct or indirect employee-related costs that the Consortium members would be responsible for in the PEG operation? Second, we note on page 90 of the proposal dated November 17, 1999 (attached) in answer to question six, PEGASYS personnel expenses including salaries and benefits are estimated at $118,664 for year 3 (2001). This is $37,000 less than the current proposal. Would you please explain this large difference. It is our assumption that all other costs would be covered by Time Warner. "An Equal Opportunity Employer with a commitment to workforce diversification." �J } Mr. Tom Doheny February 7, 2001 Page 2 We thank you for your time and effort and hope we can reach an agreement in a timely manner. Sincerely, H. Matthys Van Cort Director of Planning & Development Attachment 4. What technical support services does the applicant propose for PEG access users? Time Warner Cable proposes to continue to provide staff technical support at the same level that is presently being provided with the cost thereof supported by franchise fees in accordance with federal law. 5. Indicate the level of funding that will be committed for the initial equipment and replacement of equipment for PEG access programming for each year of the projected ten years. As outlined in response to Question I above, Time Warner Cable proposes to replace and upgrade PEG access equipment on an as needed basis throughout the term of the franchise. Accordingly, it is not possible at this time to project actual cost in any given year. 6. Indicate the level of funding for staff support that will be committed for PEG access services for each year of the projected ten years. The following is the projected PEGASYS personnel expenses including salaries and benefits. To the extent that funding for staff support is a franchise fee under federal law, Time Warner Cable reserves the right to offset such costs against the franchise fee. Year One 5109,710.00 Year Two $114,400.00 Year Three $118,664.00 Year Four $123,380.00 Year Five $128,315.00 Year Six $133,445.00 Year Seven $138,785.00 Year Eight $144,335.00 Year Nine 5150,110.00 Year Ten $156.120.00 Total $1,317,264.00 7. List additional publicity support and services the Company would provide for PEG access. A recent survey of subscribers indicated thae an overwhelming majority were aware of PEG access programming, accordingly, Time Warner Cable anticipates continuing to provide a PEGASYS web page which appears to effectively publicize PEG access in the communities. The PEGASYS web site provides information including: What is PEGASYS? Production Facilities 90 TIME WARNER CABLE \f f February 15, 2001 H. Matthys Van Cort Director of Planning & Development City Of Ithaca 108 East Green Street Ithaca, New York 14850 Dear Mr. Van Cort, I am writing to respond to your letter dated February 7, 2001 regarding the proposal Time Warner Cable presented at the negotiating meeting on January 24th. With respect to your first question, in accordance with federal law, all PEG staff and operating costs will be paid for from Consortium franchise fees. These costs would include salaries and any other wages, benefits, training, travel, uniforms, recruiting etc.. Any costs associated with personnel or PEG operations. Regarding the RFRP, our projections on page 90 of our response were based on less staff support than the amount included in our recent proposal. We believe the facility could be operated to fulfill community needs with less staff, however, we based our January 24 proposal on current staffing. As we have mentioned during negotiations the level of staff support is dependent on the service the Consortium desires to provide to their communities. Recognizing that in the past staffing has not been the responsibility of the franchising authorities, we are open to discussing options and solutions for staffing and believe the range provided in our informal proposal and in the RFRP provide a benchmark for the Consortium to consider for funding.

During the course of the past year the focus and scope of the fiber optics based I-net has changed considerably as the technical leadership and networking requirements of the various participants have also changed. As Director of the Tompkins County Information Technology Services Department (ITS), I have been reluctant to provide specific financial commitments to this project, or provide any project information to the members of the Tompkins County Board of Representatives, until the major proposed components of the project are finalized. It now appears that at this stage of the negotiations the primary configuration of the proposed fiber optics loop and various extensions have been agreed upon by the remaining parties participating in the process. Tompkins County sites currently proposed for fiber drops include the Downtown Complex(Annex C), Old Library, Mental Health, Tompkins County Library, Human Services Building, Department of Motor Vehicles, Public Health, and Public Safety. Decisions leading to the inclusion of County sites on this list were based on location (proximity to other proposed drops), estimated cost, application needs, and public ownership versus leased office space. As an example, the Public Works and Solid Waste sites were not included since these locations are not located within close proximity to other public facilities proposed for the fiber I-net. Therefore, the cost for extending the network to these sites would be the sole burden of the County and would not likely be justifiable from a cost-benefit perspective. The County's participation in the fiber I-net project can be separated into three general categories of proposed use. They include an expandable data network, the ability to network the County's primary I` I Jenniftr Kusznir-timewarn.doc Page 2 telephone switches (therefore eliminate local toll calls between these County facilities), and the ability to implement full motion, two way video between the Court House and Public Safety for video arraignment purposes. The project may also allow for the access of independent networks between the County, the City of Ithaca, BOCES, various local school districts, and other local municipalities for the purposes of sharing data and deploying applications. Currently, the Tompkins County ITS Department is committed to reserving $100,000 for the I-Net from the existing Geographic Information Systems(GIS)capital program for the purpose of deploying the bandwidth intensive GIS applications to the numerous county locations. Steve Whicher, the County Administrator, supports the use of allocated GIS capital funds for the implementation of this project. In addition, an alternative source of County funding may include a proposed new Capital Program that has been presented to the Board of Representatives in the last two years, but never acted upon due to the uncertainty of the outcome of the Time Warner negotiations. Attached is a copy of this Capital project proposal. Please be aware that funds for this proposed capital project are not currently available and would require a complete review within a future Tompkins County budgetary process. Also, the estimated project costs and funding sources detailed in this capital project request were generalized at the time of submittal (8/00), and will require more specificity if this capital program is submitted during the County's 2002 budget process. Please feel free to contact me with any comments. gpotter(dOmpkin s-co.org i r Jennifer Kusznir-timewarn.doc Page 3 Page 2 Time Warner I-Net Proposal February 22, 2001 �tN4`'oo CAPITAL PROJECT REQUEST Page t of t a .. rix Project Name: County System Network Upgrade Department: Info.Tech Services No. Budgeting Unit: 6100 Project Year: 2002 rolect escription: No. This project is intended to upgrade the existing Tompkins County Wide Area Network(WAN)connecting county and other public facilities with Fiber Optic technology. The major objective of this program is to implement a high-speed fiber optic communication network to expand capacity,improve reliability and performance,and to meet current and future technology needs.It has become increasingly apparent that the County's current WAN interconnections will create a bottleneck for future computing as the Criminal Information System(CIS-Net),Geographic Information Systems(GIS),and Assessment and County Clerk document imaging applications are deployed to their anticipated extent.The future WAN will require improved performance levels in order to adequately handle these multiple applications. In addition,the equipment installed in the recent telephone upgrade project includes the capability to network the County's numerous telephone switches with the proposed Fiber Optics technology. This would allow greater flexibility for maintenance activities and the procurement of telecommunication services,and the elimination of local Bell Atlantic fees between networked County facilities. Further refinement of the project scope will be required with the possibility of expanding the capital program based on the outcome of a proposed planning and needs assessment phase scheduled for the fall of 2000. The planning phase of this project will include participation from various community affiliates and members of the Partnership of Electronic Future(PEF),specifically the City of Ithaca,Ithaca City School District,and BOCES. Regional computer based network issues have also been raised as a primary concern for the Ithaca City School District,the City of Ithaca and other PEF members. Some members of these affiliates continue to rely on the existing Time-Warner INET co-axial infrastructure,but for numerous technical and maintenance reasons have identified the need to migrate off of the current INET plant. There is concern,along with possible opportunities,which have been raised during the current Time Warner franchise negotiations. It is anticipated that a community based fiber network will be incorporated as a topic in the franchise negotiations with the purpose of replacing and expanding the current INET plant. The overall costs and possible affiliate matching contributions for such a complex project have not been identified in detail.These discussions are ongoing and may take an additional year to fully resolve and to formalize a final project budget.

YES ,. 7- What is the project need in context of vision,goals and objectives of the department and of County government? The goal of this project is to provide County departments with adequate computer networking infrastructure and connectivity resources to meet the future needs of advanced applications deployed between numerous locations within Tompkins County. A secondary goal is to implement this project in cooperation with other municipalities and affiliates to assure a coordinated,cost effective community approach. Relationship to other capital/operational programs: This project will provide the necessary high-speed band width to effectively deploy applications between County facilities and other local government and service agency locations. These County applications include Criminal Justice Information Network(CIS-Net), County Clerk Electronic Document Imaging System(EDMS),Geographic Information System(GIS),telecommunications,and other proposed cooperative projects.

To: Ithaca Area Cable Consortium Members Date: Monday, April 02,2001 Subject: Time Warner RFRP Response The Ithaca area current cable operator, Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P., is seeking a renewal of its cable television franchise. The consortium has been negotiating informally with the company for some time. The informal process stopped and formal negotiations began as of March V. The procedures for the formal negotiations require that the public be.given an opportunity to review the request for renewal proposal prior to the public hearings. Our records indicate that all of the municipalities within the Consortium were sent copies of the Time Warner formal RFRP response in November of 1999. Unfortunately, the city was not given extra copies of the response by Time Warner, therefore we have no copies available for distribution to the consortium members. If a municipality is in need of a new copy, they can either contact Time Warner and request a new copy or they can request a copy from the City of Ithaca Planning Department. If any are requested, we will have the response copied commercially. Since the city does not have a budget allocation for this expense, the municipality receiving the copies will have to cover the cost of reproduction. Generally this process takes a minimum of 24 hours. If you do not want to purchase a copy of the document, a copy is available for viewing in the City Clerk's office. Please feel free to contact the city of Ithaca Planning Department should you have any questions.

Green Street Ithaca,NY 14850 Dear Ms. Holcomb: I wanted you to be aware that we are notifying customers of exciting changes in available cable packages and lineups taking effect August 1, 2001. 1 have attached a draft copy of our customer notification for your review and information; customers will receive their notices by July 1. This is the most significant enhancement to our programming lineup on the most-popular Standard level of service in many years. First of all, we are adding The Disney Channel to that package and eliminating the current charge that today's customers pay if they take it as a Premium movie channel. The Disney reputation for quality family-friendly programming is widely known. We are also adding three popular new cable networks to this Standard service: Oxygen,founded by Oprah Winfrey; SoapNet,which features and highlights soap operas and WE: Women's Entertainment, formerly Romance Classics,which features a lineup including movies targeted to women. Additionally, we are adding two channels, the Golf Channel and ESPN Classic Sports, that had previously been available on our Custom Choice Package to this Standard service. The other two services on that tier,Encore and Independent Film Channel, will be moved to our digital cable package because they carry some "R" rated content. Most customers will not see a change in their monthly payment as a result of these changes;some will see a decrease due to the elimination of charges for The Disney Channel. Other customers will see a nominal increase in the rate for our Standard package of$1.92/month to reflect the programming costs associated with all these new channels. The notice which is attached provides additional information on these new channels and also highlights our Digital Cable package which is quickly becoming our most popular programming selection. We at Time Warner Cable understand how important it is to offer our customers the best possible service and selections at the best possible price. We value our customers and believe they, in turn,receive great value from our services. We understand that any lineup change may generate questions from customers. Should you or your office receive any calls,please feel free to forward them to us. Our customer service representatives will be able to answer and resolve their questions or concern and can be contacted at 272-3456. If you have additional questions about these changes, please give me a call at 272-7875 ext. 3328. Sincer ly, Thomas P.

Green Street Ithaca,NY 14850 Dear Ms. Holcomb: Did you hear the good news? Road Runner, the high-speed Internet service provided in your community by Time Warner Cable, has been ranked "Highest in Customer Satisfaction Among High-Speed Internet Service Providers" in J. D. Power and Associates 2001 National Internet Service provider Residential Customer Satisfaction Study.sm The study included national, regional and local Internet Service Providers (ISPs), as well as cable and local telephone companies. We're delighted to be valued so highly by our customers. Our goal has always been to provide the best service and highest speed possible to our customers, and to be ranked highly by such a prestigious organization as J.D. Power and Associates means we're on the right track. Our customer care at all levels is clearly working well, as is the installation process,the reliability of our network and the entire customer experience with Road Runner. Now the challenge is to keep up the good work,and to build on our accomplishments. Our continued strong growth this year makes all of us at Road Runner very optimistic about the future. At this time,we are notifying our Road Runner customers of the first increase in the monthly price of this service since we have launched it. Effective October 1,the new monthly residential rate of$44.95/month will allow us to continue the technological upgrades and network expansions that have made Road Runner the most valued ISP in the country. We believe this new rate helps up to maintain the service quality our customers have come to expect, and is competitive with other high-speed services in the market. I reiterate that this is the first time we have ever adjusted our rates for service. Later this fall,you will begin to hear about our efforts to provide other companies access to their customers over our existing cable infrastructure. Companies like Earthlink, Juno and America Online will be able to use the advantages of our high-speed plant to deliver their content and Internet services to their customers. We are pleased to offer consumers increasing choice when it comes to their high-speed Internet service provider. Thank you for your continued support of Time Warner Cable in your community.

Green Street Ithaca,NY 14850 Dear Ms. Holcomb: Time Warner Cable is pleased to advise you that our customers in your community will soon have a choice of cable broadband Internet Service Providers("ISPs"). We anticipate that on or shortly after September 24,2001, in addition to the Road Runner service already provided,the Earthlink and AOL services will be available on our system. Additional ISPs will be available at a future date. We anticipate that both Earthlink and AOL services will be offered to customers with a variety of service features and options. As a result,the pricing for these services will be differentiated based on a number of factors, many of which we at Time Warner Cable will have no control over. In fact,in some instances,an ISP may even establish its own prices and be in direct contact with consumers. For the Earthlink service,when offered by Time Warner Cable,the monthly rate will be $44.95 and for the AOL service,the monthly rate will be$54.95. The services will be subject to various terms and conditions. Your community will surely be among the first in the country where customers have a choice of ISPs on their cable system. We have expended significant effort to resolve the many complex technical and operational issues which have thus far arisen in the process of making these services available on the cable system. We are certain that as the process moves forward,other issues will arise. As you no doubt realize,these services are highly dynamic and therefore changes in service offerings, pricing and other conditions may occur frequently. Time Warner and the ISPs must retain the flexibility to respond to new circumstances in ways which optimize customers'satisfaction. We will try to keep you informed of any significant developments with respect to the services available on our system.

Effective April 1, 1995,Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE), an affiliate of Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner), formed TWE-A/N, a general partnership, with Advance/Newhouse Partnership(Advance/Newhouse). The TWE and Advance/Newhouse interests in TWE-A/N are 66.67% and 33.33%,respectively. The majority of the assets of the Division were contributed to TWE-A/N,which is managed by,and an affiliate of TWE. The System has no separate legal status or existence.
