Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

     As previously reported, on December 11, 2009, Time Warner Cable Inc. (the “Company”) completed its public offering of $2 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “Debt Securities”). On December 21, 2009, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Debt Securities to repay in full all $400 million outstanding under its $4.0 billion five-year term loan credit agreement dated as of February 21, 2006, among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd., New York Branch, as administrative agent, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as co-syndication agents, and Calyon New York Branch, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., as co-documentation agents (the “Term Loan Facility”), plus accrued interest. As a result, the Term Loan Facility was fully repaid and terminated in accordance with its terms, and the guarantees provided by the Company’s subsidiaries, TW NY Cable Holding Inc. and Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. thereunder also terminated. The Term Loan Facility would have matured on February 21, 2011. No early termination fees or prepayment penalties were incurred by the Company in connection with such termination.

     Certain of the lenders under the Term Loan Facility or their affiliates have performed and may, from time to time in the future, engage in transactions with or perform commercial and investment banking and advisory services for the Company and/or are lenders under the Company’s bank credit facility, for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

     On December 18, 2009, the Company and Michael LaJoie, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the Company, entered into a third amendment, effective January 1, 2010 (“Third Amendment”), to the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. LaJoie dated June 1, 2000, as amended effective January 1, 2006 and January 1, 2008 (the “LaJoie Employment Agreement”). The Third Amendment clarifies that, consistent with the Company’s current practice, any bonus payable for a partial year as a result of a termination of Mr. LaJoie’s employment will be based on the actual achievement of the Company’s performance criteria established for the applicable year under the Company’s bonus plans. In addition, all references to Time Warner Inc. that became inoperative because the Company is no longer a consolidated subsidiary and to the Company’s Stamford, Connecticut office are deleted from the LaJoie Employment Agreement and/or replaced with appropriate references to the Company and the Company’s New York office.
