Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
(e) Adoption of Cash Bonus Plan
On February 14, 2007, Time Warner Cable Inc. (the Company) adopted the Time Warner Cable
Inc. 2007 Annual Bonus Plan (the Plan). Each of the
Companys named executive officers, as that term is defined in
Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, is
eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors or a committee selected by the Board to administer the Plan and composed of not
less than two directors, each of whom is an outside director (within the meaning of Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 162(m)) (as applicable, the
committee). The Plan generally provides for the grants of awards, as determined by the
committee, to a participant based on that participants level of attainment of certain specified
performance goals during a specified performance period (which under the Plan is the Companys
fiscal year).
With respect to awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of
Section 162(m), the applicable performance goals will be based on objective performance criteria
established in advance by the committee that are measured in terms of one or more of the following
objectives: earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; net
earnings (before or after taxes); net income (before or after taxes); operating income before or
after depreciation and amortization (and including or excluding capital expenditures); operating
income (before or after taxes); operating profit (before or after taxes); book value; earnings per
share (before or after taxes); market share; return measures (including, but not limited to, return
on capital, invested capital, assets, equity); margins; share price (including, but not limited to,
growth measures and total shareholder return); sales or product volume growth; productivity
improvement or operating efficiency; costs or expenses; shareholders equity; revenues or sales;
cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow and cash flow return
on capital); revenue-generating unit-based metrics; expense targets; objective measures of customer
satisfaction; working capital targets; measures of economic value added; inventory control; or
enterprise value. The foregoing performance criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of its
affiliates or one or more of its or their divisions or units, or departments or functions, or any
combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one or
more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, all as the committee shall
determine.
The committee will establish for each performance period a maximum award (and, if the
committee deems appropriate, a threshold and target award) and goals relating to Company,
subsidiary, divisional, departmental and/or functional performance for each participant. Awards
will be earned by each participant based upon the level of attainment of his or her goals during
the applicable performance period; provided that the committee may reduce the amount of any award
in its sole and absolute discretion. As soon as practicable after the end of the applicable
performance period, the committee will determine the level of attainment of the goals for each
participant and the award to be made to each participant. Awards earned during any
performance period will be paid as soon as practicable following the end of such performance period
and the determination of the amount thereof will be made by the committee. Payment of bonus
awards will be made in the form of cash. Except as otherwise provided pursuant to an employment
agreement between a participant and the Company, a participant will be eligible to receive payment
of his or her award earned during a performance period, so long as the participant is employed on
the last day of such performance period, notwithstanding any subsequent termination of employment
prior to the actual payment of the award. In the event of a participants death prior to the
payment of an award which has been earned, such payment will be made to the participants
designated beneficiary or, if there is none living, to the participants estate.
No award intended to qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m)
may be paid for years after 2007 unless and until the shareholders of the Company have approved the
Plan in a manner which complies with the shareholder approval requirements of Section 162(m); and
no such award will be paid until the committee has certified the level of attainment of the
applicable performance criteria. The maximum amount of an award that is intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) to a single participant shall not
exceed $10,000,000.

approved 2006 annual cash bonuses for the Companys named executive officers. The Summary Compensation Table included in the Companys Distribution Form 8-K (as defined below) is hereby updated to

On February 13, 2007, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a
Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 13, 2007 (the Distribution Form 8-K) to provide
business, financial and other information about the Company in connection with the distribution by
Adelphia Communications Corporation (Adelphia) of shares of the Companys Class A common stock,
par value $ .01 per share, pursuant to Adelphias plan of reorganization under the bankruptcy
laws. The Distribution Form 8-K contained certain information required by Item 402 of Regulation
S-K. Because the Distribution Form 8-K was required to be filed with the SEC prior to the
determination of cash bonuses to be paid to the Companys executive officers with respect to 2006,
the Summary Compensation Table included in the Distribution Form 8-K did not include such amounts.
