"Common Stock"), to be issued pursuant to the terms of the 1988 Restricted
Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Time Warner Inc. (the "Restricted
Stock Plan").
On October 10, 1996, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of September 22, 1995, as
amended, between Time Warner Companies, Inc. (formerly named Time Warner
Inc.) ("Old Time Warner"), the Registrant (formerly a wholly owned subsidiary
of Old Time Warner), Time Warner Acquisition Corp., formerly a Delaware
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Delaware Sub"),
TW Acquisition Corp., formerly a Georgia corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant ("Georgia Sub"), and Turner Broadcasting System,
Inc. ("TBS"), among other things: (a) Delaware Sub was merged into Old Time
Warner, (b) each outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share,
of Old Time Warner ("Old Time Warner Common Stock"), other than shares held
directly or indirectly by Old Time Warner was converted into one share of
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Registrant, (c) Georgia Sub was
merged into TBS (collectively, with (a), the "Mergers"), (d) the outstanding
capital stock of TBS, other than shares held directly or indirectly by Old
Time Warner or the Registrant or in the treasury of TBS and shares with
respect to which dissenters' rights were properly exercised, were converted
into the right to receive the Registrant's Common Stock, (e) each of Old Time
Warner and TBS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant and (f) the
Registrant was renamed "Time Warner Inc."
Prior to the Mergers, shares of Old Time Warner Common Stock to

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as
other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation --a
"derivative action"), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only
extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the
statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where
the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that
may be granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws, disinterested director
vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
Article VI of the Registrant's By-laws requires indemnification to
the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law of any person who is or was a
director or officer of the Registrant who is or was involved or threatened to
be made so involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal,
civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person
is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of the Registrant or any
predecessor of the Registrant or was serving at the request of the Registrant
as a director, officer or employee of any other enterprise.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the
certificate of incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder, such as
the Registrant, eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions, the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 1, Article X of
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant eliminates the
liability of directors to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of
Sections 145 and 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article VI of such By-laws and Section
1, Article X of such Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as applicable.
The Registrant's Directors' and Officers' Liability and
Reimbursement Insurance Policy is designed to reimburse the Registrant for any
Payments made by it pursuant to the foregoing indemnification. Such policy
has coverage of $50,000,000.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed or
incorporated by reference as part of this Registration Statement.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement.
(iii)To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3,
Form S-8, or Form F-3 and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
