     Item 4 of this Statement is hereby further amended by deleting the last four paragraphs thereof and adding the following in lieu thereof:

CUSIP No. 02365B100      13D 

     In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 (“Form 10-Q”), AOL-LA stated that it had $16.6 million of available cash on hand as of March 31, 2005 and that its available cash will only be sufficient to fund operations into the third quarter of 2005. AOL-LA further stated in its Form 10-Q that to continue normal operations beyond such time, it would need an additional, substantial capital infusion and that it will not be able to obtain such additional financing from any source.

     In the Form 10-Q, AOL-LA discussed the strategic alternatives it has explored and the potential actions it would take if it is not successful in completing transactions to sell all or part of its businesses. AOL-LA stated that if it is not successful in selling its businesses in a timely manner, it expects to cease operating the businesses and that it may determine that it is advantageous to file a petition for bankruptcy under the U.S. bankruptcy laws or other jurisdictions in which it operates businesses. AOL-LA stated that any such voluntary filing would require the consent of its Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, in addition to the authorization of its Board of Directors.

     In connection with AOL-LA’s stated inability to fund its operations beyond the third quarter of 2005 and its statements that it expects to sell its businesses or cease operating them and that it potentially would file a petition under U.S. bankruptcy laws, the Reporting Persons, Time Warner and AOL began negotiating the terms of an agreement for their mutual cooperation regarding the wind-down of AOL-LA. Accordingly, on May 25, 2005, ODC and the AOL Group entered into the Liquidation Letter Agreement, which sets forth the terms and conditions on which ODC and the AOL Group would support the wind-down of AOL-LA. Pursuant to the Liquidation Letter Agreement, ODC and the AOL Group agreed to cooperate with and support AOL-LA’s management in the implementation of a wind-down and liquidation plan, and agreed to cause their respective representatives on AOL-LA’s Board of Directors, subject to their fiduciary obligations, to take all necessary actions to implement and execute such plan. Essentially, ODC and the AOL Group agreed that, after distributions on account of (or reservation for payment of) operating and wind-down expenses, including Chapter 11 administrative expenses and other priority claims required to be paid, and certain general unsecured claims against AOL-LA (excluding any general unsecured claims of AOL against AOL-LA), the proceeds of the liquidation would be split on a 60-40 basis, with the AOL Group receiving 60% of the distributions and ODC receiving 40% of the distributions. Additionally, the AOL Group agreed to assume ownership of AOL-LA’s Puerto Rico assets at an agreed upon net value of $15 million (subject to certain working capital and other adjustments as described in the Liquidation Letter Agreement). In exchange for the AOL Group receiving this “value” attributable to AOL-LA’s Puerto Rico assets, ODC would be entitled to receive the first actual dollars generated by the liquidation of AOL-LA’s other assets in an amount up to 40% of the difference between (x) the value of the Puerto Rico assets and (y) the amount of general unsecured claims of AOL against AOL-LA. Thus, after the payment of the unsecured creditor and priority claims described above, the AOL Group would receive 60% of the value generated by the liquidation (including the Puerto Rico assets, in respect of which the AOL Group would assume ownership), while ODC would receive 40% of the value generated by the liquidation. ODC and the AOL Group expect to continue discussions of more detailed terms in connection with a wind-down of AOL-LA and its businesses consistent with the broader terms of the Liquidation Letter Agreement, and may enter into additional agreements, instruments or term sheets to set forth such detailed terms.

     The Liquidation Letter Agreement does not require AOL-LA to wind-down or to file a bankruptcy petition and is not binding on AOL-LA, which is not a party to the agreement. It is an agreement between ODC and the AOL Group. Any decision to cease operations and begin the

CUSIP No. 02365B100      13D 

wind-down of the businesses of AOL-LA or for AOL-LA to file a petition in bankruptcy under U.S. insolvency laws would be made by the Board of Directors of AOL-LA, with the consent of ODC and the AOL Group.

     References to, and descriptions of, the Charter, the By-laws, the Second Amended and Restated AOL-ODC Registration Rights Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, the Banco Itaú Registration Rights Agreement and the Liquidation Letter Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of such documents filed as exhibits to this Statement, and are incorporated in this Item 4 in their entirety where such references and descriptions appear.

     The Reporting Persons may have additional discussions with third parties, including other stockholders, or with the Board of Directors or management of AOL-LA regarding the foregoing.

     Except as set forth elsewhere in this Amendment No. 7, none of the Reporting Persons has any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons do not rule out the possibility of effecting or seeking to effect any such actions in the future.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Items 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     Item 6 of the Statement is hereby amended by deleting the last two paragraphs thereof and adding the following in lieu thereof:

     Pursuant to the Liquidation Letter Agreement, ODC and the AOL Group agreed to cooperate with and support AOL-LA’s management in the implementation of a wind-down and liquidation plan, and agreed to cause their respective representatives on AOL-LA’s Board of Directors, subject to their fiduciary obligations, to take all necessary actions to implement and execute such plan. Essentially, ODC and the AOL Group agreed that, after distributions on account of (or reservation for payment of) operating and wind-down expenses, including Chapter 11 administrative expenses and other priority claims required to be paid, and certain general unsecured claims against AOL-LA (excluding any general unsecured claims of AOL against AOL-LA), the proceeds of the liquidation would be split on a 60-40 basis, with the AOL Group receiving 60% of the distributions and ODC receiving 40% of the distributions. Additionally, the AOL Group agreed to assume ownership of AOL-LA’s Puerto Rico assets at an agreed upon net value of $15 million (subject to certain working capital and other adjustments as described in the Liquidation Letter Agreement). In exchange for the AOL Group receiving this “value” attributable to AOL-LA’s Puerto Rico assets, ODC would be entitled to receive the first actual dollars generated by the liquidation of AOL-LA’s other assets in an amount up to 40% of the difference between (x) the value of the Puerto Rico assets and (y) the amount of general unsecured claims of AOL against AOL-LA. Thus, after the payment of the unsecured creditor and priority claims described above, the AOL Group would receive 60% of the value generated by the liquidation (including the Puerto Rico assets, in respect of which the AOL Group would assume ownership), while ODC would receive 40% of the value generated by the liquidation. ODC and the AOL Group expect to continue discussions of more detailed terms in connection with a wind-down of AOL-LA and its businesses consistent with the broader terms of the Liquidation Letter Agreement, and may enter into additional agreements, instruments or term sheets to set forth such detailed terms.

     The Liquidation Letter Agreement does not require AOL-LA to wind-down or to file a bankruptcy petition and is not binding on AOL-LA, which is not a party to the agreement. It is an agreement between ODC and the AOL Group. Any decision to cease operations and begin the wind-down of the businesses of AOL-LA or for AOL-LA to file a petition in bankruptcy under U.S. insolvency laws would be made by the Board of Directors of AOL-LA.

     References to, and the description of, the Liquidation Letter Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copy of the Liquidation Letter Agreement included as an exhibit to this Amendment No. 7, which is incorporated in this Item 6 in its entirety where such references and description appear.

     To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, except as described in the Statement and this Amendment No. 7, there are at present no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 above, and between any such persons and any person, with respect to any securities of AOL-LA.

     The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Items 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 is hereby incorporated by reference.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The purpose of this letter is to confirm our understandings and agreements relating to the wind-down of America Online Latin America, Inc. (“AOLA”) and its subsidiaries.

     As you know, we hold unsecured claims (the “TW Note Claims”) against AOLA arising under or in connection with the US$160 million of convertible notes (the “Notes”) issued by AOLA pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of March 8, 2002, between AOLA and Time Warner Inc. (“TW”), as amended. We, together with America Online, Inc. (“AOL”; collectively with TW, the “TW Parties”), also hold all of the outstanding shares of AOLA’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock Interests”). You, through your affiliates Aspen Investments L.L.C. (“Aspen”) and Atlantis Investments L.L.C. (“Atlantis”; and collectively with Aspen and all affiliates of Aspen and Atlantis, the “ODC Parties”) hold all of the outstanding shares of AOLA’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock Interests”). The ODC Parties and AOL also hold shares of certain classes of common stock of AOLA. The Notes, the Series B Preferred Stock Interests and the Series C Preferred Stock Interests are collectively referred to herein as the “Instruments”.

     Without in any way impairing the contractual and legal rights against AOLA of any party arising under or in connection with the Instruments, and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in AOLA’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any other AOLA organizational document, you and we agree to work cooperatively toward the wind-down of the businesses of AOLA and its subsidiaries in a manner consistent with the following terms and conditions.

     • The TW Parties and the ODC Parties will cooperate with and support AOLA’s management in the implementation of the wind-down and liquidation plan as outlined in AOLA’s presentation dated March 16, 2005 to the AOLA Board of Directors (the “Plan”),


Page 16 of 18


 

             
CUSIP No. 02365B100      13D 

with such changes as shall be directed by the Board of Directors of AOLA. Without limitation, all asset transfer agreements and retention/severance arrangements must be authorized specifically by the Board of Directors of AOLA. The TW Parties and the ODC Parties shall each cause its respective representatives on the Board of Directors of AOLA, subject to their fiduciary obligations, to take all necessary actions to implement and execute the Plan.

     • The TW Parties and the ODC Parties agree that the TW Parties will assume the ownership of AOLA’s Puerto Rico assets (the “PR Assets”) in partial repayment of the TW Note Claims, such repayment to be in an amount (such amount, the “Net PR Value”) equal to $15 million less any third-party liabilities assumed by the TW Parties in connection with such assumption, plus or minus, as the case may be, the Net Subscription Income (as defined in the PR Agreement referenced below) accrued and unpaid under the Letter Agreement between AOL and AOLA dated December 1, 2000, regarding the PR Assets (the “PR Agreement”) as of the date of such assumption. The effective date of such transfer of ownership of the PR Assets shall be the date upon which the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over AOLA’s Chapter 11 case enters an order authorizing and approving the transfer of the PR Assets to the TW Parties and AOLA’s rejection of the PR Agreement, as provided for below.

     • The TW Parties and the ODC Parties shall agree to have their designates to the Board of Directors of AOLA, subject to their fiduciary obligations, approve a bankruptcy filing by AOLA for Chapter 11 protection as soon as possible in order to further the implementation of the Plan and the distribution of proceeds of the wind-down in a manner consistent with this agreement.

     • After distributions on account of (or reservation for payment of) operating and wind-down expenses, including Chapter 11 administrative and other priority claims required to be paid, and general unsecured claims against AOLA to the extent the holders of such claims vote to accept the Chapter 11 plan of liquidation proposed by AOLA in its Chapter 11 case and thereby release the TW Parties, but excluding any general unsecured claims of AOL against AOLA and the TW Note Claims, any available cash or cash equivalents (excluding the PR Assets) will be distributed to the TW Parties on account of the TW Note Claims (the amount so distributed, the “TW Distributions”). The TW Parties agree to turn over promptly to the ODC Parties, from (and only to the extent of) the TW Distributions, (i) an amount equal to 40% of the difference between (x) the Net PR Value and (y) the amount of the general unsecured claims of AOL against AOLA, plus (ii) 40% of all TW Distributions thereafter received; provided that such payments shall be made to the ODC Parties substantially concurrently with any distribution to the TW Parties. Under no circumstances, however, will any in-kind distributions be made by AOLA other than AOL Puerto Rico, nor will the TW Parties make any cash capital infusion or other cash or non-cash investment or expenditure (as opposed to forgiveness of obligations) on account of their assumption of the Puerto Rico operations.

     • None of the TW Parties or the ODC Parties will be required to make any cash capital infusion or other cash or non-cash investment or expenditure to fund the Plan, the Chapter 11 proceeding, or otherwise.

CUSIP No. 02365B100      13D 

     • The AOL License Agreement dated as of August 7, 2000, and related service agreements will be rejected by AOLA in the Chapter 11 case, and AOLA will otherwise relinquish any rights or interests in any AOL intellectual property and trademarks. In consideration thereof, AOL will offer prospective purchasers of AOLA country services license terms as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

     • The PR Agreement and any related service agreements will be rejected by AOLA in the Chapter 11 case, and AOLA will otherwise relinquish any rights or interests in the PR Agreement and the PR Assets.

     • In exchange for the consideration described above, the TW Parties and the ODC Parties will exchange mutual releases for any and all claims relating to or arising in connection with AOLA.

     While we regret that this venture has not developed as we had hoped, we nonetheless look forward to moving forward jointly with you as outlined above. Please confirm that the foregoing sets forth our agreement by signing and returning to us the duplicate copy of this letter.
