medical, dental and life insurance, 401(k), pension and other plans as Viacom
may have or establish from time to time and in which you would be entitled to

modification or termination of such plans once established, and no such action
or failure thereof shall affect this Agreement. It is further understood and
agreed that all benefits you may be entitled to as an employee of Viacom shall
be based upon your Salary, as set forth in paragraph 3(a) hereof, and not upon

8(b) or 8(c) hereof or eighteen (18) months after the termination of your
employment pursuant to paragraph 8(a) hereof (the "Non-Compete Period"), you

you shall not directly or indirectly engage in or participate as an officer,
employee, director, agent of or consultant for any business directly competitive
with that of Viacom, nor shall you make any investments in any company or
business competing with Viacom; provided, however, that nothing herein shall

entitled to disclose it to you.
(c) No Employee Solicitation. You agree that, during the Employment

(d) Viacom Ownership. The results and proceeds of your services
hereunder, including, without limitation, any works of authorship resulting from
your services during your employment with Viacom and/or any of its affiliates
and any works in progress, shall be works-made-for-hire and Viacom shall be
deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all rights of
whatsoever nature therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing,
contemplated, recognized or developed, with the right to use the same in
perpetuity in any manner Viacom determines in its sole discretion without any
further payment to you whatsoever. If, for any reason, any of such results and
proceeds shall not legally be a work-for-hire and/or there are any rights which
do not accrue to Viacom under the preceding sentence, then you hereby
irrevocably assign and agree to assign any and all of your right, title and
interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all copyrights,
patents, trade secrets, trademarks and/or other rights of whatsoever nature
therein, whether or not now or hereafter known, existing, contemplated,
recognized or developed to Viacom, and Viacom shall have the right to use the
same in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner Viacom determines
without any further payment to you whatsoever. You shall, from time to time, as
may be requested by Viacom, do any and all things which Viacom may deem useful
or desirable to establish or document Viacom's exclusive ownership of any and
all rights in any such results and proceeds, including, without limitation, the
execution of appropriate copyright and/or patent applications or assignments. To
the extent you have any rights in the results and proceeds of your services that
cannot be assigned in the manner described above, you unconditionally and
irrevocably waive the enforcement of such rights. This paragraph 6(d) is subject
to, and shall not be deemed to limit, restrict, or constitute any waiver by
Viacom of any rights of ownership to which Viacom may be entitled by operation
of law by virtue of Viacom or any of its affiliates being your employer.
(e) Litigation. You agree that, during the Employment Term, for one
(1) year thereafter and, if longer, during the pendancy of any litigation or
other proceeding, (i) you shall not communicate with anyone (other than your own
attorneys and tax advisors and, except to the extent necessary in the
performance of your duties hereunder) with respect to the facts or subject
matter of any pending or potential litigation, or regulatory or administrative
proceeding involving any of Viacom's affiliates, other than any litigation or
other proceeding in which you are a party-in-opposition, without giving prior
notice to Viacom or Viacom's counsel, and (ii) in the event that any other party
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇
January 1, 1996
Page 5
attempts to obtain information or documents from you with respect to matters
possibly related to such litigation or other proceeding, you shall promptly so
notify Viacom's counsel.
(f) No Right to Give Interviews or Write Books, Articles, Etc.
During the Employment Term, except as authorized by Viacom, you shall not (i)
give any interviews or speeches, or (ii) prepare or assist any person or entity
in the preparation of any books, articles, television or motion picture
productions or other creations, in either case, concerning Viacom or any of
Viacom's affiliates or any of their officers, directors, agents, employees,
suppliers or customers.
(g) Return of Property. All documents, data, recordings, or other
property, whether tangible or intangible, including all information stored in
electronic form, obtained or prepared by or for you and utilized by you in the
course of your employment with Viacom or any of its affiliates shall remain the
exclusive property of Viacom. In the event of the termination of your employment
for any reason, Viacom reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law and in
addition to any other remedy Viacom may have, to deduct from any monies
otherwise payable to you the following: (i) the full amount of any debt you owe
to Viacom or any of its affiliates at the time of or subsequent to the
termination of your employment with Viacom, and (ii) the value of the Viacom
property which you retain in your possession after the termination of your
employment with Viacom. In the event that the law of any state or other
jurisdiction requires the consent of an employee for such deductions, this
Agreement shall serve as such consent.
(h) Non-Disparagement. You agree that you shall not, during the
Employment Term and for one (1) year thereafter, in any communications with any
customer or client of Viacom or any of Viacom's affiliates, criticize, ridicule
or make any statement which disparages or is derogatory of Viacom or Viacom's
affiliates or any of their officers, directors, agents or employees.
(i) Injunctive Relief. Viacom has entered into this Agreement in
order to obtain the benefit of your unique skills, talent, and experience. You
acknowledge and agree that any violation of paragraphs 6(a) through (h) hereof
will result in irreparable damage to Viacom, and, accordingly, Viacom may obtain
injunctive and other equitable relief for any breach or
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇
January 1, 1996
Page 6
threatened breach of such paragraphs, in addition to any other remedies
available to Viacom.
(j) Survival; Modification of Terms. Your obligations under
paragraphs 6(a) through (i) hereof shall remain in full force and effect for the
entire period provided therein notwithstanding the termination of the Employment
Term pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof or otherwise; provided, however, that your
obligations under paragraph 6(a) shall cease if you terminate your employment
for "Good Reason" or Viacom terminates your employment without "cause" (as such
terms are defined in paragraph 8) and you notify Viacom in writing that you have
elected to waive your right to receive, or to continue to receive, payments and
benefits pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of paragraph 8(d).
You and Viacom agree that the restrictions and remedies contained in paragraphs
6(a) through (i) are reasonable and that it is your intention and the intention
of Viacom that such restrictions and remedies shall be enforceable to the
fullest extent permissible by law. If it shall be found by a court of competent
jurisdiction that any such restriction or remedy is unenforceable but would be
enforceable if some part thereof were deleted or the period or area of
application reduced, then such restriction or remedy shall apply with such
modification as shall be necessary to make it enforceable.
7. Incapacity. In the event you become totally medically disabled and
cannot substantially perform your duties at any time during the Employment Term,
the CEO, at any time after such disability has continued for 30 consecutive
days, may determine that Viacom requires such duties and responsibilities be
performed by another executive. In the event you become disabled, you will first
receive benefits under Viacom's short-term disability program for the first 26
weeks of consecutive absence. Thereafter, you will be eligible to receive
benefits under Viacom's Long-Term Disability ("LTD") program in accordance with
its terms. Upon receipt of benefits under the LTD program, you will also be
entitled to receive a pro-rated Target Bonus for the calendar year in which such
benefits commence.
8. Termination.
(a) Termination for Cause. Viacom may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement forthwith for "cause", and Viacom shall thereafter have no further
obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation
to pay Salary or Bonus or provide benefits under this Agreement. For purposes of
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇
January 1, 1996
Page 7
this Agreement, termination of this Agreement for "cause" shall mean termination
for embezzlement, fraud or other conduct which would constitute a felony,
conviction of a felony, or willful unauthorized disclosure of confidential
information, or if you at any time materially breach this Agreement (including,
without limitation, your failure, neglect of or refusal to substantially perform
your obligations hereunder as set forth in paragraphs 2 and 11 hereof), except
in the event of your disability as set forth in paragraph 7. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, Viacom will give you written notice prior to
terminating this Agreement for your material breach setting forth the exact
nature of any alleged breach and the conduct required to cure such breach. You
shall have ten (10) business days from the giving of such notice within which to
cure.
(b) Good Reason Termination. You may terminate your employment
hereunder for "Good Reason" at any time during the Employment Term by written
notice to Viacom not more than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the
event constituting "Good Reason". Such notice shall state an effective date no
later than ten (10) business days after the date it is given. Good Reason shall
mean, without your prior written consent, other than in connection with the
termination of your employment for "cause" (as defined above) or in connection
with your permanent disability, the assignment to you by Viacom of duties
substantially inconsistent with your positions, duties, responsibilities, titles
or offices, the withdrawal of a material part of your responsibilities as set
forth in paragraph 2, or the material breach by Viacom of its material
obligations hereunder.
(c) Termination Without Cause. Viacom may terminate your employment
hereunder without "cause" (as defined above) at any time during the Employment
Term by written notice to you.
(d) Termination Payments, Etc. In the event that your employment
terminates pursuant to paragraph 8(b) or 8(c) hereof, you shall be entitled to
receive, subject to applicable withholding taxes:

Employment Term, payable in accordance with Viacom's then

effective payroll practices;
(iv) medical and dental insurance coverage under COBRA until the
end of the Employment Term or, if earlier, the date on which
you become eligible for medical and dental coverage from a
third party employer; during this period, Viacom will pay an
amount equal to the applicable COBRA premiums (or such other
amounts as may be required by applicable law) (which amount
will be included in your income for tax purposes to the extent
required by applicable law); at the end of such period, you
may elect to continue your medical and dental insurance
coverage at your own expense for the balance, if any, of the
period required by law;
(v) life insurance coverage until the end of the Employment Term
(the amount of Salary covered by such insurance to be reduced
by the amount of any salary payable to you by a third party);
and

1989 and 1994 Long-Term Management Incentive Plans and any
successor plans (collectively, the "LTMIP"):
(x) stock options granted to you under the LTMIP which are
exercisable on or prior to the date of the termination
of your employment under paragraph 8(b) or 8(c) that
would have vested and become exercisable on or before
the last day of the Employment Term will be exercisable
until six (6) months after the date of such termination
or, if earlier, the expiration date of the stock
options; and
(y) payments on the phantom shares granted to you under the
LTMIP in 1989 will be calculated in the manner and made
at such times as provided in the LTMIP;

provided, however, you shall be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph 8(d) by seeking other
employment or otherwise, and the amount of any such payment provided for in (i),
(ii) and (iii) shall be reduced by any compensation earned by you from a third
person except that mitigation shall not be required for twelve (12) months after
the termination of your employment or for the period commencing with the
termination of your employment and ending on the last day of the Employment
Term, whichever is shorter. The payments provided for in (i) above are in lieu
of any severance or income continuation or protection under any Viacom plan that
may now or hereafter exist. The payments and benefits to be provided pursuant to
this paragraph 8(d) shall constitute liquidated damages, and shall be deemed to
satisfy and be in full and final settlement of all obligations of Viacom to you
under this Agreement.
(e) Termination of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary (except as otherwise provided in paragraph 8(d) with respect to

upon the termination of your employment except to the extent otherwise expressly
provided in such plans or programs.

during the final twelve (12) months of the Employment Term, you shall be
entitled to receive Salary as provided in paragraph 3(a), payable in accordance
with Viacom's then effective payroll practices, subject to applicable
withholding requirements, for the period commencing after the end of the
Employment Term which, when added to the portion of the Employment Term, if any,
remaining when the notice is given or the termination occurs, equals twelve (12)
months; provided, however, you shall be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment pursuant to this paragraph 8(f) by seeking other employment or
otherwise, and the amount of any such payment shall be reduced by any
compensation earned by you from a third person. The payments provided for in
this paragraph 8(f) are in lieu of any severance or income

action or proceeding (or any appeal therefrom) in which you are a party by
reason of your position as Senior Vice President, Human Resources and
Administration of Viacom or by reason of any prior positions held by you with
Viacom, or for any acts or omissions made by you in good faith in the
performance of any of your duties as an officer of Viacom.

construed to impose any obligation on Viacom to renew this Agreement or any
portion thereof. The parties intend to be bound only upon execution of a written
agreement and no negotiation, exchange of draft or partial performance shall be

be changed only by a writing signed by both parties hereto.
