NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Viacom is home to premier global media brands that create compelling television programs, motion pictures, short-form content, apps, games, consumer products, social media experiences and other entertainment content for audiences in 180 countries. Viacom operates through two reporting segments: Media Networks , which includes the Music & Entertainment Group, the Kids & Family Group and BET Networks, and Filmed Entertainment . The Media Networks segment provides entertainment content and related branded products for consumers in targeted demographics attractive to advertisers, content distributors and retailers. The Filmed Entertainment segment produces, finances, acquires and distributes motion pictures, television programming and other entertainment content under the Paramount Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Paramount Classics, Paramount Animation, Insurge Pictures, Nickelodeon Movies, MTV Films and Paramount Television brands. References in this document to “Viacom,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Viacom Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated quarterly financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 (“fiscal 2016 ”) or any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015 , as filed with the SEC on November 12, 2015 (the “ 2015 Form 10-K”).
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates of film ultimate revenues, product returns, potential outcome of uncertain tax positions, fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, fair value of equity-based compensation and pension benefit assumptions. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2016 presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In connection with its financial instruments project, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in June 2016 and ASU 2016-01 - Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities in January 2016.
ASU 2016-13 introduces a new impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a forward-looking “expected loss” model that will replace the current “incurred loss” model and generally will result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2021 fiscal year, with early adoption in fiscal year 2020 permitted.
ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other provisions, the new guidance requires the fair value measurement of investments in certain equity securities. For investments without readily determinable fair values, entities have the option to either measure these investments at fair value or at cost adjusted for changes in observable prices minus impairment. All changes in measurement will be recognized in net income. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year. Early adoption is not permitted, except for certain provisions relating to financial liabilities.
We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standards.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, such as requiring all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled and allowing a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, all related cash flows resulting from share-based payments will be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2018 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The new standard will impact our financial statements by increasing or decreasing our income tax provision and increasing cash flow from operating activities.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 - Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for most leases. For income statement purposes, leases will be classified as either operating or finance, generally resulting in straight-line expense recognition for operating leases (similar to current operating leases) and accelerated expense recognition for financing leases (similar to current capital leases). The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2020 fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 - Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that all deferred taxes be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. In the quarter ended December 31, 2015, we adopted the new guidance on a retrospective basis. As a result, our $99 million net deferred tax liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2015 is presented as a deferred tax asset of $51 million within Other assets and $150 million in Deferred tax liabilities, net.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a comprehensive revenue recognition model that supersedes the current revenue recognition requirements and most industry-specific guidance. Subsequent accounting standard updates have also been issued which amend and/or clarify the application of ASU 2014-09. The guidance provides a five step framework to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance will be effective for the first interim period of our 2019 fiscal year (with early adoption permitted beginning fiscal year 2018), and allows adoption either under a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

In the third quarter, we repaid the $368 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.250% Senior Notes due April 2016.
The total unamortized discount and issuance fees and expenses related to our senior notes and debentures was $464 million as of June 30, 2016 and $478 million as of September 30, 2015 . The fair value of our senior notes and debentures was approximately $12.3 billion as of June 30, 2016 . The valuation of our publicly traded debt is based on quoted prices in active markets.
Credit Facility
At June 30, 2016 , there were no amounts outstanding under our $2.5 billion revolving credit facility due November 2019. The credit facility is used for general corporate purposes and to support commercial paper outstanding. The amount of unused capacity under the credit facility, after deducting commercial paper outstanding of $453 million with a weighted average maturity of 29 days and weighted average interest rate of 1.24% , was $2.05 billion as of June 30, 2016 . The credit facility has one principal financial covenant that requires our interest coverage for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters to be at least 3.0x, which we met as of June 30, 2016 .

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
As more fully described in Note 11 of the 2015 Form 10-K, our commitments primarily consist of programming and talent commitments, operating and capital lease arrangements, and purchase obligations for goods and services. These arrangements result from our normal course of business and represent obligations that may be payable over several years.
Contingencies
We have certain indemnification obligations with respect to leases primarily associated with the previously discontinued operations of Famous Players Inc. (“Famous Players”). In addition, we have certain indemnities provided by the acquirer of Famous Players. These lease commitments amounted to approximately $242 million as of June 30, 2016 . The amount of lease commitments varies over time depending on expiration or termination of individual underlying leases, or of the related indemnification obligation, and foreign exchange rates, among other things. We may also have exposure for certain other expenses related to the leases, such as property taxes and common area maintenance. We have recorded a liability of $192 million with respect to such obligations as of June 30, 2016 . We believe our accrual is sufficient to meet any future obligations based on our consideration of available financial information, the lessees’ historical performance in meeting their lease obligations and the underlying economic factors impacting the lessees’ business models.
Legal Matters
Various Litigations Involving National Amusements, Inc. and the Sumner M. Redstone National Amusements Trust
National Amusements, Inc. (“National Amusements”), directly and indirectly, is the controlling stockholder of Viacom. National Amusements owns shares in Viacom representing approximately 79.8% of the voting interest in Viacom and approximately 10% of Viacom’s combined common stock. National Amusements is controlled by Sumner M. Redstone, our Chairman Emeritus, who is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of National Amusements, through the Sumner M. Redstone National Amusements Trust (the “SMR Trust”), which owns shares in National Amusements representing 80% of the

voting interest of National Amusements. The shares representing the other 20% of the voting interest of National Amusements are held through a trust controlled by Shari E. Redstone, who is Mr. Redstone’s daughter and the non-executive Vice Chair of Viacom and the President and a member of the Board of Directors of National Amusements. The shares of National Amusements held by the SMR Trust are voted solely by Mr. Redstone until such time as his incapacity or death. Upon Mr. Redstone’s incapacity or death, (1) Ms. Redstone will also become a trustee of the SMR Trust and (2) the shares of National Amusements held by the SMR Trust will be voted by the trustees of the SMR Trust.
Prior to May 20, 2016, the trustees of the SMR Trust were Mr. Dauman and George Abrams, a member of the Board of Directors, as well as Mr. Redstone, Phyllis Redstone, David R. Andelman, Norman Jacobs, and Leonard Lewin. The Board of Directors of National Amusements consisted of Mr. Redstone, Shari Redstone, Mr. Abrams, Mr. Andelman, Mr. Dauman, and Tyler Korff, Ms. Redstone’s son and Mr. Redstone’s grandson. On May 20, 2016, Messrs. Dauman and Abrams received notices stating that they had been removed as Trustees of the SMR Trust and as directors and managers of National Amusements and its subsidiaries and replaced, as to the SMR Trust, by Thaddeus Jankowski, the general counsel of National Amusements, and Jill Krutick; and as to National Amusements, by Ms. Krutick and Kimberlee Korff Ostheimer, Ms. Redstone’s daughter and Mr. Redstone’s granddaughter (the May 20, 2016 removals collectively, the “Purported Removals”).
On May 23, 2016, Messrs. Dauman and Abrams filed a lawsuit (the “Massachusetts Action”) in the Probate and Family Court in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, in which they challenged the Purported Removals on the grounds that such removals were the result of Mr. Redstone’s incapacity and/or the product of undue influence or other improper conduct by Ms. Redstone or others. After commencing the Massachusetts Action, Messrs. Dauman and Abrams moved the court for expedited discovery and trial, as well as an evaluation of Mr. Redstone’s mental competency, and the defendants moved to dismiss the action. On July 28, 2016, the Massachusetts court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss, and ordered defendants to produce certain medical records of Mr. Redstone. The case will now proceed to the discovery phase and the Massachusetts court noted that it would schedule a trial on the merits in October 2016.
Also on May 23, 2016, attorneys for Mr. Redstone filed a petition in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County (the “California Action”), seeking that court’s confirmation that the Purported Removals were valid.
On June 6, 2016, National Amusements and NAI Entertainment Holdings LLC (together, “NAI”) delivered to Viacom stockholder written consents purporting to amend certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), (i) requiring that any sale or financial transaction affecting all or a portion of Paramount Pictures Corporation (“Paramount”) and various other Viacom subsidiaries that are utilized in the conduct of business of Paramount must be unanimously approved by all of the members of the Board of Directors then in office, (ii) specifying that the Board of Directors can amend the Bylaws only by an affirmative vote of all members of the Board of Directors then in office, and (iii) modifying, in certain respects, Viacom’s existing Bylaws provision requiring that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) is the exclusive jurisdiction for certain types of corporate litigation.
On June 13, 2016, Viacom entered into a costs and expenses agreement with each of Mr. Dauman and Mr. Abrams (together, the “Agreements”), each of which was approved in advance by a committee comprised of independent members of the Board of Directors. Under the Agreements, Viacom will pay or promptly reimburse Mr. Dauman’s and Mr. Abrams’ costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and fees of public relations and other consultants) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the Massachusetts Action and the California Action. Under the Agreements, each of Messrs. Dauman and Abrams is required to repay to Viacom (1) all amounts received from Viacom to the extent it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that, in instituting the Massachusetts Action, he acted in breach of his fiduciary or other duties to Viacom or that he has not acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of Viacom and (2) any amounts received after taking reasonable steps, as required under the Agreements, to seek recoupment or other economic recovery of costs and expenses related to the subject matter of the Massachusetts Action and the California Action from the SMR Trust and National Amusements and its subsidiaries as authorized under the respective governing documents of, and agreements with, those entities.
On June 16, 2016, NAI delivered to Viacom stockholder written consents purporting to amend additional provisions of the Bylaws to provide that any and all vacancies on the Board of Directors occurring as a result of stockholder action to remove directors or to increase the number of authorized directors shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least a majority of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, except that in the case of a vacancy for any other reason, a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director shall fill such vacancy if not filled by stockholder action within 30 days of the occurrence of such other vacancy. The June 16th written consents also claimed to remove from the Board of Directors, without cause, Mr. Abrams, Mr. Dauman, Blythe J. McGarvie, Frederic V. Salerno and William Schwartz and to fill the resulting vacancies with Kenneth Lerer, Thomas J. May, Judith McHale, Ronald Nelson and Nicole Seligman (the “Purported Director Replacements”).

On June 16, 2016, NAI filed a lawsuit (the “NAI Delaware Action”) in the Delaware Chancery Court pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 225, (1) seeking the court’s confirmation of the validity and effectiveness of the stockholder written consents delivered by NAI to Viacom on June 6th and June 16th and (2) requesting that, pending a final court ruling, the court maintain the existing Board of Directors and prohibit the Board of Directors from taking any action not in the ordinary course of business. Also on June 16, 2016, Mr. Salerno, Viacom’s lead independent director, filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 225 (the “Salerno Delaware Action” and, together with the NAI Delaware Action, the “Delaware Actions”), with the support of the independent directors of the Board of Directors, seeking an expedited determination (1) that the Purported Director Replacements are invalid, (2) that the Board of Directors remains as currently comprised, (3) enjoining NAI from taking further wrongful actions under the authority of Mr. Redstone and (4) entering a status quo order providing that NAI shall not take any actions that would disrupt the Board of Directors’ continuing management of the business and affairs of the Company in the ordinary course. The Delaware Actions are being managed under a coordination order. The Company is paying the expenses incurred in contesting the actions purportedly taken by NAI pursuant to its written consents.
On June 27, 2016, the Delaware Chancery Court entered a status quo order preserving the Board of Directors as constituted prior to the Purported Director Replacements during the pendency of the Delaware Actions.  The status quo order further provides that none of Viacom, the Board of Directors, any committee of the Board of Directors, any member of the Board of Directors or any Viacom executive officer, or any person acting at the direction of any of them, shall authorize, agree to, knowingly cause or permit or take, directly or indirectly, any action that is outside the routine day-to-day operations of Viacom and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (the “Consolidated Company”) without providing five business days’ prior written notice to NAI (which notice shall be treated confidentially). For purposes of the status quo order, “action that is outside the routine day-to-day operations” of the Consolidated Company includes in summary, but is not limited to:
declaring any spin-off or other similar distribution of capital stock of Viacom or distributing any securities or assets of Viacom, other than Viacom’s regular quarterly dividend;
authorizing or entering into agreements with third parties not otherwise permitted by the status quo order, except for agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice which do not effect a change in (i) the current business operations material to the Consolidated Company or (ii) the voting control or equity ownership of Viacom;
authorizing, creating or amending securities of the Consolidated Company, subject to certain exceptions including if such action is taken in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or pursuant to existing agreements;
authorizing or entering into agreements to issue, sell or dispose of securities of the Consolidated Company, subject to certain exceptions including if such action is taken in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or pursuant to mandatory provisions of existing agreements in existence as of June 15, 2016 (provided that under no circumstances may Viacom issue, sell or dispose of any Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock of Viacom);
authorizing or entering into any action or transaction that would require Viacom stockholder approval;
authorizing or entering into any transaction that is material to the business of Paramount and that is not in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, for any disposition of equity or assets of Paramount and its subsidiaries to a party other than the Consolidated Company;
increasing the compensation and benefits payable to current officers and employees, hiring new officers or employees, or terminating or amending existing employment agreements, subject to certain exceptions including if such action is pursuant to agreements in existence as of June 15, 2016 or would not have required the approval of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors prior to June 27, 2016;
hiring a financial advisor where the aggregate fees would reasonably be expected to exceed $10 million ;
entering into an agreement that is reasonably likely to result in Viacom incurring liability or making any payment based upon the resolution of the claims alleged in the Delaware Actions regarding the validity of the June 6 purported Bylaw amendments or the June 16 purported Bylaw amendments;
instituting or funding legal proceedings seeking the relief sought in the consolidated action, Dauman et al. v. Redstone, et al. pending in Probate and Family Court in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, or Mr. Redstone’s petition pending in California Superior Court, subject to certain exceptions including the defense of legal proceedings seeking the relief sought in those actions and any advancement or indemnification obligations of the Consolidated Company in effect on June 16, 2016; and
amending the Bylaws by action of the Board of Directors.

The status quo order will remain in place until a final judgment is entered in the Delaware Actions (or until the Delaware Chancery Court enters a superseding order).
On July 1, 2016, Viacom filed an answer in the NAI Delaware Action, contesting the validity and effectiveness of the stockholder written consents delivered by NAI to Viacom on June 6th and June 16th. Mr. Salerno filed a joinder in that answer and asserted additional affirmative defenses. On July 11, 2016, the plaintiffs in the NAI Delaware Action filed motions for Judgment on the Pleadings in the NAI Delaware Action and motions to dismiss in the Salerno Delaware Action. On July 29, 2016, the Delaware Chancery Court denied all of the material motions. The case will now proceed to the discovery phase and the Delaware Chancery Court noted that it would schedule trial for the week of October 17, 2016.
On July 15, 2016, Viacom received “reservation of rights” letters from counsel to each of Mr. Dauman and Mr. Dooley. The letters were delivered in light of the Purported Director Replacements and note that Messrs. Dauman and Dooley are highly engaged in overseeing Viacom's operations and are committed to pursuing and executing Viacom's strategic plan for the duration of their respective employment agreements. The letters refer to each executive's right under his employment agreement to resign upon the occurrence of certain events that constitute “Good Reason” (subject to Viacom's opportunity to cure). The letters note the belief of the authors and each executive that such events have not occurred, but, in order to preserve their rights, each executive exercises the right to resign for “Good Reason” effective 31 days after the entry of a judicial order from which no appeal may be taken establishing the validity of the Purported Director Replacements, which could potentially result in significant costs to Viacom. The letters further note that if there is an entry of a judicial order from which no appeal may be taken establishing the invalidity of the Purported Director Replacements, the executives' resignation of employment shall not take effect.
Purported Class and Derivative Actions
Between June 17, 2016 and August 1, 2016, three substantially similar purported class action complaints were filed in the Delaware Chancery Court by purported Viacom stockholders, against Viacom, Viacom’s directors, NAI and the purported new directors named in NAI’s June 16th written consents. The complaints - brought on behalf of the class of all holders of Viacom Class B common stock except the named defendants and any person or entity affiliated with any of the defendants - allege claims for breaches of fiduciary duty against the incumbent director defendants and NAI. The purported new directors named in NAI’s June 16th written consents are alleged to have aided and abetted these breaches. In addition to damages and attorneys’ fees, the complaints seek declarations invalidating the June 2016 purported Bylaw amendments described above and “such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.” Viacom and certain Viacom directors have moved to dismiss the first two complaints and expect to shortly move to dismiss the third.
On July 20, 2016, a purported derivative action was commenced in Delaware Chancery Court by a purported Viacom stockholder against Viacom and its directors. The complaint alleges that Viacom’s directors breached their fiduciary duties to Viacom in connection with compensation paid to Mr. Redstone. These breaches, it is alleged, permitted a waste of corporate assets and the unjust enrichment of Mr. Redstone.
European Commission Statement of Objections
In July 2015, the Directorate-General for Competition (“DG Comp”) of the European Commission (the “Commission”) issued a Statement of Objections (the “SO”) to the six major Hollywood film studios, including Paramount, and to Sky UK (“Sky”), in connection with DG Comp's investigation into whether conventional territorial restrictions in agreements licensing content to pay television broadcasters impeded European Union (“EU”) single market imperatives in an anti-competitive way. The SO directed at Paramount takes issue with certain geo-filtering provisions in Paramount’s 2009 and 2014 agreements with Sky, which were designed to enforce the territorial nature of the content Paramount licenses for distribution on Sky’s online and mobile pay television platforms. In addition, the SO challenges certain provisions in the 2009 agreement regarding Sky’s satellite distribution of Paramount content. While we believe that Paramount's licensing practices in the EU have been consistent with the region's competition and other rules, rather than prolong the dispute, Viacom and Paramount have chosen to reach agreement with the Commission in the form of binding commitments related to the types of geo-filtering clauses permitted in premium pay television license agreements with broadcasters to the extent they restrict European Economic Area (“EEA”) broadcasters from responding to unsolicited requests by consumers located in a different territory in the EEA. The commitments permit Paramount to continue to license films through premium pay television license agreements in Europe on an exclusive territorial basis. No admission of liability has been made. In addition, the commitments eliminate the possibility of fines and enable the Commission to close similar pending cases against Viacom and Paramount relating to broadcasters in Italy, France, Germany and Spain. The Commission adopted the commitments on July 26, 2016, bringing the matter to conclusion apart from ongoing compliance monitoring.

We anticipate that most of the liability associated with the restructuring plan will be paid by September 30, 2016.
NOTE 9. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing Net earnings attributable to Viacom by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The determination of diluted earnings per common share includes the weighted average number of common shares plus the dilutive effect of equity awards based upon the application of the treasury stock method. Anti-dilutive common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.
The following table sets forth the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in determining basic and diluted earnings per common share and anti-dilutive common shares:

Accounts Receivable
We had $549 million and $577 million of noncurrent trade receivables as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. Accounts receivables are principally related to long-term television license arrangements at Filmed Entertainment and content distribution arrangements at Media Networks . These amounts are included within Other assets - noncurrent in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such amounts are due in accordance with the underlying terms of the respective agreements with companies that are investment grade or with which we have historically done business under similar terms. We have determined that credit loss allowances are generally not considered necessary for these amounts.
Variable Interest Entities
In the normal course of business, we enter into joint ventures or make investments with business partners that support our underlying business strategy and provide us the ability to enter new markets to expand the reach of our brands, develop new programming and/or distribute our existing content. In certain instances, an entity in which we make an investment may qualify as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we assess whether we have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities : We have an unconsolidated investment in Prism TV Private Limited (“Prism”), a 50% owned joint venture in India that qualifies as a VIE. In connection with our investment, we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of Prism and therefore we do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Our carrying value in Prism was $156 million and $145 million as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 , respectively.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities : Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include amounts related to consolidated VIEs totaling $194 million in assets and $57 million in liabilities as of June 30, 2016 , and $207 million in assets and $54 million in liabilities as of September 30, 2015 . The consolidated VIEs’ revenues, expenses and operating income were not significant for all periods presented.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 30.7% and 33.2% in the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Net discrete tax benefit of $13 million reduced the effective income tax rate by 2.1 percentage points in the quarter and net discrete tax expense of $8 million contributed 0.4 percentage points to the effective income tax rate in the nine months. The net discrete tax benefit in the quarter was principally related to the release of tax reserves upon the remeasurement of excess foreign tax credits associated with the reorganization of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of 2015. The net discrete tax expense in the nine month period was principally related to a reduction in qualified production activity tax benefits as a result of retroactively reenacted legislation, partially offset by reserve releases.
Our effective income tax rate was 31.8% and 32.2% in the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively. Net discrete tax expense of $23 million in the nine months, taken together with restructuring and programming charges and a pension settlement loss, contributed 0.4 percentage points to the effective income tax rate. This net discrete tax expense was principally related to a reduction in qualified production activity tax benefits as a result of retroactively reenacted legislation, partially offset by reserve releases.

The fair value for marketable securities is determined utilizing a market approach based on quoted market prices in active markets at period end and the fair value for derivatives is determined utilizing a market-based approach.
The notional value of all foreign exchange contracts was $1.164 billion and $1.040 billion as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 , respectively. At June 30, 2016 , $752 million related to our foreign currency balances and $412 million related to future production costs. At September 30, 2015 , $769 million related to our foreign currency balances and $271 million related to future production costs.
NOTE 12. REPORTING SEGMENTS
The following tables set forth our financial performance by reporting segment. Our reporting segments have been determined in accordance with our internal management structure. We manage our operations through two reporting segments: (i)  Media Networks and (ii)  Filmed Entertainment . Typical intersegment transactions include the purchase of advertising by the Filmed Entertainment segment on Media Networks’ properties and the purchase of Filmed Entertainment’s feature films and television programming exhibition rights by Media Networks . The elimination of such intercompany transactions in the Consolidated Financial Statements is included within eliminations in the tables below.
 
Our measure of segment performance is adjusted operating income/(loss). Adjusted operating income/(loss) is defined as operating income/(loss), before equity-based compensation and certain other items identified as affecting comparability, including restructuring and programming charges, when applicable.

Our Filmed Entertainment segment earns revenues and recognizes expenses associated with its distribution of certain television products into the home entertainment market on behalf of CBS. Pursuant to its agreement with CBS, Paramount distributes CBS’s library of television and other content on DVD and Blu-ray disc on a worldwide basis. Under the terms of the agreement, Paramount is entitled to retain a fee based on a percentage of gross receipts and is generally responsible for all out-of-pocket costs, which are recoupable together with any advance amounts paid. Paramount made advance payments of $60 million to CBS during the nine months ended June 30, 2016 . Paramount also earns revenues from CBS through leasing of studio space and licensing of certain film products.
Our Media Networks segment recognizes advertising revenues and purchases television programming from CBS. The cost of the programming purchases is initially recorded as acquired program rights inventory and amortized over the estimated period that revenues will be generated.
Both of our segments recognize advertising expenses related to the placement of advertisements with CBS.
The following table summarizes the transactions with CBS as included in our Consolidated Financial Statements:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes to enhance the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Additional context can also be found in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 , as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 12, 2015 (the “ 2015 Form 10-K”). References in this document to “Viacom,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Viacom Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
Significant components of management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition include:
Overview : The overview section provides a summary of our business.
Results of Operations : The results of operations section provides an analysis of our results on a consolidated and reportable segment basis for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 , compared with the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2015 . In addition, we provide a discussion of items that affect the comparability of our results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources : The liquidity and capital resources section provides a discussion of our cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 , compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2015 , and of our outstanding debt, commitments and contingencies existing as of June 30, 2016 .
OVERVIEW
Summary
We are home to premier global media brands that create compelling television programs, motion pictures, short-form content, apps, games, consumer products, social media experiences and other entertainment content for audiences in 180 countries. Our media networks, including Nickelodeon ® , COMEDY CENTRAL ® , MTV ® , VH1 ® , SPIKE ® , BET ® , CMT ® , TV Land ® , Nick at Nite ® , Nick Jr. ® , Channel 5 ® (UK), Logo ® , Nicktoons ® , TeenNick ® and Paramount Channel™, reach 510 million households worldwide. Viacom Media Networks also provides extensive online, mobile and app experiences. Paramount Pictures ® is a major global producer and distributor of filmed entertainment. Paramount Television™ develops and produces programming for television and video-on-demand platforms. In February 2016, the Company announced that it initiated a process to explore opportunities for a significant strategic minority equity investment in Paramount Pictures.
We operate through two reporting segments: Media Networks and Filmed Entertainment . Our measure of segment performance is adjusted operating income/(loss). We define adjusted operating income/(loss) for our segments as operating income/(loss), before equity-based compensation and certain other items identified as affecting comparability, when applicable. Equity-based compensation is excluded from our segment measure of performance since it is set and approved by the Compensation Committee of Viacom’s Board of Directors in consultation with corporate executive management, and is included as a component of consolidated adjusted operating income.
When applicable, we use consolidated adjusted operating income, adjusted earnings before provision for income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to Viacom and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), among other measures, to evaluate our actual operating performance and for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because they clarify our actual operating performance, make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way as our management. Since these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income, earnings before provision for income taxes, provision for income taxes, net earnings attributable to Viacom and diluted EPS as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. For a reconciliation of our adjusted measures and discussion of the items affecting comparability, refer to the section entitled “ Factors Affecting Comparability ”.
Media Networks
Our Media Networks segment generates revenues in three categories: (i) the sale of advertising and marketing services, (ii) affiliate fees from cable television operators, direct-to-home satellite television operators, mobile networks, video-on-demand services, and other distributors of our programming and program services, and (iii) ancillary revenues, which include consumer products licensing, brand licensing, sale of content on DVDs and Blu-ray discs, licensing of our content for download-to-own and download-to-rent services and television syndication.

18

Table of Contents
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
(continued)


Media Networks segment expenses consist of operating expenses, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and depreciation and amortization. Operating expenses are comprised of costs related to original and acquired programming, including programming amortization, expenses associated with the distribution of home entertainment products and consumer products licensing, participation fees, integrated marketing expenses and other costs of sales. SG&A expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, marketing, research and professional service fees and facility and occupancy costs. Depreciation and amortization expenses reflect depreciation of fixed assets, including transponders financed under capital leases, and amortization of finite-lived intangible assets.
Filmed Entertainment
Our Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenues worldwide principally from: (i) the theatrical release and/or distribution of motion pictures, (ii) home entertainment, which includes sales of DVDs and Blu-ray discs relating to the motion pictures we release theatrically and direct-to-DVD, as well as content distributed on behalf of Viacom and third parties, transactional video-on-demand and download-to-own services, (iii) licensing of film and television exhibition rights to pay and basic cable television, free television, subscription video-on-demand and free video-on-demand services and (iv) ancillary revenues from providing production services to third parties, primarily at Paramount’s studio lot, licensing of its brands for consumer products, theme parks and other uses, and distribution of content specifically developed for digital platforms.
Filmed Entertainment segment expenses consist of operating expenses, SG&A expenses and depreciation and amortization. Operating expenses principally include the amortization of film costs of our released feature films (including participations and residuals), print and advertising expenses and other distribution costs. We incur marketing costs before and throughout the theatrical release of a film and, to a lesser extent, other distribution windows. Such costs are incurred to generate public interest in our films and are expensed as incurred; therefore, we typically incur losses with respect to a particular film prior to and during the film’s theatrical exhibition and profitability may not be realized until well after a film’s theatrical release. Therefore, the results of the Filmed Entertainment segment can be volatile as films work their way through the various distribution windows. SG&A expenses include employee compensation, facility and occupancy costs, professional service fees and other overhead costs. Depreciation and amortization expense principally consists of depreciation of fixed assets.

Factors Affecting Comparability
The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP. Our results have been affected by certain items identified as affecting comparability. Accordingly, when applicable, we use non-GAAP measures, including consolidated adjusted operating income, adjusted earnings before provision for income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to Viacom and adjusted diluted EPS, to evaluate our actual operating performance and for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe that the adjusted results provide relevant and useful information for investors because they clarify our actual operating performance, make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way

These measures of performance are calculated on a basis other than GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income, earnings before provision for income taxes, provision for income taxes, net earnings attributable to Viacom and diluted EPS as indicators of operating performance, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

*Represents amount calculated by applying the tax rates applicable to the adjustments presented.
Discrete taxes : The net discrete tax benefit in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was principally related to the release of tax reserves upon the remeasurement of excess foreign tax credits associated with the reorganization of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of 2015. The net discrete tax expense in each of the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was principally related to a reduction in qualified production activity tax benefits as a result of retroactively reenacted legislation, partially offset by reserve releases.
Restructuring and programming charges : The nine months ended June 30, 2015 reflect a pre-tax charge of $784 million recognized in connection with a company-wide review across our worldwide Media Networks, Filmed Entertainment operations and corporate functions. The company-wide review resulted in the implementation of significant strategic and operational improvements aimed at addressing the ratings challenges experienced by our networks and enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations, including a new programming strategy shifting focus away from repeated acquired programming and toward fresher, first-run original programming specifically targeted to appeal to our youth and family-oriented demographics.

20

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
(continued)


As a result of the review, we reorganized our operating segments and the newly structured operating segment management performed a comprehensive strategic review of existing programming, resulting in the identification of programming not aligned with the Company’s new strategy. Decisions were made to cease airing certain programs, alter future airing patterns of certain other programs, and move some programming to secondary networks that would not generate sufficient revenues to support their carrying value.
The charge consisted of $578 million of programming charges and a $206 million restructuring charge associated with workforce reductions. See “ Segment Results of Operations ” for additional discussion of the impact of the restructuring and programming charges on segment expenses.
Loss on pension settlement : The pre-tax non-cash charge of $24 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2015  was driven by the settlement of pension benefits of certain participants of our funded pension plan.
Revenues
Worldwide revenues increased $49 million , or 2% , to $3.107 billion in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 . Media Networks revenues decreased $84 million , or 3% , principally reflecting lower affiliate revenues. Filmed Entertainment revenues increased $142 million , or 30% , primarily reflecting higher license fees and theatrical revenues.
Worldwide revenues decreased $218 million , or 2% , to $9.262 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 . Media Networks revenues decreased $244 million , or 3% , principally reflecting lower affiliate and advertising revenues. Filmed Entertainment revenues increased $30 million , or 2% , primarily driven by higher license fees, partially offset by lower home entertainment revenues.
Expenses
Total expenses increased $364 million , or 18% , to $2.338 billion in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , reflecting higher segment expenses. Total expenses decreased $355 million , or 5% , to $7.068 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 , primarily due to $784 million of restructuring and programming charges and a $24 million loss on pension settlement in the prior year, partially offset by higher segment expenses in the current year. Media Networks expenses increased $158 million , or 11% , in the quarter and $143 million , or 3% , in the nine months, reflecting higher operating and SG&A expenses. Filmed Entertainment expenses increased $216 million , or 50% , in the quarter and $327 million , or 17% , in the nine months, driven by higher operating expenses.
Operating
Operating expenses increased $323 million , or 26% , to $1.575 billion in the quarter and declined $109 million , or 2% , to $4.822 billion in the nine months. Consolidated operating expenses included a programming charge of $578 million in the prior year nine month period, as described in more detail in the “ Factors Affecting Comparability ” discussion above. Media Networks operating expenses increased $92 million , or 10% , in the quarter and $101 million , or 3% , in the nine months. Filmed Entertainment operating expenses increased $239 million , or 73% , in the quarter and $370 million , or 24% , in the nine months.
Selling, General and Administrative
SG&A expenses increased $42 million , or 6% , to $708 million in the quarter and declined $38 million , or 2% , to $2.080 billion in the nine months. Media Networks SG&A expenses increased $67 million , or 13% , in the quarter and $42 million , or 3% , in the nine months. Filmed Entertainment SG&A expenses decreased $22 million , or 24% , in the quarter and $42 million , or 15% , in the nine months. Consolidated SG&A expenses included a $24 million loss on pension settlement in the prior year nine month period, as described in more detail in the “ Factors Affecting Comparability ” discussion above.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $315 million , or 29% , to $769 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , reflecting the operating results discussed above. Media Networks adjusted operating income decreased $242 million , or 22% , reflecting an increase in expenses and revenue declines. Filmed Entertainment adjusted operating results decreased $74 million principally reflecting distribution costs for our release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows . In addition, corporate expenses increased $2 million , or 3% , principally resulting from expenses associated with corporate governance matters and transaction related costs.
Operating income increased $137 million , or 7% , to $2.194 billion in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 , reflecting the operating results discussed above. Excluding the items discussed in “ Factors Affecting Comparability ”, adjusted operating income decreased $671 million , or 23% , to $2.194 billion in the nine months. Media Networks adjusted operating income decreased $387 million , or 12% , principally reflecting revenue declines as well as an increase in programming expenses. Filmed Entertainment adjusted operating loss increased $297 million , reflecting lower contribution from current year films in

release across the distribution windows. In addition, corporate expenses decreased $13 million , or 7% , principally due to lower employee-related costs.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 30.7% and 33.2% in the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Discrete tax benefit of $13 million reduced the effective income tax rate by 2.1 percentage points in the quarter and discrete tax expense of $8 million contributed 0.4 percentage points to the effective income tax rate in the nine months. Excluding the impact of discrete tax items, our adjusted effective income tax rate was 32.8% in both the quarter and nine months.
Our effective income tax rate was 31.8% and 32.2% in the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively. Discrete tax expense of $23 million in the nine months, taken together with the other factors affecting comparability discussed above, as applicable, contributed 0.4 percentage points to the effective income tax rate in the nine months. Excluding the impact of discrete tax items, our adjusted effective income tax rate was 31.8% in the nine months.
Net Earnings Attributable to Viacom
Net earnings attributable to Viacom decreased $159 million , or 27% , to $432 million in the quarter, principally due to the decline in tax-effected operating income described above, partially offset by the impact of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net earnings attributable to Viacom increased $146 million , or 14% , to $1.184 billion in the nine months, principally due to the increase in tax-effected operating income described above and the impact of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. Excluding the items noted above under “ Factors Affecting Comparability ”, adjusted net earnings attributable to Viacom decreased $172 million , or 29% , to $419 million in the quarter and $404 million , or 25% , to $1.192 billion in the nine months.
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Diluted EPS decreased $0.38 per diluted share to $1.09 in the quarter and increased $0.44 per diluted share to $2.98 in the nine months, reflecting the impact of net earnings. Excluding the items noted above under “ Factors Affecting Comparability ”, adjusted diluted EPS decreased $0.42 per diluted share to $1.05 in the quarter and $0.91 per diluted share to $3.00 in the nine months.
Segment Results of Operations
Transactions between reportable segments are accounted for as third-party arrangements for the purposes of presenting segment results of operations. Typical intersegment transactions include the purchase of advertising by the Filmed Entertainment segment on Media Networks’ properties and the purchase of Filmed Entertainment’s feature films and television programming exhibition rights by Media Networks .

Revenues
Worldwide revenues decreased $84 million , or 3% , to $2.513 billion and $244 million , or 3% , to $7.459 billion in the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Domestic revenues decreased 7% to $2.028 billion and 4% to $6.034

billion in the quarter and nine months , respectively. International revenues increased 13% in the quarter to $485 million and 3% in the nine months to $1.425 billion . Foreign exchange had a 5-percentage point and 6-percentage point unfavorable impact on international revenues in the quarter and nine months , respectively.
Advertising
Worldwide advertising revenues decreased $7 million , or 1% , to $1.216 billion in the quarter and $103 million , or 3% , to $3.659 billion in the nine months. Domestic advertising revenues decreased 4% in both the quarter and nine months. While pricing increased, reduced unit loads and softer ratings at certain of our networks caused lower audience delivery, reducing impressions and associated revenue. International advertising revenues increased 13% in the quarter and 3% in the nine months. Excluding foreign exchange, which had a 6-percentage point and 7-percentage point unfavorable impact, international advertising revenues increased 19% and 10% in the quarter and nine months , respectively, driven by growth in Europe.
Affiliate Fees
Worldwide affiliate fee revenues decreased $96 million , or 8% , to $1.148 billion in the quarter and $126 million , or 4% , to $3.396 billion in the nine months. Domestic affiliate revenues decreased 10% in the quarter and 5% in the nine months, principally reflecting a difficult comparison with product made available under certain distribution agreements in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact from the timing of product available under certain distribution agreements, domestic affiliate revenues declined in the low single digits in the quarter and were substantially flat in the nine months due to a modest decline in subscribers and the impact of a rate adjustment with a major distributor, partially offset by rate increases across the remaining subscriber base. For the full fiscal year 2016, we expect domestic affiliate revenues to decline at a low- to mid-single-digit rate. Due to continuing uncertainty around the timing of completion of a significant distribution agreement, domestic affiliate revenues could decline at a mid- to high-single-digit rate. International affiliate revenues increased 9% in the quarter and 2% in the nine months. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, which had a 3-percentage point unfavorable impact, international affiliate revenues increased 12% in the quarter, driven by the completion of certain distribution agreements. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, which had a 6-percentage point unfavorable impact, international affiliate revenues increased 8% in the nine months, driven by new channel launches, increased subscribers, rate increases and the completion of certain distribution agreements.
Ancillary
Worldwide ancillary revenue increased $19 million , or 15% , to $149 million in the quarter, principally driven by higher consumer product revenue. Worldwide ancillary revenue decreased $15 million , or 4% , to $404 million in the nine months, principally reflecting lower television syndication revenue.
Expenses
Total expenses increased $158 million , or 11% , to $1.641 billion in the quarter and $143 million , or 3% , to $4.725 billion in the nine months.
Operating
Operating expenses increased $92 million , or 10% , to $1.036 billion in the quarter, and $101 million , or 3% , to $2.989 billion in the nine months. Programming costs increased $101 million , or 12% , in the quarter and $126 million , or 5% , in the nine months, primarily reflecting our continuing investment in original content. Programming costs reflect 4-percentage points of benefit in the nine months attributable to programming abandoned or impaired in the second fiscal quarter of 2015, as previously described in the “ Factors Affecting Comparability ” section. Distribution and other expenses decreased $9 million , or 8% , in the quarter and $25 million , or 8% , in the nine months, primarily driven by lower participation costs on certain distribution agreements and ancillary expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative
SG&A expenses increased $67 million , or 13% , to $564 million in the quarter and $42 million , or 3% , to $1.612 billion in the nine months, principally driven by higher advertising and promotion costs, partially offset by 3-percentage points and 4-percentage points of benefit in the quarter and nine months, respectively, from our 2015 restructuring. Refer to the “ Factors Affecting Comparability ” section above for a discussion of our restructuring charge taken in the second fiscal quarter of 2015.
Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted operating income decreased $242 million , or 22% , to $872 million and $387 million , or 12% , to $2.734 billion in the quarter and nine months, respectively, reflecting the operating results discussed above.

Revenues
Worldwide revenues increased $142 million , or 30% , to $621 million , and $30 million , or 2% , to $1.888 billion in the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Domestic revenues were $326 million , an increase of 23% , and substantially flat at $1.003 billion in the quarter and nine months , respectively. International revenues increased 38% to $295 million in the quarter and 4% to $885 million in the nine months, with foreign exchange having a 4-percentage point and 5-percentage point unfavorable impact on international revenues in the quarter and nine months, respectively.
Theatrical
Worldwide theatrical revenues increased $71 million , or 355% , to $91 million in the quarter, with both domestic and international revenues benefiting from the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows in the quarter.

Worldwide theatrical revenues increased $8 million , or 2% , to $402 million in the nine months. Revenues from our current year releases increased $54 million due to the number and mix of releases, and carryover revenues decreased $46 million principally reflecting revenues in the prior year period from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . Significant current year releases were Daddy's Home , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows , The Big Short and 10 Cloverfield Lane , compared with The SpongeBob Movie : Sponge Out of Water and Interstellar in the prior year. Domestic theatrical revenues decreased 6% due to the weak performance of certain films in our current year slate compared with the prior year's performance of Interstellar and SpongeBob Movie : Sponge Out of Water , while international theatrical revenues increased 15% . Foreign exchange had an 11-percentage point unfavorable impact on international theatrical revenues.
Home Entertainment
Worldwide home entertainment revenues decreased $7 million , or 4% , to $192 million in the quarter, primarily reflecting the number and mix of current quarter releases. Significant current quarter releases were 13 Hours : The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and 10 Cloverfield Lane , while the prior year quarter included The SpongeBob Movie : Sponge Out of Water and The Gambler. Domestic home entertainment revenues decreased 3% and international home entertainment revenues decreased 4% . Foreign exchange had a 4-percentage point unfavorable impact on international home entertainment revenues.

Worldwide home entertainment revenues decreased $125 million , or 18% , to $584 million in the nine months, primarily reflecting lower carryover revenues due to the mix of available titles, including revenues from Transformers : Age of Extinction in the prior year, as well as lower revenues associated with third-party distribution titles. Significant releases in the current year were Mission : Impossible - Rogue Nation , Terminator : Genisys , Daddy's Home and The Big Short , while significant releases in the prior year included Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , Interstellar , Hercules and The SpongeBob Movie : Sponge Out of Water. Domestic home entertainment revenues decreased 9% and international home entertainment revenues decreased 31% . Foreign exchange had a 5-percentage point unfavorable impact on international home entertainment revenues.

(continued)


License Fees
License fees increased $83 million , or 39% , to $297 million , and $165 million , or 27% , to $774 million , in the quarter and nine months , respectively, primarily driven by the licensing of certain titles in subscription video-on-demand and delivery of television product.

Expenses
Total expenses increased $216 million , or 50% , to $647 million in the quarter and $327 million , or 17% , to $2.196 billion in the nine months, driven by higher operating expenses.
Operating
Operating expenses increased $239 million , or 73% , to $567 million in the quarter and $370 million , or 24% , to $1.920 billion , in the nine months, principally due to costs associated with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows this quarter. Film costs increased $157 million , or 74% , in the quarter and $241 million , or 30% , in the nine months. Distribution and other costs, principally print and advertising expenses, increased $82 million , or 70% , in the quarter and $129 million , or 17% , in the nine months.
Selling, General and Administrative
SG&A expenses decreased $22 million , or 24% , to $68 million , and $42 million , or 15% , to $238 million , in the quarter and nine months , respectively, primarily driven by lower employee-related costs.
Adjusted Operating Income/(Loss)
Adjusted operating loss was $26 million in the quarter compared with adjusted operating income of $48 million for the prior year quarter and adjusted operating loss was $308 million for the nine months compared with $11 million for the prior year nine month period. The decline in results in the quarter and nine months reflect the underperformance of current year films, such as Zoolander 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Operating losses reflect the recognition of print and advertising expenses incurred in the period, generally before and throughout the theatrical release of a film, while revenues for the respective films are recognized as earned through its theatrical exhibition and subsequent distribution windows. We expect to generate an adjusted operating loss for the quarter and fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 principally reflecting the underperformance of certain films in the current year slate.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided through the operations of our businesses. We have access to external financing sources such as our $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility and the capital markets. Our principal uses of cash from operations include the creation of new programming and film content, acquisitions of third-party content, and interest and income tax payments. We also use cash for the repayment of debt, quarterly cash dividends and capital expenditures, as well as discretionary share repurchases under our stock repurchase program, as deemed appropriate.
We believe that our cash flows from operating activities together with our credit facility provide us with adequate resources to fund our anticipated ongoing cash requirements. We anticipate that future debt maturities will be funded with cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and future access to capital markets, including our credit facility. Share repurchases under the program are expected to be funded through a combination of debt and cash generated by operations, as deemed appropriate.
We may continue to access external financing from time to time depending on our cash requirements, assessments of current and anticipated market conditions and after-tax cost of capital. Our access to capital markets can be impacted by factors outside our control, including economic conditions; however, we believe that our strong cash flows and balance sheet, our credit facility and our credit rating will provide us with adequate access to funding given our expected cash needs. Any new borrowing cost would be affected by market conditions and short and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to access capital markets on terms and conditions that will be favorable to us.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
(continued)


Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $192 million as of June 30, 2016 , a decrease of $314 million compared with September 30, 2015 .
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $400 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 , a decrease of $680 million compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily reflecting unfavorable working capital requirements.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $139 million and $85 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, reflecting higher spending on acquisitions and investments.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $545 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 , primarily driven by dividend payments of $476 million , the repayment of the $368 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.250% Senior Notes due April 2016 and the settlement of share repurchases totaling $100 million , partially offset by $453 million of commercial paper borrowings.
Cash used in financing activities was $1.507 billion for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily driven by settlement of share repurchases totaling $1.548 billion and dividend payments of $405 million , partially offset by net proceeds of $390 million from debt transactions. Proceeds of $990 million from the issuance of senior notes and debentures were partially offset by the repayment of the $600 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.250% Senior Notes due February 2015.
Capital Resources
Capital Structure and Debt
Total debt was $12.365 billion as of June 30, 2016 , an increase of $80 million from $12.285 billion at September 30, 2015 .
In the third quarter, we repaid the $368 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.250% Senior Notes due April 2016.
Credit Facility
At June 30, 2016 , there were no amounts outstanding under our credit facility. The credit facility is used for general corporate purposes and to support commercial paper outstanding. The amount of unused capacity under the credit facility, after deducting commercial paper outstanding of $453 million with a weighted average maturity of 29 days and weighted average interest rate of 1.24% , was $2.05 billion as of June 30, 2016 . The credit facility has one principal financial covenant that requires our interest coverage for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters to be at least 3.0x, which we met as of June 30, 2016 .
Stock Repurchase Program
During the nine months ended June 30, 2016 , we repurchased 2.1 million shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million , leaving $ 4.9 billion of remaining capacity under our program.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
(continued)


CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” contains both historical and forward-looking statements. All statements that are not statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations concerning future results, objectives, plans and goals, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and which may cause future results, performance or achievements to differ. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others: the effect of actions taken in the name of the Company's controlling stockholder to affect control of the Company and the related uncertainty under which the Company is operating; the public acceptance of our brands, programs, motion pictures and other entertainment content on the various platforms on which they are distributed; the impact of inadequate audience measurement on our program ratings, advertising revenues and affiliate fees; technological developments and their effect in our markets and on consumer behavior; competition for content, audiences, advertising and distribution; the impact of piracy; economic fluctuations in advertising and retail markets, and economic conditions generally; fluctuations in our results due to the timing, mix, number and availability of our motion pictures and other programming; the potential for loss of carriage or other reduction in the distribution of our content; changes in the Federal communications or other laws and regulations; evolving cybersecurity and similar risks; other domestic and global economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting our businesses generally; and other factors described below and in our news releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to our 2015 Form 10-K and reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements included in this document are made only as of the date of this document, and we do not have any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations and changes in the market value of investments. In the ordinary course of business, we may employ established and prudent policies and procedures to manage our exposure principally to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange risks. The objective of such policies and procedures is to manage exposure to market risks in order to minimize the impact on earnings and cash flows. We do not hold or enter into financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) were effective, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Since our 2015 Form 10-K, there have been no material developments in the material legal proceedings in which we are involved, except as set forth in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
A wide range of risks may affect our business and financial results, now and in the future. We consider the risks described in our 2015 Form 10-K and below to be the most significant. There may be other currently unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results.
Through National Amusements’ Voting Control of Viacom and CBS Corporation, Certain Members of Management, Directors and Stockholders May Face Actual or Potential Conflicts of Interest, and National Amusements is in a Position to Control Actions that Require, or May be Accomplished by, Stockholder Approval
National Amusements, directly and indirectly, is the controlling stockholder of both Viacom and CBS. National Amusements owns shares in Viacom representing approximately 79.8% of the voting interest in Viacom and approximately 10% of Viacom’s combined common stock. National Amusements is controlled by Mr. Redstone, who is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NAI, through the SMR Trust, which owns shares in National Amusements representing 80% of the voting interest of National Amusements. Shares of National Amusements held by the SMR Trust are voted solely by Mr. Redstone until such time as his incapacity or death. Upon Mr. Redstone’s incapacity or death, (1) Ms. Redstone, who is the non-executive Vice Chair of Viacom and the President and a director of National Amusements, will also become a trustee of the SMR Trust and (2) the shares of National Amusements held by the SMR Trust will be voted by the trustees of the SMR Trust. The trustees of the SMR Trust include Mr. Redstone and Mr. Andelman, a member of the boards of directors of National Amusements and CBS. On May 20, 2016, Mr. Dauman, our Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Abrams, a member of the Board of Directors, received notice stating that they had been removed as Trustees of the SMR Trust and as directors and managers of National Amusements and its subsidiaries. Mr. Redstone serves as our Chairman Emeritus and as the Chairman Emeritus of CBS. Ms. Redstone, who is Mr. Redstone’s daughter, serves as the non-executive Vice Chair of our Board of Directors as well as of the Board of Directors of CBS. The purported removal of Messrs. Dauman and Abrams as trustees of the SMR Trust and as directors and managers of National Amusements and its subsidiaries is being disputed. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The National Amusements ownership structure and the common directors among National Amusements, Viacom and CBS could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest when the management, directors and controlling stockholder of the commonly controlled entities face decisions that could have different implications for each entity. For example, potential conflicts of interest could arise in connection with the resolution of any dispute between us and CBS. Potential conflicts of interest, or the appearance thereof, could also arise when we and CBS enter into any commercial arrangements with each other, despite review by our directors not affiliated with CBS. Our certificate of incorporation and the CBS certificate of incorporation both contain provisions related to corporate opportunities that may be of interest to us and to CBS, and these provisions create the possibility that a corporate opportunity of one company may be used for the benefit of the other company.
In addition, National Amusement’s voting control of us allows it to control the outcome of corporate actions that require, or may be accomplished by, stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, the amendment of the Bylaws, and transactions involving a change in control. For example, on June 6, 2016, NAI delivered to Viacom stockholder written consents purporting to amend certain provisions of the Bylaws, requiring that any sale or financial transaction affecting all or a portion of Paramount and various other Viacom subsidiaries that are utilized in the conduct of business of Paramount must be unanimously approved by all of the members of the Board of Directors then in office, and specifying that the Board of Directors can amend the Bylaws only by an affirmative vote of all members of the Board of Directors then in office, giving each of Mr. Redstone and Ms. Redstone veto power over any transaction for a significant strategic minority investment in Paramount, even if such a transaction would otherwise create value for other Viacom stockholders. For so long as National Amusements retains voting control of us, our stockholders, other than National Amusements, will be unable to affect the outcome of any corporate actions including a sale of all or a portion of Paramount. The interests of National Amusements may not be the same as the interests of our other stockholders, who must rely on our independent directors to represent their interests.

The Company’s Business and Stock Prices May Be Adversely Affected by the Uncertainty Created by Certain Pending Litigation and by Actions Taken in the Name of the Company’s Controlling Stockholder
The recent and highly public controversy relating to the Company’s governance (including the various litigation proceedings described above) has created a significant degree of uncertainty with respect to the Company. We do not know how long the disputes will continue or who will be determined to be the ultimate directors of the Company following the conclusion of the proceedings. In addition, we have received notice from Mr. Dauman, our Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Dooley, our Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, that, should a final court judgment establish the validity of the Purported Director Replacements, each executive exercises the right to resign for “Good Reason” effective 31 days after the entry of such an order, adding to the uncertainty and potentially resulting in significant costs to Viacom. We are incurring legal expenses, which could be significant and the full amount of which are difficult to predict.
In addition, NAI’s proposed Bylaw amendments, as well as certain statements made by representatives of NAI with respect to the matters described in Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, may make it difficult or impossible for management and the current Board of Directors to negotiate or execute on any Paramount transaction.
The foregoing factors are having, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to negotiate, or renegotiate, contractual arrangements on commercially advantageous terms, attract and retain key management and employees, access the capital markets on the most cost efficient terms, and otherwise operate its business in the most efficient manner. These factors are also creating volatility in our stock price, imposing significant demands on the time of senior management and having, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the business operations, financial position and results of operations of the Company.

ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.    Meetings of stockholders may be held at such time and place, within and without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated by the board of directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication.
Section 2.    The annual meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date and hour as shall be determined by the board of directors.
Section 3.    Notice of the place, if any, date, and time of all meetings of the stockholders, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning, here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation).




When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, notice of the place, if any, date, and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, shall be given to each stockholder in conformity herewith. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors and, except as otherwise required by law, shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
Section 4.    The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
Section 5.    Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, may be called by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Whole Board (for purposes of these bylaws, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships), the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Vice Chair of the Board and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice Chair of the Board or Secretary at the request in writing of the holders of record of at least 50.1% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, acting together as a single class. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. The board of directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled meeting.

2



Section 6.    Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
Section 7.    At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for all purposes except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.
Section 8.    When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of the capital stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by provision of applicable law or of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
Section 9.    At every meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to vote, in person or by a valid proxy given by the stockholder or his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact, each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and, if applicable, the certificate of designations relating thereto, but no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Section 10.    Any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing (or deemed to be in writing under applicable law), setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by stockholders (or deemed to be signed by stockholders under applicable law) representing not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such actions at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered and dated as required by law. Prompt notice of the taking of such action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. The Secretary shall file such consents with the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders.
Section 11.    At all meetings of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall have absolute authority over matters of procedure, and there shall be no appeal from the ruling of the chairman.
Section 12.    Attendance of a stockholder, in person or by proxy, at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the stockholder, in person or by proxy, attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Unless otherwise stated in the notice thereof, any and all business may be transacted at a special meeting.
Section 8.    At all meetings of the board a majority of the directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of directors, unless the vote of a greater number is required by statute, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the board of directors, a majority of the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting to another place, date or time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting.

Section 2.      In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may, except as otherwise required by law, fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and

10



which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If the board of directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by the DGCL with respect to the proposed action by consent of the stockholders without a meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action.

INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES
Section 1.     Right to Indemnification . The Corporation shall indemnify any present or former employee of the Corporation who was or is involved in or is threatened to be involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (such person, an “indemnitee”), to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 7 of this Article VII with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the indemnitee, if and only if the board of directors authorized the bringing of the action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) in advance of the commencement of the proceeding.
Section 2.     Successful Defense . To the extent that an indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 of this Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Section 3.     Advance Payment of Expenses . Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate, by resolution of the board of directors.

12



Section 4.     Not Exclusive . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation is authorized to enter into an agreement with any employee of the Corporation providing indemnification for such person against expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that result from any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, that arises by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the fullest extent allowed by law, except that no such agreement shall provide for indemnification for any actions that constitute fraud, actual dishonesty or willful misconduct.
Section 5.     Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.
Section 6.     Certain Definitions . For the purposes of this Article VII, (a) any employee of the Corporation who shall serve or has served as an employee of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, is or was a stockholder or creditor, or in which the Corporation is or was in any way interested, or (b) any current or former employee of any subsidiary corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise wholly owned by the Corporation, shall be deemed to be serving as such employee at the request of the Corporation, unless the board of directors of the Corporation shall determine otherwise. In all other instances where any person shall serve or has served as an employee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the Corporation is or was a stockholder or creditor, or in which it is or was otherwise interested, if it is not otherwise established that such person is or was serving as such employee at the request of the Corporation, the board of directors of the Corporation may determine whether such service is or was at the request of the Corporation, and it shall not be necessary to show any actual or prior request for such service. For purposes of this Article VII, references to a corporation include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger (including any constituent of a constituent) as well as the resulting or surviving corporation so that any person who is or was an employee of such a constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as an employee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving

13



corporation as he or she would if he or she had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as an employee of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries, and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VII.
Section 7.     Proceedings to Enforce Rights to Indemnification . (a) If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, or a claim under Section 3 of this Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. Any such written claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article VII shall include such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Any written claim under Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Article VII shall include reasonable documentation of the expenses incurred by the indemnitee.
(b)    If successful in whole or in part in any suit brought pursuant to Section 7(a) of this Article VII, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking to the extent an undertaking would be required of a present director or officer of the Corporation pursuant to Article VI of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (an “undertaking”), the indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid and indemnified for the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit.
(c)    In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of

14



expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
Section 8.      Preservation of Rights . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be an employee of the Corporation, or has ceased to serve at the request of the Corporation as an employee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Any repeal or modification of this Article VII by the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an employee of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

Payment of Dividend Equivalents that have been credited to the Participant's account will not be made with respect to any Director RSUs that do not vest and are cancelled. If the Participant elects to defer settlement of the Director RSUs included in an Annual RSU Grant or in an LID Grant pursuant to Section 2.3(c) above, the Participant will continue to earn Dividend Equivalents on the deferred Director RSUs (including any deferred Director RSUs that resulted from crediting Dividend Equivalents on the vesting date, or any subsequent date, pursuant to this Section 3(b)) through the settlement date. All such Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant's account with respect to deferred Director RSUs shall be converted, on the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing after the dividend payment date (or if the dividend payment date is the first day of a calendar quarter, on the dividend payment date), into additional whole and/or fractional Director RSUs, based on the Fair Market Value of the Class B Common Stock on such first day of the relevant calendar quarter. Such additional Director RSUs shall be deferred subject to the same terms and conditions (including payment schedule) as the Director RSUs to which the Dividend Equivalents originally related.
(c)      Dividend Equivalents on Elective RSU Grants . Dividend Equivalents shall accrue on Director RSUs included in Elective RSU Grants through the relevant settlement date. All such Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant's account shall be converted, as of the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing after the dividend payment date (or if the dividend payment date is the first day of a calendar quarter, on the dividend payment date), into additional whole and/or fractional Director RSUs, based on the Fair Market Value of the Class B Common Stock on such first day of the relevant calendar quarter. Such additional Director RSUs shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including payment schedule) as the Director RSUs to which the Dividend Equivalents originally related.
(d)     Settlement of Cash Balance . The aggregate dollar amount of Dividend Equivalents on deferred Director RSUs and Director RSUs included in Elective RSU Grants that have not yet converted to additional Director RSUs at the time any such Director RSUs are settled shall be paid in shares of Class B Common stock determined by dividing (i) the aggregate amount of such unconverted Dividend Equivalents credited on the Director RSUs that are being settled by (ii) the Fair Market Value on the settlement date, with any fractional shares resulting from this calculation paid in cash.
ARTICLE IV
EFFECT OF CERTAIN CORPORATE CHANGES
In the event of any merger, consolidation, stock‑split, dividend (other than a regular cash dividend), distribution, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, split-off or spin-off that changes the character or amount of the shares of Class B Common Stock or any other changes in the corporate structure, equity securities or capital structure of the Company, the Board shall make such proportionate adjustments to (i) the number and kind of securities subject to any outstanding Awards,

Viacom Inc.
2016 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan

2016 Terms and Conditions to the Stock Option Certificate


ARTICLE I
TERMS OF STOCK OPTIONS

Section 1.1     Grant of Stock Options .  The Stock Options have been awarded to the Participant subject to the terms and conditions contained in (A) the confirmation for the May 18, 2016 grant of Stock Options provided to the Participant (the “ Stock Option Certificate ”) and the Terms and Conditions contained herein (collectively with the Stock Option Certificate, the “ Certificate ”) and (B) the Plan, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference.  A copy of the Plan and the Prospectus dated May 18, 2016 are being provided simultaneously to the Participant on-line or attached hereto.  Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Stock Option Certificate or the Plan.  The Stock Options are not intended to be, or qualify as, “Incentive Stock Options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

Section 1.2     Terms of Stock Options .

(a)     Exercisability .  The Stock Options shall be exercisable only to the extent the Participant is vested therein. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained in the Certificate and in the Plan, the Stock Options shall vest in four installments of an approximately equal whole number of Stock Options on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

(b)     Option Period .  Except as provided in Section 1.2(c) hereof, the period during which the Stock Options may be exercised shall expire on the eighth anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “ Expiration Date ”).  If the Participant remains employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries through the Expiration Date, his or her Outstanding Stock Options may be exercised to the extent exercisable until the close of trading (generally 4:00 p.m. New York time) on the last trading day falling within the exercise period on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“ NASDAQ ”) or, if different, the principal stock exchange on which the Class B Common Stock is then listed.  Thus, if the Expiration Date is not a trading day, then the last day the Stock Options may be exercised is the last trading day preceding the Expiration Date.

(c)     Exercise in the Event of Termination of Employment, Retirement, or Death .

(i)     Termination of Employment (other than Termination for Cause) .  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.2 or as otherwise determined by the Committee (including in any applicable employment agreement), in the event of the Participant’s termination of employment other than a termination of employment for Cause, the Participant’s Outstanding Stock Options can be exercised in accordance with the following provisions:

(A)    if the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of the voluntary termination by the Participant or the termination by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than a termination of employment for Cause,

1



the Participant may exercise his or her Outstanding Stock Options to the extent exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment until the earlier of six months after such date or the Expiration Date;

(B)    if the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of the Participant’s Retirement, the Participant may exercise his or her Outstanding Stock Options to the extent exercisable on the date of Retirement until the earlier of the third anniversary of such date or the Expiration Date; and

(C)    if the Participant dies during a period during which the Participant could have exercised his or her Stock Options, the Participant’s Outstanding Stock Options may be exercised to the extent exercisable at the date of death by the person who acquired the right to exercise such Stock Options by will or the laws of descent and distribution, permitted transfer, or beneficiary designation, until the earlier of the second anniversary of the date of death or the Expiration Date.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.2 or as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon the occurrence of an event described in clauses (A), (B), or (C) of this Section 1.2(c)(i), all rights with respect to Stock Options that are not vested as of such event will be forfeited.  A “termination of employment” occurs, for purposes of the Stock Options, when a Participant is no longer an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the employment of a Participant who works for a Subsidiary shall also terminate, for purposes of the Stock Options, on the date on which the Participant’s employing company ceases to be a Subsidiary.

(ii)     Termination for Cause .  If the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries ends due to a termination of employment for Cause, then, unless the Committee in its discretion determines otherwise, all Outstanding Stock Options, whether or not then vested, shall terminate effective as of the date of such termination.

(iii)     Exercise Periods following Termination of Employment, Retirement, or Death .  For the purposes of determining the dates on which Stock Options may be exercised following a the occurrence of an event described in clauses (A), (B), or (C) of Section 1.2(c)(i), the day following the occurrence of such event shall be the first day of the exercise period and the Stock Options may be exercised until the close of trading (generally 4:00 p.m. New York time) on the last trading day falling within the exercise period on NASDAQ or, if different, the principal stock exchange on which the Class B Common Stock is then listed.  Thus, if the last day of the exercise period is not a trading day, then the last date the Stock Options may be exercised is the last trading day preceding the end of the exercise period.

Section 1.3     Exercise of Stock Options .

(a)     Whole or Partial Exercise .  The Participant may exercise all vested Outstanding Stock Options granted hereunder in whole at one time or in part in increments of 100 Stock Options (or the entire number of Outstanding Stock Options in which the Participant is vested, if such number is not a multiple of 100) by notice to the Senior Director, Global Equity Services, Viacom Inc., 1515 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, or to such agent(s) for the Company (“ Agent ”) as the Company may from time to time specify, in such manner and at such address as may be specified from time to time by the Company.  Such notice shall (i) state the number of Stock Options being exercised and (ii) be signed (or otherwise authorized in a

2



manner acceptable to the Company) by the person or persons so exercising the Stock Options and, in the event the Stock Options are being exercised (pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(i) hereof) by any person or persons other than the Participant, such exercise is accompanied by proof satisfactory to the Company’s counsel of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Stock Options.  Information concerning any Agent and its address may be obtained by contacting the Senior Director, Global Equity Services.

(b)     Payment of Purchase Price Upon Exercise .  Full payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (which shall be determined by multiplying the number of Stock Options being exercised by the Exercise Price as set forth on the Stock Option Certificate) shall be made on or before the settlement date for the shares of Class B Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the Stock Options.  Unless otherwise provided by the Company, such Exercise Price shall be paid in cash (e.g., check or wire transfer).  In accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Company for this purpose, the Stock Options may be exercised by the Participant through a procedure, approved by the Company from time to time, involving a broker or dealer, that affords the Participant the opportunity to sell immediately some or all of the shares underlying the exercised portion of the Stock Options in order to generate sufficient cash to pay the Exercise Price of the Stock Options.  In addition, if the Company so permits, the Exercise Price may be paid in whole or in part using a net share settlement procedure or through the withholding of shares subject to the Stock Options with a value equal to the Exercise Price. Upon the close of trading on NASDAQ (or, if different, the principal stock exchange on which the Class B Common Stock is then listed) on the Expiration Date (or, if the Expiration Date is not a trading day, then the last trading day immediately preceding the Expiration Date), the Company may, in its discretion, exercise any unexercised Stock Options of Participants then currently employed by the Company or a Subsidiary using a net share settlement procedure or any other procedure permitted by the Certificate and the Plan.

(c)     Outstanding Stock Options .  The number of shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Stock Options that is set forth on the Stock Option Certificate may not reflect the number of Outstanding Stock Options due to Stock Option exercises or adjustments pursuant to Article II.

Exhibit 10.5

Viacom Inc.
2016 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan

2016 Terms and Conditions to the Performance Share Units Certificate
ARTICLE I
TERMS OF PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
Section 1.1     Grant of Performance Share Units . The Performance Share Units (the “ Performance Share Units ”) have been awarded to the Participant subject to the terms and conditions contained in (A) the confirmation for the January 1, 2016, grant of Performance Share Units provided to the Participant (the “ Performance Share Units Certificate ”) and the Terms and Conditions contained herein (collectively with the Performance Share Units Certificate, the “ Certificate ”) and (B) the Plan, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference. A copy of the Plan and the Prospectus dated January 1, 2016, are being provided simultaneously to the Participant on-line or attached hereto. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Performance Share Units Certificate or the Plan. Performance Share Units are notional units of measurement and represent the right to receive a number of shares of Class B Common Stock determined on the basis of the performance of the Class B Common Stock in comparison to the performance of the common stock of companies comprising the Reference Group, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate.
Section 1.2     Terms of Performance Share Units .
(a)     Valuation .    As of the Determination Date, the TSR of the Class B Common Stock over the Measurement Period will be measured against the TSR of the common stock of the companies comprising the Reference Group over the same Measurement Period. Subject to Section 1.2(b), the percentile ranking of the TSR of the Shares as compared to the companies comprising the Reference Group will be used to calculate the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that the Participant will receive, in accordance with the following schedule (the “ Schedule ”):
Schedule
• If the Company achieves less than the 25 th  percentile TSR, the award of Performance Share Units will be forfeited.
• If the Company achieves the 25 th  percentile TSR, the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 25% of the Target Award.
• If the Company achieves the 50 th  percentile TSR, the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 100% of the Target Award.
• If the Company achieves the 100 th  percentile TSR (that is, if it is the first ranked company in the Reference Group for TSR), the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 300% of the Target Award.

1


For Company achievement at intermediate points between the 25th and 50th percentile, or between the 50th percentile and the 100th percentile, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be delivered will be interpolated between the respective number of shares delivered at such percentiles. For example, if the Company were to achieve the 70 th percentile TSR, the number of Shares to be delivered would be 180% of the Target Award.
(b)     EPS Valuation Rule . Notwithstanding the valuation principles set forth in Section 1.2(a), if for the Measurement Period (i) the Company achieves less than the 50 th percentile TSR, and (ii) its earnings per share (“ EPS ”) exceed a hurdle which has been specified by the Committee, then the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be delivered under the award will equal the arithmetic average of the Target Award and the number of shares that would be received under the award pursuant to the Schedule, rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(c)     Settlement and Delivery of Shares . Shares delivered in settlement of the Performance Share Units will be delivered, net of any Shares withheld to satisfy taxes, as follows:
(i)    The number of shares of Class B Common Stock determined pursuant to the Schedule will be delivered no later than four (4) weeks following the Determination Date; and
(ii)    If the Company does not achieve at least the 50 th percentile TSR, any incremental shares of Class B Common Stock in excess of the number of shares determined pursuant to the Schedule to which the Participant is entitled by virtue of Section 1.2(b), if any, will be delivered on the second business day following the delivery of the Company’s audited financial statements in respect of the last year of the applicable Measurement Period (so that it can be determined whether or not the Company attained the EPS hurdle in respect of such award) and in any event no later than March 15 of the year following the last year of the Measurement Period.
(d)     Dividend Equivalents . If the Company pays a regular cash dividend on the Class B Common Stock, the Participant will be credited with Dividend Equivalents in an amount equal to the amount of the dividend that would have been paid on the number of shares of Class B Common Stock included in the Target Award. The Company will credit such Dividend Equivalents when it pays the corresponding dividend on the Class B Common Stock. Dividend Equivalents will vest and be paid at the same time as the Performance Share Units, and the amount paid to the Participant will be based on the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that are delivered to the Participant in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.2, provided that such Dividend Equivalents will be canceled to the extent that application of this Section 1.2 results in the Participant earning less than the Target Award and will be increased to the extent that the application of this Section 1.2 results in the Participant earning more than the Target Award. (For example, if the Participant earns 80% of the Target Award, 20% of the Dividend Equivalents previously credited will be canceled.) The decision to pay a dividend and, if so, the amount of any such dividend, is determined by the Company in its sole discretion. No Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant on any canceled Performance Share Units.

2


(e)     Termination of Employment .
(i)    In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates in a Qualifying Termination prior to December 31, 2018, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that the Participant will receive for the applicable Measurement Period will be determined by multiplying the shares of Class B Common Stock determined under the applicable valuation criteria under Section 1.2(a) or (b) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days starting with and inclusive of January 1, 2016, and ending on the applicable Determination Date and the denominator of which is the number of days starting with and inclusive of January 1, 2016, and ending on December 31, 2018.
(ii)    Unless otherwise specified in the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company, in the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination, the Participant shall forfeit all unvested Performance Share Units as of the date of such event.
ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF CERTAIN CORPORATE CHANGES
In the event of a merger, consolidation, stock split, reverse stock split, dividend, distribution, combination, reclassification, reorganization, split-up, spin-off or recapitalization that changes the character or amount of the Class B Common Stock or any other changes in the corporate structure, equity securities or capital structure of the Company, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if any, to the number and kind of securities subject to the Performance Share Units, as it deems appropriate. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, also make such other adjustments as it deems appropriate in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available hereunder.

Exhibit 10.6
AGREEMENT

This agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into this 13 th day of June, 2016, between Viacom Inc. ("Viacom") and George Abrams ("Abrams") in the following context:

Abrams is a Viacom director;

Pursuant to the purported exercise of authority by Sumner M. Redstone ("Mr. Redstone"), notice was given to Abrams and fellow Viacom director, Philippe Dauman ("Dauman"), purporting to remove them as trustees of the Sumner M. Redstone National Amusements Trust (the "Trust"), as directors of National Amusements, Inc. and as managers of certain subsidiaries of NAI (collectively, “NAI”) (the "Purported Removal Action"); and representatives of Mr. Redstone stated publicly that these actions were intended to have an impact on Abrams and Dauman in their roles at Viacom and, more broadly, on Viacom generally;

In addition, the threat has been made regarding removal in the future of directors of Viacom also pursuant to the purported exercise of authority by Mr. Redstone;

On May 23, 2016, (a) with the support of the independent members of Viacom’s Board of Directors, Abrams and Dauman filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts probate court, challenging the Purported Removal Action and (b) a lawsuit was filed in California Superior Court, purportedly by Mr. Redstone, seeking an order confirming the validity of the removal of Abrams and Dauman as trustees of the Trust (such lawsuits the "Actions");

(1) key positions taken by Abrams and Dauman in the Actions are also key positions Viacom and validly elected directors of Viacom would take in challenging any purported removal of them as invalid purported exercises of authority by Mr. Redstone ("Aligned Key Positions"); (2) the outcome of these Actions could have a direct adverse impact on the ability of Viacom and Viacom directors to assert and prevail on the Aligned Key Positions, and, accordingly, on Viacom's chain of corporate control, on Viacom's governance and on its stockholders; (3) neither Viacom nor its directors have standing to participate in the Actions and directly litigate the Aligned Key Positions; and (4) neither Dauman nor Abrams has any financial interest in the Actions, recognizing that Dauman has various rights under his employment agreement;

Abrams and Dauman have incurred and will continue to incur costs and expenses in connection with litigating the Actions;

On May 26, 2016 the Special Litigation Committee of the Board of Directors of Viacom (the "Committee") determined that it was in the best interests of Viacom and its stockholders to support the efforts of Abrams and Dauman in litigating the Aligned Key Positions by authorizing and directing Viacom to pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with litigating the Actions, subject to certain conditions; and




This Agreement is not intended to replace, override or interfere with any rights to indemnification or advancement that Abrams currently has as a Viacom director, including such rights set forth in Viacom's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and all such rights shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
Payment and Reimbursement. Viacom will pay (as incurred) or, if paid by Abrams, promptly reimburse him for costs and expenses (including attorney's fees, expert witness fees and fees of public relations and other consultants) actually and reasonably incurred by Abrams in connection with the Actions ("Payment Amounts").

2.
Repayment. Abrams will repay Viacom all Payment Amounts to the extent it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that, in instituting the Massachusetts lawsuit, Abrams has acted in breach of his fiduciary or other duties to Viacom or that he has not acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Viacom.

3.
Other Sources. Without limiting his rights under this Agreement, Abrams will also take reasonable steps to seek (through advancement, indemnification or other rights he has) to recoup Payment Amounts from NAI and the Trust as authorized under the respective governing documents of those entities and any agreements entered into by Abrams and those entities and promptly upon such recoupment or other economic recovery from NAI and the Trust related in any way to the subject matter of the Actions shall repay such amounts to Viacom.

4.
Amendments. No modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto.

5.
Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable and to give effect to the terms of this Agreement.

6.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

7.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with

2



the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute relating to this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware or the Federal Courts located therein, and the parties agree not to contest the jurisdiction of such courts. The parties hereby waive their respective rights to a trial by jury.
