                                ---------------
 
  The enclosed Proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of Viacom
Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual
Meeting") to be held May 25, 1995. The Proxy may be revoked at any time prior
to being voted upon by written notice to the Secretary of the Company, by
submission of a Proxy bearing a later date or by voting in person at the
meeting. Each valid and timely Proxy not revoked will be voted at the meeting
in accordance with instructions thereon or if no instructions are specified
thereon, then the Proxy will be voted for the election of the 13 nominated
directors, the approval of the proposed amendments to the Viacom Inc. 1989 and
1994 Long-Term Management Incentive Plans (the "LTMIP Amendments"), the
approval of the Viacom Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the
"1994 Outside Directors' Plan") and the approval of the appointment of Price
Waterhouse LLP as the Company's independent accountants for 1995. A plurality
of the votes cast is required for the election of directors. The affirmative
vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for the approval of the LTMIP
Amendments, the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan and the appointment of the
independent accountants. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be included
in vote totals and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
 
  Holders of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value
("Class A Common Stock"), on the books of the Company at the close of business
on April 3, 1995 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.
The Company then had outstanding 74,693,868 shares of Class A Common Stock,
each of such shares being entitled to one vote, and 285,025,132 shares of non-
voting Class B Common Stock, $0.0l par value ("Class B Common Stock" and,
together with the Class A Common Stock, "Common Stock").
 
  As of April 3, 1995, National Amusements, Inc. ("NAI"), a closely held
corporation that owns and operates more than 900 movie screens in the U.S. and
the U.K., owned approximately 61% of the Class A Common Stock and approximately
26% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a
combined basis. Sumner M. Redstone, the controlling stockholder of NAI, is the
Chairman of the Board of the Company.
 
  NAI has advised the Company that it intends to vote all of its shares of
Class A Common Stock in favor of the election of the 13 nominated directors and
the approval of the LTMIP Amendments, the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan and the
appointment of Price Waterhouse LLP as the Company's independent accountants
for 1995; such action by NAI is sufficient to elect such directors and approve
the LTMIP Amendments, the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan and the appointment of
independent accountants without any action on the part of any other holder of
Class A Common Stock.
 
  The Company was organized in Delaware in 1986 for the purpose of acquiring

for one year and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The
persons named in the enclosed Proxy will vote the shares of Class A Common
Stock covered by such Proxy for the election of the nominees set forth below,

Directors of the Company. If, for any reason, any of said nominees becomes

Messrs. Abrams, Ferguson, Miller and Schwartz were Outside Directors for the entire 1994 calendar year. Mr. Salerno became an Outside Director on January 27, 1994. Mr. Huizenga was an Outside Director until the Blockbuster Merger on September 29, 1994. In 1994, only Outside Directors received any compensation for services as a director. Directors' Fees. Outside Directors received the following fees for 1994: (i) a quarterly fee of $7,500 for membership on the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) a per meeting attendance fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting, $500 for each Audit Committee meeting and $500 for each Compensation Committee meeting, and (iii) a $7,500 annual retainer fee for the Chairman of the Audit Committee (currently Mr. Abrams). Compensation for Messrs. Ferguson and Salerno's services as Outside Directors for 1994 was paid to NYNEX. Compensation for Mr. Huizenga's services as an Outside Director during the period from January 1, 1994 through the Blockbuster Merger on September 29, 1994 was paid to Blockbuster. Deferred Compensation Plan. In 1989, the Company established an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan permitting participating Outside Directors to defer payment of all of their membership and attendance fees. A participant can elect to have deferred fees credited to an account which shall either accrue interest or be deemed invested in a number of stock units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock the amount of such fees would have purchased at such time. Since 1989, Messrs. Abrams, Miller and Schwartz have elected to have their fees credited to their stock unit accounts. The Plan permits participants to elect to have amounts credited to a participant's account paid in a lump sum or in three or five annual installments starting seven months after the director's retirement, with the value of the stock units determined by reference to the fair market values of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at that time and, if the participant had elected installment payments, credited with interest until payment had been made in full. For 1994, the stock unit accounts of Messrs. Abrams, Miller and Schwartz were credited with 950, 829 and 769 Class A Common Stock units, respectively, and 1,048, 907 and 842 Class B Common Stock units, respectively. Retirement Income Plan. In 1989, the Company established an unfunded, non- qualified Retirement Income Plan pursuant to which each Outside Director will receive annual payments commencing on such director's retirement equal to 100% of the amount of the annual Board membership fees at the time of such retirement, provided he has served on the Board for at least three years. The Plan provides that the director or his estate will receive such annual payments for the number of years of such director's service on the Board (with current Outside Directors receiving credit for their years of service on the Board prior to 1989). 1993 Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan. In 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company (with Outside Directors Messrs. Abrams, Miller and Schwartz abstaining) adopted the Viacom Inc. Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Outside Directors' Plan"), which was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 1993 Outside Directors' Plan provides for automatic one-time grants of non-qualified stock options to purchase 5,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (the "1993 Outside Directors' Stock Options") to each Outside Director on May 25, 1993 when such Plan was adopted and to each subsequent Outside Director, effective as of such person's election or appointment to the Board. On May 25, 1993, Messrs. Abrams, Miller and Schwartz, who then constituted the Board's Outside Directors, each received a 1993 Outside Directors' Stock Option grant, with a per share exercise price of $45 1/2 which was the closing price of a share of Class B Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange on the date of grant. Messrs. Huizenga, Ferguson and Salerno each received a 1993 Outside Directors' Stock Option grant when they were appointed to the Board, with per share exercise prices of $53 1/4, $42 1/2 and $36 3/4, respectively, which were the closing prices of a share of the Class B Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange on the dates of their appointment to the Board. Messrs. Ferguson and Salerno each hold their 1993 Outside Directors' Stock Option grants for the benefit of NYNEX. 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan. In November 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company (with Outside Directors Abrams, Ferguson, Miller, Salerno and Schwartz abstaining) adopted the Viacom Inc. 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Outside Directors Plan"), subject to the approval of such Plan by the 7 stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting. For a description of such Plan and terms of the automatic grants of stock options thereunder to the Outside Directors, see "Approval of the Viacom Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors" below. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Messrs. Abrams, Ferguson, Miller, Sumner Redstone, Brent Redstone and Schwartz were members of the Compensation Committee for the entire 1994 calendar year. Mr. Salerno and Ms. Redstone became members of the Compensation Committee when they were appointed to the Board of Directors on January 27, 1994 and November 8, 1994, respectively. Mr. Huizenga resigned from the Compensation Committee on September 29, 1994 when Blockbuster merged into the Company, at which time he became Vice Chairman of the Company and Chairman of the BEG. For further information regarding certain relationships of Messrs. Abrams, Berrard, Huizenga and Miller, see the discussion in "Election of Directors" and "Related Transactions". EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION All members of the Compensation Committee are non-employee directors. The members include Mr. Sumner Redstone, the controlling stockholder of the Company. The Committee reviews and, with any changes it believes appropriate, approves the Company's executive compensation. Independent compensation consultants have advised the Committee with respect to the long-term incentive compensation plans since 1987. The objectives of the executive compensation package for the Company's executive officers are to: . Set levels of base salary and annual bonus compensation that will attract and retain superior executives in the highly competitive environment of entertainment and media companies; . Provide annual bonus compensation for executive officers that varies directly with the Company's financial performance and, in the case of executive officers with divisional responsibilities, also with the financial performance of their respective operating units, and, in addition, reflects the executive officer's individual contribution to that performance; . Provide long-term incentive compensation that is tied to the Company's stock price so as to focus the attention of executives on managing the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake and, in the case of executive officers with divisional responsibilities, is also tied to the financial performance of their respective operating units; and . Emphasize performance-based compensation, through annual bonus compensation and long-term incentive compensation, over fixed compensation. The completion of the acquisition of Paramount Communications and Blockbuster increases the importance of attracting and retaining executives with broad entertainment and media-based experience. Accordingly, the Committee has developed a new compensation package described below for Mr. Biondi and many of the Company's senior executive officers to reflect their new responsibilities as a result of the Mergers. These arrangements are reflected in new (or amended) employment contracts for Mr. Biondi and these senior executive officers. The Committee evaluates the competitiveness of its executive compensation packages based on information from a variety of sources, including information supplied by consultants and information obtained from the media or from the Company's own experience. The Committee also focuses on executive compensation offered by the members of the peer group included in the Performance Graph set forth below as Exhibit I. As a result of the Mergers, the composition of 8 the peer group included in such Performance Graph has been adjusted to more closely resemble the Company's current lines of business. At times, the Committee also evaluates compensation at a broader range of companies, whether or not included in such peer group, that have particular lines of business comparable to those of the Company. Executive Compensation Executive compensation is comprised of base salary, annual bonus compensation and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options. Long-term incentive compensation for executive officers with divisional responsibilities also includes performance share awards tied to divisional performance. Base Salaries Base salary levels for executive officers are designed to be consistent with competitive practice and level of responsibility. New base salary levels have been established for a number of senior executive officers in their new (or amended) employment contracts to reflect their increased responsibilities as a result of the Mergers. Base salary levels for other senior executive officers are generally set forth in their existing employment contracts and increases in their base salary in 1994 were generally made in accordance with their contracts. The employment contracts for Mr. Biondi and the other four named executive officers are described below under "Employment Contracts". Incentive Compensation Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 added Section 162(m) to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally limiting to $1 million the federal tax deductibility of compensation (including stock options) paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the other four named executive officers, starting with the 1994 calendar year. The tax law change includes an exception to the deduction limitation for performance-based compensation (including stock-based compensation, such as stock options), provided such compensation meets certain requirements, including stockholder approval. The Viacom Inc. Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "Senior Executive STIP") and the Viacom Inc. 1994 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan (the "1994 LTMIP") adopted by the Company's Board of Directors in 1994 and approved by the Company's stockholders at the 1994 Annual Meeting, were designed to comply with this exception. The Senior Executive STIP provides objective performance-based annual bonuses starting with the 1994 calendar year for selected executive officers of the Company, subject to a maximum limit of six (6) times the executive's base salary in effect on March 31, 1994. Long-term incentive compensation for the Company's executive officers is being provided under the 1994 LTMIP starting with the 1994 calendar year through grants of stock options. Compensation paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the other four named executive officers for 1994 does not exceed the Section 162(m) deductibility limit because of the stockholder approval of the Senior Executive STIP and the 1994 LTMIP and the deferral of a portion (not in excess of 15%) of annual cash compensation under the Company's 401(k) and excess 401(k) plans and, in the case of Mr. Biondi, pursuant to his employment contract. Annual Bonus Compensation. Annual bonus compensation for 1994 for the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the four named executive officers was provided under the Senior Executive STIP. In accordance with the Senior Executive STIP and as permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee established performance criteria and target awards for these executive officers. The performance criteria related to the attainment of a specified level of operating income for the Company as a whole. The award for Mr. Horowitz was also based on the achievement of performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee for his operating units. The criteria related to operating income and/or cash flow levels for those operating units. For this purpose, "operating income" means revenues less operating expenses (other than depreciation and amortization) and "cash flow" means "operating income" less cash capital expenditures and increases or decreases in working capital and in other long-term assets and liabilities. 9 The level of the Senior Executive STIP annual bonuses for 1994 for each of the named executive officers was based on a determination of the Committee, the starting point of which was the maximum bonus payable pursuant to the Senior Executive STIP for such executive officers (i.e., six times the executives' base salary in effect on March 31, 1994), since the performance criteria established by the Committee for 1994 had been achieved. The Committee considered a number of factors, including the executives' achievements in effectuating the Mergers and successfully integrating the operations of Paramount Communications and Blockbuster into the Company while achieving a significantly higher level of operating income than in the prior year for the Company's pre-Mergers businesses, and awarded the annual bonuses set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table. The Committee took particular note of the significant size of the Mergers and the major strategic importance of the Mergers to the Company. Annual bonus compensation for executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer and the four named executive officers for 1994 was provided under the Company's Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "STIP"). Target levels of annual operating income and cash flow (as defined above) were established for 1994 for the Company as a whole and for its operating units. The operating income and cash flow goals were generally given equal weight. Additional targets were established for specific operating units. The level of achievement of the applicable corporate or divisional goals determined the aggregate amounts available for funding awards for corporate or divisional executives; the amounts were subject to upward or downward adjustment pursuant to a mathematical formula based on the level of achievement and could exceed 100% of targeted amounts. The Committee approved a specific target bonus for each executive officer which was expressed as a percentage of his salary. These targets are included in the executive officers' employment contracts. Since the corporate and divisional targets were met or exceeded for 1994, the executive officers receiving bonuses under the STIP were eligible for at least 100% of their target bonuses. Many executive officers also received a special bonus in recognition of their efforts to complete the Mergers. Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The Committee believes that the use of equity-based long-term incentive plans directly links executive interests to enhancing stockholder value. From 1990 to 1993, the Committee followed the practice of making annual grants of stock options to the Company's executive officers under the Viacom Inc. 1989 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan. Under the 1994 LTMIP, the Committee, in recognition of the extraordinary efforts leading to the completion of the Mergers, awarded stock options for Class B Common Stock to the Company's executive officers (other than its Chief Executive Officer whose 1994 stock option grant is described below under "Chief Executive Officer's Compensation") as of August 1, 1994 representing such executives' grants for 1994 and 1995; these stock options have an extended vesting period of five years. The $34.75 exercise price of the 1994 stock option grants was set at the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock on the date of grant. The stock options have a ten-year term. The size of the grant to each executive was within the range assigned to the executive's relative level of responsibility. In determining the amounts awarded, the Committee considered the amounts awarded in prior years, as adjusted for changes in responsibilities. In 1993, the Committee adopted the Viacom Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (Divisional) (the "Divisional LTIP"). The Divisional LTIP was developed with the assistance of an independent consultant to provide long-term compensation for divisional executives based on the performance of their respective operating units. The first grant of performance shares under the Divisional LTIP was made with respect to the three year period that commenced January 1, 1993. Subsequent grants of performance shares were made under the Divisional LTIP with respect to the three year periods that commenced January 1, 1994 and January 1, 1995. The Committee established the amounts of these grants and the performance criteria for the initial grant. It is expected that the Committee will shortly establish the performance criteria for the subsequent grants. Executive officers with divisional responsibilities such as Mr. Horowitz received grants under the Divisional LTIP for the three year periods that commenced January 1, 1993, January 1, 1994 and January 1, 1995. His 1992, 1993 and 1994 LTMIP grants were reduced to reflect his participation in the Divisional Plan. 10 Chief Executive Officer's Compensation Mr. Biondi's compensation package was renegotiated in 1994 to reflect his increased responsibilities as President, Chief Executive Officer of the Company after the Mergers. It includes his base salary and deferred compensation, the right to earn an annual bonus based upon achievement of corporate objectives established by the Committee under the Senior Executive STIP and a grant of 1994 LTMIP stock options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock as more fully described below. His compensation package is designed to comply with the limits on annual compensation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code. His employment contract is more fully described below under "Employment Contracts". The level of the Senior Executive STIP annual bonus for 1994 for Mr. Biondi was based on a determination of the Committee, the starting point of which was the maximum bonus payable pursuant to the Senior Executive STIP, since the performance criteria established by the Committee for 1994 had been achieved. The Committee considered a number of factors, including Mr. Biondi's achievement in effectuating the Mergers and successfully integrating the operations of Paramount Communications and Blockbuster into the Company while achieving a significantly higher level of operating income than in the prior year for the Company's pre-Mergers businesses, and awarded Mr. Biondi the annual bonus set forth below in the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Biondi's 1994 stock option grant represents a single grant for the entire six-year term of his employment contract. The options are ten-year non- qualified stock options that vest in one-fifth increments starting July 31, 1996 and on each July 31st thereafter so that all the stock options become exercisable by the end of the six-year initial term of his contract. The Company has agreed to amend the terms of Mr. Biondi's 1994 stock option grant as more fully described below under "Employment Contracts". Sumner M. Redstone, Chairman George S. Abrams William C.

Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") with a December 1992 valuation date; and $10,263,600 of which $3,370,053 was withheld as taxes and the remainder paid as 177,897 shares of Class B Common Stock which represented payment for his LTIP phantom shares with future valuation dates. The valuation and payment of Mr. Biondi's LTIP phantom shares with future valuation dates was accelerated by the Compensation Committee to December 1992 to preserve certain individual and corporate tax benefits, with the payment made in stock to further link Mr. Biondi's interests to increases in stockholder value. (6) Represents substantially all amounts payable with respect to the LTIP phantom shares granted to the named executives. Includes payment for the LTIP phantom shares with a December 1992 valuation date, as well as the accelerated payment of the LTIP phantom shares with future valuation dates. The amount payable for their LTIP phantom shares was the $31.23 per share payment limit. The Committee accelerated payment and valuation of these LTIP phantom shares both to preserve certain individual and corporate tax benefits and because the phantom shares had already reached the $31.23 per share payment limit. OPTION GRANTS IN FISCAL 1994 The following Option Grant Table includes a column designated "Grant Date Present Value". The calculation in that column is based on Black-Scholes option pricing model adapted for use in valuing executive stock options. There is no way to anticipate what the actual growth rate of the Class B Common Stock will be.

These options are more fully described above in the "Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation". (2) Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model adapted for use in valuing executive stock options. The actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. There is no assurance that value realized by an executive will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model. The grant date values presented in the table were determined in part using the following assumptions. No adjustments were made for non- transferability or risk of forfeiture.

Under the Company's Pension Plan, and the Company's Excess Pension Plan for certain higher compensated employees, an eligible employee will receive a benefit at retirement that is based upon the employee's number of years of benefit service and average annual salary (salary as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table) for the highest 60 consecutive months out of the final 120 months. The benefits under the Company's Excess Pension Plan are not subject to the Internal Revenue Code provisions that limit the compensation subject to benefits under the Company's Pension Plan. The number of years of benefit service that have been credited for Messrs. Biondi, Dooley, Horowitz and Weinstein are approximately 7.6, 13, 4 and 9, respectively. Mr. Dauman has been credited with two years of service under the Company's Pension Plan; however, the benefits payable under the Company's Excess Pension Plan shall be calculated as though he had eleven years of credited service. The foregoing table illustrates, for representative average annual pensionable compensation and years of benefit service classifications, the annual retirement benefit payable to employees under the Plans upon retirement in 1993 at age 65, based on the straight-life annuity form of benefit payment and not subject to deduction or offset. 15 PERFORMANCE GRAPHS The following two graphs compare the cumulative total stockholder return on the Class A Common Stock, and, as of June 18, 1990, the Class B Common Stock with the cumulative total return on the companies listed in the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and a peer group of companies. The composition of the peer group included in the graph set forth below as Exhibit I has been revised to more closely resemble the Company's various lines of business after the acquisition of Paramount Communications and Blockbuster in 1994. The total return data was obtained from Standard & Poor's Compustat Services, Inc., which first reported trading activity for the Class B Common Stock on June 18, 1990.

Ltd. (ADRs); Time Warner Inc.; and Turner Broadcasting System Inc. ** Price shown in column labelled "1989" for Class B Common Stock is as of June 30, 1990. Effective on June 13, 1990, the Company effected a stock split by issuing a dividend of one share of Class B Common Stock for each share of Class A Common Stock then outstanding. The Class B Common Stock has rights, privileges, restrictions and qualifications identical to the Class A Common Stock except that shares of Class B Common Stock have no voting rights other than those required by law. As of April 3, 1995, NAI owned 45,547,214 shares or 61% of the Class A Common Stock and 46,565,414 shares or 16.3% of the Class B Common Stock. Sumner M. Redstone, the controlling stockholder of NAI, is the Chairman of the Board of the Company. The performance graphs assume $100 invested on December 31, 1989 in each of the Class A Common Stock, the S&P 500 Index and the Peer Group (identified in such graph), including reinvestment of dividends, through the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. The cumulative total stockholder return on the Class B Common Stock assumes the investment in Class B Common Stock as of June 18, 1990 (the first date on which the Class B Common Stock was publicly traded) of an amount equal to the cumulative total stockholder return on the Class A Common Stock as of that date ($95.44). 17 EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS The Company has entered into a new employment contract with Mr. Biondi which provides that he will be employed as President, Chief Executive Officer of the Company until July 31, 2000 (the term of such contract to be automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless either party elects to terminate the contract) at a salary of $990,000 per annum. The new contract provides that Mr. Biondi's target bonus for calendar year 1994 is set at $2,630,250 and, for each succeeding calendar year, at 110% of his target bonus for the preceding calendar year. In addition, Mr. Biondi's contract provides for deferred compensation, payable the year after he ceases to be an executive officer of the Company, in the amount of $179,000 for the period from August 18, 1994 through July 31, 1995 and, for each succeeding contract year (from August 1st through the following July 31st), in an amount equal to the excess of (i) 110% of his salary and deferred compensation for the preceding contract year over (ii) $990,000. Mr. Biondi's contract also provides for the grant of stock options under the 1994 LTMIP to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing Mr. Biondi's stock option grant for the entire six- year initial term of his employment contract. The options vest in one-fifth increments starting July 31, 1996 and on each July 31st thereafter so that all the stock options become exercisable by the end of the initial term of his employment contract. The Company has agreed to amend the terms of Mr. Biondi's 1994 stock option grant, assuming the LTMIP Amendments are approved at the Annual Meeting, to provide that: . In the event of the Company's failure to renew Mr. Biondi's employment contract upon expiration of the initial six-year term or any one-year renewal thereof, his 1994 LTMIP stock options shall remain exercisable for six months after the date of termination. . In the event of the termination of Mr. Biondi's employment without "cause" or voluntary termination for "good reason" during the term of his employment contract, his 1994 LTMIP stock options (all of which will have vested upon termination of employment) shall remain exercisable for the longer of six months following the date of termination or two years from the date of grant. . In the event of the termination of Mr. Biondi's employment due to death or disability, his 1994 LTMIP stock options (all of which will have vested upon termination of employment) shall remain exercisable for two years after such date. .

Mr. Biondi's contract also provides that, in the event of the termination of Mr. Biondi's employment without "cause" or voluntary termination for "good reason" during the term of his employment contract, he shall be entitled to receive his salary, deferred compensation and target bonus (pro-rated for any partial calendar year) for the shorter of three years after such termination or the remainder of the employment term. Mr. Dauman became Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer and Secretary of the Company on March 15, 1994.

In addition, assuming the LTMIP Amendments are approved at the Annual Meeting, his stock options (all of which will have vested upon termination of employment) shall remain exercisable for six months following the date of termination (but not beyond the expiration date of such stock options). Mr. Weinstein's employment contract provides that he will be employed as Senior Vice President, Government Affairs of the Company until December 31, 1997, at a salary of $500,000 for the contract year that began February 1, 1993, with $50,000 annual increases on each February 1st during the employment term.

Mr. Weinstein's contract provides that in the event of the termination of Mr. Weinstein's employment without "cause" or voluntary termination for "good reason", he shall be entitled to receive salary and bonus for the balance of the employment term. In addition, the contract provides that his stock options which are then exercisable shall be exercisable for three months after the date of termination and stock options which are not then exercisable shall, at the Committee's option, either be accelerated and exercisable for three months after such termination or cancelled and treated as stock appreciation rights with the value determined and payable when the options would otherwise have vested. The LTMIP stock options granted in 1994 to Mr. Weinstein will become exercisable in full by December 31, 1997. RELATED TRANSACTIONS NAI, the Company's major stockholder, licenses films, in the ordinary course of its business, for its motion picture theaters from all major studios including Paramount Pictures, a division of the Company. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, NAI made payments to Paramount Pictures in the aggregate amount of $12,610,000 to license Paramount Pictures films. NAI licenses films from a number of unaffiliated companies and the Company believes that the terms of the license fees paid by NAI for Paramount Pictures films were no less favorable to the Company than license fees paid by NAI to unaffiliated companies. The Company expects to continue to license Paramount Pictures films to NAI upon similar terms in the future. Ken Miller, a director of the Company, became Vice Chairman of C.S. First Boston in June 1994. C.S. First Boston has previously performed and is currently performing investment banking services for the Company. 19 George S. Abrams, a director of the Company, entered into an agreement with the Company in 1994 to provide legal and governmental consulting services for the Company upon its request. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the Company made payments to Mr. Abrams for such services in the aggregate amount of $100,000. In 1993, Blockbuster merged with WJB in a pooling of interest business combination. As a result of this transaction, Blockbuster added 209 Blockbuster Video stores and six Discovery Zone FunCenters as Blockbuster-owned operations and, in addition, acquired rights to develop additional Blockbuster Video stores and Discovery Zone FunCenters. Blockbuster also acquired the real estate on which 51 of such Blockbuster Video stores are located. George D. Johnson, Jr., who is a director of the Company, and certain trusts for the benefit of Mr. Johnson's son and daughter were equity holders of WJB. As a result of the combination with WJB, Blockbuster became successor in interest to a property management agreement with Johnson Development Associates, Inc. ("Johnson Development"), a South Carolina corporation, pursuant to which Johnson Development serves as the property manager of such 51 Blockbuster Video store locations. Mr. Johnson is an equity holder of Johnson Development. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement with Johnson Development, BEG is obligated to make monthly payments to Johnson Development in the aggregate amount of approximately $17,000 for its services. The management agreement remains in effect until terminated by either party upon 180 days notice. The Company believes that the terms of the management agreement with Johnson Development are as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. As a result of the combination with WJB, Blockbuster also became a successor in interest to a lease agreement with Bell Hill Associates L.P. ("Bell Hill") for the use of office space located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Mr. Johnson is general partner of Bell Hill, and a limited partnership, of which Mr. Johnson, his wife and trusts for the benefit of his children are equity holders, is its sole limited partner. Under such lease agreement, BEG is obligated to make monthly lease payments in the amount of $38,106. Such lease remains in effect until January 30, 2005. The Company believes that the terms of the lease agreement with Bell Hill are as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. As a result of the combination with WJB, Blockbuster also became a successor in interest to a lease agreement with Reidville Road Associates ("Reidville"). Mr. Johnson is general partner of Reidville. Under such lease agreement, BEG is obligated to make monthly lease payments in the amount of $5,600. Such lease remains in effect until June 16, 1997 and is renewable for an additional term of five years at the option of BEG. The Company believes that the terms of the lease agreement with Reidville are as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. As a result of the combination with WJB, Blockbuster also became a successor in interest to a lease agreement with Lawson's Fork Associates. Mr. Johnson is a general partner of Lawson's and a limited partnership, of which Mr. Johnson, his wife and trusts for the benefit of his children are equity holders, is a limited partner of Lawson's. Under such lease agreement, BEG is obligated to make monthly lease payments in the amount of $7,000. Such lease remains in effect until August 18, 1999 and is renewable for one additional five year term at BEG's option. The Company believes that the terms of the lease agreement with Lawson's are as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. In December 1994, BEG entered into a lease agreement with Beaumont Avenue Associates ("Beaumont") to lease space for a BEG-owned video store. Mr. Johnson and a limited partnership, of which Mr. Johnson, his wife and trusts for the benefit of his children are equity holders, are general partners of Beaumont. Under such agreement, BEG is obligated to make monthly lease payments in the amount of $5,775. Such lease is for an initial term of ten years and is renewable for two additional five year terms at BEG's option. The Company believes that the terms of the lease agreement with Beaumont are as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEG made payments to Huizenga Holdings in the aggregate amount of $816,000 for the business use of certain airplanes owned by Huizenga Holdings. Also during this period, BEG paid all direct costs associated with the operation of such airplanes. Huizenga Holdings reimbursed BEC $964,020 for Huizenga Holdings' share of all direct costs associated with Huizenga Holdings' business use of such airplanes during this period. The Company believes that the terms of its use of the airplanes were more favorable to the Company than it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party and expects to continue to use the airplanes on such terms in the future. In May 1992, Huizenga Holdings entered a lease agreement with an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Blockbuster for the use of office space in One Blockbuster Plaza, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, BEG's principal office building. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEG received $63,595 in payments under such lease. Such lease is for an initial 20 term of five years and is renewable for an additional term of five years at the option of Huizenga Holdings. The Company believes that the terms of its lease agreement with Huizenga Holdings are as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. BEG expects to enter into a lease agreement with Huizenga Holdings for the use of additional office space in One Blockbuster Plaza. BEG will receive approximately $100,000 in payments under said lease for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995. Such lease is for an initial term of three years and is renewable for three one-year extensions at the option of Huizenga Holdings. The Company believes that the terms of the proposed lease agreement with Huizenga Holdings are more favorable to the Company than it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEC made payments to Suncoast Helicopters, Inc. ("Suncoast"), a Florida corporation and a subsidiary of Huizenga Holdings, in the aggregate amount of $54,096 for the business use of certain helicopters owned by Suncoast. The Company believes that the terms of its use of the helicopters were as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party and expects to continue to use the helicopters on such terms in the future. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEC paid BRWC, Inc. ("Blue Ribbon"), a Florida corporation, an aggregate of approximately $20,000 for the purchase of bottled water and the rental of water coolers for BEG's offices in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Blue Ribbon is owned by H. Wayne Huizenga. The Company believes that the terms of its agreement with Blue Ribbon with respect to the purchase of bottled water and rental of water coolers are as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. The Company expects to continue to conduct business with Blue Ribbon upon similar terms in the future. Since June 1990, Mr. Huizenga has owned an equity interest in the Stadium Companies. In June 1994, Mr. Huizenga acquired ownership of 100% of the Stadium Companies. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEG made payments in the aggregate amount of $224,169 to the Stadium Companies for signage and other advertising and for tickets to sporting and other events, for which Blockbuster contracted with the Stadium Companies prior to Mr. Huizenga's investment therein. BEG also made payments during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 in the aggregate amount of $100,000 to the Stadium Companies for scoreboard signage pursuant to a contract entered into by Blockbuster and the Stadium Companies after Mr. Huizenga's investment therein. The Company believes that the terms of the contract for scoreboard signage are as favorable to the Company as terms as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. The Company expects to continue to conduct business with the Stadium Companies in the future. In February 1993, Blockbuster entered into an agreement with the Florida Marlins to sponsor certain events at or in connection with Florida Marlins baseball games in the 1993 through 1995 baseball seasons. BEG contracted to pay the Florida Marlins an aggregate of $366,500 for these sponsorship rights, which amount is subject to reduction due to cancelled baseball games in the 1994 and 1995 baseball seasons. H. Wayne Huizenga, Jr., G. Harry Huizenga, Bonnie J. Hudson and Harris W. Hudson, who are Mr. Huizenga's son, father, sister and brother-in-law, respectively, are all limited partners in the Florida Marlins. Mr. Berrard also is a limited partner in the Florida Marlins. Mr. Huizenga is the majority owner thereof and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Florida Marlins, Inc., its managing general partner. The Company believes that the terms of the sponsorship agreement are as favorable to the Company as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party. The Company expects to continue to conduct business with the Florida Marlins in the future. Discovery Zone has entered into an agreement with the Florida Marlins to sponsor certain events at or in connection with a Florida Marlins baseball game in each of the 1995 and 1996 baseball seasons. Discovery Zone will pay the Florida Marlins an aggregate of approximately $100,000 for these sponsorship rights. The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase Combined Broadcasting of Miami, Inc. ("CBM"), a Delaware corporation and the licensee of television station WBFS-TV in Miami, Florida. Prior to the Company's entering into the CBM purchase agreement, CBM entered into an agreement with the Florida Marlins under which CBM obtained the live over-the-air broadcast rights to certain of the Florida Marlins baseball games for the 1995 and 1996 baseball seasons. Under such agreement, CBM agreed to make payments for such rights of up to $4,431,000 and $4,696,860 for the 1995 and 1996 seasons, respectively. In addition, CBM agreed to make bonus payments to the Florida Marlins in certain situations. Also, pursuant to such agreement, the Florida Marlins agreed that, prior to negotiating with any other person for such broadcast rights for the period subsequent to the term of the agreement, it will first negotiate with CBM for a new grant of such rights. 21 The Florida Panthers have entered into an agreement with the Sunshine Network ("Sunshine"), a Florida joint venture, under which Sunshine obtained certain exclusive subscription telecast and over-the-air broadcast rights in certain of the Florida Panthers' games. Sunshine has entered into an agreement with CBM under which Sunshine has purchased from CBM the time for over-the-air broadcasts of certain Florida Panthers' games to which Sunshine has the broadcast rights. In August 1993, Blockbuster entered into a contract with the Florida Panthers whereby BEG contracted to pay an aggregate of $487,790 for advertising and sponsorship activities during the 1993-94 and 1994-95 hockey seasons, which amount is subject to reduction due to cancelled hockey games in the 1994-95 hockey season. In June 1993, Blockbuster and Mr. Huizenga formed a joint venture, Panthers Investment Venture (the "Venture"), pursuant to which Blockbuster received an option, which expired in 1994, to acquire a 50% limited partnership interest in the Florida Panthers in exchange for BEG's guarantee of a $20,000,000 bank loan to the Venture. Mr. Huizenga also has guaranteed such bank loan and has agreed to reimburse BEG for certain losses, if any, which may be incurred under BEG's guarantee. The Florida Panthers owns and operates the National Hockey League franchise in South Florida, and Mr. Huizenga is its sole limited partner and the sole stockholder of its corporate general partner. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEG received from Donovan Entertainment, Inc. ("Donovan"), a franchise owner of BEG, an aggregate of approximately $288,719 for the purchase of inventory and equipment and in payment of franchise royalty fees. In September 1994, BEG acquired certain assets of Donovan, in exchange for the payment of $350,000 to Donovan. The assets acquired from Donovan consisted of one of the three Blockbuster Video stores which Donovan owned as a franchisee of BEG. H. Wayne Huizenga, Jr., a son of Mr. Huizenga, was a creditor of Donovan until September 1994 and thereafter has been a stockholder of Donovan. The Company believes that the terms of the acquisition of assets from Donovan were substantially similar to the terms of other acquisitions of similarly situated businesses of franchise owners. The Company also believes that the terms of the franchise and development agreements with Donovan were as favorable to BEG as those with BEG's other franchise owners and that the terms of such agreements were substantially similar to the terms of BEG's other franchise and development agreements. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEC received from Dorn Video, Inc. ("Dorn"), a Florida corporation and a franchise owner of BEC, an aggregate of approximately $148,426 for the purchase of inventory and equipment and in payment of franchise royalty fees. H. Wayne Huizenga, Jr., a son of Mr. Huizenga, is a creditor of Dorn. The Company believes that the terms of development and franchise agreements with Dorn are as favorable to BEG as those with BEG's other franchise owners and that the terms of such agreements are substantially similar to the terms of BEG's other franchise and development agreements. In September 1994, Blockbuster acquired substantially all of the assets of Brevard Entertainment Corp. ("Brevard"), a franchisee of Blockbuster, in exchange for 197,423 shares of common stock of Blockbuster, which were valued at $25.575 per share. The assets acquired from Brevard consisted of all six of the Blockbuster Video stores which Brevard owned as a franchisee of Blockbuster. Bonnie J. Hudson and Harris W. Hudson, respectively the sister and brother-in-law of Mr. Huizenga, are, as joint tenants, majority stockholders in Brevard, and they received 168,529 of the shares of common stock of Blockbuster issued in the transaction. For the period from January 1, 1994 until the acquisition date, Blockbuster received an aggregate of approximately $680,014 from Brevard for the purchase of inventory and equipment and in payment of franchise royalty fees. The Company believes that the terms of the acquisition of assets from Brevard were substantially similar to the terms of other acquisitions of similarly situated businesses of franchise owners. The Company also believes that the terms of the franchise and development agreements with Brevard were as favorable to BEG as those with BEG's other franchise owners and that the terms of such agreements were substantially similar to the terms of BEG's other franchise and development agreements. In September 1994, Blockbuster entered into franchise and development agreements with Mountain High Video, Inc. ("Mountain High"), related to a single video store. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEG received from Mountain High an aggregate of approximately $47,760 for the purchase of inventory and equipment and in payment of franchise royalty and development fees.

E. Charles Pike, a brother-in-law of Mr. Huizenga, is a principal stockholder of Royal Palm and Polo. The Company believes that the terms of the franchise and development agreements with Royal Palm and Polo are as favorable to BEG as those with BEG's other franchise owners, and that the terms of such agreements are substantially similar to the terms of BEG's other franchise and development agreements. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, BEG paid approximately $1,963,116 to Psychemedics for testing services in connection with BEG's drug screening policy. Mr. Huizenga owns 11.5% of the common stock of Psychemedics and each of Mr. Huizenga's spouse, father and children own less than 1% of such common stock. The Company believes that the terms of the agreement with Psychemedics are as or more favorable to the Company than it could have obtained from an unaffiliated party using testing procedures substantially similar to those used by Psychemedics. The Company expects to continue to conduct business with Psychemedics in the future. On March 8, 1995, Spelling entered into an agreement with 2301 S.E. 17th St., Ltd. (the "Partnership"), the owner of the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty Six hotel (the "Hotel") in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in connection with the filming of a television pilot and series, if produced, entitled "Pier 66" on location in and around the Hotel (the "Premises"). Messrs. Berrard and Huizenga own an 8.33% and a 16.66% interest, respectively, in 2301 Joint Venture ("2301 JV"), a Florida general partnership. 2301 JV holds a 79.5% limited partnership interest in the Partnership. In consideration of the favorable publicity the Hotel will receive for being depicted in the pilot and series, Spelling will not be charged fees for the use of the Premises and the Hotel agrees to provide rooms during preproduction and production of the pilot and series, if produced. The estimated value of (i) the location filming rights and rooms being provided on the Pilot is $103,000 and (ii) the rooms being provided on the potential series is $297,000. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and the American Stock Exchange. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon the Company's compliance program, as well as a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that during 1994, its executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that Steven R. Bernard, a director of the Company, filed an amended report on Form 3 on April 28, 1995, which report reflected a correction to the number of shares of equity securities of the Company beneficially owned by Mr. Bernard at the time he became a director of the Company in November 1994 and H. Wayne Huizenga, a director of the Company, filed a report on Form 4 on April 28, 1995, which reported the gift of 500 shares of Class A Common Stock in December 1994. CERTAIN LITIGATION Four putative class actions were filed by alleged Spelling stockholders in November 1994. By Order dated February 15, 1995, the four actions were consolidated under the caption In re Spelling Shareholder Litigation, Master File 94-8764 (AH), Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, Florida. Defendants in all actions include Spelling, the Company and the members of the Board of Directors of Spelling. All complaints alleged that the Company intends to acquire the 23% interest in Spelling it does not currently hold for inadequate consideration and in breach of the defendants' fiduciary duties. Two of the actions also alleged that the acquisitions of the Company's 77% interest in Spelling was done improperly so as to avoid payment of a control premium to the stockholders. Plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief preventing the alleged acquisition plan and damages. The Company believes that plaintiffs' allegations are speculative and without merit and intends to defend the claims vigorously. The plaintiffs have been directed to serve a single consolidated class action complaint to supersede all existing complaints and to move for class certification on or before May 18, 1995. 23 APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE VIACOM INC. 1989 AND 1994 LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLANS The Viacom Inc. 1989 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan (the "1989 LTMIP") was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company as of August 1, 1989 and, as amended by the Board to reflect the 1990 stock split effected as a dividend described above in "Performance Graphs", was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the 1990 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Viacom Inc. 1994 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan (the "1994 LTMIP" and, together with the 1989 LTMIP, the "LTMIP") was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 26, 1994 and approved by the stockholders of the Company at the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors of the Company adopted amendments to the LTMIP on April 27, 1995, subject to the approval of such amendments by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to a vote at the Annual Meeting. These amendments (the "LTMIP Amendments"), which are more fully described below, permit the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") to have the discretion to extend for up to specified limited periods of time the periods during which participants in the LTMIP whose employment with the Company terminates can exercise LTMIP stock options that are exercisable at the time of their termination. The Board recommends that the stockholders approve the LTMIP Amendments. The Company has been advised that NAI intends to vote all of its shares of Class A Common Stock for the approval of the LTMIP Amendments. Such vote will be sufficient to approve the LTMIP Amendments without any action on the part of any other stockholder of the Company. LTMIP GENERALLY The following description of the material features of the LTMIP and the LTMIP Amendments is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 1994 LTMIP and 1989 LTMIP, as amended by the LTMIP Amendments, as set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 to this Proxy Statement. The 1989 LTMIP provided for grants of stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock ("Stock Options"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted shares ("Restricted Shares") of Common Stock and phantom shares ("Phantom Shares"). Annual grants of Stock Options were made under the 1989 LTMIP during the period from 1990 through 1993. The 1989 grant under this Plan consisted of Stock Options and Phantom Shares. The terms and conditions of such grants are described in more detail below. The 1989 LTMIP terminated on August 1, 1994 and no additional grants were made after that date. The 1994 LTMIP provides for grants of Stock Options to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock, SARS, Restricted Shares of Class B Common Stock and Phantom Shares, the terms and conditions of which are described in more detail below. Approximately 800 key employees of the Company are eligible for grants under the 1994 LTMIP. The terms of the 1994 LTMIP Stock Option grants to Mr. Biondi and the other four named executive officers are described above in the "Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation" and the Summary Compensation and Option Grant Tables. All executive officers of the Company as a group received grants of 1,726,200 Stock Options under this Plan in 1994, representing such executives' grants for 1994 and 1995. Approximately 150 key employees of the Company received grants of 3,963,362 Stock Options under this Plan in 1994. Compensation relating to awards under the 1994 LTMIP is generally intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" which is excluded from the $1,000,000 limit on deductible compensation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock that may be granted under the 1994 LTMIP (whether reserved for issuance upon grants of Stock Options or SARs or granted as Restricted Shares) is 10,000,000. Shares of Class B Common Stock covered by expired or terminated Stock Options or SARs and Restricted Shares that are forfeited under the terms of the 1994 LTMIP will not be counted in applying such limit on grants under the 1994 LTMIP. The maximum aggregate number of (i) shares of Class B Common Stock that may be granted subject to the Stock Options or SARs or granted as Restricted Shares and (ii) Phantom Shares to any employee at the level of Senior Vice President of the Company or above during any calendar year is 1,000,000. The fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock was $46.375 as of April 17, 1995. Grants under the 1994 LTMIP are authorized by the Committee in its sole discretion. For this reason it is not possible to determine the benefits or amounts that will be received by any particular employees or group of employees in the future. 24 ADMINISTRATION The LTMIP is administered by the Committee, which selects from among the group of eligible employees, those individuals (the "Participants") who receive grants under the LTMIP. The Compensation Committee must be comprised of at least three directors, each of whom must be a disinterested person within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. STOCK OPTIONS Stock Options can be either incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") or options that do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options for federal income tax purposes ("Non-Qualified Stock Options"), as determined by the Committee. All Stock Options granted under the LTMIP have been Non-Qualified Stock Options. For a description of the federal tax consequences associated with the grant and exercise of Non-Qualified Stock Options, see the discussion below under "Approval of the Viacom Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors -- Tax Consequences". Subject to certain limits described below, the Committee determines the exercise price of Stock Options, the vesting schedule applicable to such Stock Options and the period during which they can be exercised. The per share exercise price of Stock Options cannot be, with respect to Nonqualified Stock Options, less than 50% and, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant of a share of Common Stock for 1989 LTMIP Stock Options and the Class B Common Stock for 1994 LTMIP Stock Options. No Stock Option can be exercised less than six months after the date of grant or more than ten years after the date of grant. Each share of Common Stock purchased through the exercise of a Stock Option must be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock (or other Company securities designated by the Committee) or in a combination of cash and shares (or such other securities). PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The LTMIP currently provide as follows: . If the employment of a Participant terminates for any reason other than death or for "cause", his Stock Options can be exercised for three months after the date of such termination but not beyond the expiration date of such Stock Options. . In the event of a Participant's permanent disability, he may exercise his Stock Options to the extent exercisable at the onset of such disability for one year after such date but not beyond the expiration date of such Stock Options. . In the event of a Participant's death, his 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 by the laws of descent and distribution for one year after such death (or such longer period as may in a special case be fixed by the Committee) but not beyond the expiration date of such Stock Options. . If a Participant's employment is terminated for "cause", then, unless the Committee determines otherwise, all Stock Options (whether or not then vested) will be forfeited by the Participant effective as of the date of such termination. The LTMIP Amendments would provide as follows: . The Committee would have the discretion to permit a Participant whose employment terminates for any reason other than death or for "cause" to exercise his Stock Options to the extent exercisable as of the date of termination for a period determined by the Committee but not in excess of the longer of six months following the date of termination or two years from the date of grant and not beyond the expiration date of such Stock Options. . The Committee would have the discretion to permit a Participant who becomes permanently disabled to exercise his Stock Options to the extent exercisable at the onset of such disability for two years after the onset of permanent disability but not beyond the expiration date of such Stock Options. The provisions relating to the exercise of Stock Options in the event of the Participant's death or termination for "cause" would not change. 25 For a description of the amendments that the Company has agreed to make to Mr. Biondi's 1994 LTMIP Stock Option grant, assuming the LTMIP Amendments are approved at the Annual Meeting, see the discussion above under "Employment Contracts." Also discussed above under "Employment Contracts" are the periods that Messrs. Dauman, Dooley and Horowitz will be permitted to exercise their LTMIP Stock Options in the event of a termination of employment without "cause" or voluntary termination for "good reason", assuming the LTMIP Amendments are approved at the Annual Meeting. It is not possible to quantify the effect of the LTMIP Amendments on the outstanding LTMIP Stock Options. SARS The Committee may grant SARs under the 1994 LTMIP only in tandem with Stock Options, either at the time of grant or by amendment at any time prior to the exercise, expiration or termination of such Stock Options. Each SAR entitles the holder to surrender the related Stock Option in lieu of exercise for an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the share of Class B Common Stock subject to the Stock Option over the exercise price of such Stock Option. This amount will be paid in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Class B Common Stock (or other Company securities designed by the Committee) or in a combination of cash and shares (or such other securities). No SAR can be exercised unless the related Stock Option is then exercisable. RESTRICTED SHARES Any Restricted Shares granted under the 1994 LTMIP will be subject to a vesting schedule established by the Committee; provided, that no Restricted Shares shall vest until at least six months after the date of grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the dates on which Restricted Shares vest. Stock certificates representing the number of Restricted Shares granted to a Participant will be registered in the registrant's name as of the date of grant but remain held by the Company. The Participant will have all rights as a holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock except that (i) the Participant will not be entitled to delivery of such certificates until the shares represented thereby have vested, (ii) the Restricted Shares cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until such shares have vested, and (iii) if the Participant's employment terminates for any reason or, in the event of the Participant's death, retirement or permanent disability, the Restricted Shares will be forfeited as of the date of such event (unless, in a special case, the Committee determines otherwise with respect to some or all of the unvested Restricted Shares). PHANTOM SHARES The value of any Phantom Shares granted under the 1994 LTMIP will be determined by reference to the fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock and cash payments are made with respect to such Phantom Shares based, subject to any applicable limit on the maximum amount payable, on any increase in value ("appreciation value") determined as of certain valuation dates over their "initial value". The 1994 LTMIP empowers the Committee to determine the initial value of the Phantom Shares as of the date of grant; provided, that the initial value of a Phantom Share shall not be less than 50% of the average fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock over the 30-day period ending on the date of grant. The 1994 LTMIP further empowers the Committee to determine the valuation dates (not later than the eighth anniversary of the date of grant) applicable to a grant of Phantom Shares, the period (not in excess of five years from the date of grant) during which the Phantom Shares vest and any limit on the maximum amount of appreciation value payable for the Phantom Shares. The value of the Phantom Shares granted under the 1989 LTMIP is determined by reference to the fair market value of a share of Class A Common Stock and a share of Class B Common Stock and cash payments will be made with respect to such Phantom Shares based, subject to a $32 limit on the maximum amount payable, on the increase in value determined as of the valuation dates over their initial value of $58. If a Participant's employment terminates for any reason other than for "cause" or, in the event of the Participant's death, retirement or permanent disability, then, unless the Committee determines otherwise, the cash payments for such Participant's Phantom Shares will be the lesser of the appreciation value determined as of the date of such termination or event or as of the originally scheduled valuation dates and such payments will be made after the originally scheduled valuation dates. All rights with respect to Phantom Shares that are not vested as of the date of such termination or 26 event, as the case may be, will be relinquished by the Participant. If a Participant's employment is terminated for "cause", all Phantom Shares (whether or not vested) will be forfeited by the Participant. ADJUSTMENTS In the event of certain "Reorganization Events" (as defined in the LTMIP) affecting the Company, the Committee will take one of the following actions (determined in its sole discretion), unless a given Participant agrees otherwise. With respect to the Stock Options, SARs and Restricted Shares, the Committee will (1) cause the surviving entity or new owner of the Company to adopt the LTMIP and outstanding agreements (subject to equitable adjustment as specified in the LTMIP), (2) cause the surviving entity or new owner to grant substitute stock options, stock appreciation rights or restricted shares with an equivalent value, (3) solely with respect to outstanding Stock Options, provide for payment upon their termination or cancellation in cash or securities equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock subject to such Stock Options over the aggregate exercise price of such Stock Options, or (4) accelerate the vesting dates of outstanding Stock Options, SARs and Restricted Shares. With respect to Phantom Shares granted pursuant to the LTMIP, the Committee will (1) cause the surviving entity or new owner of the Company to adopt the LTMIP and outstanding agreements (subject to certain equitable adjustments specified in the LTMIP), or (2) determine the appreciation value of Phantom Shares with reference to the consideration to be paid for the applicable class of Common Stock in the Reorganization Event and modify the LTMIP and outstanding agreements, if appropriate, to provide that payments will be based on the appreciation value of the Phantom Shares as so determined. If, however, the Committee determines that the previous actions would be a material impediment to the Reorganization Event, the Committee is authorized to take such other action as it deems equitable and appropriate to provide each Participant with a benefit equivalent to that which he would have received had the Reorganization Event not occurred. In the event a division or subsidiary of the Company is acquired by another entity or the Company is dissolved, liquidated or reorganized other than in a Reorganization Event, or the Board of Directors of the Company proposes any of such transactions or events, the Committee is also authorized to make such adjustments, if any, as it determines are equitable or appropriate to provide each Participant with a benefit equivalent to that to which he would have been entitled had such transaction or event not occurred. In the event of a stock dividend or split or certain other changes in the capital structure of the Company which affect the Common Stock, the Committee will, in its discretion, make any of the following adjustments to provide each Participant with a benefit equivalent to the benefit to which he would have been entitled had such event not occurred: (i) adjust the number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock subject to Stock Options or SARs or the number of Restricted Shares or Phantom Shares granted to each Participant, (ii) adjust the exercise price of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock subject to such Stock Options or SARs or the initial value of such Phantom Shares, and (iii) make any other adjustments, or take such other action, as the Committee deems appropriate. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, ETC. The rights of a Participant with respect to the Stock Options, SARs, Restricted Shares or Phantom Shares granted under the LTMIP are not transferable by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as described above, no grant under the LTMIP entitles a Participant to any rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, nor will any grant be construed as giving any employee a right to continued employment with the Company. LTMIP AMENDMENT AND TERM The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the LTMIP in whole or in part, except that any amendment which must be approved by the stockholders of the Company in order to maintain the continued qualification of the LTMIP under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act will not be effective unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained in compliance with such rule. As described above, the 1989 LTMIP terminated on August 1, 1994, and no further grants have been made under the 1989 LTMIP since that date. Unless terminated earlier by action of the Board of Directors of the Company, the 1994 LTMIP will terminate on May 26, 1999, and no additional grants under the 1994 LTMIP will be made after that date. 27 APPROVAL OF THE 1994 VIACOM INC. STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS The Board of Directors adopted (with Outside Directors Messrs. Abrams, Ferguson, Miller, Salerno and Schwartz abstaining) the Viacom Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "1994 Outside Directors' Plan") on November 8, 1994, subject to the approval of the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Board recommends the stockholders approve the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan. The Company has been advised that NAI intends to vote all of its shares of Class A Common Stock for the approval of the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan. Such vote will be sufficient to approve the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan without any action on the part of any other stockholder of the Company. 1994 OUTSIDE DIRECTORS' PLAN GENERALLY The following description of the material features of the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan, as set forth in Exhibit B to this Proxy Statement. The 1994 Outside Directors' Plan provides for the following grants of stock options (collectively, the "1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options"): (i) automatic one-time grants on November 8, 1994 of stock options to purchase 1,500 shares of Class B Common Stock to each person who was an Outside Director on November 8, 1994; (ii) automatic one-time grants on November 8, 1994 of stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to each person who was an Outside Director both on November 8, 1994 and in July 1987; and (iii) automatic grants of stock options to purchase 1,500 shares of Class B Common Stock to each person who is an Outside Director on August 1, 1995 and on each of the second through ninth anniversaries thereof. The total number of shares of Class B Common Stock reserved for issuance upon grant of 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options is 200,000, subject to adjustments, as more fully described below. Shares of Class B Common Stock covered by expired or terminated Stock Options will not be counted in applying such limit on grants of 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options. ADMINISTRATION The 1994 Outside Directors' Plan is administered by the members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are not Outside Directors. 1994 OUTSIDE DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTIONS On November 8, 1994, Messrs. Abrams, Miller and Schwartz each received 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options to purchase 11,500 shares of Class B Common Stock and Messrs. Ferguson and Salerno each received 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options to purchase 1,500 shares of Class B Common Stock, each with a per share exercise price of $37 7/8 which was the closing price of a share of Class B Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange on the date of grant. The fair market value of a share of Class B Common Stock was $46.375 as of April 17, 1995. The 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Option grants to Messrs. Abrams, Ferguson, Miller, Salerno and Schwartz are subject to stockholder approval of the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan at the Annual Meeting. The 1994 Outside Directors' Plan provides that each person who is an Outside Director on August 1, 1995 and each of the second through ninth anniversaries thereof will receive automatic grants of 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options to purchase 1,500 shares of Class B Common Stock, effective as of the date of such grant, with a per share exercise price equal to the closing price on that date of a share of Class B Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange or such other national securities exchange as may be designated by the Board. Each grant of 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options vests on the first anniversary of the date of grant. No 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Option may be exercised less than six months after the date of grant or more than ten years after the date of grant. Each share of Class B Common Stock purchased through the exercise of a 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Option must be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash. 28 An Outside Director may exercise his 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options up to one year after the Outside Director ceases to serve for any reason, including death or permanent disability, as a member of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options are exercisable only to the extent exercisable on the date of termination and in no event after the 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options have otherwise expired. ADJUSTMENTS In the event of certain "Reorganization Events" (which are defined substantially identically in the LTMIP and the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan) affecting the Company, all of the 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options shall be immediately exercisable as of the date of such event. In the event of a stock dividend or split or certain other changes in the capital structure of the Company which affect the Class B Common Stock, the 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options will be adjusted in the same manner as the stock options granted under the 1994 LTMIP are adjusted. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, ETC. Except to the extent permitted by the rules under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the rights of an Outside Director with respect to the 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options are not transferable by the Outside Director other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No grant of 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options entitles an Outside Director to any rights of a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock, except upon delivery of share certificates upon exercise of a 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Option, nor will any such grant be construed as giving an Outside Director the right to remain a member of the Board of Directors. AMENDMENT AND TERM The Board of Directors may at any time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan in whole or in part. The provisions with respect to eligibility or the time or amount of grants, however, will not be amended more than once every six months other than to comply with applicable law. Any amendment which must be approved by the stockholders of the Company under the requirements of applicable law or in order to maintain the continued qualification of the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan under Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii) under the Exchange Act will not be effective unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained in compliance with such rule. Unless terminated earlier by action of the Board of Directors, the 1994 Outside Directors' Plan will terminate on November 8, 2004, and no additional grants of 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options may be made after that date. TAX CONSEQUENCES The 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options are "non-qualified stock options" that do not qualify as incentive stock options for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the grant of 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Options generally will not result in the recognition of taxable income by the Outside Director or in a tax deduction to the Company or its subsidiaries. Upon exercise of a 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Option, an Outside Director will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased over the exercise price of such Stock Option. The amount of the income so recognized is subject to income tax withholding and a tax deduction equal to the amount of such income is allowable to the Company. Gain or loss upon a subsequent sale of the stock received upon exercise of a 1994 Outside Directors' Stock Option generally would be taxed as capital gain or loss (long- term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the stock sold). APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders approve the appointment of Price Waterhouse LLP as independent accountants to serve until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1996. In connection with the audit function for 1994, Price Waterhouse LLP also reviewed the Company's annual report on Form 10-K and its filings with the Commission, including the filings in connection with the Mergers and provided certain other accounting, tax and consulting services. 29 Representatives of Price Waterhouse LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire. They will also be available to respond to questions at the Annual Meeting. OTHER MATTERS As of the date of this Proxy Statement, Management does not intend to present and has not been informed that any other person intends to present any matter for action not specified in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the holders of the Proxies will act in respect thereof in accordance with their best judgment. In order for proposals by stockholders to be considered for inclusion in the Proxy and Proxy Statement relating to the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, such proposals must be received at the principal executive offices of the Company on or before December 30, 1995.

SECTION 1.3 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee which shall adopt such rules as it may deem appropriate in order to carry out the purpose of the Plan. All questions of interpretation, administration and application of the Plan shall be determined by a majority of the members of the Committee then in office, except that the Committee may authorize any one or more of its members, or any officer of the Company, to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee. The determination of such majority shall be final and binding to all matters relating to the Plan. The Committee shall have authority to select Participants from among the class of eligible persons specified in Section 1.4 below and to determine the number of Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares or Phantom Shares (or combination thereof) to be granted to each Participant. SECTION 1.4 ELIGIBLE PERSONS. Grants may be awarded only to key employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries.

SECTION 1.5 CLASS B COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. The total aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock that may be distributed under the Plan (whether reserved for issuance upon grant of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or granted as Restricted Shares) shall be 10,000,000, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof. The shares of Class B Common Stock shall be made available from authorized but unissued Class B Common Stock or from Class B Common Stock issued and held in the treasury of the Company. The delivery of shares of Class B Common Stock upon exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right in any manner and the vesting of Restricted Shares shall result in a decrease in the number of shares which thereafter may be issued for purposes of this Section 1.5, by the number of shares as to which the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised or by the number of Restricted Shares which vest. Shares of Class B Common A1-3 Stock with respect to which Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights expire, are cancelled without being exercised or are otherwise terminated may be regranted under the Plan. Restricted Shares that are forfeited for any reason shall not be deemed granted for purposes of this Section 1.5 and may thereafter be regranted under the Plan.

The maximum aggregate number of (i) shares of Class B Common Stock that may be distributed under the Plan (whether reserved for issuance upon grant of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or granted as Restricted Shares) and (ii) Phantom Shares that may be granted under the Plan during any calendar year to any Participant at the level of Senior Vice President of the Company or above is 1,000,000. SECTION 1.7 AGREEMENTS. Each Agreement (i) shall state the Date of Grant and the name of the Participant, (ii) shall specify the terms of the Grant, (iii) shall be signed by the Participant and a person designated by the Committee, (iv) shall incorporate the Plan by reference and (v) shall be delivered to the Participant. The Agreement shall contain such other terms and conditions as are required by the Plan and, in addition, such other terms not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee may deem advisable. ARTICLE II PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO STOCK OPTIONS SECTION 2.1 GRANTS OF STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee may from time to time grant to eligible employees Stock Options on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and on such other terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of the Plan, as the Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time determine. Each Agreement covering a Grant of Stock Options shall specify the number of Stock Options granted, the exercise price of such Stock Options, whether such Stock Options are Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options and the period during which such Stock Options may be exercised. SECTION 2.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The Committee shall establish the per share exercise price at the time any Stock Option is granted at such amount as the Committee shall determine, except that such exercise price shall not be less than 50% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Class B Common Stock subject to the Option on the Date of Grant and that, with respect to an Incentive Stock Option, such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Class B Common Stock on the Date of Grant. The exercise price will be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.2 of the Plan. SECTION 2.3 EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS. (a) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable only to the extent the Participant is vested therein. A Participant shall vest in Stock Options over such time and in such increments as the Committee shall determine and specify in a vesting schedule set forth in the applicable Agreement. The Committee may, however, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which a Participant vests in his Stock Options. (b) Option Period. For each Stock Option granted, the Committee shall specify the period during which the Stock Option may be exercised; provided, however, that anything in the Plan or in the applicable Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) Earliest Exercise Date. No Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable until six months after the Date of Grant thereof. (ii) Latest Exercise Date. No Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant thereof. A1-4 (iii) Registration Restrictions. A Stock Option shall not be exercisable, no transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be made to any Participant, and any attempt to exercise a Stock Option or to transfer any such shares shall be void and of no effect, unless and until (A) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, has been duly filed and declared effective pertaining to the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Stock Option, and the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Stock Option have been duly qualified under applicable Federal or state securities or blue sky laws or (B) the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines, or the Participant, upon the request of the Committee, provides an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Committee, that such registration or qualification is not required as a result of the availability of an exemption from registration or qualification under such laws. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Stock Option under any Federal or state law or on any securities exchange or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, delivery or purchase of such shares pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option, such Stock Option shall not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. (c) Exercise in the Event of Termination of Employment, Retirement, Death or Permanent Disability. (i) Termination other than for Cause, Retirement, Death or Permanent Disability. In the event that (A) the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of the voluntary termination by the Participant, the termination by the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than for Cause or the Participant's Retirement, his Outstanding Stock Options may be exercised to the extent then exercisable until the earlier of three months after the date of such termination or Retirement (or such longer period, not in excess of the longer of six months after the date of such termination or Retirement or the second anniversary of the Date of Grant of such Stock Options, as may be determined by the Committee, in its discretion) or the expiration of such Stock Options, (B) a Participant dies during a period during which his Stock Options could have been exercised by him, his 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 until the earlier of one year after such death (or such longer period as may be determined by the Committee, in its discretion, prior to the expiration of such one-year period) or the expiration of such Stock Options, and (C) the Permanent Disability of the Participant occurs, the Participant may exercise his Outstanding Stock Options to the extent exercisable upon date of the onset of such Permanent Disability until the earlier of one year after such date (or such longer period not in excess of two years after such date as may be determined by the Committee, in its discretion) or the expiration of such Stock Options. Upon the occurrence of an event described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 2.3(c)(i), all rights with respect to Stock Options that are not vested as of such event will be relinquished. (ii) Termination for Cause. If a Participant's employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries ends because of a Termination 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) Maximum Exercise Period. Anything in this Section 2.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Stock Option shall be exercisable after the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of the option period set forth in the applicable Agreement or (B) the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant thereof. SECTION 2.4 PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE UPON EXERCISE. Every share purchased through the exercise of a Stock Option shall be paid for in full at the time of exercise in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Class B Common Stock or other securities of the Company designed by the Committee or in a combination of cash, shares or such other securities. SECTION 2.5 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights only in tandem with a Stock Option, either at the time of Grant or by amendment at any time prior to the exercise, expiration or termination of such Stock Option. Each Stock A1-5 Appreciation Right shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Stock Option and shall be exercisable only at such times and to such extent as the related Stock Option is exercisable. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the holder to surrender to the Company the related Stock Option unexercised and receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Stock Option, determined as of the day preceding the surrender of such Stock Option, over the Stock Option aggregate exercise price. Such amount shall be paid in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Class B Common Stock or other securities of the Company designated by the Committee or in a combination of cash, shares or such other securities. ARTICLE III PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO RESTRICTED SHARES SECTION 3.1 GRANTS OF RESTRICTED SHARES. The Committee may from time to time grant to eligible employees Restricted Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and on such other terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of the Plan, as the Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time determine. Each Agreement covering a Grant of Restricted Shares shall specify the number of Restricted Shares granted and the vesting schedule (as provided for in Section 3.2 hereof) for such Restricted Shares. SECTION 3.2 VESTING. The Committee shall establish the vesting schedule applicable to Restricted Shares granted hereunder, which vesting schedule shall specify the period of time and the increments in which a Participant shall vest in the Grant of Restricted Shares; provided, however, that no such Restricted Share shall vest until six months after the Date of Grant thereof. SECTION 3.3 RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS GOVERNING RESTRICTED SHARES. As of the Date of Grant of Restricted Shares, one or more certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of Class B Common Stock granted to a Participant shall be registered in his name but shall be held by the Company for the account of the Participant. The Participant shall have all rights of a holder as to such shares of Class B Common Stock (including, to the extent applicable, the right to receive dividends and to vote), subject to the following restrictions: (a) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of certificates representing such shares of Class B Common Stock until such shares have vested; (b) none of the Restricted Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until such shares have vested; and (c) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6 below, all unvested Restricted Shares shall be immediately forfeited upon a Participant's termination of employment with the Company for any reason or the Participant's death, Retirement or Permanent Disability. SECTION 3.4 ADJUSTMENT WITH RESPECT TO RESTRICTED SHARES. Any other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may, in its discretion, at any time accelerate the date or dates on which Restricted Shares vest. SECTION 3.5 DELIVERY OF RESTRICTED SHARES. On the date on which Restricted Shares vest, all restrictions contained in the Agreement covering such Restricted Shares and in the Plan shall lapse as to such Restricted Shares and one or more stock certificates for the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock, free of the restrictions set forth in the Plan and applicable Agreement, shall be delivered to the Participant or such shares shall be credited to a brokerage account if the Participant so directs; provided, however, that such certificates shall bear such legends as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to be necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable Federal or state securities laws. SECTION 3.6 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, RETIREMENT, DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY. In the event that (i) the Participant's employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries ends by reason of voluntary termination by the Participant, termination by the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than for Cause, A1-6 termination by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for Cause or the Participant's retirement, or (ii) the Participant's death or Permanent Disability, prior to the date or dates on which Restricted Shares vest, the Participant shall forfeit all unvested Restricted Shares as of the date of such event, unless, other than in the case of a termination by the Company or its subsidiaries for Cause, the Committee determines that the circumstances in the particular case so warrant and provides that some or all of such Participant's unvested Restricted Shares shall vest as of the date of such event, in which case certificates representing such shares shall be delivered, in accordance with Section 3.5 above, to the Participant or in the case of the Participant's death, to the person or persons who acquired the right to receive such certificates by will or the laws of descent and distribution. ARTICLE IV PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO PHANTOM SHARES SECTION 4.1 GRANTS OF PHANTOM SHARES. The Committee may from time to time grant to eligible employees Phantom Shares, the value of which is determined by reference to a share of Class B Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and on such other terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of the Plan as the Committee, in its discretion, may from time to time determine. Each Agreement covering a Grant of Phantom Shares shall specify the number of Phantom Shares granted, the Initial Value of such Phantom Shares, the Valuation Dates, the number of Phantom Shares whose Appreciation Value shall be determined on each such Valuation Date, any applicable vesting schedule (as provided for in Section 4.3 hereof) for such Phantom Shares, and any applicable limitation on payment (as provided for in Section 4.4 hereof) for such Phantom Shares. SECTION 4.2 APPRECIATION VALUE. (a) Valuation Dates; Measurement of Appreciation Value. The Committee shall provide in the Agreement for one or more Valuation Dates on which the Appreciation Value of the Phantom Shares granted pursuant to the Agreement shall be measured and fixed, and shall designate in the Agreement the number of such Phantom Shares whose Appreciation Value is to be calculated on each such Valuation Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, each Valuation Date shall be December 15 and no Valuation Date shall occur later than the year in which the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Date of Grant occurs. (b) Payment of Appreciation Value. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5 hereof, and subject to the limitation contained in Section 4.4 hereof, the Appreciation Value of a Phantom Share shall be paid to a Participant in cash in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Valuation Date applicable to such Phantom Share. SECTION 4.3 VESTING. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in the Agreement that Phantom Shares granted thereunder shall vest (subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may provide in the Agreement) over such period of time, not in excess of five years from the Date of Grant, as may be specified in a vesting schedule contained therein. SECTION 4.4 LIMITATION ON PAYMENT.

(ii) cause the surviving entity or new owner, as the case may be, to grant new stock options and stock appreciation rights, if applicable, (the "Substitute Options"), in substitution for the unexercised Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as of the date of the Reorganization Event or to award new restricted shares (the "New Restricted Shares") in substitution for the unvested Restricted Shares, as of the date of the Reorganization Event; provided, however, that such Substitute Options or such New Restricted Shares, as the case may be, shall have a value, as of the date of such Reorganization Event, equal to the value of such unexercised Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or such unvested Restricted Shares as of such date; (iii) solely with respect to Outstanding Stock Options, provide for the payment upon termination or cancellation of Outstanding Stock Options of an amount in cash or securities equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Class B Common Stock subject to such Stock Options at the time of such termination or cancellation over the aggregate exercise price of such Stock Options; or (iv) advance the dates upon which all Outstanding Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Shares vest; (b) With respect to Phantom Shares granted pursuant to Article IV hereof, the Committee shall take one of the following actions, the choice of which being in its sole discretion, unless, in the case of any Participant, the Participant agrees otherwise: (i) cause the surviving entity or new owner, as the case may be, to agree to adopt the Plan and to maintain it, with respect to all Outstanding Phantom Shares under the Plan as of the date of the Reorganization Event, in accordance with the terms in effect as of the date of the Reorganization Event, and to A1-8 agree to adopt the related Agreements and to continue in effect their respective terms as such terms were in effect as of the date of the Reorganization Event, except that (A) the Plan and related Agreements may be modified to utilize the stock of such surviving entity or new owner, in lieu of the Class B Common Stock, to measure the Value of the Phantom Shares, if equitable adjustments are made to reflect the relative values of such stock immediately prior to the occurrence of the Reorganization Event or (B) if the Class B Common Stock continues to be utilized to measure the Value of the Phantom Shares, equitable adjustments are to be made to reflect the relative values of such stock immediately prior to and following the Reorganization Event, if appropriate; or (ii) determine the Appreciation Value of the Phantom Shares by reference to the consideration to be paid for the Class B Common Stock in such Reorganization Event, and modify the Plan and the related Agreements, if appropriate, to provide that when and if the Participant is entitled to a payment under the provisions of the Plan and related Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions regarding vesting, payment, limitation on payment and employment requirements) as they were in effect prior to the proposal of the Reorganization Event, such payment shall be computed on the basis of such Appreciation Value as so determined. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) above, in the event that the effect of the provisions contained therein should become a material impediment, either from a financial point of view or otherwise, to the consummation of a proposed Reorganization Event, the Committee may take such action as it deems equitable and appropriate to provide each Participant with a benefit equivalent to that which he would have been entitled had such event not occurred. Further, for the purposes of the first sentence of this Section 5.1, no event or series of events involving National Amusements, Inc., the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates shall be deemed to be a Reorganization Event unless such event or series of events results in there being no class of equity securities of the Company which is publicly traded.
