SAVINGS PLAN (THE "PLAN") IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.
PARTICIPANTS SHOULD REFER TO THE PLAN DOCUMENT FOR A MORE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION

THE PLAN WAS ESTABLISHED EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 1993. THE PLAN, AS AMENDED, IS A
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN COMMONLY KNOWN AS AN INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC")
SECTION 401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN AND IS SUBJECT TO THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT
INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974 ("ERISA") AS AMENDED.
TO BECOME A PARTICIPANT, AN EMPLOYEE MUST COMPLETE ONE YEAR OF SERVICE AND
ATTAIN THE AGE OF 21. PRIOR TO APRIL 1, 1995 PARTICIPATION BECAME EFFECTIVE ON
THE JANUARY 1 OR JULY 1 IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THE AGE AND SERVICE

COULD DO SO QUARTERLY. THERE WERE 6,548 AND 10,190 ACTIVE PLAN PARTICIPANTS AS
OF DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994 RESPECTIVELY.
ON SEPTEMBER 29, 1994, BLOCKBUSTER WAS MERGED WITH AND INTO VIACOM, INC. (THE
"BLOCKBUSTER MERGER"). EACH SHARE OF BLOCKBUSTER COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING AT THE
TIME OF THE BLOCKBUSTER MERGER WAS CONVERTED INTO THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE (I) 0.08
OF A SHARE OF VIACOM CLASS A COMMON STOCK, (II) 0.60615 OF A SHARE OF VIACOM
CLASS B COMMON STOCK, AND (III) ONE RIGHT TO RECEIVE UP TO A FRACTION OF A SHARE
OF VIACOM CLASS B COMMON STOCK. INCLUDED IN THE VIACOM INC. SECURITIES WERE
CERTAIN VARIABLE COMMON RIGHTS ("VCRS") REPRESENTING THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE VIACOM
CLASS B COMMON STOCK DEPENDING ON THE MARKET VALUE OF VIACOM CLASS B COMMON
STOCK DURING A SPECIFIED PERIOD FOLLOWING THE MERGER. THE PLAN'S FIDUCIARY
ASSUMED THE VCRS WERE NOT "QUALIFYING EMPLOYER SECURITIES" UNDER ERISA AND THAT

BEST INTEREST OF PLAN PARTICIPANTS TO SELL THE VCRS AND SUCH SALES WERE
COMPLETED BY DECEMBER, 1994.

HAS BEEN APPOINTED TRUSTEE. UNDER THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, THE TRUSTEE HOLDS
AND INVESTS THE FUNDS OF THE PLAN SUBJECT TO THE DIRECTION OF THE PLAN ADVISORY
COMMITTEE. THE PLAN PROVIDES SIX DISTINCT INVESTMENT FUND ALTERNATIVES FOR
