Dated as of August 27, 2009

SPLIT-OFF AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) between Blockbuster Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Blockbuster”), and Viacom Inc., a Delaware corporation (“New
Viacom”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

(1) CBS Corporation, a Delaware corporation formerly known as Viacom Inc.
(“Viacom”), CBS Operations Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Viacom
International Inc. (“Viacom International”), and Blockbuster entered into that
certain Amended and Restated Initial Public Offering and Split-Off Agreement
dated as of June 18, 2004 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
through the date hereof, the “IPO and Split-Off Agreement”; terms defined
therein unless otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined).

(2) New Viacom has succeeded to the interests of Viacom and Viacom International
under the IPO and Split-Off Agreement.

(3) Pursuant to Section 5.05(e) of the IPO and Split-Off Agreement, Blockbuster
is required to deliver updated semi-annual lease schedules (“Lease Schedules”)
to New Viacom each April 30th and October 31st for so long as any Guarantees
remain in effect.

(4) Since the issuance of the Lease Schedule dated as of April 30, 2009,
Blockbuster has (i) secured the releases (the “Releases”) of various Guarantees
under certain Guaranteed Leases in the United Kingdom, and (ii) delivered
letters (the “Waiver Letters”) to various landlords under certain Guaranteed
Leases in the United States and Canada (the “Waiver Leases”), pursuant to which
Blockbuster has waived any and all rights to renew or otherwise extend the terms
of the Waiver Leases. The Blockbuster store numbers covered by the Releases and
the Waiver Letters are listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

(5) Blockbuster has requested that New Viacom agree to accept an interim lease
schedule as of August 10, 2009 (the “Interim Schedule”) reflecting the effects
of the Releases, the Waiver Letters and other changed circumstances, with the
same force and effect as other Lease Schedules delivered pursuant to
Section 5.05(e).

(6) New Viacom has agreed to accept the Interim Schedule on condition that
Blockbuster agrees to amend certain provisions of the IPO and Split-Off
Agreement on the terms set forth herein.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Amendments to IPO and Split-Off Agreement. Subsections (b), (c) and (d) of
Section 5.05 of the IPO and Split-Off Agreement are hereby deleted in their
entirety and replaced with the following provisions:

(b) Unless the related Guarantee shall have been terminated prior to the
exercise of any such option, Blockbuster shall not, and shall cause its
Affiliates not to, exercise any renewal option under any Renewable Guaranteed
Lease.

(c) Unless the related Guarantee shall have been terminated prior to or
contemporaneously with any such Modification (as hereafter defined), Blockbuster
shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, amend or modify any Guaranteed
Lease (including, without limitation, extending the existing term thereof or
adding any options to renew or extend thereto), or waive any term thereof in a
manner that would increase the potential liability of Viacom and its Affiliates
thereunder (such amendment, modification or waiver being referred to herein as a
“Modification”).

(d) Unless the related Guarantee shall have been terminated prior to or
contemporaneously with any such sale, assignment or transfer, Blockbuster shall
not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, sell, assign or transfer any
Guaranteed Lease to any party that is not a Blockbuster Affiliate (unless
Blockbuster or its Affiliate, as applicable, is contractually bound, pursuant to
a contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, to so sell, assign
or transfer), except, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Blockbuster may do so if (i) Blockbuster or its applicable
Affiliates remain liable for all the tenant’s obligations thereunder following
such sale, assignment or transfer and (ii) the purchaser, assignee or transferee
of such Guaranteed Lease agrees in writing (v) not to renew any Renewable
Guaranteed Lease, (w) not to extend any Renewable Guaranteed Lease without
obtaining a termination of the related Guarantee prior to or contemporaneously
with any such extension, (x) not to amend or modify such lease in a manner that
increases the potential liability of Viacom or its Affiliates and to provide
notice to Viacom of any Modification and any other notice or document required
to be delivered by Blockbuster to Viacom pursuant to paragraph (c) above and
(f) below, (y) to make available access to such Guaranteed Leases and related
agreements, notices, documents, books and records in the offices of such
purchaser, assignee or transferee (or the offices of their respective agents,
accountants and/or management companies) to the same extent and at the same
times as Blockbuster would be required to make such agreements, notices,
documents, books and records available pursuant to this Section 5.05, and
(z) that any subsequent purchaser, assignee or transferee of such Guaranteed
Lease shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof
applicable to such initial purchaser, assignee or transferee; provided, however,
with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), if, after using reasonable efforts,
Blockbuster is unable to obtain the agreement of any such purchaser, assignee or
transferee to comply with the terms and conditions thereof, Blockbuster and its
Affiliates shall be entitled to sell, assign or transfer such Guaranteed Lease
without giving effect to clause (ii) with the prior written consent of Viacom.

2. Releases. New Viacom hereby accepts each of the Releases as valid and
binding, with the exception of the Releases relating to the following locations
(the “Pending Releases”):

(a) Store No. 60122 – Cannock; and

(b) Store No. 65566 – Sheffield.

Upon receipt of a legal opinion letter from Dundas & Wilson or from another law
firm reasonably acceptable to New Viacom, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to New Viacom (the “Opinion”), certifying (assuming reliance on local
counsel in the foreign jurisdictions) that each of the Pending Releases is fully
binding under English and Welsh law to effectuate the release of the guarantor
under the respective Guaranteed Lease, New Viacom shall accept each such Pending
Release as valid and binding. New Viacom shall use reasonable best efforts to
procure the Opinion for each of the Pending Releases as expeditiously as
practicable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Waiver Letters.

(a) New Viacom hereby accepts the Waiver Letters as valid and binding.

(b) New Viacom shall have the right to issue notices to each landlord to which a
Waiver Letter has been sent stating that the existing Guarantee of the relevant
Waiver Lease shall be of no force and effect as of the current expiration date
thereof.

(c) No later than ten (10) days following the current expiration date of each
Waiver Lease, Blockbuster shall provide notice to New Viacom either that
(i) such Waiver Lease has expired and the premises leased thereunder has been
surrendered, (ii) such Waiver Lease has expired and a new lease has been entered
into by Blockbuster for the premises leased thereunder or (iii) such Waiver
Lease has been extended beyond the current expiration date thereof, but that the
respective Guarantee of such Waiver Lease has been released. Such notice shall
be supported by copies of relevant documentation, to the extent available.

(d) Blockbuster hereby warrants and represents to New Viacom that it has duly
delivered the Waiver Letters to each applicable landlord in accordance with the
terms of its respective lease.

(e) Blockbuster shall promptly forward to New Viacom copies of any notices,
correspondence or other communications it receives from any party in response to
the notices sent to the landlord’s lenders for Store Nos. 37035 and 51036.

4. Nominal Amount; Required Amount.

(a) The parties agree that the “Nominal Amount” as of the date of the Interim
Schedule is $33,660,130.55, and that the “Required Amount” as of the date of the
Interim Schedule is $25,245,098.00.

(b) The parties hereby confirm that the definition of “Nominal Amount” under the
IPO and Split-Off Agreement shall be deemed to include the aggregate
undiscounted amount of all future lease payments for the next unexercised
renewal or extension term which follows the expiration date then in effect, to
the extent such unexercised renewal or extension term would be subject to a
Guarantee, as of the date of each Lease Schedule.

(c) Immediately upon full execution of this Amendment, New Viacom shall issue
notice to the issuers of the Letter of Credit, in a form mutually agreed upon,
to reduce the Available Amount to an amount equal to the Required Amount
reflected on the Interim Schedule.

(d) The parties agree that, at any one time between the date of this Amendment
and September 30, 2009, Blockbuster shall have the right to deliver a second
interim lease schedule (the “Second Interim Schedule”) to New Viacom and to
request an additional reduction of the Available Amount. The Second Interim
Schedule will contain exactly the same information as the Interim Schedule
(i.e., all data shall be as of August 10, 2009) except with respect to any
Pending Releases for which Opinions have been received since the date of this
Amendment. So long as no Default has occurred under the IPO and Split-Off
Agreement and assuming satisfaction by Blockbuster of all the terms and
conditions set forth herein, New Viacom shall issue notice to the issuers of the
Letter of Credit, in a form mutually agreed upon, to further reduce the
Available Amount to the Required Amount reflected in the Second Interim Schedule
within five (5) business days following New Viacom’s receipt of the Second
Interim Schedule, provided that New Viacom has received the applicable Opinions.

written request therefore (which request shall be accompanied by copies of all
applicable invoices, excluding detailed time entries), Blockbuster shall
reimburse New Viacom for (i) all legal fees incurred in connection with its
review of the Interim Schedule, the Releases, Waiver Letters and supporting
documentation, in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00, plus (ii) all legal fees
incurred in connection with the Opinion by Dundas & Wilson (including the legal
fees incurred by Dundas & Wilson in connection with the engagement of local
counsel relating to the Releases and Pending Releases).

(a) On and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, each reference in the IPO
and Split-Off Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of
like import referring to the IPO and Split-Off Agreement shall mean and be a

(b) The IPO and Split-Off Agreement, as specifically amended by this Amendment,
is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all
respects ratified and confirmed.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not,
except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or
remedy of any party under the IPO and Split-Off Agreement, nor constitute a
waiver of any provision of any of the IPO and Split-Off Agreement.

8. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by fax shall be
