CBS Corporation

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

(With Time Vesting)

Granted Under the 2004 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan

 

ARTICLE I

 

TERMS OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

 

                Section 1.1  Grant of Restricted Share Units.  CBS Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the ‘‘Company’’), has awarded the Participant restricted
share units (the ‘‘RSUs’’) under the CBS Corporation 2004 Long-Term Management
Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the ‘‘Plan’’).  The RSUs have been
awarded to the Participant subject to the terms and conditions contained in
(A) the certificate for the grant of RSUs attached hereto (the “Restricted Share
Units Certificate”), (B) the terms and conditions contained herein (the
Restricted Share Units Certificate and the terms and conditions, collectively,
the “Certificate”) and (C) the Plan, the terms of which are hereby incorporated
by reference (the terms listed in (A), (B), and (C), collectively, the “Terms
and Conditions”).  A copy of the Plan has been or is being provided to the
Participant.  Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Restricted Share Units Certificate or the Plan.

 

                Section 1.2  Terms of RSUs.

 

                (a)  General and Vesting.  Each RSU corresponds to one share of
Class B Common Stock and represents the right to receive one share of Class B
Common Stock upon vesting. RSUs will be subject to forfeiture and other
restrictions until the applicable vest date.  The RSUs shall vest in equal
installments on each of the [first, second and third] [first, second, third and
fourth] anniversaries of the Date of Grant, except that any fractional RSUs
resulting from this vesting schedule shall be aggregated and shall vest on
whichever of the preceding vesting dates shall be determined by the Company in
accordance with its customary procedures.  In accordance with and subject to
Section 1.2(d) below, in the event of the Participant’s termination of
employment for any reason, unvested RSUs shall be forfeited to the Company.

 

                (b)  Settlement.  On the date each installment of the RSUs
vests, that installment of the vested RSUs shall be payable in shares of Class B
Common Stock, which may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee in its
discretion shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry
registration; provided, however, that such shares shall bear such legends as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to be necessary or advisable.
(The Company currently does not issue share certificates for the Class B Common
Stock.)  The Company will settle vested RSUs by delivering the corresponding
number of shares of Class B Common Stock (less any shares withheld to satisfy
withholding tax obligations) to the Participant’s equity compensation account
maintained with Smith Barney (or its successor as service provider to the
Company’s equity compensation plans). Following settlement, the Participant may
direct Smith Barney (or its successor) to sell some or all of such shares, may

 

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

 

leave such shares in such equity compensation account or may transfer them to an
account that the Participant maintains with a bank or broker by following the
instructions made available to the Participant by the Company.

 

(c)      Dividend Equivalents.  Dividend Equivalents shall accrue on the RSUs
until the RSUs are vested, unless the Participant has elected to defer
settlement of such RSUs, in which case Dividend Equivalents shall accrue on the
RSUs until the date of such deferred settlement.  Dividend Equivalents will be
subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as the underlying RSUs on
which the Dividend Equivalents were accrued.  The Company shall maintain a
bookkeeping account on behalf of the Participant to record the amount of the
Dividend Equivalents credited in respect of the Participant’s RSUs and shall
periodically credit the accrual of Dividend Equivalents to the Participant’s
account at such time and in such manner as determined by the Committee, in its
sole discretion.  Accrued Dividend Equivalents that have been credited to the
Participant’s account shall be paid in cash through payroll (reduced by any
amounts withheld to satisfy withholding tax obligations) as soon as practicable
following the date the RSUs on which the Dividend Equivalents accrued are
settled or on such later date on which a regular cash dividend with respect to
any accrued Dividend Equivalents is paid on the Class B Common Stock.  Accrued
Dividend Equivalents that have been credited to the Participant’s account will
not be paid with respect to any RSUs that do not vest and are cancelled. 
Dividend Equivalents will not be credited with any interest or other return
between the date they accrue and the date they are paid to the Participant.

 

(d)                   Termination of Employment.

 

(i)                 If the Participant is a party to an employment agreement
with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries at the time of a termination of
employment that provides for different treatment from Section 1.2(d)(ii), the
terms of the Participant’s employment agreement will control.

 

(ii)              Otherwise, in the event that the Participant’s employment with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries ends for any reason before the RSUs have
vested in accordance with Section 1.2(a) hereof, the Participant shall forfeit
all unvested RSUs (and all unvested Dividend Equivalents accrued thereon) as of
the date of such termination of employment, unless the Committee determines
otherwise.  A ‘‘termination of employment’’ occurs, for purposes of the RSUs,
when a Participant is no longer an employee of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for any reason, including, without limitation, a reduction in
force, a sale or divestiture or shut-down of the business for which the
Participant works, the Participant’s voluntary resignation, the Participant’s
termination with or without cause or the Participant’s retirement, death or
permanent disability.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the employment
of a Participant who works for a Subsidiary shall terminate, for purposes of the
RSUs, on the date on which the Participant’s employing company ceases to be a
Subsidiary.

ADJUSTMENT OF AWARDS

 

                Section 2.1 Effect of Certain Corporate Changes.  In the event
of a merger, consolidation, stock split, reverse stock split, dividend,
distribution, combination, reclassification, reorganization, split-up, spin-off
or recapitalization that changes the character or amount of the Class B Common
Stock or any other changes in the corporate structure, equity securities or
capital structure of the Company, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if
any, to the number and kind of securities subject to the RSUs, as it deems
appropriate. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, also make such other
adjustments as it deems appropriate in order to preserve the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available hereunder. Such determinations
by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons for all
purposes.

ARTICLE IV

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

             Section 4.1  No Rights to Grants or Continued Employment.  Neither
the Terms and Conditions nor any action taken in accordance with such documents
shall confer upon the Participant any right to be employed by or to continue in
the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to receive any future awards
under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or interfere
with or limit the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to modify the terms of
or terminate the Participant’s employment at any time for any reason.

 

Section 4.2  Restriction on Transfer.  RSUs may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of; provided, however,
that the Committee may permit transferability, subject to any conditions and
limitations that it may, in its sole discretion, impose.

 

Section 4.3  Taxes.  The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall be
entitled to withhold from any RSUs that vest, and from any payment (including
payment of accrued dividends) made with respect to the RSUs or otherwise under
the Plan to the Participant or a Participant’s estate or any permitted
transferee, an amount sufficient to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local
and/or other tax withholding requirements. The Company expects that, in order to
satisfy such requirements, it will (i) in connection with the vesting of any
RSUs, retain a portion of such shares, and (ii) in connection with the payment
any accrued cash dividends, retain a portion of the cash amount that would
otherwise be paid. As a condition to receiving this grant of

 

4

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

 

RSUs, the Participant has agreed to the foregoing actions to satisfy such tax
withholding requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its
discretion and subject to such conditions as it may determine, require or permit
the Participant to satisfy such tax withholding requirements through some other
means (including without limitation by payment of a cash amount equal to the
amount of such tax withholding requirements or by delivery of Class B Common
Stock already owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to the
amount of such tax withholding requirements).

 

Section 4.4  Stockholder Rights; Unsecured Creditor Status.  The grant of RSUs
shall not entitle the Participant or a Participant’s estate or any permitted
transferee to any rights of a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock, prior to
the time that the Participant, the Participant’s estate or the permitted
transferee shall become the registered or beneficial holder of the Class B
Common Stock underlying the RSUs.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee
in its discretion, no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or
other rights in respect of any shares of Class B Common Stock for which the
record date is prior to the date on which the Participant, a Participant’s
estate or any permitted transferee shall become the registered or beneficial
holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock. RSUs constitute unsecured and
unfunded obligations of the Company. As a holder of RSUs, the Participant shall
have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

 

Section 4.5  No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes. 
The Terms and Conditions shall not affect in any way the right or power of the
Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital
structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any
issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds,
debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or
affect the Class B Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible
into or exchangeable for Class B Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation
of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or
business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar
character or otherwise.

 

                Section 4.6  Section 409A.

 

                (a)       The intent of the parties is that payments and
distributions under these Terms and Conditions comply with Section 409A and,
accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, these Terms and Conditions shall
be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.

 

                (b)        Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
these Terms and Conditions, if the Participant is deemed on the date of
termination to be a “specified employee” (as determined by the Company pursuant
to Section 409A), and any portion of the Participant’s RSUs constitute deferred
compensation within the meaning of Section 409A, then such payment or
distribution shall not be made or provided (subject to the last sentence hereof)
prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured
from the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” (as such term is
defined under Section 409A) or (ii) the date of Participant’s death (the “Delay
Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and
distributions delayed pursuant to this section shall be paid or distributed to
the Participant promptly subject to

 

5

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

 

applicable withholding, and any remaining payments and distributions due
thereafter under these Terms and Conditions shall be paid or distributed in
accordance with the dates specified for them herein.

 

                (c)        In no event whatsoever (including, but not limited to
as a result of paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above or otherwise) shall the
Company be liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the
Participant by Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with
Section 409A or (a) or (b) above. The Participant acknowledges that he or she
has been advised to obtain independent legal, tax or other counsel in connection
with Code Section 409A.

 

                Section 4.7  Interpretation.  In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of the Certificate (including the definitions set forth
herein) and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will control. 
Additionally, in the event of a conflict or ambiguity between the provisions of
the Certificate and the provisions of any employment agreement that is in effect
and applicable to the Participant with respect to the RSUs, the provisions of
such employment agreement shall be deemed controlling to the extent such
provisions are consistent with the provisions of the Plan and are more favorable
to the Participant than the provisions of the Certificate.

 

                Section 4.8  Governmental Regulations.  The RSUs shall be
subject to all applicable rules and regulations of governmental or other
authorities.

 

                Section 4.9  Headings.  The headings of articles and sections
herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the
meaning of any of the provisions of the Terms and Conditions.

 

                Section 4.10  Governing Law.  The Terms and Conditions and all
rights hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws
of the State of Delaware.
