2016 Terms and Conditions to the Stock Option Certificate




ARTICLE I
TERMS OF STOCK OPTIONS


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


Section 1.2    Terms of Stock Options.


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


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


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


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


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


1







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


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


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


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


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


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


Section 1.3    Exercise of Stock Options.


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


2







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


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


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

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.

Section 4.3    Taxes.  As a condition to the exercise of the Stock Options, the Participant shall make an arrangement acceptable to the Company to pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy the combined federal, state, local or other withholding tax obligations which arise in connection with the exercise of such Stock Options and make such payment.  In accordance with the rules and procedures established by the Company for this purpose, the Participant may satisfy such withholding obligations through a procedure 


5







involving a broker or dealer, that affords the Participant the opportunity to sell immediately some or all of the shares underlying the exercised portion of the Stock Options in order to generate sufficient cash to pay such withholding obligations.  In addition, if the Company so permits, the Exercise Price may be paid in whole or in part using a net share settlement procedure or through the withholding of shares subject to the applicable Stock Options with a value equal to the Exercise Price.


Section 4.4    Stockholder Rights.  The grant of Stock Options under the Certificate shall not entitle the Participant or a Participant’s estate, any permitted transferee or beneficiary to any rights of a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock, unless, and only when, the Participant, the Participant’s estate, or the permitted transferee or beneficiary is registered on the books and records of the Company as a stockholder and shares are delivered to such party upon exercise of the Stock Options.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion or specified herein, 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 or beneficiary shall become the holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock.
Section 4.5    No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes.  Neither the Plan nor the Certificate shall 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.  If any provision of the Certificate contravenes any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated under Section 409A or could cause the Participant to be required to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Options before such Stock Options are exercised or to be subject to any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, such provision of the Certificate may be modified to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without the imposition of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A.  Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Board or the Committee may have pursuant to the Certificate shall not be applicable to Stock Options that are subject to Section 409A to the extent such discretionary authority will contravene Section 409A.


Section 4.7    Amendment.  The Committee shall have broad authority to amend the Certificate without approval of the Participant to the extent necessary or desirable (a) to comply with, or take into account changes in, applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations or (b) to ensure that the Participant is not required to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Options before such Stock Options are exercised and is not subject to additional tax or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Stock Options.  The Committee shall not be obligated to make any such amendment, however, and neither the Committee nor the Company makes any representation or guarantee that the Stock Options will not be subject to additional tax or interest under Section 409A.


Section 4.8    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 


6







the provisions of any employment agreement that is in effect and applicable to the Participant with respect to the Stock Options, 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 4.9    Breach of Covenants.  In the event that the Committee makes a good faith determination that the Participant committed a material breach of the restrictive covenants relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, confidential information or proprietary property in any employment or other agreement applicable to the Participant during the Participant’s employment or the one-year period after termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason, the Participant shall be required to return any “gain” (as defined below) realized on the Stock Options during the one-year period prior to such breach or at any time after such breach occurs.  In addition, if the Committee makes such determination, the Participant’s Outstanding Stock Options, whether or not vested, will be forfeited. The “gain” on the Stock Options shall mean the difference between the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise and the Exercise Price.


Section 4.10    Limited Purpose Accounts.  If the Participant is a Plan participant in the United States, the Company shall be entitled to access the information contained in the Participant’s individual limited purpose account maintained by the applicable plan administrator; provided, however, that the Company may not disclose individual account information to third parties (other than the plan administrator).
