Item 4.  Description
of Securities.
Under the Excess 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k)
Plan for Designated Senior Executives, the Company provides eligible employees
the opportunity to agree to the deferral of a specific percentage of their cash
compensation.  Under the Bonus Deferral
Plan and the Bonus Deferral Plan for Designated Senior Executives, the Company
provides eligible employees the opportunity to agree to the deferral of a
specific percentage of their bonus compensation.  The obligations of the Company under such
agreements (the "
Obligations
") will be unsecured
general obligations of the Company to pay the deferred compensation, including,
in the case of the Excess 401(k) Plan and the Excess 401(k) Plan for Designated
Senior Executives, the amounts that the Registrant has credited to a
participant's account as matching contributions, and earnings credited on such
amounts in the future in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan, and
will rank
pari passu
with other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding.
Under the Excess 401(k) Plan, the Excess 401(k) Plan
for Designated Senior Executives, the Bonus Deferral Plan and the Bonus Deferral
Plan for Designated Senior Executives, amounts credited to a participant's
account are credited with earnings based on a notional investment measurement,
which may be shares in investment companies registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (mutual funds), commingled investment funds managed by
banks or registered investment advisors, bank and debt obligations, investment
contracts issued by insurance companies, direct or guaranteed federal or state
governmental obligations and shares of common stock that are listed on a domestic
or international stock
II-1
exchange
, including shares of the Registrant's Class A
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and Class B Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share.  The Obligations
are payable in cash after termination of employment in a lump-sum distribution
or in installments, in accordance with the participant's payment election made
in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan.
The Obligations are not
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Any attempt by any person to transfer or
assign benefits under the Excess 401(k) Plan, the Excess 401(k) Plan for
Designated Senior Executives, the Bonus Deferral Plan or the Bonus Deferral
Plan for Designated Senior Executives, other than a claim for benefits by a
participant or his or her beneficiary(ies), will be null and void.
There is no trading market
for the Obligations.  The Obligations are
not convertible into any other security of the Registrant.  No trustee has been appointed to take action
with respect to the Obligations and each participant in the Excess 401(k) Plan,
the Excess 401(k) Plan for Designated Senior Executives, the Bonus Deferral
Plan or the Bonus Deferral Plan for Designated Senior Executives will be
responsible for enforcing his or her own rights with respect to the
Obligations.  The Registrant may, but is
not obligated to, set aside amounts or establish a trust or fund to serve as a
source of funds from which it can satisfy the Obligations.  Participants in the Excess 401(k) Plan, the
Excess 401(k) Plan for Designated Senior Executives, the Bonus Deferral Plan or
the Bonus Deferral Plan for Designated Senior Executives will have no rights to
any assets held in any trust or fund except as general creditors of the
Registrant.  Assets in any trust or fund
will at all times be subject to the claims of the Registrant's general
creditors
.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Michael D. Fricklas, Esq., Executive Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Registrant, who has rendered an
opinion as to the enforceability of the Obligations, participates in the Excess
401(k) Plan for Designated Senior Executives and the Bonus Deferral Plan for
Designated Senior Executives and may continue to do so in the future.
Item 6. 
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102(b)(7) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law ("
DGCL
")
allows a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except in cases where the director breached his duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, failed to act in good faith, engaged in
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, willfully or
negligently authorized the unlawful payment of a dividend or approved an
unlawful stock redemption or repurchase or obtained an improper personal
benefit.  The Registrant's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "
Viacom Charter
")
contains provisions that eliminate directors' personal liability, in certain
circumstances.
Pursuant to the Viacom
Charter and the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "
Viacom Bylaws
"), the Registrant shall indemnify any person
who was or is involved in or is threatened to be involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer or employee of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the
request of the Registrant as a director, officer or employee (including a
trustee) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise (such person, an "
indemnitee
"),
to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and
expenses (including attorneys' fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with
respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of
expenses, the Registrant shall indemnify an indemnitee in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the
II-2
indemnitee, if and only if the Board of Directors of
the Registrant authorized the bringing of the action, suit or proceeding (or
part thereof) in advance of the commencement of the proceeding.
Pursuant to the Viacom
Charter and the Viacom Bylaws, to the extent that an indemnitee has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
The indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the
indemnification provisions of the Viacom Charter and the Viacom Bylaws shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute,
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office.  Without
limiting the foregoing, the Registrant is authorized to enter into an agreement
with any director, officer or employee of the Registrant providing
indemnification for such person against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that result from any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, including any action, suit or
proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant, that arises by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director,
officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, to the fullest extent allowed by law, except that no such
agreement shall provide for indemnification for any actions that constitute
fraud, actual dishonesty or willful misconduct.
The Registrant may purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer or employee of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of
the Registrant as a director, officer or employee of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the Viacom
Charter.
The Registrant has purchased certain liability
insurance for its officers and directors as permitted by Section 145(g) of
the DGCL.
Item 7.  Exemption
from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8.  Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
Item
9.  Undertakings
.
(a)
The undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this Registration Statement:
(i)
to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in
the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
II-3
amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii)
to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that
the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
