Information shall not be deemed Confidential Information which (x) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by you or at your direction or by any other person who directly or indirectly receives such information from you, or (y) is or becomes available to you on a non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to you. For purposes of this paragraph 6(b), the term “third party” shall be defined to mean any person other than CBS and its subsidiaries or any of their respective directors and senior officers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, your obligation to protect confidential and proprietary information shall not prohibit you from disclosing matters that are protected under any applicable whistleblower laws, including reporting possible violations of laws or regulations, or responding to inquiries from, or testifying before, any governmental agency or self-regulating authority, all without notice to or consent from CBS. Additionally, you hereby are notified that the immunity provisions in Section 1833 of title 18 of the United States Code provide that an individual cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to federal, state or local government officials, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of the law, (ii) under seal in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, or (iii) to your attorney in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law (and the trade secret may be used in the court proceedings for such lawsuit) as

(i) employ or solicit the employment of any person who is then or has been within twelve (12) months prior thereto, an employee of CBS or any of CBS’s affiliated companies; or

(ii) do any act or thing to cause, bring about, or induce any interference with, disturbance to, or interruption of any of the then-existing relationships (whether or not such relationships have been reduced to formal contracts) of CBS or any of CBS’s affiliated companies with any customer, employee, consultant or supplier.

(d) CBS Ownership. The results and proceeds of your services under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any works of authorship resulting from your services during your employment with CBS and/or any of CBS’s affiliated companies and any works in progress resulting from such services, shall be works-made-for-hire and CBS shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all rights of every nature in such works, whether such rights are now known or hereafter defined or discovered, with the right to use the works in perpetuity in any manner CBS determines, in its discretion, without any further payment to you. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds are not legally deemed a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any rights in such results and proceeds which do not accrue to CBS under the preceding sentence, then you hereby irrevocably assign and agree to assign any and all of your right, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks and/or other rights of every nature in the work, whether now known or hereafter defined or discovered, and CBS shall have the right to use the work in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner CBS determines, in its discretion, without any further payment to you.

any ownership rights to which CBS may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of being your employer.

(e) Litigation.

(i) You agree that during the Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter or, if later, during the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding, (x) you shall not communicate with anyone (other than your own attorneys and tax advisors), except to the extent necessary in the performance of your duties under this Agreement, with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation, or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving CBS, or any of CBS’s affiliated companies, other than any litigation or other proceeding in which you are a party-in-opposition, without giving prior notice to CBS or its counsel; and (y) in the event that any other party attempts to obtain information or documents from you with respect to such matters, either through formal legal process such as a subpoena or by informal means such as interviews, you shall promptly notify CBS’s counsel before providing any information or documents.

(ii) You agree to cooperate with CBS and its attorneys, both during and after the termination of your employment, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to matters in which you were involved or had knowledge of prior to the termination of your employment. Your cooperation shall include, without limitation, providing assistance to CBS’s counsel, experts or consultants, providing truthful testimony in pretrial and trial or hearing proceedings. In the event that your cooperation is requested after the termination of your employment, CBS will (x) seek to minimize interruptions to your schedule to the extent consistent with its interests in the matter; and (y) reimburse you for all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by you in connection with such cooperation upon reasonable substantiation of such expenses.

(g) Return of Property. All documents, data, recordings, or other property, whether tangible or intangible, including all information stored in electronic form, obtained or prepared by or for you and utilized by you in the course of your employment with CBS shall remain the exclusive property of CBS.

In the event that the law of any state or other jurisdiction requires the consent of an employee for such deductions, this Agreement shall serve as such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6(g) to the contrary, CBS will not exercise such right to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to you that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Code Section 409A”).

(h) Non-Disparagement.

(i) Injunctive Relief. CBS has entered into this Agreement in order to obtain the benefit of your unique skills, talent, and experience. You acknowledge and agree that any violation of paragraphs 6(a) through (h) of this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to CBS and, accordingly, CBS may obtain injunctive and other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of such paragraphs, in addition to any other remedies available to CBS.

You and CBS agree that the restrictions and remedies contained in paragraphs 6(a) through (i) are reasonable and that it is your intention and the intention of CBS that such restrictions and remedies shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible by law. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall find that any such restriction or remedy is unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the period or area of application reduced, then such restriction or remedy shall apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable. You acknowledge that CBS conducts its business operations around the world and has invested considerable time and effort to develop the international brand and goodwill associated with the “CBS” name. To that end, you further acknowledge that the obligations set forth in this paragraph 6 are by necessity international in scope and necessary to protect the international operations and goodwill of CBS and its affiliated companies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and determined pursuant to procedures adopted by CBS) at the time of your termination and any portion of your Accelerated Share Awards that would otherwise be settled during the six-month period following your termination of employment constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such portion shall instead be settled on the Permissible Payment Date.

(iii) You shall be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in paragraph 7(b)(ii) by seeking other employment, and the amount of such payments shall be reduced by any compensation earned by

You agree to advise CBS immediately and in writing of any employment for which you are receiving such payments and to provide documentation as requested by CBS with respect to such employment. The payments provided for in paragraph 7(b)(ii) are in lieu of any other severance or income continuation or protection under any CBS plan, program or agreement that may now or hereafter exist (unless the terms of such plan, program or agreement expressly state that the payments and benefits payable thereunder are intended to be in addition to the type of payments and benefits described in paragraph 7(b)(ii) of this Agreement).

(i) You may resign your employment under this Agreement with Good Reason at any time during the Term by written notice of termination to CBS given no more than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason. Such notice shall state an effective resignation date that is not earlier than thirty (30) business days and not later than sixty (60) days after the date it is given to CBS, provided that CBS may set an earlier effective date for your resignation at any time after receipt of your notice. For purposes of this Agreement (and any other agreement that expressly incorporates the definition of Good Reason hereunder), “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without your consent (other than in connection with the termination or suspension of your employment or duties for Cause or in connection with physical and mental incapacity): (A) a material reduction in (1) your position, titles, offices, reporting relationships, authorities, duties or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to such reduction, including any such reduction effected through any arrangement involving the sharing of your position, titles, offices, reporting relationships, authorities, duties or responsibilities, or any such reduction which would remove positions, titles, offices, reporting relationships, authorities, duties or responsibilities which are customarily given to an executive of a public company comparable to CBS or (2) your base Salary or target compensation in effect immediately prior to such reduction, including your annual Target Bonus or long term incentive targets (for the avoidance of doubt, a material reduction shall include and be deemed to have occurred with respect to clause (A)(1) above if either (x) you cease to be the most senior executive responsible for human resources and administration of CBS (provided that no cessation will be deemed to have occurred if CBS has an ultimate parent company that is a public company and you are the most senior executive responsible for human resources

CBS shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of your notice within which to cure and, in the event of such cure, your notice shall be of no further force or effect. If no cure is effected, your resignation will be effective as of the date specified in your written notice to CBS or such earlier effective date set by CBS following receipt of your notice.

(ii) In the event that your employment terminates under paragraph 7(c)(i) during the Term, you shall thereafter receive, less applicable withholding taxes, (x) the Accrued Obligations, payable within thirty (30) days following your termination date, and (y), subject to your compliance with paragraph 7(j) hereunder, the following payments and benefits:

(I) beginning on the Regular Payroll Date following your termination date, you will receive your Regular Payroll Amount on the Regular Payroll Dates that occur on or before March 15^th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which your employment terminates;

(II) beginning with the first Regular Payroll Date after March 15^th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which your employment terminates, you will receive your Regular Payroll Amount, if any remains due, until you have received an amount equal to the maximum amount permitted to be paid pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A) (i.e., the lesser of (x) two times your “annualized compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A or (y) two times the limit under Code Section 401(a)(17) for the calendar year in which your termination occurs, which is $510,000 for 2013); provided, however, that in no event shall payment be made to you pursuant to this paragraph 7(c)(ii)(A)(II) later than December 31st of the second calendar year following your termination of employment; and

provided, however, that to the extent that you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and determined pursuant to procedures adopted by CBS) at the time of your termination and any portion of your Regular Payroll Amount that would be paid to you during the six-month period following your termination of employment constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such portion shall be paid to on the Permissible Payment Date rather than as described in paragraph 7(c)(ii)(A)(I), (II) or (III), as applicable, and any remaining Salary, if any, shall be paid to you or your estate, as applicable, by payment of your Regular Payroll Amount on your Regular Payroll Dates commencing with the Regular Payroll Date that follows the Permissible Payment Date. Each payment pursuant to this paragraph 7(c)(ii)(A) shall be regarded as a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(B) Bonus: an additional severance amount equal to 1.5 times your Severance Bonus, determined and paid as follows:

(I) an amount equal to your Severance Bonus, prorated for the number of calendar days remaining in the calendar year in which your employment terminates, and payable between January 1^st and March 15^th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which your employment terminates; provided, however, that to the extent (x) you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and determined pursuant to procedures adopted by CBS) at the time of your termination, (y) your date of termination pursuant to paragraph 7(c)(i) occurs after June 30th of the calendar year, and (z) the prorated bonus described in this paragraph 7(c)(ii)(B)(I) is determined to constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then such prorated bonus shall not be paid to you until the earlier of (a) the first business day of the seventh calendar month following the calendar month in which your termination of employment occurs or (b) your death. Each payment pursuant to this paragraph 7(c)(ii)(B)(I) shall be

(IV) All Accelerated Share Awards shall accelerate and vest immediately on the Release Effective Date and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided, however, that with respect to Accelerated Share Awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on your termination date, in the event and limited to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception is required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such Accelerated Share Award under Code Section 162(m), such Accelerated Share Award shall vest to the extent the Committee certifies that the performance goal relating to such Accelerated Share Award has been met, or, if later, the Release Effective Date, and shall be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided, further, that with respect to Accelerated Share Awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on your termination date, in the event and to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception under Code Section 162(m) is not required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such Accelerated Share Award, such Accelerated Share Award shall immediately vest (with an assumption that the performance goal(s) were achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) on the Release Effective Date and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided, further, that to the extent any RSU awards and other equity awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights (or portions thereof) granted prior to the Effective Date constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then, subject to the requirement that settlement of such awards be delayed until the Permissible Payment Date, such awards shall immediately vest on the Release Effective Date, but settlement of such awards shall occur in accordance with the established vesting and settlement schedule for such awards as though their vesting were not accelerated pursuant to this clause (E)(IV).

You agree to advise CBS immediately and in writing of any employment for which you are receiving such payments and to provide documentation as requested by CBS with respect to such employment. The payments provided for in paragraph 7(c)(ii) are in lieu of any other severance or income continuation or protection under any CBS plan, program or agreement that may now or hereafter exist (unless the terms of such plan, program or agreement expressly state that the payments and benefits payable thereunder are intended to be in addition to the type of payments and benefits described in paragraph 7(c)(ii) of this Agreement).

as of September 29, 2016

Page 23

or, if you do not become eligible to receive benefits under CBS’s LTD program, you have not returned to work by the six (6) month anniversary of your Disability onset date.

(ii) Except as provided in this paragraph 7(e)(ii), if you become Disabled while employed full-time during the Term, you will exclusively receive compensation under the STD program in accordance with its terms and, thereafter, under the LTD program in accordance with its terms, provided you are eligible to receive LTD program benefits.

(A) for the portion of the calendar year from January 1^st until the date on which you first receive compensation under the STD program, bonus compensation shall be determined in accordance with the STIP (i.e., based upon CBS’s achievement of its goals and CBS’s good faith estimate of your achievement of your personal goals) and prorated for such period; and

exercise period of such awards extend beyond their expiration date; (ii) all awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights that have previously vested and become exercisable by your termination date shall remain exercisable until the greater of three years following the termination date or the period provided in accordance with the terms of the grant, provided that in no event shall the exercise period of such awards extend beyond their expiration date; (iii) all awards of RSUs and other equity awards that remain subject only to time-based vesting conditions on your termination date shall immediately vest and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; and (iv) all awards of RSUs and other equity awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on your termination date shall vest if and to the extent the Committee certifies that a level of the performance goal(s) relating to such RSU or other equity award has been met following the end of the applicable performance period, and shall be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter.

(f) Renewal Notice / Non-Renewal.

(i) CBS shall notify you six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term in writing if it intends to continue your employment beyond the expiration of the Term.

(A) if CBS terminates your employment during the eighteen (18) month period following the Expiration Date without Cause (as that term is defined in paragraph 7(a)(i)), then, except as set forth in paragraph 7(k)(v) of the Agreement, you shall be eligible to receive, less applicable withholding taxes, (x) the Accrued Obligations, payable within thirty (30) days following your termination date, and (y), subject to your compliance with paragraph 7(j) hereunder, the severance payments due under paragraphs 7(b)(ii)(A), (B) and (C); and

(B) if CBS terminates your employment beyond the eighteen (18) month period following the Expiration Date as an “at will” employee without Cause (as that term is defined in paragraph 7(a)(i)), then, except as set forth in paragraph 7(k)(v) of the Agreement, you shall become eligible to receive severance under the then current CBS severance policy applicable to executives at your level, subject to the terms of such severance policy (including your execution of a release in favor of CBS pursuant to such policy to the extent required).

(iv) Nothing in this paragraph 7(f) shall (x) create a right to continued employment with CBS or be interpreted as forming an employment contract with CBS, or interfere with the ability of CBS to terminate your employment or (y) obligate you to continue your employment with CBS.

(v) You shall be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in paragraph 7(f) by seeking other employment, and the amount of such payments shall be reduced by any compensation earned by you from any source other than as a result of your self-employment, including, without limitation, salary, sign-on or annual bonus compensation, consulting fees, and commission payments; provided, however, that mitigation shall not be

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Page 26

required, and no reduction for other compensation shall be made, for earnings for services provided during the first twelve (12) months after the termination of your employment. You agree to advise CBS immediately and in writing of any employment for which you are receiving such payments and to provide documentation as requested by CBS with respect to such employment. The payments provided for in paragraph 7(f) are in lieu of any other severance or income continuation or protection under any CBS plan, program or agreement that may now or hereafter exist (unless the terms of such plan, program or agreement expressly state that the payments and benefits payable thereunder are intended to be in addition to the type of payments and benefits described in paragraph 7(f) of this Agreement).

(g) Retirement.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if (A) you remain employed with CBS or one of its subsidiaries through the Expiration Date, and (B) your employment with CBS or any of its subsidiaries either (x) is terminated by you or by CBS effective as of the calendar day next following the Expiration Date or (y) continues beyond the Expiration Date on an “at will” basis but is subsequently terminated by you or by CBS, in either case for reasons other than for Cause (but including death or Disability as defined in this Agreement) (“Retirement”), any then outstanding and unvested equity or equity-based awards (“Outstanding Awards”) shall continue vesting in accordance with their established vesting schedule through the third anniversary of your termination date (the “Extended Vesting Period”) so long as you comply with the obligations set forth in paragraphs 6(a) and 6(b) during the Extended Vesting Period; provided, however, that vesting of Outstanding Awards shall be accelerated (rather than continued) to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, unless compliance with the performance-based compensation exception is required in order to ensure the deductibility of any Outstanding Award under Code Section 162(m), in which case such Outstanding Award shall vest if and when the Committee certifies that the performance goal relating to such award has been met. Outstanding Awards in the form of stock options and stock appreciation rights (“Outstanding Stock Rights”), once vested, shall remain exercisable until their expiration date. The exercisability of stock options and stock appreciation rights that are outstanding and vested on the date of your Retirement shall be governed by the terms and conditions otherwise applicable to those grants.

(ii) If you breach the obligations set forth in paragraph 6(a) or 6(b) at any time during the Extended Vesting Period (which for the avoidance of doubt shall apply to the Extended Vesting Period), CBS may (A) immediately cancel any Outstanding Stock Rights that remain outstanding (whether or not vested), (B) immediately cancel any Outstanding Awards other than Outstanding

(iii) In the event of your death during the Extended Vesting Period, any Outstanding Awards that remain unvested as of the date of your death shall continue to vest in accordance with their established vesting schedules for the remainder of the Extended Vesting Period, and your designated beneficiary (or, if no beneficiary has been designated, your estate) shall be permitted to exercise any Outstanding Stock Rights that have vested and remain outstanding until their expiration date.

(h) Resignation from Official Positions. If your employment with CBS terminates for any reason, you shall automatically be deemed to have resigned at that time from any and all officer or director positions that you may have held with CBS, or any of CBS’s affiliated companies and all board seats or other positions in other entities you held on behalf of CBS, including any fiduciary positions (including as a trustee) you hold with respect to any employee benefit plans or trusts established by CBS. You agree that this Agreement shall serve as written notice of resignation in this circumstance. If, however, for any reason this paragraph 7(h) is deemed insufficient to effectuate such resignation, you agree to execute, upon the request of CBS or any of its affiliated companies, any documents or instruments which CBS may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such resignation or resignations, and you hereby authorize the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary of CBS or any of CBS’s affiliated companies to execute any such documents or instruments as your attorney-in-fact.

(i) Termination of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except as otherwise provided in paragraph 7(b)(ii)(C), 7(c)(ii)(C), 7(f)(ii), 7(f)(iii)(A), or 7(k)(ii)(C), as applicable, with respect to medical and dental benefits), participation in all CBS benefit plans and programs (including, without limitation, vacation accrual, all retirement and related excess plans and LTD) will terminate upon the termination of your employment except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such plans or programs, and subject to any vested rights you may have under the terms of such plans or programs. The foregoing shall not apply to the LTIP and, after the termination of your employment, your rights under the LTIP shall be governed by the terms of the LTIP award agreements, certificates, the applicable LTIP plan(s) and this Agreement.

Your failure or refusal to sign and deliver the release or your revocation of an executed and delivered release in accordance with applicable laws, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in the forfeiture of the payments and benefits under paragraph 7(b)(ii), 7(c)(ii), 7(f)(ii), 7(f)(iii)(A) or 7(k)(ii), or vesting of Outstanding Awards under paragraph 7(g), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the sixty (60) day period does not begin and end in the same calendar year, then the Release Effective Date shall occur no earlier than January 1^st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which your termination occurs.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the payments and benefits described in paragraphs 7(b)(ii), 7(c)(ii), 7(f)(ii), 7(f)(iii)(A) and 7(k)(ii), and the continued vesting of Outstanding Awards described in paragraph 7(g), as applicable, shall immediately cease, and CBS shall have no further obligations to you with respect thereto, in the event that you materially breach any provision of paragraph 6 hereof.

(ii) Termination Payments. In the event that (x) CBS terminates your employment without Cause (as defined in paragraph 7(a)(i)), whether during or after the Term; (y) you resign your employment with Good Reason (as defined in paragraph 7(c)(i)), whether during or after the Term; or (z) your employment ceases under circumstances described in paragraph 7(f)(ii) or 7(f)(iii), in each case during the twenty-four (24) month period following the date of a Corporate Event, you shall thereafter receive, less applicable withholding taxes, the Accrued Obligations, payable within thirty (30) days following your termination date, and subject to your compliance with paragraph 7(j) hereunder, the following payments and benefits:

(A) Pro-Rata Bonus: a Bonus for the calendar year in which your employment is terminated, such Bonus to be determined based on actual performance and consistent with senior executives who remain employed with CBS, and then prorated based on the number of calendar days of such year elapsed through the date your employment is terminated (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”), payable, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, between January 1^st and March 15^th of the following calendar year;

(B) Enhanced Severance Amount: an amount equal to three (3) times the sum of (i) your Salary in effect at the time of your termination (or, if your Salary has been reduced in violation of this Agreement, your highest Salary during the Term) and (ii) the average of your actual annual Bonus awards for the three years immediately preceding the year in which your employment is terminated (the “Enhanced Severance Amount”). To the extent the Enhanced Severance Amount exceeds the sum of (x) the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 7(b)(ii)(A) or 7(c)(ii)(A), as applicable, and (y) the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 7(b)(ii)(B) or 7(c)(ii)(B), as applicable, such excess portion shall be paid in a lump sum within thirty (30) days following your termination date.

Page 31

accordance with the schedule described in paragraph 7(b)(ii)(B) or 7(c)(ii)(B), as applicable; provided, however, that to the extent such remaining portions of the Enhanced Severance Amount do not constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such portions shall also be paid in a lump sum within thirty (30) days following your termination date, with any remainder to be paid in accordance with the schedule described in paragraph 7(b)(ii)(A) or 7(b)(ii)(B), as applicable; provided, further, that if you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and determined pursuant to procedures adopted by CBS) at the time of your termination and any portion of the Enhanced Severance Amount that would be paid to you during the six-month period following your termination of employment constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such portion shall be paid to you in a lump sum on the Permissible Payment Date rather than as described above, and any remaining Enhanced Severance Amount shall be paid to you or your estate, as applicable, in accordance with the installment payment schedule set forth above on your Regular Payroll Dates commencing with the Regular Payroll Date that follows the Permissible Payment Date. Each payment pursuant to this paragraph 7(k)(ii)(B) shall be regarded as a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A;

(C) Health Benefits: medical and dental insurance coverage for you and your eligible dependents at no cost to you (except as hereafter described) pursuant to the CBS benefit plans in which you participated in at the time of your termination of employment (or, if different, other benefit plans generally available to senior level executives) for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the termination date, or if earlier, the date on which you become eligible for medical or dental coverage as the case may be from a third party, which period of coverage shall be considered to run concurrently with the COBRA continuation period; provided, however, that during the period that CBS provides you with this coverage, the cost of such coverage will be treated as taxable income to you and CBS may withhold taxes from your compensation for this purpose; provided, further, that you may elect to continue your medical and dental insurance coverage under COBRA at your own expense for the balance, if any, of the period required by law;

(D) Life Insurance: life insurance coverage for thirty-

as of September 29, 2016

Page 32

six (36) months under CBS’s policy in effect on the date of termination in the amount then furnished to CBS employees at no cost (the amount of which coverage will be reduced to the amount of life insurance coverage furnished to you at no cost by a third party employer);

(E) Equity: the following with respect to awards granted to you under the LTIP (or any predecessor plan to the LTIP):

(I) All stock option awards (or portions thereof) that have not vested and become exercisable on the date of such termination shall accelerate and vest immediately on the Release Effective Date (as defined in paragraph 7(j) above), and will continue to be exercisable until their expiration date;

(II) All stock option awards (or portions thereof) that have previously vested and become exercisable by the date of such termination shall remain exercisable until their expiration date; and

(III) With respect to all awards of RSUs and other equity awards (or portions thereof) that have not vested on the date your employment is terminated, such awards shall accelerate and vest immediately on the Release Effective Date and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided, however, that with respect to any RSU and other equity awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on your termination date, in the event and limited to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception is required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such RSU or other equity award under Code Section 162(m), such award shall vest if and to the extent the Committee certifies that the performance goal relating to such award has been met, or, if later, the Release Effective Date, and shall be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided, further, that with respect to any RSU and other equity awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on your termination date, in the event and to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception under Code Section 162(m) is not required in order to ensure the deductibility of any award, such award shall immediately vest (with an assumption that the performance goal was achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) on the Release Effective Date and be settled

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

as of September 29, 2016

Page 33

within ten (10) business days thereafter; provided, further, that to the extent any RSU awards and other equity awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights (or portions thereof) granted prior to the Effective Date constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, then, subject to the requirement that settlement of such awards be delayed until the Permissible Payment Date, such awards shall immediately vest on the Release Effective Date, but settlement of such awards shall occur in accordance with the established vesting and settlement schedule for such awards as though their vesting were not accelerated pursuant to this clause (E)(III).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and determined pursuant to procedures adopted by CBS) at the time of your termination and any portion of your RSU and other equity awards that would otherwise be settled during the six-month period following your termination of employment constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such portion shall instead be settled on the Permissible Payment Date; and

(F) Outplacement Services: CBS will make available to you, at its expense, executive level outplacement services with a leading national outplacement firm, with such outplacement services to be provided for a period of up to twelve (12) months following the date on which your employment is terminated. The outplacement program shall be designed and the outplacement firm selected by CBS. CBS will pay all expenses related to the provision of outplacement services directly to the outplacement firm by the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the outplacement services are provided.

(iii) No Mitigation. You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in paragraph 7(k)(ii) by seeking other employment. The payments provided for in paragraph 7(k)(ii) are in lieu of any other severance or income continuation or protection in this Agreement or in any CBS plan, program or agreement that may now or hereafter exist.

(iv) Death. If you die prior to payment of any amount or benefit described in paragraph 7(k)(ii)(A), (B), (C) or (E) that would have been paid to you had you continued to live, all such amounts and benefits shall be paid, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, to your beneficiary (or, if no beneficiary has been designated, your estate) in accordance with the

applicable payment schedule.

(v) Survival of Provisions. The provisions of this paragraph 7(k) (and any other provision in this Agreement which relates to or is necessary for the enforcement of the parties’ rights under this paragraph 7(k)) shall survive the expiration of the Term of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraphs 6(a) and 6(c) shall apply so long as any payments are due to you pursuant to this paragraph 7(k), even if your termination date occurs following expiration of the Term of this Agreement.

8. No Acceptance of Payments. You represent that you have not accepted or given nor will you accept or give, directly or indirectly, any money, services or other valuable consideration from or to anyone other than CBS for the inclusion of any matter as part of any film, television program or other production produced, distributed and/or developed by CBS, or any of CBS’s affiliated companies.

as of September 29, 2016

Page 35

portion thereof. The parties intend to be bound only upon execution of a written agreement and no negotiation, exchange of draft or partial performance shall be deemed to imply an agreement. Neither the continuation of employment nor any other conduct shall be deemed to imply a continuing agreement upon the expiration of the Term.

14. Void Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to either party or to any circumstances, shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the period or area of application were reduced, then such provision shall apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable, and shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

15. Entire Understanding; Supersedes Prior Agreements. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto as of the time on the Effective Date that the Agreement is signed by both parties relating to the subject matter contained in this Agreement, and can be changed only by a writing signed by both parties.

Neither CBS nor any of its affiliates have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless from any or all such taxes, interest or penalties, or liability for any damages related thereto. You acknowledge that you have been advised to obtain independent legal, tax or other counsel in connection with Code Section 409A.

(b) Your right to any in-kind benefit or reimbursement benefits pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or pursuant to any plan or arrangement of CBS covered by this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for cash or another benefit.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

as of September 29, 2016

Page 36

agree that such disagreement or dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (the “Rules”). Such arbitration shall be confidential and private and conducted in accordance with the Rules. Any such arbitration proceeding shall take place in New York City before a single arbitrator (rather than a panel of arbitrators). The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages and waive, to the full extent permitted by law, any right to recover such damages in such arbitration. Each party shall bear its respective costs (including attorney’s fees, and there shall be no award of attorney’s fees), provided that if you are the prevailing party (as determined by the arbitrator in his or her sole discretion) in a dispute concerning the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement in relation to paragraph 7(k), you shall be entitled to recover all of your costs (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred in connection with such dispute. Following the arbitrator’s issuance of a final non-appealable award setting forth that you are the prevailing party, CBS shall reimburse you for such costs within thirty (30) days following its receipt of reasonable written evidence substantiating such costs, provided that in no event will payment be made to you later than the last day of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the award is issued. If there is a dispute regarding the reasonableness of the costs you incur, the same arbitrator shall determine, in his or her sole discretion, the costs that shall be reimbursed to you by CBS. Judgment upon the final award(s) rendered by such arbitrator, after giving effect to the AAA internal appeals process, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, CBS shall be entitled to seek injunctive, provisional and equitable relief in a court proceeding as a result of your alleged violation of the terms of Section 6 of this Agreement, and you hereby consent and agree to exclusive personal jurisdiction in any state or federal court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan.

18. Limitation on Payments.

(a) In the event that the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement or other payments and benefits payable or provided to you (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this paragraph 18, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then your payments and benefits under this Agreement or other payments or benefits (the “280G Amounts”) will be either:

(i) delivered in full; or

(ii) delivered as to such lesser extent that would result in no portion of the 280G Amounts being subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code;

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

as of September 29, 2016

Page 37

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by you on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount of 280G Amounts, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the 280G Amounts may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.

(b) In the event that a reduction of 280G Amounts is made in accordance with this paragraph 18, the reduction will occur, with respect to the 280G Amounts considered parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, in the following order:

(i) reduction of the accelerated vesting of any stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the then current fair market value;

(ii) reduction of cash payments in reverse chronological order (i.e., the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced);

(iii) cancellation of equity awards other than those described in clause (i) above that were granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (i.e., the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first);

(iv) reduction of the accelerated vesting of equity awards other than those described in clause (i) above in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (i.e., the vesting of the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); and

(v) reduction of employee benefits in reverse chronological order (i.e., the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first benefit to be reduced).

In no event will you have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions.

(c) Unless you and CBS otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this paragraph 18 will be made in writing by a nationally recognized accounting or valuation firm (the “Firm”) selected by CBS, whose

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Page 38

determination will be conclusive and binding upon you and CBS for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this paragraph 18, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. CBS and you will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this paragraph 18. CBS will bear all costs for payment of the Firm’s services in connection with any calculations contemplated by this paragraph 18.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile, and all of the counterparts shall constitute one fully executed agreement. The signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart.
