Purpose

following purposes: (i) assisting the Board by identifying individuals qualified to become Board
members and recommending to the Board director candidates to stand for election at the next
annual meeting of stockholders, (ii) making recommendations to the Board as to the
independence of each director, (iii) monitoring significant developments in the law and practice
of corporate governance and of the duties and responsibilities of directors of public companies,
(iv) leading the Board in its annual performance self-evaluation, including establishing criteria to
be used in connection with such evaluation, (v) developing and making recommendations to the
Board with respect to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and (vi) developing and
recommending items for Board meeting agendas.

Composition

        1.       Members. The Committee shall consist of as many members as the Board, in
                 consultation with the Committee itself, shall determine, but in any event not fewer
                 than three members. The members of the Committee shall be appointed annually
                 by the Board, taking into account the recommendation of the then current
                 Committee members.

        2.       Qualifications. Each member of the Committee shall meet the criteria for
                 independence established by the New York Stock Exchange and as set forth in the
                 Viacom Corporate Governance Guidelines.

        3.       Chair. The Chair of the Committee shall be elected by the Board, taking into
                 account the recommendation of the then current Committee members.

        4.       Removal and Replacement. The members of the Committee may be removed or
                 replaced, and any vacancies on the Committee shall be filled, by the Board, taking
                 into account the recommendation of the then current Committee members.

Operations

        1.       Meetings. The Chair of the Committee, in consultation with the Committee
                 members, shall determine the schedule and frequency of the Committee meetings,
                 provided that the Committee shall meet at least three times per year. In general,
                 directors who are not Committee members may attend meetings of the
                 Committee, except when the Chair of the Committee determines otherwise. The
                 Chair of the Committee shall also determine whether participation in the meeting
                 by teleconference or videoconference will be permitted. The Committee shall
                 periodically meet in executive session without management.

                 the Board and members of management are free to suggest the inclusion of items
                 on the agenda. The agenda and information concerning the business to be
                 conducted at each Committee meeting shall, to the extent practical, be provided to
                 the members of the Committee sufficiently in advance of each meeting to permit
                 meaningful review.

        3.       Report to Board. The Committee shall report regularly to the entire Board and
                 shall submit to the Board the minutes of its meetings.

        4.       Self-Evaluation; Assessment of Charter. The Committee shall conduct an annual
                 performance self-evaluation and shall report to the entire Board the results of the
                 self-evaluation. The Committee shall assess the adequacy of this Charter annually
                 and recommend any changes to the Board.

Authority and Duties

        1.       The Committee shall identify and recommend to the Board candidates for election
                 or re-election to the Board, or for appointment to fill any vacancy that is
                 anticipated or has arisen on the Board, in accordance with the criteria, policies
                 and principles set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and
                 this Charter. The Chair of the Committee, in conjunction with the Executive
                 Chairman and Founder, the Chief Executive Officer and the entire Board, shall
                 extend invitations to join the Board to the selected candidates.

        2.       The Committee shall review qualified candidates for the Board recommended by
                 stockholders. The process for stockholders to submit their recommendations for
                 candidates for the Board will be discussed in the Company’s annual proxy
                 statement.

        3.       The Committee shall review with the Board, on an annual basis, the appropriate
                 size and the current composition of the Board in light of the characteristics of
                 independence, diversity, age, skills, experience, availability of service to the
                 Company and tenure of its members, and of the Board’s anticipated needs. The
                 Committee shall review with the Board the appropriate skills and characteristics
                 required of Board members.

        4.       The Committee shall make recommendations annually to the Board as to the
                 independence of each director.

        5.       The Committee shall, upon a significant change in a director’s personal
                 circumstances (including a change in principal occupation), in the event a
                 significant ongoing time commitment arises that may be inconsistent with a
                 director’s service on the Board or, in the case of an independent director, in the
                 event of a change in circumstances that would result in the director no longer
                 being considered independent, review, as appropriate and in light of the then

(Effective 12/3/08)
current Board policies as reflected in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the
                 continued Board membership of such director.

        6.       The Committee shall review on an annual basis the Board of Directors’ committee
                 structure and recommend to the Board for its approval directors to serve as
                 members and chairs of each committee. The Committee shall recommend
                 additional members to fill vacancies on Board committees as needed.

        7.       The Committee shall advise the Board periodically with respect to significant
                 developments in the law and practice of corporate governance, the role of public
                 company directors, as well as the Company’s compliance with its Corporate
                 Governance Guidelines and applicable laws and regulations, and make
                 recommendations to the Board on all matters of corporate governance and on any
                 action to be taken, as the Committee may deem appropriate.

        8.       The Committee shall review the Corporate Governance Guidelines on a periodic
                 basis and propose modifications for the Board’s consideration as appropriate. The
                 Committee shall also review all proposed changes to each Board committee’s
                 charter.

        9.       The Committee shall review, approve and ratify, as appropriate, transactions
                 involving the Company or its subsidiaries and related persons (as such term is
                 defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) in accordance with written
                 policies and procedures established by the Committee from time to time.

        10.      The Chair of the Committee shall lead the executive sessions of the Board and
                 determine topics of discussion for the executive sessions, in consultation with
                 other members of the Board.

        11.      The Committee shall establish criteria and processes for, and lead the Board in, its
                 annual performance self-evaluation. The Committee shall also establish criteria
                 for the self-evaluations of each committee. The performance self-evaluations will
                 focus on the contribution to the Company by the Board and each committee, and
                 will specifically focus on areas in which a better contribution could be made.

        12.      The Committee shall, on an annual basis, review director compensation and
                 benefits.

        The foregoing list of duties is not exhaustive, and the Committee may, in addition,
perform such other functions as may be necessary or appropriate for the performance of its
oversight function. The Committee has the power to delegate its authority and duties to
subcommittees or individual members of the Committee as it deems appropriate. In discharging
its oversight role, the Committee shall have full access to the Company’s senior management and
employees and all Company books, records and facilities.

       The Committee may retain counsel, search firms to identify director candidates and other
advisors in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have sole authority to retain and terminate

any such advisors and to review and approve the advisors’ fees and other retention terms. The
Company shall provide the funding for any external advisors retained by the Committee.
