NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

WRITTEN CONSENT; AGREEMENT TO VOTE

1.1 Written Consent. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, each Stockholder that as of the date hereof is a record owner of Paramount Class A Shares duly executed and validly delivered to Paramount a written consent in the form attached as Exhibit E to the Transaction Agreement (the “Written Consent”) covering all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares and adopting the Transaction Agreement and approving the Transactions. Each Stockholder (a) acknowledges and agrees that the affirmative vote or approval of the holders of a majority of the Paramount Class A Shares outstanding as of the effective date of the Written Consent in favor of approving the Transaction Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions is necessary to approve the Transaction Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction and, (b) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that the Written Consent may not be revoked, superseded or modified in any way the Written Consent, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 6.2. In the event that the Transaction Agreement is modified or amended in accordance with its terms after the execution of the Written Consent and such modification or amendment is not materially adverse to a Stockholder (in its capacity as such) (it being acknowledged and agreed that neither any increase in the Paramount Merger Consideration nor any modification or amendment agreed to by Skydance and Paramount (acting on the recommendation of the Paramount Special Committee) pursuant to Section 6.6(b) of the Transaction Agreement or Section 6.6(c) of the Transaction Agreement is adverse to any Stockholder), such Stockholder shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) duly execute and validly deliver (or cause the holder of record of its Subject Shares to duly execute and validly deliver) to Skydance and Paramount a modified version of the Written Consent (in a form approved by the Stockholders, Skydance and Paramount (acting upon the recommendation of the Paramount Special Committee), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), covering all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares and adopting the Transaction Agreement (as modified or amended) and approving the Transactions.

1.2 Agreement to Vote. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.2, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Paramount, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of Paramount, such Stockholder shall (or shall cause the holder of record of its Subject Shares to), in each case to the fullest extent that such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) any written consents with respect to, all of its Subject Shares (i) to the extent the Written Consent becomes revoked, superseded or modified in any way, and provided the Transaction Agreement has not been modified or amended in a manner materially adverse to a Stockholder (in its capacity as such), in favor of the adoption

of the Transaction Agreement and the approval of the Transactions and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by Skydance or Paramount (acting upon the recommendation of the Paramount Special Committee) for the timely consummation of the Transactions (it being understood that the terms Transaction Agreement and Transactions shall for purposes of this clause (i) refer to such agreement and transactions as modified or amended); (ii) against any action, agreement or transaction that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII of the Transaction Agreement not being timely satisfied; (iii) against any change in the Paramount Board to elect directors affiliated with the proponent(s) of any Acquisition Proposal; (iv) against any Acquisition Proposal or any other proposal made in opposition to the Transaction Agreement, the Mergers or the Transactions; and (v) against any other action, agreement or transaction involving Paramount that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the Transactions (provided that the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) shall not require the Stockholder to vote against any Acquisition Proposal or any other proposal made in opposition to the Transaction Agreement, the Mergers or the Transactions, if (and only if) Paramount has validly terminated the Transaction Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(f) of the Transaction Agreement). Until the consummation of the Closing, each Stockholder shall (or shall cause the holder of record of its Subject Shares to) (x) retain at all times the right to vote its respective Subject Shares in such Stockholder’s sole discretion on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 1.2 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to Paramount’s stockholders generally and (y) not consent, in its capacity as a stockholder of Paramount, to matters inconsistent with the voting obligations set forth in the preceding clauses (b)(ii) through (b)(v). Except as set forth in this Section 1.2, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any Stockholder to vote in favor of, against or abstain with respect to any matter presented to the stockholders of Paramount.

1.3 Limited Exception. Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 1.2 and Section 5.1(a), in the event that the Paramount Special Committee determines that an Acquisition Proposal made by a third-party person (such person, the “Go-Shop Bidder”) during the Go-Shop Period would constitute a Superior Proposal subject only to the support of the Specified Stockholders in favor of such Acquisition Proposal (“Go-Shop Proposal”), then the Stockholders may execute and deliver to the Go-Shop Bidder and Paramount an Acceptable Voting Agreement in their sole discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acceptable Voting Agreement” means a voting agreement entered into by Paramount, the Go-Shop Bidder and the Stockholders (including the Specified Stockholders) in respect of the Go-Shop Proposal that would become effective with respect to its obligations to support such other transactions and cease supporting the Transactions upon (and only upon) the valid termination of the Transaction Agreement.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS

Each Stockholder represents and warrants, on its own account with respect to the Subject Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder, to Skydance and Paramount as to such Stockholder on a several basis that:

2.1 Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Stockholder has full legal capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement and carry out its obligations hereunder. If the Stockholder

is not a natural person, (a) the Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary entity action on the part of the Stockholder, and no other entity proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to perform such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

2.2 Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder nor the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder (a) require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, filing or registration with, notification or report to, or expiration of waiting periods from, any Governmental Body on the part of the Stockholder, except for compliance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other United States or federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or require any consent, waiver or approval from, or result in a default or loss of a benefit (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration or any event that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a default or give rise to any such right) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or any of its assets may be bound, (c) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any Encumbrance on any assets (including Subject Shares) of the Stockholder (other than one created by Skydance or this Agreement or under applicable securities Laws), or (d) violate any Laws applicable to the Stockholder or by which any of its assets (including Subject Shares) are bound, except as would not, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (d), reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement.

2.3 Ownership of Subject Shares; Total Shares. The Stockholder is, as of the date hereof, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will be, the sole record or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrance, except for (i) any such Encumbrance that may be imposed pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) Transfer (as defined below) restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act or other applicable Laws, and (iii) any Encumbrance disclosed or contemplated in the NAI Stock Purchase Agreement. The number of Paramount Class A Shares set forth next to such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A constitute all of the shares of “voting stock” of Paramount of which such Stockholder is the record or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) as of the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, as of the date hereof, other than the Subject Shares and other than as set forth in filings with the SEC made prior to the date hereof, the Stockholder does not own beneficially or of record, and does not have any right to acquire (whether currently, upon lapse of time, following the satisfaction of any conditions, upon the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing), any Paramount Shares (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for Paramount Shares) or any interest therein.

2.4 Voting Power. The Stockholder has full voting power with respect to all of the Subject Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder, and, other than as disclosed or contemplated in the NAI Stock Purchase Agreement, full power of disposition, full power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein and full power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of its Subject Shares. None of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are subject to any stockholders’ agreement (other than the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar organizational documents of Paramount), proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares, except as provided hereunder. Other than as disclosed or contemplated in the NAI Stock Purchase Agreement, the Stockholder has not entered into any Contract that is inconsistent with, or would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with, the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder.

2.5 Reliance. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that each of Skydance and Paramount is entering into the Transaction Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

2.6 Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Legal Proceeding pending against, or, to the actual knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened in writing against the Stockholder or any of its assets (including Subject Shares ) beneficially or of record owned by the Stockholders before or by any Governmental Body that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the due execution and valid delivery of the Written Consent, as applicable).

2.7 Brokers. No broker, finder, financial advisor, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission, or the reimbursement of expenses, from Paramount, New Paramount or the Merger Subs in connection with this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Stockholder.

2.8 Binding Arrangements. As of immediately prior to the Closing (as defined in the NAI Stock Purchase Agreement), such Stockholder will not have any current plan or binding arrangement in place to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any New Paramount Shares held by the Stockholder at Closing.

6.2 Termination. Upon the valid termination of the Transaction Agreement in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall terminate automatically, without any notice or other action by any Person; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article VI shall survive in full force and effect such termination of this Agreement. Upon the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, Article I through Article V of this Agreement shall terminate automatically, without notice or action by any Person and no Party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under such Articles; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 5.3 the applicable definitions contained or referenced therein shall survive in full force and effect. Nothing set forth in this Section 6.2 shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to termination of any provision hereof.

6.3 Interpretation and Rules of Construction. Section 10.13 of the Transaction Agreement shall apply to, and govern, this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.

6.4 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties shall not object to the court making such determination having the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, enforceable, and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power available to it in the prior sentence, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will most closely achieve the economic, business, and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

6.5 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement, the NAI Stock Purchase Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the NAI Stock Purchase Agreement) and the Transaction Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior and concurrent agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by PDF shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.6 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any such right or obligation without such consent shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

6.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for (1) the rights of the Non-Recourse Parties set forth in Section 6.12 and (2) the rights of New Paramount set forth in Section 5.3.

6.8 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Subject to the following sentence, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other non-monetary equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the Chosen Courts without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement. No Party shall oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid or not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking any injunction or other equitable relief to prevent any breach of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.8 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

6.9 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, Delaware Law, without giving effect to any law, rule, or provision that would cause the application of any Law other than Delaware Law. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) the requirements of 6 Del. C. § 2708 are satisfied by the provisions of this Agreement and that such statute mandates the application of Delaware Law to this Agreement, the relationship of the Parties, the performance by the Parties of their respective obligations hereunder, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of any Party; (ii) the Parties have a reasonable basis for the application of Delaware Law to this Agreement, the relationship of the Parties, the performance by the Parties of their respective obligations hereunder, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of any Party; (iii) no other jurisdiction has a materially greater interest in the foregoing; and (iv) the application of Delaware Law would not be contrary to the fundamental policy of any other jurisdiction that, absent the Parties’ choice of Delaware Law hereunder, would have an interest in the foregoing.

(b) Subject to Section 6.9(a), in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance by the Parties of their respective obligations hereunder, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any other state or federal court in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”); (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction of such Chosen Court by motion, other request for leave, or other Legal Proceeding; (iii) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance by the Parties of their respective obligations hereunder shall be brought, tried, and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (iv) waives any claim of improper venue or any claim that the appropriate Chosen Court is an inconvenient forum; and (v) agrees that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance by the Parties of their respective obligations hereunder hereby in any court or elsewhere other than the Chosen Courts. Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process in the same manner as for the giving of notices under Section 6.1 or any other manner permitted by applicable Law. A final judgment in any Legal Proceeding commenced in accordance with this Section 6.9(b) shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s right to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

6.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE PARTIES’ RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. EACH PARTY HEREBY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.10.

6.11 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment or waiver, as applicable, hereto, signed on behalf of each of the Parties in interest at the time of the amendment or waiver, as applicable. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

6.12 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”) shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants,

agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any Party under this Agreement or of or for any Legal Proceeding based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement shall be sought or had against any Non-Recourse Party.

6.13 Expenses. Unless specified otherwise herein, all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Mergers or any other Transaction is consummated, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

6.14 Further Assurances. Upon the reasonable request of Skydance or Paramount (acting upon the recommendation of the Paramount Special Committee), the Stockholder will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable, to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

6.15 No Agreement Until Executed. This Agreement shall not be effective unless and until this Agreement is executed by all Parties.
