Well, while Paramount is probably happy to be rid of the deal for financial terms (as Alex said), I have no doubt that they're happy to have him off their hands for other reasons as well.

These other reasons probably have nothing to do with his couch jumping and crazy, crazy eyes.

During the filming of-- I can't remember if it was MI III or War of the Worlds--Cruise had an item in his contract that allowed him to set up a Scientology booth on-set and solicit the production staff/cast/etc. Also, his contract once included requiring all producers to take a tour of the Scientology facilities with him. That would make me want to shake him loose even if financial dealings were fine.
