(a) Each director of the Company who is not a full-time employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company shall be eligible to receive Incentive Awards under the Plan. The Board shall have the power and complete discretion, as provided in Section 15, to select which directors shall receive Incentive Awards and to determine for each such Participant the terms and conditions, the nature of the award and the number of shares to be allocated to each Participant as part of each Incentive Award.

(b) The grant of an Incentive Award shall not obligate the Company to pay a Participant any particular amount of remuneration or to make further grants to the Participant at any time thereafter.

6. Restricted Stock Awards. 

(a) Whenever the Board deems it appropriate to grant a Restricted Stock Award, notice shall be given to the Participant stating the number of shares of Restricted Stock for which the Restricted Stock Award is granted and the terms and conditions to which the Restricted Stock Award is subject. This notice shall become an award agreement between the Company and the Participant. A Restricted Stock Award may be made by the Board in its discretion without cash consideration.

(b) Restricted Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(i) None of such shares may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until the restrictions on such shares shall have lapsed or shall have been removed pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) below.

(ii) The restrictions on such shares must remain in effect and may not lapse for a period of three years beginning on the date of grant, except as provided under paragraph (d) or (e) in the case of Disability, retirement, death or a Change in Control.

(iii) If a Participant ceases to be a director of the Company, the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions on which shall not have lapsed or shall not have been removed pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) below, on the date such Participant shall cease to serve as a member of the Board.

(iv) The Board may establish such other restrictions on such shares that the Board deems appropriate, including, without limitation, events of forfeiture.

(c) Upon the acceptance by a Participant of a Restricted Stock Award, such Participant shall, subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (b) above, have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Award, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such shares of Restricted Stock and the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid thereon. Certificates representing Restricted Stock shall

bear a legend referring to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and the Participant’s award agreement. If shares of Restricted Stock are issued without certificates, notice of the restrictions set forth in the Plan and the Participant’s Award Agreement must be given to the shareholder in the manner required by law.

(d) The Board shall establish as to each Restricted Stock Award the terms and conditions upon which the restrictions set forth in paragraph (b) above shall lapse. Such terms and conditions may include, without limitation, the lapsing of such restrictions as a result of the Disability, death or retirement of the Participant or the occurrence of a Change of Control.

(e) Notwithstanding the forfeiture provisions of paragraph (b)(iii) above, the Board may at any time, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which any or all restrictions will lapse or remove any and all such restrictions.

7. Stock Options. 

(a) Whenever the Board deems it appropriate to grant Options, notice shall be given to the eligible non-employee director stating the number of shares for which Options are granted, the Option price per share, the extent, if any, to which Stock Appreciation Rights are granted, and the conditions to which the grant and exercise of the Options are subject. This notice shall become a stock option agreement between the Company and the eligible non-employee director.

(b) The exercise price of shares of Company Stock covered by a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares on the Date of Grant.

(c) Options may be exercised in whole or in part at such times as may be specified by the Board in the Participant’s stock option agreement.

(d) The Board may, in its discretion, grant Options that by their terms become fully exercisable upon a Change of Control notwithstanding other conditions on exercisability in the stock option agreement.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights. 

(a) Whenever the Board deems it appropriate, Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted. The terms and conditions of the award shall be set forth in a stock appreciation rights agreement between the Company and the Participant. The following provisions apply to all Stock Appreciation Rights that are granted:

(i) Stock Appreciation Rights shall entitle the Participant, upon the exercise of all or any part of the Stock Appreciation Rights, to receive from the Company an amount equal to the excess of (x) the fair market value on the date of exercise of the Company Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Rights over (y) the fair market value on the Date of Grant of the Company Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Rights. The Board may limit the amount that the Participant may be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

(ii) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at such times as the Board shall specify in the Participant’s stock appreciation rights agreement.

(b) The manner in which the Company’s obligation arising upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be paid shall be determined by the Board and shall be set forth in the Participant’s stock appreciation rights agreement. The Board may provide for payment in Company Stock or cash, or a fixed combination of Company Stock or cash, or the Board may reserve the right to determine the manner of payment at the time the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. Shares of Company Stock issued upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

9. Stock Grants. 

(a) Whenever the Board deems it appropriate, a Stock Grant may be made to eligible non-employee directors. The Board shall have complete discretion to make such Stock Grants and may do so whenever it considers it appropriate.

(b) Whenever the Board deems it appropriate, it may permit eligible non-employee directors to elect to receive a Stock Grant in lieu of retainer, meeting fees or other such fees to which such directors would otherwise be entitled. The Company Stock to be issued in connection with such a Stock Grant shall have a Fair Market Value equal to such fees otherwise payable, determined as of the date on which such payment of fees would otherwise become payable to such member of the Board.

10. Method of Exercise of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. 

(a) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by the Participant giving notice of the exercise to the Company, stating the number of shares the Participant has elected to purchase under the Option or the number of Stock Appreciation Rights he has elected to exercise. In the case of a purchase of shares under an Option, such notice shall be effective only if accompanied by the exercise price in full paid in cash; provided that, if the terms of an Option so permit, the Participant may: (i) deliver shares of Participant-owned Company Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise) in satisfaction of all or any part of the exercise price; or (ii) to the extent permitted under applicable laws and regulations, deliver a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to exercise all or part of the Option, sell a sufficient number of shares of Company Stock to cover the exercise price and other costs and expenses associated with such sale and deliver promptly the amount necessary to pay the exercise price. The Participant shall not be entitled to make payment of the exercise price other than in cash unless provisions for an alternative payment method are included in the Participant’s stock option agreement or are agreed to in writing by the Company with the approval of the Board prior to exercise of the Option.

(b) Until the Participant has made any required payment, and has had issued to him a certificate for the shares of Company Stock acquired, he shall possess no shareholder rights with respect to the shares.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company is subject to section 16 of the Act, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall always be granted and exercised in such a manner as to conform to the provisions of Rule 16b-3.

(d) Any shares of already owned Company Stock that are delivered by a Participant in satisfaction of all or any part of the exercise price of an Option shall be of the same series of Company Stock as the shares of Company Stock to which such Incentive Award relates.

11. Transferability of Incentive Awards. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be transferable by a Participant and exercisable by a person other than the Participant, but only to the extent specifically provided in the Incentive Award; provided, however, that no transfer for value or consideration will be permitted without the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders.

12. Effective Date of the Plan and Transition. 

(a) This Plan shall be effective as of the date of separation between the Company and Circuit City Stores, Inc., and shall be submitted to the shareholders of Circuit City Stores, Inc. for approval prior to the separation. No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable and no Company Stock shall be issued under the Plan until (i) the Plan has been approved by the Company’s shareholders, (ii) shares issuable under the Plan have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and accepted for listing on the New York Stock Exchange upon notice of issuance, and (iii) the requirements of any applicable state securities laws have been met.

(b) As of the date of separation between the Company and Circuit City Stores, Inc., this Plan shall assume obligations, including outstanding awards, from the Circuit City Stores, Inc. Amended And Restated 1989 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, to the extent provided in an agreement between the Company and Circuit City Stores, Inc.

13. Termination, Modification, Change. If not sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the separation between the Company and Circuit City Stores, Inc. No Incentive Awards shall be granted under the Plan after its termination. The Board may terminate the Plan or may amend the Plan in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided that no change shall be made that increases the total number of shares of Company Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to Incentive Awards granted under the Plan (except pursuant to Section 14) or permit repricing of options, unless such change is authorized by the shareholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may unilaterally amend the Plan and Incentive Awards as it deems appropriate to ensure compliance with Rule 16b-3. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, a termination or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, adversely affect a Participant’s rights under an Incentive Award previously granted to him.

14. Change in Capital Structure. 

(a) The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, the terms of Incentive Awards, and all computations under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board should the Company effect one or more stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions or consolidations of shares, or other similar changes in capitalization, or if the par value of Company Stock is altered; provided, however, that no adjustment of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be made that would create a deferral of income or a modification, extension or renewal of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right under Code Section 409A except as may be permitted in applicable Treasury Regulations. If the adjustment would produce fractional shares with respect to any unexercised Option, the Board may adjust appropriately the number of shares covered by the Option so as to eliminate the fractional shares.

(b) If the Company is a party to a consolidation or merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, a transaction that results in the acquisition of substantially all of the Company’s outstanding stock by a single person or entity, or a sale or transfer of substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Board may take such actions with respect to outstanding Incentive Awards as the Board deems appropriate.

(c) Any determination made or action taken under this Section 14 by the Board shall be final and conclusive and may be made or taken without the consent of any Participant.

15. Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board shall have general authority to impose any limitation or condition upon an Incentive Award that the Board deems appropriate to achieve the objectives of the Incentive Award and the Plan and, without limitation and in addition to powers set forth elsewhere in the Plan, shall have the following specific authority:

(a) The Board shall have the power and complete discretion to determine (i) which eligible non-employee directors shall receive an Incentive Award and the nature of the Incentive Award, (ii) the number of shares of Company Stock to be covered by each Incentive Award, (iii) when, whether and to what extent Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted, (iv) the fair market value of Company Stock, (v) the time or times when an Incentive Award shall be granted, (vi) whether an Incentive Award shall become vested over a period of time and when it shall be fully vested, (vii) when Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised, (viii) whether a Disability exists, (ix) the manner in which payment will be made upon the exercise of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, (x) conditions relating to the length of time before disposition of Company Stock received upon the exercise of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights is permitted, (xi) the terms and conditions applicable to Restricted Stock Awards, (xii) the terms and conditions on which restrictions upon Restricted Stock shall lapse, (xiii) whether to accelerate the time at which any or all restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock will lapse or be removed, (xiv) notice provisions relating to the sale of Company Stock acquired under the Plan, and (xv) any additional requirements relating to Incentive Awards that the Board deems appropriate. The Board shall have the power to amend the terms of previously granted Incentive Awards so long as the terms as amended are consistent with the terms of the Plan and provided that the consent

of the Participant is obtained with respect to any amendment that would be detrimental to the Participant, except that such consent will not be required if such amendment is for the purpose of complying with Rule 16b-3.

(b) The Board may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan. The interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan by the Board shall be final and conclusive. The Board may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Company, and shall not incur any liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance upon the advice of counsel.

(c) A majority of the members of the Board shall constitute a quorum, and all actions of the Board shall be taken by a majority of the members present. Any action may be taken by a written instrument signed by all of the members, and any action so taken shall be fully effective as if it had been taken at a meeting.

16. Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Plan may be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or mailed first class, postage prepaid, as follows: (a) If to the Company—at its principal business address to the attention of the Secretary; (b) If to any Participant—at the last address of the Participant known to the sender at the time the notice or other communication is sent.

17. Miscellaneous. By accepting any Incentive Award under the Plan, each Participant, and each person claiming under or through such person, shall be conclusively deemed to have given his or her acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken with respect thereto by the Company or the Board.
