2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

(the "Plan") is to further the long term stability and financial success of

Company Stock will stimulate the efforts of those employees upon whose judgment
and interest the Company is and will be largely dependent for the successful
conduct of its business. It is also believed that Incentive Awards granted to
employees under this Plan will strengthen their desire to remain with the

Award surrendered by a Participant or retained by the Company in payment of
Applicable Withholding Taxes.
5. Eligibility.
(a) All present and future employees of the Company (or any Parent
or Subsidiary of the Company, whether now existing or
hereafter created or acquired) shall be eligible to receive
Incentive Awards under the Plan. The Committee shall have the
power and complete discretion, as provided in Section 14, to
select which employees 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
or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company to pay a
Participant any particular amount of remuneration, to continue
the employment of the Participant after the grant or to make
further grants to the Participant at any time thereafter.
6. Restricted Stock Awards.
(a) Whenever the Committee 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 may be given in writing or in electronic form and
shall be the award agreement between the Company and the
Participant. A Restricted Stock Award may be made by the
Committee 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 employed by the Company
or a Parent or Subsidiary 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 be so employed.
(iv) The Committee may establish such other restrictions
on such shares that the Committee 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 Committee 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 Committee 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.
(f) Each Participant shall agree at the time his Restricted
Stock Award is granted, and as a condition thereof, to pay
to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Company regarding the payment to the Company of, Applicable
Withholding Taxes. Until such amount has been paid or
arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made,
no stock certificates free of a legend reflecting the
restrictions set forth in paragraph (b) above shall be issued
to such Participant. If Restricted Stock is being issued to
a Participant without the use of a stock certificate, the
restrictions set forth in paragraph (b) shall be communicated
to the shareholder in the manner required by law. As an
alternative to making a cash payment to the Company to
satisfy Applicable Withholding Taxes, if the grant so
provides, or the Committee by separate action so permits,
the Participant may elect to (i) deliver Mature Shares or
(ii) have the Company retain that number of shares of Company
Stock that would satisfy all or a specified portion of the
Applicable Withholding Taxes. Any such election shall
be made only in accordance with procedures established
by the Committee. The Committee has the express
authority to change any election procedure it establishes at
any time.
7. Stock Options.
(a) Whenever the Committee deems it appropriate to grant Options,
notice shall be given to the Participant stating the number of
shares for which Options are granted, the Option price per
share, whether the Options are Incentive Stock Options or
Nonstatutory Stock Options, 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
may be given in writing or in electronic form and shall be the
stock option agreement between the Company and the
Participant.
(b) The exercise price of shares of Company Stock covered by an
Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of such shares on the Date of Grant; provided
that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an employee
who, at the time of the grant, is a 10% Shareholder, then the
exercise price of the shares covered by the Incentive Stock
Option shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of
such shares on the Date of Grant.
(c) 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.
(d) Options may be exercised in whole or in part at such times as
may be specified by the Committee in the Participant's stock
option agreement; provided that the exercise provisions for
Incentive Stock Options shall in all events not be more
liberal than the following provisions:
(i) No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the first
to occur of:
(x) Ten years (or, in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option granted to a 10% Shareholder,
five years) from the Date of Grant,
(y) Three months following the date of the
Participant's termination of employment with
the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary of
the Company for reasons other than death or
Disability; or
(z) One year following the date of the
Participant's termination of employment by
reason of death or Disability.
(ii) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph,
no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised unless
the Participant is employed by the Company or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company at the time of
the exercise and has been so employed at all times
since the Date of Grant. If a Participant's
employment is terminated other than by reason of
death or Disability at a time when the Participant
holds an Incentive Stock Option that is exercisable
(in whole or in part), the Participant may exercise
any or all of the then exercisable portion of the
Incentive Stock Option (to the extent exercisable
on the date of termination) within three months after
the Participant's termination of employment. If a
Participant's employment is terminated by reason of
his Disability at a time when the Participant holds
an Incentive Stock Option that is exercisable (in
whole or in part), the Participant may exercise
any or all of the then exercisable portion of the
Incentive Stock Option (to the extent exercisable
on the date of Disability) within one year after the
Participant's termination of employment. If a
Participant's employment is terminated by reason
of his death at a time when the Participant holds
an Incentive Stock Option that is exercisable (in
whole or in part), the then exercisable portion of
the Incentive Stock Option may be exercised (to the
extent exercisable on the date of death) within one
year after the Participant's death by the person to
whom the Participant's rights under the Incentive
Stock Option shall have passed by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution.
(iii) An Incentive Stock Option, by its terms, shall be
exercisable in any calendar year only to the extent
that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined
at the Date of Grant) of the Company Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time during the calendar
year does not exceed $100,000 (the "Limitation
Amount"). Incentive Stock Options granted under
the Plan and all other plans of the Company and any
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company shall be
aggregated for purposes of determining whether the
Limitation Amount has been exceeded. The Committee
may impose such conditions as it deems appropriate
on an Incentive Stock Option to ensure that the
foregoing requirement is met. If Incentive Stock
Options that first become exercisable in a calendar
year exceed the Limitation Amount, the excess Options
will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options to the
extent permitted by law.
(e) The Committee 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, and, in such event, paragraph (e)
shall not apply.
8. Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) Whenever the Committee deems it appropriate, Stock
Appreciation Rights may be granted in connection with all or
any part of an Option, either concurrently with the grant of
the Option or, if the Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option,
by an amendment to the Option at any time thereafter during
the term of the Option. Stock Appreciation Rights may be
exercised in whole or in part at such times and under such
conditions as may be specified by the Committee in the
Participant's stock option agreement. The following provisions
apply to all Stock Appreciation Rights that are granted in
connection with Options:
(i) Stock Appreciation Rights shall entitle the
Participant, upon exercise of all or any part of the
Stock Appreciation Rights, to surrender to the
Company unexercised that portion of the underlying
Option relating to the same number of shares of
Company Stock as is covered by the Stock Appreciation
Rights (or the portion of the Stock Appreciation
Rights so exercised) and to receive in exchange
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 surrendered portion
of the underlying Option over (y) the exercise price
of the Company Stock covered by the surrendered
portion of the underlying Option. The Committee may
limit the amount that the Participant will be
entitled to receive upon exercise of the Stock
Appreciation Right.
(ii) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right and
surrender of the related portion of the underlying
Option, the Option, to the extent surrendered, shall
not thereafter be exercisable.
(iii) The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock
Appreciation Rights in connection with Options which
by their terms become fully exercisable upon a Change
of Control, which Stock Appreciation Rights shall
only be exercisable following a Change of Control.
The underlying Option may provide that such Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be payable solely in cash.
The terms of the underlying Option shall provide the
method by which Fair Market Value of the Company
Stock on the date of exercise shall be calculated
based on one of the following alternatives:
(x) the closing price of the Company Stock on
the exchange on which it is then traded on
the business day immediately preceding the
day of exercise;
(y) the highest closing price of the Company
Stock on the exchange on which it is then
traded, during the 90 days immediately
preceding the Change of Control; or
(z) the greater of (x) or (y).
(iv) Subject to any further conditions upon exercise
imposed by the Committee, a Stock Appreciation Right
shall be exercisable only to the extent that the
related Option is exercisable, and shall expire no
later than the date on which the related Option
expires.
(v) A Stock Appreciation Right may only be exercised at a
time when the Fair Market Value of the Company Stock
covered by the Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the
exercise price of the Company Stock covered by the
underlying Option.
(b) Whenever the Committee deems it appropriate, Stock
Appreciation Rights may be granted without related Options.
The terms and conditions of the award shall be set forth in a
Stock Appreciation Rights agreement between the Company and
the Participant in written or electronic form. The following
provisions apply to all Stock Appreciation Rights that are
granted without related Options:
(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 surrendered 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 Committee 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 Committee
shall specify in the Participant's Stock Appreciation
Rights agreement.
(c) 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 Committee and shall be set forth in the
Participant's stock option agreement (if the Stock
Appreciation Rights are related to an Option) or Stock
Appreciation Rights agreement. The Committee may provide
for payment in Company Stock or cash, or a fixed combination
of Company Stock or cash, or the Committee 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. Method of Exercise Of Options And Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by the
Participant by 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, or the Committee by separate action so permits,
the Participant may (i) deliver Mature Shares (valued
at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise)
in satisfaction of all or any part of the exercise price,
(ii) deliver a properly executed exercise notice together
with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly
to the Company, from the sale or loan proceeds with respect
to the sale of Company Stock or a loan secured by Company
Stock, the amount necessary to pay the exercise price and,
if required by the Committee, Applicable Withholding Taxes,
or (iii) deliver an interest bearing promissory note, payable
to the Company, in payment of all or part of the exercise
price together with such collateral as may be required by
the Committee at the time of exercise. The interest rate
under any such promissory note shall be equal to the minimum
interest rate required at the time to avoid imputed interest
under the Code. 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
Committee prior to exercise of the Option.
(b) The Company may place on any certificate representing Company
Stock issued upon the exercise of an Option or a Stock
Appreciation Right any legend deemed desirable by the
Company's counsel to comply with federal or state securities
laws, and the Company may require of the participant a
customary written indication of his investment intent. Until
the Participant has made any required payment, including any
Applicable Withholding Taxes, 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) Each Participant shall agree as a condition of the exercise of
an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right to pay to the Company
Applicable Withholding Taxes, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment to the
Company of such amounts. Until Applicable Withholding Taxes
have been paid or arrangements satisfactory to the Company
have been made, no stock certificate shall be issued upon the
exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right.
As an alternative to making a cash payment to the Company to satisfy Applicable
Withholding Taxes if the Option or Stock Appreciation Rights agreement so
provides, or the Committee by separate action so provides, a Participant may
elect to (i) deliver Mature Shares or (ii) have the Company retain that number
of shares of Company Stock that would satisfy all or a specified portion of the
Applicable Withholding Taxes. Any such election shall be made only in accordance
with procedures established by the Committee.
(d) 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.
(e) If a Participant exercises an Option that has a Reload Feature
by delivering Mature Shares in payment of the exercise price,
the Participant shall automatically be granted a Reload
Option. At the time the Option with a Reload Feature is
awarded, the Committee may impose such restrictions on the
Reload Option as it deems appropriate, but in any event the
Reload Option shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(i) The exercise price of shares of Company Stock covered
by a Reload Option shall be not less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of such shares on the Date of Grant
of the Reload Option;
(ii) If and to the extent required by Rule 16b-3, or if so
provided in the Option agreement, a Reload Option
shall not be exercisable within the first six months
after it is granted; provided that, subject to the
terms of the Participant's stock option agreement,
this restriction shall not apply if the Participant
becomes Disabled or dies during the six-month period;
(iii) The Reload Option shall be subject to the same
restrictions on exercisability imposed on the
underlying Option (possessing the Reload Feature)
that was exercised unless the Committee specifies
different limitations;
(iv) The Reload Option shall not be exercisable until the
expiration of any retention holding period imposed on
the disposition of any shares of Company Stock
covered by the underlying Option (possessing the
Reload Feature) that was exercised; and
(v) The Reload Option shall not have a Reload Feature.
10. Nontransferability of Incentive Awards. Incentive Awards shall not be
transferable unless so provided in the award agreement or an amendment to the
award agreement. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights which are intended to be
exempt under Rule 16b-3 (to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 at the time of
grant or amendment of the award agreement), by their terms, shall not be
transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only
by the Participant or by his guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for
transferability of particular Incentive Awards so long as such transferability
will not disqualify the exemption under Rule 16b-3 for other Incentive Awards.
11. 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 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. 1988 Stock Incentive Plan and the Circuit City Stores,
Inc. 1994 Stock Incentive Plan with respect to employees of
the Company or otherwise, to the extent provided in an
agreement between the Company and Circuit City Stores, Inc.
12. 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 date of 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, if and to the
extent required by the Code or Rule 16b-3, 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
13), expands the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Awards,
materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or
permits 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 and to cause Incentive Awards to meet the
requirements of the Code, including Code sections 162(m) and 422, and
regulations thereunder. 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.
13. Change in Capital Structure.
(a) In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination
of shares, recapitalization, merger in which the Company
is the surviving corporation, reorganization, reincorporation,
consolidation, or other change in the Company's capital
stock without the receipt of consideration by the Company
(including, but not limited to, the creation or issuance
to shareholders generally of rights, options or warrants
for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock of the
Company), the number and kind of shares of stock or securities
of the Company to be subject to the Plan and to Incentive
Awards then outstanding or to be granted thereunder, the
aggregate and individual maximum number of shares or
securities which may be delivered under the Plan pursuant
to Section 4, and the exercise price and other terms and
relevant provisions of Incentive Awards shall be appropriately
adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be
binding on all persons. If the adjustment would produce
fractional shares with respect to any Restricted Stock or
unexercised Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee
may adjust appropriately the number of shares covered by
the Incentive Award 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 Committee may take such actions with
respect to outstanding Incentive Awards as the Committee deems
appropriate.
(c) Any determination made or action taken under this Section 13
by the Committee shall be final and conclusive and may be made
or taken without the consent of any Participant.
14. Administration Of The Plan. The Plan shall be administered by a
Committee, which shall be appointed by the Board, consisting of not less than
three members of the Board. Subject to paragraph (e) below, the Committee shall
be the Compensation Committee of the Board unless the Board shall appoint
another Committee to administer the Plan. The Committee shall have general
authority to impose any limitation or condition upon an Incentive Award that the
Committee 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 Committee shall have the power and complete discretion
to determine (i) which eligible employees 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) whether Options shall be Incentive
Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, (iv) when,
whether and to what extent Stock Appreciation Rights shall
be granted in connection with Options, (v) the Fair
Market Value of Company Stock, (vi) the time or times when
an Incentive Award shall be granted, (vii) whether an
Incentive Award shall become vested over a period of time
and when it shall be fully vested, (viii) when Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised, (ix) whether a
Disability exists, (x) the manner in which payment will be
made upon the exercise of Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights, (xi) conditions relating to the length of time before
disposition of Company Stock received upon the exercise of
Options or Stock Appreciation Rights is permitted,
(xii) whether to approve a Participant's election (A) to
deliver Mature Shares to satisfy Applicable Withholding
Taxes or (B) to have the Company withhold from the shares
to be issued upon the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock
Option or a Stock Appreciation Right the number of shares
necessary to satisfy Applicable Withholding Taxes
(xiii) the terms and conditions applicable to Restricted
Stock Awards, (xiv) the terms and conditions on which
restrictions upon Restricted Stock shall lapse, (xv) whether
to accelerate the time at which any or all restrictions
with respect to Restricted Stock will lapse or be removed,
(xvi) notice provisions relating to the sale of Company
Stock acquired under the Plan, and (xvii) any additional
requirements relating to Incentive Awards that the
Committee deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
"tandem stock options" (where two stock options are issued
together and the exercise of one option affects the right to
exercise the other option) may be issued in connection with
Incentive Stock Options. The Committee 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 or any requirement of the Code
applicable to the Incentive Award.
(b) The Committee may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out
the Plan. The interpretation and construction of any provision
of the Plan by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.
The Committee 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 Committee shall constitute a
quorum, and all actions of the Committee 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.
(d) The Board from time to time may appoint members previously
appointed and may fill vacancies, however caused, in the
Committee. If a Committee of the Board is appointed to serve
as the Committee, such Committee shall have, in connection
with the administration of the Plan, the powers possessed by
the Board, including the power to delegate a subcommittee of
the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to
exercise, subject, however, to such resolutions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be
adopted from time to time by the Board.
(e) All members of the Committee must be "outside directors" as
described in Code section 162(m). In addition, all members of
the Committee must be "non-employee directors" as defined in
Rule 16b-3.
15. Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be
given under this Plan shall 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.
16. Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of,
or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Company
Stock subject to an Incentive Award unless and until such Participation has
satisfied all requirements under the terms of the Incentive Award.
17. No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any
instrument executed or Incentive Award granted under the Plan shall confer upon
any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company (or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company) in the capacity in effect at the time the Incentive
Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company (or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company) to terminate the employment of a Participant with or
without notice and with or without cause.
18. Interpretation. The terms of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of
the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict of law provisions at
any jurisdiction. The terms of this Plan are subject to all present and future
regulations and rulings of the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate
relating to the qualification of Incentive Stock Options under the Code. If any
provision of the Plan conflicts with any such regulation or ruling, then that
provision of the Plan shall be void and of no effect. As to all Incentive Stock
Options and all Nonstatutory Stock Options with an exercise price of at least
100% of Fair Market Value of the Company Stock on the Date of Grant, this Plan
shall be interpreted for such Options to be excluded from applicable employee
remuneration for purposes of Code section 162(m).
IN WITNESS HEREOF, this instrument has been executed this 1ST day of
November, 2004.
