NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Executive’s recent appointment as the Company’s Senior Vice President and CIO, and of the premises, mutual covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

In his capacity as Senior Vice President and CIO of the Company, the Executive shall report directly to the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer (“CAO”) and shall have the duties and responsibilities of Senior Vice President and CIO of the Company and such other duties and responsibilities not inconsistent with the performance of his duties as Senior Vice

President and CIO of the Company. The Executive’s principal work location shall be the corporate headquarters of the Company located in the Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area.

Article 3. Standard of Care

3.1 General. During the Term, the Executive shall devote his full business time, attention, knowledge and skills to the Company’s business and interests. The Executive covenants, warrants, and represents that he shall:

3.2 Forfeiture and Return of Incentive Compensation. It is the Company’s expectation that the Executive will discharge his duties hereunder with utmost attention to the standards set forth in Section 3.1. In the event the CarMax, Inc. Board of Directors (“Board”) determines that the Executive has engaged in conduct constituting Cause (as defined in Section 7.6(a)), which conduct directly results in the filing of a restatement of any financial statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or other governmental agency) under the Federal securities laws, the Executive shall immediately (a) forfeit all unpaid Affected Compensation (as defined below) and (b) upon demand by the Company repay to the Company all Affected Compensation received or realized by the Executive together with interest at the prime rate in effect from time to time as reported in The Wall Street Journal; provided, however, that the forfeiture and repayment provisions of this Section 3.2 shall not apply to conduct constituting “gross negligence” under Section 7.6(a)(ii) or to conduct under Section 7.6(a)(iii), Section 7.6(a)(vii) or Section 7.6(a)(viii). “Affected Compensation” means any payment to the Executive, any award or vesting of any equity or other short-term or long-term incentive compensation to the Executive, or any before-tax proceeds of a sale of previously awarded equity compensation realized by the Executive, in any instance in which (i) the payment, award or vesting of the foregoing was expressly conditioned upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of such restatement, and (ii) a lesser amount of payment, award or vesting or before-tax proceeds of a sale of any of the foregoing would have been made to, vested in or otherwise earned or realized by, the Executive based upon such restated financial results.

Article 4. Other Activities

During the Term, the Executive shall comply with the provisions of Article 8 herein. Furthermore, during his employment, the Executive agrees to obtain the written consent of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) before entering into any other

occupation, even if dissimilar to that of the Company, including, without limitation, service as a member of a board of directors of one or more other companies. Such consent may be granted or withheld, in the CEO’s sole discretion. The Executive may participate on charitable and civic boards, and in educational, professional, community and industry affairs, without CEO consent, provided that such participation does not interfere with the performance of his duties.

Article 5. Compensation and Benefits

As remuneration for all services to be rendered by the Executive during the Term, and as consideration for complying with the covenants herein during and after the termination or expiration of the Term, the Company shall pay and provide to the Executive the following compensation and benefits:

5.1 Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary (“Base Salary”) in an amount established and approved by the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”); provided, however, that such Base Salary shall be established at a rate of not less than $300,000.00 per year, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1 below. This Base Salary shall be subject to all appropriate federal and state withholding taxes and payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company. The Compensation Committee shall review and adjust the Base Salary as it deems appropriate at least annually during the Term; provided, however, that the Executive’s Base Salary shall not be decreased without the Executive’s written consent, other than across-the-board reductions applicable to all senior officers of the Company. If adjusted, the Base Salary shall be so adjusted for all purposes of this Agreement.

5.2 Annual Bonus. In addition to his Base Salary, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s Annual Performance-Based Bonus Plan (“Annual Bonus Plan”), as such Annual Bonus Plan may exist from time to time during the Term. Under the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan, the Executive has the opportunity to earn an annual bonus with respect to any fiscal year of the Company (“Annual Bonus”). The Annual Bonus will be determined by a formula approved each fiscal year by the Compensation Committee (the “Annual Bonus Formula”) in its sole discretion. At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee will authorize, in accordance with the Annual Bonus Plan, the Executive’s Annual Bonus for that fiscal year, which shall be targeted at forty percent (40%) of the Executive’s Base Salary for that fiscal year (“Target Bonus Rate”). The specified Target Bonus Rate may be increased from time to time by the Compensation Committee but shall not be decreased without the Executive’s written consent. Depending upon the actual financial performance recorded by the Company for any given fiscal year, the Executive’s Annual Bonus may be increased or decreased solely in accordance with the Annual Bonus Formula and otherwise in accordance with the Annual Bonus Plan.

5.3 Long-Term Incentives. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (or any successor incentive plan thereto), to the extent that the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines is appropriate. The Compensation Committee will make its determination consistent with the methodology used by the Company for compensating the Executive’s peer executives. Additionally, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all other incentive

plans, whether equity-based or cash-based, applicable generally to his peer executives within the Company.

5.4 Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans.

During the Term, the Executive and the Executive’s family will be entitled to participate in all welfare benefit plans, policies and programs, including those defined under Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, provided by the Company to his peer executives within the Company, subject to the eligibility requirements and other provisions of such plans, policies and programs.

5.6 Fringe Benefits. During the Term, the Executive will be entitled to fringe benefits in accordance with the plans, policies and programs of the Company in effect for his peer executives within the Company.

5.7 Vacation. During the Term, the Executive will be entitled to participate in the Company’s Time Away paid time off program for salaried employees (or successor paid time off program) as that program is administered by the Company and as it may be amended or modified from time to time; provided, in all events, the Executive will be entitled to not less than 30 days of paid vacation each fiscal year.

5.8 Right to Change Plans. By reason of Sections 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 herein, the Company shall not be obligated to institute, maintain, or refrain from changing, amending, or discontinuing any benefit plan, policy or program, so long as such changes are similarly applicable to the Executive’s peer executives.

Article 6. Expenses

During the Term, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all ordinary and necessary expenses, in a reasonable amount, that the Executive incurs in performing his duties under this Agreement including, but not limited to, travel, entertainment, professional dues and subscriptions, and all dues, fees, and expenses associated with membership in various professional, business, and civic associations and societies in which the Company finds that the Executive’s participation is in the best interests of the Company.

The Board shall review the foregoing information and shall determine in good faith if the Executive is Disabled. The Board’s decision shall be binding on the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive incurs a physical or mental illness or injury that does not constitute a Disability, such physical or mental illness or injury shall not constitute a failure by the Executive to perform his duties hereunder and shall not be deemed a breach or default of this Agreement by the Executive.

The Accrued Obligations provided under Section 7.2(b)(i) and (ii) and the Pro Rata Target Bonus shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days after the Date of Termination or as soon as practicable thereafter.

The Company shall also pay the Executive any compensation previously deferred by the Executive by his own election and all

other employee welfare and retirement benefits to which the Executive is entitled on the Date of Termination, all in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan or plans under which they are due. In the event of the Executive’s voluntary termination of employment without Good Reason, the terms and conditions of the awards and agreements applicable to the Executive’s outstanding stock options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights, performance-based grants, and all other forms of long-term incentive compensation, regardless of whether such compensation is equity or cash based, will govern the consequences of the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 7.4.

If the Executive elects COBRA coverage, the Executive shall be responsible for remitting the COBRA premium to the Company (or to a COBRA administrator designated by the Company) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s health, dental and vision plans and applicable COBRA requirements. If the Executive elects COBRA coverage, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for a portion of the cost of such coverage until the end of the COBRA coverage period, up to a maximum period of eighteen (18) months.

(v) The terms and conditions of the awards and agreements applicable to the Executive’s outstanding stock options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights, performance-based grants, and all other forms of long-term incentive compensation, regardless of whether such compensation is equity or cash based, will govern the consequences of the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 7.5.

(b) Amounts payable under this Section 7.5 shall be in lieu of any amounts otherwise payable under any severance plan or agreement covering senior officers of the Company.

(c) In the event that the Company terminates the Executive’s employment at any time for any reason (i) other than for Cause and other than due to Disability and (ii) after the Executive has attained age 65 of higher, such termination shall not be deemed an Involuntary Termination Without Cause.

Article 8. Covenant Not to Compete; Intellectual Property

8.1 Acknowledgement and Agreement Regarding Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) The Executive acknowledges and agrees as follows: (i) the Company operates a unique business concept in the United States regarding the sale and servicing of new and used vehicles in a highly competitive industry; (ii) the Company’s competitors have attempted to duplicate the Company’s business concept in various markets throughout the United States, including markets where the Company does not currently have a business location, and may continue to do so; and (iii) in connection with the Executive’s employment, he will receive access to, and training regarding, the Company’s business concept and will, accordingly, acquire commercially valuable knowledge of, and insight into, the Company’s operations and its proprietary and confidential information, any of which if made available to the Company’s competitors could place the Company at an unfair competitive disadvantage.

(b) The Executive and the Company acknowledge that the Executive’s services are of a special, extraordinary, and intellectual character that gives the Executive unique value, that the Company’s business is highly competitive, and that violation of the Covenant Not to Compete (as defined in Section 8.2 below) provided herein would cause immediate, immeasurable, and irreparable harm, loss, and damage to the Company not adequately compensable by a monetary award. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the Covenant Not to Compete, the Company shall be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available to restrain the Executive from violating the provisions hereof. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages and the immediate termination of the employment of the Executive hereunder for Cause.

(c) The Executive and the Company have examined in detail the Covenant Not to Compete contained herein and agree that the restraint imposed upon the Executive is reasonable in light of the legitimate business interests of the Company and is not unduly harsh upon the Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood. If any provision of the Covenant Not to Compete relating to the time period, geographic area or scope of restricted activities shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period, geographic area or scope of activities, as applicable, that such court deems reasonable and enforceable, such time period, geographic area or scope of activities shall be deemed to be, and thereafter shall become, the maximum time period or largest geographic area or scope of activities that such

court deems reasonable and enforceable and this Agreement shall automatically be considered to have been amended and revised to reflect such determination.

8.2 Covenant Not to Compete. In order to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests from competitors and to protect the Company’s critical interest in its proprietary and confidential information, and in return for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, the Executive covenants and agrees to the following “Covenant Not to Compete”:

(a) During the Executive’s employment and for a period of two (2) years following the last day of the Executive’s employment, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, compete with the Company by acting “in a competitive capacity” (as defined in Section 8.2(c)), whether as an individual, partner, or joint venturer, for, or on behalf of, any person or entity operating or developing the same or similar business as the Company within any Metropolitan Statistical Area (as defined under applicable regulations of the Census Bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce) in which the Company has a business location or in which the Company is engaged in real estate site selection.

8.3 Intellectual Property. The Executive understands and acknowledges that any writing, invention, design, system, process, development or discovery (collectively, "Intellectual Property") conceived, developed created or made by the Executive, alone or with others, both during the Term of this Agreement and in the course of the Executive’s employment prior to the Term, is the sole and exclusive property of the Company to the extent such Intellectual Property is related to the Executive's duties or is within the scope of the Company's actual or anticipated business.

Article 11. Change in Control; Sale of Assets

11.1 Purpose. The Company recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control or Asset Sale exists, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company. Accordingly, the purpose of this Article 11 is to encourage the Executive to continue employment after a Change in Control or Asset Sale by providing reasonable employment security to the Executive and to recognize the prior service of the Executive in the event of a termination of employment under certain circumstances after a Change in Control or Asset Sale. This Article 11 shall not become effective, and the Company shall have no obligation hereunder, if the employment of the Executive with the Company terminates before a Change in Control or Asset Sale.

11.2 Definitions.

(a) “Change in Control” of the Company means the occurrence of either of the following events: (i) a third person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, becomes, or obtains the right to become, the beneficial owner of Company securities having twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company that may be cast for the election of directors to the Board of the Company (other than as a result of an issuance of securities initiated by the Company in the ordinary course of business); or (ii) as the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, the persons who were directors of the Company before such transactions shall cease to constitute a majority of the board or of the board of directors of any successor to the Company.

(b) “Asset Sale” shall mean a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions.

11.3 Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The terms and conditions of the awards and agreements applicable to the Executive’s outstanding stock options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights, performance-based grants, and all other forms of long-term incentive compensation, regardless of whether such compensation is equity or cash based, will govern the

consequences to the Executive upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or an Asset Sale or upon a termination of the Executive’s employment thereafter.

11.4 Continued Employment Following Change in Control or an Asset Sale. If a Change in Control or an Asset Sale occurs and the Executive is employed by the Company on the date the Change in Control or Asset Sale occurs (the “Change in Control Date”), the period beginning on the Change in Control Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of such date shall be the “Change in Control Employment Period.”

11.5 Termination of Employment During Change in Control Employment Period. The Executive will be entitled to the compensation and benefits described in this Section 11.5 if, during the Change in Control Employment Period, (a) the Company terminates his employment for any reason other than for Cause or due to Disability, or (b) the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason. The compensation and benefits described in this Section 11.5 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any compensation and benefits provided to the Executive pursuant to Sections 7.5 and 7.7 herein and any amounts otherwise payable under any severance plan or agreement covering senior officers of the Company. Upon such a termination of employment, the Executive shall receive the following payments and benefits:

(a) The Executive shall be entitled to his Accrued Obligations and a Pro Rata Target Bonus. The Accrued Obligations provided under Section 7.2(b)(i) and (ii) and the Pro Rata Target Bonus shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days after the Date of Termination or as soon thereafter as may be practicable. The Accrued Obligations provided under Section 7.2(b)(iii) and (iv) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the plan under which they are due.

(b) The Company shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to 2.99 times the Executive’s Final Compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Compensation” means the Base Salary in effect at the Date of Termination, plus the higher Annual Bonus paid or payable for the two (2) most recently completed fiscal years. This payment will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment not later than the forty-fifth (45th) day following the Date of Termination.

(c) The Executive’s participation in the Company’s health, dental, and vision plans will end on the last day of the month in which the Date of Termination occurs. The Executive may elect to continue coverage under the health, dental and/or vision plans for himself and his eligible dependents in accordance with the terms and procedures of COBRA. If the Executive elects COBRA coverage, the Executive shall be responsible for remitting the COBRA premium to the Company (or to a COBRA administrator designated by the Company) in accordance with the terms of the health, dental and vision plans and applicable COBRA requirements. If the Executive elects COBRA coverage, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for a portion of the cost of such coverage until the end of the COBRA coverage period, up to a maximum period of eighteen (18) months. The amount of the Company’s reimbursement shall be equal to the sum of (1) the amount the Company would have otherwise paid for such coverage if the Executive had remained an active employee of the Company, and (2) the COBRA administration fee. If the Executive does not elect COBRA coverage, the

Company shall have no obligation to the Executive with respect to health, dental and vision benefits following the Date of Termination.

(d) The Company shall provide the Executive with outplacement services not to exceed a cost of $25,000.00.

11.6 Death, Disability or Retirement Termination During Change In Control Employment Period. If the Executive’s employment ends by reason of Retirement, the Executive’s death, or as a result of Disability during the Change in Control Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without any further obligation on the part of the Company under this Agreement other than:

(a) The Executive (or his beneficiary or his estate in the event of his death) will be entitled to the payment of the Executive’s Accrued Obligations and a Pro Rata Target Bonus.

(b) The terms and conditions of the awards and agreements applicable to the Executive’s outstanding stock options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights, performance-based grants, and all other forms of long-term incentive compensation, regardless of whether such compensation is equity or cash based, will govern the consequences of the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 11.6.

11.7 Termination for Cause and Termination Other Than For Good Reason Following a Change in Control.

(a) If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Change in Control Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without further obligation to the Executive other than the payment to the Executive of his accrued and unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination, as well as any deferred compensation and other employee welfare and retirement benefits to which the Executive is entitled on the Date of Termination in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan or plans under which they are due. The terms and conditions of the awards and agreements applicable to the Executive’s outstanding stock options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights, performance-based grants, and all other forms of long-term incentive compensation, regardless of whether such compensation is equity or cash based, will govern the consequences of the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 11.7(a).

cash payment within ten (10) days after the Date of Termination or as soon thereafter as may be practicable. The Accrued Obligations provided under Section 7.2(b)(iii) and (iv) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the plan under which they are due; and

(ii) The terms and conditions of the awards and agreements applicable to the Executive’s outstanding stock options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights, performance-based grants, and all other forms of long-term incentive compensation, regardless of whether such compensation is equity or cash based, will govern the consequences of the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 11.7(b).

11.8 Conditions on Company Obligations. All payments and benefits made or provided pursuant to Article 11 are subject to the Executive’s compliance with the provisions of Section 7.8. After payment of all amounts and benefits under this Article 11, the Company thereafter shall have no further obligation under this Agreement.

Article 12. Assignment

12.1 Assignment by Company. This Agreement may and shall be assigned or transferred to, and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, any successor of the Company, and any such successor shall be deemed substituted for all purposes of the “Company” under the terms of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “successor” shall mean any person, firm, corporation, or business entity which, at any time, whether by merger, purchase, or otherwise, acquires all or substantially all, or control of all or substantially all, of the assets or the business of the Company.

Notices to the Executive shall be directed to the last address he has filed in writing with the Company. Notices to the Company shall be directed to the Secretary of the Company, with a copy directed to the Chairman of the Board of the Company.

Article 17. Miscellaneous

17.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, this Agreement completely supersedes any and all prior employment and severance agreements entered into by and between the Company, and the Executive, and all amendments thereto, in their entirety.

17.2 Return of Materials. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, however such termination is effected, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company all property (including Intellectual Property), records, materials, documents, and copies of documents concerning the Executive’s business and/or its customers (hereinafter collectively “Company Materials”) which the Executive has in his possession or under his control at the time of termination of his employment. The Executive further agrees not to take or

extract any portion of Company Materials in written, computer, electronic or any other reproducible form without the prior written consent of the Board.

17.3 Modification. This Agreement shall not be varied, altered, modified, canceled, changed, or in any way amended except by mutual agreement of the parties in a written instrument executed by the parties hereto or their legal representatives.

17.4 Severability. It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of the restrictive covenants herein shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the applicable law. If any clause or provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the Term hereof, then the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or provision of this Agreement that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added, as a part of this Agreement, a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and as may be legal, valid and enforceable.

17.5 Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) to the extent applicable, payment of compensation under this Agreement will be administered in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including, without limitation, the postponement for six (6) months of any one or more payments of such compensation to the Executive, and (ii) if either the Company or the Executive determines that any provision of this Agreement may cause compensation payable to the Executive to be classified as income under Code Section 409A(a) or (b) and thereby results in tax penalties to the Executive, the Company or the Executive, as the case may be, shall notify the other party and the parties will jointly determine if and to what extent the Agreement must be amended to comply with Code Section 409A.

17.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

17.7 Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

17.8 Restrictive Covenants of the Essence. The restrictive covenants of the Executive set forth herein are of the essence of this Agreement, and they shall be construed as independent of any other provision in this Agreement; the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or not, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the restrictive covenants contained herein. The Company shall at all times maintain the right to seek enforcement of these provisions whether or not the Company has previously refrained from seeking enforcement of any such provision as to the Executive or any other individual who has signed an agreement with similar provisions. Notwithstanding any provision contained within this Agreement, the obligations of the Executive under Articles 8, 9, 10, 13 and 17 of this Agreement shall continue after the termination of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment and shall be binding on the Executive’s heirs, executors, legal representatives and assigns.

Such designation must be in the form of a signed writing acceptable to the Company’s chief legal officer. The Executive may make or change such designation at any time.

17.10 Full Settlement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including without limitation, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others, except to the extent any amounts are due the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates pursuant to a judgment against the Executive. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer; provided, that continued health, dental and vision benefit plan participation pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(ii) or Section 11.5(c) herein shall be reduced to the extent that the Executive becomes eligible to such benefits from a subsequent employer.

17.11 Contractual Rights to Benefits. This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he is entitled hereunder. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets in trust or otherwise to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder.

17.12 Resignations. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment, however such termination is effected, he shall be deemed to have resigned as of the date of such termination all offices and directorships he may have held with the Company and all subsidiaries.

The Employee also affirms the Executive has no known workplace injuries.

7. Cooperation; Return of Property. Employee agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company and its counsel in connection with any investigation, administrative proceeding, arbitration or litigation relating to any matter that occurred during the Executive’s employment in which the Executive was involved or of which the Executive has knowledge. The Company will reimburse the Employee for any reasonable out-of-pocket travel, delivery or similar expenses incurred in providing such service to the Company. Employee represents that the Executive has returned to the Company all property belonging to the Company, including but not limited to any leased vehicle, laptop, cell phone, keys, access cards, phone cards and credit cards.

8. Governing Law and Interpretation. This Agreement and General Release shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to Virginia’s choice of law statutes or decisions. In the event Employee or the Company breaches any provision of this Agreement and General Release, Employee and the Company acknowledge that either may institute an action to specifically enforce any term or terms of this Agreement and General Release pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of Article 13 of the Severance Agreement. Should any provision of this Agreement and General Release be declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and should the provision be incapable of being modified to be enforceable, such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this Agreement and General Release in full force and effect. Nothing herein, however, shall operate to void or nullify any enforceable general release language contained in this Agreement and General Release.

9. No Admission of Wrongdoing. Employee agrees neither this Agreement and General Release nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement and General Release shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission by the Company of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind.

10. Amendment. This Agreement and General Release may not be modified, altered or changed except upon express written consent of both parties wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement and General Release.

11. Entire Agreement.
