COLLECTORS UNIVERSE, INC.
 
FISCAL 2010 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
 
This FISCAL 2010 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN (the “2010 Management Incentive Plan”
or the “2010 Incentive Plan”) of Collectors Universe, Inc, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) is hereby adopted and approved as of June 1, 2009,
with reference to the following:
 
A.           WHEREAS, in 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and its
stockholders approved the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Equity
Plan” or the “2006 Plan”), which provides for the granting of options to
purchase Common Stock, Restricted Stock Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights and
Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the 2006 Plan) to officers and other key
employees and directors of the Company or its Affiliates (as defined in Section
2.1 of the 2006 Equity Plan); and
 
B.           WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board has determined
that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders that this 2010 Management Incentive Plan be approved and
implemented to provide for the grant of Restricted Stock Awards, in accordance
with the 2006 Equity Plan and the terms and provisions of this 2010 Management
Incentive Plan, to the Company’s three (3) executive officers: Michael J.
McConnell, its CEO, David G. Hall, its President, and Joseph J. Wallace, its CFO
(collectively, the “Participants” and each a “Participant”).
 
1.           Purposes and Administration of the 2010 Incentive Plan.
 
1.1           Purposes of the Plan.  This 2010 Management Incentive Plan has
been adopted in place of a cash-based annual management incentive plan of the
types adopted by the Compensation Committee in previous years, primarily for the
following purposes: (i) to establish incentives that will focus management on
achieving a turn-around in the Company’s financial performance in fiscal 2010,
as well as providing incentives for them to remain in the Company’s employ
thereafter, (ii) to reduce the maximum compensation that the Participants can
earn in fiscal 2010, as compared to fiscal years 2009 and 2008, and (iii) to
reduce cash outflows in fiscal 2010 by paying such incentive compensation, if
earned, in Restricted Shares rather than cash.
 
1.2           Administration of the 2010 Incentive Plan.  This 2010 Incentive
Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which shall have the
authority to interpret and construe, and to adopt all necessary rules and
regulations for administering, this Plan.  All decisions and determinations of
the Committee with respect to this 2010 Incentive Plan shall be final and
binding on and nonappealable by the Company and the Participants.
 
2.           Definitions.  Unless otherwise defined elsewhere in this 2010
Incentive Plan, the following terms shall have the respective meanings given to

Absence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a termination or cessation of
Continuous Service of a Participant shall not be deemed to have occurred if,

Subsidiaries for Fiscal 2010 (the “2010 Financial Statements”), except that
there shall be excluded from the computation of such consolidated operating
income (i) all non-cash stock-based compensation costs, and (ii) all non-cash

                                The terms “herein”, “hereof”, “hereto”,

Stock Market or the principal stock exchange (as the case may be) on which the
Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading, if the Company’s Common
Stock during that Measurement Period is listed or admitted to trading on the
Nasdaq Stock Market or a stock exchange which reports closing sale prices,
provided, that if no closing sale price is quoted on any day during that
Measurement Period, then the Market Value for such day shall be the closing sale
price per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market or such principal
stock exchange (as the case may be) on the next succeeding day for which a
closing sale price is reported;
 
 
 
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
                                (b)           the average of the closing bid and
asked prices per share of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market during
the applicable Measurement Period, if the Company’s Common Stock is not then
listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or a stock exchange
which reports closing sale prices; or

(c)           if neither paragraph (a) nor (b) above is applicable during the
Measurement Period, then the Market Value shall be determined by the Committee
in good faith using any reasonable method of evaluation, which determination
shall be conclusive and binding on all interested and affected parties.

“Measurement Period” shall mean whichever of the following periods is of longer
duration: (i) the period commencing (10) trading days preceding the Commencement

the Participants under this 2010 Plan.

“Permitted Assign” shall mean any Person to whom a Participant has transferred

Board of Directors at its meeting on May 21, 2009.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, at any time prior to the end of Fiscal 2010, the

the occurrence of (i) any extraordinary event, (ii) any material corporate
transactions, (iii) any material changes in corporate capitalization, accounting
rules or principles or in the Company’s methods of accounting, (iv) any material
changes in applicable law, or (v) any other material change or event of similar
nature (each, an “Extraordinary Event”), but only if any such Extraordinary
Event was not reasonably foreseeable at the time the Plan Performance Goal then
in effect under this 2010 Incentive Plan had been established and would, in the
sole opinion of the Committee (x) make it unlikely that Plan Performance Goal
will be achieved or (y) make it likely that the Plan Performance Goal would be
achieved solely by reason of occurrence of such Extraordinary
Event.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the occurrence of changes in the
competitive environment or changes in economic or market conditions in the
Company’s markets, whether or not expected or reasonably foreseeable, shall not
by themselves constitute Extraordinary Events that may be the basis of a change
in the Plan Performance Goal.

“Restricted Shares” means shares of Company Common Stock authorized for issuance
under the 2006 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and awarded hereunder subject to
the restrictions and risks of forfeiture set forth in Sections 4 and 5,
respectively, of this 2010 Plan.

“Unvested Shares” means those of any Restricted Shares awarded hereunder as to
which any of the Vesting Conditions has not been satisfied and which, for that
reason, are or remain subject to a risk of forfeiture and the Company’s
Reacquisition Rights under Section 5 of this Agreement.
 
“Vested Shares” means those of the Restricted Shares awarded pursuant hereto as
to which the Vesting Conditions have been satisfied and which, for that reason,
are no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture or the Company’s Reacquisition

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
       3.           Restricted Shares to be Awarded under 2010  Incentive
Plan.  Each Participant shall be awarded, pursuant to this 2010 Incentive Plan,
a number of Restricted Shares that have an aggregate Market Value, over the
applicable Measurement Period, set forth opposite the name of such Participant
in the following table:
 
 
 
Participants
 
Market Value
of
Restricted Shares
         
Michael J. McConnell
  $ 464,000  
David G. Hall
  $ 464,000  
Joseph J. Wallace
  $ 232,000  

 
An award of Restricted Shares to a Participant pursuant to this Plan shall be
evidenced by a written Restricted Stock Agreement to be entered into by the
Company with such Participant substantially in the form approved by the
Compensation Committee containing terms and conditions not inconsistent with the
2006 Equity Plan or this 2010 Incentive Plan.
 
 
4.           Restrictions on and Risk of Forfeiture of the Restricted
Shares.  Except as may otherwise be provided in this Section 4 or in Section 5
below, the Restricted Shares to be granted pursuant to this 2010 Incentive Plan
shall constitute “Unvested Shares” until such time, if any, as they become
Vested Shares as provided in Section 5 hereof, and for so long as they remain
Unvested Shares shall be subject to the following restrictions:
 
4.1           Restrictions on Transferability.  No Participant shall be entitled
to sell, assign or transfer or otherwise dispose of any of his Unvested Shares,
either in whole or in part, other than to a Permitted Assign, and any stock
certificate(s) evidencing Unvested Shares shall remain in the possession of the
Company and shall bear restrictive legends to the effect that the Shares
evidenced thereby are subject to restrictions on transferability pursuant to
this Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement pursuant to which such Restricted
Shares are awarded.
 
4.2           Dividend Restrictions.  If the Company pays any dividends or
distributions, whether in cash, stock or other property, to all of the holders
of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock at a time when any of the
Restricted Shares are Unvested Shares, the dividends or distributions that would
otherwise be payable to each Participant on or in respect of such Unvested
Shares shall not be distributed to the Participant, but shall be deposited in a
segregated bank account maintained on the Company’s behalf by the transfer agent
for the Company’s Common Stock or a bank or other depository institution as may
be designated by the Company (the “Deposit Account”).  Upon the vesting of any
of the Unvested Shares of a Participant, any dividends or distributions that had
previously been declared on such Shares and deposited in a Deposit Account shall
be distributed to that Participant or, if any such Shares had been transferred
to a Permitted Assign, to that Permitted Assign in accordance with his or her
interests in such Shares.  If, on the other hand, any of such Unvested Shares
are reacquired by the Company pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Plan, then, the
dividends and distributions declared on those reacquired Unvested Shares shall
revert and be returned to the Company and neither the Participant nor any of his
Permitted Assigns shall have any rights therein or claims thereto.
 
4.3           Voting Rights.  Unless and until any Unvested Shares are
reacquired pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, a Participant or any Permitted Assign
thereof, as the case may be, shall be entitled to vote such Unvested Shares to
the same extent as if they were Vested Shares.
 
5.           Vesting of Restricted Shares; Risks of Forfeiture and Company
Reacquisition Rights.
 
5.1           Vesting of Restricted Shares.  A Participant’s Restricted Shares
awarded pursuant to this 2010 Incentive Plan shall become Vested Shares and
shall cease to be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4 above and
the risk of forfeiture set forth in Section 5.2 below, upon satisfaction of the
following contingencies or conditions:
 
(a)           Time-Based Vesting.  Twenty-five percent (25%) of a Participant’s
Restricted Shares (his “Time-Contingent Shares”) will become Vested Shares, as
follows:
 
 
 
4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(i)           Messrs. McConnell and Hall.  If Mr. McConnell or Mr. Hall remains
in the Company’s Continuous Service until July 31, 2010, then, his
Time-Contingent Shares will thereupon become Vested Shares.
 
(ii)           Mr. Wallace.  If Mr. Wallace remains in the Continuous Service of
the Company until at least the date on which the Company and Mr. Wallace enter
into the Restricted Stock Agreement evidencing the award of Restricted Shares to
him pursuant to this 2010 Incentive Plan, then, his Time-Contingent Shares will
thereupon become Vested Shares.
 
(b)           Performance-Based Vesting Contingency.  The vesting of the other
seventy-five (75%) of the Restricted Shares to be awarded, respectively, to each
Participant (the “Performance-Contingent Shares”) will be contingent on the
achievement by the Company, in Fiscal 2010, of the Plan Performance Goal (as
defined above) and if that Plan Performance Goal is achieved, then:
 
(i)           Initial Installment of Performance-Contingent Shares.  An initial
installment of one-third (33.3%) of the Performance Contingent Shares of a
Participant shall become Vested Shares on the date it is determined that the
Plan Performance Goal was achieved or July 31, 2010 (whichever is later),
provided that such Participant has remained in the Continuous Service of the
Company until at least July 31, 2010;
 
(ii)           Second Installment of Performance-Contingent Shares.  A second
installment of one-third (33.3%) of the Performance Contingent Shares of a
Participant shall become Vested Shares on June 30, 2011, provided that such
Participant has remained in the Continuous Service of the Company until at least
June 30, 2011; and
 
(iii)           Third Installment of Performance-Contingent Shares.  A final
installment of the remaining one-third (33.3%) of the Unvested Performance
Contingent Shares of a Participant shall become Vested Shares on June 30, 2012,
provided that such Participant has remained in the Continuous Service of the
Company until at least June 30, 2012.
 
5.2           Risks of Forfeiture and Company Reacquisition Rights.  The Company
shall be entitled to reacquire, without the payment of any sums or other
consideration to a Participant, all or any portion of the Participant’s Unvested
Shares (the Company’s “Reacquisition Rights”), on the following terms and
conditions:
 
(a)           Failure of Time-Vesting Contingency.  The Company shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to reacquire all of the Unvested Shares
(comprised of both the Time-Vested Shares and the Performance-Contingent Shares)
of a Participant, or such lesser number thereof as the Committee deems in its
sole and absolute discretion to be appropriate, in the event that there is a
cessation or termination of such Participant’s Continuous Service, other than by
reason of a Termination Without Cause or a Termination for Good Reason (as
defined in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement): (i) in the case of
Messrs. McConnell and Hall, prior to July 31, 2010, and (ii) in the case of
Mr. Wallace, prior to the date on which he and the Company enter into the
Restricted Stock Agreement evidencing the award of the Restricted Shares to him
hereunder.
 
(b)           Failure of Plan Performance Goal.  If Participant has remained in
the Continuous Service of the Company through July 31, 2010, but it is
determined by the Committee that the Company has failed to achieve the Plan
Performance Goal, then, the Company shall become entitled to exercise its
Reacquisition Rights to reacquire all of the Participant’s the
Performance-Contingent Shares or such lesser number thereof as the Committee
deems in its sole and absolute discretion to be appropriate.
 
(c)           Cessation of Continuous Service After Achievement of Plan
Performance Goal.  If the Committee has determined that the Performance Goal has
been achieved, but:
 
 
 
5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(i)           A Participant has ceased to remain in the Company’s Continuous
Service through at least June 30, 2010 (other than by reason of a Termination
Without Cause or a Termination for Good Reason), the Company shall become
entitled to exercise its Reacquisition Rights to acquire all the Participant’s
Performance-Contingent Shares or such lesser number thereof as the Committee
deems in its sole and absolute discretion to be appropriate;
 
(ii)           A Participant has ceased to remain in the Company’s Continuous
Service through at least June 30, 2011 (other than by reason of a Termination
Without Cause or a Termination for Good Reason), the Company shall become
entitled to exercise its Reacquisition Rights to acquire all of such
Participant’s then remaining Unvested Performance-Contingent Shares or such
lesser number thereof as the Committee deems in its sole and absolute discretion
to be appropriate; or
 
(iii)           A Participant’s Continuous Service has ceased after June 30,
2011, but prior to July 1, 2012 (other than by reason of a Termination Without
Cause or a Termination for Good Reason), the Company shall become entitled to
exercise its Reacquisition Rights to acquire all of such Participant’s then
remaining Unvested Performance-Contingent Shares or such lesser number thereof
as the Committee deems in its sole and absolute discretion to be appropriate.
 
(d)           Procedure for Exercise of Reacquisition Right.  If and whenever
the Company becomes entitled, pursuant to this Section 5.2, to reacquire any
Unvested Shares of a Participant, whether as a result of a cessation of
Participant’s Continuous Service or the failure of the Plan Performance Goal, as
the case may be, the Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days thereafter
within which to exercise its Reacquisition Rights with respect to such Unvested
Shares (the “Reacquisition Shares”) by giving Participant (or his Permitted
Assign, if any, who has acquired ownership thereof) a written notice (a
“Reacquisition Notice”) setting forth the number of such Reacquisition Shares
that the Company is electing to reacquire.  Any of such Reacquisition Shares
which the Company does not elect, in the manner set forth above, to reacquire
within such 60 day period shall become Vested Shares.
 
5.3           Accelerated Vesting.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
that may be contained elsewhere in this Plan, including Sections 5.1 and 5.2
above:
 
(a)           Acceleration of Vesting on a Termination of Participant’s
Employment Without Cause or for Good Reason.  If there occurs a Termination of a
Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate thereof Without Cause
or for Good Reason, as defined in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, at
any time that any of the Restricted Shares granted to him are Unvested Shares,
and Participant does not remain in the Continuous Service of the Company
thereafter in another capacity, then such Unvested Shares shall thereupon become
Vested Shares without the necessity of any action by the Company or Participant.

(b)           Effect of Change of Control.  If a Change of Control (as defined
in the 2006 Equity Plan) occurs while any of the Shares of a Participant
continue to be Unvested Shares, then, the applicable provisions of Section 11 of
the 2006 Equity Plan shall govern the vesting of such Unvested Shares by reason
of the occurrence of such Change of Control.

6.           Amendments to and Termination of 2010 Incentive
Plan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be contained elsewhere
in this 2010 Incentive Plan:
 
6.1           Amendments to and Modifications of the 2010 Incentive
Plan.  Subject to any limitations set forth in the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan,
the Committee shall have the sole, absolute and unconditional discretion to
amend or modify the 2010 Incentive Plan at any time or from time to time with or
without notice to the Participants, provided, however, that, in no event shall
any amendment to the 2010 Incentive Plan affect any of a Participant’s
Restricted Shares that have theretofore become Vested Shares nor any of the
Participants rights with respect thereto.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
6.2           Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  This Incentive Plan is
intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and any related regulations and
guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) and will be interpreted in a
manner intended to comply with Section 409A.  In furtherance thereof, no
payments may be accelerated under this Incentive Plan other than to the extent
permitted under Section 409A.  To the extent that any provision of this
Incentive Plan violates Section 409A such that amounts would be taxable to a
Participant prior to payment or would otherwise subject a Participant to a
penalty tax under Section 409A, such provision shall be automatically reformed
or stricken to preserve the intent hereof.  Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, (i) if at the time of a Participant’s termination of employment
the Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A and the
deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable
hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to
prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Company
shall defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits
hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or
provided to the participant) until the date that is six (6) months following the
Participant’s termination of employment (or the earliest date as is permitted
under Section 409A) and (ii) if any other payments due to a Participant
hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under
Section 409A, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will
make such payment compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment shall
be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, as determined by the
Committee, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax.  The
Committee shall implement the provisions of this Section 6.2 in good faith;
provided that none of the Company, the Committee or its members, or any
employees or representatives of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
business units shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this
Section 6.2.
 
7.           Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
7.1           No Enlargement of Employee Rights.  Nothing in this 2010 Incentive
Plan shall be construed to create or imply any contract of employment between
any Participant and the Company, to confer upon any Participant any right to
continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or to confer upon
the Company or any Affiliate any right to require any Participant’s continued
employment or service.
 
7.2           Rights Not Alienable.  Any rights provided to a Participant under
the Incentive Plan may not be assigned, transferred or alienated, except as
expressly permitted by the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the Participant’s
Restricted Stock Agreement.

7.3           Other Compensation Incentive Plans.  The adoption of this 2010
Incentive Plan shall not affect any other Company compensation plans, nor shall
the Incentive Plan preclude the Company from establishing or awarding any other
forms of compensation for employees, officers or directors of the Company,
including the Participants.
 
7.4           Governing Law.  To the extent not preempted by federal law, the
2010 Incentive Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State
of California.

7.5           No Other Understandings or Agreements with respect to the 2010
Incentive Plan.  Subject to the 2006 Omnibus Equity Plan, and except as
otherwise expressly provided elsewhere herein, this 2010 Incentive Plan contains
all of the terms and provisions of and all conditions applicable to the 2010
Management Incentive Plan and supersedes any previous discussions,
communications, understandings or agreements, written or oral, between the
Company and any Participant with respect to this 2010 Incentive Plan as well as
all prior actions that may have been taken by the Committee relating to thereto.

7.6           Headings.  Section and paragraph headings have been inserted
herein for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered and shall
not affect the construction, interpretation or application of any terms and
provisions of this Plan.
 
 

 
Adopted as of June 1, 2009.
