                         AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION
                 2000 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN

                 PART I.  PLAN ADMINISTRATION AND ELIGIBILITY

I. Purpose

     The purpose of this Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
of American Woodmark Corporation (the "Company") is to encourage ownership in
the Company by non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board"), in order to promote long-term shareholder value and to provide
non-employee members of the Board with an incentive to continue as directors of
the Company.  The Plan is intended to conform to the provisions of Rule 16b-3 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

II. Administration

     The Plan shall be administered by the Board.  Grants of stock options
("Options") under the Plan shall be automatic as described in Section VII.
However, the Board shall have all powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan,
including, without limitation, the authority (within the limitations described
herein) to prescribe the form of the agreement embodying awards of stock options
under the Plan, to construe the Plan, to determine all questions arising under
the Plan, and to adopt and amend rules and regulations for the administration of
the Plan as it may deem desirable and to establish and verify the extent of
satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability applicable to Options.  Any
decision of the Board in the administration of the Plan, as described herein,
shall be final and conclusive.  The Board may act only by a majority of its
members, except that members thereof may authorize any one or more of their
number or any officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf
of the Board.  No member of the Board shall be liable for anything done or
omitted to be done by him or any other member of the Board in connection with
the Plan, except for his own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by
statute.

III. Eligibility

     Each person who is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company and who is a member of the Board shall be eligible to participate in
this Plan.

IV. Stock Subject to the Plan

     The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock ("Shares") that
may be issued upon exercise of Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be
30,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section XII.  Shares that have not
been issued under the Plan allocable to Options and portions of Options that
expire or terminate unexercised may again be subject to a new Option.

                               PART II. OPTIONS

V. Non-Statutory Sock Options

     All Options granted under the Plan shall be non-statutory in nature and
shall not be entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

VI. Option Exercise Price

     The exercise price of each Option shall be the fair market value of the
Shares subject to such Option on the date the Option is granted, which shall be
the average of the highest and lowest reported sale prices per share of the
Shares on the Nasdaq National Market (or if there have been no transactions, the
average of the bid and asked prices) on the date of grant.

VII. Grant of Options

     Each Option shall be evidenced by a written agreement in such form as the
Board shall from time to time approve, which agreement shall comply with and be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

          A. Option Grant Date.  Each director of the Company who meets the
     eligibility conditions described in Section III on the effective date of
     the Plan (as described in Section XII) shall automatically receive an
     Option to purchase 1,000 Shares on that date.  Each director who is newly
     elected by the Company's shareholders after the Plan's effective date to
     serve as a director of the Company and who meets the eligibility conditions
     described in Section III shall automatically receive an Option to purchase
     1,000 Shares on the date of such election.  Each eligible director shall
     annually thereafter on the anniversary date of his or her first Option
     grant automatically receive an Option to purchase 1,000 shares. If at any
     time under the Plan there are not sufficient Shares available to fully
     permit the automatic Option grants described in this paragraph, the Option
     grants shall be reduced pro rata (to zero if necessary) so as not to exceed
     the number of Shares available.

          B. Non-Transferability of Options.  An Option shall not be
     transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or by the laws of
     descent and distribution, and shall be exercised during the lifetime of the
     optionee only by him or her.  An Option transferred by will or by the laws
     of descent and distribution may be
<PAGE>

     exercised by the optionee's personal representative within one year of the
     date of the optionee's death to the extent the optionee could have
     exercised the Option on the date of his death. No Option or interest
     therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the
     optionee during his lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or
     be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

          C. Exercise of Options.  An Option shall be exercisable as to one-
     third of the number of Shares on the first anniversary of the date on which
     it was granted, and as to an additional one-third of the number of Shares
     on each succeeding anniversary until fully exercisable.  No Option may be
     exercised:

               1. before the Plan is approved by shareholders of the Company;

               2. after the expiration of up to four (4) years from the date the
          Option is granted as specified by the Board in the participants stock
          option agreement; provided, however, that each Option shall be subject
          to termination before its date of expiration as hereinafter provided;

               3. the Board may impose such vesting conditions and other
          requirements as the Board deems appropriate, and the Board may include
          such provisions regarding Change of Control as the Board deems
          appropriate,

               4. except by written notice to the Company at its principal
          office, stating the number of Shares to the optionee has elected to
          purchase, accompanied by payment in cash and/or by delivery to the
          Company of Shares (valued at fair market value on the date of
          exercise) in the amount of the full Option exercise price for the
          Shares being acquired thereunder; and

               5. only at such time as an optionee is a director of the Company,
          or within three (3) months after the date the optionee ceases to be a
          director of the Company, to the extent then exercisable, but subject
          to the provisions of subsection B above.



VIII. Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options

     The Board shall have the power to modify, extend or renew outstanding
Options and to authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefore,
provided that any such action may not have the effect of altering or impairing
any rights or obligations of any person under any Option previously granted
without the consent of the optionee.

IX. Termination

     any director's participation in the Plan, any director's receipt of an

     the Company will retain any person as a director for any period of time.

          B. No Shareholder's Rights Under Options.  An optionee shall have no
     rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by his or her

exercise price per Share under any outstanding Option, shall be adjusted
automatically so that the proportionate interest of the participant shall be
maintained as before the occurrence of such event.  Such adjustment in
outstanding Options, with a corresponding adjustment in the Option exercise

applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option, and any such adjustment
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.
