          Re: Offer of Employment

Dear Pete:

          On behalf of Good Guys, Inc. ("the Company"), I am pleased to
confirm the following offer of employment, to commence November 26, 2001.
The terms are as follows:

          1. You will be employed as Chief Operating Officer for the Company,
reporting to the President and CEO.

          2. Your initial base salary will be $270,000 annually. In addition, a
bonus of $200,000 could be earned on February 28, 2003, if you are still then in
the employ of the Company, that would be tied to results for the fiscal year
ending February 28, 2003. The bonus criteria would be agreed between the Company
and you. That amount will be reduced by any normal officer bonus that would be
earned prior or during that period.

          3. You will be an at-will employee, which means that you can be
terminated by the Company at any time, with or without cause. The Company can
terminate this agreement at any time before December 31, 2001, with 15 days'
written notice without penalty and at any time thereafter with 60 days written
notice.

          4. You will have access to confidential information and trade secrets
relating to the Company's business. You agree to sign the Company's Code of
Conduct Agreement which prohibits disclosure of such information to any third
person either during or after the termination of your employment, and contains
other non-compete, non-solicitation, and business-related provisions required as
a condition of your employment. You will also be required to execute all other
standard employee documents, including proof of right to work.

          5. During your employment, you will receive the other benefits of
employment generally available to the Company's other Vice Presidents when and

as you become eligible, except health care benefits will begin at the earliest
practical date.

          6. This offer, if accepted by you, will be binding on the Company.
Should the Company have a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in Section
9B of the Company's 1994 Stock Incentive Plan) before February 28, 2003, and
while you are still in the employ of the Company, you would be entitled to
receive a bonus of $230,000 on completion of the Change of Control Transaction.
That amount will be reduced by any normal officer bonus that would be earned
prior or during that period and would be in lieu of the bonus provided for in
paragraph 2 above.

          7.This offer letter contains the complete terms of your offer of
employment. All representations or promises relating to your employment are
contained in this letter, and - except for subsequent agreements contained in a
writing signed by you and the Company's President & Chief Executive Office - no
one is authorized to make any other agreements pertaining to your employment.

          I am excited about having you join the Company. If this offer of
employment meets with your approval, please sign and return to me a copy of this
letter indicating your agreement to its terms.

Executive Officer. Initially, you will have oversight in the area of Information

eligible for an additional allocation in the Company's 2002 fiscal year.

          4. The Company will pay your reasonable moving expenses for relocating

the Company will also pay reasonable air travel for the purpose of traveling to
your home in Minnesota or locating housing in the Bay Area; such trips to be no
more frequent than once every three weeks.

          6. You will be an at-will employee, which means that you can be
terminated by the Company at any time, with or without cause. This at-will
nature of your employment may not be changed or modified in any respect unless
specifically agreed in a written agreement signed by you and the Company's
President or Chief Executive Officer.

          7. If you are terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined

paragraph will be made to your Estate. If you choose to terminate your
employment, or if the Company terminates your employment with Cause, or if your
employment terminates after two years, or by reason of your death, then you will
be entitled to no salary beyond that earned up to the date of your termination.

          8. For purposes of paragraph 7, "Cause" means: (i) violation of any of
the Company's policies, practices and procedures; (ii) any state, federal or
other conviction, including but not limited to the entry of a plea of nolo
contendere upon a criminal charge, which would render you unable to perform your
normal responsibilities; (iii) neglect of, breach of, or failure or inability to
perform (with reasonable accommodation) your duties as an employee; or (iv) an
act of misconduct or dishonesty in connection with your employment.

          9. You will have access to confidential information and trade secrets

RE: TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT

Dear Cathy:

On behalf of Good Guys California, Inc. ("the Company"), I want to take this
opportunity to confirm the following terms of your employment as of this date:

1. You are employed as Vice President, Merchandising for the Company, reporting
to the President or Chief Executive Officer, with responsibilities as directed
by the Chief Executive Officer. The areas, which you oversee, may change as
necessary in this dynamic Company. You will devote your full energies, interest,
abilities and productive time to the performance of your employment
responsibilities.

2. Your base salary is $250,000 annually. Salary is reviewed annually, and you
will be considered for an increase after one year of employment. In addition,
you will be eligible for a bonus of up to fifty percent (50%) of your salary,
depending on achievement of personal goals to be approved by the Company, and
depending on the Company's financial performance. Bonus is payable at the time
of the Company's normal bonus distributions, and is not earned unless you are
employed by the Company on the date that the bonus is paid.

3. During your employment, you will receive the other benefits of employment
generally available to the Company's other Vice Presidents when and as you
become eligible for them.

4. You are an at-will employee, which means that you can be terminated by the
Company at any time, with or without cause. This at-will nature of your
employment may not be changed or modified in any respect unless specifically
agreed to in a written agreement signed by you and the Company's Chief Executive
Officer or President.

5. For purposes of paragraph 4, "cause" means: (a) violation of any of the
Company's policies, practices and procedures; (b) any state, federal or other
conviction, including, but not limited to, the entry of a plea of nolo
contendere upon a criminal charge, which would render you unable to perform your
normal

responsibilities; (c) neglect of, breach of, or failure or inability to perform
(with reasonable accommodation) your duties as an employee; or (d) an act of
misconduct or dishonesty in connection with your employment.

6. In the event of a "change in control" of the Company within two years from
the date of this letter and you are terminated without cause or if you suffer
any diminution in base salary, or level of responsibility (i.e., demotion below
Vice President level) and you resign your employment within thirty days of such
diminution, and termination occurs within twelve months of the change of
control, then you will be entitled to a severance benefit equivalent to one
year's salary, payable over the same schedule that such payments would be made
if you had remained employed. However, the maximum amount you may receive is one
year's salary. For purposes of this agreement, the term "change in control" is
defined as either of the following shareholder-approved transactions to which
the Company is a party: (a) a merger or consolidation in which securities
comprising more than fifty (50%) percent of the total combined voting power of
the Company's outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons
different from the persons holding those securities immediately prior to such
transaction; or (b) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets.

7. If you are terminated by the Company without cause within two years from
August 6, 2001, then you will be entitled to receive severance pay equivalent to
twelve month's salary, payable over the same schedule that such payment would be
made if you had remained employed. In the event of your death following such
termination, then payments owing under this paragraph will be made to your
estate. If you choose to terminate your employment, or if the Company terminates
your employment with cause, or if your employment terminates after two years, or
by reason of your death, then you will be entitled to no salary beyond that
earned up to the date of your termination.

8. Neither this agreement nor the compensation provided for herein shall result
in the reduction of any amounts otherwise payable to you under the terms of any
existing benefit plans of the Company or affect your entitlement to any benefits
that have accrued and are owing to you as of the time of termination of your
employment.

9. You have access to confidential information and trade secrets relating to the
Company's business. You have signed the Company's Code of Conduct Agreement,
which prohibits disclosure of such information to any third person either during
or after the termination of your employment, and contains other non-

compete, non-solicitation, and business-related provisions required as a
condition of your employment.

10. This agreement does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the
Company any obligation to retain you as an employee.

11. Compensation payable to you under this agreement shall be reduced by all
federal, state, local and other withholding or similar taxes as required by
applicable law.

12. This letter contains the complete terms of your employment. All
representations or promises relating to your employment are contained in this
letter, and, except for subsequent agreements contained in a writing signed by
you and the Company's Chief Executive Officer or President, no one is authorized
to make any other agreements pertaining to your employment. These terms, if
accepted by you, will be binding on the Company, its successors and assigns,
even in the event of a change of ownership or management of the Company.

Please indicate your acceptance of these terms by affixing your signature below
and returning this letter to me.
