Exhibit 10.5

AMENDED AND RESTATED

GAMESTOP CORP.

2001 INCENTIVE PLAN

     GAMESTOP CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby establishes and adopts the
following 2001 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to encourage high levels of performance by those individuals who
are key to the success of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, to
attract new individuals who are highly motivated and who will contribute to the success of the
Company and to encourage such individuals to remain as officers, employees, consultants, advisors
and/or directors of the Company and its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates by increasing their
proprietary interest in the Company’s growth and success.

     WHEREAS, to attain these ends, the Company has formulated the Plan embodied herein to
authorize the granting of incentive awards through grants of options to purchase shares
(“Options”), grants of share appreciation rights, grants of Stock Purchase Awards (hereafter
defined), grants of Restricted Share Awards (hereafter defined), or any other award made under the
Plan to those persons (each such person a “Participant”) whose judgment, initiative and efforts
are, have been, or are expected to be responsible for the success of the Company or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby constitutes, establishes and adopts the following Plan and
agrees to the following provisions:

ARTICLE 1.

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

     1.1. Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to assist the Company or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company in attracting and retaining selected individuals to serve as
directors, officers, consultants, advisors, and employees of the Company or any parent, subsidiary
or affiliate of the Company who will contribute to the Company’s success and to achieve long-term
objectives which will inure to the benefit of all shareholders of the Company through the
additional incentive inherent in the ownership of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the “Shares”). Options granted under the Plan will be either “incentive stock
options,” intended to qualify as such under the provisions of section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as from time to time amended (the “Code”), or “nonqualified stock options.” For
purposes of the Plan, the terms “subsidiary” and “parent” shall mean “subsidiary corporation” and
“parent corporation,” respectively, as such terms are defined in sections 424(f) and 424(e) of the
Code, and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of the Plan, the term “Award” shall include
a grant of an Option, a grant of a share appreciation right, a grant of a Stock Purchase Award, a
grant of a Restricted Share Award, or any other award made under the terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE 2.

SHARES SUBJECT TO AWARDS

     2.1. Number of Shares. Subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 9.9 hereof,
the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under Awards under the Plan, whether pursuant to
Options, Stock Purchase Awards, Restricted Share Awards or any other award under the Plan shall not
exceed 20,000,000 Shares. No Options to purchase fractional Shares shall be granted and no
fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan. For purposes of this Section 2.1, the Shares
that shall be counted toward such limitation shall include all Shares:

     (1) issued or issuable pursuant to Options that have been or may be
exercised;

     (2) issued or issuable pursuant to Stock Purchase Awards;

     (3) issued as, or subject to issuance as a Restricted Share Award; and

     (4) issued or issuable under any other award granted under the terms of the Plan.

     2.2. Shares Subject to Terminated Awards. The Shares covered by any unexercised
portions of terminated Options granted under Articles 4 and 6, Shares forfeited as provided in
Section 8.2(a) and Shares subject to any Awards which are otherwise surrendered by the Participant
without receiving any payment or other benefit with respect thereto may again be subject to new
Awards under the Plan, other than grants of Options intended to qualify as incentive stock options.
In the event the purchase price of an Option is paid in whole or in part through the delivery of
Shares, the number of Shares issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option shall not again
be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Shares subject to Options, or portions
thereof, which have been surrendered in connection with the exercise of share appreciation rights
shall not again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan.

     2.3. Character of Shares. Shares delivered under the Plan may be authorized and
unissued Shares or Shares acquired by the Company, or both.

     2.4. Limitations on Grants to Individual Participant. Subject to adjustments pursuant
to the provisions of Section 9.9 hereof, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which
Options or stock appreciation rights may be granted hereunder to any employee during any fiscal
year of the Company shall be 4,500,000 Shares (the “Limitation”). If an Option is canceled, the
canceled Option shall continue to be counted toward the Limitation for the year granted. An Option
(or a share appreciation right) that is repriced during any fiscal year is treated as the
cancellation of the Option (or share appreciation right) and a grant of a new Option (or share
appreciation right) for purposes of the Limitation for that fiscal year.

ARTICLE 3.

ELIGIBILITY AND ADMINISTRATION

     3.1. Awards to Employees, Directors and Others. (a) Participants who receive Options
under Articles 4 and 6 hereof (including share appreciation rights under Article 5) (“Optionees”),
Stock Purchase Awards under Article 7 or Restricted Share Awards or other Share-based awards under
Article 8 (in either case, a “Participant”) shall consist of such key officers, employees,
consultants, advisors and directors of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company as the Committee (hereinafter defined) shall select from time to time. The Committee’s
designation of an Optionee or Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate
such person to receive Awards or grants in any other year. The designation of an Optionee or
Participant to receive Awards or grants under one portion of the Plan shall not require the
Committee to include such Optionee or Participant under other portions of the Plan.

2

 

               (b) No Option that is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” may be granted (x) to
any individual that is not an employee of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate
thereof, or (y) to any employee who, at the time of such grant, owns, directly or indirectly
(within the meaning of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code), shares possessing more than 10%
of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any parent,
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, unless at the time of such grant, (i) the option price is
fixed at not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Shares subject to
such Option, determined on the date of the grant, and (ii) the exercise of such Option is
prohibited by its terms after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted.

     3.2. Administration. (a) The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the
“Committee”) consisting of not fewer than two directors of the Company (the directors of the
Company being hereinafter referred to as the “Directors”), as designated by the Directors. The
Directors may remove from, add members to, or fill vacancies in the Committee. Unless otherwise
determined by the Directors, each member of the Committee is intended to be a “Non-Employee
Director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) of the Exchange Act and an
“outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder.

          Any Award to a member of the Committee shall be on terms consistent with Awards made to other
Directors who are not members of the Committee and who are not employees, except where the Award is
approved or ratified by the Compensation Committee (excluding persons who are also members of the
Committee) of the Board of Directors of the Company.

          (b) The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish such
rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the conduct of meetings and proper
administration of the Plan. All actions of the Committee shall be taken by majority vote of its
members. The Committee is also authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to make
provisions in various Awards pertaining to a “change of control” of the Company and to amend or
modify existing Awards.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority, in its sole
discretion, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and any Award thereunder and, subject to the
requirements of applicable law, including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, to prescribe, amend, and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder as it may deem
necessary or advisable. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan
shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its shareholders,
Directors and employees, and Plan participants and beneficiaries.

     3.3. Designation of Consultants/Liability. (a) The Committee may designate employees
of the Company and professional advisors to assist the Committee in the administration of this Plan
and may grant authority to employees to execute agreements or other documents on behalf of the
Committee.

          (b) The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem
desirable for the administration of this Plan and may rely upon any opinion received from any such
counsel or consultant and any computation received from any such consultant or agent. Expenses
incurred by the Committee or the Board in the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent
shall be paid by the Company. The Committee, its members and any person designated pursuant to
Section 3.3(a) shall not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect
to this Plan. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no officer or former officer of
the Company or member or former member of the Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award granted under it.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent not covered by insurance, each
officer or former officer and member or former member of the Committee or of the Board shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense (including reasonable fees
of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement
of a claim with the approval of the Company), and advanced amounts necessary to pay the foregoing
at the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or omission

3

 

to act
in connection with this Plan, except to the extent arising out of such officer’s or former
officer’s, member’s or former member’s own fraud or bad faith. Such indemnification shall be in
addition to any rights of indemnification the officers, directors or members or former officers,
directors or members may have under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else herein, this
indemnification will not apply to the actions or determinations made by an individual with regard
to Awards granted to him or her under this Plan.

ARTICLE 4.

OPTIONS

     4.1. Grant of Options. The Committee shall determine, within the limitations of the
Plan, those key officers, employees, consultants, advisors and Directors of the Company or any
parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to whom Options are to be granted under the Plan,
the number of Shares that may be purchased under each such Option, the option price and other terms
of each such Option, and shall designate such Options at the time of the grant as either “incentive
stock options” or “nonqualified stock options”; provided, however, that Options granted to
employees of an affiliate (that is not also a parent or a subsidiary) or to non-employees of the
Company may only be “nonqualified stock options.”

          All Options granted pursuant to this Article 4 and Article 6 herein shall be authorized by the
Committee and shall be evidenced in writing by share option agreements (“Share Option Agreements”)
in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine that are not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, and, with respect to any Share Option Agreement
granting Options that are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options,” are not inconsistent
with Section 422 of the Code. The granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose no
obligation on the recipient to exercise such Option. Any individual who is granted an Option
pursuant to this Article 4 and Article 6 herein may hold more than one Option granted pursuant to
such Articles at the same time and may hold both “incentive stock options” and “nonqualified stock
options” at the same time. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an “incentive stock
option” (whether because of its provisions, the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise) such
Option or the portion thereof which does not so qualify shall constitute a separate “nonqualified
stock option.”

     4.2. Option Price. (a) Subject to Section 3.1(b), the option exercise price per each
Share purchasable under any “incentive stock option” granted pursuant to this Article 4, any
“nonqualified stock option” granted pursuant to Article 6 herein, or Options intended to be
performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of such Share on the date of the grant of such Option.

          (b) The option price per share of each Share purchasable under any “nonqualified stock option”
that is not intended to be performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and is
granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be such amount as the Committee shall determine at the
time of the grant of such Option.

     4.3. Conditions. Certain Options to be granted under the Plan (the “Replacement
Options”) are intended to provide Optionees with Options that are the economic equivalent of
options received by such Optionees between December 5, 2000 and the date of the adoption of this
Plan from GameStop, Inc. to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock of GameStop, Inc.
(collectively, the “Prior Options”). Any Replacement Option shall be in lieu of, and shall replace
in its entirety, the equivalent Prior Option, which Prior Option shall be null and void and of no
further force or effect, and any Share Option Agreement granting any Replacement Option shall so
provide.

     4.4. Other Provisions. Options granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be made in
accordance with the terms and provisions of Article 9 hereof and any other applicable terms and
provisions of the Plan.

ARTICLE 5.

SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     5.1. Grant and Exercise. Share appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with
all or part of any Option granted under the Plan provided such rights are granted at the time of
the grant of such Option. A “share appreciation right” is a right to receive cash or whole Shares,
as provided in this Article 5, in lieu of the purchase of a Share under a related Option. A share
appreciation right or applicable portion thereof shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon
the termination or exercise of the related Option, and a share appreciation right granted with
respect to less than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option shall not be reduced
until, and then only to the extent that, the exercise or termination of the related Option exceeds
the number of Shares not covered by the share appreciation right. A share appreciation right may
be exercised by the holder thereof (the “Holder”), in accordance with Section 5.2 of this Article
5, by giving written notice thereof to the Company and surrendering the applicable portion of the
related Option. Upon giving such notice and surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to receive an
amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 5.2 of this Article 5. Options which have
been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related
share appreciation rights have been exercised.

     5.2. Terms and Conditions. Share appreciation rights shall be subject to such terms
and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time
to time by the Committee, including the following:

          (a) Share appreciation rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the
extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan.

          (b) Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, a Holder shall be entitled to receive up
to, but no more than, an amount in cash or whole Shares equal to the excess of the then Fair Market
Value of one Share over the option exercise price per Share specified in the related Option
multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the share appreciation right shall have been
exercised. The Holder shall specify in his written notice of exercise, whether payment shall be
made in cash or in whole Shares (unless otherwise provided in the agreement governing the share
appreciation right). Each share appreciation right may be exercised only at the time and so long
as a related Option, if any, would be exercisable or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

          (c) Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, the Option or part thereof to which such
share appreciation right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the
limitation of the number of Shares to be issued under the Plan, as set forth in Section 2.1 of the
Plan.

          (d) With respect to share appreciation rights granted in connection with an Option that is
intended to be an “incentive stock option,” the following shall apply:

               (i) No share appreciation right shall be transferable by a Holder otherwise than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and share appreciation rights shall be exercisable,
during the Holder’s lifetime, only by the Holder.

               (ii) Share appreciation rights granted in connection with an Option may be exercised only
when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option exceeds the option exercise price at
which Shares can be acquired pursuant to the Option.

5

 

ARTICLE 6.

RELOAD OPTIONS

     6.1. Authorization of Reload Options. Concurrently with the award of any Option (such
Option hereinafter referred to as the “Underlying Option”) to any Participant in the Plan, the
Committee may grant one or more reload options (each, a “Reload Option”) to such Participant to
purchase for cash or Shares (held for at least six months or such other period to avoid accounting
charges against the Company’s earnings) a number of Shares as specified below. A Reload Option
shall be exercisable for an amount of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares delivered by the
Optionee to the Company to exercise the Underlying Option, and (ii) to the extent authorized by the
Committee, the number of Shares used to satisfy any tax withholding requirement incident to the
exercise of the Underlying Option, subject to the availability of Shares under the Plan at the time
of such exercise. Any Reload Option may provide for the grant, when exercised, of subsequent
Reload Options to the extent and upon such terms and conditions consistent with this Article 6, as
the Committee in its sole discretion shall specify at or after the time of grant of such Reload
Option. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, a Reload Option will vest and become
exercisable six months after the exercise of an Underlying Option or Reload Option whereby the
Participant delivers to the Company Shares held by the Optionee for at least six months in payment
of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations. Notwithstanding the fact that the
Underlying Option may be an “incentive stock option,” a Reload Option is not intended to qualify as
an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.

     6.2. Reload Option Amendment. Each Share Option Agreement shall state whether the
Committee has authorized Reload Options with respect to the Underlying Option. Upon the exercise
of an Underlying Option or other Reload Option, the Reload Option will be evidenced by an amendment
to the underlying Share Option Agreement.

     6.3. Reload Option Price. The option exercise price per Share deliverable upon the
exercise of a Reload Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the corresponding
Underlying Option is exercised.

     6.4. Term and Exercise. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, each Reload
Option vests and is fully exercisable six months after its grant (i.e., six months after the
corresponding Underlying Option is exercised). The term of each Reload Option shall be equal to
the remaining option term of the Underlying Option.

     6.5. Termination of Employment. No additional Reload Options shall be granted to an
Optionee when Options and/or Reload Options are exercised pursuant to the terms of this Plan
following termination of the Optionee’s employment unless the Committee, in its sole discretion,
shall determine otherwise.

     6.6. Applicability of Other Sections. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6,
the provisions of Article 9 applicable to Options shall apply equally to Reload Options.

ARTICLE 7.

STOCK PURCHASE AWARDS

     7.1. Grant of Stock Purchase Award. The term “Stock Purchase Award” means the right
to purchase Shares of the Company and to pay for such Shares through a loan made by the Company to
the Participant (a “Purchase Loan”) as set forth in this Article 7. Unless otherwise permitted by
law, no executive officer or director of the Company shall be eligible to receive a Stock Purchase
Award.

     7.2. Terms of Purchase Loans. (a) Purchase Loan. Each Purchase Loan shall be
evidenced by a
promissory note. The term of the Purchase Loan shall be for a period of years, as determined
by the Committee, and the proceeds of the Purchase Loan shall be used
exclusively by the Participant for purchase

6

 

 of Shares from the Company at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market
Value on the date of the Stock Purchase Award.

          (b) Interest on Purchase Loan. A Purchase Loan shall be non-interest bearing or shall bear
interest at whatever rate the Committee shall determine (but not in excess of the maximum rate
permissible under applicable law), payable in a manner and at such times as the Committee shall
determine. Those terms and provisions as the Committee shall determine shall be incorporated into
the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan.

          (c) Forgiveness of Purchase Loan. Subject to Section 7.4 hereof, the Company may forgive the
repayment of up to 100% of the principal amount of the Purchase Loan, subject to such terms and
conditions as the Committee shall determine and set forth in the promissory note evidencing the
Purchase Loan. A Participant’s Purchase Loan can be prepaid at any time, and from time to time,
without penalty.

     7.3. Security for Loans. (a) Stock Power and Pledge. Purchase Loans granted to
Participants shall be secured by a pledge of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Award. Such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) containing
such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. The share certificates for the Shares
purchased by a Participant pursuant to a Stock Purchase Award shall be issued in the Participant’s
name, but shall be held by the Company as security for repayment of the Participant’s Purchase Loan
together with a stock power executed in blank by the Participant (the execution and delivery of
which by the Participant shall be a condition to the issuance of the Stock Purchase Award). Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall be entitled to exercise all rights
applicable to such Shares, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Shares and the
right to receive dividends and other distributions made with respect to such Shares. When the
Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon has been repaid or otherwise satisfied in
full, the Company shall deliver to the Participant the share certificates for the Shares purchased
by a Participant under the Stock Purchase Award. Purchase Loans shall be recourse or non-recourse
with respect to a Participant, as determined by the Committee.

          (b) Release and Delivery of Share Certificates During the Term of the Purchase Loan. The
Company shall release and deliver to each Participant certificates for Shares purchased by a
Participant pursuant to a Stock Purchase Award, in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as
the Committee shall determine, which shall be set forth in the Pledge Agreement.

          (c) Release and Delivery of Share Certificates Upon Repayment of the Purchase Loan. The
Company shall release and deliver to each Participant certificates for the Shares purchased by the
Participant under the Stock Purchase Award and then held by the Company, provided the Participant
has paid or otherwise satisfied in full the balance of the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid
interest thereon. In the event the balance of the Purchase Loan is not repaid, forgiven or
otherwise satisfied within 90 days after (i) the date repayment of the Purchase Loan is due
(whether in accordance with its term, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), or (ii) such longer
time as the Committee, in its discretion, shall provide for repayment or satisfaction, the Company
shall retain those Shares then held by the Company in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.

          (d) Recourse Purchase Loans. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3(a), (b) and (c) above, in the case
of a recourse Purchase Loan, the Committee may make a Purchase Loan on such terms as it determines,
including without limitation, not requiring a pledge of the acquired Shares.

     7.4. Termination of Employment. (a) Termination of Employment by Death, Disability or
by the Company Without Cause; Change of Control. In the event of a Participant’s termination of
employment by reason of death, “disability” or by the Company without “cause,” or in the event of a
“change of control,” the Committee shall have the right (but shall not be required) to forgive the
remaining unpaid
amount (principal and interest) of the Purchase Loan in whole or in part as of the date of
such occurrence. “Change of Control,” “disability” and “cause” shall have the respective meanings
as set forth in the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan.

7

 

          (b) Termination of Employment. Subject to Section 7.4(a) above, in the event of a
Participant’s termination of employment for any reason, the Participant shall repay to the Company
the entire balance of the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, which amounts
shall become immediately due and payable, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

     7.5. Restrictions on Transfer. No Stock Purchase Award or Shares purchased through
such an Award and pledged to the Company as collateral security for the Participant’s Purchase Loan
(and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) may be otherwise pledged, sold, assigned or transferred
(other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution).

ARTICLE 8.

SHARE AWARDS

     8.1. Restricted Share Awards. (a) A grant of Shares made pursuant to Sections 8.1 and
8.2 is referred to as a “Restricted Share Award.” The Committee may grant to any Participant an
amount of Shares in such manner, and subject to such terms and conditions relating to vesting,
forfeitability and restrictions on delivery and transfer (whether based on performance standards,
periods of service or otherwise) as the Committee shall establish (such Shares, “Restricted
Shares”). The terms of any Restricted Share Award granted under this Plan shall be set forth in a
written agreement (a “Restricted Share Agreement”) which shall contain provisions determined by the
Committee and not inconsistent with this Plan. The provisions of Restricted Share Awards need not
be the same for each Participant receiving such Awards.

          (b) Issuance of Restricted Shares. As soon as practicable after the date of grant of a
Restricted Share Award by the Committee, the Company shall cause to be transferred on the books of
the Company Shares registered in the name of the Company, as nominee for the Participant,
evidencing the Restricted Shares covered by the Award; provided, however, such Shares shall be
subject to forfeiture to the Company retroactive to the date of grant if a Restricted Share
Agreement delivered to the Participant by the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares covered
by the Award is not duly executed by the Participant and timely returned to the Company. All
Restricted Shares covered by Awards under this Article 8 shall be subject to the restrictions,
terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the Restricted Share Agreement entered into by and
between the Company and the Participant. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable
to an Award of Restricted Shares, the share certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall
be held in custody by the Company or its designee.

          (c) Shareholder Rights. Beginning on the date of grant of the Restricted Share Award and
subject to execution of the Restricted Share Agreement as provided in Sections 8.1(a) and (b),
unless the Restricted Share Agreement provides otherwise, the Participant shall become a
shareholder of the Company with respect to all Shares subject to the Restricted Share Agreement and
shall have all of the rights of a shareholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote
such Shares and the right to receive distributions made with respect to such Shares; provided,
however, that any Shares distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any Restricted
Shares as to which the restrictions have not yet lapsed shall be subject to the same restrictions
as such Restricted Shares and shall be represented by book entry and held as prescribed in Section
8.1(b).

          (d) Restriction on Transferability. None of the Restricted Shares may be assigned or
transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or sold prior to
lapse or release of the restrictions applicable thereto.

          (e) Delivery of Shares Upon Release of Restrictions. Upon expiration or earlier termination
of the forfeiture period without a forfeiture and the satisfaction of or release from any other
conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall
lapse. As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, subject to the requirements of Section
10.1, the Company shall

8

 

deliver to the Participant or, in case of the Participant’s death, to the
Participant’s beneficiary, one or more stock certificates for the appropriate number of Shares,
free of all such restrictions, except for any restrictions that may be imposed by law.

     8.2. Terms of Restricted Shares. (a) Forfeiture of Restricted Shares. Subject to
Section 8.2(b), all Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights
of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Shares shall terminate unless the Participant
continues in the service of the Company as an employee (or Director, consultant or advisor, as the
case may be) until the expiration of the forfeiture period for such Restricted Shares and satisfies
any and all other conditions set forth in the Restricted Share Agreement. The Committee in its
sole discretion, shall determine the forfeiture period (which may, but need not, lapse in
installments) and any other terms and conditions applicable with respect to any Restricted Share
Award and the Committee has the discretion to modify the terms and conditions of a Restricted Share
Award as long as the rights of the Participant are not impaired.

          (b) Waiver of Forfeiture Period. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 8 to the
contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to the limitations imposed under
Code Section 162(m) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder in the case of a Restricted Share Award
intended to comply with the performance-based compensation exception under Code Section 162(m),
waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth at grant in any Restricted Share
Agreement under appropriate circumstances (including the death, disability or retirement of the
Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) as determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion and subject to such terms and conditions (including
forfeiture of a proportionate number of the Restricted Shares) as the Committee shall deem
appropriate.

     8.3. Other Share-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant other Share-based
awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or
related to Shares, including but not limited to, Shares awarded purely as a bonus and not subject
to any restrictions or conditions, Shares in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or
performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of
the Company, share appreciation rights (in tandem with Options), stock equivalent units, and Awards
valued by reference to book value of Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee
shall have authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Awards
shall be made, the number of Shares to be awarded pursuant to or referenced by such Awards, and all
other conditions of the Awards. Grants of other Share-based awards may be subject to such
conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee may determine which may include, but
are not limited to, continuous service with the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of
the Company and/or the achievement of performance goals.

     8.4. Objective Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards. If the grant of Restricted
Shares or other Share-based awards or the lapse of restrictions or vesting of Restricted Shares or
other Share-based awards is based on the attainment of performance goals, the Committee shall
establish the performance goals and the applicable vesting percentage of the Restricted Share Award
or other Share-based award applicable to each Participant or class of Participants in writing prior
to the beginning of the applicable fiscal year or at such later date as otherwise determined by the
Committee and while the outcome of the performance goals are substantially uncertain. Such
performance goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in
accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without
limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.
With regard to a Restricted Share Award or other Share-based award that is intended to comply with
Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent any such provision would create impermissible discretion
under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise violate Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision
shall be of no force or effect. The applicable performance goals shall be based on one or more of
the Performance Criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Other performance goals may be used to the
extent such goals satisfy Section 162(m) of the Code or the Award is not intended to satisfy the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

     8.5. Annual Limitation on Grants of Shares. Subject to adjustments pursuant to the
provisions of Section 9.9 hereof, the maximum number of Shares subject to specified performance
goals intended to

9

 

satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and in accordance with
Section 8.4 hereof that may be granted as Restricted Shares to any employee or subject to any other
Share-based awards to any employee during any fiscal year of the Company shall be 4,500,000 Shares.

ARTICLE 9.

GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS

     9.1. Option Period. Subject to Section 3.1(b), the period for which an Option is
exercisable shall be set by the Committee and shall not exceed ten years from the date such Option
is granted, provided, however, in the case of an Option that is not intended to be an “incentive
stock option,” the Committee may prescribe a period in excess of ten years. After the Option is
granted, the option period may not be reduced, subject to expiration due to termination of
employment.

     9.2. Fair Market Value. If the Shares are listed or admitted to trading on a
securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act, unless otherwise required by any applicable
provision of the Code the “Fair Market Value” of a Share as of a specified date shall mean the
average of the high and low price of the shares for the day immediately preceding the date as of
which Fair Market Value is being determined (or if there was no reported sale on such date, on the
last preceding date on which any reported sale occurred) reported on the principal securities
exchange on which the Shares are listed or admitted to trading. If the Shares are not listed or
admitted to trading on any such exchange but are listed as a national market security on the Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”), traded in the over-the-counter market or listed or traded on any
similar system then in use, the Fair Market Value of a Share shall be the average of the high and
low sales price for the day immediately preceding the date as of which the Fair Market Value is
being determined (or if there was no reported sale on such date, on the last preceding date on
which any reported sale occurred) reported on such system. If the Shares are not listed or
admitted to trading on any such exchange, are not listed as a national market security on NASDAQ
and are not traded in the over-the-counter market or listed or traded on any similar system then in
use, but are quoted on NASDAQ or any similar system then in use, the Fair Market Value of a Share
shall be the average of the closing high bid and low asked quotations on such system for the Shares
on the date in question. If the Shares are not publicly traded, the method for determining Fair
Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Committee in its sole discretion. An Option
shall be considered granted on the date the Committee acts to grant the Option or such later date
as the Committee shall specify.

     9.3. Exercise of Options. Vested Options granted under the Plan shall be exercised by
the Optionee thereof (or by his or her executors, administrators, guardian or legal representative,
or by a Permitted Assignee, as provided in Sections 9.4, 9.6 and 9.7 hereof) as to all or part of
the Shares covered thereby, by the giving of written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying
the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price for the
Shares being purchased. Full payment of such purchase price shall be made at the time of exercise
and shall be made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank check or wire transfer of immediately
available funds, (ii) with the consent of the Committee, unless otherwise prohibited by law, by
delivery of a promissory note in favor of the Company upon such terms and conditions as determined
by the Committee, (iii) with the consent of Committee, by tendering previously acquired Shares
(valued at their Fair Market Value, as determined by the Committee
as of the date of tender) that have been owned for a period of at least six months (or such
other period to avoid accounting charges against the Company’s earnings), or (iv) if Shares are
traded on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ or quoted on a national quotation system
sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Committee authorizes this
method of exercise, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker approved by the
Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price, or (v) with the
consent of the Committee, any combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). In connection with a
tender of previously acquired Shares pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may permit the Optionee to constructively exchange Shares already owned by the Optionee
in lieu of actually tendering such Shares to the Company, provided that adequate documentation
concerning the ownership of the Shares to be constructively tendered is furnished in a form
satisfactory to the Committee. The notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be
delivered to

10

 

the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Committee may
from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions consistent
with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may from time to time prescribe. In no event may
any Option granted hereunder be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Company shall, subject to
Section 10.4 herein, effect the transfer of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option as soon as
practicable, and, within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the
books of the Company. No person exercising an Option shall have any of the rights of a holder of
Shares subject to an Option until certificates for such Shares shall have been issued following the
exercise of such Option. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

     9.4. Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no Award
shall be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. All Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the
Participant. Any attempt to transfer any Award, except as specifically provided herein, shall be
void, and no such Award shall in any manner be subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities,
engagements or torts of any person who shall be entitled to such Award, nor shall it be subject to
attachment or legal process for or against such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may determine at the time of grant or thereafter that an Award (other than (x) an Option
that is intended to be an incentive stock option, (y) a share appreciation right covered by Section
5.2(d)(i) and (z) a Restricted Share Award) that is otherwise not transferable pursuant to this
Section 9.4 is transferable to a Family Member (defined below) in whole or in part and in such
circumstances, and under such conditions as specified by the Committee. An Award that is
transferred to a Family Member pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently
transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains
subject to the terms of this Plan and the Award agreement. “Family Member” means, solely to the
extent provided for in Securities Act Form S-8, any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent,
stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive
relationships, any person sharing the employee’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a
trust in which these persons have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which
these persons (or the employee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which
these persons (or the employee) own more than 50% of the voting interests or as otherwise defined
in Securities Act Form S-8.

     9.5 Termination of Employment. Unless the Committee otherwise determines, in the
event of the termination of employment with the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of
the Company of an Optionee who is an employee or the termination or separation from service with
the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company of an advisor, consultant or a
Director (who is an Optionee) for any reason (other than death or disability as provided below),
any Option(s) granted to such Optionee (or its Permitted Assignee) under this Plan and not
previously exercised or expired, to the extent vested on the date of such termination or
separation, shall be exercisable as of such termination for a period not to exceed three months
after the date of such termination or separation, provided, however, that in no instance may the
term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section
3.1(b)(ii) or 9.1 above.

     9.6 Death. In the event an Optionee dies while employed by the Company or any
parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or while serving as a Director, advisor or
consultant of the Company or any parent, subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, any
Option(s) held by such Optionee (or its Permitted Assignee) and not previously expired or exercised
shall, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, be exercisable by the estate of such
Optionee or by any person who acquired such Option by bequest or inheritance, or by the Permitted
Assignee at any time within one year after the death of the Optionee, unless earlier terminated
pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so
extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 9.1 above.

     9.7. Disability. In the event of the termination of employment with the Company or
any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company of an Optionee or separation from service with
the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company of an Optionee who is a Director,
advisor or consultant of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company due to
total disability, the Optionee, or his

11

 

guardian or legal representative, or a Permitted Assignee
shall have the unqualified right to exercise any Option that has not expired or been previously
exercised and that the Optionee was eligible to exercise as of the first date of total disability
(as determined by the Committee), at any time within one year after such termination or separation,
unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that in no instance may the
term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section
3.1(b)(ii) or 9.1 above. The term “total disability” shall, for purposes of this Plan, be defined
in the same manner as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

     9.8 Terms of Grant. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.5, 9.6 or 9.7 to the
contrary, the Committee may grant an Option under such terms and conditions as may be provided in
the Share Option Agreement given to the Optionee and the Committee has the discretion to modify the
terms and conditions of an Option after grant as long as no rights of the Participant are impaired,
provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the
maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 9.1 above.

     9.9. Adjustments. In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend
or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities, the
issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar
corporate transaction or event affects the Shares with respect to which Options have been or may be
issued under the Plan, such that an adjustment is determined in good faith by the Committee to be
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as the
Committee may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares that
thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares subject to
outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Option, or, if deemed
appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of any outstanding Option; provided,
in each case, that with respect to “incentive stock options,” no such adjustment shall be
authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause such options to violate Section 422(b) of
the Code or any successor provision; and provided further, that the number of Shares subject to any
Option denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number. In the event of any reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or other business combination involving the Company
(each, a “Reorganization”), the Committee may cause any Award outstanding as of the effective date
of the Reorganization to be canceled in consideration of a cash payment made to or an alternate
Award (whether from the Company or another entity that is a party to the Reorganization), or a
combination thereof, the holder of such canceled Award substantially equivalent in value to the
fair market value of such canceled Award. The determination of fair market value shall be made by
the Committee in its sole discretion.

     9.10. Amendment and Modification of the Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board
of
Directors of the Company may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan
as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for shareholder approval imposed by
applicable law, including without limitation Sections 162(m) and 422 of the Code, or any rule of
any stock exchange or quotation system on which Shares are listed or quoted; provided that such
Compensation Committee may not amend the Plan, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders,
to increase the number of Shares that may be the subject of Options under the Plan (except for
adjustments pursuant to Section 9.9 hereof). In addition, no amendments to, or termination of, the
Plan shall in any way impair the rights of an Optionee or a Participant (or a Permitted Assignee
thereof) under any Award previously granted without such Optionee’s or Participant’s consent.

     9.11. Validity of Awards. The validity of any Award or grant of Options made pursuant
to this Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the compliance or
noncompliance with Section 162(m) of the Code or Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE 10.

MISCELLANEOUS

     10.1. Tax Withholding. The Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company shall have the right to make all payments or distributions made pursuant to the Plan to an
Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) net of any applicable federal, state and
local taxes required to be paid as a result of the grant of any Award, exercise of an Option or
stock appreciation rights or any other event occurring pursuant to this Plan. The Company or any
parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall have the right to withhold from wages or other
payments otherwise payable to such Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) such
withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Optionee or Participant
(or a Permitted Assignee thereof) to pay such withholding taxes. If the Optionee or Participant
(or a Permitted Assignee thereof) shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company
or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have
the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Optionee or
Participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding
obligations. In satisfaction of the requirement to pay required withholding taxes, the Optionee or
Participant (or Permitted Assignee) may make a written election, which may be accepted or rejected
in the discretion of the Committee, to have withheld a portion of the Shares then issuable to the
Optionee (or Permitted Assignee) pursuant to the Plan, having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal
to the required withholding taxes.

     10.2. Right of Discharge Reserved. Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award
hereunder shall confer upon any employee, Director, consultant, advisor or other individual the
right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company or affect any right that the Company or any parent, subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company may have to terminate the employment or service of (or to demote or to
exclude from future Awards under the Plan) any such employee, Director, consultant, advisor or
other individual at any time for any reason. Except as specifically provided by the Committee, the
Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit with respect to an Award
in the event of termination of an employment or other relationship even if the termination is in
violation of an obligation of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to
the Optionee or Participant.

     10.3. Unfunded Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan shall be
unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The
Plan shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company or any parent, subsidiary
or affiliate of the Company and any Optionee, Participant or other person. To the extent any
Optionee or Participant holds any rights by virtue of any grant or award made under the Plan, such
rights shall constitute general unsecured liabilities of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company and shall not confer upon any participant any right, title, or interest in
any assets of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

     10.4. Legend. All certificates for Shares delivered under this Plan shall be subject
to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the
rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock
exchange upon which the Shares are then listed or any national securities association system upon
whose system the Shares are then quoted, any applicable Federal or state securities law, and any
applicable corporate law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     10.5. Listing and Other Conditions. (a) As long as the Shares are listed on a
national securities exchange or system sponsored by a national securities association, the issue of
any Shares pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such Shares being listed on such exchange
or system. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver such Shares unless and until such
Shares are so listed; provided,
however, that any delay in the delivery of such Shares shall be based solely on a reasonable
business decision and the

13

 

right to exercise any Option with respect to such Shares shall be
suspended until such listing has been effected.

          (b) If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of
Shares pursuant to any Award is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition
of excise taxes on the Company under the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable
jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any
application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or otherwise with respect to Shares or Award, and the right to any Award shall
be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will
not result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company.

          (c) Upon termination of any period of suspension under this Section 10.5, any Award affected
by such suspension which shall not then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to all
shares available before such suspension and as to shares which would otherwise have become
available during the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of any
Option.

          (d) A Participant shall be required to supply the Company with any certificates,
representations and information that the Company requests and otherwise cooperate with the Company
in obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, exemption, consent or approval the Company
deems necessary or appropriate.

     10.6. Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Committee shall notify each Optionee and Participant as soon as
practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Committee in its sole
discretion may permit an Optionee to exercise an Option until ten days prior to such transaction
with respect to all vested and exercisable Shares covered thereby and with respect to such number
of unvested Shares as the Committee shall determine. In addition, the Committee may provide that
any forfeiture provision or Company repurchase option applicable to any Restricted Share Award
shall lapse as to such number of Shares as the Committee shall determine, contingent upon the
occurrence of the proposed dissolution or liquidation at the time and in the manner contemplated.
To the extent an Option has not been previously exercised, the Option shall terminate automatically
immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed action. To the extent a forfeiture provision
applicable to a Restricted Share Award has not been waived by the Committee, the related Restricted
Share Award shall be forfeited automatically immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed
action.

     10.7. Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise
invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in
full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required
under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such unlawfulness,
invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or
provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other
benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable,
then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent such payment or benefit
from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or
unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or
unenforceable shall be made or provided under the Plan.

     10.8. Gender and Number. In order to shorten and to improve the understandability of
the Plan document by eliminating the repeated usage of such phrases as “his or her” and any
masculine terminology herein shall also include the feminine, and the definition of any term herein
in the singular shall also include the plural except when otherwise indicated by the context.

     10.9. Effective Date of Plan; Termination of Plan. The Plan shall be effective on the
date of the
approval of the Plan by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon,
provided such approval is obtained within 12 months after the date of adoption of the Plan by the
Board of Directors.

14

 

Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time after
the effective date of the Plan and on or prior to August 21, 2011, on which date the Plan will
expire except as to Awards and related share appreciation rights then outstanding under the Plan.
Such outstanding Awards and stock appreciation rights shall remain in effect until they have been
exercised or terminated, or have otherwise expired.

     10.10. Nature of Payments. All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration
of services performed for the Company and any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. Any
income or gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan and any share appreciation rights
constitutes a special incentive payment to the Optionee, Participant or Holder and shall not be
taken into account, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as compensation for purposes of
any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company, except as may be determined by the Committee or by the Directors or directors of the
applicable parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

     10.11. Captions. The captions in this Plan are for convenience of reference only, and
are not intended to narrow, limit or affect the substance or interpretation of the provisions
contained herein.

     10.12. Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the Participants.

     10.13 Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken
thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States,
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly.

ARTICLE 11.

PUBLIC OFFERING

     11.1. General. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of
its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities
Act of 1933, including the Company’s initial public offering, the Committee may, in its discretion,
determine that a person shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant
any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer for value or otherwise agree to
engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any Shares issued pursuant to an Award
granted under the Plan without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such
limitations shall be in effect for such period of time as may be requested by the Company or such
underwriters and agreed to by the Company’s officers and directors with respect to their Shares;
provided, however, that in no event shall such period exceed 180 days. The limitations of this
Article 11 shall in all events terminate two years after the effective date of the Company’s
initial public offering. Holders of Shares issued pursuant to an Award granted under the Plan
shall be subject to the provisions of this Article 11 only if the officers and directors of the
Company are also subject to similar arrangements.

     11.2. Subsequent Changes. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of Shares or other change affecting the Company’s
outstanding common stock effected as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, any
new, substituted or additional securities distributed with respect to the purchased shares shall be
immediately subject to the provisions of this Article 11, to the same extent the purchased shares
are at such time covered by such provisions.

     11.3. Stop-Transfer. In order to enforce the limitations of this Article 11, the
Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the purchased Shares until the end of
the applicable period.

Exhibit 10.6

GAMESTOP CORP.

SUPPLEMENTAL COMPENSATION PLAN

     GameStop Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby adopts the GameStop Corp.
Supplemental Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Company intends that bonus compensation payable
pursuant to this Plan shall constitute “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
and the regulations from time to time promulgated thereunder.

     1. Purposes of Plan. The purposes of the Plan are to provide personal incentive and
financial rewards to senior management who, because of the extent of their responsibilities, can
and do make significant contributions to the success of the Corporation by their ability, industry,
loyalty and exceptional services, by making them participants in that success.

     2. Eligible Employees. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), the
Company’s Chief Operating Officer (the “COO”), and such other executive officers of the Company as
may from time to time be designated as Plan participants by the Committee (as defined herein),
shall be eligible to receive cash bonus awards under the Plan. The CEO, the COO and each other
executive officer designated by the Committee concurrently with or prior to the establishment of
the applicable Target pursuant to Section 6 below for any Plan Year (or, if later, prior to the
commencement of such individual’s service as an executive officer or such other time as shall be
specified under Section 162(m)) shall be an “Eligible Participant” for such Plan Year. The
Committee’s designation of a participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate
such person to be a participant in any other year.

     3. Plan Year. The Plan Year shall be the fiscal year of the Company. The Company’s
fiscal year ending January 31, 2004 shall be the first Plan Year.

     4. Effective Date. The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2003 and
shall become effective upon approval of the material terms hereof by the Company’s stockholders in
accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m).

     5. Administration.

          (a) The Committee. The term “Committee” as used herein shall mean the Committee of the Board
of Directors or such other committee of the Board of Directors designated to administer this Plan,
in either case consisting of two or more members of the Board and with each such member qualifying
as an outside director as defined under Section 162(m).

          (b) Authority. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall interpret the Plan
and the awards granted under the Plan, shall make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan and shall correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile
any inconsistency in the Plan or in any award, in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems
desirable to carry the Plan or award into effect.

          (c) Procedure. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by not less than a majority
of its members at a meeting at which a quorum is present. A majority of the entire Committee shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Any action required or permitted to be taken
at a meeting of the Committee may be taken without a meeting, if a unanimous written consent which
sets forth the action is signed by each member of the Committee and filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of the Committee. No member of the Committee shall be liable, in the absence of bad
faith, for any act or omission with respect to his services. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing or the scope of any
applicable provision of the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws or any indemnification

1

 

 agreement, no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any award granted thereunder.

     6. Awards. Not later than 90 days after the commencement of each Plan Year (and
before 25% of the relevant period of service for each Eligible Participant has elapsed), the
Committee shall establish in writing separately for each Eligible Participant (a) the percentage of
such Eligible Participant’s base salary that shall be the subject of an award and (b) a performance
target (the “Target”), the attainment of which shall be substantially uncertain.

     The Committee may establish performance targets based on one or more of the following
performance measures (either individually or in any combination): net sales; pretax income before
allocation of corporate overhead and bonus; budget; earnings per share; net income; division, group
or corporate financial goals; return on stockholders’ equity; return on assets; attainment of
strategic and/or operational initiatives; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the
Class A common stock or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company; market share; gross
profits; earnings before taxes; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization; economic value-added models; comparisons with various stock
market indices and/or similar companies; and/or reductions in costs.

     Targets which are based in whole or part on per share amounts, such as earnings per share,
shall be, and, at the discretion of the Committee, any other Targets may be, subject to adjustment
for recapitalizations, dividends, stock splits and reverse splits, reorganizations, issuances of
additional shares, redemptions of shares, option or warrant exercises, reclassifications,
significant acquisitions and divestitures or other extraordinary events.

     Each Eligible Participant will receive a cash bonus in the amount of the pre-determined
percentage of his or her base salary (the “Target Bonus”) as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Then the Percentage of the	 
	If the Plan Year Results were:	 	Target Bonus Received is:	 
	Less than 85% of Target
	 	None
	85% or more but less than 90% of Target
	 	 	50	%
	90% or more but less than 100% of Target
	 	 	75	%
	100% or more but less than 110% of Target
	 	 	100	%
	110% or more but less than 125% of Target
	 	 	110	%
	125% or more of Target
	 	 	125	%

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the maximum cash bonus payable to any
Eligible Participant under the Plan exceed $1,500,000 with respect to any Plan Year. Cash bonuses
will not become payable and will not be paid until the Committee certifies the extent to which the
Target has been attained.

     The pre-determined percentage for any one participant and/or the performance measures or
targets relating thereto may be different than or the same as that of any other participant and, as
for each participant, may be different than or the same as applied to such participant in any prior
year.

     7. Form and Payment of Awards. Awards to Eligible Participants shall be made only
when the Committee has certified that the Targets have been attained. Awards shall be made in cash
and shall be payable in a lump sum.

     All awards shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund
shall be established and no other segregation of assets shall be made to assure the payment of
awards
hereunder. An Eligible Participant shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or
to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder.
Nothing contained in this instrument, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create
or be construed to create a trust of

2

 

any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Company and
an Eligible Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to
receive payments from the Company, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured
creditor.

     If an Employee dies or becomes incapacitated, any award so made shall be paid to his estate or
legal representative at such time and in such manner as if he were living or not incapacitated.

     8. Amendment. The Board retains the authority to amend the Plan, subject to the
stockholder approval requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.
