CAF
HOLDINGS, INC. 2001 
MANAGEMENT STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 
1.    Title and Purpose.    This plan shall be known as the
2001 CAF Holdings, Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan (as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, this “Plan”). This Plan is intended to promote the long-term growth and profitability of CAF Holdings Inc., a Virginia
corporation (the “Company”), by providing those persons who are involved in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ growth with an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company, thereby encouraging such persons to
contribute to and participate in the success of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to remain in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employ. Under this Plan, the Company may issue and sell shares of its Common Stock and Preferred Stock
(the “Shares”), to those eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants, and advisors of the Company or its Subsidiaries as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) may select and approve from
time to time (each a “Participant”). The Board has adopted this Plan. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 13 of this Plan. 
 
2.    Administration.    The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have full power, on behalf of the Company, to: (a) construe and interpret this Plan and each
Subscription Agreement; (b) establish and amend rules for the administration of this Plan; (c)issue Shares, and authorize the Company to enter into Subscription Agreements under this Plan; (d) correct any defect or omission and reconcile any
inconsistency in this Plan or in any Subscription Agreements, as applicable, to the extent the Committee deems desirable to carry into effect this Plan or the terms of the Subscription Agreements, respectively; and (e) determine who is eligible to
be a Participant hereunder. The Committee may act by a majority of a quorum present at a meeting or by an instrument executed by a majority of its members. All actions taken and decisions made by the Committee pursuant to this Plan shall be binding
and conclusive on all persons interested in this Plan. The validity, construction and effect of this Plan and any rules and regulations relating to this Plan shall be determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and rules and
regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. No member of the Committee and no officer of the Company shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such member, by any other member of the Board, or by any officer of the Company in
connection with the performance of duties under this Plan, except for such person’s own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. All expenses associated with the administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

 
3.    Capital Stock
Reserved for this Plan.    An aggregate of 3,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock shall be reserved for issuance under this Plan, subject to appropriate adjustment by the Committee in the event
of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in the Company’s capital stock. In order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights of Common Stock and
Preferred Stock issued or sold under this Plan generally, in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, the
Committee may make appropriate changes in the number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock covered by Subscription Agreements and the prices specified therein. 
 

4.    Limitation on Issuance of
Shares.    The Company shall not issue or sell a greater number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to this Plan than is contemplated by Section 3 without the requisite approval of the Board in accordance
with Section 11. 
 
5.    Shares. 
 
(a)    Issuance of Shares.    The Committee shall have the right and power to issue and sell Common Stock and Preferred Stock to any Participant at any time prior to the termination of
this Plan, in such quantity, at such price, on such terms and subject to such conditions as are consistent with this Plan and established by the Committee. The shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock issued to each Participant shall be subject to
all of the terms and conditions contained in this Plan, except as to any Participant to the extent otherwise set forth in a Subscription Agreement between the Company and such Participant. Upon the termination of any Participant’s employment
with any of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from such Participant and his or her transferees, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6 and such additional terms and conditions as
may be approved by the Committee, all of the Shares originally issued to such Participant. Except for issuances pursuant to Section 6(g), if any of the Shares are repurchased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6, such
Shares shall not again be available for issuance and sale under this Plan. 
 
(b)    Written Agreements.    As a condition to the purchase of any Shares by any Participant under this Plan, each Participant shall enter into a
Subscription Agreement, and the Participant’s ownership of, ability to transfer, and other rights and obligations with respect to, such securities shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan, such Subscription Agreement
and the Articles of Incorporation. 
 
6.    Repurchase of Shares. 
 
(a)    Repurchase Option.    If a Participant ceases to be employed by any of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, including upon such Participant’s death,
Disability, resignation or termination with or without Cause, all Shares in respect of such Participant, whether held by such Participant or any other Person to whom such Participant’s Shares have been transferred, will be subject to repurchase
by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Repurchase Option”). 
 
(i)    Termination Without Cause; Death or Disability; Resignation.    If a
Participant’s employment with any of the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates as a result of: (A) a termination without Cause; (B) death or Disability; (C) Participant’s resignation; or (D) any reason not covered by Section 6(a)(ii)
below, then the Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of such Participant’s Shares at a price per share equal to the Fair Market Value thereof as of the Termination Date. 
 

- 2 - 

 
(ii)    Termination with Cause.    If a Participant’s employment with any of the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates with Cause, then the Company may elect to purchase all or
any portion of such Participant’s Shares at a price per share equal to the lesser of Fair Market Value thereof as of the Termination Date and the Original Cost. 
 
(b)    Repurchase Procedures.    After termination of a
Participant’s employment with any of the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason, the Company may elect to exercise the right to repurchase all or any portion of such Participant’s Shares (in the amounts and for the prices set forth in
Sections 6(a)(i) and 6(a)(ii)) pursuant to the Repurchase Option by delivering written notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) to such Participant or any other holders of such Participant’s Shares at any time prior to the expiration of the
90 day period commencing on the Termination Date. The Repurchase Notice shall set forth the number of Shares to be acquired from such Participant and such other holder(s), the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and the time and place
for the closing of the transaction. The number of Shares to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Shares held by such Participant at the time of delivery of the Repurchase Notice. If the number of
Shares then held by such Participant is less than the total number of Shares the Company has elected to purchase, then the other holders thereof shall sell to the Company the remaining Shares elected to be purchased, pro rata from such holders
according to the number of Shares held by each such holder at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice (determined as close as practical to the nearest whole number of shares). 
 
(c)    Closing.    The closing of the transactions
contemplated by this Section 6 will take place on the date designated by the Company in the Repurchase Notice, which date will not be more than 60 days after the delivery of the Repurchase Notice. At its option, the Company will pay for the Shares
to be purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Option by, (A) delivery of a check payable to the holder(s) of such Shares; or (B) where permitted by applicable law, delivery of a subordinated note or notes payable in up to three (3) equal annual
installments, with the first installment due on the first anniversary of the closing of such purchase, and bearing interest (payable quarterly in cash or, at the Company’s election, in additional notes of the same tenor) at a rate per annum
equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, or (C) any combination of (A) and (B) in the aggregate amount of the purchase price for such Shares. In addition, the Company may pay the purchase price for such
Shares by offsetting amounts outstanding under any indebtedness or obligations owed by the applicable Participant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any obligations of the Company under any notes issued by the Company pursuant to this
Section 6(c) shall be subject to any restrictive covenants to which the Company is subject at the time of such purchase. The Company will receive customary representations and warranties from the applicable Participant and any other selling holders
of Shares regarding the sale of the applicable Shares, including but not limited to the representation that such seller has good and marketable title to such Shares to be transferred, free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances.

 

- 3 - 

 
(d)    Restrictions on Repurchase.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan or any applicable Subscription Agreement, all repurchases of Shares by the Company
shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ debt and equity financing agreements. If any such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Shares
hereunder that the Company is otherwise entitled to make, the time periods in this Section 6 with respect to such repurchase shall be suspended until the Company is permitted to do so under such restrictions or until such restrictions lapse, so that
the Company shall be entitled to thereafter exercise its rights under this Section 6. 
 
(e)    Termination of Repurchase Option.    The Repurchase Option described in Section 6(a)(i) shall terminate upon an Initial Public Offering.

 
(f)    California
Residents.    In order to comply with applicable California state law, this Section 6 shall be amended for all Participants who are California residents as set forth in the Supplement attached to the Subscription Agreement
for each Participant who is a California resident. 
 
(g)    Issuance in Connection with Repurchase Option.    No later than 45 days following the Company’s exercise of a Repurchase Option, the Company may, in accordance with the terms
of the Plan (including, without limitation, the approval of the Committee), issue a number of Shares to one or more of the Company’s executive officers (who shall have been designated by the Company’s chief executive officer) not to
exceed, in the aggregate, the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to such Repurchase Option. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6(g) to the contrary, the price that such executive officers shall pay for the Shares purchased
pursuant to this Section 6(g) shall equal the price that the Company paid in connection with the exercise of its Repurchase Option. 
 
7.    Restrictions on Transfer of Securities.    Participants under this Plan may not sell,
pledge, assign or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of (“Transfer”) any interest in any Shares except pursuant to a Public Sale or the provisions of Sections 6 or 9 (“Exempt Transfers”) and except pursuant to
applicable laws of descent and distribution; provided, the restrictions contained in this Section shall continue to be applicable to all Shares after any Transfer pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution and after the transferees of such
Shares have agreed in writing delivered to the Company prior to such Transfer to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer in violation of this Section shall be void. 
 
8.    Additional Restrictions on
Transfer. 
 
(a)    Restrictive Legend.    All certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend in addition to any legend required by applicable state law:

or any securities, options or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten registered public offering, unless
the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree. 
 
(c)    Opinion of Counsel.    Participants may not Transfer any Shares (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering
to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company that registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law is not required in connection with such Transfer. The Committee may
waive this requirement in respect of any Transfer without waiving this requirement in respect of any other Transfer.

limitation, shall execute the applicable purchase agreement, and shall vote all Shares to approve such transaction. 
 
(c)    Representations and Warranties.    In any Approved Sale, (i) each Participant (and
each other holder of Shares) shall be obligated to make representations and warranties as to such holder’s title to and ownership of Shares, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents by such holder, enforceability of relevant
agreements against such holder and other matters relating to such holder, to enter into covenants in respect of a Transfer of such holder’s Shares as necessary or desirable for such Approved Sale and to enter into indemnification obligations
with respect to the foregoing, in each case to the extent that each of the Required Sponsors is similarly obligated; provided, no holder of Shares shall be obligated to enter into indemnification obligations with respect to any of the foregoing to
the extent relating to the breach by any other holder of the Shares of any such other holder’s representations or warranties or other obligations; and (ii) in no event shall any holder of Shares be liable in respect of any indemnity obligations

of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to such Approved Sale; and (ii) if any holder of Shares is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each holder of Shares will be given the same option. 
 
(e)    Expenses of Approved
Sale.    Each Participant (or any other holder of Shares) shall bear its pro rata share (as if such expenses reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution as contemplated by Section 9(d) of the costs of any sale
of Shares pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all holders of Shares and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. For purposes of this Section 9(e), costs incurred in
exercising reasonable efforts to take all necessary actions in connection with the consummation of an Approved Sale in accordance with Section 9(a) shall be deemed to be for the benefit of all holders of Shares. Costs incurred by any holder
of Shares on its own behalf will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder and will be the responsibility of such holder.

10.    Additional Provisions. 
 
(a)    Listing, Registration and Compliance with Laws and Regulations.    All Shares issued pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the
Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal securities or other law or regulation of such Shares, or the consent or approval of any
governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to or in connection with such issuance, no other Shares be issued unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free
of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The recipient of such Shares will supply the Company with such certificates, representations and information as the Company shall request and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining
such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval. If the Company, as part of an offering of securities or otherwise, finds it desirable because of federal or state regulatory requirements to reduce the period during which any Shares
may be issued, the Committee may, in its discretion and without the holders’ consent, so reduce such period on not less than 10 days’ written notice to the holders thereof. Nothing contained herein shall obligate the Company to register
any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other securities under any federal or state securities laws. 
 
(b)    Taxes.    The Company shall be entitled, if the Company deems it necessary or
desirable, to withhold (or secure payment from a Participant in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax due with respect to any amount payable and/or shares issuable under this Plan, and the Company may defer such payment or
issuance unless indemnified to its satisfaction. 
 
(c)    No Right to Employment Conferred.    Nothing in this Plan or (in the absence of an express provision to the contrary) in a Subscription Agreement shall confer on any Participant
any right to continue in the employment of the Company or its Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate such Participant’s employment at any time for any reason or to continue such
Participant’s present (or any other) rate of compensation. 
 
(d)    Securities Compliance.    The Company’s securities shall be offered under this Plan pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act

between the Company and the Participants, and that no such offer or issuance shall be made for capital raising purposes. 
 
11.    Amendment.    At any time the Board may make such additions or
amendments as it deems advisable under this Plan, including increasing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock issuable hereunder except that it may not, without further approval by the Company’s shareholders and the
requisite approval of the Board, change the class of employees to whom Shares may be issued and sold under this Plan.

in its entirety, as follows: 
 
“Termination Date means November 5, 2003.” 
 
(b) Letters of Credit. The following Section 2.7 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement: 
 
“SECTION 2.7 Letter of Credit Borrowings. 
 
(a) The Lender may, at its sole discretion, during the term of this Agreement, issue letters
of credit from time to time for the account of one or more of the Borrowers in such maximum amounts as may be requested by Hibbett, in its capacity as agent for the Borrowers under Section 2.1(b) hereof, and as shall be approved by the Lender, up to
a maximum aggregate amount issued at any one time that, when added to the then outstanding Credit Obligations, does not exceed the Maximum Credit Amount. 
 
(b) Each request by the Borrower for the issuance of a letter of credit shall be on the Lender’s then standard
application form for letters of credit, shall be subject to such documentation as Lender may require, and shall be submitted a reasonable time in advance of the date on which the letter of credit is proposed to be issued. The terms, conditions and
fees for issuance of a letter of credit shall be governed by the agreements executed in connection therewith. 
 
(c) The Maximum Credit Amount under this Agreement shall be reduced in an amount equal to the maximum amount available to
be drawn under each letter of credit issued by Lender for the account of one or more of the Borrowers for so long as each letter of credit remains in effect. 
 
(d) Termination of this Agreement by its terms will have no effect upon any letters of credit that remain outstanding
after such termination date. Such letters of credit will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable agreements described in paragraph (b) above.” 
 
(c) Amendment of Defined Terms. The following defined terms in the Credit Agreement
are amended as indicated below: 
 
(1) All amounts that are due and payable or are due to be reimbursed to the Lender in connection with letters of credit issued in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement shall be included within the defined term
“Credit Obligations.” 
 
(2) All documents and agreements executed in connection with letters of credit issued in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement shall be included within the defined term “Loan Documents.” 
 
(3) The following language is hereby added to
the end of the definition of the defined term “Funded Debt”: “. . ., but excluding in any event any amounts advanced hereunder in form of letters of credit under Section 2.7 hereof.” 
 
5. Loan Documents to Remain in Effect. Except
expressly amended herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. 
 
6. No Novation, etc. Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed to constitute a novation of the terms
of the Loan Documents, nor impair any Liens granted to the Lender thereunder, nor 

release any person from liability for any of the Credit Obligations, nor affect any of the rights, powers or remedies of the Lender under the
Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision thereof. 
 
7. Governing Law, Successors and Assigns, etc. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
 
8. Headings. The descriptive headings of the sections of this Amendment are for convenient reference only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

 
9. Entire Agreement. This
Amendment constitutes the entire understanding to date of the parties hereto regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof. 
 
10. Severability. If any
provision of this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 
11. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 
12. No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be construed as a waiver or
acknowledgment of, or consent to any breach of or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 
13. Effect of this Amendment. This Amendment amends and supplements the Credit Agreement and shall be construed as if it is
a part thereof for all purposes. Any representation or warranty contained herein that is determined by the Lender to have been misleading or untrue in any material respect at the time made shall constitute an Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement as if such representation or warranty had been contained in the Credit Agreement, and any default by the Borrowers in the performance or observance of any
provision of this Amendment that continues unremedied after the grace period described in Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under that section as if such provision had been contained in the Credit Agreement.
