 April 11, 2007 
 Nicholas P. Shepherd 
 c/o Blockbuster Inc. 
 1201 Elm Street 
 Dallas, Texas 75270 
 Dear Nicholas: 
 Blockbuster Inc. (“Blockbuster”)
and you previously entered into an employment agreement dated October 10, 2001 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which you originally served as Executive Vice President Merchandising and Chief Concept Officer of Blockbuster and currently
serve as Executive Vice President and President, Worldwide Stores. Paragraph 17 of the Agreement provides that the Agreement may be modified only by a written document signed by you and a duly authorized officer of Blockbuster. 
 Your Agreement was modified pursuant to a written agreement entered into between you and Blockbuster dated March 1, 2003. 
 Blockbuster and you now desire to further amend the Agreement (this “Amendment”) as set forth herein. 
 As used in this Amendment, terms that begin with an initial capital letter have the same meanings as such terms have in the Agreement unless a contrary
meaning is specified in this Amendment. 
 For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Blockbuster and you agree to amend the Agreement effective April 11, 2007 as follows: 
 1. The last sentence of Paragraph 2 shall be
amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 2. You will be Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of
Blockbuster, and you agree to perform all duties reasonable and consistent with that or such comparable office as the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) of Blockbuster or any individual designated by the CEO may assign to you from time to
time; effective April 11, 2007, you shall no longer serve as Executive Vice President and President, Worldwide Stores of Blockbuster. 
 2. Section (a) of Paragraph 3 shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 (a) Salary. For
all the services rendered by you in any capacity under this Agreement, Blockbuster agrees to pay you an annualized salary of seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000) (“Salary”) payable in accordance with 

 
Blockbuster’s payroll practices, as they may exist from time to time, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes. 
 3. Section (b)(i) of Paragraph 3 shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 (i) Your target bonus (“Target Bonus”) for each calendar year will be 60% of your Salary on November 1 of the applicable
calendar year. 
 4. A new section (c) of Paragraph 3 shall be incorporated to read as follows: 
 (c) Equity Grant. Effective April 11, 2007, you are granted a Non-Qualified Stock Option (the “Option”) to purchase
500,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Blockbuster Inc. 2004 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan, as amended. The right to purchase 166,666 shares shall vest on April 11, 2009, the right to purchase an additional 166,667 shares shall
vest on April 11, 2010, and the right to purchase the remaining 166,667 shares shall vest on April 11, 2011, provided that in each case you remain in the employ of Blockbuster or any of its Subsidiaries through the vesting date. The
exercise price for the Option shall be the closing price of the Common Stock on April 11, 2007. Unless otherwise determined by Blockbuster, no acceleration of the Option shall occur in connection with your termination of employment for any
reason. 
 Capitalized terms used in this section (c) of Paragraph 3 and not defined herein shall have the meaning set
forth in the Blockbuster Inc. 2004 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan. This section (c) of paragraph 3 shall constitute a stock option agreement made pursuant to the Blockbuster Inc. 2004 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan. Except as provided
in this section (c) of Paragraph 3, the Option shall be governed by the terms of the 2004 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan. 
 5. A new section (d) of Paragraph 3 shall be added to read as follows: 
 (d) Retention Bonus. If you
remain employed by Blockbuster or any of its Subsidiaries through June 30, 2008, you will receive a lump sum payment payable as soon as administratively feasible after June 30, 2008, of $1,120,000 (the “Retention Bonus”);
provided, however, the payment of the Retention Bonus shall be subject to the following conditions. First, you must remain employed with Blockbuster or any of its Subsidiaries through June 30, 2008 and a termination for any reason, whether
voluntary or involuntary prior to June 30, 2008, will result in the forfeiture of any rights to the Retention Bonus. Second, if you are terminated without Cause on or after June 30, 2008 and on or before December 31, 2008, and you are
entitled to any termination payments pursuant to this Agreement, such termination payments shall be reduced by the amount of the Retention Bonus paid to you, provided that no such reduction shall result in a payment by you to Blockbuster. Finally,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are promoted to CEO prior June 30, 2008, Blockbuster shall not be contractually obligated to pay any portion of the Retention Bonus regardless of whether you are 

  

 2 

 
still employed by Blockbuster or any of its Subsidiaries on June 30, 2008, but retains the discretion to voluntarily pay any or all of the Retention
Bonus. 
 6. No other terms or provisions of the Agreement are changed or amended by this Amendment except as expressly provided above and no
rights with respect to the Agreement are waived hereby by either party thereto. 
 If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding,
please sign, date, and return all four (4) copies of this Amendment to the undersigned for execution on behalf of Blockbuster.

 (ii) offering to repurchase all 2017 Debentures tendered; 
 (iii) setting forth the payment date for the repurchase of the 2017 Debentures, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed; 
 (iv) if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, stating that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on a Change of Control
Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in such notice; 
 (v) disclosing that any 2017 Debenture not tendered
for repurchase will continue to accrue interest; and 
 (vi) specifying the procedures for tendering 2017 Debentures. 
 (c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2017 Debentures as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2017 Debentures, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event
provisions of the 2017 Debentures by virtue of such conflict. 
 (d) On the repurchase date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event,
the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2017 Debentures or portions
thereof properly tendered; and

principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any 2017 Debentures surrendered; provided that each new 2017 Debenture will be in a principal amount of an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 (f) The Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2017 Debentures upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes
such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all 2017 Debentures properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 (g) Solely for purposes of this Section 210 in connection with the 2017 Debentures, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 “Below Investment Grade Ratings Event” means that on any day within the 60-day period (which period shall be extended so long as
the rating of the 2017 Debentures is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) after the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control; or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of
a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control, the 2017 Debentures are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event otherwise
arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of
Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing that the reduction was the result, in whole
or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of such ratings event). 

“Change of Control” means the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of
which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company, its subsidiaries, or such subsidiaries’ employee benefit plans, becomes the beneficial
owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined Voting Power of the Company’s voting stock or other voting stock into which the Company’s voting stock is
reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed measured by voting power rather than number of shares. 
  

 -5- 

 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a
Below Investment Grade Ratings Event. 
 “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent
under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency
or Rating Agencies selected by the Company. 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 
 “Rating Agency” means (a) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (b) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the 2017
Debentures or fails to make a rating of the 2017 Debentures publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F)
under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company and as certified by the Company’s board of directors as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc. 
 “Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the
capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

 Section 310.
Change of Control. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to
redeem all 2037 Debentures in accordance with the redemption terms as set forth in the 2037 Debentures, the Company shall make an irrevocable offer to each Holder of 2037 Debentures to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of
such Holder’s 2037 Debentures at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2037 Debentures repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2037 Debentures repurchased to, but not including, the date
of repurchase. 
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change
of Control, but in either case, after the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall mail to each Holder of 2037 Debentures, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice: 
 (i) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event; 
 (ii) offering to repurchase all 2037 Debentures tendered; 
 (iii) setting forth the payment date for the repurchase of the 2037 Debentures, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed; 
 (iv) if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, stating that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on a Change of Control
Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in such notice; 
 (v) disclosing that any 2037 Debenture not tendered
for repurchase will continue to accrue interest; and 
 (vi) specifying the procedures for tendering 2037 Debentures. 
 (c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2037 Debentures as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the 

  

 -8- 

 
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2037 Debentures, the Company will
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2037 Debentures by virtue of such conflict. 
 (d) On the repurchase date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (i) accept for payment all 2037 Debentures or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to such offer; 
 (ii) deposit with the Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all 2037 Debentures or portions thereof properly tendered;
and 
 (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the 2037 Debentures properly accepted, together with an officers’
certificate of the Company stating the aggregate principal amount of 2037 Debentures or portions thereof being repurchased by the Company. 
 (e) The Trustee will promptly mail to each Holder of 2037 Debentures properly tendered, the purchase price for such 2037 Debentures, and the Trustee, upon the execution and delivery by the Company of such 2037 Debentures, will promptly
authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new 2037 Debenture equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any 2037 Debentures surrendered; provided that each new 2037 Debenture will be in a
principal amount of an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 (f) The Company shall not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2037
Debentures upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all 2037
Debentures properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 (g) Solely for purposes of this Section 310 in connection with the
2037 Debentures, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 “Below Investment Grade Ratings Event” means that on any
day within the 60-day period (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the 2037 Debentures is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) after the earlier of (i) the occurrence
of a Change of Control; or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control, the 2037 Debentures are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a
Below Investment Grade Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the 

  

 -9- 

 
reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing that the reduction
was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of such
ratings event). 
 “Change of Control” means the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or
consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (as those terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company, its subsidiaries, or such subsidiaries’ employee benefit
plans, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined Voting Power of the Company’s voting stock or other voting stock into which the
Company’s voting stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed measured by voting power rather than number of shares. 
 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Ratings Event. 
 “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under
any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company. 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 
 “Rating Agency” means (a) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (b) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the 2037 Debentures or fails to make a rating of the 2037 Debentures publicly
available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company and as certified by the
Company’s board of directors as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them, as the case may be. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc. 
 “Voting
Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of
directors of such person. 
 Section 311. Appointment of Agents. 
 The Trustee will initially be the Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the 2037 Debentures and will act as such only at its offices in New York, New York.
