	No Shareholder Rights

The Performance Stock Units shall not represent an equity security of the Company and shall not carry any voting or dividend rights.

	Dividend Equivalent Rights

You shall accumulate dividend equivalent rights on each Performance Stock Unit in an amount equal to the dividends paid, if any, with respect to a share of Company Stock on each date that a dividend is paid on the Company Stock from the Grant Date to the Payment Date.  The dividend equivalent rights shall be converted into additional Performance Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date the dividend is paid and shall accumulate and be paid in additional shares of Company Stock if and when the payment for the corresponding Performance Stock Unit is made.  Such additional Performance Stock Units shall be subject to the same Performance Calculation and forfeiture restrictions as apply to the Performance Stock Unit to which they relate and shall be converted into shares of Company Stock using the same Performance Calculation, as applicable.

		
	F.
	Tax Withholding

The Company or its Subsidiary may withhold from your Performance Stock Units or payments under Section C the amount of taxes required by any federal, state, or local government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to the vesting and payment of your Performance Stock Units (“Tax Withholdings”), including without limitation, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax imposed and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amounts.  At its discretion, the Company or its Subsidiary may require you to pay any Tax Withholdings and withhold any payments, in whole or in part, until the Company or its Subsidiary is so paid.  The Company or its Subsidiary shall also have the unrestricted right to withhold from any other cash amounts due (or to become due) from the Company or its Subsidiary to you, including from your wages or commissions, an amount equal to any Tax Withholdings. The Company or its Subsidiary shall report the payment of any Tax Withholdings and other related information to the appropriate governmental agencies as required under applicable laws.

		
	G.
	Change of Capital Structure

If the number of outstanding shares of the Company Stock is increased or decreased as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or consolidation of shares, or other similar change in capitalization, the number of Performance Stock Units will automatically be adjusted, as provided in the Plan and as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required so as to preserve the value of the Performance Stock Units that existed immediately before the change; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to issue any fractional shares as a result of such adjustment.

		
	H.
	Miscellaneous

The grant of these Performance Stock Units does not obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to continue your employment.  If there is any litigation involving the Performance Stock Units, each party will bear its own expenses, including all legal fees, except that in the event of an action brought by you under this Notice of Grant following a Change of Control, then insofar as such action is not deemed to be frivolous by the arbitrator or court, the Company shall bear all expenses related to the arbitration or litigation, including all legal fees incurred by you.  The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and administer this Notice of Grant.

		
	I.
	409A Compliance

The Performance Stock Units are intended to comply with Code section 409A and official guidance issued thereunder.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Notice of Grant shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with this intention.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Notice of Grant to the contrary, if at the time of your termination of employment with the Company you are “specified employee” as defined in Code section 409A, and the deferral of the commencement of any payment to you hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Code section 409A, then the commencement of the payment of any such amounts shall be deferred until the earlier of the first business day to occur following the date that is six (6) months following your “separation from service” (within the meaning of such term under Code section 409A) with the Company or your death. 

		
	J.

By accepting this grant on-line, this Notice of Grant, together with the Plan, will become the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to conflict of law provisions in any jurisdiction.  This Notice of Grant supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings, commitments and agreements with respect to such matters.  By accepting this grant online, you agree that you are in compliance with, and will abide by, the Company’s “Policy Against Insider Trading” which can be found on The CarMax Way.  You also agree not to sell Company Stock at a time when other applicable laws prohibit a sale.

The Committee may in its discretion determine a threshold level of Company performance required for any year of the Performance Term, such that the if actual Company performance is equal to or below such threshold, the number of shares of Company Stock that will be paid in respect of that year of the Performance Term shall be zero.

 
		
	3.

	4.
	Payment On or After a Change of Control.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if payment is triggered for any reason on or after the date of a Change of Control, then the number of shares of Company Stock that will be paid shall equal the number of vested Performance Stock Units.

		
	5.
	Committee Certification.  Prior to any payments (other than those under Sections 3 and 4) being made, the Committee will determine whether, and to what extent, the Performance Calculation for each year of the Performance Term has been achieved.  Such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on you, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.  The Committee may adjust the Performance Calculation, as it deems appropriate.Exhibit

THIS SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as April 23, 2017, by and between CarMax, Inc., a Virginia corporation, for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereafter referred to collectively as “CarMax”), and James Lyski (hereafter referred to as the “Associate”).  

WHEREAS, CarMax and the Associate desire to agree upon the terms, conditions, compensation and benefits of the Associate’s employment;

WHEREAS, CarMax recognizes that the Associate has developed or will continue to develop an intimate knowledge of and experience with respect to the business of CarMax;

WHEREAS, the Associate has developed or will develop and/or has or will come in contact with CarMax’s proprietary and confidential information that is not readily available to the public, and which is of great importance to CarMax and is treated by CarMax as secret and confidential information; and

WHEREAS, upon execution of this Agreement, any prior severance or employment agreement, if any, between the Associate and CarMax, whether oral or written, will have no force and effect with respect to the terms and conditions of the Associate’s employment with CarMax and will be replaced and superseded by the terms of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Associate’s employment and continued employment by CarMax and the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, CarMax and the Associate, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Article 1.  Term. 

The Associate’s employment with CarMax shall continue until such time as the Associate’s employment is terminated by either party in accordance with Article 7 of this Agreement or the Associate’s term of employment is extended or shortened by a subsequent written agreement duly executed by the Associate and CarMax.

Article 2.  Duties and Responsibilities.   

CarMax shall employ the Associate in the position of Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer.  The specific duties of such position are set forth in the then-current written job description for such position and are incorporated herein by reference.  The Associate acknowledges and agrees to perform those job duties and/or such other job duties that may be assigned to the Associate or required of the Associate by CarMax.

	(a)
	The Associate has committed a material breach of this Agreement, which breach was not cured or waived by CarMax, within ten (10) days of receipt by the Associate of notice from CarMax specifying the breach;

		
	(b)
	The Associate intentionally fails to perform his duties, engages in intentional misconduct or intentionally refuses to abide by or comply with the directives of the Board, CarMax’s Chief Executive Officer, or CarMax’s policies and procedures, as applicable, which actions continued for a period of ten (10) days after receipt by the Associate of notice of the need to cure or cease;

		
	(c)
	The Associate has willfully violated a material requirement of CarMax’s code of conduct or breached his fiduciary duty to CarMax; 

		
	(d)

For purposes of this Section 3.2, “Affected Compensation” means any payment to the Associate, any award or vesting of any equity or other short-term or long-term incentive compensation to the Associate, or any before-tax proceeds of a sale of previously awarded equity compensation realized by the Associate, in any instance in which (i) the payment, award or vesting of the foregoing was expressly conditioned upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of such restatement, and (ii) a lesser amount of payment, award or vesting or before-tax proceeds of a sale of any of the foregoing would have been made to, vested in or otherwise earned or realized by, the Associate based upon such restated financial results.

Article 4.  Other Employment.

The Associate shall not, during the term of this Agreement, be interested directly or indirectly, in any manner, as partner, officer, director, advisor, employee, or in any other capacity, in any other business similar to CarMax’s business for the Associate’s personal advantage or benefit or that of others; provided, further, the Associate agrees to obtain CarMax’s prior written consent before engaging in any other occupation for compensation (actual or expected) while employed by CarMax.  Such consent may be granted or withheld, in CarMax’s absolute discretion; provided, however, such consent will not be required where such other occupation for compensation does not (i) in any manner infringe upon the Associate’s job duties or the time or attention required to perform such duties, (ii) relate to any other business similar to CarMax’s business or (iii) have a detrimental effect on CarMax’s business, as determined in CarMax’s absolute discretion.

Article 8.  Covenant Not to Compete.   

The terms and provisions contained in this Article 8 comprise a covenant not to compete (the “Covenant Not to Compete”).  The Associate acknowledges and agrees as follows:

		
	8.1
	CarMax operates a unique business concept regarding the sale and servicing of new and used vehicles in a highly competitive industry. 

		
	8.2
	CarMax’s competitors have attempted to duplicate CarMax’s business concept in various markets throughout the United States, including markets where CarMax does not currently have a business location, and may continue to do so.

		
	8.3
	In connection with the Associate’s employment with CarMax, he will receive access to, and training regarding, CarMax’s business concept and will, accordingly, acquire commercially valuable knowledge of and insight into CarMax’s operations and CarMax’s proprietary and confidential information, any of which if made available to any Competitor (as defined below) could place CarMax at a competitive disadvantage.  

		
	8.4
	In order to protect CarMax’s legitimate business interests from Competitors (as defined below) and to protect CarMax’s critical interest in its proprietary and confidential information, the Associate covenants and agrees as follows:

During the Associate’s employment with CarMax and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the last day of the Associate’s employment (the “Restricted Period”), the Associate will not, directly or indirectly, compete with CarMax by acting “in a competitive capacity” (as defined below), for, or on behalf of, any person or entity operating or developing, during the Restricted Period, a business that provides or intends to provide activities, products or services that are the same or substantially similar to, and competitive with, the business of CarMax as of Associate’s last day of employment with CarMax (each, a “Competitor”) within any Metropolitan Statistical Area (as defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget) in which CarMax has a retail store site as of Associate’s last day of employment.  Such Competitors include, but are not limited to: Sonic Automotive, Inc.; Lithia Motors, Inc.; Group 1 Automotive, Inc.; AutoNation, Inc.; Penske Automotive Group, Inc.; Asbury Automotive Group, Inc.; Hendrick Automotive Group;  Auction Direct USA, L.P.; Car Sense Inc.; AutoAmerica, Inc.; Left Gate Property Holding, Inc. d/b/a Texas Direct Auto; Off Lease Only, Inc.; Carvana, LLC; Carvana Group, LLC; AutoMatch USA, LLC; DriveTime Car Sales Company, LLC; DriveTime Automotive Group, Inc.; CarLotz, Inc.; Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.; Enterprise Holdings, Inc.; Avis Budget Group, Inc.; Cox Automotive, Inc.; Classified Ventures, LLC; TrueCar, Inc.; Edmunds.com, Inc.; Dealertrack Technologies, Inc.; Dealer Dot Com, Inc.; CarGurus, LLC; Blinker, Inc.; and Beepi, Inc., and any automotive retail operation affiliated with, owned, operated, or controlled by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.; Home Depot, Inc.; Lowe’s Companies, Inc.; Target Corporation; Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.; Sears Holdings Corporation; Carrefour S.A.; Costco Wholesale Corporation; Royal Dutch Shell plc; Exxon Mobil Corporation; Chevron Corporation; and/or Gulliver International Co., Ltd.

		
	8.5
	A business, including any Competitor, or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates, will not be considered to be in competition with CarMax for purposes of Article 8 if the business, or operating unit of the business, or its respective subsidiaries or affiliates, by which the Associate will be or is employed (i) does not have within the twenty-four (24) months preceding the Associate’s termination of employment with CarMax, annual gross revenues (calculated on a rolling 12-month basis) of at least $5,000,000 derived from the sale and servicing of new or used vehicles; or (ii) is not projected (by the business or operating unit of the business) to have within the twenty-four (24) months following the Associate’s termination of employment with CarMax, annual gross revenues (regardless of how calculated) of at least $5,000,000 derived from the sale and servicing of new or used vehicles.  

		
	8.6
	Acting “in a competitive capacity” shall mean providing to a Competitor, directly or indirectly, the same or substantially similar services that the Associate provided to CarMax at any time during Associate’s last twenty-four (24) months of employment.  

		
	8.7
	Nothing herein shall prevent or restrict the Associate from working for any person in any role or in any capacity that is not in competition with CarMax.  

    
		
	8.8
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent or limit the right of the Associate to invest in the capital stock or other securities of any corporation whose stock or securities are regularly traded on any public exchange.

		
	8.9
	The Associate and CarMax have examined in detail the Covenant Not to Compete contained in this Article 8 and each agrees that the restraint imposed upon the Associate is reasonable in light of the legitimate business interests of CarMax and is not unduly harsh or burdensome with respect to the Associate’s ability to earn a livelihood.  If any provision of the Covenant Not to Compete relating to the time period, geographic area or scope of restricted activities shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period, geographic area or scope of activities, as applicable, that such court deems reasonable and enforceable, then such time period, geographic area or scope of activities shall be deemed to be, and thereafter shall become, the maximum time period, scope of activities or largest geographic area that such court deems reasonable and enforceable and this Agreement shall automatically be considered to have been amended and revised to reflect such determination.

		
	8.10
	The Associate and CarMax acknowledge that the Associate’s services are of a special, extraordinary, and intellectual character that gives the Associate unique value, and that CarMax’s business is highly competitive, and that violation of the Covenant Not to Compete provided herein would cause immediate, immeasurable, and irreparable harm, loss, and damage to CarMax not adequately compensable by a monetary award.  In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Associate of the Covenant Not to Compete, CarMax shall be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available to restrain the Associate from violating the provisions hereof.  Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting CarMax from pursuing any other remedies available at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages and the immediate termination of the employment of the Associate hereunder for Cause.

Article 9.  Non-Solicitation of Employees.

The Associate agrees that during the Associate’s employment with CarMax and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the last day of the Associate’s employment, the Associate shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee of CarMax with whom the Associate had material business-related contact on behalf of CarMax, to leave employment with CarMax for any reason whatsoever (the “Covenant Not to Solicit”).  For purposes of this Article 9, employee shall mean any individual employed by CarMax.
 
Article 10.  Confidentiality.

The terms and provisions contained in this Article 10 comprise a covenant of confidentiality (the “Covenant of Confidentiality”).

The Associate understands and agrees that any and all Protected Information is the property of CarMax and is essential to the protection of CarMax’s goodwill and to the maintenance of CarMax’s competitive position and accordingly should be kept secret.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Information” means trade secrets, confidential and proprietary business information of or about CarMax, and any other information of CarMax, including technical data, processes, know‐how, financial data, 

analyses, forecasts, plans, operations information and data, customer lists (including potential customers) and information, marketing plans, materials and information, product and service information, accounts and billings information, sales transaction data, sales documents and information, discoveries, ideas, concepts, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, models, information systems data and materials, computer software or hardware, data analyses and compilations, source code, object code, documentation, diagrams, flow charts, research, procedures, methods, systems, programs, price lists, pricing policies, supplier and distributor information, sources of supply, internal memoranda, promotional plans, internal policies, purchasing information, operating methods and procedures, training materials, and any products and services which may be developed from time to time by CarMax and its agents or employees, including the Associate; provided, however, that information that is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement), approved for release by CarMax or lawfully obtained from third parties who are not bound by a confidentiality agreement with CarMax, is not Protected Information.
CarMax has advised the Associate and the Associate acknowledges that it is the policy of CarMax to maintain as secret and confidential all Protected Information, and that Protected Information has been and will be developed at substantial cost to and effort by CarMax.  The Associate agrees to hold in strict confidence and safeguard any and all Protected Information accessed or accessible by the Associate during the Associate’s employment.  The Associate shall not, without the prior written consent of CarMax, at any time, directly or indirectly, divulge, furnish, use, disclose or make accessible to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity (otherwise than as may be required in the regular course of the Associate’s employment with CarMax), any Protected Information, or cause any such Protected Information to enter the public domain.
Nothing contained in this Article 10 is intended to reduce in any way the protection available to CarMax pursuant to the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted in Virginia or any other state or other applicable laws that prohibit the misuse or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information.  Unless lengthened by the application of the Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act or other applicable law, the restrictions in Article 10 shall remain in effect during Associate’s employment and for five (5) years thereafter.  

Article 11.  Return of CarMax Property. 

Upon the termination (for any reason) of the Associate’s employment with CarMax, the Associate shall deliver promptly to CarMax all CarMax property including, without limitation, any automobiles, equipment, credit cards, keys, building access cards, identification, cellular phones, computers, software, CD ROMs, customer lists, and all Protected Information as defined in Article 10 of this Agreement.  The Associate further agrees not to take or extract any portion of any such information and/or materials in written, computer, electronic or any other reproducible form.

Article 12.  Monies Owed.  

To the extent that the Associate owes CarMax any monies at the time of termination of employment, the Associate authorizes and agrees to have CarMax withhold such amounts owed from the Associate’s final paycheck, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Article 13.  Work Product.  

		
	(a)
	All work product prepared by the Associate in connection with performing job duties for CarMax shall be the sole property of CarMax.  CarMax shall have full and exclusive rights to use, reproduce, publish, or otherwise profit from such work product, as CarMax deems appropriate. The Associate agrees to assist CarMax, or any agent designated by CarMax, at any time and at no cost to the Associate, in obtaining any patents, copyrights, trademarks or other forms of legal protection for any such work product.

		
	(b)
	To the extent that any work product is deemed in any way to fall within the definition of “work made for hire,” as such term is defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such work product shall be considered “work made for hire,” the copyright of which shall be owned solely, completely and exclusively by CarMax.

		
	(c)
	For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “work product” includes, but is not limited to, reports, manuals, inventions, improvements, designs, formulae, processes, techniques, methods, computer software, proposals, technical solutions, patents, training materials, other works of authorship, innovations, and enhancements created by the Associate or the Associate’s staff.

Article 14.  Dispute Resolution.  

Except for actions initiated by CarMax to enjoin a breach by the Associate, and/or recover damages from the Associate, related to the Covenant Not to Compete (Article 8), the Covenant Not to Solicit (Article 9) or the Covenant of Confidentiality (Article 10) (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), which action(s) CarMax may bring in an appropriate court of law or equity, any disagreement between the Associate and CarMax concerning anything covered by this Agreement or concerning other terms or conditions of the Associate’s employment or the termination of the Associate’s employment will be settled by final and binding arbitration pursuant to CarMax’s Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the disagreement or dispute arises or at the time of termination in the event the Associate’s employment terminated.  The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on both the Associate and CarMax and may be enforced in a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
