                  (i) Initial Grant. Effective upon the commencement of
Employee's employment by Employer, Employer will grant to Employee (a) an
option, fully vested upon the grant date and exercisable for five years after
the grant date, to purchase such number of shares of Employer common stock, at
such exercise price, as is determined using the formula set forth in the offer
letter to Employee from Employer dated January 31, 2004, and (b) an option to
purchase up to one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Employer's common stock
with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of Employer's
common stock on the date of grant. Such option will be issued pursuant to, and
subject to the terms and conditions contained in, Employer's 2004 Stock Option
and Incentive Plan and Employer's standard form stock option agreement. Such
option will be vested with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares
subject to the option on the grant date and an additional twenty-five percent
(25%) on each of the first three anniversaries of the commencement of Employee's
employment. [Such option will be intended to be an "incentive stock option"
under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.]

                  (iii) Acceleration Events. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in the agreement(s) evidencing the aforementioned stock
options,

                        (A)   If Employee's employment is terminated by Employer
without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason (in each case as defined in Article
3 below) prior to the second anniversary of the commencement of Employee's
employment, the vesting of such stock options as have then been granted shall
accelerate so that the next annual vesting installment of the shares subject to
the option shall become immediately vested on the date of termination, and

<PAGE>

                        (B)   If a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs
while Employee is employed by Employer, all of the shares of stock subject to
the aforementioned options shall become completely vested immediately prior to
the consummation of the Change of Control.

                        (C)   A "Change of Control" shall mean, and shall be
deemed to occur if, the Incumbent Directors (as hereinafter defined) cease for
any reason, including without limitation as a result of a tender offer, proxy
contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of
Employer's Board of Directors, provided, however, that any person becoming a
Director of Employer whose election is (or was) approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors or whose nomination for election is (or
was) approved by a nominating committee composed of Incumbent Directors shall be
deemed an Incumbent Director. The "Incumbent Directors" shall mean persons who
constituted Employer's entire Board of Directors as of April 21, 2003 and those
persons deemed Incumbent Directors pursuant to the preceding sentence.

                                   ARTICLE 3.

during such twelve month period), Employer may terminate Employee's employment
under this Agreement at any time thereafter, provided, however, that such
disability is continuing at the time of such termination notice.

            (b)   Termination For "Cause" or With or Without "Good Reason".

                  (i) Cause. Employer may terminate Employee's employment at any
time for Cause immediately upon written notice to Employee. The term "Cause"

                          AND NONSOLICITATION AGREEMENT

      This Noncompetition, Nondisclosure and Nonsolicitation Agreement (the
"Agreement") is made as of April 1, 2004 between Judy Quye (the "Employee") and
Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a mailing
address at 40 Pequot Way, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 (the "Employer").

I.    BACKGROUND AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

      The Employer has entered into an Employment Agreement (the "Employment
Agreement") with the Employee contemporaneously with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, in consideration for and in reliance upon the Employee's
executing and delivering to Employer this Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree and covenant as follows:

II.   NONCOMPETITION COVENANT.

      The Employee shall not, for a period of two (2) years after the date the
Employee ceases to be an employee or otherwise engaged by the Employer or any
affiliate of the Employer: (1) directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate,
finance, join, or control, or participate in the ownership, management,
operation, financing or control of, or be associated as an director, officer,
employee, consultant, partner, lender, investor or representative in connection
with, any profit or not-for-profit business or enterprise that primarily (a)
distributes, sells or services consumer electronic or entertainment products to
retail customers; or (b) otherwise competes with the business of the Employer as
it exists, or as it is proposed, on the date hereof or on the date the
Employee's employment is terminated; or (2) directly or indirectly solicit,
induce or attempt to induce any person employed by the Employer or its
affiliates to enter the employ of the Employee or any other person or entity.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither of the following shall alone be a
violation of this Agreement: (1) the performance by the Employee of her
obligations to the Employer as and while an employee of the Employer, and (2)
the ownership by the Employee of 2% or less of the outstanding publicly traded
capital stock of any entity.

III.  NONDISCLOSURE COVENANT.

      A. The Employee shall not at any time reveal to any person or entity any
Proprietary Information (as defined below) or information belonging to any third
party which the Employer is under an obligation to keep confidential, and shall
keep secret all Proprietary Information

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

which is possessed by or may be entrusted to her and shall not use or attempt to
use any Proprietary Information (or such information belonging to a third party)
for her own benefit, or for the benefit of any third party or in any manner
which may injure or cause loss or may be calculated to injure or cause loss
(whether directly or indirectly) to the Employer. The Employee shall take or
omit to take such actions as the Employer may reasonably request to preserve all
Proprietary Information as the sole and exclusive property of the Employer.

      B. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Employee shall not
at any time publish any Proprietary Information or any information derived
therefrom, without the prior express written permission of the Employer.

      C. Upon request of the Employer, the Employee shall immediately deliver to
the Employer all notes, memoranda, drawings, specifications, programs, data or
other materials in her possession constituting Proprietary Information and all
copies of any of the foregoing.

      D. As used herein, the term "Proprietary Information" shall mean all
client and customer lists, pricing information and trade secrets owned or used
by the Employer, or which otherwise constitute assets of the Employer or relate
to the Employer's business; and any other data, information, documents or forms
pertaining to the financial condition, business affairs or prospects of the
Employer, including, without limitation, any such information relative to
customers or suppliers, samples, sketches, bulletins, memoranda, correspondence,
forms and records (including financial statements), information concerning
sources of supply, costs of manufacture and sale and specifications of
equipment; whether or not any of the foregoing is published or unpublished,
protected or susceptible to protection under patent, trademark, copyright or
similar laws and whether or not any party has elected to secure or attempted to
secure such protection.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Proprietary Information" shall
not include any of the foregoing information or materials to the extent (i)
generally known to the public through no wrongful act of the Employee or (ii)
lawfully received by the Employee from a third party without restriction on
disclosure and without a breach by the third party of any obligation of
confidentiality.

IV.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      C. No Waiver. Any waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this
Agreement or any subsequent breach hereof.

      D. Severability. The parties hereby agree that each provision hereof shall
be treated as a separate and independent provision, and the unenforceability of
any one provision shall in no way impair the enforceability of any other
provision hereof. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope,
activity or subject so as to be unenforceable, such provision or provisions
shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it
or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law.

5.    BONUS MECHANISM

      5.1   The amount of on-target bonus that is paid will be determined as
            follows:

            (a)   Each participant is eligible to earn forty (40%) percent of
                  the on-target bonus based on the achievement of quarterly
                  goals and sixty (60%) percent based on the achievement of
                  annual goals. The quarterly and annual Revenue and EPS goals
                  are stated in Appendix II.

            (b)   The percentage of the on-target bonus described in Appendix I
                  earned by each Participant on achievement of the amounts
                  stated in Appendix II in respect of each Plan Quarter is:

                  (i)     Q1        5% based on Revenue, 5% based on Earnings
                  (ii)    Q2        5% based on Revenue, 5% based on Earnings
                  (iii)   Q3        5% based on Revenue, 5% based on Earnings
                  (iv)    Q4        5% based on Revenue, 5% based on Earnings

<PAGE>

                                    40% in total

            In the event that the achievement for Revenue in any quarter is less
            than the amount stated in Appendix II for that quarter, but is equal
            to or greater than 97.5% of such amount, then a partial bonus shall
            be paid to each Participant. The partial bonus shall be equal to the
            actual amount of Revenue achieved for the quarter divided by the
            amount of the Revenue goal for the quarter as stated in Appendix II
            times the on-target bonus the participant would otherwise have
            earned for the Revenue component (i.e. 5% of total on-target bonus).
            Achievement for Earnings must be at 100% to be eligible for payout
            on that component. No incremental bonus is payable to any
            participant for achievement above 100% in any quarter.

            (c)   The percentage of the on-target bonus described in Appendix I
                  earned by each Participant on achievement of the amounts
                  stated in Appendix II in respect of year end performance is:

                        (i)   24% based on revenue
                        (ii)  36% based on earnings
                              60% in total

            As stated in Appendix II, there is a minimum, target and maximum
            achievement level for payout based on annual performance, for both
            the Revenue and the Earnings component, subject to the following:

                        (i)   No annual bonus payments will be made for either
                              component if the minimum Earnings number is not
                              achieved (for fiscal 2004 this is .43); and

                        (ii)  Actual payment for performance between minimum,
                              target and maximum achievement will be prorated
                              accordingly.

                        (iii) The total amount of the year end bonus will be
                              paid to the participants as follows:
                              a.    75% of the bonus will be paid in cash; and
                              b.    25% of the bonus will be will be paid in the
                                    form of common stock, on a net after-tax
                                    basis applying the statutory withholding
                                    rate, valued at the closing price on the
                                    second day after the day that the Company
                                    issues its fiscal 2004 fourth quarter and
                                    year-end results, subject to the agreement
                                    of each recipient to restrictions on
                                    transfer (other than for estate planning
                                    purposes) that expire two years from the
                                    valuation date (or upon termination of
                                    employment, if earlier). No fractional
                                    shares will be issued.

6.    PAYMENT OF BONUSES

      Funded bonus will be payable (and restricted stock issued) not later than
      sixty days after the end of the period in which the bonus was earned
      provided that the results for the period have been issued to the public.
      The foregoing notwithstanding, if a participant's employment by the
      Company is terminated for any reason prior to the actual issuance of
      stock, the Company may in its discretion elect to make such payment in
      cash in lieu of stock. All shares of Company stock issued hereunder shall
      be issued pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the
      Company's Amended and Restated 1999 Equity Incentive Plan.

7.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

      If a Participant's employment by the Company is terminated, the
      participant's entitlement to payment under this Plan shall be as
      determined under the terms of the Company's Severance Pay Plan, as amended
      to and in effect as of the date of termination.

8.    BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

      8.1   If a Participant's employment with the Company is terminated by his
            death or if he dies after termination of his employment but prior to
            the distribution to him of all amounts payable to him under the
            Plan, any amounts otherwise payable to him hereunder shall be
            distributed to his designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. For the
            purposes of this plan a Participant's beneficiary will be the
            beneficiary designated under Company provided life insurance
            coverage. However, a Participant may from time to time revoke or
            change any beneficiary designation on file with the Company.

            If there is no effective beneficiary designation on file with the
            Company at the time of a Participant's death, distribution of
            amounts otherwise payable to the deceased Participant under this
            Plan shall be made to the Participant's estate. If a beneficiary
            designated by the Participant to receive his benefits shall survive
            the Participant but die before receiving all distributions
            hereunder, the balance thereof shall be paid to such deceased
            beneficiary's estate, unless the deceased beneficiary designation
            provides otherwise.

      8.2   The Company shall deduct from the distributions to be made to a
            Participant or his designated beneficiary or beneficiaries under
            this Plan any federal, state or local withholding or other taxes or
            charges which the Company is from time to time required to deduct
            under applicable law and all amounts distributable under this Plan
            are stated herein before any such deductions. The Company may rely
            on a written opinion from its legal counsel regarding any questions
            which may arise in connection with any such deductions.

9.    RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND DUTIES OF PARTICIPATION

<PAGE>

      9.1   No participant or other person shall have any interest in any fund
            or in any specific asset or assets of the Company and its
            Subsidiaries by reason of being a Participant under this Plan nor
            any right to receive any distributions under the Plan except as and
            to the extent expressly provided in the Plan.

      9.2   The Company shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation,
            to segregate cash to fund bonuses payable under the Plan. However,
            any such segregated amounts shall at all times remain Company
            assets, subject to the claims of its creditors.

      9.3   Each Participant shall be entitled to receive a current copy of the
            Plan upon his designation as a Participant if a written request for
            a copy of the Plan is provided to the Chief Executive Officer or the
            Chairman of the Board. Thereafter, as long as he remains a
            Participant, he shall be entitled to receive copies of any
            amendments to the Plan within sixty (60) days after their adoption.

      9.4   The designation of any employee as a Participant under this Plan
            shall not be construed as conferring upon such employee any right to
            remain in the employ of the Company and each such Participant shall
            remain an employee at will. The right of the Company to discipline
            or discharge an employee shall not be affected in any manner by
            reason of such employee's designation as a Participant under this
            Plan.

      9.5   To the extent permitted by law, the right of any Participant or any
            beneficiary to receive any payment hereunder shall not be subject to
            alienation, transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, attachment,
            garnishment or encumbrance of any kind. Any attempt to alienate,
            transfer, sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any such
            payment whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void. Any
            payment due hereunder shall not in any manner be subject to any
            debts or liabilities of any Participant or his beneficiary.
