Exhibit 10.04

Free On-Line Electronic Tax Filing Agreement Amendment

          WHEREAS, the Alliance and the IRS entered into a three year agreement which was published in
the Federal Register (Vol. 67, No. 153, page 51621) on August 8, 2002 and executed on October 30,
2002, that set forth parameters to which industry members of the Alliance would offer online tax
preparation and filing services to taxpayers at no cost to taxpayers (“Services”);

          WHEREAS, both the Alliance and the IRS wish to extend this agreement to cover future filing
seasons;

          NOW THEREFORE, the Alliance and the IRS, hereby mutually agree to amend and extend the
agreement executed on October 30, 2002, subject to the following changes and additional conditions:

I. Scope of Offerings

	 	A)	 	Each Alliance member must provide a minimum of 10% coverage.
	 
	 	B)	 	For the term of this agreement, the Alliance will guarantee coverage in aggregate to 70
percent of taxpayers, approximately 93 million taxpayers in Filing Season 2006. While the
percentage of taxpayers covered will remain the same through out the life of the agreement,
the number of taxpayers covered, and the income of said taxpayers, will be adjusted each
filing season,.
	 
	 	C)	 	The IRS and Alliance agree that to serve the greater good and to ensure the long-term
stability of the Alliance, the scope of this program is focused on covering the taxpayers
least able to afford e-filing their returns on their own.
	 
	 	D)	 	No individual Alliance member offer can cover more than 50 percent of total taxpayers,
approximately 66.5 million taxpayers in Filing Season 2006, and this taxpayer population
must be within the total aggregate coverage scope of 70 percent, approximately 93 million
taxpayers in Filing Season 2006. Any Alliance members who provide coverage for taxpayers
who have an AGI from $0 to $28,000 will have an additional 50 characters on the Free File
page to describe their product.
	 
	 	E)	 	To manage the program in a transparent manner, IRS will utilize the then current
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) number which equates to 70% of the taxpayers to manage the
program, and will not accept or post any offer by an Alliance member which exceeds this AGI
amount. The Alliance will not have a role in this IRS management process.
	 
	 	F)	 	More than one Alliance member will offer free preparation and electronic filing of Form
4868 from April 1 to the due date of the return. Alliance members who provide the free
preparation and electronic filing of Form 4868 will have an additional 50 characters on the
Free File page to describe their product.

II. Program Content

	 	A)	 	The IRS and the Alliance recognize that refund anticipation loans (RALs) may be offered
by Alliance members. If RALs are offered, they shall include these added features
reflecting enhanced standards of consumer protection. Alliance members who offer RALs
agree that their offers will be consistent with the following:

	 	1.	 	No offer of free return preparation and filing of an electronic return in the
Free File program shall be conditioned on the purchase of a RAL.
	 
	 	2.	 	RALs may only be offered in a manner consistent with all statutes and
regulations, as well as any guidance issued by the Department of Treasury or the IRS,
applicable at the time of the offering.
	 
	 	3.	 	RALs will be offered with clear language indicating that:

	 	(a)	 	They are loans, not a faster way of receiving an IRS refund;

	 	(b)	 	They must be repaid even if the IRS does not issue a full refund;
	 	(c)	 	That because RALs are short-term loans, interest rates may be higher
than some other forms of credit and consumers may wish to consider using other
forms of credit; and,
	 	(d)	 	The time frame in which tax refunds are typically paid is based upon
the different filing options available to the taxpayer including the different
options that taxpayers have to receive a refund directly from the government (paper
check versus direct deposit).

	 	4.	 	No RALs will be made unless consumers affirmatively consent in advance to
receiving a RAL. The refund loan facilitator must disclose the expected time within
which the loan will be paid to the taxpayer if such loan is approved. No RALs will be
made unless consumers affirmatively consent to sharing any personal data in accordance
with 26 U.S.C. §7216 with financial institutions making a refund loan.
	 
	 	5.	 	RALs may be offered only as one option among options including a no-added-fee
refund from the IRS. The IRS refund option shall be presented first.
	 
	 	6.	 	RALs may be offered but not promoted. A taxpayer may only be asked if they are
interested in a RAL once.
	 
	 	7.	 	Some Free File Alliance firms will not offer RAL products, thus ensuring that
consumers have RAL free options.
	 
	 	8.	 	The refund loan facilitator shall disclose all refund anticipate loan fees with
respect to the refund anticipation loan. Such disclosure shall include:

	 	(a)	 	A copy of the fee schedule of the refund loan facilitator;

2

 

	 	(b)	 	The typical fees and interest rates (using annual percentage rates as
defined by section 107 of the Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1606)) for several
typical amounts of such loans;
	 	(c)	 	Typical fees and interest charges if a loan is not paid or delayed; and
	 	(d)	 	The amount of a fee (if any) that will be charged if the loan is not
approved.

	 	B)	 	Alliance members will provide an electronic Free File indicator.

	 	1.	 	IRS will not use the indicator to build a marketing database.
	 
	 	2.	 	IRS will not use the indicator to compile company-specific proprietary data.
	 
	 	3.	 	IRS will use the database to create aggregate data profiles of all users.
	 
	 	4.	 	IRS will ensure its FOIA office is aware of Alliance concerns about disclosure
of company specific data, and actively afford notice and opportunity to intervene by
the Alliance and impacted company as is required by statute and regulation.
	 
	 	5.	 	The IRS will promptly notify the Executive Director in writing if a
governmental agency or entity, including, but not limited to the Congress, any
Inspector General, or Taxpayer Advocate, or a private party is requesting aggregate
data concerning individual member companies; and IRS has concluded it cannot refuse to
provide such data.

	 	(a)	 	The Executive Director upon receipt of the IRS’s written notification
may advise members that they can cease providing the indicator.
	 	(b)	 	The Alliance cannot unilaterally suspend the indicator absent proof
which it supplies the IRS that the aggregate data concerning an individual member
company described above has been compiled or released.
	 	(c)	 	In the event any domestic law enforcement agency formally subpoenas or
provides the IRS with appropriate process, notification to the Executive Director
can be delayed for a period not to exceed 90 days.
	 	(d)	 	Any member(s) which suspends the indicator in accordance with the terms
described above shall be expected to provide the total number of accepted e-filed
tax returns originating from their Free File service under procedures mutually
agreed to by the IRS and the Executive Director.

	 	C)	 	Alliance members will disclose on the individual members’ landing page if State tax
return preparation/filing services are available and, if so, whether a fee will be charged
for such services. If a fee is charged for such services the cost to the taxpayer must be
clearly stated on the member’s landing page. The IRS will notify the Executive Director
if it discovers a member’s landing page is not in compliance with this requirement. If the
landing page is not brought into compliance within 24 hours of such notification by IRS,
the member’s web site will be removed from irs.gov.

3

 

	 	D)	 	IRS will work with the Executive Director and Alliance attorney to ensure that their
web sites/Free File pages are in compliance with 26 U.S.C. §7216 with respect to pop-up and
pop-under advertising, adware, spyware, etc.
	 
	 	E)	 	The Alliance members will provide the necessary support to accomplish a customer
satisfaction survey.

4

 

III. Performance Standards

	 	A)	 	Alliance members will meet a graduating performance standard. For 2006 the performance
standard will be placed at 60 percent acceptance rate for electronic returns and this will
be measured on February 28, 2006 for all Alliance members. The minimum acceptable
performance standard will be gradually increased in future years based on discussions with
the Alliance. Any Alliance member who does not meet the minimum acceptance rate for any
period may be removed from irs.gov.
	 
	 	B)	 	Alliance members will possess and provide appropriate documentation to the IRS and the
Executive Director demonstrating they have acquired third party security and privacy
certifications.
	 
	 	C)	 	The Alliance, or its individual members, will annually conduct penetration and
vulnerability assessment of individual member companies prior to the start of the filing
season. No such assessments will be required until after April 25, 2006.
	 
	 	D)	 	The annual assessments will be conducted prior to, or concurrent with, the annual PATS
testing.
	 
	 	E)	 	Services relating to this assessment must be obtained from a list of approved vendors
jointly created by IRS and the Alliance.
	 
	 	F)	 	An Alliance member company may not be listed or may be delisted, by agreement of the
IRS and Executive Director, if there are demonstrated or perceived security or privacy
vulnerabilities. The IRS and the Alliance may require an additional successful penetration
and vulnerability assessment by an approved third party vendor of the member’s choice as a
condition for listing or relisting.
	 
	 	G)	 	Only the Executive Director, IRS, and affected individual company will be apprised of
an Alliance member’s deficiencies identified as a result of any assessment by the IRS or
Free File Alliance management.

IV. Administration

	 	A)	 	IRS and the Executive Director and Alliance attorney are developing a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) that would provide structure for the roles and responsibilities for
both the IRS and the FFA leadership. The issues that are included in the draft MOU include
tasks such as:

	 	1.	 	Screening offers and web sites of members as part of the Alliance’s
suitability/filing season readiness program;
	 	2.	 	Monitoring of member offerings and member web sites;
	 	3.	 	Participation in review of decisions when removing a member from the irs.gov
Free File web page and the reinstatement of the member’s site after a security or
disclosure breach; and,

5

 

	 	4.	 	Providing for a dispute resolution process that could be invoked by Alliance
members whose offerings are rejected or removed from irs.gov.

V. Effect of This Agreement and Provision for an Integrated Final Agreement and Approval Processes of Such Document

	 	A)	 	The terms of this agreement are final and binding unless and until it is superseded by
a signed agreement between the parties. The IRS and the Alliance agree that this document
and all prior original and supplemental signed agreements between the IRS and the Alliance
remain in full force and effect unless the language of this latest document is inconsistent
with such prior written terms, in which case the terms and language of this document shall
control the actions of the parties in managing the program. It is the contemplation of both
parties that a new integrated final document will be subsequently created by the parties.
	 
	 	B)	 	Approval of a new integrated final document is subject to the final approval of the
Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Treasury, as well as the
Alliance.

VI. Term of Agreement

	 	A)	 	This agreement will extend the term of the original agreement for an additional period
of four years, from Oct. 30, 2005 until Oct. 30, 2009. The IRS may terminate this renewal
agreement (for the period Oct. 30, 2005 through Oct. 30 2009) without cause, such
termination to be effective 24 months after the date of written notice of such termination
being sent to the Alliance.

ELIGIBILITY

     Non-employee Directors, including Non-employee Directors who are members of the Committee,
shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Each Eligible Director shall, if required by the
Company, enter into an agreement with the Company in such form as the Committee shall determine
consistent with the provisions of the Plan for purposes of implementing the Plan or effecting its
purposes. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and any such

Article 5

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

     Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
may be issued pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan is 50,000 shares. Shares
of Common Stock previously subject to Restricted Stock Awards hereunder which are forfeited or
cancelled may be reissued pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards.

Article 6

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD

     6.1 Awards. Following the Effective Date, on every fifth Business Day in January each
Eligible Director shall be granted a Restricted Stock Award for the number of shares of Common
Stock having a Fair Market Value as of the Date of Grant equal to $75,000.00 (the “Annual Grant”).
If a person first becomes an Eligible Director between the date of Annual Grants, such Eligible
Director shall be granted a Restricted Stock Award for the number of

 

 

shares of Common Stock having the Fair Market Value as of the date he or she becomes an
Eligible Director equal to $75,000.00 multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number
of days from the date such person becomes an Eligible Director until the date of the next Annual
Grant and the denominator of which is 365. For the purposes of the Plan, the term “Business Day”
shall mean a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business and is conducting normal
trading activity.

     6.2 Forfeiture Restrictions. Shares of Common Stock that are the subject of a
Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to restrictions on disposition by the Eligible Director and
to an obligation of the Eligible Director to forfeit and surrender the shares to the Company under
certain circumstances (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). The Forfeiture Restrictions shall be
determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and the Committee may provide that the
Forfeiture Restrictions shall lapse on the passage of time or the occurrence of such other event or
events determined to be appropriate by the Committee. The Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to a
particular Restricted Stock Award (which may differ from any other such Restricted Stock Award)
shall be stated in the Restricted Stock Agreement.

     6.3 Vesting. The Forfeiture Restrictions referred to in Section 6.2 above for any
particular Restricted Stock Award shall include the following vesting schedule:

	 	 	 
	 	 	Portion of Shares That
	 	 	Are Vested On or After
	Anniversary of	 	Such Anniversary and
	Date of Grant	 	Before Next Anniversary
	First	 	25%
	Second	 	50%
	Third	 	75%
	Fourth	 	100%

     If an Eligible Director’s membership on the Board is terminated pursuant to his or her
(i) Removal, (ii) not being re-nominated for Board membership for the next succeeding period, (iii)
being nominated for Board membership for the next succeeding period but not being reelected for
Board membership for such period by the Company’s stockholders, or (iv) resignation from the Board,
in any such case, prior to the actual vesting or lapse of any other Forfeiture Restrictions, if
any, applicable to such Restricted Stock Award, then such unvested Restricted Stock shall
immediately be cancelled and the Eligible Director (and such Eligible Directors estate or legal
representative) shall forfeit any rights or interests in and with respect to any such unvested
Restricted Stock. If an Eligible Director ceases to be a Director due to death, then all of such
Eligible Directors Restricted Stock shall immediately vest in full.

     Furthermore, if an Eligible Director ceases to be a Director because of voluntary retirement
after a lengthy period of service on the Board or because of health reasons, the Eligible Directors
may, in their sole discretion, take action, which action would exclude the participation of the
affected Eligible Director, to vest in full the affected Eligible Director’s Restricted Stock that
was awarded at least one year prior to the affected Eligible Director’s cessation of Board service.

 

 

     6.4 Restricted Stock Awards. Shares of Common Stock awarded pursuant to a Restricted
Stock Award shall be represented by a stock certificate registered in the name of the Eligible
Director of such Restricted Stock Award or by a book entry account with the Company’s transfer
agent. The Eligible Director shall have the right to receive dividends with respect to the shares
of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award, to vote the shares of Common Stock subject
thereto and to enjoy all other stockholder rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock
subject thereto, except that, unless provided otherwise in the Restricted Stock Agreement, (i) the
Eligible Director shall not be entitled to delivery of the certificate evidencing the shares of
Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired,
(ii) the Company or an escrow agent shall retain custody of the certificate evidencing the shares
of Common Stock (or such shares shall be held in a book entry account with the Company’s transfer
agent) until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, (iii) the Eligible Director may not sell,
transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock until
the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, and (iv) a breach of the terms and conditions set forth
in the Restricted Stock Agreement shall cause a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Award. At the
time of such Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe
additional terms, conditions or restrictions relating to the Restricted Stock Award, including
rules pertaining to the Eligible Director’s Termination of Service prior to expiration of the
Forfeiture Restrictions. Such additional terms, conditions or restrictions shall also be set forth
in the Restricted Stock Agreement made in connection with the Restricted Stock Award.

     6.5 Rights and Obligations of Eligible Director. One or more stock certificates
representing shares of Common Stock, free of Forfeiture Restrictions, shall be delivered to the
Eligible Director promptly after, and only after, the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired and the
Eligible Director has satisfied all applicable federal, state and local income tax withholding
requirements, if any. Each Restricted Stock Agreement shall require that (i) the Eligible Director,
by his or her acceptance of the Restricted Stock Award, shall irrevocably grant to the Company a
power of attorney to transfer any shares so forfeited to the Company and agrees to execute any
documents requested by the Company in connection with such forfeiture and transfer, and (ii) such
provisions regarding transfers of forfeited shares of Common Stock shall be specifically
performable by the Company in a court of equity or law.

     6.6 Restriction Period. The Restriction Period for a Restricted Stock Award shall
commence on the Date of Grant of the Restricted Stock Award and, unless otherwise established by
the Committee and stated in the Restricted Stock Agreement, shall expire upon satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement pursuant to which the Forfeiture
Restrictions will lapse.

     6.7 Securities Restrictions. The Committee may impose other conditions on any shares
of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award as it may deem advisable, including (i)
restrictions under applicable state or federal securities laws, and (ii) the requirements of any
stock exchange or national market system upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or
quoted.

     6.8 Payment for Restricted Stock. The Committee shall determine the amount and form
of any payment for shares of Common Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock

 

 

Award; provided, that in the absence of such a determination, the Eligible Director shall not
be required to make any payment for shares of Common Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock
Award, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

     6.9 Withholding Taxes. The Committee may establish such rules and procedures as it
considers desirable in order to satisfy any obligation of the Company to withhold applicable
federal, state and local income taxes with respect to the lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions
applicable to Restricted Stock Awards. Prior to delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the lapse
of Forfeitures Restrictions applicable to a Restricted Stock Award, the Eligible Director shall pay
or make adequate provision acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of all tax withholding
obligations of the Company, if any.

Article 7

AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE

     Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7, the Board may at any time and from
time to time alter, amend, revise, suspend, or discontinue the Plan in whole or in part; provided,
however, that any amendment to the Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company if the
amendment would (a) materially increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be
issued under the Plan, (b) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation
in the Plan, or (c) materially increase the benefits accruing to Eligible Directors under the Plan.
Any such amendment shall, to the extent deemed necessary by the Committee, be applicable to any
outstanding Restricted Stock Awards theretofore granted under the Plan, notwithstanding any
contrary provisions contained in any Restricted Stock Agreement. In the event of any such
amendment to the Plan, the holder of any Restricted Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan shall,
upon request of the Committee and as a condition to the applicable lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions
thereon, execute a conforming amendment in the form prescribed by the Committee to any Restricted
Stock Agreement relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary,
unless required by law, no action contemplated or permitted by this Article 7 shall adversely
affect any rights of Eligible Directors or obligations of the Company to Eligible Directors with
respect to any Restricted Stock Awards theretofore granted under the Plan without the consent of
the affected Eligible Director.

Article 8

TERM

     The Plan shall be effective as of the date that the Plan is approved by the stockholders of
the Company. Unless sooner terminated by action of the Board, the Plan will terminate on May 1,
2020, but Restricted Stock Awards granted before that date will continue to be effective in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective Restricted Stock Agreement.

 

 

Article 9

CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

     If at any time while the Plan is in effect, or Restricted Stock Awards are outstanding, there
shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
resulting from (1) the declaration or payment of a stock dividend, (2) any recapitalization
resulting in a stock split-up, combination, or exchange of shares of Common Stock, or (3) other
increase or decrease in such shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by
the Company, then and in such event:

     (a) An appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock then subject to being awarded under the Plan and in the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that may be awarded to an Eligible Director to the end that the same proportion
of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall continue to be subject
to being so awarded.

     (b) Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number of outstanding shares of
Restricted Stock with respect to which Forfeiture Restrictions have not yet lapsed prior to
any such change.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its
capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class,
either in connection with direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe
therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares
or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to the number of outstanding shares of Restricted Stock.

     Upon the occurrence of each event requiring an adjustment with respect to any Restricted Stock
Award, the Company shall communicate by reasonable means intended to reach each affected Eligible
Director its computation of such adjustment which shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon
each such Eligible Director.

Article 10

RECAPITALIZATION, MERGER AND

CONSOLIDATION; CHANGE IN CONTROL

     10.1 The existence of this Plan and Restricted Stock Awards granted hereunder shall not affect
in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all
adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Company’s capital
structure and its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds,
debentures, preferred or preference stocks ranking prior to or otherwise affecting the Common Stock
or the rights thereof (or any rights, options, or warrants to purchase same), or the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business,
or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

 

 

     10.2 Subject to any required action by the stockholders, if the Company shall be the surviving
or resulting corporation in any merger, consolidation or share exchange, any Restricted Stock
Awards granted hereunder shall pertain to and apply to the securities or rights (including cash,
property, or assets) to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
Restricted Stock Awards would have been entitled.

     10.3 In the event of any merger, consolidation or share exchange pursuant to which the Company
is not the surviving or resulting corporation, there shall be substituted for each share of Common
Stock subject to the outstanding Restricted Stock Awards, that number of shares of each class of
stock or other securities or that amount of cash, property, or assets of the surviving, resulting
or consolidated company which were distributed or distributable to the stockholders of the Company
in respect to each share of Common Stock held by them, such outstanding Restricted Stock Awards to
be thereafter applicable to such stock, securities, cash, or property in accordance with their
terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such Restricted Stock Awards may be canceled by
the Company as of the effective date of any such reorganization, merger, consolidation, or share
exchange by giving notice to each holder thereof or his personal representative of its intention to
do so and by permitting the purchase by the Company during the thirty (30) day period next
preceding such effective date of all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding
Restricted Stock Awards at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of
purchase.

     10.4 In the event of a Change of Control, then, notwithstanding any other provision in this
Plan to the contrary, all Restricted Stock Awards outstanding shall thereupon automatically be
vested. The determination of the Committee that any of the foregoing conditions has been met shall
be binding and conclusive on all parties.

Article 11

LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION

     In case the Company shall, at any time while any Restricted Stock Award under this Plan shall
be in force and remain unexpired, (i) sell all or substantially all of its property, or (ii)
dissolve, liquidate, or wind up its affairs, then each Eligible Director shall be thereafter
entitled to receive, in lieu of each share of Common Stock of the Company in which the Eligible
Director is vested, pursuant to the terms of the Eligible Director’s Restricted Stock Agreement, as
of the date the Company sells all or substantially all of its property, or dissolves, liquidates or
winds up its affairs, the same kind and amount of any securities or assets as may be issuable,
distributable, or payable upon any such sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up with respect
to each share of Common Stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in
its sole and absolute discretion accelerate the vesting of any Eligible Director’s Restricted Stock
Award in connection with any sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up contemplated in this
Article 11.

 

 

Article 12

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     12.1 Investment Intent. The Company may require that there be presented to and filed
with it by any Eligible Director under the Plan, such evidence as it may deem necessary to
establish that the shares of Common Stock to be received from a Restricted Stock Award are being
acquired for investment and not with a view to their distribution.

     12.2 No Right to Continued Board Membership. The grant of Restricted Stock shall not
be construed as giving an Eligible Director the right to be retained as a Director of the Company.
The Board may at any time fail or refuse to nominate an Eligible Director for reelection to the
Board, the stockholders of the Company may at any election fail or refuse to reelect any Eligible
Director to the Board or an Eligible Director may be subject to Removal, in each case, free from
any liability or claim under the Plan or any Restricted Stock Award except as expressly set forth
herein.

     12.3 Indemnification of Board and Committee. No member of the Board or the Committee,
nor any Officer or Employee acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally
liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to
the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any Officer or Employee acting
on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the
Company in respect of any such action, determination, or interpretation.

     12.4 Effect of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan nor any action of the
Board or the Committee shall be deemed to give any person any right to be granted a Restricted
Stock Award or any other rights except as may be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement, or any
amendment thereto, duly authorized by the Committee and executed on behalf of the Company, and then
only to the extent and upon the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein.

     12.5 Severability And Reformation. The Company intends all provisions of the Plan to
be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Accordingly, should a court of competent
jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of the Plan is too broad to be enforced as
written, the court should reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be
enforceable. If, however, any provision of the Plan is held to be wholly illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable under present or future law, such provision shall be fully severable and severed, and
the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision
were never a part hereof, and the remaining provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and
effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its
severance.

     12.6 Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of Kansas.

     12.7 Compliance With Other Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue shares of

 

 

Common Stock under any Restricted Stock Award if the issuance thereof would constitute a
violation by the Eligible Director or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any
governmental authority or any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or
other forum in which shares of Common Stock are quoted or traded (including without limitation
Section 16 of the Exchange Act); and, as a condition of any sale or issuance of shares of Common
Stock under a Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may require such agreements or undertakings, if
any, as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or
regulation. The Plan, the grant and exercise of Restricted Stock Awards hereunder, and the
obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to all
applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any government or
regulatory agency as may be required.

     12.8 Legend. Each certificate representing shares of Restricted Stock issued to a
Eligible Director shall bear the following legend, or a similar legend deemed by the Company to
constitute an appropriate notice of the provisions hereof (any such certificate not having such
legend shall be surrendered upon demand by the Company and so endorsed):

          On the face of the certificate:

“Transfer of this stock is restricted in accordance with
conditions printed on the reverse of this certificate.”

          On the reverse:

“The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate are
subject to and transferable only in accordance with that
certain CEC Entertainment, Inc. Non-Employee Directors
Restricted Stock Plan, a copy of which is on file at the
principal office of the Company in Irving, Texas. No
transfer or pledge of the shares evidenced hereby may be
made except in accordance with and subject to the provisions
of said Plan. By acceptance of this certificate, any
holder, transferee or pledgee hereof agrees to be bound by
all of the provisions of said Plan.”

     The following legend shall be inserted on a certificate evidencing Common Stock issued under
the Plan if the shares were not issued in a transaction registered under the applicable federal and
state securities laws:

“Shares of stock represented by this certificate have been
acquired by the holder for investment and not for resale,
transfer or distribution, have been issued pursuant to
exemptions from the registration requirements of applicable
state and federal securities laws, and may not be offered
for sale, sold or transferred other than pursuant to
effective registration under such laws, or in transactions
otherwise in compliance with such laws, and upon evidence
satisfactory

 

 

to the Company of compliance with such laws, as to which the
Company may rely upon an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Company.”

     A copy of this Plan shall be kept on file in the principal office of the Company in Irving,
Texas.
