In addition, as of the Effective Date, the Company and Mr. Barr will enter into a Company severance agreement (the “Severance Agreement”) that is in a form substantially similar to the Company’s Amended and Restated Severance Agreement, which form was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on January 5, 2024, except for the following provisions:

1.If CarMax terminates Mr. Barr’s employment for any reason other than for “cause” or Mr. Barr terminates his employment for “good reason”, then he shall be entitled to, among other things, two times the sum of his base salary and his target annual bonus, payable in 52 biweekly installments.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Barr and any director or executive officer of the Company, and no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Barr and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer or a member of the Board.

CARMAX, INC.
NOTICE OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

[_________, 20__]

[NAME/ADDRESS]

Dear [NAME]

The Board of Directors of CarMax, Inc. (the “Company”) wants to provide you with an opportunity to share in the success of our Company.  Accordingly, I am pleased to inform you that, as of _________________ (the “Grant Date”), the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) exercised its authority pursuant to the CarMax, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”) and granted you Restricted Stock Units of the Company (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as set forth herein.

The Restricted Stock Units are subject to the provisions of the Plan.  The Committee administers the Plan.  The terms of the Plan are incorporated into this Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant (the “Notice of Grant”) and in the case of any conflict between the Plan and this Notice of Grant, the terms of the Plan shall control.  All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan.  Please refer to the Plan for certain conditions not set forth in this Notice of Grant.  Additionally, a copy of a Prospectus for the Plan, which describes material terms of the Plan, can be found on The CarMax Way.  Copies of the Prospectus, the Plan and the Company’s most recently filed annual report to shareholders on Form 10-K are available from the Company’s corporate secretary at (804) 747-0422.

Number of Restricted Stock Units:            
Grant Date Fair Market Value:                

A.    Vesting of Restricted Stock Units

Except as otherwise provided in this Notice of Grant, all the Restricted Stock Units will vest and become nonforfeitable on _________________ (the “Specified Date”), or such earlier date as may be provided in this Notice of Grant or the Plan (collectively, the “Vesting Date”) provided you continue to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries until the Vesting Date. All unvested Restricted Stock Units remaining after the first anniversary of the Grant Date will terminate and be completely forfeited. If prior to any Vesting Date, your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than those described in Section B, then any unvested Restricted Stock Units (and any related dividend equivalent rights) subject to this Notice of Grant shall terminate and be completely forfeited on the date of such termination of your employment. To the extent that you do not vest in any Restricted Stock Units, all interest in such units, the related shares of Company Stock, and any related dividend equivalent rights shall be forfeited. You shall have no right or interest in any Restricted Stock Unit or related share of Company Stock that is forfeited. Prior to payment, none of the Restricted Stock Units and any interest therein may be sold, assigned, transferred, hypothecated, exchanged, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to transfers by the Company.

B.    Additional Vesting and Forfeiture Provisions

1.Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. If prior to the Vesting Date: (a) the Company terminates your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in Section B.4), or (b) you have an effective severance or employment agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and you terminate your employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in such agreement), if applicable, then the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above will become immediately vested and nonforfeitable, effective as of the date of your termination.




2.Death or Disability. If you die or become Disabled prior to the Vesting Date, the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above will become immediately vested and nonforfeitable, effective as of the date of your death or Disability.

3.Retirement. If prior to the Vesting Date: (a) your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates, (b) such termination is not for Cause and not due to your death or Disability, and (c) as of the date of the termination you have: (i) attained 55 years of age and completed ten years or more of continuous employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) attained 62 years of age and completed seven years or more of continuous employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries; or (iii) attained 65 years of age and completed five years or more of continuous employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries; then all of your Restricted Stock Units will become immediately vested and nonforfeitable, and will be paid on the Vesting Date.

4.Termination For Cause. Upon termination of your employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for Cause, and notwithstanding anything in Section B to the contrary, your Restricted Stock Units will immediately and automatically without any action on the part of you or the Company, be forfeited, effective as of the date of your termination. For purposes of this Notice of Grant, “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in your severance agreement with the Company.

5.Change in Full-Time Employment Status.  In the event that your employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries changes from full-time to part-time for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, and notwithstanding the terms of Section B.3, your Restricted Stock Units will be immediately forfeited, effective as of the date of the change. Employees on authorized leave (as determined under the Company’s or its Subsidiary's authorized leave policy) will not be considered as having terminated merely by reason of the leave.

C.    Payment for Restricted Stock Units

1.    Payment Schedule. Payment for your Restricted Stock Units shall be made in shares of Company Stock upon the earliest to occur of the payment dates set forth below (the earliest date shall be the “Payment Date”):

a)    Specified Date. Restricted Stock Units, if vested, (and related dividend equivalent rights), shall be paid upon the Specified Date.

b)    Death or Disability. One hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid Restricted Stock Units (and related dividend equivalent rights), if vested, shall be paid upon the date of your death or the date your termination of employment as a result of your Disability.

c)     Retirement. One hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid Restricted Stock Units (and related dividend equivalent rights), if vested in accordance with Section B.3 above, shall be paid upon your “Separation from Service” (as defined in Code section 409A and the regulations thereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required under Code section 409A, to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units are payable upon a Separation from Service and to the extent such payment would otherwise result in the imposition of any individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Code section 409A, the settlement and payment of the Restricted Stock Units shall instead be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such Separation from Service (or death, if earlier).
2




The Company shall deliver all shares of Company Stock issuable pursuant to such vested Restricted Stock Units in the form of a single distribution within 60 days of the Payment Date, subject to Section F below.

2.    Method of Payment. The value of each Restricted Stock Unit on the Payment Date shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock. The Company will deliver (via certificate or such other method as the Company determines) any shares of Company Stock payable pursuant to Section C.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to refuse to deliver any shares of Company Stock under this Notice of Grant if the Company acting in its absolute discretion determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares may violate any applicable law or regulation.

3.    Expiration upon Payment. Upon delivery of Company Stock in accordance with this Notice of Grant, the portion of the Restricted Stock Units attributable to such Company Stock shall be extinguished and such number of Restricted Stock Units will not be considered to be held by you for any purpose.

D.    No Shareholder Rights

The Restricted Stock Units shall not represent an equity security of the Company and shall not carry any voting or dividend rights. However, you will have the right to receive payments equivalent to dividends as set forth below. You are an unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to any payment relating to vested Restricted Stock Units.

E.    Dividend Equivalent Rights

You shall accumulate dividend equivalent rights on each Restricted 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 Restricted 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 shares of Company Stock when the payment for the corresponding Restricted Stock Unit is made in accordance with Section C.1. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock Unit to which they relate.

F.    Tax Withholding

The Company or its Subsidiary may withhold from your Restricted 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 Restricted 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 reimburse it for any Tax Withholdings and withhold any payments, in whole or in part, until the Company or its Subsidiary is so reimbursed. 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

3



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 Restricted Stock Units, and the Grant Date Fair Market Value 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 Restricted 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 Restricted Stock Units does not obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to continue your employment. If there is any litigation involving the Restricted 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, the Company shall bear all expenses related to the arbitration, 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 Restricted 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.


J.    Acceptance

By accepting this grant online, 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.” You also agree not to sell Company Stock at a time when other applicable laws prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as you are an employee, consultant or director of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.


Sincerely,

3.    Remitting payment to satisfy the income tax withholding requirements for non-statutory options or making other arrangements to satisfy such withholding that are satisfactory to the Company and permitted by the Plan.
Death or Disability

If your employment by the Company terminates because you die or become disabled, all of your Options covered by this Notice of Grant will become immediately vested and exercisable, effective as of the date of the termination of your employment, and you, your personal representative, distributees, or legatees, as applicable, may exercise your vested Options at any time before the Expiration Date.

Age and Service Vesting

If your employment with the Company is terminated and such termination is not for Cause, and, as of the date of the termination you have:

1.    Attained 55 years of age and completed ten years of continuous employment with the Company; 
2.    Attained 62 years of age and completed seven years of continuous employment with the Company; or

Transferability of Options

Except as provided below, the Options are not transferable by you other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and are exercisable during your lifetime only by you.  You may transfer your rights under the Option during your lifetime subject to the following limitations:
1.    Transfers are allowed only to the following transferees:
Internal Use Only

a)    Your spouse, children, step-children, grandchildren, step-grandchildren or other lineal descendants (including relationships arising from legal adoptions).  Such individuals are hereinafter referred to as “Immediate Family Members”.

2.You may not receive any consideration in connection with the transfer.
3.Transferees may not subsequently transfer their rights under the Option except by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.
4.Following the transfer, the Option will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer (except that the transferee may deliver the Option exercise notice and payment of the exercise price).
5.You must give written notice of the transfer to the Company and the Company may require that any transfer is conditioned upon the transferee executing any document or agreement requested by the Company.
Any Option transferred in accordance with the terms hereof shall be accompanied by the associated SAR.

Change of Control; SARs

Pursuant to this Notice of Grant, you have been granted one (1) SAR for every Option granted to you hereunder.  Following a Change of Control, in lieu of exercising your vested Options, you may choose to exercise the SARs associated with such vested Options and granted hereunder.  Doing so will relieve you of the obligation to pay for the exercise of your Options as described above and, instead, will allow you to receive a cash payment of the net value of your SARs as calculated below without having to remit any payment to the Company.  The SARs granted in connection with the Options are limited SARs and may be exercised in accordance with the Plan and the terms hereof as follows:

1.    The SARs shall only be exercisable if a Change of Control occurs.  In such event, the SARs will be exercisable at any time during a period of 90 days beginning on the date the Change of Control occurs.  To the extent that the SARs or their underlying Options are not exercised during an exercise period, the SARs will become unexercisable again until such time as another Change of Control occurs or [EXPIRE_DATE], when they expire.
2.    When the SARs become exercisable, you may exercise the SARs by giving written notice to the Company, signed by you, stating the number of SARs that you are exercising.
3.    Upon exercise of the SARs, you shall receive in exchange from the Company an amount equal to the excess of (x) the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise, over (y) the exercise price of the underlying Option.  For purposes of this paragraph, the value of the Company’s common stock shall be the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise.
4.    The Company’s obligation arising upon exercise of the SARs shall be paid in cash and shall be subject to required income tax withholdings.
Internal Use Only
4



5.    To the extent a SAR is exercised, the underlying Option must be surrendered.  The underlying Option, to the extent surrendered, shall no longer be exercisable.
Change in Capital Structure

If the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common 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 Company shares for which you have unexercised Options and the exercise price will automatically be adjusted, as provided in the Plan, (i) so as to preserve the ratio that existed immediately before the change between the number of such shares and the total number of shares of Company stock previously outstanding, and (ii) so that your aggregate Option price remains the same; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to issue any fractional shares upon exercise of your Options as a result of such adjustment.

Legal Fees

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the Associate’s qualifications, experience and expertise, and has appointed the Associate as Chief Executive Officer;
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;
WHEREAS, the Company and the Associate desire to agree upon the terms, conditions, compensation and benefits of the Associate’s future employment; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Associate’s 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 Chief Executive Officer. 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 the CarMax Board of Directors (the “Board”) and that are consistent with his position as Chief Executive Officer.
Article 3.Standard of Care.
3.1General. During the term of this Agreement, the Associate shall devote the Associate’s full business time, attention, knowledge and skills to CarMax’s business and interests. The Associate covenants, warrants, and represents that the Associate shall:

CarMax may require the Associate to forfeit, return or reimburse CarMax all or a portion of the Associate’s compensation pursuant to the terms of the clawback policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws. No recovery of the Associate’s compensation under a clawback policy or otherwise will constitute an event that triggers or contributes to any right the Associate may have to resign for Good Reason or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement (including this Agreement), arrangement or policy with CarMax. The Associate further waives any rights the Associate may have to indemnification, insurance payments or other reimbursement for any such compensation that is subject to recoupment and / or forfeiture under the clawback policy.

8.3In connection with the Associate’s employment with CarMax, the Associate 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.

9


8.4In 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 (as defined below), 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: ACV Auctions, Inc.; Asbury Automotive Group, Inc.; America’s Car-Mart Inc.; Auction Direct USA; AutoNation, Inc.; Avis Budget Group, Inc.; Blinker, Inc.; Byrider; CarGroup Holdings, LLC, d/b/a WeBuyAnyCar.com; CarGurus, Inc.; Cars.com, Inc.; Carvana, LLC; Carvana Group, LLC; Copart, Inc.; Cox Automotive, Inc.; Dealer Dot Com, Inc.; DriveTime Car Sales Company, LLC; DriveTime Automotive Group, Inc.; Enterprise Holdings, Inc.; GiveMeTheVIN LLC; Group 1 Automotive, Inc.; Hendrick Automotive Group; Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.; Lithia Motors, Inc.; New Century Auto Sales, Inc., d/b/a RightWay Auto Sales; OPENLANE, Inc.

Ltd. For purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of this Agreement, the term “Indirectly” means that Associate will not assist others in performing those activities that Associate is prohibited from engaging in directly pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
8.5A 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.
8.6Acting “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.

10


8.7Nothing 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.
8.8Notwithstanding 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.
8.9The 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.
8.10The 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article 9 shall not preclude Associate from soliciting or hiring any person who: (i) responds to a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation not specifically directed at employees of CarMax and who is no longer providing (and is otherwise under no contractual obligation to provide) services to CarMax or (ii) was Associate’s executive assistant or secretary as of the end of Associate’s employment.
Article 10.Confidentiality.
The terms and provisions contained in this Article 10 comprise a covenant of confidentiality (the “Covenant of Confidentiality”).

Richmond, VA 23238
15.2Amendments and Entire Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing executed by CarMax and the Associate. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of CarMax and the Associate relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral and written understandings and agreements relating to such subject matter, including the Prior Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Associate’s employment shall, to the extent not addressed or described in this Agreement, be governed by CarMax’s then-current policies and procedures and existing practices.
15.3Successors and Assigns. The Associate hereby consents to CarMax’s assignment of this Agreement to any affiliate, subsidiary or parent of CarMax at any time. Any other assignment by either party of the rights and obligations of such party hereunder shall not be made without the prior written consent of such other party.
15.4Severability. All provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable law, and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable under any applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement or any application thereof shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of other provisions of this Agreement or of any other application of such provision shall in no way be affected thereby. The Restrictive Covenants shall be severable, and if any of them is held invalid because of its duration, scope of area or activity, or any other reason, the parties agree that such covenant shall be adjusted or modified by the court to the extent necessary to cure that invalidity, and the modified covenant shall thereafter be enforceable as if originally made in this Agreement.
15.5Attorney’s Fees. In any action arising under this Agreement, CarMax, so long as it prevails, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
15.6Waiver of Rights. No waiver by CarMax or the Associate of a right or remedy hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or remedy or of any subsequent right or remedy of the same kind.
15.7Restrictive Covenants of the Essence. The Restrictive Covenants in Articles 8, 9 and 10 of the Agreement are of the essence of this Agreement. In the event that the Associate has a claim or cause of action against CarMax (whether related to this Agreement or not), such claim or cause of action, including but not limited to a breach of this Agreement by CarMax, shall not prevent or otherwise constitute a defense to CarMax’s enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants and shall not excuse the Associate’s performance of the Restrictive Covenants. CarMax shall at all times maintain the right to seek enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants whether or not CarMax has previously refrained from seeking enforcement of any such Restrictive Covenant as to the Associate or any other peer Associate who has signed an agreement with similar covenants.

14


15.8Tax Considerations. All amounts payable under this Agreement are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). To the extent that any amounts payable in accordance with this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in such a way as to comply with Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. Each installment payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying Section 409A. If payment of any amount subject to Section 409A is triggered by a separation from service that occurs while the Associate is a “specified employee” (as defined by Section 409A), and if such amount is scheduled to be paid within six (6) months after such separation from service, the amount shall accrue without interest and shall be paid the first business day after the end of such six-month period, or, if earlier, within 15 days following the Associate’s death. “Last day of employment,” “termination” or words of similar import, as used in this Agreement shall mean, with respect to any payments subject to Section 409A, the Associate’s “separation from service” as defined by Section 409A. If any payment subject to Section 409A is contingent on the delivery of a release and waiver of claims by the Associate and could occur in either of two calendar years, the payment will occur in the second calendar year. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax treatment to the Associate. The Associate shall be solely responsible for the tax consequences with respect to all amounts payable under this Agreement, and in no event shall CarMax have any responsibility or liability if this Agreement does not meet any applicable requirements of Section 409A.
15.9Limitation on Payments. In the event that the Associate receives any payments or distributions, whether payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Payment”) that constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) and, but for this Section 15.9, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall either be (a) delivered in full, or (b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Associate on an after-tax basis, of the largest payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion the Payment may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. The determinations to be made with respect to this Section 15.9. shall be made by a certified public accounting firm designated by CarMax and reasonably acceptable to the Associate. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon CarMax and the Associate. Any reduction in payments and/or benefits pursuant to this Section will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits payable to the Associate.
15.10Definitions: Headings and Numbers; Construction. A term defined in any part of this Agreement shall have the defined meaning wherever such term is used herein. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any manner the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Where appropriate to the context of this Agreement, use of the singular shall be deemed also to refer to the plural, and use of the plural to the singular. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced without any presumption or construction against the party drafting the Agreement.
15.11Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

15


15.12Governing Laws and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof. In the event of any litigation between CarMax and Associate related to the enforcement or enforceability of the Restrictive Covenants, the parties agree that the Circuit Court for the County of Henrico, Virginia, shall have mandatory and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any such action.
15.13Grants or Options. This Agreement does not affect the terms and conditions controlling, or status of, any stock options or grants of restricted stock which previously have been or later may be awarded to the Associate, except as provided in Article 3.2. Any vested stock options or grants of restricted stock are governed by the terms of the letters by which they were made, subject to Article 3.2, which are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full in this Agreement.
15.14No Encumbrances. In entering into this Agreement, the Associate certifies that the Associate possesses the legal capacity to do so, and that the Associate’s employment with CarMax is not in violation of any other valid agreement. The Associate agrees to hold CarMax harmless from any debts, judgments, or liens that the Associate acquired prior to entering into this Agreement. If the Associate is currently involved in, or becomes involved in, a lawsuit or any other legal proceeding unrelated to CarMax or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or related entities (collectively, the “CarMax Entities”), the Associate warrants that such CarMax Entities shall have no liability with respect to such lawsuit or legal proceeding and agrees to fully indemnify the CarMax Entities for any and all fees, costs and other expenses with respect to any such action.
15.15Opportunity to Review. The Associate acknowledges that the Associate has read this Agreement and has had an adequate opportunity to review it and to obtain any legal or financial advice that the Associate deems appropriate. The Associate acknowledges that the Associate has signed this Agreement freely and voluntarily.
15.16Company Offices and Directorships. Upon the termination of the Associate’s employment, however such termination is effected, the Associate shall be deemed to have resigned from all offices and directorships the Associate may have held with the Company and all subsidiaries and affiliates, effective as of the date of the termination.
Article 16.Protected Rights.
Notwithstanding any other terms and conditions of this Agreement:
The Associate understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits the Associate’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). The Associate further understands that this Agreement does not limit the Associate’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to CarMax. This Agreement does not limit the Associate’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.

CARMAX NAMES KEITH BARR AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
RICHMOND, Va., February 12, 2026 -- CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX) (“CarMax” or the “Company”) today announced that Keith Barr has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board of Directors (“the Board”), effective March 16, 2026. David McCreight, current Interim President and CEO of CarMax, will transition to his prior duties as an independent Director of the Board. Tom Folliard will remain in his role as Interim Executive Chair of the Board until the Company’s Annual Meeting in June 2026, after which he is expected to resume his prior duties as non-executive Chair of the Board.
Mr. Barr is a proven leader who has driven transformational growth and operational excellence across large-scale, consumer-centric businesses. Most recently, he served as Chief Executive Officer at InterContinental Hotels Group (NYSE: IHG), where he led one of the world's largest hospitality companies with 345,000 people working across more than 6,000 properties in over 100 countries. During his tenure, Mr. Barr reimagined IHG’s customer experience, modernized IHG's technology to support large-scale growth, and delivered substantial improvements in operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty. Notably, Mr. Barr oversaw the development of an innovative digital reservation system that enhanced the booking experience and empowered guests to personalize their stays, setting a new standard for the industry. Under Mr. Barr’s leadership, IHG grew market share across geographies and created significant value for shareholders. Mr. Barr also currently serves on the Board of Directors at MGM Resorts.
“The Board and I are thrilled to welcome Keith to CarMax. His decades of leadership experience and proven ability to enhance the customer experience, lead digital transformations, build brand loyalty, and effectively integrate online and physical properties make Keith the right choice to lead CarMax through a critical juncture and drive the company’s next chapter of growth,” said Mr. Folliard. “Keith’s values-based approach to leadership will enhance CarMax’s award-winning people-first culture, and he has demonstrated a clear ability to drive profitable sales growth alongside an unwavering focus on the consumer.”
Mr. Folliard continued, “We are grateful to David for stepping into the role of Interim CEO over the past several months. As we conducted a thorough search for the right leader for CarMax’s next phase, David’s leadership was vital to strengthen the business in the near-term and solidify the foundation from which we will grow.”
“I am honored to join CarMax and lead this iconic organization alongside our talented associates,” said Mr. Barr. “A car is one of the most important purchases American families make, and today’s consumer is increasingly seeking value and a customized shopping experience. I believe the large and highly fragmented used vehicle market is only in the early innings of meeting the needs of the modern consumer. CarMax is uniquely positioned to capture this opportunity by delivering the best value and service across both in-person and online channels, leveraging its transparent pricing, extensive inventory, and flexibility to shop however customers prefer. I'm excited to lead this great company into its next chapter of growth, building on more than three decades of market leadership.”

Mr. Barr has more than 25 years of executive leadership experience in global hospitality, consumer marketing, and brand-led growth across highly competitive and fast-evolving markets.
