A&amp;R Plan allows shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock to be optioned and sold
to employees (including officers) of the Company.&#160;&#160;The A&amp;R Plan is
filed as Exhibit 10(g) to the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended July 30, 1999, which is incorporated herein by this
reference.&#160;&#160;Recently, the A&amp;R Plan had not been used for option
grants to the Company&#8217;s senior executives because the potential tax benefits to
the Company would have been limited or possibly eliminated by applicable United
States federal tax law.&#160;&#160;The amendment approved by the shareholders on
November 25, 2008&#160;limits to 250,000 the number of shares of the Company&#8217;s
common stock that may be optioned under the A&amp;R Plan to any employee during
any fiscal year.&#160;&#160;The amendment is intended to ensure that the tax
benefits that the Company will receive when stock options granted to senior
executives under the A&amp;R Plan are exercised are not limited or
eliminated.&#160;&#160;This will allow greater flexibility in granting options
to senior executives in that shares available under the A&amp;R Plan may now be
used for senior executives without loss of the applicable tax
benefits.</font></div>

On
November 25, 2008, the shareholders of CBRL Group, Inc. (the "Company") approved
amendments to the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the "A&R Plan")
and the CBRL 2002 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Omnibus
Plan").
The
A&R Plan allows shares of the Company's common stock to be optioned and sold
to employees (including officers) of the Company.  The A&R Plan is
filed as Exhibit 10(g) to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended July 30, 1999, which is incorporated herein by this
reference.  Recently, the A&R Plan had not been used for option
grants to the Company's senior executives because the potential tax benefits to
the Company would have been limited or possibly eliminated by applicable United
States federal tax law.  The amendment approved by the shareholders on
November 25, 2008 limits to 250,000 the number of shares of the Company's
common stock that may be optioned under the A&R Plan to any employee during
any fiscal year.  The amendment is intended to ensure that the tax
benefits that the Company will receive when stock options granted to senior
executives under the A&R Plan are exercised are not limited or
eliminated.  This will allow greater flexibility in granting options
to senior executives in that shares available under the A&R Plan may now be
used for senior executives without loss of the applicable tax
benefits.
The
Omnibus Plan is a comprehensive incentive plan approved by the Company's
shareholders in 2002.  The Omnibus Plan provides for various stock and
option awards and also provides for limited cash awards.  The Omnibus
Plan also sets forth a list of general performance criteria that may be utilized
when structuring awards that are intended to be tax deductible under United
States federal tax law.  The Omnibus Plan and the prior amendment to
the Omnibus Plan are filed, respectively, as Exhibits 10(i) to each of our
Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended August 1, 2003 and July
29, 2005, and are incorporated herein by this reference.
The
Company's shareholders approved two amendments to the Omnibus Plan that are
intended to provide greater flexibility in structuring awards that are
deductible by the Company  under United States federal tax
law.  Initially, the shareholders approved adding to the list of
general performance criteria that may be used when structuring awards under the
Omnibus Plan the following:
·
satisfaction
      of specified business expansion
goals;
·
diversity
      goals;
·
turnover;
·
specified
      objective social goals;
·
hiring
      or retention of high-potential employees or
  executives;
·
growth
      in locations; and
·
brand
      positioning goals.

Additionally,
the Company's shareholders approved increasing the maximum cash award limit
under the Omnibus Plan from $1 million to $5 million.  Without the
increase, a cash award (even if performance-based) under the Omnibus Plan in
excess of $1 million would not have been deductible under United States federal
tax law.
