CHROMCRAFT REVINGTON, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED DIRECTORS' STOCK PLAN
(EFFECTIVE AS OF DECEMBER 1, 2005)
ARTICLE I
PURPOSE AND DURATION
SECTION 1.1. HISTORY AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN. The Directors' Stock Option Plan of Chromcraft Revington, Inc. was originally adopted effective as of January 1, 2002. Effective as of December 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to increase the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan from Seventy-Five Thousand (75,000) to One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares. The Plan was subsequently amended and restated, again effective as of December 1, 2005, principally to (i) provide for the granting of Shares of Restricted Stock in addition to Options, and (ii) rename the Plan as the Directors' Stock Plan.
The Plan is designed to promote the interests of Chromcraft Revington, Inc. and its stockholders through the granting of Options and Restricted Stock to the non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors, thereby encouraging their focus on enhancing long-term stockholder value of the Company.
SECTION 1.2. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION. Options and Restricted Stock may be granted hereunder for a period of ten (10) years commencing December 1, 2005. However, no Options can be exercised and no Shares of Restricted Stock can vest until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company. No Options or Shares of Restricted Stock will be awarded after December 1, 2015. On that date, the Plan will expire, except as to outstanding grants of Restricted Stock which have not vested and outstanding Options, with such Shares of Restricted Stock to become vested or forfeited and such Options to remain in effect until they have been exercised, terminated or have lapsed, as applicable.

ADMINISTRATION
SECTION 3.1. THE COMMITTEE. The Plan will be administered by the Committee. The decision or action of a majority of the actual number of members of the Committee will constitute the decision or action of the Committee. The Committee will consist of not less than three Directors. The members of the Committee will be appointed from time to time by, and will serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors. It is intended that the Committee be comprised solely of Directors, each of whom is (a) independent under the director independence requirements of the principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then listed or traded, or (b) a "non-employee director" under Rule 16b-3. Failure of the Committee to be so comprised will not result in the cancellation, termination, expiration, or lapse of any Award.
SECTION 3.2. AUTHORITY OF THE COMMITTEE. Except as limited by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, and subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have full power and discretion to construe and interpret the Plan, all Award Agreements and any other agreements or instruments entered into under the Plan; establish, amend or waive rules and regulations for the Plan's administration; and amend the terms and conditions of any Award and applicable Award Agreement to the extent such terms and conditions are within the discretion of the Committee as provided in the Plan. The Committee will make all other determinations which may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Each Award will be evidenced by a written Award Agreement between the Company and the Director and will contain such terms and conditions established by the Committee consistent with the provisions of the Plan.
The Committee's interpretations, decisions, determinations and actions under the Plan will be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and as it deems advisable or appropriate.

The Committee will determine whether each Award under the Plan will be made in either Options or Restricted Stock, or in a combination of Options and Restricted Stock in which latter case the Committee will make an appropriate adjustment to the number of Options and Shares of Restricted Stock subject to an Award so that the value or effect of the Award will be substantially similar to an Award made under either Section 6.1 or Section 7.1 but not an aggregate of both such Sections.
SECTION 3.3. DELEGATION BY THE COMMITTEE. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more Directors or officers of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority and powers (a) with respect to Awards to Section 16 Persons, or (b) in any way which would jeopardize the Plan's qualification under or compliance with Rule 16b-3 or other a ...
