RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT


(Time-Based)


 


THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(this “Award Agreement”) is made effective as of April 18, 2022 (the “Date of Grant”), between
Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Kevin M. Sheehan
(the “Participant”).


 


R
E C I T A L S:


 


WHEREAS, the Company has adopted
the Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”);
and


 


WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders to grant the award (the “Award”) of restricted stock units (each, an “RSU”)
provided for herein to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:


 


1.            Grant
of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant 45,146 RSUs. All of the RSU Award will vest in three installments as follows:
15,049 RSUs on April 18, 2023, 15,049 RSUs on April 18, 2024 and 15,048 RSUs on April 18, 2025, subject to earlier vesting
in accordance with Section 3 below (the date of vesting, the “Vesting Date”). Each RSU represents one notional share
of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (each, a “Share”), provided that the RSUs shall be settled
in Shares in accordance with Section 2 below.


 


2.            Settlement;
Payment.


 


(a)            RSUs.
Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4 hereof, and to the extent that
it would not cause a violation of Section 409A, each RSU shall be settled by the issuance of a Share as soon as practicable following
the Vesting Date, and in all events no later than sixty (60) days following the Vesting Date, as determined solely by the Company (the
date of settlement, the “Settlement Date”). RSUs settled via Share issuance shall be distributed to the Participant
or the Participant’s legal representative; provided, that the Company may, at its election, either (a) on or after the Settlement
Date, issue a certificate representing the Shares subject to this Award Agreement, or (b) not issue any certificate representing
Shares subject to this Award Agreement and instead document the Participant’s or the Participant’s legal representative’s
interest in the Shares by registering the Shares with the Company's transfer agent (or another custodian selected by the Company) in book-entry
form.

(b)            Award
Subject to Clawback Policy. The Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant is bound by, and the Award is subject to,
any clawback policy adopted by the Committee from time to time.


 


3.            Termination
of Service. Under the Plan, the term “Service” is defined as the role of employee, director or consultant. Termination
of Service would then mean the Participant is serving in none of those roles. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:


 


(a)            Termination
of Service Due to Death or Disability. Upon a termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of death or Disability that
occurs at any time prior to the Settlement Date, then the Award shall be settled in accordance with Section 2 above in respect of
the number of then-outstanding RSUs, except that notwithstanding Section 1, such RSUs shall be immediately fully vested and settled
on the Settlement Date next following such termination of Service, subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 2 above.


 


For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Disability”
means (i) “Disability” as defined in any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates,
or (ii) if there is no such employment agreement or if it does not define Disability: the Participant is disabled to the extent that
he or she is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or is
receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees
of Dave & Buster’s Management Corporation, Inc. The determination of the Participant’s Disability shall be made
in good faith by a physician reasonably acceptable to the Company.


 


(b)            Termination
without Cause or for Good Reason related to a Change of Control. Upon (i) a termination of the Participant’s Service by
the Company or one of its successors or Affiliates without Cause or due to the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason (excluding
termination by reason of death or Disability), in either case prior to the Settlement Date (a “Specified Termination”)
and (ii) the Specified Termination occurs either within ninety (90) days before or within twelve (12) months following the occurrence
of a Change of Control of the Company (the “Protected Period”), that occurs at any time prior to the Settlement Date,
then the Award shall be settled in accordance with Section 2 above in respect of the number of then-outstanding RSUs, except that
notwithstanding Section 1, such RSUs shall be immediately fully vested and thereafter settled on the Settlement Date next following
such termination of Service, subject to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 2 above; provided, that if a Specified
Termination should occur prior to a Change of Control of the Company, the Award shall remain outstanding for up to ninety (90) days following
such Specified Termination in order to determine whether such Specified Termination shall have occurred during a Protected Period such
that the Award shall be eligible for settlement pursuant to this Section 3(b).


 


(c)            Termination
without Cause. Upon a termination of the Participant’s Service by the Company or one of its successors or Affiliates without
Cause, that occurs at any time prior to the Settlement Date, then the Award shall be settled in accordance with Section 2 above in
respect of the number of then-outstanding RSUs that would have vested on the applicable date of vesting coincident with or next following
such termination of Service, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed after the immediately preceding
date of vesting through and including the date of termination of Service, and the denominator of which is 365, except that notwithstanding
Section 1, such RSUs shall be fully vested and settled on the Settlement Date next following such termination of Service, subject
to the applicable limitations set forth in Section 2 above.

(d)            For
purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” means (x) “Cause” as defined in any employment agreement
between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (y) if there is no such employment agreement or if it does not
define Cause: the willful and continued failure by the Participant to perform the duties assigned by the Company, failure to follow reasonable
business-related directions from the Company, gross insubordination, theft from the Company or its Affiliates, habitual absenteeism or
tardiness, conviction or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony, misdemeanor involving fraud, theft or moral turpitude,
or any other reckless or willful misconduct that is contrary to the best interests of the Company or materially and adversely affects
the reputation of the Company.


 


(e)            For
purposes of this Award Agreement, “Good Reason” means (i) “Good Reason” as defined in any employment
agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) if there is no such employment agreement or if
it does not define Good Reason: Without the Participant’s consent, (A) a material reduction in the Participant’s annual
base salary or (B) a relocation of the Participant’s primary place of employment with the Company by more than fifty (50) miles
from that in effect as of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that neither item (A) nor item (B) shall constitute Good Reason
unless the Participant has provided written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event and the Company
shall have failed to cure such event within thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice.


 


(f)            Other
Terminations of Service. Upon a termination of the Participant’s Service prior to the Settlement Date for any reason other than
pursuant to Sections 3(a), 3(b), and 3(c) above, the Award, including any then-outstanding RSUs, shall immediately terminate
and be forfeited without consideration.


 


(g)            Release.
Upon a termination of the Participant’s Service prior to the Settlement Date for termination without Cause pursuant to Section 3(c),
settlement of any Award shall be conditioned first upon the Participant’s execution of a fully effective and non-revocable general
release (“Release”) in favor of the Company, its Board of Directors, Affiliates, and employees, in such form as reasonably
approved by the Company and the Participant within sixty (60) days of the Participant’s termination of Service, which Release shall
be provided to the Participant within five (5) days of the Participant’s termination of Service.


 


4.            No
Right to Continued Service. The granting of the Award evidenced hereby and this Award Agreement shall impose no obligation on the
Company or any Affiliate to continue the Service of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company or any Affiliate
may have to terminate the Service of such Participant.

5.            Shareholder
Rights. Neither the Participant nor the Participant’s representative shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with
respect to the RSUs until such Person receives the Shares, if any, issued upon settlement.


 


6.            Non-Solicitation
and Non-Hire. If the Participant has an employment agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that contains non-solicitation
and/or non-hire covenants, the covenants are incorporated into this Award Agreement by reference. To the extent the Participant does not
have an employment agreement containing such covenants, the following restrictive covenants shall apply:


 


As a material incentive for
the Company to enter into this Award Agreement, during the term of the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
and for a period of twelve (12) months from the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason (including, without limitation,
resignation by the Participant) (the "Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire Period") the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly,
on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person, partnership, entity, association, or corporation, induce or attempt
to influence, induce, or encourage anyone who is or, within the six (6) months prior to the date of termination was, an employee
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or above the managerial level (including, without limitation, General Managers, Assistant
General Managers, store departmental managers, and all higher-ranking managers) (for purposes of this Section 6, an “Employee”),
client, supplier, vendor, licensee, distributor, contractor or other business relation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to cease
doing business with, adversely alter or interfere with its business relationship with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Further,
during the Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire Period, the Participant shall not, on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any
other person, partnership, entity, association, or corporation, (i) solicit or seek to hire any Employee, or in any other manner
attempt directly or indirectly to influence, induce, or encourage any Employee to leave their employ (provided, however, that nothing
herein shall restrict the Participant from engaging in any general solicitation that is not specifically targeted at such persons), nor
shall the Participant use or disclose to any person, partnership, entity, association, or corporation any information concerning the names,
addresses or personal telephone numbers of any Employee, (ii) without the Company's prior written consent, hire, employ or engage
as a consultant any Employee, or (iii) directly or indirectly solicit, induce, or attempt to influence, induce, or encourage any
person, partnership, entity, association, or corporation that is a client or customer of the Company or its Subsidiaries and who or which
the Participant helped to schedule or conduct a special event or corporate teambuilding while employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries
to schedule or conduct a special event or corporate teambuilding through another person, partnership, entity, association, or corporation.

limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations,
and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. If the
Company deems it necessary to ensure that the issuance of securities under the Plan is not required to be registered under any applicable
securities laws, the Participant shall deliver to the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations, warranties
and covenants as the Company which satisfies such requirements. The certificates representing the Shares shall be subject to such stop
transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends

Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred
or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation,
pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided
that, the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.
No such permitted transfer of the Award to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee
shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the

9.            Withholding.
The Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to

in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.
