Dear Kevin, 
 I am excited to offer you the Senior Vice President, Game
Strategy & Entertainment position for Dave & Buster’s. Your start date has yet to be determined, but I hope it will be as soon as possible. The following will generally summarize our employment offer and your subsequent
acceptance. 
 YOUR ROLE 
 You will be
the Senior Vice President, Game Strategy & Entertainment. In this role, you will drive the evolution of our entertainment and game strategy from an on-premises restaurant/entertainment company to a leader in multi-platform digital
entertainment. You’ll lead the development and refinement of strategy, identify and pursue unique partnerships that keep Dave & Buster’s on the leading edge of entertainment, oversee research and development of proprietary games,
and make sure our Midways remain fresh and support ideal playing conditions. As a member of the Senior Executive team, you will be looked to as a model of Dave & Buster’s culture — treating each team member with respect, serving
to entertain, celebrating wins, and having a whole lot of FUN in the process. 
 YOUR LOCATION 

You will be based out of the Dave & Buster’s World Headquarters (WHQ) in Dallas, TX, WHQ is the support center for our stores. Each member of the WHQ team
is challenged to put the needs of our stores first, drive performance in key initiatives, and take actions that move Dave & Buster’s forward to new levels of success. 

YOUR BASE COMPENSATION 

Your total bi-weekly base compensation will be $10,192.31. That works out to $265,000 over the course of a year. 

YOUR BONUS 
 You will be eligible to
participate in Dave & Buster’s Executive Bonus Program. Your target bonus is 50% of your base salary. We love paying big bonuses, so read the plan documents that will be provided to study up on the eligibility requirements and
criteria. Then work with your team to create and execute a strategy to grow revenue and drive money to the bottom line. 
 YOUR
SIGN-ON BONUS 
 You will receive a one-time sign-on bonus of $100,000 on the first pay period
after your employment begins. I am confident you’ll be a leader at Dave & Buster’s for years to come, but if you leave Dave & Buster’s within one year of your start date, you’ll be required to pay back a
prorated portion of the sign-on bonus. Details are in the attached sign-on bonus agreement. 
 YOUR BENEFITS 

You will be eligible to participate in medical, dental, and vision insurance the first of the month following 30 days of employment. As an example, if you were to start
on October 8, you would be eligible to enroll December 1. You will also be eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan and the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (supplemental 401(k) Plan). Details of these plans, including enrollment
options and eligibility requirements, are outlined in the enclosed “For Your Benefit” brochure. 







 YOUR “PERQS” (you know...the rest of the fun stuff!)

 The best part of working for Dave & Buster’s? Free Dave & Buster’s food and games! You will be given a Gold Card that
allows you to try out our menu items and help us make sure we’re providing world class food and service. Your food allowance will be $500, and your beverage allowance will be $250 per general ledger period. You will also be given a
Powercard loaded with 250 credits per period, which you can use to stay up-to-date on the latest games in our Midway or just blow off some steam playing House of Dead! 

In addition, your perquisites will include an annual car allowance of $10,000 and an annual country club or health club allowance of $3,120, payable over
26 pay periods. You are also eligible to receive reimbursement for financial planning assistance up to $5,000 per year. Additionally, you are eligible to earn and use 15 days of Paid Time Off (“PTO”) during your year of hire and 20 days of
PTO every year thereafter. Please keep in mind that all benefits and perqs are reviewed annually and may be adjusted. 
 YOUR
RELOCATION 
 Should you require assistance relocating to Dallas, Dave & Buster’s will assist you. Your move would be facilitated
through Altair, a third-party firm that specializes in relocations. A member of our HR team would be happy to discuss the details of a house hunting trip and the packing and shipment of your household goods.
