​

​
Number of Restricted Shares Granted: 
​
This Restricted Stock Award Agreement, dated October 26, 2021 (this "Award Agreement"), is made by and between AMCON Distributing Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and __________________ ("Participant").
​
RECITALS:
​
A.Effective December 19, 2014, the Company's stockholders approved the AMCON Distributing Company 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, grant Shares of Restricted Stock to eligible Service Providers of the Company.
​
B.Participant is a Service Provider of the Company or one of its Affiliates and the Company desires to encourage him to own Shares and to give him added incentive to advance the interests of the Company, and desires to grant Participant shares of Restricted Stock of the Company under the terms and conditions established by the Committee.
​
AGREEMENT:
​
In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
​
1.Incorporation of Plan.  All provisions of this Award Agreement and the rights of Participant hereunder are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan and the powers of the Committee therein provided.  Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement but not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. 
​
2.Grant of Restricted Stock.  Subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Award Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to Participant that number of Shares of Restricted Stock identified above opposite the heading "Number of Restricted Shares Granted" (the "Restricted Shares").
3.Restrictions on Transfer; Vesting Date.  Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Award Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted Shares or the rights relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, prior to the vesting date for such Restricted Shares 

 ​

​

identified below (the "Vesting Date").  On the Vesting Date, such restriction on transfer shall lapse and the Restricted Shares, if not previously forfeited pursuant to Section 4 below, will become freely transferable under this Award Agreement and the Plan, subject only to such further limitations on transfer, if any, as may exist under applicable law or any other agreement binding upon Participant.  Subject to any exceptions listed in this Award Agreement or in the Plan, the Restricted Shares shall become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth below: 
	Vesting Date
	Percentage of Shares Vested

	October 26, 2022
	331⁄3%

	October 26, 2023
	331⁄3%

	October 26, 2024
	331⁄3%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the Vesting Date for any or all of the Restricted Shares, if in its judgment the performance of Participant has warranted such acceleration and/or such acceleration is in the best interests of the Company, and (ii) if Participant's position as a Service Provider with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or such Affiliate without Cause or by reason of the Participant's death or Disability, the Vesting Date for all of the Restricted Shares automatically will be accelerated to the date of Participant's termination as a Service Provider.  If the Participant voluntarily terminates their position as a Service Provider with the Company, the portion of Restricted Shares that are unvested shall be forfeited and full ownership of such Restricted Shares and rights will revert to the Company.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” means any act or failure to act by the Participant that constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence.
4.Forfeiture Prior to Vesting.  Unless otherwise provided below, if Participant's position as a Service Provider with the Company or any of its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or any such Affiliate for Cause prior to the Vesting Date for one or more of the Restricted Shares, Participant will thereupon immediately forfeit any and all unvested Restricted Shares, and the full ownership of such Restricted Shares and rights will revert to the Company.  Upon such forfeiture, Participant shall have no further rights under this Award Agreement.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, transfer of employment between the Company and any of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) does not constitute a termination of Participant's position as a Service Provider.  If the Participant voluntarily terminates their position as a Service Provider with the Company, the portion of Restricted Shares that are unvested shall be forfeited and full ownership of such Restricted Shares and rights will revert to the Company.
5.Certificates.  The Restricted Shares are issued to Participant in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act (which may include, without limitation, Regulation D promulgated thereunder).  The Restricted Shares shall be issued in the name of Participant or a nominee of Participant as of the Date of Grant.  One or more certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following, and stop transfer instructions may be given to the transfer agent for the Company's Stock that are consistent with such legend:
