PLATO LEARNING, INC.

EMPLOYEE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This Employee Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of June 6, 2008,
and is entered into between PLATO Learning, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [Name
of Employee] (the “Employee”).

The grant made pursuant to this Agreement replaces and supersedes the remaining one-half cash
payment due to be paid on June 6, 2008 under the Employee’s Special Bonus Letter (the “Letter”)
dated October  , 2007, and approved in a Written Consent by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors on September 22, 2007.

The Employee has agreed by previously signing a Consent Agreement (the “Consent”) to forego
the one-half remaining cash payment under the Letter to restricted stock units. In consideration
of the mutual promises set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Conversation of Cash to Restricted Stock Units Subject to Acceptance of Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”), and effective as of the date of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Employee
restricted stock units covering      shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”), as
consideration for the cancelation of the one-half remaining cash payment of $     due under the
Letter. The restricted stock units shall not be awarded unless the Employee shall accept this
Agreement by executing it in the space provided below and returning it to the Company.

2. Vesting and Lapse of Forfeiture Restrictions. The Restricted Stock Units will
become vested on June 9, 2008 (the “Vesting Date”), and the forfeiture restrictions will lapse and
the Employee will have the right to receive 100% of the Shares, without risk of forfeiture on the
Vesting Date, and the shares may then be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or
otherwise transferred, encumbered or disposed of on or after the Vesting Date.

3. Stock. Shares in book entry evidencing the Shares covered by the restricted stock
units shall be issued without legend as of the Vesting Date and registered in the Employee’s name.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the issuance or delivery of any Shares
(whether subject to restrictions or unrestricted) may be postponed for such period as may be
required to comply with applicable requirements of any national securities exchange or any
requirements under any law or regulation applicable to the issuance or delivery of such Shares.
The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any Shares if the issuance or delivery
thereof shall constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any regulation of any
governmental authority or any national securities exchange.

4. Tax Withholding Obligations. As a condition precedent to the Award, the Employee
shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount of cash as the Company may be
required, under all applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, to withhold and pay
over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award.
The Employee may elect to satisfy such tax withholding obligation by having the Company withhold
Shares having a fair market value equal to the Company’s minimum withholding obligation. If the
Employee shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company
may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable
by the Company to the Employee, either in cash or in Shares. The Company shall not deliver any of
the Shares until and unless the Employee has made the proper provision for the required tax
withholding obligations.

5. Tax Consequences. The Employee has reviewed with the Employee’s own tax advisors
the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Employee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any
statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Employee understands that
the Employee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Employee’s own tax liability that
may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts each of which
shall be deemed an original and both of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

7. Agreement Subject to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the
Plan, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith, except where specifically provided
otherwise in this Agreement. The Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

Consultant Agreement

This agreement (“Agreement”) is effective this 12th day of May, 2008 by and between
Thomas G. Smith (“Consultant”) whose address is 8775 Fox Hollow Lane, Kirtland Hills, Ohio 44060,
and Forest City Enterprises, Inc. (“FCE”), whose address is 50 Public Square, Suite 1360,
Cleveland, Ohio 44113.

NOW THEREFORE, In consideration of the mutual covenants and premises herein contained and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

	1.	 	Specifications of Work and Payment for Services

	 	a.	 	Consultant agrees to provide the services set forth in Addendum A, attached hereto (the
“Services”).

	 	b.	 	FCE agrees to pay Consultant, against invoices presented to, and approved by FCE, for
the Services at the compensation rates, as well as approved expenses, as set forth in
Addendum A.

	2.	 	Consultant Status

	 	a.	 	Consultant shall at all times be independent contractors and shall have sole
responsibility for and control over all means, methods, techniques, sequences and
procedures for the provision of the Services.

	 	b.	 	Consultant agrees that he shall comply with all applicable tax laws and, will withhold
all applicable federal employment taxes and assessments and pay said taxes and assessments
as required by the Internal Revenue code. The Company shall not be responsible for the
payment or withholding of any taxes for the services performed or income generated by
Consultant.

	 	c.	 	This Agreement shall not constitute nor should it be construed as constituting a joint
venture or principal/agency relationship between Consultant and FCE. Consultant agrees
that no representations shall be made that he or she is an agent or employee of FCE.

	3.	 	Indemnity

Consultant shall indemnify and hold FCE, its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers,
employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns harmless from and against any and all third
party claim or liability (including reasonable defense costs and attorneys’ fees) to the extent
arising from or in connection with the acts or omissions of Consultant in the course of performing
the services or from the infringement by Consultant of any United States patent, trademark,
copyright or proprietary rights.

4. Confidential Information

	 	a.	 	“Confidential Information” is any document or other media or tangible items that
relates to research, development, trade secrets, clients, business affairs or that
contains any other information of a party that was not generally available to the public
when received by the other party. “Confidential Information” shall not include
information that is developed by a party independently of and without reference to any of
the other party’s Confidential Information.

	 	b.	 	Each party hereto shall not disclose to any non-party to the Agreement, any
Confidential Information. The parties agree to protect any Confidential Information
received from the other party using the same degree of care used to protect its own
confidential or proprietary information of like importance, but in any case using no less
than a reasonable degree of care.

	 	c.	 	In the event that Consultant is required by law, regulation or court order to
disclose any of FCE’s Confidential Information, Consultant shall promptly notify FCE in
writing prior to making any such disclosure so that a protective order or other
appropriate remedy may be sought. Consultant shall cooperate with FCE in seeking such
order or other remedy. If FCE is not successful in precluding the requesting legal body
from requiring the disclosure of the Confidential Information, Consultant shall furnish
only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and will
exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment
will be accorded with the Confidential Information.

	 	d.	 	All of FCE’s Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement (including
information in computer software or held in electronic storage media) shall be and remain
the property of FCE. All such information in tangible form shall be returned to FCE
promptly upon written request or the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and
shall not thereafter be retained in any form by Consultant, its affiliates, or any
employees or independent contractors of Consultant or its affiliates.

	 	e.	 	The parties acknowledge that Confidential Information is unique and valuable, and that
disclosure in breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable injury for which monetary
damages alone would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, the parties agree that in the
event of a breach or threatened breach of confidentiality, FCE shall be entitled to
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such
breach or anticipated breach without the necessity of posting a bond. Any such relief
shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any appropriate relief in the way of monetary
damages.

5. Mutual Non-Solicitation

	 	a.	 	Except with FCE’s express written consent, Consultant shall not solicit, hire, or
employ any of FCE’s employees, nor shall Consultant cause, aid, or provide information to
any other person to solicit, hire or employ any of FCE’s employees. For purposes of this
provision, a party’s “employee” shall mean any individual that is on such party’s payroll
during the term of this Agreement and for the ninety (90) day period following removal from
such payroll for any reason.

	 	b.	 	The parties hereto agree that, during the term hereof and for a period of one (1) year
following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, neither party will, except with
the other party’s prior written consent, solicit or offer employment to an employee of the
other party who was directly and substantively involved in the services performed under
this Agreement. This provision shall not restrict the right of either party to solicit or
recruit generally in the media, and shall not prohibit either party from hiring an employee
of the other who answers any advertisement or who otherwise voluntarily applies for hire
without having been initially personally solicited or recruited by the hiring party.

	6.	 	Insurance

 

	 	 	  Consultant agrees to maintain the following insurance coverage:

	 	a.	 	Comprehensive General Liability and Property Damage Insurance (including completed
operations and contractual liability) on an occurrence basis in an amount not less than
$2,000,000 combined single limit: and

	 	b.	 	Commercial Liability Insurance with minimum limits no less than $1,000,000 combined
single limit; and

	 	c.	 	Worker’s Compensation (at statutory limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance with
minimum limits of $500,000.

FCE and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates shall be named as additional insured on the
policies and provide evidence of the same within ten (10) days of the execution of this Agreement.

	7.	 	Termination

This Agreement may be terminated by either party with or without cause by providing fourteen (14)
days written notice to the other party. Consultant’s obligations and representations under
paragraphs (3) (4) and (5) above shall survive the termination or other expiration of this
Agreement. In the event of notice of such termination, Consultant shall be paid pursuant to
services rendered up to the date of such termination and not thereafter. In the event of early
termination by Consultant, and a fourteen (14) day written notice is not given, FCE shall have the
option to withhold all final payments, including expenses (if any), until satisfactory release has
been received from the Consultant.

	8.	 	Sole Agreement

This Agreement is the sole agreement for services between FCE and Consultant and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings with respect to the services referred to herein.

	9.	 	Controlling Law

The parties agree that this Agreement is made and accepted in the State of Ohio and the laws of
that state shall control the construction, interpretation, validity, and enforcement of this
Agreement as if all relevant aspects of the performance of this Agreement existed only in that
state. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of that state with respect to
any rights of action arising under this Agreement.

	10.	 	Miscellaneous Provisions

	 	a.	 	Omission of Enforcement Not Waiver. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder.

	 	b.	 	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the
remainder shall be enforced as fully as possible and the unenforceable provision shall be
deemed modified to the limited extent required to permit its enforcement in a manner most
closely representing the intention of the Parties as expressed herein.

	 	c.	 	Confidentiality of Agreement. Except upon mutual written agreement, or as may be
required by law, neither party shall in any way or in any form disclose the contents of
this Agreement.
