Re:   Waiver of 2009 Base Salary Increase

Dear John:

Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated effective as
of April 1, 2007, as the same may be amended from time to time, between Dolan Media Company (the
“Company”) and James P. Dolan (the “Employment Agreement”). Capitalized terms used, but not
otherwise defined, in this letter agreement, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in my
Employment Agreement.

Section 2.1 of my Employment Agreement provides, in relevant part:

For the calendar year beginning January 1, 2008, and for each subsequent calendar
year during the Employment Period, the Company will pay Executive a Base Salary
equal to the Base Salary for the previous calendar year increased by the positive
percentage change, if any, in the CPI. . . from the month of December from two
(2) years prior to the month of December from the previous year.

By this letter, I hereby waive my right to the increase in my Base Salary described in Section 2.1
of my Employment Agreement for calendar year 2009. I further acknowledge and agree that my Base
Salary for the calendar year 2009 will be $479,000 until such time as the Compensation Committee
determines, if at all, to award an increase to my Base Salary. Further, if the Compensation
Committee determines to award an increase to my Base Salary at any time in 2009, I hereby authorize
the Compensation Committee to award, in its discretion, an increase in an amount less than the
increase required under Section 2.1 of my Employment Agreement.

 

 

 

The waiver provided here is for the increase due to me under my Employment Agreement for the
calendar year 2009 only and does not constitute a waiver of (a) an increase to my Base Salary for
calendar year 2010 or any subsequent years that my Employment Agreement is in effect or (b) any
other compensation for which I am eligible under my Employment Agreement,
short-term cash incentive plans, or any other Company plans, including the 2007 Incentive Compensation
Plan. I further confirm that my waiver of an increase to my Base Salary for the calendar year 2009
does not constitute a “Good Reason” as defined in my Employment Agreement.

This waiver shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without reference to its
conflicts of law principles. This waiver may be executed by facsimile or email transmission and in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and which, together, shall
constitute on instrument.

Exhibit 10.1

FORFEITURE AND TERMINATION AGREEMENT

THIS
FORFEITURE AND TERMINATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of
the 2nd day of February,
2009, by and between 
 _____ 
(“Executive”), and Pike Electric Corporation, a Delaware

Statement of Purpose

Executive has previously been granted the opportunity to receive a Cash Incentive Award (the
“Award”) from Company pursuant to that certain Cash Incentive Award Agreement for Fiscal 2009
between Company and Executive dated September 29, 2008 (the “Award Agreement”). As a means of
more equitably apportioning among the Company’s employees the effects of the current dislocation in the
national and global economies, the parties have determined to terminate the Award Agreement and
Executive has decided to forfeit completely any Award for which he might have been eligible under
the Award Agreement effective as of the date hereof in accordance with the terms of this Forfeiture
and Termination Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing statement of purpose and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Executive on
behalf of himself and his heirs, successors and assigns forfeits the Award in its entirety, and the
Company and Executive agree that the Award Agreement is terminated, both effective as of the
date hereof; provided, that the “Dispute Resolution” provisions of Section 10 of the Award
Agreement shall remain in effect. Executive affirms that this forfeiture is knowing, voluntary and
unconditional.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Forfeiture and Termination Agreement on the date
first written above.
