Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, is made
as of this 28th day of June, 2007 by and between BUCA, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”) and Wallace B. Doolin (the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive previously entered into an Employment Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2004, whereby Company has employed
Executive to devote full time service to the business of the Company and Executive has been so employed; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the
Executive desire to amend the terms of such employment. 
 NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company
shall continue to employ Executive and Executive agrees to be so employed in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer for a term ending on December 31, 2009, or earlier upon termination in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement. The
term of Executive’s employment hereunder will automatically renew for additional one (1) year extension or renewal term(s) unless Executive or the Company provides 90 days prior written notice to the other that he/it does not intend to
renew or extend his employment past its then-current expiration date. 
 2. Duties. Executive shall diligently and conscientiously
devote his full time and attention to the discharge of his duties as Chief Executive Officer and such other positions as assigned by the Board of Directors. In such capacity, Executive shall at all times discharge said duties in consultation with
and under the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company. Executive shall perform such other duties as may from time to time be given to him by the Board of Directors. In addition, so long as Executive shall be employed as Chief Executive
Officer, the Company represents to Executive that he will be offered the position of Chairman in connection with this Agreement and the Company shall take all reasonable action within its control to cause Executive to be appointed or elected as the
Chairman of the Board of Directors. Executive hereby represents and confirms that neither (i) Executive’s entering into this Agreement nor (ii) Executive’s performance of his duties and obligations hereunder will violate or
conflict with any other agreement (oral or written) to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound. 
 3. Base Salary.
The Company shall pay to Executive an annualized base salary of $568,000 for the remainder of 2007. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (or other authorized committee of the Board of Directors) (the “Committee”)
shall establish Executive’s base salary for 2008 and each subsequent calendar year in an amount not less than the base salary in effect for the prior year, plus an increase in an amount equal to ten (10) percent of the prior year’s
base cash bonus, if any. The base salary is payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices and procedures as in effect from time to time. 

 4. Bonuses. Executive shall be eligible to receive a base cash bonus in an amount up to 50%
percent of base salary for that year. Payment of any base cash bonus shall be based upon the Company attaining certain performance targets selected by the Committee and based upon the budget for the applicable year, as approved by the Board of
Directors. In addition, if actual EBITDA (as defined below) for any fiscal year exceeds the EBITDA annual budget amount for that fiscal year (the “EBITDA Excess”), then Executive shall receive an additional bonus, following the end
of such fiscal year, equal to five percent of the EBITDA Excess. “EBITDA” for any year shall mean the consolidated net income (or net loss) of the Company and its subsidiaries for such year, plus any interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization, and extraordinary expenses or losses deducted in determining the same and minus any interest income or extraordinary income included in determining the same, all computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistent with those applied in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. If the Company shall make a significant acquisition or disposition of assets or business operations
during any year, the EBITDA annual budget amount shall be adjusted in a manner the Board of Directors determines in good faith to be equitable. 
 5. Restricted Stock. As an incentive to Executive, upon execution of this Agreement Executive shall receive a grant of 140,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, to vest on December 31, 2009 as set forth in
the restricted stock agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A; such restricted shares are granted under the BUCA, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Stock Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Incentive Plan”). 
 6. Expenses. So long as Executive is employed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary
out-of-pocket business, travel and entertainment expenses incurred by him in carrying out his duties under this Agreement, subject to the Company’s normal policies and procedures for expense verification and documentation. So long as Executive
is employed by the Company hereunder, in recognition of Executive’s need for an automobile for business purposes, the Company will provide Executive with a gross payment of $1,250 per month as an automobile allowance. 
 7. Benefits. So long as Executive is employed by the Company hereunder, Executive shall be entitled to participate in any benefit plans or
programs provided generally to the Company’s executives, to the extent Executive is eligible to participate under the terms and conditions of the plans or programs. The Company provides no assurance as to the adoption or continuance of any
particular employee benefit plan or program, and Executive’s participation in any such plan or program shall be subject to the provisions, rules and regulations applicable thereto. So long as Executive is employed by the Company hereunder,
Executive shall be entitled to vacation leave in accordance with Company policy for employees, or such additional amounts as otherwise approved by the Board of Directors. Such vacation shall be taken by Executive at times so as not to unduly disrupt
the operations of the Company and shall not be accrued and carried over from year to year. 
 8. Other Benefits. 
 (a) Health/Disability Income Insurance. Executive shall be entitled to medical and hospitalization benefits for himself and his spouse, and other
benefits as herein set 

  

 2 

 
forth, on the same terms as are generally made available to other senior executive employees of the Company. Additionally, a Disability Income policy shall
be purchased in Executive’s name, and the premium paid by the Company in an amount and on terms commensurate with Executive’s compensation and valid underwriting considerations. 
 (b) Qualified Retirement Account. Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan or other appropriate qualified
retirement plan, subject to the terms and conditions of such plan. 
 9. Termination. Executive’s employment hereunder shall
terminate immediately upon: 
 (a) the death of Executive; 
 (b) Executive’s receipt of notice to Executive from the Company that his employment is terminated due to Executive’s inability to perform his usual and customary duties by reason of Physical or Mental
Disability; 
 (c) Executive’s receipt of notice from the Company of the termination of his employment (with or without Cause);

 (d) Executive’s abandonment of his employment or receipt by the Company of notice of his resignation; or 
 (e) by Executive, if, following a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company, Executive’s duties (as in effect immediately prior to such
Change in Control) are Substantially Reduced or Negatively Altered (as defined below), without his prior written consent, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company. 
 For purposes of this Section and Section 10, “Cause” means 
 (i) an act or acts of dishonesty undertaken by Executive and intended to result in material personal gain or enrichment of Executive or
others at the expense of the Company; 
 (ii) gross misconduct that is willful or deliberate on Executive’s part and
that, in either event, is injurious to the Company; 
 (iii) the conviction of Executive of a felony; or 
 (iv) the material breach of any terms and conditions of this Agreement by Executive, which breach has not been cured by Executive within
30 days after written notice thereof to Executive from the Company.

Mental Disability” means the inability of Executive to perform on a full-time basis the duties and responsibilities of his employment with the Company by reason of his illness or other physical or mental impairment 

  

 3 

 
or condition, if such inability continues (i) for an uninterrupted period of 120 days or more during any 360-day period or (ii) for 180 days in any
360-day period. A period of inability shall be “uninterrupted” unless and until Executive returns to full-time work for a continuous period of at least 30 days. 
 For purposes of this Section and Section 10, “Change in Control” with respect to the Company shall have occurred on the earliest of the following dates: 
 (i) the date after the Effective Date that any entity or person (including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) shall have become the beneficial owner of, or shall have obtained voting control over, fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding common shares of the Company (provided
that this clause (i) shall not apply to any acquisition or beneficial ownership by any corporation with respect to which, immediately following such acquisition, more than 70% of both the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Securities”) and the then-outstanding common stock is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the
persons who beneficially owned the Voting Securities and the common stock immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such Voting Securities and the common stock, as the case may be, immediately
prior to such acquisition); 
 (ii) the date after the Effective Date that the shareholders of the Company approve a
definitive agreement: (A) to merge or consolidate the Company with or into another corporation, or to merge another corporation into the Company, in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which any
common shares of the Company would be converted into cash, securities of another corporation, or other property (this clause (A) shall not apply to a merger or consolidation of the Company in which, immediately following such merger or
consolidation, more than 70% of both the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities and the then outstanding common stock is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the
persons who beneficially owned the Voting Securities and the common stock immediately prior to such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of such Voting Securities and common stock, as the case may be,
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation); or (B) to sell or otherwise dispose of substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 
 (iii) Continuing Directors shall not constitute a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company. For purposes of this clause (iii), “Continuing Directors” shall mean:
(A) individuals who, on the date hereof, are directors of the Company, (B) individuals elected as directors of the Company subsequent to the date hereof for whose election proxies shall have been solicited by the Board of Directors of the
Company or (C) any individual elected or 

  

 4 

 
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Company caused by death or resignation (but not by
removal) or to fill newly-created directorships, provided that a “Continuing Director” shall not include an individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the
threatened election or removal of directors (or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents) by or on behalf of any person other than the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 Notwithstanding anything stated above, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur with respect to Executive if (x) the acquisition or
beneficial ownership of the 50% or greater interest referred to in clause (i) of the definition is by Executive or by a group, acting in concert, that includes Executive or (y) a majority of the then combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities (or voting equity interests) of the surviving corporation or of any corporation (or other entity) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of the Company shall, immediately after a merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets referred to in clause (ii) above, be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Executive or by a group, acting in concert, that includes Executive. 
 For purposes of this Section and Section 10, “Substantially Reduced or Negatively Altered” means, without Executive’s express
written consent: 
 (i) the assignment to Executive of duties, considered in the aggregate, inconsistent with Executive’s
positions, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company immediately prior to a Change in Control or a change in Executive’s reporting responsibilities, titles or offices, or any removal of Executive from, or any failure to re-elect
Executive to, any of such positions, except in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, upon the Physical or Mental Disability or death of Executive, or upon the voluntary termination by Executive; 
 (ii) a reduction in Executive’s base salary below the minimum base salary in effect at the time of such Change in Control, as
determined in accordance with Section 3 hereof; 
 (iii) requiring Executive to move his residence more than 100 miles
from the Twin Cities metropolitan area; or 
 (iv) failure of any successor to the Company not otherwise bound by this
Agreement to expressly assume and agree to perform the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. 
 10. Effect of Termination.
If Executive is terminated by the Company for Cause or if Executive terminates employment under Section 9(d), Executive shall be paid only to the date of actual termination of employment and Executive shall not be entitled to any additional
compensation for the year in which termination of employment occurs (or any subsequent year) or any other termination payment. 
  

 5 

 If Executive is terminated by reason of death or Physical or Mental Disability, Executive or his estate
shall be entitled to a termination payment equal to the product of (x) the greater of the number of full months remaining on his then-current employment term or 24, except that if the number of full months remaining is less than 12 full months,
then the number of such remaining full months plus 12, multiplied by (y) Executive’s base monthly salary then in effect. Such amount shall be payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the number of months determined
according to (x) above, beginning on the first day of the month following termination of employment. Any such termination payment shall be reduced by all disability insurance payments received by Executive during such period under disability
insurance policies provided by the Company. 
 If Executive terminates employment for the reason specified in Section 9(e) or if
Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause following a Change in Control or if Executive is terminated without Cause by the Company during any term of employment (including any renewal or extension term) under this Agreement, Executive
shall be entitled to a termination payment equal to (i) to the product of (x) the lesser of the number of full months remaining on his then-current employment term or 24, except that if the number of full months remaining is less than 12
full months, then 12, multiplied by (y) Executive’s base monthly salary then in effect, plus (ii) the prior year’s base cash bonus earned, if any. Such amount shall be payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the
number of months determined according to (x) above, beginning on the first day of the month following termination of employment. In addition, in connection with any such termination covered by this paragraph, the Company shall continue
Executive’s health benefits for one (1) year by paying the employer’s portion of the cost of Executive’s COBRA coverage premiums during such one (1) year period.  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, the Company shall not be obligated to make any payments to Executive under this
Section 10 unless Executive shall have signed a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates in a form reasonably prescribed by the Company, all applicable consideration and recession periods provided by law shall have expired,
and Executive is not in material breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement. The Company will execute a release of claims in favor of Executive as additional consideration for Executive’s release of claims in favor of the Company.

 11. Effect of Change in Control. If it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of
Executive hereunder (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive
with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a
“Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and
penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any
claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable after Executive is informed in writing of such claim. 
  

 6 

 12. Tax Withholding. The Company shall deduct from any payments made to the Executive hereunder
any withholding or other taxes which the Company is required to deduct, if any, under applicable law. 
 13. Confidentiality. Except
as permitted by the Company or in the ordinary course of the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, Executive shall not at any time divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone or use in any way other than in the ordinary course of
the business of the Company, any confidential, proprietary or secret knowledge or information of the Company that Executive has acquired or shall acquire about the Company, whether developed by himself or by others, concerning (i) any trade
secrets, (ii) any confidential, proprietary or secret designs, programs, processes, formulae, recipes, plans, devices or material (whether or not patented or patentable) directly or indirectly useful in any aspect of the business of the
Company, (iii) any supplier lists, (iv) any confidential, proprietary or secret development or research work, (v) any strategic or other business, marketing or sales plans, (vi) any financial data or plans, or (vii) any
other confidential or proprietary information or secret aspects of the business of the Company. Executive acknowledges that the above-described knowledge and information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of the Company and represents a
substantial investment of time and expense by the Company, and that any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of the Company would be wrongful and may cause irreparable harm to the Company.
Executive shall take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of such knowledge and information. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any knowledge or information that (i) is now or subsequently becomes
generally publicly known, other than as a result of the breach of this Agreement, or (ii) is required to be disclosed by law or legal process. Executive understands and agrees that his obligations under this Agreement to maintain the
confidentiality of the Company’s confidential information are in addition to any obligations of Executive under applicable statutory or common law. The obligations of Executive under this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. 
 14. Covenant Not to Compete. The parties agree that the
Company would be substantially harmed if Executive competes with the Company during employment with the Company or after termination of employment with the Company. Therefore, in exchange for the benefits provided to Executive hereunder, Executive
agrees that during his employment with the Company (except for services permitted under Section 2 and performed prior to the date hereof) and for a period of two (2) years after termination of such employment for any reason, Executive will
not directly or indirectly, without the written consent of the Company; 
 (a) Own, operate or render services to any entity
engaged, directly or indirectly, in owning or operating Italian restaurants within fifty (50) miles of any restaurant owned or managed by the Company; or 
 (b) Hire, offer to hire, entice away, or in any other way, persuade or attempt to persuade any entity or any employee, officer, agent,
independent contractor, supplier or subcontractor of the Company to discontinue their relationship with the Company. 
  

 7 

 If the duration of, the scope of or any business activity covered by any provision of this
Section 14 is in excess of what is determined to be valid and enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, scope or activity that is determined to be valid and enforceable. Executive hereby
acknowledges that this Section 14 shall be given the construction which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its express terms, possible under applicable law. 
 15. Disparagement. The Company and Executive agree that during and after the term of this Agreement, they will not knowingly vilify, disparage,
slander or defame the other party or, in the case of the Company, its officers, directors, employees, business or business practices. 
 16.
Arbitration. 
 16.1. Executive and The Company agree and stipulate that the services rendered in this transaction involve interstate
commerce as defined in the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ‘ 1 et seq., and that this Arbitration Agreement is covered and governed pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. 
 16.2. Executive and The Company agree that, should a controversy arise, any and all claims shall be resolved in arbitration under the then-current
National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before an arbitrator who is licensed to practice law in the state in which the arbitration is
convened (“the Arbitrator”). The arbitration shall take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 
 16.3. The Arbitrator shall be
selected as follows: AAA shall give each party a list of arbitrators drawn from its panel of employment arbitrators pursuant to Rule 9 of the Rules. Each party may strike two names on the list it deems unacceptable in accordance with the Rules. If
only one common name remains on the lists of all parties, that individual shall be designated as the Arbitrator. In the event no Arbitrator is agreed to then AAA shall select the Arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. 
 16.4. The Arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the state in which the claim arose, or federal law, or
both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation,
applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties. 
 16.5. The Arbitrator shall have jurisdiction to hear and rule on pre-hearing disputes and is authorized to hold pre-hearing conferences by telephone or
in person as the Arbitrator deems necessary. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. 
  

 8 

 16.6. Either party, at its expense, may arrange for and pay the cost of a court reporter to provide a
stenographic record of proceedings. 
 16.7. Either party, upon request at the closing of hearing, shall be given leave to file a
post-hearing brief. The time for filing such a brief shall be set by the Arbitrator. 
 16.8. Either party may bring an action in any court
of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, both parties agree that neither party will initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or administrative
action in any way related to any claim covered by this Agreement. 
 16.9. The Arbitrator shall render an award and opinion in the form
typically rendered in employment arbitrations. 
 16.10. The results of the arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or ordered by
the Arbitrator on motion, are not confidential and may be reported by any news agency or legal publisher or service. 
 16.11. The parties
shall equally share the fees and costs of the Arbitrator. Each party will deposit funds or post other appropriate security for its share of the Arbitrator’s fee, in an amount and manner determined by the Arbitrator, ten (10) days before
the first day of the hearing. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any. 
 16.12. At the conclusion of the
arbitration hearing, the parties hereby select and appoint the Arbitrator as their Mediator to fully and finally dispose of all issues existing between them. Immediately upon conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the Arbitrator shall retire to make
his/her Award, and shall maintain the original of the Award in an envelope with copies in two additional envelopes for the Executive and the Company. Upon sealing the original and copies in three respective envelopes, the Arbitrator/Mediator shall
then immediately convene a mediation process to attempt to resolve any and all issues between the parties. 
 16.13. Notwithstanding the
parties’ agreement to arbitrate all claims between them, in the event that the Company believes it will suffer material and irreparable damage if the Executive violates any provision contained in Sections 13 or 14 of this Agreement, the parties
hereby agree in the event of such breach or an apparent danger of such breach by Executive, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to such other remedies available to it, to seek an immediate injunction to restrain the violation of any or all
such provisions by Executive.

 This is a Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) between BUCA, Inc., a
Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and the recipient identified above (the “Recipient”), effective as of the date of grant specified above. 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company maintains the 2006 Omnibus Stock
Plan of BUCA, Inc. (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”); 
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) has granted the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) the authority to determine the awards to be granted under the Plan; and 
 WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the Recipient is eligible to receive an award under the Plan in the form of shares of restricted stock.

 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby grants this award of restricted shares to the Recipient under the terms and conditions as follows.

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS* 
  

	1.	Grant of Restricted Stock. 

 (a) Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Recipient the number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) specified at the beginning of this Agreement. These Shares are subject to the
restrictions provided for in this Agreement and are referred to collectively as the “Restricted Shares” and each as a “Restricted Share.” 
 (b) The Restricted Shares will be evidenced by the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Recipient and shall bear the restrictive legends specified in Section 6 hereof. The
Company will retain custody of any certificate representing the Restricted Shares and the Recipient shall tender to the Company a stock power duly executed in blank relating to such custody. The Recipient may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise
dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Restricted Shares. All restrictions provided for in this Agreement will apply to each Restricted Share and to any other securities distributed with respect to that Restricted Share
until such Restricted Shares have vested in the Recipient in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any attempt to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Restricted
Shares contrary to the provisions hereof, and any attempt to levy any attachment or pursue any similar process with respect to them, shall be null and void. Each Restricted Share will remain restricted, and subject to forfeiture to the Company
unless and until that Restricted Share has vested in the Recipient in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. 
  

	2.	Vesting. The Restricted Shares that have not previously been forfeited will vest in the numbers and on the dates specified in the Vesting Schedule at the beginning of
this Agreement. In addition, (a) the Restricted Shares that have not previously vested or been forfeited will vest immediately in an amount equal to the Pro-Rated Amount (as defined below) upon the first to occur of the following events:
(i) death of the Recipient; (ii) Disability (as defined below) of the Recipient; and (iii) termination of the Recipient by the Company due solely to an elimination of the Recipient’s job position, and (b) the Restricted
Shares that have not previously vested or been forfeited will vest in their entirety immediately upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” of the Recipient means any
physical or mental incapacitation whereby the Recipient is therefore unable for a period of 12 consecutive months, or for an aggregate 12 months in any 24 consecutive month period, to perform the Recipient’s duties for the Company thereof, and
“Pro-Rated Amount” means that number of shares determined by (a) multiplying the number of Restricted Shares covered by this Agreement (as set forth on the cover page) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
whole months that have elapsed since the Date of Grant to the date of Recipient’s termination under the first to occur of the events provided in this Section 2 and the denominator is 33 and then (b) subtracting the number of
Restricted Shares previously vested or forfeited. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Fundamental Change” in the Company shall be deemed to occur if any of the following occur: 

 (1) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) after the effective date of this
Plan first acquires or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 

	*	Unless the context indicates otherwise, terms that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan as it currently exists or as it is amended in the
future.

 securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s
then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (“Voting Securities”), provided, however, that the following shall not constitute a Change in Control pursuant to this paragraph (a)(1):

  

	 	(A)	any acquisition or beneficial ownership by the Company or a subsidiary; 

  

	 	(B)	any acquisition or beneficial ownership by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries;

 (3) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company or a statutory exchange of outstanding Voting Securities of

directors and the then outstanding shares of common stock, as the case may be, of the corporation that is the issuer of such securities held by the stockholders of the Company after such reorganization, merger, consolidation or exchange in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation or exchange, of the Voting Securities and Shares of the Company, as the case may be; or 
 (4) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of (x) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (y) the sale or

the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation is then beneficially owned, directly
or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Voting Securities and Shares of the Company immediately prior to such sale or other disposition in substantially the same proportions as

	3.	Lapse of Restrictions; Issuance of Unrestricted Shares. Upon the vesting of any Restricted Shares, (i) such vested Restricted Shares will no longer be subject to
forfeiture as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement, (ii) all restrictions on the Restricted Shares will lapse, and (iii) the Company will, subject to the provisions of the Plan, issue to the Recipient a certificate evidencing the
Restricted Shares that is free of any transfer or other restrictions arising under this Agreement. 

  

	4.	Forfeiture. If the Recipient’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, whether by the Company, by the Recipient or otherwise, voluntarily or
involuntarily (other than as provided in Section 2 hereof), then the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited by the Recipient to the Company (the “Forfeiture”); provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds that waiver
would be in the best interest of the Company, waive the Forfeiture with respect to some or all of the Restricted Shares. In the event of a Forfeiture of any of the Restricted Shares, the Recipient shall have no right, title or interest whatever in
such Restricted Shares. 

  

	5.	Shareholder Rights. As of the date of issuance of the Restricted Shares, the Recipient shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the
Restricted Shares (including voting rights and the right to receive dividends and other distributions), except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. 

  

	6.	Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders. 

 (a) The certificate representing the Restricted Shares shall bear the following legend: 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, OR MORTGAGED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE ENCUMBERED, AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON
FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.” 
 (b) The Recipient agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred
to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any. 
 (c) The Company shall
not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Restricted Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of the Restricted Shares or to accord the
right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom the Restricted Shares shall have been so transferred. 
  

	7.	Employment. This Agreement shall not give the Recipient any right to continued employment with the Company or any parent or subsidiary thereof, and the Company or any
parent or subsidiary thereof employing the Recipient may terminate such employment or otherwise treat the Recipient without regard to the effect it may have upon the Recipient or any Restricted Shares under this Agreement. 

 

	8.	 Tax Withholding. The parties hereto recognize that the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company may be obligated to withhold federal and state
income taxes or other taxes upon the 

  

 4 

	 	 
vesting of the Restricted Shares, or, in the event that the Recipient elects under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to report the receipt of
the Restricted Shares as income in the year of receipt, upon the Recipient’s receipt of the Restricted Shares. The Recipient agrees that, at such time, if the Company or a parent or subsidiary is required to withhold such taxes, the Recipient
will promptly pay in cash upon demand to the Company, or the parent or subsidiary having such obligation, such amounts as shall be necessary to satisfy such obligation. 

  

	9.	Limitation on Change in Control Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, with respect to the Recipient, the acceleration of the
vesting of Restricted Shares as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement (which acceleration could be deemed a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”)), together with any other payments which the Recipient has the right to receive from the Company or any corporation which is a member of an “affiliated group” (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard
to Section 1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the “payments” to the Recipient will be reduced to the
largest amount as will result in no portion of such “payments” being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. Without limiting the prior sentence, the Recipient will have the discretion to determine which
“payments” will be reduced so that no portion of such “payments” are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, if the Recipient is subject
to a separate agreement with the Company that expressly addresses the potential application of Section 280G or 4999 of the Code (including, without limitation, that “payments” under such agreement or otherwise will be reduced, that
such “payments” will not be reduced or that such “payments” will be “grossed up” for tax purposes), then this Section 9 will not apply, and any “payments” to the Recipient pursuant to Section 2 of
this Agreement will be treated as “payments” arising under such separate agreement. 

  

	10.	Interpretation of This Agreement. All decisions and interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan shall be
binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Recipient. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. 

  

	11.	Award Subject to Plan, Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. The Recipient acknowledges that the Restricted Shares are subject to the Plan, the Articles of
Incorporation, as amended from time to time, and the By-Laws, as amended from time to time, of the Company, and any applicable federal or state laws, rules or regulations. 

  

	12.	Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding in all respects on the heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of the Recipient. 

  

	13.	Choice of Law. This Agreement is entered into under the laws of the State of Minnesota and shall be construed and interpreted thereunder (without regard to its
conflict of law principles).
