The Award is subject to the conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan, each as amended from time to time.  For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Grant Notice, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any Subsidiary.

After the Grant Date, subject to termination or acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Award shall become vested as described in the Grant Notice with respect to that number of shares of Restricted Stock as set forth in the Grant Notice.  Shares of Restricted Stock that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Vested Shares.”  Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder that are not vested and remain subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Unvested Shares.”  Notwithstanding anything contained in these Standard Terms and Conditions to the contrary, upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment, any then Unvested Shares held by the Participant shall be forfeited and canceled as of the date of such Termination of Employment.
		

			
	
			
				 3.
			RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER

		
			From and after the Grant Date, the Participant shall have all of the ownership, voting rights, dividend rights and all other rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock, except that (i) such rights as to Unvested Shares shall terminate upon the forfeiture of such Unvested Shares as and to the extent specifically provided in Section 2 above and (ii) there will be no dividend rights on Unvested Shares.

				 7.
			OTHER AGREEMENTS SUPERSEDED

				 1.
			TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

		
			Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, Inc. (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant named in the Grant Notice provided to said Participant herewith (the “Grant Notice”) an award of a number of restricted stock units (the “Award” or the “Restricted Stock Units”) with each Restricted Stock Unit representing the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) specified in the Grant Notice. The Award is subject to the conditions set forth in the Grant Notice, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan, each as amended from time to time.
