St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0683 and all of its divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of its and their agents, officers, employees, and directors, (hereinafter collectively “Fuller”): 
 WHEREAS, Fuller and I have agreed that my employment with Fuller will terminate effective June 17, 2008; and 
 WHEREAS, I have agreed, in lieu of severance, to accept the benefits, obligations and payments provided herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, agreements and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby expressly acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree and promise as follows: 
 1.
Recitals. The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated as if fully set forth herein. 
 2. Employment and
Termination. I agree that My employment with Fuller will end June 17, 2008, and that my last day in my current position at Fuller will be April 28, 2008. I understand and acknowledge that My employment with Fuller may be terminated
earlier than June 17, 2008, but only for gross violation of working rules or gross misconduct. I further understand and agree that this Agreement will become automatically null, void and unenforceable in the event I am so terminated. I hereby
resign as an officer and director, as applicable, of Fuller and all Fuller-controlled entities, including subsidiaries and joint ventures. 
 3. Separation Payment. Within twenty-one (21) days after my execution of this Agreement, I agree to provide Fuller with an executed Release Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release
Agreement”). In return, and in consideration of the promises, agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement, Fuller agrees to pay Me the sum of $86,770.00 (the “Separation Payment”). Unless there is a timely rescission of this
Agreement and the Release Agreement as provided in the Release Agreement, the Separation Payment shall be paid in one lump sum (less state and federal taxes and other standard legal deductions) within ten (10) days following termination of My
employment on June 17, 2008, subject to Fuller’s receipt of the signed Release Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, it is understood and agreed that I am waiving and forfeiting any right, claim or interest to any severance
payment under any applicable Fuller plan, including, specifically, the H.B. Fuller Company Severance Pay Plan. 
 4. Benefits.
Except as otherwise stated herein, Fuller agrees that, until termination of My employment, I will continue to be eligible for participation as a full time employee under Fuller’s benefit programs, including all key manager benefits. I
understand and agree that My rights to benefits under any Fuller benefit plan, including but not limited to Fuller’s Retirement 

 
Plan and Fuller’s Defined Contribution Restoration Plan, are governed and determined by the rules of said plans, as they may exist from time to time. It
is further understood and agreed that, except as expressly stated herein, I am not waiving any rights to vested employee benefits extended under any Fuller plan. 
 5. T&E Reporting. I agree to provide Fuller with all documentation necessary to reconcile My outstanding Travel and Expense Reporting, and will authorize Fuller to deduct from my Separation Pay any
amounts for any non-reimbursable expenses or expenses that do not comply with Fuller’s policies regarding Travel and Expense Reporting. 
 6. Outplacement Services. Fuller agrees to pay up to $12,500.00 for outplacement services utilized by Me during the period commencing with the date of this Agreement and ending on December 31, 2008. Fuller shall at its
election either reimburse Me for such amounts upon proper documentation, or pay the outplacement services provider directly on a receipt or invoice basis from the outplacement services provider. Payments will be made as documentation is provided.
All documentation must be provided by Me to Fuller by no later than January 15, 2009 and Fuller will make final payment to Me or the provider by no later than February 15, 2009. 
 7. Grants and Awards. Except as otherwise stated herein, I understand and agree that My rights to any long term incentives pursuant to any
Fuller grant or award, including, but not limited to, Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Options, shall be governed and determined by the terms of such grant or award, including the terms and conditions of the plan or plans pursuant to which the
grant or award was made 
 8. Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan. My participation in the Key Employee Deferred
Compensation Plan (“KEDC”) will end as of the date of my termination. Distributions under the KEDC will be made pursuant to the terms of that plan, however, certain distributions may be subject to the six (6) month waiting period
mandated under Section 409(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 9. Confidential Information. I agree that, from and after
the date this Agreement is executed by both parties, all the information, facts, or occurrences relating to business methods, plans and strategies, formulas, designs, specifications, processes, product know how and ideas, customer lists, customer
purchasing histories, pricing and other contract terms, financial and accounting information including budgets, forecasts, projections, costs, prices, margins, profits and sales, purchasing and supplier and potential supplier information, computer
user identifiers and passwords, and all other information, not generally known and proprietary to Fuller, relating to research, development, manufacturing, marketing or sale of Fuller’s products shall be and are hereby deemed to be confidential
information of the Company (“Confidential Information”). I agree, from and after the date this Agreement is executed by both parties, not to use or disclose any Confidential Information at any time during or after My employment by Fuller,
except by written consent of Fuller or as may be required by law or court process. Upon termination of My employment, I agree that all Confidential Information, including all copies, excerpts and summaries in My possession or control, any other
information related to Fuller’s business or My Fuller work and all other Fuller property shall be immediately returned to Fuller. 

 
Information shall be considered Confidential Information regardless of the means, media or format in which it is maintained or communicated. This includes
all documents, computers and electronic storage devices such as flash drives, pdas, cds, dvds, floppy discs, keys, credit cards and software that belong to Fuller. Confidential Information shall not include information the entirety of which is now
or subsequently becomes generally and publicly known, other than as a direct or indirect result of the breach of this Agreement by Me or a breach of a confidentiality obligation owed to Fuller by any third party. 
 10. Non-Competition. For a period of one (1) year following the date of termination of My employment, I will not serve, directly or
indirectly (individually or as an officer, director, employee, consultant, partner or co-venturer, or as a stockholder or other proprietor owning a beneficial interest of more than five percent (5%)) in any enterprise which develops, produces
or sells a Conflicting Product without the written consent of Fuller. This means, by way of illustration but not limitation, that I will not sell or solicit orders for any “Conflicting Product” to or from any customer of Fuller, and that I
will not serve any organization or person engaged in the development, production or sale of a “Conflicting Product.” For the purposes of this illustration, “Conflicting Product” means any product, process, equipment, concept or
service (in existence or under development) of any person or organization that competes with a product, process, equipment, concept or service of Fuller or concerning which I acquired Confidential Information at any time through My work with Fuller.

 In the event I am presented with an opportunity that I believe might violate this covenant, I can submit in writing to Fuller, in care of the Vice
President of Human Resources, a description of the opportunity, asking for Fuller’s written consent to pursue that opportunity. Fuller agrees to promptly reply in writing to any such written request within five (5) business days.

 I understand that this covenant is not intended to limit My subsequent employment in any industry or for any employer producing a product or service
different from Fuller’s. I acknowledge and represent that I have substantial experience and knowledge such that I can readily obtain employment that does not violate this covenant. 
 11. Non-Solicitation. For a period of one (1) year following the date of termination of My employment, I agree that I will not hire or
induce, attempt to induce, or in any way assist or act in concert with any other person or organization in hiring, inducing or attempting to induce any employee, agent or consultant of Fuller to terminate such employee’s, agent’s or
consultant’s relationship with Fuller. 
 12. Information, Assistance, Testimony. I understand that Fuller may
occasionally ask me to provide information, assistance or testimony regarding litigation or legal matters, and I agree to cooperate, provided that Fuller reimburses me for any out-of-pocket expenses. In the event I am required to provide assistance
totaling in excess of two (2) business days, Fuller will provide me with a reasonable per diem payment to compensate me for my time. This provision is not intended, of course, to affect the content of any testimony I shall give in any matter.

 13. Non-Disparagement. Fuller and I agree that neither of us will voluntarily make
statements, publicly or otherwise, which disparage, defame or are adverse to either of our interests. 
 14. Remedies. The
parties hereto acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for their mutual protection and that any violation of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm for which the non-breaching party would be entitled to
temporary or permanent injunctive relief, and for money damages insofar as they can be determined. 
 15. Jurisdiction and
Venue. If any dispute arises under this Agreement, I agree that this Agreement will be interpreted and construed under the laws of Minnesota. I also agree that all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought, if at
all, in a court located in Minnesota to the exclusion of the courts of any other state or jurisdiction. I agree that any court located in Minnesota has jurisdiction over me in connection with any such disputes, regardless whether Fuller or I bring
the claim or action. 
 16. Integration and Modification. Except as provided herein, this Agreement represents the entire
agreement between Me or anyone who has or obtains any legal rights or claims through Me and Fuller with respect to the subject matter covered herein. It replaces any other oral or written agreements, representations, promises or discussions between
Me and Fuller. This Agreement may not be changed orally. To be valid, any waiver or modification must be in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto. If any part of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, invalid or unlawful, in whole or in part, then said part shall be modified or suspended, as the case may require, but only to the extent necessary and all other parts will remain valid and in full force and effect. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts which, taken together, shall constitute but one Agreement. A copy of this Agreement is as valid as the original. 
 17. Execution in Counterpart. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts. Each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and, taken together, shall constitute
but one in the same instrument. 
 18. Facsimile Signatures. The signatures to this Agreement may be evidenced by facsimile
copies reflecting the party’s signature hereto, and such facsimile copy shall be sufficient to evidence the signature of such party just as if it were an original signature. 
 THIS IS A FINAL AGREEMENT AND RELEASE. READ BEFORE SIGNING.

 R. Blair Reynolds

 RECITALS

	B.	Executive and Employer mutually desire to terminate the Employment Agreement on April 30, 2008, to provide for Executive’s continued services for two years on a part-time
basis and to provide Executive certain benefits he would have been entitled to receive upon termination without Cause. 

  

	C.	Effective April 1, 2008 and until expiration of the Term, Executive shall hold the sole title of Associate Counsel and assist the new EVP/General Counsel with the transition of
key job responsibilities. 

 AGREEMENT 
 SECTION 1. Section 3 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to change the term of employment to a term ending April 30, 2008, without
automatic renewals, so that Section 3 reads, in its entirety, as follows: 
 “3. Term of Employment. The term of this
Agreement (“Term”) expires on April 30, 2008, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof. At the end of the Term, this Agreement shall terminate (except as indicated below) and, to the extent Executive thereafter
remains employed by Employer, (i) Executive shall be deemed an at-will employee of Employer, (ii) Executive shall cease to have any right to continued employment under this Agreement, and (iii) Executive’s at-will employment
shall be governed by Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 of this Agreement.” 
 SECTION 2. Section 4 of the Employment Agreement is
hereby amended to renumber the existing Section 4 as Section 4.1 and to add the following as Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4: 
 “4.2 Relationship Following Expiration of Term. 
 (a) From May 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009 (the
“At-Will Period”), Executive will be an on-call parttime employee of Employer and agrees that he shall provide 16 hours per month (“Retainer Hours”) of advisory services including, without limitation, assistance with litigation
matters, as requested by Employer. The difference between the 

  

 1 

 
Retainer Hours and actual hours of service, if positive for a calendar month, will be a “Retainer Hours Surplus” and, if negative for a calendar
month, will be a “Retainer Hours Deficit.” During the At-Will Period, Executive shall receive $100 per hour for each hour of a Retainer Hours Deficit, paid in accordance with normal Employer payroll procedures and subject to withholding of
applicable payroll taxes, and each hour of a Retainer Hours Surplus shall be carried forward to the next calendar month and added to the Retainer Hours. 
 (b) From April 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010 (the “Independent Contractor Period”), Executive shall provide Employer with consulting services and shall be compensated monthly at a rate of $175 per
hour for all hours worked during the month upon receipt by Employer of an invoice from Executive detailing the hours worked and services provided. During the Independent Contractor Period, Executive’s relationship with Employer shall be that of
an independent contractor. 
 (c) Employer shall provide Executive with a minimum of five days advance notice of any required
travel in connection with the services. Executive shall be reimbursed for all travel expenses and Executive shall be compensated for actual travel time, up to a maximum of 8 hours for each round-trip, related to requested travel. Prior to the
Independent Contractor Period, such travel time will be counted against the Retainer Hours. During the Independent Contractor Period, Executive shall denote travel time on each invoice and Employer will compensate Executive in accordance with
Section 4.2(b) for such travel time. 
 (d) Although Employer does not expect to require additional hours of services
beyond the Retainer Hours, Executive acknowledges that during any given month Executive may be requested to provide additional service in excess of the Retainer Hours. 
 4.3 Compensation, Benefits. In consideration of the execution of a Release of Claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and Executive’s commitment to provide further services pursuant
to Section 4.2, Employer desires to provide Executive with the benefits he would be entitled to receive upon termination of his employment without Cause, and Executive shall receive the following in addition to the hourly compensation set forth
in Section 4.2: 
 (a) Salary Continuation. From May 1, 2008 until the earlier of Executive’s
termination of all services or March 31, 2009, Employer shall pay Executive the total amount of $171,990.00, payable semi-monthly in equal installments of $7,817.73 each on the same dates as Employer’s payroll, and subject to withholding
of applicable payroll taxes. In the event of the termination of Executive’s services prior to March 31, 2009, the balance then remaining shall be paid upon such termination. 
 (b) Bonus. Upon expiration of the Term, Executive’s participation in all incentive and bonus programs shall terminate and
Employer shall pay a pro-rated bonus of $14,590 to Executive. 
 4.4 Release Agreement. Receipt of the amounts and benefits set forth
in Section 4.2 and 4.3(b) is conditioned on Executive having executed a Release of Claims Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and the revocation period having 

  

 2 

 
expired without Executive having revoked the Release of Claims Agreement. Receipt and continued receipt of the benefits set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3(b)
is further conditioned on Executive not being in violation of any material term of this Agreement or in violation of any material term of the Release of Claims Agreement.” 
 SECTION 3. Section 13 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to add the following language at the end of subdivision (a) thereof:

 “and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 13 shall prohibit Executive from serving on the board of directors of a
financial institution having its headquarters in the state of California”. 
 SECTION 4. Subdivision (c) of Section 14 of
the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read, in its entirety, as follows: 
 “(c) Adequate Consideration;
Survival. Executive specifically acknowledges the receipt of adequate consideration for the covenants contained in Sections 12 and 13 and that Employer is entitled to require him to comply with those Sections. Sections 3, 4.2, 4.3,
4.4, 11, 12, 13 and this Section 14 will survive termination of this Agreement. Executive represents that if his employment is terminated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Executive has experience and capabilities sufficient to
enable Executive to obtain employment in areas which do not violate this Agreement and that Employer’s enforcement of a remedy by way of injunction will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood.” 
 SECTION 5. Except as amended and modified by this Amendment No. 4, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as written.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment No. 4 this 14th day of March, 2008, effective as of the date
first written above.
