any way related to Employee’s employment or termination of employment with the Company and (2) continued compliance with the requirements of Sections 7, 8, and 9. 

6. Full Settlement, Mitigation. 
 (a) Employee is not obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall
not be reduced whether or not Employee obtains other employment. 
 (b) The provision of this Agreement, any payment provided
for hereunder, and the release referenced in Section 5(c) shall not reduce any amount otherwise payable, or in any way diminish Employee’s existing right or those right that would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time,
under any employee benefit plan or other contract or plan of which Employee is a beneficiary or in which he participates except that nothing in this Section 6(b) or Agreement shall be construed to limit the Company right to amend its
employee benefit plans from time to time, in its sole discretion. 
 7. Confidential Information.

 (a) Employee acknowledges that the Company has trade, business and financial secrets and other confidential and
proprietary information (collectively, the 

  
 4 

 
“Confidential Information”). Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, sales materials, marketing objectives, and strategies, financial information, strategic
information, business plans, recipes, procedures, and information concerning customers or venders. As defined herein, Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally known to other persons or entities who can obtain economic
value from its disclosure or use. 
 (b) Employee acknowledges that the Confidential Information has been developed or acquired
by the Company through the expenditure of substantial time, effort and money and provides the Company with an advantage over competitors who do not know or use such Confidential Information. 

(c) All records, files, documents and materials, or copies thereof, relating to the Company’s and its affiliates’ business
which Employee shall prepare, or use, or be provided with as a result of his employment with the Company, shall be and remain the sole property of the Company or its affiliates, as the case may be, and shall be returned promptly by Employee to the
owner upon termination of Employee’s employment with the Company. 
 8. Non-Disclosure 

(a) During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide Employee with Confidential Information of the Company as described in
Section 7. Accordingly, in consideration for the Company’s commitment to provide Confidential Information to Employee and, in the case of Employee’s termination without Cause in consideration for the payments specified in
Section 5(b), and in order to protect the value of the Confidential Information to the Company, Employee agrees that during his employment with the Company and at all times thereafter, he will not directly or indirectly disclose or use
or disclose for any reason whatsoever any Confidential Information obtained by reason of his employment with the Company or any predecessor, except (i) as required to conduct the business of the Company during Employee’s employment;
(ii) as authorized in writing by the Company; (iii) in connection with an arbitration brought relating to this Agreement; or (iv) as compelled by legal process. Employee agrees to use reasonable efforts to give the Company notice of
any and all attempts to compel disclosure of any Confidential Information, in such a manner so as to provide the Company with written notice at least five (5) days before disclosure or within one (1) business day after Employee is informed
that such disclosure is being or will be compelled, whichever is earlier. Such written notice shall include a description of the information to be disclosed, the court, government agency, or other forum through which the disclosure is sought, and
the date by which the information is to be disclosed, and shall contain a copy of the subpoena, order or other process used to compel disclosure. 
 (b) The obligations of Employee set forth in the preceding sentence are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the any obligations Employee may have under applicable common or statutory law. 

9. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 
 (a) Employee acknowledges and agrees that the nature of the Confidential Information which the Company commits to provide him during his employment by the

  
 5 

 
Company would make it difficult, if not impossible, for him to perform in a similar capacity for a Competing Business (as defined below) without disclosing or utilizing the Confidential
Information. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s business is conducted in a highly competitive market. Accordingly, Employee agrees that he will not (other than for the benefit of the Company pursuant to this Agreement)

months following the Termination Date work for or engage in a restaurant business that features the sale of steak where the sale of steak exceeds 30% of the restaurant’s revenues from food sales and which is located within 25 miles of any Del
Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House restaurant or Sullivan’s Steakhouse restaurant, (a “Competing Business”), or (2) for a period of 12 months following the Termination Date, (i) hire, attempt to hire, or contact or
solicit with respect to hiring any managerial employee of the Protected Company which includes, but is not necessarily limited to Regional Managers, General Managers, Probationary Managers, Managers, Executive Chefs, Managers in Training, and Sous
Chefs; (ii) solicit, divert or take away any customers or customer leads of the Company with whom Employee had, whether directly or indirectly, contact or business relations during the Employment Period or about whom Employee possesses
Confidential Information; or (iii) solicit, encourage, or influence any suppliers or vendors of the Protected Company to cease doing business with the Protected Company or change the terms and conditions upon which they conduct their business
with the Protected Company where Employee had, whether directly or indirectly, contact or business relations during the Employment Period with such vendors or suppliers, or about whom Employee possesses Confidential Information. 

(b) Employee acknowledges that the geographic boundaries, scope of prohibited activities, and time duration of the preceding paragraphs
are reasonable in nature and are no broader than are necessary to maintain the confidentiality and the goodwill of the Company and the confidentiality of its Confidential Information and to protect the other legitimate business interests of the
Company. 
 (c) If any court determines that any portion of this Section 9 is invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Section 9 shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid provisions. If any court construes any of the provisions of this Section 9, or any part thereof, to be
unreasonable because of the duration or scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision and to enforce such provision as so reduced. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a Change in Control of the Company, and Employee elects to resign his employment
within six months of the Change in Control upon providing ten days advance notice of such resignation, then Employee shall not thereafter be bound by Section 9(a) of this Agreement and the provisions therein shall be void and of no
effect. 
 (e) Definitions for Section 9 
 (1) “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following: the closing of a sale (by merger, sale of membership interests, issuance of

any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable

party at any time of any breach by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at any time.

 (e) Equitable and Other Relief. Employee acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an
insufficient remedy for a breach by Employee and that any such breach would cause the Company irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Company, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity it may have, shall be entitled, without the requirement
of posting of bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in connection with a breach of Sections 7, 8, or 9 by Employee. Employee further agrees that, in the event he is adjudicated to

or in equity, violation of Sections 7, 8, or 9 entitles the Company at its sole option to discontinue the Severance Payments to Employee, and to seek repayment from Employee of any Severance Payments paid to him by the Company during any
period of time Employee was in violation of Sections 7, 8, or 9. No action taken by the Company under this Section 11(e) shall affect the enforceability of the release and waiver of claims executed by Employee pursuant to
Section 5(b). 
 (f) Complete Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement constitute the entire and complete
understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements, representations and understandings of the parties, which are hereby terminated.
Other than expressly set forth herein, Employee and Company acknowledge and represent that there are no other promises, terms, conditions or representations (or written) regarding any matter relevant hereto. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts.

by binding arbitration of all claims, demands, causes of action, disputes, controversies or other matters in question in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Mandatory Arbitration Policy and Procedure for Resolving Disputes Arising out of
Its Employees’ Employment or Termination of Employment (“Arbitration Agreement”) to which Employee has previously agreed and which is incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Arbitration
Agreement, the Parties agree that the Company has the right to seek temporary relief, including injuctive relief and specific performance, in a court of competent jurisdiction for an alleged breach of Sections 7, 8, and 9 of this Agreement.
The parties agree that venue for any disputes arising from or related to this Agreement or any threatened breach thereof shall lie exclusively in Dallas County, Texas and that lawsuit or arbitration commenced in any other venue will be transferred
to Dallas County, Texas upon the written request of any party to this Agreement.

10 & 11 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement except as provided in Section 9(d). 
 (i) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina without reference to principles of conflict of laws of Texas or any
other jurisdiction, and, where applicable, the laws of the United States.

amended or modified at any time except by a written instrument executed by the Company and Employee.
