Form of Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

 Exhibit 10.29(a) 

FORM OF 
 AMENDED
AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) by and between Casey’s General
Stores, Inc. (the “Company”), and                          (the “Employee”), dated as of the
             day of                 , 2010. 

Whereas, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company; and 

Whereas, the Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Employee by virtue of the personal
uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control, to encourage the Employee’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the
Employee with compensation arrangements upon a Change of Control which provide the Employee with individual financial security and which are competitive with those of other corporations and, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has
caused the Company to enter into this Agreement; and 
 Whereas, the Company and Employee are parties to an Employment Agreement
dated                     , 19    , [as amended by a First Amendment to Employment Agreement dated
            ,             ] ([together, ]the “Prior Agreement”) concerning the subject matter hereof,
which the Company and Employee now desire to amend, restate and replace as set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
 1. Certain Definitions. (a) The “Effective Date” shall be the first date during the
“Change of Control Period” (as defined in Section l(b)) on which a Change of Control occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on
which a Change of Control occurs, and it is reasonably demonstrated that such termination (1) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (2) otherwise arose in connection
with or anticipation of a Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Effective Date” shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination. 

(b) The “Change of Control Period” is the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of
(i) the second anniversary of such date or (ii) the first day of the month next following the Employee’s normal retirement date (“Normal Retirement Date”) under the terms of the Casey’s General Stores 401(k) Plan or any
successor retirement plan (the “Retirement Plan”); provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary thereof is
hereinafter referred to as the “Renewal Date”), the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate on the earlier of (x) two years from such Renewal Date or (y) the first day of the month coinciding
with or next following the Employee’s Normal Retirement Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended. 

 

 1 

 2. Change of Control. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Change of
Control” shall mean: 
 (i) The acquisition (other than from the Company) by any person, entity or “group”,
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), (excluding, for this purpose, the Company or its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan of the Company or its
subsidiaries which acquires beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company) of beneficial ownership, (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of either the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock, no par value, of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (hereinafter referred to as the “Common
Stock”), unless such beneficial ownership was acquired as a result of an acquisition of shares of Common Stock by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned
by such person, entity or “group” to twenty percent (20%) or more of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a person, entity or “group” shall become the beneficial owner of twenty
percent (20%) or more of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company, become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Common Stock of
the Company, then such person, entity or “group” shall be deemed to have met the conditions hereof; or 
 (ii)
Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (as of the date hereof, the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the
date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual
whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the Directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act)
shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or 
 (iii)
Consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation to which the Company is a party, in each case, with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not,
immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company’s then outstanding voting securities, or a
liquidation or dissolution of the Company or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 3. Employment Period. The Company hereby agrees to continue the Employee in its
employ, and the Employee hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the second anniversary of such date or (b) the first day of the month
coinciding with or next following the Employee’s Normal Retirement Date (the “Employment Period”). 
 4. Terms
of Employment. (a) Position and Duties. (i) During the Employment Period, (A) the Employee’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at
least commensurate in all material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date and (B) the Employee’s services shall be performed at
the location where the Employee was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or any office or location less than thirty-five (35) miles from such location. 

(ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Employee is entitled, the Employee
agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Employee hereunder, to use the Employee’s
reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. 
 (b) Compensation.
(i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall receive a base salary (“Base Salary”) at a monthly rate at least equal to the highest monthly base salary paid or payable to the Employee by the Company during
the twelve-month period immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs. During the Employment Period, the Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually and shall be increased at any time and from time to time as shall be
substantially consistent with increases in base salary awarded in the ordinary course of business to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Any increase in Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the
Employee under this Agreement. Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase. 
 (ii) Annual Bonus. In
addition to Base Salary, the Employee shall be awarded, for each fiscal year during the Employment Period, an annual bonus (an “Annual Bonus”) in cash at least equal to the average bonus payable to the Employee from the Company and its
subsidiaries in respect of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs. 

(iii) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. In addition to Base Salary and Annual Bonus payable as hereinabove provided, the
Employee shall be entitled to participate during the Employment Period in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case providing
benefits which are the economic equivalent to those in effect or as subsequently amended. Such plans, practices, policies and programs, in the aggregate, shall provide the Employee with compensation, benefits and reward opportunities at least as
favorable as the most favorable of such compensation, benefits and reward opportunities provided by the Company for the Employee under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately
preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Employee, as provided at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. 

 

 3 

 (iv) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the Employee and/or the
Employee’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its subsidiaries (including, without
limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs), at least as favorable as the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies
and programs in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Employee and/or the Employee’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries. 
 (v) Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be entitled to
receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Employee in accordance with the most favorable policies, practices and procedures of the Company and its subsidiaries in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately
preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Employee, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. 

(vi) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be entitled to fringe benefits, including the continued use
of an automobile and payment of related expenses, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company and its subsidiaries in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective
Date or, if more favorable to the Employee, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. 

(vii) Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and
with furnishings and other appointments, and to secretarial and other assistance, at least equal to the most favorable of the foregoing provided to the Employee by the Company and its subsidiaries at any time during the 90-day period immediately
preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Employee, as provided at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. 

(viii) Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most
favorable plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and its subsidiaries as in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Employee, as in effect at any time
thereafter with respect to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. 
  

 4 

 5. Termination. (a) Death or Disability. This Agreement shall terminate
automatically upon the Employee’s death. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Employee has occurred (pursuant to the definition of “Disability” set forth below), it may give to the Employee written notice
of its intention to terminate the Employee’s employment. In such event, the Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Employee (the “Disability Effective
Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Employee shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Employee’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means disability which, at least
26 weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Employee or the Employee’s legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be
withheld unreasonably). 
 (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment for “Cause.” For
purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means (i) an act or acts of personal dishonesty taken by the Employee and intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Employee at the expense of the Company, (ii) repeated
violations by the Employee of the Employee’s obligations under Section 4(a) of this Agreement which are demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Employee’s part and which are not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt
of written notice from the Company or (iii) the conviction of the Employee of a felony. 
 (c) Good Reason. The
Employee’s employment may be terminated by the Employee for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means 

(i) the assignment to the Employee of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Employee’s position (including
status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 4(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties
or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee; 

(ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 4(b) of this Agreement, other than an
isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee; 

(iii) the Company’s requiring the Employee to be based at any office or location other than that described in
Section 4(a)(i)(B) hereof, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of the Employee’s responsibilities; 
  

 5 

 (iv) any purported termination by the Company of the Employee’s
employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or 
 (v) any failure by the Company to
comply with and satisfy Section 11(c) of this Agreement. 
 For purposes of this Section 5(c), any good faith
determination of “Good Reason” made by the Employee shall be conclusive. 
 (d) Notice of Termination. Any
termination by the Company for Cause or by the Employee for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 12(b) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of the Employee’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not
more than fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Employee to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Employee
hereunder or preclude the Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his rights hereunder. 
 (e) Date of
Termination. “Date of Termination” means the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) if the Employee’s employment is
terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Employee of such termination and (ii) if the Employee’s employment is terminated by reason of death
or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Employee or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 

6. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. 

(a) Death. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by reason of the Employee’s death, this Agreement shall terminate
without further obligations to the Employee’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by the Employee as of the Date of Termination, including, for this purpose
(i) the Employee’s full Base Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect on the Date of Termination or, if higher, at the highest rate in effect at any time from the 90-day period preceding the Effective Date through the
Date of Termination (the “Highest Base Salary”), (ii) the product of the Annual Bonus paid to the Employee for the last full fiscal year and a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through
the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (iii) any compensation previously deferred by the Employee (together with any accrued interest thereon) and not yet paid by the Company and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid
by the Company (such amounts specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are hereinafter referred to as “Accrued Obligations”). All such Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Employee’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable,
in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Employee’s family shall be entitled to receive benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by
the Company and any of its subsidiaries to surviving families of employees of the Company and such subsidiaries under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to family death benefits, if any, in accordance with the most favorable
plans, programs, practices and policies of the Company and its subsidiaries in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Employee and/or the Employee’s family, as in effect
on the date of the Employee’s death with respect to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and their families. 
  

 6 

 (b) Disability. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by reason of the
Employee’s Disability, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Employee, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by the Employee as of the Date of Termination, including for this
purpose, all Accrued Obligations. All such Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Employee shall be entitled
after the Disability Effective Date to receive disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those provided by the Company and its subsidiaries to disabled employees and/or their families in accordance with such plans,
programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, in accordance with the most favorable plans, programs, practices and policies of the Company and its subsidiaries in effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding
the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Employee and/or the Employee’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and their families. 

(c) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If the Employee’s employment shall be terminated for Cause, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Employee other than the obligation to pay to the Employee the Highest Base Salary through the Date of Termination plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Employee (together with
accrued interest thereon). If the Employee terminates employment other than for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Employee, other than those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by the
Employee through the Date of Termination, including for this purpose, all Accrued Obligations. All such Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. 

(d) Good Reason; Other Than for Cause or Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the
Employee’s employment other than for Cause, Disability, or death or if the Employee shall terminate his employment for Good Reason: 
  

 7 

 (i) the Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum in cash within
thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts: 
 A. to the extent
not theretofore paid, the Employee’s Highest Base Salary through the Date of Termination; and 
 B. the
product of (x) the Annual Bonus paid to the Employee for the last full fiscal year (if any) ending during the Employment Period or, if higher, the Annual Bonus paid to the Employee for the last full fiscal year prior to the Effective Date (as
applicable, the “Recent Bonus”) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365; and 

C. the product of (x) three and (y) the sum of (i) the Highest Base Salary and (ii) the Recent Bonus;
and 
 D. in the case of compensation previously deferred by the Employee, all amounts previously deferred
(together with any accrued interest thereon) and not yet paid by the Company, and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company; and 

(ii) for the remainder of the Employment Period, or such longer period as any plan program, practice or policy may
provide, the Company shall continue benefits to the Employee and/or the Employee’s family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in
Section 4(b)(iv) of this Agreement if the Employee’s employment had not been terminated, including health insurance and life insurance, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Company and its
subsidiaries during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Employee, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees and their families, and for purposes of eligibility for
retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Employee shall be considered to have remained employed until the end of the Employment Period and to have retired on the last day of such period. 

7. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Employee’s continuing or future
participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans, programs, policies or practices, provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and for which the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such
rights as the Employee may have under any stock option or other agreements with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Employee is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or
program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program. 
  

 8 

 8. Full Settlement. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for
in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Employee or others. In no event shall
the Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay, to the full extent permitted by law,
all legal fees and expenses which the Employee may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or
any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Employee about the amount of any payment pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement), plus in each case interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in
Section 7872(f)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
 9. Certain Reduction of
Payments by the Company. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee (whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be nondeductible by the Company for Federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present
value of amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of the Employee pursuant to this Agreement (such payments or distributions pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as “Agreement Payments”) shall be reduced to
the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of
Section 280G of the Code. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Reduced Amount is zero and it is determined further that any Payment which is not an Agreement Payment would nevertheless be nondeductible by the Company for Federal
income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of Payments which are not Agreement Payments shall also be reduced (but not below zero) to an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the
aggregate present value of Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code. For purposes of this Section 9, present value shall be determined in accordance with
Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. 
 (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 9 shall be made by
KPMG LLP, or such other firm as shall have conducted the most recent audit of the Company’s financial statements (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within
15 business days of the Date of Termination or such earlier time as is requested by the Company and an opinion to the Employee that he has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his Federal income tax return with respect to any
Payments. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. The Employee shall determine which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this
Section 9, provided that, if the Employee does not make such determination within ten business days of the receipt of the calculations made by the Accounting Firm, the Company shall elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated
or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 9 and shall notify the Employee promptly of such election. Within five business days thereafter, the Company shall pay to or distribute to or for the benefit of the Employee such
amounts as are then due to the Employee under this Agreement. 
  

 9 

 (c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at
the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made (“Overpayment”) or that additional Payments which will not have been
made by the Company could have been made (“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal
Revenue Service against the Employee which the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee
shall be treated for all purposes as a loan ab initio to the Employee which the Employee shall repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided,
however, that no such loan shall be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by the Employee to the Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Employee is subject to tax
under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. 

(d) If, at the time of the Employee’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”)), (i) the Employee shall be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time
to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in
Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Company (or its affiliate, as applicable) shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead accumulate such amount and pay it
on the first business day of the seventh (7th) month following such separation from service, without interest. 
 10.
Confidential Information. The Employee shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and their respective
businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Employee during the Employee’s employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Employee or his representatives
in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone
other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 10 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Employee under this Agreement.

  

 10 

 11. Successors. (a) This Agreement is personal to the Employee and without the
prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee’s legal
representatives. 
 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and
assigns. 
 (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise. 
 12. Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Iowa, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than
by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives. 
 (b) All
notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: If to the Company, to
Casey’s General Stores, Inc., P.O. Box 3001, One Convenience Blvd., Ankeny, Iowa 50021, Attn: President; and if to the Employee, to her address appearing on the books of the Company, or to her residence, or to such other address as either party
shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee. 

(c) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement. 
 (d) The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state
or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
  

 11 

 (e) The Employee’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or any other provision thereof. 
 (f) This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Prior Agreement is hereby terminated. 

(g) The Employee and the Company acknowledge that the employment of the Employee by the Company is “at will”, and, prior to the
Effective Date, may be terminated by either the Employee or the Company at any time, with or without cause, and with or without prior notice. The Employee acknowledges that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of continued employment for
any specified term, or a contract of any type for any benefits or rights of employment, until the Effective Date hereof, and that upon a termination of the Employee’s employment prior to the Effective Date, there shall be no further rights
under this Agreement. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employee has hereunto set his or her hand and, pursuant to the authorization
from its Board of Directors, the Company as caused these presents to be executed in its name on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.

 Exhibit 10.3 

ASSIGNMENT 

This assignment (the “Assignment”) is entered into on May 27, 2010, among Harrison I. Steans
(“Steans”) and each of the entities listed in Schedule I (collectively, the “Assignees”). 

Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 21, 2010, among
Taylor Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and the investors set forth therein (the “Investors”), the Investors, in the aggregate, agreed to purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s 8.0% Non-Cumulative
Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the “Series C Preferred”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The
Investors include Steans as well as Prairie Capital IV, L.P. and Prairie Capital IV QP, L.P. (collectively, the “Prairie Capital Funds”). Each of the Assignees (other than PCB, LP) also is an Investor. 

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed that, notwithstanding anything in
the Securities Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Prairie Capital Funds would be entitled to reduce their aggregate commitment pursuant thereto by providing written notice to the Company prior to the Closing to the extent that the Prairie
Capital Funds determine in good faith that the performance of their obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement would violate any federal or state law, rule or regulation and/or subject either of the Prairie Capital Funds or any of their
respective affiliates to regulation as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. 
 In connection with
the execution and delivery of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Steans entered into an investment agreement with the Company (the “Investment Agreement”), dated May 21, 2010, in which he agreed to increase his investment in
the Series C Preferred by an amount equal to the amount that the Prairie Capital Funds agreed to invest in shares of the Series C Preferred, minus the amount that the Prairie Capital Funds are permitted to invest in shares of the Series C Preferred
without requiring further approval or consent of the Federal Reserve. 
 The Prairie Capital Funds have notified the Company
that they will be required to reduce their investment in shares of Series C Preferred by $2,975,000 and, therefore, not acquire 119,000 shares of Series C Preferred that they otherwise would be required to purchase pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement. 
 Steans and the Assignees have agreed that Steans will assign to the Assignees, and the Assignees will
assume, the obligation to invest such additional funds in shares of Series C Preferred pursuant to the Investment Agreement on the terms set forth herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, Steans hereby assigns to each of the Assignees the right to, and each of the Assignees severally, and not jointly, assumes the obligation of Steans, to invest in the corresponding number of shares of Series C Preferred set forth
next to such Assignee’s name on Schedule I to this Assignment pursuant to the Investment Agreement. 

 In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Assignees (other than PCB, LP) hereby agrees
that the shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased by it pursuant to this Assignment shall be regarded as shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased by such Assignee pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. 

Since PCB, LP is not otherwise a party to the Securities Purchase Agreement, by executing this Assignment, PCB hereby agrees to become a
party to the Securities Purchase Agreement as a Preferred Buyer and in connection therewith, PCB has executed the signature page to the Securities Purchase Agreement attached hereto and incorporated herein. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Steans and the Assignees have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first written above.
