Dave & Busters Select Executive Retirement Plan as amended and restated by Dave & Busters Management Corporation, Inc., effective as of January 1, 2017

Exhibit 10.1

DAVE & BUSTER’S SELECT EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

This Select Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is amended and restated by Dave & Buster’s Management Corporation, Inc., effective, unless otherwise provided for herein, as of January 1, 2017.

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE; FINANCING PLAN BENEFITS

1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide a select group of management or highly compensated Employees of the Employer with certain deferred compensation benefits as described herein. The Employer intends that the Plan shall constitute an “unfunded plan” for purposes of the Code and Title I of ERISA, as amended, and that any Participant or Beneficiary shall have the status of an unsecured general creditor of the Employer as to the Plan and any trust fund that may be established by the Employer, or asset identified specifically by the Employer, as a reserve for the discharge of its obligations under the Plan.

1.2 Financing Plan Benefits. All Benefits under this Plan shall be paid or provided directly by the Employer. Such Benefits shall be general obligations of the Employer which shall not require the segregation of any funds or property therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the discretion of the Employer, the Employer’s obligations hereunder may be satisfied from a grantor trust established by the Employer, the terms of which will be substantially similar to the terms of the model trust issued by the Internal Revenue Service in Revenue Procedure 92-64, or from an insurance contract or contracts owned by the Employer. The assets of any such trust and any such insurance policy shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Employer, shall be considered solely a means to assist the Employer to meet its contractual obligations under this Plan and shall not create a funded account or security interest for the benefit of any Participant under this Plan. All such assets shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Employer in the event the Employer is Insolvent. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive a payment from the Employer under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer. If a trust is established as provided for in this Section 1.2, earnings and/or losses of the trust attributable to amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall increase or, if applicable, decrease such Participant’s Account for purposes of determining the Participant’s Benefits payable hereunder, and each Participant shall be given the opportunity to direct the investment of the trust’s assets attributable to his Account among investment options selected by the Employer from time to time. Any such investment election by a Participant shall be subject to the terms of the trust and the approval of the trustee thereof.

ARTICLE IV

PARTICIPATION, PLAN BENEFITS AND VESTING

4.1 General. Subject to the vesting provisions of Section 4.5 hereof and the provisions of Article V, the Benefits to which a Participant and, if applicable, his Beneficiary shall be entitled under the Plan will consist of Deferred Compensation and Employer Contributions credited to such Participant’s Account, plus earnings thereon and less losses allocable thereto, if any, attributable to the investment of such amounts pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof.

4.2 Participation Election; Deferred Compensation Elections. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise prior to a Period of Service, the maximum percentage of Compensation that an Eligible Employee may elect to defer for a Period of Service shall not exceed fifty percent (50%). Subject, for Periods of Service prior to calendar year 2006, to a Participant’s Special Deferred Compensation Election with respect to bonuses as described in Section 4.3, before the beginning of each Period of Service for which Compensation is earned by an Eligible Employee, the Employee must elect in writing the percentage of his Compensation that will be deferred for such period by executing a Deferred Compensation/Participation Agreement in such form as the Administrator shall prescribe. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, for the first Period of Service in which an Employee becomes Eligible to participate in the Plan, the Eligible Employee may elect within 30 days after the date the Employee becomes Eligible to participate in the Plan to defer Compensation with respect to Compensation for services performed subsequent to the election. From time to time during each Period of Service for which a Participant has executed a Deferred Compensation/Participation Agreement, the Employer will credit the amount of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation to his Account. If an Eligible Employee does not execute a Deferred Compensation/Participation Agreement for a particular Period of Service in accordance with this Section 4.2, he may not participate in the Plan for that Period of Service with respect to a Deferred Compensation Election, but he may make a separate Special Deferred Compensation Election, for Periods of Service prior to calendar year 2006, with respect to a bonus in accordance with Section 4.3. Thereafter, he may elect to make a Deferred Compensation Election and participate in the Plan with respect to future Periods of Service, if he is then eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, by executing a Deferred Compensation/Participation Agreement and electing to defer a percentage of Compensation prior to any such future Period of Service.

4.3 Special Deferred Compensation Election for Bonuses. For Periods of Service prior to calendar year 2006, in addition to the Deferred Compensation Election described in Section 4.2, an Eligible Employee may make a Special Deferred Compensation Election with respect to a discretionary bonus payable to an Eligible Employee for any Period of Service, provided that an Eligible Employee makes such election prior to the date the discretionary bonus is declared by executing a Deferred Compensation/Participation Agreement setting forth his Special Deferred Compensation Election. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer a percentage or a stated dollar amount of a bonus as part of his Special Deferred Compensation Election or may elect not to defer any portion of his bonus. If a Special Deferred Compensation Election is not made by a Participant pursuant to this Section 4.3 and he has made a Deferred Compensation Election pursuant to Section 4.2 for a particular Period of Service, the rate a deferral elected in that Deferred Compensation Election shall determine the portion of his bonus to be deferred for that Period of Service. No Special Deferred Compensation Elections may be made for any Period of Service after calendar year 2005.

5

4.4 Employer Contributions. The Employer may credit each Participant’s Account from time to time with amounts that represent Employer Contributions, which will be based on the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Election. Whether Employer Contributions are credited to a Participant’s Account for a particular Period of Service shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Employer based, among other things, on the Employer’s profitability, and such contributions shall be credited only to Participants who are Employees on the last day of the particular Period of Service for which the contributions are credited. The value of such amounts (as determined under Section 4.1) will be used, along with the Participant’s Deferred Compensation, to determine the Participant’s Benefits as specified herein.

4.5 Vesting. In the event of a Participant’s termination of employment, he will be entitled to receive:

Each Participant will vest in the portion of his Account attributable to Employer Contributions at the rate of 20% per year for each calendar year during which he performs 1,000 hours of service for the Employer beginning with the calendar year in which the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant will become fully vested in his Account (i) in the event of his termination of employment on or after his Normal Retirement Age, or by reason of his Disability or death and (ii) upon a Change of Control, subject to the conditions contained in Section 2.6 applicable to determining whether a Change of Control has occurred with respect to a Participant.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS

5.1 Payment of Benefits.

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, payment of any Benefit under the Plan shall be made as soon as administratively practicable, following the occurrence of the event causing the Benefit to become payable as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, but not later than sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the event.

5.2 Retirement, Disability, or Death. Upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer on or after his Normal Retirement Age, or by reason of his Disability or death, the Employer will pay the full value of his Account to him in the form of a single sum cash payment.

In the event the Participant’s employment with the Employer terminates for any reason other than retirement on or after Normal Retirement Age, death, or Disability, the value of the vested portion of his Account will be paid in the form of a single sum cash payment.

5.4 Timing of Certain Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, Benefits shall be paid to Participants prior to the time such Benefits otherwise would be payable hereunder if the Committee in good faith determines that either of the following conditions or events has occurred:

5.6 Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant must designate a Beneficiary to receive his Benefits in the event of his death, by completing his Deferred Compensation/Participation Agreement and filing it with the Administrator. The Administrator will recognize the most recent written Beneficiary designation on file prior to a Participant’s death. If a designated Beneficiary is not living at the time of the Participant’s death, then the Administrator will pay Participant’s Benefits to the Participant’s personal representative, executor, or administrator, as specified by the appropriate legal jurisdiction. Any such payment to the Participant’s Beneficiary or, if applicable, to his personal representative, executor or administrator shall operate as a complete discharge of all obligations of the Administrator, the Committee and the Employer to the extent of the payment so made.

7

5.7 Special Code Section 409A Related Election Rights for 2005. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, each Participant may elect, during a reasonable period designated by the Employer for purposes of this Section 5.7 prior to December 31, 2005, to cancel his outstanding Deferred Compensation Election and/or Special Deferred Compensation Election for 2005 as provided for in Notice 2005-1, Q&A-20 issued by the Internal Revenue Service. All elections made by Participants pursuant to this Section 5.7, including earnings, if any on the amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Elections being cancelled, shall be in writing on a form authorized by the Company for such purpose and all Benefits payable as a result of the elections made by Participants pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be paid in a single sum payment, in cash, as soon as administratively practicable following the date of such elections, but no later than December 31, 2005. If a Participant elects to cancel a deferred compensation election pursuant to this Section 5.7, no Employer Contributions will be credited to the Participant’s Account with respect to the amounts associated with that election.

5.8 Deferred Payments for Certain Key Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Plan to the contrary, if, upon the advice of its counsel, the Employer determines that (a) at the time of the Participant’s separation from service with the Employer (as described in Section 5.9), he is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and (b) that any payments to be provided to the Participant under the Plan are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(l)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code (“409A Taxes”) if paid at the time such payments are otherwise required under the Plan then such payments shall be delayed until the earlier of the date that is six months after the date of the Participant’s separation from service or the Participant’s death. The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall only apply to the minimum extent required to avoid the Participant’s incurrence of any 409A Taxes.

5.9 Section 409A Separation from Service. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan to the contrary, no amount shall be paid pursuant to the Plan relating to a Participant’s termination of employment with the Employer unless such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code).
