RESOURCES CONNECTION, INC.

2020 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PROGRAM

1.Establishment; Purpose.  This Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Award Program(this “Program”) is adopted under the Resources Connection, Inc. 2020 Performance Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).  The purpose of this Program is to promote the success of the Corporation and the interests of its stockholders by providing members of the Board who are not officers or employees of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (“Non-Employee Directors”) an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation and more closely aligning the interests of Non-Employee Directors and stockholders.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of the Plan shall govern all awards made pursuant to this Program.  Capitalized terms are defined in the Plan if not defined herein.

2.Participation.  Awards under this Program shall be made only to Non-Employee Directorsand shall be further subject to such other terms and conditions set forth therein.  A restricted stock award under this Program shall be evidenced by an award agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  If a Non-Employee Director has elected to receive stock units pursuant to the Corporation’s Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), such stock units shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Non-Employee Director’s applicable election(s) under the Deferred Compensation Plan, and the provisions of this Program (which, together, shall constitute the award agreement as to those stock units).  The Administrator may require a Non-Employee Director to execute the award agreement evidencing his or her award grant under this Program as a condition to the effectiveness of such grant.

3.Annual Restricted Stock Awards.  

3.1Initial Award for New Directors. Upon first being appointed or elected to the Board after the date on which the Board approves this Program, each Non-Employee Director who has not previously served on the Board shall be granted automatically (without any action by the Board or the Administrator) a restricted stock award, the date of grant of which will be the date such Non-Employee Director is first appointed or elected to the Board.  The number of shares subject to each such restricted stock award will be determined by dividing the pro rata portion of the Annual Non-Employee Director Award of $100,000 (with the proration based on the number of calendar days in the calendar year that the director will serve as a Non-Employee Director) by the per-share closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant (rounded down to the nearest whole share).

3.2Subsequent Annual Awards.  For each calendar year during the term of the Plan commencing in 2021, each Non-Employee Director shall be granted automatically (without any action by the Board or Administrator) a restricted stock award (or, if the Non-Employee Director has so elected in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, stock units under the Deferred Compensation Plan), the date of grant of which will be such first trading day in January of such calendar year.  The number of

1

shares subject to each such award will be determined by dividing $100,000 by the per share closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant (rounded down to the nearest whole share).  An individual who was previously a member of the Board, who then ceased to be a member of the Board for any reason, and who then again becomes a Non-Employee Director shall thereupon again become eligible to be granted an award under this Section 3.2.

3.3Transfer Restrictions.  Restricted stock awards granted pursuant to this Section 3 shall be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 5.6 of the Plan. For purposes of clarity, the Administrator has not approved any transfer exceptions with respect to the restricted stock in accordance with Section 5.6.2 of the Plan.

4.Vesting.  Each award granted under Section 3 above (including stock units credited under the Deferred Compensation Plan) and all rights or obligations under this Program (and the Deferred Compensation Plan as to stock units credited thereunder) shall be subject to terminationas provided below.  Subject to Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof, each award granted under Section 3 shall vest, and restrictions shall lapse, with respect to 25% of the total number of shares (or units, as the case maybe) subject thereto (subject to adjustment under Section 6) on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant of the award; provided that regular cash dividends (including dividend equivalents for regular cash dividends as to stock units credited under the Deferred Compensation Plan) shall be fully vested.

5.Termination of Directorship.  If a Non-Employee Director’s services as a member of the Board terminate for any reason, whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily (the date of such termination is referred to as the Non-Employee Director’s “Severance Date”), then any award granted to the Non-Employee Director pursuant to Section 3 above (including stock units credited under the Deferred Compensation Plan) and outstanding on the Non-Employee Director’s Severance Date shall terminate on that date to the extent not previously vested (except in the event of mandatory retirement as provided below).  If any unvested shares of restricted stock, or stock units credited under the Deferred Compensation Plan, are terminated hereunder, such restricted stock or units, as the case may be, shall automatically terminate and be cancelled as of the Severance Date without payment of any consideration by the Corporation and without any other action by the Non-Employee Director, or the Non-Employee Director’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be.

In the event that a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board due to his or her mandatory retirement as required under the Corporation’s mandatory retirement policy as then in effect for members of the Board, each award granted to such Non-Employee Director under Section 3 above that is outstanding and otherwise unvested immediately prior to such retirement shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the Non-Employee Director’s Severance Date as a result of such mandatory retirement.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5, if a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board (regardless of the reason) but, immediately thereafter, is employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, then his or her Severance Date shall not occur until the first date that he or she is not a member of the Board and is not employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries.

2

The vesting schedule set forth in Section 4 requires continued service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the award, except as otherwise expressly provided above.  Service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Non-Employee Director to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of services as provided above.

Nothing contained in this Program constitutes a service commitment by the Corporation, confers upon a Non-Employee Director any right to remain in service to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at any time to terminate such services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to increase or decrease the Non-Employee Director’s other compensation or benefits.  Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of a Non-Employee Director without his or her consent thereto.

6.Adjustments.  Shares of restricted stock subject to awards granted under this Program shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan, but only to the extent that such adjustment is consistent with adjustments to shares of restricted stock held by persons other than executive officers or directors of the Corporation (to the extent that persons other than executive officers or directors of the Corporation then hold shares of restricted stock).  The grant levels reflected in Section 3 above shall be automatically adjusted upon the record date for any stock split, reverse stock split, or stock dividend to give effect to such change in capitalization unless otherwise provided by the Board in the circumstances, and may be adjusted in the discretion of the Board in any other circumstances contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan.

7.Acceleration and Possible Early Termination. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event (as such term is defined below), each award granted under Section 3 above (including stock units credited under the Deferred Compensation Plan), to the extent such award is then outstanding, shall become immediately vested and nonforfeitable in full.  Each restricted stock award shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in connection with such event.

For purposes of this Section 7, a “Change in Control Event” means any of the following:

(a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (a “Person”)) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of either (1) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (2) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that, for purposes of this definition, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control Event; (A) any acquisition directly from the Corporation, (B) any acquisition by the Corporation, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation or a successor, or (D) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction that complies with Sections (c)(1), (2) and (3) below;

3

(b) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (including for these purposes, the new members whose election or nomination was so approved, without counting the member and his predecessor twice) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

(c)Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets directly or through one or more subsidiaries (a “Parent”)) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Corporation or such entity resulting from such Business Combination or Parent) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then- outstanding shares of common stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, except to the extent that the ownership in excess of more than 50% existed prior to the Business Combination, and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or trustees of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or

(d)Approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation other than in the context of a transaction that does not constitute a Change in Control Event under clause (c) above.

4

8.Maximum Number of Shares; Amendment; Administration.  If award grants otherwise required pursuant to this Program would otherwise exceed any applicable share limit under Section 4.2 of the Plan, such grants shall be made pro-rata to directors entitled to such grants.  The Board may from time to time amend this Program without stockholder approval; provided that no such amendment shall materially and adversely affect the rights of a Non-Employee Director as to an award granted under this Program before the adoption of such amendment.  This Program does not limit the Board’s authority to make other, discretionary award grants to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to the Plan.  The Plan Administrator’s power and authority to construe and interpret the Plan and awards thereunder pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Plan shall extend to this Program and awards granted hereunder.  As provided in Section 3.2 of the Plan, any action taken by, or inaction of, the Administrator relating or pursuant to this Program and within its authority or under applicable law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons.
