Neither this Award nor the Units subject to this Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered, voluntarily or involuntarily, other than a transfer upon your death in accordance with your will, by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a beneficiary designation submitted in accordance with the Plan. Following any such transfer, this Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to this Award immediately prior to its transfer. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section 3 shall be void and without effect. The Units and your right to receive Shares in settlement of the Units under this Agreement shall be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 6 until satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in Section 5.

4.    No Shareholder Rights. The Units subject to this Award do not entitle you to any rights of a holder of the Company’s common stock. You will not have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company in connection with the grant of Units subject to this Agreement unless and until Shares are issued to you upon settlement of the Units as provided in Section 7.
5.    Vesting of Units. For purposes of this Agreement, “Vesting Date” means any date, including the Scheduled Vesting Dates specified in the Vesting Schedule on the cover page of this Agreement, on which Units subject to this Agreement vest as provided in this Section 5. Notwithstanding the vesting and subsequent settlement of this Award, the Award and any Share issuances or payments made hereunder shall remain subject to the provisions of Section 16(i) of the Plan.

(a)Scheduled Vesting. If you remain a Service Provider continuously from the Grant Date specified on the cover page of this Agreement and in compliance with the terms of Exhibit 1, then the Units will vest in the amounts and on the Scheduled Vesting Dates specified in the Vesting Schedule.

(b)Accelerated Vesting. The vesting of outstanding Units will be accelerated under the circumstances provided below:

(1)Death or Disability. If your Service terminates prior to the final Scheduled Vesting Date due to your death or Disability, then all of the unvested Units shall vest as of such termination date.

RSU Agreement – Executives (2019 Plan – October 11, 2022 Grant)    Page 2

(2)Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs while you continue to be a Service Provider and prior to the final Scheduled Vesting Date, the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan shall apply, including those providing for benefits upon termination of Service for Good Reason, subject to your continued compliance with Exhibit 1.

(3)Retirement. If, due to Retirement, your Service terminates at least twelve (12) months after the Grant Date and prior to the final Scheduled Vesting Date, then all of the unvested Units shall vest as of such termination date, subject to your continued compliance with Exhibit 1. For this purpose, (i) Retirement means any termination of employment (other than by the Company for Cause or due to death or Disability) at or after age sixty-five (65) or at or after age fifty-five (55) with ten (10) or more years of continuous Service to the Company and its Affiliates, with Service measured from your most recent date of hire and (ii) any period of service to an entity prior to such entity becoming an Affiliate will not count towards your Service measurement.

6.    Effect of Termination of Service. Except as otherwise provided in accordance with Section 5(b) above, if you cease to be a Service Provider, you will forfeit all unvested Units. Notwithstanding this forfeiture, you will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Exhibit 1.

7.    Settlement of Units. After any Units vest pursuant to Section 5, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (but no later than the 15th day of the third calendar month following the Vesting Date), cause to be issued and delivered to you (or to your personal representative or your designated beneficiary or estate in the event of your death, as applicable) one Share in payment and settlement of each vested Unit. Delivery of the Shares shall be effected by the issuance of a stock certificate to you, by an appropriate entry in the stock register maintained by the Company’s transfer agent with a notice of issuance provided to you, or by the electronic delivery of the Shares to a brokerage account you designate, and shall be subject to the tax withholding provisions of Section 9 and compliance with all applicable legal requirements as provided in Section 16 of the Plan, and shall be in complete satisfaction and settlement of such vested Units. If the Units that vest include a fractional Unit, the Company shall round the number of vested Units to the nearest whole Unit prior to issuance of Shares as provided herein.

8.    Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays cash dividends on its Shares while any Units subject to this Agreement are outstanding, then the Company shall credit, as of each dividend payment date, a dollar amount of dividend equivalents to your account. The dollar amount of the dividend equivalents credited shall be determined by multiplying the number of Units credited to your account pursuant to this Agreement as of the dividend record date times the dollar amount of the cash dividend per Share. Your right to receive such accrued dividend equivalents shall vest, and the amount of the accrued dividend equivalents shall be paid in cash, to the same extent and at the same time as the underlying Units to which the dividend equivalents relate vest and are settled, as provided in Sections 5 and 7 of this Agreement. No interest shall accrue on any unpaid dividend equivalents. Any dividend equivalents accrued on Units that are forfeited in accordance with this Agreement shall also be forfeited.

9.    Tax Consequences and Withholding. No Shares will be delivered to you in settlement of vested Units, and no payment of any accrued dividend equivalents will be made, unless you have made arrangements acceptable to the Company for payment of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the delivery of the Shares and any such payment. You hereby authorize the Company (or any Affiliate) to withhold from the aggregated accrued dividend equivalent amount, payroll or other amounts payable to you any sums required to satisfy such withholding tax obligations, and otherwise agree to satisfy such obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of the Plan. You further authorize and consent to the Company, or its respective agents, that all withholding tax obligations may be satisfied by having the Company or its agent withhold a number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to you in settlement of the Units and that have a fair market value equal to the then-outstanding amount of such withholding tax obligations, unless in lieu thereof, you elect at the time of conversion of the Units such other then-permitted method or combination of methods established by the Committee in its discretion, if any, to satisfy your withholding tax obligations.
10.    Notices.

1.3     Non-Competition. During the Restriction Period, Service Provider shall not within the Restricted Territory (or for the benefit of any Competing Business located within the Restricted Territory) engage in (including, without limitation, being employed by, working for, or rendering services to) any Competing Business in any Prohibited Capacity if in such Prohibited Capacity for the Competing Business, Service Provider is working on, involved in, assisting in, or managing with respect to, the design, development, production, improvement, engineering, manufacture, provision or sale of any Competing Product. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Competing Business has multiple divisions or business units, one or more of which is not competitive with the business of the Company Group, nothing herein will prohibit Service Provider from being employed or engaged by, working for or assisting in a Prohibited Capacity only that division or business unit of such Competing Business that is not competitive with the business of the Company Group.

For purposes of the covenants set forth in Subsections 1.3 through 1.5, each and every reference to “Company” in Section 1 (and any related procedural and/or remedial provisions relating to the enforcement of this Agreement) means Winnebago Industries, Inc. and/or any Affiliate with respect to which, at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the separation of Service Provider’s relationship with the Company Group, Service Provider has provided any services for, on behalf of, or for the benefit of, such Affiliate, has been responsible for managing, in whole or in part, or has received or has had access to any trade secrets or other Confidential Information concerning such Affiliate’s business (a “Covered Affiliate”). Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that any Covered Affiliate is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and this Agreement may be enforced by the Company and/or the Covered Affiliate, either singularly or jointly.
1.7    Reasonableness of Covenants.  Service Provider agrees that the scope and duration of each Subsection in this Section 1 are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company Group’s legitimate business interests. 
1.8    Tolling. In the event Service Provider violates any restrictive covenant contained in Section 1 of this Agreement, the duration of all restrictive covenants (and the Restriction Period) shall automatically be extended by the length of time during which Service Provider was in violation of any such covenant, including, but not limited to, an extension equal to the time period from the date of Service Provider’s first violation until an injunction is entered enjoining such violation.

This Section 3 does not apply to any inventions or intellectual property for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or Confidential Information of the Company Group was used, and which was developed entirely on Service Provider’s own time, unless (i) the invention or intellectual property relates (A) directly to the business of the Company Group, or (B) to the Company Group’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) the invention or intellectual property results from any work performed by Service Provider for the Company Group.

4.    Non-Disparagement

Subject to Section 6, Service Provider agrees that, during the Restriction Period, Service Provider will not make or publish any statement or comment that defames, disparages or in any way injures the reputation and/or goodwill of the Company, the Company Group or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives.

5.    Injunctive and Other Remedies

Service Provider agrees that a breach or threatened breach by Service Provider of this Agreement will give rise to irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not be adequate relief for such injury, and, accordingly, agrees that the Company or any member of the Company Group shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief, including, but not limited to, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and/or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond or other security, to restrain or prohibit such breach or threatened breach, in addition to any other remedies which may be available, including the recovery of damages. In addition, if Service Provider breaches this Agreement then Service Provider will forfeit the Award and any equity granted thereunder. In addition to all other relief to which it shall be entitled, the Company shall be entitled to recover from Service Provider all reasonable litigation costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Company in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in which the Company prevails in any respect. Remedies are cumulative and not exclusive.

6.    No Unlawful Restriction

Service Provider understands and agrees that nothing in this Agreement is intended to or will prevent or interfere with Service Provider’s ability or right to: (i) provide truthful testimony if under subpoena to do so, (ii) file any charge with or participate in any investigation or proceeding before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency, (iii) engage in any conduct protected under the National Labor Relations Act, or (iv) report possible violations of law or regulations to any governmental agency or from making other disclosures protected under any applicable whistleblower laws, or (v) respond to a subpoena, court order or as otherwise provided by law.

7.    Miscellaneous
7.1    Assignment. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns of the Parties (including, with respect to the Company, any member of the Company Group), except that the duties and responsibilities of Service Provider under this Agreement are of a personal nature and shall not be assignable or delegable in whole or in part by Service Provider.
7.2    Severability. The covenants, provisions and restrictions in this Agreement are separate and divisible to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent any covenant, provision or portion of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the Company and Service Provider acknowledge and agree that such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remainder of this Agreement. If any particular covenant, provision or portion of this Agreement is determined to be unreasonable or unenforceable for any reason, including, without limitation, the time period, geographical area, and/or scope of activity covered by any restrictive covenant or non-disclosure provision, or portion thereof, the Company and Service Provider acknowledge and agree that such covenant, provision or portion shall automatically be deemed reformed such that the contested covenant, provision or portion will have the closest effect permitted by applicable law to the original form and shall be given effect

and enforced as so reformed to whatever extent would be reasonable and enforceable under applicable law. The Company and Service Provider agree that any court interpreting any restrictive covenant or non-disclosure provision of this Agreement shall interpret such provision in a manner that would make the provision valid under applicable law to the extent possible and, if necessary, reform any such provision to make it enforceable under applicable law.
7.3    Survival. Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that certain of Service Provider’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Service Provider’s non-disclosure and restrictive covenant obligations, shall survive the termination of Service Provider’s employment or engagement with the Company Group for any reason. Service Provider further acknowledges and agrees that: (A) the confidentiality, intellectual property, and restrictive covenants provisions set forth in Section 1, Section 2, and Section 3 of this Agreement shall be construed as independent covenants and that no breach of any contractual or legal duty by the Company or any other member of the Company Group shall be held sufficient to excuse or terminate Service Provider’s covenants or obligations under Section 1 , Section 2, and Section 3 or preclude the Company or any other member of the Company Group from obtaining injunctive relief for Service Provider’s violation or threatened violation of such provisions; and (B) the existence of any claim or cause of action by Service Provider against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the Company’s or any other member of the Company Group’s enforcement of Service Provider’s covenants and obligations under this Agreement.
7.4    The Company Does Not Waive Its Rights by Non-Enforcement. Service Provider acknowledges that the Company’s failure to demand rigid adherence to one or more terms of this Agreement, on one or more occasions, will not be construed as a waiver nor deprive the Company of the right thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with any such term or terms.
7.5    Disclosure of Existence of Agreement and Subsequent Employment. Service Provider agrees that (i) if Service Provider should decide to seek other employment, Service Provider will fully disclose the contents of this Agreement to prospective employers before accepting any offer of employment; (ii) if Service Provider accepts other employment, Service Provider will confirm to the Company in writing that Service Provider has properly notified Service Provider’s new employer of the contents of this Agreement; and (iii) the Company may advise any third party of the existence of this Agreement and of its terms and may provide copies of this Agreement to such third party, and the Company shall have no liability for so doing.
7.6    Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, that this Agreement shall supplement and not supersede any written restrictive covenant agreement or any other agreement between Service Provider and any member of the Company Group addressing non-disclosure of confidential information, assignment of inventions or other terms for the benefit of the Company Group previously entered into between the Parties or between Service Provider and any other member of the Company Group (the “Other Protective Agreements”). This Agreement and the Other Protective Agreements shall be read and interpreted together to provide the maximum protection to the Company. The terms of this Agreement may be changed only by a written document signed by Service Provider and an authorized representative of the Company.
7.7    Governing Law. The validity, performance, enforcement, interpretation, and any other aspect of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, notwithstanding the choice of law provisions of any jurisdiction; provided, however, to the extent an Other Protective Agreement addresses the same subject matter as addressed in this Agreement and such Other Protective Agreement identifies a governing law other than Minnesota law, then the governing law identified in such Other Protective Agreement shall control with respect to such subject matter.
7.8    Venue; Jury Trial Waiver. Company and Service Provider agree that any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Service Provider’s employment or engagement with the Company or the separation of Service Provider’s employment or engagement shall be

commenced and maintained exclusively before any state or federal court having appropriate subject matter jurisdiction located in, or whose judicial district encompasses or serves, Hennepin County, Minnesota; provided, however, to the extent an Other Protective Agreement addresses the same subject matter as addressed in this Agreement and such Other Protective Agreement identifies a venue other than Hennepin County, Minnesota, then the venue identified in such Other Protective Agreement shall control with respect to such subject matter.
