 of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee has the responsibility to identify, screen, and recommend qualified candidates to the Board for nomination as directors. In evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the qualifications listed in the Jack in the Box Inc. Corporate Governance Principles and Practices, which are available at http://investors.jackinthebox.com. The following are some of the factors generally considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee in evaluating director candidates:

| • |     | the appropriate size of the Board; |

| • |     | the perceived needs of the Company for particular skills, background, and business experience; |

| • |     | the skills, background, reputation and experience of the nominees, including whether those qualities add to a diversity of experiences, backgrounds, individuals, viewpoints and perspectives on the Board; |

| • |     | leadership, character and integrity; |

| • |     | independence from Management and from potential conflicts of interest with the Company; |

| • |     | experience with accounting rules and practices; |

| • |     | experience with executive compensation; |

| • |     | applicable regulatory and listing requirements, including independence requirements and legal considerations; |

| • |     | interpersonal and communications skills and the benefits of a constructive working relationship among directors; and |

| • |     | the desire to balance the considerable benefits of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new members. |

The Nominating and Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Retirement Policy. The Board has adopted a retirement policy under which directors may not stand for election or be appointed after age 75. The Board does not believe it should establish term limits which could disadvantage the Company by forcing out directors whose tenure and experience continue to add value to the workings of the Board. Board Tenure Review Policy. The Company has a tenure review policy pursuant to which any director who has served more than 12 years on the Board shall submit to the Committee his or her voluntary offer to resign from the Board. The Committee undertakes a thorough review of any such director’s continued effectiveness and appropriateness for service and recommends to the full Board that it either accept or reject the offer of resignation; in the latter event, the long- tenured director may continue to serve on the Board and must re-submit his or her resignation offer every three years for subsequent review. 25 JACK IN THE BOX INC. |
