possible to achieve Employee’s intention to waive all of her Claims against the
Releasees.

Employee is not waiving claims filed under any state workers’ compensation or
unemployment law or challenges to the validity of this Agreement under the Older
Workers Benefits Protection Act. Employee is also not waiving any claim for

future.

 

5.Agreement Not to Sue. Employee expressly represents that Employee has not
filed a lawsuit or initiated any other administrative proceedings against the
Releasees, and that Employee has not assigned any claim against the Releasees to
any other person or entity. Employee further promises not to initiate a lawsuit
against the Releasees relating to any Claim arising prior to the date of
execution of this Agreement, except that nothing in this Agreement shall: (i)
bar Employee’s right to file an administrative charge with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC),
the United States Department of Labor (DOL), the National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB), or any other federal, state or local agency; (ii) prevent Employee from
reporting to any government agency any concerns Employee may have regarding the
Company’s practices; or (iii) preclude Employee’s participation in an
investigation by the SEC, EEOC, DOL, NLRB or any other federal, state or local
agency. Should any entity, agency, commission, or person file a charge, action,
complaint or lawsuit against the Releasees based upon any of the above-released
Claims, Employee agrees that this Agreement bars Employee’s right to recover any
relief whatsoever (including monetary relief), except that Employee may receive
an award from the SEC under the federal securities laws.

 

6.No Waiver of Future Age Discrimination Claims. Employee understands that, by
this Agreement, Employee does not waive any rights or claims under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 621 et seq. that may arise
after Employee’s execution of this Agreement.

 

 

7.IRS Issues. As required by law, the Company will issue the appropriate IRS
Form(s) W-2 or 1099 at the appropriate time(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company makes no representations or warranties regarding any tax issues for
any payment provided for in this Agreement, and Employee acknowledges that she
has not relied upon any advice from the Company concerning this tax liability,
if any, for the amounts to be paid in this Agreement. Employee also acknowledges
that she is responsible for any and all tax liability or consequences which may
be assessed arising from the payment and characterization of these proceeds.

 

8.No Future Payments Except Those Described Herein. Except as set forth in this
Agreement, it is expressly agreed and understood by the parties that the Company
does not have, and will not have, any obligation to provide Employee at any time
in the future with any bonus or other payments, benefits, or consideration other
than those set forth in Paragraph 2 above (as further described in Schedule B),
those to which Employee may be entitled under the Company’s benefit plans,
including 401(k) plans, and the restricted stock units and stock options for
which Employee is 100% vested through the Separation Date. Employee expressly
acknowledges that no contributions from the Separation Payments will be made to
a 401(k) plan. For the absence of doubt, through the Separation Date, Employee
is fully vested in 6,367 restricted stock units and 20,008 options to purchase
shares in the Company.

 

9.Return of Confidential Information and Property. On or before the conclusion
of the Reduced Schedule Benefit Period, Employee agrees immediately to return to

read together with this provision to provide the Company the greatest protection

Copyright Act and all other similar laws. Employee further agrees that the
Company shall have exclusive ownership of any and all right, title and interest

preserve the Company’s proprietary rights in copyrights, trademarks, service
marks, patents, processes and trade secrets, including at the Company’s request,
to confirm such assignment in writing.

narrow or otherwise limit Employee’s works for hire obligations under any
Protective Agreement, Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement, or other
agreement entered into with the Company. Any such prior agreements relating to
works-for-hire will remain in full force and effect and will be read together

entered into between Employee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates), if any are applicable, continue in full force and effect. The

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

17.Modifications. There may be no modification of this Agreement except in
writing signed by both parties. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are
found null, void, or inoperative, for any reason, the remaining provisions will
remain in full force and effect.

 

18.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, personal or legal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

19.Waiver. If a party, by its actions or omissions, waives or is adjudged to
have waived any breach of this Agreement, any such waiver shall not operate as a
waiver of any other subsequent breach of this Agreement.

 

20.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or shall be declared
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and
effect.

 

21.Choice of Law; Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Except for the
arbitration agreement set forth in this paragraph, which is governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., this Agreement and the rights and
obligations hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in all
respects in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard
to conflict of law principles. Employee and the Company understand and agree
that, except as to the matters discussed in Paragraph 5, in the event there is
any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to Employee’s general release of
claims set forth in Paragraph 3, Employee’s employment and Employee’s separation
of employment with the Company, and/or this Agreement, including, without
limitation, a dispute about the validity, enforceability or coverage of the
Agreement, the arbitrability of a claim, this paragraph, and the release or the
assertion of a claim covered by the release, all such disputes or claims will be
resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration. The parties
understand that, by this paragraph, they are waiving any right they have to a
jury trial. Employee understands that her claim(s) will be heard by an
arbitrator, not a judge. Employee also agrees to waive her right to asset class
or collective action claims in arbitration; that is, Employee must bring any
claims in Employee’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member
in any purported class or representative proceeding. This binding arbitration
provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and not
intended to cover claims that cannot by federal law be required to be
arbitrated. The American Arbitration Association’s Employment Arbitration Rules
(“AAA Employment Rules”) will govern any arbitration proceeding initiated under
this paragraph. The AAA Employment Rules, which include an explanation of the
process for commencing an arbitration and other rules governing an arbitration,
may be found at the AAA’s web site: www.adr.org. The Company agrees to pay the
AAA administrative fees, as well as the Arbitrator’s fees and expenses. Employee
understands and agrees that she is responsible to pay her own legal fees and
expenses associated with any arbitration proceeding, subject to the Arbitrator’s
authority to award attorney fees, costs or other remedies in accordance with
applicable law. A party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for
temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable
controversy, but only upon the ground that the award to which that party may be
entitled may be rendered ineffectual without such provisional relief.
Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this paragraph or the AAA
Employment Rules, any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is
invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only
by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. Subject to this
paragraph, any action arising out of this Agreement which requires a decision
from a court of competent jurisdiction will be brought in the federal or state
courts of Cook County, Illinois and Employee consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts for these purposes. By initialing, Employee
acknowledges that Employee has read and understands this paragraph.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

22.Time to Consider. Employee acknowledges that Employee has been provided with
at least twenty-one (21) calendar days (the “Review Period”) to consider the
offer of this Agreement prior to entering into it. Any modifications made to
this Agreement, whether material or not, shall not extend or re-start the Review
Period. Employee agrees to notify the Company of acceptance of this Agreement by
delivering a signed copy of the Agreement to the Company, via mail, addressed to
the attention of Kelley Berlin, SVP, People, 111 W. Washington Street, Suite
2100, Chicago, IL 60601, or via electronic mail to kberlin@grubhub.com, within
the Review Period (with an original mailed or provided in person to the HR
Business Partner at the address above). Employee understands that the entire
Review Period may be taken to consider this Agreement. Employee may return this
Agreement in less than the full Review Period. By signing and returning this
Agreement, Employee acknowledges that the Review Period afforded Employee was a
reasonable period of time to consider fully each and every term of this
Agreement, including the general release set forth in Paragraph 3.

 

23.Revocation. Employee acknowledges, if Employee chooses to do so, that
Employee shall have seven (7) calendar days after signing this Agreement to
revoke this Agreement only as it pertains to Employee’s federal age
discrimination claim(s). If Employee elects to revoke this Agreement only as it
pertains to any federal age discrimination claim(s), written notice of such
revocation must be delivered to Kelley Berlin at the Company at the addresses
above in such a manner that it is actually received by her within the seven (7)
calendar-day period. If Employee chooses to revoke this Agreement only as it
pertains to Employee’s federal age discrimination claim(s), Employee agrees and
acknowledges that (i) the Reduced Schedule Benefit Period will immediately
terminate upon the Company’s receipt of such revocation; and (ii) the Separation
Date will be modified to take effect on the date the Company receives such
revocation. Employee acknowledges any Reduced Schedule Benefits received prior
to such revocation is sufficient consideration to support the general release of
all other claims detailed in Paragraph 3.

 

24.Advice of Counsel. Employee is advised to consult with legal counsel of
Employee’s choosing, at Employee’s own expense, regarding the meaning and
binding effect of this Agreement prior to executing it.

 

25.Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and each signed
counterpart shall have the same full force and effect as if it were fully
executed by all parties.

 

EMPLOYEE EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EMPLOYEE HAS READ THE FOREGOING, THAT
EMPLOYEE HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO REVIEW IT WITH AN ATTORNEY OF EMPLOYEE’S
CHOOSING, THAT EMPLOYEE UNDERSTANDS THE AGREEMENT’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND
THAT EMPLOYEE INTENDS TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY IT.

after first obtaining that individual’s agreement to keep the information
confidential and not disclose it to others, unless pursuant to a valid subpoena.

Company shall have the right to seek an injunction and/or damages.

9.Works for Hire. Employee agrees that the Company owns all tangible and
intangible work products originated or developed by Employee in connection with
Employee’s employment, that are within the scope of the Company’s business
operations, or that relate to any of the Company’s work or projects, even if
developed outside the Company’s premises as works-made- for-hire under the
Copyright Act and all other similar laws. Employee further agrees that the
Company shall have exclusive ownership of any and all right, title and interest
in (a) all copyrights, trademarks, service mark rights, patents or processes
associated with any work, mark, invention or process produced during the course
of Employee’s employment that was originated or developed in connection with
such employment with the Company or any related party; and (b) any such
proprietary rights with respect to any invention or process originated or such
proprietary rights with respect to any invention or process originated or
developed in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company or any
related party reduced to practice following the termination of Employee’s
employment, if the invention or process existed in an intangible form prior to
such termination, even if it was not workable at that time. Employee agrees to
execute any and all documents necessary to protect and preserve the Company’s
proprietary rights in copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, processes
and trade secrets, including at the Company’s request, to confirm such
assignment in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, this this paragraph does not
in any way amend, narrow or otherwise limit Employee’s works for hire
obligations under any Protective Agreement, Confidentiality and Non-Compete
Agreement, or other agreement entered into with the Company. Any such prior
agreements relating to works for hire will remain in full force and effect and
will be read together with this provision to provide the Company the greatest
ownership and protection allowed by law.

 

10.Non-Disparagement. As a material condition of this Amendment, (1) Employee
agrees not to slander or defame and, except as to the matters described in
Paragraph 5, otherwise disparage the Company, the Releasees, or any officer,
director, employee, or agent thereof; and (2) the Company’s CEO agrees not to
slander or defame and, except as to the matters described in Paragraph 5,
otherwise disparage Employee.

 

11.References. Employees agrees to direct all third party inquiries regarding
his/her employment at the Company, including but not limited to all inquiries
from prospective employers, to the Company’s People Team, who shall, consistent
with Company policy, advise such inquiring parties of the following information:
dates of employment with the Company, positions held during Employee’s
employment with the Company and, if requested by the party making the inquiry
(except where applicable law would preclude it), Employee’s final base salary
with the Company.

 

12.Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with the Original Release,
contains the entire agreement and understanding of the Company and Employee
concerning the subject matter hereof and this Amendment supersedes and replaces
all prior negotiations, proposed agreements, agreements or representations
whether written or oral concerning the subject matter hereof, except that the
parties acknowledge that the Equity Plan; any award agreements granted under the
Equity Plan; the Protective Agreement or Confidentiality and Non-Compete
Agreement; the Intellectual Property and Proprietary Information Agreement; and
any other restrictive covenants or other agreement entered into between Employee
and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates), if any are
applicable, continue in full force and effect. The parties agree and acknowledge
that neither the Company nor Employee, including any agent or attorney of
either, has made any representation, guarantee or promise whatsoever not
contained in this Amendment to induce the other to execute this Amendment, and
neither party is relying on any representations, guarantees, or promises not
contained in this Amendment in entering into this Amendment.

 

13.Modifications. There may be no modification of this Amendment except in
writing signed by both parties. If any of the provisions of this Amendment are
found null, void, or inoperative, for any reason, the remaining provisions will
remain in full force and effect.

 

14.Successors and Assigns. This Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, personal or legal representatives, successors and assigns.

15.Waiver. If a party, by its actions or omissions, waives or is adjudged to
have waived any breach of this Amendment, any such waiver shall not operate as a
waiver of any other subsequent breach of this Amendment.

 

16.Severability. If any provision of this Amendment is or shall be declared
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and
effect.

 

17.Choice of Law; Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Except for the
arbitration agreement set forth in this paragraph, which is governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., this Amendment and the rights and
obligations hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in all
respects in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard
to conflict of law principles. Employee and the Company understand and agree
that, except as to the matters discussed in Paragraph 5, in the event there is
any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to Employee’s general release of
claims set forth in Paragraph 3, Employee’s employment and Employee’s separation
of employment with the Company, and/or this Amendment, including, without
limitation, a dispute about the validity, enforceability or coverage of the
Amendment, the arbitrability of a claim, this paragraph, and the release or the
assertion of a claim covered by the release, all such disputes or claims will be
resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration. The parties
understand that, by this paragraph, they are waiving any right they have to a
jury trial. Employee understands that her claim(s) will be heard by an
arbitrator, not a judge. Employee also agrees to waive her right to asset class
or collective action claims in arbitration; that is, Employee must bring any
claims in Employee’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member
in any purported class or representative proceeding. This binding arbitration
provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and not
intended to cover claims that cannot by federal law be required to be
arbitrated. The American Arbitration Association’s Employment Arbitration Rules
(“AAA Employment Rules”) will govern any arbitration proceeding initiated under
this paragraph. The AAA Employment Rules, which include an explanation of the
process for commencing an arbitration and other rules governing an arbitration,
may be found at the AAA’s web site: www.adr.org. The Company agrees to pay the
AAA administrative fees, as well as the Arbitrator’s fees and expenses. Employee
understands and agrees that she is responsible to pay her own legal fees and
expenses associated with any arbitration proceeding, subject to the Arbitrator’s
authority to award attorney fees, costs or other remedies in accordance with
applicable law. A party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for
temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in connection with an arbitrable
controversy, but only upon the ground that the award to which that party may be
entitled may be rendered ineffectual without such provisional relief.
Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this paragraph or the AAA
Employment Rules, any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is
invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only
by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. Subject to this
paragraph, any action arising out of this Amendment which requires a decision
from a court of competent jurisdiction will be brought in the federal or state
courts of Cook County, Illinois and Employee consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts for these purposes. By initialing, Employee
acknowledges that Employee has read and understands this paragraph.

 

18.Time to Consider. Employee acknowledges that Employee has been provided with
at least twenty-one (21) calendar days (the “Review Period”) to consider the
offer of this Amendment prior to entering into it. Any modifications made to
this Amendment, whether material or not, shall not extend or re-start the Review
Period. Employee agrees to notify the Company of acceptance of this Amendment
bydelivering a signed copy of the Amendment to the Company, via mail, addressed
to the attention of Kelley Berlin, SVP, People, 111 W Washington Street, Suite
2100, Chicago, IL 60601, or via electronic mail to kberlin@grubhub.com, within
the Review Period (with an original mailed or provided in person to the HR
Business Partner at the address above). Employee understands that the entire
Review Period may be taken to consider this Amendment. Employee may return this
Amendment in less than the full Review Period. By signing and returning this
Amendment, Employee acknowledges that the Review Period afforded Employee was a
reasonable period of time to consider fully each and every term of this
Amendment, including the general release set forth herein.

19.Revocation. Employee acknowledges, if Employee chooses to do so, that
Employee shall have seven (7) calendar days after signing this Amendment to
revoke this Amendment only as it pertains to Employee’s federal age
discrimination claim(s). If Employee elects to revoke this Amendment only as it
pertains to any federal age discrimination claim(s), written notice of such
revocation must be delivered to Kelley Berlin at the Company at the addresses
above in such a manner that it is actually received by her within the seven (7)
calendar- day period. If Employee chooses to revoke this Amendment only as it
pertains to Employee’s federal age discrimination claim(s), Employee agrees and
acknowledges that she will not receive the Separation Payment. Employee
acknowledges any Reduced Schedule Benefits received prior to such revocation are
sufficient consideration to support the general release of all other claims
detailed in the Original Release.

 

20.Advice of Counsel. Employee is advised to consult with legal counsel of
Employee’s choosing, at Employee’s own expense, regarding the meaning and
binding effect of this Amendment prior to executing it.

 

21.Counterparts. This Amendment may be signed in counterparts and each signed
counterpart shall have the same full force and effect as if it were fully
executed by all parties.

 

EMPLOYEE EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EMPLOYEE HAS READ THE FOREGOING, THAT
EMPLOYEE HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO REVIEW IT WITH AN ATTORNEY OF EMPLOYEE’S
CHOOSING, THAT EMPLOYEE UNDERSTANDS THE AMENDMENTS TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THAT
EMPLOYEE INTENDS TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY IT.

 

IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment.
