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

THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE, INC. 10-Q [chef0929201710q.htm]

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
federal court sitting in the County of New York and the Borough of Manhattan in
respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
the provisions of this Amendment and irrevocably agree that all claims in
respect of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in any such court and that service of process therein may be made by

Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such
claim, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court, and any claim that
any such claim, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Amendment shall affect any right that the Agent
or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Amendment against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Amendment in any court referred to in

forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Amendment irrevocably consents to service of process in
the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing
in this Amendment will affect the right of any party to this Amendment to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AMENDMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.

6. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment constitutes the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter

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

THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE, INC. 10-Q [chef0929201710q.htm]

hereof. This Amendment shall become effective on the Second Amendment Date.
Except as provided in Section 4, this Amendment shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear
the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
of this Amendment by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that
reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or
relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic
Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of
which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative
Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior
written consent.

Documents.

Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like
import referring to the Credit Agreement, and (B) each reference in the other
Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof”, “therein” or
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a
reference to the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment.

b) Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and
each of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are
hereby ratified and confirmed.

c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not
constitute a waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any right,
power or remedy of the Agent or Lender under, the Credit Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.

d) Each Loan Party hereby (i) ratifies, confirms and reaffirms its liabilities,
its payment and performance obligations (contingent or otherwise) and its
agreements under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii)
acknowledges, ratifies and confirms that such liabilities, obligations and
agreements constitute valid and existing Obligations under the Credit Agreement,
in each case, to the extent such Loan Party is a party thereto. In addition,
each Loan Party hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms (i) the liens and
security interests granted, created and perfected under the

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

THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE, INC. 10-Q [chef0929201710q.htm]

Collateral Documents and any other Loan Documents and (ii) that each of the
Collateral Documents to which it is a party remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party further agrees (A) that any
reference to “Obligations” contained in any Collateral Documents shall include,
without limitation, the “Obligations” as such term is defined in the Credit
Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) and (B) that the related guarantees and
grants of security contained in such Collateral Documents shall include and
extend to such Obligations. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification
of the Credit Agreement, except as specified under Section 2 hereto, or a course
of dealing with the Agent or any Lender at variance with the Credit Agreement
such as to require further notice by the Agent or any Lender to require strict
compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
in the future, except as expressly set forth herein. This Amendment contains the
entire agreement among the Loan Parties and the Second Amendment Consenting
Lenders contemplated by this Amendment. No Loan Party has any knowledge of any
challenge to the Agent’s or any Lender’s claims arising under the Loan Documents
or the effectiveness of the Loan Documents. The Agent and Lenders reserve all
rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this
Amendment is intended, or shall be construed, to constitute a novation or an
accord and satisfaction of any of the Obligations or to modify, affect or impair
the perfection, priority or continuation of the security interests in, security
titles to or other Liens on any Collateral for the Obligations.

e) Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and
provisions of this Amendment and consents to the amendment of the Credit
Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment.

f) Each Loan Party that is not a Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i)
notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in this Amendment,
such Loan Party is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document to consent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement
effected pursuant to this Amendment and (ii) nothing in the Credit Agreement,
this Amendment or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to require the consent
of such Loan Party to any future amendments to the Credit Agreement.

g) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for all purposes under the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Amendment constitutes a
“Loan Document” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.

8. Expenses. The Borrowers and Holdings agree, jointly and severally, to pay on
demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in
connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment,
including, without limitation, all attorney costs.

9. Severability. Any provision of any this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability

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

THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE, INC. 10-Q [chef0929201710q.htm]

of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in
any other jurisdiction.

10. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference
only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the construction of,
or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

11. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment
and the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the
terms of this Amendment shall govern.
