substantiation and documentation 

  
 3 








 
requirements as may be specified by the Board from time to time. All Business Expenses shall be reimbursed by the end of the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred. Pursuant to Code

liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 
 4.7. Miscellaneous. 

4.7.1. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for his business association dues and expenses up to $11,000 per
year, with Board approval of any material increase in cost above such amount. Such reimbursement shall occur no later than the end of the calendar year in which the dues and expenses are incurred. 

4.7.2. The Company shall provide the Executive with directors and officers insurance and personal liability protection
described on Exhibit B. 
 4.7.3. The Company acknowledges its obligation to furnish the Executive (which for
purposes of this Sub-Section 4.7.3 includes the Executive’s spouse, family and guests when accompanying him), with transportation during the term hereof that provides him with security to address bona fide business-oriented security
concerns, and shall, at the Company’s expense, make available to the Executive, Company or other private aircraft for business and personal use at his discretion, provided that any such personal use shall be limited to thirty-five
(35) hours per calendar year (the “Yearly Aircraft Hours”). It is recognized that travel by the Executive on Company or other private aircraft is required for security purposes and, as such, all uses by the Executive shall
constitute business use of the aircraft and shall not be subject to reimbursement by the Executive. The Company shall provide additional payments to the Executive on a fully grossed up basis to cover applicable federal, state and local income and
excise taxes, when and to the extent, if any, that such taxes are payable by the Executive, including, without limitation, any tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar tax, with respect to the foregoing aircraft usage. Such
reimbursement for taxes shall be paid to the Executive by the Company within five (5) business days after receipt of acceptable substantiation by the Company; provided, that the tax payments or reimbursements to the Executive shall in all
events be paid no later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the taxes are remitted by the Executive to the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority. For personal use of
the Company or other private aircraft in excess of the Yearly Aircraft Hours, the Executive shall be subject to a usage level and cost to be negotiated with the Board from time to time at rates in accordance with Standard Industrial Fare Level rates
stipulated by 

  
 4 








 
the U.S. Department of Transportation or in the Time Sharing Agreement dated February 25, 2010, as may be amended from time to time, between the Executive and Domino’s Pizza LLC or any
subsequent Time Sharing Agreement between the Executive and Domino’s Pizza LLC. 
 4.7.4. The Company shall
pay or reimburse the Executive for his reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the review of this Agreement and other agreements referred to herein in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000. Such payment or reimbursement
shall occur no later than the last day of the calendar year in which such fees and expense were incurred. 
 5. Termination
of Services and Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 hereof, the Executive’s services hereunder shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement under the circumstances set forth below:

 The Company and the Executive shall take all steps necessary (including with regard to any post-termination services by the
Executive) to ensure that any termination described in this Section 5 constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. 

5.1. Death. In the event of the Executive’s death during the term hereof, the
Executive’s employment hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate, and the Company shall pay to the Executive’s designated beneficiary (or, if no beneficiary has been designated by the Executive, to his estate) within thirty
(30) days following death, any Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date of death, any Bonus for the fiscal year preceding the year in which death occurs that was earned but has not yet been paid and, at the times the Company pays its
executives bonuses in accordance with its general payroll policies, but not to exceed two and one half (2 1/2) months following the calendar year in which earned, an amount equal to that portion of any Bonus earned but unpaid
during the fiscal year of the Executive’s death (pro-rated in accordance with Sub-Section 4.2) . 
 5.2.
Disability. 
 5.2.1. In the event the Executive incurs a disability that prevents him from performing his
duties as President and Chief Executive Officer during the term of the Agreement, the Executive shall continue to receive his Base Salary in accordance with Sub-Section 4.1 and to receive benefit plan coverage in accordance with
Sub-Section 4.5, to the extent permitted by the then-current terms of the applicable benefit plans, until the Executive becomes eligible for commencement of disability income benefits under any disability income plan maintained by the Company
or the Principal Subsidiary, as applicable (a “Disability Plan”), or until the termination of his employment, whichever first 

  
 5 








 
occurs. Within thirty (30) days after commencement of Disability Plan benefits to the Executive, or upon his termination of employment, whichever first occurs, the Company shall pay to the
Executive any Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date Disability Plan benefits commence or employment termination and any Bonus for the fiscal year preceding the year Disability Plan benefits commence or employment termination that was earned
but unpaid. While still employed and covered by the long-term Disability Plan of the Company or the Principal Subsidiary and for a period not to exceed eighteen (18) months or termination as an employee under the long-term Disability Plan,
whichever occurs first, the Company shall pay the Executive, at its regular pay periods, an amount equal to the difference between the Base Salary and the amount of disability income benefits that the Executive receives pursuant to the long-term
Disability Plan with respect to such period. At the times the Company pays its executive bonuses generally, but no later than two and one half (2 1/2) months after the end of the fiscal year to which a Bonus relates, the Company
shall pay the Executive an amount equal to that portion of any Bonus earned but unpaid during the fiscal year of Disability Plan payments or employment termination (pro-rated in accordance with Sub-Section 4.2). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if all or a portion of the disability benefits provided herein are deemed to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation that is not exempt under Code Section 409A or does not qualify under the Code Section 409A disability definition,
such disability amounts shall be aggregated and delayed until the Executive satisfies the disability definition requirements under Code Section 409A, or separates from service with the Company and its Principal Subsidiary, whichever occurs
first, and at such time, the Executive shall receive a lump sum payment equal to the aggregate delayed disability benefit amounts, and any remaining amounts shall be paid in accordance with the regularly scheduled payment dates. 

5.2.2. The intent of Sub-Section 5.2 is to ensure that through the aggregate provision of Base Salary, Bonus and
Disability Plan benefits, the Executive’s cash compensation shall not be diminished during a disability that prevents him from performing his duties as President and Chief Executive Officer during the term of this Agreement. Provided, however,
that in no event shall the Executive receive aggregate cash compensation from Base Salary, Bonus and Disability Plan benefits that exceeds the cash compensation that he otherwise would have received under this Agreement had he not incurred a
disability. Therefore, except as provided in Sub-Section 5.2.1, if the Executive is still employed while receiving disability income payments under any Disability Plan, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any Base Salary under
Sub-Section 4.1 or Bonus payments under Sub-Section 4.2 but shall continue to participate in benefit plans of the Company or the Principal Subsidiary, as applicable, in accordance with Sub-Section 4.5 and the terms of such plans,
until 

  
 6 








 
the termination of his employment and, solely with respect to benefits provided under Sub-Section 4.5.2, thereafter. 

5.2.3. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled through any illness, injury,
accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature so as to be unable to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder as President and Chief Executive Officer, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit
to a medical examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or his duly appointed guardian, if any, has no reasonable objection to determine whether the Executive is so disabled and such determination shall for the purposes
of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue, subject to any requirements under Code Section 409A, if applicable. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit to such medical examination, the Board’s determination of
the issue shall be binding on the Executive. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated due to disability pursuant to this Sub-Section 5.2, the Executive shall be entitled to the vested, outstanding equity grants under the
Company’s Stock Plan and the compensation set forth in Sub-Section 5.4 below, provided that the Executive shall be entitled to no duplicative benefits between Sub-Sections 5.2 and 5.4. 

5.3. By the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause at any time upon
notice to the Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause. The following events or conditions shall constitute “Cause” for termination: (i) the Executive’s willful failure to perform (other than by
reason of disability), or gross negligence in the performance of, his duties to the Company or any of its Affiliates, and the Executive does not cure such failure or negligence within the twenty-five (25) day period immediately following his
receipt of such written allegations from the Board, (ii) the commission of fraud, embezzlement or theft by the Executive with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates; or (iii) the conviction of the Executive of, or plea by the
Executive of nolo contendere to, any felony or any other crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude. Upon the giving of notice of termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligation or
liability to the Executive hereunder, other than for Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination and vested, outstanding equity grants under the Company’s Stock Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Executive shall not be entitled to receive any Bonus amounts which have not been paid prior to the date of termination. 
 5.4.
By the Company other than for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder other than for Cause at any time upon notice to the Executive. In the event of such termination, the Company shall pay the Executive (i)
Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination, plus (ii) twenty-four (24) 

  
 7 








 
monthly severance payments, each in an amount equal to the Executive’s monthly base compensation in effect at the time of such termination (i.e., 1/12th of the Base Salary), plus
(iii) any unpaid portion of any Bonus for the fiscal year preceding the year in which such termination occurs that was earned but has not been paid, plus (iv) at the times the Company pays its executives bonuses generally, but no later
than two and one half (2 1/2) months after the end of the fiscal year in which the bonus is earned, an amount equal to that portion of any Bonus earned but unpaid during the fiscal year of such termination (pro-rated in
accordance with Sub-Section 4.2), plus (v) vested, outstanding equity grants under the Company’s Stock Plan. 
 5.5. By the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason, upon notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Good
Reason. The following shall constitute “Good Reason” for termination by the Executive: (i) failure of the Company to continue the Executive in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) material diminution in the
nature and scope of the Executive’s responsibilities, duties or authority, including without limitation the failure to continue the Executive as a member of the Board of the Company or the Principal Subsidiary; provided, however,
that the failure to so continue the Executive shall not constitute Good Reason if such failure occurs in connection with the sale or other disposition of the corporation as to which he has ceased to have board membership; and provided,
further, that the Company’s failure to continue the Executive’s appointment or election as a director or officer of any of its Affiliates (exclusive of DPLLC) and any diminution of the business of the Company or any of its
Affiliates shall not constitute Good Reason; (iii) material failure of the Company to provide the Executive the Base Salary and benefits (including Company-sponsored fringe benefits) in accordance with the terms of Section 4 hereof; or
(iv) relocation of the Executive’s office to an area outside a fifty (50) mile radius of the Company’s current headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the event of termination in accordance with this Sub-Section 5.5, then
the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts specified in Sub-Section 5.4. 
 5.6.
By the Executive Other than for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time upon ninety (90) days’ notice to the Company. In the event of termination of the Executive pursuant to this
Sub-Section 5.6, the Board may elect to waive the period of notice, or any portion thereof. The Company will pay the Executive his Base Salary for the notice period, except to the extent so waived by the Board. Upon the giving of notice of
termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant to this Sub-Section 5.6, the Company shall have no further obligation or liability to the Executive, other than (i) payment to the Executive of his Base Salary for the
period (or portion of such period) indicated above and (ii) at the times the Company pays its executives bonuses generally, not to exceed two and one-half
(2 1/2) months after the end of the year in which earned, an amount equal to that portion of any Bonus earned but unpaid during the fiscal year of such termination (pro-rated in


  
 8 








 
accordance with Sub-Section 4.2), plus any vested, outstanding equity grants under the Company’s Stock Plan. 

5.7. Post-Agreement Employment. In the event the Executive remains in the employ of the Company or any of its
Affiliates following termination of this Agreement, by the expiration of the term hereof or otherwise, then such employment shall be at will. 
 6. Effect of Termination. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply in the event of termination due to the expiration of the term, pursuant to Section 5 or otherwise. 

6.1. Delayed Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5 above, if the
Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A, determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the Executive’s termination (a “Specified Employee”),
amounts not then exempt from Code Section 409A that otherwise would have been payable and benefits not then exempt from Code Section 409A that otherwise would have been provided under Section 5 during the six (6) month period
following the Executive’s termination, shall instead be paid, with interest at the applicable federal rate, determined under Code Section 7872(t)(2)(A) (“Interest”), and the delayed payments shall be aggregated and paid in
a lump sum (or provided in the case of non-exempt benefits) on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or upon the
Executive’s death, if earlier (the “Delayed Payment Date”). Thereafter the Executive shall receive any remaining payments and benefits as if there had been no earlier delay. 

6.2. Payment in Full. Payment by the Company of any Base Salary, Bonus or other specified amounts that are due the
Executive under the applicable termination provision of Section 5 shall constitute the entire obligation of the Company and its Affiliates to the Executive, except that nothing in this Sub-Section 6.2 is intended or shall be construed to
affect the rights and obligations of the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Executive, on the other, with respect to any option plans, option agreements, subscription agreements, stockholders agreements or other agreements to the
extent said rights or obligations survive termination of employment under the provision of documents relating thereto. 
 6.3. Termination of Benefits. Except for any right of continuation of health coverage at the Executive’s cost to the extent provided by Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA, benefits shall
terminate pursuant to the terms of the applicable benefit plans based on the date of termination of the Executive’s employment without regard to any continuation of Base Salary or other payments to the Executive following termination of his
employment. 

  
 9 








 6.4. Survival of Certain Provisions. Provisions of this Agreement
shall survive any termination if so provided herein or if necessary or desirable fully to accomplish the purpose of other surviving provisions, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Executive under Sections 7 and 8 hereof. The
obligation of the Company to make payments to or on behalf of the Executive under Sub-Sections 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 hereof is expressly conditioned upon the Executive’s continued full performance of obligations under Sections 7 and 8 hereof. The
Executive recognizes that, except as expressly provided in Sub-Sections 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5, no compensation is earned after termination of employment. 
 7. Confidential Information; Intellectual Property. 
 7.1.
Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that the Company and its Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information; that the Executive may develop Confidential Information for the Company or its Affiliates and that the Executive may
learn of Confidential Information during the course of employment. The Executive will comply with the policies and procedures of the Company and its Affiliates for protecting Confidential Information and shall never use or disclose to any Person
(except as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company and its Affiliates) any Confidential Information obtained by the Executive incident to his employment or other association with the
Company or any of its Affiliates. The Executive understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination. 

7.2. Return of Documents. All documents, records, tapes and other media of every kind and description relating to
the business, present or otherwise, of the Company or its Affiliates and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by the Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company
and its Affiliates. The Executive shall safeguard all Documents and shall surrender to the Company at the time his employment terminates, or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify, all Documents then in the
Executive’s possession or control. 
 7.3. Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property. The
Executive shall promptly and fully disclose all Intellectual Property to the Company. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) the Executive’s full right, title and interest in
and to all Intellectual Property. The Executive agrees to execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without limitation the execution and delivery of
instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the Intellectual Property. The
Executive will not charge the Company for time spent in 

  
 10 









 
complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works that the Executive creates shall be considered “work made for hire.” 

8. Restricted Activities. 
 8.1. Agreement not to Compete with the Company. The Executive agrees that during the Executive’s employment hereunder and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of
termination thereof (the “Non-Competition Period”), he will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in any manner in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected as an
officer, employee, partner, director, principal, consultant, agent or otherwise with, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of, any business, venture or activity which competes with, any business, venture or
activity being conducted or actively being planned to be conducted by the Company or being conducted or known by the Executive to be actively being planned to be conducted by a group or division of the Company or by any of its Affiliates, at or
prior to the date (the “Date of Termination”) on which the Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated, in the United States or any other geographic area where such business is being conducted or actively being
planned to be conducted at or prior to the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of any class of equity security of any publicly held corporation shall not, of itself, constitute a
violation of this Section 8. 
 8.2. Agreement Not to Solicit Employees or Customers of the Company.
The Executive agrees that during employment and during the Non-Competition Period he will not, directly or indirectly, (a) recruit or hire or otherwise seek to induce any employees of the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates to
terminate their employment or violate any agreement with or duty to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates, or (b) solicit or encourage any franchisee or vendor of the Company or of any of the Company’s Affiliates to terminate
or diminish its relationship with any of them or to violate any agreement with any of them, or, in the case of a franchisee, to conduct with any Person any business or activity that such franchisee conducts or could conduct with the Company or any
of the Company’s Affiliates. 
 9. Enforcement of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read
and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 hereof. The Executive agrees that said restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper
protection of the Company and its Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. The Executive further acknowledges that, were he to breach any of the
covenants or agreements contained in Sections 7 or 8 hereof, the damage to the Company and its Affiliates could be irreparable. The Executive therefore agrees that the Company and its Affiliates, in addition to any other remedies available to it,
shall be entitled to 

  
 11 









 
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of said covenants or agreements. The parties further agree that in the event that any
provision of Section 7 or 8 hereof shall be determined by any Court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, such
provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
 10. Conflicting
Agreements. The Executive hereby represents and warrants that the execution of this Agreement and the performance of his obligations hereunder will not breach or be in conflict with any other agreement to which or by which the Executive is a
party or is bound and that the Executive is not now subject to any covenants against competition or solicitation or similar covenants or other obligations that would affect the performance of his obligations hereunder. The Executive will not
disclose to or use on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates any proprietary information of a third party without such party’s consent.

all actions (including adopting amendments to this Agreement) as are required to comply with or minimize any potential additional taxes and/or interest charges to the Executive as may be imposed under Code Section 409A with respect to any
payment or benefit due the Executive hereunder (including the delay in some or all payments until the seventh month after the Executive’s termination of employment). 
 14. Miscellaneous. 
 14.1. Assignment. Neither the
Company nor DPLLC nor the Executive may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the Company or DPLLC may

transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, in which event such other Person shall be deemed the “Company” or the “Principal Subsidiary” hereunder, as applicable, for all purposes of this

application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable and the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement
shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 14.3. Waiver; Amendment. No
waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of either party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by either party of any breach
of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and any
expressly authorized representative of the Company and the Principal Subsidiary.
