6.                  
Amendments or Termination.

The Committee has
the right to amend or terminate this Plan in any manner it may deem appropriate in its discretion at any time, including,
but not limited to, the ability to include or exclude any employee or group of employees from participation in the Plan, modify
the award tiers or percentages or modify or waive performance goals; provided, however, that, in the case of any change to the
performance goals, any such change shall be communicated to Participants within 45 days of the effective date of such change; provided
further, that, in the case of termination, any earned Awards under the Plan shall be paid to Participants on a prorated basis on
the date of termination of the Plan. Furthermore, this Plan does not, nor should any Participant imply that it shall, create a
contractual relationship or rights between the Plan, the Company or any Subsidiary thereof or any employee of the Company
or any such Subsidiary.

 

7.                  
No Right to Employment.

action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant or other person any right to continue to be employed by or
perform services for the Company or any Subsidiary, and the right to terminate the employment of or performance of services by
any Participant at any time and for any reason is specifically reserved to the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

8.                  
Nontransferability of Awards.

An Award shall not be transferable
or assignable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

9.                  
Offset of Awards.

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce any amounts otherwise payable to any Participant hereunder
in order to satisfy any liabilities owed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
to the extent Section 409A of the Code is applicable to any Awards under the Plan, such offset shall only be permitted and made
in an amount up to that which is permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

 

10.               
Adjustments Upon Certain Events.

In the event of
any material change in the business assets, liabilities or prospects of the Company, any division or any Subsidiary, the Committee
in its sole discretion and without liability to any person may make such adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable as to
any affected terms of outstanding Awards.

    	 

    	 

    

11.               
Recoupment of Award.

Each Participant agrees
that, if the Company shall so request, such Participant shall return to the Company all or a portion of any Awards paid to such
Participant pursuant to the Plan based upon financial information or performance metrics later found to be materially inaccurate.
The amount to be recovered shall be equal to the excess amount paid out over the amount that would have been paid out had such
financial information or performance metric been fairly stated at the time the payout was made.

 

12.               
No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.

Nothing contained in the
Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements
may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

Miscellaneous Provisions.

The Company is the
sponsor and legal obligor under the Plan and shall make all payments hereunder, other than any payments to be made by any of the
Subsidiaries (in which case payment shall be made by such Subsidiary, as appropriate). The Company shall not be required to establish
any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to ensure the payment of any amounts under the Plan, and
the Participants' rights to the payment hereunder shall be no greater than the rights of the Company's (or Subsidiary's) unsecured
creditors. All expenses involved in administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

14.               
Choice of Law.

The Plan shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed
in the State of Delaware.

(b)              
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Performance Shares earned in accordance with Section

except as otherwise provided herein or determined by the Committee at or after the grant

of the Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control following the Performance Period, all of the Performance Shares
earned under Section 2(a) shall vest and be paid out as of the consummation of the Change in Control.

 

Any shares of
Common Stock, any other securities of the Company and any other property (except for cash dividends) distributed with respect
to the Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as such Shares.

and to what extent the applicable performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A have been met, and provided that all vesting
conditions set forth in Section 2(b) and other restrictive conditions set forth herein have been met, all restrictions
set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan relating to such portion or all, as applicable, of the Performance Shares that the

stock legend, shall, upon request, be delivered to the Grantee or Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement (or, in the case of book-entry shares, such restrictions and restricted stock legend shall be removed
from the confirmation and account statements delivered to the Grantee in book-entry form).

 

4.                 
Delivery of Shares.

 

(a)               
As of the date hereof, certificates representing the Shares may be registered in the name
of the Grantee and held by the Company or transferred to a custodian appointed by the Company for the account of the Grantee subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan and shall remain in the custody of the Company or such custodian until their delivery
to the Grantee or Grantee’s beneficiary or estate as set forth in Sections 4(b) and (c) hereof or their forfeiture
or reversion to the Company as set forth in Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof. The Committee may, in its discretion,
provide that the Grantee’s ownership of Shares prior to the lapse of any transfer restrictions or any other applicable restrictions
shall, in lieu of such certificates, be evidenced by a “book entry” (i.e., a computerized or manual entry) in the
records of the Company or its designated agent in accordance with and subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(b)              
If certificates shall have been issued as permitted in Section 4(a) above, certificates
representing Shares that shall vest pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to the Grantee upon request following the date
on which the vesting has been determined.

 

(c)               
If certificates shall have been issued as permitted in Section 4(a) above, certificates
representing Shares that vest upon the Grantee’s death shall be delivered to the executors or administrators of the Grantee’s
estate as soon as practicable following the receipt of proof of the Grantee’s death satisfactory to the Company.

 

(d)              
Any certificate representing Shares shall bear (and confirmation and account statements sent
to the Grantee with respect to book-entry Shares may bear) a legend in substantially the following form or substance:

 

THE SHARES
OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER
THE SECURITES ACT OF 1933 AND UNDER APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAW OR UNLESS SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT
FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE
AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE AND RESTRICTIONS AGAINST
TRANSFER) CONTAINED IN THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE, INC. 2011 OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN (THE “PLAN”) AND THE PERFORMANCE
RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (THE “AGREEMENT”) BETWEEN THE OWNER OF THE RESTRICTED SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY AND
THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE, INC. (THE “COMPANY”). THE RELEASE OF SUCH SHARES FROM SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL
BE MADE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN AND THE AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
OF THE COMPANY, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE AT THE COMPANY.

 

5.                 
Effect of Lapse of Restrictions. To the extent that any Performance Shares vest hereunder, the Grantee may receive,
hold, sell or otherwise dispose of such Performance Shares free and clear of the restrictions imposed under the Plan and this
Agreement upon compliance with applicable legal requirements.

 

6.                 
No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving the Grantee the right to be retained
in the employ of the Company, and subject to any other written contractual arrangement between the Company and the Grantee, the
Company may at any time dismiss the Grantee from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

7.                 
Adjustments. The Committee may make equitable and proportionate adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and
the criteria (including any performance criteria set forth on Exhibit A) included in, this Award in recognition of unusual
or nonrecurring events (and shall make adjustments for the events described in Section 4.2 of the Plan) affecting the Company
or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles in accordance
with the Plan whenever the Committee determines that such events affect the Shares. Any such adjustments shall be effected in
a manner that precludes the material enlargement of rights and benefits under this Award.

 

8.                 
Amendment to Award. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or
rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate the Award, prospectively or retroactively;
provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially
and adversely affect the rights of the Grantee or any holder or beneficiary of the Award shall not to that extent be effective
without the consent of the Grantee, holder or beneficiary affected.

 

9.                 
Withholding of Taxes. If the Grantee makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Award,
the Award made pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the prompt payment to the Company of any applicable withholding
obligations or withholding taxes by the Grantee (“Withholding Taxes”). Failure by the Grantee to pay such Withholding
Taxes will render this Agreement and the Award granted hereunder null and void ab initio and the Shares granted hereunder
will be immediately cancelled. If the Grantee does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Award,
upon the vesting of any Shares hereunder (or property distributed with respect thereto), the Company may satisfy the required
Withholding Taxes as set forth by Internal Revenue Service guidelines for the employer’s minimum statutory withholding with
respect to the Grantee and issue vested shares to the Grantee without restriction. The Company may satisfy the required Withholding
Taxes by withholding from the Shares included in the Award that number of whole shares necessary to satisfy such taxes as of the
date the restrictions lapse with respect to such Shares based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares, or by requiring the Grantee
to remit to the Company the proper Withholding Taxes in cash.

 

10.             
Plan Governs. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of (or electronic link to) the Plan and agrees to
be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms of this Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the
case of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

 

11.             
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or the Award, or would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed applicable by
the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed
or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such
provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and Award shall remain in
full force and effect.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

12.
