the Plan, for a total of 14,500,000 available Shares, subject to adjustment as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(e), (i) no Participant may receive Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

          (b) If, after the effective date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award other than a Substitute Award, or to which such an Award relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award otherwise terminates
without the delivery of Shares or of other consideration, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be, or shall become, available for issuance under the
Plan, except as otherwise provided in Section 5(f). 

          (c) In the event that any Option or other Award granted hereunder (other than a Substitute Award) is exercised through the delivery of Shares, or in the event that withholding tax liabilities arising
from such Option or Award are satisfied by the withholding of Shares by the Company, the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of Shares so surrendered or withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Section 5(c) will not apply to any such surrender or withholding of Shares occurring on or after November 21, 2006. 

          (d) Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares.

          (e) In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate
transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the value of issued and outstanding Awards and to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, including the aggregate
and individual limits specified in Section 5(a), (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant, purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award or, if deemed

a whole number. 

          (f) Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall not reduce the number of Shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan. 

          (g) Upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Rights, the greater of (i) the number of shares subject to the Stock Appreciation Rights so exercised, and (ii) the number of Shares, if any, that are
issued in connection with such exercise, shall be deducted from the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. 

          Section 6. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. 

          The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions, in either case
not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine: 

          (a) The exercise price per Share under
    an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee; provided,
  however, that, except in the case of Substitute Awards, such exercise price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right. The exercise price of
  a Substitute Award may be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant to the extent necessary for the value of Substitute Award to be substantially equivalent to the value of the award with respect to which the Substitute Award
  is issued, as determined by the Committee. 

          (b) The term of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee but shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant thereof. 

          (c) The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part, and, with respect to Options, the method or methods by which,
and the form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price, in which, payment of the exercise
price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made. 

          (d) The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, and any regulations
promulgated thereunder.

          Section 7. Restricted Stock And Restricted Stock Units. 

          (a) The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Participants. 

          (b) Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share
of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem appropriate;
provided, that if the vesting conditions applicable to an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to an employee of the Company relate exclusively to the passage of time and continued employment, such time period shall consist of not
less than thirty-six (36) months. In the event the vesting of any Award of Restricted Stock is subject to the achievement of performance goals, the performance period relating to such Award shall be at least twelve (12) months. Any Award of
Restricted Stock Units for which vesting is conditioned upon the achievement of performance goals shall be considered an award of Performance Units under Section 8. 

          (c) Any share of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a
stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend
referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. 

          (d) Upon a Participant’s (i) retirement, death, disability or involuntary termination without Cause, any and all remaining restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units granted to the Participant shall lapse, and (ii) voluntary termination or involuntary termination with Cause, all Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant shall be forfeited as of the date of
termination. 

          Section 8. Performance Units. 

          (a) The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Performance Units to Participants. 

          (b) Subject to the terms of the Plan, a Performance Unit granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, Shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Stock), other securities,
other Awards, or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof rights valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or exercisable by, the holder of the Performance Unit, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of such
performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any
Performance Unit granted and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Unit shall be determined by the Committee; provided, that the performance period relating to any Award of Performance Units shall be at least
twelve (12) months. 

          (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) in the event of a Participant’s retirement prior to the expiration of any performance period applicable to a

Performance Unit granted to the Participant, the Participant shall be entitled to receive following the expiration of such performance period, a pro-rata portion of any amounts otherwise payable with respect to, or a pro-rata
right to exercise, the Performance Unit, (ii) in the event of a Participant’s death, disability or involuntary termination without Cause prior to the expiration of any performance period applicable to a Performance Unit granted to the
Participant, the Participant shall receive upon such termination a partial payment with respect to, or a partial right to exercise, such Performance Unit, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, and (iii) upon a Participant’s
voluntary termination or involuntary termination with Cause, all Performance Units held by the Participant shall be canceled as of the date of termination. 

          Section 9. Other Stock-Based Awards. 

          The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Participants such other Awards (including, without limitation, rights to dividends and dividend equivalents) that are denominated or payable in, valued
in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan (provided that no
rights to dividends and dividend equivalents shall be granted in tandem with an Award of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights). Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares or other
securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 9 shall be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other
securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine, the value of which consideration, as established by the Committee, shall, except in the case of Substitute Awards, not be less than the Fair
Market Value of such Shares or other securities as of the date such purchase right is granted. Additional terms applicable to certain Other Stock-Based Awards are set forth in Section 10. 

Section 10. Effect Of Termination On Certain Awards. 

          Except as otherwise provided by the Committee at the time an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is granted or in any amendment thereto, if a Participant ceases to be employed by, or serve as a
non-employee director of, the Company or any Affiliate, then: 

          (a) if termination is for Cause, all Options
    and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant shall be canceled as
  of the date of termination; 

          (b) if termination is voluntary or involuntary
      without Cause, the Participant may exercise each Option or Stock Appreciation
      Right held by the Participant within three months after such termination
      (but not after the expiration date of such Award) to the extent such Award
      was exercisable pursuant to its terms at the date of termination; provided, however, if the Participant should die within three months after such termination, each Option or Stock Appreciation
    Right held by the Participant may be exercised by the Participant’s estate, or by any person who acquires the right to exercise by reason of the Participant’s death, at any time within a period of one year after death (but not after the
    expiration date of the Award) to the extent such Award was exercisable pursuant to its terms at the date of termination; 

          (c) if termination is (i) by reason of
    retirement at a time when the Participant is entitled to the current receipt
    of benefits under any retirement plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliate
    (or alternatively, in the case of a non-employee director, at a time when
    the Participant has served for five full years or more and has attained the
    age of sixty), or (ii) by reason of 

- 8 - 

disability, each Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by the Participant shall, at the date or retirement or disability, become exercisable to the extent of the total number of shares subject to the Option or Stock Appreciation
Right, irrespective of the extent to which such Award would otherwise have been exercisable pursuant to the terms of the Award at the date of retirement or disability, and shall otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms;

          (d) if termination is by reason of the
    death of the Participant, each Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by
    the Participant may be exercised by the Participant’s estate, or by any person who acquires the right to exercise such Award by
  reason of the Participant’s death, to the extent of the total number of shares subject to the Award, irrespective of the extent to which such Award would have otherwise been exercisable pursuant to the terms of the Award at the date of death,
  and such Award shall otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 

          Section 11. General Provisions Applicable To Awards. 

          (a) Awards shall be granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash consideration as may be required by applicable law.

          (b) Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Award. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be
granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

          (c) Subject to the terms of the Plan, payments or transfers to be made by the Company upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine
including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with
rules and procedures established by the Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of dividend
equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company extend any loan to any Participant in connection with the exercise of an Award; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall prohibit the Company from maintaining or establishing any broker-assisted cashless exercise program.

          (d)  Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, no Award and no right under any Award shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. In no event may an Award be transferred by a Participant for value. Each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible
under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Award which has been fully exercised, earned or paid, as the case may be, and shall not preclude forfeiture of
an Award in accordance with the terms thereof.

          (e) All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any applicable Federal or
state securities laws, and

the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

          (f) Every Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) to a member of the Executive Group shall, if the Committee intends that such Award should constitute “qualified
performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, include a pre-established formula, such that payment, retention or vesting of the Award is subject to the achievement during a performance period or periods, as
determined by the Committee, of a level or levels, as determined by the Committee, of one or more of the following performance measures: (i) Return on Net Assets, (ii) Revenue Growth, (iii) Return on Common Equity, (iv) Total Shareholder Return, (v)
Earnings Per Share, (vi) Net Revenue Per Employee (vii) Market Share, (viii) Return on Invested Capital, or (ix) Net Income. For any Award subject to any such pre-established formula, no more than 150,000 Shares can be paid in satisfaction of such
Award to any Participant, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(e). Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall not be authorized to increase the amount payable under any Award to which this Section 11(f)
applies upon attainment of such pre-established formula.

          (g) Unless specifically provided to the contrary in any Award Agreement, upon a Change in Control, all Awards shall become fully vested and exercisable, and any restrictions applicable to any Award
shall automatically lapse.

          (h) Non-employee Directors of the Company shall be entitled to defer the receipt of any Shares that may become issuable to them under any Award in accordance with the terms of the 1996 Directors’
Deferral Plan, as the same may be hereinafter amended, or any other plan that may be established by the Company that provides for the deferred receipt of such Shares. 

          (i) Employees of the Company shall be entitled to defer the receipt of any Shares that may become issuable to them under any Award in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, as
the same may be hereinafter amended, or any other plan that may be established by the Company that provides for the deferred receipt of such Shares. 

          Section 12. Amendments And Termination.

          (a) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan, the Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the
Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without (i) shareholder approval (A)
if the effect thereof is to increase the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan or to expand the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan or (B) if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory
requirement for which or with which the Board deems it necessary or desirable to qualify or comply or (ii) the consent of the affected Participant, if such action would adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as may be necessary to enable the Plan to achieve its stated purposes in any jurisdiction outside the United States in a tax-efficient manner and in
compliance with local rules and regulations.

          (b) The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or 

- 10 - 

retroactively, without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an Award, provided, however, that no such action shall impair the rights of any
affected Participant or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan; and provided further that, except as provided in Section 5(e), no such action shall reduce
the exercise price, grant price or purchase price of any Award established at the time of grant thereof and provided further, that the Committee’s authority under this Section 12(b) is
limited in the case of Awards subject to Section 11(f), as set forth in Section 11(f). In no event shall an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right be cancelled and replaced with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower exercise
price, without approval of the Company’s shareholders, except as provided in Section 5(e). 

          (c) Except as noted in Section 11(f), the Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of events (including,
without limitation, the events described in Section 5(e)) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such
adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

          (d) Any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in connection with a Business Combination, the Committee may cause any Award granted hereunder to be canceled in
consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such canceled Award equal in value to the Fair Market Value of such canceled Award.

          (e) The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into
effect.

          Section 13. Miscellaneous.  

          (a) No employee, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees, Participants, or holders
or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

          (b) The Committee may delegate to one or more officers or managers of the Company, or a committee of such officers or managers, the authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee
shall determine, to grant Awards to, or to cancel, modify, waive rights with respect to, alter, discontinue, suspend or terminate Awards held by, employees who are not officers or directors of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided, however, that any delegation to management shall conform with the requirements of the corporate law of New Jersey and with the requirements, if
any, of the New York Stock Exchange, in either case as in effect from time to time.

          (c) The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a
Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to take such other action
(including, without limitation, providing for elective payment of such amounts in cash, Shares, other securities, other 

- 11 - 

Awards or other property by the Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

          (d) 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.

          (e) The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at
any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or in any other agreement binding the parties. The receipt of any Award
under the Plan is not intended to confer any rights on the receiving Participant except as set forth in such Award.

          (f) If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any
Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so 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 any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

          (g) Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To
the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

          (h) No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred
in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

          Section 14. Effective Date Of Plan.

          The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by the stockholders of the Company.

          Section 15. Term Of The Plan.

          No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award
theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and the authority of the Board
to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such date.

Exhibit 10.16.1

JACK IN THE BOX INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD

UNDER THE 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

     THIS
AGREEMENT is made as of ___, 20___ between Jack in the Box Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and «FULL_NAME» (the “Awardee”).

RECITALS

     The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company which
administers the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), has granted to the Awardee as of
the date of this Agreement, this award of Restricted Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants set forth herein and other good
and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD. The Company hereby issues, and the Awardee hereby acquires,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, («NUMBER_OF_SHARES») (the “Award”) of shares
of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”).

     2. VESTING. All shares subject to the Award shall initially be unvested. Except as may be
provided in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, or as provided in Section 13
(Terminating Transactions) of this Agreement, shares of Common Stock issued under this Award shall
become vested as follows:

     One
third of the shares subject to the Award on                     

     One
third of the shares subject to the Award on                     

     One third of the shares subject to the Award on                     

Vesting shall be contingent on the Awardee’s continued employment with the Company or its parent or
a subsidiary on the vesting date. Upon the Awardee’s termination of employment, that portion of
the Award which shall be considered vested as of such termination date, shall be determined in
accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, no
additional shares shall become vested following the Awardee’s termination of employment. Shares
that are not vested (“Unvested Shares”) shall be subject to the reacquisition rights set forth in
Section 6.

     3. CONSIDERATION. The Award has been granted in consideration of the Awardee’s acceptance of
employment with the Company, continued employment with the Company and acceptance by the Awardee of
the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

-1-

 

     4. CERTIFICATE REGISTRATION. The certificate for the shares of Common Stock underlying this
Award shall be registered in the name of the Awardee (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).

     5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

          (a) Termination for Cause. If the Awardee is terminated for cause (as determined by
the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in its sole discretion) prior to any vesting date,
then all of the unvested shares of Common Stock underlying this Award will be automatically
forfeited by the Awardee concurrently with such termination of employment, unless otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors.

          (b) Involuntary Termination or Voluntary Termination. If the Awardee ceases to be
employed by the Company, its parent or a subsidiary because of Awardee’s involuntary termination
(other than for cause as described above) or voluntary termination, before the Awardee is eligible
to retire under a Company sponsored retirement plan, then any unvested portion of the Award will be
automatically forfeited by the Awardee concurrently with such termination of employment, unless
otherwise determined by the Board.

          (c) Retirement. If Awardee is eligible to retire under a Company sponsored retirement
plan and ceases to be employed by the Company, its parent or a subsidiary for any reason other than
(a) termination for cause, as determined by the Board of Directors, or, (b) the Awardee’s Death or
Total and Permanent Disability (as defined below), then at the time that Awardee ceases to be an
employee, this Award shall be deemed vested only as to those shares, if any, (A) with respect to
which the Awardee has vested as of the date of such cessation of employment and (B) for each twelve
full months during which Awardee was in the employ of the Company or a subsidiary an additional 5%
of the shares awarded, (total awarded shares not to exceed original grant amount), of this Award.
It shall be the responsibility of the Awardee to notify the Company of any changes in address.

          (d) Disability. If Awardee shall suffer Total and Permanent Disability while in the
employment of the Company, its parent or a subsidiary, then this Award will become 100% vested on
such date the Awardee terminates employment on account of such Total and Permanent Disability. As
used in this Agreement “Total and Permanent Disability” is defined as the inability to perform the
duties of your occupation, or any occupation for which you are qualified or may reasonably become
qualified by education, training or experience, because of an illness or injury unavoidable cause
for a period of at least six (6) months, provided the inability is determined or expected to be
permanent by a physician selected by the Company.

          (e) Death. If Awardee dies while in the employment of the Company, its parent or a
subsidiary, and the Awardee had not been determined to have suffered Total and Permanent Disability
within ninety (90) days of such Awardee’s death, then

-2-

 

this Award will become 100% vested on the date the Awardee terminates employment on account of
death. The Award shall be considered transferred to the person or persons (the “Heir”) to whom
Awardee’s rights under the Award passed by will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution, as to all shares of Common Stock granted under this Award. It shall be the
responsibility of the Heir to notify the Company of any changes in address.

     6. COMPANY REACQUISITION RIGHT. In the event that (a) the Awardee’s employment terminates for
any reason or no reason, with or without cause, or (b) the Awardee, the Awardee’s legal
representative, or other holder of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award, attempts to
sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any Unvested Shares, the Company shall
automatically reacquire the Unvested Shares, and the Awardee shall not be entitled to any payment
therefor (the “Company Reacquisition Right”).

          To ensure that shares subject to the Company Reacquisition Right will be available for
reacquisition, the Awardee agrees to deliver to and deposit with an escrow agent designated by the
Company the certificate evidencing the shares, together with an Assignment Separate from
Certificate with respect to such certificate duly endorsed (with date and number of shares blank)
in the form attached to this Agreement, to be held by the agent under the terms and conditions of
the Joint Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement
(the “Escrow”). The Company
shall bear the expenses of the Escrow.

          As soon as practicable after the expiration of the Company’s Reacquisition Right, but not more
frequently than twice each calendar year, the Company shall give to the escrow agent a written
notice directing the escrow agent to deliver such shares to the Awardee. As soon as practicable
after receipt of such notice, the escrow agent shall deliver to the Awardee the shares specified in
such notice, and the Escrow shall terminate with respect to such shares.

     7. TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. At the time this Agreement is executed, or at any time as requested
by the Company, the Awardee hereby authorizes withholding from any amounts payable to the Awardee,
including specifically any payroll check, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any
sums required to satisfy the income taxes, FICA, state disability insurance or other similar
payroll and withholding taxes arising from the receipt of shares of Common Stock subject to this
Award, including without limitation, obligations arising upon the (a) transfer of shares of Common
Stock to the Awardee, (b) the vesting of any shares subject to this Award, or (c) the filing of an
election to recognize tax liability. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver the shares
until the tax withholding obligations of the Company have been satisfied by the Awardee.

          If, the Company determines that it is required to withhold taxes on account of any present or
future tax required as a result of this Award, the Company may also require the Awardee to pay the
amount of such tax by a cashier’s or certified bank check,

-3-

 

or, at the sole discretion of the Company, by either (a) personal check, payable to the order of
Jack in the Box Inc., in advance of and as a condition to the delivery of the shares of Common
Stock, or (b) to deduct from the shares of Common Stock to be distributed that number of whole
shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to all or any part of the federal, state,
local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such
distribution.

          The Awardee understands that Section 83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income the difference
between the amount paid for the shares, if anything, and the Fair Market Value of the shares as of
the date on which the shares are “substantially vested,” within the meaning of Section 83. In this
context, “substantially vested” means that the right of the Company to reacquire the shares
pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right has lapsed. The Awardee understands that he or she may
elect to have his or her taxable income determined at the time he or she acquires the shares rather
than when and as the Company Reacquisition Right lapses by filing an election under Section 83(b)
of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service no later than thirty (30) days after the date of
acquisition of the shares. The Awardee understands that failure to make a timely filing under
Section 83(b) will result in his or her recognition of ordinary income, as the Company
Reacquisition Right lapses, on the difference between the purchase price, if anything, and the Fair
Market Value of the shares at the time such restrictions lapse. The Awardee further understands,
however, that if shares with respect to which an election under Section 83(b) has been made are
forfeited to the Company pursuant to its Company Reacquisition Right, such forfeiture will be
treated as a sale on which there is realized a loss equal to the excess (if any) of the amount paid
(if any) by the Awardee for the forfeited shares over the amount realized (if any) upon their
forfeiture. If the Awardee has paid nothing for the forfeited shares and has received no payment
upon their forfeiture, the Awardee understands that he or she will be unable to recognize any loss
on the forfeiture of the shares even though the Awardee incurred a tax liability by making an
election under Section 83(b).

          The Awardee understands that he or she should consult with his or her tax advisor regarding
the advisability of filing with the Internal Revenue Service an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code, which must be filed no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the acquisition of the
shares pursuant to this Agreement. Failure to file an election under Section 83(b), if
appropriate, may result in adverse tax consequences to the Awardee. The Awardee acknowledges that
he or she has been advised to consult with a tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to the
Awardee of the acquisition of shares hereunder. ANY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) THE AWARDEE
WISHES TO MAKE MUST BE FILED NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE AWARDEE ACQUIRES THE
SHARES. THIS TIME PERIOD CANNOT BE EXTENDED. THE AWARDEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TIMELY FILING OF A
SECTION 83(b) ELECTION IS THE AWARDEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF THE AWARDEE REQUESTS THE
COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO FILE SUCH ELECTION ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.

-4-

 

          The Awardee will notify the Company in writing if the Awardee files an election pursuant to
Section 83(b) of the Code. The Company intends, in the event it does not receive from the Awardee
evidence of such filing, to claim a tax deduction for any amount which would otherwise be taxable
to the Awardee in the absence of such an election.

     8. LEGALITY. The Company is not required to issue any shares of Common Stock subject to this
Award until all applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the
California Department of Corporations or other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction with respect
to such issuance, and any exchanges upon which the Common Stock may be listed, shall have been
fully complied with.

          If the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award are being distributed subject to
restrictions or if the rules and interpretations of the SEC so require, such shares may be issued
only if Awardee represents and warrants in writing to the Company that the shares are being
acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and any certificates
issued upon distribution of the shares shall bear appropriate legends setting forth the
restrictions on transfer of such shares. Such legends may not be removed until the Company so
requests, based on the opinion of the Company’s Counsel that the restrictions are no longer
applicable.

     9. ADJUSTMENTS IN STOCK. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, if the outstanding shares of
the Company of the class subject to this Award are increased or decreased, or are changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of one or more
reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and the
like, appropriate adjustments, to be conclusively determined by the Committee, shall be made in the
number and/or type of shares or securities subject to this Award consistent with any and all
changes stipulated above, and any fractional shares resulting from adjustments will be rounded down
to the nearest whole number share.

     10. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF AWARD. This Award is not transferable otherwise than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. This Award shall not be otherwise transferred, assigned,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt
to transfer this Award otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to assign,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Award, or upon the levy of any execution,
attachment or similar process upon this Award, this Award shall immediately terminate and become
null and void.

     11. TERMINATING TRANSACTIONS. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company prior to
the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award becoming 100% vested this Award shall terminate.
Upon the occurrence of any (i) merger or

-5-

 

consolidation in which the Company shall not be the surviving entity (or survives only as a
subsidiary of another entity whose shareholders did not own all or substantially all of the
Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction), (ii) sale of all or substantially
all of the Company’s assets to any other person or entity (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary),
or (iii) the acquisition of beneficial ownership or control of (including, without limitation,
power to vote) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock by any person or entity
(including a “group” as defined by or under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (collectively a “Terminating Transaction”), this Award shall terminate unless
provision be made in writing in connection with such transaction for the assumption of the Award or
the substitution for the Award of a new Award covering the shares of Common Stock of a successor
employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof or of the Company, with appropriate
adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, in which event this Award shall
continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. If this Award shall terminate pursuant to
the foregoing sentences, the shares subject to the Award shall be considered 100% vested at such
time immediately prior to the consummation of the Terminating Transaction as the Company shall
designate.

     12. NOTICES. All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be
given in writing and shall be deemed duly given and received on the third full
business day following the day of the mailing thereof by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, or when delivered personally as follows:

          (a) If to the Company, at its principal executive offices at the time of the giving of such
notice, or at such other place as the Company shall have designated by notice as herein provided to
each of the Awardees;

          (b) If to Awardee, at the address as it appears below Awardee’s signature to this Agreement,
or at such other place as Awardee shall have designated by notice as herein provided to the
Company; and

          (c) If to any other holder, at such holder’s last address appearing in the Company’s records.

     13. PLAN CONTROLS. The Award and all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement are
subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan as may be amended from time to
time, (but no amendment shall adversely affect the Awardee’s rights under this Award) and any rules
and regulations promulgated by the Committee, which shall be controlling. All constructions,
interpretations, rule determinations or other actions taken by the Committee shall be final,
binding and conclusive on all interested parties, including the Company and its subsidiaries and
all former, present and future employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.

-6-

 

     14. RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall confer upon
the Awardee any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
interfere in any way with any right of the Company to terminate the Awardee’s employment at any
time.

     15. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The Awardee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect
to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award until the date of the issuance of a certificate
for such shares of Common Stock (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company
or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is
issued, except as provided in Section 9.

     16. ARBITRATION. Any dispute or claim concerning any Award granted (or not granted) pursuant
to the Plan and this Agreement and any other disputes or claims relating to or arising out of the
Plan and this Agreement shall be fully, finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration
conducted in San Diego, California, by either (i) the American Arbitration Association in
accordance with its rules and procedures, or (ii) by any party mutually agreed upon by the
Committee and the claimant. By accepting an Award, the Awardee and the Company waive their
respective rights to have any disputes or claims tried by a judge or jury.

     17. LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under
the laws of the State of Delaware and for all purposes shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of
conflicts of law.

     18. RECEIPT OF PROSPECTUS. The Awardee hereby acknowledges that he or she has received a copy
of the prospectus relating to the Award and the shares covered thereby and the Plan.

     19. GENERAL. The Company shall at all times during the term of this Award reserve and keep
available such numbers of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements
of this Award, shall pay all fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection
therewith, and will from time to time use its best efforts to comply with all laws and regulations
which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, shall be applicable thereto.

     20. ANNUAL REPORTS. The Company shall during the term of this Award provide to Awardee an
annual report regarding the Company.

     21. MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a) This writing constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may not be modified or amended except by a written

-7-

 

agreement signed by Awardee and the Company. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, any modification or amendment of this Agreement by a written agreement signed by,
or binding upon, Awardee shall be valid and binding upon any and all persons or entities who may,
at any time, have or claim any rights under or pursuant to this Agreement (including all Awardees
hereunder) in respect of the Award granted to the Awardee.

          (b) No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall be considered valid unless in writing
and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or
similar nature. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any waiver, consent or
other instrument under or pursuant to this Agreement signed by, or binding upon, Awardee shall be
valid and binding upon any and all persons or entities (other than the Company) who may, at any
time, have or claim any rights under or pursuant to this Agreement (including all Awardees
hereunder) in respect of the Award originally granted to Awardee.

          (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and Awardee and his heirs,
personal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall be construed as granting Awardee the right to transfer any of his Award except in accordance
with this Agreement.

          (d) If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render
invalid or unenforceable any other severable provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall
be carried out as if any such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.

          (e) The section headings contained herein are for the purposes of convenience only and are not
intended to define or limit the contents of said sections.

          (f) Each party hereto shall cooperate and shall take such further action and shall execute and
deliver such further documents as may be reasonably requested by any other party in order to carry
out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

          (g) Whenever the pronouns “he” or “his” are used herein they shall also be deemed to mean
“she” or “hers” or “it” or “its” whenever applicable. Words in the singular shall be read and
