taking into account Executive’s performance and performance of the Company for the applicable period to which the award relates. All awards under the Equity Plan shall be evidenced by an award agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of
the applicable award. For purposes of determining the value of any equity award made under the Equity Plan in accordance with this paragraph (c), the value of stock options granted shall be determined based on the Black-Scholes valuation method.

programs and arrangements, to the extent and on substantially the same terms as those benefits are provided by Company from time to time to Company’s other senior management employees, including vacation programs, fringe benefit programs,

 (e)    Expenses.  

 

	 	(i)	Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses actually incurred or paid by Executive during the Term in the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement, subject to and in accordance with Company’s applicable expense reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time. To the extent that any reimbursements from Company to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise (including any
reimbursements under this paragraph 3(e)) are taxable to Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid to Executive only if (A) to the extent not specified herein, the expenses are incurred and reimbursable pursuant to a reimbursement plan that
provides an objectively determinable nondiscretionary definition of the expenses that are eligible for reimbursement and (B) the expenses are incurred during the Term. With respect to any expenses that are reimbursable pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the amount of the expenses that are eligible for reimbursement during one calendar year may not affect the amount of reimbursements to be provided in any subsequent calendar year, the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no
later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and the right to reimbursement of the expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, any reimbursements under this Agreement or otherwise shall be provided in accordance with rules and procedures that will satisfy the requirements of an accountable plan (as defined in the Code and applicable guidance) such that
the reimbursements will be excludable from Executive’s income. 

  
 6 

	 	(ii)	Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable transportation expenses (coach airfare and transportation to and from the applicable airport) actually incurred by Executive during the Relocation Period for trips
to/from Chicago, Illinois from/to the Current Home Location (collectively, the “Trips”). For purposes of this subparagraph (ii), transportation expenses incurred by Executive with respect to Executive’s spouse’s travel for a Trip
(rather than Executive) shall be treated as expenses incurred by Executive for such Trip and shall be reimbursable in accordance with this subparagraph (ii). The maximum number of Trips that are subject to reimbursement pursuant to this subparagraph
(ii) shall be equal to the number of weeks in the Relocation Period divided by two (2), such that Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for a number of Trips equivalent to the number that would result from a Trip taken every two
(2) weeks during the Relocation Period. Executive shall timely provide Company with appropriate documentation/receipts to obtain reimbursement pursuant to this subparagraph (ii). All reimbursements pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) shall
be made in calendar year 2018, regardless of when the Trip occurred. 

  

	 	(iii)	Company shall reimburse Executive for the reasonable rental costs of temporary housing in the greater Chicago, Illinois area, actually incurred by Executive during the Relocation Period and during a period of thirty
(30) days following the end of the Relocation Period if, as of the end of the Relocation Period, Executive has not sold his primary residence in the Current Home Location. 

 

	 	(iv)	Company shall pay for the reasonable costs associated with moving Executive’s household goods, up to three (3) automobiles, one (1) boat, and small domestic animals, to the greater Chicago, Illinois area,
including packing, moving, and storage (if required, for up to 60 days following the sale of the primary residence in the Current Home Location). Said payment shall be made after Executive obtains estimates from at least two (2) reputable
moving and storage companies, as applicable, and payment shall be made directly to the least expensive of those companies upon receipt of an invoice for services rendered. 

 

	 	(v)	Company shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable real estate commissions and closing costs actually incurred by Executive with respect to the purchase of a primary residence in the greater Chicago, Illinois area
provided that the purchase occurs during 2017 or 2018 (and any reimbursement shall be made in 2018). For purposes of this Agreement (including subparagraph (vi) below), “closing costs” are limited to title charges, government
recording and transfer fees, administration fees, real estate fees and document handling (closing costs specifically do not include the purchase of points). Reimbursement is subject to Executive’s timely submission to Company of appropriate
documentation substantiating the real estate commissions and closing costs. 

  
 7 

	 	(vi)	Company shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable real estate commissions and closing costs actually incurred by Executive with respect to the sale of his primary residence in the Current Home Location provided that
the sale occurs during 2017 or 2018 (and any reimbursement shall be made in 2018). 

  

	 	(vii)	To the extent that any of the Relocation Benefits are taxable to Executive, Company shall provide Executive with a gross-up payment in an amount such that the net amount of such
taxable Relocation Benefits retained by Executive after deduction for any federal, state, and local income tax and employment tax on the amount of Relocation Benefits shall equal the amount of the taxable Relocation Benefits. Any gross-up payment with respect to any Relocation Benefits pursuant to this subparagraph (vii) shall be provided at the same time as the applicable Relocation Benefit to which it relates. 

The reasonableness of any expense pursuant to subparagraphs (ii)-(vi) remains subject to Company oversight and approval, and any approved
expenses may be taxable as required by law or Company policy. 
 4.    Termination and Payments on Termination.
Company or Executive may terminate the Term and Executive’s employment with Company at any time for any reason or no reason without any breach of this Agreement. Any such termination (other than termination on account of Executive’s death)
shall be effected through an advance written notice from the terminating Party to the other Party, which notice shall be provided within applicable time periods set forth in this Agreement, if applicable, shall indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied on, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances, if any, on which such termination is based. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s employment shall not be considered to have
terminated due to Good Reason unless, within thirty (30) days of an event that Executive considers to constitute Good Reason, Executive provides written notice to Company of such event, Company has not cured such event or condition within
thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice and Executive terminates employment for Good Reason within fifteen (15) days after expiration of such cure period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive’s
right to payment and benefits under this Agreement for periods after his Termination Date shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 4 or, if applicable, Section 5. In no event shall Executive be
entitled to payments and benefits under both Section 4 and Section 5.

4(a) are referred to herein as the “Accrued Obligations”. Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Executive to be treated as employed by Company
for purposes of any employee benefit plan, arrangement or program following the date of the Termination Date. 

(b)    Termination by Company for Cause; Termination by Executive without Good Reason; Termination Due to Non-renewal of Term. In the event that the Termination Date occurs by reason of (i) termination of Executive’s employment by Company for Cause, (ii) termination by Executive without Good

Requirements (as defined below) are met as of the Payment Date, Executive shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits: (A) an amount equal to his Base Salary, payable in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments,
beginning on the Payment Date, (B) the amount of the Annual Bonus earned by Executive with respect to Company’s most recently completed calendar year, if any, to the extent that such Annual Bonus has not yet been paid as of the Termination
Date, which amount shall be paid in a lump sum on the payment date generally applicable to such bonus (but no earlier than the Payment Date), (C) a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus, if any, that would have been earned by Executive with respect
to Company’s fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs had the Termination Date not occurred, payable in a lump sum on the payment date generally applicable to such bonus (but no earlier than the Payment Date), (D) if Executive is
entitled to and elects COBRA Coverage, the Medical Continuation Benefit, and (E) all equity awards shall vest and shall be exercisable, if applicable, in accordance with their terms as set forth in the Equity Plan or applicable award agreement.

period beginning on the Termination Date and ending on the Payment Date shall 

  
 9 

 
be paid in a lump sum on the Payment Date. In no event shall the Medical Continuation Benefit have the effect of extending or otherwise modifying the maximum COBRA Continuation Period. The pro
ration of any amount under this Section 4 shall be calculated by multiplying the amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the applicable period prior to (but not including) the Termination Date and the denominator
of which is the number of days in the applicable period.

payments and benefits: (a) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) eighteen (18) months of his Base Salary plus (ii) his target Annual Bonus for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, payable on the Payment Date;
(b) the amount of the Annual Bonus, if any, earned by Executive with respect to Company’s most recently completed fiscal year, if any, to the extent that such Annual Bonus has not yet been paid as of the Termination Date, which amount
shall be paid in a lump sum on the payment date generally applicable to such bonus (but no earlier than the Payment Date), (c) if Executive is entitled to and elects COBRA Coverage, the Medical Continuation Benefit, and (d) all equity awards

constitute a change in control event within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, payments pursuant to this Section 5, to the extent required to comply with section 409A of the Code, shall be paid at the same time and in the same form as
corresponding payments and benefits otherwise payable under paragraph 4(d). 
 6.    Mitigation and Set-Off. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. Company shall not be entitled to set off against the
amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement any amounts earned by Executive in other employment after termination of his employment with Company or any amounts which might have been earned by Executive in other employment had he sought such
other employment; provided, however that Company shall be entitled to set off against the amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement any amounts owed to Company by Executive.

Parties including any dispute, claim or difference arising out of this Agreement, shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the JAMS. The arbitration shall be held Chicago, Illinois unless the Parties
mutually agree otherwise. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be construed to limit or preclude a Party from bringing any action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other provisional relief to compel another party to
comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between or among the Parties during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings. Each Party shall bear its own costs and fees of the arbitration, and the fees and expenses of
the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the Parties, provided, however, if the arbitrator determines that any Party has acted in bad faith, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to require any one or more of the Parties to bear all or any
portion of fees and expenses of the Parties and/or the fees and expenses of the arbitrator; provided, further that, with respect to claims that, but for this mandatory arbitration clause, could be brought against Company under any applicable federal
or state labor or employment law (“Employment Law”), the arbitrator shall be granted and shall be required to exercise all discretion belonging to a court of competent jurisdiction under such Employment Law to decide the dispute, whether
such discretion relates to the provision of discovery, the award of any remedies or penalties, or otherwise and provided further that Company may be required to pay filing or administrative fees in the event that requiring Executive to pay such fees
would render this Section 9 unenforceable under applicable law. As to claims not relating to Employment Laws, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a Court of the State of Illinois could order or grant. The
decision and award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and copies thereof shall be delivered to each Party. The decision and award of the arbitrator shall be binding on all Parties. In rendering such decision and award, the arbitrator shall not
add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement. Either Party to the arbitration may seek to have the award of the arbitrator entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All aspects of the arbitration shall be
considered confidential and shall not be disseminated by any Party with the exception of the ability and opportunity to prosecute its claim or assert its defense to any such claim. The arbitrator shall, upon request of either Party, issue all
prescriptive orders as may be required to enforce and maintain this covenant of confidentiality during the course of the arbitration and after the conclusion of same so that the result and underlying data, information, materials and other evidence
are forever withheld from public dissemination with the exception of its subpoena by a court of competent jurisdiction in an unrelated proceeding brought by a third party.

administrators) is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that
Executive is or was a director or officer of Company or is or was serving at the request of Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, Executive (and his heirs, executors or
administrators) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Company to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law. To the fullest extent authorized by Delaware Law, the right to indemnification conferred in this Section 10 shall also include
the right to be paid by Company the expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery to Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of Executive to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified. Company’s obligations under this Section 10 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

specified by the parties by like notice). Communications that are to be delivered by the U.S. mail or by overnight service are to be delivered to the addresses set forth below: 

to Company: 
 Potbelly Corporation

 111 N. Canal Street, Suite 850 

Chicago, IL 60606 
 Attention:
General Counsel 
 or to Executive, to Executive’s home address as reflected in Company’s records. 

Each party, by notice furnished to the other party, may modify the applicable delivery address, except that notice of change of address shall be effective
only upon receipt. 
 (b)    Modification, Waivers. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a
writing signed by an authorized representative of Company and Executive. To the extent that the provision of Medical Continuation Benefit under this Agreement would subject Company to a material tax or penalty, Company shall have the authority to
amend the Agreement to the limited extent reasonably necessary to avoid such tax or penalty and shall use all reasonable efforts to provide Executive with a comparable benefit that does not subject Company to such tax or penalty. Company’s
failure, or delay in exercising any right, or partial exercise of any right, shall not waive any provision of this Agreement or preclude Company from otherwise or further exercising any rights or remedies hereunder, or any other rights or remedies
granted by any law or any related document. 

  
 12 

 (c)    Governing Law and Choice of Forum. The construction,
validity, and enforceability of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, as that law applies to contracts made, and to be wholly performed, in the State of Illinois. 

(d)    Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Company, Executive,
and Executive’s personal representatives, beneficiaries, heirs, and successors. Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Company would be required to perform it if no such succession has taken place. 

(e)    Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or enforceable with
respect to Executive, it shall be considered deleted herefrom with respect to Executive and the remainder of such provision and this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance to and not in limitation
of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law with respect to Executive, then such
provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which are validly and enforceably covered with respect to Executive. Executive acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this
Agreement be given the construction which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its expressed terms) possible under applicable laws. 

(f)    No Violation. Executive represents and warrants to Company that the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Executive, and the carrying out of Executive’s duties on behalf of Company as contemplated hereby, do not violate or conflict with the terms of any other agreements to which Executive is or was a party. 

(g)    Independent Review and Advice. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has carefully read
this Agreement; that Executive executes this Agreement with full knowledge of the contents of this Agreement, the legal consequences thereof, and any and all rights which each party may have with respect to each other; that Executive has had the
opportunity to receive independent legal advice with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement and with respect to the rights and asserted rights arising out of such matters, and that Executive is entering into this Agreement of
Executive’s own free will. Executive expressly agrees that there are no expectations contrary to the Agreement and no usage of trade or regular practice in the industry shall be used to modify the Agreement. 

(h)    No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen
by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be used against any person. 

12.    Withholding. All payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable
taxes. 

  
 13 

 13.    Special Section 409A Rules. It is intended
that this Agreement shall comply with section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed on a basis consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if any payment or benefit hereunder is subject to section 409A of the Code, and if such payment or benefit is to be paid or provided on account of Executive’s Termination Date (or other separation from service or termination of
employment (a) and if Executive is a specified employee (within the meaning of section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code) and if any such payment or benefit is required to be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following Executive’s separation from service or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (the
“Section 409A Payment Date”), such payment or benefit shall be delayed until the Section 409A Payment Date; and (b) the determination as to whether Executive has had a termination of employment (or separation from service)
shall be made in accordance with the provisions of section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder without application of any alternative levels of reductions of bona fide services permitted thereunder. For purposes of section 409A of
the Code, any installment payment or benefit under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. If this Section 13 applies to any payment or benefit hereunder, any such payments or benefits that would otherwise have been paid or
provided to Executive between Executive’s Termination Date and the Section 409A Payment Date, shall be paid in a lump sum on the Section 409A Payment Date. 

14.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in duplicate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original hereof. 
 15.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with Executive Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement in effect on the Effective Date, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels all prior or contemporaneous oral or
written agreements and understandings between them with respect to the subject matter hereof, except as otherwise specifically stated in this Agreement, including the Prior Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall supersede
the provisions of the Stock Terms Agreement which was included as Exhibit C to the Prior Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed or modified orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto, which instrument states that
it is an amendment to this Agreement.

 IN WITNESS HEREOF, each party has caused this Executive Employment Agreement to be executed in a
manner appropriate for such party as of the date first above written.

	  	Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement

  

 THIS POTBELLY SANDWICH WORKS CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is made and entered into, and is effective, as of November 28, 2017 (the “Effective Date”) between POTBELLY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Alan Johnson (the
“Employee”). 
 Recitals 

A. The Employee has and will obtain valuable knowledge and experience pertaining to the Company’s business in Employee’s role in the
Company. 
 B. The Company desires to enter into an agreement to avail itself of Employee’s knowledge and experience and to provide for
a prohibition on Employee’s disclosing confidential information, improperly competing or otherwise interfering with the business conducted by the Company. 

Agreements 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for
and in consideration of the mutual covenants and benefits set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the Company and Employee hereby agree as
follows: 
 1. Consideration. Employee’s consideration for entering into this Agreement is being hired. 

2. Confidentiality, Non-Competition, and Non-Interference. 

2.1 Confidential Information. The Employee acknowledges that in Employee’s employment Employee is or will be making use of,
acquiring, or adding to Confidential Information of the Company, and therefore agrees in order to protect such Confidential Information to the following: 

(a) Except as may be required by the lawful order of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction, or except to the extent that Employee has
express authorization from the Company, Employee will keep secret and confidential indefinitely all Confidential Information that was acquired by or disclosed to Employee during the course of Employee’s employment with the Company or its
predecessors or any of its Affiliates and not to disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other person, firm, or business entity, or to use it in any way. 

(b) Upon Employee’s termination of employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates for any reason or at the Company’s earlier
request, Employee will promptly return to the Company any and all records, documents, physical property, information, computer disks or other materials relating to the business of the Company and its Affiliates obtained by Employee during the course
of Employee’s employment with the Company. 
 (c) Employee will keep the Company informed of, and will execute such assignments as may
be necessary to transfer to the Company or its Affiliates the benefits of, any inventions, discoveries, improvements, trade secrets, developments, processes, and procedures made by Employee, in whole or in part, or conceived by Employee either alone
or with others, which result from any work which Employee has done or may do for or at the request of the Company or any of its Affiliates, whether or not conceived by Employee while on holiday, on vacation, or off the premises of the Company,
including such of the foregoing items conceived during the course of employment which are developed or perfected after Employee’s termination of employment and will assist the Company, or other entity nominated by it, to obtain patents,
trademarks and service marks and to execute all documents and to take all other actions which are necessary or appropriate to secure to the Company and its Affiliates the benefits thereof. Such patents, trademarks, and service marks will become the
property of the Company. The Employee will deliver to the Company all sketches, drawings, models, figures, plans, outlines, descriptions or other information with respect thereto.

 Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement 

 

 (d) To the extent that any court or agency seeks to have Employee disclose Confidential
Information, Employee will promptly inform the Company, and Employee will take such reasonable steps at the Company’s expense to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information until the Company has been informed of such requested disclosure,
and the Company has an opportunity to respond to such court or agency. To the extent that Employee obtains information on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates that may be subject to attorney-client privilege as to the Company’s
attorneys, Employee will take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to preserve such privilege. 
 (e)
Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Agreement will be construed so as to prevent Employee from disclosing or using, in connection with Employee’s employment for himself or an employer other than the Company or any of its Affiliates,
knowledge which was acquired by Employee during the course of Employee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates, and which (i) is generally known to persons of Employee’s experience in other companies in the same industry or
(ii) has become public, published or is otherwise in the public domain through no fault of Employee prior to any disclosure thereof by Employee. 

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not prohibit Employee from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to
any governmental agency or entity or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. The Company’s approval shall not be required, nor shall notice to the Company be required, in
connection with such reports or disclosures. 
 2.2 Inventions. 

(a) Employee agrees that: (i) all Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, (ii) all original works of
authorship which are made by Employee (solely or jointly) are works made for hire under the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., et seq.), and (iii) Employee shall promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions, all original works of
authorship and all work product relating thereto. This disclosure will include complete and accurate copies of all Tangible Embodiments of any Invention, works of authorship and work product. All Tangible Embodiments of any Invention, work of
authorship or work product related thereto will be deemed to have been assigned to the Company as a result of the act of expressing any Invention or work of authorship therein. Employee hereby assigns to the Company (together with the right to
prosecute or sue for infringements or other violations of the same) the entire worldwide right, title and interest to any such Inventions or works made for hire, and Employee agrees to perform, during and after employment, all acts deemed necessary
or desirable by the Company to permit and assist it, at the Company’s expense, in registering, recording, obtaining, maintaining, defending, enforcing and assigning Inventions or works made for hire in any and all countries. Employee hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in Employee’s behalf and instead of Employee, to execute and file any documents and to do
all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee; this designation and appointment constitutes an irrevocable power of attorney and is coupled with an interest. Without
limiting the generality of any other provision of this Section, Employee hereby authorizes the Company and each of its Affiliates (and their respective successors) to make any desired changes to any part of any Invention, to combine it with other
materials in any manner desired, and to withhold Employee’s identity in connection with any distribution or use thereof alone or in combination with other materials. The obligations of Employee set forth in this Section (including, but not
limited to, the assignment obligations) will continue beyond the termination of Employee’s employment with respect to Inventions conceived or made by Employee alone or in concert with others during Employee’s employment with the Company
and during the one year thereafter, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. These obligations will be binding upon Employee and Employee’s executors, administrators and other representatives.

 Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement 

 

 (b) The provisions of this Section 2.2 do not waive or transfer Employee’s rights
to any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret or confidential information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on Employee’s own time, unless the invention relates to the business of the
Company, or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or the invention results from any work that Employee performed for the Company during the term of Employee’s business relationship with the Company.

 2.3 Non-Competition. Employee’s employment or contributions in a managerial, strategic, administrative, ownership, investor,
or consultant role for a competitor in a fashion similar to Employee’s duties and responsibilities for the Company or that would inevitably or likely result in the Employee’s use or disclosure of Confidential Information would cause
irreparable harm to the Company’s operations and plans for expansion. Thus, during employment and for a one (1) year period following the termination of employment for any reason, Employee is prohibited from working for a Competitor in any
such role described in this Section in the United States or in any foreign country in which the Company and/or a Related Party engage, or have developed tangible plans to engage, in business. Ownership of five percent or less of the outstanding
stock of any corporation listed on the New York or American Stock Exchange or traded in The Nasdaq Stock Market does not breach this Section 2.3. 

2.4 Non-Interference. The Employee agrees that Employee will not, at any time during the term of Employee’s employment by the
Company or any of its Affiliates and for the one (1) year period following the Employee’s termination of employment for any reason, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly actually, or attempt to, contact,
solicit or induce any employee, agent or other representative or associate of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate that employee’s or other entity’s relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates as the case may be or
interfere with a relationship between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any of their employees, agents, representatives, customers, suppliers or distributors. 

2.5 Residency. Employee (i) represents that Employee is currently a resident of the United States of America and
(ii) covenants that Employee has no plans to become a resident of a country other than the United States of America or otherwise take any action which would exclude Employee from taxation by the United States of America during the Employment
Period. 
 2.6 Remedies. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the duration and restrictions set forth herein have been
specifically discussed and negotiated and are reasonable in view of all the facts and circumstances known to Employee. The Employee also acknowledges that Employee’s compliance with the covenants in this Agreement are necessary to protect the
Company, and that a breach of any of these covenants will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law and Employee agrees that in the event of a breach of any of said covenants, the
Company and its Affiliates and their successors and assigns will be entitled to injunctive relief, without the need for posting bond, and to such other relief as is proper under the circumstances. 

2.7 Definitions. As used in the Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings: 

“Affiliate” means with respect to a specified person or entity, any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, the specified person or entity. 
 “Competitor” means any business engaged in the
operation of fast food or quick-service restaurants specializing in, submarine, hoagie, hero-type or deli-style sandwiches or sandwich meals, soups, smoothies, milkshakes, ice cream or other frozen confection items. 

“Confidential Information” means all of the Company’s meal preparation techniques, pricing information, pricing strategies,
supplier information, training methods, customer surveys, marketing plans, advertising and promotion methods and plans, business plans, employee salary, wage, benefit and other compensation information (including that pertaining to Employee), menus,
recipes, methods of food preparation, product formulae, methods and standards, data and data bases, research, operational information,

management information, financial information, marketing information, tax information, demographic information, site information, lease terms, equipment specifications and all other confidential,
non-public information, trade secrets, customer records and other customer information of or concerning the Company and its Affiliates. Confidential Information shall not include information which is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act
of Employee, but shall include compilations of such information where the coordination, selection or arrangement of such information is not publicly known or available. 

“Control,” “controlled” or “controlling” or words or phrases of similar import means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. For avoidance of doubt, any person or entity that is greater
than or equal to 50 percent owned, or of which greater than or equal to 50 percent of the voting interests of such person or entity is owned or controlled, will be considered an Affiliate. 

“Inventions” means any and all inventions, developments, discoveries, improvements, works of authorship, concepts or ideas, or
expressions thereof, whether or not subject to patents, copyright, trademark, trade secret protection or other intellectual property right protection (in the United States or elsewhere), and whether or not reduced to practice, conceived or developed
by Employee while employed with the Company or within one year following termination of such employment that relate to or result from the actual or anticipated business, work, research or investigation of the Company or any of its Affiliates or
which are suggested by or result from any task assigned to or performed by Employee for the Company or any of its Affiliates. 

“Non-Competition Period” has the meaning defined in Section 2.3. 

“Related Party(ies)” means the Company and its Affiliates, subsidiaries, area developers, franchisees, and joint venturers.

diagrams, test data, reports, samples and other tangible evidence or results of Inventions, works of authorship and work product. 
 3.
Miscellaneous. 
 3.1 Assignment. Any attempt by Employee to assign Employee’s rights or delegate Employee’s duties
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company will be void. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon the Company and its Affiliates and their successors and assigns, and will inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon Employee and Employee’s personal representatives, successors-in-interest, and permitted assigns. 
 3.2
Waiver of Breach. No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver. The waiver by either the Company or Employee of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate as or be deemed a waiver of
any subsequent breach by either the Company or Employee. 
 3.3 Severability. It is mutually agreed and understood by the parties
that if any of the agreements and covenants contained herein be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid by virtue of being vague or unreasonable, including but not limited to the provisions of Section 2, then the parties
hereto consent that this Agreement will be amended retroactive to the date of its execution to include the terms and conditions said court deems to be reasonable and in conformity with the original intent of the parties and the parties hereto
consent that under such circumstances, said court will have the power and authority to determine what is reasonable and in conformity with the original intent of the parties to the maximum extent that said covenants and/or agreements are
enforceable. 
 3.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or canceled by mutual Agreement of the parties in writing without the
consent of any other person.

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT (RSU) GRANT AGREEMENT

 

This Performance Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between CACI International Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “CACI”) and John S. Mengucci (the “Grantee”), effective as of November 28, 2017 (the “Grant Date”).

WHEREAS, the CACI International Inc 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) permits the Committee to make awards of Performance Restricted Stock Units to key employees of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate;

 

WHEREAS, the Grantee has been determined to be a key employee who is entitled to an Award under the Plan; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide the Grantee the opportunity to acquire stock ownership in the Company based on the performance of the Company, in order to provide the Grantee with a direct proprietary interest in the Company and to provide the Grantee with an incentive to remain in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Grantee covenant and agree as follows:

(1)gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful malfeasance by the Grantee in connection with the performance of any material duty for the Company or an Affiliate;

(2)the Grantee’s commission or participation in any violation of any legal requirement or obligation relating to the Company (unless the Grantee had a reasonable good faith belief that the act, omission or failure to act in question was not a violation of such legal requirement or obligation) and such violation has materially and adversely affected the Company;

(3)the Grantee’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere, to a crime committed during the course of his/her employment with the Company that the Committee, acting in good faith, reasonably determines is likely to have a material adverse effect on the reputation or business of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;

(4)theft, embezzlement or fraud by the Grantee in connection with the performance of his or her duties for the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;

(6)a material violation of (i) the Company’s Standards of Conduct, as the same may be amended and in effect from time to time, or (ii) any other published Company policy; or

(7)the diversion or appropriation of any material business opportunity.

If the written employment agreement between the Grantee and the Company provides a different definition of “Cause” (or other term that defines conduct on the part of the Grantee that permits the Company to terminate such written employment agreement without liability to the Grantee), that definition shall control and shall be substituted for the above in applying the Plan to the Grantee.

(d)“Change in Control Date” shall be the date (after the Grant Date) on which a Change in Control event is legally consummated and legally binding upon the parties.

The Company shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure any such Good Reason (that is susceptible of cure) within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of such notice.  The Grantee’s delay in providing such notice shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any such Good Reason, nor does the failure to resign for one Good Reason prevent any later Good Reason resignation for a similar or different reason.

(j)“Grant Date” means November 28, 2017.

 

-3-

 

(k)“Involuntary Termination Without Cause” means a Separation from Service due to the Grantee’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause.

AWARD OF PERFORMANCE RSUs.

 

(a)Grant of Performance RSUs.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Grantee on the Grant Date 38,506 Performance RSUs.  The Grantee shall be entitled to receive one share of Stock for each Performance RSU earned by the Grantee and vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The number of Performance RSUs to which the Grantee would be entitled if the EPS condition is attained by the Company, and the Service Requirement fully completed, shall be credited to the Grantee’s Account as of the Grant Date.  The Grantee’s Account shall be the record of Performance RSUs granted to the Grantee hereunder and is solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any assets of the Company.  The Grantee shall not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Performance RSUs credited to the Grantee’s Account until shares of Stock have been distributed to the Grantee pursuant to Section 4, and the Grantee’s name has been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the Company with respect to such distributed shares of Stock.

 

(b)Dividend Equivalents.  If on any date prior to issuance of the shares  of Stock subject to the Performance RSUs, the Company shall pay any dividend on the Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Stock), the number of Performance RSUs credited to Grantee’s Account shall as of such date be increased by an amount equal to:  (A) the product of the number of Performance RSUs credited to the Grantee’s Account as of the record date for such dividend, multiplied by the per share amount of any dividend (or, in the case of any dividend payable in property other than cash, the per share value of such dividend, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), divided by (B) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the payment date of such dividend.  In the case of any dividend declared on Stock which is payable in shares of Stock, the number of Performance RSUs credited to the Grantee shall be increased by a number equal to the product of (X) the aggregate number of Performance RSUs that have been credited to the Grantee’s Account through the related dividend record date, multiplied by (Y) the number of shares of Stock (including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on a share of Stock.

PERFORMANCE, VESTING AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS.

 

The Performance RSUs shall become earned and vested only upon, and to the extent of, the satisfaction of the Performance Measures (as defined in the Plan) and the completion of the employment requirements set forth below.

 

(a)EPS Condition.  No Performance RSUs shall become tentatively earned under this Section 3(a) in the event the EPS for the fiscal year of the Company ending June 30, 2019 is less than [XXXX]. If such EPS condition is satisfied (i.e., if EPS for the fiscal year of the Company ending June 30, 2019 is at least $[XXXX]), the Grantee shall, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 3, tentatively earn the following granted Performance RSUs.

-5-

 

 

(b)Regular Vesting Schedule.  Except as set forth in this Section 3, the Performance RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule.

 

(c)Retirement; Involuntary Termination Without Cause.  Upon the Grantee’s Retirement or Involuntary Termination Without Cause, then in lieu of determining the number of Performance RSUs in which the Grantee is vested based upon the Vesting Schedule, the Grantee shall vest in the Performance RSUs based on the amount of Performance RSUs that were vested as of the Vesting Date preceding the Grantee’s Retirement (as determined pursuant to the Vesting Schedule) (the “Pre-Retirement Vesting Date”) and the Grantee shall vest in a portion of the remaining Performance RSUs based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months following the Pre-Retirement Vesting Date during which the Grantee is employed with the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) and the denominator of which is the total number of months remaining in the Vesting Schedule after the Pre-Retirement Vesting Date.

 

(d)Vesting Upon Disability or Death.  The Grantee shall become 100% vested in all Performance RSUs upon the occurrence of one of the following events while the Grantee is employed with the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company): (i) the Grantee’s death or (ii) the Grantee’s termination of employment due to Disability.

 

(e)Vesting Upon Change in Control.  The Grantee shall become 100% vested in all Performance RSUs if the Grantee’s employment with the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) is involuntarily terminated by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) without “Cause” or by the Grantee for “Good Reason”, and further provided that such termination of employment occurred within twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control.

 

Before the Grantee may resign for Good Reason, the Grantee must provide the Company at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of his intent to resign for Good Reason and specify in reasonable detail the Good Reason upon which such resignation is based.  Such notice must be given within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the “Good Reason”.  The Company shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure any such Good Reason (that is susceptible of cure) within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of such notice.  The failure to resign for one Good Reason does not prevent any later Good Reason resignation for a similar or different reason.

 

(f)Employment Requirement; Forfeiture.  Except as provided in Section 3(b), (c) or (d), or otherwise determined by the Committee, in order to become vested in (i.e., earn) Performance RSUs under the terms of this Agreement, the Grantee must have been in the continuous employment of the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) from the Grant Date through the close of business on the applicable Vesting Date (or such earlier date on which the RSUs become vested under Section 3(b), (c) or 

-6-

 

(d)). The Grantee shall not be deemed to be employed by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) if the Grantee’s employment has been terminated, even if the Grantee is receiving severance in the form of salary continuation through the regular payroll system. If the Grantee terminates employment with the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) for any reason other than Retirement, Involuntary Termination Without Cause, Disability, or death, the Grantee shall forfeit any Performance RSUs granted under this Agreement that are not vested as of such date.

 

(g)Adjustment of Award.  Payments under this Agreement are subject to recovery by the Company to the extent required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(h)Forfeiture of Award and Right to Payments. In the event that the employment of the Grantee is terminated for Cause then, in such event, the Grantee shall forfeit all rights to the Performance RSUs and shall repay to the Company all shares of Stock received by the Grantee with respect to such Performance RSUs or the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock if no longer in Grantee’s possession on or after the date of the act giving rise to the Grantee's termination for Cause.  

 

In the event that, following the Grantee's termination of employment the Company discovers that, during the course of his employment with the Company, the Grantee committed an act that would have given rise to a termination for Cause, then, in such event, the Grantee shall forfeit all outstanding rights to the Performance RSUs. Further, the Grantee agrees and undertakes to repay to the Company all shares of Stock received by the Grantee or the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock if no longer in Grantee’s possession on or after the date of such act or violation.  

 

(i)Bankruptcy; Dissolution. Performance RSUs granted under this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and forfeited in the event that the Company is placed under the jurisdiction of a bankruptcy court, or is dissolved or liquidated.

 

	
4.
	
ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

  

(a)Issuance of Shares.  As soon as practicable after the Grantee’s shares have become earned and vested, the Company shall establish an account for the Grantee at UBS Financial Services, Inc., or such other similar organization which provides stock administration services to the Company, and transfer into such account shares of Stock equal in number to the number of Performance RSUs that became earned and vested (less the amount of any shares of Stock that are withheld to satisfy any tax withholding requirement); provided, however, in no event shall shares of Stock be issued later than the last day on which such issuance will qualify as a “short-term deferral” under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(a)(4). Upon issuance, such shares of Stock shall be registered on the 

-7-

 

Company’s books in the name of the Grantee in full payment and satisfaction of such Performance RSUs.

 

(b)Transfer Restrictions.  Transfer of the shares of Stock shall be subject to the Company’s trading policies and any applicable securities laws or regulations governing transferability of shares of the Company. 

 

(c) Securities Regulations.  No Stock shall be issued hereunder until the Company has received all necessary stockholder and regulatory approvals and has taken all necessary steps to assure compliance with federal and state securities laws or has determined to its satisfaction and the satisfaction of its counsel that an exemption from the requirements of the federal and applicable state securities laws are available. To the extent applicable, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the U. S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Any ambiguities or inconsistencies in the construction of this Agreement or the Plan shall be interpreted to give effect to such intention. However, to the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee in its discretion.

 

(d)Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Agreement. If, upon the issuance of shares of Stock under this Agreement, the Grantee would be entitled to a fractional share of Stock, the number of shares to which the Grantee is entitled shall be rounded down to the next lower whole number.

 

(e)Beneficiary.

 

(i)The Grantee may, from time to time, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Agreement is to be paid in case of the Grantee’s death before the Grantee has received all benefits to which the Grantee would have been entitled under this Agreement. Each designation of beneficiary shall revoke all prior designations by the Grantee, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when received in writing by the Committee. The last valid beneficiary designation received shall be controlling; provided, however, that no beneficiary designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received prior to the Grantee’s death.  

 

(ii)If no valid and effective beneficiary designation exists at the time of the Grantee’s death, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Grantee, or if the Grantee’s beneficiary designation is invalid under the law, any benefit payable hereunder shall be made to the Grantee’s surviving spouse, if any, or if there is no such surviving spouse, to the executor or administrator of the Grantee’s estate.  If the Committee is in doubt as to the right of any person to receive payment of any benefit hereunder, the Committee may direct that the amount of such benefit be paid into a court of competent jurisdiction in an interpleader action, and such payment into court shall fully and 

-8-

 

completely discharge any liability or obligation of the Plan, CACI, the Committee, or the Board of Directors of CACI under this Agreement.

 

	
5.
	
MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)No Restriction on Company Authority.  The award of these Performance RSUs to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or power of CACI or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in CACI’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of CACI, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the common stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of CACI, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

 

(b)Adjustment of Performance RSUs.  If CACI shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of Stock outstanding, without receiving compensation therefore in money, services or property, the number and class of shares of Stock represented by the Performance RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement and credited to the Grantee’s Account shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee in accordance with the terms of the Plan in such a manner as to represent the same total number of Performance RSUs that the owner of an equal number of outstanding shares of Stock would own as a result of the event requiring the adjustment.

 

(c)No Adjustment Otherwise.  Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issue by CACI of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of CACI convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock represented by the Performance RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d)Performance RSUs Nontransferable.  Performance RSUs are not transferable by the Grantee by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or otherwise.

 

(e)Obligation Unfunded.  The obligation of the Company with respect to Performance RSUs granted hereunder shall be interpreted solely as an unfunded contractual obligation to make payments of Stock in the manner and under the conditions prescribed under this Agreement.  Any shares or other assets set aside with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors, and no person other than the Company shall, by virtue of the provisions of the Plan or this Agreement, have any interest in such assets. In no event shall any 

-9-

 

assets set aside (directly or indirectly) with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement be located or transferred outside the United States. Neither the Grantee nor any other person shall have any interest in any particular assets of the Company by reason of the right to receive a benefit under this Agreement, and the Grantee or any such other person shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any rights under the Plan or this Agreement.

 

(f)Withholding Taxes.  The Company shall effect a withholding of shares of Stock to be issued hereunder in such number whose aggregate Fair Market Value at such time equals the total amount of any federal, state or local taxes or any applicable taxes or other withholding of any jurisdiction required by law to be withheld as a result of the issuance of the Stock in whole or in part; provided, however, that the value of the Stock withheld by the Company may not exceed the statutory minimum withholding amounts required by law.  In lieu of such deduction, the Company may permit the Grantee to make a cash payment to the Company equal to the amount required to be withheld.

 

(g) Impact on Other Benefits.  The value of the Performance RSUs (either on the Grant Date or at the time, if ever, the Performance RSUs are vested) shall not be includable as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other benefit plan offered by the Company.

 

(h)Compliance With Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amount shall be paid earlier than the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code or an exception thereto.  The terms of this Agreement are intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or an exception thereto and if any provision is subject to more than one interpretation or construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of the interpretation or construction which is consistent with the Agreement complying with the provisions of Section 409A or an exception thereto. CACI makes no representations as to the tax consequences of the award of Performance RSUs to the Grantee or their vesting (including, without limitation, under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable).  The Grantee understands and agrees that the Grantee is solely responsible for any and all income, employment or other taxes imposed on the Grantee with respect to the award.

 

(i)Right to Continued Employment.  Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) and the Grantee, or as a contractual right of the Grantee to continue in the employ of the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company), or as a limitation of the right of the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) to discharge the Grantee at any time.

 

(j)Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

-10-

 

(k)Arbitration.  Any dispute between the parties hereto arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the American Arbitration Association.  Any resulting hearing shall be held in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.  The resolution of any dispute achieved through such arbitration shall be binding and enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(l)Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns and heirs of the respective parties.

 

(m)Headings.  Headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this agreement.

 

(n)Notices.  All notices and other communications made or given pursuant to the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently made or given if hand delivered or mailed by first class or certified mail, addressed to the Grantee at the address contained in the records of the Company, or addressed to the Committee, care of the Company for the attention of its Secretary at its principal office or, if the receiving party consents in advance, transmitted and received via telecopy or via such other electronic transmission mechanism as may be available to the parties.

 

(o)Entire Agreement; Modification.  The Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and may not be modified, except as provided in the Plan or in a written document signed by each of the parties hereto.

 

(p)Conformity with Plan.  This Agreement is intended to conform in all respects with, and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Unless stated otherwise herein, capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as defined in the Plan.  Inconsistencies between this Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  In the event of any ambiguity in the Agreement or any matters as to which the Agreement is silent, the Plan shall govern including, without limitation, the provisions thereof pursuant to which the Committee has the power, among others, to (i) interpret the Plan and Grant Agreements related thereto, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and (iii) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.  The Grantee acknowledges by signing this Agreement that he or she has reviewed a copy of the Plan.

 

(q)Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
