JACK IN THE BOX INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD

UNDER THE 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

QDOBA

     THIS AGREEMENT is made as of [date] between Jack in the Box Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and [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
[grant date], 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 Committee hereby grants [number of shares (#shares)] shares of
common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Award”) to the Awardee. As of the
date of this Award, the Awardee will acquire and the Company will issue, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01
per share (“Common Stock”) provided under this Award. As a condition to the issuance of the Award,
the Awardee shall execute and deliver to the Company along with this executed Agreement (a) the
Joint Escrow Instructions in the form attached to this Agreement and (b) the Assignment Separate
from Certificate duly endorsed (with date and number of shares blank) in the form attached to this
Agreement.

     2. VESTING. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, and 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, no shares of Common Stock issued under this Award
shall become vested at any time prior to the Awardee’s termination of employment with the Company.
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 6 of this
Agreement.

If any shares subject to this award would otherwise become vested on a day on which the sale of
such shares would violate the provisions of the Company’s Insider Trading policy, then such vesting
automatically shall be deemed to occur on the next day on which the sale of such shares would not
violate the Insider Trading policy.

     3. CONSIDERATION. The Company acknowledges that Awardee has earned the Award Shares in the
form of services previously rendered to the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to Delaware Code
Section 153.

     4. AWARD AS COMPENSATION. No amount attributable to this Award shall be considered as
compensation for the purposes of any other Company sponsored plans.

     5. 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).

 

 

     6. 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 [date 10 years from
grant date], then all of the 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 in its sole discretion. If the Awardee is terminated for cause prior to
[date 10 years from grant date], and unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole
discretion, the Awardee shall not be deemed vested in any portion of this Award, regardless of any
vesting percentage which might have applied to such Award on account of this Section 6 for any
other reason.

          (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 that portion of the Award which shall be
considered vested on such termination shall be, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its
sole discretion, calculated in accordance with the following schedule.

	 	 	 	 	 
	Date of Termination	 	Vesting Percentage	 
	Prior to [Date 3 years from grant date]
	 	 	0	%
	On or after [Date 3 years from grant date]
	 	 	15	%
	On or after [Date 4 years from grant date]
	 	 	20	%
	On or after [Date 5 years from grant date]
	 	 	25	%
	On or after [Date 6 years from grant date]
	 	 	30	%
	On or after [Date 7 years from grant date]
	 	 	35	%
	On or after [Date 8 years from grant date]
	 	 	40	%
	On or after [Date 9 years from grant date]
	 	 	45	%
	On or after [Date 10 years from grant date]
	 	 	100	%

Any portion of the Award which is not vested on the date of termination of employment, or
determined to be vested by the Board in its sole discretion, shall be forfeited as of the date of
termination of employment. It shall be the responsibility of the Awardee to notify the Company of
any changes in address. As used in this Agreement, the term “parent” means any present or future
corporation which would be a “parent corporation” of the Company as defined in Section 424(e) of
the Internal Revenue Code and, “subsidiary” means any present or future corporation which would be
a “subsidiary corporation” of the Company as defined in Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue
Code.

          (c) Retirement. If Awardee is eligible to retire, defined herein as reaching age 55
with 10 or more years of service with the Company, its parent, or a subsidiary 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 Company in its sole discretion, or, (b) the Awardees death or Total and
Permanent Disability (as defined below), then this Award shall become vested on such termination
date in an amount equal to the greater of (i) such vesting as would have been determined by
assuming 30% of the Award vested on [date 3 years from grant date], and thereafter an additional
10% of the shares subject to this Award shall have become vested on each anniversary date of the
Award following [date 3 years from grant date] until such time as the Award became 100% vested on
the date 10 years after the anniversary of the original grant of this Award, or (ii) provided that
as of [date 3 years from grant date], the Awardee is still employed by the Company, and had been
continuously employed by the Company since the date this Award was granted, such vesting as would
have occurred had 10% of the Award been determined to be vested for each year of service the
Awardee provided to the Company, or (iii) in such greater amount as may be determined by the Board
in its sole discretion. In no event however shall any portion of this Award be considered vested
prior to the Awardee’s termination date. 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 a physical or
mental condition that results in a total and permanent disability to such extent that the
Participant is eligible for disability benefits under the federal Social Security Act.

 

 

          (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 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.

     7. 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 portion of this Award prior to its
distribution from the escrow established in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement, the
Company shall automatically reacquire such shares underlying the applicable portion of this Award,
and the Awardee shall not be entitled to any payment therefore (the “Company Reacquisition Right”).

     8. ESCROW. To ensure that shares of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock subject to
the Award, together with an Assignment Separate from Certificate with respect to such certificate
duly endorsed 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 with respect
to any shares underlying this Award, the Company shall give to the escrow agent a written notice
directing the escrow agent to deliver such shares of Common Stock to the Awardee. As soon as
practicable after receipt of such notice, the escrow agent shall deliver to the Awardee the shares
of Common Stock specified in such notice, and the Escrow shall terminate with respect to such
shares.

     9. 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 or
to release any shares from Escrow 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, 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 out of the Escrow, or (b) to
deduct from the shares of Common Stock to be distributed from the Escrow 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.

     10. 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.

     11. 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, any fractional shares resulting from adjustments will be settled in cash.

     12. 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.

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),

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

own all or substantially all of Qdoba Restaurant Corporation’s stock immediately prior to such
transaction), (ii) sale of all or substantially all of Qdoba Restaurant Corporation’s assets to any

	 	(2)	 	One third on _________.
	 
	 	(3)	 	One third on _________.

     4. EXERCISE DATES. Subject to the terms and conditions herein and in the Plan, the Option
shall become exercisable, on each of the dates and to the extent provided on each date as provided
in Paragraph 2 above. Fractional shares may not be purchased or delivered hereunder. Once

Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary for any reason other than for (i)
termination for cause, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, or (ii) Optionee’s
death or Total and Permanent Disability (as defined below), then this Option, subject to earlier
termination pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof, shall expire ninety days thereafter, and during such
period after Optionee ceases to be an employee, this Option shall be exercisable only as to those
shares, if any, with respect to which the Optionee could have exercised the option as of the date
of such cessation of employment.

          (c) After the Optionee is eligible to retire under a Company sponsored retirement plan, if
Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary for any reason other than (i)
termination for cause, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, or (ii) Optionee’s
death or Total and Permanent Disability (as defined below), then during such period after Optionee
ceases to be an employee, this Option shall be exercisable only as to those shares, if any, (A)
with respect to which the Optionee could have exercised as of the date of such cessation of
employment and (B) for each twelve full months during which Optionee was in the employ of the
Company, or a subsidiary an additional 5% of the shares granted, (total exercisable shares not to
exceed original grant amount), of this Option, provided all rights under such Option shall expire,
in any event, on the date specified in Paragraph 2 hereof.

          (d) If Optionee shall die while in the employment of the Company or a subsidiary, and such
deceased Optionee shall not have suffered Total and Permanent Disability within ninety days

 

 

prior to death, then this Option shall be exercisable by the person or persons to whom
Optionee’s rights under the Options all have passed by will or by applicable laws of descent and
distribution, as to all shares granted to Optionee without regard to exercise limitations as set
forth in Paragraph 2 hereof; provided, however, that all rights under such Option shall expire in
any event on the date specified in Paragraph 2 hereof.

          (e) If Optionee shall suffer Total and Permanent Disability while in the employment of the
Company or a subsidiary, this Option shall be exercisable only as to those shares which Optionee
could exercise as of twelve months following the Optionee’s first day of absence from work with the
Company or a subsidiary due to Total and Permanent Disability, provided, however, that all rights
under such Option shall expire in any event on the date specified in Paragraph 2 hereof. As used
in this Agreement “Total and Permanent Disability” is defined as a physical or mental condition
that results in a total and permanent disability to such extent that the person is eligible for
disability benefits under the federal Social Security Act.

     9. LEGALITY. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of the Option unless and until any then 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 compiled with. Upon exercise of the Option at a time
when there is not in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or any successor statute thereto, (the “Act”), relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise thereof, and available for delivery a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section
10(a)(3) of the Act, or if the rules and interpretations of the SEC so require, such shares may be
issued only if Optionee represents and warrants in writing to the Company that the shares are being
acquired for investment and not with view to the distribution thereof, and any certificated issued
upon exercise of the Option shall bear appropriate legends setting forth the restrictions on
transfer of such shares.

     10. BUY OUT OF OPTION GAINS. At any time after an Option becomes exercisable, the Committee
shall have the right to elect, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the holder
thereof, to cancel such Option and to pay to the Optionee the excess of the fair market value of
the shares of Common Stock covered by such Option over the Option Exercise Price of such option at
the date the Committee provides written notice (the “Buy Out Notice”) of the intention to exercise
such right. Buyouts pursuant to this provision shall be effected by the Company as promptly as
possible after the date of the Buy Out Notice. Payments of buy out amounts may be made in cash, in
shares of Common Stock, or partly in cash and partly in shares of Common Stock, as the Committee
deems advisable. To the extent payment is made in Common Stock, the number of shares shall be
determined by dividing the amount of the payment to be made by the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock at the date of the Buy Out Notice. In no event shall the Company be required to
deliver a fractional share of Common Stock in satisfaction of this buy out provision. Payments of
any such buy out amounts shall be made net of any applicable foreign, federal (including FICA),
state and local withholding taxes. For the purposes of this provision, fair market value shall be
equal to the average of the high and low prices at which a share of the Company Common Stock is
traded on the New York Stock Exchange on the relevant date.

     11. ADJUSTMENTS IN STOCK. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, if the outstanding shares of
the Company Common Stock of the class subject to this Option 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 Option and in the Option Exercise
Price, so that the total purchase price of the shares then subject to this Option shall remain
unchanged.

     12. TERMINATING TRANSACTIONS. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, this Option
shall terminate. Upon the occurrence of any (i) merger or 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 Option shall terminate unless provision be made in writing in connection with
such transaction for the assumption of the Option or the substitution for the Option of a new
option covering the 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 Option shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. If this
Option shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the person then entitled to exercise the
Option shall have the right, at such time immediately prior to the consummation of the Terminating
Transaction as the Company shall designate, to exercise this Option to the full extent not
theretofore exercised, including any installments previously not exercisable prior to the
Terminating Transaction. Adjustments under this section shall be made by the Committee, whose
determination as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof shall be conclusive. No
fractional shares of stock shall be issued under this Option or in connection with any such
adjustment.

     13. EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in the Plan or in this agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any
right to continue in the employment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

     14. PLAN CONTROLS. The Option 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 Optionee’s rights under this Option) 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.

     15. ARBITRATION. Any dispute or claim concerning any Options 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 Option, the Optionee and the Company waive their
respective rights to have any disputes or claims tried by a judge or jury.

     16. RESPONSIBILITY FOR EXERCISE. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that he or she is
responsible for taking any and all actions as may be required to exercise this Option in a timely
manner and for properly executing any such documents as may be required for exercise in accordance
with such rules and procedures as may be established by the Committee from time to time. By
signing this agreement the Optionee acknowledges that information regarding the procedures and
requirements for this exercise of the Option is available upon request. The Company shall have not
duty or obligation to notify the Optionee of the expiration date of this Option.

     17. LAWS GOVERNING. The Option and the Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

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

     19. OPTION AGREEMENT. This agreement has no cash value or other legal significance and the
entitlement of any rights here under shall be governed by the terms of the Plan and the books and
records maintained by the Company.

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Option to be executed on its behalf by its
President or one of its Vice Presidents and Optionee has hereunto set his hand on the day and year
first above written.
