(a)    Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Option will vest and become exercisable as set forth in the Grant Notice; provided, that no portion of the Option shall vest and become exercisable as to any additional Shares following the termination of the Optionee’s Employment for any reason, and the portion of the Option that is unvested and unexercisable as of the date of such termination shall immediately expire without consideration or payment therefor.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee in writing or provided in the Stockholders Agreement, the Optionee is the only Person that may exercise the exercisable portion of the Option, unless and until the Optionee dies or suffers a Disability. After the Disability or death of the Optionee, the exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2 hereof, be exercised by the Optionee’s personal representative, guardian or by any person empowered to do so under the Optionee’s will or under the then Applicable Laws of descent and distribution.

2

Section 4.2. Partial Exercise

Any exercisable portion of an Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2 hereof; provided, that any partial exercise shall be for whole Shares only.

Section 4.3. Manner of Exercise

Any exercisable portion of the Option may be exercised solely by delivering to the Office of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2 hereof:

(a)    notice in writing signed by the Optionee or the other Person then entitled to exercise the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee;

(b)    full payment of the aggregate Option Price for the Shares with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised, pursuant to one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash (by check or wire transfer or a combination of the foregoing), or (ii) at the Optionee’s election, a reduction in the number of Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Option having an aggregate fair market value based on the FMV per Share on the date of exercise equal to such aggregate Option Price;

(c)    a bona fide written representation and agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other Person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the Shares are being acquired for the Optionee’s own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said Shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act;

(d)    unless already delivered, a written instrument (a “Joinder”) pursuant to which the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company;

(e)    full payment to the Company or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, of all amounts which, under federal, state, local and/or non-U.S. law, such entity is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; provided, that, at the Optionee’s election, such withholding obligation may be satisfied by the Company withholding from the Shares otherwise issuable to the Optionee that number of Shares having an aggregate fair market value based on the FMV per Share, determined as of the date the withholding tax obligation arises, equal to such withholding tax obligation (but in no event more than the minimum required tax withholding); and

3

(f)    in the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof by any Person or Persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such Person or Persons to exercise the Option.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any subsequent transfer of Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement and the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of Shares acquired on exercise of the Option does not violate the Securities Act, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such Shares. The written representation and agreement referred to in subsection (c) above shall, however, not be required if the subsequent transfer of the Shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise has been registered under the Securities Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such Shares.

Section 4.4. Conditions to Issuance of Shares

The Company shall not be required to record the ownership by the Optionee of Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a)    the obtaining of approval or other clearance from any federal, state, local or non-U.S. governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable (and the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek such approval or other clearance);

(b)    the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience (not to exceed three (3) business days) or as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law; and

(c)    the execution and delivery of the Joinder by the Optionee to the extent the Optionee is not already party to the Stockholders Agreement.

Section 4.5. Rights as Stockholder

The Optionee shall not be, and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, stockholders of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable in connection with the Option or any portion thereof unless and until a book entry representing such Shares has been made on the books and records of the Company.

ARTICLE V

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

Section 5.1. Non- Competition

The Optionee shall not at any time during Employment directly or indirectly through an Affiliate or otherwise, own any direct or indirect interest in, manage, control, serve as a director of, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in any Competitive Business (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may own

4

securities in any Competitive Business or affiliate of a Competitive Business that is a publicly held corporation, but only to the extent that such Optionee does not own, of record or beneficially, more than 1% (one percent) of the outstanding beneficial ownership of any such Competitive Business or affiliate. The parties intend that this non-competition provision shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county, state and political subdivision.

Section 5.2. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information

The Optionee must maintain all “Confidential Information” (as defined below) in confidence and must not disclose any Confidential Information to anyone outside of the Company Group; and the Optionee must not at any time use any Confidential Information for the benefit of the Optionee or any third party. Nothing in this Agreement, however, prohibits the Optionee from: (1) disclosing any information (or taking any other action) in furtherance of the Optionee’s duties to the Company Group while employed by any member of the Company Group; or (2) disclosing Confidential Information to the extent required by law (after giving prompt notice to the Company in order that the Company Group may attempt to obtain a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such information). Upon the Company’s request at any time, the Optionee must immediately deliver to the Company all tangible items in the Optionee’s possession or control that are or that contain Confidential Information, without keeping any copies.

Section 5.3. Non-Solicitation; No-Hire and Non-Interference

At all times during Employment and for the one-year period following termination of Employment for any reason or no reason (the “Restricted Period”), the Optionee covenants and agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, director, employee, partner, stockholder, member, proprietor, consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any other capacity, (i) use any of the Company’s Confidential Information to solicit any Persons who are customers of the Company Group, to purchase other than from the Company any goods or services sold by the Company Group relating to the Business or (ii) use any of the Company’s Confidential Information to take any action to discourage any Persons who are, or within the one-year period immediately preceding the date of termination of Employment, were, suppliers of the Company Group, from doing business with the Company Group. In addition, at all times during Employment and the Restricted Period, the Optionee covenants and agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, director, employee, partner, stockholder, member, proprietor, consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any other capacity, hire or solicit to perform services (as an employee, consultant or otherwise) or take any actions which are intended to persuade any termination of association with any member of the Company Group (as applicable) any Persons who are, or within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the solicitation were, employed by the Company Group; provided, however, that (A) solicitation or hiring by the Optionee or the Optionee’s affiliates of an immediate family member of the Optionee shall not constitute a violation of this Section 5.3 and (B) general solicitations of employment published in a journal, newspaper or other publication of general circulation or listed on any internet job site and not specifically directed towards such employees shall not be deemed to constitute solicitation for purposes of this Section 5.3 and the hiring of any person as a result of such permitted solicitations shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.3.

5

Section 5.4. Intellectual Property

(a)    If the Optionee has created, invented, designed, developed, contributed to or improved any works of authorship, inventions, intellectual property, materials, documents or other work product (including without limitation, research, reports, software, databases, systems, applications, presentations, textual works, content, or audiovisual materials) (“Works”), either alone or with third parties, prior to the start of Optionee’s Employment, that are relevant to or implicated by such Employment (“Prior Works”), the Optionee hereby grants the Company and its Affiliates a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, assignable, sublicensable license under all rights and intellectual property rights (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) therein for all purposes in connection with the Company and its Affiliate’s current and future business.

(b)    If the Optionee creates, invents, designs, develops, contributes to or improves any Works, either alone or with third parties, at any time during the Optionee’s Employment and within the scope of such Employment and/or with the use of any Company (or its Affiliate’s) resources (“Company Works”), the Optionee shall promptly and fully disclose such works to the Company and hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, and conveys, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and intellectual property rights therein (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) to the Company and its Affiliates to the extent ownership of any such rights does not vest originally in the Company or its Affiliates. The Optionee agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other form or media requested by the Company) of all Company Works. The records will be available to and remain the sole property and intellectual property of the Company and its Affiliates at all times.

(c)    The Optionee shall take all requested actions and execute all requested documents (including any licenses or assignments required by a government contract) at the Company’s expense (but without further remuneration) to assist the Company in validating, maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or registering any of the Company’s or its Affiliate’s rights in the Prior Works and Company Works. If the Company is unable for any reason to secure the Optionee’s signature on any document for this purpose, then the Optionee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Optionee’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on the Optionee’s behalf to execute any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts in connection with the foregoing.

Section 5.5. Reasonableness of Restrictions

By virtue of the Optionee’s Employment, the Optionee acknowledges that, during the period of Employment, the Optionee will have access to the Confidential Information, will meet and develop relationships with the Company Group’s potential and existing customers, and will receive specialized training in, and knowledge of, the Business. The Optionee specifically acknowledges and agrees that the time, geographic and activity restrictions (as applicable) set forth in this Article V are reasonable and properly required for the protection of the Company Group. Should a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator determine that the duration or

6

geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Article V be in excess of that which is found to be valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be reformed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which is considered valid and enforceable. In the event that such provision is deemed incapable of reformation, such invalid or unenforceable part of such provision shall be considered deleted from this Agreement and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction, this Agreement (or provision thereof) shall remain valid and enforceable in each other jurisdiction where it applies.

Section 5.6. Effect of Optionee’s Employment Agreement and Restrictive Covenant Agreement

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, if the Optionee is subject to a more restrictive non-competition, non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-interference, or non-disparagement covenant in any Employment Agreement or other restrictive covenant agreement, the most restrictive of such non-competition, non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-interference, or non-disparagement covenant shall apply; it being understood that the activities which the Optionee is prohibited from engaging in contained herein or in such other Employment Agreement or other restrictive covenant agreement shall be deemed to apply for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 5.7. Definitions

(a)    “Company Group” means individually and collectively the Company and its Affiliates.

(b)    “Competing Grocery Store” means any grocery store, mass merchandise or other store (excluding any convenience store with limited grocery offerings such as a gas station or Seven Eleven store but, for the avoidance of doubt, including Walmart Neighborhood Stores, Aldi and similar stores) that sells (x) discount groceries, or (y) grocery merchandise sourced through opportunistic buying, in each case, that is located within five (5) miles of any grocery store operated by the Company or its subsidiaries or by a Grocery Outlet independent operator as of the Closing Date.

Section 4.2. Partial Exercise

Any exercisable portion of an Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2 hereof; provided, that any partial exercise shall be for whole Shares only.

Section 4.3. Manner of Exercise

Any exercisable portion of the Option may be exercised solely by delivering to the Office of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2 hereof:

(a)    notice in writing signed by the Optionee or the other Person then entitled to exercise the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee;

(b)    full payment of the aggregate Option Price for the Shares with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised, pursuant to one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash (by check or wire transfer or a combination of the foregoing), or (ii) at the Optionee’s election, a reduction in the number of Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Option having an aggregate fair market value based on the FMV per Share on the date of exercise equal to such aggregate Option Price;

(c)    a bona fide written representation and agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other Person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the Shares are being acquired for the Optionee’s own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said Shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act;

(e)    full payment to the Company or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, of all amounts which, under federal, state, local and/or non-U.S. law, such entity is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; provided, that, at the Optionee’s election, such withholding obligation may be satisfied by the Company withholding from the Shares otherwise issuable to the Optionee that number of Shares having an aggregate fair market value based on the FMV per Share, determined as of the date the withholding tax obligation arises, equal to such withholding tax obligation (but in no event more than the minimum required tax withholding); and

3

(f)    in the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof by any Person or Persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such Person or Persons to exercise the Option.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any subsequent transfer of Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement and the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of Shares acquired on exercise of the Option does not violate the Securities Act, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such Shares. The written representation and agreement referred to in subsection (c) above shall, however, not be required if the subsequent transfer of the Shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise has been registered under the Securities Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such Shares.

Section 4.4. Conditions to Issuance of Shares

The Company shall not be required to record the ownership by the Optionee of Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a)    the obtaining of approval or other clearance from any federal, state, local or non-U.S. governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable (and the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek such approval or other clearance);

(b)    the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience (not to exceed three (3) business days) or as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law; and

(c)    the execution and delivery of the Joinder by the Optionee to the extent the Optionee is not already party to the Stockholders Agreement.

Section 4.5. Rights as Stockholder

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

The Optionee shall not at any time during Employment directly or indirectly through an Affiliate or otherwise, own any direct or indirect interest in, manage, control, serve as a director of, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any manner engage in any Competitive Business (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may own

4

securities in any Competitive Business or affiliate of a Competitive Business that is a publicly held corporation, but only to the extent that such Optionee does not own, of record or beneficially, more than 1% (one percent) of the outstanding beneficial ownership of any such Competitive Business or affiliate. The parties intend that this non-competition provision shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county, state and political subdivision.

Section 5.2. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information

The Optionee must maintain all “Confidential Information” (as defined below) in confidence and must not disclose any Confidential Information to anyone outside of the Company Group; and the Optionee must not at any time use any Confidential Information for the benefit of the Optionee or any third party. Nothing in this Agreement, however, prohibits the Optionee from: (1) disclosing any information (or taking any other action) in furtherance of the Optionee’s duties to the Company Group while employed by any member of the Company Group; or (2) disclosing Confidential Information to the extent required by law (after giving prompt notice to the Company in order that the Company Group may attempt to obtain a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such information). Upon the Company’s request at any time, the Optionee must immediately deliver to the Company all tangible items in the Optionee’s possession or control that are or that contain Confidential Information, without keeping any copies.

Section 5.3. Non-Solicitation; No-Hire and Non-Interference

At all times during Employment and for the one-year period following termination of Employment for any reason or no reason (the “Restricted Period”), the Optionee covenants and agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, director, employee, partner, stockholder, member, proprietor, consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any other capacity, (i) use any of the Company’s Confidential Information to solicit any Persons who are customers of the Company Group, to purchase other than from the Company any goods or services sold by the Company Group relating to the Business or (ii) use any of the Company’s Confidential Information to take any action to discourage any Persons who are, or within the one-year period immediately preceding the date of termination of Employment, were, suppliers of the Company Group, from doing business with the Company Group. In addition, at all times during Employment and the Restricted Period, the Optionee covenants and agrees that the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, as an officer, director, employee, partner, stockholder, member, proprietor, consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any other capacity, hire or solicit to perform services (as an employee, consultant or otherwise) or take any actions which are intended to persuade any termination of association with any member of the Company Group (as applicable) any Persons who are, or within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the solicitation were, employed by the Company Group; provided, however, that (A) solicitation or hiring by the Optionee or the Optionee’s affiliates of an immediate family member of the Optionee shall not constitute a violation of this Section 5.3 and (B) general solicitations of employment published in a journal, newspaper or other publication of general circulation or listed on any internet job site and not specifically directed towards such employees shall not be deemed to constitute solicitation for purposes of this Section 5.3 and the hiring of any person as a result of such permitted solicitations shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.3.

Section 5.4. Intellectual Property

(a)    If the Optionee has created, invented, designed, developed, contributed to or improved any works of authorship, inventions, intellectual property, materials, documents or other work product (including without limitation, research, reports, software, databases, systems, applications, presentations, textual works, content, or audiovisual materials) (“Works”), either alone or with third parties, prior to the start of Optionee’s Employment, that are relevant to or implicated by such Employment (“Prior Works”), the Optionee hereby grants the Company and its Affiliates a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, assignable, sublicensable license under all rights and intellectual property rights (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) therein for all purposes in connection with the Company and its Affiliate’s current and future business.

(b)    If the Optionee creates, invents, designs, develops, contributes to or improves any Works, either alone or with third parties, at any time during the Optionee’s Employment and within the scope of such Employment and/or with the use of any Company (or its Affiliate’s) resources (“Company Works”), the Optionee shall promptly and fully disclose such works to the Company and hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers, and conveys, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and intellectual property rights therein (including rights under patent, industrial property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, unfair competition and related laws) to the Company and its Affiliates to the extent ownership of any such rights does not vest originally in the Company or its Affiliates. The Optionee agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other form or media requested by the Company) of all Company Works. The records will be available to and remain the sole property and intellectual property of the Company and its Affiliates at all times.

(c)    The Optionee shall take all requested actions and execute all requested documents (including any licenses or assignments required by a government contract) at the Company’s expense (but without further remuneration) to assist the Company in validating, maintaining, protecting, enforcing, perfecting, recording, patenting or registering any of the Company’s or its Affiliate’s rights in the Prior Works and Company Works. If the Company is unable for any reason to secure the Optionee’s signature on any document for this purpose, then the Optionee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Optionee’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on the Optionee’s behalf to execute any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts in connection with the foregoing.

Section 5.5. Reasonableness of Restrictions

By virtue of the Optionee’s Employment, the Optionee acknowledges that, during the period of Employment, the Optionee will have access to the Confidential Information, will meet and develop relationships with the Company Group’s potential and existing customers, and will receive specialized training in, and knowledge of, the Business. The Optionee specifically acknowledges and agrees that the time, geographic and activity restrictions (as applicable) set forth in this Article V are reasonable and properly required for the protection of the Company Group. Should a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator determine that the duration or

6

geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Article V be in excess of that which is found to be valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be reformed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which is considered valid and enforceable. In the event that such provision is deemed incapable of reformation, such invalid or unenforceable part of such provision shall be considered deleted from this Agreement and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction, this Agreement (or provision thereof) shall remain valid and enforceable in each other jurisdiction where it applies.

Section 5.6. Effect of Optionee’s Employment Agreement and Restrictive Covenant Agreement

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, if the Optionee is subject to a more restrictive non-competition, non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-interference, or non-disparagement covenant in any Employment Agreement or other restrictive covenant agreement, the most restrictive of such non-competition, non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-interference, or non-disparagement covenant shall apply; it being understood that the activities which the Optionee is prohibited from engaging in contained herein or in such other Employment Agreement or other restrictive covenant agreement shall be deemed to apply for purposes of this Agreement.
