Pursuant to the

Smart & Final Stores, Inc.

AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 8, 2017, between Smart & Final Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and, collectively with its controlled Affiliates, the “Employer”), and Derek Jones (the “Participant”).

Preliminary Statement

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Committee hereby grants shares of Common Stock as set forth below (the “Shares”) to the Participant, as an Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director, on December 8, 2017 (the “Grant Date”) pursuant to the Smart & Final Stores, Inc. Amended & Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”).  Pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Shares are subject to certain restrictions, which restrictions shall lapse at the times and upon achievement of the performance conditions specified in Section 2(c) hereof.  While such restrictions are in effect, the Shares subject to such restrictions shall be referred to herein as “Restricted Stock.”  Except as otherwise indicated, any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.  By signing and returning this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges having received and read a copy of the Plan and agrees to comply with it, this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.Grant of Shares.  Subject to the Plan and the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein, the Participant is hereby granted 61,452 Shares.

2.Restricted Stock.

(a)Retention of Certificates.  Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall issue stock certificates representing the Restricted Stock unless it elects to recognize such ownership through book entry or another similar method.  The stock certificates shall be registered in the Participant’s name and shall bear any legend required by the Plan.  Unless held in book entry form, such stock certificates shall be held in custody by the Company (or its designated agent) until the restrictions on the Restricted Stock shall have lapsed.  Upon the Company’s request, the Participant shall deliver to the Company a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock.  If the Participant receives, with respect to the Restricted Stock or any part thereof, any (i) dividend (whether paid in shares, securities, moneys or property), (ii) shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to any split, (iii) distribution or return of capital resulting from a split-up, reclassification or other like changes of the Restricted Stock or (iv) warrants, options or any other rights or properties (collectively “RS Property”), the Participant will also immediately deposit with and deliver to the Company any of such RS Property, including, upon the Company’s request, any certificates representing shares duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank.  The RS Property shall be subject to the same restrictions, including that of this Section 2(a), as the Restricted Stock with respect to which it is issued and shall be encompassed within the term “Restricted Stock.”  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any RS Property issued in the form of cash will not be reinvested in Common Stock and will be held until delivered to the Participant on the date the Restricted Stock becomes vested.

1

(b)Rights with Respect to Restricted Stock.  The Participant will have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock, to receive and retain any dividends payable to holders of Common Stock of record on and after the transfer of the Restricted Stock (although such dividends shall be treated, to the extent required by applicable law, as additional compensation for tax purposes if paid on Restricted Stock, and such dividends will be subject to the restrictions provided in Section 2(a)), and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to the Restricted Stock set forth in the Plan, with the exceptions that:  (i) the Participant will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall have expired; (ii) the Company (or its designated agent) will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (iii) no RS Property shall bear interest or be segregated in separate accounts during the Restriction Period; and (iv) the Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period.

(c)Vesting.

(i)The Restricted Stock shall vest and cease to be “Restricted Stock” on the later of (i) the third anniversary of the Grant Date and (ii) the date that the Committee certifies that the Company has achieved the EBITDA Growth Target as of the end of any fiscal quarter during the Performance Period (as defined below), provided, in each case, that the Participant has not incurred a Termination prior to such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the achievement of the EBITDA Growth Target as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter is determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the four fiscal quarters immediately preceding such date. The “Performance Period” means the period beginning on the first day of the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 and ending on the last day of the Company’s third quarter of fiscal year 2021, provided that the Committee may only certify that the EBITDA Growth Target has been achieved following the end of the Company’s third quarter of fiscal year 2020 or any later fiscal quarter during such period.

(ii)“EBITDA Growth Target”, as of any date of determination, means the Adjusted EBITDA targets, as set forth on Schedule A, for the four fiscal quarters of the Company immediately preceding such determination date.

2

(iii)“Adjusted EBITDA” means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense  as presented in the Company’s external financial reporting, but the Committee shall make  appropriate adjustments (solely to the extent consistent with the exemption under Section 162(m) for compensation intended to constitute performance-based compensation that is payable to a covered employee) relating to the following items: the expense or income effect of unusual items relating to strategic transaction costs, severance costs, discontinued operations, store closure costs and closed store costs, store pre-opening costs, non-cash rent expense or income, share-based compensation expense, unusual legal charges, charges related to debt extinguishment and refinancing, charges related to capital restructurings, asset impairment charges, gain or loss on asset sales, expenses associated with business optimization programs, changes in applicable law, rules, regulations or accounting principles, or charges for litigation, claims, judgments or settlements.

(iv)In all cases the Committee shall certify whether the Company has achieved the EBITDA Growth Target as soon as administratively feasible following the end of the quarter in which the EBITDA Growth Target is achieved but in no event more than 70 days following the end of such quarter.  If the Committee does not certify achievement of the EBITDA Growth Target, all Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall be forfeited 70 days following the end of the Performance Period.

(d)Detrimental Activity.

(i)In consideration for the grant of Restricted Stock and in addition to any other remedies available to the Company, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Stock is subject to the provisions in the Plan regarding Detrimental Activity.  If the Participant engages in any Detrimental Activity prior to, or during the one-year period after, any vesting of Restricted Stock, all unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited, without compensation, and the Committee shall be entitled to recover from the Participant (at any time within one year after such engagement in Detrimental Activity) an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of the vesting date(s) of any Restricted Stock that had vested in the period referred to above.

(ii)The restrictions regarding Detrimental Activity are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Participant to be reasonable for such purposes.  Without intending to limit the legal or equitable remedies available in the Plan and in this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that engaging in Detrimental Activity will cause the Company material irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such activity or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to the remedies provided under the Plan, to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Participant from engaging in Detrimental Activity or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in the Plan and this Agreement without the necessity of posting a bond, and in the case of a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, without having to prove special damages.

3

(e)Withholding.  Unless otherwise directed or permitted by the Committee, the Participant must pay or provide for all applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Restricted Stock by (i) remitting the aggregate amount of such taxes to the Company in full, by cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee, by making arrangements with the Company to have such taxes withheld from other compensation due to the Participant.

(f)Section 83(b).  If the Participant properly elects (as permitted by Section 83(b) of the Code) within 30 days after the Grant Date to include in gross income for federal income tax purposes in the year of issuance the fair market value of all or a portion of such Restricted Stock, the Participant shall be solely responsible for any foreign, federal, state, provincial or local taxes the Participant incurs in connection with such election.  The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s, to file timely and properly the election under Section 83(b) of the Code and any corresponding provisions of state tax laws if the Participant elects to utilize such election.

3.Legend.  All certificates representing the Restricted Stock shall have endorsed thereon the following legend:

(a)“The anticipation, alienation, attachment, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge of the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the Smart & Final Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) Amended & Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), and an Award Agreement entered into between the registered owner and the Company. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the principal office of the Company.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be obligated to issue a certificate representing the Restricted Stock prior to the vesting dates set forth above.

4.Termination.

(a)Termination by Death or Disability.  If the Participant’s Termination is by reason of death or Disability during the Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall immediately vest and cease to be “Restricted Stock.”

(b)Termination for Any Reason Other than Death or Disability.  If the Participant’s Termination is for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability during the Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall be forfeited.

5.Change in Control.  The provisions in the Plan regarding Change in Control shall apply to the Shares.

6.Restriction on Transfer of Shares.  The provisions in the Plan regarding Transfer Restrictions shall apply to the Shares.

If and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.
