ENTRY INTO OR AMENDMENT OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT ---------------------------------------------------------- Jack in the Box Inc. (the "Company") is filing this amendment to its current report on Form 8-K filed May 17, 2006, to provide a correct description of a provision that was incorrect in the exhibit "Compensation and Benefits Assurance Agreement," (the "Exhibit") filed as a part of that report. The Compensation and Benefits Assurance Agreement provides for certain benefits in the event of termination of employment following a change in control of the Company. The Exhibit, Section 2.3. (c), incorrectly provided for the computation of a portion of severance payment by multiplying the appropriate multiple for the executive as specified in the agreement by the greater of (i) the bonus percentage in the prior year or (ii) the bonus amount paid for the fiscal year immediately prior to the change in control. The correct provision should state that computation of a portion of severance payment will be made by multiplying the appropriate multiple for the executive as specified in the agreement by the greater of (i) the average bonus percentage for the last three years prior to the change-in-control effective date or (ii) the average dollar amount of bonus paid for the last three years prior to the change in control. If the executive does not have three full years of bonus prior to the change in control, the Company will substitute the target bonus percentage for each missing year. The effect of the correct provision will not be known until it is triggered, if ever; however, it is expected to reduce the impact of unusually high and unusually low bonus payments. For example, if severance were computed under the correct provision for a change in control occurring in fiscal year 2006, the severance amount would be less than an amount computed using only the most recent year's bonus amount. The above brief summary is qualified in its entirety by the corrected form of Compensation and Benefits Assurance Agreement, which will be attached as an exhibit to the Company's Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
