Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Non-employee members of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Shake Shack Inc. (the “Company”) shall be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation as set forth in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (this “Policy”). The cash and equity compensation described in this Policy shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Non-Employee Director”), who may be eligible to receive such cash or equity compensation, unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company.

No Non-Employee Director shall have any rights hereunder, except with respect to non-qualified stock options (“Options”) granted pursuant to this Policy.
