This Amendment (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of November 2, 2016, by and between Whole Foods Market Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Employer”), and Walter E. Robb, IV (the “Covered Executive”).
WHEREAS, the Employer and the Covered Executive have entered into the Whole Foods Executive Retention Plan and Non-Compete Arrangement Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2012 (the “Plan Agreement”);
WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, Whole Foods Market, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and the Covered Executive are entering into a Separation, Consulting, and Noncompetition Agreement pursuant to which the Covered Executive shall, among other things, resign as Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of December 31, 2016 (the “Resignation”); and
