2018 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
Fiscal Year Ending March 25, 2018

Plan Purpose

The Nathan’s Famous, Inc. 2018 Management Incentive Plan (“Plan”) provides for certain employees of Nathan’s Famous, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries who are executive officers and are designated (the “Covered Employees”) to receive annual incentive awards (“Awards”) based on the achievement of specific goals and objectives as established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Compensation Committee has delegated the authority with respect to the Plan to its Performance-Based Compensation Subcommittee (the “Committee”). The Plan has been adopted pursuant to the authority granted to the Committee under the Nathan’s Famous, Inc. Code Section 162(m) Bonus Plan and accordingly no stockholder approval is required to approve the Plan.

Plan Administration

By virtue of the authority delegated to the Committee, the Committee shall have the exclusive power and authority, in its discretion, to: (i) interpret the Plan; (ii) approve the designation of Covered Employees eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) set the performance criteria and performance period for Awards within the Plan guidelines; (iv) certify attainment of performance goals and other material terms; (v) reduce Awards as provided herein; (vi) authorize the payment of all benefits and expenses of the Plan as they become payable under the Plan; (vii) adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; and (viii) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or desirable for the Plan’s administration including, without limitation, correcting any defect, supplying any omission or reconciling any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to carry the Plan into effect, but only to the extent any such action would be permitted under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Covered Employees whether or not such Covered Employees are similarly situated.

All decisions of the Committee on any question concerning the designation of Covered Employees and the interpretation and administration of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties. The Committee may rely on information, and consider recommendations, provided by the Board or the executive officers of the Company. The Plan is intended to comply with Code Section 162(m), and all provisions contained herein shall be limited, construed and interpreted in a manner to comply therewith.

In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board, members of the Committee who administer the Plan shall be defended and indemnified by the Company, to the extent permitted by law, on an after-tax basis against (i) all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award awarded hereunder and (ii) all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that within 30 days after the institution of such claim, investigation, action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at the Company’s expense to defend the same.
