Services Agreement—Schedule I

Accounting Services

Services:

Chart A below details the Accounting Services and related service levels (subject to Chipotle system obligations, as discussed below). The Accounting Services are anticipated to be provided by the McDonald's personnel located at the McDonald's accounting center in Columbus, Ohio.

Chipotle shall remain responsible for all accounting policy decisions. McDonald's will be responsible for incorporating accounting policies into the functions performed for Chipotle. McDonald's will provide input on proposed accounting policy changes. McDonald's will escalate to appropriate Chipotle management any exceptions to accounting policies.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Schedule I, all losses, costs and expenses relating to any accounting or processing errors in the delivery of the Accounting Services by McDonald's shall be borne by Chipotle.

Billing Methodology:

McDonald's will charge Chipotle a "fully-loaded all-in" charge for delivery of the Accounting Services. This "fully-loaded all-in" charge is intended to reimburse McDonald's for all costs incurred by McDonald's in the delivery of the Accounting Services, including, without limitation, related McDonald's employee costs (salary and benefits), office and occupancy costs, travel costs, computer and related technology equipment costs, and non-cash charges (such as depreciation). This "fully-loaded all-in" charge is not intended to provide a profit to McDonald's. In the event that McDonald's ceases to own, directly or indirectly, shares of Common Stock representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding Common Stock (and Chipotle continues to receive the Accounting Services from McDonald's under the terms of this Agreement), the amount that would otherwise be charged by McDonald's to Chipotle for delivery of the Accounting Services shall be increased by ten percent (10%), which amount is intended to provide a profit margin to McDonald's for the delivery of the Accounting Services.

For calendar year 2006, the charge for Accounting Services shall be billed to Chipotle on a per store basis at a charge of $4920.00 per year (or $410 per month) per store (the "Per Store Fee"). For each calendar year after 2006, the Per Store Fee shall be calculated by dividing the projected "fully-loaded all-in" costs of delivering the Accounting Services for such calendar year (the "Projected Costs") by the projected average number of Chipotle stores for such calendar year (the "Projected Stores"), which amount can be divided again by twelve (12) to obtain the per month per store amount. In consultation with Chipotle, McDonald's shall calculate the Projected Costs and Projected Stores in good faith exercising McDonald's' reasonable judgment. McDonald's and Chipotle agree to cooperate in business and efficiency initiatives to improve service and reduce costs.

Term; Termination of Accounting Services:

Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Agreement or as set forth below, the Accounting Services shall have an initial term expiring on December 31, 2007, and will be renewed automatically thereafter for successive two (2) year terms unless either Chipotle or McDonald's elects not to renew the Accounting Services upon not less than fifteen (15) months' written notice prior to any such renewal.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, either Party may terminate the Accounting Services at any time on fifteen (15) months' prior written notice to the other Party.

Oracle tables are copied to this Warehouse so that business rules can be applied to flag exceptions for research and resolution.
System Response Obligations |  | Chipotle agrees to respond to System issues that impact McDonald's service levels as follows: * Production down problems—acknowledge receipt of issue within 1 business hour (close), 4 business hours (other).

Services Agreement—Schedule II

Insurance Services

Services:

McDonald's will negotiate and develop property and casualty insurance programs, terms, coverages, and premiums for Chipotle, including the following categories of insurance:

Fiduciary Liability
Crime
Internet Liability
All Risk Property, including Earthquake and Flood
Umbrella Liability & Excess Liability
General Liability
Workers Compensation
Auto Liability and Physical Damage

In addition, McDonald's will:

(a)
  interface with the Network, Gallagher Bassett and other insurance service providers on behalf of Chipotle as reasonably requested by Chipotle;
(b)
  enter Chipotle store and office locations into the SOCS system; and
(c)
  provide advice on insurance, risk management and claims matters as reasonably requested by Chipotle.

Billing Methodology:

The amounts to be paid by Chipotle to McDonald's for the Insurance Services are intended to represent the pass-through to Chipotle of costs incurred by McDonald's on Chipotle's behalf.

With regard to (i) Fiduciary Liability, (ii) Crime, (iii) Internet Liability, (iv) All Risk Property, including Earthquake and Flood, and (v) Umbrella Liability & Excess Coverage insurances, these coverages consist of policies of insurance naming McDonald's and its subsidiaries as insureds (the "McDonald's Policies"). Based on McDonald's' current level of ownership of Chipotle, Chipotle participates as an insured subsidiary under the McDonald's Policies. A portion of the premiums paid by McDonald's for the McDonald's Policies will be allocated to Chipotle (the "Chipotle Allocation"). For the policy period from November 1, 2005 through October 31, 2006, the Chipotle Allocation shall be $645,000.00, which amount shall be paid in full immediately upon execution of this Agreement. For each policy period thereafter, McDonald's shall calculate the Chipotle Allocation in good faith exercising McDonald's' reasonable judgment and, when feasible, considering advice from insurance companies and other relevant, disinterested third parties.

With regard to (x) General Liability, (y) Workers Compensation, and (z) Auto Liability and Physical Damage insurances, these coverages are included in stand-alone programs arranged specifically for Chipotle and billed directly to Chipotle. As such, McDonald's will collect no fees or costs from Chipotle in connection with these programs.

Term; Termination of Insurance Services:

The policies of insurance contemplated by the Insurance Services expire on October 31stof each calendar year, and, as such, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Agreement or as set forth below, the Insurance Services shall have an initial term expiring on October 31, 2006, and will be renewed automatically thereafter for successive one (1) year terms unless either Chipotle or

15

McDonald's elects not to renew the Insurance Services upon not less than six (6) months' written notice prior to any such renewal.

The Insurance Services are subject to early termination by either Chipotle or McDonald's at any time on or after an Ownership Reduction Date, provided the terminating party has provided not less than sixty (60) days' written notice of such termination. The required sixty (60) days' written notice may be provided before or after the Ownership Reduction Date, so long as (i) the termination date is no earlier than the Ownership Reduction Date and (ii) the period between the date of notice and the termination date is at least sixty (60) days.

On and after the Closing Date, subject to regulatory requirements, McDonald's will continue to provide Benefits Services to and in respect of Chipotle employees with reference to McDonald's Plans as it administered the plans prior to the Closing Date. The McDonald's Plans for purposes of this Agreement are as follows:

The reimbursement for The McDonald's Corporation Health Plan for Chipotle Employees shall be a monthly premium determined actuarially on an annual basis to reflect (a) the prior year's claims experience, (b) risk assumption, (c) plan design, (d) demographic and geographic adjustments, and (e) vendor, legal, benefits accounting, administrative and consulting fees for services on behalf of Chipotle employees for the upcoming year.

It is the express intent of the Parties that Service Costs relating to the administration of the McDonald's Plans and the performance of related Services will not exceed reasonable compensation for such Services as defined in 29 CFR Section 2550.408c-2.

In addition, costs associated with certain McDonald's Plans will be paid in part through employee payroll deductions for such McDonald's Plans.

Term; Termination of Benefits Services:

Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Agreement or as set forth below, the Benefits Services shall have an initial term expiring on December 31, 2006, and will be renewed automatically thereafter for successive one (1) year terms unless either Chipotle or McDonald's elects not to renew the Benefits Services upon not less than six (6) months' written notice prior to any such renewal.

The Benefits Services are subject to early termination by either Chipotle or McDonald's at any time on or after an Ownership Reduction Date, provided the terminating party has provided not less than sixty (60) days' written notice of such termination. The required sixty (60) days' written notice may be provided before or after the Ownership Reduction Date, so long as (i) the termination date is no earlier than the Ownership Reduction Date and (ii) the period between the date of notice and the termination date is at least sixty (60) days.
