XXXXXXXXXXXX RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Registration Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 25, 2014 by and among The Habit Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), KarpReilly Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“KarpReilly”), and each Stockholder party hereto as listed on the signature pages to this Agreement or becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 4.1 (each, individually, a “Stockholder” and together, the “Stockholders”).

RECITALS

1. The Company is contemplating an underwritten Initial Public Offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock (as defined below) registered on Form S-1 under the Securities Act (the “IPO”).

2. In connection with the IPO, the parties hereto have agreed to set forth their agreements regarding registration rights with respect to the Common Stock and certain other matters following the IPO.

AGREEMENT

Therefore, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

EFFECTIVENESS; DEFINITIONS.

1.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon consummation of the closing of the IPO (the “Closing”).

1.2 Definitions. Certain terms are used in this Agreement as specifically defined herein. These definitions are set forth or referred to in Section 6 hereof.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

The Company will perform and comply, and cause each of its subsidiaries to perform and comply, with such of the following provisions as are applicable to it. Each Holder will perform and comply with such of the following provisions as are applicable to such Holder.

2.1 Demand Registration Rights. The KarpReilly Parties, at any time more than 180 days after the Initial Public Offering may, by written notice to the Company, request that the Company effect the registration for a Public Offering of Registrable Shares having an anticipated net aggregate offering price of at least $10,000,000 ($25,000,000 in the case of an underwritten offering) (for the avoidance of doubt, the KarpReilly Parties may deliver a demand for registration under this Section 2.1 whether or not the KarpReilly Parties own Registrable Shares at the time of such request). If the KarpReilly Party initiating the registration intends to distribute the Registrable Shares in an underwritten offering, it will so advise the Company in their request. Promptly after receipt of notice requesting registration pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Shares.

-1-

Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.1.1, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Shares that the Company has been requested to register by the KarpReilly Party requesting such registration and all other Registrable Shares that the Company has been requested to register by other holders of Registrable Shares by notice delivered to the Company within 20 days after the giving of such notice by the Company.

2.1.1 Limitations. The Company will not be required to effect more than five registrations at the request of a KarpReilly Party; provided, that, the KarpReilly Party shall be charged with a request only if a Registration Statement covering at least 25% of the applicable Registrable Shares shall have been declared effective by the SEC and remained effective for not less than one hundred eighty (180) days. If from the time of any request to register Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1 to but not including the date when such registration becomes effective, the Company is engaged or has firm plans to engage within 90 days of the time of such request in a registered public offering as to which the holders may include Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.2, then the Company may, at its option, decline such request.

2.2 Piggyback Registration Rights.

2.2.1 Piggyback Registration. Whenever the Company (for itself or for any other Stockholder) proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act on a form of Registration Statement that would allow registration of Registrable Shares for sale to the public (except with respect to Registration Statements on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or their respective successor forms) the Company will, prior to such filing, give written notice to each Stockholder of the Company’s intention to so register. Upon the written request of any Stockholder given within 10 days after the Company provides such notice, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause all of such parties’ requested Registrable Shares to be registered under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration proposed pursuant to this Section 2.2 without obligation to any Stockholder.

2.2.2 Selection of Underwriter. In the case of any offering under this Section 2.2 involving an underwriting, the Board shall have the right to designate the managing underwriter; provided, however, that such managing underwriter shall be an investment bank of national reputation.

2.2.3 Allocation of Shares. In connection with any offering under this Section 2.2 involving an underwriting, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Shares in such underwriting unless the holders thereof accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it. Further, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that, in its view, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, the Company will include in such registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: first, so many shares of Common Stock proposed to be registered by the Company (for itself or for any other Stockholder pursuant to a Demand Notice) as would not cause the offering to exceed the Maximum Offering Size; and

-2-

second, any Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by the Stockholders, allocated, if necessary, pro rata on the basis of their relative number of Registrable Shares so held.

2.2.4 Registration and Offering Procedures. In connection with the registration of Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company shall:

(a) Prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective.

(b) Following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission any amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the Registrable Shares requested to be registered thereunder are sold; provided further that the Company shall promptly amend, renew or replace, as necessary, any Registration Statement that shall have expired or otherwise been deemed unusable and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such amended, renewed or replaced Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the Registrable Shares requested to be registered thereunder are sold.

(c) Furnish to each selling Stockholder such reasonable numbers of copies of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the selling Stockholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such selling Stockholder;

(d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly remove restrictive legends from any Registrable Shares to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(e) Use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as the selling Stockholder shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to enable the selling Stockholder to consummate the public sale or other disposition within such states of the Registrable Shares owned by the selling Stockholder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection with this paragraph (e) to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction, execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, or subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction;

(f) Enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably

-3-

required in order to expedite or facilitate the sale of such Registrable Shares, including without limitation providing reasonable access for due diligence, including such information in the prospectus as is reasonably requested by the managing underwriter and making management available to participate in a “roadshow” as reasonably requested by the managing underwriter;

(g) To the extent practicable, provide legal opinions covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the holders of Registrable Shares and the underwriter, and an auditor’s “comfort letter” addressed to the selling Stockholder;

(h) Following a Public Offering , provide adequate current public information necessary for compliance with Rule 144(c) of the Securities Act; and

(i) Otherwise cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the holders of Registrable Shares in connection with such registration.

2.2.5 Amended Prospectus. If the Company has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to the selling Stockholders and after having done so the prospectus is amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly notify the selling Stockholders and, if requested, the selling Stockholders shall immediately cease making offers of Registrable Shares and return all prospectuses to the Company. The Company shall promptly provide the selling Stockholders with revised prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised prospectuses and compliance with any related requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the selling Stockholders shall be free to resume making offers of the Registrable Shares. Any period during which a prospectus is unusable pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be added to the 180-day period in Section 2.2.4(b).

2.2.6 Allocation of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses in complying with this Article II, including all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing, messenger and delivery expenses, applicable stock exchange fees, fees of accountants for the Company, fees and disbursements of counsel of the Company and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by the holder(s) of a majority of the Registrable Shares included in such registration, state securities or blue sky reasonable fees and expenses, the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration, any fees and disbursements customarily paid by the issuers of securities and expenses incurred in connection with any road show (including the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the selling Stockholders) but excluding underwriting discounts, selling commissions or any other brokerage or underwriting fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the selling Stockholders’ own counsel (other than the one counsel selected as provided above and, if an additional counsel to certain selling Stockholders is used that is also counsel to the Company, such counsel).

-4-

2.3 Short-Form Registration.

2.3.1 Request for Short-Form Registration. At any time following the one-year anniversary of the Closing, the KarpReilly Parties shall have the right to make a written request to the Company to register, and the Company shall register in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the sale of the number of Registrable Shares stated in such request under the Securities Act on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration (other than a Shelf Registration) (a “Short-Form Registration”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such demand for a Short-Form Registration (i) if the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Shares to be sold in such offering (including piggyback shares and before deduction of any underwriting discounts or commissions) is not reasonably expected to be at least $25,000,000 or (ii) within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Short-Form Registration or other previous registration in which the Holders of Registrable Shares were given piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2. Each request for a Short-Form Registration by the KarpReilly Parties shall state the amount of the Registrable Shares proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof.

If on the date of the request for Short Form Registration: (i) the Company is a WKSI, then the Short Form Registration request may request Registration of an unspecified amount of Registrable Securities; and (ii) the Company is not a WKSI, then the Short Form Registration request shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered. The Company shall provide to the KarpReilly Parties the information necessary to determine the Company’s status as a WKSI upon request.

2.4 Exchange Registration.

2.4.1 Mandatory Exchange Registration. At such time as the Company first becomes eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, the Company shall as promptly as practicable file with the SEC and use reasonable best efforts to cause to be promptly declared effective under the Securities Act a Registration Statement (“Exchange Registration Statement”) for the Exchange of all of the shares of Class B Common Stock together with all of Common Units held by the Stockholders for shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to Section 3.9 of the LLC Agreement. Such Registration pursuant to this Section 2.4, including as amended, renewed or replaced as provided herein, shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Exchange Registration.” Should the Company fail to file an Exchange Registration Statement within 15 months of the closing date of the IPO, the Founding Member shall have the right to deliver a written notice to the Company to require the Company to file such Exchange Registration Statement.

2.4.2 Continued Effectiveness; Renewal and Replacement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date as of which no Stockholder holds Class B Common Stock or Common Units. In addition, the Company shall promptly amend, renew or replace, as necessary, any Exchange Registration Statement that shall have expired or otherwise been deemed unusable and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such amended, renewed or replaced Exchange Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date as of which no Stockholder holds Class B Common Stock or Common Units.

-5-

2.4.3 Suspension of Registration. If the continued use of the Exchange Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or if the Company is not then eligible to file an Exchange Registration Statement on Form S-3, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Managers, suspend use of the Exchange Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise such a suspension in the event of an Adverse Disclosure (i) more than one time during any twelve (12)-month period, or (ii) for a period exceeding thirty (30) days on any one occasion.

2.5 Secondary Offering. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement are not eligible to be made as a secondary offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a bona fide secondary offering. In the event that the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure that the Registration Statement is deemed a secondary offering (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder. Any cut-back imposed pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be allocated among the Holders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of shares that such Holders have requested to be included in such Registration Statement, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the participating Holders otherwise agree. From and after the date that the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions, all of the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares.”

2.6 Indemnification and Contribution.

2.6.1 Indemnities by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each seller of Registrable Shares, each underwriter of Registrable Shares, and each other person, if any, who controls any such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such seller, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities or blue sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement including such Registrable Shares, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or any other disclosure document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and, the Company will reimburse each such seller, underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such seller, underwriter or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such

-6-

loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (a) any untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, relating to such seller by or on behalf of such seller, underwriter or controlling person specifically for use in the preparation thereof or (b) the failure of such seller to deliver copies of the prospectus in the manner required by the Securities Act.

2.6.2 Indemnities to the Company. Each seller of Registrable Shares, severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally), will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter, if any, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, state securities or blue sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or any other disclosure document, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company relating to such seller by or on behalf of such seller, specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment, supplement or other disclosure document; provided, however, that the obligations of an Stockholder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to the Stockholder arising from the sale of Registrable Shares as contemplated herein.

2.6.3 Notice of Claims. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.6.3 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) within a reasonable period of time after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, however, that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be withheld unreasonably). The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the

-7-

claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

2.6.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for herein is for any reason unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, the sellers of Registrable Shares and any underwriter in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, the sellers of Registrable Shares and any underwriter will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and sellers of Registrable Shares agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.6.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding sentence will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.6.4, no seller of Registrable Shares will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Shares of such seller of Registrable Shares was offered to the public (less underwriters discounts and commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages which such seller of Registrable Shares has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

2.7 Certain Other Provisions.

2.7.1 Information by Holder. Each holder of Registrable Shares included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such holder and the distribution proposed by such holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing if it is required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Article II.

-8-

2.7.2 Lock-Up. Each Stockholder, if requested by the Board and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, shall agree pursuant to a written agreement not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Shares or other securities of the Company held by such Stockholder for a specified period of time (not longer than seven days) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement and for a specified period of time (not longer than 180 days) following the effective date of a Registration Statement; provided, however, that such agreement shall not apply to any Registrable Shares (or other securities of the Company) held by such In Stockholder if they are included in the Registration Statement. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares or other securities subject to the foregoing restrictions, until the end of the lock-up period. The written agreement referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.7.2 is in addition to and not in replacement of other transfer restrictions contained in this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

REMEDIES.

3.1 Generally. The parties shall have all remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise in the event of any breach or violation of this Agreement or any default hereunder. The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies which may be available, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the obligations of the other parties hereto and, in addition, to such other equitable remedies (including preliminary or temporary relief) as may be appropriate in the circumstances.

ARTICLE IV

PERMITTED REGISTRATION RIGHTS ASSIGNEES.

4.1 Permitted Registration Rights Assignees. The rights of a Stockholder hereunder to cause the Company to register its Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations as set forth below) in connection with a Transfer of such Shares effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a Permitted Registration Rights Assignee of such Holder. Without prejudice to any other or similar conditions imposed hereunder with respect to any such Transfer, no assignment permitted under the terms of this Section 4.1 shall be effective unless the Permitted Registration Rights Assignee, if not a Stockholder, has delivered to the Company a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the Shares in respect of which such assignment is made shall continue to be deemed Shares and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement relating to Shares and that such Permitted Registration Rights Assignee shall be bound by, and shall be a party to, this Agreement. A Permitted Registration Rights Assignee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Section 4.1 may not again Transfer such rights to any other Permitted Registration Rights Assignee, other than as provided in this Section 4.1.

Each such Amendment shall be binding upon each party hereto and each holder of Shares subject hereto. In addition, each party hereto and each holder of Shares subject hereto may waive any right hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party or holder.

5.3 Effect of Termination. No termination under this Agreement shall relieve any Person of liability for breach prior to termination.
