Ladies and Gentlemen:

Grocery Outlet Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the persons listed in Schedules ▇-▇, ▇-▇ and B-3 hereto (the “Selling Shareholders”) confirm their respective agreements with BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofAS”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“Deutsche Bank”) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLC (“Jefferies”) and each of the other Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters,” which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 11 hereof), for whom BofAS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Deutsche Bank and Jefferies are acting as representatives (in such capacity, the “Representatives”), with respect to (i) the sale by the Selling Shareholders, acting severally and not jointly, and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the respective numbers of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company set forth in Schedules A and B hereto and (ii) the grant by H&F Globe Investor LP to the Underwriters of the option described in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any part of [●] additional shares of Common Stock. The aforesaid [●] shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Securities”) to be purchased by the Underwriters and all or any part of the [●] shares of Common Stock subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Option Securities”) are herein called, collectively, the “Securities.”

The Company and the Selling Shareholders understand that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as the Representatives deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-[●]), including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses, covering the registration of the sale of the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430A (“Rule 430A”) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) and Rule 424(b) (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. The information included in such prospectus that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of such registration statement at the time it became effective pursuant to Rule 430A(b) is herein called the “Rule 430A Information.” Such registration statement, including the amendments thereto, the exhibits thereto and any schedules thereto, at the time it became effective, and including the Rule 430A Information, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement” and, after such filing, the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. Each prospectus used prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and each prospectus that omitted the Rule 430A Information that was used after such effectiveness and prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” The final prospectus, in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, is herein called the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system or any successor system (“▇▇▇▇▇”).

“Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors (other than a “bona fide electronic road show,” as defined in Rule 433 (the “Bona Fide Electronic Road Show”)), as evidenced by its being specified in Schedule C-2 hereto.

(xix)    Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company and its subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate Governmental Entities necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, except where the failure so to possess would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any written notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(xx)    Title to Property. The Company and its subsidiaries do not own any real property.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of or is otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or circumstances which would form a reasonable basis to render any Intellectual Property invalid, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity, singly or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed by them pursuant to applicable state or local law, and to the Company’s knowledge, foreign or other law, except insofar as the failure to file such returns would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company and its subsidiaries, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been established by the Company or any assessments that would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional income tax for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”)), its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i)    against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included (A) in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or (B) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities (“Marketing Materials”), including any road show or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically), or the omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)    against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 7(e) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company and the Selling Shareholders;

(iii)    against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, the General Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(b)    Indemnification of Underwriters by Selling Shareholders. Each Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its Affiliates and selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the extent and in the manner set forth in clauses (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) above; provided, that any Selling Shareholder shall be liable only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, or in any preliminary prospectus, or the Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any roadshow or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereof or supplement thereto in

25

reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Shareholders Information provided by such Selling Shareholder; provided, further, that the liability under this subsection of such Selling Shareholder shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before expenses, to such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Securities sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder.

(c)    Indemnification of Company, Directors, Officers and Selling Shareholders. Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and each Selling Shareholder and each person, if any, who controls any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, the General Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(d)    Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) and 7(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(c) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company or the Selling Shareholders, as applicable. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 or Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e)    Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 7, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

26

(f)    Other Agreements with Respect to Indemnification. The provisions of this Section shall not affect any separate, valid agreement among the Company and the Selling Shareholders with respect to indemnification.

SECTION 8.    Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders, as applicable, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions, or in connection with any violation of the nature referred to in Section 7(f) hereof, which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders, as applicable, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, on the other hand, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.

The relative fault of the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders, as applicable, or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, each Selling Shareholder’s obligations to contribute any amount under this paragraph is limited in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7(b) hereof and in no event shall the aggregate liability of such Selling Shareholder under this Section 8 and Section 7 hereof exceed the limit set forth in Section 7(b) hereof.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter’s Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or such Selling Shareholder, as the case may be. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the number of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.

The provisions of this Section shall not affect any separate, valid agreement among the Company and the Selling Shareholder(s) with respect to contribution.

SECTION 9.    Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Selling Shareholders submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors, any person controlling the Company or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 10.    Termination of Agreement.

(a)    Termination. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, in the judgment of the Representatives, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering contemplated hereby or to enforce contracts for sales of the Securities, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or The Nasdaq Global Select Market, or (iv) if trading generally on The Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b)    Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 5 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 11.    Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(i)    if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(ii)    if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase, and the Company to sell, the Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, either (i) the Representatives or (ii) the Company and any Selling Shareholder shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 11.

SECTION 12.    Default by one or more of the Selling Shareholders. If a Selling Shareholder shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery, as the case may be, to sell and deliver the number of Securities which such Selling Shareholder or Selling Shareholders are obligated to sell hereunder, and the remaining Selling Shareholders do not exercise the right hereby granted to increase, pro rata or otherwise, the number of Securities to be sold by them hereunder to the total number to be sold by all Selling Shareholders as set forth in Schedule B hereto, then the Underwriters may, at option of the Representatives, by notice from the Representatives to the Company and the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders, either (i) terminate this Agreement without any liability on the fault of any non-defaulting party except that the provisions of Sections 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 hereof shall remain in full force and effect or (ii) elect to purchase the Securities which the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders have agreed to sell hereunder. No action taken pursuant to this Section 12 shall relieve any Selling Shareholder so defaulting from liability, if any, in respect of such default.

In the event of a default by any Selling Shareholder as referred to in this Section 12, each of the Representatives, the Company and the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or any Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required change in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

Each of the Company and each Selling Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering of the Securities and the process leading thereto, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any Selling Shareholder, or its respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Selling Shareholder with respect to the offering of the Securities or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any Selling Shareholder on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or any Selling Shareholder with respect to the offering of the Securities except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of each of the Company and each Selling Shareholder, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering of the Securities and the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders has consulted its own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

(a)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Grocery Outlet Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and H&F Globe Investor LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “H&F Selling Stockholder”), in connection with the purchase by you of an aggregate of [●] shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company from the H&F Selling Stockholder, the management selling stockholders listed in Schedule B(I) to the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below) (the “Management Stockholders”) and the other selling stockholders listed in Schedule B(II) to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Other Selling Stockholders” and, collectively with the H&F Selling Stockholder and the Management

Stockholders, the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated October [●], 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and you (the “Underwriters”).

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-[●]) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); the preliminary prospectus dated October [●], 2019 relating to the Shares (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the time the Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act; the prospectus dated October [●], 2019 relating to the Shares (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act; the Underwriting Agreement; and each custody agreement and power of attorney (collectively, the “Custody Agreements”) between each of the Management Stockholders [and the Other Selling Stockholders], American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as custodian (the “Custodian”), and the attorneys-in-fact named therein, relating to the Shares to be sold to the Underwriters by such Management Stockholders and Other Selling Stockholders. We also have examined a specimen certificate representing the Common Stock. We have relied as to matters of fact upon the representations and warranties contained in the Underwriting Agreement and each of the Custody Agreements. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents delivered to you at the closing and upon originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the H&F Selling Stockholder and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

In addition, in connection with our opinion set forth in paragraph 5 below, we have assumed that (i) The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”), and the State of New York is the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” of DTC for purposes of Section 8-110 of the New York UCC, (ii) the Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, (iii) DTC indicates by book entries on its books that security entitlements with respect to [●] shares of Common Stock have been credited to the Underwriters’ securities account and (iv) the Underwriters are purchasing such security entitlements without notice of any adverse claim (within the meaning of the New York UCC).

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that (1) each of the Other Selling Stockholders is validly existing and in good standing under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has validly authorized, executed and delivered its Custody Agreement in accordance with its organizational documents and the law of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and (2) the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company and each Selling Stockholder of the Underwriting Agreement and its Custody Agreement, as applicable, do not constitute a breach or default under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon the Company or any such Selling Stockholder (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the agreements and instruments listed on Schedule I hereto).

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.    The Company is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the law of the State of Delaware. The Company has full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.

2.    The H&F Selling Stockholder is validly existing and in good standing as a limited partnership under the law of the State of Delaware and has full partnership power and authority to sell the Shares to be sold by the H&F Selling Stockholder.

3.    The Company has the authorized Common Stock and preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the heading “Capitalization.”

4.    The Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

5.    Upon payment and transfer in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters will acquire security entitlements with respect to [●] shares of Common Stock and no action based on an adverse claim may be asserted against the Underwriters with respect to such security entitlements to the extent that the Underwriters’ rights are governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC.

6.    The statements made in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain terms of the capital stock (including the Shares) of the Company, constitute accurate summaries of such terms in all material respects.

7.    The statements made in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income and Estate Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain provisions of U.S. federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of such matters in all material respects.

8.    The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or each of the Company and the H&F Selling Stockholder.

9.    The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement will not breach or result in a default under any loan agreement or other agreement or instrument identified on Schedule I hereto, nor will such action violate the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company or any federal or New York State statute or the Delaware General Corporation Law or any rule or regulation that has been issued pursuant to any federal or New York State statute or the Delaware General Corporation Law, except that it is understood that no opinion is given in this paragraph 9 with respect to any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any federal or state securities law.

10.    The sale of the Shares by the H&F Selling Stockholder and the execution, delivery and performance by the H&F Selling Stockholder of the Underwriting Agreement will not violate the Certificate of Formation or the Limited Partnership Agreement of the H&F Selling Stockholder or any U.S. federal or New York State statute or the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or any rule or regulation that has been issued pursuant to any U.S. federal or New York State statute or the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, except that it is understood that no opinion is given in this paragraph 10 with respect to any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any federal or state securities law.

11.    No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or qualification with any federal or New York State governmental agency or body or any Delaware State governmental agency or body acting pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law or, to our knowledge, any federal or New York State court or any Delaware State court acting pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement, except that it is understood that no opinion is given in this paragraph 11 with respect to any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any federal or state securities law.

12.    No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or qualification with any federal or New York State governmental agency or body or any Delaware State governmental agency or body acting pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or, to our knowledge, any federal or New York State court or any Delaware State court acting pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act is required for the sale of the Shares sold by the H&F Selling Stockholder and the execution, delivery and performance by the H&F Selling Stockholder of the Underwriting Agreement, except that it is understood that no opinion is given in this paragraph 12 with respect to any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any federal or state securities law

13.    The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and the Prospectus was filed on [●], 2019 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued or proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

14.    There are no preemptive rights under federal or New York State law or under the Delaware General Corporation Law to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock. Except as disclosed in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, there are no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, the Shares pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or any agreement or other instrument identified on Schedule I hereto.

15.    There are no contracts or agreements identified on Schedule I hereto between the Company and any other person granting such person the right (other than rights which have been waived or satisfied) to require the Company to include any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such person in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.

16.    The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of and subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

17.    Each Custody Agreement to which any of the Management Stockholders is a party has been executed and delivered by such Management Stockholder in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 9, 10, 11 and 12 above are limited to our review of only the statutes, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are customarily applicable to transactions of the type provided for in the Underwriting Agreement and exclude statutes, rules and regulations that are part of a regulatory scheme applicable to any party or any of their affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliates. No opinion is expressed in paragraph 9 above as to compliance with any financial or accounting test, or any limitation or restriction expressed as a dollar (or other currency) amount, or based in whole or in part, on a ratio or percentage in any of the agreements or instruments identified on Schedule I hereto.

Insofar as our opinions relate to the valid existence and good standing of the Company and the H&F Selling Stockholder, such opinions are based solely on confirmation from public officials and certificates of officers of the Company and the H&F Selling Stockholder.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York, the federal law of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.

[See Attached]

[●], 2019

BofA Securities, Inc.

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC

as Representatives of the several Underwriters

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Dear Sirs:

The undersigned, a stockholder and/or an officer or director of Grocery Outlet Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofAS”) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”), as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company and the Selling Shareholders providing for the public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (such common stock, the “Common Stock” and such public offering, the “Offering”). In recognition of the benefit that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder and/or an officer or director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each Underwriter to be named in the Underwriting Agreement that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 90 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of BofAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-up Securities, or file, cause to be filed or cause to be confidentially submitted any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

[If any holder or holders of any Lock-Up Securities is granted an early release from the restrictions described herein during the Lock-Up Period with respect to any Lock-Up Securities having a fair market value in excess of $1.0 million in the aggregate (whether in one or multiple releases), then each of the Major Holders (as defined below) shall also be granted an early release from their respective obligations hereunder on a pro rata basis based on the maximum percentage of Lock-Up Securities held by any such holder or holders being released from such holder’s lock-up agreement; provided, however, that in the

D-6

case of an early release from the restrictions described herein during the Lock-Up Period in connection with an underwritten public offering, whether or not such offering or sale is wholly or partially a secondary offering of the Company’s Common Stock (an “Underwritten Sale”), such early release shall only apply with respect to such Major Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Sale. For purposes of this lock-up agreement, each of the following persons is a “Major Holder”: the H&F Stockholders and the Executive/Read Trust Stockholders (as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated June 19, 2019, among the Company and the other parties thereto) (for purposes of determining the number of Lock-Up Securities beneficially owned by a holder, all Lock-Up Securities held by investment funds affiliated with such stockholder shall be aggregated).] ¹

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of BofAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, provided that (1) in the case of any transfer described in clauses (i) though (v) below, BofAS and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ receive a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) in the case of any transfer described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (xiii) below, any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, provided that in no event shall any transfer pursuant to such clauses in respect of any carry, distribution or dividend or any Company reorganization, merger or conversion be deemed to involve a disposition for value, (3) in the case of any transfer described in clauses (ii), (iii), (ix) and (x) below, such transfers are not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), during the Lock-Up Period, and (4) in the case of any transfer described in clauses (i) through (v), (ix) and (xii) below, the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or public report regarding such transfer during the Lock-Up Period:

D-7

D-8

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

If for any reason (1) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by the parties thereto prior to December 16, 2019, (2) the Underwriting Agreement is terminated (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) after execution but prior to the Closing Time (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), (3) the Company files an application with the SEC to withdraw the registration statement with respect to the Offering, or (4) the Company notifies the Underwriters in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, this lock-up agreement shall automatically be terminated and become null and void.

Very truly yours,
