For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means (i) a material breach by Executive of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) a material and willful violation by Executive of any of the Policies (as defined in Section 12); (iii) the failure by Executive to reasonably and substantially perform his duties hereunder (other than as a result of physical or mental illness or injury); (iv) Executive’s willful misconduct or gross negligence that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the business, reputation or prospects of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (v) Executive’s fraud or misappropriation of funds; or (vi) the commission by Executive of a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude; provided that in the case of any breach of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) that is curable, no termination there under shall be effective unless the Company shall have given Executive notice of the event or events constituting Cause and Executive shall have failed to cure such event or events within thirty (30) business days after receipt of such notice. If, in the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company Without Cause (as defined in subsection (c) below) and, on or before the 12-month anniversary of the applicable Date of Separation from Service of such termination Without Cause, it is determined in good faith by the Board that Executive’s employment could have been terminated for Cause under clauses (iv), (v) or (vi) hereof, Executive’s employment shall, at the election of the Board, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause, effective as of the date of the occurrence of the events giving rise to the Cause termination. Upon such determination, the Company shall (x) immediately cease paying any termination benefits pursuant to Section 9 hereof and (y) Executive shall be obligated to immediately repay to the Company all amounts theretofore paid to Executive pursuant to Section 9. In addition, if not repaid, the

Company shall have the right to set off, in accordance with (and to the extent permitted by) Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, from any amounts otherwise due to Executive any amounts previously paid pursuant to Section 9(f) (other than the Accrued Obligations).

A “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice stating that Executive or the Company, as the case may be, is electing to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company (and thereby terminating the Employment Period), stating the proposed

effective date of such termination, indicating the specific provision of this Section 8 under which such termination is being effected and, if applicable, setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances claimed to provide the basis for such termination.

(ii) Date of Separation from Service. The term “Date of Separation from Service” shall mean, with respect to Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company, (A) if the Separation from Service occurs due to Executive’s death, the date of his death, (B) if the Separation from Service occurs due to termination of Executive’s employment by the Company by reason of Executive’s Disability, a date which is at least six (6) months following the occurrence of the event giving rise to the Disability, (C) if the Separation from Service occurs due to termination of Executive’s employment by Executive for any reason, a date which is at least 30 days following the issuance of the Notice of Termination and (D) if the Separation from Service occurs due to termination of Executive’s employment for any other reason, the effective date of termination specified in such Notice of Termination.

(D) at the discretion of the Company, the services of an outplacement agency as selected by and for such period of time as determined by the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company; provided that in no event will the duration of such outplacement services exceed the Severance Period and that any reimbursement to be paid by the Company for such services will be made by the end of the year following the year in which the Date of Separation from Service occurs.

Executive shall not have a duty to mitigate the costs to the Company under this Section 8(f)(i), nor shall any payments from the Company to Executive of pursuant to this Section 8(f) be reduced, offset or canceled by any compensation or fees earned by (whether or not paid currently) or offered to Executive during the Severance Period by a subsequent employer or other Person (as defined in Section 19(l) below) for which Executive performs services, including but not limited to consulting services. The foregoing notwithstanding, should Executive receive or be offered health or medical benefits coverage during the Severance Period by a subsequent employer or Person for whom Executive performs services, Executive shall notify the Company of this within seven (7) business days of such receipt or offer, as applicable, and all similar health and medical benefits coverage provided by the Company to Executive shall terminate as of the effective date of such new coverage.

(ii) In the event of Executive’s Separation from Service due to a termination of his employment (x) upon his death or (y) by the Company for Cause or as a result of Executive’s Disability or (z) by Executive without Good Reason, in any such case during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to Executive (or, in the event of Executive’s death, to his estate) the Accrued Obligations within thirty (30) days following the Date of Separation from Service. In addition, if Executive’s employment shall terminate upon his death or be terminated by the Company as a result of Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to Executive (or, in the event of Executive’s death, to his estate) the Pro-Rata Bonus, if any, in one lump sum on the Bonus Payment Date for the fiscal year of the Company that includes the Date of Separation from Service, but in no event later than two and a half (2¹/2) months following the end of the applicable fiscal year in which such Annual Bonus was earned.

9. Restrictive Covenants. Each of the Company and Executive agrees that the Executive will have a prominent role in the management of the business, and the development of the goodwill, of the Company and its Affiliates, and will establish and develop relations and contacts with the principal franchisees, customers and suppliers of the Company and its Affiliates throughout the world, all of which constitute valuable goodwill of, and could be used by Executive to compete unfairly with, the Company and its Affiliates. In addition, Executive recognizes that he will have access to and become familiar with or exposed to Confidential Information (as

such term is defined below), in particular, trade secrets, proprietary information, customer lists, and other valuable business information of the Company pertaining or related to the quick service restaurant business. Executive agrees that Executive could cause grave harm to the Company if he, among other things, worked for the Company’s competitors, solicited the Company’s employees away from the Company or solicited the Company’s franchisees upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or misappropriated or divulged the Company’s Confidential Information, and that as such, the Company has legitimate business interests in protecting its good will and Confidential Information, and, as such, these legitimate business interests justify the following restrictive covenants:

(a) Confidentiality.

(i) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement, including all addendums and attachments hereto, are confidential. Except as required by law or the requirements of any stock exchange, Executive agrees not to disclose any information contained in this Agreement to anyone, other than to Executive’s lawyer, financial advisor or immediate family members. If Executive discloses any information contained in this Agreement to his lawyer, financial advisor or immediate family members as permitted herein, Executive agrees to immediately tell each such individual that he or she must abide by the confidentiality restrictions contained herein and keep such information confidential as well.

(ii) Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company and thereafter, Executive will not, directly or indirectly (A) disclose any Confidential Information to any Person (other than, only with respect to the period that Executive is employed by the Company, to an employee or outside advisor of the Company who requires such information to perform his or her duties for the Company), or (B) use any Confidential Information for Executive’s own benefit or the benefit of any third party. “Confidential Information” means confidential, proprietary or commercially sensitive information relating to (Y) the Company or its Affiliates, or members of their respective management or boards or (Z) any third parties who do business with the Company or its Affiliates, including franchisees and suppliers. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, marketing plans, business plans, financial information and records, operation methods, personnel information, drawings, designs, information regarding product development, other commercial or business information and any other information not available to the public generally. The foregoing obligation shall not apply to any Confidential Information that has been previously disclosed to the public or is in the public domain (other than by reason of a breach of Executive’s obligations to hold such Confidential Information confidential). If Executive is required or requested by a court or governmental agency to disclose Confidential Information, Executive must notify the General Counsel of the Company of such disclosure obligation or request no later than three (3) business days after Executive learns of such obligation or request, and permit the Company to take all lawful steps it deems appropriate to prevent or limit the required disclosure.

(b) Non-Competition. Executive agrees that during his employment with the Company, Executive shall devote all of his skill, knowledge, commercial efforts and business time to the conscientious and good faith performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company to the best of his ability and Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, be employed by, render services for, engage in business with or serve as an agent or consultant to any Person other than the Company. Executive further agrees that during his employment with the Company and for the period of one (1) year following Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company, Executive shall not directly or indirectly engage in any activities that are competitive with the quick service restaurant business conducted by the Company, and Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, become employed by, render services for, engage in business with, serve as an agent or consultant to, or become a partner, member, principal, stockholder or other owner of, any Person or entity that engages in the quick serve restaurant business, provided that Executive shall be permitted to hold a one percent (1%) or less interest in the equity or debt securities of any publicly traded company. Executive’s duties and responsibilities involve, and/or will affect, the operation and management of the Company on a worldwide basis. Executive will obtain Confidential Information that will affect the Company’s operations throughout the world. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges that the Company has legitimate business interests in requiring a worldwide geographic scope and application of this non-compete provision, and agrees that this non-compete provision applies on a worldwide basis.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Employees and Franchisees. During the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and for the one (1)-year period following Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, by himself or through any third party, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other Person or entity, (i) solicit or induce or endeavor to solicit or induce, divert, employ or retain, (ii) interfere with the relationship of the Company or any of its Affiliates with, or (iii) attempt to establish a business relationship of a nature that is competitive with the business of the Company with any Person that is or was (during the last twelve (12) months of Executive’s employment with the Company) (A) an employee of the Company or engaged to provide services to it, or (B) a franchisee of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

10. Work Product. Executive agrees that all of Executive’s work product (created solely or jointly with others, and including any intellectual property or moral rights in such work product), given, disclosed, created, developed or prepared in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, whether ensuing during or after Executive’s employment with the Company (“Work Product”) shall exclusively vest in and be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and shall constitute “work made for hire” (as that term is defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101) with the Company being the person for whom the work was prepared. In the event that any such Work Product is deemed not to be a “work made for hire” or does not vest by operation of law in the Company, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys to the Company, exclusively and perpetually, all right, title and interest which Executive may have or acquire in and to such Work Product

throughout the world, including without limitation any copyrights and patents, and the right to secure registrations, renewals, reissues, and extensions thereof. The Company and its Affiliates or their designees shall have the exclusive right to make full and complete use of, and make changes to all Work Product without restrictions or liabilities of any kind, and Executive shall not have the right to use any such materials, other than within the legitimate scope and purpose of Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company the creation or existence of any Work Product and shall take whatever additional lawful action may be necessary, and sign whatever documents the Company may require, in order to secure and vest in the Company or its designee all right, title and interest in and to all Work Product and any intellectual property rights therein (including full cooperation in support of any Company applications for patents and copyright or trademark registrations).

11. Return of Company Property. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall return to the Company all of the property of the Company and its Affiliates, including without limitation all materials or documents containing or pertaining to Confidential Information, and including without limitation, any Company car, all computers (including laptops), cell phones, keys, PDAs, Blackberries, credit cards, facsimile machines, televisions, card access to any Company building, customer lists, computer disks, reports, files, e-mails, work papers, Work Product, documents, memoranda, records and software, computer access codes or disks and instructional manuals, internal policies, and other similar materials or documents which Executive used, received or prepared, helped prepare or supervised the preparation of in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company.

13. Data Protection & Privacy.

(a) Executive acknowledges that the Company, directly or through its Affiliates, collects and processes data (including personal sensitive data and information retained in email) relating to Executive. Executive hereby agrees to such collection and processing and further agrees to execute the Burger King Corporation Employee Consent to Collection and Processing of Personal Information, a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Attachment 1, unless a previously executed copy of such Consent is on file with the Company.

(b) To ensure regulatory compliance and for the protection of its workers, customers, suppliers and business, the Company reserves the right to monitor, intercept, review and access telephone logs, internet usage, voicemail, email and other communication facilities provided by the Company which Executive may use during his employment with the Company. Executive hereby acknowledges that all communications and activities on Company equipment or premises cannot be presumed to be private.

14. Injunctive Relief with Respect to Covenants; Forum, Venue and Jurisdiction. Executive acknowledges and agrees that a breach by Executive of any of Section 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13 is a material breach of this Agreement and that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Company and its Affiliates in the event of such breach, and, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the Company, Executive agrees to the granting of injunctive relief in the Company’s favor in connection with any such breach or violation without proof of irreparable harm, plus attorneys’ fees and costs to enforce these provisions. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s obligations to pay Executive any amount or provide Executive with any benefit or right pursuant to Section 8 is subject to Executive’s compliance with Executive’s obligations under Sections 9 through 13 inclusive, and that in the event of a breach by Executive of any of Section 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13, the Company shall immediately cease paying such benefits and Executive shall be obligated to immediately repay to the Company all amounts theretofore paid to Executive pursuant to Section 8. In addition, if not repaid, the Company shall have the right to set off, in accordance with (and to the extent permitted by) Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, from any amounts otherwise due to Executive any amounts previously paid pursuant to Section 8(f) (other than the Accrued Obligations). Executive further agrees that the foregoing is appropriate for any such breach inasmuch as actual damages cannot be readily calculated, the amount is fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company would suffer irreparable harm if any of these Sections were breached. All disputes not relating to any request or application for injunctive relief in accordance with this Section 14 shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 19(b).

15. Assumption of Agreement. The Company shall require any Successor thereto, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement.

16. Indemnification. The Company agrees both during and after the Employment Period to indemnify Executive to the fullest extent permitted by its Certificate of Incorporation (including payment of expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding) against actions or inactions of Executive during the Employment Period as an officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of any of the foregoing.

The Company also agrees to provide Executive with directors and officers insurance coverage both during and, with regard to matters occurring during the Employment Period, after the Employment Period. Such coverage shall be at a level at least equal to the level being maintained at such time for the then current officers and directors or, if then being maintained at a higher level with regard to any prior period activities for officers or directors during such prior period, such higher amount with regard to Executive’s activities during such prior period.

17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. All prior correspondence and proposals (including but not limited to summaries of proposed terms) and all prior promises, representations, understandings, arrangements and agreements relating to such subject matter (including but not limited to those made to or with Executive by any other Person and those contained in any prior employment, consulting or similar agreement, including the Original Agreement, entered into by Executive and the Company or any predecessor thereto or Affiliate thereof) are merged herein and superseded hereby.

18. Survival. The following Sections shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and of this Agreement: 8(f), 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18 and 19.

19. Miscellaneous.

(a) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and its Successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall also be binding on and inure to the benefit of Executive and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, provided, however, that the Company may effect such an assignment without prior written approval of Executive upon the transfer of all or substantially all of its business and/or assets (by whatever means), provided that the Successor to the Company shall expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.

(b) Arbitration. The Company and Executive agree that any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect at the time of the arbitration. The arbitration shall be held in Miami, Florida. The dispute shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator selected from a list of arbitrators who are members of AAA’s Regional Employment Dispute Resolution roster. If the parties cannot agree upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator from the list, each party shall number the names in order of preference and return the list to AAA within ten (10) days from the date of the list. A party may strike a name from the list only for good cause. The arbitrator receiving the

highest ranking by the parties shall be selected. Depositions, if permitted by the arbitrator, shall be limited to a maximum of two (2) per party and to a maximum of four (4) hours in duration. The arbitration shall not impair either party’s right to request injunctive or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement.

(c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without reference to principles of conflicts of laws.

(d) Taxes. The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law.

(e) Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is approved in writing by the Board or a Person authorized thereby and is agreed to in writing by Executive. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between or among the parties hereto or from any failure by any party hereto to assert its rights hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions.

(f) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby. In the event that one or more terms or provisions of this Agreement are deemed invalid or unenforceable by the laws of Florida or any other state or jurisdiction in which it is to be enforced, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to duration or geographic scope of activities restricted, or for any other reason, the provision in question shall be immediately amended or reformed to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable by the court of such jurisdiction charged with interpreting and/or enforcing such provision. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the provision in question, as so amended or reformed, shall be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable portion had never been included herein.

(g) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered under this Agreement shall be (i) in writing, (ii) delivered personally, by courier service or by certified or registered mail, first-class postage prepaid and return receipt requested, (iii) deemed to have been received on the date of delivery or, if mailed, on the third business day after the mailing thereof, and (iv) addressed as follows (or to such other address as the party entitled to notice shall hereafter designate in accordance with the terms hereof):
