TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE

OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

Vesting.

This Option will vest and become exercisable on the “Vesting Date” set forth in this Award Agreement. Any portion of this Option that becomes exercisable in accordance with the foregoing will remain exercisable until the Expiration Date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the Plan or this Award Agreement (including, without limitation, the section below entitled “Termination”). Subject to the section below entitled “Termination,” this Option may be exercised only while you are in continuous Service with the Company. Prior to the exercise of this Option, you will not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to this Option or the Shares subject thereto.

Method of Exercise.

This Option will be exercisable pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee and communicated to you. No Shares will be delivered pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless (i) you have complied with your obligations under this Award Agreement, (ii) the exercise of this Option and the delivery of such Shares complies with applicable law, and (iii) full payment (or satisfactory provision therefor) of the aggregate exercise price of the Option and any withholding or other taxes have been received by the Company. Until such time as the Shares are delivered to you (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), you will have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of this Option.

Adjustment for Certain Events.

If and to the extent that it would not cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code or other applicable law, if any Corporate Event described in Section 5(d)(ii) of the Plan shall occur, the Committee shall make an adjustment as described in such Section 5(d)(ii) in such manner as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate and equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights provided under this Option.

Termination.

Upon termination of your Service (other than as set forth below) prior to the Vesting Date, you will forfeit this Option without any consideration due to you. For the purposes of the Plan and this Award Agreement, your Service will not be deemed to be terminated in the event that you are an employee of the Company or any Affiliate or you continue to serve on the board of directors of any Affiliate immediately following cessation of your service as a Board member.

A-2

If your Service terminates prior to the Vesting Date Without Cause (as defined below) or by reason of your Disability (as defined below), you shall be vested in the number of Shares as if the Shares subject to the Option vested 20% on each of March 6, 2016, March 6, 2017, March 6, 2018, March 6, 2019 and March 6, 2020, respectively, and you may exercise the Option to the extent vested on the date of termination of your Service as provided for below.

If your Service terminates prior to the Vesting Date by reason of your death, your Beneficiary shall be vested as if the Option Shares subject to the Option vested 20% on March 6, 2016, 40% on March 6, 2017 and 100% on or after March 6, 2018 and your Beneficiary may exercise the Option to the extent vested on the date of your death as provided for below.

Subject to any terms and conditions that the Committee may impose in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in the event that a Change in Control occurs and, within twelve (12) months following the date of such Change in Control, your Service is terminated by the Company Without Cause (as defined herein), this Option shall vest in full upon such termination.

To the extent this Option is or becomes exercisable on the date of termination of your Service, then, if you (or, if applicable, such other person who is entitled to exercise this Option) do not exercise this Option on or prior to the expiration of the Option Exercise Period (as set forth below), this Option will terminate. In no event may you exercise this Option after the Expiration Date.


Type of Termination		Option Exercise Period
Without Cause		90 day period beginning on the date of termination
Disability		One year period beginning on the date of termination
Death		One year period beginning on the date of termination
For Cause		None, the Option expires immediately

For purposes of this Award Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Cause” means your (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with your duties as a member of the Board or refusal, after demand, to substantially perform such duties, (ii) material violation of any of the Company’s policies, procedures, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Board of Director Code of Conduct and the Burger King Companies’ Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, in each case, as they may be amended from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion, (iii) dishonesty, fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation of funds or theft; or (iv) commission of a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude.

A-3

If you are terminated Without Cause and, within the twelve (12) month period subsequent to such termination of your Service, the Company determines that your Service could have been terminated for Cause, your Service will, at the election of the Company, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause, effective as of the date the events giving rise to Cause occurred.

“Disability” means your physical or mental condition rendering you unable to perform your duties as a member of the Board for a period of six (6) consecutive months or longer.

“Without Cause” means a termination of your Service by the Board other than any such termination by the Board for Cause or due to your death or Disability.

Taxes.

You acknowledge that you are required to pay any withholding or other applicable taxes that may be due as a result of the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option and the receipt of Shares hereunder.

No Guarantee of Continued Service.

You acknowledge and agree that the vesting of this Option on the Vesting Date is earned only by performing continuing Service (not through the act of being granted this Award). You further acknowledge and agree that this Award Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Vesting Date shall not be construed as giving you the right to continue to provide Service to, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may, at any time, dismiss you, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in any other agreement binding you, the Company or the applicable Affiliate. The receipt of this Award is not intended to confer any rights on you except as set forth in this Award Agreement.

Termination for Cause; Restrictive Covenants.

In consideration for the grant of this Option and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged by you, you agree as follows:

Upon (i) a termination of your Service for Cause, (ii) a retroactive termination of your Service for Cause as permitted herein, or (iii) a violation of any post-termination restrictive covenant (including, without limitation, non-disclosure, non-competition and/or non-solicitation) contained in any separation or termination or similar agreement you may enter into with the Company or one of its Affiliates in connection with termination of your Service, any Options you hold that are then outstanding shall be immediately forfeited and the Company may require that you repay (with interest or appreciation (if any), as applicable, determined up to the date payment is made), and you shall promptly repay, to the Company, the Fair Market Value (in cash or in Shares) of any Shares received upon the exercise of Options during the period beginning on the date that is one year before the date of your termination and ending on the first anniversary of the date of your termination, minus the applicable exercise price. The Fair Market Value of any such Shares shall be determined as of the date of exercise of such Option.

A-4

Company’s Right of Offset.

If you become entitled to a distribution of benefits under this Award, and if at such time you have any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company or its Affiliates, upon a determination by the Committee, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and it would not cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code, may offset such amount so owing against the amount of benefits otherwise distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Committee.

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan;

A-5

(i) if you receive Shares, the value of such Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value; and

Securities Laws.

By accepting this Option, you acknowledge that Canadian or other applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, U.S. securities laws, and/or the Company’s policies regarding trading in its securities may limit or restrict your right to buy or sell Shares, including, without limitation, sales of Shares acquired in connection with this Option. You agree to comply with all Canadian and any other applicable securities law requirements, including, without limitation, applicable U.S. securities law requirements, and Company policies, as such laws and policies are amended from time to time.

Data Privacy Notice and Consent.

You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Award Agreement by and among, as applicable, the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates or such other third party administrator as designated by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.

You understand that the Company and/or such other third party administrator as designated by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of this Option or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). You understand that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in your country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.

You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan. You understand that you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.

A-6

Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries.

This Option shall not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation or liability to any party, or Transferred, otherwise than by your will or the laws of descent and distribution or to a Beneficiary upon your death, and this Option shall be exercised during your lifetime only by you or your guardian or legal representative, except that this Option may be Transferred to one or more Beneficiaries or other Transferees during your lifetime with the consent of the Committee, and may be exercised by such Transferees in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement. A Beneficiary, Transferee, or other person claiming any rights under this Award Agreement shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

No Transfer to any executor or administrator of your estate or to any Beneficiary by will or the laws of descent and distribution of any rights in respect of this Option shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with (i) written notice thereof and with a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the Transfer and (ii) the written agreement of the Transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions applicable to this Option and any Shares purchased upon exercise of this Option that are or would have been applicable to you.

No Compensation Deferrals.

It is intended that the Option awarded pursuant to this Award Agreement be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) because it is believed that (i) the Exercise Price per Share may never be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date and the number of Shares subject to the Option is fixed on the original Grant Date, (ii) the Transfer or exercise of the Option is subject to taxation under Section 83 of the Code and Treasury Regulation 1.83-7, and (iii) the Option does not include any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise of the Option. The provisions of this Award Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with this intention. In the event that the Company believes, at any time, that any benefit or right under this Award Agreement is subject to Section 409A, then the Committee may (acting alone and without any required consent by you) amend this Award Agreement in such manner as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A (including without limitation, amending the Award Agreement to increase the Exercise Price per Share to such amount as may be required in order for the Option to be exempt from Section 409A).

A-7

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to you that the Option awarded pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from, or satisfies, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless you or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that you or any Beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.

Entire Agreement; Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

The Plan, this Award Agreement and, to the extent applicable, any separation agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings, representations and agreements (whether oral or written) of the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Award Agreement may not be modified in a manner that adversely affects your rights heretofore granted under the Plan, except with your consent or to comply with applicable law or to the extent permitted under other provisions of the Plan. This Award Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in the Province of Ontario, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.

ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE PARTIES RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, AND YOU IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT ISSUED BY ONE OF THE FOREGOING COURTS MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY JURISDICTION.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, YOU HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT YOU WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

By signing this Award Agreement, you acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan and represent that you are familiar with the terms and conditions of the Plan, and hereby accept this Award subject to all provisions in this Award Agreement and in the Plan. You hereby agree to accept as final, conclusive and binding all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Award Agreement.

A-8

Electronic Delivery.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Option or future options that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

Agreement Severable.

In the event that any provision in this Award Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement.

Language.

If you have received this Award Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different that the English version, the English version will control.
