Form of Nominee Agreement

AGREEMENT

This Nomination Agreement (the "Agreement"), is by and between XXXX Partners LLC ("XXXX," "we" or "us") and [NOMINEE] ("you").

You agree that you are willing, should we so elect, to become a member of a slate of nominees (the "Slate") of a XXXX affiliate (the "Nominating Party") which nominees shall stand for election as directors of Bloomin' Brands, Inc. ("Bloomin' Brands") in connection with a proxy solicitation (the "Proxy Solicitation") which may be conducted in respect of the 2018 or 2019 annual meeting of stockholders of Bloomin' Brands (such applicable meeting, including any adjournment or postponement thereof or any special meeting held in lieu thereof, the "Annual Meeting") or appointment or election by other means. You further agree to serve as a director of Bloomin' Brands if so elected or appointed. XXXX agrees on behalf of the Nominating Party to pay the costs of the Proxy Solicitation. XXXX also agrees on behalf of the Nominating Party to pay you, (i) $90,000 within three (3) business days of the date hereof and (ii) in the event that you are elected or appointed as a director of Bloomin' Brands, $100,000 within three (3) business days of such election or appointment, provided that to the extent that you do not own on the date of such election or appointment shares of common stock of Bloomin' Brands ("Shares") with a market value (based on the closing price of the Shares on the date of such election or appointment) equal to at least the estimated after-tax proceeds of $190,000 (assuming a combined federal, state and city tax rate of 45%, rounded to the nearest whole dollar), you agree to purchase an amount of Shares with a market value (based on the closing price of the Shares on the date of such election or appointment) equivalent to or greater than such after-tax amount within five (5) business days of receipt of such payment (or such longer period as may be required to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements or policies of the Board). You agree to hold any Shares purchased by you in accordance with this paragraph (and any other Shares purchased by you which were taken into account in satisfying the share ownership obligation set forth in the prior sentence) until at least the later of (A) the first date as of which you are no longer a director of Bloomin' Brands and (B) three (3) years from the date of such appointment or election (or if earlier, the date of the consummation of any merger or sale of Bloomin' Brands which has been approved if applicable by the Board and the holders of the requisite number of Shares).

XXXX agrees on behalf of the Nominating Party that, so long as you actually serve on the Xxxxx, XXXX will defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, awards, settlements, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) incurred by you in the event that you become a party, or are threatened to be made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal thereof, (i) relating to your role as a nominee for director of Bloomin' Brands on the Slate, or (ii) otherwise arising from or in connection with or relating to the Proxy Solicitation. Your right of indemnification hereunder shall continue after the Annual Meeting has taken place but only for events that occurred prior to the Annual Meeting and subsequent to the date hereof. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, XXXX is not indemnifying you for any action taken by you or on your behalf that occurs prior to the date hereof or subsequent to the conclusion of the Proxy Solicitation or such earlier time as you are no longer a nominee on the Slate or for any actions taken by you as a director of Bloomin' Brands, if you are elected. Nothing herein shall be construed to provide you with indemnification (i) if you are found to have engaged in a violation of any provision of state or federal law in connection with the Proxy Solicitation, unless you demonstrate that your action was taken in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of electing the Slate; (ii) if you acted in a manner that constitutes gross negligence or willful

misconduct; or (iii) if you provided false or misleading information, or omitted material information, in the XXXX Questionnaire (as defined below) or otherwise in connection with the Proxy Solicitation. You shall promptly notify XXXX in writing in the event of any third-party claims actually made against you or known by you to be threatened if you intend to seek indemnification hereunder in respect of such claims; provided, however, that any failure by you to notify XXXX of any claim shall not relieve XXXX of any liability which XXXX may have to you except only to the extent that any such delay in giving of failure to give notice as required materially prejudices the defense of such claim. In addition, upon your delivery of notice with respect to any such claim, XXXX shall promptly assume control of the defense of such claim with counsel chosen by XXXX and shall advise you of the progress thereof and all significant actions proposed. XXXX shall not be responsible for any settlement of any claim against you covered by this indemnity without its prior written consent. However, XXXX may not enter into any settlement of any such claim without your consent unless such settlement includes (i) no admission of liability or guilt by you, and (ii) an unconditional release of you from any and all liability or obligation in respect of such claim. If you are required to enforce the obligations of XXXX in this agreement in a court of competent jurisdiction, or to recover damages for breach of this agreement, XXXX will pay on your behalf, in advance, any and all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by you in such action, regardless of whether you are ultimately determined to be entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses.

You understand that it may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace a nominee who, such as yourself, has agreed to serve on the Slate and, if elected, as a director of Bloomin' Brands if such nominee later changes his mind and determines not to serve on the Slate or, if elected, as a director of Bloomin' Brands. Accordingly, XXXX is relying upon your agreement to serve on the Slate and, if elected, as a director of Bloomin' Brands. In that regard, you may be supplied with a questionnaire (the "XXXX Questionnaire") in which you will provide XXXX with information necessary for the Nominating Party to make appropriate disclosure to Bloomin' Brands and to use in creating the proxy solicitation materials to be sent to stockholders of Bloomin' Brands and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Proxy Solicitation. In the event that the Nominating Party files with the Securities and Exchange Commission any proxy solicitation materials, the Nominating Party agrees to provide you with an opportunity to comment on those sections of the proxy solicitation materials that relate to any personal information concerning you contained in such materials.

You agree that (i) upon request you will promptly complete, sign and return the XXXX Questionnaire, (ii) your responses in the XXXX Questionnaire will be true, complete and correct in all respects, and (iii) you will provide any additional information as may be reasonably requested by XXXX. In addition, you agree that upon our request you will execute and return a separate instrument confirming that you consent to being nominated for election as a director of Bloomin' Brands and, if elected, consent to serving as a director of Bloomin' Brands. Upon being notified that you have been chosen, we and the Nominating Party may forward your consent and completed XXXX Questionnaire (or summary thereof), to Bloomin' Brands, and we and the Nominating Party may at any time, in our and their discretion, disclose the information contained therein, as well as the existence and contents of this agreement. Furthermore, you understand that we may elect, at our expense, to conduct a background and reference check on you and you agree to complete and execute any necessary authorization forms or other documents required in connection therewith.

You further agree that (i) you will treat confidentially all information relating to the Proxy Solicitation which is non-public, confidential or proprietary in nature; (ii) you will not issue, publish or otherwise make any public statement or any other form of communication relating to Bloomin' Brands or the Proxy Solicitation without the prior approval of XXXX; and (iii) you will not agree to serve, or agree to be nominated to stand for election by Bloomin' Brands or any other stockholder of Bloomin' Brands (other than XXXX), as a director of Bloomin' Brands without the prior approval of XXXX.

In addition to the purchases of Shares required by the second paragraph above, you or your affiliates may invest in securities of Bloomin' Brands. With respect to any such purchases during the term of this agreement, (i) you agree to consult with XXXX and provide necessary information so that we may comply with any applicable disclosure or other obligations which may result from such investment and (ii) XXXX or its affiliates shall prepare and complete any required disclosures including all regulatory filings related thereto. With respect to any purchases made pursuant to this paragraph you agree on behalf of yourself and your affiliates not to dispose of any such securities prior to the termination of this agreement, provided, however, that in the event that the Nominating Party or any of its affiliates dispose of any Shares during the term of this Agreement, of which dispositions you shall be promptly notified, you and your family members or affiliates will be permitted to sell in the aggregate a pro rata amount.

Each of us recognizes that should you be elected to the Board of Directors of Bloomin' Brands all of your activities and decisions as a director will be governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duties, as applicable, to Bloomin' Brands and to the stockholders of Bloomin' Brands and, as a result, that there is, and can be, no agreement between you and XXXX that governs the decisions which you will make as a director of Bloomin' Brands.

This agreement shall automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, (ii) your election or appointment to the Board of Directors of Bloomin' Brands or (iii) the termination of the Proxy Solicitation, provided, however, that the first, second, third, your confidentiality obligations in the sixth, eighth, and tenth paragraphs of this agreement shall survive such termination.

This agreement sets forth the entire agreement between XXXX and you as to the subject matter contained herein, and cannot be amended, modified or terminated except by a writing executed by XXXX and you. Any prior agreements with respect to this subject matter are hereby terminated. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
