EXHIBIT A

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

No Payment for Shares.

     No payment is required for Shares that you receive under this Award.

Restricted Share Units.

     Each RSU represents a right to receive one Share. To the extent dividends are paid on Shares while the RSUs remain outstanding, you shall receive an amount in cash for each of your vested and unvested RSUs equal to the amount per share of the dividend, but such amount of cash or shares shall not be paid out to you until settlement of the RSUs.

Termination.

     Except as set forth below in this section, upon termination of your employment for any reason, you will forfeit all of your RSUs that are unvested at the time of termination without any consideration due to you.

     In the event of involuntary termination of your employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive RSUs and vest under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), your right to receive RSUs under this Award Agreement after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of your active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award.

     In the event that a Change in Control occurs and, within twenty-four months following the date of such Change in Control, your employment is terminated by the Company Without Cause (as defined below), all RSUs that are unvested at the time of termination shall vest in full upon such termination and be free of restrictions. Additionally, if you have an employment agreement with the Company or one of its Affiliates that defines the term “Good Reason”, then in the event that a Change in Control occurs and, within twenty-four months following the date of such Change in Control, your employment is terminated by you for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement), all RSUs that are unvested at the time of termination shall vest in full upon such termination and be free of restrictions.

     In the event that there is a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement regarding the effect of a termination of employment on your Award and the terms of any employment agreement or offer, promotion or confirmation letter with the Company or one of its Affiliates (“Employment Agreement”), the terms of your Employment Agreement will govern.

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

     “Cause” means (i) a material breach by you of any of your obligations under any written agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a material violation by you of any of the Company’s policies, procedures, rules and regulations applicable to employees generally or to employees at your grade level, including without limitation, 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) the failure by you to reasonably and substantially perform your duties to the Company or its Affiliates (other than as a result of physical or mental illness or injury); (iv) your 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) your fraud or misappropriation of funds; or (vi) the commission by you of a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude; provided that if you are a party to an Employment Agreement at the time of your termination of employment and such Employment Agreement contains a different definition of “cause” (or any derivation thereof), the definition in such Employment Agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement.

     If you are terminated Without Cause and, within the twelve (12) month period subsequent to such termination of employment, the Company determines that your employment could have been terminated for Cause, subject to anything to the contrary that may be contained in your Employment Agreement at the time of your termination of employment, your employment 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.

2

“Disability” means (i) a physical or mental condition entitling you to benefits under the long-term disability policy of the Company covering you or (2) in the absence of any such plan, a physical or mental condition rendering you unable to perform your duties for the Company or any of its Affiliates for a period of six (6) consecutive months or longer; provided that if you are a party to an Employment Agreement at the time of your termination of employment and such Employment Agreement contains a different definition of “disability” (or any derivation thereof), the definition in such Employment Agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement.

“Without Cause” means a termination of your employment other than by the Company for Cause, by you for any reason, or due to your death or Disability (as defined above) ; provided that if you are a party to an Employment Agreement at the time of your termination of employment and such Employment Agreement contains a different definition of “without cause” (or any derivation thereof), the definition in such Employment Agreement will control for purposes of this Award Agreement.

Settlement.

     Except to the extent that you have made a timely election to defer the receipt of Shares upon vesting of this Award pursuant to such rules as have been established by the Committee, the Company shall deliver to you Shares underlying those RSUs that vest in accordance with this Award Agreement as soon as practicable following the relevant vesting date. You will have no rights of a shareholder with respect to the RSUs until such Shares have been delivered to you.

Taxes.

     Regardless of any action the Company or your employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs including the grant or vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items.

     Prior to settlement of the RSUs, you will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment on account obligations of the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by you from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Shares issued upon settlement of the RSUs. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that you acquire to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and/or (2) withhold in RSUs, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of RSUs necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. If the Company or the Employer satisfies the obligation for Tax-Related Items by withholding a number of whole RSUs as described herein, you will be deemed to have been issued the full number of RSUs subject to this Award, notwithstanding that a number of the RSUs is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the vesting and settlement of the RSUs. Finally, you will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of your participation in the Plan or your receipt of RSUs that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the vesting and refuse to settle the RSUs if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this section.

No Guarantee of Continued Service.

     You acknowledge and agree that the vesting of this Award as provided in this Award Agreement is earned only by continuing as an employee at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired or being granted this Award). You further acknowledge and agree that this Award Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting and settlement terms do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment for any period or at all and will not interfere in any way with your right or the Company’s or any Affiliate’s right to dismiss you from employment at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law and will not confer upon you any right to continue your employment for any specified period of time.

Termination for Cause; Restrictive Covenants.

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

3

     Upon (i) a termination of your employment for Cause, (ii) a retroactive termination of your employment for Cause as permitted herein or under your Employment Agreement, (iii) a violation of any post-termination restrictive covenant (including, without limitation, non-disclosure, non-competition and/or non-solicitation) contained in your Employment Agreement or (iv) 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 your termination of employment, any RSUs you then hold that have not been settled 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 (in cash or in Shares), to the Company, the Fair Market Value of any Shares (including Shares withheld for taxes) received upon the settlement of RSUs 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. The Fair Market Value of any such Shares shall be determined as of the date the RSUs were settled.

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, may offset such amount so owing against the amount of benefits otherwise distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Committee.

Acknowledgment of Nature of Award.

In accepting this grant of an Award, you acknowledge that:

(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;

(b) the grant of an Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of RSUs, or benefits in lieu RSUs even if RSUs have been awarded repeatedly in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) your participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e) this Award is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or to the Employer and is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any;

(f) this Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments;

(g) neither Award nor any provision of this Award Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon you any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment, and in the event that the Employee is not an employee of the Company, RSUs shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company;

(h) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

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

(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of this Award, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from any diminution in value of the RSUs or Shares received upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs resulting from termination of your employment by the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and you irrevocably release the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Award Agreement, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived your entitlement to pursue such claim.

No Compensation Deferrals.

     Neither the Plan nor this Award Agreement is intended to provide for a deferral of compensation that would subject the RSUs to taxation prior to the issuance of Shares as a result of U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without your consent, to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of Shares pursuant to this Award. If you are subject to U.S. taxes, all RSUs that you are entitled to at vesting will be issued to you within the period ending no later than the date that is 2¹/2 months from the end of (i) your tax year that includes the applicable date of vesting, or (ii) the Company’s tax year that includes the applicable date of vesting (which payment schedule is intended to comply with the “short-term deferral” exemption from the application of Section 409A).

Securities Laws.

     By accepting this Award, you acknowledge that federal or local 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 your RSUs. You agree to comply with such securities law requirements and Company policies, as such laws and policies are amended from time to time.

Entire Agreement; Dispute Resolution; Governing Law.

     The Plan, this Award Agreement and, to the extent applicable, your Employment Agreement, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements 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 as provided for in Section 14 of the Plan. This Award Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.

     The Company and you agree that any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Award 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.
