If this Option is exercised in respect of less than all of the Class A Common Units at the time purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a revised Option as provided in Section 12.

Immediately after giving effect to the exercise of this Option at any time, (a) the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes under the Partnership Agreement to hold a Partnership Interest in the Partnership with respect to the Class A Common Units so purchased; (b) the Holder shall have all of the rights and benefits of a limited partner under the Partnership Agreement with respect to such Partnership Interest; (c) the Partnership Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the foregoing applicable to the admission of Holder as a partner thereunder with such Partnership Interest.

- 6 -

This Option and all rights and options hereunder shall, whether or not it has vested under Section 6 hereof, expire on the Expiration Date, and shall thereafter be wholly null and void.

The Partnership shall pay all reasonable administrative expenses and other reasonable charges payable by the Partnership in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of certificates pursuant to this Section, regardless of the name or names in which such certificates shall be registered.

SECTION 3. RESERVATION.

The Partnership will at all times prior to the Expiration Date take all action necessary to cause the Partnership Agreement, at all times, to provide for the sale of the maximum number of Class A Common Units which are subject to this Option.

Additionally, in the event of any extraordinary distribution to holders of Class A Common Units other than an ordinary cash dividend (or tax distribution), as determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustment (x) to the number and kind of Class A Common Units (or New Units) subject to the Option and/or (y) to the Unit Option Price to be paid for such Class A Common Units subject to the Option to preserve the level of economic benefits intended hereunder in light of such change as determined by the Committee in exercise of its reasonable discretion; provided, however that such adjustment shall only be made if the Committee reasonably determines that such adjustment would be permissible under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Such adjustment(s) shall be made successively whenever any event listed in this Section 4(a) shall occur.

(b) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 4(a), the Holder shall become entitled to receive any New Units, thereafter the number of such New Units so receivable upon exercise of this Option shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Class A Common Units in Section 4(a).

- 7 -

SECTION 5. MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, SALES.

In the case of any consolidation or merger of the Partnership with another entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, or any reorganization or reclassification or liquidation of the common interests or other common equity securities of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any change in the Partnership’s form of organization from a partnership to a corporation), then, at the reasonable discretion of the Committee, but subject to the Partnership Agreement, provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of this Option (in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions specified herein) and in lieu of the Class A Common Units hereinbefore described immediately theretofore purchasable hereunder, solely such interests, shares of stock, securities or assets (including cash) as would (by virtue of such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization, reclassification or liquidation) have been issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for such Class A Common Units had such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization, reclassification or liquidation taken place immediately following exercise hereof, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any interests, shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise of this Option.

SECTION 6. VESTING; ACCELERATION; TERMINATION.

6.1. Exit Transactions. For so long as no Termination shall have occurred, upon (but effective immediately prior to) the occurrence of each Exit Transaction that occurs prior to a Termination, this Option shall vest for an additional number of Class A Common Units (if any) such that, after giving effect to such vesting, the aggregate percentage of the Option that shall have vested shall be not less than the product of (i) the Exit Percentage with respect to such Exit Transaction, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Percentage determined based on Centre’s IRR calculated with respect thereto.

6.2. Acceleration. Upon (but effective immediately prior to) each Exit Transaction that occurs within six months following (i) a Termination as a result of death, (ii) a Termination as a result of Disability, (iii) a Termination by the Partnership or its affiliates not for Cause or (iv) a Termination for Good Reason, (x) the Expiration Date shall (unless it has occurred under clause (ii) of the definition thereof) not occur prior to the day that is 10 days following such Exit Transaction, and (y) this Option shall vest for an additional number of Class A Common Units (if any) such that, after giving effect to such vesting, the aggregate percentage of the Option that shall have vested shall be not less than the product of (i) the Exit Percentage with respect to such Exit Transaction, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Percentage determined based on Centre’s IRR calculated with respect thereto.

6.3. Termination. Subject to Section 6.2, in the event of any Termination, all portions of this Option not yet vested shall terminate, expire and be of no further force or effect with no further compensation due to the Holder; and all portions hereof that have vested at or prior to such Termination shall remain exercisable until the Expiration Date and shall thereafter

- 8 -

terminate, expire and be of no further force or effect with no further compensation due to the Holder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the vesting schedule requires continuous employment of the Holder by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries through each applicable vesting date set forth above (as well as the achievement of those specific performance objectives set forth above) as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of this Option. Service for only a portion of the vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Holder to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon a Termination except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

SECTION 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

7.1. Representations and Warranties of the Partnership. The Partnership represents and warrants to the Holder that:

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Partnership of this Option and the issuance by the Partnership of Class A Common Units upon exercise of the Option, do not and will not contravene or constitute a default under any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the Partnership Agreement or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Partnership or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any asset of the Partnership.

7.2. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder represents, warrants and covenants to the Partnership and the General Partner that:

(a) The Holder is a natural person, and has attained the age of majority and is legally competent to execute this Agreement and the agreements contemplated hereby and to take all actions required pursuant thereto. This Option and the agreements contemplated hereby will constitute legal, valid and binding contracts of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with their respective terms.

(c) The Holder: (x) is not a non-resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and (y) is not a “financial institution” within the meaning of subsection 142.2(1) of the Tax Act, and shall immediately advise the General Partner, in writing, if the Holder becomes a “non-resident” of Canada or becomes a “financial institution”.

(d) The Holder is currently a full-time employee of a wholly-owned affiliate of the Partnership.

(e) The entering into of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the violation of any terms or provisions of any law applicable to the Holder or of any agreement, written or oral, to which the Holder may be a party or by which he or she is or may be bound.

(f) The Holder understands that:

(i) the issue of the Options and, if and when the Holder exercises the Option, the underlying Class A Common Shares issuable hereunder (collectively, the “Securities”) is conditional on the availability of an exemption from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities legislation, regulation, rules and policies;

(ii) the Securities are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities legislation, regulation, rules and policies; and

(iii) further exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities legislation, regulation, rules and policies will be needed in order to sell the Securities.

(g) The Holder agrees to execute and deliver, from time to time, such certificates and other documentation as the Partnership may reasonably request to determine the availability of exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities legislation, regulation, rules and policies in connection with the issue of the Securities of the Partnership.

(i) The Holder has not received a prospectus or other offering memorandum (including, without limitation, as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)), sales or advertising literature or similar document (other than financial statements or any other document, the content of which is prescribed by statute or regulation) in connection with this subscription, and has not received, nor has the Holder requested, nor does the Holder need to receive, any other document.

- 10 -

amended and supplemented from time to time, including, without limitation, by the addendum to the offering memorandum dated November 19, 2008 (collectively, the “Offering Memorandum”), acknowledges and agrees that the information contained in such Offering Memorandum is no longer current and cannot be relied upon and has not been relied upon by the Holder in connection with this acquisition in any way, in whole or in part. For greater certainty, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that any proposed equity investments (other than with respect to purchases by the Holder of equity interests in the Partnership or its Affiliates, which were consummated on or prior to December 31, 2008), financing arrangements or other ownership structures described or contemplated in the Offering Memorandum were proposals only and were, and continue to be, of no force or effect.

(k) The Holder acknowledges that the Securities will be subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities legislation, rules, regulations and policies and that, since the Partnership is not and has no current intention to become a “reporting issuer”, or its equivalent, in any jurisdiction, this could result in a holder of Securities having to hold such securities for an indefinite period of time if no statutory exemption may be relied upon or if no discretionary order or ruling is obtained in respect of the resale of such securities.

(t) The Holder has been advised that the offer and sale of the Class A Common Units purchased pursuant to this Option have not been registered under the Securities Act, that the Class A Common Units may not be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of unless such offer and sale are registered thereunder or an exemption from registration is available and that accordingly it may be required to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Class A Common Units for an indefinite period of time. The Holder also understands that the Partnership does not have any intention of registering the offer and sale of the Class A Common Units under the Securities Act or of supplying the information which may be necessary to enable the Holder to offer and/or sell the Class A Common Units pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and that the Partnership will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(v) The Holder has been informed that the offer of the Class A Common Units is being made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, relating to transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, and that, consequently, the materials relating to the offer have not been subject to review and comment by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental authority in the United States, Canada or otherwise.

payment of the applicable purchase price herein provided for shall, at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized and validly issued paid and entitle the holder thereof to the full benefits of a holder of Class A Common Units under the Partnership Agreement.

SECTION 9. NO SUSPENSION.

Except as provided herein, the right to exercise this Option shall not be suspended during any period.

SECTION 10. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND CLASS A COMMON UNITS; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Option to the contrary, the terms and provisions of this Section 10 of this Option shall remain in full force and effect at all times up to and including the Expiration Date.

10.1. In General. (a) This Option may not be transferred by the Holder other than (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures and to a beneficiary approved by the Partnership or (ii) to the Partnership. This Option is exercisable only by the Holder or the Holder’s legal representative. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence or as otherwise consented to by the Partnership in writing, this Option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of this Option, or any attempt by any person other than the Holder or the Holder’s legal representative to exercise this Option, this Option and all rights hereunder shall immediately become null and void.

(b) The Class A Common Units issued upon the exercise hereof shall be transferable only in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, the restrictions on transfer in Section 8 of the Partnership Agreement to the same extent as if such provision was set forth herein. In addition, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that such Class A Common Units may only be transferred pursuant to registration under applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act) or an exemption therefrom.

10.2. Restrictive Legends. The Partnership Agreement, each certificate (if any) for Class A Common Units initially issued upon the exercise of this Option and each certificate (if any) for Class A Common Units issued to a subsequent transferee of such Class A Common Units may be required to bear a legend respecting restrictions on transfer as required under applicable securities laws. Furthermore, the Holder understands and hereby agrees that, unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Section 10.2, such certificates shall bear on the face thereof a legend reading substantially as follows:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS

- 13 -

AMENDED, AND MAY BE OFFERED AND SOLD ONLY IF SO REGISTERED OR IN A MANNER EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ALSO ARE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OF XXXXXXX BROS., L.P. (THE “PARTNERSHIP”), DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 18, 2008 AND AS IT MAY BE AMENDED, AMENDED AND RESTATED, SUPPLEMENTED, OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE PARTNERSHIP. NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE PARTNERSHIP UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.

In the event that a registration statement covering any Class A Common Units issued or issuable upon exercise of this Option shall become effective under the Securities Act and under any applicable securities laws or in the event that the Partnership shall receive such certificates, legal opinions or other information as the Partnership may reasonably require to confirm that the legend on such Class A Common Units is not, or is no longer, necessary or required (including, without limitation, because of the availability of any exemption afforded by Rule 144 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission), the Partnership shall, or shall instruct its transfer agents and registrars to, remove such legend from the Partnership Agreement and the certificates (if any) evidencing such Class A Common Units or issue new certificates without such legend in lieu thereof, or issue a replacement Option without the legend, as the case may be.
