Company. 
 3. Other Payments & Benefits.

reasonable efforts to comply with Section 409A of the Code as to the timing, form and amount of any distribution to you under the Retirement Program, including the imposition of a six (6) month delay or suspension (if applicable) of any

this amount represents sixty percent (60%) of the cash value of this equity grant, less any amounts that have already been distributed to you.

the Company’s designated tax provider and that you provide the tax preparer with all information and documentation on a timely basis. If your Swiss tax appeal that is currently pending is not resolved on or by December 31, 2012, then the
Company will also pay the cost of preparation of your individual tax returns for the 2013 U.S. and Swiss tax years subject to the same conditions as the tax returns for the 2012 tax year. 

(h) Tax Equalization. You have been provided with tax equalization in connection with your temporary international
assignment to Switzerland. The tax equalization process is described in that certain assignment letter among the Company, Burger King Europe GmbH and you, dated July 14, 2009. The assignment letter has terminated; however, tax equalization
calculations will continue to be prepared by a Company-designated tax consultant for all applicable periods through the Separation Date, and any benefit/refund generated on your United States individual income tax return from any credits resulting
from payments of Swiss income tax paid by the Company or any of the Releasees through or subsequent to the Separation Date are the property of the Company or the Releasee, as applicable. You agree to execute and deliver to the Company any and all
documents necessary to designate the Company or Releasee, as applicable, as the party to which any refunds relating to Swiss income taxes will be paid. If no such documents are necessary or for any reason are not executed and delivered as required
in the immediately preceding sentence, then any

payments due to the Company must be settled within 30 days of your receipt of the applicable refund, and you authorize the Company to deduct outstanding balances from any payments due to you
hereunder in order to collect unpaid balances. 
 (i) Tax Credits. Any tax credits for taxes paid by the Company
which reduce your income tax liability before, during or subsequent to your temporary international assignment are owned/utilized by the Company. The Company retains the tax benefit for utilization of the tax credit, and the Company may elect to
keep you in the tax equalization program and continue to pay for the preparation of your United States income tax return in order to utilize the credit. 
 (j) Except as specifically set out herein, all other benefits shall cease as of the Separation Date. 
 4. Payments and Accord and Satisfaction. 
 (a) All payments and
benefits under this Agreement shall be subject to applicable tax and employment withholdings. You acknowledge and agree that, other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement, you are not due any compensation or benefits, including without
limitation compensation for unpaid salary, unpaid bonus, commissions, severance, or accrued or unused vacation time or vacation pay, arising from or relating to your employment with the Company or the termination of your employment. 

 (b) Similarly, the Separation Benefits (and any other payments contemplated hereunder) will be made by the Company using such
method of payment as it may determine in its discretion, including without limitation, by direct deposit to your bank account unless you specifically advise the Company in writing that you do not want payments made via direct deposit. Unless you
advise the Company’s Payroll Department in writing of any changes to your banking information, any payments by direct deposit shall be into such bank account as is currently on file with the Payroll Department. 

(c) You further agree to authorize the Company to deduct from your Separation Benefits (to the extent applicable) any payments due for
underpayment of medical, dental and/or vision coverage incurred prior to the commencement of the Separation Benefits. 
 5.

 6. No Admission of Wrongdoing. By
entering into this Agreement, you agree that the Releasees do not admit any wrongdoing or violation of any law. The existence and execution of this Agreement shall not be considered, and shall not be admissible in any proceeding, as an admission by

 8. Taxes.
You agree that you are responsible for all applicable taxes and contributions relating to the payments and benefits under this Agreement. You understand and agree that the Company is providing you with no representations regarding tax obligations or
consequences that may arise from this Agreement. 
 9. Restrictive Covenants. You acknowledge that, in the course
of your association with the Company, you had a prominent role in the management of the business and you have established and developed relations and contacts with the franchisees, customers and/or suppliers of the Company and its affiliates
throughout the world, all of which constitute valuable goodwill of, and could be used by you to compete unfairly with, the Company and its affiliates. You also recognize that you had access to and became familiar with or exposed to Confidential
Information (as 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. You acknowledge that the
Company has an interest in protecting its investment in its valuable, special, unique and extraordinary contacts, goodwill, knowledge, and Confidential Information. You agree that you could cause grave harm to the Company if you, among other things,
work for the Company’s competitors, solicit the Company’s employees away from the Company, solicit the Company’s franchisees, make disparaging remarks about the Company, or misappropriate or divulge the Company’s Confidential
Information and that, consequently, the Company has legitimate business interests in protecting its good will and Confidential Information. As such, you agree to the following:  

(a) Survival of Restrictive Covenants; Non-Competition. You agree that Paragraphs 9(a), 9(b) and 9(c) of the Employment
Agreement remain in full force and effect, will survive termination of the Employment Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. 
 (b) Non-Disparagement. You agree not to directly or indirectly take any actions or make any statements that criticize, ridicule, disparage or are otherwise derogatory to the Company or any
of the Releasees or any of their respective products or services, advertising or marketing programs, financial status or businesses, or that damage or is intended to damage the Company or any of the Releasees in any of their respective business
relationships, or encourage the making of such statement or the taking of such actions by someone else. 
 (c)
Confidential and Proprietary Information. You agree that the terms of this Agreement are confidential and that you shall not disclose any information contained in this Agreement to any person, other than (A) to your lawyer,
financial advisor or immediate family members, (B) to enforce this Agreement or (C) to respond to a valid subpoena or other legal process. If you do tell your lawyer, financial advisor or immediate family members about this Agreement or
its contents, you must 

  
 6 








 
immediately tell each such individual that he or she must keep such information confidential as well. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you also shall be permitted to disclose the covenants
contained in this Paragraph 9 to any prospective employers. Upon inquiry regarding the subject matter contained in this Agreement or regarding the Agreement, you shall either not respond or state only that the matter has been resolved. 

(d) Return of the Company Property; Work Product. 

(i) As of the Separation Date, and before the Company is obligated to provide you with any portion of the Separation Benefits, you 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), 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 (as defined below),
documents, memoranda, records and software, computer access codes or disks and instructional manuals, internal policies, and other similar materials or documents which you used, received or prepared, helped prepare or supervised the preparation of
in connection with your employment with the Company. You agree not to retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions or excerpts of such material or documents. 
 (ii) You agree that all of your work product (whether created solely or jointly with others, and including any intellectual property or moral rights therein), given, disclosed, created, developed or
prepared in connection with your employment with the Company (“Work Product”) 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), and
shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. 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 as the sole and exclusive property of the Company, you hereby
irrevocably assign, transfer and convey to the Company, exclusively and perpetually, all right, title and interest which you may have or acquire in and to such Work Product throughout the world. 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 you shall not have the right to use any such materials, other than within the legitimate scope
and purpose of your employment with the Company. You 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 any Work Product and any industrial or intellectual property rights therein (including full cooperation in support of any Company
applications for patents and copyright or trademark registrations). 
 (e) Breach of This Agreement and Equitable
Relief. 
 (i) You acknowledge and agree that a breach by you of this Paragraph 9 of this Agreement shall be deemed a
material breach of this Agreement 

  
 7 








 
and that remedies at law will 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, you agree 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. You expressly
waive any security that might otherwise be required in connection with such relief. 
 (ii) You further acknowledge and agree
that the Company’s obligation to pay you any amount or provide you with any benefit or right pursuant to this Agreement is subject to your compliance with your obligations under Paragraphs 9(a), 9(b) and 9(c) of the Employment Agreement and
Paragraph 9 of this Agreement, and that in the event of a breach by you of any provision of Paragraphs 9(a), 9(b) and/or 9(c) of the Employment Agreement and/or Paragraph 9 of this Agreement, you shall be deemed to have been terminated for cause.
Similarly, if, at any time subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, it is determined by the Company in good faith that your employment could have been terminated for cause under Paragraph 8(b) of the Employment Agreement, then, in accordance
with Paragraph 8(b) of the Employment Agreement, at the Company’s discretion, you shall be deemed to have been terminated for cause. Upon your breach of any provision of Paragraph 9 or any other deemed termination for cause in accordance with
this Paragraph 9(e), (a) you shall be obligated to immediately repay to the Company all amounts and benefits theretofore paid to or received by you pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement; and (b) you shall forfeit any further payments
or benefits under this Agreement. You further agree 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 provision of Paragraphs 9(a), 9(b) and/or 9(c) of the Employment Agreement and/or Paragraph 9 of this Agreement were breached. 
 (f) Scope of Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the period, scope and geographical areas of restriction imposed upon you by the provisions of this Paragraph 9 are fair and reasonable
and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company. In the event that the provisions of this Paragraph 9 relating to the area of restriction, the period of restriction, or the scope of restriction, shall be deemed to exceed the maximum
area, period of time or scope which a court of competent jurisdiction would deem enforceable, said area, period of time and scope shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the maximum area or period of time or scope which a court of
competent jurisdiction would deem valid and enforceable. 
 (g) Toll Provision. In the event you shall violate any
provision of this Paragraph 9 as to which there is a specific time period during which you are prohibited from taking certain actions or from engaging in certain activities, as set forth in such provision, then, such violation shall toll the running
of such time period from the date of such violation until such violation shall cease. 

  
 8 








 (h) Confidentiality. In the event the Company applies to seal any papers
produced or filed in any judicial proceedings to preserve confidentiality, you hereby specifically agree not to oppose such application and to use your best efforts to join such application. 

(i) Cooperation. You agree to cooperate with the Company in its defense in any investigation, litigation or administrative
proceeding, including any charges or claims filed against it by current or former employees regarding matters occurring during your employment. The Company shall fully reimburse you for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incident to such cooperation
provided they are properly documented. 
 (j) Resignation upon Termination. This Agreement represents your
resignation from all board and board committee memberships and other positions which you hold with the Company, Holdings and all of their subsidiaries and affiliates, effective as of [the Separation Date]. You agree to execute and return to the
Company, within two (2) business days following the execution of this Agreement, a letter in the form attached as Schedule 2, which separately confirms your resignation from such positions. 

10. Company’s Right of Set-Off. If you have any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability representing an
amount owing to the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time that you are entitled to payment of Separation Benefits under this Agreement, then the Company or its Affiliates, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including, without
limitation, Section 409A of the Code), may offset such amount so owing against the unpaid balance of the Separation Benefits otherwise payable. 
 11. Assignment; Severability. 
 (a) You expressly agree that this
Agreement shall be assignable by the Company to a successor to any of the businesses of the Company and you hereby expressly consent to such assignment. 
 (b) 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 excluding the general release language, 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. You agree and acknowledge 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. 

  
 9 








 12. Other Claims. The existence of any claim or cause of action by you against
the Company, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement but shall be claimed and litigated separately. 

13. Entire Agreement and Waiver. Effective as of the Separation Date, this Agreement (including all attachments and
schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to your termination of employment, and supersedes all other correspondence, offers, proposals, promises, agreements or arrangements relating to the subject
matter contained herein, including without limitation, the Employment Agreement. The failure of any party to at any time enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such provisions, nor in
any way affect the validity of this Agreement or any provision hereof or the right of either of the parties to thereafter enforce each and every provision of this Agreement. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any representation, promises,
or agreements of any kind made in connection with the decision to sign this Agreement, except for those set forth in this Agreement. 
 14. No Modification. This Agreement may not be changed unless the changes are in writing and signed by you and a proper representative of the Company. 

15. Governing Law. The terms of this Agreement shall for all purposes be enforced, governed by, and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to Florida’s conflict of laws principles, except to the extent governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). 

16. Dispute Resolution. With respect to any claims or disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement, you
agree to attempt in good faith to resolve such claim or dispute informally through discussions with appropriate Company personnel. If you believe your efforts are unsuccessful, you shall submit your claim in writing to the Vice President, Total
Rewards, U.S. Restaurant Support Center, who will respond to you within twenty-one (21) days from receiving your claim. If after completing the above procedures, you disagree with the Committee’s or the Vice President, Total Rewards’
determination, the Company and you agree that the dispute or claim shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration shall be held in Miami, Florida, and
conducted in accordance with AAA’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect at the time of the arbitration, with the additional proviso that all steps necessary to ensure the confidentiality of the proceedings and
the arbitrator’s award will be added to the basic rule requirements, except that (a) in the process of selecting an arbitrator, the parties may strike names from AAA’s list of arbitrators only for good cause and (b) depositions,
if permitted by the arbitrator, shall be limited to a maximum of one (1) 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 Paragraph 9 of this Agreement. Both parties expressly agree to waive their right to have a circuit court determine the issue of attorneys’ fees pursuant to § 682.11, Fla. Stat. Judgment upon the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be 

  
 10 









 
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Both parties agree that no other forum other than a mutually agreed upon one or the American Arbitration Association will be utilized to resolve
any dispute and the resort to any other forum is a breach of this Agreement. 
 17. Revocation Period. You may
revoke this Agreement within the seven (7) day period following its execution by you. Any revocation must be submitted, in writing, to Burger King Corporation, Attn: Jill Granat, General Counsel, at 5505 Blue Lagoon Drive, Miami, Florida 33126
and must state, “I hereby revoke my acceptance of my Agreement.” If the last day of the revocation period is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday recognized by the State of Florida, then such revocation period shall not expire until the

hereunder (the “Revocation Period”), but in no event more than sixty days after your Separation Date.

(including by facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

source or proceeding (including but not limited to any proceeding brought by any other person or by any government agency) with respect to any claim or right waived herein. You agree that you shall pay the attorneys’ fees incurred by the

enforce this Agreement. Any claim or counterclaim by the Company to enforce this Agreement shall not be deemed retaliatory.

 23. Section 409A of the Code. 

The intent of the Company is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the
regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (except to the extent exempt as short-term deferrals or otherwise) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. 

It is intended that each installment, if any, of the payments and benefits, if any, provided to you pursuant to the terms and conditions
