EXPLANATORY NOTE

Tim Hortons Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the Company), qualifies as a
foreign private issuer in the U.S. for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Although as a foreign private issuer the Company is no longer required to do so, the Company currently continues to
file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) instead of filing the reports available to foreign private issuers. The Company prepares
and files a management proxy circular and related material under Canadian requirements. As the Companys management proxy circular is not filed pursuant to Regulation 14A, the Company may not incorporate by reference information required by
Part III of its Form 10-K from its management proxy circular.

The Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 29, 2013 (2013 Form 10-K) on February 25, 2014. In reliance upon and as permitted by Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, the Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A in order to include in the 2013 Form
10-K the Part III information not previously included in the 2013 Form 10-K.

No attempt has been made in this Amendment No. 1 on
Form 10-K/A to modify or update the other disclosures presented in the 2013 Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the 2013 Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 on Form
10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the 2013 Form 10-K and the Companys other filings with the SEC.

In this Amendment
No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, we also refer to Tim Hortons Inc. as Tim Hortons, we, us, our, our corporation, or the corporation. References to GAAP mean generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States.

All references to our websites contained herein do not constitute incorporation by
reference of information contained on such websites and such information should not be considered part of this document.

|(1) | Huntington, either directly, or indirectly through affiliates or subsidiaries, provides certain banking services to us in the U.S. The Board concluded that
Mr. Endres independence is not affected by his service as a Huntington director because he is not involved in day-to-day activities of Huntington and does not have any direct responsibility with respect to arrangements between Huntington
and us. Mr. Endres has agreed to recuse himself from participating in meetings of Huntingtons board of directors and our Board if it is reasonably likely that participating in the meeting would, or is reasonably likely to, present a
conflict of interest.

|(1) | US Foods is a food distribution enterprise which also supplies quick service restaurants in the U.S. Tim Hortons has no transactional or other business relationship with US Foods. The Board considered whether
Mr. Lederers position would have an impact on his independence, from the perspective of a general competitive conflict, and concluded that his independence would not be affected by his relationship with US Foods. Mr. Lederer has
agreed to recuse himself from participating in meetings of the US Foods board of directors and our Board if such participation would, or is reasonably likely to, present a conflict of interest.

|(1) | BMO Capital Markets is an affiliate of Bank of Montreal (BMO). Mr. Milroy is also Chair of BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. The Board concluded that Mr. Milroys independence is not affected by his service
with the BMO Financial Group. From time to time, Tim Hortons and its subsidiaries do business with BMO and its subsidiaries. For example, BMO Financial Group provides ordinary course banking and foreign exchange services to us at times, and Tim
Hortons entered into a private share repurchase transaction to acquire our common shares from BMO (occurring prior to Mr. Milroys appointment to the Board), all of which were made in the ordinary course of business and were conducted on
terms no less favourable than we could have obtained from an unrelated third party. Mr. Milroy, however, is not involved in BMO Financial Groups business with Tim Hortons, and the determination of his compensation at BMO Financial Group
is not affected by the existence or absence of any business relationship between us. Further, we have implemented various safeguards to address any potential independence concerns that might arise from entering into transactions with the BMO
Financial Group. For example, the receipt of investment banking and other professional services from the BMO Financial Group is now prohibited, and the entering into of any non-ordinary course transactions with the BMO Financial Group is subject to
the prior approval of our legal department.

With respect to the share ownership position of BMO Asset Management, an
affiliate of BMO Capital Markets, the Board was satisfied that confidentiality safeguards were in place between the investment banking and asset management departments of the BMO Financial Group, so that Mr. Milroy would have no control over
any transactions involving Tim Hortons stock. Mr. Milroy has agreed to recuse himself from participating in meetings of the BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. board of directors and our Board if participating in a meeting would, or is reasonably likely to,
present a conflict of interest.



|(2) | Mr. Milroy was appointed to the Board on August 8, 2013 and was appointed to the Audit Committee on November 6, 2013.

|(1) | Tim Hortons has no transactional or other business relationship with SUPERVALU. The Board considered whether Mr. Sales position(s) with SUPERVALU would have an impact on his independence, from the perspective
of a general competitive conflict, and concluded that Mr. Sales independence would not be affected by his relationship with SUPERVALU. Mr. Sales has agreed to recuse himself from participating in meetings of the SUPERVALU board of
directors and our Board if participating in a meeting would, or is reasonably likely to, present a conflict of interest.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act does not apply because we are a foreign private issuer under U.S. securities laws. Our officers and directors are
required to file reports of equity ownership and changes of ownership with the Canadian Securities Administrators and do not file such reports under the Exchange Act.

Code of Ethics (Standards of Business Practices)

The
Company has adopted a Code of Ethics, which we have designated as our Standards of Business Practices, that applies to all of our officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal
accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Standards of Business Practices is available on the Companys investor website at www.timhortons-invest.com.

Audit Committee

The current members of the Audit
Committee are Mr. Endres (Chair), Mses. Brillon and Greene, and Messrs. Lees and Milroy, each of whom is independent under our independence requirements (as described below under Item 13  Director Independence), which
incorporate the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the rules of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The Board of Directors has determined that all current Audit Committee members are financially literate and
that Messrs. Endres and Milroy, and Ms. Brillon, are audit committee financial experts, as such term is defined by applicable U.S. securities laws. The Audit Committee met four times during 2013. Executive sessions comprised only of
the independent directors who were members of the Audit Committee were held at each of those meetings.



|Item 11. | Executive Compensation
|-------- | ----------------------

As a foreign private issuer in the United States, we are deemed to
comply with this Item if we provide information required by Items 6.B and 6.E.2 of Form 20-F, with more detailed information provided if otherwise made publicly available or required to be disclosed in Canada. We have provided information required
by Items 6.B and 6.E.2 of Form 20-F in our management proxy circular related to the Meeting (the proxy circular) and have filed it through the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR), the
Canadian equivalent of the SECs Next-Generation EDGAR system, at www.sedar.com. In addition, our proxy circular has been furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K. As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are not required to disclose
executive compensation according to the requirements of Regulation S-K that apply to U.S. domestic issuers, and we are otherwise not required to adhere to the U.S. requirements relative to certain other proxy disclosures and requirements. Our
executive compensation disclosure complies with Canadian requirements, which are, in most respects, substantially similar to the U.S. rules. We generally attempt to comply with the spirit of the U.S. proxy rules when possible and to the extent that
they do not conflict, in whole or in part, with required Canadian corporate or securities requirements or disclosure.

All dollar amounts included in this
Item 11 are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise expressly stated to be in U.S. dollars.

Human Resource and Compensation Committee

The Human Resource and Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing our executive compensation policies and practices and administering compensation
programs for our executive officers and any other officers that report directly to the CEO. It determines all elements of executive compensation, other than for the President and CEO, including any change of control or severance arrangements. The
Board determines all aspects of the CEOs compensation, including respective plans, programs and arrangements, based on its review and the Committees recommendation, in executive session, as required by the Committee charter.

The Committee met five times in 2013. It held an executive session at each meeting, consisting only of the Committees independent directors and without
management present.

Pre-approval policy

The Human Resource and Compensation Committee pre-approves services and fees to be provided by an independent compensation consultant prior to any formal
engagement, similar to the Audit Committees pre-approval policy for services and fees relating to the independent auditor. Prior to the beginning of the year, the independent consultant develops a project plan that sets out the services to be
performed over the coming year and the estimated fees. The Committee approves the specific terms of the independent consultants engagement, and the project plan and related fees of the independent consultant, annually.

|A. | Philosophy and Approach
|-- | -----------------------

Tim Hortons is one of the largest publicly-traded restaurant chains in North
America based on market capitalization, and the largest in Canada. We strive to deliver strong results and generate value for our shareholders.

Our
compensation philosophy is based on two fundamental objectives:



|1. | align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders (pay for performance link)

|2. | attract and retain key talent required for us to deliver on our strategic plan

Aligning the Interests of
Executives and Shareholders

Pay for Performance

We believe in aligning executive pay with performance. That is why our compensation programs are designed to tie a substantial majority of total executive
compensation to business performance over both the short- and long-term.

In 2013, over 70% of the compensation awarded to our named executives was
contingent on performance and not guaranteed. The CEO has the highest proportion of pay-at-risk, with a heavier weighting on long-term equity compensation than the other named executives. Because a significant portion of compensation is at-risk, we
evaluate our compensation programs annually to confirm they do not encourage excessive risk-taking.

Say on Pay

The Board believes that shareholders should have an opportunity to formally express their views on the compensation of the named executives. Accordingly, in
2013, we held our first say on pay advisory vote, giving shareholders an opportunity to participate every year in a non-binding advisory vote on our approach to executive compensation.

Share Ownership

We require our executives (and other
senior officers) to own Tim Hortons equity to further align their interests with those of our shareholders. The Committee reviews our share ownership guidelines periodically to verify that they are in line with the market practice of Canadian retail
companies and certain peer companies in Canada and the U.S.

In February 2013, we increased the share ownership requirement for the President and CEO to
five times base salary (from four times). In February 2014, we increased the requirement for the Executive Vice President level to two times base salary (from one time), and officers will now have five years instead of four years from their hire or
promotion date to accumulate sufficient equity to meet the guidelines. We include common shares and vested, unexercised options in the calculation. We believe that these changes better align our share ownership guidelines with the market, strengthen
alignment between the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders, and foster a longer-term focus.

The table below shows the ownership
requirements by officer level.



|                          |  |                          |                 | 
|------------------------- |  | ------------------------ | --------------- | 
|Officer Level             |  | Share OwnershipGuideline |                
|President and CEO         |  |                          | 5 x base salary | 
|Other Named Executives    |  |                          | 3 x base salary | 
|Executive Vice Presidents |  |                          | 2 x base salary | 
|Other Senior Executives   |  |                          | 1 x base salary | 
|Vice Presidents           |  |                          | $80,000         | 

The Committee reviews compliance with the guidelines once a year, and an executive who does not comply may face disciplinary
action. The guidelines do not apply to officers who are within five years of a planned retirement. Executives are not required to maintain their ownership levels after retirement.

The table below shows the equity ownership of each named executive as at December 31, 2013. The dollar
values are based on a share price of $56.75, the average price of our common shares on the TSX in 2013. As of the end of 2013, all of the named executives (except for Mr. Caira) have met the requirement. Mr. Caira became President and CEO
on July 2, 2013 and has five years to meet the guidelines. Mr. House meets our share ownership guidelines for directors (see page 7 for details).

Attracting and Retaining Talent

Our strong brand, combined with our ability to offer a total compensation package that is fair and competitive within the markets in which we compete for
talent, are key elements in our ability to attract and retain key talent.

Benchmarking

The Committee uses benchmarking data as a guideline every year to confirm that our executive compensation is consistent with our compensation philosophy, and
that our compensation market position and compensation mix are competitive in the marketplace in which we compete for talent.

The comparator group used
as a basis to establish 2013 compensation was developed from a compensation review conducted in 2010 by Meridian Compensation Partners Inc. (formerly Hewitt Associates), the Committees previous independent consultant. That comparator group
consisted of companies that were similar to us in size, operating scope, geographical reach and various financial considerations. Due to a lack of Canadian food and beverage companies that are similar in size of revenues and number of employees,
companies from a general industry group (including retail organizations that are subsidiaries of U.S. or global companies) were added to the comparator group. Both management and the Committee reviewed the comparator group for relevance.

The table below lists the Canadian comparator group that the Committee used as its primary market reference when making compensation decisions for our named
executives for the past three years:

The Committee also reviewed U.S. companies, primarily for operational roles, in light of our expanding U.S. presence and
growing need to recruit senior executive talent in North America. The results of the Canadian comparator group and the U.S. comparator group listed below were averaged together to create a blended North American group, which was used by the
Committee as a secondary point of reference.

Note that the companies listed under the 2013 Canadian and the 2013 U.S. Compensation Comparator Groups were as at the time of
the compensation study.

The Committee reviews the comparator group every few years and data on other peer companies from time to time as part of
its analysis. Mercer (Canada) Limited (Mercer), the Committees current independent compensation consultant, assisted with the last review in 2012. The Committee reviewed the findings in 2012, but did not use the data as any proposed
changes to executive compensation were deferred until 2013, after our corporate reorganization was complete and our new CEO was in place.



New in 2014 Beginning in 2014, we will benchmark our executive compensation against two new comparator groups developed from
Mercers 2012 review to assess our market position and compensation mix and to measure our relative performance under the new performance share unit plan (see page 33 for details).

Formal Review

The
Committee reviews our executive compensation programs annually, and conducts a formal comprehensive review every two to three years.

In 2012, with the
assistance of Mercer, the Committee undertook a comprehensive review of our short- and long-term incentive plans, including benchmarking and peer analysis, performance metrics and weightings and other plan features in the context of our business
needs, long-term performance goals and industry practice. As part of this review, the Committee conducted a custom survey to look at the various kinds of short- and long-term incentive plans in the market.

The Committees final recommendations regarding changes to these plans were reviewed and approved by the Board in February 2014 (see page 33 for program
changes that will be implemented in 2014 based on this review).

Independent Advice

The Committee can seek independent advice, which is paid for by the company. Mercer has served as the Committees independent compensation consultant
since August 2011. Mercer has provided general executive compensation advice and other advisory services, including:



| |  |  | market data, benchmarking and analysis
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | independent evaluation of proposals, data and analysis prepared by senior management
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | advice on executive compensation principles, trends and best practices
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mercer receives instructions from the
Committee chair and consults with senior management and our human resources department, as appropriate. While Mercer provides information and advice, the Committee is ultimately responsible for its own decisions and recommendations to the Board.

The Committee assesses Mercers independence every year and, in 2013, determined that Mercer was fully independent from Tim Hortons and management
after reviewing, among other things:



| |  |  | other services Mercer provided to us during the year
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the fees we paid to Mercer, as a percentage of its total revenues
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Mercers policies and procedures to prevent conflicts of interest
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | confirmation that there is no business or personal relationship between Mercers representatives and Committee members or our executives
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mercer also conducts its own internal independence assessment every year and confirmed its independence in 2013 to the Committee chair.

Pre-Approving Services

The Committee has a policy for
pre-approving services to be provided by Mercer and the corresponding fees, with the objective of confirming that these services would not impair Mercers independence.

From time to time, Mercer also provides services to us that are not related to the executive compensation advice provided to the Committee, and the
nature of these services and the fees are reviewed as part of the annual independence assessment. Marsh Canada Limited (Marsh), an affiliate of Mercer, provides insurance brokerage services to us. Total fees for those other services represent
an insignificant portion of Mercers total revenues.

The table below shows the total fees billed by Mercer and its affiliates for services
provided to us in 2013 and 2012.

Managing Compensation Risk

Every year, or as circumstances require, the Committee considers whether our executive compensation programs create or incentivize inappropriate risk-taking by
management. Our performance-based incentives represent a large portion of our executive compensation programs, so it is important that these incentives do not result in our executives taking actions that may conflict with our long-term interests.

In February 2014, the Committee concluded that our compensation structure, design and process are founded on strong principles that reduce the potential
for inappropriate risk-taking, that our compensation programs are designed and administered with the appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategies, and that our programs do not encourage executives to take
excessive risks. The Committee has also instituted several policies and practices to mitigate compensation risk and limit the possibility of excessive risk-taking by management. The Committee considered the following key elements of our compensation
programs when making these determinations.

Diligent Process

We have a formal annual budget review process that incorporates compensation planning. The Committee works with the Board and management and is focused on
establishing annual performance objectives that support our business planning and achievement of strategic objectives, while also avoiding the risks of short-term decision-making.

Benchmarking enables us to verify that executive compensation is consistent with our compensation philosophy and is appropriate, based on our industry. We
also monitor internal pay equity to confirm a proper balance of risk and reward between officer levels. Trends in executive compensation are considered periodically as well to evaluate our programs versus our peers.

As part of our risk management program, we stress test our compensation programs as appropriate, and test program design changes against historical results to
assess the impact of those changes. In 2013, we tested different performance scenarios as part of the re-design of the short-term incentive plan to verify alignment with our intended results.

Careful Plan Design

Each incentive plan is
carefully structured based on our business planning, market research and analysis, and independent advice from Mercer so that the plan design and corresponding targets and objectives are relevant and appropriate. We use qualitative and quantitative
performance factors to set performance thresholds and determine payouts under the short- and long-term incentive plans. Furthermore, the vesting period associated with some of our long-term incentives means that a gain in the short-term would not be
immediately realizable. We also cap payouts to limit the impact of extraordinary performance or large transactions. Additionally, executives do not receive accelerated vesting of their outstanding equity compensation awards when they retire.

Share Ownership Policies

Our share ownership
guidelines require executives and other senior officers to hold a pre-established amount of Tim Hortons equity during the course of their employment. The share ownership guidelines were recently increased for the President and CEO and the Executive
Vice President level to strengthen the alignment between the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders, and to foster a longer-term focus.

Trading and Anti-Hedging Policies

We have an
insider and window trading policy that applies to our directors, executives, employees, members of our franchisee advisory board and other restaurant owners as may be applicable from time to time, to prohibit improper trading of our securities.
Under this policy, insiders are restricted from trading (or advising anyone else to trade) Tim Hortons securities outside of pre-set window periods. Further, all insiders are required to pre-clear their intention to trade with a member of our
securities practice group.

We have a separate policy governing automatic trading plans, as set out under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and
applicable provisions of Canadian securities laws, which establishes safeguards and required processes for the use of automatic trading plans by our directors, executives, employees and/or restaurant owners. We also strictly prohibit our directors,
executives and employees from engaging in hedging or monetizing transactions involving Tim Hortons securities, including securities granted or vested to employees under our equity compensation programs.

Clawbacks

Since 2009, we have had a policy that allows us to recoup or clawback performance-based compensation if our consolidated financial statements need
to be restated for any reason other than a change in accounting policy with retroactive effect. In such a case, our Board will review all performance-based compensation awarded to or earned by our senior executives (and certain other employees) for
the fiscal periods materially affected by the restatement. If the Board determines that performance-based compensation was paid based on financial results that were subsequently corrected as part of a restatement, then it will seek recoupment from
those who earned such compensation, regardless of intentional wrongdoing, if deemed appropriate.

Granting and Settling Equity Compensation

We have a policy that, among other things, sets out specific parameters for all grants and settlements of equity compensation awards, and hedging
activities undertaken by us at the time we grant or settle the award. The policy is designed to mitigate the risk of the exercise price, settlement value or grant date value of any equity award (as well as any hedging transactions undertaken in
connection with the awards) being subject to manipulation by a director, executive or other insider. The policy is intended to avoid determining equity award variables on a date when we are arguably in possession of material, undisclosed information
that is not reflected in the market price of our common shares.

Use of Discretion

The Committee can use its discretion to make adjustments to minimize the positive or negative impact of extraordinary events or circumstances on corporate
performance so that actual awards made to executives reflect our underlying operating performance. If warranted, the Committee also has the discretion not to award a payout. The Committees ability to review the amount of performance awards and
the underlying factors driving the amount prior to us making the actual payment further mitigates our compensation risk.

Process for Setting Executive Pay



LOGO

Management

The CEO
typically provides insight and input to the Committee on all significant compensation decisions or recommendations that affect the named executives, other executives and Tim Hortons overall. The CEOs input is critical in reviewing compensation
for the other named executives because of his direct day-to-day involvement with them, putting him in the best position to assess their individual performance. He also shares his views on succession planning for the CEO role and positions that
report directly to the CEO.

The Executive Vice-President, Human Resources and other members of senior management also analyze and provide input on
compensation levels and mix, compensation policies, incentive plans and administration, tally sheets and other tools for setting compensation.

Human
Resource and Compensation Committee

The Committee is responsible for benchmarking and determining executive compensation, including making
recommendations to the Board with respect to CEO compensation and on material compensation matters.

Base salary, a short-term cash incentive and long-term equity-based incentives make up total
direct compensation for our executives. Together with the retirement benefits we offer, they form the most significant elements of our executive compensation program and are designed to satisfy the overall objectives of the program.

The table below describes the different components and the pay-at-risk profile for 2013 compensation. We implemented some changes to the components in 2013,
as described below, based on the Committees compensation review and our business planning. More significant changes are planned for 2014, as described beginning on page 33.

Pay Mix

In 2013, we have
generally targeted total compensation for each named executive at the 75th percentile of our 2013 compensation comparator group based on the Committees analysis and our strong relative
performance and growth over the past several years. A substantial portion is at-risk pay, which is variable and based on performance. The amount the named executive actually receives (if any) can be significantly different from the grant value of
the award.

The graphs below show the 2013 target pay mix for the CEO and other named executives:

New in 2014 The Committee revised our target pay positioning in early 2014 to reflect two new comparator groups and better align with
market practice (see page 33 for details).

|Short-Term Incentive 
Our short-term incentive award is an annual cash bonus, and represents a substantial portion of executive compensation because of our pay for performance
philosophy and the fact that our business tends to work on shorter performance cycles. The award is at-risk pay because the bonus is only paid if we achieve pre-determined performance objectives. The actual award may be above or below target,
depending on the extent of achievement of the performance objective.  The Committee
took a stepped approach to revising the plan in early 2013 that consisted of making incremental changes for 2013 and establishing a set of principles to guide plan changes for 2014. The Committee deemed this appropriate in light of our new
organizational structure, our goal of reinforcing functional accountability among the named executives, and the CEO search that was underway at the time. |  |  |  | Guiding
Principles 
       Plan changes will support our new organizational structure and
reinforce functional and individual accountability        Business unit
measures will form part of the performance metrics        Plan design
will be flexible to allow top-line financial metrics and more corporate and business unit level operational or strategic objectives to be included in 2014

The first phase was implemented in 2013 and involved adjusting the weighting of EBIT, the performance objective we have used
for many years, to support our new organizational structure and focus on business unit objectives.

Measuring Performance

The Committee retained EBIT as the only performance objective for 2013 because, at that time, the Committee considered that:



| |  |  | EBIT is an important indicator of the financial health and performance of our business and each executive officer has the ability to make a meaningful contribution to EBIT
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In 2013, EBIT was the corporate performance metric in the incentive plans for our other employees, so our collective interests were aligned to achieve the same goal. It is also a key performance measure used by other
quick service restaurant companies, which allows us to compare relative performance using a similar measure
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company performance for our
named executives in 2013 was assessed on a weighted average of corporate and business unit results, to reinforce accountability for the health and growth of our Canadian and U.S. businesses. The table below shows the weightings for each named
executive role.



|                              |  |                                               |  | 
|----------------------------- |  | --------------------------------------------- |  | 
|Named Executive               |  | EBIT Weightings                               |  | 
|CEO, CFO, COO, CMO            |  | Tim Hortons Inc.  70%Canada  15%
U.S.  15% |  | 
|                              |  |                                              
|President, Tim Hortons Canada |  | Tim Hortons Inc.  70%Canada  30%            |  | 

The Committee also established target, threshold and maximum performance objectives on a payout curve. Payouts range from 50%
to 150% of the target award depending on our financial performance. No award is paid if we do not achieve threshold performance.



New in 2014 The short-term incentive plan will have new performance metrics and weightings that better align with our business
priorities and support our long-term strategy (see page 34 for details).

Long-Term Incentives

Our 2013 long-term incentive awards are equity-based compensation designed to reward executives for appreciation in our share price over longer periods of
time. These awards make up the largest part of the CEOs total compensation, and represent a significant portion of total compensation for our other named executives.

Equity-based compensation is an effective way for us to achieve several goals:



| |  |  | better align the level of compensation realized by executives with our financial and share performance
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | help executives build their share ownership and increasingly align the interests of our executives and shareholders
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | focus on executing longer-term strategic plans, which form part of our annual financial and non-financial goals and objectives
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reward executives for performance that creates shareholder value
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

We used two kinds of equity-based
compensation awards in 2013, each representing 50% of the total dollar value of the target award:



| |  |  | P+RSUs  the grant value is based on performance achieved over the prior year. Once granted, P+RSUs are forward-looking because they cliff vest in 30 months and are therefore effective in retaining management
and motivating their performance through share price appreciation
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Options/SARs  these align with shareholder interests because the value of options/SARs is directly related to our share price (they have no value if our share price does not increase)
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Committee believes the equal mix and types of equity awarded enhance the link between pay and performance, better align the interests of executives and
shareholders, and strengthen our ability to retain executive talent. This mix is also consistent with market practice among TSX 60 companies. The Committee does not take into account previous grants of P+RSUs and options/SARs when granting new
awards.

New in 2014 We are implementing a performance share unit (PSU) plan in 2014 to replace P+RSUs in order to focus on longer-term
performance and better align with best practices and shareholder interests (see page 35 for details).

Retirement Benefits

Our retirement plans are designed to reward executives for continued service and provide a competitive level of retirement savings. We have a defined
contribution pension plan that covers all full-time employees and a personal supplemental executive retirement savings plan that covers the named executives and certain other members of senior management.

Defined Contribution Pension Plan

All of our Canadian
employees, including executives, are required to participate in our Canadian defined contribution pension plan.

Participants contribute 2% of their base
salary, while we contribute an amount equal to 5% of their base salary. Participants can make voluntary additional contributions, which we will match up to an additional 1% of base salary. All contributions under the plan are subject to legislated
maximum limits (a combined total of $24,270 per individual for both employer and employee contributions in 2013). Pension benefits vest immediately. Employees who are no longer employed by us may withdraw the benefit amounts prior to retirement in
accordance with Canadian laws and regulations governing the plan.

Personal Supplemental Executive Retirement Savings Plan (Savings Plan)

The Savings Plan is open to executives under 69 years old who are eligible to receive additional compensation under the plan.

At the end of each year, we contribute 12% of each participants earnings (base salary and annual cash bonus paid during the year) to the Savings
Plan, less contributions we make to the defined contribution pension plan. We invest the additional compensation in permitted investments, in either a non-registered account, a tax-free savings account (TFSA) or a registered retirement
savings plan (RRSP), according to the terms of the plan and each participants instructions. Our contribution rate is competitive with the market for these kinds of programs.

Contributions vest once a participant has completed three years of service, or earlier if they become disabled, die, are terminated after age 65 or if there
is a change in control, or in certain other circumstances as otherwise determined by the Committee. Contributions accrue in notional accounts for the participants until they vest.

Executive Benefits and Perquisites

We offer
limited executive benefits and perquisites as part of our total compensation package.

Perquisites include executive medical benefits, life and accidental
death and dismemberment insurance premiums, a company car or car allowance, and personal use of the corporate airplane in limited circumstances. We have a strict policy that generally limits the personal use of our corporate airplane by executives
and directors. There was no personal use of the corporate airplane in 2013. The value of these benefits, except for medical benefits, is included as taxable income to the executive.

The amounts reported for perquisites represent the total incremental cost of providing the benefit and not the value of the benefit to the recipient. See the
Summary Compensation Table on page 37 for more information about the perquisites.

2013 Corporate Performance

In 2013, EBIT was the only measure for assessing performance under our short-term incentive plan and for determining long-term incentive awards. Our 2013
adjusted EBIT was 6.5% higher than 2012 after certain adjustments were made. The table below shows our 2013 adjusted EBIT performance. Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure (see Appendix A to this Item 11 for more information about our use of
this non-GAAP measure, including a reconciliation to EBIT, its most directly comparable GAAP measure).

The 2013 short-term incentive payout was also based on Canadian and U.S. business unit adjusted EBIT. Our Canadian and U.S.
adjusted EBIT targets are considered confidential information, the disclosure of which would result in competitive harm to the company. We achieved 99.2% of our Canadian adjusted EBIT target. We did not hit our threshold for U.S. adjusted EBIT
performance, resulting in a 0% payout factor for U.S. performance.

Use of Discretion

The Committee can use its discretion to make adjustments to actual EBIT results for comparing performance against the established performance objectives under
the short-term incentive plan. For 2013, the Committee approved adjustments to EBIT to take into account the costs related to the corporate reorganization ($11.8 million) and the Cold Stone Creamery de-branding ($19.0 million). For compensation
purposes, the Committee believes that adjusted EBIT represents a more accurate assessment of overall operating performance and basis for aligning executive compensation.

Based on 2013 short-term incentive plan weightings, the following is the annual bonus payment for each named executive:

Long-Term Incentive

The table below shows the P+RSU awards granted to the named executives in May 2013, as well as the PSU awards that will be granted in May 2014. As a result of
the transition in 2014 from a P+RSU plan to a PSU plan based on company performance over the next three years (see page 35 for details), an award of at least 95% of the 2014 PSUs granted will be guaranteed upon vesting.

Mr. Caira was granted a Restricted Share Unit (RSU) award of $1,000,000 in August 2013.

Aligning Executive Pay with TSR Performance

As outlined in the graph above, our cumulative TSR on the TSX has increased 102.7% over the last five fiscal years. During this period, aggregate named
executive compensation as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table has been in the range of $10.3 million to $12.0 million. Although this range has been impacted by changes to our named executives over this period, actual payouts under the
performance-based compensation plans were aligned with changes in TSR in all years except 2013.

This alignment is demonstrated in the graph below that
compares the trend between our annual TSR and the impact of company performance on payouts under our performance-based compensation plans (i.e., short-term incentive plan and P+RSU plan). In 2010 and 2011, our financial performance was
strong, which was reflected in the companys TSR and through our performance-based awards being above target during these years. In 2012, our pay for performance philosophy was again demonstrated as we fell short of meeting our performance
objectives which resulted in performance-based awards being below target and a drop in TSR in that year. In 2013, our TSR increased, however we fell short on our key performance objective of adjusted EBIT and therefore performance-based awards were
below target for our named executives.

The Committee believes the impact that company performance has on compensation is effective in supporting the
total investment return to shareholders.

|(1) | Total Shareholder Return (TSR)
|--- | ------------------------------

The annual percentage return on Tim Hortons shares traded on
the TSX from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2013, including the reinvestment of dividends.



|(2) | Payout of Performance-Based Awards
|--- | ----------------------------------

The impact that our performance had each year on target
payouts under the short-term incentive and P+RSU plans. For example, in 2010, our short-term and P+RSU plans paid out at 5% above target level. For 2013, we have included actual payouts under our short-term incentive plan, and PSUs at target level
as we transition from P+RSUs to PSUs.

The majority of our performance-based compensation during this period was based on our operating income, or EBIT
performance. As such, we have also provided below a comparison of aggregate named executive compensation to our EBIT performance.

##### Table of Contents

Our 2010 EBIT and named executive compensation as a percentage of EBIT reflect the gain on the
sale of our 50% joint venture interest in Maidstone Bakeries, and other significant events that occurred in 2010. Eliminating the impact of these events on 2010 EBIT, named executive compensation as a percentage of EBIT would have been 2.0%.

|(2) | Total compensation awarded to the named executives applies to the named executives for each applicable year and includes base salary, short-term (annual cash) incentive, and the grant value of equity awards and
other compensation (excluding severance), as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable years.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although our named
executives have changed over this period, compensation has remained relatively stable while reported EBIT has steadily increased. The increase in EBIT in fiscal 2010 reflects the impact of the gain on the sale of our 50% joint venture interest in
Maidstone Bakeries, which was not included when determining compensation for the named executives. Reported EBIT increased 4.5% in 2013 and 18.2% over the past five years, while compensation as a percentage of EBIT has remained relatively flat at
approximately 2%.

We believe that these results, coupled with the analysis discussed above with respect to TSR, support our conclusion that EBIT as a
performance objective was effective in delivering compensation to our named executives over time in a manner consistent with our pay for performance philosophy and in a manner that represents alignment with long-term shareholder value.

|G. | 2014 Program Changes and Compensation Decisions
|-- | -----------------------------------------------

The Committee implemented a number of changes to
executive compensation for 2014 to support the implementation of our new organizational structure and better align our compensation programs with our business priorities and long-term strategic plan. The changes made were based on additional
research and analysis following the 2012 compensation review, and input from our new President and CEO.

The changes, which focus on the following main
areas, have been reviewed and approved by the Committee and the Board.

|Comparator Groups 
Beginning in 2014, we will benchmark executive compensation against two new comparator groups developed from the 2012 review to assess our market position and
compensation mix, and to measure our relative performance under the new PSU plan. 
The new comparator groups were established as a means of confirming that our compensation is competitive relative to the North American quick-service
retail food industry and Canadian general industry companies similar to us (i.e., size and scope) that we compete with for executive talent, guests and capital. 
Companies were selected based on four key selection criteria (described in the box to the right) and were reviewed by management and the Committee to confirm

Compensation Philosophy and Target Pay
Positioning

We have reviewed our compensation philosophy and determined that our two fundamental objectives of (i) aligning management interests
with shareholders and (ii) attracting and retaining key talent, remain appropriate to support our long-term strategy.

With respect to establishing
base salary and total direct compensation for our executive officers, beginning in 2014, the median (50th percentile) of our comparator groups will provide guidance to the Committee in
establishing the appropriate target compensation for each role, with actual pay positioning based on company performance and the executives responsibilities, experience, contributions and other considerations. This will align our pay
positioning more closely with market practice and support our compensation philosophy objective of attracting and retaining key talent. The impact of this on executive compensation for 2014 is outlined under 2014 Compensation Decisions.

|Short-Term Incentive Plan 
We are introducing several changes to the short-term incentive plan in 2014 to link compensation to a greater degree with the way we manage our business and to
provide a direct alignment with business priorities.  For 2014, performance objectives
under the plan are based on corporate performance, business unit performance and achievement by the executive officer of individual strategic objectives set annually by the CEO. |  |  |  | Benefits of
the New Plan Design 
      Measures core objectives that align company, restaurant owner and
shareholder interests       Drives the executive group to focus on delivering
sustainable top and bottom line performance       Reinforces accountability at
functional (corporate centre/business unit) and individual levels
      Promotes collaboration and support among corporate and business unit
roles       Strengthens our ability to focus on strategic priorities at the
individual and team level       Aligns with market practice

Core Metrics

Corporate
and business unit performance will be based on the following core metrics:

For Net Income attributable to Tim
Hortons Inc., we have established a performance range of 90% to 105% of target and a payout range from 50% to 175%, with performance below 90% resulting in a 0% payout factor for that metric. For all other metrics, the Committee will continue to
establish target, threshold and maximum performance levels every year based on business expectations and market conditions. Threshold performance will pay at 50% of target and maximum performance at 175% of target. The Committee also did stress
testing and back testing to confirm that the plan re-design is structured appropriately to address different performance scenarios.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

New PSU Plan

We are implementing a
performance share unit (PSU) plan in 2014 to drive longer-term performance and enhanced alignment with market best practices and shareholder interests. Our PSU plan will replace our P+RSU plan in May 2014 and will represent 50% of the
long-term incentive award granted to executive officers. Options/SARs will continue to make up the remaining 50%.

The PSU plan will be based on
two key performance metrics:

Return on Assets (ROA) (75% weighting)

Return on assets is a meaningful metric that allows for a direct focus on the management of our assets. ROA is defined as Net Operating Profit after Tax
divided by Average Total Assets (total assets excludes the effect of foreign exchange by using a budgeted exchange rate).

Relative TSR (25% weighting)

Our TSR (share price appreciation plus reinvested dividends) compared to the TSR of our two new compensation comparator groups:



| |  |  | North American group (quick service restaurants) (60% weighting)
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Canadian group (general industry companies) (40% weighting)
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

The following outlines the payout at specified
performance factors:



|          |     |   |                 |                     |                          |

|          | 175 | % |                 | Maximum (and above) |                          | 75th percentile and above
|          | 100 | % |                 | Target              |                          | 50th percentile          
|          | 50  | % |                 | Threshold (minimum) |                          | 25th percentile          
|          | 0   | % |                 | Below threshold     |                          | Below 25th percentile    



|(1) | Performance results in between the specified performance levels will result in payouts based on a straight line scale.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We believe using both an internal return metric and relative TSR balances the focus on overall company performance, market conditions and shareholder return.
It also clearly differentiates the long-term incentive plan from the short-term incentive plan.

The vesting and actual award of shares under the PSU plan
will occur at the end of the three-year performance period based on performance against pre-established annual ROA targets and our relative TSR over a three-year period. Regardless of actual ROA and TSR performance on a consolidated basis, a minimum
of 50% of the PSUs will vest in order to support an element of retention within our long-term incentive plan. For the 2014 grant only, we will guarantee that a minimum of 95% of PSUs will vest due to the transition from the former P+RSU plan, for
which the performance objective was pre-determined in February 2013.

2014 Compensation Decisions

Based on the market data results from the 2012 compensation review and the changes to target compensation positioning (to 50th percentile of new comparator groups versus 75th percentile of former comparator groups), no significant changes were made to total direct
compensation for each named executive as the results of the review indicated that the 50th percentile of the new comparator groups was generally in line with the 75th percentile of the former comparator groups. However, it was determined that a shift from short-term incentive compensation to base salary over a two-year period was necessary to properly align the
compensation pay mix with our new target compensation positioning. The median of our comparator groups will also provide guidance to the Committee in establishing the appropriate compensation mix of total direct compensation. In February 2015, we
will review compensation for each named executive and may make any necessary adjustments as required to better align with our new target compensation positioning.

|(1) | Salary for Mr. Caira is pro-rated based on his start date of July 2, 2013. Salary for Mr. House includes $389,215 for compensation as President and CEO for the period from January 1 to
July 1, 2013, $236,000 as compensation for transitional services, and a Chairman retainer of $150,000 for the period commencing July 2, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

|(2) | Share-Based Awards are the grant value of P+RSUs and RSUs based on the closing price of our common shares on the TSX on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. In August 2013, Mr. Caira
received an RSU award of $1,000,000 pursuant to his offer of employment. Historically, P+RSUs were reported in respect of the companys performance for the fiscal year, but were actually awarded to the named executive in the following year and
in respect of that year of service. For example, P+RSUs awarded in May 2013 were reported in the 2012 fiscal year as they were based on 2012 company performance but were awarded in respect of the employees service in 2013. In 2014, we are
transitioning from a P+RSU award to a PSU award, and as such awards will no longer be based upon the companys performance in the prior fiscal year; rather, PSUs awarded in May 2014 will be reported in the 2014 fiscal year and will be awarded
in respect of that year of service.

|(3) | Option-Based Awards are the grant value of options/SARs. Mr. Caira received an option/SAR award in August 2013 pursuant to his offer of employment.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amounts are the grant date fair value of options/SARs. For compensation purposes, we used the Black-Scholes valuation methodology to determine
the number of options/SARs to grant based on the following variables:

To determine the number of options/SARs, we reduce the intended compensation value (the numerator) by a factor
that reflects the impact of vesting and other plan design features that are considered in the calculation of the Black-Scholes value (the denominator). The Committee chose the Black-Scholes methodology because it is a long-standing and common
valuation methodology used by public companies and, therefore, facilitates comparisons for benchmarking purposes.



|(4) | Annual Incentive Plans represent the annual cash incentive awarded to each named executive. The amount awarded to Mr. Caira for 2013 was prorated for the time he served as President and CEO.
Mr. House was entitled to a short-term incentive award for all of 2013.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) | Pension Value represents employer contributions to the defined contribution pension plan. No above-market or preferential earnings on non-qualified deferred contribution pension plans were paid or credited in
2013, 2012 or 2011.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) | All Other Compensation includes the items listed in the table below. All of these items are treated as taxable benefits to the named executive, except for the executive medical benefit.

The values for the company car were determined based on total incremental costs of the lease payments, gas
costs, insurance, and maintenance costs for the vehicle. Executive medical costs are the actual costs of executive medical assessments paid for by us. Dividend Equivalents on RSUs/P+RSUs represent the value on the dividend payment date of dividend
equivalents on unvested RSUs/P+RSUs. Amounts in the Other column for 2013 include:



| |  |  | Mr. House: a cash payment of $187,928 in lieu of a company contribution to the Savings Plan; transportation costs of $23,846 (including taxes; this amount reflects allocated costs of the employee who provided
executive and other transportation services for us and the variable costs associated with the company vehicle); company retirement gifts valued at $29,116 (including taxes); and $9,600 as car allowance.

| |  |  | Mr. Clanachan: $13,053 (including taxes) for tax preparation as Mr. Clanachan is required to work in the U.S. and must file U.S. tax returns.

Additional Notes to the Summary Compensation Table

Accounting treatment of P+RSUs

P+RSUs are expensed over a
shorter period if the participant is eligible for retirement. We determine the accounting expense by spreading the compensation award value in the Summary Compensation Table equally over the number of months in the period starting from the date the
performance target is set for a particular award (March) through either the grant date (May of the following year) for participants who are eligible for retirement (a total of 15 months), or the end of the 30-month vesting period for those
who are not eligible for retirement (a total of 45 months).

We do not have accelerated vesting of awards on retirement; however, the accounting rules
require P+RSUs be fully expensed on the grant date for retirement-eligible participants because they have satisfied all performance conditions and are subject only to time vesting restrictions.

Accounting treatment of options/SARs

The grant date fair
value determined for compensation purposes will differ from the accounting fair value disclosed in our financial statements. This is mainly because the option/SAR grants use a shorter maturity date or term for accounting purposes, and this also
affects variables such as the risk-free interest rate and share price volatility for accounting purposes.

We determine the compensation expense
associated with options/SARs based on different Black-Scholes values for retirement-eligible and non-retirement-eligible participants due to the much shorter term for retirement-eligible participants and the resulting impact on the Black-Scholes
value.

The table below shows the Black-Scholes values used to calculate the grant date accounting value for grants of options with tandem SARs, and the
accounting values of the total option/SAR awards granted to the named executives:

|(1) | Number of Securities Underlying Unexercised Options is the number of outstanding options/SARs granted to the named executives since 2008.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Option Exercise Price is the exercise price of granted options/SARs which, starting in October 2009, was the closing price of our common shares as reported on the TSX for the trading day immediately preceding the
grant date. For grants made earlier, the exercise price was the mean of the high and low stock price of our common shares on the TSX on the grant date.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Value of Unexercised In-The-Money Options is the difference between the exercise price and $62.29, the closing price of our common shares on the TSX on December 27, 2013, the last trading day of the fiscal
year.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | Number of Shares or Units of Shares That Have Not Vested is the number of P+RSUs and/or RSUs granted to the named executives that had not vested as of December 27, 2013, plus unvested dividend equivalent
rights (DERs) earned on P+RSUs and/or RSUs after the grant date of the award. The named executives automatically accumulate additional RSUs after grant each time we pay a dividend on our common shares. The additional RSUs vest at the same time as
the underlying RSUs. See note 6 to the Summary Compensation Table for the value of these DERs. DERs do not begin accruing until after the performance condition is satisfied and the P+RSUs are granted (as RSUs). P+RSUs were based on the financial
results of the prior completed fiscal year and were not granted in May 2009 because we did not meet our 2008 EBIT performance target.

|(6) | The named executives do not currently have any vested share-based awards that have not been paid out or distributed.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The following table sets forth the securities authorized for issue under our long-term incentive plan at the end of 2013.

|(1) | The total number of securities of 1,502,663 in column (a) includes:
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 306,932 RSUs, including RSUs issued as a result of the vesting of P+RSUs (consisting of 31,017 RSUs under the 2006 Plan and 275,915 RSUs under the 2012 Plan, as defined below), subject to vesting requirements, and
dividend equivalent rights associated with the RSUs.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 1,195,731 options/SARs (consisting of 602,315 options/ SARs under the 2006 Plan and 593,416 options/SARs under the 2012 Plan). Only 573,860 of the 1,195,731 options/SARs outstanding at December 29, 2013 were
exercisable as of that date due to vesting requirements. Historically, SARs have been settled in cash and the associated options cancelled, while RSUs have been settled by way of a purchase on the open market by an agent of Tim Hortons on behalf of
the eligible employee or a disbursement of shares from The TDL RSU Employee Benefit Plan Trust.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | The average exercise price in column (b) is based only on options/SARs because RSUs (including P+RSUs) have time-based vesting and do not require a recipient to pay an exercise price on vesting and settlement.
Under our equity grant and settlement policy, the exercise price of options/SARs is equal to the market price for these securities as of the grant date (set as the closing price of our common shares on the TSX on the business day immediately
preceding the grant date). Although there is no purchase price for RSUs, the number of RSUs awarded is determined based on the grant date market value similar to options/SARs, as determined under our equity grant and settlement policy.

Before making annual equity compensation awards, the Committee considers the impact of the new awards on dilution, overhang, and the burn
rate of annual grants against the number of total common shares outstanding. These are included in the table below, and are low by industry standards.



|                                                                                                                                                    |  |                   |      |

|Dilution: total number of equity awards outstanding divided by the total number of common shares outstanding                                        |  |                   | 1.06 | %
|Overhang: total number of equity awards available to grant plus equity awards outstanding, divided by the total number of common shares
outstanding |  |                   | 2.05 | %
|Burn rate: number of equity awards issued in 2013, divided by the total number of common shares outstanding                                         |  |                   | 0.37 | %

We have two equity compensation plans:



| |  |  | 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (2012 Plan)  an omnibus plan that gives us flexibility to choose from different equity-based compensation awards. The plan was approved by shareholders on May 10, 2012,
and terminates on May 10, 2022 (the tenth anniversary from the date it was approved). See Appendix B to this Item 11 for a description of the terms and conditions of the 2012 Plan.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (2006 Plan)  an omnibus plan with terms similar to the 2012 Plan. We stopped making awards under the 2006 Plan as of May 10, 2012, although the 2006 Plan governs all
outstanding awards issued under that plan until all such awards are settled.

the 2012 Plan  1,455,782 equity awards, representing the potential issuance of

Termination and Change in Control

We have change in control agreements with each named executive (other than Mr. House, following his retirement as President and CEO) that provide benefits
that are similar to those offered by comparable companies.

The Committee believes that appropriate change in control benefits encourage the ongoing
commitment of named executives to make decisions in the best interests of shareholders and free from conflicting concerns during a change in control, which is generally a time of uncertainty and often results in loss of employment. These benefits
are also intended to provide stability and continuity of management during and after the change in control transaction.

Change in Control Agreements

Our change in control agreements include the following key elements:



| |  |  | a double trigger  there must be both a change in control and termination of employment by the company (other than for cause or death) or by the executive for good reason before any benefits are paid
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | severance for named executives  two times base salary and short-term incentive awards
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | employment protection  change in control benefits remain in place for no more than two years following a change in control
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | non-competition covenants  for the term of the named executives employment with us
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | confidentiality obligations  both during and after termination of employment
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | must pre-clear any trades in our securities with us  for one year after termination of employment, to confirm compliance with our insider trading policies and applicable law
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our incentive plans also have change in control provisions. Any payments made under the incentive plans are deducted from the amount payable under the change
in control agreements, so there is no duplication of payments.

Mr. Moir has an employment agreement with us that includes clauses related to
payments on termination of employment (see page 47 for details). There are no other individual agreements with our named executives that guarantee continued employment or that establish payments on termination of employment.

How We Define Change in Control

The change in control
agreements and the Savings Plan have different definitions of when a change in control is triggered.

Change in Control Agreements

Under our change in control agreements, change in control means any of the following:



| |  |  | anyone other than the company, one of our subsidiaries, an employee benefit plan established for the benefit of our employees or the employees of our subsidiaries, or a trust or person connected with that plan acquires
30% or more of our outstanding voting shares
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we sell all or substantially all of our assets to anyone other than one of our subsidiaries
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we are dissolved, liquidated or wound up
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | there is a change in the composition of the Board following a contested election of directors, and the directors before the event no longer constitute 70% of the directors after the event
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | there is a merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into Tim Hortons Inc. or in which our securities are issued, unless it is a non-control transaction, where:
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | - |  | our shareholders before the transaction hold at least 70% of the voting power of the surviving corporation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of voting power before the transaction,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | - |  | the members of the board immediately before the transaction constitute at least twothirds of the board of the surviving corporation, and

any person who immediately before the transaction had beneficial ownership of at least 30% of the voting power of our company
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Savings Plan

Under our Savings Plan, change in control means any of the following:



| |  |  | an unaffiliated entity directly or indirectly acquires a majority of the voting shares of Tim Hortons Inc. or our subsidiary, The TDL Group Corp. (TDL)
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we or TDL merge or amalgamate into an unaffiliated entity, when a majority of our voting shares or TDL are acquired, directly or indirectly, by an unaffiliated entity
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an unaffiliated entity acquires all or substantially all of our assets or the assets of TDL
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an affiliate that employs any participant who is and continues to be employed by a person other than Tim Hortons Inc. or TDL, ceases to be our affiliate for any reason
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following events are not considered a change in control:



| |  |  | we, TDL or an affiliate amalgamate with or dissolve into Tim Hortons Inc., TDL or an affiliate
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an affiliate acquires all or substantially all of our, TDLs or an affiliates assets or voting shares
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Termination Following a Change in Control (Without Cause or For Good Reason)

Under the change in control agreements, we consider an executive to be terminated without cause, or to be terminating his or her own employment for good
reason, if we (or a successor corporation) do any of the following after a change in control:



| |  |  | change the named executives status, title, position or responsibilities and, in his or her reasonable judgment, the change is not a promotion
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assign the named executive duties and responsibilities that, in his or her reasonable judgment, are not consistent with his or her status, title, position or responsibilities
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reduce the named executives base salary
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | remove the named executive from, or do not re-appoint or re-elect him or her to, a position he or she held before the change in control (except in connection with a termination for disability, cause, as a result of his
or her death, or by the named executive other than for good reason)
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require the named executive to be based more than 50 kilometres from the business office from which he or she worked immediately before the change in control (except for reasonably required business travel that is not
materially greater than the travel requirements before the change in control)
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fail to provide compensation and benefits (including benefit levels and/or reward opportunities) substantially similar to those the named executive was receiving before the change in control, or take any action that
would directly or indirectly materially reduce any benefit or deprive him or her of any material benefit provided before the change in control
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | materially breach the change in control agreement
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

Under the change in control agreements, a named
executives right to terminate his or her own employment for good reason is not affected by his or her incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

Termination for Cause Following a Change in Control

Under the change in control agreements, we can terminate an executive for cause when he or she:



| |  |  | willfully and continually fails to substantially perform his or her duties (other than because of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) for at least 14 days after prior notice
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | willfully engages in conduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to us
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | otherwise materially breaches his or her employment agreement with us, including by voluntarily terminating employment with us
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A named executives action or failure to act is willful if he or she acts (or fails to act) without good faith and without a reasonable belief that the
action or failure to act was in our best interest.

##### Table of Contents



|(1) | For Short-Term Incentive Plan and Long-Term Incentives above, retirement is defined as age 60 and 10 years of service. For Mr. Caira, retirement is defined as age 60 and 3 years of service
pursuant to his offer of employment.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | In addition, life insurance, other medical and health insurance, and monthly car allowance will continue for two years.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Any payments made under the short-tern incentive plan as a result of a change in control will reduce the amount payable under the named executives change in control agreement as short-term incentive compensation
for the year in which termination occurs.

Payments Following a Termination of Employment

The following table sets out the amounts the named executives would have received if their employment was terminated on December 29, 2013 under various
scenarios. References to Termination for Cause or Without Cause in the table below are actions that may be taken by us. References to Termination for Good Reason in the table below are actions that may be taken by
the named executives.

With the exception of Mr. Moir, whose entitlements are set forth in his employment agreement, under applicable law, we may be
required to pay severance to executives upon a termination by us without cause, in addition to the amounts set forth in the table below. These amounts would be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and would vary depending on the executives
tenure, date of separation from service with us and other factors. As such, we have not attempted to quantify those amounts.

##### Table of Contents



|(1) | Cash Severance related to a termination following a change in control for each named executive consists of a lump sum equal to the greater of:
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | two times the current years base salary plus target short-term incentive, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | two times the average of current year plus two prior years base salary and target short-term incentive.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lump sums are to be paid out within 10 days of the termination date. The only exception is to the extent that Mr. Clanachan is subject to
the taxation laws of the United States and is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, he will not receive any of the lump sum until
the first business day of the seventh month following his termination date.



|(2) | Any short-term incentive plan payout under a Termination Without Cause or termination for Good Reason following a change in control is deducted from the amount payable under the change in control
agreements so there is no duplication of payment. The plan establishes a minimum incentive payment for the year the change in control occurs. Reported amounts in scenarios other than change in control reflect amounts set forth in the Summary
Compensation Table.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(3) | The value of unvested P+RSUs is based on $62.29, the closing price of our common shares on the TSX on December 27, 2013. The value of unexercised, unvested, in the money options/SARs is based on the difference (or
spread) between the exercise prices and $62.29, multiplied by the number of unvested options/SARs.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(4) | Represents gross contribution under the Savings Plan for 2013 made after December 31stof that year. Our actual contribution was after deducting all applicable
withholding taxes unless the contribution was directed to an RRSP.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(5) | Represents accumulated amounts in the Savings Plan and defined contribution pension plan as of December 31, 2013, that the named executives are entitled to receive in the event of termination for any reason,
including following a change in control. The change in control does not result in additional payments to these accumulated balances.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(6) | Other Benefits related to a termination following a change in control for each named executive consist of:
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the employer contributions the named executive would have accrued under the Savings Plan and defined contribution pension plan for the two years following the change in
control. Various assumptions were used to determine these values, including future base salaries remaining at 2014 levels, achievement of cash incentives at target for 2014 and 2015 fiscal years, employer contributions to the defined
contribution pension plan remaining at 2014 levels, and the use of the long-term bond rate to determine present value,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continuation of life insurance and other medical and health insurance for the two years following termination, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payment of a monthly car allowance for the two years following termination based on a pre-determined amount for the car, gas, maintenance and insurance for the grade level of the executive officer, as established by us
from time to time.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, pursuant to Mr. Moirs employment agreement, he is entitled to payments that he
would have received if he continued his employment until August 31, 2014. See page 47 for more information.



|(7) | Executives who are approved as eligible for retirement can receive short-term incentive awards (only if the Committee approves) and receive their unvested P+RSUs and options/SARs, which will continue to vest over the
scheduled vesting period, on voluntary retirement. We have therefore included these amounts in the above table under the description Retirement/Resignationand Termination Without Cause. Mr. Caira, Ms. Devine,
Mr. Clanachan and Mr. Walton are not currently eligible for retirement, so no amounts are shown under the short-term incentive plan and equity for termination under those circumstances.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(8) | Under the change in control agreements, a named executives right to terminate his or her employment for Good Reason is not affected by his or her incapacity due to physical or mental illness.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Termination without Good Reason by a named executive may include retirement or resignation. Named executives who
are eligible for retirement, however, may be able to receive short- and long-term incentive awards, if the Committee approves.

Retention Agreements

On August 8, 2012, we entered into retention agreements with certain senior officers, including the four named executives in the table below, to provide
stability while the Board carried out its search for a new President and CEO and the transitional period after the new CEOs appointment.

These
executives will qualify for a retention award equal to their base salary as of August 7, 2012 if they remain continuously employed by us nine months after a new President and CEO is hired. Mr. Moir must continue as CMO through the payment
date of the retention award to qualify for the award.

The Board appointed Mr. Caira as President and CEO effective July 2, 2013. Executives who
qualify on April 2, 2014 will receive a lump sum cash award as outlined in the table below.

If we terminate an executive for any reason before
April 2, 2014, he or she will not receive the award.

Employment Agreements

We
have an employment agreement with Mr. Moir that covers the period from August 8, 2012 to August 31, 2014.

Mr. Moir will serve as CMO
until his successor is appointed. If the new CMO is appointed before August 31, 2014, Mr. Moir will continue to serve as executive team leader for our sustainability and responsibility program and President of the Tim Horton
Childrens Foundation. He will also support the CMO transition as determined by the CEO. During the employment period, he will receive the same level of compensation he received in 2012 unless the Committee approves an increase. His
participation in the short- and long-term incentive plans will be the same as it was before August 8, 2012, unless the Committee makes a change at its discretion that applies to all named executives. At the end of the employment period,
Mr. Moir will be retired for all purposes under our compensation, benefit and pension plans, programs and policies, unless by separate agreement we choose to continue his employment.

If we terminate Mr. Moirs employment before the end of the employment period (except for cause, or if he becomes disabled or dies), he will receive
all payments, grants and benefits owed for the rest of the employment period, including the cash equivalent of equity grants and other benefits, as full and final payment. If he terminates his employment before the end of the employment period
(other than if he dies), he will receive all payments and benefits owed for the rest of the employment period. However, he will not receive any long-term incentive grants that had not yet been granted, and he will be considered retired for purposes
of unvested equity under the stock incentive plans. If he is terminated after a change in control while he is serving as CMO, the terms of his change in control agreement will apply. If he is terminated after a change in control during the
employment period, and he is no longer serving as CMO, we will treat his termination as though there had not been a change in control.

Other
Agreements

We also have employment and post-employment covenants agreements with Mr. Caira and Mr. Moir that include non-competition,
non-solicitation, confidentiality, non-disparagement and other covenants to protect Tim Hortons both during and after the employment period.

Director Compensation 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Philosophy and
Approach

Our director compensation rewards directors for the time and effort required for serving on our Board.

We place a significant emphasis on aligning the interests of our directors and our shareholders because we strongly believe that a directors level of
share ownership is an indication of his or her level of commitment to the success of Tim Hortons. The Board approves all director compensation.

Share
Ownership Guidelines

Our governance guidelines require outside directors to build their equity ownership above a minimum threshold. In February
2014, with a view to further aligning the interests of our Board with those of our shareholders, the Board increased the minimum threshold from three to four times a directors annual retainer (increased in 2014 from $90,000 to $110,000, for a
total of $440,000). This minimum threshold must be reached within five years of being appointed or elected to the Board. A director must also receive $60,000 of the annual retainer in deferred share units (DSUs) until he or she meets the
ownership requirements. Once directors meet the ownership threshold, they can elect to receive their annual retainer in cash or DSUs, or a combination of both.

The Committee periodically reviews our share ownership guidelines, and reviews compliance with the guidelines annually. As of the record date, all outside
directors exceeded the required level of ownership, other than Ms. Brillon and Mr. Milroy, who were appointed to the Board in August 2013 and have until August 2018 to meet the share ownership guidelines, and Mr. ONeill, who was
appointed to the Board in March 2014 and has until March 2019 to meet the share ownership guidelines.

Decision-making Process

We benchmark our director compensation against companies that are of a similar size and revenue base. The Committee reviews our director compensation every
year.

The last review was conducted in early 2013 and decisions were deferred to 2014, consistent with the timing of changes to our executive
compensation program. In February 2014, the Board approved certain amendments to our director compensation to align compensation levels more closely with the median of our Canadian comparator group. These changes, which are described below, became
effective in 2014.

Components

Our director
compensation has the following components:



| |  |  | annual director retainer
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | committee and chair retainers
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | meeting fees
| | - |  | ------------

Our annual director retainer in 2013 was $90,000 (increased to $110,000 in 2014), and directors
must receive $60,000 of the annual retainer in DSUs until they have met the share ownership guidelines. They can then elect to receive all of their annual retainer in cash or DSUs, or a combination of both.

Directors can also elect to receive their Committee and chair retainers and meeting fees in cash or DSUs, or a combination of both.

If the Chairman is not independent, then the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee serves as Lead Director and he or she receives an
annual retainer of $108,000, rather than the $8,000 annual retainer for serving as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee chair only, to compensate him or her for the increased workload and required contributions of that role.

About DSUs

DSUs are notional units that track the
value of our common shares. They earn dividend equivalent rights, equal to the cash dividends paid on our common shares.

DSUs are granted and vest
immediately; however, they are only paid out in cash when a director retires or leaves Board service.

2013 Compensation Details

Director Compensation Table

The table below shows the
compensation paid to our outside directors for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013.

Mr. House served as Executive Chairman, President and
CEO until July 1, 2013. During that time, he was only compensated in his role as President and CEO and did not receive any additional compensation for serving as a director.

Following Mr. Houses retirement as President and CEO, he continued to serve as non-Executive Chairman of the Board. For these services during that
period, he received $150,000. Mr. Caira was appointed to the Board on May 7, 2013, and President and CEO as of July 2, 2013, and he did not, and will not for so long as he is an officer of the company, receive any compensation for
serving as a director.

Appendix A  Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBIT for compensation purposes (adjusted EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure that we used for determining incentive awards in 2013. Adjusted
EBITs most directly comparable GAAP measure is operating income (EBIT).

A non-GAAP measure excludes the impact of discrete or
non-operating transactions on our financial results. We believe this makes it a better reflection of our operating performance, a more effective way to compare performance to prior periods, and a more appropriate measure of corporate performance for
executive compensation purposes. It is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similar measures reported by other companies.

In 2013 adjusted EBIT excluded:



| |  |  | operating income from variable interest entities (VIEs)  operating income derived from certain non-owned restaurants and from a portion of income related to our advertising funds that we are required to
consolidate. At the beginning of 2010, we adopted a new accounting standard that required us to begin consolidating operating income from VIEs we are considered to be primary beneficiary of. We believe, however, that it should not be included in
determining corporate performance for compensation purposes
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Share awards                            |  |       Common shares
awarded to eligible employees or non-employee directors as additional compensation for services rendered or in place of cash or other compensation

|Issuing common shares                   |  |       We can issue
any combination of the following kinds of common shares: 
      authorized for issue but not yet issued

      acquired by or on behalf of a trust we (or one of our subsidiaries)
establish and hold for future delivery 
      acquired by delivery of cash to a broker to acquire shares on behalf of
eligible participants 
      When we issue common shares in settlement of an equity award, the number of
common shares available for issue under the 2012 Plan awards will be reduced by the same number of shares issued in settlement

|Issue limits                            |  |       Non-employee
directors  we can grant up to 0.25% of our issued and outstanding common shares (at the time the award is granted) to non-employee directors as a group, or $100,000 to each individual non-employee director in a calendar year

      Insiders  we can grant a total of up to 10% of our issued and
outstanding common shares under all security-based compensation arrangements to all insiders as a group, and no more than 10% in any one-year period 
      U.S. residents  in any calendar year, we can grant up to
250,000 common shares as options, stock appreciation rights or performance awards that are meant to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, or US$4,000,000 in cash and
shares at their fair market value at the time the award is granted 
      There is a maximum of 2,900,000 common shares that can be issued under both
our 2012 Plan and our 2006 Plan                                                                                                     
|                                        | 
|Issuing awards on exercise              |  |       We expect to
deliver common shares acquired through the facilities of the TSX to participants when they exercise their awards. We have not issued common shares from treasury to settle equity awards since 2009
       If we
change our practice and choose to issue common shares from treasury when a participant exercises or settles the outstanding equity awards granted under the 2012 Plan, no more than 1,450,000 common shares can be issued from treasury to settle the
awards. This represented approximately 1% of our issued and outstanding common shares as at the record date 
      In Canada, the cash payments received from exercising a SAR are taxable
income to the employee. Canadian tax legislation provides that either the Canadian employer or the Canadian employee may claim a deduction for cash payments from exercising the SAR feature, but not both. Since 2011, we have made an election to forgo
our corporate tax deduction in Canada to allow Canadian employees affected by the legislation to receive favourable tax treatment in those years

|Value of awards                         |  |       Fair market
value of common shares on any relevant date means the closing price of our common shares on the TSX or, if the Committee chooses, the NYSE, on the trading day just before the relevant date

|Termination of awards |  |       If the award

|Plan administration   |  |       The Committee
administers the 2012 Plan

       It can
also use its discretion, subject to applicable law, to delegate administrative or ministerial duties, non-material decisions under the 2012 Plan and any decisions not relating to our executive officers to one or more persons

|Making changes to the
2012 Plan         |  |        Except as
described below, the Committee can amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2012 Plan and any outstanding awards, in whole or in part, at any time without giving notice to shareholders or receiving their approval, provided that all material
amendments to the 2012 Plan receive shareholder approval 
       The following changes require approval by our Board and our
shareholders: 
       increasing the maximum number of common shares that can be issued

       making a change or adjustment (other than for a stock dividend,
recapitalization or other transaction where an adjustment is permitted or required under the terms of the plan) that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of an option or SAR granted under the plan, whether through
amendment, cancellation or replacement grants, or other means 
       increasing the limits on awards that can be made to non-employee
directors and insiders 
       extending the term of an outstanding option or SAR beyond its
expiration date, except as specified for awards that expire outside of an established trading window 
       making a change that would permit options granted under the plan to be
transferred or assigned other than to settle an estate 
       changing the plans amendment provisions that is not either for
housekeeping purposes or to maintain compliance with applicable laws or regulations 
       In addition, we may not change an outstanding award under the plan in
a way that will materially adversely impair the rights of the holder without his or her consent, unless we are making the change so we can continue to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

       Examples of changes the Committee can make without shareholder
approval: 
       changes that relate to a stock dividend, recapitalization or other
transaction where an adjustment is allowed or required 
       adjustments to outstanding awards and the shares available for future
awards because of an increase or reduction in the number of shares 
       changes that relate to a change in capitalization that leads to a
change in shares or an exchange of shares for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of Tim Hortons or another corporation if there is a spin-off, dividend or other distribution of shares because of a recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, stock split, repurchase of shares, change in corporate structure or otherwise. If the holder is entitled to new, additional or different shares of our securities or of any other corporation, these shares will have the same conditions,
restrictions and performance criteria that applied to the common shares allocated to the award before the change was made 
       changing a vesting provision of any award

       changing the termination provisions of any award, but not extending it
beyond its original expiration date 
       adding a cashless exercise feature payable in securities, whether or
not it provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the plan reserve, and making a change to an existing cashless exercise provision 
       adding a form of financial assistance, and making a change to an
existing financial assistance provision 
       changing the process for exercising awards

       changes to continue to comply with applicable laws, regulations,
requirements, rules or policies of any governmental authority or stock exchange 
       housekeeping changes, including changes that eliminate
ambiguity or that correct or supplement any provision

|Termination of employment               |  |        The 2012
Plan contains provisions concerning the treatment of Awards upon termination of employment, which apply unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Award agreement, or unless otherwise determined by the Committee, with the consent of the holder

       If a holder dies or becomes disabled:

       the holders options and SARs will become immediately exercisable
and may be exercised for a period of four years following death or disability (but in no event beyond the maximum term of the option or SAR) 
       the holders performance awards will remain outstanding, and the
holder or the holders estate will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the payment otherwise payable in respect of the performance awards on the date the performance awards would have been paid if the holder had remained employed

       the holders restricted stock and stock units that are not
intended to be performance awards will become immediately vested

About the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan

The 2006 Plan is an omnibus plan that was designed to allow us to compensate employees in a variety of ways through a broad range of equity-based awards. The
terms of the 2006 Plan are substantially similar to the 2012 Plan. Since May 12, 2010: (i) no further awards were made under the 2006 Plan (although the terms of the 2006 Plan will continue to govern awards granted prior to that time), and
(ii) an aggregate maximum of 2,900,000 common shares are authorized under both the 2006 Plan and the 2012 Plan.

Related Party
Transactions

Review and approval process

The
Board has delegated responsibility to the Audit Committee for reviewing related party transactions.

The Committee has adopted a written policy for any
transaction above $75,000 in any fiscal year, between us or any direct or indirect subsidiary and any of the following:



| |  |  | any director or officer thereof or nominee for director thereof;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any immediate family member of a director or officer thereof or nominee for director or officer thereof;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any entity (A) in which any of the foregoing individuals has a direct or indirect legal or beneficial ownership interest (other than an interest that arises solely as a result of such individuals
ownership of less than 5% of the outstanding shares of a publicly-traded entity), or (B) which employs any of the foregoing individuals; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any registered or beneficial holders of greater than 5% of the total number of outstanding shares of Tim Hortons, a director or officer or nominated director of Tim Hortons or one of our subsidiaries.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Committee will review and consider each related party transaction based on its consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, to determine whether
such transactions are in our best interests. If the Committee becomes aware of a related party transaction that has not been approved under the related party transaction policy, it will, once aware of the transaction, consider all relevant facts and
circumstances and may ratify or cause the revision or termination of the transaction.

No member of the Committee that has a direct or indirect interest
in a related party transaction will participate in the deliberations or vote for an approval or ratification of that transaction. In such a case, the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested members of the Committee is necessary to
approve the transaction.

Certain transactions involving officers and directors in 2013

In 2013, none of our directors or executive officers, or nominated directors, or any of their associates or affiliates, had a direct or indirect material
interest in a matter relating to us. Set forth below are continuing transactions reviewed by the Committee under our related party transaction policy.

A
trust for the benefit of Mr. House is the sole shareholder of a company that purchased a shopping center property in Tottenham, Ontario, Canada from an unrelated third party in 1998. As part of the transaction, the company now leases a Tim
Hortons restaurant to one of our subsidiaries. There is one year remaining on the lease, with the option to renew for two five-year terms. We paid $63,000 in rent to the company in fiscal 2013, and will pay that amount in 2014. We believe the terms
of this lease are no less favourable than we could have obtained from an unrelated third party.

Mr. Milroy is Chief Executive Officer of BMO Capital
Markets, an affiliate of BMO, and is responsible for all of BMO Financial Groups businesses involving corporate, institutional and government clients in North America and globally. From time to time, we do business with BMO and its
subsidiaries  as an example, BMO provides ordinary course banking (e.g. bankers acceptances) and foreign exchange services to us. Bank of Montreal is also part of a lending syndicate (along with Royal Bank of Canada, The
Toronto-Dominion Bank and The Bank of Nova Scotia) in connection with our Supplemental Senior Revolving Credit Facility Credit Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2013. All transactions between Tim Hortons and BMO were made in the ordinary course
of business and were conducted on terms no less favourable than we could have obtained from an unrelated third party. Further, Mr. Milroy is not involved in BMOs business with Tim Hortons, and the determination of his compensation at BMO
is not affected by the existence or absence of any business relationship between us. We have also implemented various safeguards to address potential independence concerns which might arise from entering into transactions with the BMO Financial
Group. Finally, Mr. Milroy has agreed to recuse himself from participating in meetings of the BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. board of directors and our Board if participating in a meeting would or would reasonably likely present a conflict of interest.

Mr. ONeill, appointed to our Board in March 2014, is Managing Director of Google Canada. From time to time, Tim Hortons and its subsidiaries
do business with Google. For example, Tim Hortons, through its media agencies, purchases digital advertising from Google in the ordinary course of business, for insignificant amounts representing less than 0.1% of Google Inc.s annual revenues.
However, the determination of Mr. ONeills compensation at Google is not affected by the existence or absence of any business relationship between us. Further, we have implemented various safeguards to address any potential
independence concerns that might arise from entering into transactions with Google (for example, any non-ordinary course transactions with Google will be subject to prior approval). Mr. ONeill has also agreed to recuse himself from
participating in meetings of our Board if participating in a meeting would, or is reasonably likely to, present a conflict of interest.

Director Independence

Avoiding Conflicts of Interest

Every year, each director
must confirm in writing any actual or potential conflicts of interest to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. If any such situation arises, then the Committee evaluates the matter and reports its assessment to the Board.

The Board consults with legal counsel, if necessary, to determine whether there is a conflict of interest between us and a director. A director must recuse
himself or herself from any discussion or decision on any matter in which the director may have an actual or potential conflict of interest.

Independence

A substantial majority of our Board
must be independent to comply with our governance guidelines, which require compliance with the independence requirements of the NYSE, the rules of the CSA and the listing standards of the TSX. All of our Committees must consist of only independent
directors. The Board broadly defines a director as independentif he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship or business conflict with Tim Hortons, and otherwise meets the definition of independence under all
applicable securities and stock exchange rules.

Members of the Audit Committee must also satisfy the increased independence standards for
serving on audit committees established by the SEC and the rules of the CSA. Each member of the Human Resource and Compensation Committee must also be a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and an outside
director, as described under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the
Board generally conduct director independence reviews every February, as well as whenever new Board or Committee appointments are proposed, such as last May when Mr. Caira was appointed to the Board; when Ms. Brillon and Mr. Milroy
were each appointed to the Board (in August) and to the Audit Committee (in November); and when Mr. ONeill was appointed to the Board in March 2014. The Board has confirmed that a substantial majority of the nominated directors (10 of 12)
are independent, according to our independence criteria. All relevant facts and circumstances were considered, from the standpoint of the director and from that of any person or organization with which the director has an affiliation or association.
The relevant independence considerations made by the Board and Committee are included under each directors respective biography, beginning on page 4. Mr. Caira is not considered independent because of his position as our President and
CEO. Mr. House, our non-executive Chairman, is not considered independent because he served as our President and CEO within the last three years. To foster and support the Boards ability to function independently of management, in light
of the Chairman not being considered independent, the Hon. Frank Iacobucci serves as our Lead Director. The Lead Director typically presides over executive sessions of the Board, consisting only of the independent directors and without management
present. Executive sessions were held at each Board and Committee meeting this past year.

Serving on other Boards

Before a director accepts another directorship, he or she must consider whether that new position will compromise his/her ability to serve on our Board.
Directors can serve on up to four other public company boards in addition to ours, without receiving prior approval from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. He or she must, however, consult with the chair of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee to confirm that the position does not pose a conflict of interest or otherwise affect his/her independence. Members of our Audit Committee can serve on a maximum of two other audit committees, in addition to ours,
without the Boards approval. The Chairman and the CEO cannot accept a position as a director of another public company without the consent of our Board.

The Board does not have a specific policy prohibiting board interlocks (i.e. serving on multiple boards). However, the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee and the Board consider interlocking or overlapping services when considering a potential director candidate, including potential conflicts of interest and/or any impact on director independence.

Tim Horton Childrens Foundation

Since the Tim Horton Childrens Foundation (the Foundation) and Tim Hortons are very closely linked in terms of community presence and
association, such that the various programs and activities of the Foundation have the potential to directly affect our brand and reputation, in May 2008, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board determined that it would be in
Tim Hortons best interest for an independent member of the Board to also serve on the Foundations board of directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board determined that such simultaneous service would not create a
conflict of interest or impair the independence of our Board members under our applicable independence requirements, and the Board adopted a Policy Regarding Independence Considerations of Service on the Board of the Tim Horton Childrens
Foundation. After the adoption of this policy, Mr. Lederer was appointed to, and continues to serve on, the Foundations board of directors.

Executive Sessions

Pursuant to the Companys
Governance Guidelines, unless waived by all independent directors, the independent directors schedule and hold regular executive sessions (without management present) at every Board and committee meeting. The Lead Director, The Hon. Frank Iacobucci,
presides at executive sessions of the independent directors, except where the principal matters to be considered are within the scope of authority of one of the other committee chairs.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Shareholders
and other interested parties may contact the Board or one or more directors by sending a written communication addressed to the Board or to any one or more directors in care of Secretary, Tim Hortons Inc., 874 Sinclair Road, Oakville, Ontario,
Canada, L6K 2Y1, in an envelope clearly marked Shareholder and/or Other Interested Party CommunicationDirect to Board of Directors or by indicating instead the name of the specific director. The Secretarys office will forward
all such correspondence unopened to either The Hon. Frank Iacobucci, the Lead Director, or to another independent director as the Board may specify from time to time, or to the director specifically named on the outside of the envelope, if
applicable. Additionally, the Board (or a Committee) periodically reviews our disclosure policy to address corporate communications with shareholders, employees, regulatory authorities and the media.

Pre-approval policy

The
Audit Committee pre-approves the audit, audit-related and non-audit services and fees to be provided by the independent auditor prior to any formal engagement, as well as the terms and fees for the annual audit, review or attestation, and must also
approve any change to the terms, conditions and fees resulting from a change to the scope of the audit or other matters. The Committee must separately pre-approve any other services. Services that are prohibited and may not be performed by the
independent auditor are set out in the policy, and compliance is monitored by management, our independent auditor and the Audit Committee.

The
Audit Committee cannot delegate to management any responsibilities for pre-approving services to be performed by the independent auditor. No services were provided by our independent auditor in 2013 that were approved by the Audit Committee under
SEC Regulation S-X Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) or National Instrument 52-110Audit Committees, Section 2.4, which addresses certain de minimis services that may be approved by the Audit Committee after they have been performed.
