2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended

 Exhibit 10(h) 
 TIM HORTONS INC. 
 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

 Amended and Restated as of September 28, 2009 
 Most Recently Amended: February 24, 2010 
 Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Tim Hortons Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to strengthen Tim Hortons Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the
“Company”) by providing an incentive to the employees and directors of the Company and the employees of its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) and thereby encouraging them to devote their abilities and industry to
the success of the Company’s and that of its Subsidiaries’ business enterprises. It is intended that this purpose be achieved by extending to Eligible Individuals (as defined herein) an added long-term incentive for high levels of
performance and unusual efforts through the grant of Restricted Stock, Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights, Performance Awards, Share Awards, and Stock Units (as each term is herein defined). Effective September 28,
2009, as a result of a corporate reorganization, the Company assumed all of the obligations of Tim Hortons Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THI”) under the Plan and all of the Prior Agreements. This Plan is hereby amended and restated
effective as of September 28, 2009 to reflect, among other modifications, the obligations assumed by the Company under the Plan and the Prior Agreements. 
 Section 2. Administration of the Plan. 
 2.1. Committee Composition;
Powers. The Plan shall be administered by the Human Resource and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board. The members of the Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board, which shall have the power at any
time, or from time to time, to remove members from the Committee or to add members thereto. Each member of the Committee shall be a Nonemployee Director and shall satisfy any applicable stock exchange requirements. The Committee shall construe and
interpret the Plan, establish such operating guidelines and rules as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and make such determinations and take such other action in connection with the Plan as it deems necessary and
advisable. It shall determine the Eligible Individuals to whom and the time or times at which Awards and Options shall be granted, the number of Shares to be subject to each Award and Option, the terms and conditions of each Award and Option and the
duration of leaves of absence which may be granted to Grantees and Optionees without constituting a termination of their employment, or status as a director for purposes of the Plan. Any such construction, interpretation, rule, determination or
other action taken by the Committee pursuant to the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive on all interested parties, including without limitation the Company and all Grantees and Optionees. With respect to Options and other Awards that are
intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall be comprised of individuals who qualify as “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In its sole
discretion, the Committee may delegate any administrative or ministerial duties associated with the Plan, as well as determinations under the Plan that are not material and do not relate to Executive Officers, to any person (including any Eligible
Individuals) it deems appropriate; provided,

 
however, that the Committee may not delegate any duties that it is required to discharge to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code or any other applicable law. 
 2.2. Committee Action. Actions by a majority of the Committee at a meeting at which a quorum is present, or actions approved in
writing by all of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award or Option
granted under it. 
 Section 3. Maximum Number of Shares Subject to Plan. 
 3.1. Number of Shares Authorized for Issuance. Subject to any adjustment as provided in the Plan, the Shares to be issued under the
Plan may be, in whole or in part, authorized but unissued Shares, Shares which have been otherwise acquired by or on behalf a trust established by either of the Company or a Subsidiary and held for future delivery, or Shares acquired by delivery of
cash to a broker to acquire Shares on behalf of employees and/or directors. The aggregate number of Shares that may be made the subject of Awards or Options granted under the Plan shall not exceed 2,900,000, and not more than 1,000,000 Shares may be
made the subject of Incentive Stock Option Awards under the Plan. The number of Shares that may be the subject of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to an Eligible Individual in any calendar year may not exceed 250,000 Shares. The number
of Shares that may be the subject of Performance Shares granted to an Eligible Individual in any calendar year may not exceed 250,000 Shares. The dollar amount of cash or the Fair Market Value of Shares that any Eligible Individual may receive in
any calendar year in respect of Performance Units denominated in dollars may not exceed U.S. $4,000,000. 
 3.2. Calculating
Shares Available. 
 (i) Upon the granting of an Award or an Option, the number of Shares available under this
Section 3 for the granting of further Awards and Options shall be reduced as follows: 
 (a) In connection with the
granting of an Award or an Option (other than the granting of a Performance Unit denominated in dollars or Dividend Equivalent Rights), the number of Shares available under this Section 3 for the granting of further Options and Awards shall be
reduced by the number of Shares in respect of which the Option or Award is granted or denominated. 
 (b) In connection with
the granting of a Performance Unit denominated in dollars, the number of Shares available under this Section 3 for the granting of further Options and Awards initially shall be reduced by an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the dollar
amount in which the Performance Unit is denominated, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Performance Unit is granted, with a corresponding adjustment if the Performance Unit is ultimately settled in whole or in part
with a different number of Shares. 
 (c) In connection with the granting of a Dividend Equivalent Right, the number of Shares
available under this Section 3 shall not be reduced; provided, however, that if Shares are issued in settlement of a Dividend Equivalent Right, the number of

  

 2 

 
Shares available for the granting of further Options and Awards under this Section 3 shall be reduced by the number of Shares so issued. 
 (ii) Whenever any outstanding Option or Award or portion thereof expires, is canceled, is settled in cash or is otherwise terminated for
any reason without having been exercised or payment having been made in respect of the entire Option or Award, the Shares allocable to the expired, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated portion of the Option or Award may again be the subject of
Options or Awards granted hereunder. In addition, upon settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right in Shares, the excess of the number of Shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right over the number of Shares issued in settlement of the Stock
Appreciation Right may again be the subject of Options or Awards granted hereunder. 
 Section 4. Restricted Stock; Stock
Units. 
 4.1. Restricted Stock. The Committee, from time to time, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan,
may grant to any Eligible Individual an Award of Restricted Stock, which shall be evidenced by an Agreement. Each Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine (including that the
Award of Restricted Stock is intended to be a Performance Award and meet the requirements set forth in Section 9) and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) such Agreements may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share
certificates. Awards of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and provisions set forth below in Sections 4.1 and 11.6. 
 (i) Rights of Grantee. Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award hereunder shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted, provided that the Grantee has
executed any and all documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such Shares, which may include an Agreement evidencing the Award, the appropriate blank share transfer powers and an escrow agreement. If a Grantee
shall fail to execute any documents which the Committee may require within the time period prescribed by the Committee at the time the Award of Restricted Stock is granted, the Award shall be null and void. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares
issued in connection with an Award of Restricted Stock shall be deposited together with the share transfer powers with an escrow agent (which may be the Company) designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise as set forth in
the Agreement, upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow agent (which may be in the form of book entry Shares), the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and to
receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares. 
 (ii) Non-Transferability. Until
all restrictions upon the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in the manner set forth in Section 4.1(iii) or 11.6, such Shares shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or
otherwise hypothecated. 
  

 3 

 (iii) Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon Shares of Restricted Stock awarded
hereunder shall lapse at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. The Agreement evidencing the Award shall set forth any such restrictions (including any restrictions based on the attainment of one or more
Performance Objectives during a specified Performance Cycle). 
 (iv) Treatment of Dividends. At the time an Award of
Shares of Restricted Stock is granted, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Grantee of dividends, or a specified portion thereof, declared or paid on such Shares by the Company shall be (a) deferred until the
lapsing of the restrictions imposed upon such Shares and (b) held by the Company for the account of the Grantee until such time. In the event that dividends are to be deferred, the Committee shall determine whether such dividends are to be
reinvested in Shares (which shall be held as additional Shares of Restricted Stock) or held in cash. If deferred dividends are to be held in cash, there may be credited interest on the amount of the account at such times and at a rate per annum as
the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Payment of deferred dividends in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock (whether held in cash or as additional Shares of Restricted Stock), together with interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be made
upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on the Shares in respect of which the deferred dividends were paid, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest accrued thereon) in respect of any Shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon
the forfeiture of such Shares. 
 (v) Delivery of Shares. Upon the lapse of the restrictions on Shares of Restricted
Stock, the Committee shall cause a share certificate or evidence of book entry Shares to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such Shares of Restricted Stock, free of all restrictions hereunder. 
 4.2. Stock Unit Awards. 
 (i) Grant. The Committee, from time to time, may grant to any Eligible Individual an Award of Stock Units, which shall be evidenced by an Agreement. Any Award of Stock Units shall be subject to the
terms and provisions of the Plan, and further subject to such other conditions as may be established by the Committee in connection with such Award, including, but not limited to, the attainment of Performance Objectives prior to the anticipated
grant date of the Award or at any other time (including with respect to a specified Performance Cycle) as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Each Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Committee may,
in its discretion, determine (including that the Award of Stock Units is intended to be a Performance Award and meet the requirements set forth in Section 9). 
 (ii) Payment of Awards. Each Stock Unit shall represent the right of the Grantee to receive a payment upon vesting of the Stock Unit or on any later date specified by the Committee (in an
applicable Agreement or otherwise) equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date the Stock Unit was granted, the vesting date or such other date as determined by the Committee at the time the Stock Unit was granted. The Committee may, at
the time a Stock Unit is granted, provide a limitation on the amount payable in respect of each Stock Unit. The Committee may provide for the settlement of Stock Units in cash or with

  

 4 

 
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the payment to which the Grantee has become entitled, or a combination thereof. 
 Section 5. [Intentionally Deleted] 
 Section 6. Option Grants to Eligible Individuals. 
 6.1. Selection of
Optionees. The Committee, from time to time, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, may grant Options to any Eligible Individual. In determining the persons to whom Options shall be granted and the number of Shares to be covered by
each Option, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by such persons, their present and potential contribution to the success and growth of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Committee, in
its discretion, shall deem relevant. Any Eligible Individual who has been granted an Option under a prior stock option plan of the Company may be granted an additional Option or Options under the Plan if the Committee shall so determine. 

6.2. Option Requirements. The Options granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be authorized by the Committee and shall be
evidenced by an Agreement, which Agreement shall include the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) Optionee. Each
Agreement shall state the name of the Optionee to whom the Option has been granted. 
 (ii) Number of Shares. Each
Agreement shall state the number of Shares to which that Option pertains. 
 (iii) Purchase Price. Each Agreement shall
state the Option Price, which shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Option on the date of grant of such Option. 
 (iv) Length of Option. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, each Option granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall
be granted for a period to be determined by the Committee but in no event to exceed more than ten (10) years. However, each Option shall be exercisable only during such portion of its term as the Committee shall determine and, subject to
Section 11, only if the Optionee is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at the time of such exercise. The Committee may, subsequent to the granting of any Option, extend the exercise period thereof, but in no event shall the exercise period
as so extended exceed the earlier of (1) the latest date upon which the Option could have expired by its original terms under any circumstances (including the circumstances described in Section 6.2(v)) or (2) the tenth anniversary of
the date of grant of the Option. 
 (v) Exercise of Option. Each Optionee shall have the right to exercise his or her
Option at the time or times and in the manner specified in the Plan or in the Agreement evidencing such Option. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any Option granted to an Eligible Individual or any portion thereof at any time.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, unless otherwise specified in the Agreement evidencing the Option, if an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) expires outside of a

  

 5 

 
Trading Window, then the expiration of the term of such Option shall be the later of (I) the date the Option would have expired by its original terms (including the terms set forth in
Section 11 of this Plan) or (II) the end of the tenth trading day of the immediately succeeding Trading Window during which the Company would allow the Optionee to trade in its securities; provided, however, that in no event shall the Option
expire beyond the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of the Option. 
 6.3. Types of Stock Options. The Options
granted under the Plan may be Nonqualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Eligible Individuals who are employees of the Company or its “parent corporation” or a “subsidiary
corporation” (as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6, no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an individual owning shares possessing more than
ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of the Company, or its parent corporation or subsidiary corporations unless (i) the Option Price at the time such Option is granted is equal to at least one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option, and (ii) such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date such Option is granted. Further, the aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its subsidiary
corporations) shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars (U.S. $100,000.00). 
 6.4. Method of Exercise of Options.
Each Option shall be exercised pursuant to the terms of such Option as set forth in the applicable Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Plan by giving notice to the Company at its principal place of business or other address designated by the
Company or in such other manner as is acceptable to the Committee. Payment of the Option Price for the number of Shares specified in the notice of exercise in the form of cash, personal or certified cheque, bank draft or other property acceptable to
the Committee shall accompany the notice of exercise. From time to time, the Committee may establish procedures relating to the exercise of Options, including: procedures for cashless exercises, including through a registered broker-dealer; the
minimum number of Shares or dollar values to be delivered with respect to a particular exercise transaction; telephonic, web-based or mail exercise and delivery notification and procedures; payment procedures; and other matters. No fractional Shares
(or cash in lieu thereof) shall be issued as a result of exercising an Option. The Company shall make delivery of such Shares as soon as possible; provided, however, that if any law or regulation or securities exchange rule requires the
Company to take action with respect to the Shares specified in such notice before issuance thereof, the date of delivery of such Shares shall then be extended for the period necessary to take such action. 
 6.5. Non-Transferability of Options. Except to the extent that an Optionee’s legal representative or estate is permitted to
exercise an Option pursuant to the terms of the Plan or an Agreement or in accordance with a determination of the Committee, an Option is exercisable only during an Optionee’s lifetime and only by the Optionee. Unless otherwise provided for in
an Agreement or at the determination of the Committee, Options shall not be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
  

 6 

 6.6. [Intentionally Deleted] 
 6.7. Buy Out of Option Gains. At any time after any Option becomes exercisable, the Committee shall have the right to elect, in its
sole discretion and without the consent of the holder thereof, to cancel such Option and pay to the Optionee the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Option over the Option Price of such Option at the date the Committee
provides written notice (the “Buy Out Notice”) of the intention to exercise such right. Buy outs pursuant to this provision shall be effected by the Company as promptly as possible after the date of the Buy Out Notice. Payments of
buy out amounts may be made in cash, in Shares, or partly in cash and partly in Shares, as the Committee deems advisable. To the extent payment is made in Shares, the number of Shares shall be determined by dividing the amount of the payment to be
made by the Fair Market Value of a Share at the date of the Buy Out Notice. In no event shall the Company be required to deliver a fractional Share in satisfaction of this buy out provision. For greater certainty, the Company may only deliver a Buy
Out Notice in respect of Options that have not already been exercised by the Optionee. 
 Section 7. Stock Appreciation
Rights. 
 7.1. Grant. The Committee, from time to time, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, may,
either alone or in connection with the grant of an Option, grant to any Eligible Individual Stock Appreciation Rights in accordance with the Plan, the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in an Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right may
be granted (a) at any time if unrelated to an Option, or (b) if related to an Option, at the time of grant of the Option. 
 7.2. Stock Appreciation Right Related to an Option. If granted in connection with an Option, a Stock Appreciation Right shall cover the same Shares covered by the Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may
determine) and shall, except as provided in this Section 7, be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Option. The Stock Appreciation Right Related to an Option provides a right to surrender to the Company for cancellation, in
whole or in part, the unexercised Option to purchase Shares and receive from the Company the amount payable described in subsection (ii) below. 
 (i) Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Options are exercisable, and will
not be transferable except to the extent the related Option may be transferable. From time to time, the Committee may establish procedures relating to the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights granted in connection with Options, including: the
minimum number of Shares or dollar values to be delivered with respect to a particular exercise transaction; telephonic, web-based or mail exercise and delivery notification and procedures; payment procedures; and other matters. A Stock Appreciation
Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only if the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price specified in the related Incentive Stock Option Agreement. 
  

 7 

 (ii) Amount Payable. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right related to an
Option, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined by multiplying (A) the excess of the price per Share at the date and time of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right (in accordance with established exercise procedures
and, to the extent that the Grantee is subject to tax under the Code in respect of such Stock Appreciation Right, as determined in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder) over the Option Price under the related Option, by (B) the number of Shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may limit in any manner the amount payable with
respect to any Stock Appreciation Right by including such a limit in the Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right at the time it is granted. 
 (iii) Treatment of Related Options and Stock Appreciation Rights Upon Exercise. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option, the Option shall be canceled
(i.e., surrendered to the Company) to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, and upon the exercise of an Option granted in connection with a Stock Appreciation Right, the Stock Appreciation
Right shall be canceled (i.e., surrendered to the Company) to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised or surrendered. 
 7.3. Stock Appreciation Right Unrelated to an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right unrelated to an Option shall cover such number of Shares as the Committee shall determine. 
 (i) Terms; Duration. Stock Appreciation Rights unrelated to Options shall contain such terms and conditions as to exercisability,
vesting and duration as the Committee shall determine, but in no event shall they have a term of greater than ten (10) years. However, each Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only during such portion of its term as the Committee
shall determine and, subject to Section 11, only if the Grantee is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary at the time of such exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, unless otherwise specified in the
Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Rights unrelated to Options, if a Stock Appreciation Right unrelated to an Option expires outside of a Trading Window, then the expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right shall be the later of
(A) the date the Stock Appreciation Right would have expired by its original terms (including the terms set forth in Section 11 of this Plan) or (II) the end of the tenth trading day of the immediately succeeding Trading Window during
which the Company would allow the Grantee to trade in its securities; provided, however, that in no event shall the Stock Appreciation Right expire later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. 
 (ii) Amount Payable. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right unrelated to an Option, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive an
amount determined by multiplying (a) the excess of the price per Share at the date and time of exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right (in accordance with established exercise procedures and, to the extent that the Grantee is subject to tax
under the Code in respect of such Stock Appreciation Right, as determined in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) over the Fair Market Value on the date the

  

 8 

 
Stock Appreciation Right was granted, by (b) the number of Shares as to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may limit in any
manner the amount payable with respect to any Stock Appreciation Right by including such a limit in the Agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right at the time it is granted. 
 (iii) Non-Transferability. No Stock Appreciation Right unrelated to an Option shall be transferable by the Grantee otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable during the lifetime of such Grantee only by the Grantee or his or her guardian or legal representative. 
 7.4. Method of Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised by a Grantee only by giving written notice to the Company at
its principal place of business or other address designated by the Company, specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. If requested by the Committee, the Grantee shall deliver the Agreement
evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right being exercised and the Agreement evidencing any related Option to the Company, which shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and return such Agreement to the Grantee. 
 7.5. Form of Payment. Payment of the amount determined under Sections 7.2(ii) or 7.3(ii) may be made in the discretion of the
Committee solely in whole Shares in a number determined at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, or solely in cash (including by cheque, money order, payroll deposit, or other acceptable form of payment),
or in a combination of cash and Shares. If the Committee decides to make full payment in Shares and the amount payable results in a fractional Share, payment for the fractional Share will be made in cash. 
 Section 8. Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Committee, from time to time, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, may
grant Dividend Equivalent Rights to any Eligible Individual in tandem with an Option or Award or as a separate Award. The terms and conditions applicable to each Dividend Equivalent Right shall be specified in the Agreement under which the Dividend
Equivalent Right is granted. Amounts payable in respect of Dividend Equivalent Rights may be payable currently or, if applicable, deferred until the lapsing of restrictions on such Dividend Equivalent Rights or until the vesting, exercise, payment,
settlement or other lapse of restrictions on the Option or Award to which the Dividend Equivalent Rights relate. In the event that the amounts payable in respect of Dividend Equivalent Rights are to be deferred, the Committee shall determine whether
such amounts are to be held in cash or reinvested in Shares or deemed (notionally) to be reinvested in Shares. If amounts payable in respect of Dividend Equivalent Rights are to be held in cash, there may be credited at the end of each year (or
portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Shares or a combination thereof, in a
single installment or multiple installments as determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts payable in respect of a Dividend Equivalent Right granted in connection with an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right may not be
contingent upon, or otherwise payable on, the exercise of the Option or the Stock Appreciation Right, and shall be granted in a manner and on such terms as will not result in the

  

 9 

 
related Option or Stock Appreciation Right being treated as providing for deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 Section 9. Performance Awards. 
 9.1. Performance Units. The Committee, from time to time, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, may grant to any Eligible Individual an Award of Performance Units, the terms and
conditions of which shall be set forth in an Agreement. Performance Units may be denominated in Shares or a specified dollar amount and, contingent upon the attainment of specified Performance Objectives with respect to the Performance Cycle, each
Unit represents the right to receive payment as provided in Sections 9.1(i) and (ii) of (a) in the case of Share-denominated Performance Units, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Performance Unit was granted, the date the
Performance Unit became vested or any other date specified by the Committee, (b) in the case of dollar-denominated Performance Units, the specified dollar amount or (c) a percentage (which may be more than 100%) of the amount described in
clause (a) or (b) depending on the level of Performance Objective attainment; provided, however, that the Committee may at the time a Performance Unit is granted specify a maximum amount payable in respect of a vested Performance
Unit. Each Agreement shall specify the number of Performance Units to which it relates, the Performance Objectives which must be satisfied in order for the Performance Units to vest and the Performance Cycle with respect to which such Performance
Objectives must be satisfied. 
 (i) Vesting and Forfeiture. Subject to Sections 9.3(iii) and 11.6, a Grantee shall
become vested with respect to the Performance Units to the extent that the Performance Objectives set forth in the Agreement are satisfied for the Performance Cycle. 
 (ii) Payment of Awards. Subject to Sections 9.3(iii) and 11.6, payment to Grantees in respect of vested Performance Units shall be made at such time as may be specified in the Agreement to which
the Performance Unit relates, or, if not contained therein, as soon as practicable after the last day of the Performance Cycle to which such Award relates. Subject to Section 11.6, such payments may be made entirely in Shares valued at their
Fair Market Value, entirely in cash, or in such combination of Shares and cash as the Committee in its discretion shall determine at any time prior to such payment; provided, however, that if the Committee in its discretion determines to make
such payment entirely or partially in Shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee must determine the extent to which such payment will be in Shares of Restricted Stock and the terms of such Restricted Stock at the time the Award is granted.

 9.2. Performance Shares. The Committee, from time to time, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, may grant
to any Eligible Individual an Award of Performance Shares, the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth in an Agreement. Each Agreement may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates. Awards of Performance Shares
shall be subject to the following terms and provisions: 
 (i) Rights of Grantee. Performance Shares shall be issued in
the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted, or on such other date as the Committee may determine, provided that the Grantee has executed all documents

  

 10 

 
which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such Performance Shares, which may include an Agreement evidencing the Award, the appropriate blank share transfer powers and an
escrow agreement. If a Grantee shall fail to execute any documents which the Committee may require within the time period prescribed by the Committee at the time the Award of Performance Shares is granted, the Award shall be null and void. At the
discretion of the Committee, Shares issued in connection with an Award of Performance Shares shall be deposited together with the share transfer powers with an escrow agent (which may be the Company) designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee
determines otherwise as set forth in the Agreement, upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow agent (which may be in the form of book entry Shares), the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the
right to vote the Shares and, subject to Section 9.2(iv), to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares. 
 (ii) Non-Transferability. Until any restrictions upon the Performance Shares awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in the manner set forth in Section 9.2(iii) or 11.6, such Performance Shares
shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated. 
 (iii) Lapse
of Restrictions. Subject to Sections 9.3(iii) and 11.6, restrictions upon Performance Shares awarded hereunder shall lapse and such Performance Shares shall become vested at such time or times and on such terms, conditions and satisfaction of
Performance Objectives as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time an Award is granted. Performance Shares with respect to which Performance Objectives have been attained may also be subject to additional vesting conditions based
on continued service or such other conditions as may be established by the Committee at the time the Award is granted. 
 (iv)
Treatment of Dividends. At the time the Award of Performance Shares is granted, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Grantee of dividends, or a specified portion thereof, declared or paid on Shares
represented by such Award which have been issued by the Company to the Grantee shall be (A) deferred until the lapsing of the restrictions imposed upon such Performance Shares and (B) held by the Company for the account of the Grantee
until such time. In the event that dividends are to be deferred, the Committee shall determine whether such dividends are to be reinvested in Shares (which shall be held as additional Performance Shares) or held in cash. If deferred dividends are to
be held in cash, there may be credited interest on the amount of the account at such times and at a rate per annum as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Payment of deferred dividends in respect of Performance Shares (whether held in
cash or in additional Performance Shares), together with interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on the Performance Shares in respect of which the deferred dividends were paid, and any dividends
deferred (together with any interest accrued thereon) in respect of any Performance Shares shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such Performance Shares. 
 (v) Delivery of Shares. Upon the lapse of the restrictions on Performance Shares awarded hereunder, the Committee shall cause a share certificate or

  

 11 

 
evidence of book entry Shares to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such Performance Shares, free of all restrictions hereunder. 
 9.3. Performance Objectives 
 (i) Establishment. Performance Objectives for Performance Awards may be expressed in terms of earnings per share, earnings (which may be expressed as earnings before specified items), return on
assets, return on invested capital, revenue, operating income, cash flow, total shareholder return or any combination thereof. Performance Objectives may be in respect of the performance of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of its Operating
Units or any combination thereof. Performance Objectives may be absolute or relative (to prior performance of the Company or to the performance of one or more other entities or external indices) and may be expressed in terms of a progression within
a specified range. The Performance Objectives with respect to a Performance Cycle shall be established in writing by the Committee by the earlier of (x) the date on which twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Cycle has elapsed or
(y) the date which is ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Performance Cycle, and in any event while the performance relating to the Performance Objectives remain substantially uncertain. 
 (ii) Effect of Certain Events. At the time of the granting of a Performance Award, or at any time thereafter, in either case to the
extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder without adversely affecting any Performance Award that is intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may provide for the manner in which
performance will be measured against the Performance Objectives (or may adjust the Performance Objectives) to reflect the impact of specified corporate transactions (such as a stock split or stock dividend), special charges, accounting or tax law
changes, and/or other extraordinary, nonrecurring or special events or circumstances. 
 (iii) Determination of
Performance. Prior to the vesting, payment, settlement or lapsing of any restrictions with respect to any Performance Award that is intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation made to a Grantee who is subject to Section 162(m) of
the Code, the Committee shall certify in writing that the applicable Performance Objectives have been satisfied to the extent necessary for such Award to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee shall not be entitled to exercise any
discretion otherwise authorized hereunder with respect to such Options or Awards if the ability to exercise such discretion or the exercise of such discretion itself would cause the compensation attributable to such Options or Awards that are
intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation to fail to so qualify. 
 9.4. [Intentionally Deleted] 

9.5. Non-Transferability. Until the vesting of Performance Units or the lapsing of any restrictions on Performance Shares, as the
case may be, such Performance Units or Performance Shares shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated. 
  

 12 

 Section 10. Share Awards. The Committee, from time to time, subject to the terms and
provisions of the Plan, may grant to any Eligible Individual a Share Award on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, which terms may be set forth in an Agreement in respect of such grant. Share Awards may be
made as additional compensation for services rendered by the Eligible Individual or may be in lieu of cash or other compensation to which the Eligible Individual is entitled from the Company. 
 Section 11. Effect of a Termination of Employment on Options and Awards. 
 11.1. Earlier Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of an Optionee’s or Grantee’s employment with the Company
and its Subsidiaries, for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11, in an Agreement or, with the consent of such individual, as determined by the Committee at any time prior to or after such termination, Options
and Awards granted to such individual will be treated as follows: 
 (i) Any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will
(A) to the extent not vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date, terminate on the Termination Date and (B) to the extent vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date, remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days
following the Termination Date or, in the event of such Optionee’s or Grantee’s death during such ninety (90) day period, remain exercisable by the estate of the deceased individual until the end of the period of one year following
the Termination Date (but in no event beyond the maximum term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right). 
 (ii) Any unvested
portion of any Restricted Stock or Stock Units that are not intended to be Performance Awards will be immediately forfeited on the Termination Date. 
 (iii) Any Performance Awards will terminate on the Termination Date. 
 (iv) Any
other Awards to the extent not vested will terminate on the Termination Date. 
 For purposes of further clarity, even if an Optionee’s or
Grantee’s employment is terminated without Cause or is otherwise found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been wrongfully terminated prior to the vesting of any Option or Award, the Optionee or Grantee (i) will not receive a
pro-rated amount for any Option or Award that may vest during any period of notice, (ii) will forfeit any such Option or Award, (iii) will not be eligible for any Option or Award vesting during such notice period, and the notice or pay in
lieu of notice that the Optionee or Grantee may receive will not have any component for damages representing any Option or Award that may vest during any period of notice. 
 11.2. Upon Death or Disability. Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement, in the event of a termination of an Optionee’s or
Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of such individual’s death or such individual becoming Disabled, Options and Awards granted to such individual will be treated as follows: 
  

 13 

 (i) Any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable as of the
Termination Date, and the Optionee or Grantee, or in the event the Optionee or Grantee is incapacitated and unable to exercise the rights granted hereunder, the individual’s legal guardian or legal representative, or in the event the Optionee
or Grantee dies, the estate of the deceased individual, shall have the right to exercise any rights the Optionee or Grantee would otherwise have had under the Plan for a period of four years after the Termination Date (but in no event beyond the
maximum term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Optionee does not exercise the vested portion of an Incentive Stock Option within the period required under Section 422 of the Code,
such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option upon exercise. 
 (ii) Any unvested portion of any Restricted Stock
or Stock Units that are not intended to be Performance Awards will become immediately vested on the Termination Date. 
 (iii)
Any Performance Awards will remain outstanding and the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate will be entitled to a pro-rata portion of the payment otherwise payable in respect of the Award (based on the number of full weeks the Grantee was employed
by the Company or a Subsidiary during the applicable Performance Cycle over the total number of weeks in such Performance Cycle), which will be paid on the date the Award would have been paid if the Grantee had remained employed with the Company or
a Subsidiary. 
 11.3. Upon Retirement. Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement, in the event of a termination of
an Optionee’s or Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries by reason of such individual’s Retirement, Options and Awards granted to such individual will be treated as follows: 
 (i) With respect to any Option or Stock Appreciation Right, for a period of four years following the date of such Retirement (but in no
event beyond the maximum term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right), the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, shall remain outstanding and (A) to the extent not then fully vested, shall continue to vest in accordance with its
applicable vesting schedule, and (B) the Optionee or the Grantee, as applicable, shall have the right to exercise any rights the individual would otherwise have had under the Plan prior to the expiration of the four-year period (or, if earlier,
the maximum term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Optionee does not exercise the vested portion of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of the three-month period after the
date of the Optionee’s Retirement, such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option upon exercise. 
 (ii) Any
unvested portion of any Restricted Stock that is not intended to be a Performance Award will become immediately vested. 
 (iii) Any unvested Stock Units that are not intended to be Performance Awards will remain outstanding and will continue to vest in accordance with their applicable vesting schedules. 
  

 14 

 (iv) Any Performance Awards will remain outstanding and the Grantee will be entitled to a
pro-rata portion of the payment otherwise payable in respect of the Award (based on the number of full weeks the Grantee was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary during the applicable Performance Cycle over the total number of weeks in such
Performance Cycle), which will be paid on the date the Award would have been paid if the Grantee had remained employed with the Company or a Subsidiary. 
 11.4. Upon Termination of Employment in Connection with Certain Dispositions. Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement, in the event an Optionee’s or Grantee’s employment with the
Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated without Cause in connection with a sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary, the Options and Awards granted to such individual will be treated as follows: 
 (i) With respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, such Award will remain outstanding and (A) to the extent not then fully
vested, will become immediately vested on the Termination Date, and (B) the Optionee or Grantee will have the right to exercise such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights for a period of one year following the Termination Date (but in no event
beyond the maximum term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Optionee does not exercise the vested portion of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the expiration of the three-month period
after the Optionee’s Termination Date, such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option upon exercise. 
 (ii)
Any unvested portion of any Restricted Stock or Stock Units that are not Performance Awards will become immediately vested on the Termination Date. 
 (iii) Any Performance Awards will remain outstanding and the Grantee will be entitled to a pro-rata portion of the payment otherwise payable in respect of the Award (based on number of full weeks the
Grantee was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary during the applicable Performance Cycle over the total number of weeks in such Performance Cycle), which will be paid on the date the Award would have been paid if the Grantee had remained employed
with the Company or a Subsidiary. 
 11.5. Definition of Termination. To the extent an Award is subject to
Section 409A of the Code, “termination” means “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or an Agreement to the contrary, an Award that is subject to
Section 409A of the Code shall not be settled and distributed to a Grantee on the Termination Date unless the Grantee has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and such Awards shall
be settled and distributed in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. 
 11.6 Termination Following a Change in
Control. Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement or any other agreement between the Optionee or Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary that addresses the treatment of Options or Awards in the event of a Change in Control, in the event
that, within twenty-four (24) months following the occurrence of a Change in Control: (a) an Optionee’s or Grantee’s employment with the Company and its

  

 15 

 
Subsidiaries is terminated without Cause; or (b) an Optionee or Grantee terminates the Optionee’s or Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for Good Reason:

 (i) Any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding on the Termination Date, whether or not exercisable, shall become
immediately and fully exercisable as of the Termination Date; 
 (ii) The restrictions upon Shares of Restricted Stock shall
lapse as of the Termination Date; 
 (iii) All Stock Units shall become fully vested as of the Termination Date; 
 (iv) With respect to any Performance Units and Stock Units intended to be Performance Awards the Grantee shall (A) become vested in
all outstanding Performance Units and Stock Units as if all Performance Objectives had been satisfied at the highest level by the Company and the Grantee and (B) be entitled to receive in respect of all Performance Units and Stock Units which
become vested pursuant to this Section 11.6 a cash payment within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date; and 
 (v) With respect to Performance Shares and Shares of Restricted Stock that are intended to be Performance Awards, all restrictions shall lapse immediately on all outstanding Performance Shares and Shares of Restricted Stock as if all
Performance Objectives had been satisfied at the highest level by the Company and the Grantee. 
 Section 12. Effect of
Change in Common Shares Subject to the Plan. 
 12.1. In the event of a Change in Capitalization, the Committee
shall conclusively determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to (i) the maximum number and class of Shares or other shares or securities with respect to which Options or Awards may be granted under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number
and class of Shares or other shares or securities with respect to which Options or Awards may be granted to any Eligible Individual in any calendar year, (iii) the number and class of Shares or other shares or securities which are subject to
outstanding Options or Awards granted under the Plan and the exercise price therefor, if applicable and (iv) the Performance Objectives. 
 12.2. Any such adjustment in the Shares or other shares or securities: (i) subject to outstanding Incentive Stock Options (including any adjustments in the exercise price) shall be made in such
manner as not to constitute a modification as defined by Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and only to the extent otherwise permitted by Sections 422 and 424 of the Code; (ii) subject to outstanding Options or Awards that are intended to
qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made in such a manner as not to adversely affect the treatment of the Options or Awards as Performance-Based Compensation; or (iii) subject to outstanding Nonqualified Stock Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be made consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v). 
  

 16 

 12.3. If, by reason of a Change in Capitalization, a Grantee of an Award shall be entitled
to, or an Optionee shall be entitled to exercise an Option with respect to, new, additional or different shares or securities of the Company or any other corporation, such new, additional or different shares shall thereupon be subject to all of the
conditions, restrictions and performance criteria which were applicable to the Shares subject to the Award or Option, as the case may be, prior to such Change in Capitalization. 
 Section 13. Effect of Certain Transactions. Subject to Section 11.6, or as otherwise provided in an Agreement, following
(a) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, (b) a merger or consolidation of the Company or (c) an acquisition all of the issued and outstanding Shares by any person, unless such acquisition is a “Non-Control
Transaction” as defined in Section 30.6 (a “Transaction”), either (i) each outstanding Option or Award shall be treated as provided for in the agreement entered into in connection with the Transaction or (ii) if
not so provided in such agreement, each Optionee and Grantee shall be entitled to receive in respect of each Share subject to any outstanding Options or Awards, as the case may be, upon exercise of any Option or payment or transfer in respect of any
Award, the same number and kind of shares, stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration that each holder of a Share was entitled to receive in the Transaction in respect of a Share; provided, however, that such shares, stock, securities,
cash, property, or other consideration shall remain subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance criteria which were applicable to the Options and Awards prior to such Transaction. The treatment of any Option or Award as provided
in this Section 13 shall be conclusively presumed to be appropriate for purposes of Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13, an adjustment to an Option or Award as provided in this Section 13 shall
be made only to the extent such adjustment complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 Section 14.
Listing and Registration of Common Shares. If at any time the Board shall determine that listing, registration or qualification of the Shares covered by an Option or Award upon any securities exchange or under any state, provincial or federal
law or the consent or the approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the purchase of Shares under the Option, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part, and Shares shall
not be delivered in connection with any other Award, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. Any person exercising an
Option or receiving Shares in connection with any other Award shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Board or the Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal
requirements. 
 Section 15. Misconduct. In the event that an Optionee or Grantee has (i) used for profit or
disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) engaged
in unlawful trading in the securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of another company based on information gained as a result of that Optionee’s or Grantee’s employment with, or status as a director to, the Company or its
Subsidiaries, then that Optionee or Grantee shall forfeit all rights under any outstanding Option or Award granted under the Plan and all of that Optionee’s or Grantee’s

  

 17 

 
outstanding Options or Awards shall automatically terminate, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise. 
 Section 16. Payment Following Death or Incapacity. In the event any amounts or Shares become payable or issuable pursuant to an Award or Option after the Grantee or Optionee dies or becomes
incapacitated, such amounts or Shares shall be paid or issued, in the case of death, to the decedent’s estate or, in the case of incapacity, to the Grantee’s or Optionee’s legal guardian or legal representative. 
 Section 17. Employees in Multiple Jurisdictions. Eligible Individuals are or may be subject to taxation under the Code, the laws of
Canada and/or the laws of other jurisdictions. Without amending the Plan, the Committee may grant, settle or administer Options or Awards on terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may in the judgment of the Committee be
necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan given the limitations of applicable law, and the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, and the like as may be necessary or advisable to
comply with provisions of laws of the various countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate or have employees. 
 Section 18. Deferral of Payments or Vesting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and except with respect to an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may provide for the deferral of the issuance or
vesting of Shares or the payment of cash in respect of an Award granted under the Plan; provided that such deferral shall be provided at the time of grant of the Award. The terms and conditions of any such deferral shall be set forth in the
Agreement evidencing such Award. 
 Section 19. No Rights to Options, Awards or Employment. No individual shall have any
claim or right to be granted an Option or Award under the Plan. Having received an Option or Award under the Plan shall not give an individual any right to receive any other grant under the Plan. No Optionee or Grantee shall have any rights to or
interest in any Option or Award except as set forth herein. Neither the Plan nor any action taken herein shall be construed as giving any individual any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or as a member of the
Board. 
 Section 20. Multiple Agreements. The terms of each Option or Award may differ from other Options or Awards
granted under the Plan at the same time, or at some other time. The Committee may also grant more than one Option or Award to a given Eligible Individual during the term of the Plan, either in addition to, or in substitution for, one or more Options
or Awards previously granted to that Eligible Individual. 
 Section 21. Withholding of Taxes. 
 21.1. The Company, a Subsidiary, or a trust established by the Company or a Subsidiary to deliver Shares under an Award, as applicable,
shall require payment of or other provision for, as determined by the Company, an amount equal to the federal, state, provincial and local income taxes and other amounts required by law to be withheld or determined to be necessary or appropriate to
be withheld by the Company, Subsidiary or trust, as applicable, in

  

 18 

 
connection with the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of an Award or at such times as an Optionee or a Grantee recognizes taxable income in connection with the receipt of Shares or cash in
connection with an Award hereunder (the “Withholding Taxes”). In its sole discretion, the Company, Subsidiary or trust, as applicable, may require or permit payment of or provision for the Withholding Taxes through one or more of
the following methods, subject to the terms of the Award Agreements: (a) in cash, bank draft, certified cheque, personal cheque or other manner acceptable to the Committee and/or set forth in the relevant exercise procedures; (b) by
withholding such amount from other amounts due to the Optionee or the Grantee; (c) by withholding a portion of the Shares then issuable or deliverable to the Optionee or the Grantee having an aggregate fair market value equal to the Withholding
Taxes and, at the Company’s election, either (I) canceling the equivalent portion of the underlying Award and the Company, Subsidiary, or trust paying the Withholding Taxes on behalf of the Optionee or Grantee in cash, or (II) selling such
Shares on the Optionee or Grantee’s behalf; or (d) by withholding such amount from the cash then issuable in connection with the Award. 
 21.2. If an Optionee makes a disposition, within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, of any Share or Shares issued to such Optionee pursuant to the
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within the two-year period commencing on the day after the date of the grant or within the one-year period commencing on the day after the date of transfer of such Share or Shares to the Optionee pursuant to
such exercise, the Optionee shall, within ten (10) days of such disposition, notify the Company thereof, by delivery of written notice to the Company at its principal executive office. 
 Section 22. Amendment or Termination; Duration. Except as provided below and except as may otherwise be provided by applicable tax
and regulatory requirements, including stock exchange requirements, the Board may from time to time make any amendments or changes to the Plan or outstanding Awards that the Board sees fit in its sole discretion without shareholder approval. The
following amendments to the Plan or outstanding Awards will require the approval of both the Board and the Company’s shareholders: 
 (i) an increase in the maximum number of Shares that may be made the subject of Awards or Options under the Plan; 
 (ii) any adjustment (other than in connection with a stock dividend, recapitalization or other transaction where an adjustment is permitted or required under the terms of the Plan) or amendment that
reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right previously granted under the Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation or replacement grants, or other means; 
 (iii) an increase in the limits on Awards that may be granted to any Eligible Individual under Sections 3.1 and 32 of the Plan; and

 (iv) an extension of the term of an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right beyond the expiry date thereof, except as
set forth in Sections 6.2(v) and 7.3(i) of the Plan as they relate to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that expire outside of a Trading Window. 
  

 19 

 Furthermore, no change to an outstanding Award that will impair the rights of the
Optionee or Grantee may be made without the consent of the Optionee or Grantee. This Plan shall terminate and no Option or Award may be granted or made after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan was originally made effective by THI (i.e., March 29, 2016).

 Section 23. Other Actions. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Committee, the Board or the Company or its
Subsidiaries for proper corporate purposes to grant or assume stock options, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any employee, director or other person. The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as amending, modifying
or rescinding any previously approved incentive arrangement or as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options
otherwise than under the Plan and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases. 
 Section
24. Costs and Expenses. Except as provided in Section 21 hereof with respect to taxes, the costs and expenses of administering the Plan, including costs associated with exercise, vesting and/or settlement of Options or Awards, may be borne
by the Company, one or more of its Subsidiaries or Eligible Individuals receiving a grant under the Plan, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 Section 25. Plan Unfunded. Except with respect to Shares which have been acquired by or on behalf of a trust established by either of the Company or a Subsidiary and held for future delivery as
described in Section 3.1, the Plan shall be unfunded. Except for reserving a sufficient number of authorized Shares to the extent required by law to meet the requirements of the Plan, the Company shall not be required to establish any special
or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure payment of any grant under the Plan. 
 Section 26.
Laws Governing Plan. The Plan and all Agreements between the Company and any Grantees or Optionees entered into on or after September 28, 2009, shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal
laws of Canada applicable therein. 
 Section 27. Captions. The captions to the several sections hereof are not a part of
the Plan, but are merely guides or labels to assist in locating and reading the several sections hereof. 
 Section 28.
Effective Date. The effective date of the Plan, as determined by the Board, shall be the date of THI’s initial public offering of its common stock. 
 Section 29. Recoupment Policy Relating to Performance-Based Compensation; Other Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Options and Awards or any proceeds
therefrom, are subject to the Company’s (or an affiliate of the Company’s) right to reclaim, or require forfeiture of, such payments or other amounts: 
 (i) in the event of a financial restatement in accordance with the Company’s Recoupment Policy Relating to Performance-Based Compensation adopted by the Board, as amended from time to time; or

  

 20 

 (ii) in accordance with the terms of any separate agreement, understanding, or arrangement
between an Optionee or Grantee and the Company or any affiliate of the Company, including but not limited to any employment agreement, offer letter for initial employment, promotional letter setting forth the terms of an Optionee or Grantee’s
promotion, change in control agreement, and/or post-employment covenant agreement.

Control” shall mean the occurrence of: 
 (i) An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any common
shares or other voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally for the election of directors (the “Voting Securities”) by any Person (as the term “person” is used for purposes of Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the
Exchange Act) immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of thirty percent (30%) or more of the Company’s then outstanding common shares or
the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, common shares or Voting Securities which are acquired in a
“Non-Control Acquisition” (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (A) an employee benefit plan (or a

vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the
Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any
agreement intended to avoid or settle any Proxy Contest; or 
 (iii) The consummation of: 
 (A) A merger, consolidation, amalgamation or reorganization with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued (a
“Merger”), unless such Merger is a “Non-Control Transaction.” A “Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a Merger where: 
 (1) the shareholders of the Company immediately before such Merger own directly or indirectly immediately following such Merger at least seventy percent (70%) of the combined voting power of the
outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such Merger

  

 22 

 
(the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such Merger; 
 (2) the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Merger

 (3) no Person other than (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary, (iii) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part
thereof) that immediately prior to such Merger was maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any Person who, immediately prior to such Merger had Beneficial Ownership of thirty percent (30%) or more of the Company’s then

 (B) A complete liquidation or
dissolution of the Company; or 
 (C) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to

(but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of common shares or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional common shares
or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur. 
 If an Eligible Individual’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause prior to the date of a Change in Control but the Eligible Individual reasonably demonstrates that the termination
(A) was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (B) otherwise arose in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control which has been
threatened or proposed, such termination shall be deemed to have occurred after a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan provided a Change in Control shall actually have occurred.

 28Executive Annual Performance Plan, as amended

 Exhibit 10(i) 
 TIM HORTONS INC. 
 EXECUTIVE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN

 (As amended and restated effective September 28, 2009) 
 Most Recently Amended: February 24, 2010 
 1.
Purpose. The purpose of the Executive Annual Performance Plan (the “Plan”) is to enhance the ability of Tim Hortons Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Company”) and its
subsidiaries to attract, motivate, reward, and retain key employees, to strengthen their commitment to the success of the Company and to align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders by providing additional compensation to
designated key employees of the Company based on the achievement of performance objectives. To this end, the Plan provides a means of rewarding participants based on the performance of the Company and/or its Operating Units. 
 2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee and the CEO as provided herein. The Committee shall have full
authority to establish the rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to interpret the Plan and those rules and regulations, to determine the Performance Objectives of the Company and/or Operating Units, to decide the facts in any case arising
under the Plan and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, including the delegation of such authority or power, where appropriate. The Committee’s
administration of the Plan, including all such rules and regulations, interpretations, selections, determinations, approvals, decisions, delegations, amendments, terminations and other actions, shall be final and binding on the Company, its
shareholders and the Participants and their beneficiaries. Subject to the authority and discretion of the Committee, the CEO shall have the full authority to determine the Participants in the Plan, the Award opportunities for such Participants, and
whether such Award opportunities shall be based on the Performance Objectives of the Company or based on a combination of Performance Objectives of the Company and one or more Operating Units. 
 3. Eligible Employees. Generally, all Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan for any fiscal year. However, participation
shall be limited to those Employees selected by the CEO, subject to the authority and discretion of the Committee, to participate in the Plan for each fiscal year in accordance with Section 4. 
 4. Determination of Awards. For each fiscal year, the Committee shall establish the Performance Objectives of the Company and/or
Operating Units. Subject to the authority and discretion of the Committee, the CEO shall determine (i) the Employees who shall be Participants during each fiscal year, (ii) whether Awards for each Participant shall be based solely upon the
achievement of Performance Objectives of the Company or on a combination of the achievement of Performance Objectives for the Company and for one or more Operating Units, (iii) the Award opportunities for each Participant, including the extent
to which Awards will be payable for actual performance between each level of the Performance Objectives, and (iv) any adjustments described in Section 10 hereof. The CEO shall provide to the Committee, for consideration in accordance with
its delegated authority from the Board, a schedule that indicates the Participants selected, their Award opportunities, and whether such Awards will be based on the Performance Objectives of the Company or a combination of the Company and one

 
or more Operating Units, and any proposed adjustments as described in Section 10 hereof. The Company shall notify each Participant of the applicable Performance Objectives for such
Participant and his or her corresponding Award opportunities for each fiscal year. 
 5. Payment of
Awards. As soon as practicable after the determination of the Company’s and, if applicable, the Operating Units’ financial performance for a fiscal year, but no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of such fiscal year, each Award to the extent earned shall be
paid in a single lump sum cash payment, less applicable withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect to defer all or a portion of any Award that will otherwise become payable in accordance with this Section, if permitted
pursuant to (and in accordance with) a deferred compensation plan adopted by, or an agreement entered into with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 
 6. Discretionary Bonuses. In addition to any Awards payable under Section 4, the CEO, after consultation
with the Committee and subject to the authority and discretion of the Committee, shall have the authority to make additional cash incentive awards to any Employees selected by the CEO in amounts determined by the CEO. Any such Award shall be paid to
the applicable employee no later than the 15th day of the
third month following the end of the fiscal year in which the award is determined. 
 7. Termination of Employment. No
Award or pro-rated portion of an Award for a fiscal year shall be payable to any Participant unless he or she is employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries on the payment date for Awards payable in respect of the fiscal year, unless the
Participant’s employment was terminated because of his or her (i) death, (ii) disability or (iii) retirement after attaining age 60 and the completion of 10 years of continuous service with the Company and/or its subsidiaries, in
which event the Participant will be entitled to a pro-rata portion (which shall be 100% if such termination occurs after the end of the fiscal year and prior to the payment date) of the Award otherwise payable in respect of that fiscal year, subject
to the Committee’s discretion as set forth in Section 2 hereof. Provided, however, that for any Participant who has reached the age of 55 and the completion of 10 years of continuous service with the Company and/or its subsidiaries
as of November 5, 2008, the applicable age in (iii) above shall be “55,” as opposed to age “60.” The foregoing proviso shall expire by its terms and be void and of no further force and effect on and as of
November 5, 2013. For purposes of further clarity, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, even if a Participant is terminated without Cause or is otherwise found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been wrongfully terminated
prior to the payment date for Awards in respect of a fiscal year, the Participant will receive no pro-rated Award, and the notice or pay in lieu of notice that the Participant receives in connection with termination will not have any component for
damages representing the amount of an Award over any period of notice and, further, the employee will not be eligible for an Award for such period. 
 8. Misconduct. In the event that a Participant has (i) used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential information or trade secrets of the Company or its subsidiaries, or
(ii) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to the Company or its subsidiaries, or (iii) engaged in unlawful trading in the securities of the Company or its subsidiaries or of another company based on information
gained as a result of that Participant’s employment with, or status as a director to, the Company or its Subsidiaries, no

  

 - 2 - 

 
Award or pro-rated portion of an Award for a fiscal year shall be payable to any such Participant, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise. 
 9. Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the
Company, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (i) The minimum Award payable to each Participant under Section 5 in
respect of the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs shall be the greatest of: 
 (A) the Award or
other annual bonus paid or payable to the Participant in respect of the fiscal year prior to the year in which the Change in Control occurs; 
 (B) the Award amount that would be payable to the Participant assuming that the Company achieved the target level of the Performance Objectives for such fiscal year; and 
 (C) the Award amount that would be payable to the Participant based on the Company’s actual performance and achievement
of applicable Performance Objectives for such fiscal year through the date of the Change in Control. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that following the date of a Change in Control and prior to the payment date for Awards payable in respect of the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs a Participant’s
employment is terminated by the Company and its subsidiaries without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, such Participant shall be entitled to receive the Award otherwise payable pursuant to the terms of the Plan in respect of that fiscal
year as if he or she had remained in the employ of the Company through the payment date for Awards payable in respect of such fiscal year. 
 (iii) If a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company and its subsidiaries without Cause prior to the date of a Change in Control but the Participant reasonably demonstrates that the
termination (A) was at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (B) otherwise arose in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control
which has been threatened or proposed, such termination shall be deemed to have occurred after a Change in Control for purposes of this Plan provided a Change in Control shall actually have occurred. 
 10. Adjustments. The Committee or the CEO, subject to the authority and discretion of the Committee, may, at the time Performance
Objectives are determined for a fiscal year, or at any time prior to the final determination of Awards in respect of such fiscal year, provide for the manner in which performance will be measured against the Performance Objectives or may adjust the
Performance Objectives (or the Company’s performance against said Performance Objectives) to reflect the impact of specified corporate transactions (such as a stock split or stock dividend), special charges, accounting or tax law changes,
and/or other extraordinary, nonrecurring, or special events or circumstances. 
 11. Designation of Beneficiary. In the
event of a Participant’s death prior to full payment of any Award hereunder, unless such Participant shall have designated a beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance with this Section 11, payment of any Award due under the Plan shall be
made to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant under the Company’s basic life insurance program, or if no beneficiary has been designated under the basic life

  

 - 3 - 

 
insurance program, the Participant’s designated beneficiary dies prior to receiving any payment of an Award or if such designation shall for any reason be illegal or ineffective, Awards
payable under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. A beneficiary designation under this Plan, or revocation of a prior beneficiary designation, will be effective only if it is made in writing on a form provided by the Company,
signed by the Participant and received by the Benefits Department of the Company. If a beneficiary has been designated under this Plan and such beneficiary dies prior to receiving any payment of an Award or if such designation shall for any reason
be illegal or ineffective, Awards payable under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. 
 12. Amendment or
Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time in its discretion; provided, however, that no amendment or termination of the Plan may affect any Award made under the Plan prior to that time; and provided
further, however, that the Plan may not be amended or terminated through and including the fiscal year in which a Change in Control occurs (i) at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably
calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control which has been threatened or proposed, in either case provided that a Change in Control shall actually have occurred.

 13. Recoupment Policy Relating to Performance-Based Compensation; Other Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any Award made under the Plan is subject to the Company’s (or an affiliate of the Company’s) right to reclaim, or require forfeiture of, such Award or payment or other amounts in connection with or settlement of
such Award: 
  

	 	(i)	in the event of a financial restatement in accordance with the Company’s Recoupment Policy Relating to Performance-Based Compensation adopted by the Board, as
amended from time to time; or 

  

	 	(ii)	in accordance with the terms of any separate agreement, understanding, or arrangement between a Participant and the Company or any affiliate of the Company, including
but not limited to any employment agreement, offer letter for initial employment, promotional letter setting forth the terms of a Participant’s promotion, change in control agreement, and/or post-employment covenant agreement.

 14. Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is intended to be exempt from the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Plan shall be interpreted, administered and operated accordingly. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as an entitlement to or guarantee of
any particular tax treatment to a Participant and none of the Company, its affiliates, the Board or the Committee shall have any liability with respect to any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
  

 - 4 - 

 15. Miscellaneous Provisions

right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 
 (b) A Participant’s rights and interests
under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred, except as provided in Section 10, and any attempted assignment or transfer shall be null and void and shall extinguish, in the Company’s sole discretion, the Company’s obligation
under the Plan to pay Awards with respect to the Participant. 
 (c) The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be
required to establish any special or separate fund, or to make any other segregation of assets, to assure payment of Awards. 
 (d) The Company shall have the right to deduct from Awards paid any taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld. 
 (e) Nothing contained in the Plan shall limit or affect in any manner or degree the normal and usual powers of management, exercised by the officers and the Board or committees thereof, to change the duties or the character of employment of
any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to remove the individual from the employment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time, all of which rights and powers are expressly reserved.
