On the Initial Closing Date, the Contributed Assets were contributed to the Securitization Entities (collectively, the “Contribution Transactions”) pursuant to the Contribution Agreements as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (as defined below).

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Parent Companies” shall mean The Wendy’s Company, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and the Manager and (ii) “▇▇▇▇▇’s Parties” shall mean, collectively, the Parent Companies and the Securitization Entities.

For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the “Certain Definitions” section of the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below).

1. Purchase and Resale of the Offered Notes. The Offered Notes will be offered and sold by the Master Issuer to the Initial Purchasers without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in reliance on an exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the 1933 Act.

(u) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with any court or governmental agency or regulatory body having jurisdiction over any of the Wendy’s Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets is required for the issue and sale of the Offered Notes and the Guarantees, the execution, delivery and performance by the Wendy’s Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries of the Offered Notes, the Guarantees, the Series 2019-1 Supplement, this Agreement and the other Related Documents (to the extent they are parties thereto), the application of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Notes as described under “Use of Proceeds” in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for (A) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings, registrations or qualifications as shall have been obtained or made prior to the Closing Date or are permitted to be obtained or made subsequent to the Closing Date pursuant to the Indenture, (B) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution and resale (including pursuant to the Exempt Resales) of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchasers and (C) such consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification, the failure of which to obtain could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) The historical consolidated financial statements of Parent (including the related notes and supporting schedules) included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the entities referred to therein, at the dates and for the periods indicated, and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved.

(w) The historical consolidated financial statements of the Master Issuer (including the related notes and supporting schedules) included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the entities referred to therein, at the dates and for the periods indicated, and have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved.

(x) The Transaction-Adjusted Securitized Net Cash Flow financial information included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum has been derived from the financial statements and the books and records of the Wendy’s Parties in the manner described under and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth under “Transaction-Adjusted Securitized Net Cash Flow/Net Cash Flow of the Securitization Entities” and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” The assumptions used in preparing the Transaction-Adjusted Securitized Net Cash Flow information included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transactions and events described therein and the related adjustments give reasonable effect to those assumptions. The Net Cash Flow financial information included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum has been derived from the quarterly noteholder statements of the Master Issuer in the manner described under and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth under “Transaction-Adjusted Securitized Net Cash Flow/Net Cash Flow of the Securitization Entities.”

(y) The (i) adjustments applied to derive the Transaction-Adjusted Securitized Net Cash Flow also reflect, in all material respects, the proper application of those adjustments to the historical financial statement amounts in the Transaction-Adjusted Securitized Net Cash Flow information included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and the Transaction-Adjusted Securitized Net Cash Flow information included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum has been prepared, in all material respects, on a basis consistent with the relevant historical financial statements and gives effect to assumptions made on a reasonable basis and in good faith and present fairly in all material respects the historical and proposed transaction contemplated by the Transaction-Adjusted Securitized Net Cash Flow information and (ii) the applicable Net Cash Flow disclosure included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum is derived from the quarterly noteholder statements generated by the Master Issuer and represents the arithmetic sum of each of the relevant amounts reflected in such quarterly noteholder statements and has been prepared on a basis consistent with the quarterly noteholder statements and gives effect to assumptions made on a reasonable basis and in good faith and present fairly in all material respects the Net Cash Flow. The non-GAAP financial measures that are presented in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum have been calculated based on amounts derived from the financial statements and books and records of the Wendy’s Parties, the Master Issuer or the quarterly noteholder statements of the Master Issuer, and the Securitization Entities believe that any adjustments to such non-GAAP financial measures have a reasonable basis and have been made in good faith.

(z) Deloitte and Touche LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of Parent and the Master Issuer, whose report appears in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum or is incorporated by reference therein and who have delivered the initial letters referred to in Sections 7(m) and 7(o) hereof, (x) are independent registered public accountants with respect to each of Parent and its subsidiaries and the Master Issuer and its subsidiaries within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and (y) was, as of the date of such report, and is, as of the date hereof, an independent public accounting firm with respect to the Wendy’s Parties.

(cc) The section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum accurately and fully describes (i) the accounting policies that Parent believes are the most important in the portrayal of Parent financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments; (ii) the judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of critical accounting policies; and (iii) the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions and an explanation thereof.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Each of the Wendy’s Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each, an “Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable and documented expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto (B) in any Blue Sky application or other document prepared or executed by any of the Wendy’s Parties (or based upon any written information furnished by any of the Wendy’s Parties) specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Offered Notes under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”) or (C) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, any of the Wendy’s Parties in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Offered Notes, including any road show or investor presentations made to investors by any of the Wendy’s Parties (whether in person or electronically) and the documents and information listed on Schedule III hereto (all of the foregoing materials described in this clause (C), the “Marketing Materials”), (ii) the omission or

alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials, any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Initial Purchaser in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Offered Notes or the offering contemplated hereby, and that is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action or expense arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above, or (iv) the violation of any securities laws (including without limitation the anti-fraud provision thereof) of any foreign jurisdiction in which the Offered Notes are offered; provided, however, that the Wendy’s Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that it is determined in a final and unappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises directly and primarily out of or is based directly and primarily upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to any of the Wendy’s Parties by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum, amendment or supplement thereto, Blue Sky Application or Marketing Materials (as the case may be). The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through either Representative consists solely of the Initial Purchaser Information.

Each of the Wendy’s Parties hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable and documented expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any website maintained in compliance with Rule 17g-5 under the 1934 Act by or on behalf of any ▇▇▇▇▇’s Party in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Offered Notes.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(c), each of the Wendy’s Parties agrees that it shall, jointly and severally, reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for any documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses for which indemnity is being provided pursuant to this Section 8(a) as such expenses are incurred.

The foregoing indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Wendy’s Parties may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Wendy’s Party, each of the officers, directors and employees of each Wendy’s Party, and each other person, if any, who controls such ▇▇▇▇▇’s Party within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each a “▇▇▇▇▇’s Indemnified Party”), against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable and documented expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) in any Blue Sky Application or (C) in any Marketing Materials, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to any of the Wendy’s Parties by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through either Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum, amendment or supplement thereto, Blue Sky Application or Marketing Materials (as the case may be, which information is limited to the Initial Purchaser Information, provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the discount applicable to the Offered Notes to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement).

The foregoing indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of any claims or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 to the extent that it is not materially prejudiced due to the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses as a result thereof or otherwise has notice of any such action, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that such indemnifying party may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement hereunder). In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that counsel to the

indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying parties, or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would present a conflict due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in any of which events (i) through (iv) such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties (and the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties); provided, however, that in no event will the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the indemnified parties (together with any local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an indemnified party under this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any such action or claim effected without its consent.

(d) In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) through (c) is for any reason held to be unavailable from any indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Wendy’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any reasonable and documented investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted), but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses suffered by the ▇▇▇▇▇’s Parties, any contribution received by the ▇▇▇▇▇’s Parties from persons, other than the Initial Purchasers, who may also be liable for contribution, including their directors, officers, employees and persons who control the Wendy’s Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as incurred to which the Wendy’s Parties and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Wendy’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers from the offering and sale of the Offered Notes under this Agreement or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportions as are appropriate to

reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the ▇▇▇▇▇’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Wendy’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering and sale of the Offered Notes under this Agreement (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Wendy’s Parties or their affiliates under this Agreement, on the one hand, and the discounts or commissions received by the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the aggregate offering price to investors of the Offered Notes purchased under this Agreement, as set forth on the cover of the Final Offering Memorandum. The relative fault of each of the Wendy’s Parties (on the one hand) and of the Initial Purchasers (on the other hand) shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Wendy’s Parties or their affiliates or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Wendy’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(d). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), (i) no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions applicable to the Offered Notes resold by it to Eligible Purchasers under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8(d), (A) each of the Initial Purchaser Indemnified Parties other than the Initial Purchasers shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and (B) each director, officer or employee of the Wendy’s Parties and each person, if any, who controls the Wendy’s Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Wendy’s Parties, subject in each case of (A) and (B) to clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 8(d) or otherwise. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective aggregate principal amount of Offered Notes purchased by each of the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement and not joint. The obligations of the Wendy’s Parties to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) shall be joint and several.

(e) The Initial Purchasers severally confirm and the Wendy’s Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the statements with respect to the offering of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchasers set forth in the fourth to last paragraph (relating to overallotment, stabilization and similar activities) of the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and (ii) the names of the Initial Purchasers set forth on the front and back cover page of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum constitute the only information concerning such Initial Purchasers furnished in writing to the Wendy’s Parties by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application (the “Initial Purchaser Information”).

9. Consent. Each Representative hereby agrees, in its capacity as holder of the Notes and Representative of the Initial Purchasers, to (i) the Fourth Supplement, to be dated as of the Closing Date, to the Base Indenture, to be entered into by and among the Master Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as the Trustee and the securities intermediary thereunder and (ii) the Second Amendment, to be dated as of the Closing Date, to the Management Agreement, dated as of the Initial Closing Date, by and among the Master Issuer, ▇▇▇▇▇’s International LLC, the Guarantors and Citibank, N.A. as the Trustee (the supplement and amendments identified in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence being referred to herein collectively as the “Amendments” and each, as an “Amendment”), and in their respective capacities as Noteholders hereby (x) direct the Control Party, where such direction from the Noteholders is required, to consent to the Amendments and (y) waive notice of any Consent Request or Consent Recommendation that would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 11.4(c) of the Base Indenture in connection with the Amendments.

10. Defaulting Initial Purchasers.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in its obligations to purchase the Offered Notes that it has agreed to purchase under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Offered Notes by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other persons satisfactory to the Master Issuer on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Offered Notes, then the Master Issuer shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Offered Notes on such terms. In the event that within the respective prescribed periods, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers notify the Master Issuer that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Offered Notes, or the Master Issuer notifies the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Offered Notes, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Master Issuer may postpone the Closing Date for up to seven full Business Days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Master Issuer or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Pricing Disclosure Package,

the Final Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Master Issuer agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Offered Notes that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered Notes of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and any persons procured by the Master Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Notes that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Offered Notes, then the Master Issuer shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Offered Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Offered Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Offered Notes of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; provided that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Notes that they agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of Section 3.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered Notes of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and any persons procured by the Master Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Notes that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Offered Notes, or if the Master Issuer shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Master Issuer, the Parent Companies, the Manager or the Guarantors, except that the Master Issuer, the Parent Companies, the Manager and the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Sections 6 and 13 except with respect to a defaulting Initial Purchaser and except that the provisions of Section 8 shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Wendy’s Parties or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

11. Termination. The Representatives shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date, if, at or after the Applicable Time: (i) any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Representatives will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market for the Master Issuer’s securities or securities in general; or (ii) trading on the NYSE or NASDAQ shall have been suspended or been made subject to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on the NYSE or NASDAQ or by order of the Commission or any other governmental

authority having jurisdiction; or (iii) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (iv) (A) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (B) there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (A) or (B), in the judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Offered Notes, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Final Offering Memorandum; or (v) any of the events described in Sections 7(t) or 7(x) shall have occurred or the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Offered Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement. Any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be in writing.

12. Non-Assignability. None of the Wendy’s Parties may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Initial Purchasers may not assign their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that each Initial Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its affiliates as the purchaser of the Offered Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder (“Substituting Initial Purchaser”), by a written notice to the Master Issuer and subject to the consent of the Master Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), which notice shall be signed by both the Substituting Initial Purchaser and such affiliate, shall contain such affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 3. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word “Initial Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 12), such word shall be deemed to refer to such affiliate in lieu of the Substituting Initial Purchaser.

13. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If (a) the Master Issuer for any reason fails to tender the Offered Notes for delivery to the Initial Purchasers, or (b) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Offered Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Master Issuer, the Parent Companies, the Manager and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable and reasonably documented out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers) incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Offered Notes, and upon demand ▇▇▇▇▇’s Parties shall pay the full amount thereof to the Initial Purchasers. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 by reason of the default of one or more Initial Purchasers, the Wendy’s Parties shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Initial Purchaser on account of those expenses.

14. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

(a) if to the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by hand delivery, mail, overnight courier or facsimile transmission to (i) Guggenheim Securities, LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Structured Products Capital Markets, with a copy to the General Counsel and with a copy to White & Case LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and (ii) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, with a copy to White & Case LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇;

15. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Wendy’s Parties and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except that the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of ▇▇▇▇▇’s Parties contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of the Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party and, in the case of Section 8(b) only, the ▇▇▇▇▇’s Indemnified Party. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 15, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.

17. Definition of the Terms “Business Day”, “Affiliate”, and “Subsidiary”. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “Business Day” means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading, and (b) “affiliate” and “subsidiary” have the meanings set forth in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no franchisee shall be deemed to be an affiliate solely based on its position as such.

18. Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute, claim, controversy, disagreement, action, proceeding or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, including the scope or validity of this provision, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
