(the "Company"), as amended to date (the &ldquo;Charter&rdquo;), provides indemnification to the extent not prohibited by Delaware law (including as such law may be amended in the future to be more favorable to directors and officers). Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
            &ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, such as a derivative action) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
            corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent for any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (an &ldquo;Other Entity&rdquo;).</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">The Charter provides that its current and former officers and directors, and any person serving in any capacity at the request of the Company for an Other Entity shall be entitled to such indemnification; however, the board of directors of the Company (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) may specifically grant such indemnification to other persons in respect of service to the Company or an
            Other Entity. The Charter specifies that any director or officer of the Company serving in any capacity with a majority owned subsidiary or any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any majority owned subsidiary shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Company.</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">Under Section 145 of the DGCL, depending on the nature of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person so indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
            be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or
            suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, such <font size="2">person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.</font></font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">Section 145 further provides that to the extent that a director or officer of a corporation is successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. However, if
            such director or officer is not successful in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall only be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper because he or she met the applicable standard set forth above as determined by a majority of the disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel or by the stockholders.</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">The Charter provides that expenses are to be advanced prior to the final disposition of a proceeding upon the receipt by the Company of an undertaking, as if required by the DGCL, that the director or officer or other indemnified person will repay such advances if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification under the DGCL.</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">The Charter permits a person entitled to indemnity to bring an action in court to obtain such indemnity and provides that, in any such action, the court will not be bound by a decision of the Board, independent counsel or stockholders that such person is not entitled to indemnification. Such person is also indemnified for any expenses incurred in connection with successfully
            establishing his or her right to indemnification in any such proceeding. The Charter expressly provides that the right to indemnification thereunder is a contract right and, therefore, cannot be retroactively eliminated by a later stockholder vote, and is not an exclusive right and, therefore, the Company may provide other indemnification, if appropriate.</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">The Company also enters into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers indemnifying them against liability they may incur in their capacity as such. The indemnification agreements do not provide indemnification to the extent that the indemnitee is indemnified by the Company under the Charter, its bylaws, its directors&rsquo; and officers&rsquo; liability insurance,
            or otherwise. Additionally, the indemnification agreements do not provide indemnification (i) for the return by the indemnitee of any illegal remuneration paid to him or her; (ii) for any profits payable by the indemnitee to the Company pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the &ldquo;Exchange Act&rdquo;); (iii) for any liability resulting from the indemnitee&rsquo;s fraudulent, dishonest or willful misconduct; (iv) for any amount the payment
            of which is not permitted by applicable law; (v) for any liability resulting from conduct producing unlawful personal benefit; or (vi) if a final court adjudication determines such indemnification is not lawful.</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">Determinations as to whether an indemnitee is entitled to be paid under the indemnification agreements may be made by the majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, independent legal counsel selected by the Board, a majority of disinterested Company stockholders or by a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that the Company undergoes a
            &ldquo;Change of Control&rdquo; (as defined in the indemnification agreements) all such determinations shall be made by special independent counsel selected by the indemnitee and approved by the Company, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. In certain circumstances, an indemnitee may require the Company to establish a trust fund to assure that <font size="2">funds will be available to pay any amounts which may be due such indemnitee under an indemnification
            agreement.</font></font></p>

            good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of a dividend and unlawful stock purchase and redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">Finally, the Charter authorizes the Company, as permitted by the DGCL, to purchase directors&rsquo; and officers&rsquo; liability insurance. The Company carries directors&rsquo; and officers&rsquo; liability insurance covering losses up to specified amounts.</font></p>

            <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 5.95pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.28in" align="justify"><font size="2">In addition, the by-laws of the Company, as amended and restated to date (the &ldquo;By-Laws&rdquo;), also provides indemnification to its directors and officers to the extent not prohibited by Delaware law.</font></p>

Prior to the consummation of the Merger, at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2002 Plan to increase the total number of the Company's Class B common stock, Series 1, par value $0.01 per share ("Class B common stock") available for issuance by 7,400,000 shares.
Upon consummation of the Merger on September 29, 2008, (i) each Wendy's common share was exchanged for 4.25 shares of Class A common stock, (ii) each issued and outstanding share of Class B common stock was converted into a share of Class A common stock, (iii) all rights, whether contingent or accrued, to receive shares of Class B common stock granted under the Company's
            Plans listed above were converted into rights to receive shares of Class A common stock on a 1:1 basis and (iv) all rights, whether contingent or accrued, to receive Wendy's common shares granted under the Wendy's Plans listed above were converted by virtue of the Merger into rights to receive shares of Class A common stock. The number of shares subject to such converted rights under the Wendy's Plans were adjusted by multiplying the number of shares subject to
            such rights by 4.25.
3
Following the Merger and the recapitalization, Wendy's/Arby's may continue to grant awards under (i) the Wendy's Plans, except that securities available for issuance thereunder will be shares of Class A common stock, in an amount equal to the number of Wendy's common shares that remained available for issuance under the Wendy's plans at the closing of the merger,
            multiplied by the exchange ratio of 4.25 and (ii) the Triarc Plans, except that all securities available for issuance thereunder will be shares of Class A common stock, in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Triarc Class A common stock that remained available for issuance under the Triarc plans immediately prior to the recapitalization, and (y) the number of shares of Class B common stock that remained available for issuance under the Triarc plans immediately
            prior to the recapitalization.

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The certificate of incorporation of Wendy's/Arby's Group, Inc. (the "Company"), as amended to date (the "Charter"), provides indemnification to the extent not prohibited by Delaware law (including as such law may be amended in the future to be more favorable to directors and officers). Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
            "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, such as a derivative action) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
            corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent for any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (an "Other Entity").
The Charter provides that its current and former officers and directors, and any person serving in any capacity at the request of the Company for an Other Entity shall be entitled to such indemnification; however, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") may specifically grant such indemnification to other persons in respect of service to the Company or an
            Other Entity. The Charter specifies that any director or officer of the Company serving in any capacity with a majority owned subsidiary or any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any majority owned subsidiary shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Company.
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, depending on the nature of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person so indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
            be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or
            suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.
6
Section 145 further provides that to the extent that a director or officer of a corporation is successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. However, if
            such director or officer is not successful in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall only be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper because he or she met the applicable standard set forth above as determined by a majority of the disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel or by the stockholders.
The Charter provides that expenses are to be advanced prior to the final disposition of a proceeding upon the receipt by the Company of an undertaking, as if required by the DGCL, that the director or officer or other indemnified person will repay such advances if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification under the DGCL.
The Charter permits a person entitled to indemnity to bring an action in court to obtain such indemnity and provides that, in any such action, the court will not be bound by a decision of the Board, independent counsel or stockholders that such person is not entitled to indemnification. Such person is also indemnified for any expenses incurred in connection with successfully
            establishing his or her right to indemnification in any such proceeding. The Charter expressly provides that the right to indemnification thereunder is a contract right and, therefore, cannot be retroactively eliminated by a later stockholder vote, and is not an exclusive right and, therefore, the Company may provide other indemnification, if appropriate.
The Company also enters into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers indemnifying them against liability they may incur in their capacity as such. The indemnification agreements do not provide indemnification to the extent that the indemnitee is indemnified by the Company under the Charter, its bylaws, its directors' and officers' liability insurance,
            or otherwise. Additionally, the indemnification agreements do not provide indemnification (i) for the return by the indemnitee of any illegal remuneration paid to him or her; (ii) for any profits payable by the indemnitee to the Company pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the "Exchange Act"); (iii) for any liability resulting from the indemnitee's fraudulent, dishonest or willful misconduct; (iv) for any amount the payment
            of which is not permitted by applicable law; (v) for any liability resulting from conduct producing unlawful personal benefit; or (vi) if a final court adjudication determines such indemnification is not lawful.
Determinations as to whether an indemnitee is entitled to be paid under the indemnification agreements may be made by the majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, independent legal counsel selected by the Board, a majority of disinterested Company stockholders or by a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that the Company undergoes a
            "Change of Control" (as defined in the indemnification agreements) all such determinations shall be made by special independent counsel selected by the indemnitee and approved by the Company, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. In certain circumstances, an indemnitee may require the Company to establish a trust fund to assure that
funds will be available to pay any amounts which may be due such indemnitee under an indemnification
            agreement.
7
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Charter includes a provision which eliminates the personal liability of a director to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, other than liability (i) for the breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Company and its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
            good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of a dividend and unlawful stock purchase and redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit.
Finally, the Charter authorizes the Company, as permitted by the DGCL, to purchase directors' and officers' liability insurance. The Company carries directors' and officers' liability insurance covering losses up to specified amounts.
In addition, the by-laws of the Company, as amended and restated to date (the "By-Laws"), also provides indemnification to its directors and officers to the extent not prohibited by Delaware law.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Sections 145 and 102 of the DGCL, the Charter, the By-Laws and the referenced indemnification agreements.

UNDERTAKINGS
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1.
To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
                            the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
                            Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that
, paragraphs 1(i) and 1(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by us pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
            statement.
2.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
9
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
                            statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
                            is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
                            matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES
