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 Wendy’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 Wendy’s Party within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each a “Wendy’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 the 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).

(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 Wendy’s Parties, any contribution received by the Wendy’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 Wendy’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”).

10.                Termination.  The Representative 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 Representative 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 Representative, 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(q) or 7(s) 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 10 shall be in writing.

11.               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 11), such word shall be deemed to refer to such affiliate in lieu of the Substituting Initial Purchaser.

23.                Severability.  In case any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
