This AGREEMENT, dated as of March 2, 2006 (the “Agreement”), is by and among Wendy’s International, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and the entities listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Investors”).

WHEREAS, the Investors are the beneficial owners of shares of common stock, $0.10 stated value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) as specified in Section 1.2 of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company has agreed that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) will (1) increase the size of the Board from twelve (12) to fifteen (15) members and (2) appoint as directors to fill the three newly created vacancies Peter H. Rothschild, Stuart I. Oran and Jerry W. Levin (the “Investor Nominees”), with terms expiring in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively;

WHEREAS, the Company has agreed that at the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2006 Annual Meeting”), the Board will nominate for election as a member of the Board, and recommend that the stockholders of the Company vote to elect as a director of the Company, the slate of directors (the “Incumbent Slate”) recommended for election by the current Board and Mr. Peter H.

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that the business prospects of both the Company and Tim Hortons Inc.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

In connection therewith, each party agrees that, until such Specified Dispute is resolved, the Standstill Period, and the provisions hereof relating thereto, shall continue to be in effect, and any party may seek a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order or other provisional remedy in a court specified in Section 3.1(b) above.

(i) The parties agree that they will mutually agree upon one person to serve as an arbitrator for purposes of this Section 3.1(c) within ten (10) business days of the date hereof (the “Specified Arbitrator”). In the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement on the Specified Arbitrator within such time period, within five (5) business days of the end of such ten business day period each party shall designate, in its sole discretion and in writing one (1) arbitrator and the two arbitrators thus selected shall in turn jointly specify, within five (5) business days of their designation and in accordance with the procedure established by the American Arbitration Association, a third arbitrator, which arbitrator shall, alone, act as the Specified Arbitrator hereunder. If such two arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator within the time period specified in the preceding sentence, then any party hereto may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint an arbitrator to act as the Specified Arbitrator, and the other parties shall cooperate therewith. The Specified Arbitrator shall be a professional experienced in commercial and business affairs who is not an employee, consultant, officer or director of any party hereto or any Affiliate of any party to this Agreement and shall not have received any compensation, directly or indirectly, from any party hereto or any Affiliate of any party to this Agreement during the two (2) year period preceding the date hereof. In the event that the Specified Arbitrator becomes unwilling or unable to serve as such, then such Specified Arbitrator shall select a replacement as promptly as practicable, and such replacement shall be deemed to be the Specified Arbitrator hereunder. If the Specified Arbitrator does not select a replacement within ten (10) business days, then a replacement shall be selected pursuant to the first three sentences of this Section 3.1(c)(i), which arbitrator shall, alone, act as the Specified Arbitrator hereunder.

(ii) The party initiating the dispute shall notify the other party (the “Receiving Party”) and the Specified Arbitrator in writing of the matter or matters in dispute (such notification in writing shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Arbitration Notice”).

(iii) The arbitration shall be governed by the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association with limited discovery in the discretion of the Specified Arbitrator; provided, however, that the Specified Arbitrator shall have sole discretion with regard to the admissibility of evidence. Ohio law shall otherwise govern in all arbitration proceedings.

(iv) The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the hearings before the Specified Arbitrator, including all discovery related thereto, to be completed within fifteen (15) business days of the date of the filing of the Arbitration Notice. The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Specified Arbitrator to use his or her reasonable best efforts to rule on each disputed issue within five (5) calendar days after the completion of the hearings. If the Specified Arbitrator has not resolved any Specified Dispute as of forty-five (45) days before any Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, the Company shall take such steps as are necessary to postpone such Annual Meeting so as to ensure that such Annual Meeting takes place no less than forty-five (45) days after the Specified Arbitrator resolves such Specified Dispute. If, as a result of this provision, the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company takes place after June 30, 2007, the Standstill Period shall automatically be extended until the completion of such Annual Meeting, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 1.3(c) hereof.

(v) The determination of the Specified Arbitrator as to the resolution of any dispute shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties hereto and shall not be appealable. All rulings of the Specified Arbitrator shall be in writing (but need not be supported by reasons) and shall be delivered to the parties hereto. Each of the Investors, on one hand, and the Company, on the other, shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Specified Arbitrator. Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court specified in Section 3.1(b) and the parties hereby consent and commit themselves to the jurisdiction of such courts for purposes of the enforcement of any arbitration award. The procedures set forth in this section shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of a Specified Dispute.

Wendy’s International, Inc. reaches agreement with Trian Partners and Sandell Asset Management

DUBLIN, Ohio (March 2, 2006) – Wendy’s International, Inc. (NYSE: WEN) and Trian Fund Management, L.P. on behalf of investment funds and accounts managed by it (“Trian Partners”) announced today that they have reached an agreement, by which Wendy’s will expand its board of directors from 12 to 15 members and add three new directors nominated by Trian Partners: Jerry W. Levin, Peter H. Rothschild and Stuart I. Oran.

The three new directors will join the Board on March 6, 2006, and will be spread evenly across Wendy’s three classes.

“We welcome these new directors to our board and look forward to working with them to enhance long-term shareholder value,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jack Schuessler.

The expanded board reflects an agreement between the Company and Trian Partners, as well as Sandell Asset Management Corp. and investment funds and accounts managed by it, under which they have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Company’s director nominees at Wendy’s April 27, 2006, annual meeting. Trian and Sandell also made certain other commitments. In addition, Wendy’s Board of Directors said that it plans the following actions to increase Wendy’s shareholder value:

•

Complete the initial public offering of Tim Hortons®, and spin off its remaining shares no later than December 31, 2006.

•

Following the initial public offering of Tim Hortons, examine ways to return excess cash to shareholders, including share repurchases or dividends, and the appropriate timing thereof.

	•	Consistent with Wendy’s recently announced “3-Year Combo Plan,” continue to focus on improving operating profit margins at Wendy’s.
	•	Explore strategic alternatives for its Baja Fresh business.

“We are focused on growing revenues and improving profitability at the core Wendy’s brand,” said Schuessler. “We have an outstanding track record of leadership and innovation in the quick service restaurant sector and look forward to regaining that position,” said Schuessler.

“We are excited that the new directors will work with the board to further enhance shareholder value at Wendy’s,” said Nelson Peltz of Trian Partners. “We are now highly supportive of Wendy’s management team and their initiatives, and we believe that these new board members will contribute to Wendy’s plan to improve its profitability.”
