(i)

in favor of the Triarc Stockholder Approval Matters;

(ii)          against the approval of any matter or proposal submitted to the shareholders of Triarc for approval, if approval of such agreement would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation of Triarc under the Merger Agreement; and
