Cash Incentive Plans

      Arby's has an annual cash incentive plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”) and a mid-term cash incentive plan (the “Mid-Term Incentive Plan”) for executive officers and key employees.

      The Annual Incentive Plan is designed to provide annual incentive awards to participants, with amounts payable being linked to whether Arby's has met certain pre-determined financial goals and the performance of the participant during the preceding year. Under the Annual Incentive Plan, participants may receive awards of a specified percentage of their then current base salaries, which percentage varies depending upon the level of seniority and responsibility of the participant. Such percentage is set by the company's management in consultation with management of Triarc. The board of directors of Arby's, in consultation with management of Triarc and the Compensation Committee of the Triarc Board of Directors, may elect to adjust awards on a discretionary basis to reflect the relative individual contribution of the executive or key employee, to evaluate the “quality” of the company's earnings or to take into account external factors that affect performance results. The board of directors of Arby's may also decide that multiple performance objectives related to the company's and/or the individual's performance may be appropriate and in such event, such factors would be weighted in order to determine the amount of the annual incentive awards. The Annual Incentive Plan may be amended or terminated at any time.

      Under the Mid-Term Incentive Plan, incentive awards are granted to participants if Arby's achieves an agreed upon profit over a three year performance cycle. During each plan year, an amount is accrued for each participant based upon the amount by which the company's profit for such year exceeds a certain minimum return. A new three-year performance cycle begins each year, such that after the third year the annual cash amount paid to participants pursuant to the Mid-Term Incentive Plan should equal the target award if Arby's profit goals have been achieved for the full three-year cycle. Except as may otherwise be set forth in a participant's employment agreement, the board of directors of Arby's, together with Triarc's management and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, may adjust an individual's award, upward or downward, based upon an assessment of the individual's relative contribution to the company's longer-term profit performance. The Mid-Term Incentive Plan may be amended or terminated at any time.
