AMENDMENTS
2.1 Section 6.3 of the Share Exchange Agreement is amended to read as
follows:
TRANSFER BY SELLER. Seller shall not transfer (other than to Wendy's, a

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may from time to time transfer
all or any portion of Seller's Newco Exchangeable Shares to a bank
chartered under the laws of Canada (the "Bank"), as security for loans
made by the Bank to Seller, provided that the Bank gives written notice
to Wendy's and WENTIM of any pledge of Newco Exchangeable Shares along
with a copy of the pledge and further provided that the Bank has
agreed, as pledgee, to be bound by the provisions of the Share Exchange
Agreement and the Guaranty. Upon receipt by Wendy's and Newco of a
certificate from an officer of the Bank stating that Seller is in
default in any payment of principal of or interest accruing on loans
made by the Bank to Seller, and specifying the number of Newco
Exchangeable Shares pledged to the Bank by Seller, the Bank shall be
entitled to all of the rights of and be subject to all of the
obligations of Seller with respect to such number of Newco Exchangeable
Shares as if the Bank were named in this Agreement in place of Seller.
The Bank shall also provide written notice to Wendy's and WENTIM if the
pledge ceases to be in effect.

(b) the execution of an instrument in writing terminating this
Agreement, signed by duly authorized officers or representatives of
Wendy's, WENTIM and by Seller; and in the event that Newco Exchangeable
Shares are pledged to a Bank which has notified Wendy's and WENTIM of
such pledge and which has complied with Section 6.3 hereof, no such
instrument will have the effect of terminating this Agreement without
the consent of the Bank.
