Re:      Assignment and Assumption of Lease dated as of July 1, 2007
         by and between Triarc Companies, Inc., as assignor and Trian
         Fund Management L.P., as assignee

Gentlemen:

All terms not otherwise  defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the captioned assignment ("Assignment").

Triarc Companies,  Inc.  ("Triarc") has assigned to Trian Fund Management,  L.P.
("Trian")  that certain  Lease for Apartment  28A in the  Waldorf-Astoria  Hotel
pursuant to the Assignment.

The  Assignment  provided that upon  execution  and delivery of the  Assignment,
Assignee  was to pay to  Assignor  an  amount  equal  to the  Security  Deposit.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing  provisions of the Assignment,  in lieu of making
such  payment,  Triarc and Trian agree that the security  held by Hilton  Hotels
Corporation  ("Hilton")  under the Lease in the  amount of  $112,500  ("Original
Security") shall remain the property of Triarc and upon expiration of the Lease,
shall be returned to Triarc.  Any  additional  security  deposited by Trian with
Hilton shall be the property of Trian.

In the event Hilton, or its successors,  draws upon the Original Security, Trian
agrees to promptly replenish said Original Security so that all times, until the
expiration,  or earlier  termination,  of the Lease, the full Original  Security
shall remain on deposit with Hilton.  If Trian  defaults under the Lease and the
Lease is  terminated  and Hilton  retains  all or any  portion  of the  Original
Security, Trian shall, within ten (10) days thereafter,  pay to Triarc an amount
equal to the portion of the Original Security retained by Hilton.

If Trian renews the Lease beyond its current  expiration of July 31, 2010, Trian
shall pay to Triarc,  on July 31, 2010, an amount equal to the Original Security
and all  security  then held by  Hilton  shall at all  times  thereafter  be the
property of Trian.  In the event Hilton  fails to return the  security  upon the
expiration, or earlier termination, of the initial term of the Lease, subject to
the terms of the preceding sentence,  Trian agrees to commence such action as is
required to obtain a return of the security and diligently prosecute such action
to completion. Triarc and Trian agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in
the prosecution of any claim against Hilton.

                                  Very truly yours,

                                  Trian Fund Management, L.P.

Maryland corporation (the "Buyer"), DFR Merger Company, LLC, an Illinois limited
liability  company ("Buyer Sub"),  Deerfield & Company LLC, an Illinois  limited
liability  company  (the  "Company"),  and  solely  for the  purposes  set forth
therein,  Triarc Companies,  Inc., a Delaware corporation (in such capacity, the
"Sellers' Representative"); and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as
of April 19, 2007 (as amended,  supplemented or otherwise  modified from time to
time, the "Registration  Rights  Agreement")  among the Buyer,  Triarc Deerfield
Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("TDH"), and the Persons who
may  become  parties  thereto  from  time to time in  accordance  with the terms
thereof (collectively, the "Stockholders") and the Sellers' Representative. This
Side  Letter is being  entered  into  pursuant  to  Section  11.12 of the Merger
Agreement and Section 8(d) of the  Registration  Rights  Agreement.  Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise  defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the Merger Agreement.

     The parties  acknowledge  and agree that Section  11.4(a) did not correctly
express the intent of the parties.  Accordingly,  the parties hereby acknowledge
and agree that for all  purposes  under the Merger  Agreement  the  reference in
Section  11.4(a) to  "Section  11.2(a)(iii)"  should be replaced  with  "Section
11.2(a)(v)".

     In addition,  the  following  provisions  of the Merger  Agreement  and the
Registration Rights Agreement are waived as provided herein:

     1. The Buyer,  the Company and the  Sellers'  Representative  hereby  waive
compliance  with the provisions of Section  6.7(a) of the Merger  Agreement that
require  each of the Buyer and the  Company  to make,  or cause to be made,  the
appropriate filings of the Notification and Report Forms pursuant to the HSR Act
with respect to the transactions  contemplated by the Merger Agreement within 10
Business  Days of April 19,  2007.  The  Buyer,  the  Company  and the  Sellers'
Representative acknowledge that such filings were made on May 25, 2007.

     2. The Company and the Sellers' Representative hereby waive compliance with
the provisions of Section 6.9(a) of the Merger  Agreement that require the Buyer
to prepare and file with the SEC the  preliminary  Proxy Statement not more than
30 days after  April 19,  2007.  The  Company  and the  Sellers'  Representative
acknowledge  that the Buyer filed the  preliminary  Proxy  Statement  on May 25,
2007.

     3. The Company  hereby waives its right to terminate  the Merger  Agreement
pursuant to Section 10.1(d) of the Merger  Agreement.  The Company  acknowledges
that the Buyer obtained an executed Debt Commitment Letter on May 24, 2007.

     4. TDH and the Sellers'  Representative  hereby waive  compliance  with the
provisions of Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement that require the
Buyer to  prepare  and file or cause to be  prepared  and filed with the SEC the
Shelf Registration  Statement (as defined in the Registration  Rights Agreement)
not later than 30 days after April 19, 2007; provided, that the Buyer shall file
the Shelf  Registration  Statement  at any time on or prior to the Closing  Date
(but  prior  to the  Closing)  pursuant  to  the  automatic  shelf  registration
statement provisions set forth in General Instruction I.D. of Form S-3.

     Except to the extent  specifically  modified herein, the parties agree that
the provisions of the Merger  Agreement and the  Registration  Rights  Agreement
shall  remain  unmodified.   This  Side  Letter,   the  Merger  Agreement,   the
Registration Rights Agreement and the other agreements and documents referred to
therein  constitute the entire  agreement  among the parties with respect to the
subject  matter  hereof and  thereof  and  supersede  all prior  agreements  and
understandings,  both oral and  written,  among the parties  with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof.

     This  Side  Letter  may be  executed  by the  parties  hereto  in  separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Each  counterpart  may consist of a number of copies  hereof each signed by less
than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.  The delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Side Letter by facsimile or electronic transmission
shall be deemed to be valid delivery thereof.

     If you are in agreement  with the  foregoing,  please execute and deliver a
counterpart of this Side Letter as indicated below and return it to us.

                                  Sincerely yours,

    WITNESSETH:

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Corporation and the Executive have previously entered into the Amended
      and
      Restated Change in Control Agreement, dated as of [_____], 2006
      (the "Original Agreement");

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Corporation and the Executive desire to amend the terms of the Original
      Agreement as set forth in this Amendment;

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Executive agree as follows:

     

    1.           Definitions.  Terms

    2.           Amendments.  The
      Corporation and the Executive each desire to amend the Original Agreement as
      follows:

     

    (a)    The
      last sentence of
      Section 7(d)(i)(C)(x) of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted.

     

    (b)           The
      last sentence of Section 7(d)(ii) of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted
      and amended in its entirety to read as follows:

      the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(d)(ii), in no event any Underpayment
      hereunder will be made after the later of (x) the last day of the Executive's
      taxable year next following the year in which the taxes that are the subject
      of
      the audit or litigation are remitted to the taxing authority, or (y) if no
      taxes
      are to be remitted, the last day of the Executive's taxable year next following
      the year in which the audit or litigation is completed."

     

    (c)           The
      last sentence of Section 12 of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted and
      amended to read in its entirety as follows:

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
       

    

              
      "Such
      payments of legal fees and expenses (and interest payments relating thereto)
      will only be made if (a) the payment is based on an objectively determinable
      nondiscretionary definition of the eligible reimbursement, (b) the reimbursement
      is available for a specified period (including for life of the Executive),
      (c)
      the amount of expenses eligible for reimbusement during the Executive's taxable
      year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable
      year, (d) the reimbursement is made on or before the last day of the Executive's
      taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred,
      and
      (e) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for
      another benefit."

     

    3.           Notices.  Any
      notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this
      Amendment shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when

      receipt thereof orally confirmed) or five business days after having been mailed
      by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
      prepaid, or three business days after having been sent by a nationally
      recognized overnight courier service such as Fed Ex or UPS, addressed to the
      Corporation (to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation) at its
      principal executive office and to the Executive at the Executive's principal
      residence, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the
      other
      in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address
      will be effective only upon receipt.

     

    4.           Governing
      Law.  The provisions of this Amendment shall be construed in
      accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa, without reference to principles
      of conflicts of laws.

     

    5.           Amendment.  This
      Amendment may be amended or cancelled by mutual agreement of the parties in
      writing without the consent of any other person and, so long as the Executive

      interest in this Agreement or the subject matter hereof.

     

    6.           Successor
      to the Corporation.  This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of
      and be binding upon the Corporation and its successors.  The
      Corporation shall require any successor to all or substantially all of the
      business and/or assets of the Corporation, whether direct or indirect, by

      agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to
      assume and agree to perform this Amendment in the same manner and to the same
      extent as the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession
      had
      taken place.  This Amendment will inure to the benefit of and be
      enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors,
      administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and legatees.

     

    7.           Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)    In
      the event that any
      provision or portion of Amendment shall be determined to be invalid or
      unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of Amendment shall be
      unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

     

        

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (b)    The
      Corporation may
      withhold from any amounts payable under this Amendment such Federal, state
      or
      local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable
      law
      or regulation.

     

    (c)    This Amendment,
      together with the Original Agreement, contains the entire understanding with
      the
      Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any
      similar agreement previously entered into between the Corporation and the
      Executive. 

     

    (d)    The
      Corporation hereby waives any and all conflicts of interest and attorney-client
      privilege that would prohibit counsel to the Corporation from representing
      the
      Executive in disputes relating to this Amendment.
