NOTE
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This
Note Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”),
dated as of June 27, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between FAT Brands Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and Fog Cutter Capital Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Holder”).

 

Whereas,
on or about October 20, 2017, the Company issued a Promissory Note to the Holder with an initial principal amount of $30,000,000
(the “Note”), which has an estimated outstanding balance of principal plus accrued interest as of the Effective
Date equal to $9,844,411 (the “Note Balance”); and

 

Whereas,
the parties desire that the Holder exchange all of the Note Balance into shares of Common Stock and Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative
Preferred Stock of the Company.

 

Now,
Therefore, in consideration of these premises
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

 

1.
Exchange of Note Balance.

 

(a)
The Holder agree that as of the Effective Date, the Note Balance shall be exchanged for the following shares of capital stock
of the Company as follows (the “Exchange Shares”): 

 

	 	(i)	$2,000,000
    of the Note Balance shall be exchanged as the purchase price for a subscription to 20,000 shares of Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative
    Preferred Stock of the Company; and 
	 	 	 
	 	(ii)	The
    remaining Note Balance of $7,844,411 shall be exchanged for 1,067,266 shares of Common Stock of the Company, representing
    an exchange price of $7.35 per share, which the Company has determined is equal to or greater than the market value of the
    Common Stock on the date hereof determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. 

 

(b)
On the Exchange Date, the Note shall be cancelled, and the Company shall have no further obligations to pay any money or
issue any securities to the Holder or otherwise in respect of the Note. The Holder acknowledge and agree that no interest is
payable under any of the Note. 

 

(c)
Subject to the approval or non-objection, if required, by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement, promptly following the Exchange Date the Company will issue and deliver to the Holder certificates
evidencing the Exchange Shares, and the Holder shall deliver the original Note for cancellation to the Company.

 

(d)
As soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) days following the release of the Company’s quarterly financial
statements for the quarter ending July 1, 2018, the Company will re-confirm the amount of the Note Balance as of the
Effective Date. If the final computation of the Note Balance as of the Effective Date is greater or lesser than the Note
Balance, the parties will true up the actual number of Exchange Shares issued to Holder based on the revised amount of the
Note Balance.

The Exchange Shares being acquired by the Holder are being acquired for the Holder’s own account and for the purpose of
investment and not with a view to, or in connection with, the resale, transfer or other distribution thereof, nor with any
present intention of reselling, transferring or distributing the Exchange Shares. Any sale, transfer or other disposition of
any of the Exchange Shares by the Holder will be made only if such securities are registered under the Securities Act of

Securities Act, or the rules thereunder, and any applicable state securities laws.

 

(b)
The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities

the Holder in accordance with its terms.

legal counsel or advisors have provided any tax advice or information to the Holder. The Holder acknowledges that it must

and Assigns. The provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and their
respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

(as revised by the Schedule of Increases and

Decreases in Global Security attached hereto)

 BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY FINANCE CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., the registered Holder hereof, the principal
sum of                  Dollars ($                )
(as revised by the Schedule of Increases and Decreases in Global Security attached hereto) on August 15, 2048, and to pay interest thereon from and including August 15, 2018 or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (as
defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 in each year, commencing February 15, 2019 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate of 4.200% per annum
(as adjusted, if at all, pursuant to such Indenture, the “Interest Rate”), until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment; provided that any principal, and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall
bear interest at the Interest Rate (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) for such interest. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either
be paid to the Person in whose name this Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof
shall be given to Holders of Debt Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which
the Debt Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in such Indenture. “Regular Record Date” means, with respect to any Interest Payment Date, the
February 1 or August 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. 

Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Debt Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of New York, New York (or, if the Company does not maintain such office or agency, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the City of New York or if the Trustee does not maintain an office in the City
of New York, at the office of a Paying Agent in the City of New York), in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debt; provided, however, that at the
option of the Company payments of principal, premium or interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, subject to surrender at such office or agency, in the
case of payments of principal or premium. 

 This Debt Security may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at
any time prior to the Par Call Date at a redemption price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed or (B) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal and interest on the portion of this Debt Security being redeemed that would be due if such portion of the Debt Security matured on the Par Call Date, not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date fixed for
redemption, discounted to the date fixed for redemption on a semi-annual basis assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate
plus twenty (20) basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of this Debt Security being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. 

This Debt Security may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time on or after the Par Call Date at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of this Debt Security being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. 

In the event of redemption of this Debt Security in part only, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of this series and of like tenor for the
unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 The Quotation Agent will select a
Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Reference Dealers will provide the Company and the Trustee with the Reference Dealer Quotations. The Company will calculate the Comparable Treasury Price. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, for any date fixed for redemption, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the date fixed for redemption, in each case expressed as a percentage of its principal amount. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, for any date fixed for redemption, the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent
which has a maturity comparable to the remaining maturity of this Debt Security as of the date fixed for redemption (assuming, for this purpose, that this Debt Security matures on the Par Call Date), which would be used in accordance with customary
financial practice to price new issues of corporate debt securities with a maturity comparable to the remaining maturity of this Debt Security as of the date fixed for redemption (assuming, for this purpose, that this Debt Security matures on the
Par Call Date). 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any Comparable Treasury Issue, the price after eliminating the highest
and the lowest Reference Dealer Quotations and then calculating the average of the remaining Reference Dealer Quotations; provided, however, that if the Company obtains fewer than three Reference Dealer Quotations, the Company will, when calculating
the Comparable Treasury Price, calculate the average of all the Reference Dealer Quotations and not eliminate any such quotations. 

“Par Call Date” means February 15, 2048. 

“Quotation Agent” means Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated or its successor. 

“Reference Dealers” means Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells
Fargo Securities, LLC or their respective successors, and one or more other primary U.S. government securities dealers in the City of New York appointed by the Company, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their respective successors
ceases to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the City of New York, the Company will appoint another primary U.S. government securities dealer in the City of New York as a substitute. 

 “Reference Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Dealer, for any
Comparable Treasury Issue, the average, as determined by the Company and notified to the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing by
such Reference Dealer to the Company and the Trustee as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the third business day before the relevant date fixed for redemption. 

The Company may elect to effect a redemption in accordance with these provisions at any time and on any date. However, the Company must give
the Holders of this Debt Security notice, as provided in the Indenture, of the redemption not less than 30 days or more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all the Debt Securities of this
series, the Trustee will select the particular Debt Securities of this series to be redeemed by such method that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and, in the case of redemption of less than all of any Global Security, pursuant to the
applicable Depositary’s procedures. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Debt Security set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Debt Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

 [REVERSE OF DEBT SECURITY] 

This Debt Security is one of a duly authorized series of notes of the Company (herein called the “Debt Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 26, 2016 (herein called the “Base Indenture”, and as supplemented by the Officers’ Certificate dated August 15, 2018 with respect to this Debt Security,
together with the Base Indenture, called the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., as guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor,” which term shall include any successor Guarantor under the Indenture),
and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Debt Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $2,350,000,000. The Company may at any time issue additional securities under the Indenture in unlimited amounts having the same
terms as the Debt Securities of a series, provided that no additional securities of a series may be issued if at the time of issuance an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of securities. 

This Debt Security does not have the benefit of any sinking fund obligation. 

In the event of redemption of this Debt Security in part only, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of this series and of like tenor for the
unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 The Indenture contains provisions
for defeasance at any time of the entire Indebtedness of this Debt Security or of certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Debt Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the
Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Debt Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture
permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of each series and of Guarantees to
be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected
(voting together as a single class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Debt
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and/or the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Debt
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of
such consent or waiver is made upon this Debt Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this
Debt Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for 

 
the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with
respect to the Debt Securities of this series, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such
Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Debt Securities of this series at the time
Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Holder of this Debt Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any interest on this Debt Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Debt Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Debt Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Debt Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Debt
Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Indenture and this Debt Security are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions
thereof.

 GUARANTEE OF 

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC. 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to the holders (the “Holders”) of any security authenticated and delivered (each a “Security”) by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) under that certain
Indenture, dated as of January 26, 2016 (the “Indenture”), among the Trustee, the Guarantor and Berkshire Hathaway Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Issuer”), the full and prompt payment when due (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future payment obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such Security and/or the Indenture, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal,
interest, fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (collectively, the “Obligations”). Nothing herein shall be deemed to guarantee any obligation of the Issuer other than the Obligations. Nothing herein shall be deemed to guarantee any
obligation of any person or entity other than the Issuer. 
 The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute,
and shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by (i) the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any provision of the Security or
the Indenture, (iii) any liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Issuer or its assets, or (iv) any other circumstance relating to the Obligations that might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge of, or defense to, the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that the Holders and/or the Trustee may resort to the Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, for payment of any of the Obligations whether or not the
Holders or the Trustee shall have proceeded against the Issuer or any other obligor principally or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Obligations. Neither the Holders nor the Trustee shall be obligated to file any claim relating to any
of the Obligations in the event that the Issuer becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Holders or the Trustee to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In the event
that any payment to the Holders by the Issuer in respect of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to such Obligations as if such payment had not
been made. 
 The Guarantor agrees that, subject to the Indenture, the Holders and/or the Trustee may at any time and from time to time,
either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, or renew any of the Obligations, and may also make any agreement with the
Issuer or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Obligations or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or
of any agreement between the Holders, the Trustee and the Issuer or any such other party or person, and that none of the foregoing shall in any way impair or affect this Guarantee. 

The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of the acceptance of this
Guarantee and of the Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor and protest, (b) any requirement that any Holder exhaust any right or take any action against the Issuer, and (c) any right to revoke this Guarantee.

 The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Holders or the Trustee in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Holders and/or the Trustee hereunder. 

Upon payment of any of the Obligations, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders and/or the Trustee against the Issuer
with respect to such Obligations, and the Holders and the Trustee agree to take such steps, at the Guarantor’s expense, as the Guarantor may reasonably request to implement such subrogation; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be
entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation during any period in which any amount payable by the Issuer under the Security or the Indenture is overdue or unpaid. 

No failure on the part of the Holders or the Trustee to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holders or the Trustee of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power
hereby granted to the Holders or the Trustee or allowed any of them by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Holders or the Trustee at any time or from time to time. 

The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that: 

(a) the Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full corporate
power to execute, deliver and perform this Guarantee; 
 (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been and remain duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene any provision of the Guarantor’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, as amended to date, or any law, regulation, rule, decree, order, judgment
or contractual restriction binding on the Guarantor or its assets; 
 (c) all consents, licenses, clearances, authorizations and approvals of, and
registrations and declarations with, any governmental authority or regulatory body necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been obtained and remain in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have
been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Guarantee; 

(d) this Guarantee constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and 

(e) there are no actions, suits or arbitration proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened against it, at law or in equity, which,
individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, would materially adversely affect the financial condition of the Guarantor or materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this Guarantee. 

The Guarantor may not assign its obligations hereunder to any person (except as permitted by the Indenture) without the prior written consent
of the Holders or the Trustee. 

 All payments by the Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee shall be made in accordance with
the provisions of the Indenture and the Security; provided, however, that payment of any fees or expenses pursuant to the fifth paragraph hereof shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a commercial bank in the
United States specified to the Guarantor at least ten (10) days in advance of any demand for payment by the Holders or the Trustee. 

All notices or demands on the Guarantor shall be deemed effective when received, shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or by
registered mail, or by facsimile transmission promptly confirmed by registered mail, addressed to the Guarantor at: 
 Berkshire Hathaway
Inc. 
 3555 Farnam Street 

Omaha, NE 68131 
 Attention: Chief
Financial Officer 
 Facsimile: (402) 346-3375 

or to such other addresses or facsimile numbers as the Guarantor shall have notified the Holders or the Trustee in a written notice delivered in accordance
with the Indenture. 
 This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the Guarantor, its successors and
assigns until all of the Obligations have been satisfied in full. 
 This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed solely within such State. 
 No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Guarantee shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee and the Guarantor. 

If for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity
shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, impair the operation of or effect of those portions of this Guarantee that are valid. 

THE GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY
WAY TO THIS GUARANTEE.
