[THIS NOTE CONTAINS SOME PROVISIONS PRECEDED BY BOXES. IF A BOX IS MARKED, THE
PROVISION APPLIES TO THIS TRANSACTION; IF IT IS NOT MARKED, THE PROVISION DOES
NOT APPLY TO THIS TRANSACTION.]

1.   RATE.

[X] PRIME RATE. The Rate per annum shall be the Prime Rate. The "Prime Rate" is
the fluctuating rate of interest established by Bank from time to time, at its
discretion, whether or not such rate shall be otherwise published. The Prime
Rate is established by Bank as an index and may or may not at any time be the
best or lowest rate charged by Bank on any loan.

[_]  FIXED RATE.  The Rate shall be fixed at ___________________ percent
per annum.

[_]  OTHER.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Note, Bank does not intend to charge and
Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount of interest or other charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by the applicable law of the State of New York;
if any higher rate ceiling is lawful, then that higher rate ceiling shall apply.
Any payment in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to Borrower or credited
against principal, at the option of Bank.

2. ACCRUAL METHOD. Unless otherwise indicated, interest at the Rate set forth
above will be calculated by the 365/360 day method (a daily amount of interest
is computed for a hypothetical year of 360 days; that amount is multiplied by
the actual number of days for which any principal is outstanding hereunder). If
interest is not to be computed using this method, the method shall be:

<PAGE>   2
3. RATE CHANGE DATE. Any Rate based on a fluctuating index or base rate will
change, unless otherwise provided, each time and as of the date that the index
or base rate changes. If the Rate is to change on any other date or at any other
interval, the change shall be:

In the event any index is discontinued, Bank shall substitute an index
determined by Bank to be comparable, in its sole discretion.

4. PAYMENT SCHEDULE. All payments received hereunder shall be applied first to
the payment of any expense or charges payable hereunder or under any other loan
documents executed in connection with this Note, then to interest due and
payable, with the balance applied to principal, or in such other order as Bank
shall determine at its option.

[_] PRINCIPAL PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST. Principal shall be paid in consecutive
equal installments of $_____________________, plus accrued interest, payable [_]
monthly, [_] quarterly or [_]_____________________________________, commencing
on ______________________, 199__, and continuing on the [_] same day, [_] last
day of each successive month, quarter or other period (as applicable)
thereafter, with a final payment of all unpaid principal and accrued interest
due on ______________________, 199__.

[_] FIXED PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Principal and interest shall be paid in
consecutive equal installments of $______________, payable [_] monthly, [_]
quarterly or [_]______________________, commencing on _____________________,
199__, and continuing on the [_] same day, [_] last day of each successive
month, quarter or other period (as applicable) thereafter, with a final payment
of all unpaid principal and interest due thereon on ________________________,
199__. If, on any payment date, accrued interest exceeds the installment amount
set forth above, Borrower will also pay such excess as and when billed.

[X] SINGLE PRINCIPAL PAYMENT. Principal shall be paid in full in a single
payment on APRIL 15, 2001. Interest thereon shall be paid [_] at maturity, or
else [X] monthly, [_] quarterly or [_] ________________________________,
commencing on MAY 1, 2000, and continuing on the [X] same day, [_] last day of
each successive month, quarter or other period (as applicable) thereafter, with

5.   REVOLVING FEATURE.

[X] Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 17 below,
Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder at any time, up to a maximum
aggregate amount outstanding at any one time equal to the principal amount of
this Note, provided that Borrower is not in default under any provision of this
Note, any other documents executed in connection with this Note, or any other
note or other loan documents now or hereafter executed in connection with any
other obligation of Borrower to Bank, and provided that the borrowings hereunder
do not exceed any borrowing base or other limitation on borrowings by Borrower
from the Bank. Bank shall incur no liability for its refusal to advance funds
based upon its determination that any conditions of such further advances have
not been met. Bank records of the amounts borrowed from time to time shall be
demonstrable proof thereof.

[_] UNCOMMITTED FACILITY. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding
any provisions of this Note or any other documents executed in connection with
this Note, Bank has no obligation to make any advance, and that all advances are
at the sole discretion of Bank.

[ ] OUT-OF-DEBT PERIOD. For a period of at least 30 consecutive days during the
period prior to _____,

NationsBank                                                      Promissory Note

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
200_, Borrower shall fully pay down the balance of this Note, so that no amount
of principal or interest and no other obligation under this Note remains
outstanding.

6.   AUTOMATIC PAYMENT.

[_] Borrower has elected to authorize Bank to effect payment of sums due under
this Note by means of debiting Borrower's account number ______________________.
This authorization shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to pay such sums
when due, without notice, if there are insufficient funds in such account to
make such payment in full on the due date thereof, or if Bank fails to debit the
account.

7. WAIVERS, CONSENTS AND COVENANTS. Borrower: (a) waives presentment, demand,
protest, notice of demand, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration of maturity, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of
dishonor, and any other notice required to be given under the law to Borrower in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of
this Note, any indorsement or guaranty of this Note, or any other documents
executed in connection with this Note or any other note or other loan documents
now or hereafter executed in connection with any obligation of Borrower to Bank
(the "Loan Documents"); (b) consents to all delays, extensions, renewals or
other modifications of this Note or the Loan Documents, or waivers of any term
hereof or of the Loan Documents, or release or discharge by Bank of Borrower, or
release, substitution or exchange of any security for the payment hereof, or the
failure to act on the part of Bank, or any indulgence shown by Bank (without
notice to or further assent from Borrower), and agrees that no such action,
failure to act or failure to exercise any right or remedy by Bank shall in any
way affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or be construed as a waiver by
Bank of, or otherwise affect, any of Bank's rights under this Note, under any
indorsement or guaranty of this Note or under any of the Loan Documents; and (c)
agrees to pay, on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses of collection or
defense of this Note or of any indorsement or guaranty hereof and/or the
enforcement or defense of Bank's rights with respect to, or the administration,
supervision, preservation, or protection of, or realization upon, any property
securing payment hereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's
fees, including fees related to any suit, mediation or arbitration proceeding,
out of court payment agreement, trial, appeal, bankruptcy proceedings or other
proceeding, in such amount as may be determined reasonable by any arbitrator or
court, whichever is applicable.

8. PREPAYMENTS. Prepayments may be made in whole or in part at any time on any
loan for which the Rate is based on the Prime Rate. All prepayments of principal
shall be applied in the inverse order of maturity, or in such other order as
Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Except as may be prohibited by
applicable law, no prepayment of any other loan shall be permitted without the
prior written consent of Bank. Notwithstanding such prepayment prohibition, if
there is a prepayment of any such loan, whether by consent of Bank, or because
of acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall, within 15 days of any request by
Bank, pay to Bank, unless prohibited by applicable law, any loss or expense
which Bank may incur or sustain as a result of such prepayment. For the purposes
of calculating the amounts owed only, it shall be assumed that Bank actually
funded or committed to fund the loan through the purchase of an underlying
deposit in an amount and for a term comparable to the loan, and such
determination by Bank shall be conclusive, absent a demonstrable error in
computation.

9. DELINQUENCY CHARGE. To the extent permitted by law, a delinquency charge may
be imposed in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of the unpaid portion of
any payment that is more than fifteen days late. Unless the terms of this Note
call for repayment of the entire balance of this Note (both principal and
interest) in a single payment and not for installments of interest or principal
and interest, the 4% delinquency charge may be imposed not only with respect to
regular installments of principal or interest or principal and interest, but
also with respect to any other payment in default under this Note (other than a
previous delinquency charge), including without limitation, a single payment of
principal due at the maturity of this Note. In the event any installment, or
portion thereof, is not paid in a timely manner, subsequent payments will be
applied first to the past due balance (which shall not include any previous
delinquency charges), specifically to the oldest maturing installment, and a
separate delinquency charge will be imposed for each payment that becomes due
until the default is cured.

10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following are events of default hereunder: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment due hereunder within five days of the date
when due; (b) Borrower fails to perform any other obligation under this Note or
any other Loan Documents, and such failure is not cured within 30 days of notice

and in the case of a proceeding brought against a Loan Party, such proceeding
has not been discharged or dismissed within 60 days of commencement; (e) any
representation, warranty or statement made or furnished to Bank by the Borrower
is false or misleading in any material respect at the time made or furnished and
such default, if capable of being cured, is not cured within 30 days of notice
of such default from Bank to Borrower; (f) a judgment, order or arbitral award
of at least $500,000 is rendered against a Loan Party by a court of competent
jurisdiction, not subject to further appeal, and such judgment, order or award
shall continue unsatisfied and unstayed for more than 30 days of the date
thereof; (g) the occurrence of a material adverse change in financial condition

judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process is not released,
vacated or fully bonded within 60 days after commencement, filing or levy; (ii)
Triarc Companies, Inc. admits the material allegations of a petition against it
in any insolvency proceeding, or an order for relief (or similar order under
non-U.S. law) is ordered in any insolvency proceeding; or (iii) Triarc

conservator, liquidator, mortgagee in possession (or agent therefor), or other
similar person (other than a pledgee) for a substantial portion of his or its

11. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Whenever there is an event of default under this Note
(a) the entire balance outstanding hereunder and all other obligations of the
Borrower to Bank (however acquired or evidenced) shall, at the option of Bank,
become immediately due and payable and any obligation of Bank to permit further
borrowing under this Note shall immediately cease and terminate, and/or (b) to
the extent permitted by law, the Rate of interest on the unpaid principal shall
be increased up to the Prime Rate plus three percent per annum (the "Default
Rate"). The provisions herein for a Default Rate and a delinquency charge shall
not be deemed to extend the time for any payment hereunder or to constitute a
"grace period" giving the Borrower a right to cure any default. At Bank's
option, any accrued and unpaid interest, fees or charges may, for purposes of
computing and accruing interest on a daily basis after the due date of the Note
or any installment thereof, be deemed to be a part of the principal balance, and
interest shall accrue on a daily compounded basis after such date at the Default
Rate provided in this Note until the entire outstanding balance of principal and
interest is paid in full. Upon a default under this Note, Bank is hereby
authorized at any time, at its option and without notice or demand to set off
and charge against any deposit accounts of the Borrower (as well as any money,
instruments, securities, documents, chattel paper, credits, claims, demands,
income and any other property, rights and interests of the Borrower), which at
any time shall come into the possession or custody or under the control of Bank
or any of its agents, affiliates or correspondents, any and all obligations due
hereunder. Additionally, Bank shall have all rights and remedies available under
each of the Loan Documents, as well as all rights and remedies available at law
or in equity.

12. NON-WAIVER. The failure at any time of Bank to exercise any of its options
or any other rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall
it be a bar to the exercise of any of its options or rights at a later date. All
rights and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly,
successively or together, at the option of Bank. The acceptance by Bank of any
partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of any default or of any of Bank's
rights under this Note. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no
modification or amendment of this Note, shall be deemed to be made by Bank
unless

<PAGE>   5
the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of Bank; each such waiver
shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and shall in no
way impair the rights of Bank or the obligations of the Borrower to Bank in any
other respect at any other time.

13. APPLICABLE LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION. This Note and the rights and
obligations of Borrower and Bank shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the law of the State of New York. In any litigation in
connection with or to enforce this Note or any indorsement or guaranty of this
Note or any Loan Documents, the Borrower irrevocably consents to and confers
personal jurisdiction on the courts of the State of New York or the United
States located within the State of New York and expressly waive any objections
as to venue in any such courts. Nothing contained herein shall, however, prevent
Bank from bringing any action or exercising any rights within any other state or
jurisdiction or from obtaining personal jurisdiction by any other means
available under applicable law.

14. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of
this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision
herein and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Note or
of the Loan Documents to any person or circumstance shall not affect the
enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or
circumstances.

15. BINDING EFFECT. This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Borrower and Bank and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives, provided, however, that no obligations of Borrower hereunder
can be assigned without prior written consent of Bank.

16. CONTROLLING DOCUMENT. To the extent that this Note conflicts with or is in
any way incompatible with any other document related specifically to the loan
evidenced by this Note, this Note shall control over any other such document,
and if this Note does not address an issue, then each other such document shall
control to the extent that it deals most specifically with an issue.

17. CONDITIONS TO ALL LOANS. The obligation of the Bank to make any advance
hereunder (including the initial advance) shall be subject to the conditions
precedent that on the date of such advance:

         (a) the following statements shall be true, and the acceptance of the
proceeds of each advance by any Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation

         by Borrower to the Bank are correct in all material respects on and as

                                    (ii) No event has occurred and is
         continuing, or would result from such advance, which constitutes an
         event of default hereunder or would constitute an event of default
         hereunder but for the requirement that notice be given or time elapse
         or both; and

                                    (iii) No material adverse change in the
         financial condition or assets of the Borrower shall have occurred and
         be continuing; and

         (b) the making of such advance shall not contravene any law, rule or
regulation applicable to the Borrower or the Bank.

18. COMMITMENT FEE. In consideration of the commitment of the Bank to make
advances to the Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank a non-refundable commitment fee of $150,000,
payable in full on the date hereof.

19. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. This Note amends and restates in its entirety,
