CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. You agree that you will not at any time during your employment and anytime thereafter, divulge, furnish, or make known or accessible to, or use for the benefit of anyone other than Wendy’s, its subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employee, any information of a confidential nature relating in any way to the business of Wendy’s or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective franchisees, suppliers or distributors. You further agree that you are not subject to any agreement that would restrict you from performing services to Wendy’s and that you will not disclose to Wendy’s or use on its behalf, any confidential information or material that is the property of a former employer or third party.

NONCOMPETE/NONSOLICITATION/EMPLOYEE NO-HIRE. You acknowledge that you will be involved, at the highest level, in the development, implementation, and management of Wendy’s business strategies and plans, including those which involve Wendy’s finances, marketing and other operations, and acquisitions and, as a result, you will have access to Wendy’s most valuable trade secrets and proprietary information. By virtue of your unique and sensitive position, your employment by a competitor of Wendy’s represents a material unfair competitive danger to Wendy’s and the use of your knowledge and information about Wendy’s business, strategies and plans can and would constitute a competitive advantage over Wendy’s. You further acknowledge that the provisions of this section are reasonable and necessary to protect Wendy’s legitimate business interests.

You agree that during your employment with Wendy’s and either (x) in the event you resign or your employment with Wendy’s is terminated “without cause”, for a period of eighteen (18) months following such termination, or (y) in the event your employment with Wendy’s is terminated for cause, for a period of twelve (12) months following such termination:

(i) in any state or territory of the United States (and the District of Columbia) or any country where Wendy’s maintains restaurants, you will not engage or be engaged in any capacity, “directly or indirectly” (as defined below), except as a passive investor owning less than a two percent (2%) interest in a publicly held company, in any business or entity that is competitive with the business of Wendy’s or its affiliates. This restriction includes any business engaged in drive through or food service restaurant business where hamburgers, chicken sandwiches or entree salads are predominant products (15% or more, individually or in the aggregate, of food products not including beverages). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this restriction shall not prohibit you from accepting employment, operating or otherwise becoming associated with a franchisee of Wendy’s, any of its affiliates or any subsidiary of the foregoing, but only in connection with activities associated with the operation of such a franchise or activities that otherwise are not encompassed by the restrictions of this paragraph, subject to any confidentiality obligations contained herein;

(ii) you will not, directly or indirectly, without Wendy’s prior written consent, hire or cause to be hired, solicit or encourage to cease to work with Wendy’s or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, any person who is at the time of such activity, or who was within the six (6) month period preceding such activity, an employee of Wendy’s or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates at the level of director or any more senior level or a consultant under contract with Wendy’s or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and whose primary client is such entity or entities; and

(iii) you will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, encourage or cause any franchisee or supplier of Wendy’s or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to cease doing business with Wendy’s or subsidiary or affiliate, or to reduce the amount of business such franchisee or supplier does with Wendy’s or such subsidiary or affiliate.

For purposes of this section, “directly or indirectly” means in your individual capacity for your own benefit or as a shareholder, lender, partner, member or other principal, officer, director, employee, agent or consultant of or to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, association or any other entity whatsoever; provided, however, that you may own stock in Wendy’s and may operate, directly or indirectly, Wendy’s restaurants as a franchisee without violating sections (i) or (iii).

If any competent authority having jurisdiction over this section determines that any of the provisions is unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such provision, such competent authority shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope, as the case may be, of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable. The obligations in this Addendum are intended to be read consistent with any applicable professional conduct rules and should be interpreted in that manner. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Addendum (and the agreement into which it is incorporated) shall not affect or limit the validity and enforceability of the other provisions hereof. The obligations in this Addendum are intended to be read consistent with any applicable professional conduct rules and should be interpreted in that manner. In the event of your breach of your obligations under the post-employment restrictive covenants, then the post-employment restricted period shall be tolled and extended during the length of such breach, to the extent permitted by law.
