Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
            Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
            Certain Officers.


     On April 28, 2006,  Triarc Companies,  Inc. (the "Company")  entered into a
letter  agreement  (the  "Agreement")  with Francis T.  McCarron,  the Company's
Executive  Vice  President and Chief  Financial  Officer,  pursuant to which Mr.
McCarron  will  be  entitled  to  receive  certain  benefits  in the  event  Mr.
McCarron's  employment is terminated by the Company  without  "cause," or by Mr.
McCarron  for certain  specified  reasons  (including  for "good  reason"  which
includes a "change of  control,"  as such terms are  defined in the  Agreement).
Under the Agreement,  in the event that any benefit paid to Mr. McCarron becomes
subject to excise tax imposed under  Section 4999 of the Code,  the Company will
indemnify Mr.  McCarron for up to $1,000,000 of excise tax so that Mr.  McCarron
will be in the same  after-tax  position as if such amount of excise tax had not
been imposed.  On January 29, 2007,  the Company and Mr.  McCarron  entered into
Amendment  No. 1 to Letter  Agreement  (the  "Amendment")  pursuant to which the
amount of the foregoing indemnity was increased to $1,500,000.

     The foregoing  description  of the  Agreement  and the  Amendment  does not
purport to be complete  and is  qualified  in its  entirety by  reference to the
Agreement,  a copy of which  has been  filed as  Exhibit  10.1 to the  Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 2, 2006,  and to the  Amendment,  a copy of
which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
