All documents filed under the Exchange Act and so deemed to be included in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto are hereinafter called the “Exchange Act Reports”.

(dd) The historical financial statements (including the related notes and supporting schedules) included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the entities referred to therein, at the dates and for the periods indicated, and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as otherwise stated therein.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Each of the DineEquity Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Free Writing Offering Document, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) in any Blue Sky application or other document prepared or executed by any of the DineEquity Parties (or based upon any written information furnished by any of the DineEquity Parties) specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Notes under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”), or

(C) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of any of the DineEquity Parties in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Notes, including any road show or investor presentations made to investors by any of the DineEquity Parties (whether in person or electronically) and the documents and information listed on Schedule III hereto (all of the foregoing materials described in this clause (C), the “Marketing Materials”), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Free Writing Offering Document, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials, any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Initial Purchaser in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Notes or the offering contemplated hereby, and that is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action or expense arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above, or (iv) the violation of any securities laws (including without limitation the anti-fraud provision thereof) of any foreign jurisdiction in which the Notes are offered; provided, however, that the DineEquity Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that it is determined in a final and unappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises directly and primarily out of or is based directly and primarily upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Co-Issuers by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in such Free Writing Offering Document, Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Disclosure Package, Offering Memorandum, amendment or supplement thereto, Blue Sky Application or Marketing Materials (as the case may be). The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representative consists solely of the Initial Purchaser Information.

Each of the DineEquity Parties hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any website maintained in compliance with Rule 17g-5 under the Exchange Act by or on behalf of any DineEquity Party in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Notes or (ii) the entering into and performance of this Agreement and any other Related Document by any of the Initial Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

Each of the DineEquity Parties agrees that it shall, jointly and severally, reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Initial Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages for which indemnity is being provided pursuant to this Section 8(a) as such expenses are incurred.

The foregoing indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the DineEquity Parties may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this

Agreement.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless each DineEquity Party, each of the officers, directors and employees of each DineEquity Party, and each other person, if any, who controls such DineEquity Party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in any Free Writing Offering Document, Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) in any Blue Sky Application, or (C) in any Marketing Materials, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Free Writing Offering Document, Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Co-Issuers by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in such Free Writing Offering Document, Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Pricing Disclosure Package, Offering Memorandum, amendment or supplement thereto, Blue Sky Application or Marketing Materials (as the case may be, which information is limited to the Initial Purchaser Information; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the discount applicable to the Notes to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

The foregoing indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of any claims or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 to the extent that it is not materially prejudiced due to the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses as a result thereof or otherwise has notice of any such action, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that such indemnifying party may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement hereunder). In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the

extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, (iv) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties or (v) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both Initial Purchaser Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and any of the DineEquity Parties, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would present a conflict due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in any of which events (i) through (v) such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties (and the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an indemnified party under this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

(d) In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) through (c) is for any reason held to be unavailable from any indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the DineEquity Parties and the Initial Purchasers shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses suffered by the DineEquity Parties, any contribution received by the DineEquity Parties from persons, other than the Initial Purchasers, who may also be liable for contribution, including their directors, officers, employees and persons who control the DineEquity Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as incurred to which the DineEquity Parties and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the DineEquity Parties and the Initial Purchasers from the offering and sale of the Notes under this Agreement or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the DineEquity Parties and the Initial Purchasers in

connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the DineEquity Parties and the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering and sale of the Notes under this Agreement (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the DineEquity Parties or their affiliates under this Agreement, on the one hand, and the discounts or commissions received by the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the aggregate offering price to investors of the Notes purchased under this Agreement, as set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault of each of the DineEquity Parties (on the one hand) and of the Initial Purchasers (on the other hand) shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the DineEquity Parties or their affiliates or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The DineEquity Parties and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(d). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), (i) no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions applicable to the Notes resold by it to Eligible Purchasers under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8(d), (A) each of the Initial Purchaser Indemnified Parties other than the Initial Purchasers shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and (B) each director, officer or employee of the DineEquity Parties and each person, if any, who controls the Dine Equity Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the DineEquity Parties, subject in each case of (A) and (B) to clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 8(d) or otherwise. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased by each of the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement and not joint. The obligations of the DineEquity Parties to

contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) shall be joint and several.

(e) The Initial Purchasers severally confirm and the DineEquity Parties acknowledge and agree that the statements with respect to the offering of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers set forth in the third to last paragraph (relating to overallotment, stabilization and similar activities) of the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum and (ii) the names of the Initial Purchasers set forth on the front and back cover page of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum constitute the only information concerning such Initial Purchasers furnished in writing to the DineEquity Parties by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials.

9. Defaulting Initial Purchasers.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in its obligations to purchase the Notes that it has agreed to purchase under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Notes by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other persons satisfactory to the Co-Issuers on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then the Co-Issuers shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Notes on such terms. In the event that within the respective prescribed periods, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers notify the Co-Issuers that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, or the Co-Issuers notifies the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Co-Issuers may postpone the Closing Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Co-Issuers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Co-Issuers agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Notes that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Co-Issuers as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, then the Co-Issuers shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Notes that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Notes of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; provided that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase more than

110% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes that they agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of Section 3.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Co-Issuers as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, or if the Co-Issuers shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Co-Issuers, the Parent Companies, the Manager or the Guarantors, except that the Co-Issuers, the Parent Companies, the Manager and the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Sections 6 and 12 except with respect to the defaulting Initial Purchaser and except that the provisions of Section 8 shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the DineEquity Parties or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

10. Termination. The Representatives shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date, if, at or after the Applicable Time, any of the following shall occur, which remains outstanding or the effects of which remain outstanding: (i) any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Representative will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market for the Company’s securities or securities in general; or (ii) trading on the NYSE or NASDAQ shall have been suspended or been made subject to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on the NYSE or NASDAQ or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (iii) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (iv) (A) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (B) there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (A) or (B), in the judgment of the Representative, is sufficiently material and adverse so as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Notes, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Offering Memorandum; or (v) any of the events described in Sections 7(r) or 7(t) shall have occurred or the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement. Any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be in writing.

11. Non-Assignability. None of the DineEquity Parties may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Initial Purchasers may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to substitute any one of its affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder (“Substituting Initial Purchaser”), by a written notice to the Co-Issuers, which notice shall be

signed by both the Substituting Initial Purchaser and such affiliate, shall contain such affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 3. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word “Initial Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 11), such word shall be deemed to refer to such affiliate in lieu of the Substituting Initial Purchaser. In the event that such affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such affiliate thereafter transfers back to the Substituting Initial Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such affiliate, upon receipt by the Co-Issuers of notice of such transfer, wherever the word “Initial Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than this Section 11), such word shall no longer be deemed to refer to such affiliate, but shall refer to the Substituting Initial Purchaser, and the Substituting Initial Purchaser shall have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

12. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If (a) the Co-Issuers for any reason fail to tender the Notes for delivery to the Initial Purchasers, or (b) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement, Co-Issuers, the Parent Companies, the Manager and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers) incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Notes, and upon demand DineEquity Parties shall pay the full amount thereof to the Initial Purchasers. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 by reason of the default of one or more Initial Purchasers, the DineEquity Parties shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Initial Purchaser on account of those expenses.

13. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

DineEquity, Inc. Prices $1.4 Billion Securitized Financing Facility

GLENDALE, Calif., August 13, 2014 -- DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar® and IHOP® restaurants, today announced that it has entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) under which two of the Company’s indirect, special purpose subsidiaries (the “Co-Issuers”) have agreed to issue and sell $1.3 billion of their Series 2014-1, Class A-2 Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes will be bear interest at a rate of 4.277% per annum, payable quarterly, and will have an expected term of seven years. The Notes are expected to be issued by the Co-Issuers in a privately placed securitized transaction. The Co-Issuers will own substantially all of the Applebee’s and IHOP domestic franchising, rental and financing assets and will use cash flows generated from these assets to make interest and principal payments on the Notes. The Co-Issuers also intend to enter into a purchase agreement under which they will issue $100 million Series 2014-1 Class A-1 Notes which will allow the Co-Issuers to borrow amounts from time to time on a revolving basis.

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the expected sale of the Notes to refinance approximately $761 million in outstanding principal amount of its 9.5% senior notes and to pay down the entire outstanding balance of approximately $464 million of its 3.75% senior secured credit facility. The remaining proceeds will primarily be used for transaction costs associated with the refinancing and general corporate purposes.

The closing of the sale of the Notes is expected on September 30, 2014, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other security. The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
