ARTICLE I

Foreword
The Yum! Brands Pension Equalization Plan ("PEP" or "Plan") has been adopted by Yum! Brands, Inc. (“Yum!”) for the benefit of salaried employees of the Yum! Brands Organization who participate in the Yum! Brands Retirement Program for Salaried Employees ("Salaried Plan").  PEP provides benefits for eligible employees whose pension benefits under the Salaried Plan are limited by the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  In addition, PEP provides benefits for certain eligible employees based on the pre-1989 Salaried Plan formula.
The Plan was first effective on October 7, 1997, in connection with the spinoff of Yum! Brands (then known as Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc.) from PepsiCo, Inc.  This Plan is a successor plan to the PepsiCo Pension Equalization Plan.  This document is effective as of January 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), and it generally retains without modification the provisions of the prior restatement.  However, it has been clarified in various respects to reflect that it sets forth the terms of the Plan applicable to benefits that are grandfathered under Section 409A of the Code because they were both earned and vested on or before December 31, 2004 (the “Pre-409A Program”).  All benefits under the Plan that are earned or vested after December 31, 2004, shall be governed by the document for the Section 409A Program (the “409A Program”).  In addition, beginning March 1, 2010, as a result of a plan amendment and related written participant communications (as specified in the communications and then generally as of January 1, 2011), all benefits that were earned and vested as of December 31, 2004 ceased to be administered as though subject to the terms of the Pre-409A Program and began to be administered as though subject to the terms of the 409A Program, except with respect to the following two groups (who may be referred to as the “Continuing Grandfathered Participants”): (i) Participants whose employment with the Yum! Brands Organization terminated on or before December 31, 2004, and whose rights to a Pension are based solely on the legally binding rights that they had on (or before) December 31, 2004 and that were not

 
1

 

materially modified after October 3, 2004 (“Pre-2005 Participants”), and (ii) other Participants who have an Annuity Starting Date under either the 409A Program or the Pre-409A Program that occurred before March 1, 2010 (subject in both cases to Section 4.10 regarding rehired participants).
Together, this document and the document for the 409A Program describe the terms of a single plan, and this document has been modified to clarify (without any material modification) the integration of the Pre-409A Program with the 409A Program.  However, amounts that continued to be administered as subject to the terms of the Pre-409A Program and amounts administered as subject to the terms of the 409A Program shall be tracked separately at all times.  The preservation of the terms of the Pre-409A Program, without material modification, and the separation between the Pre-409A Program amounts and the 409A Program amounts are intended to be sufficient to permit the Pre-409A Program to remain exempt from Section 409A as a program for grandfathered benefits (to the extent described above).

(b)  Actuarial Equivalent:  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in the Plan or any Appendix to the Plan with respect to a specific benefit determination, a benefit of equivalent value computed on the basis of the factors set forth below.  The application of the following assumptions to the computation of benefits payable under the Plan shall be done in a uniform and consistent manner.  In the event the Plan is amended to provide new rights, features or benefits, the following actuarial factors shall not apply to these new elements unless specifically adopted by the amendment.
 
(1)  Annuities and Inflation Protection:  To determine the amount of a Pension payable in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or optional form of survivor annuity, or as an annuity with inflation protection, the factors applicable for such purposes under the Salaried Plan shall apply.  However, in determining a Pre-409A Pension, no change occurring on or after the Effective Date in the basis for determining the amount of an annuity form of payment from that in effect as of

 
4

 

December 31, 2004, shall be taken into account to the extent it would result in a larger annuity (but this sentence shall not apply for purposes of Section 5.1(b)(3), relating to the “Limit on the Pre-409A Pension Benefit”).

(3)  Other Cases:  To determine the adjustment to be made in the Pension payable to or on behalf of a Participant in other cases, the factors are those applicable for such purpose under the Salaried Plan.  However, in determining a Pre-409A Pension, no change occurring on or after the Effective Date in such factors from those in effect as of December 31, 2004, shall be taken into account to the extent that it would result in a larger pension (but this last sentence shall not apply for purposes of Section 5.1(b)(3), relating to the “Limit on the Pre-409A Pension Benefit”).

(i)  That the Participant's social security wages in any year prior to Retirement or severance are equal to the Taxable Wage Base in such year, and

However, in computing a Vested Pension under Formula A of Section 5.2, the estimate of the old-age insurance benefit to which a Participant would be entitled at age 65 shall be based upon the assumption that he continued to receive social security wages until age 65 at the same rate as the Taxable Wage Base in effect at his severance from employment.  For purposes of this subsection, "social security wages" shall mean wages within the meaning of the Social Security Act.
 
(2)  For purposes of determining the amount of a Disability Pension, the Primary Social Security Amount shall be (except as provided in the next sentence) the initial monthly amount actually received by the disabled Participant as a disabil­ity insurance benefit under the provisions of Title II of the Social Security Act, as amended and in effect at the time of the Participant's retirement due to disability.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, for any period that a Participant receives a Disability Pension before receiv­ing a disability insurance benefit under the pro­visions of Title II of the Social Security Act, then the Participant's Primary Social Security Amount for such period shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (1) above.
 
(3)  For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2), the Primary Social Security Amount shall exclude amounts that may be available because of the spouse or any dependent of the Participant or any amounts payable on account of the Participant's death.  Estimates of Primary Social Security Amounts shall be made on the basis of the

(d) Subdivisions of the Plan Document:  This Plan document is divided and subdivided using the following progression:  articles, sections, subsections, paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses.  Articles are designated by capital roman numerals.  Sections are designated by Arabic numerals containing a decimal point.  Subsections are designated by lower-case letters in parentheses.  Paragraphs are designated by Arabic numerals in parentheses.  Subparagraphs are designated by lower-case roman numerals in parentheses.  Clauses are designated by upper-case letters in parentheses.  Subclauses are designated by upper-

19

 


 
(b)  Distribution of Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension Benefit:  If on the Eligible Spouse’s applicable benefit commencement date the Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value of the PEP Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension to be paid is equal to or less than $15,500 ($10,000 in the case of a of Pre-2005 Participant), the Plan Administrator shall distribute to the Eligible Spouse such lump sum value of the PEP Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension.  The portion of such lump sum that represents the Eligible Spouse’s Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pre-409A Pension shall be paid pursuant to the terms of this Pre-409A Program.  The applicable benefit commencement date shall be the commencement date of any Pre-Retirement Spouse’s 409A Pension to which the Eligible Spouse is entitled or, in the event the Eligible Spouse is not entitled to a Pre-Retirement Spouse’s 409A Pension, the first of the month following the Participant’s death (however, if the lump sum value as of that date is too great to make the distribution, but the lump sum value is not too great as of the date that would be the Eligible Spouse’s benefit commencement date under the terms of this Pre-409A Program, such benefit commencement date shall be the applicable commencement date).

ARTICLE V

Amount of Retirement Pension


When a Pension becomes payable to or on behalf of a Post-2004 Participant under this Plan, the amount of such Pre-409A Pension shall be determined under Section 5.1 or 5.3 (whichever is applicable), subject to any adjustments required under Sections 4.6(b), 5.4 and 5.5.  In the case of a Pre-2005 Participant, the amount of such Participant’s Pre-409A Pension (or Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pre-409A Pension payable on his behalf) shall be determined as provided in Article C of the Appendix.
5.1  Pre-409A Pension:
 
(a)  Calculating the Pre-409A Pension:  In the case of a Post-2004 Participant, such Participant’s Pre-409A Pension shall be calculated as follows (on the basis of specified in subsection (b) below and using the definitions appearing in subsection (c) below):
 
(1)  His Total Pension, reduced by
 
(2)  His Salaried Plan Pension.
 
(b)  Basis for Determining:  The Pre-409A Pension Benefit amount in subsection (a) above shall be the amount determined on the basis set forth in paragraph (1) below, subject to the limitation specified in paragraph (3) below:
 
(1)  The Pre-409A Pension Benefit amount under this paragraph shall be determined initially as a present value of the Participant’s benefit under subsection (a) as of December 31, 2004 (determined as if the Participant voluntarily terminated employment on that date without cause, received a payment on the earliest possible commencement date (“Earliest Date”) thereafter, and such payment was in the form with the maximum value available to the Participant in connection with a termination at such time, using the Actuarial Equivalent lump sum factors in effect on such date (“2004 Lump Sum Factors”) to determine the present value.  Such present value amount shall

 
21

 

then be increased, if the Participant had not yet attained the Participant’s Earliest Date as of December 31, 2004, for both interest and survivorship through such Earliest Date, using the 2004 Lump Sum Factors.
 
(2)  Notwithstanding paragraph (1) above, a Participant’s Pre-409A Pension Benefit amount shall never exceed the Participant’s Total Pension reduced by his Salaried Plan Pension, with each calculated as of the actual Annuity Starting Date of the Participant’s Pre-409A Pension.  For purposes of this paragraph (2), the provisions of Article IV that freeze the Participant’s status as of December 31, 2004 (or consider only the Participant’s status on such date), and the provisions of this document that bar taking into account Plan changes that are effective after December 31, 2004, shall not be taken into account.
 
(c)  Definitions:  The following definitions apply for purposes of this section.
 
(1)  A Participant's "Total Pension" means the greater of the following amounts:
 
(i)  The amount of the Participant's pension determined under the terms of the Salaried Plan, but without regard to:  (A) the limitations imposed by sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code (as such limitations are interpreted and applied under the Salaried Plan), and (B) the actuarial adjustment under Section 5.5(d) of the Salaried Plan (relating to benefits that are deferred beyond the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date); or
 
(ii)  The amount (if any) of the Participant's PEP Guarantee determined under Section 5.2.
 
For purposes of subsection (b)(1), the determination in clause (i) and (ii) above shall be made as of December 31, 2004, and (except to the extent the provisions of the Plan specifically authorize taking into account subsequent changes) shall be made on the basis

 
22

 

of the terms of the Salaried Plan without taking into account changes as of December 31, 2004.
 
(2)  A Participant's "Salaried Plan Pension" means the amount of the Participant's pension determined under the terms of the Salaried Plan.  For purposes of subsection (b)(1), the determination in clause (i) and (ii) above shall be made as of December 31, 2004, and (except to the extent the provisions of the Plan specifically authorize taking into account subsequent changes) shall be made on the basis of the terms of the Salaried Plan without taking into account changes as of December 31, 2004.
5.2  PEP Guarantee:  A Post-2004 Participant who is eligible under subsection (a) below shall be entitled to a PEP Guarantee benefit determined under subsection (b) below.  In the case of Participants who are not eligible under subsection (a), the PEP Guarantee shall not apply.
 
(a)  Eligibility:  A Participant shall be covered by this section if the Participant has 1988 pensionable earnings from an Employer of at least $75,000.  For purposes of this section, "1988 pensionable earnings" means the Participant's remuneration for the 1988 calendar year, which was recognized for benefit received under the Salaried Plan as in effect in 1988.  "1988 pensionable earnings" does not include remuneration from an entity attributable to any period when that entity was not an Employer.
 
(b)  PEP Guarantee Formula:  The amount of a Participant's PEP Guarantee shall be determined under the applicable formula in paragraph (1), subject to the special rules in paragraph (2).
 
(1)  Formulas:  The amount of a Participant's Pension under this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with subparagraph (i) below.  However, if the Participant was actively employed by the Yum! Brands Organization in a classification eligible for the Salaried Plan prior to July 1, 1975, the amount of his Pension under this paragraph shall be the greater of the amounts determined under

 
23

 

subparagraphs (i) and (ii), provided that subparagraph (ii)(B) shall not apply in determining the amount of a Vested Pension.
 
(i)  Formula A:  The Pension amount under this subparagraph shall be:
 
(A)  3 percent of the Participant's Highest Average Monthly Earnings for the first 10 years of Credited Service, plus
 
(B)  1 percent of the Participant's Highest Average Monthly Earnings for each year of Credited Service in excess of 10 years, less
 
(C)  1-2/3 percent of the Participant's Primary Social Security Amount multiplied by years of Credited Service not in excess of 30 years.
 
In determining the amount of a Vested Pension under this Formula A, the Pension shall first be calculated on the basis of (I) the Credited Service the Participant would have earned had he remained in the employ of the Employer until his Normal Retirement Age, and (II) his Highest Average Monthly Earnings and Primary Social Security Amount at his Severance from Service Date, and then shall be reduced by multiplying the resulting amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant's actual years of Credited Service on his Severance from Service Date (or December 31, 2004, if earlier) and the denominator of which is the years of Credited Service he would have earned had he remained in the employ of an Employer until his Normal Retirement Age.

 
24

 
 
 
 
 
 
(ii)  Formula B:  The Pension amount under this subparagraph shall be the greater of (A) or (B) below:
 
(A) 1-1/2 percent of Highest Average Monthly Earnings times the number of years of Credited Service, less 50 percent of the Participant's Primary Social Security Amount, or
(B) 3 percent of Highest Average Monthly Earnings times the number of years of Credited Service up to 15 years, less 50 percent of the Participant's Primary Social Security Amount.
 
In determining the amount of a Disability Pension under Formula A or B above, the Pension shall be calculated on the basis of the Participant's Credited Service (determined in accordance with Section 3.3(d)(3) of the Salaried Plan, as in effect on December 31, 2004), and his Highest Average Monthly Earnings and Primary Social Security Amount at the date of disability (or as of such earlier date as may apply under Section 5.1(b)).
 
(2)  Calculation:  The amount of the PEP Guarantee shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (1) above, subject to the following special rules:
 
(i)  Surviving Eligible Spouse's  Annuity:  Subject to subparagraph (iii) below and the last sentence of this subparagraph, if the Participant has an Eligible Spouse and has commenced receipt of an Annuity under this section, the Participant's Eligible Spouse shall be entitled to receive a survivor annuity equal to 50 percent of the Participant's Annuity under this section, with no corresponding reduction in such Annuity for the Participant.  Annuity payments to a surviving Eligible Spouse shall begin on the first day of the month coincident with or following the Participant's death and shall end

 
25

 
    with the last monthly payment due prior to the Eligible Spouse's death.  If the Eligible Spouse is more than 10 years younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable under this subparagraph shall be adjusted as provided below.
 
(A)  For each full year more than 10 but less than 21 that the surviving Eligible Spouse is younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by 0.8 percent.
 
(B)  For each full year more than 20 that the surviving Eligible Spouse is younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by an additional 0.4 percent.
 
(ii)  Reductions:  The following reductions shall apply in determining a Participant's PEP Guarantee.
 
(A)  If the Participant will receive an Early Retirement Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced by 3/12ths of 1 percent for each month by which the benefit commencement date precedes the date the Participant would attain his Normal Retirement Date.
 
(B)  If the Participant is entitled to a Vested Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced to the Actuarial Equivalent of the amount payable at his Normal Retirement Date (if payment commences before such date), and the Section 4.6(b) reductions for any Pre-Retirement Spouse's coverage shall apply.
 
(C)  This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides an Eligible Spouse benefit, continuing for the life of the surviving spouse, that is greater than that provided under subparagraph (i).  In this instance, the Participant's Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable

 
26

 

on the Participant's behalf is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension otherwise payable under the foregoing provisions of this section.
 
(D)  This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides a survivor annuity for a beneficiary who is not his Eligible Spouse.  In this instance, the Participant's Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Participant's behalf is the Actuarial Equivalent of a Single Life Annuity for the Participant's life.
 
(E)  This clause applies if the Participant will receive his Pension in a Annuity form that includes inflation protection described in Section 6.2(b).  In this instance, the Participant's Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Participant's behalf is the Actuarial Equivalent of the elected Annuity without such protection.
 
(iii)  Lump Sum Conversion:  The amount of the Retirement Pension determined under this section for a Participant whose Retirement Pension will be distributed in the form of a lump sum shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's PEP Guarantee determined under this section, taking into account the value of any survivor benefit under subparagraph (i) above and any early retirement reductions under subparagraph (ii)(A) above.
5.3  Amount of Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pre-409A Pension:  The  monthly amount of the Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pre-409A Pension payable to a surviving Eligible Spouse of a Post-2004 Participant under Section 4.6 shall be determined under subsection (a) below.
 
(a)  Calculation:  An Eligible Spouse's Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pre-409A Pension shall equal:

 
27

 


 
(1)  The Eligible Spouse's Total Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension, minus
 
(2)  The Eligible Spouse's Salaried Plan Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension.
 
(b)  Definitions:  The following definitions apply for purposes of this section.
 
(1)  An Eligible Spouse's "Total Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension" means the greater of:
 
(i)  The amount of the Eligible Spouse's pre-retirement spouse's pension determined under the principles and limitation of Section 5.1(b) and under the terms of the Salaried Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004, but without regard to:  (A) the limitations imposed by sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code (as such limitations are interpreted and applied under the Salaried Plan), and (B) the actuarial adjustment under Section 5.5(d) of the Salaried Plan (relating to benefits that are deferred beyond the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date); or
 
(ii)  The amount (if any) of the Eligible Spouse's PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension determined under the principles and limitations of Section 5.1(b) and under subsection (c).
 
In making this comparison, the benefits in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be calculated with reference to the specific time of payment applicable to the Eligible Spouse.
 
(2)  An “Eligible Spouse’s Salaried Plan Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension” means the Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension that would be payable to the Eligible Spouse under the principles and limitations of Section 5.1(b) under the terms of the Salaried Plan as in effect on December 31, 2004 (except as otherwise applicable under Section 5.1(b)).

 
28

 


 
(c)  PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension:  An Eligible Spouse's PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) below, whichever is applicable, with reference to the PEP Guarantee (if any) that would have been available to the Participant under Section 5.2.
 
(1)  Normal Rule:  The Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension payable under this paragraph shall be equal to the amount that would be payable as a survivor annuity, under a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, if the Participant had:
 
(i)  Separated from service on the earliest of the date of death or his actual Severance from Service Date);
 
(ii)  Commenced a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity on the same date payments of the Qualified Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension are to commence; and
 
(iii)  Died on the day immediately following such commencement.
 
If payment of a Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension under this paragraph commences or is deemed to commence prior to the date which would have been the Participant's Normal Retirement Date, appropriate reductions for early commencement shall be applied to the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity upon which the Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension is based.
 
(2)  Special Rule for Active and Disabled Employees:  Notwithstanding paragraph (1) above, the Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension paid on behalf of a Participant described in Section 4.6(a) shall not be less than an amount equal to 25 percent of such Participant's PEP Guarantee (if any) determined under Section 5.2 in accordance with the principles and limitations of Section 5.1(b).  For this purpose, Credited Service shall be determined as provided in Section 3.3(d)(2) of the Salaried Plan, and the deceased

 
29

 

Participant's Highest Average Monthly Earnings, Primary Social Security Amount and Covered Compensation shall be determined as of his date of death.  A Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension under this paragraph is not reduced for early commencement.
5.4  Certain Adjustments:  Pensions determined under the foregoing sections of this Article are subject to adjustment as provided in this section.  For purposes of this section, "specified plan" shall mean the Salaried Plan or a nonqualified pension plan similar to this Plan.  A nonqualified pension plan is similar to this Plan if it is sponsored by a member of the Yum! Brands Organization and if its benefits are not based on participant pay deferrals (this category of similar plans includes the PepsiCo Pension Equalization Plan).
 
(a)  Adjustments for Rehired Participants:  This subsection shall apply to a current or former Participant who is reemployed after his Annuity Starting Date and whose benefit under the Salaried Plan is recalculated based on an additional period of Credited Service.  In the event of any such recalculation, the Participant's PEP Pension shall also be recalculated hereunder.  For this purpose, the PEP Guarantee under Section 5.2 is adjusted for in-service distributions and prior distributions in the same manner as benefits are adjusted under the Salaried Plan, but by taking into account benefits under this Plan and any specified plans.
                                (b)  Adjustment for Increased Pension Under Other Plans:  If the benefit paid under a specified plan on behalf of a Participant is increased after PEP benefits on his behalf have been determined (whether the increase is by order of a court, by agreement of the plan administrator of the specified plan, or otherwise), the PEP benefit for the Participant shall be recalculated.  If the recalculation identifies an overpayment hereunder, the Plan Administrator shall take such steps as it deems advisable to recover the  overpayment.  It is specifically intended that there shall be no duplication of payments under this Plan and any specified plans.

 
30

 


5.5  Excludable Employment:  Effective for periods of employment on or after June 30, 1997, an executive classified as level 22or above (or the equivalent) whose employment by an Employer is for a limited duration assignment shall not become entitled to a benefit or to any increase in benefits in connection with such employment.  In addition, in the case of agreements entered into after January 1, 2009, an executive who has signed a written agreement with the Company pursuant to which the individual either (i) waives eligibility under the Plan (even if the individual otherwise meets the definition of Employee under the Plan), or (ii) agrees not to Participate in the Plan, shall not thereafter become entitled to a benefit or to any increase in connection with such employment (whichever applies).  Written agreements may be entered into either before or after the executive becomes eligible for or begins participation in the Plan, and such written agreements may take any form that is deemed effective by the Company.  All written agreements under this Section 5.5 shall be irrevocable by the individual once executed.

ARTICLE VI

Distribution Options

The terms of this Article govern (i) the distribution of benefits to a Participant who becomes entitled to a Pre-409A Pension, and (ii) the continuation of benefits (if any) to such Participant’s beneficiary following the Participant’s death.  Other than as set forth in section 4.9 (cashout distributions), a Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension derived from the Pre-409A Program shall be payable as an annuity for the life of the Eligible Spouse (except as provided Article VI of the Salaried Plan).  The distribution of a 409A Pension is governed by the terms of the 409A Program.
6.1  Form and Timing of Distributions On and After January 1, 2009:  This Section shall govern the form and timing of distributions of Pre-409A Pensions that begin on or after January 1, 2009.  Plan distributions that begin before that date shall be governed by the terms of Section 6.2 below.  The provisions of this Section 6.1 are in all cases subject to the cashout rules set forth in Section 4.9.
(a)  Pre-409A Retirement Pension:  A Participant’s Pre-409A Retirement Pension shall be distributed as follows:
(1)  Generally:  A Participant’s Pre-409A Retirement Pension shall be distributed as a Single Lump Sum on the first day of the month that is coincident with or next follows the Participant’s Retirement Date, subject to paragraph (2).
(2)  Prior Payment Election:  Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if a Participant who is entitled to a Pre-409A Retirement Pension made an election on or before December 31, 2008, to receive his Pre-409A Pension in a different form or at a different time (or both) than the form and time of payment provided under paragraph (1) above, such payment election shall be honored if it was made at least six months and in a calendar year prior to the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date.  If a Participant who made such a payment election is entitled only to a Pre-409A Vested Pension, such payment

 
32

 

election shall be disregarded, and the Participant’s Pre-409A Vested Pension shall be paid in accordance with subsection (b) below.  Subject to Section 4.9 (cashouts), a Participant who has validly elected to receive an Annuity shall receive his benefit as a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if he is married or as a Single Life Annuity if he is unmarried, unless he elects one of the optional forms of payment described in Section 6.3 in accordance with the election procedures in Section 6.4(a).  A Participant shall be considered married if he is married on his Annuity Starting Date.  To the extent a Participant’s benefit commences later than it would under paragraph (1) above as a result of an election under this paragraph (2), the Participant’s benefit will be paid with interest equal to the rate selected from time to time by the Plan Administrator for this purpose, and such interest amount shall be paid as a single lump sum at the time elected by the Participant under this paragraph (and the interest amount shall be subject to Section 409A without materially modifying the Participant’s grandfathered Pre-409A Retirement Pension).
(b)  Pre-409A Vested Pension:  If a Participant is entitled to a Pre-409A Vested Pension, his benefit shall be paid in the same form and at the same time as his Pension under the Salaried Plan.  The preceding sentence shall apply even in cases where a Participant is entitled to a form of payment under the Salaried Plan that is not available to the Participant under the Pre-409A Program (e.g., because the Participant is eligible for a Retirement Pension under the Salaried Plan but only a Vested Pension under the Pre-409A Program based on the terms of the Salaried Plan in effect on December 31, 2004).
6.2  Form and Timing of Distributions Prior to January 1, 2009:  This section shall govern the form and timing of distributions of Pre-409A Pensions that begin on or after March 1, 1992, and prior to January 1, 2009.  Plan distributions that begin on or after January 1, 2009, shall be governed by Section 6.1 above.  Plan distributions that begin before March 1, 1992, shall be governed by the terms

of the Prior Plan as in effect at the time of distribution.  The provisions of this Section 6.2 are in all cases subject to the cashout rules set forth in Section 4.9.
 
(a)  No Advance Election:  This subsection shall apply to a Participant: (i) who does not have an Advance Election in effect as of the close of business on the day before his Retirement Date, or (ii) who terminates employment prior to Retirement.  Subject to the next sentence, a Participant described in this subsection shall be paid his Pre-409A Pension in the same form and at the same time as he is paid his Pension under the Salaried Plan.  If a Participant's Salaried Plan Annuity Starting Date occurs while he is still an employee of the Yum! Brands Organization (because of the time of payment provisions in Code section 401(a)(9)), payment under the Plan shall not begin until the first of the month next following the Participant's Severance from Service Date.  In this instance, the form of payment under Pre-409A Program shall remain that which is applicable under the Salaried Plan.
 
(b)  Advance Election in Effect:  This subsection shall apply to a Participant:  (i) who has an Advance Election in effect as of the close of business on the day before his Retirement Date, and (ii) whose Retirement Date is after 1993 and before 2009.  To be in effect, an Advance Election must meet the advance receipt and other requirements of Section 6.4(b).
 
(1)  Lump Sum Election:  If a Participant covered by this subsection has an Advance Election to receive a Single Lump Sum in effect as of the close of business on the day before his Retirement Date, the Participant's Pre-409A Retirement Pension under the Plan shall be paid as a Single Lump Sum as of the first of the month coincident with or next following his Retirement Date.
 
(2)  Annuity Election:  If a Participant covered by this subsection has an Advance Election to receive an Annuity in effect as of the close of business on the day before his Retirement Date, the Participant's Pre-409A Retirement Pension under the Plan shall be paid in an Annuity beginning on the first of the month coincident with or next

 
34

 

following his Retirement Date.  The following provisions of this paragraph govern the form of Annuity payable in the case of a Participant described in this paragraph.
 
(i)  Salaried Plan Election:  A Participant who has a qualifying Salaried Plan election shall receive his distribution in the same form of Annuity the Participant selected in such qualifying Salaried Plan election.  For this purpose, a "qualifying Salaried Plan election" is a written election of a form of payment by the Participant that: (A) is currently in effect under the Salaried Plan as of the close of business on the day before the Participant's Retirement Date, and (B) specifies an Annuity as the form of payment for all or part of the Participant's Retirement Pension under the Salaried Plan.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Participant who elects a combination lump sum and Annuity under the Salaried Plan is considered to have specified an Annuity for part of his Salaried Plan Pension.
 
(ii)  PEP Election:  A Participant who is not covered by subparagraph (i) and who has a PEP Election in effect as of the close of business on the day before his Retirement Date shall receive his distribution in the form of Annuity the Participant selects in such PEP Election.
 
(iii)  No PEP Election:  A Participant who is not covered by subparagraph (i) or (ii) above shall receive his distribution in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if he is married, or in the form of a Single Life Annuity if he is not married.  For purposes of this subparagraph (iii), a Participant shall be considered married if he is married on the day before his Retirement Date.

 
35

 


6.3  Available Forms of Payment:  The forms of payment set forth in subsections (a) and (b) may be provided to any Participant who is entitled to a Pre-409A Retirement Pension and to whom either Section 6.1(a)(2) or 6.2(b) applies.  The forms of payment for other Participants are set forth in subsection (c) below.  The provisions of this section are effective for Annuity Starting Dates after 1989 and earlier distributions shall be governed by terms of the Prior Plan as in effect at the time of distribution.
 
(a)  Basic Forms of Payment:  A Participant's Pre-409A Retirement Pension shall be distributed in one of the forms of payment listed in this subsection.  The particular form of payment applicable to a Participant shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.1 or 6.2, as applicable.  Payments shall commence on the date specified in Section 6.1 or 6.2 and shall end on the date specified in this subsection.
 
(1)  Single Life Annuity Option:  A Participant may receive his Pre-409A Pension in the form of a Single Life Annuity, which provides monthly payments ending with the last payment due prior to his death.
 
(2)  Survivor Options:  A Participant may receive his Pre-409A Pension in accordance with one of the following survivor options:
 
(i)  100 Percent Survivor Option:  The Participant shall receive a reduced Pre-409A Pension payable for life, ending with the last monthly payment due prior to his death.  Payments in the same reduced amount shall continue after the Participant's death to his beneficiary for life, beginning on the first day of the month coincident with or following the Participant's death and ending with the last monthly payment due prior to the beneficiary's death.
 
(ii)  75 Percent Survivor Option:  The Participant shall receive a reduced Pre-409A Pension payable for life, ending with the last monthly

 
36

 

payment due prior to his death.  Payments in the amount of 75 percent of such reduced Pre-409A Pension shall be continued after the Participant's death to his beneficiary for life, beginning on the first day of the month coincident with or following the Participant's death and ending with the last monthly payment due prior to the beneficiary's death.
 
(iii)  50 Percent Survivor Option:  The Participant shall receive a reduced Pre-409A Pension payable for life, ending with the last monthly payment due prior to his death.  Payments in the amount of 50 percent of such reduced Pre-409A Pension shall be continued after the Participant's death to his beneficiary for life, beginning on the first day of the month coincident with or following the Participant's death and ending with the last monthly payment due prior to the beneficiary's death.  A 50 percent survivor option under this paragraph shall be a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if the Participant's beneficiary is his Eligible Spouse.
 
(iv)  Ten Years Certain and Life Option: The Participant shall receive a reduced Pre-409A Pension which shall be payable monthly for his lifetime but for not less than 120 months.  If the retired Participant dies before 120 payments have been made, the monthly Pension amount shall be paid for the remainder of the 120 month period to the Participant's primary beneficiary (or if the primary beneficiary has predeceased the Participant, the Participant's contingent beneficiary).
 
(3)  Single Lump Sum Payment Option:  A Participant may receive payment of his Pre-409A Pension in the form of a Single Lump Sum payment.
 
(4)  Combination Lump Sum/Monthly Benefit Option:  A Participant who does not have an Advance Election in effect may receive a portion of his Pre-409A

 
37

 

Pension in the form of a lump sum payment, and the remaining portion in the form of one of the monthly benefits described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above.  The Pre-409A Pension is divided between the two forms of payment based on the whole number percentages designated by the Participant on a form provided for this purpose by the Plan Administrator.  For the election to be effective, the sum of the two percentages designated by the Participant must equal 100 percent.
 
(i)  The amount of the Pre-409A Pension paid in the form of a lump sum is determined by multiplying: (A) the amount that would be payable to the Participant as a Single Lump Sum payment if the Participant's entire benefit were payable in that form, by (B) the percentage that the Participant has designated for receipt in the form of a lump sum.
 
(ii)  The amount of the Pre-409A Pension paid in the form of a monthly benefit is determined by multiplying: (A) the amount of the monthly benefit elected by the Participant, determined in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) above (whichever applies), by (B) the percentage that the Participant has designated for receipt in the form of a monthly benefit.
 
(b)  Inflation Protection:  The following levels of inflation protection may be provided to any Participant who is entitled to a Pre-409A Retirement Pension (except to the extent such Pre-409A Pension is paid as a lump sum).
 
(1)  5 Percent Inflation Protection:  A Participant's monthly benefit shall be initially reduced, but thereafter shall be increased if inflation in the prior year exceeds 5 percent.  The amount of the increase shall be the difference between inflation in the prior year and 5 percent.

 
38

 


 
(2)  7 Percent Inflation Protection:  A Participant's monthly benefit shall be initially reduced, but thereafter shall be increased if inflation in the prior year exceeds 7 percent.  The amount of the increase shall be the difference between inflation in the prior year and 7 percent.
 
Benefits shall be subject to increase in accordance with this subsection each January 1, beginning with the second January 1 following the Participant's Annuity Starting Date.  The amount of inflation in the prior year shall be determined based on inflation in the 12-month period ending on September 30 of such year, with inflation measured in the same manner as applies on the Effective Date for adjusting Social Security benefits for changes in the cost of living.  Inflation protection that is in effect shall carry over to any survivor benefit payable on behalf of a Participant, and shall increase the otherwise applicable survivor benefit as provided above.  Any election by a Participant to receive inflation protection shall be irrevocable by such Participant or his surviving beneficiary.
 
(c)  Available Options for Vested Benefits Prior to January 1, 2009:  For periods prior to January 1, 2009, the forms of payment available for a Participant with a Pre-409A Vested Pension were are a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity for married Participants and a Single Life Annuity for both married and unmarried Participants, determined in accordance with Section 6.2(a).  For periods after December 31, 2008, the applicable form of payment for Participants entitled to a Pre-409A Vested Pension shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.1(b).
6.4  Procedures for Elections:  This section sets forth the procedures for making Advance Elections and PEP Elections.
 
(a)  In General:  To qualify as an Advance Election or PEP Election for purposes of Section 6.2, an election must be made in writing, on the form designated by the Plan

 
39

 

Administrator, and must be signed by the Participant.  These requirements also apply to any revocations of such elections.  Spousal consent is not required for any election (or revocation of election) under the Plan.
 
(b)  Advance Election:  To qualify as an Advance Election, an election must be made under this Plan on or after the Effective Date (or must have been made under the Prior Plan on or after July 15, 1993) and prior to January 1, 2009, and it must meet the following requirements.
 
(1)  Election:  The Participant shall designate on the Advance Election form whether the Participant elects to take his Pre-409A Pension in the form of an Annuity or a Single Lump Sum.
 
(2)  Receipt by Plan Administrator:  The Advance Election must be received by the Plan Administrator before the earlier of (i) January 1, 2009, and (ii) the start of the calendar year containing the Participant's Retirement Date, and such election must be received by the Plan Administrator at least 6 months before the Participant’s Retirement Date.  An election that meets the foregoing requirements shall remain effective until it is changed or revoked as provided in paragraph (3).
 
(3)  Change or Revocation of Election:  A Participant shall not be permitted to change or revoke an Advance Election after December 31, 2008.  Prior to this date, a Plan Participant may change an Advance Election by filing a new Election that meets the foregoing requirements of this subsection (b).  A Participant may revoke an Advance Election only by filing a revocation that is received by the Plan Administrator before the earlier of (i) January 1, 2009, and (ii) the start of the calendar year containing the Plan Participant's Retirement Date, and such revocation must be received by the Plan Administrator at least 6 months before the Participant’s Retirement Date.

 
40

 


 
Any Advance Election by a Participant shall be void if the Participant is not entitled to a Pre-409A Retirement Pension.
 
(c)  PEP Election:  A PEP Election may only be made by a Participant who has an Advance Election to receive an Annuity in effect at the time his PEP Election is received by the Plan Administrator.  In determining whether an Advance Election is in effect for this purpose, the advance receipt requirement of subsection (b)(2) shall be considered met if it will be met by the Participant's proposed Retirement Date.
 
(1)  Election:  The Participant shall designate on the PEP Election form the Annuity form of benefit the Participant selects from those described in Section 6.3, including the Participant's choice of inflation protection, subject to the provisions of this Article VI.  The forms of payment described in Section 6.3(a)(3) and (4) are not available pursuant to a PEP Election.
 
(2)  Receipt by the Plan Administrator:  The PEP Election must be received by the Plan Administrator no earlier than 180 days (90 days prior to January 1, 2007) before the Participant's Retirement Date, and no later than the close of business on the day before the Participant's Retirement Date.  The Participant shall furnish proof of the age of his beneficiary (including his Eligible Spouse if applicable), to the Plan Administrator by the day before the Participant's Retirement Date, for any form of payment which is subject to reduction in accordance with subsection 6.3(c) above.
 
A Participant may change his PEP Election by filing a new Election with the Plan Administrator that meets the foregoing requirements.  The Participant's PEP Election shall become effective at the close of business on the day before the Participant's Retirement Date.  Any PEP Election by a Participant shall be void if the Participant does not have an Advance Election in effect at such time.

 
41

 


 
(d)  Elections Rules for Annuity Starting Dates:  When amounts become payable to a Participant in accordance with Article IV, they shall be payable as of the Participant's Annuity Starting Date and the election procedures (in this section and Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.5) shall apply to all of the Participant's unpaid accruals under this Pre-409A Program as of such Annuity Starting Date, with the following exception.  In the case of a Participant who is rehired after his initial Annuity Starting Date and who (i) is currently receiving an Annuity that remained in pay status upon rehire, or (ii) was previously paid a lump sum distribution (other than a cashout distribution described in Section 4.9(a)), the Participant's subsequent Annuity Starting Date (as a result of his termination of reemployment), and the election procedures at such subsequent Annuity Starting Date, shall apply only to the portion of his benefit that accrues after his rehire.  Any prior accruals that remain to be paid as of the Participant's subsequent Annuity Starting Date shall continue to be payable in accordance with the elections made at his initial Annuity Starting Date under this Pre-409A Program.
For purposes of this section, an election shall be treated as received on a particular day if it is: (A) postmarked that day,  or (B) actually received by the Plan Administrator on that day.  Delivery under clause (B) must be made by the close of business, which time is to be determined by the Plan Administrator.
6.5  Special Rules for Survivor Options:
 
(a)  Effect of Certain Deaths:  If a Participant makes a PEP Election for a form of payment described in Section 6.3(a)(2) and the Participant or his beneficiary (beneficiaries in the case of Section 6.3(a)(2)(iv)) dies before the PEP Election becomes effective, the election shall be disregarded.  If the Participant dies after such PEP Election becomes effective but before his Pre-409A Retirement Pension actually commences, the election shall be given effect and the amount payable to his surviving Eligible Spouse or other beneficiary shall commence on the first

 
42

 

day of the month following his death (any back payments due the Participant shall be payable to his estate).  In the case of a Participant who has elected the form of payment described in Section 6.3(a)(2)(iv), if such Participant dies:  (i) after the PEP Election has become effective, (ii) without a surviving primary or contingent benefi­ciary, and (iii) before receiving 120 payments under the form of payment, then the remaining payments due under such form of payment shall be paid to the Participant's estate.  If payments have commenced under such form of payment to a Participant's primary or contingent beneficiary and such beneficiary dies before payments are completed, then the remaining payments due under such form of payment shall be paid to such beneficiary's estate.
 
(b)  Nonspouse Beneficiaries:  If a Participant's beneficiary is not his Eligible Spouse, he may not elect:
 
(1)  The 100 percent survivor option described in Section 6.3(a)(2)(i) if his nonspouse beneficiary is more than 10 years younger than he is, or
(2)  The 75 percent survivor option described in Section 6.3(a)(2)(ii) if his nonspouse beneficiary is more than 19 years younger than he is.
6.6  Designation of Beneficiary:  A Participant who has elected to receive all or part of his Pre-409A Pension in a form of payment that includes a survivor option shall designate a beneficiary who will be entitled to any amounts payable on his death.  Such designation shall be made on a PEP Election Form or an approved election form filed under the Salaried Plan, whichever is applicable.  In the case of the survivor option described in Section 6.3(a)(2)(iv), the Participant shall be entitled to name both a primary beneficiary and a contingent  beneficiary.  A Participant (whether active or former) shall have the right to change or revoke his beneficiary designation at any time prior to when his election is finally effective.  The designation of any beneficiary, and any change or revocation thereof, shall be made in accordance with rules adopted by the Plan Admin­istrator.  A beneficiary designation shall not be effective unless and until filed with the Plan Administrator (or for periods before the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator

 
43

 

under the Prior Plan).  If no beneficiary is properly designated, then a Participant's election of a survivor's option described in Section 6.3(a)(2) shall not be given effect.  A Participant who is entitled to a Pre-409A Vested Pension shall not have the right or ability to name a beneficiary under the Pre-409A Program.  Except as provided in the next sentence, if such a Participant is married, his beneficiary shall be his Eligible Spouse on his Annuity Starting Date.  However, if the Participant is entitled to a Retirement Pension under the Salaried Plan and a Vested Pension under the Pre-409A Program, and he designates a non-spouse beneficiary for his benefit under the Salaried Plan, such non-spouse beneficiary shall be the Participant’s beneficiary for purposes of his benefit under the Pre-409A Program.
6.7  Payment of FICA and Related Income Taxes:  Consistent with the Company’s past practice prior to the Effective Date, a portion of a Participant’s Pre-409A Pension, if any, shall be paid as a single lump sum and remitted directly to the Internal Revenue Service (or applicable taxing authority) in satisfaction of the Participant’s FICA Amount and the related withholding of income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 (or the corresponding withholding provisions of the applicable state, local or foreign tax laws) as a result of the payment of the FICA Amount and the additional withholding of income tax at source on wages that is attributable to the pyramiding of wages and taxes (all such amounts due are referred to collectively as “Employment Taxes”) that are due with respect to the Participant’s Pre-409A Pension.  To reflect the payment of the Employment Taxes, the Participant’s Pre-409A Pension shall be reduced, effective as of the date for payment of such lump sum, with such reduction being the Actuarial Equivalent of the lump sum payment used to satisfy the Participant’s liability for the Employment Taxes.

ARTICLE VII
Administration
7.1  Authority to Administer Plan:  The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator, which shall have the authority to interpret the Plan and issue such regulations as it deems appropriate.  The Plan Administrator shall maintain Plan records and make benefit calculations, and may rely upon information furnished it by the Participant in writing, including the Participant's current mailing address, age and marital status.  The Plan Administrator's interpretations, determinations, regulations and calculations shall be final and binding on all persons and parties concerned.  The Company, in its capacity as Plan Administrator or in any other capacity, shall not be a fiduciary of the Plan for purposes of ERISA, and any restrictions that apply to a party in interest under section 406 of ERISA shall not apply to the Company or otherwise under the Plan.
7.2  Facility of Payment:  Whenever, in the Plan Administrator's opinion, a person entitled to receive any payment of a benefit or installment thereof hereunder is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs, the Plan Administrator may make payments to such person or to the legal representative of such person for his benefit, or the Plan Administrator may apply the payment for the benefit of such person in such manner as it considers advisable.  Any payment of a benefit or installment thereof in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be a complete discharge of any liability for the making of such payment under the provisions of the Plan.
7.3  Claims Procedure:  The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretionary authority to construe and to interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility for benefits and to determine the amount of such benefits, and its decisions on such matters are final and conclusive.  As a result, benefits under the Plan will be paid only if the Plan Administrator decides in its discretion that the person claiming such benefits is entitled to them.  This discretionary authority is intended to be absolute, and in any case where the extent of this discretion is in question, the Plan Administrator is to be accorded

 
45

 

the maximum discretion possible. Any exercise of this discretionary authority shall be reviewed by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal under the arbitrary and capricious standard (i.e., the abuse of discretio n standard).  If, pursuant to this discretionary authority, an assertion of any right to a benefit by or on behalf of a Participant or beneficiary (a “claimant”) is wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator, or a party designated by the Plan Administrator, will pro­vide such claimant within the 90-day period following the receipt of the claim by the Plan Administrator, a comprehensible written notice setting forth:
 
(a)  The specific reason or reasons for such denial;
 
(b)  Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
 
(c)  A description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to submit to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and
 
(d)  A description of the Plan's claim review procedure (including the time limits applicable to such process and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action following a further denial on review).
If the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, it may extend the response period from 90 to 180 days  If this occurs, the Plan Administrator will notify the claimant before the end of the initial 90-day period, indicating the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to make the final decision.  The claim review procedure is available upon written request by the claimant to the Plan Administrator, or the designated party, within 60 days after receipt by the claimant of writ­ten notice of the denial of the claim.  Upon review, the Plan Administrator shall provide the claimant a full and fair review of the claim, including the opportunity to submit to the Plan Administrator comments, documents, records and other information relevant to the claim and the Plan Administrator’s review shall take into account such comments, documents, records and information, regardless of whether it was submitted or

 
46

 

considered at the initial determination.  The decision on review will be made within 60 days after receipt of the request for review, unless circumstances warrant an extension of time not to exceed an additional 60 days.  If this occurs, notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period, indicating the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to make the final decision.  The final decision shall be in writing and drafted in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant; include specific reasons for the decision with references to the specific Plan provisions on which the decision is based; and provide that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to his claim for benefits.  Any claim under the Plan that is reviewed by a court shall be reviewed solely on the basis of the record before the Plan Administrator at the time it made its determination.  In addition, any such review shall be conditioned on the claimant’s having fully exhausted all rights under this section.  Any notice or other notification that is required to be sent to a claimant under this section may be sent pursuant to any method approved under Department of Labor Regulations Section 2520.104b-1 or other applicable guidance.
7.4  Effect of Specific References:  Specific references in the Plan to the Plan Administrator's discretion shall create no inference that the Plan Administrator's discretion in any other respect, or in connection with any other provision, is less complete or broad.

 
47

 

ARTICLE VIII
 
Miscellaneous
8.1  Nonguarantee of Employment:  Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between an Employer and any Employee, or as a right of any Employee to be continued in the employment of an Employer, or as a limitation of the right of an Employer to discharge any of its Employees, with or without cause.
8.2  Nonalienation of Benefits:  Benefits payable under the Plan or the right to receive future benefits under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encum­brance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder, including any assignment or alienation in connection with a divorce, separation, child support or similar arrangement, shall be null and void and not binding on the Company.  The Company shall not in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, engage­ments or torts of any person entitled to benefits hereunder.
8.3  Unfunded Plan:  The Company's obligations under the Plan shall not be funded, but shall constitute liabilities by the Company payable when due out of the Company's general funds. To the extent the Participant or any other person acquires a right to receive benefits under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the rights of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
8.4  Action by the Company:  Any action by the Company under this Plan may be made by the Board of Directors of the Company or by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, with a report of any actions taken by it to the Board of Directors.  In addition, such action may be made by any other person or persons duly authorized by resolution of said Board to take such action.

8.5  Indemnification:  Unless the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine otherwise, the Company shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any employee acting in good faith within the scope of his employment in carrying out the administration of the Plan.
8.6  Section 409A:  At all times, the Plan shall be operated to preserve the status of benefits under this Pre-409A Program as being exempt from Section 409A, i.e., to preserve the grandfathered status of the Pre-409A Program.  In all cases, the prior sentence shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan.  Accordingly, in determining rights and benefits under this Pre-409A Program, changes in the Salaried Plan that are effective after December 31, 2004, shall be disregarded to the extent necessary to avoid a material modification of this Pre-409A Program that would constitute a material modification for purposes of Section 409A.

ARTICLE IX
 
Amendment and Termination
 
This Article governs the Company’s right to amend or terminate the Plan.  The Company’s amendment and termination powers under this Article shall be subject, in all cases, to the restrictions on amendment and termination in Section 409A and shall be exercised in accordance with such restrictions to ensure continued exemption of this Pre-409A Program from Section 409A in accordance with Section 8.6.
9.1  Continuation of the Plan:  While the Company and the Employers intend to con­tinue the Plan indefinitely, they assume no contractual obligation as to its continuance.  In accordance with Section 8.4, the Company hereby reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, terminate, or partially terminate the Plan at any time provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the amount of benefit to which a Participant or his beneficiary is already entitled under Article IV on the date of such amendment or termination, unless the Participant becomes entitled to an amount of equivalent value to such benefit under another plan or practice adopted by the Company (using such actuarial assumptions as the Company may apply in its discretion.  Specific forms of payment are not protected under the preceding sentence.
9.2  Amendments:  The Company may, in its sole discretion, make any amendment or amendments to this Plan from time to time, with or without retroactive effect, including any amendment or amendments to eliminate available distribution options under Article VI hereof at any time before the earlier of the Participant's Annuity Starting Date under this Plan or under the Salaried Plan.  An Employer (other than the Company) shall not have the right to amend the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment of the Plan shall be effective to the extent that the amendment would be considered a “material modification” (as that term is defined in Section 409A) of the Pre-409A Program and would, as a result, cause the Pre-409A Program to be subject to Section 409A.

 
50

 


9.3  Termination:  The Company may terminate the Plan, either as to its participation or as to the participation of one or more Employers.  If the Plan is terminated with respect to fewer than all of the Employers, the Plan shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Employees of the remaining Employers.

Foreword


This Appendix sets forth additional provisions applicable to individuals specified in the Articles of this Appendix.  In any case where there is a conflict between the Appendix and the main text of the Plan, the Appendix shall govern.

ARTICLE A
 
Accruals for 1993 and 1994
 
This Article A of the Appendix shall be effective on the date the Plan is adopted.
A.1  Accruals for 1993 and 1994:  This section shall apply to any individual:  (i) who was a Salaried Plan Participant and employed by the PepsiCo Organization (as defined below) on December 31, 1993, (ii) whose Salaried Plan Pension was vested during 1993 (or would have become vested in 1994 if his Service after 1993 included the assumed period of continued service specified in (a)(1) below), and (iii) whose minimum 1993 Pension in subsection (a) below is not derived solely from that portion of the Plan described in (c) of Article X.  In determining the amount of the 1993 and 1994 Pension amounts for any such individual, the provisions set forth in subsections (a) and (b) below shall apply.
 
(a)  Minimum 1993 Pension:  Any individual who is covered by this section shall accrue a minimum 1993 Pension as of December 31, 1993.  In determining the amount of such individual's minimum 1993 Pension, the following shall apply.
 
(1)  An individual's Service and Credited Service as of the end of 1993 shall be assumed to equal the respective Service and Credited Service he would have if his Service continued through December 31, 1994.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the assumed period of continued Service shall be less to the extent PepsiCo, Inc.’s human resource records on December 31, 1993 reflected a scheduled termination date in 1994 for such individual.  In this case, the individual's assumed period of continued service shall be the portion of 1994 that ends with such scheduled termination date.
 
(2)  An individual's Highest Average Monthly Earnings as of the end of 1993 shall be adjusted by the actuary's salary scale assumption which is used under the

 
57

 

Salaried Plan, so that they equal the amount such scale projects for the individual as of the end of 1994.   Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following special rules shall apply.
 
(i)  A higher salary scale assumption shall be used for anyone whose projected 1994 earnings as reflected on the "Special PEP Salary Scale" of the PepsiCo Benefits Department on December 31, 1993 were higher than would be assumed under the first sentence of this paragraph.  In this case, the individual's 1993 earnings shall be adjusted using such higher salary scale.
 
(ii)  In the case of an individual whose assumed period of service under paragraph (1) above is less than all of 1994, the salary adjustment under the preceding provisions of this paragraph shall be reduced to the amount that would apply if the individual had no earnings after his scheduled termination date.
 
(3)  An individual's attained age as of the end of 1993 shall be assumed to be the age he would have at the end of the assumed period of continued service applicable under paragraph (1) above.
 
Any individual who is covered by this section, and who is not otherwise vested as of December 31, 1993, shall be vested as of such date in both his Pension (determined without regard to this subsection) and his minimum 1993 Pension.  For purposes of this subsection, Code section 401(a)(17) shall be applied in 1993 by giving effect to the amendments to such Code section made by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Amendments of 1993.

 
58

 


 
(b)  Determination of 1994 Accrual:  If a participant in the Salaried Plan accrues a minimum 1993 Pension under subsection (a) above, the amount of any PEP  Pension that accrues thereafter (under the Prior Plan or this Plan) shall be only the amount by which the PEP Pension that would otherwise accrue for years after 1993 exceeds his minimum 1993 Pension under subsection (a).
 
(c)  PepsiCo Organization:  As of the time in question, the controlled group of organizations of which PepsiCo, Inc. was a part, as defined by Code section 414 and regulations issued thereunder.

ARTICLE B
 
Transferred and Transition Individuals
All Transferred Individuals (as defined below) who participate in the Prior Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be Participants in this Plan as of the Effective Date.  The spinoff of this Plan from the Prior Plan shall not result in a break in the Transferred Individual’s or the Transition Individual’s (as defined below) Service or Credited Service.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, and as provided in Section 2.4 of the Agreement (as defined below), all service, all compensation, and all other benefit-affecting determinations for Transferred Individuals that, as of the Close of the Distribution Date, were recognized under the Prior Plan for periods immediately before such date, shall as of the Effective Date continue to receive full recognition, credit and validity and shall be taken into account under this Plan as if such items occurred under this Plan, except to the extent that duplication of benefits would result.  Similarly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the benefits of Transition Individuals shall be determined in accordance with section 8.4 of the Agreement.
The Plan Administrator may reduce benefits under this Plan to the extent that it determines such reduction is appropriate to avoid or reduce duplication of benefits.
With respect to events or determinations occurring before the Effective Date, a reference herein to the Plan Administrator shall mean the plan administrator under the Prior Plan in any case deemed appropriate by the Plan Administrator under this Plan.
For purposes of this Article, the following definitions shall apply.  The term “Agreement” shall mean the 1997 Employee Programs Agreement between PepsiCo, inc. and Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc.  The terms “Close of the Distribution Date,” “Transferred Individuals” and “Transition Individuals” shall take the definitions given those terms in the Agreement.

ARTICLE C
 
Plan Provisions Applicable to Pre-2005 Participants

C.1  Scope:  This Article supplements the main portion of the Plan document with respect to the rights and benefits of Pre-2005 Participants.
C.2  Definitions:  Except as otherwise provided herein, words or phrases appearing in this Article with initial capitals shall have the meaning set forth in the main portion of the Plan.
C.3  Applicability of Plan Document:  Except as set forth in Subsection C.4 below, the main portion of the Plan document shall apply in all respects to Pre-2005 Participants.
C.4  Determination of Pre-2005 Participant Benefit:  If a Pension becomes payable to or on behalf of a Pre-2005 Participant, the following Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 contained in this Section C.4 shall replace Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of the main Plan document, and the amount of the Pre-2005 Participant’s Pension shall be determined under Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 below (whichever is applicable), subject to any adjustments required under Sections 4.6(b), 5.4 and 5.5 of the main Plan document:
“5.1  PEP Pension:
(a)  Same Form as Salaried Plan:  If a Pre-2005 Participant's Pension will be paid in the same form and will commence as of the same time as his pension under the Salaried Plan, then his Pension hereunder shall be the difference between:
(1)  His Total Pension expressed in such form and payable as of such time, minus
(2)  His Salaried Plan Pension expressed in such form and payable as of such time.
(b)  Different Form than Salaried Plan:  If a Pre-2005 Participant's Pension will be paid in a different form (whether in whole or in part) or will commence as of a different time than his pension under the Salaried Plan, his Pension shall be the product of:

 
61

 


(1)  The amount of the Pre-2005 Participant's Total Pension expressed in the form and payable as of such time as applies to his Pension under this Plan, multiplied by
(2)  A fraction, the numerator of which is the value of his Total Pension reduced by the value of his Salaried Plan Pension, and the denominator of which is the value of his Total Pension (with value determined on a reasonable and consistent basis, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, with respect to similarly situated employees).
(c)  Definitions:  The following definitions apply for purposes of this section.
(1)  A Pre-2005 Participant's "Total Pension" means the greater of:
(i)  The amount of the Pre-2005 Participant's pension determined under the terms of the Salaried Plan, but without regard to:  (A) the limitations imposed by sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code (as such limitations are interpreted and applied under the Salaried Plan), and (B) the actuarial adjustment under Section 5.7(d) of the Salaried Plan; or
(ii)  The amount (if any) of the Pre-2005 Participant's PEP Guarantee determined under Section 5.2.
In making this comparison, the benefits in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be calculated with reference to the specific form and time of payment that is applicable.  If the applicable form of payment is a lump sum, the Actuarial Equivalent factors in Section 2.1(b)(2) shall apply for purposes of subparagraph (i) in lieu of those in the Salaried Plan.
(2)  A Pre-2005 Participant's "Salaried Plan Pension" means the amount of the Pre-2005 Participant's pension determined under the terms of the Salaried Plan.

 
62

 


5.2  PEP Guarantee:  A Pre-2005 Participant who is eligible under subsection (a) below shall be entitled to a PEP Guarantee benefit determined under subsection (b) below.  In the case of other Pre-2005 Participants, the PEP Guarantee shall not apply.
(a)  Eligibility:  A Pre-2005 Participant shall be covered by this section if the Pre-2005 Participant has 1988 pensionable earnings from an Employer of at least $75,000.  For purposes of this section, "1988 pensionable earnings" means the Pre-2005 Participant's remuneration for the 1988 calendar year, within the meaning of the Salaried Plan as in effect in 1988.  "1988 pensionable earnings" does not include remuneration from an entity attributable to any period when that entity was not an Employer.
(b)  PEP Guarantee Formula:  The amount of a Pre-2005 Participant's PEP Guarantee shall be determined under the applicable formula in paragraph (1), subject to the special rules in paragraph (2).
(1)  Formulas:  The amount of a Pre-2005 Participant's Pension under this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with subparagraph (i) below.  However, if the Pre-2005 Participant was actively employed by the PepsiCo Organization in a classification eligible for the Salaried Plan prior to July 1, 1975, the amount of his Pension under this paragraph shall be the greater of the amounts determined under subparagraphs (i) and (ii), provided that subparagraph (ii)(B) shall not apply in determining the amount of a Vested Pension.
(i)  Formula A:  The Pension amount under this subparagraph shall be:

 
63

 


(A)  3 percent of the Pre-2005 Participant's Highest Average Monthly Earnings for the first 10 years of Credited Service, plus
(B)  1 percent of the Pre-2005 Participant's Highest Average Monthly Earnings for each year of Credited Service in excess of 10 years, less
(C)  1-2/3 percent of the Pre-2005 Participant's Primary Social Security Amount multiplied by years of Credited Service not in excess of 30 years.
In determining the amount of a Vested Pension under this Formula A, the Pension shall first be calculated on the basis of (I) the Credited Service the Pre-2005 Participant would have earned had he remained in the employ of the Employer until his Normal Retirement Age, and (II) his Highest Average Monthly Earnings and Primary Social Security Amount at his Severance from Service Date, and then shall be reduced by multiplying the resulting amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Pre-2005 Participant's actual years of Credited Service on his Severance from Service Date and the denominator of which is the years of Credited Service he would have earned had he remained in the employ of an Employer until his Normal Retirement Age.
(ii)  Formula B:  The Pension amount under this subparagraph shall be the greater of (A) or (B) below:
(A)  1-1/2 percent of Highest Average Monthly Earnings times the number of years of Credited Service, less 50 percent of the Pre-2005 Participant's Primary Social Security Amount, or

 
64

 


(B)  3 percent of Highest Average Monthly Earnings times the number of years of Credited Service up to 15 years, less 50 percent of the Pre-2005 Participant's Primary Social Security Amount.
In determining the amount of a Disability Pension under Formula A or B above, the Pension shall be calculated on the basis of the Pre-2005 Participant's Credited Service (determined in accordance with Section 3.3(d)(3) of the Salaried Plan), and his Highest Average Monthly Earnings and Primary Social Security Amount at the date of disability.
(2)  Calculation:  The amount of the PEP Guarantee shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (1) above, subject to the following special rules:
(i)  Surviving Eligible Spouse's Annuity:  Subject to subparagraph (iii) below and the last sentence of this subparagraph, if the Pre-2005 Participant has an Eligible Spouse, the Pre-2005 Participant's Eligible Spouse shall be entitled to receive a survivor annuity equal to 50 percent of the Pre-2005 Participant's Annuity under this section, with no corresponding reduction in such Annuity for the Pre-2005 Participant.  Annuity payments to a surviving Eligible Spouse shall begin on the first day of the month coincident with or following the Pre-2005 Participant's death and shall end with the last monthly payment due prior to the Eligible Spouse's death.  If the Eligible Spouse is more than 10 years younger than the Pre-2005 Participant, the survivor benefit payable under this subparagraph shall be adjusted as provided below.
(A)  For each full year more than 10 but less than 21 that the surviving Eligible Spouse is younger than the Pre-2005 Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by 0.8 percent.

 
65

 


(B)  For each full year more than 20 that the surviving Eligible Spouse is younger than the Pre-2005 Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by an additional 0.4 percent.
(ii)  Reductions:  The following reductions shall apply in determining a Pre-2005 Participant's PEP Guarantee.
(A)  If the Pre-2005 Participant will receive an Early Retirement Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced by 3/12ths of 1 percent for each month by which the benefit commencement date precedes the date the Pre-2005 Participant would attain his Normal Retirement Date.
(B)  If the Pre-2005 Participant is entitled to a Vested Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced to the Actuarial Equivalent of the amount payable at his Normal Retirement Date (if payment commences before such date), and the Section 4.6(b) reductions for any Pre-Retirement Spouse's coverage shall apply.
(C)  This clause applies if the Pre-2005 Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides an Eligible Spouse benefit, continuing for the life of the surviving spouse, that is greater than that provided under subparagraph (i).  In this instance, the Pre-2005 Participant's Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Pre-2005 Participant's behalf is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pension otherwise payable under the foregoing provisions of this section.

 
66

 


(D)  This clause applies if the Pre-2005 Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides a survivor annuity for a beneficiary who is not his Eligible Spouse.  In this instance, the Pre-2005 Participant's Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Pre-2005 Participant's behalf is the Actuarial Equivalent of a Single Life Annuity for the Pre-2005 Participant's life.
(E)  This clause applies if the Pre-2005 Participant will receive his Pension in a Annuity form that includes inflation protection described in Section 6.2(b).  In this instance, the Pre-2005 Participant's Pension under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the benefit payable on the Pre-2005 Participant's behalf is the Actuarial Equivalent of the elected Annuity without such protection.
(iii)  Lump Sum Conversion:  The amount of the Retirement Pension determined under this section for a Pre-2005 Participant whose Retirement Pension will be distributed in the form of a lump sum shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Pre-2005 Participant's PEP Guarantee determined under this section, taking into account the value of any survivor benefit under subparagraph (i) above and any early retirement reductions under subparagraph (ii)(A) above.
5.3  Amount of Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension:  The  monthly amount of the Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension payable to a surviving Eligible Spouse under Section 4.6 shall be determined under subsection (a) below.

 
67

 


(a)  Calculation:  An Eligible Spouse's Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension shall be the difference between:
(1)  The Eligible Spouse's Total Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension, minus
(2)  The Eligible Spouse's Salaried Plan Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension.
(b)  Definitions:  The following definitions apply for purposes of this section.
(1)  An Eligible Spouse's "Total Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension" means the greater of:
(i)  The amount of the Eligible Spouse's pre-retirement spouse's pension determined under the terms of the Salaried Plan, but without regard to:  (A) the limitations imposed by sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code (as such limitations are interpreted and applied under the Salaried Plan), and (B) the actuarial adjustment under Section 5.7(d) of the Salaried Plan; or
(ii)  The amount (if any) of the Eligible Spouse's PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension determined under
subsection (c).
In making this comparison, the benefits in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be calculated with reference to the specific time of payment applicable to the Eligible Spouse.
(c)  PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension:  An Eligible Spouse's PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) below, whichever is applicable, with reference to the PEP Guarantee (if any) that would have been available to the Pre-2005 Participant under Section 5.2.

 
68

 


(1)  Normal Rule:  The Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension payable under this paragraph shall be equal to the amount that would be payable as a survivor annuity, under a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, if the Pre-2005 Participant had:
(i)  Separated from service on the date of death (or, if earlier, his actual Severance from Service Date);
(ii)  Commenced a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity on the same date payments of the Qualified Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension are to commence; and
(iii)  Died on the day immediately following such commencement.
If payment of a Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension under this paragraph commences prior to the date which would have been the Pre-2005 Participant's Normal Retirement Date, appropriate reductions for early commencement shall be applied to the Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity upon which the Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension is based.
(2)  Special Rule for Active and Disabled Employees Who Die Prior to June 1, 2009:  Notwithstanding paragraph (1) above, the Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension paid on behalf of a Pre-2005 Participant described in Section 4.6(a) who dies prior to June 1, 2009 shall not be less than an amount equal to 25 percent of such Pre-2005 Participant's PEP Guarantee determined under Section 5.2.  For this purpose, Credited Service shall be determined as provided in Section 3.3(d)(2) of the Salaried Plan, and the deceased Pre-2005 Participant's Highest Average Monthly Earnings, Primary Social Security Amount and Covered Compensation shall be determined as of his date of death.  A Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension under this paragraph is not reduced for early commencement.”
