Only Non-Employee Directors shall be eligible to receive Awards under Section 8.

(b) International Participants. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan or to comply with provisions of laws in other countries in which the Company operates or has employees, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to (i) determine which Eligible Participants (if any) employed by the Company outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan, (ii) modify the terms and conditions of any Awards made to such Eligible Participants, and (iii) establish subplans and modified Option exercise procedures and other Award terms and procedures to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable.

Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a) Authorized Number of Shares. Unless otherwise authorized by PepsiCo’s shareholders and subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 10, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be (i) 70 million, plus (ii) the number of shares underlying awards under the Prior Plans, which are cancelled or expire after the effective date of this Plan. Any of the authorized shares may be used for any of the types of Awards described in the Plan, except:

(i) at least 20 million of the authorized shares will be available for issuance in connection with broad-based grants under PepsiCo’s SharePower program,

(ii) no more than 30 million of the authorized shares may be issued pursuant to Awards other than Options granted with an Option Exercise Price equal to Fair Market Value on the date of grant, and

(iii) no more than 50 million shares may be issued in the form of ISOs.

(b) Share Counting. The following shall apply in determining the number of shares remaining available for grant under this Plan:

(i) In connection with the granting of an Option or other Award (other than a Performance Unit denominated in dollars), the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares in respect of which the Option or Award is granted or denominated; provided, however, that where a SAR is settled in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan shall be reduced only by the number of shares issued in such settlement.

(ii) If any Option is exercised by tendering shares of Common Stock to PepsiCo as full or partial payment of the exercise price, the number of shares available for issuance under this Plan shall be increased by the number of shares so tendered.

(iii) Whenever any outstanding Option or other Award (or portion thereof) expires, is cancelled, is settled in cash or is otherwise terminated for any reason without having been exercised or payment having been made in respect of the entire Option or Award, the shares allocable to the expired, cancelled, settled or otherwise terminated portion of the Option or Award may again be the subject of Options or Awards granted under this Plan.

(iv) Awards granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who become employees as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition

or other corporate transaction involving the Company as a result of an acquisition will not count against the reserve of available shares under this Plan.

(c) Shares to be Delivered. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered by the Company under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee and may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares acquired on the open market.

Award Limitations.

The maximum number of Options or SARs that can be granted to any Eligible Participant during a single calendar year cannot exceed 2,000,000. The maximum per Eligible Participant, per calendar year amount of Awards other than Options and SARs shall not exceed $15,000,000 or 500,000 shares of Common Stock. The maximum Award that may be granted to any Eligible Participant for a Performance Period greater than one year shall not exceed the foregoing annual maximum multiplied by the number of full years in the Performance Period.

Awards to Eligible Participants.

(a) Options.

(i) Grants. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, Options may be granted to Eligible Participants. Options may consist of ISOs or NQSOs, as the Committee shall determine. Options may be granted alone or in tandem with SARs. With respect to Options granted in tandem with SARs, the exercise of either such Options or such SARs will result in the simultaneous cancellation of the same number of tandem SARs or Options, as the case may be.

(ii) Option Exercise Price. The Option Exercise Price shall be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted, unless the Option was granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who became employees of the Company as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other corporate transaction involving the Company.

(iii) Term. The term of Options shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event shall the term exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant; provided, however, that Awards covering up to five (5) million shares of Common Stock may be issued with a term of up to fifteen (15) years.

(iv) ISO Limits. ISOs may only be granted to employees of PepsiCo, its divisions and subsidiaries and may only be granted to an employee who, at the time the Option is granted, does not own stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of PepsiCo. The aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any year shall not exceed $100,000. The aggregate Fair Market Value of such shares shall be determined at the time the Option is granted.

(v) No Repricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 10, the Option Exercise Price for any outstanding Option granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may any outstanding Option granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Option with a lower Option Exercise Price without the approval of PepsiCo’s shareholders.

(vi) Buy Out of Option Gains. At any time after any Option becomes exercisable, the Committee shall have the right to elect, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the holder thereof, to cancel such Option and to cause PepsiCo to pay to the Participant the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock covered by such Option over the Option Exercise Price of such Option at the date the Committee provides written notice (the “Buy Out Notice”) of its intention to exercise such right. Buy outs pursuant to this provision shall be effected by PepsiCo as promptly as possible after the date of the Buy Out Notice. Payments of buy out amounts may be made in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or partly in cash and partly in Common Stock, as the Committee deems advisable. To the extent payment is made in shares

of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing the amount of the payment to be made by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the date of the Buy Out Notice.

(b) Stock Appreciation Rights.

(i) Grants. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, SARs may be granted to Eligible Participants. SARs may be granted alone or in tandem with Options. With respect to SARs granted in tandem with Options, the exercise of either such Options or such SARs will result in the simultaneous cancellation of the same number of tandem SARs or Options, as the case may be.

(ii) Purchase Price. The purchase price per share of Common Stock covered by a SAR granted pursuant to this Plan shall be equal to or greater than Fair Market Value on the date the SAR is granted, unless the SAR was granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who became employees of the Company as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other corporate transaction involving the Company.

(iii) Term. The term of a SAR shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event shall the term exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant; provided, however, that Awards covering up to five (5) million shares of Common Stock may be issued with a term of up to fifteen (15) years.

(iv) Form of Payment. The Committee may authorize payment of a SAR in the form of cash, Common Stock valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise, a combination thereof, or by any other method as the Committee may determine.

(i) Grants. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units may be granted to Eligible Participants.

(ii) Restrictions. The Committee shall impose such terms, conditions and/or restrictions on any Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation: a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Restricted Share or each Restricted Share Unit; restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals (Company-wide, divisional, and/or individual); time-based restrictions on vesting; and/or restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant, any time-based restriction period shall be for a minimum of three years. To the extent the Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units are intended to be deductible under Code Section 162(m), the applicable restrictions shall be based on the achievement of Performance Goals over a Performance Period, as described in Section 7(d) below.

(iii) Payment of Units. Restricted Share Units that become payable in accordance with their terms and conditions shall be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Committee.

(iv) No Disposition During Restriction Period. During the Restriction Period, Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered. In order to enforce the limitations imposed upon the Restricted Shares, the Committee may (a) cause a legend or legends to be placed on any certificates relating to such Restricted Shares, and/or (b) issue “stop transfer” instructions, as it deems necessary or appropriate.

(v) Dividend and Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, during the Restriction Period, Participants who hold Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units shall have the right to receive dividends in cash or other property or other distribution or rights in respect of such shares, and Participants who hold Restricted Shares shall have the right to vote such shares as the record owner thereof. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any dividends payable to a Participant during the Restriction Period shall be distributed to the Participant only if and when the restrictions imposed on the applicable Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units lapse.

(vi) Share Certificates. Each certificate issued for Restricted Shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant and deposited with the Company or its designee. At the end of the Restriction Period, a certificate representing the number of shares to which the Participant is then entitled shall be delivered to the Participant free and clear of the restrictions. No certificate shall be issued with respect to a Restricted Share Unit unless and until such unit is paid in shares of Common Stock.

(d) Performance Awards.

(i) Grants. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Performance Awards consisting of Performance Shares or Performance Units may be granted to Eligible Participants. Performance Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards made under the Plan.

(ii) Performance Goals. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Performance Awards shall be conditioned on the achievement of Performance Goals (which shall be based on one or more Performance Measures, as determined by the Committee) over a Performance Period. The Performance Period shall be one year, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

(iii) Performance Measures. The Performance Measure(s) to be used for purposes of Performance Awards may be described in terms of objectives that are related to the individual Participant or objectives that are Company-wide or related to a subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit of the Company in which the Participant is employed, and may consist of one or more or any combination of the following criteria: stock price, market share, sales revenue, cash flow, sales volume, earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, return on sales, return on invested capital, economic value added, net earnings, total shareholder return, gross margin, and/or costs. The Performance Goals based on these Performance Measures may be made relative to the performance of other corporations.

(iv) Negative Discretion. Notwithstanding the achievement of any Performance Goal established under this Plan, the Committee has the discretion, by Participant, to reduce some or all of a Performance Award that would otherwise be paid.

(v) Extraordinary Events. At, or at any time after, the time an Award is granted, and to the extent permitted under Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder without adversely affecting the treatment of the Award under the Performance Based Exception, the Committee may provide for the manner in which performance will be measured against the Performance Goals (or may adjust the Performance Goals) to reflect the impact of specific corporate transactions, accounting or tax law changes and other extraordinary and nonrecurring events.

(vi) Interpretation. With respect to any Award that is intended to satisfy the conditions for the Performance Based Exception under Code Section 162(m): (A) the Committee shall interpret the Plan and this Section 7 in light of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder; (B) the Committee shall have no discretion to amend the Award in any way that would adversely affect the treatment of the Award under Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder; and (C) such Award shall not be paid until the Committee shall first have certified that the Performance Goals have been achieved.

In substitution of the foregoing, the Non-Employee Director may elect to receive all or a portion (in 10% increments) of the Annual Grant of Restricted Stock Units in the form of stock options. In the event the Non-Employee Director elects to receive stock options, the number of stock options shall be determined by multiplying the number of Restricted Share Units by four.

(ii) A retainer fee of $110,000 for each Non-Employee Director who is the chairman of a committee of the Board or $100,000 for each other Non-Employee Director (the “Retainer Award”). Each Non-Employee Director may elect to receive the Retainer Award in the form of (A) cash or (B) deferred stock units.

(d) Death, Total Disability and Retirement. In the event of the death, Total Disability or Retirement of a Non-Employee Director prior to the granting of an Annual Grant and Retainer Award in respect of the fiscal year in which such event occurred, an Annual Grant and Retainer Award may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted in respect of such fiscal year to the retired or disabled Non-Employee Director or his or her estate. If any Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason other than death, Total Disability or Retirement, his or her rights to any Award in respect of the fiscal year during which such cessation occurred will terminate unless the Committee determines otherwise.

(e) Terms of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors.

(i) Each Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall have an Option Exercise Price equal to the Fair Market Value on the grant date.

(ii) Each Option granted to a Non-Employee Director prior to October 1, 2003 shall be fully vested and exercisable on the grant date. Subject to subparagraph (iii) below, each Option and Restricted Share Unit granted to a Non-Employee Director on or after October 1, 2003 shall vest (and, in the case of Options, become exercisable) on the third anniversary of the grant date. Each Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall have a term of ten years.

(iii) In the event a Non-Employee Director terminates membership on the Board prior to the vesting date of an Award, then (A) if such termination is the result of such Non-Employee Director’s death, Total Disability or Retirement, such Award shall immediately vest and, in the case of Options, be exercisable, and (B) if such termination is the result of an event other than death, Total Disability or Retirement, such Award shall immediately terminate and expire.

(iv) No Options granted to a Non-Employee Director may be exercised after he or she ceases to be a member of the Board, except that: (A) if such cessation occurs by reason of death, the Options then held by the Non-Employee Director may be exercised by his or her designated beneficiary (or, if none, his or her legal representative) until the expiration of such Options in accordance with the terms hereof; (B) if such cessation occurs by reason of the Non-Employee Director incurring a Total Disability, the Options then held by the Non-Employee Director may be exercised by him or her until the expiration of such Options in accordance with the terms hereof; and (C) if such cessation occurs by reason of the Non-Employee Director’s Retirement, the Options then held by the Non-Employee Director may be exercised by him or her until the expiration of such Options in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f) Exercise of Options Granted to Non-Employee Directors.

(i) To exercise an Option, a Non-Employee Director must provide to PepsiCo (A) a written notice specifying the number of Options to be exercised and (B) to the extent applicable, any required payments due upon exercise.

(ii) Non-Employee Directors may exercise Options under either of the following methods:

(A) Cashless Exercise. Non-Employee Directors may exercise Options through a registered broker-dealer pursuant to cashless exercise procedures that are, from time to time, approved by the Committee. Proceeds from any such exercise shall be used to pay the exercise costs, which include the Option Exercise Price, applicable taxes, brokerage commissions and SEC fees. Any remaining proceeds from the sale shall be delivered to the Non-Employee Director in cash or stock, as specified by the Non-Employee Director.

(B) Standard Exercise. Non-Employee Directors may exercise Options by paying to PepsiCo an amount in cash from his or her own funds equal to the Option Exercise Price and any taxes required at exercise. A certificate representing the shares of Common Stock that the Non-Employee Director purchased shall be delivered to him or her only after the Option Exercise Price and the applicable taxes have been paid.

Deferred Payments.

Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee may determine that all or a portion of any Award to a Participant, whether it is to be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, shall be deferred or may, in its sole discretion, approve deferral elections made by Participants. Deferrals shall be for such periods and upon such terms as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.

10.

Dilution and Other Adjustments.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares or other change in corporate structure affecting any class of Common Stock, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, make such adjustments in the class and aggregate number of shares which may be delivered under this Plan as described in Section 5, the individual award maximums under Section 6, the class, number, and Option Exercise Price of outstanding Options and the class and number of shares subject to any other Awards granted under this Plan (provided the number of shares of any class subject to any Award shall always be a whole number), as may be determined to be appropriate by the Committee, and any such adjustment may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, take the form of Options covering more than one class of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

11.

Change in Control.

Upon a Change in Control, the following shall occur:

(a) Options. Effective on the date of such Change in Control, all outstanding and unvested Options granted under the Plan shall immediately vest and become exercisable, and all Options then outstanding under the Plan shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, the gain on an Option shall be calculated as the difference between the closing price per share of Common Stock as of the date such Option becomes unexercisable less the Option Exercise Price.

(b) Stock Appreciation Rights. Effective on the date of such Change in Control, all outstanding and unvested SARs granted under the Plan shall immediately vest and become exercisable, and all SARs then outstanding under the Plan shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

Stock is no longer issued and outstanding, or no longer traded on a national securities exchange, then the holder of such SAR shall immediately be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the gain on such SAR. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the gain on a SAR shall be calculated as the difference between the closing price per share of Common Stock as of the date such SAR becomes unexercisable and the purchase price per share of Common Stock covered by the SAR.

(c) Restricted Shares/Restricted Share Units. Upon a Change of Control all Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units shall immediately vest and be distributed to Participants, effective as of the date of the Change of Control.

(d) Performance Awards. Each Performance Award granted under the Plan that is outstanding on the date of the Change in Control shall immediately vest and the holder of such Performance Award shall be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount of such Performance Award payable at the end of the Performance Period as if 100% of the Performance Goals have been achieved.

Except as otherwise provided in agreements covering Awards hereunder, a Participant shall forfeit all rights in his or her outstanding Awards under the Plan, and all such outstanding Awards shall automatically terminate and lapse, if the Committee determines that such Participant has (i) used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, (ii) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to the Company, including without limitation, a violation of any Company code of conduct, (iii) engaged in unlawful trading in the securities of PepsiCo or of another company based on information gained as a result of that Participant’s employment or other relationship with the Company, or (iv) committed a felony or other serious crime.

(b) Rights as Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have no rights as a holder of Common Stock with respect to Awards hereunder, unless and until certificates for shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant.

(d) Assignment or Transfer. Unless the Committee shall specifically determine otherwise, no Award under the Plan or any rights or interests therein shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. Once awarded, the shares of Common Stock received by Participants may be freely transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise subjected to lien, subject to the restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and PepsiCo’s Insider Trading Policy, each as amended from time to time.

(e) Withholding Taxes. PepsiCo shall have the right to deduct from all Awards paid in cash (and any other payment hereunder) any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such Awards and, with respect to Awards paid in stock or upon exercise of Options, to require the payment (through withholding from the Participant’s salary or otherwise) of any such taxes. The obligations of PepsiCo to make delivery of Awards in cash or Common Stock shall be subject to currency or other restrictions imposed by any government.

(f) No Rights to Awards. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of PepsiCo or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates. Except as set forth herein, no employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan. By accepting an Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees (i) that the Award will be exclusively governed by the terms of the Plan, including the right reserved by the Company to amend or cancel the Plan at any time without the Company incurring liability to the Participant (except for Awards already granted under the Plan), (ii) that Awards are not a constituent part of salary and that the Participant is not entitled, under the terms and conditions of employment, or by accepting or being granted Awards under this Plan to require Awards to be granted to him or her in the future under this Plan or any other plan, (iii) that the value of Awards received under the Plan will be excluded from the calculation of termination indemnities or other severance payments, and (iv) that the Participant will seek all necessary approval under, make all required notifications under and comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the ownership of Options and stock and the exercise of Options, including, without limitation, currency and exchange laws, rules and regulations.

(g) Beneficiary Designation. To the extent allowed by the Committee, each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named on a contingent or successive basis) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

(h) Costs and Expenses. The cost and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by PepsiCo and not charged to any Award or to any Participant.

(i) Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of Common Stock shall not be issued or transferred under an Award, but the Committee may pay cash in lieu of a fraction or round the fraction, in its discretion.

(j) Funding of Plan. PepsiCo shall not be required to establish or fund any special or separate account or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award under the Plan.

(k) Indemnification. Provisions for the indemnification of officers and directors of the Company in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be as set forth in PepsiCo’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as in effect from time to time.

(l) Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

13.

Effective Date, Governing Law, Amendments and Termination.

(a) Effective Date. The Plan was approved by the Board on January 30, 2003 and shall become effective on the date it is approved by PepsiCo’s shareholders.

(b) Amendments. The Board may at any time terminate or from time to time amend the Plan in whole or in part, but no such action shall adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to any Awards granted prior to the date of such termination or amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless PepsiCo’s shareholders shall have first approved the amendment, no amendment of the Plan shall be effective which would (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be delivered

under the Plan or to any one individual (except to the extent such amendment is made pursuant to Section 10 hereof), (ii) extend the maximum period during which Awards may be granted under the Plan, (iii) add to the types of awards that can be made under the Plan, (iv) change the Performance Measures pursuant to which Performance Awards are earned, (v) modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, or (vi) require shareholder approval pursuant to this Plan or applicable law to be effective. With the consent of the Participant affected, the Committee may amend outstanding agreements evidencing Awards under the Plan in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

(c) Governing Law. All questions pertaining to the construction, interpretation, regulation, validity and effect of the provisions of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina without giving effect to conflict of laws principles.

(d) Termination. No Awards shall be made under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date on which PepsiCo’s shareholders approve the Plan.
