[Form Agreement for CEO and EVPs]




FISCAL YEAR 2011

2009 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

BONUS AGREEMENT



     This SYSCO CORPORATION FISCAL YEAR 2011 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN BONUS AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) was adopted by the Plan Committee pursuant to the Sysco Corporation 2009
Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1)
and agreed to by the Company and                      (“Executive”) effective July 1, 2010. This
Agreement is effective for the fiscal year ending July 2, 2011 (the “Plan Year”).
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the
Plan.



     1. Calculation of Bonus. Subject to the further adjustments, limitations and additions
provided for in the Plan and this Agreement, Executive’s bonus under this Agreement shall be equal
to the product of: (i) Executive’s MIP Salary; and (B) the Table B Percentage. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive will be entitled to a bonus under this Agreement only if the Company achieves
an Increase in Earnings per Share of at least two percent (2%) for the Plan Year and a 3-Year
Average Return on Capital of at least eleven percent (11%) for the three fiscal years ending with
the Plan Year.


          (b) General Rules Regarding Bonus Calculation.



               (i) Consistent Accounting. In determining whether or not Executive is entitled to a
bonus under this Agreement, the Company’s accounting practice and generally accepted accounting
principles shall be applied on a basis consistent with prior periods, and such determination shall
be based on the calculations made by the Company, approved by the Plan Compensation Committee and
binding on Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any material change in GAAP during
a Plan Year that results in a material change in accounting for the revenues or expenses of the
Company the calculations of the Table B Percentage for the Plan Year (the “GAAP Change
Year”) shall be made as if such change in GAAP had not occurred during the GAAP Change Year.
In determining the Increase in Earnings Per Share for the Company in the year following the GAAP
Change Year, the calculation shall be made after taking into account such change in GAAP. In
determining the 3-Year Average Return on Capital of the Company in the year following the GAAP
Change Year, the calculation shall be made as if such accounting rules were in effect for the
entire calculation period.



               (ii) Maximum Bonus. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed
to allow the payment of a bonus under this Agreement based on a percentage in excess of the maximum
percentage set forth on Table B, attached hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Executive be entitled to a bonus amount for
the Plan Year in excess of 1% of the Company’s earnings before income taxes as publicly disclosed
in the “Consolidated Results of Operations” section of the financial statements contained in the
Company’s annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the Plan
Year.



               (iii) Tax Law Changes. If the Internal Revenue Code is amended during the Plan
Year and, as a result of such amendment(s), the effective tax rate applicable to the earnings of
the Company (as described in the Income Taxes footnote to the financial statements contained in the
Company’s annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the Plan Year)
changes during the year, the calculation of Table B Percentage for such Plan Year (the “Rate
Change Year”) shall be made as if such rate change had not occurred during the Rate Change
Year. In determining the Increase in Earnings Per Share for the Company in the year following the
Rate Change Year, the calculation shall be made after taking into account such rate change. In
determining the 3-Year Average Return on Capital for the Company in the year following the Rate
Change Year, the calculation shall be made as if such rate change were in effect for the entire
calculation period.




     2. Extraordinary Events. If, during the Plan Year, the Company experiences an
Extraordinary Event(s) that results in the Company recognizing a net after-tax gain or net
after-tax income (on a consolidated basis) with respect to such Extraordinary Event(s)
(“Extraordinary Income”), the Plan



 









 





Committee may reduce the Company Performance Bonus payable to Executive under this Agreement in its
sole and absolute discretion; provided however, that the Plan Committee may not reduce the bonus
payable to Executive under this Agreement to an amount less than the bonus Executive would have
earned if the Company did not include the Extraordinary Income in the calculation of Executive’s
bonus for the Plan Year.




     3. Payment. Within ninety (90) days following the end of the Plan Year, the Company
shall determine and the Plan Committee shall approve the amount of any bonus earned by Executive
under this Agreement. Such bonus shall be payable in the manner, at the times and in the amounts
provided in the Plan.



     4. Clawback of Bonus. In accordance with the Company’s incentive payment clawback
policy, in the event of a restatement of financial results (other than a restatement due to a
change in accounting policy) within thirty-six (36) months of the payment of a bonus under this
Agreement, if the Plan Committee determines in its sole and absolute discretion, that the bonus
paid to Executive under this Agreement for the Plan Year would have been lower had it been
calculated based on such restated results (the “Adjusted MIP Bonus”), then the Plan Committee shall
have the right, subject to applicable governing law, to recoup from Executive, in such form and at
such time as the Plan Committee determines in its sole and absolute discretion, the difference
between the amount previously paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement (without regard to
amounts deferred by Executive under the Company’s executive benefit plans) and the Adjusted MIP
Bonus (the “Excess Payment”). Executive hereby agrees that Executive shall promptly repay to the
Company the amount of any Excess Payment received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement at the
time or times and in the form determined by the Plan Committee.

year.

     6. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective only for the Plan Year.

respect to a Change of Control or as otherwise determined by the Committee, in its discretion, if
Executive is terminated, voluntarily or involuntarily, with or without cause, prior to the end of
the Plan Year, Executive shall not be entitled to any bonus for the Plan Year regardless of whether
or not such bonus had been or would have been earned in whole or in part, but any unpaid bonus
earned with respect to a prior fiscal year shall not be affected.



     8. Plan Provisions shall Govern. This Agreement is subject to and governed by the
Plan and in the case of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the contents of the
Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.



     9. Governing Law. The interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State

be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.



     11. Severability. Provided the other provisions of this Agreement do not frustrate the
purpose and intent of the law, in the event that any portion of this Agreement shall be determined
to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the same shall to that extent be deemed severable
from this Agreement, and the invalidity or unenforceability thereof shall not affect the validity
and enforceability of the remaining portion of this Agreement.



     12. Amendment and Termination. The Company may amend this Agreement at any time
without the approval of Executive up to and until the day that is ninety (90) days after the
beginning of the Plan Year. The Company may amend this Agreement at any time that is more than
ninety (90) days after the beginning of the Plan Year without the approval of the Executive;
provided however no amendments will be permitted to this Agreement that would directly or
indirectly cause the compensation under this Agreement to fail to qualify as “performance based
compensation” as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time
during the Plan Year and Executive shall not be entitled to any bonus under this Agreement for the
Plan Year regardless of when during the Plan Year this Agreement is terminated.
