PEPSICO LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD
 
SPECIAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS / PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
  These Terms and Conditions, along with the PepsiCo Restricted Stock Unit Award Summary and/or Performance Stock Unit Award Summary (each an “Award Summary”) delivered herewith and signed by the individual named on the Award Summary (the “Participant”), shall constitute an agreement (this “Agreement”) effective as of the “grant date” as indicated on the Award Summary (the “Grant Date”), by and between PepsiCo, Inc., a North Carolina corporation having its principal office at 700 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, New York 10577 (“PepsiCo,” and with its divisions and direct and indirect subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the Participant. 
W I T N E S S E T H: 
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors and shareholders of PepsiCo have approved the PepsiCo, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), for the purposes and subject to the provisions set forth in the Plan; 
WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted to it in the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of PepsiCo (the “Committee”) or its delegate authorized the grant to the Participant of the restricted stock units and/or performance stock units set forth on the applicable Award Summary on or prior to the Grant Date; and 
WHEREAS, awards granted under the Plan are to be evidenced by an Agreement in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. 
NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows: 
A. Terms and Conditions Applicable to Restricted Stock Units. 
These terms and conditions shall apply with respect to the restricted stock units granted to the Participant as indicated on the Restricted Stock Unit Award Summary. 
1. Grant. In consideration of the Participant remaining in the employ of the Company and agreeing to be bound by the covenants of Paragraph C, PepsiCo hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of restricted stock units indicated on the Restricted Stock Unit Award Summary (the “Restricted Stock Units”). 
2. Vesting.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of Restricted Stock Units specified on the Restricted Stock Unit Award Summary shall become vested on each vesting date as indicated on the Restricted Stock Unit Award Summary (each such date, a “Vesting Date”) and shall be paid as soon as practicable after the applicable Vesting Date.  Restricted Stock Units may vest only while the Participant is actively employed by the Company. 
3. Payment. Restricted Stock Units that vest and become payable shall be settled in shares of PepsiCo Common Stock with the Participant receiving one share of PepsiCo Common Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit. No fractional shares shall be delivered under this Agreement, and so any fractional share that may be payable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Any amount that the Company may be required to withhold upon the settlement of Restricted Stock Units and/or the payment 










1 











of dividend equivalents (see Paragraph A.5 below) in respect of applicable foreign, federal (including FICA), state and local taxes, must be paid in full at the time of the issuance of shares or payment of cash. Unless the Participant makes other arrangements to satisfy this withholding obligation in accordance with procedures approved by the Company in its discretion, the Company shall withhold shares to satisfy the required withholding obligation related to the settlement of Restricted Stock Units. 
4. Effect of Termination of Employment, Death, and Total Disability. 
(a) Termination of Employment. Restricted Stock Units may vest and become payable only while the Participant is actively employed by the Company. Thus, vesting ceases upon the termination of the Participant’s active employment with the Company. Subject to Paragraphs A.4(b), A.4(c) and A.4.(d), all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall automatically be forfeited and canceled upon the date that the Participant’s active employment with the Company terminates. An authorized severance leave of absence will not be treated as active employment, and, as a result, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units will not be extended by any such period. 
 (b) Death or Total Disability. If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of the Participant’s death or Total Disability (as defined below), then any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the Participant’s last day of active employment with the Company (which, for purposes of Total Disability, means the effective date of Total Disability) and will be paid as soon as practicable after that date, net of any Restricted Stock Units previously paid out. 
 (c) Transfers to a Related Entity. In the event the Participant transfers to a Related Entity (as defined below) and such transfer is arranged and approved by PepsiCo, the Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest (and their time of payment shall be determined) after such transfer by treating the Participant’s employment with the Related Entity as employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement.
(d) Other Termination. For purposes of clarity of Paragraph A.4(a) above, in the event that, prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant ceases active employment with the Company for any reason not specified in Paragraphs A.4(b) or A.4(c) above (such as the Participant’s resignation, retirement or involuntary termination with or without cause), then all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall automatically be forfeited and canceled upon the date that the Participant’s active employment with the Company terminates.
5. Dividend Equivalents. During the vesting period, the Participant shall accumulate dividend equivalents with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, which dividend equivalents shall be paid in cash (without interest) to the Participant only if and when the applicable Restricted Stock Units vest and become payable. Dividend equivalents shall equal the dividends actually paid with respect to PepsiCo Common Stock during the vesting period while (and to the extent) the Restricted Stock Units remain outstanding and unpaid. Upon the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units, any accumulated dividend equivalents attributable to such Restricted Stock Units shall also be forfeited.
B. Terms and Conditions Applicable to Performance Stock Units. These terms and conditions shall apply with respect to the performance stock units, if any, granted to the Participant as indicated on the Performance Stock Unit Award Summary. 


1. Grant. In consideration of the Participant remaining in the employ of the Company and agreeing to be bound by the covenants of Paragraph C, PepsiCo hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms and 














2 













conditions set forth herein, the target number of performance stock units as indicated on the Performance Stock Unit Award Summary (the “Performance Stock Units”).  
2. Vesting and Payment.  Performance Stock Units may only vest while the Participant is actively employed by the Company.  Subject to Paragraphs B.3 and B.4 below, the Performance Stock Units earned in accordance with Paragraph B.3 shall vest on the “vesting date” as indicated on the Performance Stock Unit Award Summary (each, a “Performance Stock Unit Vesting Date”) and be paid as soon as practicable after the applicable Performance Stock Unit Vesting Date (the “Payment Date”) (but in no event later than March 15 following the Performance Stock Unit Vesting Date).  Performance Stock Units that become earned and payable shall be settled in shares of PepsiCo Common Stock with the Participant receiving one share of PepsiCo Common Stock for each Performance Stock Unit earned.  No fractional shares shall be delivered under this Agreement, and so any fractional share that may be payable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Any amount that the Company may be required to withhold upon the settlement of Performance Stock Units and/or the payment of dividend equivalents (see Paragraph B.5 below) in respect of applicable foreign, federal (including FICA), state and local taxes, must be paid in full at the time of the issuance of shares or payment of cash. Unless the Participant makes other arrangements to satisfy this withholding obligation in accordance with procedures approved by the Company in its discretion, the Company will withhold shares to satisfy the required withholding obligation related to the settlement of Performance Stock Units.
3. Earning and Forfeiture of Performance Stock Units. 


The Participant can earn a percentage, within the range of percentages set forth on the Performance Stock Unit Award Summary, of the target number of Performance Stock Units granted hereunder.  The number of Performance Stock Units that are earned shall be determined based on the achievement of performance targets separately communicated to the Participant.  Any Performance Stock Units that are not earned in accordance with this Paragraph B.3 shall be forfeited and cancelled.  Notwithstanding the achievement of any performance targets established under this Paragraphs B.3, the Committee has the discretion to reduce the number of Performance Stock Units paid.  The Committee’s right to exercise this discretion with respect to all of the Performance Stock Units earned shall continue until the date on which the Performance Stock Units are paid to the Participant. Except in the case of death or Total Disability, the Performance Stock Units for which a Participant has satisfied the performance criteria will be payable in one payment as soon as practicable after each Vesting Date.
4. Effect of Termination of Employment, Death and Total Disability. 
(a) Termination of Employment. Performance Stock Units may vest and become payable only while the Participant is actively employed by the Company. Thus, vesting ceases upon the termination of the Participant’s active employment with the Company at any time prior to the Performance Stock Unit Vesting Date. Subject to Paragraphs B.4(b), B.4(c) and B.4(d), all unvested Performance Stock Units shall automatically be forfeited and canceled upon the date that the Participant’s active employment with the Company terminates if such termination occurs prior to the Performance Stock Unit Vesting Date.  An authorized severance leave of absence will not be treated as active employment, and, as a result, the vesting of Performance Stock Units will not be extended by any such period.
(b) Death or Total Disability.  If the Participant’s employment terminates by reason of death or Total Disability prior to the Performance Stock Unit Vesting Date, then the target number of Performance Stock Units that remain unvested shall become fully vested on the Participant’s last day of active employment with the Company (which, for purposes of Total Disability, means the effective date of Total Disability), and shall be paid as soon as practicable following the date of termination.  






3 













(c) Transfers to a Related Entity. In the event the Participant transfers to a Related Entity and such transfer is arranged and approved by PepsiCo prior to the Performance Stock Unit Vesting Date, the Performance Stock Units shall continue to vest (and their time of payment shall be determined) after such transfer by treating the Participant’s employment with the Related Entity as employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement. All such Performance Stock Units shall remain subject to the earning and forfeiture provisions of Paragraphs B.2 and B.3. 
(d) Other Termination. For purposes of clarity of Paragraph B.4(a) above, in the event that, prior to the Performance Stock Units Vesting Date, the Participant ceases active employment with the Company for any reason not specified in Paragraphs B.4(b) or B.4(c) above (such as the Participant’s resignation, retirement or involuntary termination with or without cause), then all unvested Performance Stock Units shall automatically be forfeited and canceled upon the date that the Participant’s active employment with the Company terminates.
5. Dividend Equivalents. During the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Performance Stock Unit Vesting Date, the Participant shall accumulate dividend equivalents with respect to the Performance Stock Units, which dividend equivalents shall be paid in cash (without interest) to the Participant only if and when the applicable Performance Stock Units vest and become payable.  Dividend equivalents shall equal the dividends actually paid with respect to PepsiCo Common Stock during such period while (and to the extent) the Performance Stock Units remain outstanding and unpaid.  For purposes of determining the dividend equivalents accumulated under this Paragraph B.5, any Performance Stock Units that become payable hereunder shall be considered to have been outstanding from the Grant Date.  Upon the forfeiture of Performance Stock Units, any accumulated dividend equivalents attributable to such Performance Stock Units shall also be forfeited.
6. No Rights as Shareholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a holder of PepsiCo Common Stock with respect to the Performance Stock Units granted hereunder unless and until such Performance Stock Units have been settled in shares of Common Stock that have been registered in the Participant’s name as owner.
C. Prohibited Conduct.  In consideration of the Company disclosing and providing access to Confidential Information, as more fully described in Paragraph C.2 below, after the date hereof, the grant by the Company of the Restricted Stock Units and/or Performance Stock Units, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Participant and the Company, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows.
 
1. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. The Participant hereby covenants and agrees that at all times during his or her employment with the Company and for a period of twelve months after the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever (including a termination due to the Participant’s retirement), he or she will not, without the prior written consent of PepsiCo’s chief human resources officer or chief legal officer, either directly or indirectly, for himself/herself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, partnership, corporation or other entity, engage in any activities prohibited in the following Paragraphs C.1(a) through (c): 
 
(a) The Participant shall not, in any country in which the Company operates, accept any employment, assignment, position or responsibility, provide services in any capacity, or acquire any ownership interest that involves the Participant’s Participation in an entity that markets, sells, distributes or produces Covered Products, unless such entity makes retail sales or consumes Covered Products without in any way competing with the Company; 
 








4 











(b) With respect to Covered Products, the Participant shall not directly or indirectly solicit for competitive business purposes any customer or Prospective Customer of the Company called on, serviced by, or contacted by the Participant in any capacity during his or her employment; or
 
(c) The Participant shall not in any way, directly or indirectly (including through someone else acting on the Participant’s recommendation, suggestion, identification or advice), solicit any Company employee to leave the Company’s employment or to accept any position with any other entity. 
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph C.1, the Participant shall not be considered to be in violation of Paragraph C.1(a) solely by reason of owning, directly or indirectly, up to five percent (5%) in the aggregate of any class of securities of any publicly traded corporation engaged in the prohibited activities described in Paragraph C.1(a).


2. Non-Disclosure. In order to assist the Participant with his or her duties, the Company shall continue to provide the Participant with access to confidential and proprietary operational information and other confidential information that is either information not known by actual or potential competitors, customers and third parties of the Company or is proprietary information of the Company (“Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information shall include all non-public information the Participant acquired as a result of his or her positions with the Company. Examples of such Confidential Information include, without limitation, non-public information about the Company’s customers, suppliers, distributors and potential acquisition targets; its business operations, structure and methods of operation; its product lines, formulae and pricing; its processes, machines and inventions; its research and know-how; its production techniques; its financial data; its advertising and promotional ideas and strategy; information maintained in its computer systems; devices, processes, compilations of information and records; and its plans and strategies.  The Participant agrees that such Confidential Information remains confidential even if committed to the Participant’s memory.  The Participant agrees, during the term of his or her employment and at all times thereafter, not to use, divulge, or furnish or make accessible to any third party, company, corporation or other organization (including but not limited to, customers or competitors of the Company), without the Company’s prior written consent, any Confidential Information of the Company, except as necessary in his or her position with the Company.  Nothing in this Agreement, the Plan, any other Award made under the Plan or in any other confidentiality provision to which the Participant may be subject as a result of the Participant’s employment with the Company shall prohibit the Participant from, without notice to the Company, communicating with government agencies, providing information to government agencies, participating in government agency investigations, filing a complaint with government agencies, or testifying in government agency proceedings concerning any possible legal violations or from receiving any monetary award for information provided to a government agency.  The Company nonetheless asserts and does not waive its attorney-client privilege over any information appropriately protected by the privilege.  Further, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.”


3. Return of Confidential Information and Company Property. The Participant agrees that whenever the Participant’s employment with the Company ends for any reason, (a) all documents containing or referring to the Company’s Confidential Information as may be in the Participant’s 




5 











possession, or over which the Participant may have control, and all other property of the Company provided to the Participant by the Company during the course of the Participant’s employment with the Company will be returned by the Participant to the Company immediately, with no request being required; and (b) all Company computer and computer-related equipment and software, and all Company property, files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, lists, equipment, and similar items relating to the business of the Company, whether prepared by the Participant or otherwise, coming into the Participant’s possession or control during the course of his employment shall remain the exclusive property of the Company, and shall be delivered by the Participant to the Company immediately, with no request being required.
 
4. Misconduct. During the term of his or her employment with the Company, the Participant shall not engage in any of the following acts that are considered to be contrary to the Company’s best interests: (a) breaching any contract with or violating any obligation to the Company, including the Company’s Code of Conduct, Insider Trading Policy or any other written policies of the Company, provided, however that nothing in this subsection is intended to bar the Participant from communicating with a governmental agency concerning any possible violations of law without notice to the Company, (b) unlawfully trading in the securities of PepsiCo or of any other company based on information gained as a result of his or her employment with the Company, (c) committing a felony or other serious crime, (d) engaging in any activity that constitutes gross misconduct in the performance of his or her employment duties, or (e) engaging in any action that constitutes gross negligence or misconduct and that causes or contributes to the need for an accounting adjustment to PepsiCo’s financial results. 
 
5. Reasonableness of Provisions. The Participant agrees that: (a) the terms and provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and constitute an otherwise enforceable agreement to which the terms and provisions of this Paragraph C are ancillary or a part of; (b) the consideration provided by the Company under this Agreement is not illusory; (c) the restrictions contained in this Paragraph C are necessary and reasonable for the protection of the legitimate business interests and goodwill of the Company; and (d) the consideration given by the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provision by the Company of Confidential Information to the Participant, gives rise to the Company’s interest in the covenants set forth in this Paragraph C.  
 
6. Repayment and Forfeiture. The Participant specifically recognizes and affirms that each of the covenants contained in Paragraphs C.1 through C.4 of this Agreement is a material and important term of this Agreement that has induced the Company to provide for the award of the Restricted Stock Units and/or Performance Stock Units granted hereunder, the disclosure of Confidential Information referenced herein, and the other promises made by the Company herein.  The Participant further agrees that in the event that (i) the Company determines that the Participant has breached any term of Paragraphs C.1 through C.4 or (ii) all or any part of Paragraph C is held or found invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between the Participant and the Company, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity the Company may have available to it, the Company may in its sole discretion: 
 
(a) cancel any unpaid Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock Units granted hereunder; and/or 
 
(b) require the Participant to pay to the Company the value (determined as of the date paid) of any Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock Units granted hereunder that have been paid out. 


In addition to the provisions of this Paragraph C.6, the Participant agrees that he or she will be bound by the terms of any Company compensation clawback policy applicable to the Participant that the Company may adopt from time to time.
 


6 











7. Equitable Relief. In the event the Company determines that the Participant has breached or attempted or threatened to breach any term of Paragraph C, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity the Company may have available to it, it is agreed that the Company shall be entitled, upon application to any court of proper jurisdiction, to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction (without the necessity of (a) proving irreparable harm, (b) establishing that monetary damages are inadequate or (c) posting any bond with respect thereto) against the Participant prohibiting such breach or attempted or threatened breach by proving only the existence of such breach or attempted or threatened breach.
8. Extension of Restrictive Period. The Participant agrees that the period during which the covenants contained in this Paragraph C shall be effective shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Participant is in violation of any provision of Paragraph C.
9. Acknowledgments. The Company and the Participant agree that it was their intent to enter into a valid and enforceable agreement.  The Participant and the Company thereby acknowledge the reasonableness of the restrictions set forth in Paragraph C, including the reasonableness of the geographic area, duration as to time and scope of activity restrained.  The Participant further acknowledges that his or her skills are such that he or she can be gainfully employed in noncompetitive employment and that the agreement not to compete will not prevent him or her from earning a living.  The Participant agrees that if any covenant contained in Paragraph C of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to contain limitations as to time, geographical area, or scope of activity that are not reasonable and impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of the Company, then the court shall reform the covenant to the extent necessary to cause the limitations contained in the covenant as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained to be reasonable and to impose a restraint that is not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interests of the Company and to enforce the covenants as reformed.
10. Provisions Independent. The covenants on the part of the Participant in this Paragraph C shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other agreement, including any employee benefit agreement, and independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants.
11. Notification of Subsequent Employer. The Participant agrees that the Company may notify any person or entity employing the Participant or evidencing an intention of employing the Participant of the existence and provisions of this Agreement.
12. Transfers to a Related Entity. In the event the Participant transfers to a Related Entity as a result of actions by PepsiCo, any reference to “Company” in this Paragraph C shall be deemed to refer to such Related Entity in addition to the Company. 
D. Additional Terms and Conditions. 
1. Adjustment for Change in Common Stock. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of PepsiCo Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, spin-off or other similar corporate change, the number and type of shares to which the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock Units held by the Participant relate shall be adjusted, as may be, and to such extent (if any), determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee.








7 









 
2. Nontransferability. Unless the Committee specifically determines otherwise: (a) the Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units are personal to the Participant, and (b) Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units shall not be transferable or assignable, other than in the case of the Participant’s death by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void. 
 
3. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: 
(a) “Covered Products” means any product that falls into one or more of the following categories, so long as the Company is producing, marketing, selling or licensing such product anywhere in the world: beverages, including without limitation carbonated soft drinks, tea, water, juice drinks, sports drinks, coffee drinks, energy drinks and value added dairy drinks; juices and juice products; dairy products; snacks, including salty snacks, sweet snacks, meat snacks, granola and cereal bars, and cookies; hot cereals; pancake mixes; value-added rice products; pancake syrup; value-added pasta products; ready-to-eat cereals; dry pasta products; or any product or service that the Participant had reason to know was under development by the Company during the Participant’s employment with the Company.
 
(b) “Participation” shall be construed broadly to include, without limitation: (i) serving as a director, officer, employee consultant or contractor with respect to such a business entity; (ii) providing input, advice, guidance or suggestions to such a business entity; or (iii) providing a recommendation or testimonial on behalf of such a business entity or one or more products it produces. 


(c) “Prospective Customer” shall mean any individual or entity of which the Participant has gained knowledge as a result of the Participant’s employment with the Company and with which the Participant dealt with or had contact with during the six (6) months preceding his or her termination of employment with the Company. 


(d) “Related Entity” shall mean any entity (i) as to which PepsiCo directly or indirectly owns 20% or more, but less than a majority, of the entity’s voting securities, general partnership interests, or other voting or management rights at the relevant time and (ii) which the Committee or its delegate deems in its sole discretion to be a related entity at the relevant time.
   
(e) “Total Disability” shall mean being considered totally disabled under the PepsiCo Long-Term Disability Program (as amended and restated from time to time), with such status having resulted in benefit payments from such plan or another Company-sponsored disability plan and 12 months having elapsed since the Participant was so considered to be disabled from the cause of the current disability. The effective date of a Participant’s Total Disability shall be the first day that all of the foregoing requirements are met.
 
4. Notices. Any notice to be given to PepsiCo in connection with the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to PepsiCo at 700 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, New York 10577, Attention: Senior Vice President, Total Rewards, or such other address as PepsiCo may hereafter designate to the Participant. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, addressed as aforesaid, or when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper, addressed as aforesaid, and deposited, postage prepaid, with the federal postal service. 
 
5. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any assignee or successor in interest to PepsiCo, whether by merger, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of PepsiCo’s assets. PepsiCo will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of PepsiCo expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that PepsiCo would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  This Agreement shall be binding 




8 







upon and inure to the benefit of the Participant or his or her legal representative and any person to whom the Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units may be transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 
 
6. No Contract of Employment; Agreement’s Survival. This Agreement is not a contract of employment.  This Agreement does not impose on the Company any obligation to retain the Participant in its employ and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company to terminate the Participant’s employment relationship at any time. This Agreement shall survive the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason. If an entity ceases to be a majority-owned subsidiary of PepsiCo for purposes of Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act or a Related Entity, such cessation shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be a termination of employment with the Company with respect to any Participant employed by such entity, unless the Committee or its delegate determines otherwise in its sole discretion.
 
7. Registration, Listing and Qualification of Shares. The Committee may require that the Participant make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Committee deems appropriate to assure compliance with or exemption from the requirements of any securities exchange, any foreign, federal, state or local law, any governmental regulatory body, or any other applicable legal requirement, and PepsiCo Common Stock shall not be issued unless and until the Participant makes such representations and agreements and furnished such information as the Committee deems appropriate. 


8. Amendment; Waiver. The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended in writing by the chief human resources officer or chief legal officer of PepsiCo (or either of their delegates); provided, however, that (i) no such amendment shall adversely affect  the awards granted hereunder without the Participant’s written consent (except to the extent the Committee reasonably determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder pertaining to the deferral of compensation, or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which PepsiCo Common Stock is listed or quoted); and (ii) the amendment must be permitted under the Plan. The Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or failure to exercise, or any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or any such right, power or remedy which the Board, the Committee or the Company has under this Agreement. 
 
9. Severability or Reform by Court. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed by a court to be broader than permitted by applicable law, then such provision shall be reformed (or otherwise revised or narrowed) so that it is enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by a court to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. 
 
10. Plan Terms. The Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock Units and the terms and conditions set forth herein are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any guidelines, policies or regulations which govern administration of the Plan. The Committee reserves its rights to amend or terminate the Plan at any time without the consent of the Participant; provided, however, that Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units outstanding under the Plan at the time of such action shall not, without the Participant’s written consent, be adversely affected thereby (except to the extent the Committee reasonably determines that such amendment or termination is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including the provisions of Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder pertaining to the deferral of compensation, or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which PepsiCo Common Stock is listed or quoted). All interpretations or determinations of the Committee or its delegate shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant (and his or her legal representatives and any recipient of a transfer of the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock Units 






9 







permitted by this Agreement) on any question arising hereunder or under the Plan or other guidelines, policies or regulations which govern administration of the Plan. 
 
11. Participant Acknowledgements. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that: 
 
(a) the Performance Stock Units and/or Restricted Stock Unit grant 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 Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units already granted under the Plan);

(i) the non-disclosure provisions set forth in Paragraph C.2. supersede and replace in their entirety the non-disclosure provisions set forth in the Plan as in effect on the date hereof, in any agreement evidencing an Award made under the Plan and in any other Awards made under the Plan.
 
12. Right of Set-Off.
