Dear [Grantee]:

In recognition of your long-term commitment to SYSCO and its customers and of your expected future
contributions to our corporate financial objectives, you have been granted [___] “performance
units” under the SYSCO Corporation 2004 Long-Term Incentive Cash Plan (the “Plan”). The value
assigned to each of your performance units is $35.00.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, these performance units represent your right to
receive a cash bonus of up to 150% of the total value of your units, consisting of two components.
Any bonus payable will equal the sum of:

(A) up to 75% of the total value of your units, if and to the extent that SYSCO
attains certain increases in net after-tax earnings per share during the
“performance period” (July 3, 2005 through June 28, 2008), set by the Compensation
and Stock Option Committee of SYSCO’s Board of Directors; plus

(B) up to 75% of the total value of your units, if and to the extent that SYSCO
attains certain increases in sales (as adjusted to reflect product cost inflation
or deflation) during the performance period, set by the Compensation and Stock
Option Committee.

Enclosed for your review are copies of the Plan document, a beneficiary designation form,
instructions for completing the beneficiary designation form and other explanatory materials. All
of the enclosed documents are important legal documents that should be reviewed carefully and kept
in a safe place. If you are a new participant or would like to change your designated beneficiary
under the Plan, please complete the enclosed beneficiary designation form as soon as possible, and
return it to Connie Brooks. If you completed the beneficiary designation form last year, you do
not have to complete it again this year unless you want to change your designated beneficiary.

Thank you for your hard work and service. Your efforts, which are an integral part of SYSCO’s
growth and progress, are deeply appreciated. If you should have any questions about your
performance unit grant or the Plan, please contact Mike Nichols.

FISCAL YEAR 2007

2005 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

BONUS AGREEMENT

     This SYSCO CORPORATION FISCAL YEAR 2007 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN BONUS AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) was adopted by the Plan Committee pursuant to the Sysco Corporation 2005 Management
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1) and agreed to by the
Company and                      (“Executive”) effective                     , 2006. This Agreement is effective
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 (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 the Plan for the Plan Year
shall be based on a combination of the performance of (a) the Company as a whole (a “Company
Performance Bonus”); and (b) one or more Operating Companies as designated by the Plan Committee
(an “OpCo Performance Bonus”). 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
___% and a Return on Stockholder’s Equity of at least ___%.

          (a) Calculation of Company Performance Bonus. Subject to the further adjustments and
additions provided for in the Plan and this Agreement, Executive’s Company Performance Bonus for
the 2007 fiscal year shall be equal to the product of: (i) Executive’s MIP Salary; and (B) 70% of
the Table B Percentage.

          (b) Calculation of OpCo Performance Bonus. Subject to the further adjustments and
additions provided for in the Plan and this Agreement Executive’s OpCo Performance Bonus will be
calculated by determining the number of Operating Companies of the Company that have attained a
Return on Capital of at least ___% (the “ROC Target”). If at least 20 Operating Companies have
attained or exceeded the ROC Target, and all Operating Companies which have attained or exceeded
the ROC Target employ at least 50% or more of the aggregate of the Total Capital of all Operating
Companies, then Executive will be entitled to receive an OpCo Performance Bonus equal to the
product of: (i) the sum of (A) 9% for the first 20 Operating Companies which attain or exceed the
ROC Target; and (B) 11/2% of for each additional Operating Company which attains or exceeds the ROC
Target; and (ii) Executive’s MIP Salary. By way of example, if 23 Operating Companies (which, in
the aggregate, employ 51% of the Total Capital of all Operating Companies) attain or exceed the ROC
Target, Executive will receive an OpCo Performance Bonus equal to the product of (i) Executive’s
MIP Salary and (ii) 13.5 % (the sum of 9% for the first 20 Operating Companies attaining or
exceeding the ROC Target, and 4.5% for the performance of the additional three Operating Companies
in excess of 20 attaining or exceeding the ROC Target).

          (c) 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
Table B Percentage for Executive in the year following the GAAP Change Year, the calculation shall
be made after taking into account such change in GAAP.

               (ii) No Limit on Bonus. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1(c)(ii), there
is no limit to the bonus that can be earned under the Plan or this Agreement. Although Tables A and
B have only been calculated to 370% and 172%, respectively, the “grids” shall be deemed to continue
to

 

 

increase in the same ratios as set forth. However, notwithstanding the foregoing and any other
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive’s bonus amount for the Plan Year including,
if applicable, the value of any Additional Shares and Additional Cash Bonus) cannot exceed 1% of
the Company’s earnings before income taxes as publicly disclosed in the “Consolidated Results of
Operations” section of 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 fiscal year
and, as a result of such amendment(s), the effective tax rate applicable to the earnings of the
Company (as described in the “Summary of Accounting Policies” section of the Company’s annual
report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K) changes during the year, the
calculation of the net after-tax earnings per share of the Company for the Plan Year shall be made
as if such rate change had not occurred during the Plan Year.

     2. Extraordinary Events. If, during the Plan Year, the Company experiences an
Extraordinary Event or Events that results in the Company recognizing a net-after tax gain with
respect to such Extraordinary Event or Events (an “Extraordinary Gain”), 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 Company
Performance Bonus payable to Executive to an amount less than the Company Performance Bonus
Executive would have earned if the Company did not include the Extraordinary Gain in the
calculation of the Company Performance Bonus for the Plan Year.

     3. Payment. Within 90 days following the end of each fiscal 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.
