 4. Eligibility. 
 (a) General. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from all Eligible Participants those to whom Awards shall be granted under Section 7 and shall determine the nature and
amount of each Award. Only Non-Employee Directors shall be eligible to receive Awards under Section 8. 
 (b) International

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. 
 5. 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. 
  

 5 

 (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. 
 6. 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. 
 7. 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. 
  

 6 

 (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 shall be 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, and by rounding up any fractional share to a whole share. The rights provided by this provision are the exclusive rights that are
available with respect to any Option in the event of a buy out, notwithstanding the terms of any outstanding agreement. 
 (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. 
  

 7 

 (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. 
 (c) Restricted Shares / Restricted Share Units. 
 (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. The payment date shall be as soon as practicable after the earliest
of (A) any vesting date that can be pre-determined at grant under the terms of an Award Agreement, and (B) the occurrence date of an applicable vesting event (e.g., death, total disability, approved transfer or retirement) specified in the
applicable award agreement. 
 (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 

  

 8 

 
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) Ownership of Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares shall be
registered in the name of the Participant subject to the applicable restrictions. At the end of the Restriction Period, the number of shares to which the Participant is then entitled shall be delivered to the Participant free and clear of the
restrictions, either in certificated or uncertificated form. No shares shall be registered in the name of the Participant 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

 (ii) A retainer fee of $120,000 for each Non-Employee Director who is the chairman of a committee of the Board or who is the

 10 

 
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

 (iii) Subject to
subparagraph (iv) below, each Restricted Share Unit granted to a Non-Employee Director on or after October 1, 2003 and before October 1, 2006 shall vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Shares of Common Stock granted to a
Non-Employee Director on or after October 1, 2006 shall be immediately vested at grant. However, a Non-Employee Director may not transfer beneficial ownership or sell such shares prior to when the Non-Employee Director terminates membership on
the Board (except that this transfer restriction shall not prohibit: (A) PepsiCo’s retaining shares to satisfy required tax withholding under Section 12(e)(ii), and (B) intra-family transfers permitted by the Committee).

 (iv) In the event a Non-Employee Director terminates membership on the Board prior to the vesting date of an Award,

of an event other than death, Total Disability or Retirement, such unvested Award shall immediately terminate and expire. 
 (v) 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. 
  

 11 

 (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 Non-Employee director shall become the owner of the shares of Common Stock subject to an Option only after the Option Exercise Price and the
applicable taxes have been paid. 
 9. 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.

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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in
the event that any Option granted under the Plan becomes unexercisable during its term on or after a Change in Control because: (i) the individual who holds such Option is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) within two
(2) years after the Change in Control; (ii) such Option is terminated or adversely modified; or (iii) Common Stock is no longer issued and outstanding, or no longer traded on a national securities exchange, then the holder of such
Option shall immediately be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to (A) the gain on such Option or (B) only if greater than the gain and only with respect to NQSOs the Black-Scholes value of such Option (as determined by a
nationally recognized independent investment banker chosen by PepsiCo), in either case calculated on the date such Option becomes unexercisable; provided that such lump sum cash payment shall be limited as necessary to prevent the Option from being
subject to Code Section 409A. 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 (or if not a
trading date, as of the preceding trading date) less the Option Exercise Price. 
 (ii) 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. In the event that any SAR granted under the Plan becomes unexercisable during its term on or after a Change in Control because: (i) the individual who holds such SAR is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) within
two (2) years after the Change in Control; (ii) such SAR is terminated or adversely modified; or (iii) Common 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 (or if not a trading date, as of the preceding trading date) and the purchase price per share of Common Stock covered by the SAR. 
 (iii) 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. 
  

 13 

 (iv) 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. 
 (b) Impact on Awards Granted on or After February 2, 2007.
Upon a Change in Control, the following shall apply with respect to Awards granted under the Plan on or after February 2, 2007: 
 (i) If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan (A) are assumed by the successor corporation (or affiliate thereto) or (B) are replaced with equity awards that preserve the existing
value of the Awards at the time of the Change in Control and provide for subsequent payout in accordance with a vesting schedule and Performance Goals, as applicable, that are the same or more favorable to the Participants than the vesting schedule
and Performance Goals applicable to the Awards, then all such Awards or such substitutes thereof shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provision of the Plan subject to Section 11(b)(iv) below. 
 (ii) If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed or replaced in accordance with
Section 11(b)(i) above, then upon the Change in Control the following treatment (referred to as “Change-in-Control Treatment”) shall apply to such Awards: (A) outstanding Options and SARs shall immediately vest and become
exercisable; (B) the restrictions and other conditions applicable to outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units and Stock Awards, including vesting requirements, shall immediately lapse; such Awards shall be free of all restrictions
and fully vested; and, with respect to Restricted Share Units, shall be payable immediately in accordance with their terms or, if later, as of the earliest permissible date under Code Section 409A; and (C) outstanding Performance Awards
granted under the Plan shall immediately vest and shall become immediately payable in accordance with their terms as if 100% of the Performance Goals have been achieved. 
 (iii) If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed or replaced in accordance with Section 11(b)(i) above, then in connection with the application of the
Change-in-Control Treatment set forth in Section 11(b)(ii) above, the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide for cancellation of such outstanding Awards at the time of the Change in Control in which case a payment of cash, property or a
combination thereof shall be made to each such Participant upon the consummation of the Change in Control that is determined by the Board in its sole discretion and that is at least equal to the excess (if any) of the value of the consideration that
would be received in such Change in Control by the holders of PepsiCo’s securities relating to such Awards over the exercise or purchase price (if any) for such Awards. 
 (iv) If and to the extent that (A) outstanding Awards are assumed or replaced in accordance with Section 11(b)(i) above and (B) a Participant’s employment with, or
performance of services for, the Company is terminated by the Company for any reasons 

  

 14 

 
other than Cause or by such Participant for Good Reason, in each case, within the two-year period commencing on the Change in Control, then, as of the date
of such Participant’s termination, the Change-in-Control Treatment set forth in Section 11(b)(ii) above shall apply to all assumed or replaced Awards of such Participant then outstanding. 
 (v) Outstanding Options or SARs that are assumed or replaced in accordance with Section 11(b)(i) may be exercised by the
Participant in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award as set forth in the applicable award agreement or elsewhere; provided, however, that Options or SARs that become exercisable in accordance with Section 11(b)(iv)
may be exercised until the expiration of the original full term of such Option or SAR notwithstanding the other original terms and conditions of such Award. 
 (c) Timing of Payment. Any amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 11 shall be paid as soon as practical after the date such amount becomes payable (but not later than 60 days after such
date, and the Participant may not determine the time of payment). 
 (d) Definition of Change in Control. “Change in
Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) acquisition of 20% or more of the outstanding voting securities of PepsiCo, Inc. by another entity or group; excluding, however, the following (A) any acquisition by

“Board”) at the beginning of the period cease to constitute at least 50% of the Board (unless the election of each new Board member was approved by a majority of directors who began the two-year period); (iii) PepsiCo, Inc.
shareholders approve a merger or consolidation of PepsiCo, Inc. with another company, and PepsiCo, Inc. is not the surviving company; or, if after such transaction, the other entity owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding voting
securities of PepsiCo, Inc.; (iv) PepsiCo, Inc. shareholders approve a plan of complete liquidation of PepsiCo, Inc. or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of PepsiCo, Inc.’s assets; or (v) any other event,

Participant with respect to a felony; or (iii) the Participant’s continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties with the Company (other than by reason of the Participant’s disability) after written demand by the Company
that identifies the manner in which the Company believes that the Participant has not performed his or her duties. A termination for Cause must be communicated to the Participant by written notice that specifies the event or events claimed to
provide a basis for termination for Cause. 
  

 15 

 (f) Definition of Good Reason. For purposes of this Section 11, “Good Reason”
means with respect to any Participant, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, without the Participant’s written consent, (i) the Company’s requiring a material change in the Participant’s principal place of
employment as it existed immediately prior to the Change in Control except for reasonably required travel on the Company’s business that is not materially greater than such travel requirements prior to the Change in Control (for this purpose, a
change of 35 or fewer miles shall not be considered a material change in the Participant’s principal place of employment); (ii) a material reduction in the Participant’s compensation (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §
1.409A-1(n)(2)(ii)(A)(2)) as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; or (iii) a material reduction in the Participant’s job responsibilities, authority or duties with the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Change

be tendered within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such event or events and provided further that the Company shall have failed to remedy such act or omission within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice. A
Participant’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder if the Participant actually terminates employment within fourteen
(14) days after the Company’s failure to timely remedy or, if earlier, prior to the second anniversary of the Change in Control. 
 (g) Exclusive Rights. The rights provided by this Section are the exclusive rights that are available with respect to any Award in the event of a Change in Control. 
 12. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 (a) Misconduct. 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

 (d) Assignment or Transfer. Unless the Committee shall specifically determine otherwise, or except as otherwise provided under the Plan,
no Award under the Plan or 

  

 16 

 
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: (i) the transfer restrictions for
Non-Employee Directors in Section 8(e)(iii) above; and (ii) 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. 
 (i) Eligible Participants. PepsiCo shall have the right to deduct from all Awards paid in cash to an Eligible Participant any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such Awards. All
legally required withholding taxes arising with respect to Awards paid in Common Stock to a an Eligible Participant shall be satisfied by PepsiCo retaining shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined
that is equal to the amount of such required withholding (rounded, if necessary, to the next highest whole number of shares of Common Stock). Such withholding shall also apply in connection with Option exercises, except to the extent that the
Eligible Participant provides for satisfying it through cash proceeds from the exercise transaction. 
 (ii) Non-Employee Directors. Federal income tax withholding at 25% (or such higher rate as may be legally required) and all other tax withholding that is legally required with respect to Awards to a Non-Employee Director of
vested shares of Common Stock shall be satisfied by PepsiCo retaining shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, on the date such Common Stock is taxable to the Non-Employee Director, that is equal to the amount of such withholding (rounded,
if necessary, to the next highest whole number of shares of PepsiCo Common Stock). 
 (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. 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. 
  

 17 

 (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. 
 (m) Compliance with Code Section 409A. The Plan is
intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and any regulations or guidance that may be adopted thereunder from time to time, including any transition relief available under applicable guidance related to Code Section 409A.
Accordingly, to ensure the exemption from Code Section 409A of potentially exempt Awards and the compliance with Code Section 409A of other Awards, any payment that under the terms of the Plan or an agreement is to be made as soon as
practicable relative to a date shall be made not later than 60 days after such date, and the Participant may not determine the time of payment. Pursuant to Section 13(b), the Plan may be amended or interpreted by the Committee as it determines
necessary or appropriate in accordance with Code Section 409A and to avoid a plan failure under Code Section 409A(a)(1). 
  

 18 

 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.

 3.2 Participation. Participants shall be those executives of the Company or of an Affiliate who satisfy the criteria established from time to time by the Committee. The current criteria are set forth on
Schedule B hereto. No Executive whose compensation is disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for a particular year may be a Participant in the Plan for such year unless and until the Committee determines otherwise. 
 SECTION 4. Severance Benefits  
 4.1 Benefits. If there is a Termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate without Cause (other than by reason of death or Total Disability) during the two-year period
following a Change in Control, such Participant shall be entitled to the benefits provided in this Section 4. 
  

	 	 a.
	 Lump Sum Payment. Subject to Section 4.2, following the Termination Date, the Company shall promptly pay such Participant a cash lump sum
equal to two times the total of the Participant’s Base Salary and Target Bonus. 

  

	 	 b.
	 Bonus Payment. Following the Termination Date, the Company shall also promptly pay such Participant a cash lump sum equal to the Participant’s
Target Bonus for the year in which the Termination Date occurs. 

  

	 	 c.
	 Deferred Compensation Plan Payment. Subject to any restrictions that are applicable to ensure continued compliance under Section 409A of the
Code, the Company intends to have the maximum discretionary authority to terminate the Company’s Executive Income Deferral Program and make distributions in connection with a change in control (as defined in Section 409A), and the maximum
flexibility with respect to how and to what extent to carry this out following a change in control (as defined in Section 409A) as is permissible under Section 409A. 

  

	 	 d.
	 Continued Health and Welfare Benefits. For two years following Termination, the Company or an Affiliate shall provide such Participant with 

  

 4 

	 	 
medical, dental, vision/hearing, accident, life, and short-term and long-term disability insurance coverages at the level provided to the Participant
immediately prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that if the Participant becomes employed by a new employer, the Participant’s coverage under the applicable Company or Affiliate plans shall continue, but the Participant’s
coverage thereunder shall be secondary to (i.e., reduced by) any benefits provided under like plans of such new employer and, provided further that all claims must be submitted not later than six months after the underlying expense is incurred, and
all reimbursements must be made not later than the year following when the expense is incurred. The Participant shall pay any employee contribution required for active employees as in effect from time to time at and after the Termination Date.

  

	 	 e.
	 Payment of Earned but Unpaid Amounts. After the Termination Date, the Company shall promptly pay the Participant earned but unpaid compensation in
accordance with the applicable terms of the plans or programs governing such compensation. 

 4.2 Offset of Severance
Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the following two sentences, if a Participant is entitled to receive severance benefits from the Company or an Affiliate under any other agreement (including offer letters), plan or
statute, any payments that are payable under this Section 4 will be offset by any payments due under such agreement, plan or statute. To the extent that compliance with Section 409A of the Code would require that payments payable under
this Section 4 cause an offset against such other payment, then such other payment shall be offset instead. Such other payment shall also be offset to the extent that the availability of an exception from 409A would require this result,
provided that doing so does not result in non-compliance with section 409A. 
 4.3 Parachute Limitation. If payments or
distributions by the Company to or for the benefit of a Participant, whether or not paid or distributed pursuant to this Plan or otherwise (the “Total Payments”), would subject the Participant to an excise tax under Section 4999 of
the Code (such excise tax, together with any interest and penalties thereon, being referred to as the Excise Tax”) on “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code and the regulations related thereto
(“Section 280G”)), then the Participant shall be entitled to an additional payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by the Participant of all taxes, including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the
Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed on the Total Payments; provided, however, that if the amount of the Total Payments that exceeds three times the Participant’s
“base amount” (as defined in Section 280G) is less than $25,000, then the Total Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the Total Payments would not subject the Participant to any Excise Tax. Subject to the next
sentence, in the event such reduction is necessary with respect to a Participant, the Company shall reduce the Participant’s Total Payments by first reducing the Participant’s Total Payments that are not payable in such case. However,
compensation that is covered by Code Section 409A, 

  

 5 

 
and to which the Participant has a legally binding right within the meaning of Section 409A, shall not be reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence.
Any calculation required by this Section 4.3 shall utilize tax rates reasonably related to a Participant’s anticipated total tax liabilities. Each Gross-Up Payment required to be made by the Company to a Participant hereunder shall be paid
no later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Participant remits the corresponding taxes to the Internal Revenue Service. 
 4.4 Pension and 401(k) Plans. A Participant will continue to accrue pension benefits under the Company’s or an Affiliate’s tax qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for a
period of one year from the Termination Date, provided that any such accruals, which would be for a period after the Participant has separated from service within the meaning of Code Section 401(a), shall only be made under a non-qualified
defined benefit pension plan. After the Participant’s Termination Date, such Participant may not continue contributions to the Company’s or an Affiliate’s 401(k) Plan. 
 SECTION 5 Mitigation  
 A Participant shall not be
required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for under this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, and compensation earned from such employment or otherwise shall not reduce the amounts payable under this Plan. Benefits under the
Plan (other than benefits that are covered by Code Section 409A) shall be offset by any amounts owed by the Participant to the Company or an Affiliate, such as expense advances or the value of property which has not been returned. 

SECTION 6 Misconduct  
 If the Committee or its delegate determines that a Participant has at any time prior to the Participant’s Termination Date: 
  

	 	 a.
	 accepted employment with a Competing Business; 

  

	 	 b.
	 recruited or hired away employees of the Company; 

  

	 	 c.
	 disclosed to an unauthorized person or misused Confidential Information of the Company, 

 then the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold payments to a Participant under this Plan. In the case of compensation covered by Code
Section 409A, the Company shall act in compliance with Section 409A when withholding payments to a Participant. 
 SECTION 7
Source and Payment of Benefits  
 This Plan is unfunded and benefits hereunder shall be paid by the Company from
its general assets. 
  

 6 

 SECTION 8 Disputes  
 Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Plan, or a final denial of a claim hereunder, shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in the state of the Company’s
headquarters, in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. 
 SECTION 9 Withholding
 
 The Company will, to the extent required by law, withhold applicable federal, state and local income and other taxes from
any payments due to the Participant hereunder. 
 SECTION 10 Amendment and Termination of Plan  
 10.1 The Committee may at any time terminate, or from time to time amend the Plan; provided, however, that the Plan may not be terminated or amended
after a Change in Control. 
 10.2 No amendment of the Plan shall, without a Participant’s express written consent, impair any of the
benefits accrued or payable to a Participant under the Plan. 
 SECTION 11 Miscellaneous Provisions  

11.1 Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of North Carolina without giving effect to
the principles of choice of law thereof. 
 11.2 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Plan shall
be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and the Participant and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. If the Company shall be merged into or consolidated with another
entity, the provisions of this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the entity surviving such merger or resulting from such consolidation. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall continue to apply to each subsequent employer of the Participant hereunder in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation or
transfer of assets of such subsequent employer. 
 11.3 No Implied Employment. Nothing contained in this Plan, nor any decision
as to the eligibility for severance pay or the determination of the amount of any benefits hereunder, shall be construed to confer upon any Participant, or any other individual, any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or to be rehired,
and the right and power of the Company to dismiss or discharge any Participant or any other individual for any reason is specifically reserved. 
  

 7 

 11.4 No Assignment or Alienation of Benefits. The benefits payable under this Plan shall
not be subject to assignment or alienation by the Participant or his or her beneficiaries, nor shall the benefits be subject to attachment. Any attempt to assign, alienate, transfer, pledge, encumber, commute or anticipate Plan benefits shall be
void; no such interest shall be in any manner subject to levy, attachment or other legal process to enforce payment of any claim against a Participant, except to the extent required by law. 
 11.5 Invalidity. In the event of any provision of this Plan is held to be illegal or invalid, the remaining provisions of this Plan shall not be affected thereby. 
 11.6 Section 409A. The following provisions are intended to apply notwithstanding other provisions of this Plan. 
  

	 	 a.
	 If any compensation or benefits provided by this Plan may result in the application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall modify the Plan in the
least restrictive manner necessary in order to exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A or in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other
applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and without any diminution in the value of the payments to the Participants. 

  

	 	 b.
	 To ensure the exemption from Section 409A of potentially exempt benefits and the compliance with Section 409A of other benefits, any payment that under
the terms of the Plan is to be made promptly shall be made not later than 60 days after the Participant’s Termination Date and the Participant may not determine the time of payment (except that any compensation that is payable to a Key Employee
and covered by Section 409A shall be paid six months after the Key Employee’s Termination Date). 

  

	 	 c.
	 The lump sum payment provided by Section 4.1a and the Target Bonus payment provided by Section 4.1b are intended to be exempt from Section 409A
under the exception for short-term deferrals. The first 18 months of medical, dental and vision/hearing continuation under Section 4.1d are intended to be exempt from Section 409A under the exception for health coverage continued in
connection with employment termination. Benefits related to coverage for the period in excess of 18 months are intended to comply with Section 409A (and so, as a matter of caution, it is noted that these payments may not be provided to a Key
Employee within six months of the Key Employee’s Termination Date). Continued accident insurance coverage is intended to be exempt from Section 409A as a tax-exempt welfare benefit. Continued life and disability coverage are intended to be
exempt from Section 409A as exempt death benefits and 

  

 8 

	 	 
disability pay. The terms of this Plan shall be interpreted to permit categories of compensation that are intended to be exempt from Section 409A to be
exempt in practice. With respect to other compensation provided under the Plan that is covered by Section 409A, the terms of this Plan shall be interpreted to permit such compensation to comply with Section 409A.
