ARTICLE I –
FOREWORD
YUM! Brands, Inc. (the “Company”)
established the YUM! Brands Leadership Retirement Plan (the
“Plan”) to benefit selected executives who are not
eligible to participate in the YUM! Brands Retirement
Plan. The Plan was effective as of April 1, 2002, and it
was originally known as the Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan.
This document is effective as of January 1, 2005
(the “Effective Date”). Effective January 1,
2008, this document was amended and restated to add additional
eligible executives and make certain other design
changes. In December 2008, this document was further
amended and restated to make certain changes for Section 409A and
other items.
This document sets forth the terms of the Plan
that are applicable to benefits that are subject to Section 409A,
i.e. , generally, benefits that are earned or vested after
December 31, 2004 (the “409A
Program”). Other benefits under the Plan shall be
governed by a separate set of documents that set forth the
pre-Section 409A terms of the Plan (the “Pre-409A
Program”). Together, this document and the
documents for the Pre-409A Program describe the terms of a single
plan. However, amounts subject to the terms of this 409A
Program and amounts subject to the terms of the Pre-409A Program
shall be tracked separately at all times. The
preservation of the terms of the Pre-409A Program, without material
modification, and the separation between the 409A Program amounts
and the Pre-409A Program amounts are intended to be sufficient at
all times to permit the Pre-409A Program to remain exempt from
Section 409A.
With respect to benefits covered by this
document, this document sets forth the terms of the Plan,
specifying the group of executives of the Company and certain
affiliated employers who are eligible to participate and the
Plan’s general provisions for determining and distributing
benefits. Additional and alternate provisions applicable
to certain eligible executive’s benefits are set forth in the
Appendix.
The Plan is unfunded and unsecured for purposes
of the Code and ERISA. The benefits of an executive are
an obligation of that executive’s individual
employer. With respect to his employer, the executive
has the rights of an unsecured general creditor.
ARTICLE II –
DEFINITIONS
When used in this Plan, the following bold terms
shall have the meanings set forth below unless a different meaning
is plainly required by the context:
The date as of which an Employer Credit is
credited to the Participant’s LRP Account. Except
as otherwise provided in the Appendix for one or more specific
Participants, the last business day of each Plan Year shall be an
Allocation Date. In addition, when a Participant no
longer is an active Participant, the last day of the calendar
quarter containing his Termination Date shall also be an Allocation
Date.
2.02 Authorized
Leave of Absence:
A period of time when a Participant is
considered to remain in the employment of his Employer (except as
provided below) while not actively rendering services to his
Employer as a result of one or more of the following
–
(a) Any
absence of 6 months or less (or 24 months or less, if the
Participant retains a contractual right to return to work) that is
authorized by an Employer under the Employer’s standard
personnel practices, whether paid or unpaid, as long as there is a
reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform
services for the Employer;
(b) A
leave of absence pursuant to the Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act (“USERRA”); or
(c) A
leave of absence pursuant to the Family Medical Leave Act
(“FMLA”) or any other similar family medical leave law
of a particular state, if such law provides for a longer leave of
absence than the FMLA.
An Eligible Executive’s gross base salary,
as determined by the Plan Administrator and to the extent paid in
U.S. dollars from an Employer’s U.S. payroll for a period
that the Eligible Executive is an active Participant in the
Plan. For any applicable period, an Eligible
Executive’s gross base salary shall be determined without
regard to any reductions that may apply to the base salary,
including applicable tax withholdings, Executive-authorized
deductions (including deductions for the YUM! Brands 401(k) Plan
and applicable health and welfare benefits), tax levies and
garnishments.
The person or persons (including a trust or
trusts) properly designated by a Participant, as determined by the
Plan Administrator, to receive the Participant’s Vested LRP
Account in the event of the Participant's death. To be
effective, any Beneficiary designation must be in writing, signed
by the Participant, and filed with the Plan Administrator prior to
the Participant’s death, and it must meet such other
standards (including the requirement for spousal consent to the
naming of a non-Spouse beneficiary by a married Participant) as the
Plan Administrator shall require from time to time. An
incomplete Beneficiary designation, as determined by the Plan
Administrator, shall be void and of no effect. If some
but not all of the persons designated by a Participant to receive
his Vested LRP Account at death predecease the Participant, the
Participant’s surviving Beneficiaries shall be entitled to
the portion of the Participant’s Vested LRP Account intended
for such pre-deceased persons in proportion to the surviving
Beneficiaries’ respective shares; provided that primary
beneficiaries shall be paid before contingent
beneficiaries. If no designation is in effect at the
time of a Participant’s death or if all designated
Beneficiaries have predeceased the Participant, then the
Participant’s Beneficiary shall be (i) in the case of a
Participant who is married at death, the Participant’s
Spouse, or (ii) in the case of a Participant who is not married at
death, the Participant’s estate. In determining
whether a Beneficiary designation that relates to the Plan is in
effect, unrevoked designations that were received prior to the
Effective Date of the 409A Program shall be
considered. A Beneficiary designation of an individual
by name (or name and relationship) remains in effect regardless of
any change in the designated individual’s relationship to the
Participant. A Beneficiary designation solely by
relationship (for example, a designation of “Spouse,”
that does not give the name of the Spouse) shall designate whoever
is the person (if any) in that relationship to the Participant at
his death. An individual who is otherwise a Beneficiary
with respect to a Participant’s Vested LRP Account ceases to
be a Beneficiary when all applicable payments have been made from
the LRP Account.
The gross amount of an Eligible
Executive’s target annual incentive or bonus award, which
shall be equal to the Eligible Executive’s current annualized
Base Compensation in effect as of the applicable Allocation Date
multiplied by the Eligible Executive’s current target
bonus percentage, in effect as of the applicable Allocation Date,
under his Employer’s annual incentive or bonus
plan. Bonus Compensation shall be determined by the Plan
Administrator and shall only be taken into account to the extent
paid in U.S. dollars from an Employer’s U.S.
payroll. An Eligible Executive’s Bonus
Compensation shall be determined without regard to any reductions
that may apply, including applicable tax withholdings,
Executive-authorized deductions (including deductions for the YUM!
Brands 401(k) Plan and applicable health and welfare benefits), tax
levies, and garnishments.
2.06 Break
in Service Payment Election:
The election to defer the distribution of a
Participant’s Pre-Break Subaccount, if applicable, pursuant
to the provisions of Section 4.03.
A “Change in Control” shall be
deemed to occur if the event set forth in any one of the following
paragraphs shall have occurred:
(a) Any
Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Company (not including in the securities
beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly
from the Company or an Affiliate) representing 20% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding
securities, excluding any Person who becomes such a Beneficial
Owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (i) of
Subsection (c) below;
(b) The
following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority
of the number of directors then serving; individuals who, on the
date hereof, constitute the Board and any new director (other than
a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with
an actual or threatened election contest, including a consent
solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the
Company), whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination
for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or
recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors
then still in office who either were directors on the date hereof
or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was
previously so approved or recommended; or
(c) There
is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any
direct or indirect Subsidiary with any other corporation, other
than (i) a merger or consolidation immediately following which
those individuals who immediately prior to the consummation of such
merger or consolidation, constituted the Board, constitute a
majority of the board of directors of the Company or the surviving
or resulting entity or any parent thereof, or (ii) a merger or
consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the
Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes
the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such
Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or an
Affiliate) representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of
the Company’s then outstanding securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change
in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of
the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated
transactions immediately following which the record holders of the
common stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction
or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same
proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately
following such transaction or series of transactions.
For purposes of the foregoing, the following
capitalized and underlined words shall have the meanings ascribed
to them below:
“ Affiliate ” shall have the
meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 under Section 12 of the Exchange
Act.
“ Beneficial Owner ” shall
have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act,
except that a Person shall not be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner
of any securities which are properly filed on a Form
13-G.
“ Exchange Act ” shall mean
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to
time.
“ Person ” shall have the
meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified
and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except that such term
shall not include (i) the Company or any of its Affiliates; (ii) a
trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) an
underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering
of such securities; or (iv) a corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the
same proportions as their ownership of stock of the
Company.
“ Subsidiary ” means any
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity during any
period in which at least a fifty percent voting or profits interest
is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (or by any entity
that is a successor to the Company).
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
from time to time.
YUM! Brands, Inc., a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina, or its
successor or successors.
A Participant shall be considered to suffer from
a Disability, if, in the judgment of the Plan Administrator
(determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A), the
Participant –
(a) Is
unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of
any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can
be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than 12 months, or
(b) By
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last
for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, is receiving
income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months
under an accident and health plan of the Company (including the
YUM! Brands Short-Term Disability Plan and the YUM! Brands
Long-Term Disability Plan).
A Participant who has received a Social Security
disability award will be conclusively deemed to satisfy the
requirements of Subsection (a). In turn, a Participant
who has not received a Social Security disability award will be
conclusively deemed to not meet the requirements of Subsection
(a).
The related term, “Disabled,” shall
mean to suffer from a Disability.
2.11 Disability
Benefits:
The receipt by a Participant of short-term
disability benefits from the YUM! Brands Short-Term Disability Plan
(or such other short-term disability plan sponsored by his
Employer) or long-term disability benefits from the YUM! Brands
Long-Term Disability Plan (or such other long-term disability plan
sponsored by his Employer).
2.12 Disability
Leave of Absence:
A continuous period of absence during which the
Participant is receiving Disability Benefits. A
Participant’s Disability Leave of Absence shall end on the
earlier of the date when the Participant is no longer receiving
Disability Benefits or the date that the Participant is entitled to
payment under Section 5.03 as a result of the Participant’s
Separation from Service ( i.e., when the Participant
Separates from Service as a result of his Disability or age 55, if
later). However, if the Participant executes a valid
Disability Payment Election pursuant to Section 4.02, such
Participant’s Disability Leave of Absence shall be extended
until the specific payment date listed in the Disability Payment
Election (or such later Disability Payment
Election). The Participant shall be considered to be on
a Disability Leave of Absence without regard to whether the
Participant is generally considered to be a continuing Employee of
the Employer.
2.13 Disability
Payment Election:
The voluntary election that can be made by a
Disabled Participant under Section 4.02 to extend his Disability
Leave of Absence and the payment of his LRP Benefits.
The increment added to a Participant’s LRP
Account as a result of crediting the account with a return based on
the Participant’s Earnings Rate.
(a)
Earnings Rate as of the Effective Date . As of
the Effective Date, the Earnings Rate shall be 6% per annum,
compounded annually. In the event a Valuation Date
occurs less than 12 months after the prior Valuation Date, this
Earnings Rate shall be converted to a rate for the period since the
last Valuation Date by reducing it to a rate that is appropriate
for such shorter period. Such reduction shall be done in
a way that would result in the specified 6% annual rate of return
being earned for the number of such periods that equals one
year. The Earnings Rate is used to determine the
Earnings Credit that is credited to the Participant’s LRP
Account from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section
5.01(d).
(b)
Earnings Rate from and after July 1, 2006
. Except as provided in the Appendix, from and after
July 1, 2006, the Earnings Rate for all Participants shall be 5%
per annum, compounded annually. In the event a Valuation
Date occurs less than 12 months after the prior Valuation Date,
this Earnings Rate shall be converted to a rate for the period
since the last Valuation Date by reducing it to a rate that is
appropriate for such shorter period. Such reduction
shall be done in a way that would result in the specified 5% annual
rate of return being earned for the number of such periods that
equals one year. The Earnings Rate is used to determine
the Earnings Credit that is credited to the Participant’s LRP
Account from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section
5.01(d).
(c)
Adjustments to the Earnings Rate . As provided by
Section 5.01(d), the Earnings Rate shall be evaluated and may be
revised by the Company on an annual basis.
The Company, and each division of the Company
and each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates (if
any) that is currently designated as an adopting Employer of the
Plan by the Company. Where there is a question as to
whether a particular division, subsidiary or affiliate is an
Employer under the Plan, the determination of the Plan
Administrator shall be absolutely conclusive. An entity
shall be an Employer hereunder only for the period that it is
– (a) so determined by the Plan Administrator, and (b) a
member of the YUM! Organization.
2.17 Employer
Credit / Employer Credit Percentage:
The Employer Credit is an amount that is
credited to a Participant’s LRP Account as of each Allocation
Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.01(b) and (c) or the
Appendix. The “Employer Credit Percentage”
is the percentage in Section 5.01(b) of Base Compensation or Bonus
Compensation (or both), which is used to calculate a
Participant’s Employer Credit pursuant to Section
5.01(c).
Public Law 93-406, the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to
time.
2.19 Executive
/ Eligible Executive:
An “Executive” is any individual in
an executive classification of an Employer who (i) is receiving
remuneration for personal services that he or she is currently
rendering in the employment of an Employer (or who is on an
Authorized Leave of Absence), and (ii) is paid in U.S. dollars from
the Employer’s U.S. payroll. An “Eligible
Executive” shall have the meaning provided in Section
3.01.
The program described in this
document. The term “409A Program” is used to
identify the portion of the Plan that is subject to Section
409A.
The individuals identified in accordance with
principles set forth in Subsection (a), as modified by the
following provisions of this Section.
(a)
In General . Any Eligible Executive or former
Eligible Executive who at any time during the applicable year is
–
(1) An
officer of an Employer having annual compensation greater than
$130,000 (as adjusted under Code Section 416(i)(1));
(2) A
5-percent owner of an Employer; or
(3) A
1-percent owner of an Employer having annual compensation of more
than $150,000.
For purposes of (1) above, no more than 50
employees identified in the order of their annual compensation (or,
if lesser, the greater of 3 employees or 10 percent of the
employees) shall be treated as officers. For purposes of
this Section, annual compensation means compensation as defined in
Code Section 415(c)(3). The Plan Administrator shall
determine who is a Key Employee in accordance with Code Section
416(i) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general
applicability issued thereunder or in connection therewith
(including the provisions of Code Section 416(i)(3) that treat self
employed individuals as employees for purposes of this definition);
provided, that Code Section 416(i)(5) shall not apply in making
such determination, and provided further that the applicable year
shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A and that any
modification of the foregoing definition that applies under Section
409A shall be taken into account.
(b)
Special Operating Rules . To ensure that the
Company does not fail to identify any Key Employees based on the
provisions of Subsection (a), the Company shall treat as Key
Employees for the Plan Year of their Separation from Service those
individuals who meet the provisions of paragraph (1) or (2) below
(or both).
(1) The
Company shall treat as Key Employees all Eligible Executives (and
former Eligible Executives) that are classified for any portion of
the Plan Year of their Separation from Service as Level 15 and
above; and
(2) The
Company shall treat as a Key Employee any Eligible Executive who
would be a Key Employee as of his Separation from Service date
based on the standards in this paragraph (2). For
purposes of this paragraph (2), the Company shall determine Key
Employees under Subsection (a)(1) and (3) above based on
compensation (as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3)) that is taken
into account as follows:
(i) If
the determination is in connection with a Separation from Service
in the first calendar quarter of a Plan Year, the determination
shall be made using compensation earned in the calendar year that
is two years prior to the current calendar year ( e.g., for
a determination made in the first quarter of 2005, compensation
earned in the 2003 calendar year shall be used); and
(ii) If
the determination is in connection with a Separation from Service
in the second, third or fourth calendar quarter of a Plan Year, the
determination shall be made using the compensation earned in the
prior calendar year ( e.g., for a determination made in the
second quarter of 2005, compensation earned in the 2004 calendar
year shall be used).
In addition, a Participant shall be considered
an officer for purposes of Subsection (a)(1), a 5-percent owner for
purposes of Subsection (a)(2) or a 1-percent owner for purposes of

vesting under Section 5.02 at the time he incurs a One-Year Break
in Service and who is again employed at any time thereafter in an
eligible classification shall re-participate in this Plan as of the
date he becomes an eligible Executive. Such
individual’s pre-break Years of Service shall be restored in
determining his rights and benefits under the Plan. In

Service. In addition, such individual shall begin a new
Participation Period beginning with the date he once again becomes
an active Participant pursuant to Section 3.02. However,
such individual shall not be entitled to an Employer Credit for the
period of the break.
(d)
Break in Service Subaccounts . If a Participant
incurs a break in service under this Section and the Participant
did not receive a distribution of his LRP Benefit during or as a
result of the break in service ( e.g., the
break in service occurs prior to the Participant’s 55
th birthday), the Employer Credits (and the
Earnings Credits related thereto) that are credited after the break
in service shall be credited to a separate subaccount of the
Participant’s LRP Account (the “Post-Break
Subaccount”). The Post-Break Subaccount shall be
separately distributed from the value of the Participant’s
pre-break LRP Account, which shall be referred to as the
“Pre-Break Subaccount.” An affected
Participant shall be able to extend the payment date of the
Participant’s Pre-Break Subaccount by making a Break in
Service Payment Election pursuant to Section 4.03. A
Participant’s Pre-Break Subaccount and Post-Break Subaccount
shall consist of the Participant’s entire LRP
Account. A Participant who has a Pre-Break and
Post-Break Subaccount shall be referred to as a “Break in
Service Participant.”
