ARTICLE I
Foreword
The Yum! Brands, Inc. Pension Equalization Plan
("PEP" or "Plan") has been adopted by Yum! Brands, Inc. ("Yum!")
for the benefit of certain employees of the Yum! Organization who
participate in the Yum! Brands Retirement Plan ("Salaried
Plan"). PEP provides benefits for eligible employees
whose pension benefits under the Salaried Plan are limited by the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. In addition, PEP provides benefits for certain
eligible employees based on the pre-1989 Salaried Plan
formula.
This Plan is first effective on October 7, 1997
in connection with the spinoff of Yum! from PepsiCo,
Inc. This Plan is a successor plan to the PepsiCo
Pension Equalization Plan.
This document is effective as of January 1, 2005
(the “Effective Date”). It 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”). All other benefits under the Plan shall
be governed by the document referenced in the preceding paragraph,
which sets forth the pre-Section 409A terms of the Plan (the
“Pre-409A Program”). Together, this document
and the document 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 to
permit the pre-409A Program to remain exempt from Section 409A as
grandfathered benefits.

Where the
following words and phrases, in boldface and underlined, appear in
this Plan (including the Foreword) with initial capitals they shall
have the meaning set forth below, unless a different meaning is
plainly required by the context.
(a) Accrued Benefit
: The Pension payable at Normal Retirement Date
determined in accordance with Article V, based on the
Participant's Highest Average Monthly Earnings and Credited Service
at the date of determination.
(b) Actuarial
Equivalent : Except as otherwise specifically
set forth in the Plan or any Appendix to the Plan with respect to a
specific benefit determination, a benefit of equivalent value
computed on the basis of the factors set forth
below. The application of the following assumptions to
the computation of benefits payable under the Plan shall be done in
a uniform and consistent manner. In the event the Plan
is amended to provide new rights, features or benefits, the
following actuarial factors shall not apply to these new elements
unless specifically adopted by the amendment.
(1) Annuities and Inflation
Protection : To determine the amount of a Pension
payable in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity or
optional form of survivor annuity, an annuity with inflation
protection, or as a period certain and life annuity, the Plan
Administrator shall select the factors that are to be
used. Effective January 1, 2009, the initial factors
selected by the Plan Administrator are set forth in Schedule 1,
below (prior factors appear in the
Appendix). Thereafter, the Plan Administrator shall
review such initial factors from time to time and shall amend such
factors in its discretion. A Participant shall have no
right to have any of the actuarial factors specified under the Plan
from time to time applied to his benefit (or any portion thereof),
except to the extent that a particular factor is currently in
effect at the time it is to be applied under the
Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly
intended and binding upon Participants that any actuarial factors
selected by the Plan Administrator from time-to-time may be applied
retroactively to already accrued benefits, and without regard to
the actuarial factors that may have applied previously for such
purpose.

(2) Lump Sums : To
determine the lump sum value of a Pension, or a Pre-Retirement
Spouse's Pension under Section 4.6, the factors applicable for such
purposes under the Salaried Plan shall apply.
(3) Other Cases
: To determine the adjustment to be made in the Pension
payable to or on behalf of a Participant in other cases, the
factors are those applicable for such purpose under the Salaried
Plan.
(c) Annuity
: A Pension payable as a series of monthly payments for
at least the life of the Participant.
(d) Annuity Starting Date
: The Annuity Starting Date shall be the first day
of the first period for which an amount is payable under this Plan
as an annuity or in any other form. Notwithstanding
anything else in the Plan to the contrary, the Annuity Starting
Date shall be determined without regard to any delay that may be
applicable to a Participant's Pension, such as the delay required
for Key Employees under Section 6.6 or for prior payment elections
under Section 6.1(a)(2). A Participant who: (1) is
reemployed after his initial Annuity Starting Date, and (2) is
entitled to benefits hereunder after his reemployment, shall have a
subsequent Annuity Starting Date for such benefits only to the
extent provided in Section 6.3(d).
(e) Code
: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from
time to time. All references herein to particular Code
Sections shall also refer to any successor provisions and shall
include all related regulations.
(f) Company
: Yum! Brands, Inc., a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina or its
successor or successors. For periods before May 16,
2002, the Company was named Tricon Global Restaurants,
Inc. For periods before October 7, 1997, the Company
under the Prior Plan was PepsiCo, Inc., a North Carolina
corporation.
(g) Covered
Compensation : "Covered Compensation" as that
term is defined in the Salaried Plan.
(h) Credited Service
: The period of a Participant's employment, calculated
in accordance with Section 3.3, which is counted for purposes of
determining the amount of benefits payable to, or on behalf of, the
Participant.
(i) Disability Retirement
Pension : The Retirement Pension available to a
Participant under Section 4.5.
(j) Early 409A Retirement
Pension : The 409A Retirement Pension available
to a Participant under Section 4.2.
(k) Effective Date
: The date upon which this document for the 409A Program
is effective, January 1, 2005. Certain identified
provisions of the 409A Program or the Plan may be effective on
different dates, to the extent noted herein.
(l) Elapsed Time
Service : The period of time beginning with a
Participant’s first date of employment with the Yum! Brands
Organization and ending with the Participant’s Final
Separation from Service, irrespective of any breaks in service
between those two dates. By way of illustration, if a
Participant began employment with the Yum! Brands Organization on
January 1, 2000, left the employment of the Yum! Brands
Organization from January 1, 2001 until December 31, 2004, and was
then reemployed by the Yum! Brands Organization on January 1, 2005
until he had a Final Separation from Service on December 31, 2008,
the Participant would have eight years of Elapsed Time Service as
of his Final Separation from Service.
(m) Eligible Spouse
: The spouse of a Participant to whom the Participant is
married on the earlier of the Participant's Annuity Starting Date
or the date of the Participant's death.
(n) Employee
: An individual who qualifies as an "Employee" as that
term is defined in the Salaried Plan.
(o) Employer
: An entity that qualifies as an "Employer" as that term
is defined in the Salaried Plan.
(p) ERISA
: Public Law No. 93-406, the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, including any amendments thereto, any similar
subsequent federal laws, and any regulations from time to time in
effect under any of such laws.
(q) Highest Average Monthly
Earnings : "Highest Average Monthly Earnings" as
that term is defined in the Salaried Plan, but without regard to
the limitation imposed by section 401(a)(17) of the Code (as such
limitation is interpreted and applied under the Salaried
Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that
a Participant receives, during a leave of absence, earnings that
would be counted as Highest Average Monthly Earnings if they were
received during a period of active service, but that will be
received after the Participant’s Separation from Service, the
Plan Administrator may provide for determining the
Participant’s 409A Pension at Separation from Service by
projecting the benefit the Participant would have if all such
earnings were taken into account under the Plan.
(r) Key Employee
: The individuals identified in accordance with the
following paragraphs.
(1) In General
. Any Participant who at any time during the applicable
year is:

(ii) A 5-percent owner
of any member of the Yum! Brands Organization; or
(iii) A 1-percent owner
of any member of the Yum! Brands Organization having annual
compensation of more than $150,000.

of this Section, annual compensation means compensation as defined
in Treas. Reg. §1.415(c)-2(a), without regard to Treas. Reg.
§§1.415(c)-2(d), 1.415(c)-2(e), and
1.415(c)-2(g). The Plan Administrator shall determine
who is a Key Employee in accordance with Code Section 416(i)
(provided, that Code Section 416(i)(5) shall not apply in making
such determination), and provided further than 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.
(2) Applicable
Year . Effective from and after December 31, 2007,
the Plan Administrator shall determine Key Employees effective as
of the last day of each calendar year, based on compensation for
such year, and such designation shall be effective for purposes of
this Plan for the twelve-month period commencing on April 1
st of the next following calendar year (
e.g. , the Key Employee determination by the Plan
Administrator as of December 31, 2008 shall apply to the period
from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010).
(s) Late Retirement Date
: The Late Retirement Date shall be the first day
of the month coincident with or immediately following a
Participant's actual Retirement Date occurring after his Normal
Retirement Age.
(t) Late 409A Retirement
Pension : The Retirement Pension available to a
Participant under Section 4.4.
(u) Normal Retirement
Age : The Normal Retirement Age under the Plan
is age 65 or, if later, the age at which a Participant first has 5
Years of Elapsed Time Service.

shall be the first day of the month coincident with or immediately
following a Participant's Normal Retirement Age.
(w) Normal 409A Retirement
Pension : The Retirement Pension available to a
Participant under Section 4.1.
(x) Participant
: An Employee participating in the Plan in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.1.
(y) Pension
: One or more payments that are payable by the Plan to a
person who is entitled to receive benefits under the
Plan. The term “409A Pension” shall be used
to refer to the portion of a Pension that is derived from the 409A
Program. The term “Pre-409A Pension” shall
be used to refer to the portion of a Pension that is derived from
the Pre-409A Program.
(z) Plan :
The Yum! Brands, Inc. Pension Equalization Plan, the
Plan set forth herein and in the Pre-409A Program documents, as the
Plan may be amended from time to time (subject to the limitations
on amendment that are applicable hereunder and under the Pre-409A
Program). Prior to September 1, 2004, the Plan was known
as the Tricon Pension Equalization Plan. The Plan is
also sometimes referred to as PEP, and it is a successor to the
PepsiCo Pension Equalization Plan, which was also known as the
PepsiCo Pension Benefit Equalization Plan.
(aa) Plan
Administrator : The Company, which shall have
authority to administer the Plan as provided in Article
VII.
(bb) Plan Year
: The Plan Year shall be the 12-month period commencing
on January 1 and ending on December 31.
(cc) Pre-Retirement Spouse's
Pension : The Pension available to an Eligible
Spouse under the Plan. The term "Pre-Retirement Spouse's
409A Pension" shall be used to refer to the Pension available to an
Eligible Spouse under Section 4.6 of this document.
(dd) Primary Social Security
Amount : In determining Pension amounts, Primary
Social Security Amount shall mean:
(1) For purposes of determining the
amount of a Retirement, Vested or Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension,
the Primary Social Security Amount shall be the estimated monthly
amount that may be payable to a Participant commencing at age 65 as
an old-age insurance benefit under the provisions of Title II
of the Social Security Act, as amended. Such estimates
of the old-age insurance benefit to which a Participant would be
entitled at age 65 shall be based upon the following
assumptions:
(i) That the Participant's social
security wages in any year prior to Retirement or Separation from
Service are equal to the Taxable Wage Base in such year,
and
(ii) That he will not receive any
social security wages after Retirement or Separation from
Service.
However, in
computing a Vested Pension under Formula A of Section 5.2, the
estimate of the old-age insurance benefit to which a Participant
would be entitled at age 65 shall be based upon the assumption that
he continued to receive social security wages until age 65 at the
same rate as the Taxable Wage Base in effect at his Separation from
Service. For purposes of this subsection, "social
security wages" shall mean wages within the meaning of the Social
Security Act.
(2) For purposes of determining the
amount of a Disability Pension, the Primary Social Security Amount
shall be (except as provided in the next sentence) the initial
monthly amount actually received by the disabled Participant as a
disability insurance benefit under the provisions of Title II
of the Social Security Act, as amended and in effect at the time of
the Participant's Retirement due to
disability. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, for
any period that a Participant receives a Disability Pension before
receiving a disability insurance benefit under the
provisions of Title II of the Social Security Act, then the
Participant's Primary Social Security Amount for such period shall
be determined pursuant to paragraph (1) above.
(3) For purposes of paragraphs (1)
and (2), the Primary Social Security Amount shall exclude amounts
that may be available because of the spouse or any dependent of the
Participant or any amounts payable on account of the Participant's
death. Estimates of Primary Social Security Amounts
shall be made on the basis of the Social Security Act as in effect
at the Participant's Separation from Service Date, without regard
to any increases in the social security wage base or benefit levels
provided by such Act which take effect thereafter.
(ee) Prior Plan :
The PepsiCo Pension Equalization Plan.
(ff) Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity : An Annuity which is payable
to the Participant for life with 50 percent of the amount of such
Annuity payable after the Participant's death to his surviving
Eligible Spouse for life. If the Eligible Spouse
predeceases the Participant, no survivor benefit under a Qualified
Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be payable to any
person. The amount of a Participant's monthly payment
under a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity shall be reduced to
the extent provided in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as
applicable.
(gg) Retirement
: Separation from Service for reasons other than death
after a Participant has fulfilled the requirements for either a
Normal, Early, Late, or Disability Retirement Pension under Article
IV.
(hh) Retirement Date
: The date immediately following the Participant's
Retirement.
(ii) Retirement
Pension : The Pension payable to a Participant
upon Retirement under the Plan. The term “409A
Retirement Pension” shall be used to refer to the portion of
a Retirement Pension that is derived from the 409A
Program. The term “Pre-409A Retirement
Pension” shall be used to refer to the portion of a
Retirement Pension that is derived from the Pre-409A
Program.
(jj)
Salaried Plan : The Yum!
Brands Retirement Program for Salaried Employees, the program of
retirement benefits set forth in Parts B and D of the Yum! Brands
Retirement Plan, as it may be amended from time to
time. Any reference herein to the Salaried Plan for a
period that is on or after September 7, 1997 but before December
30, 1998, shall mean the Tricon Salaried Employees Retirement Plan,
which was renamed the Tricon Retirement Plan from December 30, 1998
to September 1, 2004. Any reference herein to the
Salaried Plan for a period that is before the September 7, 1997
shall mean the PepsiCo Salaried Employees Retirement
Plan.
(kk) Section 409A :
Section 409A of the Code.
(ll)
Separation from Service : A
Participant’s separation from service with the Yum! Brands
Organization, within the meaning of Section
409A(a)(2)(A)(i). The term may also be used as a verb (
i.e. , “Separates from Service”) with no change
in meaning. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a
Participant’s transfer to an entity owned 20% or more by the
Company will not constitute a Separation of Service to the extent
permitted by Section 409A. A Participant’s
“Final Separation from Service” is the date of his
Separation from Service that most recently precedes his Annuity
Starting Date; provided, however, that to the extent a Participant
is reemployed after an Annuity Starting Date, he will have a new
Final Separation from Service with respect to any benefits to which
he becomes entitled as a result of his reemployment. The
following principles shall generally apply in determining when a
Separation from Service occurs:
(1) A
Participant separates from service with the Company if the Employee
dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment with
the Company. Whether a termination of employment has
occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstance
indicate that the Company and the Employee reasonably anticipated
that no further services would be performed after a certain date or
that the level of bona fide services the Employee would perform
after such date (as an employee or independent contractor) would
permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average
level of bona fide services performed over the immediately
preceding 36-month period (or the full period in which the Employee
provided services to the Company if the Employee has been providing
services for less than 36 months).
(2) An
Employee will not be deemed to have experienced a Separation from
Service if such Employee is on military leave, sick leave, or other
bona fide leave of absence, to the extent such leave does not
exceed a period of six months or, if longer, such longer period of
time during which a right to re-employment is protected by either
statute or contract. If the period of leave exceeds six
months and the individual does not retain a right to re-employment
under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment
relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately
following such six-month period.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, where a leave of absence is due to any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to
result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period
of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the
Employee to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position
of employment or any substantially similar position of employment,
a 29-month period of absence may be substituted for such six-month
period.
(3) If
an Employee provides services both an as employee and as a member
of the Board of Directors of the Company, the services provided as
a Director are generally not taken into account in determining
whether the Employee has Separated from Service as an Employee for
purposes of the Plan, in accordance with final regulations under
Section 409A
(mm) Service
: The period of a Participant's employment calculated in
accordance with Section 3.2 for purposes of determining his
entitlement to benefits under the Plan.

ARTICLE III
Participation and
Service
3.1 Participation : An
Employee shall be a Participant in the Plan during the
period:
(a) When he would be currently
entitled to receive a Pension under the Plan if his employment
terminated at such time, or
(b) When he would be so entitled but
for the vesting requirement of Section 4.7.
It is expressly
contemplated that an Employee, who is entitled to receive a Pension
under the Plan as of a particular time, may subsequently cease to
be entitled to receive a Pension under the Plan.
3.2 Service : A
Participant's entitlement to a Pension and to a Pre-Retirement
Spouse's Pension for his Eligible Spouse shall be determined under
Article IV based upon his period of Service. A
Participant's period of Service shall be determined under Article
III of the Salaried Plan. If a Participant’s
period of Service (as so determined) would extend beyond the
Participant’s Separation from Service date because of a leave
of absence, the Plan Administrator may provide for determining the
Participant’s 409A Pension at Separation from Service by
projecting the benefit the Participant would have if all such
Service were taken into account under the Plan.
3.3 Credited Service
: The amount of a Participant's Pension and a
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension shall be based upon the
Participant's period of Credited Service, as determined under
Article III of the Salaried Plan. If a
Participant’s period of Credited Service (as so determined)
would extend beyond the Participant’s Separation from Service
date because of a leave of absence, the Plan Administrator may
provide for determining the Participant’s 409A Pension at
Separation from Service by projecting the benefit the Participant
would have if all such Service were taken into account under the
Plan.
ARTICLE IV
Requirements for
Benefits
A Participant shall be eligible to receive a
Pension and a surviving Eligible Spouse shall be eligible for
certain survivor benefits as provided in this
Article. The amount of any such Pension or survivor
benefit shall be determined in accordance with Article
V.
4.1 Normal 409A Retirement Pension
: A Participant shall be eligible for a Normal 409A
Retirement Pension if he is employed in an eligible classification
and Separates from Service after attaining Normal Retirement Age
(provided, however, that with respect to determining the
form of payment to which a Participant is entitled under Article
VI, the eligible classification requirement shall be
ignored).
4.2 Early 409A Retirement Pension
: A Participant shall be eligible for an Early 409A
Retirement Pension if he is employed in an eligible classification
and Separates from Service prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age
but after attaining at least age 55 and completing 10 or more years
of Elapsed Time Service (provided, however, that with respect
to determining the form of payment to which a
Participant is entitled under Article VI, the eligible
classification requirement shall be ignored).
4.3 409A Vested Pension: A
Participant who is vested under Section 4.7 shall be eligible to
receive a 409A Vested Pension if he is employed in an eligible
classification under the Salaried Plan and Separates from Service
before he is eligible for a Normal 409A Retirement Pension or an
Early 409A Retirement Pension (provided, however, that with respect
to determining the form of payment to which a
Participant is entitled under Article VI, the eligible
classification requirement shall be ignored). A
Participant who terminates employment prior to satisfying the
vesting requirement in Section 4.7 shall not be entitled to receive
a Pension under this Plan.
4.4 Late 409A Retirement
Pension : A Participant who continues without a
Separation from Service after his Normal Retirement Age shall not
receive a Pension until his Late Retirement
Date. Thereafter, a Participant shall be eligible for a
Late Retirement Pension determined in accordance with Section 4.4
of the Salaried Plan (but without regard to any requirement for
notice of suspension under ERISA section 203(a)(3)(B) or any
adjustment as under Section 5.5(d) of the Salaried
Plan).
4.5 409A Disability Pension
: A Participant shall be eligible for a 409A Disability
Pension if he meets the requirements for a Disability Pension under
the Salaried Plan. A Participant’s 409A Disability
Pension, if any, shall generally be comprised of two
parts. The first part shall represent the benefits with
respect to a disabled Participant’s Credited Service through
the day of the Participant’s Separation from Service (
i.e. , the Participant’s "Pre-Separation
Accruals"). In the event the disabled Participant
continues to receive Credited Service related to the disability
after such Separation from Service, the Participant’s 409A
Disability Pension shall have a second part, which shall represent
all benefits accrued with respect to Credited Service from the date
immediately following the Participant’s Separation from
Service until the earliest of the Participant’s (i)
attainment of age 65, (ii) benefit commencement date under the
Salaried Plan or (iii) recovery from the disability ( i.e. ,
the Participant’s "Post-LTD Accruals").
4.6 Pre-Retirement Spouse's 409A
Pension : Any Pre-Retirement Spouse's 409A Pension
is payable under this section only in the event the Participant
dies prior to his Annuity Starting Date. Any
Pre-Retirement Spouse’s 409A Pension payable on behalf of a
Participant shall commence as of the first day of the month
following the Participant’s death and, subject to
Section 4.9, shall be paid as either (a) a lump sum, if the
Participant would have been entitled to a 409A Retirement Pension
on the date of his death, or (b) a monthly annuity for
the life of the Eligible Spouse, if the Participant would have been
entitled to a 409A Vested Pension on the date of his
death.
(a) Active, Disabled and Retired
Employees : A Pre-Retirement Spouse's 409A Pension
shall be payable under this subsection to a Participant's Eligible
Spouse (if any) who is entitled under the Salaried Plan to the
special pre-retirement spouse's pension for survivors of active,
disabled and retired employees. The amount (if any) of
such Pension shall be determined in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5.3 (with the 409A Pension, if any, determined after
application of Section 5.6).
(b) Vested Employees
: A Pre-Retirement Spouse's 409A Pension shall be
payable under this subsection to a Participant's Eligible Spouse
(if any) who is entitled under the Salaried Plan to the
pre-retirement spouse's pension for survivors of vested terminated
Employees. The amount (if any) of such Pension shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 (with
the 409A Pension, if any determined after application of Section
5.6). If pursuant to this Section 4.6(b) a Participant
has Pre-Retirement Spouse's coverage in effect for his Eligible
Spouse, any Pension calculated for the Participant under Section
5.2(b) shall be reduced for each year such coverage is in effect by
the applicable percentage set forth below (based on the
Participant's age at the time the coverage is in effect) with a pro
rata reduction for any portion of a year. No
reduction shall be made for coverage in effect within the 90-day
period following a Participant's termination of
employment.

right to, his Accrued Benefit at the time he becomes fully vested
in his accrued benefit under the Salaried Plan.
4.8 Time of Payment
: The distribution of a Participant's 409A Pension shall
commence as of the time specified in Section 6.1, subject to
Section 6.6.
4.9 Cashout
Distributions
Notwithstanding
the availability or applicability of a different form of payment
under Article VI, the following rules shall apply in the case of
certain small benefit Annuity payments:
(a) Distribution of Participant's
Pension : If at a Participant's Annuity
Starting Date the Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value of the
Participant's PEP Pension is equal to or less than $15,500, the
Plan Administrator shall distribute to the Participant such lump
sum value of the Participant's PEP Pension.
(b) Distribution of
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension Benefit : If at the
time payments are to commence to an Eligible Spouse under Section
4.6, the Actuarial Equivalent lump sum value of the PEP
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension to be paid is equal to or less than
$15,500, the Plan Administrator shall distribute to the Eligible
Spouse such lump sum value of the PEP Pre-Retirement Spouse's
Pension.
Any lump sum
distributed under this section shall be in lieu of the Pension that
otherwise would be distributable to the Participant or Eligible
Spouse hereunder.
4.10
Reemployment of Certain Participants : In the
case of a current or former Participant who is receiving his
Pension as an Annuity under Section 6.1(b), and who is reemployed
and is eligible to re-participate in the Salaried Plan after his
Annuity Starting Date, payment of his 409A Pension will continue to
be paid in the same form as it was paid prior to his
reemployment. Any additional 409A Pension that is earned
by the Participant shall be paid based on the Separation from
Service that follows the Participant's re-employment.
ARTICLE V
Amount of Retirement
Pension
When a 409A Pension becomes payable to or on
behalf of a Participant under this Plan, the amount of such 409A
Pension shall be determined under Section 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3
(whichever is applicable), subject to any adjustments required
under Sections 4.6(b), 5.4 and 5.5.
5.1 Participant’s 409A
Pension
(a) Calculating the 409A
Pension: A Participant's 409A Pension shall be
calculated as follows (on the basis specified in subsection (b)
below and using the definitions appearing in subsection (c)
below):
(1) His Total Pension, reduced
by
(2) His Salaried Plan Pension, and
then further reduced by (but not below zero)
(3) His Pre-409A Pension.
(b) Basis for Determining
: The 409A Pension Benefit amount in subsection (a)
above shall be determined on a basis that takes into account
applicable reductions for early commencement and that reflects, as
applicable, the relative value of forms of payment.
(c) Definitions
: The following definitions apply for purposes of this
section.
(1) A Participant's "Total Pension"
means the greater of:
(i) The amount of the Participant's
pension determined under the terms of the Salaried Plan, but
without regard to: (A) the limitations imposed by
sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code (as such limitations are
interpreted and applied under the Salaried Plan), and (B) the
actuarial adjustment under Section 5.7(d) of the Salaried Plan
(relating to benefits that are deferred beyond the
Participant’s Normal Retirement Date); or
(ii) The amount (if any) of the
Participant's PEP Guarantee determined under Section
5.2.
As necessary to
ensure the Participant’s receipt of a "greater of" benefit,
the foregoing comparison shall be made by reflecting, as
applicable, the relative value of forms of payment.
(2) A Participant's "Salaried Plan
Pension" means the amount of the Participant's pension determined
under the terms of the Salaried Plan.
5.2 PEP Guarantee
: A Participant who is eligible under subsection (a)
below shall be entitled to a PEP Guarantee benefit determined under
subsection (b) below. In the case of other Participants,
the PEP Guarantee shall not apply.
(a) Eligibility
: A Participant shall be covered by this section if the
Participant has 1988 pensionable earnings from an Employer of at
least $75,000. For purposes of this section, "1988
pensionable earnings" means the Participant's remuneration for the
1988 calendar year, which was recognized for benefit received under
the Salaried Plan as in effect in 1988. "1988
pensionable earnings" does not include remuneration from an entity
attributable to any period when that entity was not an
Employer.
(b) PEP Guarantee Formula
: The amount of a Participant's PEP Guarantee shall be
determined under the applicable formula in paragraph (1), subject
to the special rules in paragraph (2).
(1) Formulas : The
amount of a Participant's Pension under this paragraph shall be
determined in accordance with subparagraph (i)
below. However, if the Participant was actively employed
by the Yum! Brands Organization in a classification eligible for
the Salaried Plan prior to July 1, 1975, the amount of his Pension
under this paragraph shall be the greater of the amounts determined
under subparagraphs (i) and (ii), provided that subparagraph
(ii)(B) shall not apply in determining the amount of a Vested
Pension.
(i) Formula A
: The Pension amount under this subparagraph shall
be:
(A) 3 percent of the Participant's
Highest Average Monthly Earnings for the first 10 years of Credited
Service, plus
(B) 1 percent of the Participant's
Highest Average Monthly Earnings for each year of Credited Service
in excess of 10 years, less
(C) 1-2/3 percent of the
Participant's Primary Social Security Amount multiplied by years of
Credited Service not in excess of 30 years.
In determining the amount of a Vested Pension
under this Formula A, the Pension shall first be calculated on
the basis of (I) the Credited Service the Participant would have
earned had he remained in the
employ of the Employer until his Normal
Retirement Age, and (II) his Highest Average Monthly Earnings and
Primary Social Security Amount at his Separation from Service, and
then shall be reduced by multiplying the resulting amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant's actual years
of Credited Service on his Separation from Service and the
denominator of which is the years of Credited Service he would have
earned had he remained in the employ of an Employer until his
Normal Retirement Age.
(ii)
Formula B : The Pension amount under this
subparagraph shall be the greater of (A) or (B) below:
(A) 1-1/2
percent of Highest Average Monthly Earnings times the number of
years of Credited Service, less 50 percent of the Participant's
Primary Social Security Amount, or
(B) 3
percent of Highest Average Monthly Earnings times the number of
years of Credited Service up to 15 years, less 50 percent of the
Participant's Primary Social Security Amount.
In determining
the amount of a Disability Pension under Formula A or B above, the
Pension shall be calculated on the basis of the Participant's
Credited Service (determined in accordance with Section 3.3(d)(3)
of the Salaried Plan), and his Highest Average Monthly Earnings and
Primary Social Security Amount at the date of
disability.
(2) Calculation
: The amount of the PEP Guarantee shall be determined
pursuant to paragraph (1) above, subject to the following special
rules:
(i) Surviving Eligible Spouse's
Annuity : Subject to subparagraph (iii) below and
the last sentence of this subparagraph, if the Participant has an
Eligible Spouse and has commenced receipt of an Annuity under this
section, the Participant's Eligible Spouse shall be entitled to
receive a survivor annuity equal to 50 percent of the Participant's
Annuity under this section, with no corresponding reduction in such
Annuity for the Participant. Annuity payments to a
surviving Eligible Spouse shall begin on the first day of the month
coincident with or following the Participant's death and shall end
with the last monthly payment due prior to the Eligible Spouse's
death. If the Eligible Spouse is more than 10 years
younger than the Participant, the survivor benefit payable under
this subparagraph shall be adjusted as provided below.
(A) For each full year more than 10
but less than 21 that the surviving Eligible Spouse is younger than
the Participant, the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall
be reduced by 0.8 percent.
(B) For each full year more than 20
that the surviving Eligible Spouse is younger than the Participant,
the survivor benefit payable to such spouse shall be reduced by an
additional 0.4 percent.
(ii) Reductions
: The following reductions shall apply in determining a
Participant's PEP Guarantee.
(A) If the Participant will receive
an Early Retirement Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced by
3/12ths of 1 percent for each month by which the benefit
commencement date precedes the date the Participant would attain
his Normal Retirement Date.
(B) If the Participant is entitled to
a Vested Pension, the payment amount shall be reduced to the
actuarial equivalent of the amount payable at his Normal Retirement
Date (if payment commences before such date), and the
Section 4.6(b) reductions for any Pre-Retirement Spouse's
coverage shall apply.
(C) This clause applies if the
Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides an
Eligible Spouse benefit, continuing for the life of the surviving
spouse, that is greater than that provided under subparagraph
(i). In this instance, the Participant's Pension under
this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the
benefit payable on the Participant's behalf is the actuarial
equivalent of the Pension otherwise payable under the foregoing
provisions of this section.
(D) This clause applies if the
Participant will receive his Pension in a form that provides a
survivor annuity for a beneficiary who is not his Eligible
Spouse. In this instance, the Participant's Pension
under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the
benefit payable on the Participant's behalf is the actuarial
equivalent of a Single Life Annuity for the Participant's
life.
(E) This clause applies if the
Participant will receive his Pension in a Annuity form that
includes inflation protection described in Section
6.2(b). In this instance, the Participant's Pension
under this section shall be reduced so that the total value of the
benefit payable on the Participant's behalf is the actuarial
equivalent of the elected Annuity without such
protection.
(iii) Lump Sum Conversion
: The amount of the Retirement Pension determined under
this section for a Participant whose Retirement Pension will be
distributed in the form of a lump sum shall be the actuarial
equivalent of the Participant's PEP Guarantee determined under this
section, taking into account the value of any survivor benefit
under subparagraph (i) above and any early retirement reductions
under subparagraph (ii)(A) above.
For purposes of
this paragraph (2), actuarial equivalence shall be determined
taking into account the PEP Guarantee’s purpose to preserve
substantially the value of a benefit under the pre-1989 terms of
the Plan and the 409A Plan’s design that offers alternative
annuities that are considered actuarial equivalent for purposes of
Section 409A (taking into account, without limitation, the special
rule for subsidized joint and survivor annuities in Treasury
Regulation § 1.409A-3(b)(ii)(C)).
5.3 Amount of Pre-Retirement
Spouse's 409A Pension : The monthly
amount of the Pre-Retirement Spouse's 409A Pension payable to a
surviving Eligible Spouse under Section 4.6 shall be determined
under subsection (a) below.
(a) Calculation
: An Eligible Spouse's Pre-Retirement Spouse's 409A
Pension shall be the difference between:
(1) The Eligible Spouse's Total
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension, reduced by
(2) The Eligible Spouse's Salaried
Plan Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension, and then further reduced
by (but not below zero)
(3) The Eligible Spouse's
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension derived from the Pre-409A
Program.
(b) Definitions
: The following definitions apply for purposes of this
section.
(1) An Eligible Spouse's "Total
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension" means the greater of:
(i) The amount of the Eligible
Spouse's pre-retirement spouse's pension determined under the terms
of the Salaried Plan, but without regard to: (A) the
limitations imposed by sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code (as
such limitations are interpreted and applied under the Salaried
Plan), and (B) the actuarial adjustment under Section 5.5(d)
of the Salaried Plan; or
(ii) The amount (if any) of the
Eligible Spouse's PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension
determined under subsection (c).
In making this
comparison, the benefits in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall
be calculated as if payable as of what would be the Normal
Retirement Date of the Participant related to the Eligible
Spouse.
(2) An "Eligible Spouse's Salaried
Plan Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension” means the
Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension that would be payable to the
Eligible Spouse under the terms of the Salaried Plan.
(3) An “Eligible Spouse’s
Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension derived from the Pre-409A
Program” means the Pre-Retirement Spouse’s Pension that
would be payable to the Eligible Spouse under the terms of the
Pre-409A Program.
(c) PEP Guarantee Pre-Retirement
Spouse's Pension : An Eligible Spouse's PEP
Guarantee Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension shall be determined in
accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) below, whichever is
applicable, with reference to the PEP Guarantee (if any) that would
have been available to the Participant under Section
5.2.
(1) Normal Rule
: The Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension payable under this
paragraph shall be equal to the amount that would be payable as a
survivor annuity, under a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity, if
the Participant had:
(i) Separated from Service on the
date of death (or, if earlier, his actual Separation from
Service);
(ii) Commenced a Qualified Joint and
Survivor Annuity on the same date payments of the Qualified
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension are to commence; and
(iii) Died on the day immediately
following such commencement.
(2) Special Rule for Active and
Disabled Employees : Notwithstanding paragraph (1)
above, the Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension paid on behalf of a
Participant described in Section 4.6(a) shall not be less than an
amount equal to 25 percent of such Participant's PEP Guarantee (if
any) determined under Section 5.2. For this purpose,
Credited Service shall be determined as provided in Section
3.3(d)(2) of the Salaried Plan, and the deceased Participant's
Highest Average Monthly Earnings, Primary Social Secu
