Interpretation of Plan . The Committee shall have

|
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 the total of (i) 65 million plus
(ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying
awards under the Prior Plans that are cancelled or expire after the
effective date of the Plan without delivery of shares. 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 of Common
Stock will be exclusively available for issuance pursuant to Awards
under the SharePower Program;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
no more than 20 million of the authorized shares of Common
Stock may be issued pursuant to Awards other than Options or
SARs;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
no more than 45 million of the authorized shares of Common
Stock may be issued in the form of ISOs; and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
no more than 150,000 of the authorized shares of Common Stock
may be issued in connection with (A) Restricted Shares or
Restricted Stock Units having a time-based Restriction Period less
than three years (but in no event less than one year), subject to
acceleration due to the Participant’s death, total
disability, retirement or retirement eligibility;
(B) Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units having a
time-based Restriction Period that is actually accelerated due to a
Participant’s transfer to an affiliated business; or
(C) Stock Awards having a restriction on transferability of
less than three years (not including transfers to satisfy required
tax withholding or intra-family transfers permitted by the
Committee), subject to acceleration due to the Participant’s
death or total disability, in each case described in (A),
(B) or (C) above as specified in the applicable award
agreement; provided that such limitation shall not be applicable to
Payment Shares.
|
7
|
|
(b)
|
Share Counting . The following rules shall
apply in determining the number of shares of Common Stock remaining
available for grant under the Plan:
|
|
|
(i)
|
In connection with the granting of an Option or other Award, the
number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock in
respect of which the Option or Award is granted or denominated,
including the number of phantom shares of Common Stock under the
Director Deferral Program payable in Payment Shares pursuant to
Section 8(d). For example, upon the grant of stock-settled
SARs, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance
under the Plan shall be reduced by the full number of SARs granted,
and the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance
under the Plan shall not thereafter be increased upon the exercise
of the SARs and settlement in shares of Common Stock, even if the
actual number of shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of
the SARs is less than the full number of SARs exercised. However,
Awards that by their terms do not permit settlement in shares of
Common Stock shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Any shares of Common Stock that are tendered by a Participant or
withheld as full or partial payment of withholding or other taxes
or as payment for the exercise or conversion price of an Award
under the Plan shall not be added back to the number of shares of
Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.
|
|
|
(iii)
|
Whenever any outstanding Option or other Award (or portion
thereof) expires, is cancelled, is settled in cash rather than in
shares of Common Stock (pursuant to the terms of an Award that
permits but does not require cash settlement) or is otherwise
terminated for any reason without having been exercised or payment
having been made in the form of shares of Common Stock, the number
of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan
shall be increased by the number of shares of Common Stock
allocable to the expired, cancelled, settled or otherwise
terminated Option or other Award (or portion thereof).
|
|
|
(iv)
|
Any shares of Common Stock underlying Awards granted through the
assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards
previously granted to individuals who become employees of the
Company as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or
other corporate transaction involving the Company shall not, unless
required by law or regulation, count against the reserve of
available shares of Common Stock under the Plan.
|
8
|
|
(c)
|
Shares to be Delivered . The source of shares of
Common Stock to be delivered by the Company under the Plan shall be
determined by the Company and may consist in whole or in part of
authorized but unissued shares or repurchased shares.
|
6. Award Limitations.
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options and
SARs that can be granted to any Eligible Person during a single
calendar year shall not exceed two (2) million. The maximum
amount of Awards other than Options and SARs that can be granted to
any Eligible Person during a single calendar year shall not exceed
$15 million; provided that the foregoing limitation shall be
applied to an Award that is denominated in shares of Common Stock
on the basis of the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date
the Award is granted. Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in
the preceding sentence, the maximum Award that may be granted to
any Eligible Person for a Performance Period longer than one
calendar year shall not exceed the foregoing annual maximum
multiplied by the number of full calendar years in the Performance
Period.
7. Awards to Eligible Persons.
|
|
(i)
|
Grants . Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, Options may be granted to Eligible Persons. 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, at the Committee’s discretion, 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 (in which case the assumption or substitution
shall be accomplished in a manner that permits the Option to be
exempt from Code Section 409A).
|
|
|
(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 of NQSOs and SARs covering up to five
(5) million shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, may be
issued with a term of up to fifteen (15) years.
|
9
|
|
(iv)
|
ISO Limits . ISOs may be granted only to Eligible
Persons who are employees of PepsiCo or of any parent or subsidiary
corporation (within the meaning of Code Section 424) on the
date of grant, 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 or of any parent or subsidiary
corporation (within the meaning of Code Section 424). The
aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares of Common Stock with
respect to which ISOs are exercisable by a Participant for the
first time during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Company) shall not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as may
subsequently be specified by the Code and/or applicable
regulations. The aggregate Fair Market Value of such shares shall
be determined at the time the Option is granted. ISOs shall contain
such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable but
shall in all events be consistent with and contain or deem to
contain all provisions required in order to qualify as incentive
stock options under Code Section 422.
|
|
|
(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)
|
Form of Payment . The Option Exercise Price shall be
paid to the Company at the time of such exercise, subject to any
applicable rules or regulations adopted by the Committee:
|
|
|
(A)
|
to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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, statutory
minimum applicable taxes, brokerage commissions and SEC fees; any
remaining proceeds from the sale shall be delivered to the
Participant in cash or stock as specified by the Participant;
|
|
|
(B)
|
through the tender of shares of Common Stock owned by the
Participant (or by delivering a certification or attestation of
ownership of such shares) valued at their Fair Market Value on the
date of exercise;
|
10
|
|
(C)
|
in cash or its equivalent; or
|
|
|
(D)
|
by any combination of (A), (B), and (C) above.
