PROXY STATEMENT FOR PEPSICO'S I, III
MAY 6, 1998 ANNUAL MEETING
OF SHAREHOLDERS
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
PepsiCo, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1919 and was
reincorporated in North Carolina in 1986. Unless the context indicates
otherwise, when used in this Report the term "PepsiCo" shall mean the Company
and its divisions and subsidiaries. PepsiCo is engaged in the beverage and snack
food businesses. On October 6, 1997, the Company spun off certain of its
restaurant businesses, consisting of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC, to
shareholders as an independent publicly-traded company. In addition, in 1997 the
Company disposed of PFS, its restaurant distribution operation and its non-core
restaurant businesses.
BEVERAGES
PepsiCo's beverage businesses, which operate as Pepsi-Cola Company, are
comprised of two business units: Pepsi-Cola North America ("PCNA"), and
Pepsi-Cola Company International ("PCI").
PCNA manufactures and sells beverage products, primarily soft drinks and
soft drink concentrates, in the United States and Canada. PCNA sells its
concentrates to licensed bottlers ("Pepsi-Cola bottlers"). Under appointments
from PepsiCo, Pepsi-Cola bottlers manufacture, sell and distribute, within
defined territories, soft drinks and syrups bearing trademarks owned by PepsiCo,
including PEPSI-COLA, DIET PEPSI, MOUNTAIN DEW, SLICE, MUG, ALL SPORT and,
within Canada, 7UP and DIET 7UP (these products are sometimes referred to as
"Pepsi-Cola beverages"). The Pepsi/Lipton Tea Partnership, a joint venture of
PCNA and Lipton, develops and sells tea concentrate to Pepsi-Cola bottlers and
develops and markets ready-to-drink tea products under the LIPTON trademark.
Such products are distributed by Pepsi-Cola bottlers throughout the United
States and Canada.
Pepsi-Cola beverages are manufactured in approximately 165 plants located
throughout the United States and Canada. PCNA operates approximately 60 plants,
and manufactures, sells and distributes beverages throughout approximately 450
licensed territories, accounting for approximately 60% of the Pepsi-Cola
beverages sold in the United States and Canada. Approximately 105 plants are
operated by independent licensees or unconsolidated affiliates, which
manufacture, sell and distribute approximately 40% of the Pepsi-Cola beverages
sold in the United States and Canada. PCNA has a minority interest in 8 of these
licensees, comprising approximately 70 licensed territories.
PCI manufactures and sells beverage products, primarily soft drinks and
soft drink concentrates, outside the United States and Canada. PCI sells its
concentrates to Pepsi-Cola bottlers. Under appointments from PepsiCo, Pepsi-Cola
bottlers manufacture, sell and distribute, within defined territories, beverages
bearing PEPSI-COLA, 7UP, MIRINDA, DIET PEPSI, PEPSI MAX, MOUNTAIN DEW, DIET 7UP
and other trademarks. PCI operates 37 plants bottling PepsiCo beverage products.
There are approximately 275 plants operated by independent licensees or
unconsolidated affiliates bottling PepsiCo's beverage products which are
available in 186 countries and territories outside the United States and Canada.
Principal international markets include Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Mexico,
the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
2
PCNA and PCI make programs available to assist licensed bottlers in
servicing markets, expanding operations and improving production methods and
facilities. PCNA and PCI also offer assistance to Pepsi-Cola bottlers in the
distribution, advertising and marketing of PepsiCo's beverage products and offer
sales assistance through special merchandising and promotional programs and by
training bottler personnel. PCNA and PCI maintain control over the composition
and quality of beverages sold under PepsiCo trademarks.
SNACK FOODS
PepsiCo's snack food businesses, which operate as The Frito-Lay Company,
are comprised of Frito-Lay North America ("Frito-Lay") and Frito-Lay
International ("FLI").
Frito-Lay manufactures and sells a varied line of salty snack foods
throughout the United States and Canada, including LAY'S and RUFFLES brand
potato chips, DORITOS and TOSTITOS brand tortilla chips, FRITOS brand corn
chips, CHEEoTOS brand cheese flavored snacks, ROLD GOLD brand pretzels and
SUNCHIPS brand multigrain snacks.
Frito-Lay's products are transported from its manufacturing plants to
major distribution centers, principally by company-owned trucks. Frito-Lay
utilizes a "store-door-delivery" system, whereby its approximately 20,000 person
sales force delivers the snacks directly to the store shelf. This system permits
Frito-Lay to work closely with approximately 500,000 retail trade customers
weekly and to be responsive to their needs. Frito-Lay believes this form of
distribution is a valuable marketing tool and is essential for the proper
distribution of products with a short shelf life.
FLI's products are available in 111 countries outside the United States
and Canada through company-owned facilities and unconsolidated affiliates. On
most of the European continent, PepsiCo's snack food business consists of Snack
Ventures Europe, a joint venture between PepsiCo and General Mills, Inc., in
which PepsiCo owns a 60% interest. FLI also sells a variety of snack food
products which appeal to local tastes including, for example, WALKERS brand
snack foods, sold in the United Kingdom, WEDEL brand sweet snacks, sold in
Poland, and GAMESA brand cookies and ALEGRO brand sweet snacks, which are sold
in Mexico. In addition, RUFFLES, LAY'S, CHEEoTOS, DORITOS, FRITOS, TOSTITOS, and
SUNCHIPS brand salty snack foods have been introduced to international markets.
Principal international markets include Brazil, France, Mexico, Poland, the
Netherlands, South Africa, Spain and the United Kingdom.
COMPETITION
Both of PepsiCo's businesses are highly competitive. PepsiCo's beverages
and snack foods compete in the United States and internationally with widely
distributed products of a number of major companies that have plants in many of
the areas PepsiCo serves, as well as with private label soft drinks and snack
foods and with the products of local and regional manufacturers. For PepsiCo's
industry segments, the main areas of competition are price, quality and variety
of products, and customer service.
3
EMPLOYEES
At December 27, 1997, PepsiCo employed, subject to seasonal variations,
approximately 142,000 persons (including approximately 12,000 part-time
employees), of whom approximately 79,000 (including approximately 10,000
part-time employees) were employed within the United States. PepsiCo believes
that its relations with employees are generally good.
RAW MATERIALS AND OTHER SUPPLIES
The principal materials used by PepsiCo in its beverage and snack food
businesses are corn sweeteners, sugar, aspartame, flavorings, vegetable and
essential oils, potatoes, corn, flour, seasonings and packaging materials. Since
PepsiCo relies on trucks to move and distribute many of its products, fuel is
also an important commodity. PepsiCo employs specialists to secure adequate
supplies of many of these items and has not experienced any significant
continuous shortages. Prices paid by PepsiCo for such items are subject to
fluctuation. When prices increase, PepsiCo may or may not pass on such increases
to its customers. Generally, when PepsiCo has decided to pass along price
increases, it has done so successfully. There is no assurance that PepsiCo will
be able to do so in the future.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
The conduct of PepsiCo's businesses, and the production, distribution and
use of many of its products, are subject to various federal laws, such as the
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the
Americans with Disabilities Act. The conduct of PepsiCo's businesses is also
subject to state, local and foreign laws.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES AND FRANCHISES
PepsiCo owns numerous valuable trademarks which are essential to PepsiCo's
worldwide businesses, including PEPSI-COLA, PEPSI, DIET PEPSI, PEPSI MAX,
MOUNTAIN DEW, SLICE, MUG, ALL SPORT, 7UP and DIET 7UP (outside the United
States), MIRINDA, FRITO-LAY, LAY'S, DORITOS, RUFFLES, TOSTITOS, FRITOS,
CHEEoTOS, CRACKER JACK, ROLD GOLD, SUNCHIPS, SANTITAS, SMARTFOOD, SABRITAS and
WALKERS. Trademarks remain valid so long as they are used properly for
identification purposes, and PepsiCo emphasizes correct use of its trademarks.
PepsiCo has authorized (through licensing or franchise arrangements) the use of
many of its trademarks in such contexts as Pepsi-Cola bottling appointments and
snack food joint ventures. In addition, PepsiCo licenses the use of its
trademarks on collateral products for the primary purpose of enhancing brand
awareness.
PepsiCo either owns or has licenses to use a number of patents which relate
to certain of its products and the processes for their production and to the
design and operation of various equipment used in its businesses. Some of these
patents are licensed to others.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
PepsiCo continues to make expenditures in order to comply with federal,
state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, which expenditures
have not been material with respect to PepsiCo's capital expenditures, net
income or competitive position.
4
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Information as to net sales, operating profit and identifiable assets for
each of PepsiCo's industry segments and major geographic areas of operations, as
well as capital spending, acquisitions and investments in unconsolidated
affiliates, amortization of intangible assets and depreciation expense for each
industry segment for 1997, 1996 and 1995 is contained in Item 8 "Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data" in Note 17 on page F-23.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
BEVERAGES
PepsiCo's beverage business operates 111 plants throughout the world, of
which 93 are owned and 18 are leased, and unconsolidated affiliates operate
approximately 74 plants. In addition, PepsiCo's beverage business operates
approximately 365 warehouses or offices in the United States and Canada, of
which approximately 250 are owned and approximately 115 are leased.
PepsiCo owns a research and technical facility in Valhalla, New York, for
its beverage businesses. PepsiCo also owns the headquarters facilities for its
beverage businesses in Somers, New York. PepsiCo is seeking a buyer for the
Somers facility, and certain departments of the beverage businesses will be
moving to Purchase, New York to share the corporate headquarters building.
SNACK FOODS
Frito-Lay operates 55 food manufacturing and processing plants in the
United States and Canada, of which 49 are owned and 6 are leased. In addition,
Frito-Lay owns 182 warehouses and distribution centers and leases approximately
40 warehouses and distribution centers for storage of food products in the
United States and Canada. Approximately 1,675 smaller warehouses and storage
spaces located throughout the United States and Canada are leased or owned.
Frito-Lay owns its headquarters building and a research facility in Plano,
Texas. Frito-Lay also leases offices in Dallas, Texas and leases or owns
sales/regional offices throughout the United States. PepsiCo's snack food
businesses also operate approximately 70 plants and approximately 930
distribution centers, warehouses and offices outside of the United States and
Canada.
GENERAL
The Company owns its corporate headquarters buildings in Purchase, New
York.
With a few exceptions, leases of plants in the United States and Canada
are on a long-term basis, expiring at various times, with options to renew for
additional periods. Most international plants are leased for varying and usually
shorter periods, with or without renewal options.
PepsiCo believes that its properties are in good operating condition and
are suitable for the purposes for which they are being used.
5
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
PepsiCo is subject to various claims and contingencies related to
lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal
course of business. Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, of
the claims and contingencies in excess of amounts already provided for, is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on PepsiCo's annual results of
operations or financial condition.

Flows and Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management's Discussion and Analysis
All per share information is computed using average shares outstanding, assuming

INTRODUCTION
Management's Discussion and Analysis is presented in four sections. The
introductory section discusses the 1997 Disposal of the Restaurants Segment and
two pervasive issues impacting many companies, Market Risk and Year 2000 (pages
9-11). The second section analyzes the Results of Operations, first on a
consolidated basis and then for each of our two
8
industry segments (pages 11-23). The final two sections address our consolidated
Cash Flows and Liquidity and Capital Resources (pages 23-26).
Cautionary Statements
From time to time, in written reports and oral statements, we discuss our
expectations regarding PepsiCo's future performance. These "forward-looking
statements" are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic
data and our operating plans. They are also inherently uncertain, and investors
must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from
what we expect.
Disposal of the Restaurants Segment
On August 14, 1997 we announced that our Board of Directors approved a formal
plan to spin off our restaurant businesses to our shareholders. Under the plan,
owners of PepsiCo capital stock as of September 19, 1997 received one share of
common stock of the new restaurant company, TRICON Global Restaurants, Inc.
(TRICON), for every ten shares of PepsiCo capital stock. The spin-off was
completed on October 6, 1997 (Distribution Date). In 1997, we also sold PepsiCo
Food Systems (PFS), the restaurant distribution operation and all of the
non-core U.S. restaurant businesses. As a result, the sales, costs and expenses,
assets and liabilities, and cash flows of the Restaurants segment have been
classified as discontinued operations in our financial statements. See Note 4.
Accordingly, the discussions that follow focus on the continuing operations of
our packaged goods businesses.
Market Risk
The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes
in market rates and prices) to which we are exposed are:
- interest rates on our debt and short-term investment portfolios;
- foreign exchange rates, generating translation and transaction gains and
losses and
- commodity prices, affecting the cost of our products.
Interest Rates
PepsiCo centrally manages its debt and investment portfolios considering
investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing
strategies.
We use interest rate and currency swaps to effectively change the
interest rate and currency of specific debt issuances with the objective of
reducing our overall borrowing costs. These swaps are generally entered into
concurrently with the issuance of the debt they are intended to modify. The
notional amount, interest payment and maturity dates of the swaps match the
principal, interest payment and maturity dates of the related debt. Accordingly,
any market risk or opportunity associated with these swaps is offset by the
opposite market impact on the related debt.
Our investment portfolios consist of cash equivalents and short-term
marketable securities; accordingly, the carrying amounts approximate market
value. It is our practice to hold these investments to maturity.
9
Assuming year-end 1997 variable rate debt and investment levels, a
one-point change in interest rates would impact net interest expense by $13
million.
Foreign Exchange
Operating in international markets sometimes involves exposure to volatile
movements in currency exchange rates. The economic impact of currency exchange
rate movements on us is complex because such changes are often linked to
variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and
other factors. These changes, if material, can cause us to adjust our financing
and operating strategies. Consequently, isolating the effect of changes in
currency does not incorporate these other important economic factors.
International operations constitute about 16% percent of our 1997
consolidated operating profit, excluding unusual items. As currency exchange
rates change, translation of the income statements of our international
businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating
results. We do not generally hedge translation risks because cash flows from
international operations are generally reinvested locally. We do not enter into
hedges to minimize volatility of reported earnings because we do not believe it
is justified by the exposure or the cost.
Changes in currency exchange rates that would have the largest impact
on translating our international operating profit include the Mexican peso,
British pound, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real. We estimate that a 10% change
in foreign exchange rates would impact reported operating profit by less than
$50 million. This represents 10% of the international segment operating profit
(disclosed on page F-27) after adjusting for unusual items. We believe that this
quantitative measure has inherent limitations because, as discussed in the first
paragraph of this section, it does not take into account any governmental
actions or changes in either customer purchasing patterns or our financing and
operating strategies.
Foreign exchange gains and losses reflect transaction gains and losses
and translation gains and losses arising from the remeasurement into U.S.
dollars of the net monetary assets of businesses in highly inflationary
countries. Transaction gains and losses arise from monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in currencies other than a business unit's functional
currency. Net foreign exchange gains and losses were not material to our
earnings for the last three years.
The sensitivity analyses presented in the interest and foreign exchange
discussions above disregard the possibility that rates can move in opposite
directions and that gains from one category may or may not be offset by losses
from another category and vice versa.
Commodities
We are subject to market risk with respect to commodities because our ability to
recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited by the competitive
environment in which we operate. We use futures contracts to hedge immaterial
amounts of our commodity purchases.
10
Year 2000
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs using two digits rather
than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have
date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in system failures or miscalculations
leading to disruptions in a company's operations. If either we, our significant
customers or suppliers fail to correct Year 2000 issues, such failure could have
a significant impact on our ability to operate our businesses. However, the
impact cannot be quantified at this time.
We are in the process of taking actions to address and complete the
work associated with the Year 2000. Each of our business segments and Corporate
have established teams to identify and correct Year 2000 issues. Internal
software with non-compliant code is expected to be fixed or replaced with
software that is Year 2000 compliant. Similar attention is being given to
technology infrastructures, manufacturing plants and building facilities to
achieve compliance in all these areas. The teams are also charged with
investigating the Year 2000 capabilities of suppliers, customers and other
external entities, and with developing contingency plans where necessary.
An inventory and assessment of all computer systems and application
software have been completed, and plans for establishing compliance have been
developed in the U.S. These plans identify which non-compliant hardware and
software will be corrected, upgraded or replaced; the timetable and resource
requirements to achieve those objectives and estimated associated costs.
Remediation and testing activities are under way at both Pepsi-Cola and
Frito-Lay. Most of our larger international operations have made similar
progress, while some of our smaller international operations, which are
generally less automated, are still developing their strategies.
We do not expect Year 2000 spending to materially affect consolidated
profitability or liquidity. This expectation assumes that our existing forecast
of costs to be incurred contemplates all significant actions required and that
we will not be obligated to incur significant Year 2000 related costs on behalf
of our customers or suppliers. About 40% of the total estimated spending
represents replacement systems that, in addition to being Year 2000 compliant,
provide significantly enhanced capability which will benefit operations in
future years.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated Review
Net Sales rose $580 million or 3% in 1997, reflecting volume gains, partially
offset by the impact of unfavorable currency translation. Net sales rose $1.3
billion or 7% in 1996, reflecting net volume gains and higher effective net
pricing (including the effect of product, package and country mix) in both of
our business segments. These gains were partially offset by an unfavorable
foreign currency translation impact. Volume gains in both years were driven by
worldwide Snack Foods and North American Beverages.
11
Cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased .8 of a point to 40.8 percent
in 1997, primarily reflecting favorable raw material costs in International
Beverages and, the leveraging effect of higher pricing partially offset by
increased costs for new plant capacity and the planned introduction of new
products in 1998 by North American Snack Foods. Cost of sales as a percent of
net sales decreased .6 of a point to 41.6 percent in 1996 primarily due to lower
raw materials costs in North American Beverages coupled with the leveraging
effect of the higher effective net pricing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) comprises selling and
distribution expenses (S&D), advertising and marketing expenses (A&M), general
and administrative expenses (G&A), other income and expense and equity income or
loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates. In 1997, SG&A grew 2%, or at
a slower rate than sales. This primarily reflects equity income from our
investments in unconsolidated affiliates, compared to losses a year ago, and A&M
growing at a significantly slower rate than sales. The change in equity income
primarily reflects the absence of losses from our Latin American bottler, Buenos
Aires Embotelladora S.A. (BAESA). G&A grew significantly faster than sales,
reflecting information systems-related expenses, customer focus leadership
training and infrastructure costs related to our new fountain beverage sales
team. These increased expenses were partially offset by savings from a prior
year restructuring and the consolidation of certain administrative functions.
In 1996, A&M and S&D grew faster than net sales, driving an 11%
increase in SG&A, led by International Beverages. Equity losses from our
unconsolidated affiliates, compared to equity income in 1995, primarily reflect
our share of operating losses from BAESA.
Amortization of intangible assets declined 3% to $199 million and 1% to $206
million in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Unusual items of $290 million ($239 million after-tax or $0.15 per share) in
1997 and $576 million ($527 million after-tax or $0.33 per share) in 1996 relate
to decisions to dispose of and write down assets, improve productivity and
strengthen the international bottler structure. See Note 2. The 1995 charge of

In 1997, reported operating profit increased $622 million. Ongoing operating
profit increased $336 million reflecting segment operating profit growth of $392
million or 14%, partially offset by a $56 million or 32% increase in unallocated
expenses. The increase in segment operating profit primarily reflects the volume
gains and lower raw material costs in worldwide Beverages. The increase in
unallocated expenses relates to higher corporate expenses and foreign exchange
losses in 1997 compared to gains in 1996.
In 1996, reported operating profit declined $566 million. Ongoing
operating profit decreased $56 million due to a $30 million or 21% increase in
unallocated expenses and a combined segment operating profit decrease of $26
million or 1%. The increased unallocated expenses relate to centrally
administered benefit plans and higher corporate expenses. The decline in segment
operating profit reflects increased costs in excess of higher effective net
pricing, partially offset by volume gains. The change in ongoing segment
operating profit also includes unfavorable currency translation impacts.
Interest expense, net of interest income, declined $121 million or 26%. Interest
expense declined $87 million or 15% in 1997, primarily reflecting lower average
U.S. debt levels. Debt levels were reduced using a portion of the cash flows
provided by discontinued operations and proceeds repatriated from our
investments in Puerto Rico. The repatriation of funds resulted from a 1996
change in tax law which eliminated a tax exemption on investment income in
Puerto Rico. Interest income increased $34 million or 37% reflecting higher
average investment levels, which also benefited from cash flows provided by
discontinued operations.
Interest expense, net of interest income in 1996 declined $41 million
or 8%, reflecting lower international debt levels and U.S. interest rates.

Our 1997 reported effective tax rate decreased 4.4 points to 35.4%. Our ongoing
effective tax rate increased 2.0 points to 33.4%, primarily reflecting the
absence of cumulative tax credits recognized in 1996 that related to prior
years, lower benefits in 1997 from the current year resolution of prior years'
audit issues and other individually immaterial items.
Our 1996 reported effective tax rate increased 7.8 points to 39.8%. Our
ongoing effective tax rate remained about even with the prior year as lower
benefits from the current year resolution of prior years' audit issues were
offset by the cumulative tax credits related to prior years and other
individually immaterial items.

System bottler case sales (BCS) is our standard volume measure. It represents
PepsiCo-owned brands as well as brands we have been granted the right to
produce, distribute and market nationally.
1997 vs. 1996
North America
Net sales increased $118 million reflecting volume growth, led by take-home
packaged products, partially offset by lower effective net pricing. The decrease
in effective net pricing was primarily in take-home packaged products,
reflecting an intensely competitive environment.
BCS increased 4%, primarily reflecting double-digit growth by the
Mountain Dew brand. Non-carbonated soft drink products, led by Aquafina bottled
water and Lipton Brisk tea, grew at a double-digit rate. Our concentrate
shipments to franchisees grew at a slower rate than their BCS growth during the
year.
18
Reported operating profit declined $115 million. Ongoing operating
profit declined $63 million, reflecting the lower effective net pricing, higher
S&D costs and increased A&M. S&D grew significantly faster than sales, but in
line with volume. A&M grew significantly faster than sales and volume, primarily
reflecting above average levels of expenditures late in 1997. These unfavorable
items were partially offset by the volume gains and lower packaging and
commodity costs. G&A savings from centralizing certain administrative functions
were fully offset by Year 2000 spending and infrastructure development costs
related to our new fountain beverage sales team. The decline in ongoing
operating profit also reflects lapping 1996 gains from the sale of an investment
in a bottling cooperative and a settlement made with a supplier.
International
Net sales declined $164 million. The decline was due to unfavorable currency
translation effects, primarily driven by Spain and Japan.
BCS increased 1%. Strong double-digit growth in China, the Philippines
and India was partially offset by double-digit declines in Brazil, Venezuela and
South Africa. The declines in Venezuela and South Africa reflect the impact of
the unexpected loss of our bottler in August 1996 and the cessation of our joint
venture operation, respectively. In November 1996, we entered into a new joint
venture to replace the Venezuelan bottler. Total concentrate shipments to
franchisees increased at about the same rate as their BCS.
Reported operating losses declined $693 million. Ongoing operating
results improved by $271 million, reflecting a small profit in 1997 compared to
a loss in 1996. The increase in ongoing operating results was driven by lower
manufacturing costs, reduced net losses from our investments in unconsolidated
affiliates and lower G&A expenses. Operating results also benefited from the
lapping of 1996's higher-than-normal expenses from fourth quarter balance sheet
adjustments and actions. The lower manufacturing costs were primarily due to
favorable raw material costs and lower depreciation resulting from certain
businesses held for disposal. The reduced net losses from our unconsolidated
affiliates were primarily driven by the absence of losses from BAESA. The lower
G&A expenses reflect savings from our fourth quarter 1996 restructuring of about
$70 million.
19
1996 vs. 1995
North America
Net sales rose $307 million. The gain reflects volume growth, led by carbonated
soft drink products, and higher effective net pricing.
BCS increased 4%, with solid increases in Brand Pepsi and the Mountain
Dew brand. Non-carbonated soft drink products, led by Aquafina bottled water and
Hawaiian Punch fountain syrup, grew at a double-digit rate. Our concentrate
shipments to franchisees grew at a slightly faster rate than their BCS growth.
Operating profit increased $174 million. The growth reflects the volume
gains, lower product costs and the higher effective net pricing. A&M expenses
grew significantly faster than sales, primarily due to the Pepsi Stuff
promotion. S&D expenses grew at the same rate as sales and volume. Profit growth
was aided by lapping charges taken in 1995, primarily for losses on supply
contracts, take-or-pay co-packing penalties and a write down of excess
co-packing assets. A 1996 gain on the sale of an investment in a bottling
cooperative and a 1996 settlement with a supplier for purchases made in prior
years also helped profit growth.
Benefits of approximately $130 million related to the 1992 U.S.
restructuring were achieved in 1996 due to the centralization of purchasing and
improved administrative and business processes. All benefits from the
restructuring will be reinvested in the business.
International
In 1996 we began to implement a new strategy to focus on building our core
business in markets in which we are already strong and in certain emerging
markets. Decisions were made accordingly to dispose of certain businesses and to
restructure operations, resulting in unusual impairment and restructuring
charges. Liabilities associated with the restructuring charge were expected to
be paid by the end of 1997 and the restructuring was expected to generate about
$50 million in savings in 1997 and about $80 million a year thereafter.
Net sales declined $187 million, primarily due to unfavorable currency
translation impacts and lower volume. The volume decline reflects lower
concentrate shipments to franchisees, partially offset by higher packaged
product sales to retailers.
BCS decreased 2%. Excluding the impact of the unexpected loss of our
Venezuelan bottler, BCS declined 1%. A single-digit decline in Latin America was
partially offset by strong double-digit growth in China and India. Our
concentrate shipments to franchisees declined at a significantly faster rate
than their BCS decline.
20
Reported operating results declined $958 million. Ongoing operating
results declined $382 million. The decline reflects broad-based increases in
A&M, higher-than-normal expenses from fourth quarter balance sheet adjustments
and actions, increased net losses from our unconsolidated affiliates and a
decline in volume. The increased net losses from our unconsolidated affiliates
were driven by our equity share of BAESA's operating losses.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pound and kilo sales are our standard volume measures. Pound and kilo growth are
reported on a systemwide basis, which includes both consolidated businesses and
unconsolidated affiliates operating for at least one year.
21
1997 vs. 1996
North America
Net sales grew $339 million reflecting increased volume and the benefit of
higher pricing taken on most major brands late in 1996.
Pound volume advanced 3%. Growth of our core brands, excluding their
low-fat and no-fat versions, was led by high single-digit growth in Lay's brand
potato chips, strong double-digit growth by Tostitos brand tortilla chips and
single-digit growth by Doritos brand tortilla chips. Baked Lay's brand potato
crisps reported low double-digit growth; however, the remainder of our low-fat
and no-fat snacks business depressed the overall growth rate.
Reported operating profit grew $128 million. Ongoing operating profit rose
$150 million, reflecting the higher pricing and volume growth, partially offset
by increased manufacturing costs and G&A expenses. The increased manufacturing
costs relate to new plant capacity and the planned introduction of new products
in 1998. S&D grew slower than sales, A&M was about even with prior year and G&A
increased significantly faster than sales reflecting information systems-related
expenses and customer focus leadership training. Operating profit growth was
hampered by lapping a 1996 gain from the sale of a non-core business.
International
Net sales increased $287 million reflecting volume gains and higher effective
net pricing.
Salty snack kilos rose 11%, led by strong double-digit growth by Sabritas
and our business in Brazil, while sweet snack kilos declined 5%, due to a market
contraction at Gamesa.
Reported operating profit decreased $28 million. Ongoing operating profit
increased $34 million. The increase primarily reflects volume gains partially
offset by increased G&A. The higher effective net pricing was fully offset by
inflation-driven higher operating and manufacturing costs, primarily in Mexico.
Ongoing operating profit also benefited from the gain on the sale of a flour
mill.
1996 vs. 1995
North America
Net sales grew $755 million. The increase reflects strong volume growth and
higher effective net pricing taken across all core brands in late 1995 and late
1996.
Pound volume advanced 9%, reflecting exceptional performance from the
low-fat and no-fat categories. These categories contributed over 45% of the
total pound growth, led by Baked Lay's brand potato crisps. Core brands,
excluding their low-fat and no-fat versions, had mid-single-digit growth led by
double-digit growth in Lay's brand potato chips and strong double-digit growth
in Tostitos brand tortilla chips.
22
Operating profit grew $137 million. The increase reflects the volume
growth and the higher effective net pricing, which exceeded increased
promotional price allowances and merchandising support. The growth rate of
promotional price allowances moderated in the fourth quarter. These gains were
partially offset by higher operating and manufacturing costs and increased
administrative expenses. The increased operating costs reflect increased S&D and
A&M. S&D and manufacturing costs both reflect capacity costs and some
inefficiencies incurred to capture the volume opportunities created when
Anheuser-Busch exited the salty snack food business. These inefficiencies began
to moderate in the fourth quarter. The increase in operating expenses coupled
with higher G&A expenses, partially reflect investment spending to sustain
strong volume growth. This increased investment spending, including costs of
developing and testing new products, was partially offset by a gain on the sale
of a non-core business.
International
Net sales increased $395 million. This growth reflects inflation-based price
increases in Mexico and volume growth, partially offset by an unfavorable
currency translation impact, led by the peso.
Salty snack kilos rose 8%, reflecting double-digit growth at Sabritas
and strong single-digit growth in the U.K. Sweet snack kilos declined 2%, led by
a single-digit decline at Gamesa, due to marketwide contraction, and a
double-digit decline at Alegro, the sweet snack division of Sabritas.
Operating profit increased $45 million. The increase reflects higher
effective net pricing in advance of inflation-driven product and operating cost
increases, primarily in Mexico, and the increased volumes. These gains were
partially offset by increased administrative expenses and the net unfavorable
currency translation impact. A&M expenses increased, partially reflecting
investment in global advertising and design.
CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS
PepsiCo's 1997 consolidated cash and cash equivalents increased $1.6 billion
over the prior year reflecting a significant increase in cash provided by
discontinued operations, partially offset by increased cash outflows to reduce
debt, increase our investment portfolios and repurchase shares.
Net cash provided by operating activities rose $227 million or 7% to
$3.4 billion in 1997, driven by increased income before all noncash charges and
credits. Cash flow growth from operating working capital was reduced by the
year-over-year change in accounts payable and other current liabilities,
primarily due to lapping restructuring accruals recorded in the fourth quarter
of 1996.
Net cash used for investing activities nearly doubled in 1997 to $2.1
billion, primarily reflecting a $1.5 billion swing in our short-term investment
portfolio activity, partially offset by $178 million of increased proceeds from
sales of businesses and reduced
23
capital spending of $124 million. The change in our short-term investment
portfolio activity primarily reflects investing a portion of the cash flows
provided by discontinued operations. This compares to 1996 when we repatriated
the proceeds from our maturing investments in Puerto Rico as a result of the
Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996. This tax law eliminated our exemption
from U.S. Federal income tax on investment income generated in Puerto Rico. The
repatriated proceeds were used to reduce outstanding commercial paper debt. The
cash flow from sales of businesses in 1997 primarily reflects the sale of
international bottling operations and our investment in a non-core international
snack food business. Lower capital spending was driven by North American Snack
Foods. The decline reflects the lapping of 1996 capital spending incurred to
capture volume opportunities created when Anheuser-Busch exited the salty snack
food business, partially offset by 1997 new product-related spending. Spending
on acquisitions and investments in unconsolidated affiliates is expected to
increase in 1998.
Net cash used for financing activities more than doubled to $6.0
billion in 1997. The increase primarily reflects increased net debt repayments
of $2.5 billion and share repurchases.

At December 27, 1997, 132 million shares were available under the current
repurchase authority granted by our Board of Directors.
Net cash flow provided by discontinued operations increased $5.6
billion in 1997. The significant increase primarily reflects a $4.5 billion cash
distribution received from TRICON just prior to the Restaurant spin-off. In
addition, it reflects after-tax cash proceeds of $1.0 billion associated with
the sale of PFS and the non-core U.S. restaurant businesses, the effects of
refranchising restaurants and other operating activities.
24
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a measure we use internally to evaluate our cash flow
performance and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute
for, other measures of financial performance in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. These funds provide us with flexibility to
reduce our debt outstanding, repurchase shares or make strategic investments and
acquisitions.

The $6.3 billion increase in free cash flow in 1997 largely reflects our
strategic initiative to exit the restaurant business. In addition, free cash
flow from continuing operations nearly doubled with improved cash flows from
operating activities, larger proceeds arising from the sale of businesses and
reduced capital spending. Both continuing and discontinued operations
contributed to the $268 million or 25% increase in the 1996 free cash flow.
25
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At year-end 1997, $2.1 billion of short-term borrowings were reclassified as
long-term, reflecting our intent and ability, through the existence of our
unused revolving credit facilities, to refinance these borrowings. Our unused
credit facilities, which exist largely to support the issuances of short-term
debt, were $2.75 billion and $3.5 billion at year-end 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Annually, these facilities can be extended an additional year upon
the mutual consent of PepsiCo and the lending institutions. We reduced our
credit facilities by $750 million at year-end 1997 due to decreased borrowing
needs.
Our net debt level, which reflects the pro forma remittance of
investment portfolios (net of related taxes) as a reduction of total debt, and
leverage at year-end 1997 were lower than prior years. We plan to gradually
releverage over time.
Our strong cash-generating capability and financial condition give us
ready access to capital markets throughout the world.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(tabular dollars in millions except per share amounts; all per share
amounts assume dilution)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform with
the 1997 presentation, including classifying our Restaurants segment as
discontinued operations. The consolidated financial statements for all years
have been restated. See Note 4.
Principles of Consolidation. The financial statements reflect the
consolidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. and its controlled affiliates.
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in
unconsolidated affiliates in which PepsiCo exercises significant influence but
not control are accounted for by the equity method and PepsiCo's share of the
net income or loss of its unconsolidated affiliates is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses.
Marketing Costs. Marketing costs are reported in selling, general and
administrative expenses and include costs of advertising and other marketing
activities. Marketing costs not deferred at year-end are charged to expense
ratably in relation to sales over the year in which incurred. Advertising
expenses were $1.8 billion, $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion in 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Advertising expenses deferred at year-end, which are
classified as prepaid expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, were $53
million and $37 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Deferred advertising
consists of media and personal service advertising- related prepayments,
promotional materials in inventory and production costs of future media
advertising; these assets are expensed in the year first used.
Stock-Based Compensation. PepsiCo measures stock-based compensation cost as
the excess of the quoted market price of PepsiCo's capital stock at the grant
date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. PepsiCo's policy is to
generally grant stock options at fair market value at the date of grant;
accordingly, no compensation cost is incurred.
Derivative Instruments. The interest differential to be paid or received on
an interest rate swap is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as the
differential occurs. The interest differential not yet settled in cash is
reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a receivable or payable under the
appropriate current asset or liability caption. If an interest rate swap
position was to be terminated, the gain or loss realized upon termination would
be deferred and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the
underlying debt instrument it was intended to modify or would be recognized
immediately if the underlying debt instrument was settled prior to maturity.
The differential to be paid or received on a currency swap related to
non-U.S. dollar denominated debt is charged or credited to income as the
F - 8
differential occurs. This is fully offset by the corresponding gain or loss
recognized in income on the currency translation of the debt, as both amounts
are based upon the same exchange rates. The currency differential not yet
settled in cash is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under the
appropriate current or noncurrent receivable or payable caption. If a currency
swap position was to be terminated prior to maturity, the gain or loss realized
upon termination would be immediately recognized in income.
Gains and losses on futures contracts designated as hedges of future
commodity purchases are deferred and included in the cost of the related raw
materials when purchased. Changes in the value of futures contracts used to
hedge commodity purchases are highly correlated to the changes in the value of
the purchased commodity. If the degree of correlation between the futures
contracts and the purchased commodity were to ever significantly diminish during
the contract term, subsequent changes in the value of the futures contracts
would be recognized in income.
Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents represent funds temporarily invested,
with original maturities not exceeding three months, as part of PepsiCo's
management of day-to-day operating cash receipts and disbursements. All other
investment portfolios are primarily classified as short-term investments.
Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (computed on the
average, first-in, first-out or last-in, first-out method) or net realizable
value.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) are
stated at cost, except for PP&E that have been impaired, for which the carrying
amount is reduced to estimated net realizable value. Depreciation is calculated
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis
over appropriate periods, generally ranging from 20 to 40 years.
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets to be Held and Used in the Business.
All long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."
Assets are generally grouped at the country level, by segment, for this purpose.
An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair market value based
on the best information available; estimated fair market value is generally
measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management
judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly,
actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.

Note 2 - Unusual Items Affecting Comparability of Income From Continuing
Operations

Net loss $ 290 $ 576 $ 66
After-tax $ 239 $ 527 $ 64
Per share $0.15 $0.33 $0.04
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 1997 and 1996 unusual items include impairment charges of $200 million and
$373 million, respectively, (see Note 3). The 1997 net charge to strengthen the
international bottler structure includes proceeds of $87 million associated with
a settlement related to a previous Venezuelan bottler agreement, which were
partially offset by related costs.
The 1995 initial, noncash charge reflects the early adoption of SFAS 121
(see Note 3).

By Segment
Beverages $ 162 $ 373 $ 62
Snack Foods 38 - 4
$ 200 $ 373 $ 66
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The charges associated with assets to be held and used in the business reflect a
reduction in forecasted cash flows attributable to increased competitive
activity and weakened macroeconomic factors in various geographic regions. The
net charges for disposal of assets primarily reflect strategic decisions to
realign the international bottling system, restructure certain Snack Foods
operations and exit certain businesses. We anticipate the disposal of assets to
be completed in 1998.
F - 10
PepsiCo early adopted SFAS 121 as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of
1995. The initial, noncash charge resulted from PepsiCo grouping assets at a
lower level than under its previous accounting policy for evaluating and
measuring impairment.
Note 4 - Discontinued Operations
The Restaurants segment was composed of the core restaurant businesses of Pizza
Hut, Taco Bell and KFC, PepsiCo Food Systems (PFS), the restaurant distribution
operation, and several non-core U.S. restaurant businesses. In 1997, PepsiCo
announced its intention to spin off its restaurant businesses to its
shareholders as an independent publicly traded company (Distribution) and sell
PFS separately. The spin-off was effective as a tax free Distribution on October
6, 1997 (Distribution Date). Owners of PepsiCo capital stock as of September 19,
1997 received one share of common stock of TRICON Global Restaurants, Inc.
(TRICON), the new company, for every ten shares of PepsiCo capital stock. Just
prior to the Distribution Date, PepsiCo received $4.5 billion in cash from
TRICON as repayment of certain amounts due and a dividend. PFS and the non-core
U.S. restaurant businesses were sold prior to the Distribution Date resulting in
after-tax cash proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion.
Income from discontinued operations:
1997 1996 1995
Net sales $ 8,375 $ 11,441 $ 11,328

The above amounts include costs directly associated with the spin-off but do not
include an allocation of PepsiCo interest or general and administrative
expenses.
Note 5 - Income Per Share
PepsiCo adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," in 1997. Application of its provisions results in
disclosure of two income per share measures, basic and assuming dilution, on the
face of the Consolidated Statement of Income.
F - 11
PepsiCo's reported net income represents its net income available to
common stockholders for purposes of computing both measures. The following
reconciles shares outstanding at the beginning of the year to average shares
outstanding used to compute both income per share measures.

Identifiable intangible assets primarily arise from the allocation of purchase
prices of businesses acquired. Amounts assigned to such identifiable intangibles
are based on independent appraisals or internal estimates. Goodwill represents
the residual purchase price after allocation to all identifiable net assets.
The above amounts are net of accumulated amortization of $1.7 billion and
$1.5 billion at year-end 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The interest rates in the above table include the effects of associated interest
rate and currency swaps at year-end 1997 and 1996. See Note 11 for a discussion
of PepsiCo's use of interest rate and currency swaps, its management of the
inherent credit risk and fair value information related to debt and interest
rate and currency swaps.
F - 13
The following table indicates the notional amount and weighted average
interest rates, by category, of interest rate swaps outstanding at year-end 1997
and 1996, respectively. The weighted average variable interest rates that
PepsiCo pays, which are primarily indexed to either commercial paper or LIBOR
rates, are based on rates as of the respective balance sheet date and are
subject to change. Terms of interest rate swaps match the terms of the debt they
modify. The swaps terminate at various dates through 2011.
1997 1996

- --------------------------------------------------------------------
At year-end 1997, approximately 77% of total debt was exposed to variable
interest rates, compared to 74% in 1996. In addition to variable rate long-term
debt, all debt with maturities of less than one year is categorized as variable
for purposes of this measure.
PepsiCo enters into currency swaps to hedge its currency exposure on
certain non-U.S. dollar denominated debt. At year-end 1997, the aggregate
carrying amount of the debt was $629 million and the payables under related
currency swaps were $104 million, resulting in a net effective U.S. dollar
liability of $733 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%,
including the effects of related interest rate swaps. At year-end 1996, the
carrying amount of this debt aggregates $1.8 billion and the receivables and
payables under related currency swaps aggregate $54 million and $59 million,
respectively, resulting in a net effective U.S. dollar liability of $1.8 billion
with a weighted average interest rate of 5.6%, including the effects of related
interest rate swaps.
At year-end 1997 and 1996, PepsiCo's unused revolving credit facilities
covering potential borrowings aggregate $2.75 billion and $3.5 billion,
respectively. The 1997 facilities expire in 2002. These credit facilities exist
largely to support the issuances of short-term borrowings and are available for
general corporate purposes.
At year-end 1997 and 1996, $2.1 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, of
short-term borrowings were classified as long-term debt, reflecting PepsiCo's
intent and ability, through the existence of the unused credit facilities, to
refinance these borrowings.
The annual maturities of long-term debt through 2002 are: 1998-$2.1
billion, 1999-$939 million, 2000-$746 million, 2001-$353 million and 2002- $330
million.
F - 14
Note 11 - Financial Instruments
Derivative Instruments
PepsiCo's policy prohibits the use of derivative instruments for trading
purposes and PepsiCo has procedures in place to monitor and control their use.
PepsiCo's use of derivative instruments is primarily limited to interest
rate and currency swaps, which are entered into with the objective of reducing
borrowing costs. PepsiCo enters into interest rate and currency swaps to
effectively change the interest rate and currency of specific debt issuances.
These swaps are entered into concurrently with the issuance of the debt they are
intended to modify. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity dates of
the swaps match the principal, interest payment and maturity dates of the
related debt. Accordingly, any market risk or opportunity associated with these
swaps is offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt. PepsiCo's
credit risk related to interest rate and currency swaps is considered low
because they are entered into only with strong creditworthy counterparties, are
generally settled on a net basis and are of relatively short duration. See Note
10 for the notional amounts, related interest rates and maturities of the
interest rate and currency swaps. See Management's Discussion and Analysis -
Market Risk beginning on page 9.

The carrying amounts in the above table are included in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet under the indicated captions, except for debt-related derivative
instruments (interest rate and currency swaps), which are included in the
appropriate current or noncurrent asset or liability caption. Short-term
investments consist primarily of debt securities and have been classified as
held-to-maturity. Noncurrent investments mature at various dates through 2000.
Because of the short maturity of cash equivalents and short-term
investments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value. The fair value of
noncurrent investments is based upon market quotes. The fair value of debt and
debt-related derivative instruments was estimated using market quotes and
calculations based on market rates.

Note 13 - Employee Stock Options
PepsiCo granted stock options to employees pursuant to three different incentive
plans - the SharePower Stock Option Plan (SharePower), the Long- Term Incentive
Plan (LTIP) and the Stock Option Incentive Plan (SOIP). SharePower stock options
were granted to essentially all full-time employees. The number of options
granted was based on each employee's annual earnings. The options generally
became exercisable ratably over 5 years and had to be exercised within 10 years
of the grant date.
F - 17
Under the SOIP and LTIP, stock options were granted to middle and senior
management employees, respectively. SOIP options were exercisable after 1 year
and had to be exercised within 10 years of the grant date. Most LTIP options
were exercisable after 4 years and had to be exercised within 10 years of the
grant date. In addition, certain LTIP options could be exchanged by employees
for a specified number of performance share units (PSUs) within 60 days of the
grant date. The value of a PSU was fixed at the value of a share of stock at the
grant date and vested 4 years from the grant date, contingent upon attainment of
prescribed Corporate performance goals. At year-end 1997, 1996 and 1995, there
were 801,000, 763,000 and 970,600 PSUs outstanding, respectively. Payment of
PSUs are made in cash and/or stock as approved by the Compensation Committee of
PepsiCo's Board of Directors. Amounts expensed in continuing operations for PSUs
were $4 million in both 1997 and 1996 and $5 million in 1995. At year-end 1997,
there were 41 million and 137 million shares available for grant under the SOIP
and LTIP, respectively.

operations is $1,436 million or $0.92 per share in 1997.
The pro forma amounts disclosed above are not fully representative of the
effects of stock-based awards because they exclude the pro forma cost related to
the unvested stock options granted before 1995.
The fair value of the options granted (including the modification) is
estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following

Note 14 - Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
PepsiCo provides postretirement health care benefits to eligible retired
employees and their dependents, principally in the U.S. Retirees who have 10
years of service and attain age 55 while in service with PepsiCo are eligible to
participate in the postretirement benefit plans. The plans are not funded and
include some retiree cost sharing beginning in 1993.
Postretirement benefit expense for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $34 million, $39
million and $36 million, respectively.
Postretirement benefit liability recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet:
1997 1996
Actuarial present value of postretirement
benefit obligation
Retirees $255 $275
Fully eligible active plan participants 100 96
Other active plan participants 173 154
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 528 525
Unrecognized gains 116 122
$644 $647
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The discount rate assumptions used to compute the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation were 7.4% and 7.8% in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Separate assumed health care cost trend rates are used for employees who
retire before and after retiree cost sharing was introduced. The assumed health
care cost trend rate for employees who retired before cost sharing was 7.4% for
1998, declining gradually to 5.5% in 2005 and thereafter. For employees retiring
after the introduction of cost sharing, the trend rate was 6.5% for 1998,
declining to zero in 2004 and thereafter.
Note 15 - Pension Plans
PepsiCo sponsors noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering
substantially all full-time U.S. employees as well as contributory and
noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain international
employees. Benefits generally are based on years of service and compensation or
stated amounts for each year of service. PepsiCo funds the U.S. plans in amounts
not less than minimum statutory funding requirements nor more than the maximum
amount that can be deducted for U.S. income tax purposes. International plans
are funded in amounts sufficient to comply with local statutory requirements.
The plans' assets consist principally of equity securities, government and
corporate debt securities and other fixed-income obligations. The U.S. plans'
assets include 11.7 million and 12.2 million shares of PepsiCo capital stock in
1997 and 1996, with a post-spin adjusted market value of $436 million and $316
million, respectively. In the interest of maintaining an appropriate level of
diversification within the U.S. plans' asset portfolio, .5 million and 1.5
million shares of PepsiCo capital stock were sold during the 1997 and 1996 plan
years, respectively. Dividends on PepsiCo capital stock of $6 million and $5
million were received by the U.S. plans in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Note 16 - Contingencies
PepsiCo is subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits,
taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of
business. Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, in excess of
amounts already recognized arising from such claims or contingencies is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on PepsiCo's annual results of
operations or financial condition.
Note 17 - Business Segments
PepsiCo operates on a worldwide basis within two industry segments:
beverages and snack foods.
Beverages
The beverage segment (Beverages) markets and distributes its Pepsi-Cola, Diet
Pepsi, Mountain Dew and other brands worldwide, and 7UP, Diet 7UP, Mirinda,
Pepsi Max and other brands internationally. Beverages manufactures concentrates
of its brands for sale to franchised bottlers worldwide. Beverages operates
bottling plants and distribution facilities located in North America and in
various international markets for the production and distribution of
company-owned and licensed brands. Beverages also manufactures and distributes
ready-to-drink Lipton tea products in North America.
Principal international markets include Argentina, Brazil, China, India,
Mexico, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand and the U.K. Investments
in unconsolidated affiliates of $340 million in the U.S. and $605 million
outside the U.S. at year-end 1997 are primarily in franchised bottling and

Management's Responsibility for Financial Statements
To Our Shareholders:
Management is responsible for the reliability of the consolidated financial
statements and related notes, which have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts based upon our
estimates and assumptions, as required. The financial statements have been
audited and reported on by our independent auditors, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, who
were given free access to all financial records and related data, including
minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board.
We believe that management representations made to the independent auditors were
valid and appropriate.
PepsiCo maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting,
designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial
statements, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition.
The system is supported by formal policies and procedures, including an active
Code of Conduct program intended to ensure employees adhere to the highest
standards of personal and professional integrity. PepsiCo's internal audit
function monitors and reports on the adequacy of and compliance with the
internal control system, and appropriate actions are taken to address
significant control deficiencies and other opportunities for improving the
system as they are identified. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors,
which is composed solely of outside directors, provides oversight to our
financial reporting process and our controls to safeguard assets through
periodic meetings with our independent auditors, internal auditors and
management. Both our independent auditors and internal auditors have free access
to the Audit Committee.
Although no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors
and irregularities, we believe our controls as of December 27, 1997 provide
reasonable assurance that the financial statements are reliable and that our
assets are reasonably safeguarded.
F - 31
Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Shareholders
PepsiCo, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996 and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders' equity for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 27, 1997. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.'s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PepsiCo,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 27, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, PepsiCo,
Inc. in 1995 adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."

Selected Financial Data (Page 3 of 4)
(in millions except per share and employee amounts, unaudited)
PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PepsiCo disposed of its Restaurants segment in 1997 and accounted for it as
discontinued operations (see Note 4); all information has been reclassified
accordingly. Additionally, PepsiCo made numerous acquisitions in most years
presented and a few divestitures in certain years. Such transactions do not
materially affect the comparability of PepsiCo's operating results for the
periods presented. All share and per share amounts reflect a two-for-one stock
split in 1996 and per share amounts are computed using average shares
outstanding, assuming dilution.
(a) Includes unusual items of $290 ($239 after-tax or $0.15 per share)in 1997
and $576 ($527 after-tax or $0.33 per share) in 1996. See Note 2.
(b) Includes the initial, noncash charge of $66 ($64 after-tax or $0.04 per
share) upon adoption of SFAS 121 at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
(c) Includes the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 112 "Employers' Accounting
for Postemployment Benefits" of $77 ($51 after-tax or $0.03 per share) and
changing to a preferable method for calculating the market-related value of
plan assets used in determining the return-on- asset component of annual
pension expense and the cumulative net unrecognized gain or loss subject to
amortization of $32 ($20 after- tax or $0.01 per share). Prior years were
not restated for these changes in accounting.
(d) Includes a benefit of changing to the preferable method for calculating the
market value of plan assets in 1994, which reduced full year pension
expense by $29 ($18 after-tax or $0.01 per share).
(e) Fiscal year 1994 consists of 53 weeks. Normally, fiscal years consist of 52
weeks; however, because the fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in
December, a week is added every 5 or 6 years. The fifty- third week
increased 1994 earnings by approximately $31 ($28 after-tax or $0.02 per
share).
(f) Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
which is presented net of the noncash portion of unusual items of $233 in
1997, $366 in 1996 and $66 in 1995. EBITDA is used by certain investors as
a measure of a company's ability to service its debt. It should be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of
financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP).
(g) Defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by cash
dividends paid and adjusted for the following investing activities: capital
spending, sales of businesses, sales of property, plant and equipment and
other, net. Free cash flow is a measure we use internally to evaluate our
cash flow performance and should be considered in addition to, but not as a
substitute for, other measures of financial performance in accordance with
GAAP.

ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION
PepsiCo, Inc. (the "Company") established the PepsiCo Executive
Income Deferral Program in 1972 to permit eligible executives to defer certain
cash awards made under its executive compensation programs. Subsequently, the
PepsiCo Executive Income Deferral Program (the "Plan") was expanded to permit
eligible executives to defer base pay, certain other categories of executive
compensation and gains on Performance Share Stock Options.
Except as otherwise provided, this document sets forth the terms of
the Plan as in effect on July 1, 1997. As of that date, it specifies the group
of executives of the Company and certain affiliated employers eligible to make
deferrals, the procedures for electing to defer compensation and the Plan's
provisions for maintaining and paying out amounts that have been deferred.
Additional provisions applicable to certain executives are set forth in the
Appendix, which modifies and supplements the general provisions of the Plan.
The Plan is unfunded and unsecured. Amounts deferred by an executive
are an obligation of that executive's individual employer. With respect to his
employer, the executive has the rights of a general creditor.
ARTICLE II
DEFINITIONS
When used in this Plan, the following underlined terms shall have
the meanings set forth below unless a different meaning is plainly required by
the context:
The account maintained for a Participant on the books of his Employer to
determine, from time to time, the Participant's interest under this Plan. The
balance in such Account shall be determined by the Plan Administrator. Each
Participant's Account shall consist of at least one Deferral Subaccount for each
separate deferral under Section 3.2. In accordance with Section 4.3, some or all
of a separate deferral may be held in a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount. The Plan
Administrator may also establish such additional subaccounts as it deems
necessary for the proper administration of the Plan. Where appropriate, a
reference to a Participant's Account shall include a reference to each
applicable subaccount that has been established thereunder.
adjusted 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 any applicable payroll
period, an eligible Employee's adjusted base salary shall be determined after
reductions for applicable tax withholdings, Employee authorized deductions
(including deductions for SaveUp, Benefits Plus and charitable donations), tax
levies, garnishments and such other amounts as the Plan Administrator recognizes
as reducing the amount of base salary available for deferral.
: An eligible Employee's adjusted annual incentive award under the his
Employer's annual incentive plan or the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan,
as determined and adjusted by the Plan Administrator and to the extent paid in
U.S. dollars from an Employer's U.S. payroll. An eligible Employee's annual
incentive awards shall be adjusted to reduce them for applicable tax
withholdings, Employee authorized deductions (including deductions for SaveUp,
Benefits Plus and charitable donations), tax levies, garnishments and such other
amounts as the Plan Administrator recognizes as reducing the amount of such
awards available for deferral.
: The person or persons who a Participant properly designates, as determined by
the Plan Administrator, to receive the amounts in one or more of the
Participant's subaccounts 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 as the Plan Administrator shall
require from time to time. 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 his estate. 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 in that relationship
to the Participant at his death. An individual who is otherwise a Beneficiary
with respect to a Participant's Account ceases to be a Beneficiary when all
payments have been made from the Account.
: The Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
: PepsiCo, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, or its successor or
successors.
: A subaccount of a Participant's Account maintained to reflect his interest in
the Plan attributable to each deferral of Base Compensation, Bonus Compensation,
Performance Unit Payout and Stock Option Gains, respectively, and earnings or
losses credited to such subaccount in accordance with Section 4.1(b).
: A Participant who is entitled to receive benefits under the PepsiCo Long Term
Disability Plan shall be deemed to suffer from a disability. Participants who
are not eligible to participate in the PepsiCo Long Term Disability Plan shall
be deemed to suffer to from a disability if, in the judgment of the Plan
Administrator, they satisfy the standards for disability under the PepsiCo Long
Term Disability Plan.
: July 1, 1997. Effective Date
: The form prescribed by the Plan Administrator on which a Participant specifies
the amount of his Base Compensation, Bonus Compensation, Performance Unit Payout
or Stock Option Gains to be deferred pursuant to the provisions of Article III.
: Any person in a salaried classification of an Employer who (i) is receiving
remuneration for personal services rendered in the employment of the Employer,
(ii) is either a United States citizen or a resident alien lawfully admitted for
permanent residence in the United States, and (iii) is paid in U.S. dollars from
the Employer's U.S. payroll.
: The Company and each of the Company's subsidiaries and affiliates that is
currently designated as an Employer by the Plan Administrator.
: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
: For purposes of converting a Participant's deferrals to PepsiCo Capital Stock
as of any date, the Fair Market Value of PepsiCo Capital Stock is determined as
the average of the high and low price on such date for PepsiCo Capital Stock as
reported on the composite tape for securities listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., rounded to four decimal places. For purposes of determining the
value of a Plan distribution or for reallocating amounts between phantom
investment options under the Plan, the Fair Market Value of PepsiCo Captial
Stock is determined as the closing price on the applicable Valuation Date
(identified based on the Plan Administrator's current procedures) for PepsiCo
Capital Stock, whichever is applicable, as reported on the composite tape for
securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., rounded to four decimal
places.
: Any Employee eligible pursuant to Section 3.1 who has satisfied the
requirements for participation in this Plan and who has an Account. A
Participant includes any individual who deferred compensation prior to the
Effective Date and for whom any Employer maintains on its books an Account for
such deferred compensation as of the Effective Date. An active Participant is
one who is currently deferring under Section 3.2.
: The adjusted performance unit award payable to an Employee under the Company's
Long Term Incentive Plan during a Plan Year, to the extent paid in U.S. dollars
from an Employer's U.S. payroll. An eligible Employee's performance unit award
shall be adjusted to reduce it for applicable tax withholdings, Employee
authorized deductions, tax levies, garnishments and such other amounts as the
Plan Administrator recognizes as reducing the amount of such awards available
for deferral.
: The PepsiCo Executive Income Deferral Program, as it may be amended from
time to time.
: The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its
delegate or delegates.
: The 12-month period from January 1 to December 31.
: Termination of service with the Company and its affiliates after attaining
eligibility for retirement. A Participant attains eligibility for retirement
when he attains at least age 55 with 10 or more years of service, or at least
age 65 with 5 or more years of service (whichever occurs earliest) while in the
employment of the Company or its affiliates. A Participant's service is
determined under the terms of the PepsiCo Salaried Employees Retirement Plan.
: The subaccount provided for by Section 4.3 to contain the portion of each
separate deferral that is subject to forfeiture.
: The gains on an eligible Employee's Performance Share Stock Options that are
available for deferral under the Plan pursuant to Section 3.3(c). With respect
to any options that are made subject to a Stock Option Gain deferral election,
the gains on such options shall be determined through a sale of related shares
by the Plan Administrator net of: (i) the exercise price of the options, (ii)
any transaction costs incurred when such gains are captured through the sale of
related shares, and (iii) any related taxes that the Plan Administrator
determines will not otherwise be satisfied by the Participant. For purposes of
such sales, the Plan Administrator may aggregate shares related to the options
of different Participants, sell them over one or more days and divide the net
proceeds from such aggregate sales between the Participants in a reasonable
manner. The Plan Administrator shall have absolute discretion with respect to
the timing and aggregation of such sales.
: A Participant's cessation of employment with the Company, all Employers and
all other Company subsidiaries and affiliates (as defined for this purpose by
the Plan Administrator). For purposes of determining forfeitures under Section
4.3 and distributing a Participant's Account under Section 4.4, the following
shall apply:
(a) A Participant does not have a Termination of Employment
when the business unit or division of the Company that employs him is sold
if the Participant and substantially all employees of that entity continue
to be employed by the entity or its successor after the sale. A
Participant also does not have a Termination of Employment when the
subsidiary of the Company that employs him is sold if: (i) the Participant
continues to be employed by the entity or its successor after the sale,
and (ii) the Participant's interest in the Plan continues to be carried as
a liability by that entity or its successor after the sale through a
successor arrangement. In each case, the Participant's Termination of
Employment shall occur upon the Participant's post-sale termination of
employment from such entity or its successor (and their related
organizations, as determined by the Plan Administrator).
(b) With respect to any individual deferral, the term
"Termination of Employment" may encompass a Participant's death or death
may be considered a separate event, depending upon the convention the Plan
Administrator follows with respect to such deferral.
: Each date as of which Participant Accounts are valued in accordance with
procedures of the Plan Administrator that are currently in effect. As of the
Effective Date, the Valuation Dates are March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31. Values are determined as of the close of a Valuation Date or, if
such date is not a business day, as of the close of the immediately preceding
business day.
ARTICLE III
PARTICIPATION
. 3.1 Eligibility to Participate
(a) An Employee shall be eligible to defer compensation under
the Plan while employed by an Employer at salary grade level 14 or above.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, from time to time the Plan
Administrator may modify, limit or expand the class of Employees eligible
to defer hereunder, pursuant to criteria for eligibility that need not be
uniform among all or any group of Employees. During the period an
individual satisfies all of the eligibility requirements of this section,
he shall be referred to as an eligible Employee.
(b) Each eligible Employee becomes an active Participant on
the date an amount is first withheld from his compensation pursuant to an
Election Form submitted by the Employee to the Plan Administrator under
Section 3.3.
(c) An individual's eligibility to participate actively by
making deferrals under Section 3.2 shall cease upon the earlier of:
(1) The date he ceases to be an Employee who is employed
by an Employer at salary grade level 14 or above; or
(2) The date the Employee ceases to be eligible under
criteria described in the last sentence of subsection (a) above.
(d) An individual, who has been an active Participant under
the Plan, ceases to be a Participant on the date his Account is fully paid
out.
. 3.2 Deferral Election
(a) Each eligible Employee may make an election to defer under
the Plan any whole percentage (up to 100%) of his Base Compensation, Bonus
Compensation, Performance Unit Payout or Stock Option Gains in the manner
described in Section 3.3. Any amount of Base Compensation deferred by an
eligible Employee for a Plan Year will be deducted each pay period during
the Plan Year for which he has Base Compensation and is an eligible
Employee. The amount of Bonus Compensation or Performance Unit Payout
deferred by an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year will be deducted from his
payment under the applicable compensation program at the time it would
otherwise be made, provided he remains an eligible Employee at such time.
Any Stock Option Gains deferred by an eligible Employee shall be captured
as of the date or dates applicable for the category of underlying options
under procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator, provided that the Plan
Administrator determines the eligible Employee's rights in such options
may still be recognized at such time.
(b) To be effective, an Eligible Employee's Election Form must
set forth the percentage of Base Compensation, Bonus Compensation or
Performance Unit Payout to be deferred (or for a deferral of Stock Option
Gains, the specific options on which any gains are to be deferred), the
investment choice under Section 4.1 (in multiples of 5 percent), the
deferral period under Section 3.4, the eligible Employee's Beneficiary
designation, and any other information that may be requested by the Plan
Administrator from time to time. In addition, the Election Form must meet
the requirements of Section 3.3 below.
. 3.3 Time and Manner of Deferral Election
------------------------------------
(a) Deferrals of Base Compensation. Subject to the next two
sentences, an eligible Employee must make a deferral election for a Plan
Year with respect to Base Compensation at least two months prior to the
Plan Year in which the Base Compensation would otherwise be paid. An
individual who newly becomes an eligible Employee during a Plan Year (or
less than three months prior to a Plan Year) may make a deferral election
with respect to Base Compensation to be paid during the balance of the
current Plan Year within 30 days of the date the individual becomes an
eligible Employee. Such an individual may also make an election at this
time with respect to Base Compensation to be paid during the next Plan
Year.
(b) Deferrals of Bonuses and Performance Unit Payouts. Subject
to the next sentence, an eligible Employee must make a deferral election
for a Plan Year with respect to his Bonus Compensation or Performance Unit
Payout at least six months prior to the Plan Year in which the Bonus
Compensation or Performance Unit Payout would otherwise be paid. An
individual who newly becomes an eligible Employee may make a deferral
election with respect to his Bonus Compensation or Performance Unit Payout
to be paid during the succeeding Plan Year so long as the deferral
election is made within 30 days of the date the individual becomes an
eligible Employee and prior to the first day of such succeeding Plan Year.
(c) Deferrals of Stock Option Gains. From time to time, the
Plan Administrator shall notify eligible Employees with outstanding
Performance Share Options which options then qualify for deferral of their
related Stock Option Gains. An eligible Employee who has qualifying
options must make a deferral election with respect to his related Stock
Option Gains at least 6 months before such qualifying options' proposed
capture date (as defined below) or, if earlier, in the calendar year
preceding the year of the proposed capture date. The "proposed capture
date" for a set of options shall be the earliest date that the Plan
Administrator would capture a Participant's Stock Option Gains in
accordance with the deferral agreement prepared for such purpose by the
Plan Administrator.
(d) General Provisions. A separate deferral election under
(a), (b) or (c) above must be made by an eligible Employee for each
category of a Plan Year's compensation that is eligible for deferral. If
an eligible Employee fails to file a properly completed and executed
Election Form with the Plan Administrator by the prescribed time, he will
be deemed to have elected not to defer any Base Compensation, Bonus
Compensation, Performance Unit Payout or Stock Option Gains, as the case
may be, for the applicable Plan Year. An election is irrevocable once
received and determined by the Plan Administrator to be properly
completed. Increases or decreases in the amount or percentage a
Participant elects to defer shall not be permitted during a Plan Year.
Notwithstanding the preceding three sentences, to the extent necessary
because of extraordinary circumstances, the Plan Administrator may grant
an extension of any election period and may permit (to the extent
necessary to avoid undue hardship to an eligible Employee) the complete
revocation of an election with respect to future deferrals. Any such
extension or revocation shall be available only if the Plan Administrator
determines that it shall not trigger constructive receipt of income and is
desirable for plan administration, and only upon such conditions as may be
required by the Plan Administrator.
(e) Beneficiaries. A Participant designates on the Election
Form a Beneficiary to receive payment in the event of his death of amounts
credited to his Account. A Beneficiary is paid in accordance with the
terms of a Participant's Election Form, as interpreted by the Plan
Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Plan. At any time, a
Participant may change a Beneficiary designation for any or all
subaccounts in a writing that is signed by the Participant and filed with
the Plan Administrator prior to the Participant's death, and that meets
such other standards as the Plan Administrator shall require from time to
time.
3.4 Period of Deferral. An eligible Employee making a deferral
election shall specify a deferral period on his Election Form by designating a
specific payout date, one or more specific payout events or both a date and one
or more specific events from the choices that are made available to the eligible
Employee by the Plan Administrator. Subject to the next sentence, an eligible
Employee's elected period of deferral shall run until the earliest occurring
date or event specified on his Election Form. Notwithstanding an eligible
Employee's actual election, an eligible Employee shall be deemed to have elected
a period of deferral of not less than:
(a) For Base Compensation, at least 6 months after the Plan
Year during which the Base Compensation would have been paid absent the
deferral;
(b) For Bonus Compensation, at least 1 year after the date the
Bonus Compensation would have been paid absent the deferral;
(c) For Performance Unit Payouts, at least 1 year after the
date the Performance Unit Payout would have been paid absent the deferral;
and
(d) For Stock Option Gains, at least 1 year after the date the
Stock Option Gain is credited to a Deferral Subaccount for the benefit of
the Participant.
ARTICLE IV
INTERESTS OF PARTICIPANTS
. 4.1 Accounting for Participants' Interests
(a) Deferral Subaccounts. Each Participant shall have a
separate Deferral Subaccount credited with the amount of each separate
deferral of Base Compensation, Bonus Compensation, Performance Unit Payout
or Stock Option Gains made by the Participant under this Plan. A
Participant's deferral shall be credited to his Account as soon as
practicable following the date when the deferral of compensation actually
occurs, as determined by the Plan Administrator. A Participant's Account
is a bookkeeping device to track the value of his deferrals (and his
Employer's liability therefor). No assets shall be reserved or segregated
in connection with any Account, and no Account shall be insured or
otherwise secured.
(b) Account Earnings or Losses. As of each Valuation Date, a
Participant's Account shall be credited with earnings and gains (and shall
be debited for expenses and losses) determined as if the amounts credited
to his Account had actually been invested as directed by the Participant
in accordance with this section (as modified by Section 4.3). The Plan
provides only for "phantom investments," and therefore such earnings,
gains, expenses and losses are hypothetical and not actual. However, they
shall be applied to measure the value of a Participant's Account and the
amount of his Employer's liability to make deferred payments to or on
behalf of the Participant.
(c) Investment Options. Each of a Participant's
Subaccounts (other than those containing Stock Option Gains) shall be
invested on a phantom basis in any combination of phantom investment
options specified by the Participant (or following the Participant's
death, by his Beneficiary) from those offered by the Plan Administrator
from time to time. Subsection (e) below governs the phantom investment
options available for deferrals of Stock Option Gains. The Plan
Administrator may discontinue any phantom investment option with respect
to some or all Accounts, and it may provide for shifting a Participant's
phantom investment from the discontinued option to a specified replacement
option (unless the Participant selects another replacement option in
accordance with such requirements as the Plan Administrator may apply). As
of the Effective Date, the phantom investment options are:
(1) Interest Bearing Account. Participant Accounts
invested in this phantom option accrue a return based upon the prime
rate of interest announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. (or
another bank designated by the Plan Administrator from time to
time). Returns accrue during the period since the last Valuation
Date based on the prime rate in effect on the first business day
after such Valuation Date and are compounded annually. An amount
deferred or transferred into this option is credited with the
applicable rate of return beginning with the date as of which the
amount is invested in this option by the Plan Administrator.
(2) PepsiCo Capital Stock Account. Participant
Accounts invested in this phantom option are adjusted to reflect an
investment in PepsiCo Capital Stock. An amount deferred or
transferred into this option is converted to phantom shares of
PepsiCo Capital Stock of equivalent value by dividing such amount by
the Fair Market Value of a share of PepsiCo Capital Stock on the
date as of which the amount is invested in this option by the Plan
Administrator. Only whole shares are determined. Any remaining
amount (and all amounts that would be received by the Account as
dividends, if dividends were paid on phantom shares of PepsiCo
Capital Stock as they are on actual shares) are credited to a
dividend subaccount that is invested in the phantom option in
paragraph (1) above (the Interest Bearing Account).
(i) A Participant's interest in the PepsiCo
Capital Stock Account is valued as of a Valuation Date by
multiplying the number of phantom shares credited to his
Account on such date by the Fair Market Value of a share of
PepsiCo Capital Stock on such date, and then adding the value
of the Participant's dividend subaccount.
(ii) If shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock
change by reason of any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spinoff, combination
or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, such
equitable adjustment shall be made in the number of shares
credited to an Account or subaccount as the Plan Administrator
may determine to be necessary or appropriate.
In no event will shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock actually be
purchased or held under this Plan, and no Participant shall have any
rights as a shareholder of PepsiCo Capital Stock on account of an
interest in this phantom option.
(3) SaveUp Accounts. From time to time, the Plan
Administrator shall designate which of the investment options under
the Company's Long Term Savings Plan (SaveUp) shall be available as
phantom investment options under this Plan. As of the Effective
Date, such available phantom options are the Equity-Index Account,
Equity-Income Account, and the Security Plus Account. Participant
Accounts invested in these phantom options are adjusted to reflect
an investment in the corresponding investment options under SaveUp.
An amount deferred or transferred into one of these options is
converted to phantom units in the applicable SaveUp fund of
equivalent value by dividing such amount by the value of a unit in
such fund on the date as of which the amount is invested in this
option by the Plan Administrator. Thereafter, a Participant's
interest in each such phantom option is valued as of a Valuation
Date by multiplying the number of phantom units credited to his
Account on such date by the value of a unit in the applicable SaveUp
fund.
(d) Method of Allocation. With respect to any deferral
election by a Participant, the Participant must use his Election Form to
allocate the deferral in 5 percent increments among the phantom investment
options then offered by the Plan Administrator. Thereafter, a Participant
may reallocate previously deferred amounts in a subaccount by properly
completing and submitting a fund transfer form provided by the Plan
Administrator and specifying, in 5 percent increments, the reallocation of
his Subaccount among the phantom investment options then offered by the
Plan Administrator. Any such transfer form shall be effective as of the
Valuation Date that follows its receipt by at least the number of days
that the Plan Administrator specifies for this purpose from time to time.
If more than one transfer form is received on a timely basis for a
subaccount, the transfer form that the Plan Administrator determines to be
the most recent shall be followed.
(e) Investment Choices for Stock Option Gains. Deferrals of
Stock Option gains initially may be invested only in the PepsiCo Capital
Stock Account. In the case of a Participant who has attained his
Retirement, the Plan Administrator may make available some or all of the
other phantom investment options described in subsection (c) above. In
this case, any election to reallocate the balance in the Participant's
applicable Deferral Subaccount shall be governed by the foregoing
provisions of this section.
. Except as provided in Section 4.3, a Participant's interest in the value of
his Account shall at all times be 100 percent percent vested, which means that
it will not forfeit as a result of his Termination of Employment.
4.3 Risk of Forfeiture Subaccounts. A Participant may elect to defer
Base Compensation, Bonus Compensation or Performance Unit Payouts to a Risk of
Forfeiture Subaccount only if: (i) he had, as of June 1, 1994, a deferred
compensation subaccount maintained under a forfeiture agreement (as defined
below), and (ii) he is not yet eligible for Retirement when the first amount
would be deferred pursuant to his current risk-of-forfeiture election. A
"forfeiture agreement" is an agreement with the Company, any Employer, or one of
their predecessors providing that the subaccount would be forfeited if the
employee terminated employment voluntarily or on account of misconduct prior to
Retirement.. A Participant who meets these requirements may elect under Article
III to defer some or all of his eligible compensation to a Risk of Forfeiture
Subaccount subject to the following terms.
(a) A Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount will be terminated and
forfeited in the event that the Participant has a Termination of
Employment that is voluntary or because of his misconduct prior to the
earliest of:
(1) The end of the deferral period designated in his
Election Form for such deferral;
(2) The date the Participant becomes eligible for
Retirement (as specified above); or
(3) The date indicated on his Election Form as the end
of the risk of forfeiture condition (but not before completing the
minimum risk of forfeiture period required by the Plan Administrator
from time to time).
(b) A Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount shall become fully vested
(and shall cease to be a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount) when:
(1) The Participant reaches any of the dates in
subsection (a) above while still employed by the Company or one of
its affiliates, or
(2) On the date the Participant terminates involuntarily
from his Employer (including death and termination for Disability),
provided that such termination is not for his misconduct.
(c) No amounts credited to a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount may
be transferred to a subaccount of the Participant that is not a Risk of
Forfeiture Subaccount. No amounts credited to a subaccount of the
Participant that is not a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount may be transferred
to a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount.
(d) A Participant may initially direct and then reallocate his
Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount to any of the phantom investment options
under the Plan that are currently available for such direction or
reallocation, whichever applies. During the period before a Risk of
Forfeiture Subaccount ceases to be a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount, the
return under any such phantom investment option shall be supplemented as
follows.
(1) In the case of the PepsiCo Capital Stock Account,
the Participant's dividend subaccount thereunder shall be credited
with an additional year-end dividend amount equal to 2 percent of
the average closing price of PepsiCo Capital Stock for the 30
business days preceding the end of the Company's fiscal year
multiplied by the number of phantom shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock
credited to the Participant's Account as of the end of the year. If
the Participant's subaccount was not a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount
for the entire year (or if the Participant reallocated amounts to
the PepsiCo Capital Stock Account after the beginning of the year),
this 2 percent additional dividend will be prorated down
appropriately, as determined by the Plan Administrator. In addition,
the Participant's dividend subaccount shall earn interest at a rate
that is 2 percent above the rate ordinarily applicable under the
Interest Bearing Account for the period that it is contained within
a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount.
(2) In the case of any other available phantom
investment option, the return on each such option shall be
supplemented with an additional 2% annual return for the period that
it is held within a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount (but prorated for
periods of such investment of less than a year).
. A Participant's Account shall be distributed in cash as provided in this
Section 4.4.
(a) Scheduled Payout Date. With respect to a specific
deferral, a Participant's "Scheduled Payout Date" shall be the earlier
of:
(1) The date selected by the Participant for such
deferral in accordance with Section 3.4, or
(2) The first day of the calendar quarter that follows
the earliest to occur event selected by the Participant for such
deferral in accordance with Section 3.4.
Notwithstanding the prior sentence, in the case of a deferral of Stock
Option Gains, a Participant's Scheduled Payout Date for such deferral
shall be first day of the calendar quater following his Termination of
Employment other than for death, Disability or Retirement (or 12 months
after the date of the deferral, if that would be later than such first
day). Unless an election has been made in accordance with subsection (b)
below, the Participant's subaccount containing the deferral shall be
distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum as soon as practicable
following the Scheduled Payout Date.
(b) Payment Election. A Participant may delay receipt of a
subaccount beyond its Scheduled Payout Date, or elect to receive
installments rather than a lump sum, by making a payment election under
this subsection. A payment election must be made by the calendar year
before the year containing the Scheduled Payout Date (or if earlier, at
least 6 months before the Scheduled Payout Date). Any payment election to
receive a lump sum at a later time must specify a revised payout date that
is at least 12 months after the Scheduled Payout Date. Any payment
election to receive installment payments in lieu of a lump sum shall
specify the amount (or method for determining) each installment and a set
of revised payout dates, the last of which must be at least 12 months
after the Scheduled Payout Date. With respect to any subaccount, only one
election may be made under this subsection. Beneficiaries are not
permitted to make elections under this subsection. In addition, an
election under this subsection may not delay the distribution of a
deferral of Stock Option Gains made by a Participant whose employment has
terminated other than for death, Disability or Retirement. Actual payments
shall be made as soon as practicable following a revised payout date.
(c) Valuation. In determining the amount of any individual
distribution pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above, the Participant's
subaccount shall continue to be credited with earnings and gains (and
debited for expenses and losses) under Sections 4.1 and 4.3 until the
Valuation Date preceding the Scheduled Payout Date or revised payout date
for such distribution (whichever is applicable). In determining the value
of a Participant's remaining subaccount following an installment
distribution, such installment distribution shall reduce the value of the
Participant's subaccount as of the close of the Valuation Date preceding
the revised payout date for such installment.
(d) Limitations. The following limitations apply to
distributions from the Plan.
(1) Installments may only be made quarterly,
semi-annually or annually, for a period of no more than 20 years,
and not later than the Participant's 80th birthday (or what would
have been his 80th birthday, if the Participant dies earlier).
(2) If a Participant has elected a Scheduled Payout Date
that would be after his 80th birthday, the Participant shall be
deemed to have elected his 80th birthday as his Scheduled Payout
Date.
(3) If a Participant has elected to defer income, which
would qualify as performance-based compensation under Code section
162(m), into a Risk of Forfeiture Subaccount, then such subaccount
may not be paid out at any time while the Participant is a covered
employee under Code section 162(m)(3), to the extent the Plan
Administrator determines it would result in compensation being paid
to the Participant in such year that would not be deductible under
Code section 162(m). The payout of any such amount shall be deferred
until a year when the Participant is no longer a section 162(m)
covered employee. The Plan Administrator may waive the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph to the extent necessary to avoid an
undue hardship to the Participant. This paragraph shall apply
notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary.
(e) Upon a Participant's death, his Beneficiary shall be paid
each subaccount still standing to the Participant's credit under the Plan
in accordance with the terms of the Participant's payout election for such
subaccount under Section 3.4, or his payment election under subsection (b)
above, whichever is applicable.
Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.5, no payments shall be made
under this Plan prior to the date (or dates) applicable under Section 4.4.
(a) A Participant who is suffering severe financial hardship
resulting from extraordinary and unforeseeable events beyond the control
of the Participant (and who does not have other funds reasonably available
that could satisfy the severe financial hardship) may file a written
request with the Plan Administrator for accelerated payment of all or a
portion of the amount credited to his Account. A committee composed of
representatives from the Company's Compensation Department, Tax Department
and Law Department, or such other parties as the Plan Administrator may
specify from time to time, shall have sole discretion to determine whether
a Participant satisfies the requirements for a hardship request and the
amount that may be distributed (which shall not exceed the amount
reasonably necessary to alleviate the Participant's hardship).
(b) After a Participant has filed a written request pursuant
to this section, along with all supporting material, the committee shall
grant or deny the request within 60 days (or such other number of days as
is customarily applied from time to time) unless special circumstances
warrant additional time.
(c) The Plan Administrator may adjust the standards for
hardship withdrawals from time to time to the extent it determines such
adjustment to be necessary to avoid triggering constructive receipt of
income under the Plan.
(d) A Beneficiary may also request a hardship distribution
upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and subject to the
foregoing limitations.
(e) When some or all of a Participant's subaccount is
distributed pursuant to this section, the distribution and the subaccount
shall be valued as provided by the Plan Administrator, using rules
patterned after those in Section 4.4(c) above, on the Valuation Date
coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which approval for
accelerated payment is granted.
ARTICLE V
PLAN ADMINISTRATOR
. The Plan Administrator is the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors (the "Committee") or its delegate or delegates, who shall act within
the scope of their delegation pursuant to such operating guidelines as the
Committee shall establish from time to time. The Plan Administrator is
responsible for the administration of the Plan.
. Action by the Committee may be taken in accordance with procedures that the
Committee adopts from time to time or that the Company's Law Department
determines are legally permissible.
. The Plan Administrator shall administer and manage the Plan and shall have all
powers necessary to accomplish that purpose, including (but not limited to) the
following:
(a) To exercise its discretionary authority to construe,
interpret, and administer this Plan;
(b) To exercise its discretionary authority to make all
decisions regarding eligibility, participation and deferrals, to make
allocations and determinations required by this Plan, and to maintain
records regarding Participants' Accounts;
(c) To compute and certify to the Employer the amount and
kinds of payments to Participants or their Beneficiaries, and to determine
the time and manner in which such payments are to be paid;
(d) To authorize all disbursements by the Employer pursuant to
this Plan;
(e) To maintain (or cause to be maintained) all the necessary
records for administration of this Plan;
(f) To make and publish such rules for the regulation of this
Plan as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof;
(g) To delegate to other individuals or entities from time to
time the performance of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder;
(h) To establish or to change the phantom investment options
or arrangements under Article IV; and
(i) To hire agents, accountants, actuaries, consultants and
legal counsel to assist in operating and administering the Plan.
The Plan Administrator has the exclusive and discretionary authority to construe
and to interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility for benefits,
to determine the amount and manner of payment of such benefits and to make any
determinations that are contemplated by (or permissible under) the terms of this
Plan, and its decisions on such matters will be final and conclusive on all
parties. Any such decision or determination shall be made in the absolute and
unrestricted discretion of the Plan Administrator, even if (A) such discretion
is not expressly granted by the Plan provisions in question, or (B) a
determination is not expressly called for by the Plan provisions in question,
and even though other Plan provisions expressly grant discretion or call for a
determination. In the event of a review by a court, arbitrator or any other
tribunal, any exercise of the Plan Administrator's discretionary authority shall
not be disturbed unless it is clearly shown to be arbitrary and capricious.
. The Plan Administrator will serve without bond and without compensation for
services hereunder. All expenses of the Plan and the Plan Administrator will be
paid by the Employer. No member of the Committee, and no individual acting as
the delegate of the Committee, shall be liable for any act or omission of any
other member or individual, nor for any act or omission on his own part,
excepting his own willful misconduct. The Employer will indemnify and hold
harmless each member of the Committee and any individual or individuals acting
as the delegate of the Committee against any and all expenses and liabilities,
including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of his membership on
the Committee (or his serving as the delegate of the Committee), excepting only
expenses and liabilities arising out of his own willful misconduct.
. If the whole or any part of any Participant's Account becomes liable for the
payment of any estate, inheritance, income, or other tax which the Employer may
be required to pay or withhold, the Employer will have the full power and
authority to withhold and pay such tax out of any moneys or other property in
its hand for the account of the Participant. The Employer will provide the
Participant notice of such withholding. Prior to making any payment, the
Employer may require such releases or other documents from any lawful taxing
authority as it shall deem necessary.
ARTICLE VI
CLAIMS PROCEDURE
. If a Participant or Beneficiary (hereafter, "Claimant") does not receive
timely payment of any benefits which he believes are due and payable under the
Plan, he may make a claim for benefits to the Plan Administrator. The claim for
benefits must be in writing and addressed to the Plan Administrator or to the
Company. If the claim for benefits is denied, the Plan Administrator will notify
the Claimant in writing within 90 days after the Plan Administrator initially
received the benefit claim. However, if special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator will furnish
notice of the extension to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial
90-day period and such extension may not exceed one additional, consecutive
90-day period. Any notice of a denial of benefits should advise the Claimant of
the basis for the denial, any additional material or information necessary for
the Claimant to perfect his claim, and the steps which the Claimant must take to
have his claim for benefits reviewed.
. Each Claimant whose claim for benefits has been denied may file a written
request for a review of his claim by the Plan Administrator. The request for
review must be filed by the Claimant within 60 days after he received the
written notice denying his claim. The decision of the Plan Administrator will be
made within 60 days after receipt of a request for review and will be
communicated in writing to the Claimant. Such written notice shall set forth the
basis for the Plan Administrator's decision. If there are special circumstances
which require an extension of time for completing the review, the Plan
Administrator's decision may be rendered not later than 120 days after receipt
of a request for review.
ARTICLE VII
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has the
right in its sole discretion to amend this Plan in whole or in part at any time
and in any manner; provided, however, that no such amendment shall reduce the
amount credited to the Account of any Participant as of the date such amendment
is adopted. Any amendment shall be in writing and adopted by the Committee or an
officer of the Company who is authorized by the Committee for this purpose. All
Participants shall be bound by such amendment.
. The Company expects to continue this Plan, but does not obligate itself to do
so. The Company, acting by the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors,
reserves the right to discontinue and terminate the Plan at any time, in whole
or in part, for any reason (including a change, or an impending change, in the
tax laws of the United States or any State). Termination of the Plan will be
binding on all Participants (and a partial termination shall be binding upon all
affected Participants), but in no event may such termination reduce the amounts
credited at that time to any Participant's Account. If this Plan is terminated
(in whole or in part), amounts theretofore credited to affected Participants'
Accounts may either be paid in a lump sum immediately, or distributed in some
other manner consistent with this Plan, as determined by the Plan Administrator
in its sole discretion.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
. Participation in this Plan does not give any Participant the right to be
retained in the Employer's or Company's employ (or any right or interest in this
Plan or any assets of the Company or Employer other than as herein provided).
The Company and Employer reserve the right to terminate the employment of any
Participant without any liability for any claim against the Company or Employer
under this Plan, except for a claim for payment of deferrals as provided herein.
. The benefits provided by this Plan are unfunded. All amounts payable under
this Plan to Participants are paid from the general assets of the Participant's
individual Employer. Nothing contained in this Plan requires the Company or
Employer to set aside or hold in trust any amounts or assets for the purpose of
paying benefits to Participants. This Plan creates only a contractual obligation
on the part of a Participant's individual Employer, and the Participant has the
status of a general unsecured creditor of this Employer with respect to amounts
of compensation deferred hereunder. No other Employer guarantees or shares such
obligation, and no other Employer shall have any liability to the Participant or
his Beneficiary. In the event, a Participant transfers from the employment of
one Employer to another, the former Employer shall transfer the liability for
deferrals made while the Participant was employed by that Employer to the new
Employer (and the books of both Employers shall be adjusted appropriately).
. This Plan shall not affect the right of any eligible Employee or Participant
to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the
provisions of any other employee benefit plans which are now or hereafter
maintained by any Employer, unless the terms of such other employee benefit plan
or plans specifically provide otherwise or it would cause such other plan to
violate a requirement for tax favored treatment.
. Any payment to a Participant in accordance with the provisions of this Plan
shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the
Plan Administrator, the Employer and the Company, and the Plan Administrator may
require such Participant, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a
receipt and release to such effect.
. This Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects in
accordance with applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted by
federal law, in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina. If any
provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue
to be fully effective.
. The Plan Administrator may select any corporation related to the Company by
stock ownership as an Employer and permit or cause such corporation to adopt the
Plan. The selection by the Plan Administrator shall govern the effective date of
the adoption of the Plan by such related Employer.
. In this Plan, whenever the context so indicates, the singular or plural number
and the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall be deemed to include the
other. Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of
reference only and are not considered in the construction of the provisions
hereof.
. This Plan inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties hereto and
their successors, heirs and assigns; provided, however, that the amounts
credited to the Account of a Participant are not (except as provided in Section
5.5) subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any
kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate,
sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any
right to any benefits payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any
assignment or alienation in connection with a separation, divorce, child support
or similar arrangement, will be null and void and not binding on the Plan or the
Company or Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the
right to make payments in accordance with a divorce decree, judgment or other
court order as and when cash payments are made in accordance with the terms of
this Plan due to the Account of a Participant and credited against such Account.
. Whenever, in the Plan Administrator's opinion, a Participant or Beneficiary
entitled to receive any payment hereunder is under a legal disability or is
incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs, the
Plan Administrator may direct the Employer to make payments to such person or to
the legal representative of such person for his benefit, or to apply the payment
for the benefit of such person in such manner as the Plan Administrator
considers advisable. Any payment in accordance with the provisions of this
section shall be a complete discharge of any liability for the making of such
payment to the Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan.
. This Plan document encompasses three separate plans of deferred compensation
for all legal purposes, including ERISA and federal and state tax law, as set
forth in subsections (a), (b) and (c) below.
(a) The portion of the Plan that provides for deferrals of
Base Compensation and Bonus Compensation (which shall be known as the
"PepsiCo Executive Income Deferral Plan").
(b) The portion of the Plan that provides for deferrals of
Performance Unit Payouts (which shall be known as the "PepsiCo Performance
Unit Deferral Plan").
(c) The portion of the Plan that provides for deferrals of
Stock Option Gains (which shall be known as the "PepsiCo Option Gains
Deferral Plan").
Together, these three separate plans of deferred compensation are referred to as
the PepsiCo Executive Income Deferral Program.
This _____ day of ____________________, 1997, the above restated Plan is
hereby adopted and approved by the Company's duly authorized officer to be
effective as stated herein.

PEPSICO EXECUTIVE INCOME DEFERRAL PROGRAM
APPENDIX
The following Appendix articles modify or supplement the general
terms of the Plan as it applies to certain executives.
Except as specifically modified in the Appendix, the foregoing
provisions of the Plan shall fully apply. In the event of a conflict between
this Appendix and the foregoing provisions of the Plan, the Appendix shall
govern with respect to the conflict.
ARTICLE A
SPINOFF OF TRICON
This Article sets forth provisions that apply in connection with the
Company's spinoff of Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc.
A.1 Definitions: When used in this Article, the following underlined
terms shall have the meanings set forth below. Except as otherwise provided in
this Article, all terms that are defined in Article II of the Plan shall have
the meaning assigned to them by Article II.
(a) Distribution Date: The "Distribution Date" as that term is
defined in the 1997 Separation Agreement between PepsiCo, Inc.
and Tricon.
(b) PepsiCo Account Holder: A Participant who has an interest
in the PepsiCo Capital Stock Account on the Reference Date.
(c) Reference Date: The date specified by the Plan
Administrator for purposes of determining who shall be credited with an
interest in the Tricon Common Stock Account.
(d) Transferred Individual: A "Transferred Individual" as
that term is defined in the 1997 Employee Programs Agreement between
PepsiCo, Inc. and Tricon.
(e) Transition Individuals: A "Transition Individual" as
that term is defined in the 1997 Employee Programs Agreement between
PepsiCo, Inc. and Tricon.
(f) Tricon: Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc., a North Carolina
Corporation.
(g) Tricon Account Holder: A PepsiCo Account Holder whose
interest in the PepsiCo Capital Stock Account on the Reference Date
includes at least 10 phantom shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock.
A.2 Transfer of Benefits and Liabilities. Effective as of the end of
the day on the Distribution Date, all interests in the Plan of (and Plan
liabilities with respect to) nonterminated Transferred Individuals shall be
transferred to the Tricon Executive Income Deferral Program. This transfer shall
constitute a complete payout of these individuals' Accounts for purposes of
determining who is a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan. For this
purpose, a Transferred Individual shall be considered "nonterminated" if he is
actively employed by (or on a leave of absence from and expected to return to)
Tricon and any of its affiliates, as of the end of the day on the Distribution
Date.
A.3 Cessation of Employer Status. Effective as of the end of the day
on the Distribution Date, any Employer who is a member of the Tricon corporate
group (Tricon and its affiliates, as determined by the Plan Administrator) shall
no longer qualify as Employers hereunder. Any individual whose Account is
transferred in accordance with Section A.2 shall not thereafter be able to defer
any compensation (including Stock Option Gains) under this Plan, unless he
returns to employment with an Employer following the Distribution Date.
A.4 Employment Transfers by Transition Individuals. If a Participant
is transferred to Tricon under circumstances that cause him to be a Transition
Individual (a "Transition Transfer"), such transfer to Tricon shall not be
considered a Termination of Employment or other event that could trigger
distribution of the Participant's interest in the Plan. In this case, the
Participant's interest in the Plan (and all Plan liabilities with respect to the
Participant) shall be transferred to the Tricon Executive Income Deferral
Program. This transfer shall constitute a complete payout of the Participant's
Account for purposes of determining who is a Participant or Beneficiary under
the Plan.
A.5 Special Tricon Stock Investment Option. As of the Distribution
Date, the Plan Administrator shall establish a temporary phantom investment
option under the Plan, the Tricon Common Stock Account, and each Tricon Account
Holder shall be credited with an interest in such account.
(a) Establishing the Account Holder's Interest. The amount of
a Tricon Account Holder's interest is determined by dividing by 10 the
number of phantom shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock standing to his credit
in the PepsiCo Capital Stock Account on the Reference Date. The portion of
the resulting quotient that is an integer shall be the number of phantom
shares of Tricon Common Stock that is credited to the Participant's Tricon
Common Stock Account as of the Distribution Date. A Tricon Stock Holder's
interest in the Tricon Common Stock Account shall also include a dividend
subaccount. The initial balance in the divident subaccount shall be zero,
but it shall thereafter be credited with all amounts that would be
received for the Participant by the Tricon Common Stock Account as
dividends, if dividends were paid on phantom shares of Tricon Common Stock
as they are on actual shares. All amounts credited to this dividend
subaccount shall be invested in the phantom option described in Section
4.1(c)(1) (the Interest Bearing Account).
(b) Valuation and Adjustment: A Participant's interest in the
Tricon Common Stock Account is valued as of a Valuation Date by
multiplying the number of phantom shares credited to his Account on such
date by the fair market value of a share of Tricon Common Stock on such
date, and then adding the value of the Participant's dividend subaccount.
(1) As of any date, the fair market value of Tricon
Common Stock is determined for purposes of this Article as the mean
of the high and low price on such date for Tricon Common Stock as
reported on the composite tape for securities listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, Inc., rounded to four decimal places.
(2) If shares of Tricon Common Stock change by
reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, complete
or partial liquidation or other similar corporate change, such
equitable adjustment shall be made in the number of shares credited
to an Account or subaccount as the Plan Administrator may determine
to be necessary or appropriate.
In no event will shares of Tricon Common Stock actually be purchased or
held under this Plan, and no Participant shall have any rights as a
shareholder of Tricon Common Stock on account of an interest in the Tricon
Common Stock Account.
(c) Investment Reallocations. In accordance with Section
4.1(e), a Tricon Account Holder may reallocate amounts from his
Subaccounts in the Tricon Common Stock Account to other phantom investment
options under the Plan that are available for this purpose. No Participant
may reallocate amounts into the Tricon Common Stock Account.
(c) Termination of the Tricon Common Stock Account. Effective
as of the end of the day on December 31, 1998 (or such later date as the
Plan Administrator shall specify), the Tricon Common Stock Account shall
cease to be available under the Plan. Any amount under the Plan still
standing to the credit of a Participant on such date shall automatically
be reallocated to the phantom investment option described in Section
4.1(c)(1) (the Interest Bearing Account) unless the Participant selects a
different replacement option in accordance with such requirements as the
Plan Administrator may apply.
A.6 PepsiCo Account Holders with Less Than 10 Shares: The interest
in the PepsiCo Capital Stock Account of any PepsiCo Account Holder who does not
qualify to be a Tricon Account Holder shall be adjusted as of the Distribution
Date. Pursuant to this adjustment, the value of his dividend subaccount under
the PepsiCo Capital Stock Account shall be increased by the product of (a) and
(b) below:
(a) The number of phantom shares of PepsiCo stock credited to
the Participant's Account under the PepsiCo Capital Stock Account divided
by 10.
(b) The fair market value of a share of Tricon Common Stock on
the Distribution Date.

ARTICLE I Foreword
The PepsiCo Pension Equalization Plan ("PEP" or "Plan") has been
established by PepsiCo for the benefit of salaried employees of the PepsiCo
Organization who participate in the PepsiCo Salaried Employees 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 document amends and restates in its entirety the Plan as
it was in effect prior to January 1, 1989, and conforms the terms of the Plan to
the practices of the Company on and after that date, in accordance with
decisions by the Company's board of directors in November, 1989. Except as
otherwise provided herein, this amended and restated Plan is effective as of
January 1, 1989 and applies to employees who receive Credited Service on or
after that date. The prior provisions of the Plan shall govern the rights and
benefits of other employees and shall govern for periods before the effective
date of any provision with a different effective date.

Where the following words and phrases, in boldface and underlined, appear in
this Plan 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, or as an
annuity with inflation protection, the factors applicable for such
purposes under the Salaried Plan shall apply.
(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, except that when the term "PBGC Rate" is used in the Salaried
Plan in this context it shall mean "PBGC Rate" as defined in this
Plan.
(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

base (as determined under section 230 of the Social Security Act) in

Plan). : A Participant shall be eligible for a Disability Pension if he meets
the requirements for a Disability Pension under the Salaried Plan. : Any
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension payable under this section shall commence as of
the same time as the corresponding pre-retirement spouse's pension under the

of the Eligible Spouse.
(a) Active, Disabled and Retired Employees: A Pre-Retirement
Spouse's Pension shall be payable under this subsection to a Participant's
Eligible Spouse (if any) who is entitled under the Salaried Plan to the

provisions of this Article. At any time prior to April 14, 1991, a Participant

ARTICLE V Amount of Retirement Pension
When a Pension becomes payable to or on behalf of a Participant
under this Plan, the amount of such 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 PEP Pension
(a) Same Form as Salaried Plan: If a Participant's Pension
will be paid in the same form and will commence as of the same time as his
pension under the Salaried Plan, then his Pension hereunder shall be the
difference between:
(1) His Total Pension expressed in such form and payable
as of such time, minus
(2) His Salaried Plan Pension expressed in such form and
payable as of such time.
(b) Different Form than Salaried Plan: If a Participant's
Pension will be paid in a different form (whether in whole or in part) or
will commence as of a different time than his pension under the Salaried
Plan, his Pension shall be the product of:
(1) The amount of the Participant's Total Pension
expressed in the form and payable as of such time as applies to his
Pension under this Plan, multiplied by
(2) A fraction, the numerator of which is the value of
his Total Pension reduced by the value of his Salaried Plan Pension,
and the denominator of which is the value of his Total Pension (with
value determined on a reasonable and consistent basis, in the
discretion of the Plan Administrator, with respect to similarly
situated employees).
(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 5.5(d) of the
Salaried Plan; or
(ii) The amount (if any) of the Participant's PEP
Guarantee determined under Section 5.2.
In making this comparison, the benefits in subparagraphs (i) and
(ii) above shall be calculated with reference to the specific form
and time of payment that is applicable. If the applicable form of
payment is a lump sum, the Actuarial Equivalent factors in Section
2.1(b)(2) shall apply for purposes of subparagraph (i) in lieu of
those in the Salaried Plan.
(2) A Participant's "Salaried Plan Pension" means the
amount of the Participant's pension determined under the terms of
the Salaried Plan.
: 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,
within the meaning of 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 PepsiCo 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 Severance from
Service Date, 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
Severance from Service Date 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, 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.
: The monthly amount of the Pre-Retirement Spouse's 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 Pension shall be the difference between:
(1) The Eligible Spouse's Total Pre-Retirement
Spouse's Pension, minus
(2) The Eligible Spouse's Salaried Plan
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension.
(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 with reference to the specific time
of payment applicable to the Eligible Spouse.
(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 Severance from Service Date);
(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.
If payment of a Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension under this paragraph
commences prior to the date which would have been the Participant's
Normal Retirement Date, appropriate reductions for early
commencement shall be applied to the Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity upon which the Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension
is based.
(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 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 Security Amount and
Covered Compensation shall be determined as of his date of death. A
Pre-Retirement Spouse's Pension under this paragraph is not reduced
for early commencement.
: Pensions determined under the foregoing sections of this Article are subject
to adjustment as provided in this section. For purposes of this section,
"specified plan" shall mean the Salaried Plan or a nonqualified pension plan
similar to this Plan. A nonqualified pension plan is similar to this Plan if it
is sponsored by a member of the PepsiCo Organization and if its benefits are not
based on participant pay deferrals.
(a) Adjustments for Rehired Participants: This subsection
shall apply to a current or former Participant who is reemployed after his
Annuity Starting Date and whose benefit under the Salaried Plan is
recalculated based on an additional period of Credited Service. In the
event of any such recalculation, the Participant's PEP Pension shall also
be recalculated hereunder. For this purpose, the PEP Guarantee under
Section 5.2 is adjusted for in-service distributions and prior
distributions in the same manner as benefits are adjusted under the
Salaried Plan, but by taking into account benefits under this Plan and any
specified plans.
(b) Adjustment for Increased Pension Under Other Plans: If
the benefit paid under a specified plan on behalf of a Participant is
increased after PEP benefits on his behalf have been determined (whether
the increase is by order of a court, by agreement of the plan
administrator of the specified plan, or otherwise), the PEP benefit for
the Participant shall be recalculated. If the recalculation identifies an
overpayment hereunder, the Plan Administrator shall take such steps as it
deems advisable to recover the overpayment. It is specifically intended
that there shall be no duplication of payments under this Plan and any
specified plans.
: Effective for periods of employment on or after June 30, 1997, an executive
classified as level 22 or above whose employment by an Employer is for a limited
duration assignment shall not become entitled to a benefit or to any increase in
benefits in connection with such employment.

ARTICLE VI Distribution Options
The terms of this Article govern the distribution of benefits to a
Participant who becomes entitled to payment of a Pension under the Plan. : This
section shall govern the form and timing of distributions of PEP Pensions that
begin on or after March 1, 1992. Plan distributions that begin before that date
shall be governed by the prior terms of the Plan. The provisions of this Section
6.1 are in all cases subject to the cashout rules set forth in Section 4.9.
(a) No Advance Election: This subsection shall apply to a
Participant: (i) who does not have an Advance Election in effect as of the
close of business on the day before his Retirement Date, or (ii) who
terminates employment prior to Retirement. Subject to the next sentence, a
Participant described in this subsection shall be paid his PEP Pension in
the same form and at the same time as he is paid his Pension under the
Salaried Plan. If a Participant's Salaried Plan Annuity Starting Date
occurs while he is still an employee of the PepsiCo Organization (because
of the time of payment provisions in Code section 401(a)(9)), payment
under the Plan shall not begin until the first of the month next following
the Participant's Severance from Service Date. In this instance, the form
of payment under this Plan shall remain that applicable under the Salaried
Plan.
(b) Advance Election in Effect: This subsection shall apply
to a Participant: (i) who has an Advance Election in effect as of the
close of business on the day before his Retirement Date, and (ii) whose
Retirement Date is after 1993. To be in effect, an Advance Election must
meet the advance receipt and other requirements of Section 6.3(b).
(1) Lump Sum Election: If a Participant covered by this
subsection has an Advance Election to receive a Single Lump Sum in
effect as of the close of business on the day before his Retirement
Date, the Participant's Retirement Pension under the Plan shall be
paid as a Single Lump Sum as of the first of the month coincident
with or next following his Retirement Date.
(2) Annuity Election: If a Participant covered by this
subsection has an Advance Election to receive an Annuity in effect
as of the close of business on the day before his Retirement Date,
the Participant's Retirement Pension under the Plan shall be paid in
an Annuity beginning on the first of the month coincident with or
next following his Retirement Date. The following provisions of this
paragraph govern the form of Annuity payable in the case of a
Participant described in this paragraph.
(i) Salaried Plan Election: A Participant who has
a qualifying Salaried Plan election shall receive his
distribution in the same form of Annuity the Participant
selected in such qualifying Salaried Plan election. For this
purpose, a "qualifying Salaried Plan election" is a written
election of a form of payment by the Participant that: (A)
is currently in effect under the Salaried Plan as of the
close of business on the day before the Participant's
Retirement Date, and (B) specifies an Annuity as the form of
payment for all or part of the Participant's Retirement
Pension under the Salaried Plan. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, a Participant who elects a combination
lump sum and Annuity under the Salaried Plan is considered
to have specified an Annuity for part of his Salaried Plan
Pension.
(ii) PEP Election: A Participant who is not
covered by subparagraph (i) and who has a PEP Election in
effect as of the close of business on the day before his
Retirement Date shall receive his distribution in the form
of Annuity the Participant selects in such PEP Election.
(iii) No PEP Election: A Participant who is not
covered by subparagraph (i) or (ii) above shall receive his
distribution in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor
Annuity if he is married, or in the form of a Single Life
Annuity if he is not married. For purposes of this
subparagraph (iii), a Participant shall be considered
married if he is married on the day before his Retirement
Date.
: The forms of payment set forth in subsections (a) and (b) may be provided to
any Participant who is entitled to a Retirement Pension. The forms of payment
for other Participants are set forth in subsection (c) below. The provisions of
this section are effective for Annuity Starting Dates after 1989 and earlier
distributions shall be governed by prior terms of the Plan.
(a) Basic Forms of Payment: A Participant's Retirement
Pension shall be distributed in one of the forms of payment listed in this
subsection. The particular form of payment applicable to a Participant
shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.1. Payments shall
commence on the date specified in Section 6.1 and shall end on the date
specified in this subsection.
(1) Single Life Annuity Option: A Participant may
receive his Pension in the form of a Single Life Annuity, which
provides monthly payments ending with the last payment due prior to
his death.
(2) Survivor Options: A Participant may receive his
Pension in accordance with one of the following survivor options:
(i) 100 Percent Survivor Option: The Participant
shall receive a reduced Pension payable for life, ending
with the last monthly payment due prior to his death.
Payments in the same reduced amount shall continue after the
Participant's death to his beneficiary for life, beginning
on the first day of the month coincident with or following
the Participant's death and ending with the last monthly
payment due prior to the beneficiary's death.
(ii) 75 Percent Survivor Option: The Participant
shall receive a reduced Pension payable for life, ending
with the last monthly payment due prior to his death.
Payments in the amount of 75 percent of such reduced Pension
shall be continued after the Participant's death to his
beneficiary for life, beginning on the first day of the
month coincident with or following the Participant's death
and ending with the last monthly payment due prior to the
beneficiary's death.
(iii) 50 Percent Survivor Option: The Participant
shall receive a reduced Pension payable for life, ending
with the last monthly payment due prior to his death.
Payments in the amount of 50 percent of such reduced Pension
shall be continued after the Participant's death to his
beneficiary for life, beginning on the first day of the
month coincident with or following the Participant's death
and ending with the last monthly payment due prior to the
beneficiary's death. A 50 percent survivor option under this
paragraph shall be a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity if
the Participant's beneficiary is his Eligible Spouse.
(iv) Ten Years Certain and Life Option: The
Participant shall receive a reduced Pension which shall be
payable monthly for his lifetime but for not less than 120
months. If the retired Participant dies before 120 payments
have been made, the monthly Pension amount shall be paid for
the remainder of the 120 month period to the Participant's
primary beneficiary (or if the primary beneficiary has
predeceased the Participant, the Participant's contingent
beneficiary).
(3) Single Lump Sum Payment Option: A Participant may
receive payment of his Pension in the form of a Single Lump Sum
payment.
(4) Combination Lump Sum/Monthly Benefit Option: A
Participant who does not have an Advance Election in effect may
receive a portion of his Pension in the form of a lump sum payment,
and the remaining portion in the form of one of the monthly benefits
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above. The Pension is divided
between the two forms of payment based on the whole number
percentages designated by the Participant on a form provided for
this purpose by the Plan Administrator. For the election to be
effective, the sum of the two percentages designated by the
Participant must equal 100 percent.
(i) The amount of the Pension paid in the form of
a lump sum is determined by multiplying: (A) the amount that
would be payable to the Participant as a Single Lump Sum
payment if the Participant's entire benefit were payable in
that form, by (B) the percentage that the Participant has
designated for receipt in the form of a lump sum.
(ii) The amount of the Pension paid in the form of
a monthly benefit is determined by multiplying: (A) the
amount of the monthly benefit elected by the Participant,
determined in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) above
(whichever applies), by (B) the percentage that the
Participant has designated for receipt in the form of a
monthly benefit. (b) Inflation Protection: The following
levels of
inflation protection may be provided to any Participant who is entitled to
a Retirement Pension (except to the extent such Pension is paid as a lump
sum).
(1) 5 Percent Inflation Protection: A Participant's
monthly benefit shall be initially reduced, but thereafter shall be
increased if inflation in the prior year exceeds 5 percent. The
amount of the increase shall be the difference between inflation in
the prior year and 5 percent.
(2) 7 Percent Inflation Protection: A Participant's
monthly benefit shall be initially reduced, but thereafter shall be
increased if inflation in the prior year exceeds 7 percent. The
amount of the increase shall be the difference between inflation in
the prior year and 7 percent.
Benefits shall be subject to increase in accordance with this subsection
each January 1, beginning with the second January 1 following the
Participant's Annuity Starting Date. The amount of inflation in the prior
year shall be determined based on inflation in the 12-month period ending
on September 30 of such year, with inflation measured in the same manner
as applies on the Effective Date for adjusting Social Security benefits
for changes in the cost of living. Inflation protection that is in effect
shall carry over to any survivor benefit payable on behalf of a
Participant, and shall increase the otherwise applicable survivor benefit
as provided above. Any election by a Participant to receive inflation
protection shall be irrevocable by such Participant or his surviving
beneficiary.
(c) Available Options for Vested Benefits: The forms of
payment available for a Participant with a Vested Pension are a Qualified
Joint and Survivor Annuity for married Participants and a Single Life
Annuity for both married and unmarried Participants. The applicable form
of payment shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.1(a).
: This section sets forth the procedures for making Advance Elections and
PEP Elections.
(a) In General: To qualify as an Advance Election or PEP
Election for purposes of Section 6.1, an election must be made in writing,
on the form designated by the Plan Administrator, and must be signed by
the Participant. These requirements also apply to any revocations of such
elections. Spousal consent is not required for any election (or revocation
of election) under the Plan.
(b) Advance Election: To qualify as an Advance Election, an
election must be made on or after July 15, 1993 and meet the following
requirements.
(1) Election: The Participant shall designate on the
Advance Election form whether the Participant elects to take his
Pension in the form of an Annuity or a Single Lump Sum.
(2) Receipt by Plan Administrator: The Advance Election
must be received by the Plan Administrator before the start of the
calendar year containing the Participant's Retirement Date, and at
least 6 months before that Retirement Date. An election that meets
the foregoing requirements shall remain effective until it is
changed or revoked.
(3) Change or Revocation of Election: A Plan Participant
may change an Advance Election by filing a new Election that meets
the foregoing requirements. A Plan Participant may revoke an Advance
Election only by filing a revocation that is received by the Plan
Administrator before the start of the calendar year containing the
Plan Participant's Retirement Date, and at least 6 months before
that Retirement Date.
Any Advance Election by a Participant shall be void if the Participant is
not entitled to a Retirement Pension.
(c) PEP Election: A PEP Election may only be made by a
Participant who has an Advance Election to receive an Annuity in effect at
the time his PEP Election is received by the Plan Administrator. In
determining whether an Advance Election is in effect for this purpose, the
advance receipt requirement of subsection (b)(2) shall be considered met
if it will be met by the Participant's proposed Retirement Date.
(1) Election: The Participant shall designate on the PEP
Election form the Annuity form of benefit the Participant selects
from those described in Section 6.2, including the Participant's
choice of inflation protection, subject to the provisions of this
Article VI. The forms of payment described in Section 6.2(a)(3) and
(4) are not available pursuant to a PEP Election.
(2) Receipt by the Plan Administrator: The PEP Election
must be received by the Plan Administrator no earlier than 90 days
before the Participant's Retirement Date, and no later than the
close of business on the day before the Participant's Retirement
Date. The Participant shall furnish proof of the age of his
beneficiary (including his Eligible Spouse if applicable), to the
Plan Administrator by the day before the Participant's Retirement
Date, for any form of payment which is subject to reduction in
accordance with subsection 6.2(c) above.
A Participant may change his PEP Election by filing a new Election with
the Plan Administrator that meets the foregoing requirements. The
Participant's PEP Election shall become effective at the close of business
on the day before the Participant's Retirement Date. Any PEP Election by a
Participant shall be void if the Participant does not have an Advance
Election in effect at such time.
(d) Elections Rules for Annuity Starting Dates: When amounts
become payable to a Participant in accordance with Article IV, they shall
be payable as of the Participant's Annuity Starting Date and the election
procedures (in this section and Sections 6.1 and 6.5) shall apply to all
of the Participant's unpaid accruals as of such Annuity Starting Date,
with the following exception. In the case of a Participant who is rehired
after his initial Annuity Starting Date and who (i) is currently receiving
an Annuity that remained in pay status upon rehire, or (ii) was previously
paid a lump sum distribution (other than a cashout distribution described
in Section 4.9(a)), the Participant's subsequent Annuity Starting Date (as
a result of his termination of reemployment), and the election procedures
at such subsequent Annuity Starting Date, shall apply only to the portion
of his benefit that accrues after his rehire. Any prior accruals that
remain to be paid as of the Participant's subsequent Annuity Starting Date
shall continue to be payable in accordance with the elections made at his
initial Annuity Starting Date.
For purposes of this section, an election shall be treated as received on a
particular day if it is: (A) postmarked that day, or (B) actually received
by the Plan Administrator on that day. Delivery under clause (B) must be
made by the close of business, which time is to be determined by the Plan
Administrator.
: 6.4 Special Rules for Survivor Options
(a) Effect of Certain Deaths: If a Participant makes a PEP
Election for a form of payment described in Section 6.2(a)(2) and the
Participant or his beneficiary (beneficiaries in the case of Section
6.2(a)(2)(iv)) dies before the PEP Election becomes effective, the
election shall be disregarded. If the Participant dies after such PEP
Election becomes effective but before his Retirement Pension actually
commences, the election shall be given effect and the amount payable to
his surviving Eligible Spouse or other beneficiary shall commence on the
first day of the month following his death (any back payments due the
Participant shall be payable to his estate). In the case of a Participant
who has elected the form of payment described in Section 6.2(a)(2)(iv), if
such Participant dies: (i) after the PEP Election has become effective,
(ii) without a surviving primary or contingent beneficiary, and (iii)
before receiving 120 payments under the form of payment, then the
remaining payments due under such form of payment shall be paid to the
Participant's estate. If payments have commenced under such form of
payment to a Participant's primary or contingent beneficiary and such
beneficiary dies before payments are completed, then the remaining
payments due under such form of payment shall be paid to such
beneficiary's estate.
(b) Nonspouse Beneficiaries: If a Participant's beneficiary
is not his Eligible Spouse, he may not elect:
(i) The 100 percent survivor option described in
Section 6.2(a)(2)(i) if his nonspouse beneficiary is more
than 10 years younger than he is, or
(ii) The 75 percent survivor option described in
Section 6.2(a)(2)(ii) if his nonspouse beneficiary is more
than 19 years younger than he is.
: A Participant who has elected to receive all or part of his pension in a form
of payment that includes a survivor option shall designate a beneficiary who
will be entitled to any amounts payable on his death. Such designation shall be
made on a PEP Election Form or an approved election form filed under the
Salaried Plan, whichever is applicable. In the case of the survivor option
described in Section 6.2(a)(2)(iv), the Participant shall be entitled to name
both a primary beneficiary and a contingent beneficiary. A Participant (whether
active or former) shall have the right to change or revoke his beneficiary
designation at any time prior to when his election is finally effective. The
designation of any beneficiary, and any change or revocation thereof, shall be
made in accordance with rules adopted by the Plan Administrator. A beneficiary
designation shall not be effective unless and until filed with the Plan
Administrator. If no beneficiary is properly designated, then a Participant's
election of a survivor's option described in Section 6.2(a)(2) shall not be
given effect.
VII-3
ARTICLE VII Administration
: The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator, which shall have the
authority to interpret the Plan and issue such regulations as it deems
appropriate. The Plan Administrator shall maintain Plan records and make benefit
calculations, and may rely upon information furnished it by the Participant in
writing, including the Participant's current mailing address, age and marital
status. The Plan Administrator's interpretations, determinations, regulations
and calculations shall be final and binding on all persons and parties
concerned. The Company, in its capacity as Plan Administrator or in any other
capacity, shall not be a fiduciary of the Plan and any restrictions that apply
to a party in interest under section 406 of ERISA shall not apply to the Company
or otherwise under the Plan. : Whenever, in the Plan Administrator's opinion, a
person entitled to receive any payment of a benefit or installment thereof
hereunder is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be
unable to manage his financial affairs, the Plan Administrator may make payments
to such person or to the legal representative of such person for his benefit, or
the Plan Administrator may apply the payment for the benefit of such person in
such manner as it considers advisable. Any payment of a benefit or installment
thereof in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be a complete
discharge of any liability for the making of such payment under the provisions
of the Plan. : The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretionary
authority to construe and to interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of
eligibility for benefits and to determine the amount of such benefits, and its
decisions on such matters are final and conclusive. This discretionary authority
is intended to be absolute, and in any case where the extent of this discretion
is in question, the Plan Administrator is to be accorded the maximum discretion
possible. Any exercise of this discretionary authority shall be reviewed by a
court, arbitrator or other tribunal under the arbitrary and capricious standard
(i.e., the abuse of discretion standard). If, pursuant to this discretionary
authority, an assertion of any right to a benefit by or on behalf of a
Participant or beneficiary is wholly or partially denied, the Plan
Administrator, or a party designated by the Plan Administrator, will provide
such claimant within the 90-day period following the receipt of the claim by the
Plan Administrator, a comprehensible written notice setting forth:
(a) The specific reason or reasons for such denial; (b)
Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on
which the denial is based;
(c) A description of any additional material or information
necessary for the claimant to submit to perfect the claim and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and
(d) A description of the Plan's claim review procedure. The
claim review procedure is available upon written request by the claimant
to the Plan Administrator, or the designated party, within 60 days after
receipt by the claimant of written notice of the denial of the claim, and
includes the right to examine pertinent documents and submit issues and
comments in writing to the Plan Administrator, or the designated party.
The decision on review will be made within 60 days after receipt of the
request for review, unless circumstances warrant an extension of time not
to exceed an additional 60 days, and shall be in writing and drafted in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and include specific
reasons for the decision with references to the specific Plan provisions
on which the decision is based.
If within a reasonable period of time after the Plan receives the claim asserted
by the Participant, the Plan Administrator, or the designated party, fails to
provide a comprehensible written notice stating that the claim is wholly or
partially denied and setting forth the information described in (a) through (d)
above, the claim shall be deemed denied. Once the claim is deemed denied, the
Participant shall be entitled to the claim review procedure described in
subsection (d) above. Such review procedure shall be available upon written
request by the claimant to the Plan Administrator, or the designated party,
within 60 days after the claim is deemed denied. Any claim under the Plan that
is reviewed by a court shall be reviewed solely on the basis of the record
before the Plan Administrator at the time it made its determination. : Specific
references in the Plan to the Plan Administrator's discretion shall create no
inference that the Plan Administrator's discretion in any other respect, or in
connection with any other provision, is less complete or broad.
IX-1
ARTICLE VIII Miscellaneous
: Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment
between an Employer and any Employee, or as a right of any Employee to be
continued in the employment of an Employer, or as a limitation of the right of
an Employer to discharge any of its Employees, with or without cause. : Benefits
payable under the Plan or the right to receive future benefits under the Plan
shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any
kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate,
sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any
right to benefits payable hereunder, including any assignment or alienation in
connection with a divorce, separation, child support or similar arrangement,
shall be null and void and not binding on the Company. The Company shall not in
any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities,
engagements or torts of any person entitled to benefits hereunder. : The
Company's obligations under the Plan shall not be funded, but shall constitute
liabilities by the Company payable when due out of the Company's general funds.
To the extent the Participant or any other person acquires a right to receive
benefits under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the rights of any
unsecured general creditor of the Company. : Any action by the Company under
this Plan may be made by the Board of Directors of the Company or by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, with a report of any actions
taken by it to the Board of Directors. In addition, such action may be made by
any other person or persons duly authorized by resolution of said Board to take
such action. : Unless the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine
otherwise, the Company shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any
employee acting in good faith within the scope of his employment in carrying out
the administration of the Plan.
ARTICLE IX Amendment and Termination
: While the Company and the Employers intend to continue the Plan indefinitely,
they assume no contractual obligation as to its continuance. In accordance with
Section 8.4, the Company hereby reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
amend, terminate, or partially terminate the Plan at any time provided, however,
that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the amount of
benefit to which a Participant or his beneficiary is entitled under Article IV
on the date of such amendment or termination, unless the Participant becomes
entitled to an amount equal to such benefit under another plan or practice
adopted by the Company. Specific forms of payment are not protected under the
preceding sentence. : The Company may, in its sole discretion, make any
amendment or amendments to this Plan from time to time, with or without
retroactive effect, including any amendment or amendments to eliminate available
distribution options under Article VI hereof at any time before the earlier of
the Participant's Annuity Starting Date under this Plan or under the Salaried
Plan. An Employer (other than the Company) shall not have the right to amend the
Plan. : The Company may terminate the Plan, either as to its participation or as
to the participation of one or more Employers. If the Plan is terminated with
respect to fewer than all of the Employers, the Plan shall continue in effect
for the benefit of the Employees of the remaining Employers.
X-2
ARTICLE X ERISA Plan Structure This Plan document
encompasses three separate plans within the
meaning of ERISA, as are set forth in subsections (a), (b) and (c). This
division into separate plans shall be effective as of July 1, 1996; previously
the plans set forth in subsections (b) and (c) were a single plan within the
meaning of ERISA.
(a) Excess Benefit Plan: An excess benefit plan within the
meaning of section 3(36) of ERISA, maintained solely for the purpose of
providing benefits for Salaried Plan participants in excess of the
limitations on benefits imposed by section 415 of the Code.
(b) Excess Compensation High Hat Plan: A plan maintained by
the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation
for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within
the meaning of sections 201(2) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The plan provides
benefits for Salaried Plan participants in excess of the limitations
imposed by section 401(a)(17) of the Code on benefits under the Salaried
Plan (after taking into account any benefits under the excess benefit
plan). For ERISA reporting purposes, this portion of PEP may be referred
to as the PepsiCo Pension Equalization Plan I.
(c) Grandfather High Hat Plan: A plan maintained by the
Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a
select group of management or highly compensated employees within the
meaning of sections 201(2) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The plan provides
grandfather benefits to those Salaried Plan participants described in
section 5.2(a) hereof, by preserving for them the pre-1989 level of
benefit accrual that was in effect before the Salaried Plan's amendment
effective January 1, 1989 (after taking into account any benefits under
the excess benefit plan and excess compensation high hat plan). For ERISA
reporting purposes, this portion of PEP shall be referred to as the
PepsiCo Pension Equalization Plan II.
Benefits under this Plan shall be allocated first to the excess benefit plan, to
the extent of benefits paid for the purpose indicated in (a) above; then any
remaining benefits shall be allocated to the excess compensation high hat plan,
to the extent of benefits paid for the purpose indicated in (b) above; then any
remaining benefits shall be allocated to the grandfather high hat plan. These
three plans are severable for any and all purposes as directed by the Company.
XI-1
ARTICLE XI Applicable Law
All questions pertaining to the construction, validity and effect of
the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. In the
event ERISA is not applicable or does not preempt state law, the laws of the
state of New York shall govern.
If any provision of this Plan is, or is hereafter declared to be,
void, voidable, invalid or otherwise unlawful, the remainder of the Plan shall
not be affected thereby.

APPENDIX
Foreword
This Appendix sets forth additional provisions applicable to
individuals specified in the Articles of this Appendix. In any case where there
is a conflict between the Appendix and the main text of the Plan, the Appendix
shall govern.
A-3
ARTICLE A
Accruals for 1993 and 1994
This Article A of the Appendix shall be effective on the date the
Plan is adopted.
A.1 Accruals for 1993 and 1994: This section shall apply to any
individual: (i) who is a Salaried Plan Participant and employed by the PepsiCo
Organization on December 31, 1993, (ii) whose Salaried Plan Pension is vested
during 1993 (or would become vested in 1994 if his Service included the assumed
period of continued service specified in (a)(1) below), and (iii) whose minimum
1993 Pension in subsection (a) below is not derived solely from that portion of
the Plan described in (c) of Article X. In determining the amount of the 1993
and 1994 Pension amounts for any such individual, the provisions set forth in
subsections (a) and (b) below shall apply.
(a) Minimum 1993 Pension: Any individual who is covered by
this section shall accrue a minimum 1993 Pension as of December 31, 1993.
In determining the amount of such individual's minimum 1993 Pension, the
following shall apply.
(1) An individual's Service and Credited Service as of
the end of 1993 shall be assumed to equal the respective Service and
Credited Service he would have if his Service continued through
December 31, 1994. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
assumed period of continued Service shall be less to the extent the
Corporation's human resource records on December 31, 1993 reflect a
scheduled termination date in 1994 for such individual. In this
case, the individual's assumed period of continued service shall be
the portion of 1994 that ends with such scheduled termination date.
(2) An individual's Highest Average Monthly Earnings as
of the end of 1993 shall be adjusted by the actuary's salary scale
assumption which is used under the Salaried Plan, so that they equal
the amount such scale projects for the individual as of the end of
1994. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following special
rules shall apply.
(i) A higher salary scale assumption shall be used
for anyone whose projected 1994 earnings as reflected on the
"Special PEP Salary Scale" of the PepsiCo Benefits
Department on December 31, 1993 are higher than would be
assumed under the first sentence of this paragraph. In this
case, the individual's 1993 earnings shall be adjusted using
such higher salary scale.
(ii) In the case of an individual whose assumed
period of service under paragraph (1) above is less than all
of 1994, the salary adjustment under the preceding
provisions of this paragraph shall be reduced to the amount
that would apply if the individual had no earnings after his
scheduled termination date.
(3) An individual's attained age as of the end of 1993
shall be assumed to be the age he would have at the end of the
assumed period of continued service applicable under paragraph (1)
above.
Any individual who is covered by this section, and who is not otherwise
vested as of December 31, 1993, shall be vested as of such date in both
his Pension (determined without regard to this subsection) and his minimum
1993 Pension. For purposes of this subsection, Code section 401(a)(17)
shall be applied in 1993 by giving effect to the amendments to such Code
section made by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Amendments of 1993.
(b) Determination of 1994 Accrual: If a participant in the
Salaried Plan accrues a minimum 1993 Pension under subsection (a) above,
the amount of any PEP Pension for 1994 that accrues shall be only the
amount by which the PEP Pension that would otherwise accrue for 1994
exceeds his minimum 1993 Pension under subsection (a).
