PEPSICO 401(K) PLAN
PREAMBLE
The PepsiCo 401(k) Plan ("Plan") permits eligible employees to defer receipt of
a portion of their compensation on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis in order
to promote retirement savings. The Plan provides for distributions in the event
of termination of employment. In addition, withdrawals are permitted in certain
circumstances and loans are available to certain participants. The Plan is
intended to be a profit-sharing plan which meets the requirements for
qualification and tax-exemption under sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Plan was originally established for the benefit of the Employees of
Tropicana Products, Inc. ("Tropicana"), in connection with the sale of Tropicana
to PepsiCo Inc. ("PepsiCo") by Seagram Enterprises, Inc. on August 25, 1998 (the
"Closing"). Prior to the Closing, Tropicana was a member of the controlled group
which included Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Inc. ("Seagram") and was a
participating employer in the Retirement Savings and Investment Plan for
Employees of Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Inc. and Affiliates (the "Seagram Plan")
sponsored by Seagram. Effective as of the Closing, Tropicana ceased to be a
member of Seagram's controlled group and coincident therewith ceased to be a
participating employer in the Seagram Plan. Tropicana deemed it desirable to
adopt a 401(k) plan with respect to Tropicana's eligible employees and certain
former employees with account balances remaining in the Seagram Plan.
Accordingly, effective as of the Closing, Tropicana adopted this Plan to receive
a spinoff of the portion of the Seagram Plan covering the following individuals
("Seagram-Tropicana employees"): (i) employees of Tropicana and any of its
Page 2
subsidiaries who were employed on the Closing, (ii) terminated employees of
Tropicana and any of its subsidiaries with account balances under the Seagram
Plan as of the Closing, and (iii) employees of Seagram or any affiliate thereof
who were transferred to (or otherwise became employed by) Tropicana in
connection with Tropicana's divestiture by Seagram Enterprises, Inc. Effective
immediately thereafter, PepsiCo replaced Tropicana as the sponsor of the Plan.
Following the Closing, assets and liabilities were transferred from the Seagram
Plan to this Plan in an amount equal to the account balances of
Seagram-Tropicana employees in the Seagram Plan immediately before the transfer.
The accrued benefits of the Seagram-Tropicana employees in the Seagram Plan were
preserved in this Plan, as provided herein.
From the Closing through September 30, 1999, this Plan was known as the
"Tropicana Retirement Savings and Investment Plan." Effective October 1, 1999,
the Plan's name changed to the PepsiCo 401(k) Plan, a new recordkeeper was
appointed, and certain modification related to the change in recordkeeper were
adopted.
The rights and benefits of any individual who ceases to be a participant in this
Plan shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Plan as in
effect on the date such individual ceases to be a participant in this Plan
unless otherwise specified in the Plan or required by law.

of complying with unemployment compensation, workers' compensation or
disability insurance laws.

6.5 WITHDRAWALS AFTER ATTAINING AGE 59-1/2.

(d) The Participant's Pre-tax Contributions Account, QNECs

6.6 HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS.
(a) A Participant who has withdrawn the total amount available for
withdrawal under Sections 6.1 through 6.5 may receive a hardship
withdrawal of all or a portion of his or her (i) matched After-tax
Contributions which have been credited to his or her After-tax
Contributions Account within six months prior to the date of the
Page 44
withdrawal, and (ii) his or her Pre-tax Contributions Account (other
than any post-1988 earnings on such account), provided the Participant
furnishes proof, satisfactory to the Plan Administrator, that the
withdrawal is necessary to alleviate an immediate and heavy financial
need (as determined in accordance with Section 6.6(b) below) and that
the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed the amount necessary to
satisfy such financial need (as determined in accordance with Section
6.6(c) below). The determination by the Plan Administrator of the
existence of an immediate and heavy financial need and of the amount
necessary to meet such need shall be made in a nondiscriminatory and
uniform manner. The Plan Administrator shall not allow a hardship
withdrawal to be made to a Participant unless the requirements of this
Section 6.6 are satisfied.
(b) Subject to Section 6.6(c), a Participant shall be deemed to have an
immediate and heavy financial need if the Participant needs the
hardship withdrawal for one of the following reasons:
(i) Medical expenses described in Code Section 213(d) which are
incurred by the Participant, the Participant's Spouse or
dependents (as defined in Code Section 152), or necessary for
such persons to obtain medical care described in Code Section
213(d);
(ii) Costs directly related to the purchase of a principal
residence for the Participant (excluding mortgage payments);
(iii) Payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next
12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant or
for the Participant's Spouse or dependents (as defined in Code
Section 152);
Page 45
(iv) Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Participant
from his or her principal residence or to prevent foreclosure
on the mortgage of the Participant's principal residence;
(v) Any need prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service in a
revenue ruling, notice or other document of general
applicability which satisfies the safe harbor definition of
hardship; or
(vi) Any need determined by the Plan Administrator to constitute
the type of need which would authorize a hardship distribution
under Code Section 401(k) and applicable regulations.
The determination of whether a Participant has met the requirements for
a hardship withdrawal shall be made on the basis of all the relevant
facts and circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a financial
need shall not fail to qualify as immediate and heavy merely because
such need was reasonably foreseeable or voluntarily incurred by the
Participant.
(c) A request for a hardship withdrawal made pursuant to this Section 6.6
shall be deemed to be necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy
financial need of a Participant if:
(i) The distribution is not in excess of the amount of the
Participant's immediate and heavy financial need (including
any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local
income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result
from such distribution); and
Page 46
(ii) The Participant has obtained all distributions (other than
hardship withdrawals) and all nontaxable loans currently
available under the Plan and all other plans maintained by
employers within the PepsiCo Organization.
(iii) In making its determination that a hardship withdrawal is
necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need,
the Plan Administrator may, unless it has actual knowledge to
the contrary, rely on a written statement by the Participant
that the need cannot be reasonably relieved (i) through the
reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (ii)
by liquidation of the Participant's assets, (iii) by cessation
of deferrals or contributions to the Plan, or (iv) by other
distribution or nontaxable (at the time of the loan) loans
from plans maintained by the Employer or by any other employer
(or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable
commercial terms) in an amount sufficient to satisfy the need.
For purposes of this Section, taking any of the foregoing
actions shall not be deemed to reasonably relieve a need if
the effect of taking any such action would be to increase the
amount of the need.
(d) For hardship withdrawals taken before October 1, 1999, and
notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a
Participant who receives a hardship withdrawal shall not be permitted
to make After-tax Contributions or have Pre-tax or Matching
Contributions made on his or her behalf for a period of 12 months
following the date the Plan distributes the hardship withdrawal.
Page 47
6.7 IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURES AND RESTRICTIONS.

A loan may be made in an amount (not less than $1,000) which, when
added to the outstanding balance of all prior loans to the Borrower
under the Plan, does not exceed the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by
the excess, if any, of (A) the highest outstanding balance of loans
from the Plan during the one-year period ending on the day before the
Page 49
date such loan was made, over (B) the outstanding balance of loans from
the Plan on the date on which such loan was made; or (ii) one-half of
the present value of the Borrower's non-forfeitable accrued benefit

such other interest rate as may later be designated by the Plan
Administrator for subsequent loans. The prime rate shall be determined
as of the last day of the month before such loan is made (in the case
of loans issued before October 1, 1999, the first day of the month in
which such loan is made) or the first business day immediately
following such date, as announced in the Wall Street Journal (or to the
extent the Wall Street Journal ceases to be published, such other
newspaper as is selected by the Plan Administrator).

years (twenty-five years for loans issued before October 1, 1999) and,
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that loan repayments will be suspended under the
Plan as permitted under Code Section 414(u)(4). A Participant
requesting a Principal Residence Loan shall provide copies of any
documents relating to the purchase of such principal residence which
the Plan Administrator may deem necessary to verify that the proceeds
of such loan will be used to acquire or construct a principal
residence.
(b) Loans shall be repaid by means of payroll deduction from the Borrower's
Salary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if at any time a Participant is not
receiving Salary from an employer within the PepsiCo Organization, the
loan repayment shall be made in accordance with the terms and
procedures established by the Plan Administrator and applied on a
uniform, nondiscriminatory basis. A Participant may repay an
outstanding loan in full at any time without penalty.
Page 51
Amounts repaid shall be returned to the subaccount from which they are
borrowed in the reverse order from the order in which they were
borrowed and shall be reinvested as provided in Section 4.4.

accrued interest) shall be deemed distributed, and the value of
Borrower's Account reduced accordingly as of the date of default;

Participant's Pre-tax Contributions Account, QNECs Account or QMACs
Account, such deemed distribution shall not occur until the earlier of
the date the Participant Separates from Service or attains age 59-1/2.
7.7 ADDITIONAL RULES.
The Plan Administrator may establish rules and procedures regarding
loans to Participants which may be more restrictive than the rules and
procedures set forth in this Article VII. Any such rules and procedures

Participant elects to receive a distribution in periodic installments,
the amount distributed each period shall be an amount determined by
multiplying the value of the Participant's Account by a fraction, the
numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total
number of periodic payments yet unpaid (or such larger amount as may be
required to be distributed under Code Section 401(a)(9)). A Participant

of, Section 8.2. The remainder of the Participant's Account shall be
paid in one lump sum.

prescribe) to either defer receipt of a lump sum distribution until the
fifth anniversary of the Participant's death or to receive a
distribution in the form of variable periodic payments determined in
the same manner as described in Section 8.2(b); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
Page 54
if a Beneficiary is the Participant's Surviving Spouse, the Beneficiary
may elect to defer receipt of a lump sum distribution until the April
1st following the date the Participant would have attained age 70-1/2;
PROVIDED, FURTHER, that a Beneficiary may not elect to receive periodic
payments over a 10 year period if the Beneficiary's life expectancy

distribution of the balance of his or her Account.
(c) If a Participant dies after distribution of his or her Account has
commenced, the remaining portion of such Participant's Account shall be
distributed to the Participant's Beneficiary no less rapidly than under
the form of distribution elected by the Participant; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Beneficiary may, by written notice to the Plan Administrator,
elect to receive all or a portion of the distribution or the remainder
thereof in a lump sum.
(d) The Plan Administrator may require and rely upon such proof of death
and such evidence of the right of any Beneficiary or other person to
receive the value of a deceased Participant's Account as the Plan
Administrator may deem proper and its determination of death and of the
right of that Beneficiary or other person to receive payment shall be
conclusive.
8.5 COMMENCEMENT OF PAYMENTS.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, distributions shall be paid as soon as
practicable after the Participant's Separation from Service or such
later payment date as the Participant or Beneficiary shall have elected
in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, no distribution shall be made without the Participant's
Page 55
consent except in the case of cashouts under Section 8.8, and except
that notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in no event

liquidity purposes, and shall not be available with respect to hardship
withdrawals.
8.7 AMOUNT OF DISTRIBUTION.
The amount of any distribution to be made based on the value of a Participant's
Account, or a portion thereof, shall be determined with reference to the value

Participant in installment form, the vested portion of the

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, a Participant who is
a Five-percent Owner must begin receiving distributions from his or her

(c) In the event a Participant, other than a Participant described in
paragraph (b) above, is receiving payments while in service in
accordance with the provisions of Code Section 401(a)(9) as of December
31, 1996, the Participant may elect to suspend payments while he or she
remains in service in accordance with such uniform rules as the Plan
Administrator shall adopt.
8.9 DIRECT ROLLOVERS.
A Participant (or a Beneficiary that is the Participant's Surviving
Spouse) may elect to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover
Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified in
writing by such Participant (or Surviving Spouse).
8.10 QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS.
The Plan Administrator shall establish reasonable procedures to
determine the qualified status of a domestic relations order in
accordance with the requirements of Code Section 414(p) and ERISA
Section 206(d). An alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations
order may receive a distribution from this Plan prior to the date the
Participant to whom the order relates attains the earliest retirement
age under the Plan.
Page 58
8.11 BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.
(a) A Participant may from time to time designate a Beneficiary to receive
the value of his or her Account following the Participant's death by
filing a Beneficiary Designation Form with the Plan Administrator.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Participant dies leaving a
Surviving Spouse before complete distribution of his or her Account,
the Participant's Beneficiary shall be the Participant's Surviving
Spouse, unless such Surviving Spouse has consented to the designation
of another Beneficiary, in a writing witnessed by a notary public, a
Plan representative or as otherwise provided by applicable law;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Spouse's consent shall not be required if:
(i) The Participant and his or her Spouse were not married
throughout the one year period ending on the date of the
Participant's death;

Spouse;
(iii) The Participant is legally separated or the spouse has
abandoned the Participant and the Participant has a court
order to that effect; or

Spouse's legal guardian may give consent (even if the Participant is
the legal guardian).
(b) If a Participant fails to name a Beneficiary or if the Beneficiary
named by a Participant predeceases him or her, then the Plan
Administrator shall direct the Trustee to pay the Participant's Account
to the Participant's estate.
Page 59
(c) If the Beneficiary does not predecease the Participant, but dies prior
to complete distribution of the Participant's Account, the Plan
Administrator shall direct the Trustee to pay the amounts remaining in
the Participant's Account to the Beneficiary's estate (unless the
deceased Beneficiary had filed a Beneficiary Designation Form with the
Plan Administrator which named another Beneficiary and which was in
effect at the time of the deceased Beneficiary's death, in which case
to the Beneficiary named in that Beneficiary Designation Form).
(d) If the Plan Administrator, after reasonable inquiry, is unable within
one year to determine whether or not any designated Beneficiary
survived the event that entitled him or her to receive a distribution
of any benefit under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall
conclusively presume that such Beneficiary died prior to the date he or
she was entitled to a distribution.
8.12 INCOMPETENT OR LOST DISTRIBUTEE.
(a) If the Plan Administrator determines that a Participant or Beneficiary
entitled to a distribution hereunder is unable to care for his or her
affairs because of illness or accident or because he or she is a minor,
then, unless a claim is made for the benefit by a duly appointed legal
representative, the Plan Administrator may direct that such
distribution be paid to such distributee's spouse, child, parent or
other blood relative, or to a person with whom such distributee
resides. Any such payment, when made, shall be a complete discharge of
the liabilities of the Plan therefore.
(b) In the event that the Plan Administrator, after reasonable and diligent
effort, cannot locate any person to whom a payment or distribution is
due under the Plan, and no other distributee has become entitled to
Page 60
such distribution pursuant to any provision of the Plan, the
Participant's Account in respect of which such payment or distribution
is to be made shall be forfeited six months after the date in which
such payment or distribution first becomes due or such later date as
the Plan Administrator prescribes (but in all events prior to the time
such Account would otherwise escheat under any applicable State law);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Account so forfeited shall be reinstated,
in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section, if such person
subsequently makes a valid claim for such benefit.
(c) The Plan Administrator shall be deemed to have made a reasonable and
diligent effort to locate a person if it has sent notification
describing the relative values of the optional forms of benefit
available under the Plan (including any right to defer such
distribution) and the risk of forfeiture of such benefit by certified
or registered mail to the last known address of such person.
(d) Any amount forfeited under this Section 8.12 shall be used to reduce
Employer Matching Contributions for the Plan Year in which such
forfeiture occurs.
(e) If a Participant or Beneficiary whose Account is forfeited pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section makes a valid claim for benefits, the
Plan Administrator shall restore the Participant's Account to the same
dollar amount as the dollar amount forfeited, unadjusted for any gains
or losses occurring subsequent to the date of the forfeiture. Such
amounts shall be restored from the amount of forfeitures that the
Employer would have otherwise allocated to Participants. To the extent
the amount of available forfeitures is insufficient to enable the Plan
Administrator to make the required restoration, the Employer must
Page 61
contribute, without regard to any requirement or condition of Articles
XIII through XVI the additional amount necessary to enable the Plan
Administrator to make the required restoration.
(f) Accounts restored under this Section 8.12 shall be distributed no later
than 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which the Account is
restored.

Page 64
ARTICLE X - PLAN ADMINISTRATION
10.1 ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITY AMONG FIDUCIARIES FOR PLAN AND TRUST
ADMINISTRATION.
The Fiduciaries shall have only those specific powers, duties,
responsibilities, and obligations as are specifically given them under
this Plan or the Trust Agreement. The Plan Administrator shall have the
sole responsibility for the administration of the Plan, which
responsibility is specifically described in this Plan and the Trust
Agreement, except where an agent is appointed to perform administrative
duties as specifically agreed to by the Plan Administrator and the
agent. Subject to Article IX, the Trustee shall have the sole
responsibility for the administration of the Trust and the management
of the assets held under the Trust as specifically provided in the
Trust Agreement, except where an investment manager has been appointed
or as provided otherwise in the Trust Agreement. Each Fiduciary
warrants that any direction given, information furnished, or action
taken by it shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or
the Trust Agreement, as the case may be, authorizing or providing for
such direction, information or action. Furthermore, each Fiduciary may
rely upon any direction, information or action of another Fiduciary as
being proper under this Plan or the Trust, and is not required under
this Plan or the Trust Agreement to inquire into the propriety of any
direction, information or action. It is intended under this Plan and
the Trust Agreement that each Fiduciary shall be responsible for the
proper exercise of its own powers, duties, responsibilities and
obligations under this Plan and the Trust Agreement and shall not be
responsible for any act or failure to act of another Fiduciary. No
Fiduciary guarantees the Trust in any manner against investment loss or
depreciation in asset value.
Page 65
10.2 ADMINISTRATION.
The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator which may
appoint or employ individuals to assist in the administration of the
Plan and which may appoint or employ any other agents it deems
advisable, including legal counsel, actuaries and auditors to serve at
the Plan Administrator's direction. All usual and reasonable expenses
of maintaining, operating and administering the Plan and the Trust,
including the expenses of the Plan Administrator and the Trustee (and
their agents), shall be paid from the Trust (whether directly or by
reimbursement to the Company), except to the extent the Company or the
Employer pays such expenses.
10.3 CLAIMS PROCEDURE.
The Plan Administrator, or a party designated by 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. Any
exercise of this discretionary authority shall be reviewed by a court
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 a Participant or beneficiary is
wholly or partially denied, the Plan Administrator, or a party
designated by the Plan Administrator, will provide such claimant 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;
Page 66
(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 circumstances warrant, the Plan Administrator shall provide the
claimant a written notice, prior to the end of the 90-day period for
processing the claim, extending such period by up to an additional 90
days and indicating the circumstances requiring the extension and the
date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision. If
the Plan Administrator 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 within the 90-day
processing period and if no extension of such 90-day period is made,
the claim shall be deemed denied. Once the claim is deemed denied, the
Page 67
Participant shall be entitled to the claims review procedure described
in paragraph (d) above. Such review procedure shall be available upon
written request by the claimant to the Plan Administrator within 60
days after the claim is deemed denied. Any claim referenced in this
Section that is reviewed by a court, arbitrator, or any other tribunal
shall be reviewed solely on the basis of the record before the Plan
Administrator. In addition, any such review shall be conditioned on the
claimants having fully exhausted all rights under this Section.
10.4 RECORDS AND REPORTS.
The Plan Administrator shall exercise such authority and responsibility
as it deems appropriate in order to comply with ERISA and government
regulations issued thereunder relating to records of Participants'
service and benefits, notifications to Participants; reports to, or
registration with, the Internal Revenue Service; reports to the
Department of Labor; and such other documents and reports as may be
required by ERISA.
10.5 OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS AND DUTIES.
The Plan Administrator shall have such powers and duties as may be
necessary or desirable to discharge its functions hereunder, including:
(a) To exercise its discretionary authority to construe and
interpret the Plan, decide all questions of eligibility and
determine the amount, manner and time of payment of any
benefits hereunder;
(b) To prescribe procedures to be followed by Participants or
Beneficiaries filing applications for benefits;
Page 68
(c) To prepare and distribute, in such manner as the Plan
Administrator determines to be appropriate, information
explaining the Plan;
(d) To receive from employees and agents and from Participants
such information as shall be necessary for the proper
administration of the Plan;
(e) To receive, review and keep on file (as it deems convenient or
proper) reports of the financial condition, and of the
receipts and disbursements, of the Trust from the Trustee;
(f) To appoint or employ individuals or other parties to assist in
the administration of the Plan and any other agents it deems
advisable, including accountants, actuaries and legal counsel;
and
(g) To delegate to other persons or entities, or to designate or
employ persons to carry out any of the Plan Administrator's
fiduciary duties or responsibilities or other functions under
the Plan.
10.6 RULES AND DECISIONS.
The Plan Administrator may adopt such rules and procedures as it deems
necessary, desirable, or appropriate. To the extent practicable, all
rules and decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be uniformly and
consistently applied to all Participants in similar circumstances. When
making a determination or calculation, the Plan Administrator shall be
entitled to rely upon information furnished by a Participant or
beneficiary, the legal counsel of the Plan Administrator, or the
Trustee.
Page 69
10.7 PROCEDURES.
The Plan Administrator shall keep all necessary records and forward all
necessary communications to the Trustee. The Plan Administrator may
adopt such regulations as it deems desirable for the administration of
the Plan.
10.8 AUTHORIZATION OF BENEFIT DISTRIBUTIONS.
The Plan Administrator shall issue directions to the Trustee concerning
all benefits which are to be paid from the Trust pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan, and shall warrant that all such directions are
in accordance with this Plan.
10.9 APPLICATION AND FORMS FOR DISTRIBUTIONS.
The Plan Administrator may require a Participant to complete and file
with the Plan Administrator an application for a distribution and all
other forms approved by the Plan Administrator, and to furnish all
pertinent information requested by the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator may rely upon all such information so furnished it,
including the Participant's current mailing address, age and marital
status.
10.10 FACILITY OF PAYMENT
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
direct the Trustee to make payments to such person or to the legal
representative of such person for his benefit, or the Plan
Administrator may direct the Trustee to apply the payment for the
benefit of such person in such manner as the Plan Administrator
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.
Page 70
10.11 BLACKOUT PERIOD IN 1999
During a blackout period lasting approximately from September 17, 1999
through and including October 31, 1999 (with the exact dates to be
determined and communicated by the Plan Administrator) in connection
with a change in the recordkeeper for the Plan scheduled to occur on or
about October 1, 1999, no Participant may amend or revoke his or her
Contribution Election, no Participant may make or change his or her
Investment Election except when making the initial Investment Election
that accompanies his or her initial Contribution Election, rollovers
and reallocation requests will not be accepted, and loans and other
distributions will not be made. From approximately September 29, 1999
through and including October 31, 1999 (with the exact dates to be
determined and communicated by the Plan Administrator), no Participant
may reallocate his or her Account balances among the Plan's investment
options. To carry out the special provisions of this section, the Plan
Administrator may adopt such rules and procedures as it deems
necessary.
Page 71
ARTICLE XI - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
11.1 AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.
The Company shall have the right in its discretion at any time by
instrument in writing, duly executed and acknowledged and delivered to
the Trustee, to modify, alter or amend this Plan in whole or in part.
However, except as permissible under the Code and ERISA, no amendment
shall:
(a) Reduce the amounts in any Participant's Account because of
forfeiture or reduce the vested right or interest to which any
Participant or Beneficiary is then entitled under this Plan;
(b) Eliminate an optional form of benefit with respect to a
Participant's Account as of the date of the amendment;
(c) Cause or authorize any part of the Trust Fund to revert or be
refunded to the Employer, or
(d) Cause any assets of the Trust to be used for, or diverted to,
purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants
and their Beneficiaries (other than such part as is required
to pay taxes and expenses of administration).
To the extent permitted under the Code, the Company shall have the
right to amend the Plan at any time, retroactively or otherwise, in
such respects and to such extent as may be necessary to qualify it
under existing and applicable laws and regulations in order to make
available to the Employers the tax benefits associated with qualified
plans, including the full deduction for tax purposes of the Employer
contributions made hereunder. A participating Employer shall not have
Page 72
the right to amend the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision herein to
the contrary, the Company may by such amendment decrease or otherwise
affect the rights of Participants hereunder if, and to the extent,
necessary to accomplish such purpose.
11.2 RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE PLAN OR DISCONTINUE CONTRIBUTIONS.
The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan or completely
discontinue contributions under the Plan for any reason, at any time.
Action taken by the Company to terminate the Plan or discontinue
contributions shall be in writing and shall be effective as of the date
set forth in such writing.
11.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OR DISCONTINUANCE OF CONTRIBUTIONS.
As of the date of a complete termination of the Plan or the complete
discontinuance of contributions to the Plan, each Participant who is
then an Employee shall become 100% vested in his or her Account. Upon
termination, all Accounts shall be distributed to or for the benefit of
the Participant or continued in trust for his or her benefit, as the
Plan Administrator shall direct. After distribution of all Accounts
under the Plan, any amounts remaining in the suspense account
established under Section 15.2(b) shall revert to the Employer, as
permitted by the Code.
11.4 EFFECT OF A PARTIAL TERMINATION.
As of the date of a partial termination, each affected Participant who
Page 73
is then an Employee shall become 100% vested in his or her Account and
the Accounts of Participants affected by the partial termination shall
be distributed to or for the benefit of such Participants or continued
in trust for their benefit, as the Plan Administrator shall direct.
11.5 PLAN MERGER.
The Company may not merge or consolidate the Plan with, or transfer any
assets or liabilities to, any other plan, unless each Participant would
(if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the
merger, consolidation or transfer, which is equal to or greater than
the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive immediately
before the merger, consolidation or transfer if the Plan had then
terminated.
11.6 ADDITIONAL PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS.
With the consent of the Plan Sponsor, any other corporation may adopt
the Plan and the Trust for its Eligible Employees, with such changes
and variations in Plan terms as the Plan Sponsor approves. Any such
adoption shall be contingent upon the Internal Revenue Service not
making a determination that such adoption adversely affects the
qualified status of the Plan and Trust. An Employer adopting the Plan
shall compile and submit all information required by the Plan Sponsor
with reference to its Eligible Employees.
11.7 WITHDRAWAL OF A PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER.
A participating Employer may withdraw from the Plan upon six month's
prior written notice to the Plan Administrator (unless the Plan
Administrator approves a shorter notice period). If a participating
Employer discontinues or suspends contributions to the Plan upon behalf
of its employees or if a participating Employer shall become insolvent
or bankrupt, or be dissolved, such participating Employer shall be
Page 74
deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan. If a participating Employer
ceases to be a member of the PepsiCo Organization, such participating
Employer shall continue to be a participating Employer unless and until
the Company demands, in writing, that such participating Employer
withdraw from the Plan. If the Company demands that a participating
Employer withdraw from the Plan, such withdrawal shall be automatically
effective six months after such demand.
Page 75
ARTICLE XII - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
12.1 ACTION BY THE COMPANY.
Any action by the Company, including any amendment authorized to be
made under Section 11.1, shall be made by a resolution adopted by the
Company's Board of Directors. In addition, any person or persons
authorized by the Board may take action on behalf of the Company. Any
such resolution of the Board of Directors shall be effective provided
it is adopted in accordance with the bylaws (or other governing
authority) of the Company. Any action taken by any other person or
persons shall be effective provided it is executed in accordance with
the authorization of the Board.

Beneficiary to any benefit or to any payment hereunder shall not be
subject to assignment, alienation, attachment, or other legal,
equitable, or other process, and any attempt to assign, alienate,
attach, or otherwise encumber such benefit or payment shall be void,
except that payment shall be made in accordance with a "qualified
domestic relations order" that meets the requirements of Code Section
414(p) and ERISA Section 206(d), under the procedures developed in
accordance with Section 8.10.
Page 76
12.4 REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO PLAN ADMINISTRATOR.

from the Trust, and neither the Company, an Employer, the Plan
Administrator, the Trustee, or any investment manager shall assume any
liability therefor.

and to comply with ERISA and shall be construed and interpreted in a
manner consistent with the requirements of these laws. The Plan and the
rights of all persons under the Plan shall be further construed and
administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida to the
extent not superseded by Federal law.
Page 77
ARTICLE XIII - LIMITATION ON PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS
13.1 CODE SECTION 402(G) LIMITATION ON PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS.
An Employee's Pre-tax Contributions plus elective deferrals made under
any other Plan of the Employer for a calendar year may not exceed
$10,000 (as adjusted for cost of living in accordance with Code Section
415(d)).
13.2 TREATMENT OF EXCESS DEFERRALS.
(a) If, during the Plan Year, the Plan Administrator determines that
continued contribution of Pre-tax Contributions for the Plan Year on
behalf of an Employee would exceed the Code Section 402(g) limitation,
the Employer shall not make any additional Pre-tax Contributions with
respect to such Employee for the remainder of that Plan Year.
(b) If, during the Plan Year, the Plan Administrator determines that
Pre-tax Contributions made on behalf of an Employee exceed the Code
Section 402(g) limitation, the Plan Administrator shall distribute the
amount of such Excess Deferral, adjusted for allocable income and
losses, no later than the April 15th following the Plan Year in which
such Excess Deferrals were made.
(c) The Plan Administrator shall reduce the amount of Excess Deferrals for
a Plan Year distributable to the Employee by the amount of Excess
Contributions if any, previously distributed to the Employee with
respect to the Plan Year for which such Excess Deferrals and Excess
Contributions were made.
Page 78
(d) Income or loss attributable to Excess Deferrals, shall be determined in
a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner which reasonably reflects the
manner used by the Plan to allocate income to Participants' Accounts.
13.3 COORDINATION WITH OTHER ARRANGEMENTS IN WHICH SALARY IS DEFERRED.
If an Employee participates in another plan under which he or she makes
elective deferrals pursuant to a Code Section 401(k) arrangement,
elective deferrals under a simplified employee pension, or salary
reduction contributions to a tax-sheltered annuity, he or she may
submit a written claim to the Plan Administrator for Excess Deferrals
made to this Plan with respect to the calendar year. Any such claim
must be submitted by the Employee no later than the March 1st following
the close of the particular calendar year in which such elective
deferrals were made and must specify the amount of the Employee's
Pre-tax Contributions under this Plan which are Excess Deferrals. If
the Plan Administrator receives a timely claim, it shall distribute the
Excess Deferrals the Employee has assigned to this Plan (as adjusted
for allocable income or loss), in accordance with Section 13.2.
Page 79
ARTICLE XIV - NONDISCRIMINATION RULES
14.1 DEFINITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE NONDISCRIMINATION RULES.
For purposes of this Article XIV, the following terms when capitalized
and used in this Article XIV shall have the meaning ascribed to them in
this Section 14.1.
(a) "Actual Contribution Percentage" means the ratio (expressed as
------------------------------
a percentage), of the sum of the After-tax Contributions made
by a Participant and the Matching Contributions made on behalf
of an Eligible Employee for the Plan Year to the Eligible
Employee's Compensation for the Plan Year.
(b) "Actual Deferral Percentage" means the ratio (expressed as a
---------------------------
percentage) of Pre-tax Contributions made on behalf of an
Eligible Employee for the Plan Year to the Eligible Employee's
Compensation for the Plan Year.
A Non-highly Compensated Employee's Actual Deferral Percentage
does not include elective deferrals made to this Plan or to
any other Plan maintained by the Employer, to the extent such
Pre-tax Contributions exceed the limitation on Pre-tax
Contributions set forth in Article XIII.
(c) "Average Actual Deferral Percentage" means, for any group of
-----------------------------------
Eligible Employees who are Participants or eligible to be
Participants, the average (expressed as a percentage) of the
Actual Deferral Percentages for each of the Eligible Employees
in that group, including those for whom no Pre-tax
Contributions were made.
Page 80
(d) "Average Actual Contribution Percentage" means, for any group
--------------------------------------
of Eligible Employees who are Participants or eligible to be
Participants, the average (expressed as a percentage) of the
Actual Contribution Percentages for each of the Eligible
Employees in that group, including those who made no After-tax
Contributions and for whom no Matching Contributions were
made.
14.2 ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE TEST.
(a) With respect to each Plan Year, the Average Actual Deferral Percentage
for Eligible Employees who are Participants or eligible to be
Participants must satisfy one of the following tests:
(i) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year for
Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible
to be Participants for the Plan Year shall not exceed the
Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the preceding Plan Year
for Non-highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or
eligible to be Participants for the preceding Plan Year
multiplied by 1.25; or
(ii) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the Plan Year for
Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible
to be Participants for the Plan Year shall not exceed the
Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the preceding Plan Year
for Non-highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or
eligible to be Participants for the preceding Plan Year
multiplied by 2; provided that the Average Actual Deferral
Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees does not
exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for such
Non-highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage
points.
Page 81
Notwithstanding the above, (a) for the 1998 Plan Year, the Employer
elected to use the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for Non-highly
Compensated Employees for the 1998 Plan Year rather than the preceding
Plan Year, and (b) for any Plan Year subsequent to the 1998 Plan Year,
the Employer may elect to use the Average Actual Deferral Percentage
for Non-highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year being tested
rather than the preceding Plan Year provided such election must be
evidenced by a Plan amendment and once made may not be changed except
as provided by the Secretary of the Treasury.
14.3 MORE THAN ONE EMPLOYER-SPONSORED PLAN SUBJECT TO THE ACTUAL DEFERRAL
PERCENTAGE TEST.
For purposes of this Article XIV, the Actual Deferral Percentage for
any Highly Compensated Employee who is a participant under two or more
arrangements described in Code Section 401(k) sponsored by any employer
within the PepsiCo Organization shall be determined as if all such
arrangements (other than arrangements that may not be aggregated under
applicable regulations) were one Code Section 401(k) arrangement. If
the Code Section 401(k) arrangements in which the Highly Compensated
Employee participates have different plan years, the aggregate Actual
Deferral Percentage shall be determined by counting the deferrals made
to such arrangements in the plan years ending in the same calendar
year.
Page 82
14.4 RECHARACTERIZATION OF PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTIONS.
If Excess Contributions have been made on behalf of a Highly
Compensated Employee for the Plan Year, the Plan Administrator may
recharacterize the Excess Contributions as After-tax Contributions (or
voluntary contributions under another qualified plan if such plan has
the same plan year), provided such recharacterization occurs within
2-1/2 months of the Plan Year being tested. All such recharacterized
Contributions shall be subject to the same requirements and limitations
that apply to Pre-tax Contributions hereunder, in accordance with the
rules set forth in Code Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1(f)(3)(ii), including
all distribution limitations, vesting requirements, funding
requirements, contribution limitations and top-heavy rules. The Plan
Administrator may not include Pre-tax Contributions (or other elective
deferrals) in the Actual Contribution Percentage test, unless the Plan
which includes the Pre-tax Contributions (or other elective deferrals)
satisfies the Actual Deferral Percentage test both with and without the
recharacterized Excess Deferrals included in the Actual Contribution
Percentage test.
14.5 TREATMENT OF EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Excess Contributions (adjusted for allocable income or loss) which are
not recharacterized in accordance with Section 14.4 shall be
distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Employee no later
than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year in which such Excess
Contribution arose. To the extent administratively possible, Excess
Contributions shall be distributed within 2-1/2 months after the close
of the Plan Year in which such Excess Contributions arose, so as to
avoid the imposition of an excise tax.
Page 83
(b) The income (or loss) allocable to Excess Contributions shall be
determined by using a uniform and nondiscriminatory method which
reasonably reflects the manner used by the Plan to allocate earnings or
losses to Participants' Accounts.
14.6 QNECS AND QMACS.
The Plan Administrator may determine the Actual Deferral Percentages of
Eligible Employees by taking into account QNECs or QMACs and may
determine the Actual Contribution Percentages of Eligible Employees by
taking into account QNECs (other than QNECs used in the Actual Deferral
Percentage test) made to this Plan or to any other qualified Plan
maintained by the Employer provided that each of the following
requirements are met:
(a) The amount of Nonelective Contributions, including those QNECs
treated as Pre-tax Contributions for purposes of the Actual
Deferral Percentage Test, satisfies Code Section 401(a)(4).
(b) The amount of Nonelective Contributions, including those QNECs
treated as Pre-tax Contributions for purposes of the Actual
Deferral Percentage Test and those QNECs treated as Matching
Contributions for purposes of the Actual Contribution Test,
satisfies Code Section 401(a)(4).
(c) The Matching Contributions, including those QMACs treated as
Pre-tax Contributions for purposes of the Actual Deferral
Percentage Test, satisfy the requirements of Code Section
401(a)(4).
Page 84
(d) The QNECs and QMACs are (i) allocated to the QNECs Account and
QMACs Account, respectively, of Eligible Employees who are
Participants as of a date within the Plan Year; (ii) not
contingent upon the Eligible Employee's continued
participation in the Plan subsequent to the date of the
allocation; and (iii) made to the Trust no later than the 12
month period immediately following the Plan Year to which such
contribution relates.
(e) The Plan Administrator may not include in the Actual Deferral
Percentage test any QNECs or QMACs under another qualified
plan unless that plan has the same plan year as this Plan.
(f) If, pursuant to this Section, the Plan Administrator has
elected to include QMACs and/or QNECs in calculating the
Average Actual Deferral Percentage, the Plan Administrator
shall first treat Excess Contributions as attributable
proportionately to Pre-tax Contributions and to QMACs
allocated on the basis of those Pre-tax Contributions, if any.
If the total amount of a Highly Compensated Employee's Excess
Contributions for the Plan Year exceeds the Employee's Pre-tax
Contributions and QMACs attributable to such contributions, if
any, for the Plan Year, the Plan Administrator shall next
treat the remaining portion of his Excess Contributions as
attributable to QNECs, if any.
(g) The Plan Administrator shall reduce the amount of Excess
Contributions for a Plan Year distributable to a Highly
Compensated Employee by the amount of Excess Deferrals if any,
previously distributed to that Employee for the Employee's
taxable year ending in that Plan Year.
Page 85
14.7 ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE TEST.
With respect to each Plan Year, the Average Actual Contribution
Percentage for Eligible Employees who are Participants or eligible to
be Participants must satisfy one of the following tests:
(a) The Average Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year
for Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or
eligible to be Participants for the Plan Year shall not exceed
the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for the preceding
Plan Year for Non-highly Compensated Employees who are
Participants or eligible to be Participants for the preceding
Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or
(b) The Average Actual Contribution Percentage for the Plan Year
for Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or
eligible to be Participants for the Plan Year shall not exceed
the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for the preceding
Plan Year for Non-highly Compensated Employees who are
Participants or eligible to be Participants for the preceding
Plan Year multiplied by 2; provided that the Average Actual
Contribution Percentage for such Highly Compensated Employees
does not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for
such Non-highly Compensated Employees by more than two
percentage points.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) for the 1998 Plan Year, the
Employer elected to use the Average Actual Contribution
Percentage for Non-highly Compensated Employees for the 1998
Plan Year rather than the preceding Plan Year, and (b) for any
Page 86
Plan Year subsequent to the 1998 Plan Year, the Employer may
elect to use the Average Actual Contribution Percentage for
Non-highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year being
tested rather than the preceding Plan Year provided that such
election once made must be evidenced by a Plan amendment and
may not be changed except as provided by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
14.8 MORE THAN ONE PLAN SUBJECT TO THE ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION TEST.
For purposes of this Article XIV, the Actual Contribution Percentage
for any Highly Compensated Employee who is a participant under two or
more arrangements sponsored by any employer within the PepsiCo
Organization to which matching contributions (other than qualified
matching contributions) or Employee contributions are made shall be
determined as if all such arrangements (other than arrangements that
may not be aggregated under applicable regulations) were one such
arrangement. If the arrangements in which such Highly Compensated
Employee participates have different plan years, the aggregate Actual
Contribution Percentage shall be determined by counting the matching
contributions and Employee contributions made to such arrangements in
the plan years ending in the same calendar year.
14.9 REQUIRED PLAN AGGREGATION FOR PURPOSES OF THE ACTUAL DEFERRAL
PERCENTAGE AND ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION TESTS.
If the Employer treats two or more plans as a unit for coverage or
nondiscrimination purposes, the Employer must combine the Code Section
401(k) arrangements for purposes of determining whether each such
arrangement satisfies the Actual Deferral Percentage test and must
combine the arrangements under which matching contributions or Employee
Page 87
contributions are made; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that aggregation shall not
be required with respect to arrangements within plans with different
plan years; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that an employee stock ownership
plan (or the employee stock ownership plan portion of a plan) shall not
be aggregated with a non-employee stock ownership plan (or non-employee
stock ownership plan portion of a plan).
14.10 REQUIRED PLAN DISAGGREGATION FOR PURPOSES OF THE ACTUAL DEFERRAL
PERCENTAGE AND ACTUAL CONTRIBUTION TESTS.
If the Employer operates qualified separate lines of business under
Code Section 414(r), then to the extent required by law the Employer
will disaggregate the Code Section 401(k) arrangements for each
Separate Line of Business for purposes of determining whether each such
arrangement satisfies the Actual Deferral Percentage Test and will
disaggregate the arrangements under which matching contributions or
employee contributions are made with respect to each such Separate Line
of Business.
14.11 TREATMENT OF EXCESS AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Excess Aggregate Contributions plus any income and minus any loss
allocable thereto, which are not recharacterized in accordance with
Section 14.4 shall be distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated
Employee no later than 12 months after the close of the Plan Year in
which such Excess Aggregate Contribution arose. To the extent
administratively possible, Excess Aggregate Contributions shall be
distributed within 2-1/2 months after the close of the Plan Year in
which such Excess Contributions arose, so as to avoid an excise tax.
Page 88
(b) The income (or loss) allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions shall
be determined by using a uniform and nondiscriminatory method which
reasonably reflects the manner used by the Plan to allocate income to
Participants' Accounts.
(c) The Plan Administrator shall treat a Highly Compensated Employee's
allocable share of Excess Aggregate Contributions in the following
priority: (1) First, as After-tax Contributions; (2) Then, as Matching
Contributions allocable to Excess Contributions determined under the
Actual Deferral Percentage test; (3) Then, on a pro rata basis, as
Matching Contributions and as the Pre-tax Contributions relating to
those Matching Contributions which the Plan Administrator has included
in the Actual Contribution Percentage test, if any; and (4) Last, as
QNECs used in the Actual Contribution Percentage test.
(d) To the extent the Highly Compensated Employee's Excess Aggregate
Contributions are attributable to Matching Contributions, with respect
to which the Highly Compensated Employee is not 100% vested, the Plan
Administrator shall distribute only the vested portion and forfeit the
nonvested portion. The vested portion of the Highly Compensated
Employee's Excess Aggregate Contributions attributable to Matching
Contributions is the total amount of such Excess Aggregate
Contributions (as adjusted for allocable income or loss) multiplied by
his or vested percentage (determined as of the last day of the Plan
Year for which the Matching Contributions were made). The Plan shall
allocate forfeited Excess Aggregate Contributions to reduce Employer
Matching Contributions for the Plan Year in which such
forfeiture occurs.
Page 89
14.12 MULTIPLE USE LIMITATION.
If both the Average Actual Deferral Percentage of Highly Compensated
Employees exceeds 125% of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage of
Non-highly Compensated Employees pursuant to Section 14.2 and the
Average Actual Contribution Percentage of Highly Compensated Employees
exceeds 125% of the Average Actual Contribution Percentage of
Non-highly Compensated Employees pursuant to Section 14.7, then the sum
of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage and the Average Actual
Contribution Percentage shall not exceed the greater of:
(a) The sum of (i) 125% of the greater of the Average Actual
Deferral Percentage or the Average Actual Contribution
Percentage for all Non-highly Compensated Employees who are
Participants or eligible to be Participants, and (ii) the
lesser of 200% of, or two percentage points plus, the lesser
of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage or the Average
Actual Contribution Percentage of the Non-highly Compensated
Employees who are Participants or eligible to be Participants;
or
(b) The sum of (i) 125% of the lesser of the Average Actual
Deferral Percentage or the Average Contribution Percentage for
all Non-highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or
eligible to be Participants, and (ii) the lesser of 200% of,
or two percentage points plus, the greater of the Average
Actual Deferral Percentage or the Average Actual Contribution
Percentage for such Non-highly Compensated Employees.
Page 90
For purposes of this Section 14.12, the Average Actual Deferral
Percentage and Average Actual Contribution Percentage for a Plan Year
shall be the percentages determined under Section 14.2 or 14.7, as
applicable, for such year.
If, after applying the multiple use limitation of this Section, the
Plan Administrator determines the Plan has failed to satisfy the
multiple use limitation, the Plan Administrator shall correct the
failure by distributing the excess amount as Excess Aggregate
Contributions under Section 14.5. The Plan Administrator shall reduce
the Actual Contribution Percentages for only those Highly Compensated
Employees who are eligible to make both Pre-tax Contributions and
After-tax Contributions.
Page 91
ARTICLE XV - CODE SECTION 415 LIMITATION
15.1 DEFINITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE CODE SECTION 415 LIMITATION.
For purposes of this Article XV, the following terms when capitalized
and used in this Article XV shall have the meaning ascribed to them in
this Section 15.1.
(a) "Annual Additions" means the sum credited to a Participant for
----------------
any Limitation Year of (i) Employer contributions, (ii)
Employee contributions, (iii) forfeitures, (iv) for purposes
of Section 15.2(a)(2) only, amounts allocated to an individual
medical account (as defined in Code Section 415(l)(2)), which
is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by any 415
Affiliate and (v) for purposes of Section 15.2(a)(2) only,
amounts derived from contributions that are attributable to
post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate
account of a key employee (as defined in Code Section
419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit fund (as defined in Code
Section 419(e)) maintained by any 415 Affiliate. The term
Annual Additions shall not include Rollover Contributions made
to the Plan or amounts restored or repaid to the Plan in
accordance with Code Sections 411(a)(7)(B) and (C) and Article
V of the Plan. Except to the extent provided in the Code and
Treasury regulations, Annual Additions include Excess
Contributions, Excess Aggregate Contributions, regardless of
whether the Plan distributes or forfeits such excess amounts.
Excess Deferrals are not Annual Additions unless distributed
after the April 15th following the Plan Year in which such
Excess Deferrals were made.
(b) "Defined Benefit Plan" means any plan of the type defined in
----------------------
Code Section 414(j) maintained by any 415 Affiliate which is
described in Code Section 415(k)(1).
Page 92
(c) "Defined Benefit Plan Fraction" means, for any Participant a
------------------------------
fraction (determined as of the last day of the Limitation
Year), the numerator of which is the Projected Annual Benefit
of the Participant (under all Defined Benefit Plans, whether
or not terminated), and the denominator of which is the lesser
of:
(i) 1.25 multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect
under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A) for such Limitation
Year; or
(ii) 1.4 multiplied by 100% of Participant's average 415
Compensation for the three consecutive calendar Years
of Service (or all of the Participant's Years of
Service, if the Participant has less than three Years
of Service) during which the Participant had the
highest aggregate 415 Compensation.
If the Participant accrued benefits in one or more Defined
Benefit Plans which were in existence on May 5, 1986, the
dollar limitation used in the denominator of this fraction
shall not be less than the sum of the annual benefits under
such Defined Benefit Plans which the Participant had accrued
as of the end of the 1986 Limitation Year, determined without
regard to any change in the terms or conditions of the Plan
made after May 5, 1986, and without regard to any cost of
living adjustment occurring after May 5, 1986. This rule
applies only if the Defined Benefit Plans individually and in
the aggregate satisfied the requirements of Code Section 415
as in effect at the end of the 1986 Limitation Year.
(d) "Defined Contribution Plan" Means any plan of the type defined
-------------------------
in Code Section 414(i) maintained by any 415 Affiliate which
is described in Code Section 415(k)(1).
Page 93
(e) "Defined Contribution Plan Fraction" means, for any
----------------------------------------
Participant, a fraction, determined as of the last day of the
Limitation Year and for all prior years, the numerator of
which is the sum of the Annual Additions credited to the
Participant under all Defined Contribution Plans (whether or
not terminated), and the denominator of which is the sum of
the lesser of the following amounts determined for the current
Limitation Year and for each of the Participant's prior Years
of Service
(i) 1.25 multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect
under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) for such Limitation
Year; or
(ii) 1.4 multiplied by 25% of Participant's 415
Compensation.
For purposes of determining the Defined Contribution Plan
Fraction, the Plan Administrator shall not recompute Annual
Additions in Limitation Years beginning prior to January 1,
1987. The Plan continues any transitional rules applicable to
the determination of the defined contribution plan fraction
under the Employer's Plan as of the end of the 1986 Limitation
Year.
(f) "415 Affiliate" means a member of the PepsiCo Organization, as
-------------
defined in Section 1.42; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for purposes
of determining whether a corporation is a member of a
"controlled group of corporations" (within the meaning of Code
Section 414(b) of which the Company is also a member) the
phrase "more than 50 percent" shall be substituted for the
phrase "at least 80 percent" wherever the latter phrase
appears in Code Section 1563(a)(1).
Page 94
(g) "415 Compensation" means Compensation, but excluding for
-----------------
Limitation Years commencing prior to January 1, 1998, elective
contributions that are made by an Employer that are not
includible in gross income under Code Sections 125 and
402(e)(3).
(h) "Limitation Year" means the Plan Year.
---------------
(i) "Projected Annual Benefit" means the Participant's annual
--------------------------
benefit under a Defined Benefit Plan payable in the form of a
single life annuity computed in the assumptions (i) that the
Participant will remain employed until the Participant's
"normal retirement age" under the applicable plan (or, if
later, his or her current age), and (ii) that the
Participant's 415 Compensation will remain at its current
level until that time.
15.2 CODE SECTION 415 LIMITATION ON ANNUAL ADDITIONS.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Annual
Additions credited under the Plan and all other Defined Contribution
Plans maintained by any 415 Affiliate with respect to each Participant
for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of:
(i) $30,000, as adjusted from time to time for cost of living in
accordance with Code Section 415(d), or
(ii) 25% of the Participant's 415 Compensation for such Limitation
Year.
(b) If the Plan Administrator determines during a Plan Year that a
Participant will likely exceed the limit imposed by Section 15.2(a)
(assuming that a Participant's Contribution Election remains in effect
Page 95
for the remainder of the Limitation Year, and based on the Plan
Administrator's estimate of a Participant's 415 Compensation for the
Limitation Year), the Plan Administrator may adjust the Participant's
Annual Additions and take the following actions in the following order
of priority:
(i) Reduce or eliminate the Participant's unmatched After-tax
Contributions;
(ii) Reduce or eliminate the Participant's unmatched Pre-tax
Contributions;
(iii) Reduce or eliminate the Participant's matched After-tax
Contributions and corresponding Matching Contributions; and
(iv) Reduce or eliminate the Participant's matched Pre-tax
Contributions and any corresponding Matching Contributions.
If an allocation of Employer contributions would result in an Excess
Annual Addition to the Participant's Account (other than an Excess
Annual Addition which results from the application of the
nondiscrimination rules under Article XIV), the Plan Administrator may
reallocate the Excess Annual Addition to the remaining Participants who
are eligible for an allocation of Employer contributions for the Plan
Year in which the Limitation Year ends. The Plan Administrator shall
reallocate the Excess Annual Additions pursuant to the allocation
method under the Plan as if the Participant whose Account otherwise
would receive such Excess Annual Addition were not eligible for an
allocation of Employer contributions. As soon as administratively
feasible after the end of the Plan Year, the Plan Administrator shall
determine the actual limit which should have applied to the Participant
under Section 15.2(a) based on the Participant's actual 415
Compensation for such Limitation Year.
Page 96
If after the end of a Plan Year, the Plan Administrator determines that
the Annual Additions credited under the Plan with respect to a
Participant for any Limitation Year exceed the limitations of Section
15.2(a) as a result of (i) the allocation of forfeitures, (ii) a
reasonable error in estimating the Participant's 415 Compensation for
the Limitation Year, (iii) a reasonable error in determining the amount
of Pre-tax Contributions that the Participant may contribute or (iv)
any other circumstance permitted pursuant to the regulations and
rulings promulgated under Code Section 415, then the amount of
contributions credited to the Participant's Accounts in that Plan Year
shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to satisfy that limitation in
accordance with the following order of priority:
(i) The Participant's unmatched After-tax Contributions shall be
reduced to the extent necessary. The amount of the reduction
shall be returned to the Participant, together with any
earnings on the contributions to be returned.
(ii) The Participant's unmatched Pre-tax Contributions shall be
reduced to the extent necessary. The amount of the reduction
shall be returned to the Participant, together with any
earnings on the contributions to be returned.
(iii) The Participant's matched After-tax Contributions and
corresponding Matching Contributions shall be reduced to the
extent necessary. The amount of the reduction attributable to
the Participant's matched After-tax Contributions shall be
returned to the Participant, together with any earnings on
those contributions to be returned. The amount attributable to
the Matching Contributions shall be forfeited and used to
reduce Employer contributions for the Participant for the next
Limitation Year (and succeeding Limitation Years, as
necessary) if the Participant is covered by the Plan at the
Page 97
end of the Limitation Year. If the Participant is not covered
by the Plan as of the end of the Limitation Year, then the
excess Annual Additions shall be held unallocated in a
suspense account for the Limitation Year and allocated and
reallocated in the next Limitation Year to all of the
remaining Participants entitled to allocation of
Contributions, but only to the extent that such allocation or
reallocation would not cause the Annual Additions to such
Participants to violate the limitations of Code Section 415
for such Limitation Year. If a suspense account is in
existence at any time during a Limitation Year, all amounts in
the suspense account must be allocated or reallocated before
any Employer contributions or Employee contributions which
would constitute Annual Additions may be made to the Plan for
the Limitation Year (and succeeding Limitation Years, as
necessary) in accordance with the rules set forth in Prop.
Reg. Section 1.415-6(b)(6)(i). If a suspense account is in
effect, it shall not share in investment gains or losses.
(iv) The Participant's matched Pre-tax Contributions and
corresponding Matching Contributions shall be reduced to the
extent necessary. The amount of the reduction attributable to
the Participant's matched Pre-tax Contributions shall be
returned to the Participant, together with any earnings on
those contributions to be returned. The amount attributable to
the Matching Contributions shall be forfeited and applied in
the same manner as Matching Contributions under clause (iii)
above.
Page 98
(c) If a Participant also participates in any other Defined Contribution
Plan which is subject to the limitation set forth in Section 15.2(a)
above and, as a result, such limitation would be exceeded with respect
to the Participant in any Limitation Year, any reduction or other
permissible method necessary to ensure compliance with such limitation
first shall be made under this Plan in accordance with the terms
hereof. If after such correction a further reduction is necessary to
ensure that the limitation set forth in Section 15.2(a) is not
exceeded, Annual Additions credited under such other plan or plans with
respect to the Participant shall be reduced in accordance with the
provisions of such plan or plans.
(d) If a Participant is also a participant in a Defined Benefit Plan, then
the Annual Additions credited with respect to the Participant in any
Limitation Year shall be limited as provided in Section 15.3 below.
(e) The determination of whether the Plan satisfies the requirements of
this Section 15.2 with respect to a Participant shall be made in
accordance with Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder, the
provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference and shall
override the provisions of the Plan to the extent inconsistent
therewith.
15.3 COMBINED CODE SECTION 415 LIMITATION.
(a) If a Participant is also a participant in a Defined Benefit Plan, the
sum of the Participant's Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and Defined
Contribution Plan Fraction for any Limitation Year commencing before
January 1, 2000 shall not exceed 1.0.
(b) In the event that a reduction is required to insure that the sum of the
above fractions with respect to a Participant in any Limitation Year
does not exceed 1.0, such reduction shall be made by reducing the
Participant's annual benefit under the Defined Benefit Plan.
Page 99
(c) The Plan Administrator shall redetermine the Defined Contribution Plan
Fraction and the Defined Benefit Plan fraction as of the end of the
1986 Limitation Year, in accordance with this Section. If the sum of
the redetermined fractions exceeds 1.0, the Plan Administrator shall
permanently subtract from the numerator of the Defined Contribution
Plan Fraction an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess of the
sum of the fractions over 1.0, times (2) the denominator of the defined
contribution plan fraction. In making the adjustment, the Plan
Administrator shall disregard any accrued benefit under the Defined
Benefit Plan which is in excess of the participant's accrued benefit
under the Defined Benefit Plan as of the end of the 1986 Limitation
Year.
(d) The provisions of this Section 15.3 shall cease to be effective on and
after January 1, 2000.
15.4 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XV to the contrary,
the determination of whether the Plan satisfies the requirements of
Article XV shall be made in accordance with Code Section 415 and the
regulations thereunder, as may be amended, the provisions of which are
hereby incorporated by reference and shall override the provisions of
the Plan to the extent inconsistent therewith. In addition, the Plan
Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine the amounts
required to be taken into account under Article XV by such alternative
methods as shall be permitted under applicable regulations or rulings.

(f) "Participant" includes an Eligible Employee of the Plan who
-----------
does not participate in the Plan.
Page 102
(g) "Permissive Aggregation Group" means each plan in the Required
----------------------------
Aggregation Group and any other qualified plan or plans
maintained by an employer within the PepsiCo Organization if
such group of plans, when considered together, would meet the
requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410.
(h) "Required Aggregation Group" means, with respect to a Plan
----------------------------
Year for which a determination is being made, (i) this Plan,
(ii) each other qualified plan of an employer within the
PepsiCo Organization in which at least one Key Employee is a
participant, and (iii) any other qualified plan of an employer

described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above to meet the
requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410.
(i) "Top Heavy Plan" means the Plan, if any of the following
----------------
conditions exists:
(1) The Top Heavy Ratio for the Plan exceeds 60% and the
Plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group or

(j) "Top Heavy Ratio" means, with respect to the plans taken into
---------------
consideration, a fraction, the numerator of which is the
present value of the accrued benefits for all Key Employees
under the Defined Benefit Plans of the Aggregation Group as of
Page 103
the Determination Date for each plan plus the sum of account
balances for all Key Employees under the Defined Contribution
Plans of the Aggregation Group, in each case as of the
respective Determination Date (including any part of any
accrued benefit or account balance distributed in the
five-year period ending on the Determination Date), and the
denominator of which is the sum of the present value of all
accrued benefits for all Non-Key Employees under the Defined
Benefit Plans of the Aggregation Group plus the sum of all
account balances of all Non-Key Employees under Defined
Contribution Plans of the Aggregation Group, in each case as
of the respective Determination Date for each plan (including
any part of any accrued benefit or account balance distributed
in the five-year period ending on the Determination Date), all
determined in accordance with Code Section 416.
For purposes of this definition:
The accrued benefit and account balances of Key Employees under plans
that terminated within the 5 year period ending on the Determination
Date (including amounts which were distributed during such period) are
taken into account for purposes of determining the Top Heavy Ratio.
The account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant (1) who is
not a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (2)
who has not been credited with at least one Hour of Service at any time
during the five-year period ending on the Determination Date, shall be
disregarded.
Page 104
Generally, the Plan Administrator shall calculate the present value of
accrued benefits under Defined Benefit Plans or simplified employee
pension plans included within the group in accordance with the terms of
those plans and Code Section 416. If a Participant in a defined benefit
plan is a Non-Key Employee, however, the Plan Administrator shall
determine such Non-Key Employee's Accrued Benefit under the accrual
method, if any, which is applicable uniformly to all Defined Benefit
Plans or, if there is no uniform method, in accordance with the slowest
accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule accrual method
described in Code Section 411(b)(1)(C).
To calculate the present value of benefits under a Defined Benefit
Plan, the Plan Administrator shall use the interest and mortality
assumptions prescribed by the Defined Benefit Plans to value benefits
for top heavy purposes.
If an aggregated plan does not have a valuation date coinciding with
the Determination Date, the Plan Administrator shall value the accrued
benefit or account balance under such aggregated plan as of the most
recent valuation date falling within the twelve-month period ending on
the Determination Date, except as Code Section 416 and applicable
Treasury regulations require for the first and second plan year of a
Defined Benefit Plan.
The Plan Administrator shall calculate the value of account balances
and accrued benefits with reference to the Determination Dates for the
respective aggregated plans that fall within the same calendar year.
Page 105
16.2 APPLICATION OF ARTICLE XVI.
If the Plan is determined to be a Top Heavy Plan as of any
Determination Date, then it shall be subject to the rules set forth in
the balance of this Article XVI, beginning with the first Plan Year
commencing after such Determination Date.
16.3 MINIMUM VESTING.
(a) If the Plan is determined to be a Top Heavy Plan for a Plan Year, then
with respect to each Participant who completes an Hour of Service
during such Plan Year, such Participant's vested interest in his
Account, determined at any time that the Plan continues to be a Top
Heavy Plan, shall be no less than as determined under the following
table:
Years of Vesting Service Vested Percentage
------------------------ -----------------
Less than 3 years 0%
3 years or more 100%
(b) If the Plan subsequently is determined to no longer be a Top Heavy
Plan, then the above minimum vesting schedule shall not apply to any
portion of a Participant's Account which is accrued on or after the
first day of the first Plan Year in which the Plan is no longer a Top
Heavy Plan, provided that any Participant with three or more Years of
Vesting Service as of the first date on which the Plan is no longer a
Top Heavy Plan may elect to continue to be vested in accordance with
the above minimum vesting schedule during the period that the Plan is
not a Top Heavy Plan.
Page 106
16.4 MINIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section, if the Plan is determined to
be a Top Heavy Plan for a Plan Year, minimum Employer contributions
(including forfeitures but excluding any Pre-Tax Contributions and any
Employer Matching Contributions necessary to satisfy the
nondiscrimination requirements of Code Section 401(k) or of Code
Section 401(m)) shall be made on behalf of each Participant who has not
Separated from Service as of the end of the Plan Year and who is not a
Key Employee, of not less than the lesser of the following percentage
of the Key Employee's 415 Compensation for the Plan Year, as defined in
Section 15.1(g):
(i) 3%, or
(ii) the highest percentage of Employer contributions (including
forfeitures and amounts contributed pursuant to a salary
reduction agreement) made under the Plan for the Plan Year on
behalf of a Key Employee.
However, if a Defined Benefit Plan which benefits a Key Employee
depends on this Plan to satisfy the nondiscrimination rules of Code
Section 401(a)(4) or the coverage rules of Code Section 410 (or another
plan benefiting the Key Employee so depends on such defined benefit
plan), the allocation is 3% of the Non-Key Employee's Compensation for
the Plan Year regardless of the contribution rate for the Key
Employees.
(b) If, for Plan Year, there are no allocations of Employer contributions,
forfeitures or Pre-tax Contributions for any Key Employee to the Plan,
no minimum allocation shall be required with respect to the Plan Year,
except as otherwise may be required because of another plan in the
Aggregation Group.
Page 107
(c) The minimum allocation required under this Section 16.4 shall be made
after Employer contributions and forfeitures are made.
(d) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, for a Plan Year, a Participant
covered under this Plan, which is determined to be Top Heavy, and a Top
Heavy defined benefit plan, shall receive the defined benefit minimum
from the Top Heavy defined benefit plan.
Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, for a Plan Year, a Participant
covered under this Plan, which is determined to be Top Heavy, and
another Top Heavy defined contribution plan, shall receive the defined
contribution minimum from the other Top Heavy defined contribution
plan.
16.5 ADJUSTMENT TO COMBINED LIMITATION.
For any Plan Year in which the Plan is determined to be a Top Heavy
Plan, the provisions of Code Section 415(e) shall be applied by
substituting "1.0" for "1.25" wherever "1.25" applies therein.
