Terms and Conditions of Options. Each Option outstanding hereunder shall be in writing and shall contain the following terms and conditions:

Option Exercise Price. The Option Exercise Price shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date.

Term and Exercise Dates. Options granted hereunder shall have a term of no longer than ten years from the Grant Date and shall vest in accordance with the terms of their grant. A grant of Options may vest in installments, however, Stock Options must be exercised for full shares of Common Stock. To the extent that Stock Options are not exercised when they become initially exercisable, they shall be carried forward and be exercisable until the expiration of the term of such Stock Options, subject to the provisions of Sections 6(e) and (f) hereof.

Exercise of Option. To exercise an Option, the holder thereof shall give notice of his or her exercise to YUM, or its agent, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased and identifying the specific Options that are being exercised. From time to time the Committee may establish procedures relating to effecting such exercises. No fractional shares shall be issued as a result of exercising an Option. An Option is exercisable during an Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee, provided, however, that in the event the Optionee is incapacitated and unable to exercise Options, such Options may be exercised by such Optionee’s legal guardian, legal representative, fiduciary or other representative whom the Committee deems appropriate based on applicable facts and circumstances.

Payment of Option Exercise Price. The Option Exercise Price for the Options being exercised must be paid in full at time of issuance of the Common Stock. In addition, in order to enable the Company to meet any applicable foreign, federal (including FICA), state and local withholding tax requirements, an Optionee shall also be required to pay the amount of tax to be withheld at the time of exercise. No share of Stock will be delivered to any Optionee until all such amounts have been paid.

Effect of Termination of Employment, Disability or Death. No Option may be exercised by an Optionee after the termination of his or her employment with the Company, except that: (i) if such termination occurs by reason of the Optionee’s death, all Options then held by the Optionee shall become immediately exercisable as of the date of death and may be exercised by such Optionee’s executor (or, if none, his or her legal representative) until the expiration of such Options in accordance with their terms; (ii) if such termination occurs by reason of the Optionee’s becoming Totally Disabled, all Options then held by the Optionee shall continue to become exercisable and be able to be exercised by the Optionee in accordance with their terms; (iii) if such termination occurs by reason of the Optionee’s Retirement, all Options then held by the Optionee shall become immediately exercisable as of the date of such Retirement and may be exercised by the Optionee until the expiration of such Options in accordance with their terms; and (iv) if such termination is voluntary by the employee or is by action of the Company (except as described in Section 6(f) hereof), all Options then held by the Optionee which are exercisable at the date of termination shall continue to be exercisable by the Optionee until the earlier of 90 days after such date or the expiration of such Options in accordance with their terms and all Options which are not exercisable at such date shall automatically terminate and lapse, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.

Misconduct. In the event that an Optionee has (i) used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, (ii) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to the Company, (iii) engaged in unlawful trading in the securities of YUM or of another company based on information gained as a result of that Optionee’s employment with the Company, or (iv) committed a felony or other serious crime, then that Optionee shall forfeit all rights to any unexercised Options granted under the Plan and all of that Optionee’s outstanding Options shall automatically terminate and lapse, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.

Nontransferability of Options. During an Optionee’s lifetime, his or her Options shall not be transferrable and shall only be exercisable by the Optionee and any purported transfer shall be null and void. No Option shall be transferrable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Amendment. The Committee may, at any time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, provided that no such action shall adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to any grants theretofore outstanding hereunder. The Committee may amend the terms and conditions of outstanding Options, provided, however, that (i) no such amendment shall be adverse to the holders of the Options, (ii) no such amendment shall extend the period for exercise of an Option, and (iii) the amended terms of the Option would be permitted under this Plan.

Foreign Employees. Without amending the Plan, the Committee may treat Options granted to eligible employees who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Plan as may in the judgment of the Committee be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws in other countries in which the Company operates or has employees.

Registration, Listing and Qualification of Shares. Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or qualification of the shares covered thereby upon any securities exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the purchase of shares thereunder, no such Option may be exercised unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any person exercising an Option shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements.

Buy Out of Option Gains. At any time after any Stock Option becomes exercisable, the Committee shall have the right to elect, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the holder thereof, to cancel such Option and to cause YUM to pay to the Optionee the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock covered by such Option over the Option Exercise Price of such Option at the date the Committee provides written notice (the “Buy Out Notice”) of its intention to exercise such right. Buy outs pursuant to this provision shall be effected by YUM as promptly as possible after the date of the Buy Out Notice. Payments of buy out amounts may be made in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or partly in cash and partly in Common Stock, as the Committee deems advisable. To the extent payment is made in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing the amount of the payment to be made by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the date of the Buy Out Notice. In no event shall YUM be required to deliver a fractional share of Common Stock in satisfaction of this buy out provision. Payments of any such buy out amounts shall be made net of any applicable foreign, federal (including FICA), state and local withholding taxes.

Adjustment for Change in Stock Subject to Plan. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, such equitable adjustments may be made in the Plan and the Options granted hereunder as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate, including, if necessary, an adjustment in the number of shares and Option Exercise Prices per share applicable to Options then outstanding and in the number of shares which are reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

No Rights to Options or Employment. No employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Option under the Plan. Having received an Option under the Plan shall not give an employee any right to receive any other grant under the Plan. An Optionee shall have no rights to or interest in any Option except as set forth herein. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

Rights as Shareholder. An Optionee under the Plan shall have no rights as a holder of Common Stock with respect to Options granted hereunder, unless and until certificates for shares of Common Stock are issued to such Optionee.

Other Actions. This Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Committee or of YUM, for proper corporate purposes, to grant or assume stock options, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any employee or other person.

Costs and Expenses. Except as provided in Sections 6 and 10 hereof with respect to taxes, the costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by YUM and shall not be charged to any grant nor to any employee receiving a grant.

Plan Unfunded. The Plan shall be unfunded. Except for reserving a sufficient number of authorized shares to the extent required by law to meet the requirements of the Plan, YUM shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the delivery of YUM Common Stock upon exercise of any Option granted under the Plan.

Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.

Effectiveness and Duration of the Plan. This Plan shall become effective at the beginning of October 7, 1997.
