Exhibit 10.4
STOCK OPTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Terms and Conditions along with the PepsiCo Stock Option Retention Award Summary (the
“Award Summary”) delivered herewith and signed by the individual named on the Award Summary (the
“Participant”) shall constitute an Agreement made as of the Grant Date (as indicated on the Award
Summary) by and between PepsiCo, Inc., a North Carolina corporation having its principal office at
000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (“PepsiCo,” and with its divisions and direct and
indirect subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the Participant.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors and shareholders of PepsiCo have approved the PepsiCo, Inc.
2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), for the purposes and subject to the provisions set
forth in the Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted to it in the Plan, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of PepsiCo (the “Committee”), by resolution duly adopted at a meeting held
on or prior to the Grant Date, authorized the grant to the Participant of the stock options set
forth on the Award Summary; and
WHEREAS, awards granted under the Plan are to be evidenced by an Agreement in such form and
containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows:
A. Terms and Conditions Applicable to Stock Options. These terms and conditions shall
apply with respect to the stock options granted to the Participant as indicated on the Award
Summary.
1. Grant. In consideration of the Participant remaining in the employ of the Company
and agreeing to be bound by the covenants of Paragraph B, PepsiCo hereby grants to the Participant,
on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the right and option to purchase the number of shares
of PepsiCo Common Stock, par value $.0167 per share, indicated on the Award Summary at the
Grant/Exercise Price per share indicated on the Award Summary (the “Option Exercise Price”), which
was the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of PepsiCo Common Stock on the Grant Date, rounded up
to the nearest one-fourth. The right to purchase each such share is referred to herein as an
“Option.” All Options granted hereunder shall be “Non-Qualified Stock Options” as defined in the
Plan.
2. Vesting and Exercisability. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the number of Options specified in the Award Summary shall become vested on each vesting date set
forth in the Award Summary (“Vesting Date”). The specified number of Options shall be exercisable
from the applicable Vesting Date through the expiration date set forth in the Award Summary (the
“Expiration Date”). Options may vest only while the Participant is actively employed by the
Company. Once vested and exercisable, and until terminated, all or any portion of the Options may
be exercised from time to time and at any time under procedures that the Committee or its delegate
shall establish from time to time, including, without limitation, procedures regarding the
frequency of exercise and the minimum number of Options which may be exercised at any time.
1
3. Exercise Procedure. Subject to terms and conditions set forth herein, Options may
be exercised by giving written notice of exercise to PepsiCo in the manner specified from time to
time by PepsiCo. The aggregate Option Exercise Price for the shares being purchased, together with
any amount which the Company may be required to withhold upon such exercise in respect of
applicable foreign, federal (including FICA), state and local taxes, must be paid in full at the
time of issuance of such shares.
4. Effect of Termination of Employment, Death, Retirement and Total Disability.
(a) Termination of Employment. Options may vest only while the Participant is actively
employed by the Company. Thus, no vesting shall occur following the termination of the
Participant’s active employment with the Company, and all unvested Options shall automatically be
forfeited and cancelled upon the date that the Participant’s active employment with the Company
terminates. Only vested Options may be exercised. Subject to subparagraphs 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d),
vested Options shall be exercisable until, and shall automatically be forfeited and cancelled upon,
the earlier of the Expiration Date and the date that is the last trading day on the New York Stock
Exchange during the 90-calendar day period after the date the Participant’s employment with the
Company terminates. It is intended that an authorized severance leave of absence may extend
employment for purposes of determining the period when vested Options may be exercised. However, an
authorized severance leave of absence will not be treated as active employment and, as a result,
vesting of unvested Options will not be extended by any such period.
(b) Death or Total Disability. If the Participant’s employment terminates, by reason
of the Participant’s death or Total Disability (as defined below), then: (i) a portion of the
Options shall vest on the Participant’s last day of active employment with the Company (which, for
purposes of Total Disability, means the effective date of Total Disability), with such portion
determined in proportion to the Participant’s active service (measured in calendar days) during the
period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date for the Options (determined
separately for the specified number of Options related to each Vesting Date); (ii) the Options
(that are vested as provided above) shall continue to become exercisable on the applicable Vesting
Date in accordance with this Agreement, with no change in the earliest date of exercise as a result
of the vesting provided by this subparagraph 4(b); and (iii) the Options (that are vested as
provided above) may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative (or any person to whom
the Options may be transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution), in the
event of death, or the Participant, in the event of Total Disability, in accordance with this
Agreement.
(c) Retirement. In the event that, prior to the expiration of the Options, the
Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company by reason of the Participant’s Retirement (as
defined below), then the Participant shall continue to be vested with and have the right to
exercise those Options which are vested and exercisable as of the Participant’s Retirement Date
until the Expiration Date in accordance with this Agreement. Any Options which are not vested as
of the Participant’s Retirement Date shall automatically expire and terminate on the Retirement
Date.
(d) Transfers to a Related Entity. In the event the Participant transfers to a Related
Entity (as defined below) as a result of actions by PepsiCo, the Options shall continue to vest and
to become exercisable after such transfer and shall remain outstanding and be exercisable in
accordance with this Agreement by treating the Participant’s employment with the Related Entity as
employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

B. Prohibited Conduct.
In consideration of the Company disclosing and providing access to Confidential Information,
as more fully described in Paragraph B.2 below, after the date hereof, the grant by the Company of
the Options, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Participant and the Company, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree
as follows.
1. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. The Participant hereby covenants and agrees
that at all times during his or her employment with the Company and for a period of twelve months
after the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever
(including a termination due to the Participant’s Retirement or Total Disability), he or she will
not, without the prior written consent of PepsiCo’s chief personnel officer or chief legal officer,
either directly or indirectly, for himself/herself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other
person, partnership, corporation or other entity, engage in any activities prohibited in the
following Paragraphs B.1(a) through (c):
(a) The Participant shall not, in any country in which the Company operates, accept any
employment, assignment, position or responsibility, or provide services in any capacity or acquire
any ownership interest which involves the Participant’s Participation in an entity that markets,
sells, distributes or produces Covered Products, unless such entity makes retail sales or consumes
Covered Products without in any way competing with the Company;
(b) With respect to Covered Products, the Participant shall not directly or indirectly solicit
for competitive business purposes any customer or Prospective Customer of the Company called on,
serviced by, or contacted by the Participant in any capacity during his or her employment; or
(c) The Participant shall not in any way, directly or indirectly (including through someone
else acting on the Participant’s recommendation, suggestion, identification or advice), solicit any
Company employee to leave the Company’s employment or to accept any position with any other entity.
2. Non-Disclosure. In order to assist the Participant with his or her duties, the
Company shall continue to provide the Participant with access to confidential and proprietary
operational information and other confidential information which is either information not known by
actual or potential competitors, customers and third parties of the Company or is proprietary
information of the Company (“Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information shall
include all non-public information the Participant acquired as a result of his or her positions
with the Company which might be of any value to a competitor of the Company, or which might cause
any economic loss or substantial embarrassment to the Company or its customers, bottlers,
distributors or suppliers if used or disclosed. Examples of such Confidential Information include,
without limitation, non-public information about the Company’s customers, suppliers, distributors
and potential acquisition targets; its business operations, structure and methods of operation; its
product lines, formulae and pricing; its processes, machines and inventions; its research and
know-how; its production techniques; its financial data; its advertising and promotional ideas and
strategy; information maintained in its computer systems; devices, processes, compilations of
information and records; and its plans and strategies. The Participant agrees that such
Confidential Information remains confidential even if committed to the Participant’s memory. The
Participant agrees, during the term of his or her employment and at all
3
times thereafter, not to use, divulge, or furnish or make accessible to any third party,
company, corporation or other organization (including but not limited to, customers, competitors,
or governmental agencies), without the Company’s prior written consent, any Confidential
Information of the Company, except as necessary in his or her position with the Company.
3. Return of Confidential Information and Company Property. The Participant agrees
that whenever the Participant’s employment with the Company ends for any reason, (a) all documents
containing or referring to the Company’s Confidential Information as may be in the Participant’s
possession, or over which the Participant may have control, and all other property of the Company
provided to the Participant by the Company during the course of the Participant’s employment with
the Company will be returned by the Participant to the Company immediately, with no request being
required; and (b) all Company computer and computer-related equipment and software, and all Company
property, files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, lists, equipment, and similar items
relating to the business of the Company, whether prepared by the Participant or otherwise, coming
into the Participant’s possession or control during the course of his employment shall remain the
exclusive property of the Company, and shall be delivered by the Participant to the Company
immediately, with no request being required.
4. Misconduct. The Participant shall not engage in any of the following acts that are
considered to be contrary to the Company’s best interests during the term of his or her employment
with the Company: (a) violating the Company’s Code of Conduct, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Policy or any other
written policies of the Company, (b) unlawfully trading in the securities of PepsiCo or of any
other company based on information gained as a result of his or her employment with the Company, or
(c) engaging in any activity which constitutes gross misconduct.
5. Reasonableness of Provisions. The Participant agrees that: (a) the terms and
provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and constitute an otherwise enforceable agreement to
which the terms and provisions of this Paragraph B are ancillary or a part of; (b) the
consideration provided by the Company under this Agreement is not illusory; (c) the restrictions
contained in this Paragraph B are necessary and reasonable for the protection of the legitimate
business interests and goodwill of the Company; and (d) the consideration given by the Company
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provision by the Company of Confidential
Information to the Participant, gives rise to the Company’s interest in the covenants set forth in
this Paragraph B.
6. Repayment and Forfeiture. The Participant specifically recognizes and affirms that
each of the covenants contained in Paragraphs B.1 through B.4 of this Agreement is a material and
important term of this Agreement which has induced the Company to provide for the award of the
Options granted hereunder, the disclosure of Confidential Information referenced herein, and the
other promises made by the Company herein. The Participant further agrees that in the event that
(i) the Company determines that the Participant has breached any term of Paragraphs B.1 through B.4
or (ii) all or any part of Paragraph B is held or found invalid or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between the Participant and the
Company, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity the Company may have available to
it, the Company may in its sole discretion:
(a) Cancel any unexercised Options granted hereunder; and
4
(b) Require the Participant to pay to the Company all gains realized from the exercise of any
Options granted hereunder.
7. Equitable Relief. In the event the Company determines that the Participant has
breached or attempted or threatened to breach any term of Paragraph B, in addition to any other
remedies at law or in equity the Company may have available to it, it is agreed that the Company
shall be entitled, upon application to any court of proper jurisdiction, to a temporary restraining
order or preliminary injunction (without the necessity of (a) proving irreparable harm, (b)
establishing that monetary damages are inadequate or (c) posting any bond with respect thereto)
against the Participant prohibiting such breach or attempted or threatened breach by proving only
the existence of such breach or attempted or threatened breach.
8. Extension of Restrictive Period. The Participant agrees that the period during
which the covenants contained in this Paragraph B shall be effective shall be computed by excluding
from such computation any time during which the Participant is in violation of any provision of
Paragraph B.
9. Acknowledgments. The Company and the Participant agree that it was their intent to
enter into a valid and enforceable agreement. The Participant and the Company thereby acknowledge
the reasonableness of the restrictions set forth in Paragraph B, including the reasonableness of
the geographic area, duration as to time and scope of activity restrained. The Participant further
acknowledges that his or her skills are such that he or she can be gainfully employed in
noncompetitive employment and that the agreement not to compete will not prevent him or her from
earning a living. The Participant agrees that if any covenant contained in Paragraph B of this
Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to contain limitations as to time,
geographical area, or scope of activity that are not reasonable and impose a greater restraint than
is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of the Company, then the court
shall reform the covenant to the extent necessary to cause the limitations contained in the
covenant as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained to be reasonable and
to impose a restraint that is not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill and other business
interests of the Company and to enforce the covenants as reformed.
10. Provisions Independent. The covenants on the part of the Participant in this
Paragraph B shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other agreement, including any
employee benefit agreement, and independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the
existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether
predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
the Company of such covenants.
11. Notification of Subsequent Employer. The Participant agrees that the Company may
notify any person or entity employing the Participant or evidencing an intention of employing the
Participant of the existence and provisions of this Agreement.
12. Transfers to a Related Entity. In the event the Participant transfers to a Related
Entity (as defined below) as a result of actions by PepsiCo, any reference to “Company” in this
Paragraph B shall be deemed to refer to such Related Entity in addition to the Company.
5
C. Additional Terms and Conditions.
1. Adjustment for Change in Common Stock. In the event of any change in the
outstanding shares of PepsiCo Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares,
spin-off or other similar corporate change, the number and type of shares which the Participant may
purchase pursuant to the Options and the Option Exercise Price at which the Participant may
purchase such shares shall be adjusted as may be, and to such extent (if any), determined to be
appropriate and equitable by the Committee.
2. Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in
the Plan), the following provisions shall apply:
(a) If the successor corporation (or affiliate thereto) (1) assumes the outstanding Options or
(2) replaces the outstanding Options with equity awards that preserve the existing value of such
Options at the time of the Change in Control and provide for subsequent payout in accordance with a
vesting schedule that is the same or more favorable to the Participant than the vesting schedule
applicable to such Options, then the outstanding Options or such substitutes thereof shall remain
outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provisions of the Plan, subject to
Paragraph C.2(c) below.
(b) If the outstanding Options granted hereunder are not assumed or replaced in accordance
with Paragraph C.2(a) above, then upon the Change in Control, (1) the outstanding Options granted
hereunder shall immediately vest and become exercisable and shall remain outstanding in accordance
with their terms and (2) notwithstanding Paragraph C.2(b)(1) but after taking into account the
accelerated vesting set forth therein, the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide for
cancellation of the outstanding Options at the time of the Change in Control in which case a
payment of cash, property or a combination thereof shall be made to the Participant that is
determined by the Board in its sole discretion and that is at least equal to the excess, if any, of
the value of such consideration over the Option Exercise Price for such Options.
(c) If the outstanding Options granted hereunder are assumed or replaced in accordance with
Paragraph C.2(a) and the Participant’s employment with the Company (of, if applicable, a successor
corporation) is terminated by the Company or such successor for any reasons other than Cause or by
the Participant for Good Reason, in each case, within the two-year period commencing on the Change
in Control, then, as of the date of the Participant’s termination, the outstanding Options granted
hereunder shall immediately vest and become exercisable and shall remain outstanding until the
Expiration Date. For purposes of this Paragraph C.2, “Cause” and “Good Reason” are defined in the
Plan and a termination for Cause or Good Reason is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
the Plan.
3. Nontransferability. Unless the Committee specifically determines otherwise: (a) the
Options are personal to the Participant and, during his or her lifetime, may be exercised only by
the Participant, and (b) the Options shall not be transferable or assignable, other than, in the
case of the Participant’s death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such
purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void.
4. Buy-Out of Option Gains. Except as provided in Paragraph C.2, at any time after any
Option becomes exercisable, the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion and without
the consent of the Participant, to cancel such Option and to cause PepsiCo to pay to the
6
Participant 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 as of the date the Committee provides written
notice (the “Buy Out Notice”) of its intention to exercise such right. Payments of such buy out
amounts pursuant to this provision shall be effected by PepsiCo as promptly as possible after the
date of the Buy Out Notice and shall be made in shares of Common Stock. The number of shares shall
be the greatest number of whole shares 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. Payments of
any such buy out amounts shall be made net of the minimum applicable foreign, federal (including
FICA), state and local withholding taxes, if any.

Agreement shall be addressed to PepsiCo at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Vice President,

7. Binding Effect.

the Participant’s employment for any reason.
9. Registration, Listing and Qualification of Shares. The Committee may require that
the Participant make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the
Committee deems appropriate to assure compliance with or exemption from the requirements of any
securities exchange, any foreign, federal, state or local law, any governmental regulatory body, or

including the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) and the regulations thereunder pertaining to the deferral of compensation, or the rules and
regulations of any stock exchange on which PepsiCo Common Stock is listed or quoted); and (ii) the
amendment must be permitted under the Plan. The Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance
with any provision of this Agreement or failure to exercise, or any delay in exercising, any right,
power or remedy under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or any
such right, power or remedy which the Board, the Committee or the Company has under this Agreement.
11. Severability or Reform by Court. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
is deemed by a court to be broader than permitted by applicable law, then such provision shall be
reformed (or otherwise revised or narrowed) so that it is enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by a court to be
invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall not be affected.
12. Plan Controls. The Options and the terms and conditions set forth herein are
subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any guidelines, policies or
regulations which govern administration of the Plan, which shall be controlling. The Committee
reserves its rights to amend or terminate the Plan at any time without the consent of the
Participant; provided, however, that Options outstanding under the Plan at the time of such action
shall not, without the Participant’s written consent, be adversely affected thereby (except to the
extent the Committee reasonably determines that such amendment or termination is necessary or
appropriate to comply with applicable law, including the provisions of Code Section 409A and the
regulations thereunder pertaining to the deferral of compensation, or the rules and regulations of
any stock exchange on which PepsiCo Common Stock is listed or quoted). All interpretations or
determinations of the Committee or its delegate shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the
Participant (and his or her legal representatives and any recipient of a transfer of the Options
permitted by this Agreement) on any question arising hereunder or under the Plan or other
guidelines, policies or regulations which govern administration of the Plan.
13. Participant Acknowledgements. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant
acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the Option grant will be exclusively governed by the terms of the Plan, including the
right reserved by the Company to amend or cancel the Plan at any time without the Company incurring
liability to the Participant (except for Options already granted under the Plan);
(b) the Participant has been provided a copy of PepsiCo’s Prospectus relating to the Plan, the
Options and the shares covered thereby;
(c) stock options are not a constituent part of the Participant’s salary and that the
Participant is not entitled, under the terms and conditions of his/her employment, or by accepting
or being awarded the Options pursuant to this Agreement to require options or other awards to be
granted to him/her in the future under the Plan or any other plan;
(d) upon exercise of the Options the Participant will arrange for payment to the Company an
estimated amount to cover employee payroll taxes resulting from the exercise and/or, to the extent
necessary, any balance may be withheld from the Participant’s wages;
9
(e) benefits received under the Plan will be excluded from the calculation of termination
indemnities or other severance payments;
(f) in the event of termination of the Participant’s employment, a severance or notice period
to which the Participant may be entitled under local law and which follows the date of termination
specified in a notice of termination or other document evidencing the termination of the
Participant’s employment will not be treated as active employment for purposes of this Agreement
and, as a result, vesting of unvested Options will not be extended by any such period;
(g) the Participant will seek all necessary approval under, make all required notifications
under and comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the ownership of stock options
and stock and the exercise of stock options, including, without limitation, currency and exchange
laws, rules and regulations; and, in the event that any of the Participant’s Options, including any
such awards previously granted, become subject to the Indian fringe benefit tax (“FBT”), the
Participant will be responsible for the FBT imposed on such awards and consents to provide payment
to the Company of the applicable FBT at the time such FBT is due in accordance with the procedures
specified from time to time by the Company; and
(h) this Agreement will be interpreted and applied so that the Options will not be subject to
Code Section 409A. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Options become subject to Code
Section 409A, this Agreement will be modified to the extent the Committee reasonably determines
that is necessary or appropriate for such Options to comply with Code Section 409A.
14. No Rights as Shareholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a holder of
PepsiCo Common Stock with respect to the Options granted hereunder unless and until such Options
are exercised and the shares have been registered in the Participant’s name as owner.
15. Right of Set-Off. The Participant agrees, in the event that the Company in its
reasonable judgment determines that the Participant owes the Company or any Related Entity any
amount due to any loan, note, obligation or indebtedness, including but not limited to amounts owed
to the Company pursuant to the Company’s tax equalization program or the Company’s policies with
respect to travel and business expenses, and if the Participant has not satisfied such
obligation(s), then the Company may instruct the plan administrator to withhold and/or sell shares
of PepsiCo Common Stock acquired by the Participant upon exercise of his or her Options, or the
Company may deduct funds equal to the amount of such obligation from other funds due to the
Participant from the Company.
16. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Participant hereby consents and agrees to
electronic delivery of any Plan documents, proxy materials, annual reports and other related
documents. The Participant hereby consents to any and all procedures that the Company has
established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of Plan
documents (including documents relating to any programs adopted under the Plan), and agrees that
his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or
her manual signature. Participant consents and agrees that any such procedures and delivery may be
effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the
Plan, including any program adopted under the Plan.
17. Data Privacy. Participant hereby acknowledges and consents to the collection, use,
processing and transfer of personal data as described in this Paragraph C.17. Participant is not
obliged to consent to such collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data. However,
10
failure to provide the consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
The Company and Participant’s employer hold certain personal information about Participant, that
may include his/her name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number
or other employee identification number, salary grade, hire data, salary, nationality, job title,
any shares of PepsiCo Common Stock, or details of all options, restricted stock units or any other
entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, or unvested, for the purpose
of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). PepsiCo and/or its subsidiaries will transfer
Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and
management of Participant’s participation in the Plan, and PepsiCo and/or any of its subsidiaries
may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting PepsiCo in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located throughout the world,
including the United States. Participant’s authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and
transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and
managing Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as
