(b)Exercisable YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights must be exercised no later than 4PM Eastern Standard Time (“EST”), __________, 20__. The time during which YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights are exercisable is referred to as the “YUM! Stock Appreciation Right Term.” If the expiration date falls on a New York Stock Exchange market holiday or weekend, 4PM EST will mean the business day prior to the expiration date.
(c)Once exercisable and until the end of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Term or such earlier date of the termination of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights as set forth in Section 4, all or a portion of the exercisable YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised from time to time and at any time under procedures that the Committee shall establish from time to time, including, without limitation, procedures regarding the frequency of exercise and the minimum number of YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights which may be exercised at any time. Fractional YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights may not be exercised and no fractional shares shall be deliverable hereunder. No omission to exercise a YUM! Stock Appreciation Right shall result in the lapse of any other YUM! Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder until the forfeiture, expiration or termination of such YUM! Stock Appreciation Right. The YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and expire no later than the end of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right Term.
3.Exercise Procedure. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by giving notice of exercise to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, the stock plan administrator (or any other stock plan administrator or vendor designated by YUM!) in the manner specified from time to time by YUM! or the stock plan administrator. Upon the exercise of a YUM! Stock Appreciation Right with respect to a share of Stock, the Participant shall receive an amount from YUM! which is equal to the excess of the market price of a share of Stock at the time of exercise over the Exercise Price of one share of Stock. Such amount will be paid to the Participant, in shares of Stock (based on the market price of such shares at the date of exercise), and in cash with respect to any fractional shares or in a combination thereof as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject to satisfaction of all Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 6 below).
4.Effect of Termination of Employment, Death, Retirement and Special Termination.
(a)The Participant shall have a period of 90 days following the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company (as determined in accordance with Section 7(h) below) to exercise YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights that are vested and exercisable as of the Participant’s last day of employment, but such exercise period shall not extend beyond the end of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right Term. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4 or as otherwise provided by the Committee, the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights shall automatically
2
expire, and no YUM! Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised after, such 90-day period (or, if earlier, the last day of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right Term).
(b)In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than for cause, including, without limitation, as a result of (i) a disposition (or similar transaction) with respect to an identifiable Company business or segment (“Business”), and in accordance with the terms of the transaction, the Participant and a substantial portion of the other employees of the Business continue in employment with such Business or commence employment with its acquiror, (ii) the elimination of the Participant’s position within the Company, or (iii) the selection of the Participant for work force reduction (whether voluntary or involuntary), the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights will pro rata vest on a monthly basis for the vesting period in which the termination occurs such that a portion of the Participant’s otherwise unvested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights for the vesting period in which the termination occurs will vest based on the time the Participant was employed during such vesting period up to the last day of employment (as determined in accordance with Section 7(h) below) and all unvested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights will be forfeited. In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for cause, the Participant’s outstanding YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights will be forfeited and become unexercisable upon such termination unless otherwise provided by the Committee.
(c)In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of Participant’s death, the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights will immediately vest as of the date of Participant’s death. The Participant’s vested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights vested pursuant to this paragraph may be exercised before the earlier of: (i) the five year anniversary of the Participant’s death or (ii) the end of the Stock Appreciation Right Term set forth in this Agreement. The Participant’s vested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised during the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right Term in accordance with this Agreement.
(d)In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of Retirement (as defined in Section 25), and such Participant is Retirement eligible on his or her date of Retirement, the Participant’s YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights will continue to vest following Participant’s Retirement through the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that Participant remains actively employed by XXX! through the one year anniversary of the Grant Date. The Participant’s vested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights that vest pursuant to this paragraph must be exercised before the earlier of: (i) the five year anniversary of the Participant’s Retirement or (ii) the end of the Stock Appreciation Right Term set forth in this Agreement and all unvested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights will be forfeited. The Participant’s vested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised during the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right Term in accordance with this Agreement.
(e)In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by reason of Special Termination (as defined in Section 25), the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights will vest in accordance with the following: (i) if the Special Termination occurs as a result of a Special Termination as defined in Section 25(c)(i), pro rata on a monthly basis for the vesting period in which the termination occurs such that a portion of the Participant’s otherwise unvested
3
YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights for the vesting period in which the termination occurs will vest based on the time the Participant was employed during the vesting period up to the last day of employment (as determined in accordance with Section 7(h) below) and all unvested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights will be forfeited and (ii) if the Special Termination occurs as a result of a Special Termination as defined in Section 25(c)(ii), in accordance with the vesting schedule otherwise applicable to the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights as set forth in this Agreement as though employment with the franchisee were not termination with the Company. The Participant’s vested YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised during the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right Term in accordance with this Agreement.
5.Compensation Recovery Policy
(a)The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights granted to Participant under this Agreement shall be subject to the YUM! Brands, Inc. Compensation Recovery Policy, amended and restated November 16, 2023 (“Compensation Recovery Policy”), and as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
(b)This Agreement is a voluntary agreement, and each Participant who has accepted the Agreement has chosen to do so voluntarily. The Participant understands that all YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights provided under the Agreement and all amounts paid to the individual under the Agreement are provided as an advance that is contingent on YUM!’s financial statements not being subject to a material restatement. As a condition of the Agreement, the Participant specifically agrees that the Committee may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights for any individual party to such an agreement due to a material restatement of YUM!’s financial statements, as provided in the Compensation Recovery Policy. In the event that amounts have been paid to the Participant pursuant to the Agreement and the Committee determines that the Participant must repay an amount to the Company as a result of the Committee’s cancellation, rescission, suspension, withholding or other limitation or restriction of rights, the Participant agrees, as a condition of being awarded such rights, to make such repayments.
6.Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action YUM! or the Participant’s employer (if different) (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan that are legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and that such liability may exceed the amount actually withheld by XXX! or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that YUM! and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of any YUM! Stock Appreciation Right, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right, the subsequent sale of shares acquired under the Plan and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of a YUM! Stock Appreciation Right to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant becomes subject to tax and/or social security contributions in more
4
than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable, tax and/or social security contribution withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that YUM! and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable, tax and/or social security contribution withholding event, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to YUM! and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes YUM! and/or the Employer, at their sole discretion, to satisfy the obligations with respect to Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to him or her by YUM! and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares acquired upon exercise of a YUM! Stock Appreciation Right, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by XXX! (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in shares to be issued upon exercise of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right. To avoid negative accounting treatment, YUM! or the Employer will withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares, for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the exercised YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
Finally, the Participant shall pay to YUM! or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that YUM! or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan or the Participant’s acquisition of shares upon exercise of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. YUM! may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to issue or deliver the shares or the proceeds of the sale of the shares to the Participant if the Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
7.Nature of Grant. In accepting the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by XXX! and is discretionary in nature;
(b)all decisions with respect to future stock appreciation right grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of YUM!;

(g)if the underlying shares do not increase in value, the YUM! Stock Appreciation Right will have no value;

Stock Appreciation Rights and vest in the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed with the Company (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of termination of employment with the Company (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to exercise the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the Participant’s last day of active employment with the Company (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed with the Company for purposes of his or her YUM! Stock Appreciation Right grant;
(i)by accepting the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights covered by this Agreement, Participant agrees to an amendment to the terms of all prior Global YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights Agreements between the Company and Participant pursuant to which there are currently unvested or unexercised YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding, to add a new Section 13 to such Agreements which is identical to Section 13, Restrictive Covenants, of this Agreement.

(i)the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights and any shares (or cash) acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

6
severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for YUM! or the Employer; and
(iii)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment by YUM! or the Employer (whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and in consideration of the grant of the YUM! Xxxxx Appreciation Rights to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim and releases the Company from any such claim if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims.

In the event of the Participant’s death, the YUM! Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by the Participant’s designated beneficiary (or, if none, his or her legal representative).

In the event that any portion of this Section 13(b) shall be determined by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable because it is unreasonably restrictive in any respect, it shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it reasonably may be enforced and to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced in all other respects, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such court or arbitrator in such action. Participant acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement is to be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, the provisions of this Section 13(c) are not applicable to a Participant who is a resident of California and provides the majority of his or her services to the Company within California.
The Company and Participant agree that the provisions of this Section 13 contain restrictions that are not greater than necessary to protect the interests of the Company.
(d)Partial Invalidity. If any portion of this Section 13 is determined by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable in any respect, it shall be interpreted to be valid to the maximum extent for which it reasonably may be enforced, and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such arbitrator in such action.

The Participant understands that YUM! has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant SARs under the Plan to select individuals who meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the Plan. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind YUM! or any Subsidiary, other than to the extent set forth in the Agreement. Consequently, the Participant understands that the SAR is granted on the assumption and condition that the SAR and any shares acquired upon exercise of the SAR are not part of any employment contract (either with YUM! or any Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant of the SAR since the future value of the underlying shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Participant understands that the SAR would not be granted to him or her but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of this SAR shall be null and void.
