<p style=' margin-bottom:6pt; margin-top:6pt; margin-left:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=3>On November 8, 2005, Yum! Brands, Inc. (&#147;Yum&#148;) executed a five-year revolving credit facility (the &#147;Credit Facility&#148;) on behalf of three of its wholly owned international subsidiaries.  The total facility amount is $350 million, with separate sublimits for each of the three subsidiaries.  Citigroup Global Markets Ltd. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. arranged the Credit Facility on Yum&#146;s behalf.  Citigroup International Plc and Citibank, N.A., Canadian Branch will serve as Facility Agents for the Credit Facility, which was syndicated among six participants.  We currently anticipate that borrowings under the Credit Facility will initially be made to facilitate the repatriation of funds in conjunction with The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=3>The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility ranges from 0.20% to 1.20% over the &#147;London Interbank Offered Rate&#148; (&#147;LIBOR&#148;) or 0.00% to 0.20% over a Canadian Alternate Base Rate, which is the greater of the Citibank, N.A., Canadian Branch&#146;s publicly announced reference rate or the &#147;Canadian Dollar Offered Rate&#148; (&#147;CDOR&#148;) plus 0.50%.  The exact spread over LIBOR or the Canadian Alternate Base Rate, as applicable, will depend upon Yum&#146;s performance under specified financial criteria.  Interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility is payable at least quarterly.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=3>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:0.5in;text-align:justify;'><font size=3>The Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by Yum and by Yum&#146;s principal domestic subsidiaries and contains financial covenants relating to the maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios.  The Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness, level of cash dividends, aggregate non-U.S. investment and certain other transactions as defined in the agreement.  These covenants are substantially similar to those contained in the Yum Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which was filed as Exhibit 10.6 on Form 10-Q on October 12, 2004.  The Credit Facility will be filed as an exhibit to our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2005. </font></p>
