        <footnote id="F1">This number represents shares of PBG common stock withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation due upon the vesting of restricted stock units, which were granted on March 1, 2006.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This number reflects the number of restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;) granted to the reporting person.  RSUs are settled in shares of PBG common stock and are calculated on a one unit for one share basis.  The vesting with respect to these RSUs is contingent upon the achievement of a pre-established 2009 earnings per share performance target as well as continued employment through March 1, 2012.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This number includes 644 RSUs accumulated as a result of dividend equivalents credited to the reporting person between September 30, 2008 and January 2, 2009 at the same time and in the same amount as dividends were paid to shareholders of common stock in accordance with the agreement governing the reporting person's RSU awards.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Reflects the number of shares of PBG common stock attributed to the reporting person based on his holdings in the PBG common stock fund of the PBG 401(k) Plan as of March 1, 2009. The number of shares was calculated by dividing the dollar value of the reporting person's holdings in such fund by the closing price of PBG common stock on March 1, 2009.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">Each Phantom Stock Unit entitles the reporting person to receive the cash equivalent of one share of PBG common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F6">In July 2008, the reporting person irrevocably elected to transfer on March 1, 2009 a portion of his holdings under the PBG Executive Income Deferral Program (the &quot;EID Plan&quot;) from one investment fund offered under the EID Plan into the PBG Phantom Stock Fund offered under the EID Plan.  The number of Phantom Stock Units indicated (7,000) was calculated by dividing the dollar value of the amount transferred by the closing price of a share of PBG Common Stock on February 27, 2009, the last trading day immediately preceding the transfer date of March 1, 2009.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F7">These dates are governed by the standard terms of the EID Program and specific elections made by the reporting person.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F8">The stock options become exercisable as follows:  33% on March 1, 2010; 33% on March 1, 2011; and 34% on March 1, 2012.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F9">There is no price for this derivative security.</footnote>
