        <footnote id="F1">This number reflects the number of restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;) granted to the reporting person.  These RSUs are immediately vested and are settled in shares of PBG common stock.  Per the terms of the RSUs, payment of the shares may be deferred at the election of the reporting person, subject to a minimum deferral period of two years.  The reporting person elected to defer these RSUs.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This number includes 22 shares of restricted stock accumulated as a result of dividends credited in the form of restricted stock on various dates between March 31, 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 director's restricted stock award.  This number also includes 132 RSUs accumulated as a result of dividend equivalents credited to the director on various dates between March 31, 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 director's RSU awards.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">There is no price for this derivative security.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Each Phantom Stock Unit entitles the reporting person to receive the cash equivalent of one share of PBG Common Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">This number represents the phantom stock units credited to the account of the reporting person under the PBG Director Deferral Program as a result of the reporting person's 2008 election to defer receipt of all or a portion of his 2009 retainer and fees, which are paid quarterly. Subject to the terms of the PBG Director Deferral Program, including a one year minimum deferral period, these phantom units will be paid in cash on the date specified in the reporting person's election to defer.</footnote>
