the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 10, the
maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for
issuance under the Plan shall be (i) 70 million, plus

this Plan. Any of the authorized shares may be used for any of the

at least 20 million of the authorized shares will be available

(b)
Share Counting . The following shall
apply in determining the number of shares remaining available for
grant under this Plan:
(i)
In connection with the granting of an Option or other Award (other
than a Performance Unit denominated in dollars), the number of
shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan shall
be reduced by the number of shares in respect of which the Option
or Award is granted or denominated; provided, however, that where a
SAR is settled in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of
Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan shall be
reduced only by the number of shares issued in such settlement.
(ii)
If any Option is exercised by tendering shares of Common Stock to
PepsiCo as full or partial payment of the exercise price, the
number of shares available for issuance under this Plan shall be
increased by the number of shares so tendered.
(iii)
Whenever any outstanding Option or other Award (or portion thereof)
expires, is cancelled, is settled in cash or is otherwise
terminated for any reason without having been exercised or payment
having been made in respect of the entire Option or Award, the
shares allocable to the expired, cancelled, settled or otherwise
terminated portion of the Option or Award may again be the subject
of Options or Awards granted under this Plan.
(iv)
Awards granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for,
outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who become
employees as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or
other corporate transaction involving the Company as a result of an
acquisition will not count against the reserve of available shares
under this Plan.
(c)
Shares to be Delivered . Shares of
Common Stock to be delivered by the Company under this Plan shall
be determined by the Committee and may consist in whole or in part
of authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares
acquired on the open market.

that may be granted to any Eligible Participant for a Performance
Period greater than one year shall not exceed the foregoing annual
maximum multiplied by the number of full years in the Performance
Period.
7. Awards to Eligible Participants.
(a)
Options .
(i)
Grants . Subject to the terms and
provisions of this Plan, Options may be granted to Eligible
Participants. Options may consist of ISOs or NQSOs, as the
Committee shall determine. Options may be granted alone or in
tandem with SARs. With respect to Options granted in tandem with
SARs, the exercise of either such Options or such SARs will result
in the simultaneous cancellation of the same number of tandem SARs
or Options, as the case may be.
(ii)
Option Exercise Price . The Option
Exercise Price shall be equal to or greater than the Fair Market
Value on the date the Option is granted, unless the Option was
granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for,
outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who became
employees of the Company as a result of a merger, consolidation,
acquisition or other corporate transaction involving the
Company.
(iii)
Term . The term of Options shall be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event
shall the term exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant;
provided, however, that Awards covering up to five (5) million
shares of Common Stock may be issued with a term of up to fifteen
(15) years.
(iv)
ISO Limits . ISOs may only be granted
to employees of PepsiCo, its divisions and subsidiaries and may
only be granted to an employee who, at the time the Option is
granted, does not own
stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of PepsiCo. The
aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares with respect to which
ISOs are exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any
year shall not exceed $100,000. The aggregate Fair Market Value of
such shares shall be determined at the time the Option is
granted.
(v)
No Repricing . Except for adjustments
made pursuant to Section 10, the Option Exercise Price for any
outstanding Option granted under the Plan may not be decreased
after the date of grant nor may any outstanding Option granted
under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for
the grant of a new Option with a lower Option Exercise Price
without the approval of PepsiCo’s shareholders.
(vi)
Buy Out of Option Gains . At any time
after any Option becomes exercisable, the Committee shall have the
right to elect, in its sole discretion and without the consent of
the holder thereof, to cancel such Option and to cause PepsiCo to
pay to the 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 at the date the Committee provides
