10b5-1 Repurchase Plan
Repurchase Plan, dated May 23, 2005 (this “Repurchase Plan”), between PepsiAmericas, Inc. (the “Issuer”) and Banc of America Securities LLC. (“BAS”).
WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to establish this Repurchase Plan to repurchase shares of its common stock (the “Stock”); and
WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to engage BAS to effect repurchases of shares of Stock in accordance with this Repurchase Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Issuer and BAS hereby agree as follows:
1.
(a) Subject to the Issuer’s
continued compliance with Section 2 hereof, BAS shall effect a purchase or
purchases (each, a “Purchase”) of up to 2,000,000 shares of the
Stock (the “Total Plan Shares”) as set forth in Annex 1.
(b) Purchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. BAS shall comply with the requirements of paragraphs (b)(2), (b)(3) and (b)(4) of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in connection with Purchases of Stock in the open market pursuant to this Repurchase Plan. The Issuer agrees not to take any action that would cause Purchases not to comply with Rule 10b-18, Rule 10b5-1 or Regulation M.
2.
The Issuer shall pay to BAS a commission
of $.02 cents per share of Stock repurchased pursuant to this Repurchase Plan.
In accordance with BAS’s customary procedures, BAS will deposit shares of
Stock purchased hereunder into an account established by BAS for the Issuer
against payment to BAS of the purchase price therefor and commissions and other
amounts in respect thereof payable pursuant to this Section. The Issuer
will be notified of all transactions pursuant to customary trade confirmations.
3.
(a) This Repurchase Plan shall
become effective immediately and shall terminate upon the first to occur of the
following:
(1) the ending of the Trading Period, as set forth in Annex 1;
(2) the purchase of the number of Total Plan Shares pursuant to this Repurchase Plan;
(3) the end of the second business day following the date of receipt by BAS of notice of early termination substantially in the form of Appendix A hereto, delivered by telecopy, transmitted to (212) 230-8610, Attention: Chip Gibbs, and confirmed by telephone to Chip Gibbs at (212) 583-8554;
(4) the commencement of any voluntary or involuntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver or other similar official, or the taking of any corporate action by the Issuer to authorize or commence any of the foregoing;
(5) the public announcement of a tender or exchange offer for the Stock or of a merger, acquisition, recapitalization or other similar business combination or transaction as a result of which the Stock would be exchanged for or converted into cash, securities or other property; or
(6) the failure of the Issuer to comply with Section 2 hereof.
(b) Sections 2 and 13 of this Repurchase Plan shall survive any termination hereof. In addition, the Issuer’s obligation under Section 2 hereof in respect of any shares of Stock purchased prior to any termination hereof shall survive any termination hereof.
4.
The Issuer understands that BAS may not
be able to effect a Purchase due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory
or contractual restriction or internal policy applicable to BAS or
otherwise. If any Purchase cannot be executed as required by
Section 1 due to a market disruption, a legal, regulatory or contractual
restriction or internal policy applicable to BAS or any other event, such
Purchase shall be cancelled and shall not be effected pursuant to this
Repurchase Plan.

5.
The Issuer represents and warrants, on
the date hereof and on the date of any amendment hereto, that: (a) it is
not aware of material, nonpublic information with respect to the Issuer or any
securities of the Issuer (including the Stock), (b) it is entering into or
amending, as the case may be, this Repurchase Plan in good faith and not as
part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 under
the Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws and (c) its execution
of this Repurchase Plan or amendment hereto, as the case may be, and the
Purchases contemplated hereby do not and will not violate or conflict with the
Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or, if applicable, any
similar constituent document, or any law, rule regulation or agreement
binding on or applicable to the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or any of its
of their property or assets.
6.
It is the intent of the parties that this
Repurchase Plan comply with the requirements of
Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange
Act, and this Repurchase Plan shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements
thereof.
7.
The Issuer shall, on the business day
prior to the intended date of such purchase, notify BAS of the intention on the
part of any affiliated purchaser, as defined in Rule 10b-18, of the Issuer
to purchase the Stock on any day if such purchase is to be effected otherwise
than through BAS pursuant to this Repurchase Plan and BAS shall refrain from
purchasing any Stock hereunder on the day following receipt of such
notice. The Issuer shall be solely responsible for any purchases made by
BAS as the Issuer’s agent prior to BAS’s receipt of such written
notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if BAS receives such notice, BAS
may nevertheless be entitled to make, and the Issuer shall be solely
responsible for, a purchase hereunder pursuant to a bid made before such notice
is received by BAS. The Issuer shall be solely responsible for notifying
BAS of any purchases of the Stock by any such affiliated purchaser, and,
without limiting the generality of Section 14 hereof, the Issuer agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless BAS for any failure to so notify BAS or any error
in any such notification. The Issuer also acknowledges that any action
that it takes that causes or influences any such affiliated purchaser to
purchase the Stock may cause the Daily Share Purchase Amount to be reduced.
