      The  information  listed  below,  which has been  filed by  TRICON  Global
Restaurants,  Inc.  ("TRICON") with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the
"Commission"), is specifically incorporated herein by reference:

      (a)   TRICON's Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Commission
            on July 2, 1997  including  the  exhibits  thereto,  as  amended  by
            Amendment  No.  1  thereto  filed  on Form  10/A on July  28,  1997,
            Amendment No. 2 thereto  filed on Form 10/A on August 20, 1997,  and
            Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on Form 10/A on August 28, 1997.
      (b)   The   description  of  TRICON's   Common  Stock   contained  in  the
            Registration Statement on Form 10 referred to in (a) above.
      (c)   The  description  of  TRICON's  Preferred  Stock  contained  in  the
            Registration Statement on Form 10 referred to in (a) above.

      All documents filed by TRICON pursuant to Section13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 after the date hereof,  and prior to the
filing of a post-effective  amendment indicating the termination of the offering

shall be deemed to be modified or superseded  for purposes  hereof to the extent
that a statement  contained herein (or in any other  subsequently filed document

deemed to constitute a part hereof except as so modified or superseded.


<PAGE>


ITEM 4.           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

      The obligations of TRICON under the Restaurant Deferred  Compensation Plan
(the  "Obligations") are unsecured general obligations of TRICON to pay deferred
compensation  in the  future  in  accordance  with the  terms of the  Restaurant
Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") and rank pari passu with other unsecured
and  unsubordinated  indebtedness  of  TRICON  outstanding  from  time to  time.
However,  the right of TRICON, hence the right of creditors of TRICON (including
Participants in the Plan),  to participate in any  distribution of the assets of
any subsidiary of TRICON upon its liquidation or  reorganization or otherwise is
necessarily  subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary,  except
to the extent that claims of TRICON itself as a creditor of the  subsidiary  may
be recognized.

      The amount of compensation  deferred by each  Participant is determined in
accordance with the Plan based on the Participant's  elections,  subject to such
rules and regulations as may be established by TRICON, as the plan administrator
of the Plan. Each Obligation will be payable in accordance with the terms of the
Plan. Under the Plan, the Obligations  will yield an investment  return (plus or
minus) based on one or more options individually chosen by each Participant. The
Obligations  will be  accounted  for in units and are  payable in United  States
dollars.

      Under  the  Plan,  a  Participant's  right to the  Obligations  cannot  be
assigned, alienated, sold, garnished, transferred, pledged, or encumbered except
by a  written  designation  of a  beneficiary  under  the Plan or by the laws of
descent and  distribution.  The  Obligations  are not  convertible  into another
security of TRICON.  No trustee has been appointed  having the authority to take
action with respect to the Obligations and each  Participant will be responsible
for acting  independently  with  respect to, among other  things,  the making of
investment elections and giving of notices.

      TRICON reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time.

ITEM 5.           INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

      LEGAL OPINION

      Lawrence F. Dickie,  Esq.,  Vice  President and  Secretary of TRICON,  has
rendered an opinion  stating that the  Obligations  registered  hereunder,  when
incurred  in  accordance  with the terms of the Plan,  will be valid and binding
obligations  of TRICON,  enforceable in accordance  with their terms,  except as
enforcement  thereof may be limited by  bankruptcy,  insolvency or other laws of
general applicability  relating to or affecting enforcement of creditor's rights
or by general equity principles.  Mr. Dickie is a full-time employee of PepsiCo,
Inc.  ("PepsiCo"),  the parent company of TRICON,  and beneficially owns certain
PepsiCo  securities,  including  PepsiCo  Capital  Stock and options to purchase
PepsiCo Capital Stock, which will result in the ownership of TRICON Common Stock
upon the  distribution of TRICON Company Stock to the holders of PepsiCo Capital
Stock as described in the Form 10, as amended.

      EXPERTS

      The combined  financial  statements  of TRICON as of December 28, 1996 and
December  30,  1995,  and for each of the years in the three year  period  ended
December  28,  1996,  included in the TRICON  Registration  Statement on Form 10
filed with the SEC on July 2, 1997,  as amended,  have been audited by KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP, independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon included
therein and  incorporated  herein by reference.  The report of KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP  covering  the December 28, 1996  combined  financial  statements  refers to
TRICON's 1995 adoption of the provisions of the Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of" and TRICON's
1994 change in the method of  calculating  the market  related  value of pension
plan assets used in the  determination  of pension  expense and 1994 adoption of
the  provisions  of the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board's  Statement of
Financial   Standards  No.  112,   "Employers'   Accounting  for  Postemployment
Benefits,"  respectively.  Such combined  financial  statements are incorporated
herein by  reference in reliance  upon such report  given upon the  authority of
such firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

      The financial statements incorporated herein by reference to all documents
subsequently filed by TRICON pursuant to Sections 13(a),  13(c), 14 and 15(d) of
the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 prior to the  filing of a  post-effective
amendment which  indicates that all securities  offered hereby have been sold or
which  deregisters  all  securities  then  remaining  unsold,  are or will be so
incorporated in reliance upon the reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP and any other
independent public accountants,  and relating to such financial  information and
upon the authority of such independent public accountants as experts in auditing
and accounting in giving such reports to the extent that the particular firm has
audited such  financial  statements  and  consented to the use of their  reports
thereon.

ITEM 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

      A provision of the TRICON Articles (the  "Provision)  provides that to the
full extent from time to time  permitted by law, no Director shall be personally
liable in any action for monetary  damages for breach of any duty as a Director,
whether  such action is brought by or in the right of the Company or  otherwise.
Neither the amendment nor repeal of the Provision, nor adoption of any provision
of the TRICON Articles which is inconsistent with the Provision, shall eliminate
or reduce the  protection  afforded by the Provision  with respect to any matter
which  occurred,  or any  cause  of  action,  suit or claim  which,  but for the
Provision  would  have  accrued or arisen,  prior to such  amendment,  repeal or
adoption.

      While the TRICON  Articles  provide  Directors with protection from awards
for monetary  damages for breaches of their duty of care,  they do not eliminate
such  duty.  Accordingly,  the  TRICON  Articles  will  have  no  effect  on the
availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or recission based on a
Director's breach of his or her duty of care.

      The TRICON Articles  provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent
from time to time permitted by law, indemnify its Directors and officers against
all liabilities and expenses in any suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or  investigative,  and whether or not brought by or on behalf of
the Company,  including  all appeals  therefrom,  arising out of their status as
such  or  their  activities  in any  of the  foregoing  capacities,  unless  the
activities  of the  person to be  indemnified  were at the time  taken  known or
believed  by him to be  clearly  in  conflict  with  the best  interests  of the
Company.  The Company shall likewise and to the same extent indemnify any person
who, at the request of the  Company,  is or was serving as a Director,  officer,
partner,  trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  or as a  trustee  or
administrator under any employee benefit plan. The right to be indemnified shall
include,  without  limitation,  the right of a  Director  or  officer to be paid
expenses in advance of the final  disposition of any proceeding  upon receipt of
an  undertaking  to repay such amount  unless it shall  ultimately be determined
that  he  or  she  is  entitled  to  be   indemnified.   A  person  entitled  to
indemnification  shall also be paid  reasonable  costs,  expenses and attorneys'
fees  (including  expenses) in connection  with the enforcement of rights to the
indemnification  granted.  The foregoing rights of indemnification  shall not be
exclusive  of any other  rights to which those  seeking  indemnification  may be
entitled  and shall  not be  limited  by the  provisions  of the North  Carolina
Business  Corporation Act or any successor  statute.  The Board of Directors may
take such action as it deems  necessary or desirable to carry out the  foregoing
indemnification  provisions,  including adopting  procedures for determining and
enforcing the rights guaranteed thereby, and the Board of Directors is expressly
empowered to adopt, approve and amend from time to time such Bylaws, resolutions
or  contracts  implementing  such  provisions  or such  further  indemnification
arrangement  as may be permitted by law.  Neither the amendment or repeal of the
foregoing indemnification  provisions,  nor the adoption of any provision of the
TRICON  Articles  inconsistent  with the foregoing  indemnification  provisions,
shall  eliminate  or  reduce  any  rights  to  indemnification  afforded  by the
foregoing indemnification  provisions to any person with respect to their status
or any activities in their official  capacities prior to such amendment,  repeal
or adoption.

      Officers and directors of TRICON are presently  covered by insurance which
(with  certain  exceptions  and within  certain  limitations)  indemnifies  them
against any losses  arising from any alleged  wrongful act including any alleged
error or  misstatement  or  misleading  statement or wrongful act or omission or
neglect of duty.

ITEM 8.           EXHIBITS

      The Index to Exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9.           UNDERTAKINGS

      (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
      a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

            (i)   To include any  prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of
         the Securities Act of 1933;

            (ii) To reflect in the  prospectus any facts or events arising after
         the effective  date of the  Registration  Statement (or the most recent
         post-effective  amendment  thereof)  which,   individually  or  in  the
         aggregate,  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in the Registration Statement;

            (iii) To include any material  information  with respect to the plan
         of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration  Statement
         or  any  material  change  to  such  information  in  the  Registration
         Statement;

      provided,  however,  that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
      if the information  required to be included in a post-effective  amendment
      by  those  paragraphs  is  contained  in  periodic  reports  filed  by the
      registrant  pursuant  to  Section 13 or  Section  15(d) of the  Securities
      Exchange  Act  of  1934  that  are   incorporated   by  reference  in  the
      Registration Statement.

         (2) That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
      Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
      to be a new  registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered
      therein,  and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
      to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
      any  of  the  securities  being  registered  which  remain  unsold  at the
      termination of the offering.

      (b) The undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining  any liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  (and,  where  applicable,  each  filing of an
employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934)  that is  incorporated  by  reference  in the
Registration  Statement  shall  be  deemed  to be a new  registration  statement
relating to the securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      (c)  Insofar  as  indemnification   for  liabilities   arising  under  the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities  Act of 1933 and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim  for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling  person of the registrant in the  successful  defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,  officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless
in the  opinion  of its  counsel  the matter  has been  settled  by  controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification  by it is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities  Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final  adjudication  of such
issue.

Louisville, KY  40213

                                                October 1, 1997

Dear Sir or Madam:

      As Vice  President  and  Secretary  of  TRICON  Global  Restaurants,  Inc.
("TRICON"),   I  have  acted  as  counsel  to  TRICON  in  connection  with  the
Registration  Statement on Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement") being filed
today  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  in  connection  with the
registration  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the  "Act"),  of
$4,000,000  of Deferred  Compensation  Obligations  which  represents  unsecured
obligations of TRICON to pay deferred  compensation  in the future in accordance
with the terms of the Restaurant Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan").

      In  connection  with the opinion set forth  below,  I have  examined  such
records and  documents  and have made such  investigations  of law and fact as I
have deemed necessary.

      Based upon the foregoing,  it is my opinion that the Deferred Compensation
Obligations  registered  pursuant to the  Registration  Statement  to which this
opinion is an exhibit,  when incurred in accordance  with the terms of the Plan,
will be valid and binding obligations of TRICON,  enforceable in accordance with
their  terms,  except as  enforcement  thereof  may be  limited  by  bankruptcy,
insolvency  or other  laws of general  applicability  relating  to or  affecting
enforcement of creditor's rights or by general equity principles.

      I hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement and to the use of my name in the Registration  Statement
under the caption of "Legal  Opinion".  In giving this  consent,  I do not admit
that I am in the category of persons whose  consent is required  under Section 7
of the  Act  or the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission thereunder.


                                          Very truly yours,


                                          By: /s/ Lawrence F. Dickie
