previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):
(1) the Registrant's Prospectus, dated March 30, 1999, filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as

ITEM 4. Description of Securities
-------------------------
Not applicable (the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) of
the Exchange Act).
ITEM 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
--------------------------------------
The validity of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the PBG Stock
Incentive Plan has been passed upon for the Registrant by Pamela L. McGuire,
Esq., Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the
Registrant. Ms. McGuire holds options to purchase shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock.
ITEM 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
-----------------------------------------
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees
and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions,
suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such
person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the
Registrant. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145
is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may
be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. Article Eighth of the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification by the Registrant
of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director
of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Ninth
of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for such
limitation of liability.
The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which
coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss rising
from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b)
to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the
Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above
indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

ITEM 9. Undertakings
------------
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:
(a) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act;
(b) 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(c) 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 (1)(a) and (1)(b) 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 Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, 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.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act 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
SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act 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 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Re: The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.-Registration Statement for
Offering of an Aggregate of 3,700,000 Shares of Common Stock
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have acted as general counsel to The Pepsi Bottling Group,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company'), in connection with the
registration on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 3,700,000 shares of
common stock of the Company (the "Shares") under the PBG Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
I, or other attorneys employed by the Company, have reviewed such
corporate records, other documents and such questions of law and fact
as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of
this opinion.
Based on such review, I am of the opinion that, if, as and when
the Shares have been issued and sold (and the consideration therefor
received) in accordance with the terms of the Plan and any award
agreement thereunder, such Shares will be duly authorized, legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
I consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement. 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.
This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written
above and I disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts,
circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought
to our attention and which may alter, affect or modify the opinion
expressed herein. My opinion is expressly limited to the matters set
forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or
otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the Plan
or the Shares.
Very truly yours,
