The Notes will be purchased  by the  Underwriter  at 100.00% of their  principal
amount (the "Initial Offering Price").  The Underwriter has advised PepsiCo that
it intends to offer all or part of the Notes directly to the public initially at
the Initial Offering Price of such Debt Securities. After the Notes are released
for sale to the public, the offering price and other selling terms may from time
to time be varied by the Underwriter.

For U.S.  federal  income tax purposes,  the Notes will be treated as Fixed Rate
Debt  Securities,  issued  without OID. This  treatment is  consistent  with the
applicable  provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
final OID regulations, which are generally effective for debt instruments issued
on or after April 4, 1994.
