| 3.5.2 | For the duration of the IPO Period, and without imposing any obligation to sell shares in BSD, each of the Shareholders shall, to the extent relevant to such Shareholder (having regard to its shareholding in BSD, its representation (if any) on the BSD Board (including, where relevant, the IPO Board) and its role in the process for implementing the IPO), use all reasonable endeavours to assist BSD in taking all actions necessary to achieve the IPO including, without limitation, cooperating and participating as reasonably required to implement, as appropriate, the following actions:

| (i) | converting BSD into a public limited company;
| (ii) | reorganising the share capital structure of BSD (including, without limitation, insertion of a new holding company by way of an arrangement or compromise under Section 425 of the Companies Act 1985) provided that, following such reorganisation, each Shareholder would have rights as a shareholder in BSD (or any successor entity to BSD) equivalent to those it had in BSD prior to the reorganisation. PepsiCo acknowledges and agrees that any reorganisation undertaken prior to Admission in accordance with this Clause 3.5.2(ii) shall not give rise to any breach of or termination right under the EBA and that the EBA shall be construed accordingly;
| (iii) | determining the number of BSD Shares to be offered as is considered appropriate by the sponsoring bank(s) engaged for the IPO;
| (iv) | subject to Clause 2.1, changing the composition of the Board (such that its composition is appropriate for a company in which the shares are to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange (having regard to applicable corporate governance standards)) and procuring that the director(s) it has nominated enter into appropriate service contracts or letters of appointment;
| (v) | adopting new articles of association appropriate for a listed company;
| (vi) | instructing the Reporting Accountants;
| (vii) | meeting the financial reporting requirements set out in the Listing Rules (for example as to trading history, extracts from audited accounts of prior years, cash flow and profit forecasts and working capital report);
| (viii) | establishing or amending employee/executive share option schemes and obtaining relevant Inland Revenue clearance;
| (ix) | agreeing with the sponsoring bank(s) the sale/subscription price of the BSD Shares offered for sale and/or subscription in the IPO;
| (x) | carrying out verification of the prospectus and other documents pertinent to the IPO in respect of which verification is required;

9

#####

| (xi) | procuring that its appointee, or appointees, to the BSD Board provide any confirmations or consents which are reasonably necessary to secure Admission; and
| (xii) | entering into any agreements (including any lock-up agreement reasonably required by the sponsoring bank(s)) or executing any other documents in connection with the IPO as may reasonably be required by the sponsoring bank(s) or as may be required by any regulatory authority and on terms reasonably acceptable to each Shareholder who is a party to such an agreement or document and in a manner or form that does not create a concert party issue for the purposes of the Code.

| 3.5.3 | Notwithstanding Clause 2.1 and the Articles, each of the Shareholders shall be bound to remove forthwith any director it has appointed to the IPO Board from office if such director (a “Relevant Director”) fails or is unable to co-operate promptly with the IPO process or fails, is unable or delays either to provide any confirmations or consents necessary or to sign any documents (including, without limitation, a responsibility statement) reasonably necessary to secure Admission. The Shareholder who appointed the Relevant Director shall have the right to appoint a replacement therefor; provided that:

| (i) | such appointment will not disrupt the timetable for the IPO in the sole opinion of the sponsoring bank(s) acting reasonably; and
| (ii) | if such replacement director also fails to co-operate (as aforesaid) and is removed in accordance with this Clause 3.5.3, such Shareholder shall forego its rights to make a further appointment to the IPO Board.

| 3.5.4 | The Original BSD Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the obligations of co-operation and assistance imposed upon PepsiCo pursuant to Clauses 3.5.1 to 3.5.3 shall not restrict or modify in any way any rights which PepsiCo may have under the remaining provisions of this Agreement and under the EBAs and the FPA. PepsiCo undertakes for the duration of the IPO Period that it shall exercise such rights (including any purported service of a notice of breach of the EBA expressed to be pursuant to clause 6 thereof) bona fide and for the sole or predominant purpose of advancing or protecting its legitimate interests under the EBAs and FPA and not for any other sole or predominant purpose, including without limitation and by way of example only, for the purpose of:

| (i) | frustrating or delaying either the IPO or the IPO process; or
| (ii) | securing an advantage or a benefit other than an advantage or a benefit under the EBAs or FPA (or any related agreement) which would or might accrue to PepsiCo in the ordinary course of events or which may be secured by PepsiCo by the exercise of its rights thereunder.

| 3.5.5 | BSD shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any disclosure of confidential or other commercially sensitive information, whether in the prospectus or in any announcement or other public document issued by BSD in connection with the IPO, is no more than is reasonably required in order for BSD, its directors and advisers (including without limitation the sponsor to BSD) to satisfy their respective obligations under, or the requirements of:

10

#####

| (i) | any applicable laws, rules and regulations, regulatory bodies or courts of competent jurisdiction (including, for the purposes of the UK, the Financial Services and Markets Act, the Listing Rules, the UKLA, the rules and regulations of the London Stock Exchange (or any other stock exchange on which the BSD Shares are to be listed or quoted) and the rules of the Code); or
| (ii) | any subsequent enquiry or investigation by any governmental, official or regulatory body which is lawfully entitled to require any such disclosure.

| (i) | subject to paragraphs (ii) to (x) below, PepsiCo shall have the right to acquire at the time of (or, where applicable, by participation in) the IPO and each Subsequent Offering such number of BSD Shares as would ensure that, if PepsiCo exercised its rights in full, PepsiCo’s shareholding in BSD would increase from the Initial Percentage to the Maximum Percentage whilst the aggregate shareholding of the Original BSD Shareholders decreases from the Initial Combined Percentage to the Base Combined Percentage;
| (ii) | subject to paragraphs (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (ix) below, in respect of each BSD Share Offering, PepsiCo shall be entitled to acquire, from the Participating Original BSD Shareholders, in the proportions established under Clauses 3.6.3 or 3.6.4 or paragraph (vii) below (as the case may require), up to such number (the “Requisite Number”) of BSD Shares as would ensure that, following such BSD Share Offering and acquisition by PepsiCo (assuming PepsiCo exercises its rights in full), PepsiCo’s shareholding in BSD will have increased, as a proportion of the difference between the Initial Percentage and the Maximum Percentage, to the same extent as the aggregate shareholding of the Original BSD Shareholders has decreased, as a proportion of the difference between the Initial Combined Percentage and the Base Combined Percentage;
| (iii) | subject to paragraph (vii), if PepsiCo exercises its rights to acquire BSD Shares under this Clause 3.6.1, PepsiCo shall acquire and the Participating Original BSD Shareholders shall sell such BSD Shares and the BSD Shares so acquired by PepsiCo shall be in addition to any BSD Shares which are sold by the Participating Original BSD Shareholders in the BSD Share Offering to persons other than PepsiCo; provided always that, if the Participating Original BSD Shareholders do not or would not as a result of the sales made or to be made in the relevant BSD Share Offering hold a sufficient number of shares to enable PepsiCo to acquire the Requisite Number:

| (a) | in the case of the IPO, PepsiCo shall be entitled to participate in the IPO to the extent of any shortfall; and

11

| (b) | in the case of any Subsequent Offering, the provisions of paragraph (viii) shall apply.

| (iv) | if PepsiCo elects not to exercise its rights under this Clause 3.6.1 in relation to any BSD Share Offering (or exercises such rights in part only), PepsiCo shall be treated as if it had exercised its rights in full for the purposes of determining the Requisite Number for subsequent BSD Share Offerings pursuant to paragraph (ii) above (and thus shall not be entitled to make up any shortfall at the time of any Subsequent Offering);
| (v) | if PepsiCo elects not to take up its rights in full under any offer by way of rights made by BSD, then, notwithstanding any rights that would otherwise arise under paragraph (ii) above, PepsiCo shall not be entitled to acquire shares under this Clause 3.6.1 in respect of such offer by way of rights and, for the purposes of determining the Requisite Number for subsequent BSD Share Offerings pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, PepsiCo shall be treated as if it had exercised its rights in full;
| (vi) | if PepsiCo intends to exercise its rights under this Clause 3.6.1 in connection with any BSD Share Offering, it shall provide written confirmation to the Original BSD Shareholders as to the number (the “Specified Number”) of BSD Shares it will acquire in relation to such offering :

| (a) | in the case of the IPO, three Business Days prior to the anticipated date of publication of the relevant prospectus, and PepsiCo’s confirmation of the Specified Number shall create a binding obligation on PepsiCo to acquire the Specified Number of BSD Shares provided that the price per BSD Share is within five per cent. of the price, or of the upper or lower limit of the price range notified to PepsiCo by BSD and such price or price range is subsequently specified in the relevant prospectus provided further that, if a different price or price range is to be specified in the relevant prospectus, the Original BSD Shareholders shall notify PepsiCo forthwith and PepsiCo shall confirm whether or not it wishes to change the Specified Number; and
| (b) | in the case of any Subsequent Offering, within three Business Days of the date on which notice of the Subsequent Offering is given to PepsiCo by any one or more of the Participating Original BSD Shareholders, and PepsiCo’s confirmation of the Specified Number shall create a binding obligation on PepsiCo to acquire such BSD Shares at the price at which the BSD Shares were sold or offered in the Subsequent Offering; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Original BSD Shareholders to give prior notice to PepsiCo of any Subsequent Offering,

|  | provided that in the case of the IPO, if the number of BSD Shares sold by the Original BSD Shareholders in the IPO is less than originally anticipated, the Requisite Number and the Specified Number shall be reduced proportionately;

#####

| (vii) | without prejudice to Clause 3.6.7:

| (a) | when determining the aggregate shareholding the Original BSD Shareholders would have following any BSD Share Offering for the purposes of paragraph (ii) above, any Original BSD Shareholder who would, following such offering, hold 3 per cent. or less of the then issued BSD Shares will be deemed to hold precisely 3 per cent. of the then issued BSD Shares; and
| (b) | notwithstanding Clauses 3.6.3 and 3.6.4, if, as a result of a sale made as part of a BSD Share Offering (or as a result of a sale to PepsiCo under this Clause 3.6.1), a Participating Original BSD Shareholder ceases to hold in excess of 3 per cent. of the then issued BSD Shares (the “Minimum Threshold”), such Participating Original BSD Shareholder shall (save as otherwise agreed between the Participating Original BSD Shareholders) sell no further BSD Shares to PepsiCo unless there is no other Participating Original BSD Shareholder who holds in excess of the Minimum Threshold;

| (viii) | subject to paragraph (vii)(b), in relation to any Subsequent Offering in which any one or more of the Participating Original BSD Shareholder(s) do(es) not hold a sufficient number of BSD Shares to make up its proportion of the Requisite Number, PepsiCo may seek to acquire the aggregate shortfall in the Requisite Number of BSD Shares (the “Shortfall Number”):

| (a) | by making an offer to acquire the Shortfall Number from the other Original BSD Shareholder(s) at the price at which the BSD Shares were sold or offered in the Subsequent Offering; such offer to be capable of acceptance in whole or in part within three Business Days by the other Original BSD Shareholders pro rata to their holding(s) in BSD at the time of such Subsequent Offering (unless the other Original BSD Shareholder(s) agree between them to sell the Requisite Number other than on a pro rata basis); or
| (b) | if, and only if, PepsiCo first makes an offer in accordance with paragraph (a) above and the number of BSD Shares to be acquired by PepsiCo pursuant to the offer, at the expiry of the three Business Day acceptance period referred to in paragraph (a) (the “Acceptance Date”), is less than the Shortfall Number, by way of market purchases of BSD Shares for the balance provided that PepsiCo’s right to make such market purchases shall cease after a period of seven Business Days from the Acceptance Date or such longer period as is necessary to enable PepsiCo to acquire such BSD Shares in compliance with the SARs;

| (ix) | in relation to any Subsequent Offering, if the number of BSD Shares to be sold or, offered by the relevant Original BSD Shareholder(s) constitutes less than 1 per cent. (the “Acquisition Threshold”) of the issued BSD ordinary share capital immediately prior to such Subsequent Offering, PepsiCo shall have no right to acquire any BSD Shares at the time of such Subsequent Offering, but the Requisite Number of BSD Shares which PepsiCo would otherwise have been entitled to acquire under paragraph (ii)

13

#####

|  | above (the “Rolled-up Shares”) shall be added to the number of BSD Shares which PepsiCo would otherwise be able to acquire from the relevant Original BSD Shareholder(s) at the time of the next Subsequent Offering (the “Trigger Offering”) where the number of shares to be sold or offered would be equal to or exceed the Acquisition Threshold;
| (x) | all BSD Shares acquired by PepsiCo pursuant to Clause 3.6.1(ix) from the Original BSD Shareholders as part of a Trigger Offering shall be acquired at the price at which BSD Shares are sold or issued in the Trigger Offering;
| (xi) | save as set out in paragraphs (i) to (x) above and Clause 3.7.2, PepsiCo shall not be entitled to acquire BSD Shares (or other equity securities of BSD) unless:

| (a) | such acquisition is made in connection with or pursuant to an offer (as defined in the Code) for the ordinary share capital of BSD made by PepsiCo in accordance with the Code; or
| (b) | such acquisition is made pursuant to a compromise or arrangement under Section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 providing for the acquisition by PepsiCo of more than 50 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of BSD; or
| (c) | such acquisition is made as a result of an allotment to PepsiCo (pro rata to PepsiCo’s holding of BSD Shares prior to the announcement of the offer) of rights to BSD Shares or other equity securities of BSD under any offer by way of rights made by BSD or PepsiCo subsequently taking up such rights; and

| (xii) | from the Announcement Date until the date which is the earlier of (if applicable) the expiry of the IPO Window without the IPO proceeding to Admission and termination of this Agreement, and subject to Clause 7.2 (but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), PepsiCo shall not be entitled to dispose of BSD Shares or any interest in BSD Shares except by way of:

| (a) | (i) an acceptance of a general offer for the ordinary share capital of BSD made in accordance with the Code or (ii) the provision of an irrevocable undertaking to accept such an offer or (iii) a sale of BSD Shares to an offeror who has announced a firm intention to make an offer (whether or not subject to a pre-condition) for all of the ordinary share capital of BSD under Rule 2.5 of the Code;
| (b) | any disposal pursuant to a compromise or arrangement under Section 425 of the Companies Act 1985;
| (c) | any disposal pursuant to scheme of reconstruction under Section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 in relation to BSD;
| (d) | any disposal of nil paid rights in relation to new BSD Shares allotted to PepsiCo pursuant to an offer by way of rights made by BSD; and
| (e) | any disposal made to satisfy a condition to a waiver granted by the Panel in respect of a requirement on PepsiCo to make a Mandatory Offer.

#####

| 3.6.2 | Subject to Clause 7.2, no Original BSD Shareholder shall dispose of BSD Shares or any interest in BSD Shares upon or after the IPO except that this restriction shall not apply to any disposal made by an Original BSD Shareholder:

| (i) | of BSD Shares in connection with the IPO (including any sale of BSD Shares to PepsiCo at the time of the IPO made pursuant to Clause 3.6.1) in accordance with Clause 3.6.3;
| (ii) | of BSD Shares in connection with any Subsequent Offering (including any sale of BSD Shares to PepsiCo at the time of such Subsequent Offering made pursuant to Clause 3.6.1) in accordance with Clause 3.6.4;
| (iii) | of BSD Shares in connection with any Dilutive Event (pursuant to an offer made by PepsiCo under Clause 3.7.2(i)) in accordance with Clause 3.6.5;
| (iv) | of BSD Shares to one or both of the other Original BSD Shareholders in accordance with Clause 3.6.6;
| (v) | of any nil paid rights in relation to new BSD Shares allotted to such Original BSD Shareholder pursuant to any offer by way of rights made by BSD;
| (vi) | by way of (i) an acceptance of a general offer for the ordinary share capital of BSD made in accordance with the Code or (ii) the provision of an irrevocable undertaking to accept such an offer or (iii) a sale of BSD Shares to an offeror who has announced a firm intention to make an offer (whether or not subject to a pre-condition) for all of the ordinary share capital of BSD under Rule 2.5 of the Code;
| (vii) | of BSD Shares pursuant to a compromise or arrangement under Section 425 of the Companies Act 1985;
| (viii) | of BSD Shares pursuant to scheme of reconstruction under Section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 in relation to BSD; and
| (ix) | of BSD Shares made to satisfy a condition to a waiver granted by the Panel in respect of a requirement on such Original BSD Shareholder to make a Mandatory Offer.

| 3.6.3 | In relation to disposals of BSD Shares to be made by the Original BSD Shareholders in connection with the IPO (including any sales to PepsiCo pursuant to Clause 3.6.1), the Original BSD Shareholders shall consult together and each Original BSD Shareholder shall confirm whether or not it intends to participate in such disposals (each Original BSD Shareholder intending to participate being an “IPO Participant”) and, if there is more than one IPO Participant, each IPO Participant shall, unless otherwise agreed among them, dispose of their BSD Shares pro rata to their holdings in BSD prior to IPO.
| 3.6.4 | In relation to disposals of BSD Shares proposed to be made by any Original BSD Shareholders in connection with any Subsequent Offering (including any sales made to PepsiCo pursuant to Clause 3.6.1), all such disposals shall be made only: (a) following expiry or release by the sponsoring bank(s) of any lock-up agreements entered into by the Original BSD Shareholders at the time of the IPO; and (b) so as to ensure an orderly market is maintained in BSD Shares. Without prejudice to the foregoing, in relation to any Subsequent Offering where an Original

15

#####

|  | BSD Shareholder is proposing, within any period of 7 days, to dispose of BSD Shares constituting 1 per cent. or more of the issued ordinary share capital of BSD:

| (i) | such Original BSD Shareholder shall (subject to applicable law and regulation) notify as soon as is reasonably practicable the other Original BSD Shareholders of its intention to dispose of any or all of its BSD Shares and the intended timing of such disposal;
| (ii) | following such notification, the Original BSD Shareholders shall consult in good faith as soon as reasonably practicable (having regard to the intended timing of the proposed disposal of BSD Shares) in relation to their participation in, the structure of and the number of BSD Shares to be offered or disposed of in such Subsequent Offering; and
| (iii) | where more than one Original BSD Shareholder confirms its intention to participate in any such Subsequent Offering (“Participating Shareholders”), such Participating Shareholders shall, unless otherwise agreed between them, only dispose of their shares simultaneously and through the same selling agent pro rata to their holdings in BSD immediately prior to such Subsequent Offering.

| 3.6.5 | In relation to any offer made to the Original BSD Shareholders by PepsiCo pursuant to Clause 3.7.2(i), each Original BSD Shareholder shall confirm whether or not it intends to accept the offer (in whole or in part) in respect of its pro rata share. If any Original BSD Shareholder confirms it does not intend to accept such offer (or confirms that it accepts the offer in part only), the other Original BSD Shareholder(s) shall be entitled to sell further BSD Shares to enable PepsiCo to acquire the balance (and, if more than one of the other Original BSD Shareholders confirms it intends to sell further BSD Shares, such sales shall be made on a pro rata basis unless they otherwise agree).
| 3.6.6 | If an Original BSD Shareholder wishes to dispose of any BSD Shares to another Original BSD Shareholder, it shall notify both of the other Original BSD Shareholders. If, within five Business Days of such notification, each of the other Original BSD Shareholders confirms an intention to participate in the disposal of such BSD Shares, they shall, unless they agree otherwise, only be permitted to acquire such shares pro rata to their holdings in BSD immediately prior to such disposal.
| 3.6.7 | When an Original BSD Shareholder’s holding of BSD Shares falls to 3 per cent. or below of the issued BSD Shares (the “Minority BSD Shareholder”), all the provisions of this Clause 3.6 (other than Clause 3.6.1(vii)(b)) shall cease to apply to that Minority BSD Shareholder, so that:

| (i) | the Minority BSD Shareholder may not, save as otherwise agreed between the Original BSD Shareholders, sell any BSD Shares to PepsiCo unless and until each Original BSD Shareholder has reduced its holding of BSD Shares to or below the Minimum Threshold of the issued BSD Shares; and
| (ii) | the Minority BSD Shareholder may otherwise dispose of any BSD Shares held by it to any person other than PepsiCo.

| 3.6.8 | Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, each party agrees that it will not make any acquisition of BSD Shares which would give rise to an obligation of

16

#####

|  | another party to make an offer for the equity share capital of BSD under Rule 9.1 of the Code (“Mandatory Offer”). If any Shareholder (the “Acquiring Shareholder”) acquires (or is treated for the purposes of the Code as having acquired) BSD Shares, and such acquisition gives rise to a requirement to make a Mandatory Offer, the following shall apply (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies the other Shareholders may have in relation to such acquisition):

| (i) | the Acquiring Shareholder shall use all reasonable endeavours to obtain a waiver from the Panel and shall promptly make all share sales necessary and take all such other actions as are reasonable to achieve it and, if no waiver is given, shall have sole responsibility for:

| (a) | making a Mandatory Offer in accordance with the Code; and
| (b) | making available sufficient cash resources to satisfy full acceptance of such Mandatory Offer; and

| (ii) | the Acquiring Shareholder shall extend the Mandatory Offer to the other Shareholders.

| 3.6.9 | For the purposes of this Clause 3.6:

| (i) | “acquire” includes to purchase, subscribe for, accept an allotment of, borrow, take options over, take a charge or pledge over or otherwise acquire any right over or interest in shares or other equity securities of BSD (and includes an agreement to do any of the foregoing) and “acquisition” shall be interpreted accordingly; and
| (ii) | “dispose” includes to sell, lend, sell “short”, grant options over, charge, pledge or otherwise dispose of any rights over or interest in shares (and includes any agreement to do any of the foregoing) and “disposal” shall be interpreted accordingly.

| 3.6.10 | Each Shareholder acknowledges that neither the provisions of this Clause 3.6, nor any other provision of this Agreement, is intended to constitute an arrangement pursuant to which such Shareholder would be deemed to be acting in concert with any other Shareholder(s) for the purposes of the Code.

3.7 | Dilutive Events

| 3.7.1 | Subject to Clauses 3.7.2 and 3.7.3, on the occurrence of a Dilutive Event PepsiCo shall be entitled to acquire such number of BSD Shares as would ensure that PepsiCo’shareholding in the enlarged share capital of BSD would, if PepsiCo exercised its rights in full, increase, as a proportion of the difference between the Initial Percentage and the Maximum Percentage, to the same extent in the aggregate shareholding of the Original BSD Shareholders has decreased, as a proportion of the difference between the Initial Combined Percentage and the Base Combined Percentage, as a result of the Dilutive Event (the “Dilutive Acquisition Number”).
| 3.7.2 | PepsiCo shall be entitled to acquire up to the Dilutive Acquisition Number of BSD Shares:

| (i) | by making an offer to acquire such BSD Shares from the Original BSD Shareholder(s) at the closing middle market price for the BSD Shares on

17

#####

|  | the date immediately preceding the making of such offer; such offer to be capable of acceptance in whole or in part within three Business Days of receipt of the offer (the “Acceptance Date”) by the Original BSD Shareholders pro rata to their holding(s) in BSD immediately following the Dilutive Event provided that the other Original BSD Shareholder(s) may agree between them to sell the Dilutive Acquisition Number other than on a pro rata basis; or
| (ii) | if and only if PepsiCo first makes an offer in accordance with paragraph (i) above and the number of BSD Shares in respect of which acceptances have been received by PepsiCo thereunder, is less than the Dilutive Acquisition Number, be entitled to acquire the balance by way of market purchases provided that PepsiCo’s right to make such market purchases shall cease after a period of seven Business Days from the Acceptance Date or such longer period as is necessary to enable PepsiCo to acquire such BSD Shares in compliance with the SARs.

| 3.7.3 | In relation to each Dilutive Event:

| (i) | with respect to the determination of the Dilution Acquisition Number, the provisions of Clauses 3.6.1(iv) and (v) shall apply mutatis mutandis; and
| (ii) | the provisions of Clauses 3.6.1(vii) and (ix) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

3.8 | Illustrative Shareholdings
| For illustrative purposes only, Schedule 1 sets out the relative shareholdings of the Original BSD Shareholders and PepsiCo as a result of the operation of Clauses 3.6.1(ii) and (vii) under various scenarios.
3.9 | Transfer of title
| In relation to all transfers of BSD Shares made by the Original BSD Shareholders to PepsiCo pursuant to Clauses 3.6 and 3.7:

| 3.9.1 | the full legal and beneficial title to such BSD Shares shall be transferred; and
| 3.9.2 | such BSD Shares shall be transferred free from all Encumbrances.

4 | Termination of Existing BSD IPO Agreement
4.1 | Termination
| Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 5.2 of the Existing BSD IPO Agreement, each of the Shareholders and PepsiCo agree that the Existing BSD IPO Agreement shall be terminated upon the signing of this Agreement.
4.2 | Effect of Termination
| Each of the Shareholders and BSD hereby mutually releases and discharges each other party, with effect from the signing of this Agreement, from all obligations, duties, liabilities, losses or expenses arising out of or in any way connected with any provisions of the Existing BSD IPO Agreement.

#####

5 | Termination of this Agreement
5.1 | Termination Events
| Subject to Clause 5.2, this Agreement shall terminate:

| 5.1.1 | if Admission occurs within the IPO Window, on the earlier of:

| (i) | the date of completion of the Final BSD Share Offering; or
| (ii) | three years after the date of Admission (or, if later, 31 December 2008); or

| 5.1.2 | if Admission does not occur within the IPO Window, on 31 December 2008 or, if earlier, the date upon which the BSD Board either resolves that it does not intend to or determines that it is not practicable to proceed with an IPO within the IPO Window.

5.2 | Consequences of Termination

| 5.2.1 | On termination of this Agreement, the provisions of Clause 6 (Confidentiality) and Clause 7 (General Provisions) shall survive termination and, if termination of this Agreement occurs pursuant to Clause 5.1.2, then Clause 2.1 (Board Representation) and Clause 5.3 (Put Option) shall also survive termination; provided that Clause 2.1 shall cease to have effect immediately upon the earlier of:
| 5.2.2 | PepsiCo holding fewer than [613,664] BSD Shares or such other number as is equivalent taking into account any consolidation, subdivision, reconstruction or amalgamation of the BSD share capital;
| 5.2.3 | PepsiCo ceasing to hold in excess of 2.5 per cent. of the issued BSD Shares; and
| 5.2.4 | the occurrence of an event or the giving of a notice of the type referred to in Clause 2.1.1(iv).

5.3 | PepsiCo Put

| 5.3.1 | If there has been:

| (i) | a termination of this Agreement under Clause 5.1.2; and
| (ii) | a termination of the EBAs by Britvic (other than as a result of PepsiCo’s breach) or a non-renewal of the EBAs by Britvic or a termination of the EBAs by PepsiCo as a result of Britvic’s breach,

|  | PepsiCo shall have the right to sell, and require BSD to buy (the “PepsiCo Put”), all (but not some only) of the BSD Shares held (directly or indirectly) by it (the “PepsiCo Shares”) at a price determined in accordance with Clause 5.3.4 below (the “Put Price”).
| 5.3.2 | On the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Clauses 5.3.1(i) and 5.3.1(ii), if PepsiCo wishes to sell the PepsiCo Shares, it shall notify BSD, not later than 5 Business Days following the date on which the later of the two conditions is satisfied, that it wishes to exercise the PepsiCo Put. Following such notification, the Put Price shall be determined in accordance with Clause 5.3.4.
| 5.3.3 | PepsiCo shall notify BSD of the Put Price and, following the notification of such Put Price, the Original BSD Shareholders shall procure that BSD shall acquire the

19

#####

|  | PepsiCo Shares from PepsiCo at the Put Price as soon as reasonably practicable after such notification.
| 5.3.4 | The Put Price for the PepsiCo Shares, for the purposes of Clause 5.3.1, shall mean a price fixed on the basis of a fair market valuation by agreement between PepsiCo and BSD at the relevant time or, in the absence of such agreement, by an independent chartered accountant who is to be appointed by agreement between PepsiCo and BSD (or, failing agreement on such appointment within 7 days of PepsiCo’s notification that it wishes to exercise the PepsiCo Put, such accountant shall be appointed upon the nomination of the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales). Such accountant shall act as an expert not as an arbitrator and his decision shall, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties. For the purposes of determining such fair market valuation, the valuation shall reflect any change in value of the PepsiCo Shares resulting from the termination of this Agreement and the termination or non-renewal of the EBAs.
| 5.3.5 | For the avoidance of doubt, where there has been:

| (i) | a termination of this Agreement under Clause 5.1.1;
| (ii) | a non-renewal of the EBAs by PepsiCo;
| (iii) | a termination of the EBAs by Britvic as a result of PepsiCo’s breach; or
| (iv) | a termination of the EBAs by PepsiCo other than as a result of Britvic’s breach,

|  | then PepsiCo shall have no right, pursuant to Clause 5.3.1, to sell its BSD Shares to BSD.
| 5.3.6 | In relation to any transfer of BSD Shares made by PepsiCo pursuant to this Clause 5.3:

| (i) | PepsiCo shall transfer the full legal and beneficial title to such BSD Shares; and
| (ii) | such BSD Shares shall be transferred free from all Encumbrances.
