Exhibit 10.2
FORM OF
PBG 2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
This document sets forth terms and conditions for the grant of options by
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation having its principal
office at Xxx Xxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 ("PBG") to the individual (the
"Optionee") named in a grant notice provided separately to such individual (the
"Grant Notice") to purchase shares of PBG Common Stock pursuant to the
provisions of the PBG 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). By accepting
this grant of options, this document becomes the Optionee's enforceable
agreement ("Agreement") to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth below,
as well as the provisions of the Plan.
1. Grant. In consideration of the Optionee remaining in the employ of PBG,
or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), PBG
granted on [ ] (the "Grant Date") to the Optionee, the right and option to
purchase the number of shares of PBG Common Stock set forth in the Grant Notice,
par value $.01 per share, at a price per share of $[ ] (the "Option
Exercise Price"), which equals the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of a
share of PBG Common Stock on the Grant Date. The right to purchase each such
share is referred to herein as a "Year 200_ Option". The Year 200_ Options are
not incentive stock options (as defined in Section 422(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).
2. Exercisability. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Year 200_ Options shall vest and become exercisable over a [ ]-year
period. The Year 200_ Options shall be exercisable through the day preceding the
tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Option Term"), unless earlier
terminated as provided herein.
3. Exercise Procedure. Once exercisable and until terminated, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Year 200_
Options may be exercised pursuant to procedures that the Compensation and
Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") or
its delegate shall establish from time to time, including, without limitation,
procedures regarding the frequency of exercise and the minimum number of Year
200_ Options which may be exercised at any time. The Optionee may exercise the
Year 200_ Options by giving an exercise notice to PBG or its delegate in the
manner specified by the Committee or its delegate. The current procedures for
exercise are described in the Prospectus related to the Plan. From time to time,
the Committee or its delegate may change or adopt additional procedures relating
to the exercise of the Year 200_ Options. The aggregate Option Exercise Price
for the shares being purchased, together with any amount which the Company may
be required to withhold upon such exercise in respect of applicable foreign,
federal (including FICA), state and local taxes, must be paid in full at the
time of issuance of such shares. Such payment may be made by using the cashless
exercise procedure. In addition, unless otherwise provided by the Committee,
such payment may be satisfied by tendering (either actually or through a
certification procedure) previously acquired shares of PBG Common Stock that the
Optionee has held for at least six (6) months (or such other period as may be
specified by then applicable accounting standards). If other arrangements have
not been made, the Optionee shall satisfy the requirement to withhold applicable
taxes by having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market
Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to not more than the minimum
amount of tax required to be withheld with respect to the
exercise unless a fractional share is payable in which case, such minimum amount
plus the next higher share will be withheld.
4. Effect of Death, Retirement, Total Disability and Termination of
Employment. The Year 200_ Options shall automatically expire upon, and no
options may be exercised after, the earlier of (a) the expiration of the Option
Term and (b) the tenth business day following the date the Optionee's employment
with the Company terminates; provided, however, that if such termination occurs
by reason of the Optionee's Retirement (as defined below) or Total Disability
(as defined below), then the Optionee shall be vested with and have the right to
exercise a portion of the Year 200_ Options which is in proportion to the
Optionee's active service during the period commencing on the Grant Date and
ending on the day preceding the third anniversary of the Grant Date, and such
Year 200_ Options may be exercised during the Option Term in accordance with
this Agreement; provided further, however, that if such termination occurs by
reason of the Optionee's death, then the Optionee's legal representative (or any
person to whom the options may be transferred by will or the applicable laws of
descent and distribution), shall be fully vested with and have the right to
exercise all of the Year 200_ Options and such options may be exercised during
the Option Term in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no Year
200_ Options shall become vested after the date the Optionee's employment with
the Company terminates. However, if such termination is through a
Company-approved transfer to an allied organization, the Year 200_ Options shall
vest immediately prior to such transfer and employment with the allied
organization shall be treated as employment by the Company for all purposes of
this Agreement (including Section 5).
5. Misconduct. If the Committee or its delegate determines that the
Optionee has committed "Misconduct" at any time prior to, or within twelve
months after, the exercise of any Year 200_ Option, then the Committee may, in
its sole discretion: (i) cancel any outstanding Year 200_ Option and/or
(ii) require the Optionee to pay to the Company any and all gains realized from
any Year 200_ Options which were exercised within the twelve month period
immediately preceding the date of such cancellation (or if there is no
cancellation, the date on which such claim for payment is made). The Optionee
commits Misconduct if the Committee or its delegate determines that the
Optionee: (a) violated any agreement between the Company and the Optionee,
including but not limited to a violation relating to the disclosure of
confidential information or trade secrets, the solicitation of employees,
customers, suppliers, licensors or contractors, or the performance of
competitive services; (b) engaged in any act which is considered by the
Committee to be contrary to the Company's best interests, including, but not
limited to, recruiting or soliciting employees of the Company; (c) violated the
Company's Code of Conduct or engaged in any other activity which constitutes
gross misconduct; (d) engaged in unlawful trading in the securities of PBG or of
any other company based on information gained as a result of his or her
employment with the Company; (e) disclosed to an unauthorized person or misused
confidential information or trade secrets of the Company; (f) made any statement
(whether written, oral or electronic), or conveyed any information about the
Company which is disparaging or which reflects negatively upon the Company
unless required by law or pursuant to a Company policy; or (g) Competed (as
defined below) with the Company. This paragraph shall also apply if the Optionee
commits Misconduct after his or her employment with the Company terminates.
6. Adjustment for Change in Common Stock. In the event of (a) any change in
the outstanding shares of PBG Common Stock by reason of any split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination
or exchange of shares,
2
(b) any separation of a corporation (including a spin-off or other distribution
of assets of the Company to its shareholders), (c) any partial or complete
liquidation, or (d) other similar corporate change, such equitable adjustments
shall be made in the Year 200_ Options as the Committee determines are necessary
and appropriate, including, if necessary, an adjustment in the Option Exercise
Price and in the maximum number or kind of shares subject to the Year 200_
Options (including the conversion of shares subject to Year 200_ Options from
PBG Common Stock to stock of another entity). Such adjustment shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan and this Agreement.
7. Nontransferability. Unless the Committee specifically determines
otherwise: (a) the Year 200_ Options are personal to the Optionee and, during
his or her lifetime, may be exercised only by the Optionee, and (b) the Year
200_ Options shall not be transferable or assignable, other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported transfer or assignment
shall be null and void.
8. Buy-Out of Option Gains. The Committee shall have the right, at any
time, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Optionee, to cancel
any Year 200_ Options and pay to the Optionee the difference between the option
exercise price of the Year 200_ Options and the Fair Market Value of the shares
covered by the Year 200_ Options as of the date the Committee gives written
notice (the "Buy-Out Notice") of its intention to exercise such right. Payments
of such buy-out amounts pursuant to this provision shall be effected by PBG as
promptly as possible after the date of the Buy-Out Notice and may be made in
cash, in shares of PBG Common Stock or partly in cash and partly in PBG Common
Stock, as the Committee deems advisable. To the extent payment is made in shares
of PBG Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing the
amount of the payment to be made by the Fair Market Value of a share of PBG
Common Stock at the date of the Buy-Out Notice. In no event shall PBG be
required to deliver a fractional share of PBG Common Stock in satisfaction of a
buy-out hereunder. Payments of any such buy-out amounts shall be made net of any
applicable foreign, federal (including FICA), state and local withholding taxes.
9. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have
the meanings set forth below:

produced, marketed or sold by the Company; or (ii) any action or omission which
diverts customers or suppliers from the Company.
(b) "Fair Market Value" means an amount equal to the average of the high

the next preceding day on which sales were made on such Exchange), except that
such average price shall be rounded up to the nearest one-fourth.
(c) "Retirement" shall have the meaning (i) used in the PBG Salaried
Employees Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"), as then in effect, whether it
occurs (without limitation) on the Optionee's Early Retirement Date, Normal
Retirement Date or Late Retirement
3
Date (each as defined in the Retirement Plan), or (ii) in the absence of such
Retirement Plan being applicable to the Optionee, as determined by the Committee
in its sole discretion.
(d) "Total Disability" shall mean becoming totally and permanently

Agreement shall be addressed to PBG's Executive Compensation Group at Xxx Xxxxx
Xxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or such other address as PBG may hereafter
designate to the Optionee. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly

postage prepaid, with the federal postal service.
11. Binding Effect.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any

successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of PBG
expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and
to the same extent that PBG would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Optionee or his or her legal representative and any person to whom the Year 200_
Options may be transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and
distribution.
12. No Contract of Employment; Agreement's Survival. This Agreement is not
a contract of employment, nor does it impose on the Company any obligation to
retain the Optionee in its employ. This Agreement shall survive the termination
of the Optionee's employment for any reason.
13. Amendment; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived unless agreed to in writing and signed by the Committee. Any such
amendment to this Agreement that is adverse to the Optionee shall not be
effective unless and until the Optionee consents, in writing, to such amendment.
The failure to exercise, or any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
under this Agreement shall not waive any right, power or remedy which the
Company has under this Agreement.
14. Severability or Reform by Court. In the event that any provision of
this Agreement is deemed by a court to be broader than permitted by applicable
law, then such provision shall be reformed (or otherwise revised or narrowed) so
that it is enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be declared by a court to be invalid or
unenforceable to any extent, the validity or enforceability of the remaining

other Plan information and stockholder information are available by written
request to the Company secretary.
16. Plan Controls. The Year 200_ Options and the terms and conditions set
forth herein are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan
and any operating guidelines or other policies or regulations which govern
administration of the Plan, which shall be controlling. PBG reserves its rights
to amend or terminate the Plan at any time without the consent of the Optionee;
provided, however, that Year 200_ Options outstanding under the Plan at the time
of such action shall not be adversely affected thereby. All interpretations or
determinations of the Committee or its delegate shall be final, binding and
conclusive upon the Optionee (and his or her legal representatives and any
recipient of a transfer of the Year 200_ Options) on any question arising
hereunder or under the Plan, the operating guidelines or other policies or
regulations which govern administration of the Plan.
17. Rights to Future Grants. By accepting the Year 200_ Options, the
Optionee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the award and acceptance of Year 200_
Options pursuant to this Agreement does not entitle the Optionee to future
grants of stock options or other awards in the future under the Plan or any
other plan; (ii) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is
discretionary in nature, and may be modified, amended or terminated by the
Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in this Agreement;
(iii) this option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for
any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance,
termination, redundancy, bonuses, retirement payments or similar payment insofar
as permitted by law; (iv) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages
shall arise from termination or diminution in value of this option or of shares
purchased through exercise of this option resulting from the termination of
Optionee's employment by the Company.

approval under, make all required notifications under and comply with all laws,
rules and regulations applicable to the ownership of stock options and stock and
the exercise of stock options, including, without limitation, currency and

will transfer Plan Administration Data internally as necessary for the purpose
of implementation, administration and management of the Optionee's participation
in the Plan, and PBG and any subsidiary included in the Company may each further
transfer Plan Administration Data to any third parties assisting the Company in
