Maximum Ownership Percentage as a result of a reduction in the number of
Voting Securities outstanding (including, without limitation, as a result of
a purchase of Common Stock by the Company) (such excess, the "BUY-BACK
EXCESS"), then the Shareholder shall, or shall cause the Shareholder Group
to, consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, promptly (in any event,
prior to the earliest to occur of (x) the record date for the next annual or
special meeting of shareholders of the Company, (y) the record date for the
taking of any action of shareholders of the Company by written consent or (z)
the purchase of any additional Voting Securities by any member of the
Shareholder Group) take all action necessary to reduce the amount of Voting
Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder Group by the amount of such
Buy-Back Excess in the following manner and order:

                     (i)   First, for purposes of clauses (ii) and (iii)
        below, the Buy Back Excess shall be reduced by the amount, if any,
        of Voting Securities received by the PepsiCo Group as an Aggregate
        Contingent Payment (as defined in the Merger Agreement), to the
        extent such Aggregate Contingent Payment has not been previously
        used to reduce the Buy-Back Excess pursuant to this Section.

                     (ii)  Second, by Transferring to a Person other than the
        Significant Shareholders the pro rata amount (based on the relative
        amounts of Voting Securities purchased by each of the Shareholder
        Group and the PepsiCo Group since August 18, 2000) of Voting
        Securities, if any, purchased by the Shareholder Group since August
        18, 2000;

                   (iii) Third, by Transferring to a Person other than the
        Significant Shareholders the pro rata amount of any remaining
        Buy-Back Excess (based on the relative Total Ownership Percentages,
        after giving effect to (i) and (ii) above,

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

          of the Shareholder Group and the PepsiCo Group immediately prior to
          the time when the Combined Maximum Ownership Percentage was exceeded).

                     (iv) Fourth, notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum
          number of Voting Securities that the Shareholder Group shall be
          required to Transfer pursuant to (ii) and (iii) above shall not
          exceed the amount that would be required to be Transferred if the
          PepsiCo Group made its corresponding pro rata Transfers consistent
          with (ii) and (iii) above.

          (c)  If at any time the Shareholders become aware that the
Significant Shareholders' Total Ownership Percentage exceeds the Combined
Maximum Ownership Percentage, other than as a result of a reduction in the
total number of Voting Securities (which situation shall be governed by
paragraph (b) above) or as permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
then the Shareholders shall, or shall cause the Shareholder Group to,
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, promptly (in any event,
prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the record date for the next annual or
special meeting of shareholders of the Company, (ii) the record date for the
taking of any action of shareholders of the Company by written consent or
(iii) the purchase of any additional Voting Securities by any member of the
Shareholder Group) take all action necessary to reduce the amount of Voting
Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder Group such that the
Significant Shareholders' Total Ownership Percentage is not greater than the
Combined Maximum Ownership Percentage; PROVIDED that if the Shareholder
becomes aware that the Significant Shareholders' Total Ownership Percentage
exceeds the Combined Maximum Ownership Percentage due to an acquisition by a
member of the PepsiCo Group of Voting Securities or the addition to the
PepsiCo Group of a new Affiliate that Beneficially Owns Voting Securities,
the Shareholder shall promptly inform the Company of such fact but shall not
be required to reduce the amount of Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by
the Shareholder Group due to such event so long as the Shareholder Group is
in compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

         (d)   During the term of this Agreement, if the Company purchases
shares of Common Stock from the public, whether by tender offer, open market
purchase or otherwise (a "REPURCHASE"), the Company shall contemporaneously
with the Repurchase offer to purchase from the Shareholder Group, on the same
terms and conditions, including price, as in the Repurchase, a percentage of
those shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder Group
equal to the percentage of shares of Common Stock to be Repurchased from the
Beneficial Owners of shares of Common Stock other than the Shareholder Group
(the "BUY-BACK OFFER"). The Company shall provide notice to the Shareholders
of its intention to engage in a Repurchase and of the mechanism by which the
Repurchase shall occur not less than thirty (30) days in advance of the date
on which the Repurchase is to be consummated, and the Shareholders shall
provide notice to the Company within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice
of whether the Shareholder Group intends to accept the Buy-Back Offer.

         Section 3.3. TOP-UP RIGHTS. During the term of this Agreement, if
the Shareholder Group's Total Ownership Percentage is below the Maximum
Ownership Percentage and the Significant Shareholders' Total Ownership
Percentage is below the Combined Maximum Ownership Percentage, the
Shareholder Group may at its option purchase Voting Securities from time to
time in the open market or otherwise in an amount not in excess of the amount
that would

                                     -9-

<PAGE>

cause either (x) the Shareholder Group's Total Ownership Percentage to exceed
the Maximum Ownership Percentage or (y) the Significant Shareholders' Total
Ownership Percentage to exceed the Combined Maximum Ownership Percentage.

         Section 3.4. CHARTER AND BY-LAWS. During the term of this Agreement
the Company shall not, and the Shareholder Group shall not, and shall not
facilitate any effort to, amend, alter or repeal, or propose the amendment,
alteration or repeal of, any provision of the Charter or the By-Laws in any
manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. If at any time
during the term of this Agreement the provisions of this Agreement shall
conflict with the provisions of the Charter or the By-Laws, the parties shall
use all reasonable efforts, consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities,
to cause the provisions of the Charter and the By-Laws to be brought into
conformity with the provisions of this Agreement.

         Section 3.5. RIGHTS AGREEMENT. During the term of this Agreement,
the Company hereby agrees not to (i) amend any provision of the Rights
Agreement in any manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement or the Merger Agreement and which adversely affects the rights of
the Shareholder Group under the terms of this Agreement or (ii) adopt any new
rights agreement which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or
the Merger Agreement and which adversely affects the rights of the
Shareholder Group under the terms of this Agreement.

         Section 3.6. NO AGREEMENTS. During the term of this Agreement,
except as specifically contemplated in Section 3.7, no member of the
Shareholder Group shall, directly or indirectly, enter into any agreement or
other understanding with any member of the PepsiCo Group with respect to the
holding, voting, acquisition or disposition of Voting Securities.

         Section 3.7. DAKOTA HOLDINGS. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 3.6, members of the Shareholder Group (whether existing or newly
formed) and members of the PepsiCo Group may be parties to the Amended and
Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Dakota Holdings, attached as
Annex A to this Agreement (the "DAKOTA HOLDINGS AGREEMENT"), and to hold
interests in Dakota Holdings pursuant to the Dakota Holdings Agreement,
PROVIDED that (i) the Dakota Holdings Agreement expressly provides that (x)
the members of the Shareholder Group who are parties to the Dakota Holdings
Agreement have sole power with respect to the voting of that percentage of
the Voting Securities owned by Dakota Holdings equal to the Class A
Percentage Interest (as defined in the Dakota Holdings Agreement) (the "CLASS
A PERCENTAGE") of the Shareholder Group members and with respect to the
voting of such Voting Securities members of the PepsiCo Group shall have no
power, influence or discretion, and (y) the members of the PepsiCo Group who
are parties to the Dakota Holdings Agreement ultimately have sole power with
respect to the voting of their Class A Percentage of the Voting Securities
owned by Dakota Holdings and with respect to the voting of such Voting
Securities members of the Shareholder Group shall have no power, influence or
discretion which is not subject to the ultimate power of the PepsiCo Group to
direct the voting; and (ii) Dakota Holdings shall not take any action to
acquire, directly or indirectly, Beneficial Ownership of any additional
Voting Securities (excluding any Voting Securities acquired pursuant to
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including any Contingent
Payment Acquisitions) and excluding Voting Securities acquired through stock
dividends on then-owned Voting Securities and excluding the acquisition of
Voting Securities pursuant to the

                                    -10-

right of Pohlad Companies to acquire Common Stock with a value of $25 million
from the PepsiCo Group, in connection with the Merger). So long as the
proviso in the preceding sentence is complied with, for purposes of
calculating the Shareholder Group's Total Ownership Percentage, those Voting
Securities over which a member of the PepsiCo Group has the sole powers
described in clause (y) of clause (i) in the proviso in the preceding
sentence shall not be considered Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder Group
and a transfer of interests in Dakota Holdings from a member of the
Shareholder Group to a member of the PepsiCo Group shall be permitted with
the consent of the Affiliated Transaction Committee (or, if such Committee
shall not be in existence, by a committee of the Board composed entirely of
Independent Directors), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         Section 3.8. SPECIAL MEETINGS REQUESTED BY THE SHAREHOLDER;
NOMINATIONS. In the event that during the term of this Agreement the
Shareholder Group requests a special meeting of the stockholders of the
Company in accordance with the By-Laws, or the Shareholder Group nominates an
alternative slate of directors to the slate proposed by the Board at any
annual meeting of stockholders of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws,
the Company hereby agrees that the Company shall not, without the
Shareholders' consent, from the date of receipt of such request for a special
meeting or the date of receipt of such nomination, as the case may be, until
the adjournment of the requested special meeting or the annual meeting, as
the case may be, (i) take any action effecting a material change in its
capital structure, (ii) declare or pay a dividend (other than any regular
quarterly dividend), (iii) materially increase the compensation of any
executive officer or (iv) take any material action not in the ordinary course
of business; PROVIDED that this provision shall not restrict the ability of
the Company to comply with commitments entered into prior to the date of such
request.

         Section 3.9. OPTIONS. The Company shall not grant to any member of
the Shareholder Group any options to purchase Common Stock unless such grant
is approved by the Affiliated Transaction Committee (or, if such Committee
shall not be in existence, by a committee of the Board composed entirely of
Independent Directors).

                              ARTICLE IV

                  BOARD COMPOSITION; CHIEF EXECUTIVE

         Section 4.1. BOARD COMPOSITION; CHIEF EXECUTIVE. (a) As of the

         (b)  Immediately following the Effective Time, Robert Pohlad shall
be elected Chief Executive Officer of the Company by the Board.

                                    -11-

<PAGE>

         Section 5.2. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate upon
written agreement of the Company (which shall require the approval of the
Affiliated Transaction Committee (or, if such Committee shall not be in
existence, by a committee of the Board composed entirely of Independent
Directors)) and the Shareholders at any time to terminate this Agreement,
which termination shall occur at a time to be fixed in such mutual agreement.

                              ARTICLE VI

                             MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 6.1. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Each party hereto acknowledges that
it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result
from any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that the
remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of such provisions
would likely be inadequate and, accordingly, agrees that each other party
shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have, be
entitled to seek such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available
from any court of competent jurisdiction to compel specific performance of,
or restrain any party from violating, any of such provisions. In connection
with any action or proceeding for injunctive relief, each party hereto hereby
waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and
agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of
this Agreement specifically enforced against him or it, without the necessity
of posting bond or other security against him or it, and consents to the
entry of injunctive relief against him or it enjoining or restraining any
breach or threatened breach of such provisions of this Agreement.

        Section 6.2. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding
upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Company
and by the Shareholders and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, and no such term or provision is for the benefit of, or intended to
create any obligations to, any other Person.

         Section 6.3. AMENDMENTS; WAIVER. (a) This Agreement may be amended
only by an agreement in writing executed by the parties hereto. Any approval
of an amendment of this Agreement upon the part of the Company shall require
the approval of the Affiliated Transaction Committee (or, if such Committee
shall not be in existence, by a committee of the Board composed entirely of
Independent Directors) at a duly convened meeting thereof.

         (b)  Either party may waive in whole or in part any benefit or right
provided to it under this Agreement, such waiver being effective only if
contained in a writing executed by the waiving party. No failure by any party
to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or
condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent
upon breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any
other covenant, duty, agreement or condition, nor shall any delay or omission
of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the
exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter. Any waiver of any
benefit or right provided to the Company under this Agreement shall require
the approval of a majority of the Board and approval of the Affiliated
Transaction Committee (or, if such Committee shall not be in existence, by a
committee of the Board composed entirely of Independent Directors) at a duly
convened meeting thereof.
