BOTTLING GROUP, LLC

5.125% Senior Note due 2019

     Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
referred to below unless otherwise indicated; provided, that the term “Notes” shall mean the
Obligor’s 5.125% Senior Notes due 2019, issued under the Indenture hereinafter referred to.

     1. INTEREST. Bottling Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Obligor”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 5.125% per annum from
January 20, 2009, until payment of the principal amount hereof has been made or duly provided for.
The Obligor shall pay interest on each Interest Payment Date (or if such day is not a Business Day,
on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on the amount payable on such Interest Payment
Date shall accrue for the intervening period). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid,
from the Issue Date; provided that if there is no existing default or Event of Default relating to
the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the
face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be
July 15, 2009. The Obligor shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law) on overdue
principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note. The
Obligor shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Federal or
State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law) on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same
rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

     2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Obligor shall pay interest on the Notes (except Defaulted Interest)
to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes on the Record Date therefor, even if such Notes
are cancelled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.06 of the Indenture, provided that interest payable on an Interest Payment
Date that is a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date shall be payable to the Person to whom
principal is payable. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at
the office or agency of the Obligor maintained for such purpose as set forth in Section 9.02 of the
Indenture, or, at the option of the Obligor, payment of interest may be made through DTC,
Clearstream International, or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System, to the
Holders thereof. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts.

     3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the successor Trustee
under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and

 

4

Registrar. The Obligor may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to
any Holder. The Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

     4. INDENTURE. The Obligor issued the Notes under the Indenture dated as of March 30, 2006 (as
it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
“Indenture”) between the Obligor and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The terms of the Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture
Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the
Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall
govern and be controlling. The Indenture provides for the issuance of senior notes in one or more
series (the “Senior Notes”) and reference is made to the Indenture for a statement of the
respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Obligor, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes and of the terms upon which the Senior Notes are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face
hereof.

     5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, upon not less than
30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at any time at the option of the Obligor, at the Redemption Price
equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or (2) as
determined by one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation
with the Obligor, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest on the Notes being redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest on
the Notes accrued to the Redemption Date) from the Redemption Date to the Maturity Date discounted
to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points; plus, for (1) or (2)
above, whichever is applicable, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but not including,
the Redemption Date.

     6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Obligor shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

     7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its
registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in
whole multiples of $1,000.

     8. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer
of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar
and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Obligor may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law
or permitted by the Indenture. The Obligor need not exchange or register the transfer of any

 

5

Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any
Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Obligor need not exchange or register the transfer of any
Notes for a period of 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption.

     9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Except as provided in the Indenture, the registered Holder of a
Note on the Registrar’s books may be treated as its owner for all purposes under the Indenture.

     10. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Obligor and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture and the Notes at any time by
the Obligor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes of all series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Indenture provides that each of the following events
constitutes an Event of Default: (i) failure to make any payment of any principal of, or premium,
if any, when due (whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) on the Notes; (ii) failure to
make any payment of interest when due on the Notes, which failure is not cured within 30 days;
(iii) failure of the Obligor to observe or perform any of its other covenants or warranties under
the Indenture for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, which failure is not cured within 90
days after notice is given as specified in the Indenture; (iv) certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization of the Obligor, PBG or any Restricted Subsidiary of PBG; and (v) the
maturity of any Debt of the Obligor, PBG or any Restricted Subsidiary of PBG, other than the Notes,
having a then outstanding principal amount in excess of $75 million shall have been accelerated by
any holder or holders thereof or any trustee or agent acting on behalf of such holder or holders,
in accordance with the provisions of any contract evidencing, providing for the creation of or
concerning such Debt or failure to pay at the stated maturity (and the expiration of any grace
period) any Debt of the Obligor, PBG or any Restricted Subsidiary of PBG having a then outstanding
principal amount in excess of $75 million.

     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount hereof may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     12. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

Exhibit 10.1

AMENDMENT NUMBER 1

TO

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT FOR STANLEY G. ROSENBAUM

     This is Amendment Number 1 to the Severance Agreement by and between BIOSCRIP, INC. (the
“Company”) and Stanley G. Rosenbaum (the “Executive”) dated as of August 2, 2007 (the “Severance
Agreement”).

§ 1.

     Pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Severance Agreement, the Severance Agreement hereby is amended
to add a new Section 3.14 and a new Section 3.15 as follows:

     3.14. The payments, benefits and vesting, if any, to which Executive is entitled under Section
2 (and all other payments, benefits and vesting to which Executive may be entitled) shall be
provided without regard to whether the deductibility of such payments, benefits and vesting would
be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 280G”) and without
regard to whether such payments (or any other payment, benefits and vesting) would subject
Executive to the federal excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under Section
4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”). If any portion of the payments, benefits and vesting to or
for Executive’s benefit (including, but not limited to, payments, benefits and vesting under this
Agreement but determined without regard to this paragraph) constitutes an “excess parachute
payment” within the meaning of Section 280G (the aggregate of such payments being hereinafter
referred to as the “Excess Parachute Payments”), the Company shall promptly pay to Executive an
additional amount (the “gross-up payment”) that after reduction for all taxes (including but not
limited to the Excise Tax) with respect to such gross-up payment equals the Excise Tax with respect
to the Excess Parachute Payments; provided, that to the extent any gross-up payment would be
considered “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
(“Section 409A”), the manner and time of payment, and the provisions of this Section shall be
adjusted to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary) to comply with the requirements
of Section 409A with respect to such payment so that the payment does not give rise to the interest
or additional tax amounts described at Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or Section 409A(b)(4) of the Code.
The determination as to whether Executive’s payments, benefits and vesting include Excess Parachute
Payments and, if so, the amount of such, the amount of any Excise Tax owed with respect thereto,
and the amount of any gross-up payment shall be made at the Company’s expense by such certified
public accounting firm as the Board of Directors may designate prior to a Change of Control.

     3.15. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions
of Section 409A in accordance with the provisions below:

	 	a)	 	The Agreement will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent
with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement to fail to satisfy
Section 409A will have no force and effect until amended to comply therewith (which
amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A). In addition,

 

 

	 	 	 	the parties shall cooperate fully with one another to ensure compliance with Section
409A, including, without limitation, adopting amendments to arrangements subject to
Section 409A and operating such arrangements in compliance with Section 409A.
	 
	 	b)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, to the
extent any payment or benefit to be paid or provided to Executive pursuant to the
Agreement as a result of the termination of his employment constitutes “non-qualified
deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, such payment or benefit shall be paid
or provided to the Executive under the Agreement at such time as the Executive would
be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the
meaning of Section 409A (without regard to whether such “separation from service”
comes before, after or coincides with his termination of employment). For purposes of
clarification, this paragraph shall not cause a forfeiture of any payment or benefits
on the part of Executive, but shall only act as a delay until such time as a
“separation from service” occurs.
	 
	 	c)	 	Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement to the contrary, if any
amount (including imputed income) to be paid to Executive pursuant to the Agreement as
a result of Executive’s termination of employment is “deferred compensation” subject
to Section 409A, and if Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined under Section
409A) as of the termination date, then, to the extent necessary to avoid the
imposition of additional tax or other penalties under Section 409A, the payment of
benefits, if any, scheduled to be paid by the Company to Executive hereunder during
the first six-month period following the date of employment termination shall not be
paid until the date which is the first business day which comes six months and a one
day after the date the Executive has incurred a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 409A. Any deferred compensation payments delayed in accordance
with the terms of this Section shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day following
such six-month and one day period.
	 
	 	d)	 	With respect to items eligible for reimbursement under the terms of the
Agreement, (i) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable
year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in another taxable year,
(ii) no such reimbursement may be exchanged or liquidated for another payment or
benefit, and (iii) any reimbursements of such expenses shall be made no later than the
end of the calendar year following the calendar in which the related expenses were
incurred, except, in each case, to the extent that the right to reimbursement does not
provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A.
	 
	 	e)	 	It is intended that each installment of payments and benefits provided under
the Agreement shall be treated as a separate identified payment for purposes of
Section 409A. Neither the Company nor Executive shall have the right to accelerate or
defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically
permitted or required by Section 409A.

2

 

	 	f)	 	The Company agrees to act in good faith under this Section 3.1 based on the
guidance available from the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service
respecting the proper interpretation of Section 409A, but nothing in this Section 3.1
shall constitute, or be construed as, a covenant by the Company that no payment will
be made or benefit will be provided which will be subject to taxation under Section
409A or as a guarantee or indemnity by the Company with respect to the tax
consequences to any such payment or benefit.

§ 2.

     Except as expressly amended by this Amendment Number 1, the Severance Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect.

§ 3.

     This Amendment Number 1 shall be effective as of December 31, 2008.
