RETIREMENT PLANS AND SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN. (a) Grace, New Grace and Grace-Conn. shall take all steps necessary or appropriate so that, effective no later than the Distribution Date: (i) one or more members of the New Grace Group are the sole sponsors of the Salaried Retirement Plan, the SERP and the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan; and (ii) one or more members of the Packco Group are the sole sponsors of the Union Retirement Plan. Such steps shall include, without limitation, the appointment or reappointment by New Grace (by action after the Distribution Date to approve or ratify such appointment or reappointment) of all named fiduciaries, trustees, custodians, recordkeepers and other fiduciaries and service providers to the Salaried Retirement Plan, the SERP and the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan, and the appointment or reappointment by Grace of all named fiduciaries, trustees, custodians, recordkeepers and other fiduciaries and service providers to the Union Retirement Plan. (b) Effective as of the Distribution Date, the Packco Employees shall cease accruing benefits under the Salaried Retirement Plan, the SERP and the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan. As promptly as practicable following the Distribution Date, and effective as of the Distribution Date, Grace intends to implement a program for Packco Employees who participated in the Salaried Retirement Plan before the Distribution Date designed to substantially make up for any anticipated material adverse impact on them resulting from the termination of such participation as of the Distribution Date. Such program will assume that each such Packco Participant works as an employee until normal retirement (age 65) and that he or she will achieve a reasonable investment return on his or her account in the Sealed Air Corporation Profit Sharing Plan. Upon the implementation of such program by Grace, New Grace shall (i) cause the Salaried Retirement Plan to be amended so that, effective immediately before the Distribution Date: (A) the accrued benefit of each Packco Employee who is a participant therein is increased by crediting such Packco Employee with an additional year of service; (B) the accrued benefit of each such Packco Employee who is at least 40 years old as of the Distribution Date is also increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 13 percent of the amount of such accrued benefit (after giving effect to the increase described in clause (A) of this sentence) or (y) the increase that results from crediting such Packco Employee with an additional four years of service, and (C) the accrued benefits of all such Packco Employees, as so increased, shall be fully vested as of the Distribution Date; or (ii) provide additional retirement benefits to such Packco Employees as a group having, in the aggregate, a value substantially equivalent to the increased benefits described in clause (i); provided, that the aggregate expense associated with the benefits described in clause (i) or (ii) (as applicable) shall be limited to the extent necessary so that the Accrued Benefit Obligation, calculated in accordance with FAS 87 ("ABO"), of such benefits does not exceed $15 million. Such ABO shall be determined by Actuarial Sciences Associates ("ASA") (c) Effective as of the Distribution Date, the New Grace Group shall assume or retain (as applicable) all Liabilities relating to or arising under the Salaried Retirement Plan and the SERP, including without limitation for benefits payable thereunder to Packco Participants. Effective as of the Distribution Date, the Packco Group shall assume or retain (as applicable) all Liabilities relating to or arising under the Union Retirement Plan. (i) Effective immediately after the Effective Time, Grace shall establish, cause to be established or designate a defined benefit pension plan (the "Packco Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan") to provide benefits and assume liabilities and accept a transfer of assets from the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan, as provided for in this Section 4.01(d). (ii) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, following (A) the receipt by New Grace of a copy of a favorable determination letter or Grace's certification to New Grace, in a manner reasonably acceptable to New Grace, that the Packco Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and (B) the receipt by Grace of a copy of a favorable determination letter or New Grace's certification to Grace, in a manner reasonably acceptable to Grace, that the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, New Grace shall direct the trustee of the trust funding the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan to transfer to the trustee of the trust established to fund the Packco Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan the amount described in Section 4.01(d)(iii) below. Such transfer shall be in cash unless otherwise agreed by Grace and New Grace. As of the date of such transfer, and effective immediately after the Effective Time, the Packco Group and the Packco Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan shall assume all Liabilities for benefits payable to Packco Participants under the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan, and the New Grace Group and the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan shall retain no Liabilities for such benefits. (iii) The amount transferred pursuant to this Section 4.01(d) shall be an amount equal to (A) less (B), as adjusted by (C); where (A) equals a portion of the assets of the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan having a fair market value equal to the ABO as of the Distribution Date attributable to Packco Participants; where (B) equals the aggregate payments made from the trust funding the Hourly Non-Union Retirement Plan in respect of Packco Participants from the Effective Time through the date the transfer occurs; and where
