Employee Benefits
-----------------
Section 2.01 Base Retirement Plans. (a) As soon as practicable after the
---------------------
date hereof and effective as of a date (the "Base Retirement Plan Assumption
Date") on or before the Cut-off Date, Tupperware shall establish the
Tupperware Base Retirement Plan and a related trust to assume liabilities of
and receive the transfer of assets from the Premark Base Retirement Plan
provided for in this Section 2.01. As of the Base Retirement Plan Assumption
Date, the Tupperware Participants shall cease to be participants in the
Premark Base Retirement Plan and shall become participants (to the extent they
are eligible) in the Tupperware Base Retirement Plan.
(b) Premark shall direct the trustee of the trust funding the Premark Base
Retirement Plan to transfer to the trustee of the trust funding the Tupperware
Base Retirement Plan, in cash, securities, other property or a combination
thereof, as agreed by Premark and Tupperware, an amount equal to (X) less (Y),
----
as adjusted by (Z); where (X) equals that portion of such assets of the
Premark Base Retirement Plan which represents the minimum amount of assets
necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 414(l) of the Code and
Section 4044 of ERISA; where (Y) equals the aggregate payments made from the
trust relating to the Premark Base Retirement Plan in respect of such
participants who are Tupperware Participants from the Base Retirement Plan
Assumption Date through the date the transfer occurs; and where (Z) equals the
amount of the net earnings or losses, as the case may be, from the Base
Retirement Plan Assumption Date through the date the transfer occurs, on the
average of the daily balances of the foregoing and based upon the actual rate
of return earned by the Premark Base Retirement Plan during such period. All
of the foregoing calculations shall be determined by the Enrolled Actuary.
(c) Tupperware and Premark shall, in connection with the transfer described
in this Section 2.01, cooperate in making any and all appropriate filings
required under the Code or ERISA, and the regulations thereunder and any
applicable securities laws, implementing all appropriate communications with
participants, transferring appropriate records, and taking all such other
actions as may be necessary and appropriate to implement the provisions of
this Section 2.01 and to cause such transfer to take place as soon as
practicable after the Base Retirement Plan Assumption Date; provided, however,
that such transfer shall not take place until as soon as practicable after the
receipt of an opinion of Tupperware's counsel satisfactory to Premark's
counsel to the effect that the Tupperware Base Retirement Plan is in form
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related trust is in form
exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. Premark agrees to provide to
Tupperware's counsel such information in the possession of Premark or any
Premark Subsidiary as may be reasonably requested by Tupperware's counsel in
connection with the issuance of such opinion. Premark agrees, during the
period ending with the date of the transfer of assets to the Tupperware Base
Retirement Plan, to cause distributions in respect of participants who are
Tupperware Participants to be made in the ordinary course from the trust
funding the Premark Base Retirement Plan in accordance with applicable law and
pursuant to plan provisions.
(d) Except as specifically set forth in this Section 2.01 and Section 2.12,
upon the completion of the transfer of assets provided for herein, effective
as of the Base Retirement Plan Assumption Date, Tupperware, the Tupperware
Subsidiaries and the Tupperware Base Retirement Plan shall assume, and shall
be solely responsible for, all Liabilities of the Pre-Distribution Group to or
with respect to Tupperware Participants under the Premark Base Retirement
Plan. Tupperware, the Tupperware Subsidiaries and the Tupperware Base
Retirement Plan shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities arising out of
or relating to the Tupperware Base Retirement Plan.
Section 2.02 The Retirement Savings Plans. (a) As soon as practicable after
----------------------------
the date hereof and effective as of a date (the "Retirement Savings Plan
Assumption Date") on or before the Cut-off Date, Tupperware shall establish
the Tupperware Retirement Savings Plan and a related trust to assume
liabilities of and receive the transfer of assets from the Premark Retirement
Savings Plan provided for in this Section 2.02. During the period (if any)
from the Retirement Savings Plan Assumption Date until such transfer of assets
takes place (the "Transition Period"), Tupperware shall cause contributions by
or in respect of Tupperware Participants to the Tupperware Retirement Savings
Plan to be held by the trustee of the Tupperware Retirement
4
Savings Plan in a short term investment fund. During the Transition Period (if
any), distributions in respect of Tupperware Participants shall be made from
the Premark Retirement Savings Plan in accordance with applicable law and
pursuant to plan provisions and Tupperware Participants shall otherwise be
treated as terminated participants under such plan, except that they shall not
be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of entitlement to
distributions or the repayment of outstanding loans solely as a result of
becoming Tupperware Participants. As of the end of the Transition Period or,
if there is no Transition Period, as of the Retirement Savings Plan Assumption
Date, Tupperware Participants shall cease to be participants in the Premark
Retirement Savings Plan and shall, to the extent they are eligible, become
participants in the Tupperware Retirement Savings Plan.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Retirement Savings Plan Assumption
Date, Premark and Tupperware shall take all actions as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to effect the transfer to the Tupperware Retirement
Savings Plan and the related trust of the respective account balances as of
the date of transfer of the participants in the Premark Retirement Savings
Plan who are Tupperware Participants. Such transfer shall be made in cash,
securities, other property or a combination thereof, as agreed by Premark and
Tupperware, but shall be effected, where practicable, in kind, so as to
preserve each such participant's investment election as in effect on the date
of such transfer.
(c) Tupperware and Premark shall cooperate in making all appropriate filings
required under the Code or ERISA, and the regulations thereunder and any
applicable securities laws, implementing all appropriate communications with
participants, transferring appropriate records, and taking all such other
actions as may be necessary and appropriate to implement the provisions of
this Section 2.02 and to cause the transfer of assets pursuant to Section
2.02(b) to take place as soon as practicable after the Retirement Savings Plan
Assumption Date; provided, however, that such transfer shall not take place
until as soon as practicable after the receipt of an opinion of Tupperware's
counsel satisfactory to Premark's counsel to the effect that the Tupperware
Retirement Savings Plan is in form qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code
and the related trust is in form exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code.
(d) Except as specifically set forth in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.12,
upon the completion of the transfer provided for herein, effective as of the
Retirement Savings Plan Assumption Date, Tupperware, the Tupperware
Subsidiaries and the Tupperware Retirement Savings Plan shall assume or
retain, as the case may be, and shall be solely responsible for, all
Liabilities of the Pre-Distribution Group to or with respect to Tupperware
Participants under the Premark Retirement Savings Plan. Tupperware, the
Tupperware Subsidiaries and the Tupperware Retirement Savings Plan shall be
solely responsible for all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the
Tupperware Retirement Savings Plan.
Section 2.03 Welfare Plans. Tupperware shall take, and shall cause the
-------------
Tupperware Subsidiaries to take, all actions necessary or appropriate to
establish, on or before the Cut-off Date, Tupperware Welfare Plans to provide
each Tupperware Participant with benefits substantially similar to the
benefits provided to him or her under the Premark Welfare Plans. From and
after the Cut-off Date, except as specifically set forth in Section 2.12,
Tupperware and the Tupperware Subsidiaries shall assume or retain, as the case
may be, and shall be solely responsible for, all Liabilities of the Pre-
Distribution Group in connection with claims by or in respect of Tupperware
Participants for benefits under the Premark Welfare Plans and the Tupperware
Welfare Plans, whether incurred before, on or after the Cut-off Date. Premark
agrees to provide Tupperware or its designated representative with such
information (in the possession of Premark or a Premark Subsidiary and not
already in the possession of Tupperware or a Tupperware Subsidiary) as may be
reasonably requested by Tupperware in order to carry out the requirements of
this Section 2.03.
Section 2.04 Stock Plans. (a) Premark and Tupperware shall take all action
-----------
necessary or appropriate (including obtaining the consent of the holders of
Premark Options and Premark Phantom SARs, if required) so that each Premark
Option and Premark Phantom SAR held by a Tupperware Participant that is
outstanding as of the Distribution Date shall be replaced with a Tupperware
Option or a Tupperware Phantom SAR, as the case
5
may be, with respect to a number of shares of Tupperware Common Stock equal to
the number of shares subject to such Premark Option or Premark Phantom SAR, as
the case may be, immediately before such replacement, times the Ratio, and
then, if any resultant fractional share of Tupperware Common Stock exists,
rounded [up] [down] to the nearest whole share, and with a per-share exercise
price equal to the per-share exercise price of such Premark Option or Premark
Phantom SAR, as the case may be, immediately before such replacement, divided
by the Ratio. Such Tupperware Option or Tupperware Phantom SAR, as the case
may be, shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions as the
corresponding Premark Option or Premark Phantom SAR, as the case may be,
except that references to Premark shall be changed to refer to Tupperware.
(b) Premark and Tupperware shall take all action necessary (including
obtaining the consent of the holders of Premark Restricted Stock, if
necessary) so that each award of Premark Restricted Stock held by a Tupperware
Participant (including any Tupperware Common Stock issued in the Distribution
with respect thereto) that is outstanding as of the Distribution Date is
converted into an award of a number of shares of Tupperware Restricted Stock
such that the sum of such number and the number of shares of Tupperware Common
Stock issued in the Distribution with respect to such Premark Restricted Stock
equals the number of shares of Premark Restricted Stock comprising such award
immediately before the Distribution Date, times the Ratio, and then, if any
resultant fractional share of Tupperware Common Stock exists, rounded [up]
[down] to the nearest whole share. Such converted award shall be subject to
the same schedule with respect to the lapse of restrictions and the same risks
of forfeiture as the corresponding Premark Restricted Stock immediately before
such conversion, and shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions as the
corresponding Premark Restricted Stock, except that references to Premark
shall be changed to references to Tupperware.
(c) (i) Premark and Tupperware shall take all action necessary or
appropriate (including obtaining the consent of the holders of Premark
Director Options, if required) so that each Premark Director Option held by an
individual who is a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of both
Tupperware and Premark (a "Common Non-Employee Director") and each Premark
Director Option held by an individual who is a non-employee member of the
Board of Directors of Tupperware but is not a member of the Board of Directors
of Premark (a "Tupperware Non-Employee Director") that is outstanding as of
the Distribution Date shall be replaced as set forth below.
(ii) Each such Premark Director Option held by a Common Non-Employee
Director shall be replaced with (i) a Tupperware Director Option and (ii) a
new Premark Director Option, in each case as more fully described below. Such
Tupperware Director Option shall constitute an option to purchase a number of
shares of Tupperware Common Stock equal to one-half the number of shares
subject to such Premark Director Option immediately before such replacement,
times the Ratio, and then, if any resultant fractional share of Tupperware
Common Stock exists, rounded [up] [down] to the nearest whole share, and with
a per-share exercise price equal to the per-share exercise price of such
Premark Director Option immediately before such replacement, divided by the
Ratio. Such Tupperware Director Option shall otherwise have the same terms and
conditions as the Premark Director Option it replaces in part, except that
references to Premark shall be changed to refer to Tupperware. Such new
Premark Director Option shall constitute an option to purchase a number of
shares of Premark Common Stock equal to one-half the number of shares subject
to such Premark Director Option immediately before such replacement, times the
Premark Ratio, and then, if any resultant fractional share of Premark Common
Stock exists, rounded [up] [down] to the nearest whole share, and with a per-
share exercise price equal to the per-share exercise price of such Premark
Director Option immediately before such replacement, divided by the Premark
Ratio.
(iii) Each such Premark Director Option held by a Tupperware Non-Employee
Director shall be replaced with a Tupperware Director Option to purchase a
number of shares of Tupperware Common Stock equal to the number of shares
subject to such Premark Director Option immediately before such replacement,
times the Ratio, and then, if any resultant fractional share of Tupperware
Common Stock exists, rounded [up] [down] to the nearest whole share, and with
a per-share exercise price of such Premark Director Option immediately before
such replacement, divided by the Ratio. Such Tupperware Director Option shall
otherwise have the same terms and conditions as the Premark Director Option it
replaces, except that references to Premark shall be changed to refer to
Tupperware.
