(i) During the period commencing as of the date next following the Effective Date and ending October 31, 2005 (the "Severance Period"), the Company shall pay to the Executive, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices, amounts equal to the Executive's base salary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, at an annual rate of $312,000 per year, as adjusted each April 1st in accordance with increases in the Consumer Price Index from the previous calendar year for All Urban Consumers for the U.S. City Average for All Items, 1982-84=100. (ii) Notwithstanding the death, retirement, resignation, or termination of employment contemplated hereby, each stock option granted to the Executive to purchase shares of common stock, par value $.01, of Tupperware ("Tupperware Common Stock") pursuant to the Tupperware Corporation 1996 Incentive Plan, the Tupperware Corporation 2000 Incentive Plan, the Tupperware Corporation 2002 Incentive Plan or any other stock option plan adopted by Tupperware (each, a "Tupperware Plan") shall: (A) to the extent vested as of the Effective Date, be exercisable and remain vested, non-forfeitable, and exercisable until the date that is six years following the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of the stock option agreement relating thereto and the applicable Tupperware Plan (to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement), (a) by the Executive; (b) upon the death of the Executive, by the executor, administrator or personal representative of the Executive; or (c) upon the legal incapacity of the Executive, by the legal representative of the Executive; and (B) to the extent not fully vested as of the Effective Date, continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule contained in the applicable stock option agreement as if the Executive were still employed by Tupperware, become non-forfeitable and exercisable when vested and thereafter remain vested, non-forfeitable, and exercisable until the date that is six years following the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of the stock option agreement relating thereto and the applicable Tupperware Plan (to the extent not inconsistent with the terms 2 of this Agreement), (a) by the Executive; (b) upon the death of the Executive, by the executor, administrator or personal representative of the Executive; or (c) upon the legal incapacity of the Executive, by the legal representative of the Executive. All provisions of such stock option agreements that conflict with the foregoing in any manner shall be disregarded and shall be deemed amended accordingly as of the Effective Date.
