Exhibit 10.4 MAFCO WORLDWIDE CORPORATION
BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN
(as amended and restated effective January 1, 2009) The
purpose of this document is to restate the Mafco Worldwide
Corporation Benefit Restoration Plan (the " BRP ") effective
January 1, 2009 as required under Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended, (the " Code "). This
restatement includes provisions relating both to benefits that are
subject to Section 409A of the Code and benefits not subject
to Section 409A of the Code. 1) Background; Purpose of
Plan .
|
|
a)
|
|
The BRP . The Mafco Worldwide Corporation Benefit
Restoration Plan was originally established effective as of
January 1, 1994 to supplement benefits under the Mafco
Worldwide Corporation Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the "
Tax-Qualified Plan "): the BRP provided pension benefits on
a portion of participant compensation disregarded under the
Tax-Qualified Plan due to the limits on pensionable compensation
imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, as amended by OBRA
‘93. The BRP was subsequently amended and restated, effective
as of January 1, 1997, to increase the amount of compensation
(disregarded under the Tax-Qualified Plan) with respect to which
participants could earn pension benefits hereunder, and was amended
and restated effective February 15, 2001 in accordance with
the 2001 plan restructuring described in 1(d) below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
|
The BRP Sponsors . This BRP was originally sponsored by a
predecessor company also named MAFCO Worldwide Corporation ("
Old MAFCO "). On November 25, 1996, Old MAFCO was
merged with and into Pneumo Abex Corporation (" Pneumo ")
with Pneumo being the surviving corporation. In conjunction with
this merger, Pneumo assumed all of the rights, liabilities and
obligations of Old MAFCO with respect to Old MAFCO’s employee
benefit plans, including the Tax-Qualified Plan and this BRP,
including the sponsorship thereof. On October 29, 2004, in
connection with a corporate reorganization, Pneumo transferred to a
newly created company, MAFCO Worldwide Corporation (the "
Company "), all of the assets and liabilities associated
with the licorice products business of Pneumo including all of the
rights, liabilities and obligations of Pneumo with respect its
employee benefit plans, including the Mafco Worldwide Corporation
Replacement Defined Benefit Pension Plan and this BRP, including
the sponsorship thereof.

2001 Plan Restructuring . The Company restructured its
retirement program in the year 2001: (i) effective as of the
close of business on February 15, 2001, participants in the
Tax-Qualified Plan ceased to earn any additional pension
|
|
|
|
|
benefits under the Tax-Qualified Plan, in connection with the
termination of the Tax-Qualified Plan (and with the pension
benefits otherwise payable under the Tax-Qualified Plan being
thereafter instead provided exclusively under Group Annuity
Contract No. 15151 GAC, issued by the John Hancock Life
Insurance Company (the " Hancock Contract "); and
(ii) effective February 15, 2001, the Company established
the Mafco Worldwide Corporation Replacement Defined Benefit Pension
Plan (the " Tax-Qualified Replacement Plan "), to continue
the program of pension benefits previously provided by the
terminated Tax-Qualified Plan.

participant (or his or her beneficiary) a benefit equal to the
excess of:
|
|
|
i)
|
|
the benefit such person would have received under the

b)
|
|
Rule for Certain Participants Entitled to Benefits Under the
Hancock Contract . With respect to an individual who is not a
participant in the Tax-Qualified Replacement Plan but who was a
participant in the terminated Tax-Qualified Plan, the benefit
payable to or in respect of such person shall be determined under
the applicable provisions of the BRP as in effect prior to
February 15, 2001, taking into account amounts payable under
the Hancock Contract as payments from the Tax-Qualified Plan
itself.

describes the benefit obligation hereunder as that of the Company,
the benefits provided by this BRP shall be the obligation solely of
the participant’s particular employer. If a participant has
been employed by more than one employer, the obligation to pay the
benefits provided by this BRP shall be appropriately allocated
among all such employers in a manner determined by the Company in
its sole discretion. The Company shall cause each affiliated
employer which is a participating employer under the Tax-Qualified
Replacement Plan to adopt this BRP, which shall constitute that
affiliate’s agreement to provide the benefits required of it
hereunder. 6) Source of Payment . With respect to any
Participant, the source of any payment required under this BRP
shall be the general assets of the Participant’s employer. No
portion of any such payment shall be made from either the Hancock
Contract or the Tax-Qualified Replacement Plan. 7) Time and
Method of Payment for Grandfathered Benefits .
