<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
February&nbsp;16, 2005, the Organization and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Sealed Air Corporation (the "Corporation") made the following
decisions regarding the compensation of the executive officers who were named in the Summary Compensation Table of the Corporation's Proxy Statement for its 2004 Annual Meeting and who are expected to
be named in the Summary Compensation Table of the Corporation's Proxy Statement for its 2005 Annual Meeting. Decisions with respect to the compensation of William V. Hickey, President and Chief
Executive Officer, were made after consultation with the other non-management directors of the Corporation. </FONT></P>

salaries of the executive officers effective as of March&nbsp;1, 2005. The Committee also certified achievement of certain performance goals established early in 2004 under its Performance-Based
Compensation Program. The performance goals that were achieved related to 2004 diluted earnings per share and 2004 net income. Based on the achievement of such goals, the Committee could approve a
2004 cash bonus for Mr.&nbsp;Hickey in the amount of up to $539,000 and could approve stock awards during 2005 under the current Contingent Stock Plan or under the new 2005 Contingent Stock Plan to
each of the executive officers listed below in the amount of up to 42,900 shares of common stock. Subject to such cap for Mr.&nbsp;Hickey's 2004 cash bonus, the Committee approved cash bonuses of
$400,000 for Mr.&nbsp;Hickey and such other amounts for all of the executive officers on February&nbsp;16, 2005 based on the Committee's judgment regarding achievement of financial goals,
including corporate operating profit and, where appropriate, divisional or regional operating profit, non-financial goals that were individually established for each of the executive
officers during the first quarter of 2004, and individual performance during 2004. Also, on February&nbsp;16, 2005, the Committee granted an award to Mr.&nbsp;Hickey of 20,000 shares of common
stock under the current Contingent Stock Plan. </FONT></P>

Plan by the Corporation's stockholders at the 2005 Annual Meeting. Subject to such stockholder approval, the Committee established performance goals under the amended Performance-Based
Compensation Program for cash bonuses for 2005 payable in 2006 and for awards to be made in 2006 under the 2005 Contingent Stock Plan for the officers listed above and for certain other key employees.
The 2005 performance goals were based upon diluted earnings per share, operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, net operating profit after tax, and net income. Achievement of all goals during
2005 would permit cash bonuses to be paid to each of such executive officers up to the maximum cash bonus specified in the amended Performance-Based Compensation Program, which is the greater of one
percent (1%) of the Corporation's net earnings for 2005 or $1&nbsp;million, and stock awards to be made in 2006 under the 2005 Contingent Stock Plan in the amount of up to two-tenths of
1% (0.2%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock as of January&nbsp;1, 2006. The Committee has the discretion to approve lower cash bonuses and stock awards to the
executive officers. The Committee also established individual cash bonus goals for each executive officer based upon financial goals, including corporate operating profit and, where applicable,
divisional and regional operating profit, as well as non-financial goals designed to align performance with the Corporation's business goals and strategies. </FONT></P>
