                    Amended and Restated as of July 28, 2004

     Oneida Ltd. hereby adopts the Oneida Ltd. Employee Security Plan for the
benefit of certain employees of the Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries, on
the terms and conditions hereinafter stated.

     The Plan, as set forth herein, is intended to help retain qualified
employees, maintain a stable work environment and provide economic security to
certain Employees of the Employer in the event of a Severance of employment
under the enumerated circumstances. The Plan, as a "severance pay arrangement"
within the meaning of Section 3(2)(B)(i) of ERISA, is intended to be excepted
from the definitions of "employee pension benefit plan" and "pension plan" set
forth under Section 3(2) of ERISA, and is intended to meet the descriptive
requirements of a plan constituting a "severance pay plan" within the meaning of
regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 2510.3-2(b).

     SECTION 1. Definitions. As used herein:

     1.1 "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

     1.2 A "Chance in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred
if:

     (a) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (other than the
Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by
the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of stock of the Company), is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power
of the Company's then outstanding securities, provided, however, that for
purposes of this clause (a), any person who becomes the direct or indirect
beneficial owner of securities representing 20% or more of the combined voting
power of the Company's then outstanding securities in connection with an
exchange, conversion or discharge of the debt or equity securities or other
indebtedness of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions pursuant
to the recapitalization plan of the Company, dated as of June 26, 2004 (the
"Recapitalization"), shall be disregarded;

     (b) during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period
prior to the Effective Date), individuals who at the beginning of such period
constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by
a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a

by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in
office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose
election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided however, that the
replacement of any director of the Company serving as of July 12, 2004 with a
director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement to effect the
Recapitalization will not be taken into account for purposes of this clause (b);

     (c) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of
the Company with any other company, other than (1) a merger or consolidation
which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving
entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of
the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger
or consolidation or (2) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in






which no "person" (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than 20% of the
combined voting power of the company's then outstanding securities; or

Employer within two (2) years following a Change in Control or Recapitalization,
(i) by the Employer other than for Cause, or (ii) by the Employee for Good
Reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Employee will not be considered to
have incurred a Severance (i) if his or her employment is discontinued by reason
of the Employee's voluntary or Mandatory Retirement, the Employee's death or a
physical or mental condition causing the Employee's inability to substantially
perform his or her duties with the Employer, including without limitation, such
condition entitling him or her to benefits under any sick pay or disability
income policy or program of the Employer, (ii) if his or her employment is

calendar year in which his or her Service commences, but does complete at least
1,000 Hours of Service during the 12-consecutive month period beginning on the
date the Employee's Service commenced, as determined by the Plan Administrator,
then, for purposes of determining when an Employee shall be eligible to
participate in the Plan as provided in Section 2, he or she shall be credited
with a Year of Service for such 12-consecutive month period.

     SECTION 2. Eligibility.

     2.1 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, each
Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of one
Year of Service.

     SECTION 3. Benefits.

     3.1 Each Employee who incurs a Severance shall be entitled to receive a

     3.2 Severance Payments will be made to an eligible severed Employee in one
lump sum on the second pay day following the Severance Date.






     3.3 Health care benefits and life insurance benefits will be continued (at
the active employee rate) for a severed Employee for the number of months
determined in Section 3.1 above, but not after he or she becomes an employee of
another employer and covered under another group health or group life plan,
respectively.

     3.4 In the event of a claim by an Employee as to the amount of any
distribution or its method of payment, such Employee shall present the reason
for his or her claim in writing to the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of such written claim,
send a written notification to the Employee as to its disposition. In the event
the claim is wholly or partially denied, such written notification shall (a)
state the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (b) make specific reference
to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (c) provide a
description of any additional material or information necessary for the Employee
to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is
necessary, and (d) set forth the procedure by which the Employee may appeal the
denial of his claim. In the event an Employee wishes to appeal the denial of his
claim, he or she may request a review of such denial by making application in
writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receipt of such
denial. Such Employee (or his or her duly authorized legal representative) may,
upon written request to the Plan Administrator, review any documents pertinent
to his or her claim, and submit in writing issues and comments in support of his
or her position. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of a written appeal
(unless special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require an
extension of time, but in no event more than one hundred twenty (120) days after
such receipt), the Plan Administrator shall notify the Employee of the final
decision. The final decision shall be in writing and shall include specific
reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant, and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the
decision is based.

     3.5 The Company will pay to each Employee all legal fees and expenses
incurred by such employee in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit
provided under this Plan (other than any such fees and expenses incurred in
pursuing any claim determined to be frivolous by a court of competent
jurisdiction).

     SECTION 4. Limitation on Severance Payments.

     4.1 Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or in any other agreement,
commitment, arrangement or plan regarding payments or transfers of property to
an Employee to the contrary, the aggregate of all Severance Payments to an
Employee under this Plan and all other agreements and arrangements with, and
plans of, the Employer shall be reduced by such amount as may be necessary so
that no Payment, either alone or when taken together with all other Payments,
results in the failure of any Payment, or any other amount paid or property
transferred to, or for the benefit of, an Employee, to be allowed as a deduction
to the Company on its Federal income tax return under Code Section 280G;
provided, however, that no provision of this Plan shall be deemed to prohibit or
restrict any Payment, or any payment or transfer of property, to an Employee
pursuant to an Employee Benefit Plan.

     4.2 Promptly, and in any event within 10 days before any Severance Payment
is due, the Company shall determine whether any Payment, or any portion thereof,
payable to, or for the benefit of, an Employee would result in the failure of
any Payment, or any other amount paid or property transferred to, or for the
benefit of, an Employee, to be allowed as a deduction to the Company on its
Federal income tax return under Code Section 280G, and shall immediately notify
the Employee of its determination by delivering to the Employee a statement (the
"Statement") which sets out a detailed account of its determination, including a
description of the method by which the Fair Market Value was assigned in such
determination to any property constituting a Payment. Within 8 days of delivery
of the Statement, and after consulting with the Employee to determine how the
Company can best implement its obligation to compensate the Employee under the
terms of this Plan, the Company shall reduce the Severance Payment under the
Plan by the amount described in Section 4.1.

     4.3 In the event the Employee disputes a determination reflected in the
Statement, including the assignment of a Fair Market Value to any property
constituting a Payment, the Employee shall promptly notify the Company in
writing, and the parties shall use their best efforts to resolve such dispute.
If no resolution has been reached within 2 days of receipt of the notice of such
dispute, the dispute shall be referred to an Independent Auditor, whose






determination with respect to such dispute shall be communicated in writing to
the parties within 5 days of the date of such referral. The determination of the
Independent Auditor shall be at the expense of the Company and shall be
conclusive and binding on the parties. The 8 day time period provided in Section
4.2 shall be suspended and shall not elapse during the period provided for the
resolution of disputes pursuant to this Section 4.3.

employee of the Employer);

          (iii) "Change of Ownership" means a change in the ownership or
effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion

     7.2 Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of
any Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in

limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any manner;
no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or
interest of any Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any
obligation or liability of such Employee. When a payment is due under this Plan
to an Employee who is unable to care for his affairs, payment may be made
directly to his legal guardian or personal representative.

     7.3 If an Employer is obligated by law or by contract to pay severance pay,
a termination indemnity, notice pay, or the like, or if the Employer is
obligated by law or by contract to provide advance notice of separation ("Notice

applicable, and shall be reduced by the amount of any compensation received

obligations hereunder.

     7.5 If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions
hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had

and all applicable rules and regulations thereunder.
