Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On June 27, 2005, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
approved a consulting agreement dated April 27, 2005 between W. R. Grace & Co.
and W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn. (collectively, "Grace") and David B. Siegel, who
retired as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Restructuring
Officer of Grace on April 26, 2005. The agreement provides for Mr. Siegel to
provide consulting services to Grace on pending litigation and Chapter 11
reorganization matters. Under the agreement, Mr. Siegel would be paid $37,500
per month (i.e., $450,000 per year) based on working 900 hours per year. In the
event he works more than 900 hours in a year, he would be paid $500 for each
additional hour. During the period of the agreement, Mr. Siegel also will retain
use of his company-provided car and have access to a computer, business
telephone and administrative support. The agreement may be terminated by Grace
or Mr. Siegel at any time upon 60 days' written notice. The agreement is
attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report.
