| 26 | Examples of cases where an entity's obligation is not limited to the amount that it agrees to contribute to the fund are when the entity has a legal or constructive obligation through: (a) a plan benefit formula that is not linked solely to the amount of contributions; (b) a guarantee, either indirectly through a plan or directly, of a specified return on contributions; or (c) those informal practices that give rise to a constructive obligation. For example, a constructive obligation may arise where an entity has a history of increasing benefits for former employees to keep pace with inflation even where there is no legal obligation to do so.
