RECITALS

The Church & Dwight Co., Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Compensation
Plan (the “Plan”) provides for, among other things, the grant of options to
purchase shares of common stock of the Company.  The Compensation & Organization
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which
administers the Plan, has decided to make a stock option grant as an inducement
for the Grantee to continue in the employ of the Employer and promote the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders.  References in this Agreement to
the Committee shall include any successor thereto appointed under and in
accordance with the Plan.  Any capitalized term used but not defined herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.  

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

1.Grant of Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee a
nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase ___________ shares of
common stock of the Company (“Shares”) at an exercise price of $_________ per
Share.  The Option shall vest and become exercisable according to Paragraph 2
below. The Option is not intended to qualify and will not be treated as an
Incentive Stock Option.  

2.Exercisability of Option.  Except as provided in Paragraphs 3(b) and 5 below
or the Plan, the Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the
schedule set forth below, if the Grantee continues to be employed by the
Employer on the applicable vesting date(s).

3.Term of Option.

(a)The Option shall have a term of ten years from the Date of Grant and shall
terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless it is terminated
at an earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)The Option shall automatically terminate upon the happening of the first of
the following events, unless otherwise agreed by the Committee by resolution
passed prior to or contemporaneously with the grant of the Option:

(i)The expiration of the 30‑day period after the Grantee ceases to be employed
by the Employer, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated due to any reason
other than Disability (as defined below), death, Retirement (as defined below)
or Cause (as defined below). In the event such employment termination results
from a termination by the Employer without Cause (other than a termination due
to Disability, death or Retirement), then, during such 30-day period, if the
Grantee executes a written release (in a form acceptable to the Company) of any
and all claims against the Employer and all related parties with respect to all
matters arising out of the Grantee’s employment and termination of employment
with the Employer and such related parties, and such release is or becomes
irrevocable under applicable law during such 30-day period, then the Option (to
the extent unvested) shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance
with the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 above during such 30-day period.

(ii)The expiration of the three-year period after the Grantee ceases to be
employed by the Employer, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated on account
of the Grantee’s Disability. Upon such employment termination, the Option (to
the extent unvested) shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance
with the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 above during such three-year
period.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall be
determined in accordance with the Employer’s long-term disability plan then in
effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is a party to an employment
agreement with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary that contains a
definition of “disability,” such definition shall apply to Grantee for purposes
of this Agreement.

(iii)The expiration of the three-year period after the Grantee ceases to be
employed by the Employer, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated due to his
or her death while employed by the Employer. Upon such employment termination,
the Option shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance with the
schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 above during such three-year period.

(iv)The expiration of the term described in Paragraph 3(a) if the Grantee’s
employment is terminated on account of the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined
below). Upon such employment termination, the Option shall continue to vest and
become exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2
above during such term.  For purposes of this Agreement, a Grantee shall be
considered to meet the requirements of “Retirement” if:

(1)The Grantee’s termination of employment is voluntary and is not a termination
by the Employer without Cause, and the Grantee (A) has provided the Employer
with at least 120 days’ prior written notice of the proposed termination date,
(B) has entered into a separation agreement with the Employer that contains
confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and
invention assignment provisions, and (C) is aged 55 or above as of the Grantee’s
employment termination date

-2-

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and, as of such employment termination date, (i) the Grantee has provided the
Employer and its affiliates with at least five years of continued service and
(ii) the sum of the Grantee’s age and his or her aggregate years of service with
the Employer and its affiliates is equal to or greater than 65; or

(2)The Grantee’s termination of employment is involuntary and made by the
Employer without Cause, and the Grantee (A) pursuant to the request of the
Employer, has entered into a separation agreement with the Employer that
contains confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and
non-disparagement provisions, and (B) is aged 55 or above as of the Grantee’s
employment termination date and, as of such employment termination date, (i) the
Grantee has provided the Employer and its affiliates with at least five years of
continued service and (ii) the sum of the Grantee’s age and his or her aggregate
years of service with the Employer and its affiliates is equal to or greater
than 65.

(v)The date on which the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Employer for
Cause. In addition, upon such employment termination, the Grantee shall
automatically forfeit all Shares underlying any exercised portion of an Option
for which the Company has not yet delivered the Share certificates, upon refund
by the Company to the Grantee of the exercise price paid by the Grantee for such
Shares.  Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Paragraph 3, if, after the
termination of Grantee’s employment with the Employer, the Committee (or its
designee) determines that the Grantee has engaged in conduct which would
constitute Cause hereunder, 100% of the Option shall immediately terminate and
be forfeited.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean the
Grantee’s dishonesty, malfeasance, misfeasance, fraud, insubordination, willful
misconduct, commission of a criminal offense or refusal or failure to perform
services (for any reason other than Disability or physical or mental
incapacity), in each case, as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is a party to an
employment agreement with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary that
contains a definition of “cause,” such definition shall apply to Grantee for
purposes of this Agreement.

(vi)The tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A)In no event may the Option be exercised on or after the tenth anniversary of
the Date of Grant;

(B)Any portion of the Option that is not vested or exercisable at the time the
Grantee ceases to be employed by the Employer, and that will not subsequently
vest or become exercisable as provided in subparagraph 3(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) above, shall immediately terminate and be forfeited as of the Grantee’s
employment termination date; and

(C)In the event that: (i) the Grantee’s termination of employment is involuntary
and made by the Employer without Cause, (ii) the Grantee resides outside of the
United

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

States, and (iii) the Grantee will receive severance or separation payments that
exceed one year’s base salary or wages, then, to the extent legally permissible
under applicable local laws and regulations, the Option will immediately
terminate and cease to be outstanding as of the Grantee’s employment termination
date.

4.Exercise Procedures.  

(a)Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Grantee may
exercise part or all of the vested and exercisable portions of the Option by
delivering written notice to a representative of the Company designated by the
Committee on any business day (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice shall
specify the number of Shares to be purchased accompanied by full payment of the
Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased. The Exercise Notice will be
effective when it is received by the Company’s representative. Any Person
exercising the Option after the death of the Grantee must provide appropriate
documentation to the satisfaction of the Company that such Person is entitled to
exercise the Option.  Payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares
being purchased in full shall be made in one (or a combination) of the
following: (i) in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company, (ii) with
the approval of the Committee, by delivery of unrestricted Shares which have
already been owned by the Grantee which are surrendered to the Company having a
Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted
by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board or (iv) by such other method as the
Committee may approve.  The Committee may impose from time to time such
limitations as it deems appropriate on the use of Shares of the Company to
exercise the Option.  

(b)The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option shall
be subject to the Plan (including, without limitation, Section 16 thereof) and
all applicable laws, rules, regulations and stock exchange requirements and also
to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the
Company, including such actions as Company counsel shall deem necessary or
appropriate to comply with such applicable laws, rules, regulations and stock
exchange requirements.    

(c)The Company or the Employer shall have the right to require payment of, or
deduction from payments of any kind otherwise due to Grantee, any federal,
state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by applicable law to be
withheld upon the issuance, vesting or delivery of any Shares, dividends or
payments of any kind. The Company or the Employer may withhold taxes from any
payments due to Grantee or Grantee may deliver a check to the Company or the
Employer. Subject to the prior approval of the Committee, which may be withheld
by the Committee in its sole discretion, Grantee may elect to satisfy the
minimum statutory withholding obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by having
the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable to Grantee or (ii) by delivering
to the Company Shares already owned by Grantee. The shares delivered or withheld
shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy the minimum
statutory total tax withholding obligations. The shares used to satisfy any tax
withholding obligation must be vested and cannot be subject to any repurchase,
forfeiture, or other similar requirements.

5.Change of Control.  The provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of
Control shall apply to the outstanding Option, and, in the event of a Change of
Control, the Committee may take

such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

6.Restrictions on Exercise.  Except as the Committee may otherwise permit
pursuant to the Plan, only the Grantee may exercise the Option during the
Grantee’s lifetime and, after the Grantee’s death, the Option shall be
exercisable (subject to the limitations specified in the Plan) solely by the
legal representatives of the Grantee, or by the person who acquires the right to
exercise the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, in each
case, solely to the extent that the Option is exercisable pursuant to this
Agreement.

immediately prior to such transfer; and provided, further, that any such
transfer shall be effectuated only by a written instrument acceptable to the
Committee that is executed and delivered to the Company by the Grantee and the
