      settlement medium chosen by the Committee, subject in case of C&D

<PAGE>

      of the Liquidation Event, which appreciation will be equal to the
      difference between the Initial Measurement Value of the Equity
      Appreciation Award and the Final Measurement Value of the Award,
      multiplied by the number of Interests subject to the Award to the extent
      then vested (the "Appreciation"). The Initial Measurement Value shall be
      stated in the individual Award agreement described in Section 6.1(c) below
      and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof.

            (b)   Number of Interests Subject to Award. The total number of
      Interests that may be subject to Awards under the Plan shall be 800,000.

            (c)   Equity Appreciation Award Agreement. As promptly as
      practicable after an Eligible Employee is granted an Award, the Company
      and the Participant shall enter into a written agreement setting forth all

      shall record or cause to be recorded the number of Interests subject to
      the Equity Appreciation Award granted to such Participant, the Initial
      Measurement Value of the underlying Interests and the Date of Grant.

            (d)   Vesting. Unless the Committee determines otherwise on the Date
      of Grant with respect to an Award, each Equity Appreciation Award shall
      vest on the last day of each calendar month during the thirty-six (36)
      consecutive calendar month period beginning on the Date of Grant, provided
      that such Participant is actively employed by the Company on each such
      monthly vesting date.

            (e)   Settlement of Awards. Awards granted under this Plan shall
      only be eligible for settlement pursuant to Article VIII hereof, to the
      extent each such Award has vested under Section 6.1(d) hereof and the
      Liquidation Event occurs prior to the seventh anniversary of the Plan's
      Effective Date. If the Liquidation Event fails to occur by the seventh
      anniversary of the Plan's Effective Date, the Plan and all then
      outstanding Awards shall automatically terminate and become null and void

otherwise encumbered by or hypothecated for the debts, contracts, liabilities,
engagements or torts of any person


                                       7

who shall be entitled to such Award, nor shall it be subject to attachment or
legal process for or against such person.

      7.2   Termination of Employment.

            (a) Unless the Committee determines otherwise on the Date of Grant
      with respect to an Award or as provided for in Section 7.2(c) below, an
      Equity Appreciation Award granted to a Participant under this Plan shall
      automatically terminate and become null and void upon a Participant's
      termination of Continuing Service if such termination occurs prior to the
      Liquidation Event, regardless of whether such Award has vested in whole or
      in part.

            (b) Any part of an Award which is not vested as of the date of the
      Participant's termination of active employment with the Company shall
      automatically terminate upon such termination of active employment
      (whether or not such Participant remains in Continuing Service).

            (c) The Committee shall have the discretion and authority to provide
      special rules that may be applicable to an Award granted under this Plan
      in order to prevent the otherwise automatic forfeiture of such Award

      Service prior to the Liquidation Event due to death, Retirement or
      Disability.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              SETTLEMENT OF AWARDS

      8.1   Effect of Liquidation Event. Upon the occurrence of the Liquidation
Event, all then outstanding Awards shall become immediately eligible for
settlement pursuant to Section 8.2 below to the extent that each such Award has
vested pursuant to Section 6.1(d) hereof.

      8.2   Settlement.

            (a)   General. Following the occurrence of the Liquidation Event,
      each Participant shall be entitled to receive the Appreciation
      attributable to the vested portion of his Award in accordance with this
      Section 8.2 and the un-vested portion of such Awards shall automatically
      terminate and become null and void.

            (b)   Method of Settlement. Upon the date of the Liquidation Event,
      the Committee (subject, in case of C&D Settlement Medium to the approval
      of Church & Dwight) shall determine, in its sole discretion, the method in
      which to settle all of the then outstanding Equity Appreciation Awards, to
      the extent then vested. Subject to Section 8.2(e), the Committee may elect
      to settle each such then outstanding Award pursuant to any of the
      following methods:

           (i)    Settlement in Cash. The Committee may elect to settle each
                      Award in cash, in which case each Participant holding an
                      Award eligible for


                                       8
<PAGE>

                      settlement hereunder shall be entitled to receive the
                      dollar value of the Appreciation, paid in three (3) equal
                      annual installment payments, less applicable tax
                      withholding, with the first installment to be paid within
                      ten (10) business days after the Liquidation Event
                      ("Initial Settlement Date") and the second and third
                      installments to be paid on the first and second
                      anniversaries of the Liquidation Event (each, a
                      "Settlement Date") provided the Participant remains in
                      Continuing Service on each Settlement Date. The second and
                      third installment payments shall be adjusted by the
                      Committee to reflect interest earned thereon from the
                      Initial Settlement Date through the Settlement Date on
                      which the installment is paid. The interest shall be
                      calculated at the applicable federal rate in effect on the
                      Initial Settlement Date for short-term loans, compounded
                      semi-annually.

            (ii)  Settlement Through Grant of Discounted Stock Options. For
                      Participants who become employees of Church & Dwight
                      following the Liquidation Event, the Committee may elect
                      to settle each Award through C&D Settlement Medium through
                      grant to each eligible Participant of a discounted
                      non-qualified stock option to purchase shares of Church &
                      Dwight common stock under the Church & Dwight employee
                      stock option plan to purchase the number of shares of
                      Church & Dwight common stock determined, pursuant to the
                      formula set forth below at an exercise price per share
                      which shall be equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the
                      "fair market value" (as determined below) of an underlying
                      share of Church & Dwight common stock determined as of the
                      date of the grant. Each such option shall be granted to
                      purchase the number of shares of Church & Dwight common
                      stock equal to (x) the dollar amount of the Appreciation
                      subject to settlement divided by (y) seventy-five percent
                      (75%) of the "fair market value" of a share of the
                      underlying stock on the date of grant. For purposes of the
                      foregoing formula, the "fair market value" of a share of
                      Church & Dwight common stock shall be determined in
                      accordance with the Church & Dwight employee stock option
                      plan as of the date the option is granted. Each such
                      option shall be granted on the Initial Settlement Date, as
                      defined above, and shall vest and become exercisable on a
                      cumulative basis, as follows: one-third shall vest and
                      become fully exercisable on the Initial Settlement Date
                      and an additional one-third shall vest and become
                      exercisable on each succeeding Settlement Date provided
                      the Participant is employed by Church & Dwight on each
                      Settlement Date. Each option shall have a ten-year term
                      and shall otherwise be subject to the terms of the Church
                      & Dwight employee stock option plan. Each option shall be
                      memorialized in a written stock option agreement between
                      Church & Dwight and the Participant which shall contain
                      all other

                      terms and conditions of the option consistent with the
                      option plan and as determined by the Committee.

            (iii) Settlement Through Grant of Restricted Stock Awards. For
                      Participants who become employees of Church & Dwight
                      following the Liquidation Event, the Committee may elect
                      to settle each Award through the grant to each eligible
                      Participant shares of restricted common stock of Church &
                      Dwight under the Church & Dwight restricted stock plan
                      having an aggregate "fair market value," as determined
                      below, as of the date of grant, equal to the Appreciation
                      of the Award subject to settlement. For purposes of the
                      foregoing formula, the "fair market value" of shares of
                      Church & Dwight common stock shall be determined in
                      accordance with the Church & Dwight restricted stock plan
                      as of the date the restricted stock award is granted. Each
                      such restricted stock award shall be granted on the
                      Initial Settlement Date, as defined above, and shall vest
                      on a cumulative basis, as follows: one-third shall vest on
                      the date of grant, and an additional one-third shall vest
                      on each succeeding Settlement Date provided the
                      Participant is employed by Church & Dwight on each
                      Settlement Date. Each restricted stock award will be
                      memorialized in a written agreement between Church &
                      Dwight and the Participant which shall contain all other
                      terms and conditions of the award consistent with this
                      Plan and as determined by the Committee.

            (iv)  Settlement in any Other Manner. The Committee may elect to
                      settle an Award in a manner other than the settlement
                      options described in clauses (i) - (iii) of this Section
                      8.2(b) so long as the dollar value of the Award is
                      preserved.

            (c)   Requirement of Continuing Service. Unless the Committee
      determines otherwise with respect to a Participant, in order to be
      eligible for full settlement of an Equity Appreciation Award following the
      Liquidation Event, the Participant must be in Continuing Service on each
      Settlement Date. The Committee shall, however, have the discretion and
      authority to provide special settlement rules to be applicable to
      Participants who terminate Continuing Service following the Liquidation
      Event but prior to the Settlement Date or Dates due to death, Retirement,
      Disability or termination by the Employer without Cause.

            (d)   Committee Discretion With Respect to Award Settlement.
      Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, the Committee may
      elect to settle all then outstanding Awards, to the extent vested, as soon
      as practicable following the Liquidation Event.

            (e)   Notwithstanding anything contrary herein and provided there
      has occurred the Liquidation Event prior to the seventh anniversary date
      of this Plan, all settlement of Awards, to the extent not previously
      settled on the Settlement


                                       10
<PAGE>

      Date, shall be settled no later than the seventh anniversary of the
      Effective Date. If the Liquidation Event occurs after the fourth
      anniversary of the Effective Date, the Committee shall determine the
      applicable shorter payment or vesting schedule.

the Board or the Committee may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in
whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of this Plan, or suspend or
terminate it entirely, retroactively or otherwise and settle all then
outstanding vested Awards; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by
law or specifically provided herein, the rights of a Participant with respect to
Awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination, may not be
adversely effected without the consent of such Participant.

     9.2    Amendment of Award. The Committee may amend the terms of any Award
theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Article IV

the Participant's consent.

                                 UNFUNDED PLAN

      This Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and
deferred compensation. With respect to any payments as to which a Participant
has a fixed and vested interest but which are not yet made to a Participant by

that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to
shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be
either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

     11.2   No Right to Employment. Neither this Plan nor the grant of any Award
hereunder shall give any Participant or other employee any right with respect to
continuance of employment by the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall they be a
limitation in any way on the right of the Company or any Affiliate by which an
employee is employed to terminate his employment or Affiliate, as applicable, at
any time.

Federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld.

also used in the plural form in all cases where they would so apply.

is related to the level of compensation.

     11.7   Costs. The Company shall bear all expenses of administering this
Plan.

     11.8   No Right to Same Benefits. The provisions of Awards need not be the

transferee of a Participant's Award to supply the Company with written notice of
the Participant's death or Disability and to supply the Company with a copy of
the will (in the case of the Participant's death) or such other evidence as the
Committee deems necessary to establish the validity of the Transfer of an Award.
The Committee may also require that the transferee agree in writing to be bound
by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan.

     11.10  Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be
held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of this Plan,
