The long-term future for both our business and our industry is favorable and
encouraging. In the short run, though, Dade Behring faces some short-term
business challenges. As you know, we are taking aggressive steps now to improve
our financial position, create a competitive advantage, and set the stage for
future growth. Our goal is to improve our business performance immediately so
that we can move ahead strategically towards a bright future. As one of the Dade
Behring key leaders, you play an important role as we progress towards this
enhanced performance.

To recognize your dedication and commitment towards our vision and future
business success, I am pleased to inform you of your participation in the
following Accelerated Cash Retention Plan.

ACCELERATED CASH RETENTION PLAN

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter, you are eligible
for a one-time special cash payment of 275% of your current base salary, payable
in three installments, as outlined below. You will be eligible for this special
cash payment if you have been continuously and actively employed (as further
defined below) with Dade Behring through March 31, 2003. This plan is designed
to place a heavy emphasis on the company's commitment to you during this
difficult time.

Your maximum potential retention bonus is $xxx,xxx.

-    1/3 of the retention bonus amount ($xx,xxx) will be paid to you at the time
     of a successful financial restructuring of the company or December 1, 2001
     whichever is earlier.

-    1/3 of the retention bonus amount ($xx,xxx) will be paid six months after
     the successful financial restructuring of the company.

-    1/3 of the retention bonus amount ($xx,xxx) will be paid on April 1, 2003.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

1.   You must be employed with Dade Behring on "active" status (which shall
     include pregnancy, family leave and short term disability leave of absences
     of no more than 180 days which are taken in accordance with existing
     Company policies) through the first and second accelerated payments as well
     as through March 31, 2003 to receive the respective retention payments.

2.   If you become fully disabled, die, or are terminated (except for cause (as
     defined in the 2000 Dade Behring Stock Option Plan)) prior to April 1,
     2003, the retention payment will be pro-rated based on the number of days
     of active employment during the period beginning June 1, 2001 and ending
     March 31, 2003. This pro-rated retention amount will be reduced by any
     retention bonus payment(s) you have previously received, if any. The
     balance of the pro-rated amount will be paid at the scheduled time of the
     next payment/s, in connection with distributions to the other participants
     of the program. The amount paid to you on any payment date will not exceed
     the payment amount that you otherwise would have received on that date had
     you not been terminated.

3.   If you resign, retire or are terminated for cause prior to April 1, 2003,
     you can retain any retention bonus payments received prior to your
     termination, and will not be entitled to receive any additional payments
     under this program.

4.   Appropriate withholdings will be deducted from the respective retention
     bonus award. Earnings related to retention bonus will not be considered
     benefit pay for any of the Dade Behring benefit or retirement plans.

5.   You agree to keep the terms, conditions and amounts payable under this
     retention plan strictly confidential. Failure to respect this
     confidentiality will jeopardize participation in the plan.

Working together, we can leverage our strengths, manage through our challenges
and anticipate a very positive future. I very much look forward to working with
you as we progress together.

Congratulations!
