     Energizer Holdings, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Missouri (“Company”), continues to maintain the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Supplemental

described in Article III in the event that such Employee’s retirement benefits accrued under the

Supplemental Retirement Benefits to the extent their benefits accrued under the Retirement Plan are
limited by the Benefit Limitations set forth in Section 2.1 above:

     (a) All Employees under the Plan on March 28, 2003, who are employed by an Affiliated Company
on March 29, 2003, shall continue to be an Employee eligible to continue to participate under the

Benefit Limitations set forth in Section 2.1 above. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, such Former WL Employee shall not be eligible to continue to participate and
accrue Supplemental Retirement Benefits in the Plan after March 28, 2005, except as permitted by
the Committee.

- 3 -

 

III. SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS

     3.1 Amount and Form of Employee’s Benefit.

     (a) Amount of Benefit. An Employee who meets the eligibility requirements of Article
II shall be entitled to receive Supplemental Retirement Benefits in an amount equal to the
difference between the benefit such Employee would have received under the Retirement Plan but for
the Benefit Limitations and the benefit such Employee would receive under the Retirement Plan if
the Employee elected to receive each component of his or her benefit under the Retirement Plan on
the date the Employee’s Supplemental Retirement Benefits under this Plan commence, including any
Supplemental FAP Benefit or Supplemental PEP Benefit, as those terms are defined under the
Retirement Plan. The formula for determining each component of such Supplemental Retirement
Benefits shall correspond to the underlying formula and related provisions in the Retirement Plan.

     (b) Normal Form of Benefit. Notwithstanding the form of benefit the Employee elects
for the payment of his or her Retirement Plan benefit and unless the Employee elects otherwise as
provided below, the benefit payable pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be paid in the form of a
five-year certain annuity if the Employee is unmarried at the time of commencement of payment, or
in the form of a 50% contingent annuitant form of payment with the Employee’s Spouse as the
contingent annuitant if the Employee is married at the time of commencement of payment; provided
that the benefit payable pursuant to this Section 3.1 to an Employee who first became a participant
in the Retirement Plan on or after January 1, 2010 (whose entire Retirement Plan benefit is based
on a Retirement Accumulation Account) shall be paid in the form of a lump-sum distribution.

     (c) Optional Forms of Benefit. In lieu of the form of payment specified in the
preceding paragraph, an Employee may elect, in writing, at any time within the first thirty (30)
days after such Employee first becomes eligible to accrue a benefit under the Plan, to receive his
or her Supplemental Retirement Benefits pursuant to this Section 3.1 payable in one of the
following optional forms: a five-year certain annuity, ten-year certain annuity, life annuity, or
contingent annuity ranging from 50% to 100%, and any such optional form of payment will be
calculated using the actuarial factors specified in the Retirement Plan. In addition, if the
Employee is enrolled in the Pension Equity Benefit under the Retirement Plan, the optional forms
will include a single lump-sum payment. Except in the case of a lump-sum payment, the Employee may
also elect the Social Security Adjustment Option as described under the Retirement Plan in
conjunction with the election of one of the above forms of payment.

     (d) Commencement of Benefits. If an Employee made the one-time election in 1999 to
remain enrolled in the Traditional Pension Benefit under the Retirement Plan, such Employee’s
Supplemental Retirement Benefits shall become payable on the later of (i) in the event of the
Employee’s Termination of Employment, the later of the first day of the month commencing after the
sixth month anniversary of the Employee’s Termination of Employment, or, if applicable, the
Employee’s Early Retirement Date, as defined under the Retirement Plan, or (ii) the benefit
commencement date specified by the Employee in an election made, in writing, within the first
thirty (30) days after such Employee first becomes eligible to accrue a benefit

- 4 -

 

under the Plan. If an Employee is enrolled in the Pension Equity Benefit under the Retirement
Plan, or if the Employee first became a participant in the Retirement Plan on or after January 1,
2010 (whose entire benefit is based on a Retirement Accumulation Account), such Employee’s
Supplemental Retirement Benefits shall become payable on the later of (i) the first day of the
month commencing after the sixth month anniversary of the Employee’s Termination of Employment, or
(ii) the benefit commencement date specified by the Employee in an election made, in writing,
within the first thirty (30) days after such Employee first becomes eligible to accrue a benefit
under the Plan.

     An Employee may change his or her payment commencement date or distribution method to delay
payment of his or her Supplemental Retirement Benefits; provided, however, that (a) such change
must be made at least twelve (12) months before the date on which the Supplemental Retirement
Benefits would otherwise first have become payable, and (b) the first payment date under the new
distribution method is a date not less than five (5) years after the date such payment would
otherwise have been made. No Employee may change the form of payment initially elected more than
once.

     An amount payable on a date specified in this Plan shall be paid as soon as administratively
feasible after such date; but not later than the later of the end of the calendar year in which the
specified date occurs or the 15th day of the third calendar month following such
specified date. The payment date may be postponed further if calculation of the amount of the
payment is not administratively practicable due to events beyond the control of the Employee.

     (e) WL Employees. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in
addition to the benefits, if any, accrued under this Plan on and after March 29, 2003, a Former WL
Employee shall be entitled to his or her WL Excess Plan benefit in accordance with and on the terms
and conditions contained in Appendix A. Such benefit shall commence in accordance with paragraph
(d) of this Section 3.1.

     3.2 Benefit Upon Employee’s Death. In the event of an Employee’s death before payment
of his or her Supplemental Retirement Benefits commence, such Employee’s Beneficiary shall receive
the Supplemental Retirement Benefits specified in Section 3.1. in the form of payment elected by
the Employee, commencing not later than the first day of the third calendar month following the
date of the Employee’s death, provided that the Beneficiary may not, directly or indirectly,
specify the calendar year in which the payment will be made. In the event of an Employee’s death
after payment of his or her Supplemental Retirement Benefits commence, the form of benefit payment
elected by the Employee will determine what benefit, if any, the Beneficiary shall receive and the
form of such benefit.

     Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event a Former WL Employee
who is entitled to a WL Excess Plan benefit dies before the date payment of his or her WL Excess
Plan benefit commences, such Employee’s Beneficiary shall receive the WL Excess Plan benefit in
accordance with Appendix A, commencing not later than the first day of the third calendar month
following the date of the Employee’s death. In the event a Former WL Employee dies after the date
payment of his or her WL Excess Plan benefit commences, the form of benefit

- 5 -

 

payment elected by the Former WL Employee will determine what, if any, benefit the Beneficiary
receives and the form of such benefit.

IV. ERISA BENEFIT LIMITATION

     4.1 Obligations Unfunded. All benefits due an Employee or Beneficiary pursuant to the
Plan are unfunded and unsecured and are payable out of the general funds of the Affiliated Company
by whom the Employee is employed at the time the benefit accrued. The Affiliated Company shall
make no provision for the funding or insuring of any benefits payable hereunder. In the event that
the Company shall decide to establish an advance accrual reserve on its books against the future
expense of payments made hereunder, such reserve shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be
an asset of the Plan, nor a source of payment of any claims under the Plan but at all times shall
remain a part of the general assets of the Affiliated Company, and shall be subject to the claims
of its creditors.

     The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish a grantor trust for the
payment of benefits hereunder, the assets of which shall be at all times subject to the claims of
creditors of the Affiliated Companies, as provided for in such trust, provided that such trust does
not alter the characterization of the Plan as an unfunded plan for purposes of ERISA. Such trust
shall make distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

     4.2 Excess Benefit Plan. The portion of the Plan relating to Supplemental Retirement
Benefits payable on account of the Section 415 Limitations constitutes an excess benefit plan as
defined in Section 3(36) of ERISA.

     4.3 No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the
payment of any benefits thereunder nor any action of the Affiliated Companies shall be held or
construed to confer upon any person any legal right to be continued in the employ of any Affiliated
Company.

     4.4 Power to Amend or Terminate. The Board of Directors of the Company, the Committee
and their delegees are each empowered to amend, modify or terminate this Plan at any time, except
that no amendment, modification or termination may reduce or otherwise detrimentally affect
benefits payable under this Plan to an Employee or his or her Beneficiary without regard to such
amendment unless the Employee (or Beneficiary, if the Employee is deceased) consents to such
change. A termination of the Plan must comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and the
regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, including but not limited to, restrictions on the
timing of final distributions and the adoption of future deferred compensation arrangements.

     4.5 Benefits Upon Divestiture or Other Disposition of Business. In the event that, as
a result of a sale of stock or assets or another transaction by which all or part of an Affiliated
Company ceases to be an affiliate of the Company, an Employee’s employment with an Affiliated
Company is terminated or his or her employer is no longer an Affiliated Company, the Company
reserves the right to offset, against any Supplemental Retirement Benefits otherwise

- 6 -

 

payable to such Employee or his or her Beneficiary, retirement benefits payable to such
Employee or his or her Beneficiary from any pension or retirement plan of such purchaser, its
affiliate or successor (“Purchaser”) after consummation of such sale to the extent such benefits
duplicate the benefits payable under this Plan. The Company also reserves the right to assign its
rights and obligations pursuant to this Plan and, upon the assignment of such rights and
obligations to a third party, the Company shall guarantee the payment of such transferred
obligations in the event that the assignee fails to pay them.

     4.6 Non-Alienation of Benefits. No right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject
to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to
anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or change any right or benefit under this
Plan shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to
the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefits. If the
Employee or Beneficiary becomes bankrupt, or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign,
pledge, encumber, or change any right hereunder, then such right or benefit shall, in the
discretion of the Committee, cease and terminate, and in such event, the Committee may hold or
apply the same or any part thereof for the benefit of the Employee or Beneficiary, spouse,
children, or other dependents, or any of them in such manner and in such amounts and proportions as
the Committee may deem proper. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the
Committee may comply with a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Code Section 414(p);
provided however, that for purposes of this Section 4.6, (i) the provisions of Code Section
414(p)(9) shall be disregarded and shall have no force and effect in applying the provisions of
Code Section 414(p), and (ii) the provisions of Code Section 414(p)(4) shall be disregarded when
making a determination whether a domestic relations order is a qualified domestic relations order
so that no order shall be considered to be a qualified domestic relations order if it requires an
amount to be paid to an alternate payee before the earlier of (A) the date the Employee begins to
receive benefits under the Plan, or (B) the date of the Employee’s death. Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, benefits payable from the Plan under this Section to an
alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order shall be paid only in the form of
a lump sum payment. The Committee may establish procedures similar to those described in Code
Sections 414(p)(6) and (7), in lieu of the procedures set forth in Code Sections 414(p)(6) and (7),
for evaluating domestic relations orders and for handling benefits while domestic relations orders
are being evaluated.

     4.7 Anticipation of Benefits. An Employee shall have a claim upon the Affiliated
Company for whom he or she was employed only to the extent of the monthly payments, if any, due
such Employee up to and including the then current month, and the Employee shall not have a claim
against the Affiliated Company for any subsequent monthly payment unless and until such payments
shall become due and payable.

     4.8 Claims and Appeals Procedures. An Employee or Beneficiary may claim any benefit
to which he or she is entitled under this Plan by a written notice to the Committee. If a claim is
denied, it must be denied within ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim, unless special
circumstances require an extension. If an extension is necessary, the extension shall not be
longer than an additional ninety (90) days. Any denial shall be in a written notice stating the
following:

- 7 -

 

     (a) The specific reason for the denial.

     (b) Specific reference to the Plan provision on which the denial is based.

     (c) Description of additional information necessary for the claimant to present his or her
claim, if any, and an explanation of why such material is necessary.

     (d) An explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedures, and the time limits applicable to
such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under
Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review.

If the Committee does not deny the claim within the time specified above, the claimant may commence
action in state or federal court.

     The claimant will have sixty (60) days to request a review of the denial by the Committee,
which will provide a full and fair review. The request for review must be in writing delivered to
the Committee. The claimant may review pertinent documents, and he or she may submit issues and
comments in writing. The decision by the Committee with respect to the review must be given within
sixty (60) days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an extension
(such as for a hearing). In no event shall the decision be delayed beyond 120 days after receipt
of the request for review. The decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood
by the claimant, shall include specific reasons and refer to specific Plan provisions as to its
effect, state that the claimant is entitled to receive upon request and free of charge, reasonable
access to and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim, and
state that the claimant has a right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

     Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any claim filed under the Plan and
any action brought in state or federal court by or on behalf of an Employee or a Beneficiary for
the alleged wrongful denial of Plan benefits or for the alleged interference with ERISA-protected
rights must be brought within one (1) year of the date of the Participant’s, the Beneficiary’s or
alternate payee’s cause of action first accrues. Failure to bring any such cause of action with
this one (1) year time frame shall preclude an Employee or a Beneficiary, or any representative of
the Employee or Beneficiary, from bringing the claim or cause of action. Correspondence or other
communications following the mandatory appeals process described in this Section 4.8 shall have no
effect on this one (1) year time frame.

     4.9 Limitation of Action and Choice of Venue. Before a claimant may bring a legal
action against the Plan, the Company, a Subsidiary, or the Committee, the claimant must first
complete all steps of the claims and review procedures contained in Section 4.8. After completing
all steps of the claims and review procedures contained in Section 4.8, as applicable, a claimant
has one (1) year from the date he or she is notified of the Committee’s final decision to bring
such legal action or the right to bring such legal action is lost. Any legal action against the
Plan, the Company, a Subsidiary, or the Committee may only be brought in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.

- 8 -

 

     4.10 Taxes. Any taxes required to be withheld under applicable federal, state or
local tax laws or regulations may be withheld from any payment due hereunder.

     4.11 Rules of Construction. The terms and provisions of the Plan shall be construed
according to the principles, and in the priority, as follows: first, in accordance with the meaning
under, and which will bring the Plan into conformity with, Code Section 409A and the regulation
thereunder; and secondly, in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri. The Plan shall be
deemed to contain the provisions necessary to comply with such laws. If any provision of the Plan
shall be held illegal or invalid, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall be construed as if
such provision had never been included. No provision of this Plan shall be operative to the extent
that it will result in the imposition of the additional tax described in Code Section
409A(a)(1)(B)(i)(II) because of failure to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and the
regulations and guidance issued thereunder.

     4.12 Headings. Headings of Articles and Sections of the Plan are inserted for
convenience of reference, and constitute no part of the Plan.

     4.13 Gender. The use of masculine pronouns herein shall be deemed to include both
males and females.

     4.14 Effect of Amendment. No amendment to the Plan shall change the time of payment
of any benefit to which an Employee had a legally binding right as of the date of the amendment;
except as permitted by Code Section 409A and the regulation thereunder.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this 2010 Restatement of the Plan to be executed by
a duly authorized officer this 25th day of October, 2010.
