Exhibit 10.51

2009 RESTATEMENT OF

ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.

EXECUTIVE SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN

     Energizer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) established the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Executive
Savings Investment Plan (the “Grandfathered Plan”), effective as of April 1, 2000, to provide
retirement benefits for eligible employees.

     In connection with complying with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (“Code”), the portion of each Participant’s Account that was earned and vested as of
December 31, 2004, was frozen, except for adjustments for earnings and losses, and credited to a
separate subaccount (the “Grandfathered Account”) and will be administered in accordance with the
terms of the Grandfathered Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004 and the federal income tax law in
effect prior to the enactment of Section 409A. The portion of each Participant’s Account earned or
vested on or after January 1, 2005 was credited to a separate subaccount (the “Non-Grandfathered
Account”). Pursuant to Notice 2007-86, with respect to the period from January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2008, all Non-Grandfathered Accounts will be administered in accordance with Notice
2005-1, other generally applicable Section 409A guidance, and the Company’s good faith
interpretation of compliance with Code Section 409A, as documented, in part, in draft plan
documents, forms, or communications. Effective January 1, 2009, all Non-Grandfathered Accounts
will be administered in accordance with the 2009 Restatement of the Energizer Holdings, Inc.
Executive Savings Investment Plan (“Plan”). A Participant’s benefit will be comprised of his or
her Grandfathered Account under the Grandfathered Plan and his or her Non-Grandfathered Account
under the Plan.

     The Plan is maintained for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and,
therefore, it is intended that the Plan will be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.
The Plan is not intended to qualify under Code Section 401. The Plan is intended to comply with
the requirements of Code Section 409A.

Compensation, in 1% increments, for each payroll period in such Year beginning with the payroll

     5.2 Distribution Upon Death. In the event of the Participant’s death, the
Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary. In the event the Participant
has not designated a Beneficiary or the Beneficiary so designated predeceases the Participant, then
benefits shall be paid to the Participant’s estate or as provided by law. If distribution of
benefits has not already commenced pursuant to Section 5.1, distribution of benefits shall commence
no later than 90 days following the Participant’s death, provided that Beneficiary may not

commencement date is at least five (5) years after the first distribution would otherwise be made,
and (iii) the new election is not effective until twelve (12) months after the date the new
election is made. No participant may change the form of payment initially elected more than
once. For purposes of subsequent changes in the time and form of payment under Code Section 409A,

request a withdrawal of all or a portion of his or her vested Account on account of a
severe financial hardship in accordance with such rules and procedures prescribed by
the Committee. The Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall be paid the
withdrawal amount as soon as practicable after the Committee approves his or her
request. The payment of this withdrawal amount shall not be subject to the deduction
limitation under Code Section 162(m).
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the Committee determines that a Participant has incurred a severe financial
hardship, the Committee may make a cash distribution to the Participant of the portion
of the vested balance of his or her Account needed to satisfy the severe financial
hardship (including taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution), to
the extent that the severe financial hardship may not be relieved:

	 	(1)	 	Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
otherwise; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	By liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the
liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship.

determined by the Committee, resulting from:

	 	(1)	 	A sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant
or of a dependent or close family member of the Participant;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Any other events specified as “unforeseeable emergencies” under
Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance thereunder;

modification without the consent of the Participant or Beneficiary affected thereby. The Committee
may terminate the Plan, and distribute all vested accrued benefits, subject to the restrictions set
forth in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4). 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

to establish rules and regulations; to delegate responsibilities to others to assist it in
administering the Plan or performing any responsibilities hereunder; and to perform all other acts
it believes reasonable and proper in connection with the administration of the Plan.

     The interpretation of the Plan or other action of the Committee made in good faith in its sole
discretion shall be subject to review only if such an interpretation or other action is without a
rational basis. Any review of a final decision or action of the Committee shall be based only on
such evidence presented to or considered by the Committee at the time it made the decision that is
the subject of the review. The Company and any Affiliated Company whose Employees are covered by
the Plan and any Employee who is or may be covered by the Plan hereby consent to actions of the

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS

     8.1 Company’s Obligations Unfunded. All benefits due a Participant or Beneficiary
under the Plan are unfunded and unsecured and are payable out of the general funds of the Company
or Affiliated Company. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may establish a grantor
trust for the payment of benefits and obligations hereunder, the assets of which shall be at all
times subject to the claims of creditors of the Company or the respective

- 10 -

 

Affiliated Company for which the Participant was employed when Basic Matched Contributions,
Supplemental Matched Contributions, Basic Unmatched Contributions and Company Matching
Contributions were made for such Participant 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.

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

     8.3 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
Participant 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 Participant 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 8.3, 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). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, benefits payable from the Plan
under this Section 10.1 to an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order
shall be paid only in the form of a lump sum payment as soon as practicable after the order is
determined to constitute a qualified domestic relations order. 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.

     8.4 Address of Participant or Beneficiary. A Participant shall keep the Committee
apprised of the Participant’s current address and that of any Beneficiary at all times during
participation in the Plan. At the death of a Participant, a Beneficiary who is entitled to receive
payment of benefits under the Plan shall keep the Committee apprised of such Beneficiary’s current
address until the entire amount to be distributed has been paid.

     8.5 Taxes. The Company shall satisfy any federal, state, or local tax withholding
obligation from any payment due hereunder. The Company shall satisfy any withholding obligation
for the employee portion of employment taxes resulting from vesting of amounts credited to a
Participant’s Account through the reduction of a Participant’s paycheck in an amount necessary to
satisfy such tax obligation.

in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri.

     8.7 Claims and Appeals Procedures. A Participant 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:

	 	(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 one hundred and twenty
(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 a Participant, a Beneficiary or
alternate payee 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 a Participant, a Beneficiary or
alternate payee, or any representative of the Participant, the Beneficiary or alternate payee, from
bringing the claim or cause of action. Correspondence or other communications following the
mandatory appeals process described in this Section 10.5 shall have no effect on this one (1) year
time frame.

     8.8 Disability Claims and Appeals Procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section 8.8 above, if a determination of Disability must be made in order to decide a
claim, the claim shall be considered a Disability claim and shall be subject to the following
procedures.

     The Committee shall process each Disability claim and make an initial decision as to the
validity of the claim within a reasonable period of time, but no later than forty-five (45) days
after receipt of the claim. If the Committee determines that an extension to process the
Disability claim is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Committee, the Committee may
extend the 45-day response period for up to thirty (30) days by notifying the claimant, prior to
the termination of the initial 45-day period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time
and the date by which it expects to render a decision. If the Committee determines that an
additional extension to process the Disability claim is necessary due to matters beyond the control
of the Committee, the Committee may extend the response period for up to an additional thirty (30)
days by notifying the claimant, prior to the termination of the first 30-day extension period, of
the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which it expects to render a
decision. An extension notice shall specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a
benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional
information needed to resolve those issues. If the reason for the extension is the claimant’s
failure to provide necessary information to decide the claim, the determination period shall be
tolled from the date notice of insufficiency is given, until the claimant responds to the notice.
The claimant shall have forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information.

     A claim denial shall be furnished in writing or electronically. The denial shall inform the
claimant of the specific reason or reasons for the denial, refer to the specific Plan provisions on
which the denial is based, describe any additional material or information necessary to perfect the
claim and explain why the material is necessary, describe the Plan’s 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 a denial of an appeal, refer to any specific
guidelines that were relied upon in issuing the denial, or state that such guidelines will be
provided to the claimant free of charge upon request.

     If a claimant receives notice from the Committee that a claim for benefits has been denied in
whole or in part, the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative may, within one
hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt of notice of such denial:

     (a) Make written application to the Committee for a review of the decision. Such application
shall be made on a form specified by the Committee and submitted with such documentation as the
Committee shall prescribe.

     (b) Review, upon request and free of charge, all documents, records and other information in
the possession of the Committee or the Committee which are relevant to the Disability claim.

- 13 -

 

     (c) Submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim.

     If review of a decision is requested, such review shall be made by the Committee, which shall
review all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating
to the Disability claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in
the initial benefit determination. The Committee’s review shall not afford deference to the
initial adverse benefit determination. The individual(s) conducting the decision on review shall
not be the individual(s) who made the initial adverse decision, nor the subordinates of such
individual(s).

     In the case of an appeal involving medical judgment, the Committee shall consult with a health
care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in
the medical judgment. The health care professional consulted shall be an individual who is neither
an individual who was consulted in connection with the initial denial, nor the subordinate of any
such individual.

     The decision on review shall be made within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the
Committee of the request for review. If the Committee determines that an extension to process the
appeal is necessary due to special circumstances, the Committee may extend the 45-day response
period for up to 45 days by notifying the claimant, prior to the termination of the initial 45-day
period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which it expects to
render a decision. If the reason for the extension is the claimant’s failure to provide necessary
information to decide the appeal, the determination period shall be tolled from the date notice of
insufficiency is given, until the claimant responds to the notice.

     Any denial of an appeal shall be furnished in writing or electronically. The denial shall
inform the claimant of the specific reason or reasons for the denial, refer to the specific Plan
provisions on which the denial is based, 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, state the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section
502(a) of ERISA, and refer to any specific guidelines that were relied upon in issuing the denial,
or state that such guidelines will be provided to the claimant free of charge upon request.

     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 a Participant, a Beneficiary or
alternate payee 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 a Participant, a Beneficiary or
alternate payee, or any representative of the Participant, the Beneficiary or alternate payee, from
bringing the claim or cause of action. Correspondence or other communications following the
mandatory appeals process described in this Section 10.5 shall have no effect on this one (1) year
time frame.

     8.9 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 Sections 8.7 and 8.8, as
applicable. After completing all steps of the claims and review procedures contained in Sections
8.7 and 8.8 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.

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

     8.11 Compliance with Code Section 409A. 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.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Committee has caused this 2009 Restatement of the Plan to be executed
effective as of the 23rd day of December, 2008.
