EX-10.13 39 dex1013.txt EMPLOYMENT LETTER EXHIBIT 10.13 A R M K E L - ----------- September 26, 2001 Mr. Adrian Huns Two Research Way Princeton, NJ 08543 Re: Employment with Armkel, LLC Dear Adrian: As you know, Armkel, LLC, a joint venture formed by Church & Dwight Co., Inc. and Kelso Co., Inc., has entered into an agreement to purchase various assets from Carter-Wallace. The acquisition is expected to occur on September 28, 2001. As you also know, we are currently negotiating and hopefully finalizing a new employment agreement with you. However, in case the new agreement cannot be executed prior to the Effective Time of the acquisition, we wanted to assure you that the terms and conditions of your current employment/change in control agreement would remain in force, and that, upon the closing of the acquisition, we will assume all obligations thereunder from Carter-Wallace and perform those obligations in the same manner and to the same extent as Carter-Wallace would have been required to perform. In particular, contingent upon the acquisition, we would like to offer you the position of President, International Consumer Affairs Products Division with Armkel, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of Armkel, at your current salary and with benefits substantially the same in the aggregate as under your current Carter-Wallace plans. In addition, your split-dollar life insurance arrangement and any cash build-up thereunder would be transferred from Carter-Wallace to Armkel. We have included a brief benefits summary sheet with this package, and a complete benefits orientation will take place shortly after the acquisition. Of course, the terms of this offer may be superseded by any subsequent employment agreement we enter into. As you know, Church & Dwight has been one of the fastest growing consumer products companies in the United States. We look forward to you joining our team and believe you will have a successful, rewarding career with Armkel.
