Exhibit 10.61


CLARIFYING AMENDMENT TO THE
ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.
EXECUTIVE HEALTH PLAN
FOR ACTIVE EMPLOYEES


Energizer Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") established the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Executive Health Plan (the "Plan"), effective as of April 1, 2000, to provide medical, dental and vision benefits for eligible employees and their eligible dependents and eligible retirees.
The Plan was amended and restated in its entirety effective as of March 28, 2003.
The Compensation Committee of the Company by resolution dated October 9, 2006 determined that the Plan should not be offered to new participants. The Plan document was not amended to reflect this change. However, effective from and after October 9, 2006, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company has complied with the resolution and has not designated any individual as a Covered Employee for purposes of the Plan.
The Plan was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2009 but the freeze in participation was not incorporated into that restatement.
The Plan was amended effective as of January 1, 2011 to create a separate stand-alone plan for retired employees and to rename the Plan the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Executive Health Plan for Active Employees ("Active Plan").
The Energizer Plans Administrative Committee appointed by the Company ("EPAC") is authorized to amend the Active Plan as it may deem appropriate.
EPAC now wishes to memorialize the October 9, 2006 Compensation Committee resolution freezing participation in the Plan by amending the current Active Plan document and by adopting a corresponding amendment to the stand-alone executive health plan document for retired employees and to make such other changes as necessary to reflect the adoption of the stand-alone retiree executive health plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Active Plan is amended effective as of October 9, 2006, except as otherwise provided below, as follows:
1.    Section 1.4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
1.4    "Covered Employee" means any individual who is participating in the Plan on October 9, 2006 and whose coverage is not otherwise terminated as provided in Article IX.

2.    Section 1.6 is amended, effective as of January 1, 2011, to read in its entirety as follows:
1.6    "Covered Individual" is a Covered employee or a Dependent of a Covered Employee.
