		PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL
From:	Curt Johnson
To:	Greg Lawton

The following sets forth our mutual agreement regarding your separation from the Company:

1. Salary Continuation. Your last day of work will be a date mutually agreed upon by you and the Company for transition purposes after a new CEO has been hired. We have agreed that this Termination Date will be no sooner than January 2, 2006 nor later than April 1, 2006. The Company will pay you two years base salary, flexible spending accounts at your current rate, and PBO at your current target rate in a lump sum payment within the month following the Termination Date. This payment will have all federal, state and local taxes deducted, as applicable.

2. Health Benefits. The medical, dental and vision coverage you elected under the JohnsonDiversey Choice Benefits Program will cease on your Termination Date, as defined above. At your option, you may continue your coverage for a period of 18 months by paying the full cost for you and your covered dependents. Please contact the JDI Service Center at (866) 391-0760 for more detailed information.

3. COBRA Assistance. If you elect COBRA, the Company will subsidize the medical and dental rates for the 18 months coverage period so that for the same coverage you will pay the same amount of contribution as if you were an active employee.

4. Retiree Medical Savings Account (RMSA). You will retain your RMSA Employee Account to be used for payment of healthcare expenses. You will not retain any contributions or earnings from Company Accounts.

5. Life Insurance. For options on converting core and any additional life insurance coverage, please contact the JDI Service Center.

6. Choice Benefits. As with the health benefits, the coverage you elected will cease on your Termination Date.

7. Class C Stock. Since you have tendered all of your Class C Stock and Stock Options pursuant to the tender offer for those shares, all terms and conditions of the tender offer apply to the redemption of the stock and options.

8. Restricted Stock. You will forfeit your 2000 and 2003 special retention Restricted Stock awards.

9. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. You will be eligible for a retirement benefit prorated through your Termination Date from the JohnsonDiversey, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. This benefit will be calculated pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Plan Document. Details of your calculation and payment options are available from Todd Blazei.

10. Flexible Spending Account. You will be entitled to use the remaining 2006 Flexible Spending Account of $17,500 for annual country club dues, financial planning, tax advice/preparation, estate planning, legal fees associated with estate and/or property matters, automobile lease, automobile payments (monthly payments only) and health club memberships.

11. Cash Profit Sharing. Your remaining cash profit sharing payment for calendar year 2005 will be made in June, 2006.

12. 2006 PBO. You will receive a 2006 PBO payment at the target level based on salary earned through March, 2006. This payment will be made within the month following your termination date. In consideration of this payment, you agree to be available through December, 2006 at reasonable times upon reasonable notice for consultation with the Company’s CEO.

13. JohnsonDiversey Cash Balance Plan. Your vested benefit under the JohnsonDiversey Cash Balance Plan is available to you as of your Termination Date. You will receive more detailed information.

14. 401(k) Plan. You will continue to participate in the 401(k) Plan based on your base salary up to your Termination Date. Your Plan account will be based on the date of distribution of your account to you. To access your 401(k) account, please call Fidelity at (800) 890-4015.
