by
and among Spectrum Brands, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), and
each of the holders of the Company's 8 ½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013
(the "Notes") which have executed and become a party to this Agreement
(individually, a "Consenting Noteholder" and collectively, the "Consenting
Noteholders").
WHEREAS,
the Company issued the Notes pursuant to that certain indenture dated as of
September 30, 2003, by and among the Company, as issuer, the Subsidiary

a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 7, 2005, and a Fourth
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 3, 2005 (such indenture, as so amended,
the "Indenture"); and
WHEREAS,
each Consenting Noteholder currently holds the aggregate principal amount of
Notes set forth beneath such Consenting Noteholder's name on the signature
pages
hereto, and each Consenting Noteholder desires to exchange all of the Notes
it
holds for a like principal amount of New Notes (as defined below), subject
to
the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS,
this Agreement sets forth the terms on which the Consenting Noteholders have
agreed (i) to exchange such Consenting Noteholder's Notes for a like principal
amount of new notes (the "New Notes") having substantially the terms set forth
on the Exhibit A attached hereto, (ii) to provide consents reflecting the
Proposed Amendments (as defined below) to the amendment of the Indenture in
connection with the Exchange Offer and (iii) to forbear from taking certain
actions;
NOW,
THEREFORE,
in
consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby
agree
as follows:
1. The
Exchange Offer.
(a)
The
Company shall commence, not later than March 16, 2007, an offer (the "Exchange
Offer") to all eligible holders of the Notes (each a "Noteholder" and
collectively the "Noteholders") to exchange any and all Notes for New Notes.
In
conjunction with the Exchange Offer, the Company will solicit consents (the
"Consent Solicitation") to proposed amendments to the Indenture to eliminate
substantially all of the restrictive covenants (including all such covenants
which do not require the consent of each affected holder for amendment),
eliminate or modify certain events of default and eliminate or modify related
provisions in the Indenture (the "Proposed Amendments") and a waiver of any
alleged default or existing default under the Indenture that is known to or
has
been asserted by the Consenting Noteholders and an agreement from taking certain
actions under any other debt agreement or instrument of the Company
(collectively, the "Waiver").
(b) |
The
Company's obligation to consummate the Exchange Offer will be conditioned
upon (i) the entering into by the Company of a credit agreement with
respect to the refinancing, including pursuant to any substitution,
amendment or replacement thereof, of the Company's existing senior
credit
facilities, on substantially similar terms to those set forth in
a
commitment letter that shall have been obtained prior to commencement
of
the Exchange Offer, (ii) the receipt by the Company of the Waiver
from
holders of at least a majority of the Notes, (iii) the execution
and
delivery by the Trustee of a supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental
Indenture") to the Indenture implementing the Proposed Amendments,
(iv)
the qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 of the indenture
for the New Notes, if required, and the availability of an exemption
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Exchange
Offer, and (v) other customary conditions which are reasonable and
customary in exchange offers such as the Exchange Offer. The Company
will
use its reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions to the Exchange
Offer.
|
(c) |
As
promptly as practicable on or after the tenth business day after
the
commencement of the Exchange Offer the Company shall, and shall procure
that the guarantors to the Existing Indenture shall, execute and
deliver
the Supplemental Indenture. Following the execution and delivery
of the
Supplemental Indenture and the satisfaction of the other conditions
to the
Exchange Offer, the Company will accept for exchange and exchange
all
Notes that have been validly tendered by Consenting Noteholders as
of such
time (the date of such exchange, the "Settlement Date"). Subject
to the
terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, the Company will accept
for
exchange and exchange all Notes validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn
in the Exchange Offer.

2. Agreement
to Forebear.
Each
Consenting Noteholder hereby agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit
any
of its affiliates to, or direct, solicit or encourage any other person to,
exercise, or seek to exercise, whether individually or jointly with any other
Noteholder, any rights or remedies, including any rights under Section 6.02
or
6.05 of the Indenture, that Noteholders or the Trustee may have under the
Indenture or otherwise in connection with any Default or Event of Default (each
as defined in the Indenture) that exists on the date of this Agreement that
is
known to or has been asserted by the Consenting Noteholders, as a result of
the
Company failing to comply with any of its covenants (other than any payment
covenants) set forth in the Indenture or the Notes, and further agrees not
to
take, or permit any of its affiliates, or direct, solicit or encourage any
other
person, to take, any action, including the giving of any notice, under any
other
debt agreement or instrument of the Company that would be inconsistent with
the
foregoing agreements had such action been taken under the Indenture. Each
Consenting Noteholder also agrees to the rescission of any declaration of
acceleration which may be made by the Trustee or any holders of Notes with
respect to such Defaults or Events of Default during the term of this
Agreement.
3. Agreement
to Exchange.
Promptly following commencement of the Exchange Offer, each Consenting
Noteholder will tender its Notes for exchange in the Exchange Offer and not
revoke such tender, and consent to the Proposed Amendments and the Waiver and
not revoke such consent.

doubt, the reasonable fees and expenses of Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx LLP with respect

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
10. Not
an
Amendment or Waiver.
It is
acknowledged and agreed, that except as expressly provided for herein, the
entering into this Agreement does not constitute a full or partial amendment
or
waiver of any of such Consenting Noteholder's rights or remedies under the
Indenture, the Notes or at law or otherwise, and each Consenting Noteholder
hereby reserves such rights and remedies.
11. Termination
of Agreement.

Agreement may be terminated by the Company or Consenting Noteholders
beneficially owning at least 70% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
held by all Consenting Noteholders by notice by the Company or the Consenting
Noteholders, as applicable, to the other, (i) upon the breach by the
non-terminating party of any of the representations, warranties or covenants
in
this Agreement and (ii) at any time from and after April 10, 2007 in the event
that the Settlement Date has not occurred on or prior thereto; provided,
however, that the right to terminate this Agreement shall not be available
to
the Company or the Consenting Noteholders where the failure of the Settlement
Date to so occur has resulted from the breach by the party wishing to terminate
of its respective obligations hereunder.
(b) None
of
the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the consummation of the Exchange Offer,
unless the termination pursuant to (a)(ii) above is being challenged by one
