Term Loan

On December 15, 2011, the Company amended its Term Loan. As a result, the aggregate incremental amount by which the Company, subject to compliance with financial covenants and certain other conditions, may increase the amount of the commitment under the Term Loan has been increased from $100,000 to $250,000. Certain covenants in respect to indebtedness and liens were also amended to provide for dollar limits more favorable to the Company and, subject to compliance with financial covenants and certain other conditions, to allow for the incurrence of incremental unsecured indebtedness.

The Term Loan contains financial covenants with respect to debt, including, but not limited to, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, which covenants, pursuant to their terms, become more restrictive over time. In addition, the Term Loan contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. Pursuant to a guarantee and collateral agreement, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the respective obligations under the Term Loan and related loan documents and have pledged substantially all of their respective assets to secure such obligations. The Term Loan also provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness.

In connection with the amendment, the Company recorded $557 of fees in connection with the Term Loan during the six month period ended April 1, 2012. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the Term Loan. In connection with the amendment, the Company also recorded cash charges of $501 as an increase to interest expense during the six month period ended April 1, 2012.

9.5% Notes

On November 2, 2011, the Company offered $200,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Notes at a price of 108.50% of the par value; these notes are in addition to the $750,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Notes that were already outstanding. The additional notes are guaranteed by Spectrum Brands' parent company, SB/RH Holdings, LLC, as well as by existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries and secured by liens on substantially all of the Company's and the guarantors assets. The additional notes will vote together with the existing 9.5% Notes.

The indenture governing the 9.5% Notes (the "2018 Indenture") contains customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends on or redemption or repurchase of equity interests, the making of certain investments, expansion into unrelated businesses, creation of liens on assets, merger or consolidation with another company, transfer or sale of all or substantially all assets, and transactions with affiliates.

In addition, the 2018 Indenture provides for customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to make payments when due or on acceleration of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Events of default under the 2018 Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the 9.5% Notes. If any other event of default under the 2018 Indenture occurs and is continuing, the trustee for the 2018 Indenture or the registered holders of at least 25% in the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 9.5% Notes may declare the acceleration of the amounts due under those notes.

The Company recorded $106 and $3,570 of fees in connection with the offering of the 9.5% Notes during the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2012. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the 9.5% Notes.

6.75% Notes

On March 15, 2012, the Company offered $300,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Notes (the "6.75% Notes") at a price of 100% of the par value. The 6.75% Notes are unsecured and guaranteed by Spectrum Brands' parent company, SB/RH Holdings, LLC, as well as by existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the 6.75% Notes (the "2020 Indenture") contains customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends on or redemption or repurchase of equity interests, the making of certain investments, expansion into unrelated businesses, creation of liens on assets, merger or consolidation with another company, transfer or sale of all or substantially all assets, and transactions with affiliates.

In addition, the 2020 Indenture provides for customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to make payments when due or on acceleration of certain other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Events of default under the 2020 Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the 6.75% Notes. If any other event of default under the 2020 Indenture occurs and is continuing, the trustee for the 2020 Indenture or the registered holders of at least 25% in the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 6.75% Notes may declare the acceleration of the amounts due under those notes.

The Company recorded $5,814 of fees in connection with the offering of the 6.75% Notes during the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2012. The fees are classified as Debt issuance costs within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) and are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the 6.75% Notes.

12% Notes

On March 1, 2012, the Company launched a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") and consent solicitation (the "Consent Solicitation") with respect to any and all of its outstanding 12% Senior Subordinated Toggle Notes due 2019 (the "12% Notes"). Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received consents to the adoption of certain amendments to the indenture governing the 12% Notes to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions. The terms of the Tender Offer provided that holders of the 12% Notes who tendered their 12% Notes prior to the expiration of a consent solicitation period, which ended March 14, 2012, would receive tender offer consideration and a consent payment. Holders tendering their 12% Notes subsequent to expiration of the consent solicitation period, but prior to the March 28, 2012 expiration of the Tender Offer period, would receive only tender offer consideration. As of the expiration of the consent solicitation period, holders of the 12% Notes had tendered approximately $231,421 of the 12% Notes. Following the expiration of the consent solicitation period and as of the expiration of the Tender Offer period, an additional $88 of the 12% Notes were tendered. Following expiration of the Tender Offer period, the Company paid the trustee principal, prepaid interest and a prepaid call premium sufficient to obtain a notice of satisfaction and discharge ("Satisfaction and Discharge") from the trustee for the remaining approximately $13,522 of the 12% Notes not tendered. The Company delivered funds sufficient to redeem the 12% Notes on the first redemption date, August 28, 2012 (the "Redemption Date"), and has irrevocably taken all steps on its part necessary to effect such redemption, The trustee under the indenture governing the 12% Notes (the "12% Trustee") has accepted those funds in trust for the benefit of the holders of the 12% Notes and has acknowledged the Satisfaction and Discharge of the 12% Notes and the indenture governing the 12% Notes.

In connection with the Tender Offer, the Company recorded $23,777 of fees and expenses as a cash charge to Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) for the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2012. In connection with the Satisfaction and Discharge process, the Company recorded cash charges of $1,623 to Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) for the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2012. In addition, $2,097 of debt issuance costs and unamortized premium related to the 12% Notes were written off as a non-cash charge to Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) for the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2012.

ABL Revolving Credit Facility

The ABL Revolving Credit Facility is governed by a credit agreement (the "ABL Credit Agreement") with Bank of America as administrative agent. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility consists of revolving loans (the "Revolving Loans"), with a portion available for letters of credit and a portion available as swing line loans, in each case subject to the terms and limits described therein.

The Revolving Loans may be drawn, repaid and re-borrowed without premium or penalty. The proceeds of borrowings under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are to be used for costs, expenses and fees in connection with the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, for our working capital requirements, restructuring costs, and other general corporate purposes.

The ABL Revolving Credit Facility carries an interest rate, at our option, which is subject to change based on availability under the facility, of either: (a) the base rate plus currently 1.25% per annum or (b) the reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate plus currently 2.25% per annum. No principal amortizations are required with respect to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility will mature on June 16, 2014. Pursuant to the credit and security agreement, the obligations under the ABL credit agreement are secured by certain current assets of the guarantors, including, but not limited to, deposit accounts, trade receivables and inventory.

The ABL Credit Agreement contains various representations and warranties and covenants, including, without limitation, enhanced collateral reporting and a maximum fixed charge coverage ratio. The ABL Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness.
