          This Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will we accept tenders from or on behalf of, holders of outstanding 8.25% Senior Notes due 2018 in any jurisdiction in which the Exchange Offer or the acceptance of it would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.

 


 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
          The prospectus dated           , 2010 of Prestige Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and this letter of transmittal (as it may be amended, the “Letter of Transmittal”) together constitute our offer to exchange our outstanding unregistered 8.25% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Old Notes”) for new 8.25% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “New Notes”) (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Exchange Offer”). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”). For each Old Note that we accept for exchange, the holder of the Old Note will receive a New Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Old Note. Holders of Old Notes should carefully read the prospectus for additional information concerning the Old Notes and the Exchange Offer.
          The form and terms of the New Notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the Old Notes except that:
    the New Notes will bear a different CUSIP number from the Old Notes;
 
    the New Notes will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and therefore, the New Notes generally will be issued free from transfer restrictions; and
 
    holders of the New Notes will not be entitled to any registration rights under that certain registration rights agreement that we entered into with the initial purchasers of the Old Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
          This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by registered holders (“Holders”) of the Old Notes. This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by Holders if certificates representing Old Notes are to be physically delivered to the Exchange Agent herewith by Holders and such Holders’ tender of Old Notes are not being transmitted through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”).
          Holders who are accepting the Exchange Offer by book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC can execute their tender through ATOP. Participants of DTC that are accepting the Exchange Offer must transmit their acceptance through ATOP to DTC, which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC. DTC will then send an Agent’s Message (“Agent’s Message”) to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance. Delivery of the Agent’s Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Exchange Offer in lieu of execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the participant identified in the Agent’s Message. Accordingly, the Letter of Transmittal need not be completed by a Holder tendering through ATOP.
          Note that the Exchange Offer does not include a provision for delivering Old Notes pursuant to a notice of guaranteed delivery.
          The date on which Holders who validly tender and do not withdraw their Old Notes will receive a like amount of New Notes in respect of any Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) is expected to be promptly following the Expiration Date. Tenders may not be withdrawn at any time after 5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date (the “Withdrawal Time”) unless the Company is otherwise required by applicable law to permit the withdrawal and revocation or unless the Exchange Offer is terminated without any Old Notes being exchanged thereunder, as described in the prospectus.
          Delivery of documents to DTC or the Company does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.
          The Exchange Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, as specified in the Exchange Offer.
          The undersigned should complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action the undersigned desires to take with respect to the Exchange Offer.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
          The undersigned hereby tenders to the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal, the principal amount of Old Notes indicated in the table above entitled “Description of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2018” under the column heading “Principal Amount Tendered.” By reading and signing this Letter of Transmittal, you acknowledge receipt of the prospectus dated         , 2010 relating to the Exchange Offer.
          Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of, and exchange for, the Old Notes tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of the Company, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Old Notes tendered hereby, waives any and all other rights with respect to the Old Notes (including, without limitation, any existing or past defaults and their consequences in respect of the Old Notes and the indenture under which the Old Notes were issued) and releases and discharges the Company and the Parent from any and all claims the undersigned may have now, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, the Old Notes, including without limitation any claims that the undersigned is entitled to receive additional principal or interest payments with respect to the Old Notes or to participate in any redemption or defeasance of the Old Notes. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent the true and lawful agent of the undersigned (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company) with respect to such Old Notes, with full powers of substitution and revocation (such appointment being deemed to be irrevocable) to:
          (1) present such Old Notes and all evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or transfer ownership of, such Old Notes upon the order of the Company;
          (2) present such Old Notes for transfer of ownership on the books of Company;
          (3) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Old Notes; and
          (4) deliver to the Company and the Exchange Agent this Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, as set forth therein.
          The undersigned understands that tenders of Old Notes may be validly withdrawn by written or facsimile notice of withdrawal received by the Exchange Agent at any time prior to the Withdrawal Time, but not thereafter unless the Company is otherwise required by applicable law to permit the withdrawal and revocation.
          In the event of a termination of the Exchange Offer, Old Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be returned to the tendering Holders promptly. If the Company makes a material change in the terms of, or the information concerning, the Exchange Offer, or waives any condition of the Exchange Offer that results in a material change to the circumstances of the Exchange Offer, the Company will disseminate additional Exchange Offer materials to the Holders and extend the Exchange Offer to the extent required by law.
          The undersigned understands that tenders of Old Notes pursuant to any of the procedures described in the Exchange Offer and in the instructions hereto and acceptance of such Old Notes by the Company will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Exchange Offer. The undersigned understands that validly tendered Old Notes (or defectively tendered Old Notes with respect to which the Company has, or has caused to be, waived such defect) will be deemed to have been accepted by the Company if and when the Company gives oral (subsequently confirmed in writing) or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent.
          The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes tendered hereby, and that when such tendered Old Notes are accepted for exchange by the Company, the Company will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim or right. You further represent that the information

5


 

provided by you in this Letter of Transmittal is true and correct. The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment, transfer, and exchange of the Old Notes tendered hereby.
          You further represent and warrant on behalf of yourself and any beneficial owner of the tendered Old Notes that:
    the New Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of business for investment purposes;
 
    neither you nor any beneficial owner is our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and
 
    neither you nor any beneficial owner is engaged in, does not intend to engage in and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the New Notes.
          You agree that our acceptance from you of any tendered Old Notes and the issuance to you of New Notes in exchange will constitute performance in full of our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and that we will have no further obligations or liabilities thereunder (except as expressly provided in the Registration Rights Agreement).
          Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as described in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the New Notes issued in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by Holders of the Old Notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:
    the New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the Holders’ business for investment purposes;
 
    neither the Holders nor any beneficial owner is an “affiliate” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and
 
    neither the Holders nor any beneficial owner has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the New Notes.
          However, the SEC has not considered the Exchange Offer as described in the accompanying prospectus in the context of a no-action letter. We cannot assure you that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in the other circumstances.
          Any Holder who is an affiliate of ours or who intends to participate in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing New Notes or any broker-dealer who purchased Old Notes directly from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act:
    may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC described above;
 
    will not be permitted or entitled to tender the Old Notes in the Exchange Offer; and
 
    must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.
          Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, where such securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the New Notes. By so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution” in the prospectus.
          All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter of Transmittal shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be

6


 

binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy, personal and legal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
          The undersigned understands that the delivery and surrender of any Old Notes is not effective, and the risk of loss of the Old Notes does not pass to the Exchange Agent, until receipt by the Exchange Agent of this Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile hereof), properly completed and duly executed, together with all accompanying evidences of authority and any other required documents in form satisfactory to the Company. All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders and withdrawals of Old Notes will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding.
          Unless otherwise indicated herein under “A. Special Issuance/Delivery Instructions,” the undersigned hereby request(s) that any Old Notes representing principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for exchange be issued in the name(s) of, and delivered to, the undersigned. Unless otherwise indicated herein under “B. Special Issuance/Delivery Instructions,” the undersigned hereby request(s) that New Notes be issued to the order of, and delivered to, the undersigned.
          In the event that the box entitled “A. Special Issuance/Delivery Instructions” is completed, the undersigned hereby requests that any Old Notes representing principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for exchange be issued in the name(s) of, and be delivered to, the person(s) at the address(es) therein indicated. The undersigned recognizes that the Company has no obligation pursuant to the box entitled “A. Special Issuance/Delivery Instructions” to transfer any Old Notes from the names of the registered Holder(s) thereof if the Company does not accept for exchange any of such Old Notes so tendered.
          In the event that the box entitled “B. Special Issuance/Delivery Instructions” is completed, the undersigned hereby request(s) that the New Notes be issued in the name(s) of; and be delivered to, the person(s) at the address(es) therein indicated.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Exchange Offer
          1. Signature Guarantees. A recognized participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (each a “Medallion Signature Guarantor”) must guarantee the signatures on this Letter of Transmittal, unless the Old Notes tendered hereby are tendered:
          (a) by a registered Holder that has not completed either of the boxes entitled “Special Issuance/Delivery Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal; or
          (b) for the account of an eligible institution.
In other words, a Medallion Signature Guarantor must guarantee the signatures on this Letter of Transmittal if Old Notes are tendered other than for the account of an eligible institution and:
          (a) the Old Notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal;
          (b) Old Notes not accepted for payment or not tendered are to be returned to a person other than the registered Holder; or
          (c) Delivery of New Notes is to be made to a person other than the registered Holder. See Instruction 5.
          2. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and New Notes. A properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal or manually signed facsimile thereof (or confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC of all Old Notes delivered electronically) and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein on or prior to the Expiration Date. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.
          The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the Old Notes and any other required documents, including delivery through DTC and any acceptance or Agent’s Message delivered through ATOP, is at the option and risk of the tendering Holder. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed for such documents to reach the Exchange Agent. Except as otherwise provided in this Instruction 2, delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Exchange Agent. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering Holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Old Notes for exchange.
          3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided herein is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the principal amount represented by Old Notes should be listed on a separate schedule attached hereto.
          4. Signatures of Letter of Transmittal, Instruments of Transfer and Endorsements. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered Holders of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the signatures must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.
          If any of the Old Notes tendered hereby are registered in the name of two or more Holders, all such Holders must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any of the Old Notes tendered hereby are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittals as there are different registrations of certificates.

          If this Letter of Transmittal or any Old Notes or instrument of transfer is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, agent, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of such person’s authority to so act must be submitted.
          When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered Holders of the Old Notes listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of Old Notes or separate instruments of transfer are required unless payment is to be made, or Old Notes not tendered or purchased are to be issued, to a person other than the registered Holders, in which case signatures on such Old Notes or instruments of transfer must be guaranteed by a recognized member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program.
          If this Letter of Transmittal is signed other than by the registered Holders of the Old Notes listed, the Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in either case, signed exactly as the name or names of the registered Holders appear on the Old Notes and signatures on such Old Notes or instruments of transfer are required and must be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor, unless the signature is that of an eligible institution.
          5. Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions. If New Notes are to be issued in the name of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate “Special Issuance/Delivery Instructions” boxes above on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. All Old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer and not accepted for exchange will be returned by crediting the account at DTC from which such Old Notes were delivered.
          6. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Exchange. The exchange of Old Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, (1) a Holder will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of exchanging such Holder’s Old Notes for New Notes in the Exchange Offer; (2) the holding period of the New Notes will include the holding period of the Old Notes exchanged therefor; and (3) the adjusted basis of the New Notes received will be the same as the adjusted basis of the Old Notes exchanged therefor immediately before such exchange.
          7. Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay or cause to be paid all transfer taxes, if any, required to be paid by the Company with respect to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If a New Note is to be made to, or if Old Notes not tendered for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer are to be registered in the name of any persons other than the registered owners, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of the Old Notes in connection with the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the amount of any transfer tax (whether imposed on the registered Holder or such other person) payable on account of the transfer to such other person will be payable by the tendering Holder. Unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such transfer taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering Holder.
          8. Waiver of Conditions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the conditions of the Exchange Offer may be waived by the Company in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, in the case of any Old Notes tendered.
          9. Withholding Tax; Internal Revenue Service Forms. To avoid the potential application of U.S. federal withholding taxes, each exchanging Holder (or other payee) should complete and provide to the Exchange Agent a substitute Form W-9, in the case of a U.S. Holder, or an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or other appropriate IRS Form W-8, in the case of a non-U.S. Holder. Each U.S. Holder, when completing a substitute Form W-9, is required to provide the U.S. Holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) (generally the U.S. Holder’s Social Security or Employer Identification Number), along with certain other information, and to certify under penalties of perjury that the U.S. Holder is a U.S. person, that such TIN is correct (or that such U.S. Holder is awaiting a TIN) and that the U.S. Holder is not subject to backup withholding. Alternatively, a U.S. Holder can prevent backup withholding by providing a basis for exemption from backup withholding. Failure to provide the correct information on substitute Form W-9 or an adequate basis for an exemption from the obligation to provide such information may subject the exchanging U.S. Holder to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS and backup withholding at a rate of 28% of the reportable payments made with respect to the

10


 

Old Notes. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. A substitute Form W-9, along with the accompanying instructions, has been included with this Letter of Transmittal for completion by each U.S. Holder.
          Non-U.S. Holders should not complete a substitute Form W-9. Instead, to avoid U.S. federal withholding taxes, each Non-U.S. Holder should complete an IRS Form W-8BEN (or other appropriate type of IRS Form W-8). In the case of Non-U.S. Holders for which IRS Form W-8BEN is the appropriate form, IRS Form W-8BEN requires a Non-U.S. Holder to provide such Non-U.S. Holder’s name and address, along with certain other information, and to certify, under penalties of perjury, that such Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person. Non-U.S. Holders may obtain an IRS Form W-8BEN and instructions (or other appropriate IRS Form W-8) from the Exchange Agent or from the IRS’s website (http://www.irs.gov).
          Failure to include a properly completed substitute Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN may result in the application of U.S. withholding taxes.
          Payments attributable to accrued but unpaid interest made to a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding tax unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides proper certification on an applicable IRS Form W-8. Please see “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” of the accompanying prospectus.
          Treasury Department Circular 230 Disclosure: Any discussion of tax issues set forth in this Letter of Transmittal was written in connection with the promotion and marketing of the transactions described in this Letter of Transmittal. Such discussion was not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used, by any person for the purpose of avoiding any tax penalties that may be imposed on such person. Each investor should seek advice based on its particular circumstances from an independent tax adviser.
          10. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Any questions or requests for assistance or additional copies of the prospectus or this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the telephone number and location listed on the back cover.
          11. Partial Tenders. Tenders of Old Notes will be accepted only in aggregate principal amounts equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If Holders wish to tender with respect to less than the entire aggregate principal amount evidenced by any Old Notes submitted, such Holders must fill in the aggregate principal amount that is to be tendered in the column entitled “Principal Amount Tendered” in the table above entitled “Description of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2018.” In the case of a partial tender of Old Notes, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, new certificates for the remainder of the Old Notes that were evidenced by such Holder’s old certificates will be sent to such Holder, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box of this Letter of Transmittal. The entire aggregate principal amount that is represented by Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered in the Exchange Offer with respect to the entire aggregate principal amount of such Old Notes, unless otherwise indicated.
          12. Brokerage Commissions. No brokerage commissions are payable by Holders of the Old Notes to the Company or the Exchange Agent.
IMPORTANT: This Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile hereof), together with the Old Notes and all other required documents, must be received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date with respect to Holders wishing to receive a like amount of New Notes.
Tendering your Notes may have tax consequences. Please see “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” of the accompanying prospectus.

GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFICATION OF TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER ON SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9
Guidelines for Determining the Proper identification Number to Give the Payer. Social Security Numbers have nine digits separated by two hyphens: i.e., 000-00-0000. Employer Identification Numbers have nine digits separated by only one hyphen: i.e., 00-0000000. The table below will help determine the number to give the payer. All “Section” references are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE. Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend, interest, or other payments to give Taxpayer Identification Numbers to payers who must report the payments to the IRS. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your return. Payers must be given the numbers whether or not recipients are required to file tax returns. Payers must generally withhold 28% of certain payments to a payee who does not furnish a Taxpayer Identification Number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
PENALTIES.
(1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number. If you fail to furnish your Taxpayer Identification Number to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
(2) Civil Penalty for False Information with Respect to Withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.

(3) Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
(4) Misuse of Taxpayer Identification Numbers. If the requester discloses or uses Taxpayer Identification Numbers in violation of Federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
