Jarden Lux Holdings S.à r.l., Jarden Lux S.à r.l. and Jarden Lux Finco S.à r.l. are wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company.

The Credit Agreement Amendment was entered into in order to, among other things, (i) implement a facilities increase permitted under the Credit Agreement that increases the term loans outstanding thereunder in an aggregate principal amount equal to $750,000,000, comprised of an increase in respect of a new Tranche B-1 Term Loan Facility maturing on September 30, 2020, and (ii) amend, modify and/or supplement certain other agreements, obligations, covenants, representations and warranties of the parties under the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement Amendment, each existing guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the Company consented to the terms of the Credit Agreement Amendment and agreed that the terms of the Credit Agreement Amendment shall not affect in any way their obligations and liabilities under any loan document by executing that certain Consent, Agreement and Affirmation of Guaranty and Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Consent”).
