Re: Warrants

conditions of the Warrants issued by Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (“Company”) to JPMorgan Chase Bank,
National Association, London Branch (“Dealer”) as of the Trade Date specified below (the
“Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA
Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and
serve as the final documentation for this Transaction.

     The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the
“Equity Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
(“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the
Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. This Transaction shall
be deemed to be a Share Option Transaction within the meaning set forth in the Equity Definitions.

     Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has
engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other
material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.

1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Company as to
the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall
supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master
Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Company had executed an agreement in such form (but
without any Schedule except for the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing
law (without reference to choice of law doctrine)) on the Trade Date. In the event of any
inconsistency between provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will
prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby
agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be
governed by the Agreement.

	 	For any Expiration Date, the Number of Warrants that have not
expired or been exercised as of such day, divided by the remaining number of Expiration
Dates (including such day), rounded down to the nearest whole number, subject to
adjustment pursuant to the provisos to “Expiration Date(s)”.

equal to the Daily Number of Warrants (as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof) for such
Expiration Date will be deemed to be automatically exercised; provided that
“In-the-Money” means that the Relevant Price for such Expiration Date exceeds the Strike
Price for such Expiration Date; and provided further that all references in Section
3.4(b) of the Equity Definitions to “Physical Settlement” shall be read as references to
“Net Share Settlement”.
	 
	 	 
	     Market Disruption Event:

	 	Section 6.3(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by
replacing clause (ii) in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption, or” and

the Share Delivery Quantity of Shares for such Settlement Date to the account specified
hereto free of payment through the Clearance System.
	 
	 	 
	     Share Delivery Quantity:

	 	For any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, as calculated by
the Calculation Agent, equal to the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date
divided by the Settlement Price on the

3

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	Valuation Date in respect of such Settlement Date,
rounded down to the nearest whole number plus any
Fractional Share Amount.
	 
	 	 
	     Net Share Settlement Amount:

	 	For any Settlement Date, an amount equal to the product of
(i) the Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on the relevant Exercise Date,
(ii) the Strike Price Differential for such Settlement Date and (iii) the Warrant
Entitlement.
	 
	 	 
	     Settlement Price:

	 	For any Valuation Date, the per Share volume-weighted average price as
displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page NWL.N <equity> AQR
(or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from the scheduled opening time of
the Exchange to the Scheduled Closing Time on such Valuation Date (or if such
volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such
Valuation Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent determines
that such Expiration Date shall be an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of
Warrants, as described above, then the Settlement Price for the relevant Valuation Date
shall be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Valuation Date on the
Exchange, as determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it deems
appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date
for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.

	Other Applicable Provisions:

	 	The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 of
the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to
“Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Net Share Settled.” “Net Share Settled”
in relation to any Warrant means that Net Share Settlement is applicable to that Warrant.
	 
	 	 
	Representation and Agreement:

	 	Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the parties
acknowledge that any Shares delivered to Dealer may be, upon delivery, subject to restrictions
and limitations arising from Company’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable
securities laws.
	 
	 	 
	3. Additional Terms applicable
to the Transaction:

Warrants and the Warrant Entitlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash dividends or
distributions on the Shares, whether or not extraordinary, shall be

8. Representations and Warranties of Company

The representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 1 of the Underwriting Agreement
(the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of March 24, 2009 among Company and Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. as representatives of the Underwriters
are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to Dealer as if set forth herein.
Company hereby further represents and warrants to Dealer that:

	 	(a)	 	Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations in respect of this Transaction; such execution, delivery and
performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s
part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company
and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and
remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity,
including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and
except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by
federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or
performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a
breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of
Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree
of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to
which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such
agreement or instrument.
	 
	 	(c)	 	No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any
governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been
obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) or state securities laws.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Shares of Company initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the
net share settlement method (the “Warrant Shares”) have been reserved for issuance by
all required corporate action of Company. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized
and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in
lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrant following the
exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrant,
will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant
Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Company is not and will not be required to register as an “investment company”
as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in
Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”)) because one or
more of the following is true:
	 
	 	 	 	Company is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other
entity and:

8

 

	 	(A)	 	Company has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the obligations of Company hereunder are guaranteed, or
otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other
agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through
(iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or
	 
	 	(C)	 	Company has a net worth in excess of USD 1,000,000 and has
entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of Company’s
business or to manage the risk associated with an asset or liability owned or
incurred or reasonably likely to be owned or incurred by Company in the conduct
of Company’s business.

	 	(g)	 	Company and each of its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of
any material non-public information with respect to Company.

9. Other Provisions:

	 	(a)	 	Opinions. Company shall deliver to Dealer, on or prior to the Premium
Payment Date, an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Premium Payment Date, with respect
to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (d) of this Confirmation, and
delivery of such opinion to Dealer shall be a condition precedent for the purposes of
Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under
Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Repurchase Notices. Company shall, on any day on which Company effects
any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Dealer a written notice of such repurchase (a
“Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of
outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less
than 250 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 14
million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase
Notice. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and
controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses
(including losses relating to Dealer’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming,
or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any
forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses
in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several,
which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Company’s
failure to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner
specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request,
each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in
connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in
connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding
(including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be
brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall
promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified
Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such
proceeding. Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall
not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement
of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the
indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person
or insufficient in respect of

9

 

	 	 	 	any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company under
such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this
paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may
otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and
in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Regulation M. Company is not on the date hereof engaged in a
distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of any securities of Company, other than (i) a
distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10)
and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of the USD 300,000,000
principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2014. Company shall not, until the
second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, engage in any
such distribution.
	 
	 	(d)	 	No Manipulation. Company is not entering into this Transaction to
create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible
into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the
price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares)
or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Transfer or Assignment. Company may not transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Transaction without the prior written consent of Dealer. Dealer
may, without Company’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or
obligations under this Transaction to any third party. If at any time at which (1) the
Section 16 Percentage exceeds 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity Percentage exceeds 14.5%, or
(3) the Share Amount exceeds the Post-Effective Limit (if any applies), Dealer is
unable after using its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a transfer or
assignment of Warrants to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to
Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer such that (1) the
Section 16 Percentage will be equal to or less than 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity
Percentage will be equal to or less than 14.5%, and (3) the Share Amount will be equal
to or less than any such Post-Effective Limit, then Dealer may designate any Exchange
Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction
(the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination (1) the
Section 16 Percentage will be equal to or less than 7.5%, (2) the Warrant Equity
Percentage will be equal to or less than 14.5%, and (3) the Share Amount will be equal
to or less than such Post-Effective Limit. In the event that Dealer so designates an
Early Termination Date with respect to a Terminated Portion, a payment shall be made
pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been
designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a
Number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants underlying the Terminated Portion,
(2) Company shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination
and (3) the Terminated Portion shall be the sole Affected Transaction (and, for the
avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is
payable by Company to Dealer pursuant to this sentence as if Company was not the
Affected Party). The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed
as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Dealer and
each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16
of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder (the “Dealer Group”) directly or
indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of
Shares outstanding. The “Warrant Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction,
expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the product of (x) the Number
of Warrants and (y) the Warrant Entitlement and (B) the denominator of which is the
number of Shares outstanding. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares
that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of
Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation
or regulatory order that for any reason becomes applicable to ownership of Shares after
the Trade Date (“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns,
controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership
of under the Applicable Laws,

10

 

	 	 	 	as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Post-Effective Limit”
means (x) the minimum number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or
registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval
from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or would result in an adverse effect
on a Dealer Person, under the Applicable Laws, as determined by Dealer in its
reasonable discretion, minus (y) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring
or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other
securities to or from Company, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to
purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to
perform Dealer’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee
may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to
Company to the extent of any such performance.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the
Effective Date, to and including the Expiration Date, (i) an ex-dividend date for a
cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares (an “Ex-Dividend Date”), and that
dividend differs from the Regular Dividend on a per Share basis or (ii) if no
Ex-Dividend Date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares in any quarterly
dividend period of Company, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike
Price, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve the fair value of
the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof.
“Regular Dividend” shall mean for any calendar quarter, USD 0.05 for the first cash
dividend or distribution on the Shares for which the Ex-Dividend Date falls within such
calendar quarter, and zero for any subsequent dividend or distribution on the Shares
for which the Ex-Dividend Date falls within the same calendar quarter.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc., an affiliate of Dealer (“JPMSI”), has acted solely as agent and not as
principal with respect to this Transaction and (ii) JPMSI has no obligation or
liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of
this Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each
party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect
thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under this Transaction.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, upon the
occurrence of one of the following events, with respect to this Transaction, (1)
Dealer shall have the right to designate such event an Additional Termination Event
and designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement,
and (2) Company shall be deemed the sole Affected Party and the Transaction shall be
deemed the sole Affected Transaction:

(A) Consummation of any share exchange, consolidation or merger of Company or
any other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which the Shares
will be converted into cash, securities or other property or any sale, lease or
other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or
substantially all of the consolidated assets of Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, to any person other than one of Company’s subsidiaries;
provided, however, that a transaction where the holders of all classes of
Company’s common equity immediately prior to such transaction that is a share
exchange, consolidation or merger own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
all classes of common equity of the continuing or surviving corporation or
transferee or the parent thereof immediately after such event shall not
constitute an Additional Termination Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
event set forth in this clause (A) shall not constitute an Additional
Termination Event if 100% of the consideration received or to be received by
holders of the Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional Shares, in
connection with such event consists of shares of common stock traded on the New
York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Global Select
Market (or any of their respective successors) or which will be so traded or
quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such event.

(B) (I) Company or any of its subsidiary defaults (as principal or as guarantor
or other surety) in the payment of any principal of or premium or make-whole
amount or interest on any debt that is outstanding in an aggregate principal
amount of at least $50,000,000 beyond any period of grace provided with respect
thereto resulting in such debt becoming or being declared due and payable or
(II) Company or any of its subsidiaries fails to perform or comply with any
term of any evidence of any debt in an aggregate outstanding principal amount
of at least $50,000,000 or of any mortgage, indenture or other agreement
relating thereto or any other condition exists, and as a consequence of such
failure or condition such debt has become, or has been declared, due and
payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of
payment, or (III) as a consequence of the occurrence or continuation of any
event or condition (other than the passage of time or the right of the holder
of debt to convert such debt into cash or cash and equity interests), Company
or any of its subsidiaries has become obligated to purchase or repay debt
before its stated maturity

12

 

or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment in an aggregate outstanding
principal amount of at least $50,000,000.

(C) A “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act other than Company, its subsidiaries and its and their employee benefit
plans, has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of the common equity of Company representing more
than 50% of the voting power of such common equity.

(D) Dealer, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable or
reasonably determines that it is impractical or illegal, to hedge its exposure
with respect to this Transaction in the public market without registration
under the Securities Act or as a result of any legal, regulatory or
self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures generally
applicable to transactions of the same type as the Transaction (whether or not
such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been
voluntarily adopted by Dealer).

	 	(i)	 	No Collateral or Setoff. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations
of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under this
Transaction shall not be set off by Company against any other obligations of the
parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other
agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise. Any provision
in the Agreement with respect to the satisfaction of Company’s payment obligations to
the extent of Dealer’s payment obligations to Company in the same currency and in the
same Transaction (including, without limitation Section 2(c) thereof) shall not apply
to Company and, for the avoidance of doubt, Company shall fully satisfy such payment
obligations notwithstanding any payment obligation to Company by Dealer in the same
currency and in the same Transaction. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of
the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate
amounts shall be calculated as set forth in such Section 6(e) with respect to (a) this
Transaction and (b) all other Transactions, and (2) such separate amounts shall be
payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 9(i), in the event of
bankruptcy or liquidation of either Company or Dealer neither party shall have the
right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this
Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising
under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties
hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.
	 
	 	(j)	 	Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain
Extraordinary Events. If, in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by
Company to Dealer, (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity
Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “Payment
Obligation”), Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such
Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except that
Company shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency,
Merger Event or Tender Offer in which the consideration to be paid to holders of shares
consists solely of cash or an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party
or a Termination Event in which Company is the Affected Party, other than an Event of
Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the
Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the
Agreement, in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Company’s
control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to Dealer, confirmed in writing
within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the
Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization,
Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as
applicable; provided that if Company does not validly elect to satisfy its Payment
Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, Dealer shall have the right to require
Company to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company’s or Dealer’s right to elect satisfaction of a
Payment Obligation in the Share Termination Alternative as set forth in this clause
shall only apply to Transactions under this

13

 

	 	 	 	Confirmation and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1)
separate amounts shall be calculated with respect to (a) Transactions hereunder and
(b) all other Transactions under the Agreement, and (2) such separate amounts shall
be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, subject to, in the case of
clause (a), Company’s Share Termination Alternative right hereunder.

	 	 	 
	Share Termination Alternative:

	 	If applicable, Company shall deliver
to Dealer the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the “Share
Termination Payment Date”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be
due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or
Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to paragraph (k)(i)
below, in satisfaction, subject to paragraph (k)(ii) below, of the Payment
Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Dealer free of payment.
	 
	 	 
	Share Termination Delivery Property:

	 	A number of Share Termination
Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment
Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent
shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any
fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the
value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the
Share Termination Unit Price.
	 
	 	 
	Share Termination Unit Price:

	 	The value to Dealer of property
contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share
Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery
Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by
commercially reasonable means. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of
such Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of the Payment
Obligation. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery
Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in paragraph
(k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the
discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the
case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are
Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in paragraph (k)(ii) below,
the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger
Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of a
Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the date of cancellation or the
Early Termination Date, as applicable.
	 
	 	 
	Share Termination Delivery Unit:

	 	In the case of a Termination Event,
Event of Default Additional Disruption Event or Delisting, one Share or, in the
case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event, a unit
consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received

14

 

	 	 	 
	 

	 	by a holder of one Share (without
consideration of any requirement to pay cash
or other consideration in lieu of fractional
amounts of any securities) in such
Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or
Merger Event. If such Nationalization,
Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event
involves a choice of consideration to be
received by holders, such holder shall be
deemed to have elected to receive the maximum
possible amount of cash.
	 
	 	 
	Failure to Deliver:

	 	Inapplicable
	 
	 	 
	Other applicable provisions:

	 	If Share Termination Alternative is
applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as
modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all
references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as
references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall
be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share
Termination Settled” in relation to this Transaction means that Share
Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction.

	 	(k)	 	Registration/Private Placement Procedures. If, in the reasonable
opinion of Dealer, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery
Property to Dealer hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would
be in the hands of Dealer subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any
registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such
Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or
state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under
Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination
Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the
Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “Restricted
Shares”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either
clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless Dealer waives the need for
registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants
exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the
first Settlement Date for the first Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or
Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration
Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and
the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered
Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for
such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement
terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or
Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.

	 	(i)	 	If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this
clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted
Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures
with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer;
provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the
date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that
would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act for the sale by Company to Dealer (or any affiliate designated
by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1)
or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by
Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer). The Private

15

 

	 	 	 	Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary
representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or
registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or
any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and
certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private
placement agreements for an issuance of its size, all reasonably acceptable
to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall
determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in
the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to
paragraph (j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of
Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in
a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such
Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder; provided that in no
event shall such number be greater than two times the Number of Shares (the
“Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the
date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business
Day following notice by Dealer to Company, of such applicable discount and
the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i).
For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as
set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination
Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units
pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such
Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2
above).
	 
	 	 	 	In the event Company shall not have delivered the full number of Restricted
Shares otherwise applicable as a result of the proviso above relating to the
Maximum Amount (such deficit, the “Deficit Restricted Shares”), Company
shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full
number of Deficit Restricted Shares have been delivered pursuant to this
paragraph, Restricted Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are
repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its
subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair
value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares
reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date
which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii)
Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved
for other transactions. Company shall immediately notify Dealer of the
occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares
subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of
Restricted Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Restricted
Shares thereafter.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this
clause (ii) (a “Registration Settlement”), then Company shall promptly (but in
any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its
reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a
registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration
statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, to cover the
resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale
registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations,
underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable),
indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other
documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all
reasonably acceptable to Dealer. If Dealer, in its sole reasonable discretion,
is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement
Settlement shall apply. If Dealer is satisfied with such procedures and
documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such
registration statement during a period (the “Resale Period”) commencing on the
Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for
the avoidance of doubt, shall be (x) the Share Termination Payment Date in case
of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j)
above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for
all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange
Business Day on which Dealer completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in
the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number
of

16

 

	 	 	 	Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or
exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which
all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or
similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(2) (or any similar
provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon
which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate
pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule
145(d)(2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act.
If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such
resale, Company shall transfer to Dealer by the open of the regular trading
session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following
the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the “Additional
Amount”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“Make-whole Shares”) in an amount
that, based on the Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as
if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such
Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The
Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares.
If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements
and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision
shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero.
In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than
the Maximum Amount.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company
agrees that any Restricted Shares delivered to Dealer, as purchaser of such
Restricted Shares, (i) may be transferred by and among Dealer and its
affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by
Dealer and (ii) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year
from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c)
are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed after any Settlement
Date for such Restricted Shares, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the
transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to
any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request
by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Company or such transfer agent,
without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent,
agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax
stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such
affiliate of Dealer).

	 	 	 	If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be
effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect
such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute
an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party.
	 
	 	(l)	 	Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions
hereof, Dealer may not exercise any Warrant hereunder, have the “right to acquire”
(within the meaning of NYSE Rule 312.04(g)) Shares upon exercise of any Warrant
hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and
Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent
(but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of
such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the
Post-Effective Limit, or (ii) Dealer Group would directly or indirectly beneficially
own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of the lesser of (A) 7.5% of the then
outstanding Shares or (B) 13,577,900 Shares (the “Threshold Number of Shares”). Any
purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only
to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the
Post-Effective Limit, or (ii) Dealer Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially
own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. If any delivery owed to Dealer
hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s
obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such
delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day
after, Dealer gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount
would not exceed the Post-Effective

17

 

	 	 	 	Limit, and (ii) Dealer Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in
excess of the Threshold Number of Shares.

	 	(m)	 	Share Deliveries. Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent
the holder of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for
90 days (it being understood that Dealer will not be considered an affiliate under this
paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Shares pursuant to this Transaction), and
otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 of the
Securities Act applicable to it, any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery
Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the
Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not
satisfied with respect to Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the
Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for
such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, to remove, any legends referring to
any restrictions on resale under the Securities Act from the Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Property. Company further agrees that any delivery of Shares or
Share Termination Delivery Property prior to the date that is 6 months from the Trade

action by Dealer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees that
any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by
book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at
the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery
Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the
Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation
thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade
Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent
necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the
Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share
Termination Delivery Property.
	 
	 	(n)	 	Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that
no representative, agent or attorney of the other party has represented, expressly or
otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or
proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the
other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among
other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.
	 
	 	(o)	 	Tax Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions
concerning the Transaction, Company and each of its employees, representatives, or
other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the
tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Company relating to
such tax treatment and tax structure.
	 
	 	(p)	 	Maximum Share Delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Confirmation or the Agreement, in no event will Company be required to deliver more
than the Maximum Amount of Shares in the aggregate to Dealer in connection with this
Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Restricted Shares
	 
	 	(q)	 	Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone, in whole or in part, any
Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all
of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate
adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration
Dates) if Dealer determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such
extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge
unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable Dealer
to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or
settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Issuer or an
affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in

	 	 	 	compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or
with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer.
	 
	 	(r)	 	Status of Claims in Bankruptcy. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that
this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights against Company with
respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of
Company in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Company; provided that nothing
herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the
event of a breach by Company of its obligations and agreements with respect to the
Transaction; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to
limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
	 
	 	(s)	 	Securities Contract; Swap Agreement. The parties hereto intend for:
(a) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in
the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and
the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections,
Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b)
a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other
party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code; and (c)
each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute
a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the
Bankruptcy Code.
	 
	 	(t)	 	Delivery or Receipt of Cash. For the avoidance of doubt, other than
receipt of the Premium by Company, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as
requiring Company to cash settle this Transaction, except in circumstances where such
cash settlement is within Company’s control (including, without limitation, where
Company elects to deliver or receive cash, where Company fails timely to elect the
Share Termination Alternative, or where Company has made Private Placement Settlement
unavailable due to the occurrence of events within its control ) or in those
circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash.

Re: Call Option Confirmation and Warrant Confirmation

     Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (“Company”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London
Branch (“Dealer”) concurrently herewith are entering into a call option transaction (the “Call
Option Transaction”) to purchase from Dealer a number of options exercisable into Shares pursuant
to a letter agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Call Option Confirmation”) and a warrant
transaction (the “Warrant Transaction”, together with the Call Option Transaction, the
“Transactions”) to sell to Dealer a number of options exercisable into Shares pursuant to a letter
agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Warrant Confirmation”, together with the Call Option
Confirmation, the “Confirmations”).

     This letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) hereby confirms the agreement between Dealer
and Company as follows:

     1. Terms Used but Not Defined Herein. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Call Option Confirmation or the Warrant
Confirmation, as applicable.

     2. Representations and Warranties of Company. Company represents and warrants to
Dealer that it is not entering into this Letter Agreement (i) on the basis of, and it is not aware
of, any material non-public information with respect to itself or the Shares (ii) in anticipation
of, in connection with, or to facilitate, a distribution of its securities (other than the
Convertible Notes), a self tender offer for equity securities or a third-party tender offer or
(iii) to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into
or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the
Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares).

     3. Amendment. If the Underwriters (the “Underwriters”) party to the Underwriting
Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof among Company, and Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representatives of
the Underwriters party thereto, exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes (the
“Additional Convertible Notes”), then on the closing date for the purchase and sale of the

additional Options (the “Additional Options”) equal to the number of Additional Convertible Notes
in denominations of USD 1,000 principal amount issued pursuant to such exercise; (ii) an additional
premium equal to the product of the Additional Options and USD 200.00 shall be paid by Company to
Dealer; (iii) the Number of Warrants will be automatically increased by additional Warrants (the
“Additional Warrants”) in proportion to such Additional Convertible Notes; and (iv) an

 additional
premium equal to the product of the Additional Warrants and USD 0.8176 shall be paid by Dealer to
the Company.

     4. Early Unwind. In the event the sale of Convertible Notes is not consummated with
the Underwriters for any reason by the close of business in New York on March 30, 2009 (or such
later date as agreed upon by the parties) (March 30, 2009 or such later date, the “Closing Date”)
or, with respect to any Additional Convertible Notes, on the Subsequent Closing Date as defined in
the Underwriting Agreement (the “Subsequent Closing Date” and the Closing Date or the Subsequent
Closing Date, as applicable, the “Early Unwind Date”), the Transactions (or, with respect to any
Additional Convertible Notes, the Additional Options and Additional Warrants) shall automatically
terminate (the “Early Unwind”), on the Early Unwind Date and (i) the Transactions (or, with respect
to any Additional Convertible Notes, the Additional Options and the Additional Warrants) and all of
the respective rights and obligations of Dealer and Company under the Transactions, the Additional
Options or Additional Warrants, as applicable, shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii) each
party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees not to make any claim
against the other party with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other party arising
out of and to be performed in connection with the Transactions, the Additional Options or the
Additional Warrants, as applicable, either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date; provided that
Company shall purchase from Dealer on the Early Unwind Date all Shares purchased by Dealer or one
or more of its affiliates in connection with the Transactions, up to a maximum of 3,607,948 Shares,
at the then prevailing market price as determined by the Calculation Agent. Dealer and Company
represent and acknowledge to the other that, subject to the proviso included in this Section, upon
an Early Unwind, all obligations with respect to the Transactions, the Additional Options or the
Additional Warrants, as applicable, shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

     5. Counterparts. This Letter Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if all of the signatures thereto and
hereto were upon the same instrument.

     6. Governing Law. The provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be governed by the
New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine).
