 Exhibit 10.17 

CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT 

THIS CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is made as of June 16, 2010, by SB/RH HOLDINGS, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings” or the “Guarantor”), in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, with an address at 200 Glastonbury Boulevard, Glastonbury, Connecticut
06033, in its capacity as administrative agent (together with its successors in such capacity, “Agent”) for certain financial institutions (“Lenders”; Agent and each of the Lenders is sometimes referred to
individually hereinafter as a “Guaranteed Party” and, collectively, as the “Guaranteed Parties”) party to the Loan Agreement (as defined below), and such Lenders. 

Recitals: 

Guaranteed Parties are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as at any time amended, modified,
restated or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”) with Spectrum Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Holdings (“Spectrum”), and Spectrum’s Subsidiaries listed on the signature
pages thereto, each as a borrower (together with each other wholly-owned, Domestic Subsidiary of Spectrum that, in accordance with Section 10.1.9 of the Loan Agreement, becomes a borrower thereunder after the Closing Date, collectively,
“Borrowers”), and Holdings. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Guaranteed Parties have agreed, subject to all the terms and conditions thereof, to make loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers from time to time secured by
security interests in and liens upon all or substantially all assets of Borrowers. 
 A condition set forth in the Loan
Agreement to Guaranteed Parties’ obligation to make loans or other extensions of credit to Borrowers is the Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty. 

To induce Guaranteed Parties to make loans or otherwise extend credit or other financial accommodations from time to time to Borrowers
under the Loan Agreement, the Guarantor is willing to execute this Guaranty. 
 Agreement: 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: 

1. Definitions; Rules of Construction. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement. As used herein, the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and “hereon” shall have reference to this Guaranty taken as a whole and not to any particular provision
hereof; and the word “including” shall mean “including, without limitation.” 
 2. Guaranty.
(a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to each Guaranteed Party the due and punctual payment, performance and discharge (whether upon stated maturity, demand, acceleration or otherwise in accordance with the
terms thereof) of all of the Obligations, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured, due or to become due, joint or several, primary or secondary, liquidated or unliquidated, now existing or hereafter incurred, created
or arising, and howsoever evidenced, whether created directly to or acquired by assignment or otherwise by any Guaranteed Party, and whether Borrowers may be liable individually or jointly with others, and regardless of whether recovery upon any of
such Obligations becomes barred by any statute of limitations, is void or voidable under any law relating to fraudulent obligations or otherwise or is or becomes invalid or unenforceable for any other reason (all of the Obligations being jointly
referred to 

 
herein as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” as used herein shall include all debts,
liabilities and obligations incurred by any Borrower to any of Guaranteed Parties in any bankruptcy case of such Borrower and any interest, fees or other charges accrued in any such bankruptcy, whether or not any such interest, fees or other charges
are recoverable from such Borrower or its estate under 11 U.S.C. § 506. 
 (b) No Guaranteed Party shall be
under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor or in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. If and to the extent any Guaranteed Party receives any payment on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether from a
Borrower, the Guarantor or a third party obligor or from the sale or other disposition of any Collateral) and such payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid
to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy or other insolvency law, common law or equitable cause, then the part of the Guaranteed Obligations intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if said payment had not been made. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall survive payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Guaranty. 

(c) Guaranteed Parties shall have the right to seek recourse against the Guarantor to the full extent provided for herein
and against each Borrower to the full extent provided for in any of the Loan Documents. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any Person, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of any Guaranteed Party’s
right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless such Guaranteed Party has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or
proceeding by Guaranteed Parties against any Borrower under the Loan Documents or any other instrument or agreement evidencing or securing Guaranteed Obligations shall serve to diminish the liability of the Guarantor for the balance of the
Guaranteed Obligations. 
 3. Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is a primary, immediate and original obligation of
the Guarantor; is an absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of collectibility only; is not contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by Guaranteed Parties of whatever rights or
remedies Guaranteed Parties may have against any Borrower or others, or the enforcement of any Lien or realization upon any Collateral or other security that any of Guaranteed Parties may at any time possess; and shall remain in full force and
effect without regard to future changes in conditions, including change of law or any invalidity or unenforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations or agreements evidencing same. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other present or future
guaranty or other security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, shall not be prejudiced or unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security, and is not conditioned upon or subject to the execution by any other Person of this
Guaranty or any other guaranty or suretyship agreement. 
 4. Payment and Enforcement of Guaranteed Obligations.
(a) If the Guarantor should dissolve or become insolvent (within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code), or if a petition for an order for relief with respect to the Guarantor should be filed by or against the Guarantor under any
chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or if a receiver, trustee, conservator or other custodian should be appointed for the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s property, or if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, in any such event
and whether or not any of the Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable or the maturity thereof has been accelerated or demand for payment thereof has been made, Guaranteed Parties may, without notice to the Guarantor, make the Guaranteed
Obligations immediately due and payable hereunder as to the Guarantor, and Guaranteed Parties shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder if the Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable in full. If any of the
Guaranteed Obligations are collected by or through an attorney at law, the Guarantor agrees to pay to Guaranteed Parties attorneys’ fees and court costs. The Guarantor shall be obligated to make multiple payments under this Guaranty to the
extent necessary to cause full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
  

 - 2 - 

 (b) Any and all payments by the Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any setoff, counterclaim, or subject to the Loan Agreement, withholding so that, in each case, Guaranteed Parties shall receive, after giving effect to any taxes required to be grossed up pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, the full amount that they would otherwise be entitled to receive with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (but without duplication of amounts for taxes already included in the Guaranteed Obligations). If for any reason any Borrower has
no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or if any of the Guaranteed Obligations become unrecoverable from any or all Borrowers by reason of one or more Borrowers’ insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization or by other operation of law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on the Guarantor to the same extent as if the Guarantor had at all times been the principal obligor on all such Guaranteed
Obligations. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution or reorganization of debt or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration
under the terms of any Loan Documents or other instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall nevertheless be immediately due and payable by the Guarantor. 

(c) The books and records of Guaranteed Parties showing the account between Guaranteed Parties and Borrowers shall be
admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding against or involving the Guarantor as prima facie proof of the items therein set forth, and the monthly statements of Guaranteed Parties rendered to Borrowers, to the extent no written
objection thereto is made within 30 days from the date of sending thereof to Borrowers, shall be deemed conclusively correct and shall constitute an account stated between Guaranteed Parties and Borrowers and shall be binding on the Guarantor.

 (d) The Guarantor acknowledges that Agent is authorized and empowered to enforce this Guaranty for the benefit
of all of the Guaranteed Parties and to collect from the Guarantor the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations from time to time, in Agent’s own name and without the necessity of joining any other Guaranteed Party in any action, suit or other
proceeding to enforce this Guaranty. 
 5. Specific Waivers of the Guarantor. (a) To the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, the Guarantor does hereby waive notice of each Guaranteed Party’s acceptance hereof and reliance hereon; notice of the extension of credit from time to time by Guaranteed Parties to any Borrower and the creation,
existence or acquisition of any Guaranteed Obligations; notice of the amount of Guaranteed Obligations of Borrowers to Guaranteed Parties from time to time (subject, however, to the Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of Agent to ascertain the
amount of Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time); notice of any adverse change in any Borrower’s financial condition or of any other fact that might increase the Guarantor’s risk; notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest
and notice thereof as to any instrument; notice of default or acceleration; all other notices and demands to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; any right the Guarantor may have, by statute or otherwise, to require Guaranteed Parties to
institute suit against any Borrower after notice or demand from the Guarantor or to seek recourse first against any Borrower or otherwise, or to realize upon any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, as a condition to enforcing the
Guarantor’s liability and obligations hereunder; any defense that any Borrower may at any time have or assert based upon the statute of limitations, the statute of frauds, failure of consideration, fraud, bankruptcy, lack of legal capacity,
usury, or accord and satisfaction; any defense that other indemnity, guaranty, or security was to be obtained; any defense or claim that any Person purporting to bind any Borrower to the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations did not have
actual or apparent authority to do so; any right to contest the commercial 
  

 - 3 - 

 
reasonableness of the disposition of any Collateral; any defense or claim that any other act or failure to act by any Guaranteed Party had the effect of increasing the Guarantor’s risk of
payment; and any other legal or equitable defense to payment hereunder (except any defense that Borrowers have made indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such payment has not been disgorged). 

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Guarantor also hereby waives and renounces (for itself and its
successors and assigns) any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law that would otherwise prevent Guaranteed Parties from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency,
or exercising any other right or remedy (including any right of setoff) against the Guarantor before or after any Guaranteed Party’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, whether by judicial action, by exercise of power of sale
or otherwise, or any other law that in any other manner would otherwise require any election of remedies by any Guaranteed Party; and any right that the Guarantor may have to claim or recover in any litigation arising out of this Guaranty or any of
the other Loan Documents, any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. 

6. Guarantor’s Consents and Acknowledgments. (a) The Guarantor consents and agrees that, without notice to or by
the Guarantor and without reducing, releasing, diminishing, impairing or otherwise affecting the liability or obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, any Guaranteed Party may (with or without consideration) compromise or settle any of the Guaranteed
Obligations; accelerate the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; extend the period of duration or the time for the payment, discharge or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; increase the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations; refuse to enforce, or release all or any Persons liable for the payment of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations; increase, decrease or otherwise alter the rate of interest payable with respect to the principal amount of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or grant other indulgences to any Borrower in respect thereof; amend, modify, terminate, release, or waive any Loan Documents or any other documents or agreements evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than this Guaranty); release, surrender, exchange, modify or impair, or consent to the sale, transfer or other disposition of, any Collateral or other property at any time securing (directly or indirectly) any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or on which Guaranteed Parties may at any time have a Lien; fail or refuse to perfect (or to continue the perfection of) any Lien granted or conveyed to any Guaranteed Party with respect to any Collateral, or to preserve rights to any
Collateral, or to exercise care with respect to any Collateral in any Guaranteed Party’s possession; extend the time of payment of any Collateral consisting of accounts, notes, chattel paper, payment intangibles or other rights to the payment
of money; refuse to enforce or forbear from enforcing its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or any Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any
Collateral or with any party to the Guaranteed Obligations; release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether parties to this Guaranty or not; subordinate payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations to the payment of any other liability of any Borrower; or apply any payments or proceeds of Collateral received to the liabilities of any Borrower to any Guaranteed Party regardless of whether such liabilities consist of Guaranteed
Obligations and regardless of the manner order or of any such application. 
 (b) The Guarantor is fully aware of
the financial condition of each Borrower. The Guarantor delivers this Guaranty based solely upon the Guarantor’s own independent investigation and in no part upon any representation or statement of any Guaranteed Party with respect thereto. The
Guarantor is in a position to and hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining any additional information concerning each Borrower’s financial condition as the Guarantor may deem material to its obligations hereunder, and the Guarantor is
not relying upon, nor expecting any Guaranteed Party to furnish the Guarantor, any information in any Guaranteed Party’s possession concerning Borrower’s financial condition. If any Guaranteed Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at
any time or from time to 
  

 - 4 - 

 
time to provide any information to the Guarantor regarding any Borrower, any of the Collateral or any transaction or occurrence in respect of any of the Loan Documents, such Guaranteed Party
shall be under no obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to the Guarantor on any subsequent occasion. The Guarantor hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risks encompassed within a contract of
“Guaranty,” which risks include, without limitation, the possibility that any Borrower will contract additional Guaranteed Obligations for which the Guarantor may be liable hereunder after such Borrower’s financial condition or
ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated. 
 7. Continuing Nature of Guaranty.
(a) This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid and discharged (or, in the case of Contingent Obligations, such as those arising from any Letter of Credit, Cash Collateralized
as required by the Loan Documents) and all financing commitments under the Loan Agreement or otherwise have been terminated. The Guarantor acknowledges that there may be future advances by Guaranteed Parties, after the date hereof but before the
Full Payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, to Borrowers (although Guaranteed Parties may be under no obligation to make such advances) and that the number and amount of the Guaranteed Obligations are unlimited and may fluctuate from time to time
hereafter, and this Guaranty shall remain in force at all times hereafter, whether there are any Guaranteed Obligations outstanding from time to time or not. 

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Guarantor waives any right that it may have to terminate or
revoke this Guaranty. If, notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, the Guarantor shall nevertheless have any right under Applicable Law to terminate or revoke this Guaranty, which right cannot be waived by the Guarantor, such termination or revocation
shall not be effective until a written notice of such termination or revocation, specifically referring to this Guaranty and signed by the Guarantor, is actually delivered pursuant to Section 14.3 of the Loan Agreement to the individual to
whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent; but any such termination or revocation shall not affect the obligation of the Guarantor or its successors or assigns with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to Guaranteed
Parties and existing at the time of the receipt by Agent of such revocation or to arise out of or in connection with any transactions theretofore entered into by Guaranteed Parties with or for the account of Borrowers. If any Guaranteed Party grants
loans or other extensions of credit to or for the benefit of any Borrower or takes other action after the termination or revocation by the Guarantor but prior to Agent’s receipt of such written notice of termination or revocation, then the
rights of such Guaranteed Party hereunder with respect thereto shall be the same as if such termination or revocation had not occurred. 

8. Reserved.  

9. Subordination; Postponement of Subrogation Rights. (a) Any and all present and future debts and obligations of each
Borrower to the Guarantor are hereby subordinated to the full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by such Borrower to Guaranteed Parties. If any payment shall be made to the Guarantor on account of any indebtedness owing by a Borrower to the
Guarantor during any time that any Guaranteed Obligations are outstanding, the Guarantor shall hold such payment in trust for the benefit of Guaranteed Parties and shall make such payments to Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the discretion of Guaranteed Parties. The provisions of this Guaranty shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of any Guaranteed Party or any affiliate of
any Guaranteed Party under any separate subordination agreement that such Guaranteed Party or such affiliate may at any time or from time to time enter into with the Guarantor. 

 

 - 5 - 

 (b) Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Loan
Agreement and all commitments of Guaranteed Parties thereunder have been terminated, the Guarantor shall not assert any claim, right or remedy (whether or not arising in equity, by contract or under Applicable Law) against any Borrower or any other
Person by reason of the Guarantor’s payment or other performance hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby subordinates to the full and final payment of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all legal or
equitable rights or claims that the Guarantor may have to reimbursement, subrogation, indemnity and exoneration and agrees that until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Loan Agreement and all commitments thereunder have
been terminated, the Guarantor shall have no recourse to any assets or property of any Borrower (including any Collateral) and no right of recourse against or contribution from any other Person in any way directly or contingently liable for any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, whether any of such rights arise under contract, in equity or under Applicable Law. 
 10.
Other Guaranties. If on the date of the Guarantor’s execution of this Guaranty or at any time thereafter any Guaranteed Party receives any other guaranty from the Guarantor or from any other Person of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the execution and delivery to such Guaranteed Party and such Guaranteed Party’s acceptance of any such additional guaranty shall not be deemed in lieu of or to supersede, terminate or diminish this Guaranty, but shall be construed
as an additional or supplementary guaranty unless otherwise expressly provided in such additional or supplementary guaranty; and if, prior to the date hereof, the Guarantor or any other Person has given to any Guaranteed Party a previous guaranty or
guaranties, this Guaranty shall be construed to be an additional or supplementary guaranty and not to be in lieu thereof or to supersede, terminate or diminish such previous guaranty or guaranties. 

11. Application of Payments. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or a specific agreement to the contrary, all
payments received by Guaranteed Parties from any Borrower, the Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or from proceeds of the Collateral may be applied (or reversed and reapplied) by Guaranteed Parties to the
Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, without affecting in any manner the Guarantor’s liability hereunder. 

12. Limitation on Guaranty. To the extent any performance of this Guaranty would violate any applicable usury statute or
other Applicable Law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit legally permitted, so that this Guaranty shall not require any performance in excess of the limit legally permitted, but such obligations shall be fulfilled to the
limit of legal validity. Nothing in this Guaranty shall be construed to authorize Guaranteed Parties to collect from the Guarantor any interest that has not yet accrued, is unearned or subject to rebate or is otherwise not entitled to be collected
by Guaranteed Parties under Applicable Law. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of this Guaranty. 

13. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder
at any time shall be given pursuant to Section 14.3 of the Loan Agreement at such time. 
 14. Governing Law;
Venue. This Guaranty, all acts and transactions hereunder and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of New York. All actions, suits or
proceedings arising directly or indirectly hereunder may, at the option of Agent, be litigated in courts having suits within the State of New York, and the Guarantor hereby expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located
within said state and agrees that any service of process in such action or proceedings may be made by personal service upon the Guarantor wherever the Guarantor may be then located, or by certified or registered mail directed to the Guarantor at the
Guarantor’s last known address; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Guaranteed Parties from bringing any action, enforcing any Lien or judgment or exercising any rights or remedies against the Guarantor,
against any Collateral, or against any property of the Guarantor, within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction. The Guarantor waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient form in any action
instituted under this Guaranty. 
  

 - 6 - 

 15. Successors and Assigns. All the rights, benefits and privileges of
Guaranteed Parties shall vest in and be enforceable by Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s successors and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, any Guaranteed Party may assign, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, to one or more Eligible Assignee(s) all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, whereupon each such Eligible Assignee shall
become vested with all of the rights in respect thereof granted to such Guaranteed Party herein or otherwise in respect hereof. 

16. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and may not be changed orally, and no obligation of the Guarantor can be released or waived by any Guaranteed Party or any officer or agent of any Guaranteed Party, except by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Agent. If any part
of this Guaranty is determined to be invalid, the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall be unaffected and shall remain in full force and effect. No delay or omission on any Guaranteed Party’s part to exercise any right or power arising
hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will any Guaranteed Party’s action or inaction impair any such right or power, and all of Guaranteed Parties’ rights and remedies
hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Guaranteed Parties may have under other agreements, at law or in equity. Time is of the essence of this Guaranty and of each provision hereof. The section
headings in this Guaranty are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of this Guaranty. This Guaranty may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same Guaranty and the signature page of any counterpart may be removed therefrom and attached to any other counterpart. Any manually executed signature page to this Guaranty that is delivered by a party by
facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto. 
 17. Severability. If
any provision of this Guaranty is determined to be illegal, unconscionable or unenforceable, all other terms and provisions hereof will nevertheless remain effective and will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

18. Jury Trial Waiver. The Guarantor and Guaranteed Parties (by their acceptance hereof) each hereby waives the right to
a jury trial in any action, suit, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or related to this Guaranty, and the Guarantor further waives rights arising under applicable statutes or otherwise to require any Guaranteed Party to institute suit against
any Borrower or to exhaust any Guaranteed Party’s rights and remedies against any Borrower or any Collateral, the Guarantor being bound to the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations to Guaranteed Parties, whether now existing or
hereafter accruing as fully as if such Guaranteed Obligations were directly owing to Guaranteed Parties by the Guarantor.

extent such written directions are known by the Collateral Trustee to be in conflict with any provisions of law or if the Collateral Trustee shall have received from independent counsel an unqualified opinion to the effect that following such

any Security Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. 
 (ii) No delay or
omission of the Collateral Trustee to exercise any right, remedy or power accruing upon any Actionable Default shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Actionable Default or an acquiescence

Trustee. 
  

 19 

 (iii) In case the Collateral Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any
right, remedy or power under this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document and the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to
the Collateral Trustee, then and in every such case the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights,
under this Agreement, under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and under such Security Document with respect to the Trust Estate and in all other respects, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Trustee shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been taken.

through or under them, including, without limitation, any and all subsequent creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors, expressly waive and release any, every and all rights to demand or to have any marshaling of the Trust Estate upon any sale,
whether made under any power of sale herein granted or pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of this Agreement and consents and agrees that all the Trust Estate may at any such sale be offered and sold as an
entirety. 
 (k) Limitation on Collateral Trustee’s Duties in Respect of Collateral. Beyond its duties set forth in
this Agreement and the Security Documents as to the custody thereof and the accounting to the Grantors and the Secured Parties for moneys received by it hereunder, and except as otherwise required by applicable law or expressly required by any
Secured Debt Document to which the Collateral Trustee is a party, the Collateral Trustee shall not have any duty to the Grantors and the Secured Parties as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent
or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent, however, that the Collateral Trustee or any agent or nominee thereof maintains possession or
control of any of the Collateral, the Collateral Trustee shall, and shall instruct such agent or nominee to, grant the Grantors access to and use of such Collateral that the Grantors may require for the conduct of their business; provided,
that such rights may be limited as provided in this Agreement and the other Security Documents after the Collateral Trustee shall have received a Notice of Actionable Default. 

(l) Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided by this Section 3 may be exercised only to the extent that
the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Section 3 are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling in the premises and
to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable in whole or in part or not entitled to be recorded, registered, or filed under the provisions of any applicable law. 

 

 20

Agreement (other than Section 3(b)) or any provision of any Security Document, but subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the right of each Secured Party, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payments of the
Secured Obligations held by such Secured Party on or after the due date thereof as therein expressed, to seek adequate protection in respect of its interest in this Agreement and the Collateral, to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment
on or after such due date, or to assert its position and views as a secured creditor in a Bankruptcy Proceeding, or the obligation of the Grantors, which is also absolute and unconditional, to pay in full and otherwise perform all Secured
Obligations at the time and place expressed therein shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Secured Party. 

SECTION 4. Trust Account; Application of Moneys. (a) The Trust Account. On the date hereof there shall be
established and, at all times thereafter until the trusts created by this Agreement shall have terminated, there shall be maintained with the Collateral Trustee an account that shall be entitled the “Spectrum Brands Collateral Trust” (the

Actionable Default in connection with any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral shall be deposited in the Trust Account and thereafter shall be held and applied by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. To the extent necessary, appropriate or desirable, the Collateral Trustee from time to time may establish sub-accounts as part of the Trust Account for the purpose of better identifying and
maintaining proceeds of Collateral, all of which sub-accounts shall be treated as and be deemed equivalent to, the Trust Account for all purposes hereof. 

(b) Control of Trust Account. All right, title and interest in and to the Trust Account shall vest in the Collateral Trustee, and
funds on deposit in the Trust Account shall constitute part of the Trust Estate. The Trust Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Trustee.

Collateral Trustee shall invest and reinvest moneys on deposit in the Trust Account at any time in money market funds investing in Permitted Investments (with the particular fund to be specified in writing by the Applicable Authorized

(d) Application of Moneys in Trust Account. Subject to Section 4(e) and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, all moneys held by
the Collateral Trustee in the Trust Account shall, to the extent available for distribution, be distributed (or deposited in a separate account for the benefit of the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee and the Additional Authorized
Representative pursuant to Section 4(e)) by the Collateral Trustee as follows: 
 First: To the
Collateral Trustee in an amount equal to the Collateral Trustee’s Fees that are unpaid as of the relevant Distribution Date and to any Secured Party that has theretofore advanced or paid any such Collateral Trustee’s Fees in an amount
equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party prior to such Distribution Date; 
  

 21 

 Second: To the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee and each
Additional Authorized Representative (if any) equally and ratably (in the same proportion that such unpaid Secured Obligations of the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee or such Additional Authorized Representative, as applicable, bear to
all unpaid Secured Obligations on the relevant Distribution Date) for application to the payment in full of all outstanding Secured Obligations (other than Secured Obligations paid pursuant to clause first above and Contingent Secured Obligations)
that are then due and payable to the Secured Parties (which shall then be applied or held by the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee and each such Additional Authorized Representative in such order as may be provided in the applicable
Secured Debt Documents); and 
 Third: Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or the
respective Grantor, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 In connection with the application of
proceeds pursuant to this Section 4(d), except as otherwise directed in writing by the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Collateral Trustee may sell any non-cash proceeds for cash prior to the application of the proceeds thereof.

 (e) Application of Moneys Distributable to Secured Parties. If at any time any moneys collected or received by the
Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document are distributable pursuant to Section 4(d) to the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee or any Additional Authorized
Representatives, and if the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee or such Additional Authorized Representative shall notify the Collateral Trustee that no provision is made under the applicable Term Loan Documents, Senior Secured Note
Documents or Additional Secured Debt Documents, as applicable, (i) for the application by the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee or such Additional Authorized Representative, as applicable, of such amounts so distributable (whether
by virtue of the Term Loan Obligations, the Senior Secured Note Obligations or the applicable Additional Secured Obligations not having become due and payable or otherwise) or (ii) for the receipt and the holding by the Term Loan Agent, the
Senior Indenture Trustee or such Additional Authorized Representative, as applicable, of such amounts pending the application thereof, then the Collateral Trustee shall invest, at the written direction of the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture
Trustee or such Additional Authorized Representative, all such amounts applicable to the Term Loan Obligations, the Senior Secured Note Obligations or the Additional Secured Obligations in obligations of the kinds referred to in Section 4(c)
(with the particular investment specified in writing by the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee or such Additional Authorized Representative), and shall hold all such amounts so distributable, and all such investments and the proceeds
thereof, in trust solely for the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee and/or such Additional Authorized Representative and for no other purpose until such time as the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee or such Additional
Authorized Representative shall request the delivery thereof by the Collateral Trustee to the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee or such Additional Authorized Representative, as applicable, for application by it pursuant to the Term Loan
Documents, the Senior Secured Note Documents or the Additional Secured Debt Documents, as applicable.

holder of Secured Obligations will have any liability whatsoever for any act or omission of the Collateral Trustee.

(i) The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties of any other Person contained in this Agreement, in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or in any Security Document, all of which are made solely by the Grantors. The Collateral Trustee makes no representations
as to the value or condition of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, or as to the title of the Grantors thereto or as to the security afforded by any Security Document or this Agreement or the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, or as to the validity,
execution (except its own execution), enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Security Document or the Secured Obligations secured hereby and thereby, and the Collateral Trustee shall incur no
liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters. The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for insuring the Trust Estate or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Trust Estate or otherwise as to the

Collateral Trustee to ascertain the amount of Secured Obligations then held by a 
  

 26 

 
Secured Party, the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely on a certificate of such Secured Party or its representative (including the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee or any
applicable Additional Authorized Representative) as to such amount, and if any such Secured Party or representative shall not give such information to the Collateral Trustee, such Secured Party shall not be entitled to receive distributions
hereunder (in which case such distributions shall be held in trust for such Secured Party) until it has given such information to the Collateral Trustee. 

(iii) The Collateral Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
accordance with this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

document or financing statement or for the maintenance of any security interest intended to be perfected thereby.

or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (d)
Reliance by Collateral Trustee. 
 (i) Whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Agreement the
Collateral Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established in connection with the taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder by the Collateral Trustee, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof
be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively provided or established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of any Grantor delivered to the Collateral Trustee, and such certificate shall be full warranty to the Collateral
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6(e). 

(ii) The Collateral Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and any opinion of such counsel who is not an
employee of the Collateral Trustee shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in accordance therewith. The Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek
instructions concerning the administration of the Trust Estate from any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (iii)
The Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document

  

 27 

 
that it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies and telexes, to have been sent
by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Collateral Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any Security Document. Without limitation to the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely as provided in this
Section 6(d) on any Officer’s Certificate provided by the Company pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, and may deem such information correct until such time as it receives any written modification of any such certificate from the Company
in respect thereof. 
 (iv) The Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in the Collateral Trustee by this Agreement at the request or direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative pursuant to this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document, unless the Collateral
Trustee shall have been provided adequate security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as
may be requested by the Collateral Trustee. 
 (e) Limitations on Duties of Collateral Trustee. 

(i) The Collateral Trustee shall be obliged to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or in any Security Document, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document against the Collateral Trustee and the
Collateral Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted by it in accordance with the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative pursuant to Section 3(h). 

(ii) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any
action that is discretionary with the Collateral Trustee under the provisions hereof or under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document except upon the written request of the Applicable Authorized Representative pursuant to
Section 3(h). The Collateral Trustee shall make available for inspection and copying by the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee and each Additional Authorized Representative, each certificate or other paper furnished to the Collateral
Trustee by the Company under or in respect of this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Security Document or any of the Trust Estate. 

(iii) Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement of
approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Trustee or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment,
expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not 
  

 28 

 
to be made) by the Collateral Trustee, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Trustee shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, be acting, giving, withholding,
suffering, omitting, taking or otherwise undertaking and exercising the same (or shall not be undertaking and exercising the same) as directed by the Secured Parties. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and
its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto. 

(f) Moneys to Be Held in Trust. All moneys received by the Collateral Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document shall be held in trust for the purposes for which they were paid or are held. 

(g) Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Trustee. 

(i) The Collateral Trustee may at any time, by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company, the Term Loan
Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee and each Additional Authorized Representative (if any), resign and be discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become effective upon the earlier of: (A) 30 days from the date of
such notice and (B) the appointment of a successor trustee or trustees by the Company, the acceptance of such appointment by such successor trustee or trustees, and the approval of such successor trustee or trustees by each Authorized
Representative; provided that no resignation shall become effective unless and until a successor trustee has been appointed as provided herein. The Collateral Trustee may be removed at any time and a successor trustee or trustees appointed by
each of the Authorized Representatives; provided that the Collateral Trustee shall be paid its fees and expenses to the date of removal. Any successor Collateral Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 6(g) shall be (x) a
commercial bank or other financial institution or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof having (1) a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and (2) a rating of its
long-term senior unsecured indebtedness of “A-2” or better by Moody’s or “A” or better by S&P or (y) any other Person that is acceptable to the Company and the Required Secured Parties of each Class of Secured
Obligations. If no successor trustee or trustees shall be appointed and approved within 30 days from the date of the giving of the aforesaid notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee,
any Additional Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party may, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, to appoint a successor trustee or trustees (which may be an individual or individuals) to act until
such time, if any, as a successor trustee or trustees shall have been appointed as above provided. Any successor trustee or trustees so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor trustee or
trustees appointed by the Authorized Representatives as above provided. 
  

 29 

 (ii) If at any time the Collateral Trustee shall resign or be removed or
otherwise become incapable of acting, or if at any time, a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral Trustee for any other cause, a successor trustee or trustees may be appointed by the Authorized Representatives, and the powers, duties,
authority and title of the predecessor trustee or trustees terminated and canceled without procuring the resignation of such predecessor trustee or trustees, and without any other formality (except as may be required by applicable law) than
appointment and designation of a successor trustee or trustees in writing, duly acknowledged, delivered to the predecessor trustee or trustees and Company, and filed for record in each public office, if any, in which this Agreement is required to be
filed. 
 (iii) The appointment and designation referred to in Section 6(g)(ii) shall, after any required
filing, be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts therein recited, and this Agreement shall vest in such successor trustee or trustees, without any further act, deed or conveyance, all of the estate and title
of its predecessor, and upon such filing for record the successor trustee or trustees shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall,
nevertheless, on the written request of the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Company or the successor trustee or trustees, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or successors all the estates, properties, rights,
powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such predecessor or predecessors hereunder and shall deliver all Securities and moneys held by it to such successor trustee or trustees. Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing from
any Grantor be required by any successor trustee or trustees for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor trustee or trustees the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title vested or intended to be vested in
the predecessor trustee or trustees, any and all such deeds, conveyances and other instruments in writing shall, on request of such successor trustee or trustees, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by such Grantor. 

(iv) Any required filing for record of the instrument appointing a successor trustee or trustees as hereinabove provided
shall be at the sole expense of the Grantors. The resignation of any trustee or trustees and the instrument or instruments removing any trustee or trustees, together with all other instruments, deeds and conveyances provided for in this
Section 6 shall, if permitted by law, be forthwith recorded, registered and filed by and at the expense of the Grantors, wherever this Agreement is recorded, registered and filed. 

(h) Merger of the Collateral Trustee. Any corporation into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged, or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Collateral Trustee shall transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business
(including the administration of this trust) shall be Collateral Trustee under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto. 

(i) Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee. 
  

 30 

 (i) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to
conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral shall be located, or the Collateral Trustee shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is so necessary or advisable in the interest of the Secured Parties, or the
Applicable Authorized Representative shall in writing so request the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors, or the Collateral Trustee shall deem it desirable for its own protection in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Collateral Trustee and
the Grantors shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee, execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more persons approved by the Collateral Trustee
and the Grantors, either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees of all or any of the Collateral, jointly with the Collateral Trustee originally named herein or any successor or successors, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of any such property.
In the event the Grantors shall not have joined in the execution of such instruments and agreements within 30 days after the receipt of a written request from the Collateral Trustee so to do, or in case an Actionable Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(i) without the concurrence of the Grantors, and the Grantors hereby appoint the Collateral Trustee as its agent and attorney to act for it under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 6(i) in either of such contingencies. 
 (ii) Every separate trustee
and every co-trustee, other than any trustee that may be appointed as successor to the Collateral Trustee, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions, namely:

 (A) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Collateral Trustee in respect of the
custody, control and management of moneys, papers or Securities shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee, or its successors as trustee hereunder; 

(B) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Trustee hereunder shall be
conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Collateral Trustee and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such separate trustee or separate
trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Collateral Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees; 

(C) no power given hereby to, or that it is provided hereby may be exercised by, any such co-trustee or co-trustees or
separate trustee or separate trustees, shall be exercised hereunder by such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees, except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Collateral Trustee, anything herein contained
to the contrary notwithstanding; 
  

 31 

 (D) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and 
 (E) the Grantors and the Collateral Trustee, at any time by an
instrument in writing, executed by them, may accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and in that case, by an instrument in writing executed by the Grantors and the Collateral Trustee jointly, may appoint a
successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. In the event that the Grantors shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within ten days after the
receipt of a written request from the Collateral Trustee so to do, or in case an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee
or co-trustee and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of the Grantors, the Grantors hereby appointing the Collateral Trustee its agent and attorney to act for it in such connection in either of such contingencies. In the event that the
Collateral Trustee shall have appointed a separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees as above provided, it may at any time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or
co-trustee, the successor to any such separate trustee or co-trustee to be appointed by the Grantors and the Collateral Trustee, or by the Collateral Trustee alone, as provided in this Section 6(i). 

SECTION 7. Conditions to Release of Collateral; Release Procedure.  

(a) Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trustee’s Transaction Liens upon the Collateral will be released or
subordinated under the following circumstances: 
 (i) The Transaction Liens granted by a Subsidiary Guarantor
shall terminate when each of its Secured Debt Guaranties is released pursuant to the terms of each of such Secured Debt Guaranties. 

(ii) Subject to Section 7(b), the Transaction Liens granted by all Grantors shall terminate when the Release
Conditions are satisfied; provided that the Company shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Trustee certifying that the Release Conditions have been met and that such release of the Collateral is permitted under,
and does not violate the terms of, any Secured Debt Document. 
 (iii) As to any Collateral that is sold, leased,
exchanged, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) another Grantor in a transaction or other circumstance that is permitted (or in the case of
a sale, transfer or disposition to a Subsidiary that is not a Grantor, expressly permitted) by all of the Secured Debt Documents, the Transaction Lien as to such Collateral shall be released automatically at the time of such sale, lease, exchange,
assignment, transfer or other disposition to the extent of the interest 
  

 32 

 
sold, leased, exchanged, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of; provided that, to the extent provided in the Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee’s Transaction Liens
will attach to the Proceeds received in respect of any such sale, transfer or other disposition, subject to the priorities set forth in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and Section 4(d); provided, further that the Proceeds of any
Term/Notes Priority Collateral (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) shall be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account to the extent required by the applicable Secured Debt Documents; 

(iv) At any time before the Release Conditions are satisfied, the Collateral Trustee shall, at the written request of the
Company, release any or all of the Collateral (A) (1) with respect to any Class of Secured Obligations, if consent to the release of such Transaction Liens of the Collateral Trustee on such Collateral has been given by, as applicable, the
requisite percentage or number of Term Lenders (or the Term Loan Agent on behalf of such Term Lenders), the requisite percentage or number of Senior Noteholders (or the Senior Indenture Trustee, on behalf of such Senior Noteholders) or the requisite
percentage or number of holders of indebtedness in respect of each other Series of Additional Secured Obligations (or the Additional Authorized Representative on behalf of such holders) as permitted by, and in accordance with, the applicable Secured
Debt Documents and (2) if the Company shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Trustee certifying that the conditions described in this clause (iv)(A) have been met; (B) if the ABL Agent delivers a notice to the
Collateral Agent with respect to specified Collateral pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Intercreditor Agreement requiring the release of the Transaction Liens on such Collateral; or (C) if any Collateral becomes an Excluded Asset;

 (v) If any part of the Collateral is subject to any Permitted Lien (as defined in the Security Agreement) that
is senior to the Liens securing the Collateral as a matter of law, the Collateral Agent will execute any document reasonably requested in writing by the Company to evidence such subordination; and 

(vi) If any part of the Collateral is secured by a Lien securing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Sections 6.01(f) and
6.01(g) of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, clause (b)(4) of the definition of Permitted Debt in the Senior Secured Note Indenture and the equivalent provision of any Additional Secured Debt Facility, and the terms of such Indebtedness (or of the
Lien securing such Indebtedness) either prohibit the existence of a junior Lien on the applicable property or require that such Lien be subordinated, the Collateral Agent will release or subordinate the Lien, as applicable on such Collateral and
execute any document reasonably requested in writing by the Company to evidence such release or subordination; provided that immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such restriction, the relevant Grantor shall take
all necessary actions to secure the Collateral subject to such Lien in the same manner upon which it was secured prior to the imposition of such Lien. 

(b) The Transaction Liens on the Collateral shall not be released pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) unless and until all fees and other
amounts owing to the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement and the other Security Documents (other than any indemnification obligations for which no known claim or demand for payment, whether oral or written, has been made) shall have been paid in
full. 
  

 33 

 (c) Upon the release of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, in each case in accordance
with the provisions hereof, all right, title and interest of the Collateral Trustee in, to and under the Trust Estate in respect of the Collateral or portion thereof so released, and the Security Documents in respect of such Collateral, shall
terminate and shall revert to the respective Grantors, their successors and assigns, and the estate, right, title and interest of the Collateral Trustee therein shall thereupon cease, determine and become void; and in such case, upon the written
request of the respective Grantors, their successors or assigns, and at the cost and expense of the Grantors, their successors or assigns, the Collateral Trustee shall execute in respect of the Collateral so released, a satisfaction of the Security
Documents and such instruments as are necessary or desirable to terminate and remove of record any documents constituting public notice of the Security Documents and the security interests and assignments granted thereunder and shall assign and
transfer, or cause to be assigned and transferred, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Grantors, in respect of the Collateral so released, all property, including all moneys, instruments and Securities (if any), of the Grantors then
held by the Collateral Trustee. The cancellation and satisfaction of the Security Documents shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Collateral Trustee or any successor trustee to charge and be reimbursed for any expenditures that it may
thereafter incur in connection therewith. 
 SECTION 8. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. (a) No failure or
delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a
right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Term Loan Agent, the Senior Indenture Trustee, any Additional Authorized Representative and the Collateral Trustee, in each case, upon an affirmative vote of the Required Secured
Parties of the relevant Class to the extent required by the terms of the applicable Secured Debt Documents; provided that no such agreement shall by its terms amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any Grantor without
the Company’s prior written consent; provided, further that in connection with any Refinancing of Secured Obligations of any Class, or the incurrence of Additional Secured Obligations in compliance with Section 2(b), the Collateral
Trustee and the relevant Authorized Representative shall enter (and are hereby authorized to enter without the consent of any other Secured Party), at the request of the Collateral Trustee, such Authorized Representative or the Company, into such
amendments, supplements, modifications or restatements of this Agreement as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect and facilitate such Refinancing or such incurrence and are reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee and such
Authorized Representative and the Company. 
  

 34 

 (c) The Collateral Trustee shall not enter into any agreement or agreements that waive,
amend or otherwise modify (i) any Security Document (other than this Agreement) or any provision thereof or (ii) consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification of any ABL Document to the extent the Collateral Trustee’s consent
is required under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement without the written consent of the Authorized Representative of each Class of Secured Obligations (upon an affirmative vote of the Required Secured Parties of such Class, to the extent required by
the terms of the applicable Secured Debt Documents). 
 (d) Without the consent of any Secured Party, the Collateral Trustee and
the Grantors, at any time and from time to time, may enter into additional pledge or Security Documents or one or more agreements supplemental hereto or to any Security Document, in form satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee (it being understood
that any supplement in the form of Exhibits A and B shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee):

herein conferred upon the Grantors;

may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein or therein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or under any Security Document that shall not be inconsistent with any provision
hereof or of any Security Document; 
 (iv) to add an Additional Grantor; and 

(v) to add an Additional Authorized Representative.

Document, permitted by this Agreement or such Security Document, the Collateral Trustee shall receive and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an opinion of counsel or an Officer’s Certificate stating that the execution of
such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Agreement or such Security Document. The Collateral Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any amendment, supplement or waiver, which adversely affects the
Collateral Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement, such Security Document or otherwise.
