Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

           On October 10, 2008, Spectrum Brands, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an agreement ("Tripartite Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States ("U.S. Bank") and the trustee under the indenture governing the Company's senior subordinated notes due 2015, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States ("Wells Fargo") and the trustee under the indenture governing the variable rate senior subordinated notes due 2013 (the "2007 Indenture"), pursuant to which U.S. Bank will replace Wells Fargo as trustee, paying agent, registrar and custodian under the 2007 Indenture.  In accordance with the terms of the Tripartite Agreement and the notice of resignation delivered to the Company by Wells Fargo pursuant to the terms of the 2007 Indenture, the resignation and appointment will be effective as of October 24, 2008.  The Company does not expect that the appointment of U.S. Bank as trustee will have any impact on the rights of holders of the variable rate senior subordinated notes or the Company's performance of its obligations under the 2007 Indenture.
