Exhibit A

Assigned Assets

The Seller owns the rights to receive certain cash distributions from the sale of certain Business Products as defined in that certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and between Sunbeam Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (dba Jarden Consumers Solutions), Desmond Oregon, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, and the selling shareholders (the “Sunbeam Agreement”).

Under the Sunbeam Agreement, the Sellers Representative (as defined in the Sunbeam Agreement) will distribute certain amounts arising from sales of the Business Products.  The funds to be distributed to the sellers by the Sellers Representative are calculated using the following formulas:

 
Profit Sharing A – The Profit Sharing A pays 20% of EBITDA for the 3 subsequent years following the Product Launch Date (1/01/11), paid at end of each EBITDA year.  The Profit Sharing is net of any investments, or negative EBITDA, made following the Closing date. No cap.
 
Profit Sharing B – Profit Sharing B pays 20% of EBITDA for the 2 subsequent years following Year 3 (Year 4 and 5) paid at end of each EBITDA year.  The Profit Sharing B payments shall NOT be offset against any negative Business EBITDA from any prior periods.
 
Earn Out A – An amount six times the average Business EBITDA Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3 less the aggregate amount of the Profit Sharing A Payments, due at the end of Year 3.  The Earn Out is net of any negative EBITDA associated with Year 3.  A cap of $42.5M exists with this payout.
 
Earn Out B – A flat amount of $25.0M is paid if the cumulative EBITDA is greater than or equal to $250.0M for Years 1 through 5. The Earn Out B Payment shall not be offset against any negative Business EBITDA from any prior periods. 

Of the total sums determined using the above formulas, the Assigned Assets consist of the following:

 
o
98.18% (Preferred B distribution) of the first $6,021,921 distributed by the Sellers Representative (as defined in the Sunbeam Agreement).
 
o
0% (Preferred A distribution) of the next $1,522,000 distributed by the Sellers Representative.
 
o
60.07% (Common distribution) of all funds thereafter distributed by the Sellers Representative.
