145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers, as well as employees and agents, against
expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, that are actually and reasonably incurred in connection with various
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, known
as a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had
no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only
extends to expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees) actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute
requires court approval before there can be any indemnification if the person
seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute
provides that it is not excluding other indemnification that may be granted by a
corporation&#8217;s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement
or otherwise.</font></div>

EXPLANATORY
NOTE
As
previously reported, on February 3, 2009, Spectrum Brands, Inc. (the "Company")
and its United States subsidiaries (together with the Company, collectively, the
"Debtors") filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Western District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking reorganization
relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. On July 15, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered a written order
(the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Debtors' Joint Plan of Reorganization,
as amended by the first modification and the second modification (the amended
plan as so confirmed, the "Plan").
On
August 28, 2009 (the "Effective Date"), the Plan became effective and the
Debtors emerged from reorganization proceedings under the United States
Bankruptcy Code.
On
the Effective Date, by operation of the Plan, the Company's old common stock and
other equity interests existing immediately prior to the Effective Date (the
"Old Equity") were cancelled and the Company issued new shares of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "New Common Stock"). Upon the Effective Date, by
operation of the Plan and in connection with the cancellation of the Old Equity,
any and all equity awards granted under, and understandings with respect to
participation in the Company's incentive equity plans in effect prior to the
Effective Date became null and void as of the Effective Date.
On
the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the 2009 Incentive Plan (the "2009
Incentive Plan") for all members of management (including the named executive
officers), employees, and directors of the reorganized Debtors and any of the
Company's other subsidiaries as are designated by the Company's board of
directors, or a committee designated by such board of directors, with respect to
the New Common Stock became effective.  Effective as of the Effective
Date, the Company's board of directors adopted a new management equity
program(the "Management Equity Program") under the 2009 Incentive Plan. Under
the Management Equity Program, grants will be made over a three-year period in
three tranches and will consist of a mix of stock options and restricted stock
units. The Management Equity Program adopted by the Company
'
s board of
directors on the Effective Date, contemplates grants of up to 7.5% of the
total number of shares of New Common Stock issued or reserved for issuance on
the Effective Date, equating to 2,500,000 shares, out of the total of 3,333,333
shares available to be granted under the 2009 Incentive Plan.
This
Registration Statement on Form S-8 registers the issuance of an aggregate of
3,333,333 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2009
Incentive Plan.

Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel.
The
legality of the shares of Common Stock being registered by this Registration
Statement has been passed upon by John T. Wilson, Esq., who is the Senior Vice
President, Secretary and General Counsel of the Registrant.  As an
employee of the Registrant, Mr. Wilson is eligible to participate in, and
will likely receive awards under, the 2009 Incentive Plan.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers, as well as employees and agents, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, that are actually and reasonably incurred in connection with various
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, known
as a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had
no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only
extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute
requires court approval before there can be any indemnification if the person
seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute
provides that it is not excluding other indemnification that may be granted by a
corporation's bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement
or otherwise.
The
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate of Incorporation")
contains an indemnification provision that provides that the Company will
indemnity and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or
is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person, or a
person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or
officer of us, or has or had agreed to become a director of us, or, while a
director or officer of us, is or was serving at our request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another entity or enterprise, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such person in
connection therewith.  The Certificate of Incorporation also provides
that the Company will pay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding
in advance of its final disposition, to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law and, to the extent required by applicable law, the Company receives an
undertaking to repay such amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that
such person is not entitled to be indemnified.  These rights are not
exclusive of any other right that any person may have or acquire under any
statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The
Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted
under the Delaware General Corporation Law, none of the Company's directors will
be
5
personally
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director.  This provision is known as an
exculpation provision.  This exculpation provision is limited by
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits the
elimination or limitation of the personal liability of a director:
·
for
      any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
      stockholders;
·
for
      acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
      misconduct or a knowing violation of
law;
·
for
      payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions
      under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law;
      or
·
for
      any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
      benefit.
The
Certificate of Incorporation provides that any repeal or amendment of the
indemnification or the exculpation provision by the stockholders of the Company
or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation inconsistent with this provision, will, unless otherwise
required by law, be prospective only (except, with respect to the
indemnification provision, such amendment or change permits the Company to
provide broader rights retroactively), and will not in any way diminish or
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing
at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent
provision in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or
amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
In
addition, the Company maintains liability insurance for its directors and
officers and for the directors and officers of its majority-owned subsidiaries.
This insurance provides for coverage, subject to certain exceptions, against
loss from claims made against directors and officers in their capacity as such,
including claims under the federal securities laws.

Exhibits.

Item
      9.
Undertakings.
a.           The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
6
(1)
To
      file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
      post-effective amendment to this Registration
  Statement:
(i)
To
      include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
      of 1933;
(ii)
To
      reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
      date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
      amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
      fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
      Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
      decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
      securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
      deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
      may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
      pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
      price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
      offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
      the effective Registration
Statement;
(iii)
To
      include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
      not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
      change to such information in the Registration
  Statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2)
That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
      1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
      registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
      offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
      bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To
      remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
      securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
      offering.
b.           The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to
Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference
in
7
this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
c.           Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
