RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of October 2, 2023 (this “Agreement”), is by and among

(1)	Each of the entities identified on Exhibit II hereto (each, together with any Subsidiary of Newell becoming a party hereto by executing a Joinder Agreement (as hereinafter defined), herein referred to collectively as the “Originators” and each individually an “Originator”); and

(2)	Jarden Receivables, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).

Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I hereto, the meanings assigned to such terms in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2023 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, as Seller, Newell Brands Inc. (“Newell”), as Servicer, the Persons from time to time party thereto as Purchasers and as Group Agents and Royal Bank of Canada, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

WHEREAS, each of the Originators now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. Each of the Originators wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

WHEREAS, each of the Originators and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales or absolute assignments of the Receivables from such Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and neither the Originators nor Buyer intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, pledges to secure loans from Buyer to any Originator.

WHEREAS, Buyer plans to finance its acquisitions of Receivables hereunder by selling and/or pledging such Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF PURCHASES

SECTION 1.1 [Reserved].

SECTION 1.2 Purchases of Receivables. Effective on the date hereof, in consideration for the Purchase Price, in the case of purchases hereunder, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Originator, severally and for itself, does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase, as applicable, from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables of such Originator existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof (including all Receivables of such Originator reconveyed to such Originator on the date hereof pursuant to the Termination Agreement) and all Receivables of such Originator thereafter arising (or with respect to any Originator (if any) that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, all Receivables of such Originator existing from and after the Applicable Cutoff Date) through and including the Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof.

In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the date hereof (or with respect to any Originator (if any) that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the date such Originator becomes a party hereto), each Originator shall sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall acquire all of each Originators’ right, title and interest in and to all Receivables of such Originator existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof (including all Receivables of such Originator reconveyed to such Originator on the date hereof pursuant to the Termination Agreement) (or with respect to any Originator (if any) that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, all Receivables of such Originator existing as of the Applicable Cutoff Date) together with all Related Security and Collections related thereto. On each Business Day after the date hereof (or with respect to any Originator (if any) that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the date such Originator becomes a party hereto), each Originator shall sell, and Buyer shall acquire all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables of such Originator originated on the date hereof (or with respect to any Originator (if any) that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, all Receivables of such Originator arising on the date such Originator becomes a party hereto) and thereafter originated through and including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased from each Originator hereunder in accordance with Section 1.4.

SECTION 1.3 Purchases. (a) In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that the applicable Originator deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale or absolute assignment, which conveyance is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed by any Originator pursuant to Section 1.5, each sale of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to any Originator; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) no such sale shall constitute or is intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of any Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of any Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto

-2-

that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale or absolute assignment of such Receivables rather than pledges to secure loans, each of the Originators agrees that on or prior to the date on which it became or hereafter becomes a party to this Agreement and in accordance with Section 4.1(e), it will mark its master data processing records relating to the Receivables originated by such Originator with an indication acceptable to Buyer and to the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) evidencing that Buyer has acquired such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), each Originator will execute (if required) and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

SECTION 1.4 Payment for the Purchases. (a) The Receivables of each Originator in existence on the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date hereof (including all Receivables of such Originator reconveyed to such Originator on the date hereof pursuant to the Termination Agreement) (the “Initial Cutoff Date”) are hereby sold and assigned to Buyer by such Originator on the date hereof. Each Receivable of each Originator coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date, shall be sold to Buyer on the Business Day occurring immediately after the day such Receivable is originated, and the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to such Originator or its designee on such Business Day (provided, that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c), and (d).

(b) With respect to any Receivables sold by any Originator hereunder after the date hereof, on the first Business Day after such Receivable is originated, such Receivable shall be sold to Buyer, and on such date of Purchase, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to such Originator in accordance with Section 1.4(d) and in any combination of the following:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand; and

(ii) by delivery of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, in an amount not to exceed the least of (A) the portion of such Purchase Price not paid pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 1.4(b), (B) the Maximum Subordinated Loan Balance and (C) the maximum Subordinated Loans that could be borrowed without there occurring a Subordinated Borrowing Base Deficiency.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.4(b)(ii), each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not

-3-

required under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Purchasers. Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto; provided, that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder. Each Originator acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Subordinated Note and so long as it is a holder of such Subordinated Note, agrees to be bound by, and to comply with, all the terms of the Subordinated Note, including, without limitation, the subordination provisions therein.

(c) From and after the Termination Date, no Originator shall be obligated to (but each Originator may, at its option) sell Receivables to Buyer unless such Originator reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans, other cash on hand or otherwise.

(d) Although the Purchase Price for each Purchased Receivable shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to such Originator on the date specified in Section 1.4(a), settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and each Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on each Settlement Date with respect to all Receivables sold by such Originator during the Monthly Period immediately preceding such Settlement Date and based on the information contained in the Information Package delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02(a) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement for the Monthly Period then most recently ended.

(e) At all times prior to the Termination Date, notwithstanding any delay in the making of any payment of the Purchase Price in respect of any Purchase, all right, title and interest of each Originator in and to each Receivable originated by it shall be sold, assigned and otherwise transferred to Buyer effective immediately and automatically upon the creation of such Receivable, without any further action of any type or kind being required on the part of any Person. The monthly settlement contemplated in this Section 1.4 has been devised solely for the administrative convenience of the parties hereto. Buyer and each Originator may at any time, as may be agreed between themselves, elect to effect settlement on a more (but not less) frequent basis.

SECTION 1.5 Deemed Collections; Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If, on any day, (a) the Outstanding Balance of a Purchased Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of (i) any Dilution Factor or (ii) a contractually obligated credit associated with volume rebates or co-op advertising customer programs accruals; or (b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are not true with respect to any Receivable on the date of its Purchase hereunder, then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) towards the Purchase Price otherwise payable to such Originator hereunder in an amount equal to the amount of such reduction or cancellation in the case of clause (a) or the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in the case of clause (b). If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold by any Originator on or prior to such day, then such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash within five (5) Business Days thereafter; provided, that so long as (x) no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any Indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note.

-4-

SECTION 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the applicable Originator designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee until paid in full; provided, however, that such fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of fees payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

SECTION 1.7 License of Software; Records. (a) In connection with the Purchases of Receivables hereunder, each Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of such Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Receivables sold by it hereunder, without the need for further documentation in connection with the Purchases. To the extent that any software used by any Originator to account for the Receivables originated by it is non-transferable, such Originator hereby grants to Buyer, the Administrative Agent and Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all such software used by such Originator to account for such Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, the applicable Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or its assigns), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the later to occur of (i) indefeasible payment in full of the Seller Obligations, and (ii) the date on which each of this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

(b) Each Originator (i) shall take such action reasonably requested by Buyer and/or the Administrative Agent (as the ultimate assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement has an enforceable ownership interest in the records included in the Records relating to the Receivables acquired from such Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Administrative Agent and Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for such Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

SECTION 1.8 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.3(b), any sale by any Originator of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not as a sale, or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law, and each of the Originators and Buyer represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by any Originator to Buyer under this Agreement is (i)

-5-

in payment of a debt incurred by the applicable Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and Buyer and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Originator and Buyer. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each transfer of Receivables by an Originator hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, each Originator hereby grants to Buyer a valid and continuing security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under all Receivables of such Originator which are now existing or hereafter arising (including, without limitation, all Receivables of such Originator that arise after the Termination Date) and are intended to be sold by such Originator to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and Collection Account and, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing, and all other assets in which Buyer has acquired, may hereafter acquire and/or purports pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement to have acquired an interest under this Agreement to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables purchased from such Originator together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder (including (a) the obligation to remit all Collections with respect to such Receivables to Buyer and (b) the obligation to transfer such Receivables to Buyer with a value at least equal to the Receivables, Collections thereon and the Related Security with respect thereto), which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Each Originator hereby authorizes Buyer (and any of its assigns), within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as secured party, to file the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby.

All written information, exhibits and reports (other than projections) furnished by such Originator or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, taken as a whole, is and will be true and accurate in all material respects on the date such information is furnished or certified (unless such information, exhibit or report refers to an earlier date, in which case such information, exhibit or report shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and when taken as a whole does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, taken as a whole with all other written information provided by such Originator or any of its Affiliates, not misleading as of such date.

(h) Use of Proceeds. Such Originator is not engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meanings of Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

(iv) All appropriate financing statements, financing statement amendments and continuation statements have been filed in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect (and continue the perfection of) the sale of the Receivables and Related Security (solely to the extent perfection may be achieved by filing a financing statement under the UCC) from each Originator to Buyer.

-8-

(v) Other than the security interest granted to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, such Originator has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables except as permitted by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

The Originator is not aware of any material judgment lien, ERISA lien or lien for unpaid taxes against the Originator.

(j) Jurisdiction of Organization; Places of Business, and Locations of Records. The jurisdiction of organization of such Originator is listed on Exhibit II under the name of such Originator. The principal places of business and chief executive office of such Originator and the offices where it keeps all of its records are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit II under the name of such Originator or such other locations of which Buyer has been notified in accordance with Section 4.1(n) or in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 4.1(n) and Section 8.3(a) has been taken and completed and such Originator’s Federal Employer Identification Number and State Organizational Identification Number (if any) are correctly set forth on Exhibit II.

Such Originator has not changed its jurisdiction of organization. Such Originator is a “registered organization” (within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in all applicable jurisdictions).

-9-

(n) Compliance with Applicable Law. Such Originator has complied in all respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of its businesses or the ownership of its property, except for any failure to comply with any of the foregoing that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable of such Originator, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene in any respect any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices or privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation in any respect of any such law, rule or regulation, except for any such contravention or violation that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(o) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator has complied in all material respects with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable of such Originator and the related Contract and has not made any change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except as permitted under Section 8.01(s) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(p) Payments to Originators. With respect to each Receivable transferred by such Originator to Buyer hereunder, Buyer has given reasonably equivalent value to the related Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by such Originator of any Receivable hereunder is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.

(q) Enforceability of Contracts. As of the Purchase Date of each Receivable originated by such Originator, each Contract with respect to such Receivable of such Originator is, on such date, effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(r) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable on any date is an Eligible Receivable on such date.

(s) Sanctions and other Anti-Terrorism Laws. (a) None of such Originator, any Subsidiary of such Originator or, to the knowledge of such Originator or such Subsidiary of such Originator, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or Affiliates, or any agent of such Originator or any Subsidiary of such Originator that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the Transaction Documents, (A) is a Sanctioned Person or currently the subject or target of any Sanctions, (B) directly, or indirectly through any third party, engages in any transactions or other dealings with any Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country that are prohibited by any Laws of the United States or Laws of other applicable jurisdictions relating to economic sanctions and other Anti-Terrorism Laws; and (b) no Receivables are Embargoed Property.

-10-

(i) the representations and warranties of such Originator set forth in Article II are true and correct in all material respects (except that the materiality standard in this clause (i) shall not apply to any such representation or warranty that is qualified by a materiality standard by its terms) on and as of the date such Receivable came into existence as though made on and as of such date unless such representations and warranties by their terms refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct on and as of such earlier date; and

(i) The Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Reliance. Such Originator acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Originators and any Affiliates thereof (other than for applicable tax purposes).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, such Originator will not hold itself out to third parties as liable for the debts of Buyer nor purport to own the Pool Receivables and other assets acquired by Buyer.

Such Originator will pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables of such Originator, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of Buyer or its assigns; provided however that, for avoidance of doubt, such Originator shall not be responsible for any such taxes payable by an assign of Buyer that are Excluded Taxes.

(l) Insurance. Such Originator will maintain with responsible insurance companies or through Newell’s program of self-insurance, insurance against at least such risks and in at least such amounts as is customarily maintained by similar businesses, or as may be required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, any governmental approval, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority.

-16-

(p) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Except in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, such Originator will not make any change to any Credit and Collection Policy that could materially and adversely affect the collectability of the Pool Receivables or decrease in any material respect the credit quality of any newly created Pool Receivables.

(r) Collections. Such Originator will not deposit or otherwise credit, or cause or permit to be so deposited or credited, to any Collection Account cash or cash proceeds other than Collections, except as set forth in Section 8.01(x) or Section 8.02(p) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Except as provided in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, such Originator will not deposit or otherwise credit, or cause or permit to be so deposited or credited, any Collections or proceeds thereof to any Lock-Box or to any other account from and after the Post-Closing Date not covered by an Account Control Agreement.

(b) If any Originator fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 8.3:

(i) Buyer (or its assigns) may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and Buyer’s (or such assigns’) costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Originators, jointly and severally, as provided in Section 6.1;

(ii) each Originator irrevocably authorizes Buyer (and its assigns) at any time and from time to time in the sole and absolute discretion of Buyer (or its assigns), and appoints Buyer (and its assigns) as its attorney(ies)-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Originator (A) to authorize and execute on behalf of such Originator as debtor and to file financing or continuation statements (and amendments thereto and assignments thereof) necessary or desirable in Buyer’s (or its assigns’) sole or absolute discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of Buyer in the Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections and (B) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as Buyer (or its assigns) in their sole discretion deem necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of Buyer’s interests in such Receivables.

The appointment under the foregoing clause (ii) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION, THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE INTERESTS OF BUYER IN THE RECEIVABLES IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

SECTION 8.6 Consent to Jurisdiction. (a) (a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

SECTION 8.8 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms. (a) This Agreement, the Subordinated Notes and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

-25-

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Originator, Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). No Originator may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Buyer and the Administrative Agent. Buyer may assign at any time its rights and obligations hereunder and interests herein to any other Person without the consent of any Originator. Without limiting the foregoing, each Originator acknowledges that Buyer, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, may assign to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder and that the Administrative Agent may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Each Originator agrees that the Administrative Agent, as the assignee of Buyer, shall, subject to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any consents or approvals of Buyer to be given or withheld hereunder) and each Originator agrees to cooperate fully with the Administrative Agent in the exercise of such rights and remedies. Each Originator further agrees to give to the Administrative Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to Buyer hereunder. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Originator pursuant to Article II; (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VI; and (iii) Section 8.4 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.9 Counterparts; Severability; Section References. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by electronic means shall be equally effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Notwithstanding anything

-26-

contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and any of the Transaction Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (B) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Transaction Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be in effective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

SECTION 8.10 Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Purchaser, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent, no claim may be made by any Originator or any other Person against any Purchaser, the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Originator hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Exhibit IV

FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE

[Date]

1. Note. For value received, the undersigned, Jarden Receivables, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SPV”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of [Name of Applicable Originator], a [________________] (“Originator”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the date that falls one year and one day following the later of the Termination Date and the Final Payout Date (the “Final Maturity Date”), the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all “Subordinated Loans” made from time to time by Originator to SPV pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2023 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”), among Originator, the other originators from time to time party thereto and SPV. Reference to Section 1.4 of the Sale Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

2. Interest. SPV further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the Base Rate; provided, however, that if SPV shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, SPV promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate of the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears; provided, however, that SPV may elect on the date any interest payment is due hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note.

3. Principal Payments. Originator is authorized and directed by SPV to enter on the grid attached hereto, or, at its option, in its books and records, the date and amount of each loan made by it which is evidenced by this Subordinated Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by SPV, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of Originator to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of SPV hereunder. The SPV shall not be obligated to make any principal payment on this Subordinated Note until the Final Maturity Date, provided, however, that the SPV may voluntarily prepay principal without premium or penalty at any time in its sole discretion.

4. Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Note is unsecured and is subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of SPV’s obligations under that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2023 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), by and among SPV, as Seller, Newell Brands Inc., as Servicer, the Persons from time to time party

IV-1

thereto as Purchasers and as Group Agents and Royal Bank of Canada, as Administrative Agent, in the manner set forth hereinafter. The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and/or any of their respective assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Until the date on which all Seller Obligations (the “Senior Claim”) have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, Originator shall not demand, accelerate, sue for, take, receive or accept from SPV, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral) any payment or security of all or any of the indebtedness under this Subordinated Note or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same; provided, however, that (i) Originator hereby agrees that it will not institute against SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States unless and until the Final Maturity Date has occurred and (ii) nothing in this paragraph shall restrict Originator from requesting, or SPV from paying (which payment shall be in SPV’s sole discretion prior to the Final Maturity Date), any payments under this Subordinated Note so long as SPV is not required under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the funds used for such payments to any of the Senior Claimants and further provided that the making of such payment would not otherwise violate the terms and provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by Originator in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Senior Claimants.

5. Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Bankruptcy involving SPV as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of the Senior Claim before Originator is entitled to receive payment on account of this Subordinated Note, and to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of SPV of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Administrative Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.

6. Amendments. The terms of this Subordinated Note may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Originator, SPV and Administrative Agent.

7. Governing Law. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF. Wherever possible each provision of this Subordinated Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Subordinated Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Subordinated Note.

IV-2

8. Waivers. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor. Originator additionally expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by any Senior Claimant of the subordination and other provisions of this Subordinated Note and expressly waives reliance by any Senior Claimant upon the subordination and other provisions herein provided.
