SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

GUARANTEE dated as of August 27, 2003, by Waterpik International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, a New York banking corporation, as administrative and collateral agent (“Agent”) for (i) the Lenders (the “Lenders”) named in Schedule 1.01 of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof, among Water Pik, Inc., Laars, Inc. and Water Pik Technologies Canada, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Toronto Branch, as Canadian Agent, the Canadian Lenders party thereto and the Lenders (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Credit Agreement), (ii) itself and any other Lender as issuer of the Letters of Credit and itself as issuer of the LC Guaranties and (iii) the Persons (other than the Borrowers or Guarantor) party to the Derivative Obligations permitted under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Other Obligations”) that are, or were at the time of their entering into such Derivative Obligations, Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders (the “Other Secured Parties”).

The Agent, the Canadian Lenders and the Lenders have agreed to extend Loans and certain other financial accommodations to, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties for the account of the Borrowers pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Credit Agreement.  In addition, the Other Secured Parties have entered, or may from time to time enter, into Derivative Obligations with the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries.  The obligation of the Lenders to extend such Loans and of the Agent and other Issuing Banks to issue the Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties under the Credit Agreement is conditioned on the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of a guarantee in the form hereof of the due and punctual payment and performance of (a) all obligations at any time and from time to time under the Other Obligations, (b) the principal of and interest on the Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (c) Indebtedness at any time and from time to time under the Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties and (d) all other obligations of the Borrowers at any time and from time to time under the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents (the foregoing collectively being herein referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to make Loans and extend other financial accommodations under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1.                                            Guarantee.   The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and the punctual performance, of all present and future Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 3.                                            Guarantee Absolute.

(a)                                  This Guarantee is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee are independent of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and any other Financing Document, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrowers or whether the Borrowers are joined in any such action or actions.

(b)                                 The liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(i)                                     any invalidity, irregularity, voidability, voidness or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any other Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor;

(ii)                                  any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, renewal or alteration of, any Guaranteed Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Credit Agreement or the Notes or any other Financing Document or Other Obligation, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(iii)                               any sale, exchange, release, surrender, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and/or any offset against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such

2

Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv)                              any exercise or failure to exercise any rights against the Borrowers or others (including the Guarantor);

(vi)                              any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries;

(vii)                           any change, restructuring or termination of the existence of any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries; or

(viii)                        any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, this Guarantee and/or obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, or a defense to, or discharge of, any of the Borrowers or any other Person or party relating to this Guarantee or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Loans, Letters of Credit, LC Guaranties or Other Obligations extended to the Borrowers, in each case other than the indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c)                                  The Agent may at any time and from time to time (whether or not after revocation or termination of this Guarantee) without the consent of, or notice (except as shall be required by applicable law that cannot be waived) to, the Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to the Guarantor or impairing or releasing the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Guaranteed Obligation regardless of what Guaranteed Obligations remain unpaid.

(d)                                 This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon the Agent, any Lender or any Other Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent, such Lender or such Other Secured Party in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Agent, such Lender or such Other Secured Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Agent, such Lender or such

3

Other Secured Party or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent, such Lender or such Other Secured Party with any such claimant (including the Borrowers), the Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent, such Lender and/or such Other Secured Party hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent, such Lender or such Other Secured Party.
