Nortek’s 10% Notes and 8.5% Notes are guaranteed by each of Nortek’s current and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee Nortek’s obligations under its senior secured credit facilities (the “Guarantors”). The Guarantors are wholly-owned either directly or indirectly by Nortek and jointly and severally guarantee Nortek’s obligations under the 10% Notes and 8.5% Notes. None of Nortek’s foreign subsidiaries guarantee the 10% Notes and 8.5% Notes.
