1.      GENERAL INFORMATION

               (a)    The applicant is a corporation.

               (b)    The applicant was organized under the laws of the
                      State of Delaware.

2.      SECURITIES ACT EXEMPTION APPLICABLE

        Pursuant to the Offering Circular, dated July 11, 2000 (the
"Offering Circular"), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit T3E(1) hereto,
and the related Letter of Transmittal, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
T3E(2) hereto (which, together with the Offering Circular, constitutes the
"Exchange Offer"), Sunbeam Corporation ("Sunbeam" or the "Applicant" ) has
proposed to issue up to $348,422,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity
of 11% Senior Secured Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Secured Notes"), to
be issued by Sunbeam under the indenture to be qualified hereby, and up to
an aggregate of 34,238,000 newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Sunbeam ("Sunbeam
Common Stock") in exchange for the entire aggregate principal amount at
maturity ($2,014,000,000) of Sunbeam's outstanding Zero Coupon Convertible
Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2018 (the "Zero Debentures"). Subject to
the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, Sunbeam will issue $173.00
principal amount at maturity of Secured Notes ($149.06 principal amount at
issuance) and 17 shares of Sunbeam Common Stock for each $1,000 principal
amount at maturity of Zero Debentures that are properly tendered and not
withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

        As the Secured Notes are proposed to be offered for exchange by
Sunbeam with its existing securityholders exclusively and solely for
outstanding securities of Sunbeam, the transaction is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a)(9) thereof. Other than
certain shares of Sunbeam Common Stock issuable to the lenders under
Sunbeam's senior credit agreement, as described in the section of the
Offering Circular captioned "The Exchange Offer - Agreements Relating to
Sunbeam Securities - Senior Credit Agreement Amendment," there have not
been, and there will not be, any sales of the Secured Notes or Sunbeam
Common Stock made by Sunbeam (other than sales pursuant to the Exchange
Offer) or by or through an underwriter at or about the same time as the
Exchange Offer. No consideration has been, or will be given, directly or
indirectly, to any broker, dealer, salesman, or other person for soliciting
exchanges of the Zero Debentures. Sunbeam has appointed American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company (the "Exchange Agent") as the Exchange Agent in
connection with the Exchange Offer and MacKenzie Partners, Inc. (the
"Information Agent") as the Information Agent in connection with the
Exchange Offer. Sunbeam has agreed to reimburse the Exchange Agent and the
Information Agent for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection
therewith and to indemnify the Exchange Agent and the Information Agent
against any losses or claims incurred without negligence or bad faith on
the part of the Exchange Agent or the Information Agent, respectively, in
connection with their respective duties relating to the Exchange Offer. In
addition, Sunbeam will pay remuneration to its financial, legal, and
accounting advisors for the provision of advisory, legal and accounting
services, respectively. No holder of the outstanding Zero Debentures has
made or will be requested to make any cash payment to Sunbeam in connection
with the Exchange Offer.

        which entitles the holder thereof to purchase up to 23 million
        shares of Sunbeam Common Stock at a cash exercise price of $7 per
        share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. This warrant expires
        on August 24, 2003. On January 6, 2000, Sunbeam issued to the
        former public stockholders of The Coleman Company, Inc., now a
        wholly owned subsidiary of Sunbeam, 4.98 million additional
        warrants, each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one
        share of Sunbeam Common Stock at a cash exercise price of $7 per
        share. These warrants also expire on August 24, 2003.

(2)     Under some circumstances, Sunbeam may be obligated to issue to the
        lenders under its senior credit agreement up to 4.5 million shares
        of Sunbeam Common Stock or, under some circumstances, up to 4.5
        million shares of Sunbeam preferred stock to be designated "Series
        A Participating Preferred Stock," as described in the Offering
        Circular attached hereto as Exhibit T3E(1) under the captions "The

        (b) Each share of Sunbeam Common Stock entitles its holder to one
vote on all matters upon which Sunbeam stockholders are entitled or
permitted to vote, including the election of directors. There are no
cumulative voting rights. The Sunbeam Common Stock has no preemptive rights
or conversion rights nor are there any redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the Common Stock. There currently are no shares of
Sunbeam Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") outstanding. Sunbeam's Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Sunbeam board
of directors may authorize the issuance of one or more series of preferred
stock having such rights, including voting, conversion and redemption
rights, and such preferences, including dividend and liquidation
preferences, as the Sunbeam board may determine without any further action
by the stockholders of Sunbeam. As described above, under some
circumstances, Sunbeam may be obligated to issue to the lenders under its
senior credit agreement up to 4.5 million shares of Series A Participating
Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). If and when issued, each
share of the Series A Preferred Stock will entitle its holder to one vote
on all matters upon which Sunbeam stockholders are entitled or permitted to
vote, including the election of directors. Unless otherwise required by
applicable law, the Series A Preferred Stock will vote together as a single
class with the Sunbeam Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of
the stockholders of Sunbeam.
