 CUSIP NO. 482732 AA 2 
  
 K2 Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the
principal sum of Seventy-Five Million United States Dollars (U.S. $75,000,000 ) by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture) on June 15, 2010 and to pay interest thereon, from June 10,
2003, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 in each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing
June 15, 2003, at the rate of 5.00% per annum, until the principal hereof is due. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name
this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding
such Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the
Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to
Holders of Securities not less than 10 days prior to the Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any automated quotation system or securities exchange on which the Securities
may be quoted or listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payments of principal shall be made upon the surrender of this Security at the option of the Holder at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such lawful monies of the United States of America as at the time of
payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, by United States Dollar check drawn on, or wire transfer to, a United States Dollar account (such a wire
transfer to be made only to a Holder of an aggregate principal amount of Securities in excess of U.S. $2,000,000 and only if such Holder shall have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant
payment date). Payment of interest on this Security may be made by United States Dollar check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or, upon written application by the Holder to
the Security Registrar setting forth wire instructions not later than the relevant Record Date, by transfer to a United States Dollar account 







 
(such a wire transfer to be made only to a Holder of an aggregate principal amount of Securities in excess of U.S. $2,000,000 and only if such Holder shall
have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date). 
  
 Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. 
  
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have
the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
  
 Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof or an Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of their respective authorized signatories, this Security shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Security to be duly executed.

 Form of Reverse 
  
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its “5.00% Convertible
Senior Notes due June 15, 2010” (herein called the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $75,000,000, issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 10, 2003 (herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are
to be, authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of any authorized denominations as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Security or Securities to be exchanged, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Trustee upon such surrender by the Holder will issue the new Securities in the requested denominations.

  
 No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. 
  
 The Securities are subject to redemption at the option of the Company at any
time on or after June 15, 2008, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders prior to the Redemption Date at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) as set forth below
for Securities redeemed during the following periods described below: 
  

	 PERIOD

	 	 REDEMPTION PRICE


	 Beginning on June 15, 2008
 through June 14, 2009
	 	101.429%
		
	 Beginning on June 15, 2009
 through June 14, 2010
	 	100.714%

  
 and thereafter at a Redemption Price
equal to 100% of the principal amount, together, in each case, with accrued interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that interest installments on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date
will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 In the event of a redemption of the Securities, the Company will not be
required (a) to register the transfer or exchange of Securities for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities called 







 
for such redemption or (b) to register the transfer or exchange of any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption. 
  
 In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, interest, or Liquidated Damages on any Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert his Security shall be, at any Place of Payment or Place of Conversion as the case may be, a day on which banking
institutions at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, then payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, or Liquidated Damages, or delivery for conversion of such Security
need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding day at such place which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, with the same force and
effect as if made on the date for such payment or the date fixed for redemption or repurchase, or by such last day for conversion, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date. 
  
 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Security is entitled, at his option, at any time on or before the close of business on the date of Maturity, or in case this Security or a portion hereof is called for redemption or the Holder hereof has exercised his right to require
the Company to repurchase this Security or such portion hereof, then in respect of this Security until the Business Day immediately preceding, but (unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption or repurchase, as the case may
be) not after, the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, to convert this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is an integral multiple of
U.S.$1,000, provided that the unconverted portion of such principal amount is U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company at an initial Conversion Rate
of 76.0861 shares of Common Stock for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities (or at the current adjusted Conversion Rate if an adjustment has been made as provided in the Indenture) by surrender of this Security, duly endorsed or assigned to
the Company or in blank and, in case such surrender shall be made during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date (except if
this Security or portion thereof has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date or is repurchasable on a Repurchase Date occurring, in either case, during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any
Interest Payment Date to the close of business on the second Business Day following such Interest Payment Date and, for which the right to convert could terminate during such period, also accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House or other
funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security then being converted, and also the conversion notice hereon duly executed, to the Company at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of the Company, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto and subject to the right of the Company to terminate the appointment of any Conversion Agent (as defined
below) as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the 







 
Company may designate (each a “Conversion Agent”), provided, further, that if this Security or portion hereof has been called for redemption on a
Redemption Date or is repurchasable on a Repurchase Date occurring, in either case, during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the close of business on the second Business Day
following such Interest Payment Date, and as a result, the right to convert this Security would otherwise terminate in such period if not exercised and this Security is surrendered for conversion during such period, then the Holder of this Security
on such Regular Record Date will be entitled to receive the interest accruing hereon from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of such conversion to such succeeding Interest Payment Date and the Holder of this Security who converts this
Security or a portion hereof during such period shall not be required to pay such interest upon surrender of this Security for conversion. Subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence and, in the case of a conversion after the close of
business on the Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date and on or before the close of business on the third Business Day following such Interest Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of this Security (or any Predecessor
Security of record as of such Regular Record Date) to receive the related installment of interest to the extent and under the circumstances provided in the Indenture, no cash payment or adjustment is to be made on conversion for interest accrued
hereon from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the day of conversion, or for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion hereof. The Company shall thereafter deliver to the Holder the fixed number of shares of Common Stock (together
with any cash adjustment, as provided in the Indenture) into which this Security is convertible and such delivery will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of this Security. No fractions of shares or scrip
representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. The Conversion Rate is subject
to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party (other than a consolidation or merger that does not result in any reclassification,
conversion, exchange or cancellation of the Common Stock) or the conveyance, transfer, sale or lease (other than a mere grant of security interest) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be
amended, without the consent of any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then Outstanding, will be convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified above, only into the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Security could have been converted immediately
prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease (assuming such holder of Common Stock is not a Constituent Person or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the
kind and amount received per share by a plurality of Non-electing Shares). No adjustment in the Conversion Rate will be made until such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such rate, provided that any
adjustment that would otherwise be made will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation of any subsequent adjustment. 







 If this Security is a Registrable Security (as defined in the Indenture), then the Holder of this
Security and the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion hereof is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2003 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) between the Company and the
Initial Purchasers. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities that it will, at its expense, (a) within 90 days after the Issue Date file a
shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) with the Commission with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities, (b) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the Commission within 180 days after the Issue Date of the Securities, provided, however, that the Company may, upon written notice to all the Holders, postpone having the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective for a reasonable
period not to exceed 90 days if the Board of Directors has determined in good faith that because of valid business reasons (not including avoidance of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement), including the acquisition or divestiture
of assets, pending corporate developments and similar events, it is in the Company’s best interests to postpone having the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective, and (c) use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such Shelf
Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (i) two years after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) the expiration of the period referred to in Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act with
respect to Registrable Securities held by non-affiliates of the Company and (iii) until there are no outstanding Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company will be permitted to suspend the use of the prospectus which
is part of the Shelf Registration Statement during certain periods of time as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. 
  
 If (i) on or prior to the 90th day following the Issue Date, a Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission, or (ii) on or prior to
the 180th day following the Issue Date, such Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective (each, a “Registration Default”), additional liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”) will accrue on this Restricted Security
from and including the day following such Registration Default to but excluding the day on which such Registration Default has been cured. Liquidated Damages will be paid semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first
Interest Payment Date, as applicable, in respect of the Restricted Securities following the date on which such Liquidated Damages begin to accrue, and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal
amount of the Restricted Securities to and including the 90th day following such Registration Default and at a rate per annum equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) thereof from and after the 91st day following such Registration Default. Pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, in the event that the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective (or the Holders of Registrable Securities are otherwise prevented or restricted by the Company from effecting sales pursuant thereto) (an
“Effective Failure”) during the Effectiveness Period for more than 30 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 90-day period or for more than 90 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 365-day period, then the Liquidated Damages
will accrue at a rate per annum equal to an additional one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount of the Restricted Securities from the 31st day of the applicable 90-day period or 







 
the 91st day of the applicable 365-day period until the earlier of (A) such time as the Effective Failure is cured or (B) the Effectiveness Period expires.

  
 Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any
context, to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or in respect of, any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Liquidated Damages payable as described in the preceding paragraph to the
extent that, in such context, Liquidated Damages are, were or would be payable in respect of such Security and express mention of the payment of Liquidated Damages (if applicable) in any provisions of this Security shall not be construed as
excluding Liquidated Damages in those provisions of this Security where such express mention is not made. 
  
 If this Security is a Registrable Security and the Holder of this Security (including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this security) elects
to sell this Security pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement then, by its acceptance hereof, such Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Registrable Securities which are the
subject of such election. 
  
 If a Change in Control occurs, the
Holder of this Security, at the Holder’s option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is at least $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the portion of the principal amount of this Security to be Outstanding after such repurchase is at least equal to U.S.$1,000) at a Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus interest accrued but unpaid to but excluding the Repurchase Date. At the option of the Company, the Repurchase Price may be paid in cash or, subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, by delivery of shares of Common
Stock valued at 95% of the average of the Closing Prices Per Share for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date. 
  
 Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the
principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and
express mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this Security shall not be construed as excluding the Repurchase Price so payable in those provisions of this Security when such express mention is not made. 
  
 In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Security,
including an exchange, transfer, redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures. 
  
 If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, the principal of all the Securities, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment of the amount of principal so
declared due and payable, together with accrued interest to 







 
the date of declaration, all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities shall terminate.

  
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with either (a) the written consent of
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented and entitled to vote at such meeting. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver
is made upon this Security or such other Security. 
  
 As provided
in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder,
unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for
the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof, premiums if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein or for the enforcement of the right to convert this Security as
provided in the Indenture. 
  
 No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any)
on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register
upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York
(which shall initially be an office or 







 
agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Registrar. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 Prior to due presentation of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered, as the owner thereof for all
purposes, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 No recourse for the payment of the principal (and premium, if any) or interest on this Security and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or
director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. 
  
 THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAWS AND RULE 327(B) , WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PROVISIONS THEREOF RELATING TO
CONFLICT OF LAW.
