         Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

              (1) INTEREST. Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
         "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
         Note at 9 3/4% per annum from ___________, 2003 until maturity and
         shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 4
         of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company
         will pay interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in
         arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, or if any such day is not
         a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an "Interest
         Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent
         date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
         from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing
         Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated
         between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next
         succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next
         succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first
         Interest Payment Date shall be the first of May 1 or November 1 to
         occur after the date of issuance, unless such May 1 or November 1
         occurs within one calendar month of such date of issuance, in which
         case the first Interest Payment Date shall be the second of May


<PAGE>


         1 or November 1 to occur after the date of issuance. The Company will
         pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under
         any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time
         to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate
         then in effect; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest
         in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
         interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, (without regard to any
         applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate
         to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
         360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

              (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes
         (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
         Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on
         the April 15 or October 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date,
         even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before
         such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the
         Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable
         as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest
         at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
         within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of
         the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be
         made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
         register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of
         immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal
         of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global
         Notes and any other Notes if any Holder of $1.0 million or more in
         aggregate principal amount of such Notes has provided wire transfer
         instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent for that purpose. Such
         payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of
         America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
         and private debts.

              (3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York,
         the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
         Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
         notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in
         any such capacity.

              (4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture
         dated as of April 24, 2002 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the
         Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated
         in the Indenture, except Section 3.08 thereof, and those made part of
         the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
         amended (15 U.S. Code ss.ss. 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to
         all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act
         for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
         conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions
         of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are
         obligations of the Company [unlimited] in aggregate principal amount.

              (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the
Company will not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to May 1, 2007.
Thereafter, the Company will have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in
part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption
prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning
on May 1 of the years indicated below:

<PAGE>


        Year                                                       Percentage
        ----                                                       ----------
        2007...............................................        104.875%
        2008...............................................        103.250%
        2009...............................................        101.625%
        2010 and thereafter................................        100.000%

         (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph 5, at any time prior to May 1, 2005, the Company may redeem Notes with
the net proceeds of a public equity offering at a redemption price equal to
109.750% of the aggregate principal amount thereof; provided that at least 65%
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture remains
outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and that such
redemption occurs within 45 days of the date of the closing of such public
equity offering.

              (6) [Intentionally omitted.]

              (7) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

         The Company will not be required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

              (8) REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.

                     (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be
         required to make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to repurchase
         all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of
         each Holder's Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate
         principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
         Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the
         "Change of Control Payment"). Within 10 days following any Change of
         Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth
         the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the
         Indenture.

                     (b) If the Company or a Subsidiary consummates any Asset
         Sales, within 30 days of each date on which the aggregate amount of
         Excess Proceeds exceeds $5 million, the Company will commence an offer
         to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is
         pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set
         forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem
         with the proceeds of sales of assets (an "Asset Sale Offer") pursuant
         to Section 3.10 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum principal
         amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu
         Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an
         offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount
         thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages
         thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in
         accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the
         extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including any Additional
         Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset
         Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such
         Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise
         prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes
         and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof
         exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
         Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata
         basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase
         will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any


<PAGE>


         related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by
         completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on
         the reverse of the Notes.

              (9) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at
         least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to
         each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.
         Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but
         only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a
         Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest
         ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

              (10) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in
         registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral
         multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes
         may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the
         Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
         appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may
         require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted
         by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
         transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption,
         except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
         Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any
         Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
         redeemed or during the period between a record date and the
         corresponding Interest Payment Date.

              (11) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be
         treated as its owner for all purposes.

              (12) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain
         exceptions, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may
         be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least
         a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and
         Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing
         default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the
         Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of
         the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
         Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without
         the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Subsidiary
         Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any
         ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes
         in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the
         provisions of Article 2 of the Indenture (including the related
         definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any
         Holder, to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any
         Guarantor's obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or
         consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional
         rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
         adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such
         Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect
         or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
         Indenture Act, to provide for the Issuance of Additional Notes in
         accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow
         any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture
         and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

              (13) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) the
         Company defaults for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or
         Liquidated Damages with respect to, the Notes whether or not prohibited
         by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (ii) the Company
         defaults in the payment when due (at maturity, upon


<PAGE>


         redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on
         the Notes (including, but not limited to, amounts due in connection
         with Mandatory Redemption), whether or not prohibited by the
         subordination provisions of the Indenture, (iii) the Company or any of
         its Subsidiaries fails to comply with the provisions of Section 4.10
         (other than the requirement that the resolution of the Board of
         Directors pursuant to clause (2) of the first paragraph of Section 4.10
         be set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, with
         respect to which the Event of Default described in clause (5) of the
         paragraph will apply), 4.15 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) the Company
         or any of its Subsidiaries fails to comply with the provisions of
         Section 4.07 or 4.09 of the Indenture such failure continues for 30
         days; (v) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries fails to observe or
         perform any other covenant, representation, warranty or other agreement
         in the Indenture or the Notes for 60 days after notice to the Company
         by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
         amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class; (vi)
         default under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the
         Company which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness
         prior to its express maturity; (vii) certain final judgments against
         the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for the payment of money that
         remain undischarged for a period of 60 days; (viii) certain events of
         bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, any Restricted
         Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
         Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant
         Subsidiary and (ix) except as permitted by the Indenture, any
         Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be
         unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full
         force and effect or any Guarantor or any Person acting on its behalf
         shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor's
         Subsidiary Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
         the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
         then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
         arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all
         outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or
         notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
         provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
         majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct
         the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may
         withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or
         Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the
         payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages) if it
         determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of
         a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
         by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
         Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
         consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event
         of Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages on, or the
         principal of, the Notes; provided, however, that at any time after a
         declaration of acceleration under the Indenture, but before a judgment
         or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the
         Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
         outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee,
         may rescind such declaration and its consequences given certain
         circumstances as provided in the Indenture. The Company is required to
         deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with
         the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any
         Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement
         specifying such Default or Event of Default.

              (14) SUBORDINATION. Payment of principal, interest and premium and
         Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes is subordinated to the prior
         payment of Senior Debt on the terms provided in the Indenture.

<PAGE>


              (15) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual
         or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and
         perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise
         deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

              (16) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee,
         incorporator or stockholder, of the Company or any of the Guarantors,
         as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company
         or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the
         Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
         such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note
         waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part
         of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

              (17) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until
         authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an
         authenticating agent.

              (18) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the
         name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in
         common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants
         with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=
         Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

              (19) ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED GLOBAL NOTES AND
         RESTRICTED DEFINITIVE NOTES. In addition to the rights provided to
         Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global
         Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes will have all the rights set
         forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of May 8, 2003,
         between the Company, the Guarantors and the other parties named on the
         signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of
         Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes will have the
         rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any,
         among the Company, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto,
         relating to rights given by the Company and the Guarantors to the
         purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the "Registration
         Rights Agreement").

              (20) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by
         the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the
