  Our significant indebtedness could adversely affect our financial

  Your right to receive payments on the notes is junior to our existing

    guarantees of the new notes are junior to all of the guarantors' existing
    senior indebtedness and possibly to all their future borrowings........................................... 23
  Since the notes are unsecured, your right to enforce remedies
    is limited by the rights of holders of secured debt....................................................... 24

    notes, and the assets of the non-guarantor subsidiaries may not be
    available to make payments on the notes................................................................... 24

  Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to
    void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors....................... 26

    would adversely affect our profitability.................................................................. 28
  We may be adversely affected by the trend towards retail trade consolidation................................ 28
  Sales of some of our products are seasonal.................................................................. 28
  We depend on suppliers in Asia.............................................................................. 28
  Competition in our industries may hinder our ability to execute our business
    strategy, achieve profitability, or maintain relationships with existing customers........................ 29
  If we fail to develop new or expand existing customer relationships, our
    ability to grow our business will be impaired............................................................. 30
  We cannot be certain that our product innovations and marketing successes will continue..................... 30
  Jarden and Tilia have no combined operating history and there can be no assurance
    that we will be able to successfully integrate Tilia's operations with our own............................ 30
  We may experience difficulty in integrating acquired businesses, which
    may interrupt our business operations..................................................................... 31
  Our operations are subject to a number of Federal, state and

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER



                                           
General.....................................  On April 24, 2002, we completed a private offering of the old notes, which
                                              consisted of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 9 3/4% Senior
                                              Subordinated Notes due 2012. In connection with the private offering, we entered
                                              into a registration rights agreement in which we agreed, among other things, to
                                              deliver this prospectus and to complete an exchange offer for the old notes.

The Exchange Offer..........................  We are offering to exchange $1,000 principal amount of our registered 9 3/4%
                                              Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, which we refer to as the "new notes," for each
                                              $1,000 principal amount of our unregistered 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due
                                              2012, which we refer to as the "old notes."

                                              We sometimes refer to the new notes and the old notes together as the "notes."
                                              Currently, $150.0 million principal amount of old notes are outstanding. The terms
                                              of the new notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the old
                                              notes, except that the special mandatory redemption provisions and the transfer
                                              restrictions applicable to the old notes are not applicable to the new notes.

                                              Old notes may be tendered only in $1,000 increments. Subject to the satisfaction
                                              or waiver of specified conditions, we will exchange the new notes for all old
                                              notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the
                                              exchange offer. See "The Exchange Offer -- Terms of the Exchange Offer."

                                              Upon completion of the exchange offer, there may be no market for the old notes
                                              and you may have difficulty selling them. See "Risk Factors - If you fail to
                                              exchange

                                              properly your old notes for new notes, you will continue to hold notes subject to
                                              transfer restrictions."

Expiration Date.............................  The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 27, 2002,
                                              unless extended, in which case the expiration date will mean the latest date and time
                                              to which we extend the exchange offer.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer............  The exchange offer is not subject to conditions other than that:

                                              o  it shall not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the
                                                 staff of the Commission,

                                              o  no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court
                                                 or by any governmental agency which might materially impair our ability to
                                                 proceed with the exchange offer, or

                                              o  all governmental approvals which we deem necessary for the completion of the
                                                 exchange offer shall have been obtained.

                                              The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of old
                                              notes being tendered for exchange.

                                              expiration date, either:

                                              o  a computer-generated message transmitted through The Depository Trust Company's
                                                 Automated Tender Offer Program system and received by the exchange agent and
                                                 forming a part of a confirmation of book-entry transfer in which you
                                                 acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal; or

                                              o  a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, which accompanies
                                                 this prospectus, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, together with
                                                 your old notes and any other required documentation, to the exchange agent at
                                                 its address listed in this prospectus and on the front cover of the letter of
                                                 transmittal.

                                              If you cannot satisfy either of these procedures on a timely basis, then you
                                              should comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. By
                                              executing the letter of transmittal, you will make the representations to us
                                              described under "The Exchange Offer-Procedures for Tendering."

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners....  If you are a beneficial owner whose old notes are registered in the name of a
                                              broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to
                                              tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered
                                              holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If
                                              you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must either:

                                              o  make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in your
                                                 name; or

                                              o  obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder, before
                                                 completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your old
                                                 notes.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures..............  If you wish to tender your old notes and time will not permit the documents
                                              required by the letter of transmittal to reach the exchange agent before the
                                              expiration date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a
                                              timely basis, you must tender your old notes according to the guaranteed delivery
                                              procedure described in this prospectus under "The Exchange Offer-Guaranteed
                                              Delivery Procedures."

Acceptance of Old Notes and
Delivery of New Notes.......................  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the exchange offer, we
                                              will accept for exchange any and all old notes which are validly tendered in the
                                              exchange offer and not withdrawn before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
                                              expiration date.

Withdrawal Rights...........................  You may withdraw the tender of your old notes at any time before 5:00 p.m., New
                                              York City time, on the expiration date, by complying with the procedures for
                                              withdrawal described in this prospectus under "The Exchange Offer-Withdrawal of
                                              Tenders."

                                             9





                                           
                                              reasons described in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if you
                                              withdraw any tendered old notes or submit old notes for a greater principal amount
                                              than you desire to exchange, we will return the unaccepted, withdrawn or
                                              non-exchanged old notes without expense to you as promptly as practicable after
                                              the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. See "The Exchange
                                              Offer-Return of Notes."

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.....  The exchange of old notes for new notes should not be a taxable event for United
                                              States Federal income tax purposes. For a discussion of the material Federal
                                              income tax consequences relating to the exchange of notes, see "Certain Federal
                                              Income Tax Considerations."

Exchange Agent..............................  The Bank of New York, the trustee under the indenture governing the old notes, is
                                              serving as the exchange agent.

Consequence of Failure to Exchange Notes....  If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes, you will continue to be
                                              subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the old notes and in the
                                              indenture governing the old notes. In general, the old notes may not be offered or
                                              sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption
                                              from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state
                                              securities laws. We do not currently plan to register the old notes under the
                                              Securities Act.

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE NEW NOTES

         The summary below describes the material terms of the new notes. Some
of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations
and exceptions. The "Description of the New Notes" section of this prospectus
contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the notes.
The terms of the new notes are substantially identical to those of the old
notes, except that the special mandatory redemption provisions and the transfer
restrictions applicable to the old notes are not applicable to the new notes.
The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes. The new notes and
the old notes will be governed by the same indenture.




                                           
Issuer......................................  Jarden Corporation.

Securities..................................  $150.0 million in principal amount of 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012.

Maturity....................................  May 1, 2012.

Interest....................................  Annual rate: 9 3/4%.
                                              Payment frequency: every six months on May 1 and November 1.
                                              First payment: November 1, 2002.

Guarantees..................................  The notes will be unconditionally guaranteed in full on a senior subordinated
                                              basis by each of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries. If we
                                              cannot make payments on the notes when they are due, the guarantors must make them
                                              instead. See "Risk Factors - Federal and state statutes allow courts, under
                                              specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return
                                              payments received from guarantors" and "Description of the New Notes - Subsidiary
                                              Guarantees."

 Ranking....................................  The notes and the guarantees will be unsecured senior subordinated obligations.
                                              Accordingly, they will rank:

                                              o  behind all of our and the guarantors' existing and future senior debt;

                                              o  equally with all our and the guarantors' existing and future unsecured senior
                                                 subordinated obligations issued under the indenture and which do not expressly
                                                 provide that they are subordinated to the notes; and

                                              o  ahead of any of our and the guarantors' future debt that expressly provides
                                                 that it is subordinated to the



                                             11




                                           
                                              notes.

                                              On a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2002, the notes and the guarantees would have
                                              been subordinated to approximately $50.0 million of senior debt. In addition,
                                              there would have been approximately $50.0 million of unused commitments under our
                                              new senior credit facility.

Optional Redemption.........................  On or after May 1, 2007, we may redeem some or all of the notes at any time at the
                                              redemption prices listed under "Description of the New Notes--Optional
                                              Redemption."

                                              Prior to May 1, 2005, we may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the proceeds from
                                              certain public equity offerings at the redemption price listed under "Description
                                              of the New Notes--Optional Redemption."

Mandatory Offer to Repurchase................ If we sell certain assets or experience certain types of changes of control, we
                                              must offer to repurchase the notes at the prices listed in the section
                                              "Description of the New Notes--Repurchase at the Option of Holders." There can be
                                              no assurance that we will have available funds sufficient to repurchase all of the
                                              notes that might be tendered by holders of the notes seeking to accept the
                                              repurchase offer. See Risk Factors-We may not have the ability to raise the funds
                                              necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture."

Certain Covenants...........................  The indenture  governing the notes will,  among other things,  limit our
                                              and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

                                              o  incur additional indebtedness;

                                              o  pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock;

                                              o  make investments;

                                              o  engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

                                              o  incur liens;

                                              o  transfer or sell assets; and

                                              o  consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

                                   THE COMPANY


         Jarden Corporation, formerly known as Alltrista Corporation, is a
leading provider of niche consumer products used in home food preservation. We
operate two distinct business groups, consumer products and material based. Our
consumer products group markets and distributes the FoodSaver(R) line, which is
the U.S. market leader in home vacuum packaging systems and accessories and is
the leading North American manufacturer, distributor and marketer of home
canning and related products, primarily under the Ball(R), Kerr(R) and
Bernardin(R) brands. Our materials based group is the country's largest producer
of zinc strip and is a plastics manufacturer .

         During 2001, we repositioned our growth strategy to focus on consumer
products. Alltrista Consumer Products manufactures, markets and distributes a
broad line of home food preservation and preparation products that includes
recognized brand name home canning jars, jar closures and other accessories
(including fruit pectin, Fruit-Fresh(R) brand fruit protector, pickle mixes and
tomato mixes). As of April 24, 2002, through the acquisition of Tilia
International, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Tilia"), our consumer products group
markets and distributes the FoodSaver(R) vacuum packaging system. Vacuum
packaging is the process of removing air from a container to create a vacuum,
and then sealing the container so that air cannot re-enter.

         Our materials based group is comprised of three business segments:
metals, injection molded plastics, and other. Our metals business is the sole
source supplier of copper plated zinc penny blanks to both the United States
Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint. In addition, we manufacture a line of
industrial zinc items used in the plumbing, automotive, electrical component and
European architectural markets, and the Lifejacket(R) anti-corrosion system. Our
plastic injection molding business manufactures precision custom components for
major companies in the healthcare and consumer products industries including
CIBA Vision Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, Meridian Diagnostics, Inc., The
Scotts Company and Winchester Ammunition. The other segment includes the
manufacturing of non-injection molded plastic parts and other immaterial
business activities.


CONSUMER PRODUCTS GROUP


         The consumer products group is comprised of two segments: vacuum
packaging and domestic consumables.

         Our domestic consumables segment manufactures, markets and distributes
a line of home food preservation products to serve value, mid-tier and premium
oriented customers, which products include home canning jars, jar closures, home
canning tools, and other accessories. These products are marketed under the
well-known Ball(R), Bernardin(R), Golden Harvest(R), and Kerr(R) brand names. We
also market and distribute related food products, including fruit pectin,
Fruit-Fresh(R) brand fruit protector, pickle mixes, tomato mixes and all-in-one
canning kits, including a jam pectin kit and jelly and salsa kits. In addition,
we market a line of housewares under the Golden Harvest(R) brand, including
tumblers, beverage tappers and other glassware.

         We also provide patented vacuum packaging systems for household use
marketed under the FoodSaver(R) brand. Our seven models of compact, patented
counter-top FoodSaver(R) appliances incorporate a vacuum pump and bag sealer to
keep foods fresh and are sold at prices ranging from approximately $100 to
almost $300. We market our FoodSaver(R) appliances in tandem with


                                       14



our patented FoodSaver(R) bags and rolls and complementary accessories,
including canisters, containers, lids, jar sealers and bottle stoppers.

Customers


         Our customers are a diverse group of wholesalers and retailers in the
United States and Canada. Our principal customers include grocery stores, mass
merchants, and hardware stores, but we also sell through sporting goods and
outdoor stores and specialty retailers. We have been Wal-Mart's category manager
for the home canning segment since 1998. In this role, we are responsible for
the home canning section within the store, including inventory management, the
introduction of new items, and the creation of various reports to track
inventory, sales, and margins. In addition to these channels of distribution,
vacuum packaging products are sold directly to individual consumers through
direct-to-consumer channels. Our direct-to-consumer sales have primarily been
made through infomercials and catalogs.


Sales and Marketing

         Our consumer products sales are made in the United States and Canada
through food brokers and manufacturer representative organizations as well as
through our internal sales force and house accounts. We employ regional sales
managers located in key geographic areas who oversee the sales and retail
activities of food brokerage firms and independent manufacturer representatives.

Distribution and Fulfillment

         We utilize company-operated and independent warehouses located in
various regions of the United States and Canada to distribute our products. The
largest of these warehouses is located in Muncie, Indiana and is operated by an
outsourced provider, which utilizes highly automated packaging equipment
allowing us to maintain our efficient and effective logistics and freight
management processes. We also work with an outsourced provider for the delivery
of our products in order to ensure that as many shipments as possible are
processed as full truckloads, saving significant freight costs.

Manufacturing

         We manufacture the metal closures for our home canning jars at our
Muncie, Indiana facility. Lithographed tin plated steel sheet is cut and formed
to produce the lids and bands. Liquid plastisol, which we formulate, is applied
to lids, forming an airtight seal, which is necessary for safe and effective
home canning. Finished products are packaged for integration with glass jars or
sold in multi-packs as replacement lids.


         Vacuum packaging products are sourced through a network of independent
manufacturers. Appliances are currently sourced through three facilities in
China; bags and rolls are currently sourced through suppliers in Korea and the
United States; and accessories are sourced from Taiwan, China and the United
States. Our own research and development department designs and engineers
products in the United States and sets strict engineering specifications for the
third-party manufacturers. We maintain ownership over all necessary production
molds.




                                       15



Intellectual Property

         Management believes that none of our active trademarks or patents is
essential to the successful operation of our business as a whole. However, one
or more trademarks or patents may be material in relation to individual products
or product lines such as our property rights to use the Ball(R), FoodSaver(R),
Fruit-Fresh(R), Golden Harvest(R), and Kerr(R) brand names and the Bernardin(R)
trade name in connection with certain goods to be sold, including home food
preservation supplies, kitchen housewares and packaged foods for human
consumption.

         We hold patents throughout many primary worldwide markets on both the
design of the FoodSaver(R) appliance itself as well as on many of its
components. Our patent on the FoodSaver(R) vacuum seal appliance expires in
2009, and our patent on FoodSaver(R) bags expires in 2005. The key elements of
the bag are a unique waffle pattern that facilitates air removal, an oxygen
barrier layer that prevents air from entering the bag and a heat resistant outer
layer to allow easy sealing without burn-through. In addition, we have
registered the VacLoc, SaverMate, VacuTop and VacuSave names with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office and in several countries throughout the world. In
addition, we have developed a proprietary two-piece closure system incorporating
a plastisol sealant that differentiates our jar lids from our competitors' lids.

         Pursuant to the terms of the 1993 distribution agreement with Ball
Corporation, we were granted a license to use the Ball(R) brand name for our
consumer products. In the event of a change of control of Jarden which has not
received the approval of a majority of our board of directors or causes us to be
controlled or majority owned by a competitor of Ball, Ball has the option to
terminate our license to use the Ball(R) brand name. Pursuant to the terms of an
agreement with Kerr Group, Inc., we have a perpetual exclusive, worldwide
license to use the Kerr(R) brand name in our consumer products division.
However, in the event of a change of control of Jarden which has not received
the approval of a majority of our board of directors, Kerr has the option to
terminate our license to use the Kerr(R) brand name.

Raw Materials

         Most of our glass canning jars are supplied under an agreement with
Anchor Glass Container Corporation. Such glass materials are also available from
a variety of other sources at competitive prices. The tin plate raw material
used in the manufacture of our home canning jar lids and closures is supplied by
multiple vendors and is currently available from a variety of sources at
competitive prices. Historically, the raw materials and components that are
necessary for the manufacture of our products have been available in the
quantities that we require.

Competition

         We are the leading provider of home canning products and related
accessories and our brands represent a significant portion of the sales in this
niche market. In addition to the competitors in our niche market, we compete
with companies who specialize in other food preservation mediums such as
freezing and dehydration.


         Our vacuum packaging appliances compete with marketers of
"conventional" food storage solutions, such as plastic bags and containers. In
addition, our competitors include manufacturers of sealing appliances that
heat-seal bags, but, we believe, do not create a vacuum seal




                                       16



comparable to ours. There are also several companies that manufacture industrial
and commercial vacuum packaging products, but we do not believe that these
manufacturers have attempted to enter the household marketplace.

MATERIALS BASED GROUP


         Our materials based group is currently comprised of three business
segments: metals, injection molded plastics, and other.


METALS

         We believe our zinc strip business is the largest producer of zinc
strip and fabricated products in the United States. We are the sole source
supplier of copper plated zinc penny blanks to both the United States Mint and
the Royal Canadian Mint and are currently exploring opportunities with several
other countries. In addition, we manufacture a line of industrial zinc items
used in the plumbing, automotive, electrical component and European
architectural markets, and the Lifejacket(R) anti-corrosion system. Our
anticorrosion zinc Lifejacket(R) is gaining recognition as a cost-effective
solution to arrest the corrosion of the reinforcement steel within poured
concrete structures. We are affected by fluctuations in penny blank requirements
of the United States Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System.
Although the future use of the penny as legal tender has been debated in recent
years, management believes that the zinc based coinage will remain an important
part of the currency system for the foreseeable future.

Sales and Marketing

         Our sales and marketing staff consists of individuals with considerable
technical background in the field of metallurgy. These individuals focus on
leveraging our core capabilities in zinc metallurgy and electrochemistry to
exploit new market opportunities. The sales and marketing staff works closely
with our engineering and technical services group to deliver products to the
customer. We maintain a website which contains technical information regarding
the advantageous physical properties of zinc versus other metals.

Manufacturing

         In our Greenville, Tennessee facility, we manufacture alloys of zinc
strip and fabricated zinc products in a number of configurations for our
customers. We have five lines used to slit the coils into widths specific by
customers. Many customers require less than the full master coil diameters, so
the large coils are broken down into the requested diameters at the time they
are slit. We also produce coin blanks stamped from slit coils using one of five
high-speed presses. The stamped blanks are then rimmed and put into one of three
electroplating lines where the copper coating is applied.

Raw Materials

         We purchase special high-grade zinc ingot and a variety of metals,
including copper, lead, titanium, magnesium, manganese and other alloys, to
produce the zinc alloys we use in our various applications. These alloys have
been developed by our technical staff to meet the specific



                                       17



physical and chemical characteristics of the finished product applications. We
purchase zinc ingot based on market prices quoted on the London Metals Exchange
(month-end average price) from a variety of suppliers. Certain customers,
including the United States Mint, provide their own purchased zinc that is
utilized to manufacture product at a toll conversion price. We purchase copper
for both alloying and plating purposes based on market prices quoted on the New
York Commodities and Metals Exchange. As with zinc ingot, the United States Mint
supplies the required copper for one-cent coin blanks. We also purchase a
variety of chemicals for production and waste treatment, primarily for use in
copper plating. Prices for chemicals are negotiated with suppliers based on
market supply and demand conditions and volume purchase levels.



INJECTION MOLDED PLASTICS

         We manufacture precision custom injection molded components for major
companies in the healthcare and consumer products industries. We also own
Yorker(R) Closures, a proprietary product line of plastic closures. Products for
the healthcare industry include items such as intravenous harness components and
surgical devices. Products for manufacturers of consumer goods primarily include
packaging and sport shooting ammunition components.

Customers

         We supply shotgun shell components to Winchester Ammunition and various
healthcare products (such as contact lens cases) to CIBA Vision Corporation,
Ethicon, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, CB Fleet Company, Inc., and Meridian
Diagnostics, Inc. and consumer products for The Scotts Company, among others.

Sales and Marketing

         We concentrate our marketing efforts in those markets that require high
levels of precision, quality, and engineering expertise. There is potential for
continued growth in all product lines, especially in the health care market,
where our quality, service and "clean room" molding operations are critical
competitive factors.

Manufacturing

         We manufacture at three facilities located in Greenville, South
Carolina; Reedsville, Pennsylvania; and Springfield, Missouri. The
injection-molding process involves converting plastic resin pellets to a fluid
state through elevated temperature and pressure, at which point the resin is
injected into a mold where it is then formed into a finished part. Molded parts
are usually small, intricate components that are produced using multi-cavity
tooling. Post-molding operations employ robotics and automation for assembly and
packaging.

Raw Materials

         We purchase resin from regular commercial sources of supply and, in
most cases, multiple sources. The supply and demand for plastic resins are
subject to cyclical and other market factors.



                                       18




Competition

         The market for injection molded plastics is highly competitive. We
concentrate our marketing efforts in those markets that require high levels of
precision, quality, engineering expertise and cleanliness. We have
differentiated ourselves from our competitors by developing long-lasting
relationships with a number of specialty tooling manufacturers and by possessing
strong design capabilities. We believe that the quality and cleanliness of our
facilities provides another competitive advantage for us. As a result, we
believe that we will continue to capture new injection molding programs as they
come to market, as well as benefit from continued outsourcing trends among
original equipment manufacturers.


OTHER

         Effective November 26, 2001, we sold our underperforming thermoformed
plastics operations consisting of the assets of our Triangle, TriEnda and
Synergy World divisions (the "TPD Assets") to Wilbert, Inc. for $21.0 million in
cash, a $1.9 million noninterest-bearing one-year note, and the assumption of
certain identified liabilities. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $121.1 million in
2001 related to the sale.

         Effective November 1, 2001, we sold our majority interest in Microlin,
LLC, a developer of proprietary battery and fluid delivery technology, for
$1,000 in cash plus contingent consideration based upon future performance
through December 31, 2012 and the cancellation of future funding requirements.
We recorded a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million in 2001 related to the sale.

         Currently, our other business primarily manufactures thermoformed
plastic white goods for a variety of customers in our Fort Smith, Arkansas
facility. We also manufacture and sell extruded plastic sheet and roll stock
products in smooth, textured and laminated finishes for a variety of customers.
Additionally, we produce plastic tables for original equipment manufacturers in
our Fort Smith plant and have a proprietary line of tables selling under the
Vision(TM) brand that are primarily sold to the hospitality and institutional
markets. Our customers are primarily other equipment manufacturers.



                                       19




         Our products are produced through a thermoforming process.
Thermoforming is an operation in which plastic sheet is converted into a formed
product through single- or twin-sheet vacuum or pressure formed in conjunction
with the application of heat. After the product is formed, the process of
removing the excess material, or trimming, is generally performed by automated
equipment programmed to execute the appropriate steps to produce the finished
part to the customer's specifications.

         We purchase resin directly for use in the manufacture of extruded sheet
and also purchase plastic sheet from third-party suppliers in those instances
where we are unable to provide for our needs internally. These raw materials are
obtained from regular commercial sources of supply and, in most cases, multiple
sources. The supply and demand for plastic resins are subject to cyclical and
other market factors. Certain of our customers purchase the resin on our behalf
thereby providing us protection from price fluctuations.


GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS


         We enter into contracts with the United States Government which contain
termination provisions customary for government contracts. See "Metals" under
the materials based group discussion above. The United States Government retains
the right to terminate such contracts at its convenience. However, if the
contract is terminated, we are entitled to be reimbursed for allowable costs and
profits to the date of termination relating to authorized work performed to such
date. The United States Government contracts are also subject to reduction or
modification in the event of changes in government requirements or budgetary
constraints. Since entering into a contract with us in 1981, the United States
Government has not terminated the penny blank supply arrangement.


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         Our operations are subject to Federal, state and local environmental
and health and safety laws and regulations, including those that impose
workplace standards and regulate the discharge of pollutants into the
environment and establish standards for the handling, generation, emission,
release, discharge, treatment, storage and disposal of materials and substances
including solid and hazardous wastes. We believe that we are in material
compliance with such laws and regulations. Further, the cost of maintaining
compliance has not, and we believe, in the future, will not, have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Due to the nature of our operations and the frequently changing nature of
environmental compliance standards and technology, we cannot predict with any
certainty that future material capital or operating expenditures will not be
required in order to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations.



                                       20



         In addition to operational standards, environmental laws also impose
obligations on various entities to clean up contaminated properties or to pay
for the cost of such remediation, often upon parties that did not actually cause
the contamination. We have attempted to limit our exposure to such liabilities
through contractual indemnities and other mechanisms. We do not believe that any
of our existing remediation obligations, including at third-party sites where we
have been named a potentially responsible party, will have a material adverse
effect upon our business, results of operations or financial condition.

EMPLOYEES


         As of June 30, 2002, we employed approximately 950 people.
Approximately 215 union workers are covered by two collective bargaining
agreements at our metals and domestic consumables manufacturing facilities.
These agreements expire at the domestic consumables facility (Muncie, Indiana)
on October 15, 2006, and at the metals facility (Greeneville, Tennessee) on
October 4, 2003.


         We have not experienced a work stoppage during the past five years.
Management believes that its relationships with our employees and collective
bargaining unions are satisfactory.

                                      * * *
        Our principal executive offices are located at 555 Theodore Fremd
Avenue, Rye, New York, 10580.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         Our business, operations and financial condition are subject to various
risks. The material risks are described below, and you should take these risks
into account in evaluating us or any investment decision involving us or in
deciding whether to tender your old notes in exchange for new notes in this
exchange offer. This section does not describe all risks applicable to us, our
industry or our business, and it is intended only as a summary of the material
risk factors. The risk factors set forth below are generally applicable to the
old notes as well as the new notes.

RISKS RELATING TO THE NOTES

IF YOU FAIL TO EXCHANGE PROPERLY YOUR OLD NOTES FOR NEW NOTES, YOU WILL CONTINUE
TO HOLD NOTES SUBJECT TO TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

         The new notes will be issued in exchange for old notes only after
timely receipt by the exchange agent of the old notes, a properly completed and
duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents. Therefore,
if you desire to tender your old notes in exchange for new notes, you should
allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Your failure to follow these
procedures may result in delay in receiving new notes on a timely basis or in
your loss of the right to receive new notes. Neither we nor the exchange agent
is under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect
to tenders of old notes for exchange. If you tender old notes in the exchange
offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes, you
will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.
See "The Exchange Offer-Procedures for Tendering" and "Plan of Distribution".

         If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes pursuant to the
exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer
of the old notes as set forth in the legend on the old notes. In general, the
old notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act,
or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We do not currently intend
to register the old notes under the Securities Act. To the extent that old notes
are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for
untendered and tendered but unaccepted old notes could be adversely affected.

OUR SIGNIFICANT INDEBTEDNESS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH, AND
PREVENT US FROM FULFILLING OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NOTES.

         As a result of the acquisition of Tilia, we have a significant amount
of indebtedness. Our significant indebtedness could:

         o  make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with
            respect to the notes;

         o  increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
            conditions;



                                       22



         o  require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from
            operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the
            availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital
            expenditures, acquisitions and investments and other general
            corporate purposes;

         o  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in
            our business and the markets in which we operate;

         o  place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors
            that have less debt; and

         o  limit, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds.

         The following table sets forth our total debt, total stockholders'
equity, total capitalization and ratio of debt to total capitalization on a pro
forma basis:



                                                   June 30, 2002

       The terms of the indenture governing the notes and the new senior credit
facility allow us to issue and incur additional debt upon satisfaction of
certain conditions. See "Description of Senior Indebtedness" for a description
of our new senior credit facility. If new debt is added to current debt levels,
the related risks described above could increase.

YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES IS JUNIOR TO OUR EXISTING SENIOR
INDEBTEDNESS AND POSSIBLY ALL OF OUR FUTURE BORROWINGS. FURTHER, THE GUARANTEES
OF THE NEW NOTES ARE JUNIOR TO ALL OF THE GUARANTORS' EXISTING SENIOR
INDEBTEDNESS AND POSSIBLY TO ALL THEIR FUTURE BORROWINGS.

         The notes and the guarantees rank behind all of our and the guarantors'
existing senior indebtedness and all of our and the guarantors' future senior
indebtedness. See "Description of Senior Indebtedness" for a description of our
new senior credit facility. On a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2002, the notes
and the guarantees would have been subordinated to approximately $50.0 million
of senior debt. In addition, our new senior credit facility would have permitted
up to approximately $50.0 million of additional borrowings, subject to
compliance with the covenants and conditions to borrowing under the new senior
credit facility, which borrowings would be senior to the notes and the
guarantees. We will be permitted to borrow substantial additional indebtedness,
including senior debt, in the future.



                                       23



         As a result of this subordination, upon any distribution to our
creditors or the creditors of the guarantors in a bankruptcy, liquidation or
reorganization or similar proceedings relating to us or the guarantors or our or
the guarantors' property, the holders of our senior debt and the senior debt of
the guarantors will be entitled to be paid in full in cash before any payment
may be made with respect to the notes or the guarantees.

         In addition, all payments on the new notes and the guarantees will be
blocked in the event of a payment default on senior debt and may be blocked for
up to 179 consecutive days in the event of certain non-payment defaults on
designated senior debt.

         In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar
proceeding relating to us or the guarantors, the indenture relating to the new
notes will require that amounts otherwise payable to holders of the new notes in
a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders of senior debt instead
until the holders of senior debt are paid in full. As a result, holders of the
new notes may not receive all amounts owed to them and may receive less,
ratably, than holders of trade payables and other unsubordinated indebtedness in
any such proceeding.

SINCE THE NOTES ARE UNSECURED, YOUR RIGHT TO ENFORCE REMEDIES IS LIMITED BY THE
RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SECURED DEBT.

         In addition to being contractually subordinated to all existing and
future senior indebtedness, our obligations under the new notes will be
unsecured while obligations under our senior credit facility will be secured by
substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries. If we become
insolvent or are liquidated, or if payment under the new senior credit facility
is accelerated, the lenders under the new senior credit facility are entitled to
exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law. These
lenders have a claim on all assets securing the new senior credit facility
before the holders of unsecured debt, including the notes.

NOT ALL OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES WILL GUARANTEE OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NOTES, AND
THE ASSETS OF THE NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO MAKE
PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES.

         Our present and future domestic restricted subsidiaries will guarantee
the notes. Payments on the notes are only required to be made by us and the
subsidiary guarantors. As a result, no payments are required to be made from
assets of subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes, unless those assets are
transferred by dividend or otherwise to us or a subsidiary guarantor. On a pro
forma basis, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001, the aggregate total
assets and net sales of our foreign subsidiaries, which represent all of our
non-guarantor subsidiaries, were $14.3 million and $15.3 million, respectively,
or 4.6% and 3.6%, respectively, of our total assets and net sales.

         In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of
the non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their liabilities, including their
trade creditors, will be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of
those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us.
As a result, the notes are effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and
other liabilities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries.



                                       24



WE WILL REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH TO SERVICE OUR INDEBTEDNESS. OUR
ABILITY TO GENERATE CASH DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

         Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness,
including the notes and amounts borrowed under our senior credit facility, and
to fund planned capital expenditures and expansion efforts and strategic
acquisitions we may make in the future, if any, will depend on our ability to
generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general
economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control.

         Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from
operations, together with available cash and available borrowings under our
senior credit facility, will be adequate to meet future liquidity needs for at
least the next twelve months. However, we cannot assure you that our business
will generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future, that our
currently anticipated growth in revenues and cash flow will be realized on
schedule or that future borrowings will be available to us under the new senior
credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to service indebtedness,
including the new notes, or to fund other liquidity needs. We may need to
refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the notes and our
senior credit facility, on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

THE INDENTURE RELATED TO THE NOTES AND OUR SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY CONTAIN
VARIOUS COVENANTS WHICH LIMIT OUR MANAGEMENT'S DISCRETION IN THE OPERATION OF
OUR BUSINESS.

         Our senior credit facility and the indenture related to the notes
contain various provisions that limit our management's discretion by restricting
our and our subsidiaries' ability to, among other things:

         o  incur additional indebtedness;

         o  pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital
            stock;

         o  make investments;

         o  engage in transactions with affiliates;

         o  incur liens;

         o  transfer or sell assets; and

         o  consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our
            assets.

         In addition, our senior credit facility requires us to meet certain
financial ratios. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of our senior
credit facility, the indenture related to the notes or any other subsequent
financing agreements may result in an event of default. An event of default may
allow the creditors, if the agreements so provide, to accelerate the related
debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default
provision applies. In addition, the lenders may be able to terminate any
commitments they had made to supply us with further funds.



                                       25



WE MAY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO RAISE THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO FINANCE THE CHANGE
OF CONTROL OFFER REQUIRED BY THE INDENTURE.

         Upon the occurrence of certain specific kinds of change of control
events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding new notes.
However, it is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at the time of
the change of control to make the required repurchase of notes. In addition,
restrictions in our senior credit facility prohibit repurchases of the notes
unless a waiver is obtained from the lenders or our senior credit facility is
repaid in full. If we fail to repurchase the new notes following a change of
control, we will be in default under the indenture related to the new notes,
which will result in a cross-default under our senior credit facility. Any
future debt which we incur may also contain restrictions on repayment of the
notes. In addition, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged
recapitalizations, that would increase the level of our indebtedness would not
constitute a change of control under the indenture related to the notes.

A PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE NEW NOTES MAY NOT DEVELOP.

         There can be no assurance that a public market for the new notes will
develop or, if such a market develops, as to the liquidity of the market. If a
market were to develop, the new notes could trade at prices that may be higher
or lower than their principal amount. We do not intend to apply for listing of
the new notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of the new notes on
any automated quotation system. The initial purchasers, Banc of America
Securities LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp., and NatCity Investments Inc., have
previously made a market in the old notes, and we have been advised that the
initial purchasers currently intend to make a market in the new notes, as
permitted by applicable laws and regulations, after consummation of the exchange
offer. The initial purchasers are not obligated, however, to make a market in
the old notes or the new notes, and any market-making activity may be
discontinued at any time without notice at the sole discretion of the initial
purchasers. If an active public market does not develop or continue, the market
price and liquidity of the new notes may be adversely affected.

         In addition, the liquidity of the trading market in the new notes, and
the market price quoted for the new notes, may be adversely affected by changes
in the overall market for high-yield securities and by changes in our financial
performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry
generally. As a result, you cannot be sure that an active trading market will
develop for the notes.

FEDERAL AND STATE STATUTES ALLOW COURTS, UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, TO VOID
GUARANTEES AND REQUIRE NOTEHOLDERS TO RETURN PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM GUARANTORS.

         If a bankruptcy case or lawsuit is initiated by unpaid creditors of any
guarantor, the debt represented by the guarantees entered into by the guarantors
may be reviewed under the Federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of
state fraudulent transfer laws. Under these laws, a guarantee could be voided,
or claims in respect of the guarantee could be subordinated to certain
obligations of a guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it
entered into the guarantee:

         o  received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration
            for entering into



                                       26



            the guarantee; and

         o  either:

            o  was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of entering into a
               guarantee; or

            o  as engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's
               remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

            o  intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts or
               contingent liabilities beyond its ability to pay them as they
               become due.

         In addition, any payment by a guarantor could be voided and required to
be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the guarantor's
creditors under those circumstances.

         If a guarantee of a subsidiary were voided as a fraudulent conveyance
or held unenforceable for any other reason, holders of the notes would be solely
creditors of our company and creditors of our other subsidiaries that have
validly guaranteed the notes. The notes then would be effectively subordinated
to all liabilities of the subsidiary whose guarantee was voided.

         The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer
laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine
whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor
would be considered insolvent if:

         o  the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater
            than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; or

         o  the present fair saleable value of its assets were less than the
            amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its
            existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become
            absolute and mature; or

         o  it could not pay its debts or contingent liabilities as they become
            due.

         If the claims of the holders of the new notes against any subsidiary
were subordinated in favor of other creditors of the subsidiary, the other
creditors would be entitled to be paid in full before any payment could be made
on the new notes. If one or more of the guarantees is voided or subordinated, we
cannot assure you that after providing for all prior claims there would be
sufficient assets remaining to satisfy the claims of the holders of the new
notes.

         Based upon financial and other information, we believe that the
guarantees are being incurred for proper proposes and in good faith and that we,
and our subsidiaries that are guarantors, on a consolidated basis, are solvent
and will continue to be solvent after this offering is completed, will have
sufficient capital for carrying on our business after the issuance of the new
notes and will be able to pay our debts as they mature. We cannot assure you,
however, as to the standard a court would apply in making these determinations
or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.



                                       27



RISKS RELATING TO JARDEN

REDUCTIONS, CANCELLATIONS, OR DELAYS IN CUSTOMER PURCHASES WOULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY.


         Customers in our consumer products group, and many customers in our
materials based group, generally do not enter into long-term contracts or
commitments with us. As a result, these customers may cancel their orders,
change purchase quantities from forecast volumes, or delay purchases for a
number of reasons beyond our control. Significant or numerous cancellations,
reductions, or delays in purchases by customers could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In
addition, because many of our costs are fixed, a reduction in customer demand
could have an adverse affect on our gross profit margins and operating income.

         Sales to one customer in our consumer products group, Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc. and its affiliates, accounted for approximately 8% of our 2001 consolidated
net sales and approximately 17% of our 2001 consolidated net sales on a pro
forma basis. In addition, sales to one customer in our materials based group
accounted for approximately 8% of our 2001 consolidated net sales and
approximately 6% of our 2001 consolidated net sales on a pro forma basis. A
significant reduction in purchases from either of these customers could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.


WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE TREND TOWARDS RETAIL TRADE CONSOLIDATION.


         With the growing trend towards retail trade consolidation, we are
increasingly dependent upon key retailers whose bargaining strength is growing.
Our consumer products businesses may be negatively affected by changes in the
policies of our retailer customers, such as inventory destocking, limitations on
access to shelf space, price demands and other conditions.


SALES OF SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE SEASONAL.

         Sales of certain of our products, particularly our consumer products,
are seasonal. Sales of our home canning products generally reflect the pattern
of the growing season, and sales of our FoodSaver(R) products generally are
strongest in the fourth quarter preceding the holiday season. Sales of these
products may be negatively impacted by unfavorable weather conditions and other
market trends. Sales of our consumer products may also be adversely affected by
the trend toward decreasing prices and increasing quality of purchased preserved
food products. Either or both of these factors could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

WE DEPEND ON SUPPLIERS IN ASIA.

         The vast majority of our FoodSaver(R) products are manufactured by
third party suppliers in China and Korea. Any adverse change in, among other
things, any of the following could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition:

         o  our relationship with these suppliers;

         o  the financial condition of these suppliers;



                                       28



         o  our ability to import outsourced products; or

         o  these suppliers' ability to manufacture and deliver outsourced
            products on a timely basis.

         We cannot assure you that we could quickly or effectively replace any
of our suppliers if the need arose, and we cannot assure you that we could
retrieve tooling and molds possessed by any of our suppliers. Our dependence on
these few suppliers could also adversely affect our ability to react quickly and
effectively to changes in the market for our products. In addition,
international manufacturing is subject to significant risks, including, among
other things:

         o  labor unrest;

         o  political instability;

         o  restrictions on transfer of funds;

         o  domestic and international customs and tariffs;

         o  unexpected changes in regulatory environments; and

         o  potentially adverse tax consequences.

         Labor in China has historically been readily available at relatively
low cost as compared to labor costs applicable in other nations. China has
experienced rapid social, political and economic change in recent years. We
cannot assure you that labor will continue to be available to us in China at
costs consistent with historical levels. A substantial increase in labor costs
in China could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. Although China currently enjoys "most
favored nation" trading status with the United States, the U.S. government has
in the past proposed to revoke such status and to impose higher tariffs on
products imported from China. We cannot assure you that our business will not be
affected by the aforementioned risks, each of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

COMPETITION IN OUR INDUSTRIES MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS
STRATEGY, ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY, OR MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXISTING
CUSTOMERS.


         We operate in highly competitive industries. We compete against
numerous other domestic and foreign companies, many of which are more
established in their industries and have substantially greater revenue or
resources than we do. We also face competition from the manufacturing
operations of our current and potential customers in our materials based group.
A shift away from outsourcing on behalf of our current or potential customers
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. Competition could cause price reductions, reduced profits
or losses, or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our business.




                                       29




          To compete effectively in the future in the consumer products
industry, among other things, we must:


         o  maintain strict quality standards;

         o  develop new products that appeal to consumers; and

         o  deliver products on a reliable basis at competitive prices.


         To compete effectively in the future in the materials based industry,
among other things, we must:


         o  provide technologically advanced manufacturing services;

         o  maintain strict quality standards;

         o  respond flexibly and rapidly to customers' design and schedule
            changes; and

         o  deliver products on a reliable basis at competitive prices.

         Our inability to do any of these things could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP NEW OR EXPAND EXISTING CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS, OUR ABILITY
TO GROW OUR BUSINESS WILL BE IMPAIRED.


         Growth in our consumer products and materials based groups depends to
a significant degree upon our ability to develop new customer relationships and
to expand existing relationships with current customers. We cannot guarantee
that new customers will be found, that any such new relationships will be
successful when they are in place, or that business with current customers will
increase. Failure to develop and expand such relationships could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT OUR PRODUCT INNOVATIONS AND MARKETING SUCCESSES WILL
CONTINUE.

         We believe that our future success will depend, in part, upon our
ability to continue to introduce innovative designs in our existing products and
to develop, manufacture and market new products. We cannot assure you that we
will be successful in the introduction, marketing and manufacturing of any new
products or product innovations, or develop and introduce in a timely manner
innovations to our existing products which satisfy customer needs or achieve
market acceptance. Our failure to develop new products and introduce them
successfully and in a timely manner would harm our ability to grow our business
and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

JARDEN AND TILIA HAVE NO COMBINED OPERATING HISTORY AND THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE TILIA'S OPERATIONS WITH
OUR OWN.

Prior to our acquisition of Tilia, Tilia was operated as a separate independent
entity, and there



                                       30



can be no assurance that we will be able to integrate the operations of Tilia
successfully or to institute the necessary systems and procedures, including
accounting and financial reporting systems, to manage the combined enterprise on
a profitable basis. There can be no assurance that our management group will be
able to manage the combined entity effectively or to implement successfully our
acquisition and internal growth operating strategies. The pro forma financial
results contained herein cover periods in which Jarden and Tilia were not under
common control and may not be indicative of our future financial or operating
results. Our inability to integrate Tilia successfully could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

WE MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY IN INTEGRATING ACQUIRED BUSINESSES, WHICH MAY
INTERRUPT OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

         We intend to grow through the acquisition of additional companies,
including the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Tilia. We expect
to face competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of
opportunities and may lead to higher acquisition prices. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire, or manage profitably
additional businesses or to integrate successfully any acquired businesses into
our existing business without substantial costs, delays or other operational or
financial difficulties. Further, acquisitions involve a number of special risks,
including failure of the acquired business to achieve expected results,
diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key personnel of the
acquired business and risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities,
some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

OUR OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATIONS.

Our operations are subject to Federal, state and local environmental and health
and safety laws and regulations including those that impose workplace standards
and regulate the discharge of pollutants into the environment and establish
standards for the handling, generation, emission, release, discharge, treatment,
storage and disposal of materials and substances including solid and hazardous
wastes. We believe that we are in material compliance with such laws and
regulations and that the cost of maintaining compliance will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
While we do not anticipate having to make, and historically have not had to
make, significant capital expenditures in order to comply with applicable
environmental laws and regulations, due to the nature of our operations and the
frequently changing nature of environmental compliance standards and technology,
we cannot predict with any certainty that future material capital expenditures
will not be required.

WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY REMEDIATION OBLIGATIONS MANDATED BY APPLICABLE
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.

In addition to operational standards, environmental laws also impose obligations
on various entities to clean up contaminated properties or to pay for the cost
of such remediation, often upon parties that did not actually cause the
contamination. Accordingly, we may become liable, either contractually or by
operation of law, for remediation costs even if the contaminated property is not
presently owned or operated by us, is a landfill or other location where we have
disposed



                                       31



wastes, or if the contamination was caused by third parties during or prior to
our ownership or operation of the property. Given the nature of the past
industrial operations conducted by us and others at these properties, there can
be no assurance that all potential instances of soil or groundwater
contamination have been identified, even for those properties where an
environmental site assessment has been conducted. We do not believe that any of
our existing remediation obligations, including at third-party sites where we
have been named a potentially responsible party, will require material capital
or operating expenditures or will otherwise have a material adverse effect upon
our business, results of operations or financial condition. However, future
events, such as changes in existing laws or policies or their enforcement, or
the discovery of currently unknown contamination, may give rise to additional
remediation liabilities that may be material.

WE DEPEND UPON KEY PERSONNEL.

         We are highly dependent on the continuing efforts of our executive
officers, including Martin E. Franklin, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, and Ian G.H. Ashken, our Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, and
we likely will depend on the senior management of any significant business we
acquire in the future. Our business, results of operations and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected by the loss of any of these
persons and the inability to attract and retain qualified replacements.

WE ENTER INTO CONTRACTS WITH THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND OTHER GOVERNMENTS.


         We have entered into a contract with the United States government to
supply penny blanks to the United States Mint. We have also entered into a
contract with the Canadian government to supply penny blanks to the Royal
Canadian Mint. These contracts contain termination provisions customary for
government contracts. The United States government and Canadian government
retain the right to terminate these contracts at their convenience. These
contracts are also subject to reduction or modification in the event of changes
in government requirements or budgetary constraints.

         Our largest metals customer is the United States Mint, which comprised
approximately 8% of our 2001 consolidated net sales (approximately 6% on a pro
forma basis). The United States Mint announced in the fourth quarter of 2001
that it was implementing an inventory reduction program for all coinage. In
addition, several times in recent years, proposed legislation has been
introduced which, if passed, could reduce or eliminate the circulation of the
penny. If production, use or demand for the U.S. penny is reduced, it could have
a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.


OUR OPERATING RESULTS CAN BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN THE COST OR
AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS.

         Pricing and availability of raw materials for use in our businesses can
be volatile due to numerous factors beyond our control, including general,
domestic and international economic conditions, labor costs, production levels,
competition, import duties and tariffs and currency exchange rates. This
volatility can significantly affect the availability and cost of raw materials
for us, and may, therefore, have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.



                                       32



         During periods of rising prices of raw materials, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to pass any portion of such increases on to
customers. Conversely, when raw material prices decline, customer demands for
lower prices could result in lower sale prices and, to the extent we have
existing inventory, lower margins. As a result, fluctuations in raw material
prices could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

         Some of the products we manufacture require particular types of glass,
plastic, metal or other materials. Supply shortages for a particular type of
material can delay production or cause increases in the cost of manufacturing
our products. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BECAUSE OF RISKS WHICH ARE PARTICULAR
TO INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.


         On a pro forma basis, approximately 10.8% of Jarden's net sales in
2001 were derived from sales outside of the United States. In addition, we
anticipate that international sales will be a growth area for our consumer
products business. International sales (and the international operations of our
customers) are subject to inherent risks which could adversely affect us,
including, among other things:


         o  fluctuations in the value of currencies;

         o  unexpected changes in and the burdens and costs of compliance with a
            variety of foreign laws;

         o  political and economic instability;

         o  increases in duties and taxation; and

         o  reversal of the current policies (including favorable tax and
            lending policies) encouraging foreign investment or foreign trade by
            our host countries.

OUR PERFORMANCE CAN FLUCTUATE WITH THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE RETAIL
INDUSTRY.

         We sell our consumer products to retailers, including food, hardware,
catalog and mass merchants, in the United States and Canada. A significant
deterioration in the financial condition of our major customers could have a
material adverse effect on our sales and profitability. We continually monitor
and evaluate the credit status of our customers and attempt to adjust sales
terms as appropriate. Despite these efforts, a bankruptcy filing by a key
customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.

         In addition, as a result of the desire of retailers to more closely
manage inventory levels, there is a growing trend among retailers to make
purchases on a "just-in-time" basis. This requires us to shorten our lead time
for production in certain cases and more closely anticipate demand, which could
in the future require the carrying of additional inventories.

CLAIMS MADE AGAINST US BASED ON PRODUCT LIABILITY COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.

         As a producer and marketer of consumer products, we are subject to the
risk of claims for product liability. We maintain product liability insurance,
but there is a risk that our coverage will not be sufficient to insure against
all claims which may be brought against us, or that we will not be able to
maintain that coverage or obtain additional insurance covering existing or new
products. If a product liability claim exceeding our insurance coverage were to
be successfully asserted against us, it could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

WE DEPEND ON OUR PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

         Our success with our proprietary products depends, in part, on our
ability to protect our current and future technologies and products and to
defend our intellectual property rights. If we fail to adequately protect our
intellectual property rights, competitors may manufacture and market products
similar to ours. We cannot be sure that we will receive patents for any of our
patent applications or that any existing or future patents that we receive or
license will provide competitive advantages for our products. We also cannot be
sure that competitors will not challenge, invalidate or avoid the application of
any existing or future patents that we receive or license. In addition, patent
rights may not prevent our competitors from developing, using or selling
products that are similar or functionally equivalent to our products.
Furthermore, the patents we maintain on the bags used for vacuum sealing expire
in 2005 and the patents we maintain on our home vacuum packaging systems expire
in 2009.

WE DEPEND ON A SINGLE MANUFACTURING FACILITY FOR CERTAIN ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS.

         Certain of our products, including some using specially designed
machines and proprietary cutting technology, are manufactured at a sole
company-owned manufacturing facility. These facilities are subject to the normal
hazards that could result in material damage to such facilities. Damage to any
of these facilities, or prolonged interruption in the operations of any of these
facilities for repairs or other reasons, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations and financial condition.

CERTAIN OF OUR EMPLOYEES ARE REPRESENTED BY LABOR UNIONS.


         As of December 31, 2001, approximately 215 of our employees were
covered by collective bargaining agreements. These agreements expire at our
domestic consumables facility (Muncie, Indiana) on October 15, 2006 and at our
metals facility (Greeneville, Tennessee) on October 4, 2003. While we have not
experienced a work stoppage, slowdown or strike during the past five years and
management believes that its relationships with our collective bargaining units
are good, no assurance can be made that we will not experience a work stoppage,
slowdown or strike in the future. A work stoppage, slowdown or strike by our
employees, or the employees of our suppliers or customers, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

                           FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Certain statements we make in this prospectus, and other written or
oral statements by us or our authorized officers on our behalf, may constitute
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital
expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, our
competitive strengths and weaknesses, our business strategy and the trends we
anticipate in the industry and economies in which we operate and other
information that is not historical information. Words or phrases such as
"estimates," "expects," "anticipates," "projects," "plans," "intends,"
"believes" and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including,
without limitation, our examination of historical operating trends, are based
upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs
and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a
reasonable basis for them, but we cannot assure you that our expectations,
beliefs and projections will be realized.

         Before you invest in the new notes, you should be aware that the
occurrence of the events described in the immediately above section captioned
"Risk Factors" and otherwise discussed elsewhere in this prospectus or in
materials incorporated in this prospectus by reference to our other filings with
the Commission, could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial
condition and results of operation.

         The data included in this prospectus regarding markets and ranking,
including the size of certain markets and our position and the position of our
competitors within these markets, are based on independent industry
publications, reports of government agencies or other published industry sources
or our estimates based on management's knowledge and experience in the markets
in which we operate. Our estimates have been based on information provided by
customers, suppliers, trade and business organizations and other contacts in the
markets in which we operate. We believe these estimates to be accurate as of the
date of this prospectus. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate
because of the method by which we obtained some of the data for our estimates or
because this information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due
to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary
nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties
inherent in a survey of market size. As a result, you should be aware that
market, ranking and other similar data included in this prospectus, and
estimates and beliefs based on that data, may not be reliable.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         This exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the
registration rights agreement that we entered into relating to the old notes. We
will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. You will receive, in
exchange for old notes tendered by you in the exchange offer, new notes in like
principal amount. The old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will
be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of
the new notes will not result in any increase of our outstanding debt.

         We received approximately $143.5 million of net proceeds from the sale
of the old notes. The net proceeds from the offering of the old notes were used
principally to acquire the business of Tilia, to pay related fees and expenses,
and for cash on hand. Our old credit facility was partially repaid using
proceeds from the offering. The old credit facility was to mature on March 31,
2004 and the interest was based upon fixed increments over the adjusted LIBOR or
the agent bank's alternate borrowing rate as defined in the old credit
agreement. The resulting weighted average interest rate at the time of the
refinancing was less than 5%. See "Description of Senior Indebtedness" for a
description of our new credit facility.

                       RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

         Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the five years ended
December 31, 2001 are set forth below:

                         ==========================================================================================

* For the actual year ended December 31, 2001, the calculated ratio of earnings to fixed charges is less the one-to-
one and represents a deficiency of approximately $125.6 million.




         The ratios of earnings to fixed charges are calculated as follows:

                                 CAPITALIZATION

         The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and
capitalization, both on an actual basis and as adjusted to give effect to:

o             the November 2001 sales of our thermoformed plastics operations,
              comprised of the assets of our Triangle, TriEnda and Synergy World
              divisions, including the receipt in 2002 of $38 million of related
              tax refunds; and

o             the April 2002 acquisition of substantially all the assets of
              Tilia including the related refinancing of our senior credit
              facility and the offering of the old notes.

         This table should be read in conjunction with "Use of Proceeds,"
"Selected Consolidated Historical and Pro Forma Financial Data," "Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" and the consolidated
financial statements of Jarden, including the related notes, incorporated by

                 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA


         The following table sets forth Jarden's selected financial data as of
and for each of the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001.
The selected historical financial data set forth below has been derived from
Jarden's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the
respective fiscal years, incorporated by reference herein, and should be read in
conjunction with those financial statements and notes thereto. The selected
financial data as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are derived from
unaudited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002 incorporated
herein by reference. The results of Tilia are included from April 1, 2002. Pro
forma and interim financial information for the Tilia acquisition and related
financings can be found on page 112.


         On a stand alone basis, without the consolidation of its subsidiaries,
Jarden has no independent assets or operations. The guarantees by its
subsidiaries of the Notes are full and unconditional and joint and several. The
subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Notes are minor. There are no
significant restrictions on our or the guarantors' ability to obtain funds from
their respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

(b) In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
    Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business
    Combinations, and No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
    effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new
    rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will
    no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in
    accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be
    amortized over their useful lives. The Company applied the new rules on
    accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in first
    quarter of 2002 and has six months from the date of adoption to perform the
    first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived
    intangible assets. The Company has completed the first tests and, based on
    the results, was not required to record any changes related to the adoption
    of SFAS 142. The required transitional information is only presented for the
    years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001 and the six months ended June 30,
    2001.






(c) All earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to give effect to a
    2-for-1 split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock that was
    effected during the second quarter of 2002.

                               THE EXCHANGE OFFER


PURPOSE OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

         We issued the old notes on April 24, 2002, to Banc of America
Securities LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp., and NatCity Investments Inc., the
initial purchasers, pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated April 10, 2002,
among Jarden, the guarantors, and the initial purchasers. The initial purchasers
subsequently sold the old notes to "qualified institutional buyers", as defined
in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in reliance on Rule 144A, and outside the
United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. As a condition to the
sale of the old notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the
initial purchasers on April 24, 2002.

         Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we agreed that we would:

         o    file a registration statement with the Commission with respect to
              the new notes no later than 60 days after the date of initial
              issuance of the old notes;

         o    use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be
              declared effective by the Commission at the earliest possible time
              but in no event later than 180 days after the date of initial
              issuance of the old notes;

         o    use our best efforts to consummate the exchange offer at the
              earliest practicable day after the effective date of the
              registration statement of the new notes but in no event later than
              30 business days after the effective date of the registration
              statement;

         o    file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the new
              notes if we cannot effect an exchange offer and in certain other
              circumstances;

         o    use our best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement, if
              necessary, to be declared effective; and

         o    use our best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement
              continuously effective for a period of at least two years subject
              to certain provisions of the registration rights agreement.

         Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, we will offer the
new notes in exchange for the old notes.

RESALE OF THE NEW NOTES

         Based upon an interpretation by the staff of the Commission contained
in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that you may exchange
old notes for new notes in the ordinary course of business. For further
information on the Commission's position, see Exxon Capital Holdings
Corporation, available April 13, 1989, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
available June 5, 1991 and Shearman & Sterling, available July 2, 1993, and
other interpretive letters to similar effect. You will be allowed to resell new
notes to the public without further



                                       43



registration under the Securities Act and without delivering to purchasers of
the new notes a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the
Securities Act so long as you do not participate, do not intend to participate,
and have no arrangement with any person to participate, in a distribution of the
new notes. However, the foregoing does not apply to you if you are:

         o    a broker-dealer who purchases the new notes directly from us to
              resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption
              under the Securities Act; or

         o    an "affiliate" of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the
              Securities Act.

In addition, if:

         o    you are a broker-dealer; or

         o    you acquire new notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of
              distributing or participating in the distribution of the new
              notes,

you cannot rely on the position of the staff of the Commission contained in the
no-action letters mentioned above and must comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resale transaction, unless an exemption from registration is otherwise
available.

         Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in
exchange for old notes, which the broker-dealer acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it
will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes. The
letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. A broker-dealer may use
this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in
connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes which
the broker-dealer acquired as a result of market-making or other trading
activities.

TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

         Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this
prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all
outstanding old notes validly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration
date for an equal amount of new notes which are registered under the Securities
Act, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We will issue $1,000
principal amount of new notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of
outstanding old notes surrendered pursuant to the exchange offer. You may tender
old notes only in integral multiples of $1,000.

         The form and terms of the new notes are the same as the form and terms
of the old notes except that:

         o    we have registered the new notes under the Securities Act and,
              therefore, the new notes will not bear legends restricting their
              transfer; and



                                       44



         o    holders of the new notes will not be entitled to any special
              mandatory redemption provisions.

         The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes and will be
issued under the same indenture, so the new notes and the old notes will be
treated as a single class of debt securities under the indenture.

         As of the date of this prospectus, $150,000,000 in aggregate principal
amount of the old notes is outstanding. Only registered holders of the old
notes, or their legal representative or attorney-in-fact, as reflected on the
records of the trustee under the indenture, may participate in the exchange
offer. We will not set a fixed record date for determining registered holders of
the old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

         You do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under the indenture
in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer
in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement and the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission.

         We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered old notes when, as
and if we had given oral or written notice of acceptance to the exchange agent.
The exchange agent will act as your agent for the purposes of receiving the new
notes from us.

         If you tender old notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required
to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the
letter of transmittal. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than
applicable taxes, in connection with the exchange offer.

EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSIONS; AMENDMENTS


         The term "expiration date" will mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
November 27, 2002, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer,
in which case the term "expiration date" will mean the latest date and time to
which we extend the exchange offer. To extend the exchange offer, we will:


         o    notify the exchange agent of any extension orally or in writing;
              and

         o    notify the registered holders of the old notes by means of a press
              release or other public announcement, each before 9:00 a.m., New
              York City time, on the next business day after the previously
              scheduled expiration date.

         We reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion:

         o    to delay accepting any old notes until such time as the conditions
              listed under "-Conditions" are satisfied or waived;

         o    to extend the exchange offer;



                                       45



         o    if any conditions listed below under "-Conditions" are not
              satisfied, to terminate the exchange offer by giving oral or
              written notice to the exchange agent; or

         o    to waive any conditions in any respect, by giving oral or written
              notice to the exchange agent.

         If we terminate the exchange offer, we will return the old notes
deposited by the holder of the old notes in accordance with the procedures
described in this prospectus under "-Return of Notes."

         Any delay in acceptance, extension, or termination will be followed as
soon as practicable by a press release or other public announcement or
post-effective amendment.

         If the exchange offer is amended in a manner determined by us to
constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose that amendment by means
of a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment that will be distributed
to the holders. We will also extend the exchange offer for a period of five to
ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the
manner of disclosure to the holders, if the exchange offer would otherwise
expire during the five to ten business day period.

INTEREST ON THE NEW NOTES

         The new notes will each accrue interest on the same terms as the old
notes. Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 9 3/4% per annum and
will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, commencing on
November 1, 2002. Jarden will make each interest payment to the Holders of
record on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15. Old notes accepted
for exchange will not receive accrued interest thereon at the time of exchange.
However, each new note will bear interest from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid on the old notes, or if no interest has been paid on the
old notes or the new notes, from April 24, 2002.

PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING

         You may tender old notes in the exchange offer only if you are a
registered holder of old notes. To tender in the exchange offer, you must:

         o    complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal or a facsimile
              of the letter of transmittal;

         o    have the signatures guaranteed if required by the letter of
              transmittal; and

         o    mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or the
              facsimile of the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent at
              the address listed below under "-Exchange Agent" for receipt
              before the expiration date.

In addition, either:



                                       46



         o    the exchange agent must receive certificates for the old notes
              along with the letter of transmittal into its account at the
              depositary pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer
              described below before the expiration date;

         o    the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of a
              book-entry transfer of the old notes, if the procedure is
              available, into its account at the depositary pursuant to the
              procedure for book-entry transfer described below before the
              expiration date; or

         o    you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described
              below.

         Your tender, if not withdrawn before the expiration date, will
constitute an agreement between you and us in accordance with the terms and
subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of
transmittal.

         The method of delivery of old notes and the letter of transmittal and
all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk.
We recommend that instead of delivery by mail, you use an overnight or hand
delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, you should allow sufficient
time to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. You
should not send letters of transmittal or old notes to us. You may request your
respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to
effect the transactions described above for you.

         If you are a beneficial owner of old notes whose old notes are
registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or
other nominee and you wish to tender your old notes, you should contact the
registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on your
behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, before completing and
executing the letter of transmittal and delivering the old notes you must
either:

         o    make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old
              notes in your name; or

         o    obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder.

         The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time. Unless
the old notes are tendered:

         o    by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled
              "Special Issuance Instructions" or the box entitled "Special
              Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or

         o    for the account of:

              o    a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or
                   of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.;

              o    a commercial bank or trust company located or having an
                   office or correspondent in the United States; or



                                       47



              o    an "eligible guarantor institution" within the meaning of
                   Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act that is a member of one
                   of the recognized signature guarantee programs identified in
                   the letter of transmittal,

an eligible guarantor institution must guarantee the signatures on a letter of
transmittal or a notice of withdrawal described below under "-Withdrawal of
Tenders".

         If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the
registered holder, the old notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly
completed bond power, signed by the registered holder as the registered holder's
name appears on the old notes.

         If the letter of transmittal or any old notes or bond powers are signed
by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers
of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, they
should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by us, they must submit
evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act with the letter of
transmittal.

         The exchange agent and the depositary have confirmed that any financial
institution that is a participant in the depositary's system may utilize the
depositary's Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") to tender notes. Holders of
old notes utilizing the ATOP system must transmit to the exchange agent, on or
before the expiration date, a computer-generated message through the ATOP system
that is received by the exchange agent and which forms a part of a confirmation
of book-entry transfer in which you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the
terms of the letter of transmittal.

         We will determine in our sole discretion all questions as to the
validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance and
withdrawal of tendered old notes, which determination will be final and binding.
We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all old notes not properly
tendered or any old notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our
counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects,
irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular old notes. Our
interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the
instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all
parties. Unless waived, you must cure any defects or irregularities in
connection with tenders of old notes within the time we determine. Although we
intend to notify you of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old
notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any
liability for failure to give you that notification. Unless waived, we will not
deem tenders of old notes to have been made until you cure the defects or
irregularities.

         While we have no present plan to acquire any old notes that are not
tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit
resales of any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer, we reserve
the right in our sole discretion to purchase or make offers for any old notes
that remain outstanding after the expiration date. We also reserve the right to
terminate the exchange offer, as described below under "-Conditions", and, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase old notes in the open market,
in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any of those
purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.



                                       48



         If you wish to tender old notes in exchange for new notes in the
exchange offer, we will require you to represent that:

         o    you are not an affiliate of ours;

         o    you are not a broker-dealer tendering old notes acquired for your
              own account directly from us;

         o    you will acquire any new notes in the ordinary course of your
              business; and

         o    you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, and have
              no arrangement or understanding to participate in, a distribution
              of the new notes to be issued in the exchange offer.

         In addition, in connection with the resale of new notes, any
participating broker-dealer who acquired the old notes for its own account as a
result of market-making or other trading activities must deliver a prospectus
meeting the requirements of the Securities Act. The Commission has taken the
position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery
requirements with respect to the new notes, other than a resale of an unsold
allotment from the original sale of the Notes, with the prospectus contained in
the registration statement.

RETURN OF NOTES

         If we do not accept any tendered old notes for any reason described in
the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if you withdraw any tendered
old notes or submit old notes for a greater principal amount than you desire to
exchange, we will return the unaccepted, withdrawn or non-exchanged old notes
without expense to you as promptly as practicable after the expiration or
termination of the exchange offer. In the case of old notes tendered by
book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at the depositary pursuant
to the book-entry transfer procedures described below, we will credit the old
notes to an account maintained with the depositary as promptly as practicable.

BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER

         The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with
respect to the old notes at the depositary for purposes of the exchange offer
within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and any financial
institution that is a participant in the depositary's systems may make
book-entry delivery of old notes by causing the depositary to transfer the old
notes into the exchange agent's account at the depositary in accordance with the
depositary's procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of old notes
may be effected through book-entry transfer at the depositary, you must transmit
and the exchange agent must receive, the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of
the letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees and any other
required documents, at the address below under "-Exchange Agent" on or before
the expiration date or pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described
below.

GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES



                                       49



         If you wish to tender your old notes, but time will not permit a letter
of transmittal, certificates representing the old notes to be tendered or other
required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration date, or if
the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on or before the
expiration date, you may effect a tender if:

         o    the tender is made by or through an eligible guarantor
              institution;

         o    before the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from the
              eligible guarantor institution a properly completed and duly
              executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form
              provided by us, that:

              o    states the name and address of the holder of the old notes,
                   the name(s) in which the old notes are registered and the
                   principal amount of old notes tendered,

              o    states that the tender is being made by that notice of
                   guaranteed delivery, and

              o    guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading
                   days after the expiration date, the eligible guarantor
                   institution will deposit with the exchange agent the letter
                   of transmittal, together with the certificates representing
                   the old notes in proper form for transfer or a confirmation
                   of a book-entry transfer, as the case may be, and any other
                   documents required by the letter of transmittal; and

         o    within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the
              expiration date, the exchange agent receives a properly executed
              letter of transmittal, as well as the certificates representing
              all tendered old notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry
              confirmation, as the case may be, and all other documents required
              by the letter of transmittal.

         Upon request, the exchange agent will send to you a notice of
guaranteed delivery if you wish to tender your old notes according to the
guaranteed delivery procedures described above.

WITHDRAWAL OF TENDERS

         Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw
tenders of old notes at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
expiration date.

         To withdraw a tender of old notes in the exchange offer, the exchange
agent must receive a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal at
its address listed in this prospectus before the expiration date. Any notice of
withdrawal must:

         o    specify the name of the person who deposited the old notes to be
              withdrawn;

         o    identify the old notes to be withdrawn, including the principal
              amount of the old notes; and

         o    be signed in the same manner as the original signature on the
              letter of transmittal by which the old notes were tendered,
              including any required signature guarantees.



                                       50




         We will determine in our sole discretion all questions as to the
validity, form and eligibility of the notices, and our determination will be
final and binding on all parties. We will not deem any properly withdrawn old
notes to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer, and we
will not issue new notes with respect to those old notes, unless you validly
re-tender the withdrawn old notes. You may re-tender properly withdrawn old
notes by following one of the procedures described above under "-Procedures for
Tendering" at any time before the expiration date.

CONDITIONS

         Notwithstanding any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be
required to accept for exchange, or exchange the new notes for, any old notes,
and may terminate the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the
acceptance of the old notes, if:

         o    the exchange offer violates applicable law, rules or regulations
              or an applicable interpretation of the staff of the Commission;

         o    an action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any
              court or by any governmental agency which might materially impair
              our ability to proceed with the exchange offer (the term
              "threatened" means a written demand or statement has been made, or
              a written notice has been given, that would lead a prudent person
              to conclude that such an action or proceeding is likely to be
              asserted, commenced, taken, or otherwise pursued in the future);
              or

         o    all governmental approvals which we deem necessary for the
              completion of the exchange offer have not been obtained.

         If we determine in our reasonable discretion that any of these
conditions are not satisfied, we may:

         o    refuse to accept any old notes and return all tendered old notes
              to you;

         o    extend the exchange offer and retain all old notes tendered before
              the exchange offer expires, subject, however, to your rights to
              withdraw the old notes; or

         o    waive the unsatisfied conditions with respect to the exchange
              offer and accept all properly tendered old notes that have not
              been withdrawn.

         If the waiver constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we
will promptly disclose the waiver by means of a prospectus supplement that we
will distribute to the registered holders of the old notes.

SHELF REGISTRATION

         Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, in the event that:



                                       51



         o    we are not required to file a registration statement or permitted
              to consummate the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not
              permitted by applicable law or Commission policy; or

         o    a holder of old notes (as defined in the registration rights
              agreement) so requests under certain circumstances,


we will file with the Commission a shelf registration statement to register for
public resale the old notes held by you if you provide us with the necessary
information for inclusion in the shelf registration statement.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

         Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, if:

         o    we do not file the registration statement with the Commission on
              or prior to the 60th day following the issuance of the old notes;

         o    we do not cause the registration statement to become effective on
              or prior to the 180th day following the date of initial issuance
              of the old notes;

         o    we do not complete the exchange offer on or prior to the 30th
              business day after the effective date of the registration
              statement for the new notes;

         o    we are obligated to file a shelf registration statement and we do
              not file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on
              or prior to the 60th day following the date on which we have
              notice of the filing obligation;

         o    we are obligated to file a shelf registration statement and the
              Commission does not declare the shelf registration statement
              effective on or prior to the 120th day following the deadline for
              filing the shelf registration statement; or

         o    the registration statement or the shelf registration statement, as
              the case may be, is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be
              effective or useable for its intended purpose without being
              succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such
              registration statement that cures such failure and is declared
              effective,

with each of the items above constituting a "registration default", we agreed to
pay liquidated damages to the holders, with respect to the first 90-day period
immediately following the occurrence of the first registration default in an
amount equal to $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of notes held by such
holder. The amount of the liquidated damages will increase by an additional $.05
per week per $1,000 principal amount of notes with respect to each subsequent
90-day period until all registration defaults have been cured, up to a maximum
amount of liquidated damages for all registration defaults of $.50 per week per
$1,000 principal amount of old notes. Following the cure of all registration
defaults, the accrual of liquidated damages will cease.

         The foregoing description of the exchange offer contained a summary of
certain provisions of the registration rights agreement, which is incorporated
herein by reference. It does not restate that agreement in its entirety. We urge
you to read the registration rights agreement in its entirety because it, and
not this description, defines your registration rights as holders of the notes.



                                       54



                          DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES

         The form and terms of the new notes and the old notes are identical in
all material respects, except that the special mandatory redemption provisions
and the transfer restrictions applicable to the old notes do not apply to the
new notes.

         The old notes were, and the new notes will be, issued under an
indenture dated as of April 24, 2002 between Jarden Corporation, the guarantors,
and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The terms of the new notes include those
stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

         The following description is a summary of the material provisions of
the indenture. It does not restate the agreement in its entirety. We urge you to
read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as
holders of the notes. Copies of the indenture are available as set forth below
under "Where You Can Find More Information." You can find the definitions of
certain terms used in this description under the subheading "--Certain
Definitions." Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined
below under "--Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the
indenture. In this description, the word "Jarden" refers only to Jarden
Corporation and not to any of its subsidiaries.

         The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for
all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the indenture.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES

The New Notes

         The new notes:

         o    will be general unsecured obligations of Jarden;

         o    will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and
              future Senior Debt of Jarden;

         o    will be pari passu in right of payment with any future senior
              subordinated indebtedness of Jarden issued under the indenture;
              and

         o    will be unconditionally guaranteed in full by the Guarantors on a
              joint and several basis. See "Risk Factors - Federal and state
              statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void
              guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received
              from guarantors" and "Description of the New Notes - Subsidiary
              Guarantees."

The Guarantees

         The new notes will be unconditionally guaranteed in full by all of
Jarden's domestic subsidiaries on a joint and several basis. See "Risk Factors -
Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void
guarantees and require noteholders to return



                                       55



payments received from guarantors" and "Description of the New Notes -
Subsidiary Guarantees."

         Each guarantee of the new notes:

         o    will be a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor;

         o    will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and
              future Senior Debt of the Guarantor issued under the indenture;
              and

         o    will be pari passu in right of payment with any future senior
              subordinated indebtedness of the Guarantor.

         As indicated above and as discussed in detail below under the caption
"--Subordination," payments on the new notes and under the guarantees of the
notes will be subordinated to the payment of Senior Debt. The indenture will
permit us and the Guarantors to incur additional Senior Debt.

         As of the date of the indenture, all of our subsidiaries will be
"Restricted Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below
under the subheading "--Certain Covenants--Designation of Restricted and
Unrestricted Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain of our
subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will
not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture and will
not guarantee the notes.

PRINCIPAL, MATURITY AND INTEREST

         Jarden will issue in this offering new notes in an aggregate principal
amount of approximately $150.0 million. All notes issued under the indenture
will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture,
including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to
purchase. Jarden will issue notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The notes will mature on May 1, 2012.

         Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 9 3/4% per annum and
will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, commencing on
November 1, 2002. Jarden will make each interest payment to the Holders of
record on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15. Interest on the new
notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already
been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

METHODS OF RECEIVING PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES

         If a Holder of $1.0 million or more of notes has given wire transfer
instructions to Jarden, Jarden will pay all principal, interest and premium and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on that Holder's notes in accordance with those
instructions. All other payments on notes will be made at the office or agency
of the paying agent and registrar unless Jarden elects to make interest payments
by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of
Holders.

PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR FOR THE NOTES



                                       56



         The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. Jarden
may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of
the notes, and Jarden or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or
registrar.

TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

         A Holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the
indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection
with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on
transfer. Jarden is not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for
redemption. Also, Jarden is not required to transfer or exchange any note for a
period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

         The notes will be unconditionally guaranteed in full by each of
Jarden's current and future Domestic Subsidiaries. These Subsidiary Guarantees
will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. Each Subsidiary
Guarantee will be subordinated to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt
of that Guarantor. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary
Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from
constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk
Factors--Federal and State statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances,
to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from
guarantors."

         A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not
such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than Jarden or
another Guarantor, unless:

         o    immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or
              Event of Default exists; and

         o    either:

              o    the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or
                   disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such
                   consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that
                   Guarantor under the indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee and
                   the registration rights agreement pursuant to a supplemental
                   indenture satisfactory to the trustee; or

              o    the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are
                   applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
                   indenture.

         The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

         o    in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or
              substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by
              way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either
              before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of
              Jarden, if



                                       57



              the sale or other disposition complies with the "Asset Sale"
              provisions of the indenture;

         o    in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a
              Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving
              effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of Jarden, if the sale
              complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture; or

         o    if Jarden designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor
              as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable
              provisions of the indenture.

         See "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Asset Sales" and "--Certain
    Covenants-- Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries."

SUBORDINATION

         The payment of principal, interest and premium and Liquidated Damages,
if any, on the notes will be subordinated to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Debt of Jarden, including Senior Debt incurred after the date of the
indenture.

         In the event of any distribution to creditors of Jarden:

         o    in a liquidation or dissolution of Jarden;

         o    in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or
              similar proceeding relating to Jarden or its property;

         o    in an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

         o    in any marshaling of Jarden's assets and liabilities;

the holders of Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full of all
Obligations due in respect of Senior Debt (including interest after the
commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the
applicable Senior Debt) before the Holders of notes will be entitled to receive
any payment with respect to the notes (except that Holders of notes may receive
and retain Permitted Junior Securities and payments made from the trust
described under "--Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance").

         Jarden also may not make any payment in respect of the notes (except in
Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described under "--Legal
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance") if:

         o    a payment default on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is
              continuing beyond any applicable grace period; or

         o    any other default occurs and is continuing on any series of
              Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of that series of
              Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the trustee
              and Jarden receive a notice of such default (a "Payment Blockage
              Notice") from the holders of any Designated Senior Debt (or their
              representative).



                                       58



         Payments on the notes may and will be resumed:

         o    in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such
              default is cured or waived; and

         o    in the case of a nonpayment default, upon the earlier of the date
              on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or 179 days
              after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is
              received, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has
              been accelerated.

         No new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered unless and until:

         o    360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior
              Payment Blockage Notice; and

         o    all scheduled payments of principal, interest and premium and
              Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes that have come due have
              been paid in full in cash.

         No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of
delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the trustee will be, or be made, the
basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.

         If the trustee or any Holder of the notes receives a payment in respect
of the notes (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described
under "--Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance") when:

         o    the payment is prohibited by these subordination provisions; and

         o    the trustee or the Holder has actual knowledge that the payment is
              prohibited

the trustee or the Holder, as the case may be, will hold the payment in trust
for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. Upon the proper written request
of the holders of Senior Debt, the trustee or the Holder, as the case may be,
will deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of Senior Debt or their proper
representative.

         Jarden must promptly notify holders of Senior Debt (or their
representatives) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

         As a result of the subordination provisions described above, in the
event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of Jarden, Holders of notes
may recover less ratably than creditors of Jarden who are holders of Senior
Debt. See "Risk Factors-- Your right to receive payments on the notes is junior
to our existing senior indebtedness and possibly all of our future borrowings.
Further, the guarantees of the new notes are junior to all of the guarantors'
existing senior indebtedness and possibly to all their future borrowings."

         The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will
be subordinated to the Senior Debt of that Guarantor on the same terms described
above.



                                       59



OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

         At any time prior to May 1, 2005, Jarden may on any one or more
occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued
under the indenture at a redemption price of 109.750% of the principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity
Offerings; provided that:

         o    at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued
              under the indenture remains outstanding immediately after the
              occurrence of such redemption (excluding notes held by Jarden and
              its Subsidiaries); and

         o    the redemption occurs within 45 days of the date of the closing of
              such Public Equity Offering.

         Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the notes will not be
redeemable at Jarden's option prior to May 1, 2007.

         After May 1, 2007, Jarden may redeem all or a part of the notes 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, on the notes redeemed, to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning
on May 1 of the years indicated below:

           YEAR                                               PERCENTAGE
           ----                                               ----------
           2007..........................................      104.875%
           2008..........................................      103.250%
           2009..........................................      101.625%
           2010 and thereafter...........................      100.000%

MANDATORY REDEMPTION

Jarden is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments
with respect to the new notes.

REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

Change of Control

         If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of notes will have the right
to require Jarden to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer
on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, Jarden
will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes repurchased, to the date of purchase.
Within ten days following any Change of Control, Jarden will mail a notice to
each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the
Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes



                                       60



on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will
be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice
is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in
such notice. Jarden will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the
repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that
the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of
Control provisions of the indenture, Jarden will comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its
obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of
such conflict.

         On the Change of Control Payment Date, Jarden will, to the extent
lawful:

         o    accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly
              tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

         o    deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of
              Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes
              properly tendered; and

         o    deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly
              accepted together with an officers' certificate stating the
              aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being
              purchased by Jarden.

         The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of notes properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to
each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new note will be in a
principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

         If a Change of Control Offer is made, there can be no assurance that
Jarden will have available funds sufficient to pay the purchase price for all of
the notes that might be tendered by Holders seeking to accept the Change of
Control Offer. The failure of Jarden to make or consummate the Change of Control
Offer or pay the applicable Change of Control purchase price when due would
result in an Event of Default and would give the trustee and the Holders the
rights described under "--Events of Default and Remedies."

         Jarden's new credit agreement will provide that certain change of
control events with respect to Jarden will constitute a default thereunder and
will prohibit Jarden from consummating a Change of Control Offer. Any future
credit agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Debt to which Jarden
becomes a party may contain similar provisions. If a Change of Control occurs,
Jarden could seek a waiver of any resulting default and, if required, the
consent of its lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance
the borrowings that contains such prohibition. If Jarden is not successful in
obtaining a waiver of any change of control default and the consent of the
lenders or in refinancing such borrowings, such Senior Debt will be in default,
and Jarden will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In such case, Jarden's
failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under
the indenture, which would, in turn, also constitute a default under the new
credit agreement. In such circumstances, the subordination provisions in the
indenture would likely restrict payments to the



                                       61



Holders.

         Prior to mailing the notice referred to above, but in any event within
70 days following a Change of Control, Jarden will either repay all outstanding
Senior Debt or obtain the requisite waivers and consents, if any, under all
agreements governing outstanding Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of notes
required by this covenant. Jarden will publicly announce the results of the
Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control
Payment Date.

         The provisions described above that require Jarden to make a Change of
Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not
any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above
with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions
that permit the Holders of the notes to require that Jarden repurchase or redeem
the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

         Jarden will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a
Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth
in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by Jarden and
purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of
Control Offer.

         The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the
direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of
"all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of Jarden and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law
interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established
definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a
Holder of notes to require Jarden to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale,
lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets
of Jarden and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may
be uncertain.

Asset Sales

         Jarden will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

         o    Jarden or the Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the
              time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of
              the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise
              disposed of;

         o    the fair market value is determined by Jarden's Board of Directors
              and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth
              in an officers' certificate delivered to the trustee; and

         o    at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by
              Jarden or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For
              purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed
              to be cash:

              o    any liabilities, as shown on Jarden's most recent
                   consolidated balance sheet, of



                                       62



                   Jarden or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent
                   liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms
                   subordinated to the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that
                   are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to
                   a customary novation agreement that releases Jarden or such
                   Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

              o    any securities, notes or other obligations received by Jarden
                   or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that
                   within 30 days are converted by Jarden or such Restricted
                   Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in
                   that conversion; and

              o    long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted
                   Business.

         Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset
Sale, Jarden may apply those Net Proceeds at its option:

         o    to repay Senior Debt and, if the Senior Debt repaid is revolving
              credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with
              respect thereto to the extent required by such revolving credit
              Indebtedness;

         o    to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a
              majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business;

         o    to make a capital expenditure; or

         o    to acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a
              Permitted Business.

         Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, Jarden may
temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.

         Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as
provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within 30
days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, Jarden
will make an Asset Sale 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 to purchase the maximum principal amount of
notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the
Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100%
of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if
any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, Jarden may use those
Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If
the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness
tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
trustee will select the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be
purchased on a pro rata basis based upon the aggregate principal amount of each
that was properly tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount
of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

         Jarden's new credit agreement will require the consent of the lenders
to most asset sales



                                       63



and will prohibit the retirement of the notes and other indebtedness that ranks
junior to such Senior Debt. Any future credit agreements or other agreements
relating to Senior Debt to which Jarden becomes a party may contain similar
provisions or may require prepayment of such Senior Debt with all or a portion
of the proceeds of such asset sales. In such case, it is likely that Jarden
would apply the net proceeds to retire Senior Debt or, to the extent permitted
under such agreements, acquire assets for use in a Permitted Business.

         Jarden will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each
repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale
provisions of the indenture, Jarden will comply with the applicable securities
laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.

SELECTION AND NOTICE

         If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the
trustee will select notes for redemption as follows:

         o    if the notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in
              compliance with the requirements of the principal national
              securities exchange on which the notes are listed; or

         o    if the notes are not listed on any national securities exchange,
              on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the trustee deems
              fair and appropriate.

         In the event of a redemption pursuant to the provisions described above
under "--Optional Redemption," notices of redemption will be mailed by first
class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to
each Holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that
redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if
the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a
satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Notices of redemption may not be
conditional.

         If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption
that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that
note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the Holder
of notes upon cancellation of the original note. No notes can be redeemed in
part if less than $1,000 would remain outstanding.

         Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for
redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes
or portions of them called for redemption.

CERTAIN COVENANTS

Restricted Payments

         Jarden will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, directly or



                                       64



indirectly:

         (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or
         distribution on account of Jarden's or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries' Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any
         payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Jarden
         or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect
         holders of Jarden's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity
         Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or
         distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified
         Stock) of Jarden or to Jarden or a Restricted Subsidiary of Jarden);

         (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value
         (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or
         consolidation involving Jarden) any Equity Interests of Jarden;

         (3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem,
         defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that
         is subordinated to the notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, except a
         payment of interest (including any amount comparable to Liquidated
         Damages) or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof; or

         (4) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions
         set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively
         referred to as "Restricted Payments"),

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

         (1)   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
         would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment; and

         (2) Jarden would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after
         giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been
         made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been
         permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant
         to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first
         paragraph of the covenant described below under the caption
         "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock"; and

         (3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all
         other Restricted Payments made by Jarden and its Restricted
         Subsidiaries after the date of the indenture (excluding Restricted
         Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) of the next
         succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

         (a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Jarden for the period (taken
         as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal
         quarter commencing after the date of the indenture to the end of
         Jarden's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal
         financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted
         Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a
         deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus

         (b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Jarden since
         the date of the



                                       65



         indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the
         issue or sale of Equity Interests of Jarden (other than Disqualified
         Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable
         Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of
         Jarden that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity
         Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt
         securities) sold to a Subsidiary of Jarden), plus

         (c) with respect to Restricted Investments made by Jarden and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of the indenture, an amount
         equal to the net reduction in such Restricted Investments resulting
         from payments of interest on Indebtedness, dividends, repayments of
         loans or advances or other transfers of assets, in each case to Jarden
         or any such Restricted Subsidiary from any such Investment, or from the
         net cash proceeds from the sale of any such Investment, or from a
         redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to a Restricted Subsidiary,
         but only if and to the extent such amounts are not included in the
         calculation of Consolidated Net Income and not to exceed the amount of
         the Restricted Investment previously made by Jarden or any Restricted
         Subsidiary in such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that any
         amounts in excess of the amount of the Restricted Investment previously
         made may be included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income
         otherwise available under clause (a), plus;

         (d)   $5.0 million.

         So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused
thereby, the preceding provisions will not prohibit:

         (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of
    declaration of the dividend, if at the date of declaration the dividend
    payment would have complied with the provisions of the indenture;

         (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other
    acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness of Jarden or any Guarantor or
    of any Equity Interests of Jarden in exchange for, or out of the net cash
    proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted
    Subsidiary of Jarden) of, Equity Interests of Jarden (other than
    Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds
    that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement,
    defeasance or other acquisition will be excluded from clause (3)(b) of the
    preceding paragraph;

         (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of
    subordinated Indebtedness of Jarden or any Guarantor in exchange for, or out
    of the net cash proceeds received from, the substantially concurrent sale of
    Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

         (4) the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary of Jarden to
    the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis and the redemption,
    purchase, cancellation or other retirement of Equity Interests in a
    Restricted Subsidiary held by any Person other than Jarden or a Subsidiary
    of Jarden;

         (5) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for
    value of any Equity Interests of Jarden or any Restricted Subsidiary of
    Jarden held by any member of Jarden's (or



                                       66



    any of its Restricted Subsidiaries') management pursuant to any management
    equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement or similar agreement;
    provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed,
    acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $1.0 million in any
    twelve-month period and $5.0 million in the aggregate; and

         (6) prepayments on the subordinated seller note due 2004 in accordance
    with its terms as in effect on the date of the indenture.

         The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the
fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or
securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Jarden or such Subsidiary, as
the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of
any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be
determined by the Board of Directors whose resolution with respect thereto will
be delivered to the trustee. The Board of Directors' determination must be based
upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment
banking firm of national standing if the fair market value exceeds $1.0 million.
Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, Jarden will deliver to
the trustee an officers' certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is
permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by
this "Restricted Payments" covenant were computed, together with a copy of any
fairness opinion or appraisal required by the indenture.

Incurrence Of Indebtedness And Issuance Of Preferred Stock

         Jarden will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to
(collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and Jarden
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of
preferred stock; provided, however, that Jarden may incur Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt), and Jarden's Restricted Subsidiaries may incur
Indebtedness or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for
Jarden's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such
additional Indebtedness is incurred or such preferred stock is issued would have
been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma
application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness
had been incurred or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at
the beginning of such four-quarter period.

         The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence
of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

         (1) the incurrence by Jarden and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    Indebtedness and letters of credit under the New Senior Credit Facility in
    an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause
    (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to
    the maximum potential liability of Jarden and its Restricted Subsidiaries
    thereunder) not to exceed $100.0 million less the aggregate amount of all
    commitment reductions with respect to any revolving credit borrowings that
    have been made by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the
    date of the indenture;



                                       67



         (2) the incurrence by Jarden and its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    Existing Indebtedness;

         (3) the incurrence by Jarden and the Guarantors of Indebtedness
    represented by the notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued
    on the date of the indenture and the exchange notes and the related
    Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the registration rights
    agreement;

         (4) the incurrence by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    Indebtedness of Tilia assumed as part of the Acquisition; provided that such
    Indebtedness was not incurred in connection with or in contemplation of the
    Acquisition;

         (5) the incurrence by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    Indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million pursuant to promissory
    notes issued to the shareholders of Tilia in payment of a portion of the
    consideration for the Acquisition; provided that such Indebtedness is
    subordinated to the notes to at least the same extent as the notes are
    subordinated to Senior Debt;

         (6) the incurrence by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings
    or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of
    financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or
    improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of Jarden
    or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount, including
    all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or
    replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (6), not to exceed
    $10.0 million at any time outstanding;

         (7) the incurrence by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of
    which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than
    intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the indenture to be
    incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3),
    (4), (5), (6), (7) or (12) of this paragraph;

         (8) the incurrence by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    intercompany Indebtedness between or among Jarden and any of its
    Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

              (a) if Jarden or any Guarantor is the obligor on such
         Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the
         prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the
         notes, in the case of Jarden, or the Subsidiary Guarantee, in the case
         of a Guarantor; and

              (b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests
         that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than
         Jarden or a Restricted Subsidiary of Jarden and (ii) any sale or other
         transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either Jarden
         or a Restricted Subsidiary of Jarden; will be deemed, in each case, to
         constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Jarden or such
         Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by
         this clause (8);

         (9) the incurrence by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    Hedging Obligations



                                       68



    that are incurred for the purpose of fixing, swapping or hedging interest
    rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of
    the indenture to be outstanding;

         (10) the guarantee by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    Indebtedness of Jarden or a Restricted Subsidiary of Jarden that was
    permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant;

         (11) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original
    issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of
    additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on
    Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of
    Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or
    an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided,
    in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of
    Jarden as accrued; and

         (12) the incurrence by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
    additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value,
    as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing
    Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness
    incurred pursuant to this clause (12), not to exceed $25.0 million.

         For purposes of determining compliance with this "Incurrence of
    Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock" covenant, in the event that an
    item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
    categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (12) above, or
    is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant,
    Jarden will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date
    of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of
    Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. Indebtedness
    under the New Senior Credit Facility outstanding on the date on which notes
    are first issued and authenticated under the indenture will be deemed to
    have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by
    clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt.

No Layering of Debt

         Jarden will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise
become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of
payment to any Senior Debt of Jarden and senior in any respect in right of
payment to the notes. No Guarantor will incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in
right of payment to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor and senior in any respect
in right of payment to such Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee.

Liens

         Jarden will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of
any kind securing Indebtedness for money borrowed on any asset now owned or
hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries

         Jarden will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, directly or



                                       69



indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual
encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

         (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock
    to Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any
    other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any
    indebtedness owed to Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

         (2) make loans or advances to Jarden or any of its Restricted
    Subsidiaries; or

         (3) transfer any of its properties or assets to Jarden or any of its
    Restricted Subsidiaries.

         However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or
restrictions existing under or by reason of:

         (1) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and the New Senior
    Credit Facility as in effect on the date of the indenture and any
    amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements,
    refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that
    the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases,
    supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are no more
    restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other
    payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of
    the indenture;

         (2)   the indenture, the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;

         (3)   applicable law;

         (4) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person
    acquired by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the
    time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital
    Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such
    acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any
    Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or
    the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the
    case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the
    indenture to be incurred;

         (5) customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses and other
    agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent
    with past practices;

         (6) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary
    course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature
    described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;

         (7) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted
    Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary
    pending its sale or other disposition;

         (8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions
    contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing
    Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained
    in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being



                                       70



    refinanced;

         (9) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred
    under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption
    "--Liens" that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets
    subject to such liens;

         (10) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of
    assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock
    sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary
    course of business; and

         (11) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by
    customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

         Jarden may not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with
or into another Person (whether or not Jarden is the surviving corporation); or
(2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of the properties or assets of Jarden and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole,
in one or more related transactions, to another Person; unless:

         (1) either: (a) Jarden is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person
    formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than
    Jarden) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
    disposition has been made is a corporation organized or existing under the
    laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of
    Columbia;

         (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
    (if other than Jarden) or the Person to which such sale, assignment,
    transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the
    obligations of Jarden under the notes, the indenture and the registration
    rights agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the
    trustee;

         (3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default
    exists; and

         (4) Jarden or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation
    or merger (if other than Jarden), or to which such sale, assignment,
    transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made will, on the date of
    such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related
    financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the
    applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of
    additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set
    forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the
    caption "--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock."

         In addition, Jarden may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or
substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related
transactions, to any other Person. This "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of
Assets" covenant will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition of assets between or among Jarden and any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries that are Guarantors.



                                       71



Transactions With Affiliates

         Jarden will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of
its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter
into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan,
advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an
"Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

         (1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to
    Jarden or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been
    obtained in a comparable transaction by Jarden or such Restricted Subsidiary
    with an unrelated Person; and

         (2)   Jarden delivers to the trustee:

         (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
         Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
         $1.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an
         officers' certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction
         complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has
         been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board
         of Directors; and

         (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related
         Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of
         $10.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to Jarden of such
         Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an
         accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

         The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions
and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

         (1) any employment or consulting agreement entered into by Jarden or
    any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and
    consistent with the past practice of Jarden or such Restricted Subsidiary;

         (2) transactions between or among Jarden and/or its Restricted
    Subsidiaries;

         (3) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of Jarden solely
    because Jarden owns an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

         (4) payment of reasonable fees and compensation to, and indemnity
    provided on behalf of, directors and officers of Jarden;

         (5) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to
    Affiliates of Jarden;

         (6) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of the
    indenture described above under the caption "--Restricted Payments";

         (7) transfers of accounts receivable and related assets to a
    Receivables Subsidiary in connection with a Qualified Receivables
    Transaction and the charging of fees and expenses in



                                       72



    the ordinary course of business in connection with such transfers; and

         (8) Permitted Investments.

Business Activities

         Jarden will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, engage in any business activities other than in a Permitted Business.

Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

         If Jarden or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates a Domestic
Subsidiary after the date of the indenture, then that newly acquired or created
Domestic Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a Subsidiary Guarantee
and deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the trustee within 30 days of
the date on which it was acquired or created.

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

         The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a
Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate
fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by Jarden and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary to be designated will be deemed to be
an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount
available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of the covenant
described above under the caption "--Restricted Payments" or Permitted
Investments, as determined by Jarden. That designation will only be permitted if
the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary
otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Upon its
designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will cease to be a Guarantor and
its Subsidiary Guarantee will be released.

         The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to
be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default. If an
Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary, an amount
equal to the lesser of the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding
Investments owned by Jarden and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary to
be redesignated and the amount of all such Investments will be deemed to be
recovered in cash as of the time of the redesignation and will increase the
amounts available for (1) Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of the
covenant described above under the caption "--Restricted Payments" and (2)
Permitted Investments in proportion to the amount of Jarden's and its Restricted
Subsidiaries' Investments in such Subsidiary that were Restricted Payments and
Permitted Investments. Upon any such redesignation or other designation as a
Restricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a
Subsidiary Guarantee.

Payments For Consent

         Jarden will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for
the benefit of any Holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent,
waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions



                                       73



of the indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid
and is paid to all Holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

Reports

         Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any notes are
outstanding, Jarden will furnish to the Holders of notes, within the time
periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations (together with any
extensions granted by the Commission):

         (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be
    required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and
    10-K if Jarden were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
    and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual
    financial statements by Jarden's certified independent accountants; and

         (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the
    Commission on Form 8-K if Jarden were required to file such reports.

         If Jarden has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted
Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by
the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either
on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of Jarden and
its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of
operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Jarden.

         In addition, following the consummation of the exchange offer
contemplated by the registration rights agreement, whether or not required by
the Commission, Jarden will file a copy of all of the information and reports
referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public
availability (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) within the
time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations (together with
any extensions granted by the Commission) and make such information available to
securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, Jarden
and the Guarantors have agreed that, for so long as any notes (other than new
notes) remain outstanding, they will furnish to the Holders and to securities
analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required
to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Amendment Of Subordinated Seller Notes

         Without the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of notes then outstanding, Jarden will not agree to amend or modify the
subordinated seller notes in any manner that would result in the subordinated
seller notes not being subordinated to the notes to at least the same extent as
the notes are subordinated to Senior Debt, or that would accelerate any payment
of the subordinated seller notes or increase the interest rate on the
subordinated seller notes.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES



                                       74



         Each of the following is an Event of Default:

         (1) default 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;

         (2) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if
any, on the notes, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of
the indenture;

         (3) failure by Jarden or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with the
provisions described under the captions "--Repurchase at the Option of
Holders--Change of Control," "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders-- Asset
Sales" (other than the requirement that the resolution of the Board of Directors
pursuant to clause (2) of the first paragraph of such provision 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), or
"--Certain Covenants--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets";

         (4) failure by Jarden or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with the
provisions described under the captions "--Certain Covenants--Restricted
Payments" or "--Certain Covenants--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of
Preferred Stock," and such failure continues for 30 days;

         (5) failure by Jarden or any of its Subsidiaries for 60 days after
notice by the trustee or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding notes to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture;

         (6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
(or the payment of which is guaranteed by Jarden or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created
after the date of the indenture, if that default:

              (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or
         premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the
         grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default
         (a "Payment Default"); or

              (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its
         express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with
the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a
Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates
$10.0 million or more;

         (7) failure by Jarden or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay
final judgments aggregating in excess of $10.0 million (to the extent not
insured), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60
days;

         (8) except as permitted by the indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee
shall be held in any



                                       75



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 behalf
of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee; and

         (9) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the
indenture with respect to Jarden, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

         In the case of an Event of Default arising from an event of bankruptcy
or insolvency described in clause (9) above, all outstanding notes will become
due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other 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 immediately.

         Holders of the notes 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 if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or
Event of Default relating to the payment of principal (including redemption or
purchase price) or interest or Liquidated Damages.

         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 (including
redemption or purchase price) of, the notes.

         In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful
action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of Jarden with the
intention of avoiding payment of the premium that Jarden would have had to pay
if Jarden then had elected to redeem the notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of the indenture, an equivalent premium will also become
and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the
acceleration of the notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to May 1, 2007,
by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on
behalf of Jarden with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of
the notes prior to May 1, 2007, then the premium specified in the indenture will
also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the
acceleration of the notes.

         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 Jarden and the trustee, may rescind such
declaration and its consequences if: (i) Jarden has paid or deposited with the
trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on all notes, (B) all
unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any outstanding notes that has
become due, other than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon
at the rate borne by the notes, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest
is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate
borne by the notes, and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the trustee under



                                       76



the indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the trustee, its agents and counsel; and (ii) all Events of Default,
other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on),
or interest on, the notes that have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

         Jarden is required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement
regarding compliance with the indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or
Event of Default, Jarden is required to deliver to the trustee a statement
specifying such Default or Event of Default.

NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS

         No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Jarden
or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of Jarden
or the Guarantors under the notes, the indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees, or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each Holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
under the Federal securities laws.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

         Jarden may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its
obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations
of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees ("Legal
Defeasance") except for:

         o    the rights of Holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in
              respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Liquidated
              Damages, if any, on such notes when such payments are due from the
              trust referred to below;

         o    Jarden's obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing
              temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost
              or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for
              payment and money for security payments held in trust;

         o    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee,
              and Jarden's and the Guarantors' obligations in connection
              therewith; and

         o    the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

         In addition, Jarden may, at its option and at any time, elect to have
the obligations of Jarden and the Guarantors released with respect to certain
covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers and Asset
Sale Offers) that are described in the indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and
thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a
Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant
Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy,
receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "--Events of
Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect
to the notes.

         In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:



                                       77



         o    Jarden must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for
              the benefit of the Holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars,
              non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in
              U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as
              will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
              of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and
              interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the
              outstanding notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable
              redemption date, as the case may be, and Jarden must specify
              whether the notes are being defeased to maturity or to a
              particular redemption date;

         o    in the case of Legal Defeasance, Jarden has delivered to the
              trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee
              confirming that

              o    Jarden has received from, or there has been published by, the
                   Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

              o    since the date of the indenture, there has been a change in
                   the applicable Federal income tax law,

              in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion
              of counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding notes
              will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
              purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject
              to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
              at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
              Defeasance had not occurred;

         o    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, Jarden has delivered to the
              trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee
              confirming that the Holders of the outstanding notes will not
              recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as
              a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to
              Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
              the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
              Defeasance had not occurred;

         o    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on
              the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto;

         o    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a
              breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material
              agreement or instrument (other than the indenture) to which Jarden
              or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Jarden or any of
              its Subsidiaries is bound;

         o    Jarden must deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate
              stating that the deposit was not made by Jarden with the intent of
              preferring the Holders of notes over the other creditors of Jarden
              with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
              creditors of Jarden or others; and

         o    Jarden must deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate and an
              opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
              relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have
              been complied with.



                                       78



AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

         Except as provided in the next three succeeding paragraphs, the
indenture and the notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase
of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), and any existing default or
compliance with any provision of the indenture or the notes may be waived with
the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).

         Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may
not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

         o    reduce the principal amount of notes whose Holders must consent to
              an amendment, supplement or waiver;

         o    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note
              or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the
              notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described
              above under the caption "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders");

         o    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on
              any note;

         o    waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal
              (including redemption or purchase price) of, or interest or
              premium, or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes (except a
              rescission of acceleration of the notes by the Holders of at least
              a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes and a waiver
              of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

         o    make any note payable in money other than that stated in the
              notes;

         o    make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to
              waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of notes to
              receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or
              Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes;

         o    waive a redemption payment with respect to any note (other than a
              payment required by one of the covenants described above under the
              caption "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders");

         o    release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its
              Subsidiary Guarantee or the indenture, except in accordance with
              the terms of the indenture; or

         o    make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

         In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of the
indenture relating to subordination that adversely affects the rights of the
Holders of the notes will require the consent



                                       79



of the Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of notes then
outstanding.

         Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any Holder of
notes, Jarden, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the
indenture or the notes:

         o    to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

         o    to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of
              certificated notes;

         o    to provide for the assumption of Jarden's obligations to Holders
              of notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all
              or substantially all of Jarden's assets;

         o    to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
              benefits to the Holders of notes or that does not adversely affect
              the legal rights under the indenture of any such Holder; or

         o    to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect
              or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust
              Indenture Act.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

         The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect
as to all notes issued thereunder, when:

         o    either:

              o    all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen
                   or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes
                   for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and
                   thereafter repaid to Jarden, have been delivered to the
                   trustee for cancellation; or

              o    all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for
                   cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the
                   mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become
                   due and payable within one year and Jarden or any Guarantor
                   has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
                   trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
                   Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
                   Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and
                   non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be
                   sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of
                   interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the
                   notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation for
                   principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and
                   accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

         o    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on
              the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit
              and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
              constitute a default under, any other instrument to which Jarden
              or any Guarantor is a party or by which Jarden or any Guarantor is
              bound;



                                       80




         o    Jarden or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums
              payable by it under the indenture; and

         o    Jarden has delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee under
              the indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
              the notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

         In addition, Jarden must deliver an officers' certificate and an
opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to
satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

         If the trustee becomes a creditor of Jarden or any Guarantor, the
indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to
realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or
otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions;
however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict
within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.

         The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to
certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its
power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his own
affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to
exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any
Holder of notes, unless such Holder has offered to the trustee security and
indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

         The new notes will be represented by one or more permanent global
certificates in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons (the
"Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the
Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), in New York, New
York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee for credit to an account
of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

         Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in
whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC
or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged
for new notes in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described
below. See "-Exchange of Book-Entry Notes for Certificated Notes".

         Transfer of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to
the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect
participants (including, if applicable, those of the Euroclear System
("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking societe anonyme ("Clearstream")), which
may change from time to time.

DEPOSITORY PROCEDURES



                                       81



         DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for
its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities
between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its
Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including
the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and
certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other
entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through
or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or
indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not
Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only
through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests
and transfer of ownership interests of each actual purchaser of each security
held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and
Indirect Participants.

         Pursuant to procedures established by DTC:

         o    upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of
              Participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of
              the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

         o    ownership of such interests in the Global Notes will be maintained
              by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants
              and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of
              beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

         Investors in the Global Notes may hold their interests therein directly
through DTC, if they are Participants in such system, or indirectly through
organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) which are Participants in
such system.

         All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear
or Clearstream, will be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those
interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream will also be subject to the
procedures and requirements of these systems. The laws of some states require
that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities
that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a
Global Note to such persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act
only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect
Participants, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a Global
Note to pledge such interests to persons or entities that do not participate in
the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be
affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests. For
certain other restrictions on the transferability of the new notes, see
"-Exchange of Book-Entry Notes for Certificated Notes".

         Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will
not have new notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery
of new notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered
owners or holders thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

         Payments in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be
payable by the Trustee to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the
Indenture. Jarden and the Trustee will treat the



                                       82



persons in whose names the new notes, including the Global Notes, are registered
as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments and for any and
all other purposes whatsoever. Consequently, neither Jarden, the Trustee nor any
agent of Jarden or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability
for:

         o    any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect
              Participant's records relating to or payment made on account of
              beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes, or for
              maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any
              Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the
              beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or

         o    any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or
              any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

         DTC has advised Jarden that its current practice, upon receipt of any
payment in respect of securities such as the new notes (including principal and
interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the
payment on the payment date, in amounts proportionate to their respective
holdings in the principal amount of beneficial interests in the relevant
security as shown on the records of DTC unless DTC has reason to believe it will
not receive payment on such payment date. Payments by the Participants and the
Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of new notes will be governed by
standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of
the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility
of DTC, the Trustee or Jarden. Neither Jarden nor the Trustee will be liable for
any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners
of the new notes, and Jarden and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will
be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all
purposes.

         Except for trades involving only Euroclear and Clearstream
participants, interests in the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade
in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System and secondary market trading activity
in such interests will therefore settle in immediately available funds, subject
in all cases to the rules and procedures of DTC and its Participants.

         Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance
with DTC's procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers
between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be affected in the
ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

         Cross-market transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one
hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be
effected through DTC in accordance with DTC 's rules on behalf of Euroclear and
Clearstream, as the case may be, by their depositories. Cross-market
transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream,
as the case may be, by the counterparty in that system in accordance with the
rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of
that system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the
transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its
respective depositories to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf
by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and
making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day
funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear



                                       83



and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the
depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

         Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear
or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a
Participant in DTC will be credited and reported to the relevant Euroclear or
Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which
must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the
settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised Jarden that cash received in Euroclear
or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through
a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant in DTC will be received
with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant
Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day of Euroclear
or Clearstream following DTC's settlement date.

         DTC has advised Jarden that it will take any action permitted to be
taken by a Holder of new notes only at the direction of one or more Participants
to whose account with DTC interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in
respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the new notes as to
which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. If
there is an Event of Default under the new notes, DTC reserves the right to
exchange the Global Notes for legended new notes in certificated form, and to
distribute the new notes to its Participants.

         Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing
procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among
participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to
perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and the procedures may be
discontinued at any time. Neither Jarden nor the Trustee will have any
responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their
respective Participants or Indirect Participants of their respective obligations
under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

         According to DTC, the foregoing information with respect to DTC has
been provided for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as a
representation, warranty, or contract modification of any kind.

         The information in this section concerning DTC, Euroclear and
Clearstream and their book-entry systems has been obtained from sources that
Jarden believes to be reliable.

EXCHANGE OF BOOK-ENTRY NOTES FOR CERTIFICATED NOTES

         A Global Note is exchangeable for new notes in registered certificated
form ("Certificated Notes") if:

         o    DTC (a) notifies Jarden that it is unwilling or unable to continue
              as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a
              clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either
              case, Jarden fails to appoint a successor depositary;

         o    Jarden, at its option, notifies the trustee in writing that it
              elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or



                                       84



         o    there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default
              with respect to the notes.

         In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for
Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on
behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes
delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global
Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations,
requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary
procedures).

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATED NOTES FOR GLOBAL NOTES

         Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any
Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written
certificate (in the form provided in the indenture) to the effect that such
transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions, if any,
applicable to such notes.

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

         Set forth below are certain defined terms used in the indenture.

              Person is merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such
              specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in
              connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging
              with or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of, such specified Person;
              and

         Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with such specified Person. For purposes of this definition, "control,"
as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or
policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
agreement or otherwise; provided that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the
Voting Stock of a Person will be deemed to be control. For purposes of this
definition, the terms "controlling," "controlled by" and "under common control
with" have correlative meanings.

         "Asset Sale" means:

         (1)  the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any assets or
              rights, other than sales of inventory and accounts receivable in
              the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices;
              provided that the sale, conveyance or other



                                       85



              disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Jarden
              and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by the
              provisions of the indenture described above under the caption
              "--Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Change of Control" and/or
              the provisions described above under the caption "--Certain
              Covenants--Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" and not by the
              provisions of the Asset Sale covenant; and

         (2)  the issuance of Equity Interests by any of Jarden's Restricted
              Subsidiaries or the sale of Equity Interests in any of its
              Restricted Subsidiaries.

         Notwithstanding the preceding, none of the following items will be
deemed to be an Asset Sale:

         (1)  any single transaction or series of related transactions that
              involves assets having a fair market value of less than $1.0
              million;

         (2)  a transfer of assets between or among Jarden and its Subsidiaries,

         (4)  the sale or lease of equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or
              other assets in the ordinary course of business;

              any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to a Receivables Subsidiary in
              connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction; and

         (7)  a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment that is permitted by
              the covenant described above under the caption "--Certain
              Covenants--Restricted Payments."

         "Beneficial Owner" has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3
and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial
ownership of any particular "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act), such "person" will be deemed to have beneficial ownership
of all securities that such "person" has the right to acquire by conversion or
exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is
exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition. The terms
"Beneficially Owns" and "Beneficially Owned" have a corresponding meaning.

         "Board of Directors" means:

         (1) with respect to a corporation, the board of directors of the
         corporation;

         (2) with respect to a partnership or limited liability company, the

         partnership; and



                                       86



         (3) with respect to any other Person, the board or committee of such

         "Unrestricted Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary of Jarden that is

         understanding with Jarden or any Restricted Subsidiary of Jarden unless

                                       99



         arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to Jarden or such
         Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time
         from Persons who are not Affiliates of Jarden;

         (3) is a Person with respect to which neither Jarden nor any of its
         Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (a) to

         achieve any specified levels of operating results;

         (4) has not guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided

will be evidenced to the trustee by filing with the trustee a certified copy of
the Board Resolution giving effect to such designation and an officers'
certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding
conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under the
"--Certain Covenants--Restricted Payments." If, at any time, any Unrestricted
Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for
purposes of the indenture and (i) will be deemed to be redesignated as a
Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be
deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of Jarden as of such date and,
if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the
covenant described under the caption "--Certain Covenants--Incurrence of
Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock," Jarden will be in default of such
covenant. The Board of Directors of Jarden may at any time designate any
Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such
designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted
Subsidiary of Jarden of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness
is permitted under the covenant described under the caption "--Certain
Covenants--Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock,"
calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the
beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of
Default would be in existence following such designation. Upon any such
designation as a Restricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary, if it is a Domestic
Subsidiary, will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture.

         required payments of principal, including payment at final maturity, in
         respect of the Indebtedness, by (b) the



                                      100

         (2) the then outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness.

                       DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS

         On April 24, 2002, we refinanced our existing senior indebtedness with
a new $100 million senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
pursuant to the terms of a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with Bank
of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent"), Swing
Line Lender, and L/C Issuer, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Syndication
Agent, National City Bank of Indiana, as Documentation Agent, and the other
Lenders party thereto, including The Bank of New York, Fleet National Bank,
Harris Trust and Savings Bank, U.S. Bank National Association, Allfirst Bank,
Transamerica Business Capital Corporation, and Union Federal Bank of
Indianapolis.

         The Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for a new senior
credit facility for up to $100 million of senior secured loans, consisting of a
$50 million five-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit
Facility") and a $50 million five-year term loan facility (the "Term Loan
Facility").

         The Revolving Credit Facility includes up to an aggregate of $10
million in standby and commercial letters of credit and up to an aggregate of
$10 million in swing line loans. As of June 30, 2002, we had not drawn any of
the $50 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, although we used
$2.6 million of availability in connection with pre-existing letters of credit.

         The Term Loan Facility was drawn in full, in the amount of $50 million,
at the closing of the Credit Facility and such principal amount remains
outstanding as of June 30, 2002. Principal and interest under the Term Loan
Facility are payable quarterly, in accordance with a specified amortization
schedule, with the final payment of all amounts outstanding thereunder being due
on April 24, 2007.

         The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility bear interest
at a rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate (as determined by the Administrative
Agent) pursuant to an agreed formula or (ii) a Base Rate equal to the higher of
(a) the Bank of America prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus .50%,
plus, in each case, an applicable margin ranging from .75% to 1.50% for Base
Rate loans and from 2.00% to 2.75% for Eurodollar Rate loans.

         The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions on the conduct of
our business, including, among other things, restrictions, generally, on:

         o    incurring debt;

         o    disposing of certain assets;

         o    making investments;

         o    exceeding certain agreed capital expenditures;



                                      101



         o    creating or suffering liens on our assets;

         o    completing certain mergers, consolidations, and with permitted
              exceptions, acquisitions;

         o    declaring dividends;

         o    redeeming or prepaying other debt; and

         o    transactions with affiliates.

         The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain the following
financial covenants:

         o    our consolidated net worth may not be at any time less than the
              sum of:

              o    $30,000,000;

              o    an amount equal to 50% of our consolidated net income earned
                   in each fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2001 (with
                   no deduction for a net loss in any such fiscal quarter); and

              o    an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate increases in the
                   stockholders' equity of Jarden and our subsidiaries after
                   April 24, 2002 by reason of the issuance and sale of our
                   capital stock (including upon any conversion of our debt
                   securities into our capital stock);

their respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

         The occurrence of certain events or conditions described in the Credit
Agreement (subject to grace periods in certain cases) constitutes an event of
default. If an event of default occurs, the Administrative Agent may, at the
request or consent of the Lenders, among other things, declare the entire
outstanding balance of principal and interest of all outstanding loans to be
immediately due and payable. The events of default include, among other things:

         o    our failure to pay any principal, interest, or other fees when
              due;

         o    any material judgment or order entered against us;

         o    any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties;

         o    failure to observe certain covenants under the Credit Agreement
              (including, e.g., the financial covenants);

         o    bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings with respect to
              Jarden; and



                                      103



         o    a change of control of Jarden.

         The Credit Agreement provides that we shall make required prepayments
of the Term Loan and Revolving Loan, including, among other things, upon the
happening of the following events:

         o    in the event that our total leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to
              1.00 as of the end of any fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal
              year ending December 31, 2002, we must make a prepayment in an
              amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount of excess cash
              flow, each such prepayment to be made on the date our and our
              subsidiaries' financial statements for such fiscal year are
              required to be delivered (or if earlier, the date such financial
              statements are delivered) pursuant to the Credit Agreement;

         o    we must make, or must cause each applicable subsidiary to make, a
              prepayment with respect to each private or public offering of
              equity securities of Jarden or any of our subsidiaries (other than
              Equity Securities issued to Jarden or a Guarantor) in an amount
              equal to fifty percent (50%) of the net proceeds of each issuance
              of equity securities of the Jarden or any of our subsidiaries,
              each such prepayment to be made within ten (10) business days of
              receipt of such proceeds and upon not less than five (5) business
              days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; however,
              no prepayment shall be required of the first $10,000,000 of net
              proceeds in each fiscal year of Jarden realized from (x) the
              issuance of equity securities in connection with the exercise of
              any option, warrant or other convertible security of Jarden or any
              of our subsidiaries or (y) the issuance, award or grant of equity
              securities to eligible participants under a stock plan of Jarden.

         o    we must make, or must cause each applicable subsidiary to make, a
              prepayment in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
              net proceeds from each Disposition (as defined below) other than
              certain Permitted Dispositions (as defined below), each such
              prepayment to be made within ten (10) business days of receipt of
              the net proceeds thereof and upon not less than five (5) business
              days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.
              Disposition means the sale, transfer, license or other disposition
              (including any sale and leaseback transaction) of any property by
              any person, including any sale, assignment, transfer or other
              disposal, with or without recourse, of any notes or accounts
              receivable or any rights and claims associated therewith. A
              Disposition shall not include (a "Permitted Disposition"):

              o    Dispositions of obsolete or worn out property, whether now
                   owned or hereafter acquired, in the ordinary course of
                   business;

              o    Dispositions of inventory in the ordinary course of business;

              o    Dispositions by Jarden or any of our subsidiaries of
                   equipment or real property which is replaced by equipment or
                   real property of substantially equivalent or greater utility
                   and value within ninety (90) days of the date of disposition
                   thereof, provided that if the fair market value of the
                   property so disposed of is greater than $3,000,000, the
                   Administrative Agent will have received notice of such



                                      104



                   disposition from the Borrower not less than twenty (20) days
                   prior to the consummation of such disposition;

              o    Dispositions of property (i) by any of our subsidiaries to a
                   Guarantor, (ii) by us or any Guarantor to any Guarantor, and
                   (iii) by any of our subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor to
                   any other of our subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor;

              o    any of our subsidiaries may merge with or transfer
                   substantially all its assets (upon voluntary liquidation or
                   otherwise) to any Guarantor, provided that, if a merger, the
                   Guarantor must be the continuing or surviving person, and
                   provided further that if a transfer of assets in the form of
                   a sale by a subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, the sale
                   shall be at fair market value and the aggregate amount of all
                   such sales will not exceed $5,000,000;

              o    any of our subsidiaries substantially all of whose assets
                   consist of other subsidiaries' securities or other equity
                   securities in any person may merge with or transfer
                   substantially all its assets (upon voluntary liquidation or
                   otherwise) to us, provided that, if a merger, we will be the
                   continuing or surviving person, and provided further that if
                   a transfer of assets in the form of a sale by a subsidiary
                   that is not a Guarantor, the sale will be at fair market
                   value and the aggregate amount of all such sales will not
                   exceed $5,000,000;

              o    any of our subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor may merge
                   with or sell substantially all its assets (upon voluntary
                   liquidation or otherwise) to any one or more subsidiaries
                   that is not a Guarantor; and

              o    Dispositions not otherwise permitted by above, so long as the
                   aggregate fair market value of all such property so disposed
                   in any fiscal year of Jarden does not exceed $35,000,000 and
                   the net proceeds therefrom are applied in accordance with the
                   Credit Agreement;

         o    In the event that the net proceeds received from insurance carried
              with respect to the collateral securing our obligations under the
              Credit Agreement and the other loan documents is not completely
              and fully utilized for the repair or replacement of such
              collateral, we must make, or must cause each applicable subsidiary
              to make, a prepayment in an amount equal to one hundred percent
              (100%) of the net proceeds received with respect to such insurance
              that is not so utilized.

         In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, all of our
Domestic Subsidiaries, including Hearthmark, Inc., Alltrista Plastics
Corporation, Alltrista Newco Corporation, Alltrista Zinc Products, L.P., TriEnda
Corporation, Tilia, Inc. (formerly known as Alltrista Acquisition I, Inc.),
Tilia Direct, Inc. (formerly known as Alltrista Acquisition II, Inc.), and Tilia
International, Inc. (formerly known as Alltrista Acquisition III, Inc.), and
Quoin Corporation, have agreed to guarantee our obligations under the Credit
Agreement.

         Pursuant to the Securities Pledge Agreement, all obligations under the
Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in all of the capital stock
or other equity interests of each of our existing or future direct or indirect
domestic subsidiaries, and 65% of the voting capital stock or



                                      105



other equity interests and 100% of the nonvoting stock or other equity interests
of each of our (or any of our direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries')
existing or future direct foreign subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of a
Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the
obligations under the Credit Agreement are also secured by a security interest
in substantially all of the assets and properties of Jarden and the Domestic
Subsidiaries.

         The foregoing is a summary of the material provisions of the Credit
Agreement and certain of the documents entered into by us and the Domestic
Subsidiaries in connection therewith which are incorporated herein by reference.

                   MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

         The following general discussion summarizes the material U.S. Federal
income tax consequences of the exchange, ownership and disposition of the notes.
This discussion only deals with persons that hold notes as a capital asset
within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or the Code, and that purchase the notes for cash at original issue at
the initial offering price. This discussion does not address the U.S. Federal
income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular holder subject to
special treatment under certain U.S. Federal income tax laws (for example,
persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code). Also,
this discussion is not intended to be wholly applicable to all categories of
investors, some of which, such as dealers in securities or foreign currency,
banks, trusts, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations (employment,
charitable or other), persons that hold notes as part of a hedging or conversion
transaction or a straddle, persons deemed to sell notes under the constructive
sale provisions of the Code, persons that have a functional currency other than
the U.S. dollar and investors in pass-through entities, may be subject to
special rules.

         This discussion is based on the Code, the final, temporary and proposed
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative pronouncements and
judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not requested, and
will not request, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS,
with respect to any of the U.S. Federal income tax consequences described below.
There can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge any
of the conclusions set forth herein.

         Holders of the new notes should consult their own tax advisors
concerning the application of U.S. Federal income tax laws, as well as the laws
of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction, to their particular
situations.

U.S. HOLDERS

         The following discussion is limited to persons that are U.S. Holders.
For these purposes, "U.S. Holder" means the beneficial owner of a note that for
U.S. Federal income tax purposes is (i) an individual who is a citizen or
resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a
corporation that is created or organized under the laws of the United States or
any political subdivision thereof or therein, (iii) an estate the income of
which is subject to U.S. Federal income tax regardless of its source, (iv) a
trust subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and the
control of one or more U.S. persons or (v) a person whose worldwide



                                      106



income or gain is otherwise subject to U.S. Federal income tax on a net income
basis. If a partnership or other entity taxable as a partnership holds the
notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the
partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partner should consult its
tax advisor as to the tax consequences.

Exchange Offer

         The exchange of old notes for the new notes pursuant to the exchange
offer should not constitute a taxable event for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes. As a result:

         o    a U.S. Holder of notes should not recognize taxable gain or loss
              as a result of the exchange of old notes for the new notes
              pursuant to the exchange offer;

         o    the holding period of the new notes should include the holding
              period of the old notes surrendered in exchange therefor; and

         o    a U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the new notes should be the
              same as such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the old notes
              surrendered in exchange therefor.

Interest

         A U.S. Holder must generally include interest on a note in its ordinary
income at the time such interest is received or accrued, in accordance with such
U.S. Holder's method of accounting for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes

         Upon the sale, exchange or redemption of a note, a U.S. Holder
generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between
(i) the amount realized on such disposition and (ii) such U.S. Holder's adjusted
tax basis in the note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts realized in
connection with any sale, exchange or redemption with respect to accrued
interest not previously included in income will be treated as ordinary interest
income. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the
cost of such note less any principal payments received by such holder.

Contingent Payments

         In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay you amounts in
excess of the stated interest and principal payable on the notes. The obligation
to make such payments, including liquidated damages and redemption premiums
payable in certain circumstances, may implicate the provisions of Treasury
regulations relating to "contingent payment debt instruments". If the notes were
deemed to be contingent payment debt instruments, U.S. Holders might, among
other things, be required to treat any gain recognized on the sale or other
disposition of a note as ordinary income, subject to tax at a maximum Federal
rate of 38.6%, rather than as capital gain which may be subject to tax at a
maximum Federal rate of 20%. The regulations applicable to contingent payment
debt instruments have not been the subject of authoritative interpretation and
therefore the scope of the regulations is not certain. Jarden intends to take
the position that the likelihood that such payments will be made is remote and
therefore the notes are not subject to



                                      107



the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. This determination will
be binding on a holder unless such holder explicitly discloses on a statement
attached to the holder's timely filed U.S. Federal income tax return for the
taxable year that includes the acquisition date of the note that such holder's
determination is different. Purchasers of notes are urged to consult their tax
advisors regarding the possible application of the contingent payment debt
instrument rules to the notes.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

         A U.S. Holder of notes may be subject to backup withholding, currently
at a rate of 30%, but subject to gradual reduction to 28% by year 2006 (the
"Applicable Backup Withholding Rate"), with respect to "reportable payments,"
which includes interest and principal paid on or the gross proceeds of a sale,
exchange or redemption of the notes. The payor of any reportable payments will
be required to deduct and withhold the Applicable Backup Withholding Rate from
such payments if (i) the payee fails to establish that it is entitled to an
exemption, (ii) the payee fails to furnish its correct Taxpayer Identification
Number ("TIN") to the payor in the prescribed manner, (iii) the IRS notifies the
payor that the TIN furnished by the payee is incorrect, (iv) the payee has
failed properly to report the receipt of reportable payments and the IRS has
notified the payor that backup withholding is required or (v) the payee fails to
certify under penalties of perjury that such payee is not subject to backup
withholding. If any one of these events occurs with respect to a U.S. Holder of
notes, Jarden or its paying or other withholding agent will be required to
withhold the Applicable Backup Withholding Rate from any payments of principal
and interest on a note.

         Any amount withheld from a payment to a U.S. Holder under the backup
withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against such holder's
U.S. Federal income tax liability, so long as the required information is
provided timely to the IRS. Jarden, its paying agent or other withholding agent
generally will report to a U.S. Holder of notes and to the IRS the amount of any
reportable payments made in respect of the notes for each calendar year and the
amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect to such payments.

NON-U.S. HOLDERS

If you are a "Non-U.S. Holder," as defined below, this section applies to you. A
Non-U.S. Holder means any beneficial owner of a new note that is not a United
States holder. The rules governing the United States Federal income and estate
taxation of a Non-U.S. Holder are complex, and no attempt will be made herein to
provide more than a summary of those rules. Special rules may apply to a
Non-U.S. Holder if such holder is a controlled foreign corporation, passive
foreign investment company or foreign personal holding company and therefore
subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code. IF YOU ARE A
NON-U.S. HOLDER, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE
EFFECT ON YOU OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS WITH REGARD TO AN
INVESTMENT IN THE NEW NOTES, INCLUDING ANY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

Interest

         Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, payments of
interest on a note to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S.
Federal income or withholding tax,



                                      108



provided that (i) the holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Jarden that are
entitled to vote, (ii) the holder is not (a) a controlled foreign corporation
that is related to Jarden through stock ownership or (b) a bank receiving
interest on a loan entered into in the ordinary course of business, (iii) such
interest is not effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of
a trade or business within the United States and (iv) Jarden or its paying agent
receives appropriate documentation establishing that the Non-U.S. Holder is not
a U.S. person.

         A Non-U.S. Holder that does not qualify for exemption from withholding
under the preceding paragraph generally will be subject to withholding of U.S.
Federal income tax at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate) on payments
of interest on the notes.

         If interest on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct by
an Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States, such
interest will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on a net income basis at the
rate applicable to U.S. persons generally (and, with respect to corporate
holders, may also be subject to a 30% branch profits tax). If interest is
subject to U.S. Federal income tax on a net income basis in accordance with
these rules, such payments will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax so long
as the relevant Non-U.S. Holder provides Jarden or its paying agent with the
appropriate documentation.

Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes

         Subject to the discussion of backup withholding, any gain realized by a
Non-U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or redemption of a note generally will not
be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, unless (i) such gain is effectively
connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within
the United States, (ii) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in
the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and
certain other conditions are satisfied or (iii) the Non-U.S. Holder is subject
to tax pursuant to the provisions of U.S. Federal income tax law applicable to
certain expatriates.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

         Backup withholding and information reporting generally will not apply
to interest payments made to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of the notes if such
Non-U.S. Holder furnishes Jarden or its paying agent with appropriate
documentation of such holder's non-U.S. status.

         The payment of proceeds from a Non-U.S. Holder's disposition of notes
to or through the U.S. office of any broker, domestic or foreign, will be
subject to information reporting and possible backup withholding unless such
holder certifies as to its non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury or
otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that the broker does not have
actual knowledge that such holder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of an
exemption are not, in fact, satisfied. The payment of the proceeds from a
Non-U.S. Holder's disposition of a note to or through a non-U.S. office of
either a U.S. broker or a non-U.S. broker that is a U.S.-related person will be
subject to information reporting, but not backup withholding, unless such broker
has documentary evidence in its files that such Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S.
person and the broker has no knowledge to the contrary, or the Non-U.S. Holder
establishes an exemption. For this purpose, a "U.S.-related person" is (i) a
controlled foreign corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, (ii) a
foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income from all sources



                                      109



for the three-year period ending with the close of its taxable year preceding
payment (or for such part of the period that the broker has been in existence)
is derived from activities that are effectively connected with the conduct of a
U.S. trade or business or (iii) a foreign partnership that is either engaged in
the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. or of which 50% or more of its
income or capital interests are held by U.S. persons. Neither information
reporting nor backup withholding will apply to a payment of the proceeds of a
Non-U.S. Holder's disposition of notes by or through a non-U.S. office of a
non-U.S. broker that is not a U.S.-related person. Copies of any information
returns filed with the IRS may be made available by the IRS, under the
provisions of a specific treaty or agreement, to the taxing authorities of the
country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides.

         Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment
to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against such
Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. Federal income tax liability, provided that the requisite
procedures are followed.

         Prospective purchasers of notes are urged to consult their own tax
advisors with respect to the application to their particular situations of U.S.
Federal income tax laws, as well as the laws of any state, local or foreign
taxing jurisdiction.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         We are not using any underwriters for this exchange offer.

         Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant
to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of these new notes. This prospectus, as it may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in
connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where
the old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities.

         We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by
broker-dealers or any other persons. New notes received by broker-dealers for
their own account pursuant the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in
one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes, or a combination
of these methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale,
at prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices. Any
resale of new notes may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers
or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or
concessions from any broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any new notes. Any
broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own
account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker-dealer that participates
in a distribution of the new notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any of these resales of new
notes or any commissions or concessions received by any of these persons may be
deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of
transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering
a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

         We and the guarantors will use our best efforts to keep this
registration statement



                                      110



continuously effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to
ensure that it is available for resales of notes acquired by broker-dealers for
their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of the
registration rights agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and
regulations of the Commission, for a period ending on the earlier of

         o    180 days from the date on which this registration statement is
              declared effective and

         o    the date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver
              a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading
              activities.

         We and the guarantors will provide sufficient copies of the latest

1.       Basis of Presentation

         Certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant
         accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared
         in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
         United States, have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of
         management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
         statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
         the results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations
         for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results for the
         year, particularly in view of the seasonality for home food
         preservation products. The accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
         Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial
         Statements of Tilia International, Inc. and Subsidiaries, incorporated
         by reference hereto.

2.       Subsequent events

         On April 24, 2002, the business of Tilia International, Inc. and its
         subsidiaries Tilia, Inc. and Tilia Canada, Inc. (collectively "Tilia"),
         was acquired by Jarden Corporation (f/k/a Alltrista Corporation)
         pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the "Acquisition"). Pursuant
         to the Acquisition, Tilia was acquired for approximately $145 million
         in cash and $15 million in seller debt financing. In addition, the
         Acquisition includes an earn-out provision with a potential payment in

         provided that certain earnings performance targets are met.

                                     PART II

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (i) if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe
such conduct was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the
corporation, a corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which
such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or other such court shall deem proper. To
the extent that such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defending any such action, suit or proceeding referred to above or any claim
issue or matter therein, he or she is entitled to indemnification for expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection therewith. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
for or granted pursuant to Section 145 is not exclusive of any other rights of
indemnification or advancement of expenses to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and a corporation
may purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities asserted against any
former or current director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or a
person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, whether or not the power to indemnify is provided by
the statute.

         Article VII, Section B of Jarden's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, provides the following:

         1.  Jarden shall indemnify each person who is or was a director,
             officer or employee of Jarden, or of any other corporation,
             partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise which he is
             serving or served in any capacity at the request of Jarden, against
             any and all liability and reasonable expense that may be incurred
             by him in connection with

                                      126


             or resulting from any claim, actions, suit or proceeding (whether
             actual or threatened, brought by or in the right of Jarden or such
             other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
             enterprise, or otherwise, civil, criminal, administrative,
             investigative, or in connection with an appeal relating thereto),
             in which he may become involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason
             of his being or having been a director, officer or employee of
             Jarden or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
             trust or other enterprise or by reason of any past or future action
             taken or not taken in his capacity as such director, officer or
             employee, whether or not he continues to be such at the time such
             liability or expense is incurred, provided that a determination is
             made by Jarden in accordance with Delaware law that such person
             acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
             the best interests of Jarden or at least not opposed to the best
             interests of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
             trust or other enterprise, as the case may be, and, in addition, in
             any criminal action or proceedings, had reasonable cause to believe
             his conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his
             conduct was unlawful. The termination of a proceeding by judgment,
             order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
             its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the person did
             not meet the standard of conduct described in the previous
             sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no
             indemnification (a) as to amounts paid or payable to Jarden or such
             other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
             enterprise, as the case may be, for or based upon the director,
             officer or employee having gained in fact any personal profit or
             advantage to which he was not legally entitled; (b) as to amounts
             paid or payable to Jarden for an accounting of profits in fact made
             from the purchase or sale of securities of Jarden within the
             meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and amendments thereto
             or similar provisions of any state statutory law; or (c) with
             respect to matters as to which indemnification would be in
             contravention of the laws of the State of Delaware or of the United
             States of America whether as a matter of public policy or pursuant
             to statutory provisions.

         2.  Any such director, officer or employee who has been wholly
             successful, on the merits or otherwise, with respect to any claim,
             action, suit or proceeding of the character described herein shall
             be entitled to indemnification as of right, except to the extent he
             has otherwise been indemnified. Except as provided in the preceding
             sentence, any indemnification hereunder shall be granted by Jarden,
             but only if (a) the Board of Directors of Jarden, acting by a
             quorum consisting of directors who are not partners to or who have
             been wholly successful with respect to such claim, action, suit or
             proceeding, shall find that the director, officer or employee has
             met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph 1 of
             this Section B of Article VII; or (b) outside legal counsel engaged
             by Jarden (who may be regular counsel of Jarden) shall deliver to
             Jarden its written opinion that such director, officer or employee
             has met such applicable standards of conduct; or (c) a court of
             competent jurisdiction has determined that such director, officer
             or employee has met such standards, in an action brought either by
             Jarden, or by the director, officer or employee seeking
             indemnification, applying de novo such applicable standards of
             conduct. The termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding,
             civil or criminal, by judgment, settlement (whether with or without
             court approval) or conviction or upon a plea of guilty or of nolo
             contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that
             a

                                      127


             director, officer or employee did not meet the applicable standards
             of conduct set forth in paragraph 1 of this Section B of Article
             VII.

         3.  As used in this Section B of Article VII, the term "liability"
             shall mean amounts paid in settlement or in satisfaction of
             judgments of fines or penalties, and the term "expense" shall
             include, but not be limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements,
             incurred in connection with the claim, action, suit or proceeding.
             Jarden may advance expenses to, or where appropriate may at its
             option and expense undertake the defense of, any such director,
             officer or employee upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
             of such person to repay such expenses if it should ultimately be
             determined that the person is not entitled to indemnification under
             this Section B of Article VII.

         4.  The provisions of this Section B of Article VII shall be applicable
             to claims, actions, suits or proceedings made or commenced after
             the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions to act
             occurring before or after the adoption hereof. If several claims,
             issues or matters of action are involved, any such director,
             officer or employee may be entitled to indemnification as to some
             matters even though he is not so entitled as to others. The rights
             of indemnification provided hereunder shall be in addition to any
             rights to which any director, officer or employee concerned may
             otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law, and shall
             inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
             any such director, officer or employee. Any repeal or modification
             of the provisions of this Section B of Article VII by the
             stockholders of Jarden shall not adversely affect any rights to
             indemnification and advancement of expenses existing pursuant to
             this Section B of Article VII with respect to any acts or omissions
             occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

         The directors and officers of Jarden are insured (subject to certain
exceptions and deductions) against liabilities which they may incur in their
capacity as such including liabilities under the Securities Act, under liability
insurance policies carried by Jarden.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS

         A.    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
                    being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
                    statement:

                    (i)    To include any prospectus required by Section
                           10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
                    (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                           arising after the effective date of the registration
                           statement (or the most recent post-effective
                           amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
                           aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                           information set forth in the registration statement.
                           Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
                           decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
                           total dollar value of securities offered would not
                           exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
                           from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
                           offering range may be reflected in the form of
                           prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
                           424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
                           and price represent no more than a 20 percent change
                           in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
                           the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
                           effective registration statement;
                    (iii)  To include any material information with respect to
                           the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
                           the registration statement or any material change to
                           such information in the registration statement;

               provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not
               apply if the information required to be included in a
               post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
               periodic reports filed by Jarden pursuant to Section 13 or
               Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
               reference in the registration statement.

               (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
                    Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
                    deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
                    securities offered therein, and the offering of such
                    securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
                    bona fide offering thereof.

               (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                    amendment any of the securities being registered which
                    remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

         B.    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
               of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
               filing of Jarden's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
               Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by
               reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a

                                      132


               new registration statement relating to the securities offered
               therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
               be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         C.    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
               Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
               controlling persons of Jarden pursuant to the foregoing
               provisions, or otherwise, Jarden has been advised that in the
               opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
               policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
               unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
               against such liabilities (other than the payment by Jarden of
               expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
               person of Jarden in the successful defense of any action, suit or
               proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
               person in connection with the securities being registered, Jarden
               will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
               settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
               appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
               indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
               the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
