        <footnote id="F1">On June 9, 2005, the stockholders of Jarden Corporation (the &quot;Company&quot;) approved proposals at the Company's annual meeting of
stockholders that provided for, among other things, the conversion of the Series C Mandatory Convertible Participating
Preferred Stock of the Company (&quot;Series C Preferred Stock&quot;) into common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &quot;Common
Stock&quot;), and Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (&quot;Series B Preferred Stock&quot;); and, an
amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to amend the definition of &quot;related party&quot; to exclude the
Filing Persons and certain of their affiliates from the term &quot;related party.&quot; Pursuant to the terms of the certificate of
designations relating to the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock was automatically converted into fully
paid and non-assessable shares of both (a) Series B Preferred Stock and (b) Common Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be
determined by dividing a certain value per share (the &quot;Base Liquidation Value&quot;) in effect at the time of conversion, by the
conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. At issuance the Base Liquidation Value was $1,000.00 and the
conversion price was $32.00. The Base Liquidation Value and the conversion price are subject to certain adjustments as set
forth in the Certificate of Designations relating to the Series B Preferred Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The securities disclosed on this Form 4 are owned by Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(including two related limited partnerships, &quot;WP VIII&quot;). The sole general partner of WP VIII is Warburg Pincus Partners LLC,
a New York limited liability company (&quot;WP Partners LLC&quot;) and a subsidiary of Warburg Pincus &amp; Co., a New York general
partnership ( &quot;WP&quot;). Warburg Pincus LLC, a New York limited liability company (&quot;WP LLC&quot;), manages WP VIII. The securities
disclosed on this Form 4 may be deemed to be beneficially owned by WP VIII. By reason of the provisions of Rule 16a-1 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, WP Partners LLC, WP and WP LLC may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of Common Stock
held by WP VIII although WP Partners LLC, WP and WP LLC disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities except to the
extent of any indirect pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The Series B Preferred Stock has no expiration date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The Series C Preferred Stock has no expiration date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F6">The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into which a share of the Series C Preferred Stock was convertible was
determined by multiplying a certain value per share (the &quot;Liquidation Value&quot;) in effect at the time of conversion,
$1,023.72, by 0.857143 and dividing by $1,000.00. The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Series C
Preferred Stock was convertible was determined by multiplying $1,023.72 by 0.142857 and dividing by $30.00.</footnote>
