                  (d) and (e). No Reporting Person, nor to the best knowledge of
each Reporting Person, any of the other persons identified in this Item 2 has,
during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding

of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result
of which any such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order

                  Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of December

Convertible Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("MV Common Stock") of the
Issuer, which is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the
same number of shares of Ordinary Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price
of $100,572,185.50. The source of funds for such purchase was Holdings' working
capital. The purchase was made in connection with the consummation of the Third
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Issuer and certain of its
subsidiaries under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code dated August
18, 2003, as amended (the "Plan of Reorganization"), and the Issuer's emergence

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

                  Holdings acquired the MV Common Stock for investment purposes
and to influence control of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement
and the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, Holdings has committed to purchase
up to an additional $5,000,000.00 of shares of MV Common Stock at a price of
$9.78 per share, upon settlement of disputed claims of certain of the Issuer's
creditors. In addition, Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire shares
of Ordinary Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, subject to the availability of such shares at prices deemed
favorable, the Issuer's business or financial condition and to other factors and
conditions the Reporting Persons deem appropriate. In the event the Reporting
Persons acquire shares of Ordinary Common Stock, such shares will automatically
be converted into the same number of shares of MV Common Stock and will not
entitle the Reporting Persons to additional voting rights. See Exhibit 4.
Alternatively, the Reporting Persons may sell all or a portion of their shares
of MV Common Stock, or shares of Ordinary Common Stock obtained upon conversion
of such shares of MV Common Stock, in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, subject to the rights referred to in Item 6. Holdings has
registration rights with respect to the shares of Ordinary Common Stock
underlying its shares of MV Common Stock. See Exhibit 5.

                  Holders of MV Common Stock are entitled to elect, and to
remove and replace, four (4) out of nine (9) members of the board of directors
of the Issuer ("Class 1 Directors"). The Reporting Persons are entitled to cast
100% of the votes in any election of, or any vote to remove or replace, Class 1
Directors. Holders of MV Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock, voting together
as a single class, are entitled to elect, and to remove and replace, an
additional two (2) members of the Issuer's board of directors ("Class 2
Directors"). The Reporting Persons are entitled to cast 50% of the votes
entitled to be cast in any election of, or any vote to remove or replace, Class
2 Directors. See Exhibit 4. The current Class 1 Directors are Steven J. Shulman,

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  (a) and (b). As of the date hereof, Holdings beneficially owns
8,332,726 shares of Ordinary Common Stock (which may be obtained at any time by
conversion of shares of MV Common Stock held by Holdings), which constitute
23.6% of the Issuer's shares of Ordinary Common Stock (assuming 26,982,854
additional shares of Ordinary Common Stock outstanding). The shares of MV Common
Stock beneficially owned by Holdings entitle Holdings to 50% of the voting
power of the MV Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock voting together as a
single class and the power to vote for the election of directors of the Issuer
as described in Item 4.

                  All of the shares beneficially owned by Holdings may be deemed
as beneficially owned by each of Partners, Partners GP LP, Partners GP and Onex.
As discussed above, such shares constitute 23.6% of the Issuer's shares of
Ordinary Common Stock (assuming 26,982,854 additional shares of Ordinary Common
Stock outstanding). The shares of MV Common Stock beneficially owned by such
Reporting Persons entitle such Reporting Persons to 50% of the voting power of
the MV Common Stock and Ordinary Common Stock voting together as a single class
and the power to vote for the election of directors of the Issuer as described
in Item 4. Mr. Schwartz may be deemed a beneficial owner of the shares of
Ordinary Common Stock beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons but
disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

                  (c)      On January 5, 2004, Holdings sold 82,854 shares of MV
Common Stock, for a price of $12.07 per share, in a private transaction. Except
as described herein and in Item 3, no Reporting Person nor, to the best
knowledge of each Reporting Person, any person identified in Item 2, has
effected any transaction in shares of Ordinary Common Stock during the preceding
60 days.

                  (d)      To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no
person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares
of Ordinary Common Stock or MV Common Stock, except that limited partners of the
Reporting Persons may receive distributions including a portion of such
dividends or proceeds.

                  (e)      Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangement, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
the Securities of the Issuer.

                  To the best of knowledge of the Reporting Persons, except as
set forth herein or in the Exhibits filed herewith, there are no contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the
persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to
any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting
of any securities of the Issuer, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss or
the giving or withholding of proxies except as set forth in the other items
hereof and the Exhibits, and except as follows:

                  The partnership agreement of Partners contains provisions
whereby the partnership's general partner, Partners GP LP, will receive a
certain percentage of net income, if any, derived from the partnership's
investments.

                  In addition, pursuant to the Co-Investment Agreement dated as
of January 5, 2004 among (i) R(2) Investments, LDC, Amalgamated Gadget, L.P. and
Scepter Holdings, Inc. (collectively "R(2)") and (ii) Holdings, Onex and
Partners (collectively the "Onex Group"), R(2) and the Onex Group agreed that
neither party would commence any tender offer for shares of Ordinary Common
Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or
which participate in dividends or distributions upon liquidation with, Ordinary
Common Stock, unless whichever of the Onex Group or R(2) desires to commence a
tender offer affords the other the opportunity to participate in such tender
offer as a bidder in proportion to the relative proportion of shares of Ordinary
Common Stock and MV Common Stock beneficially owned, or in which an economic
interest is held, by the Onex Group and R(2), respectively. See Exhibit 2.

                  In addition, pursuant to the Issuer's amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, until the earlier of January 5, 2007 and the first
date on which the equity interest in the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons
and their affiliates falls below certain specified levels, all holders of common
stock of the Issuer have the right to participate in certain sales of MV Common
Stock by the Reporting Persons and the Reporting Persons have the right to
participate in certain sales of Ordinary Common Stock by certain other
stockholders. See Exhibit 4.
