a timely manner to continue coverage under the Company’s health and dental plans under COBRA. 

  
 4 








 (b) Disability. 

(i) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder, upon notice to the Executive, in the event that
the Executive becomes disabled during his employment through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result, is unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder, notwithstanding the provision of any reasonable accommodation, for one hundred and eighty (180) days during any period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive calendar days. In the event of such termination, and
provided that the Executive satisfies in full all of the conditions set forth in Section 5(g) hereof, then, in addition to Final Compensation (which, other than business expenses described in 14(g)(iv) and the employee benefits payable pursuant
to the terms of the applicable Employee Benefit Plans, shall be paid to the Executive within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination), the Company shall provide the Executive the following: (A) The Company will pay the Executive
a Final Pro-Rated Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, payable at the time annual bonuses are paid to Company executives generally under its executive incentive plan or, if later, on the first regularly scheduled
Company payday for executives that follows the expiration of sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination (subject to Section 5(g) hereof), (B) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will pay to the Executive an amount equal
to the full premium cost of health and dental plan coverage for Executive and his qualified beneficiaries on a taxable basis for twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination or until the date the Executive and his qualified
beneficiaries cease to be eligible for coverage continuation under COBRA, whichever is less; provided, however, that in order to be eligible for the Company’s payments hereunder the Executive and each qualified beneficiary must elect in a
timely manner to continue coverage under the Company’s health and dental plans under COBRA. (C) In the event that the Company had not provided the Executive the opportunity to participate in a long-term disability insurance plan, and
provided that the Executive satisfies in full the condition set forth in Section 5(g)(i) hereof, the Company will continue to pay the Executive the Base Salary from the Date of Termination until the expiration of six (6) months thereafter
or, if earlier, until the date the Executive recovers sufficiently from his illness or injury that he would be capable of resuming work on a substantially full-time basis (the “Recovery Date”), with payments commencing on the first
regularly scheduled Company payday for executives that follows the expiration of sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination (subject to Section 5(g)(i) hereof), but with the first payment retroactive to the day immediately following
the Date of Termination.

 (ii) The Board may designate another employee to act in the Executive’s
place during any period of the Executive’s disability. Notwithstanding any such designation, the Executive shall continue to receive compensation and benefits in accordance with Sections 4(a) through 4(e) of this Agreement, subject to the terms
and conditions of, and to the extent permitted by, any plans, policies, agreements and other documents to which reference is made therein (collectively, the “Plan Documents”), while his disability continues until the Executive
becomes eligible for disability income benefits under any disability plan in which he is a participant as a result of his employment with the Company or until he recovers sufficiently to resume his duties and responsibilities hereunder (provided he
does so within the aforesaid one hundred and eighty (180) days or such longer period as the Board in its discretion may provide) or until the termination of his employment, whichever shall first occur. If, while his employment hereunder
continues, the Executive is receiving disability income benefits under any such disability plan, the Executive shall not be eligible to receive the Base Salary, but shall continue to be eligible for payments and benefits in accordance with Sections
4(b) through 4(e) of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent permitted by, the Plan Documents, until the earlier to occur of his recovery or the termination of his employment under this Agreement. 

(iii) If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled through any illness, injury,
accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature so as to be unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to a medical
examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or his duly appointed guardian, if any, has no reasonable objection to determine whether the Executive is so disabled and such determination shall for the purposes of this
Agreement be conclusive of the issue. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit to such medical examination, the Company’s determination of the issue shall be binding on the Executive.

employment hereunder for Cause at any time upon notice to the Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall be limited to: (i) Executive’s indictment
for, being charged with or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, (A) a felony or (B) any other crime involving fraud or material financial dishonesty or (C) any other crime involving moral turpitude that would be reasonably

former employer’s consent); provided that Executive has been provided with written notification of any of the foregoing and has been given five (5) days to present any mitigating, corrective or clarifying information to the Board; or
(vi) the Executive’s material breach or violation of those provisions of this Agreement, including those setting forth the Executive’s obligations with respect to confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation unless corrected

 (g) Conditions. The Executive’s eligibility to receive and retain any
“Post-Employment Compensation” (meaning any and all compensation, of any kind, provided in accordance with the applicable provision of Section 5 of this Agreement in connection with or following termination of employment,
exclusive of Final Compensation) is subject to full satisfaction of all of the following as well as the covenant of confidentiality set forth in Section 7 below and the assignment of rights to Intellectual Property (as hereafter defined). The
conditions to receipt of Post-Employment Compensation are as follows: 
 (i) The Executive’s execution and
return, to the person designated by the Company to receive notices on its behalf in accordance with Section 19 hereof, of a separation agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A that includes a timely and effective release
of claims (“Separation Agreement”), within the time period specified therein. The Separation Agreement creates legally binding obligations and the Company therefore advises the Executive to consult an attorney before signing it.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall not be required to make any payment of Post-Employment Compensation unless and until a Separation Agreement has been executed by such holder and delivered to the
Company, and the Separation Agreement has become irrevocable, all within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination; and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not be or become obligated to make any
such payment unless a Separation Agreement is so executed and delivered and the Separation Agreement has become irrevocable before the expiration of such sixty (60)-day period. The foregoing provisions relating to a Separation Agreement and any
other provisions herein relating to a Separation Agreement are not in limitation of any claims provisions contained in the LLC Agreement and the provisions of the LLC Agreement relating to releases shall apply in accordance with their terms.

 (ii) Forbearance by the Executive for twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination from
competition with the business of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates anywhere in the world where the Company or any of those Immediate Affiliates is doing business (the “Restricted Area”), whether as owner, partner, investor,
consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, in order to satisfy this condition, the Executive must forbear from engaging in any activity that is competitive, or is in preparation to engage
in competition, with the business of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates and further the Executive must forbear from working or providing services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or
without compensation, for or to any person or entity engaged in the business of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates anywhere within the Restricted Area. The business of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates is the business of the Products
and, with regard to any particular Product, all items, products and services that may be used in substitution for such Product, but only within the same sport or sports. For illustrative purposes only, competitors of the Company and its Immediate
Affiliates on the date of this Agreement include Amer Sports Corporation and Jarden Corporation and their respective subsidiaries. The foregoing condition, however, shall not fail to be met solely due to the Executive’s passive ownership of
less than 3% of the equity securities of any publicly traded company. 

  
 10 









 (iii) Forbearance by the Executive for twelve (12) months following the
Date of Termination from any direct or indirect solicitation or encouragement of any of the Customers of the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates to terminate or diminish their relationship with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates
and from any direct or indirect solicitation or encouragement of any of the Customers or Prospective Customers of the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates to conduct with himself or any other Person (as defined in Section 14 hereof) any
business or activity which such Customer or Prospective Customer conducts or could conduct with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 5(g) and Section 9 hereof, a Customer is a person or entity which
was such at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the Date of Termination and a Potential Customer is a person or entity contacted by the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates to become such at any time within twelve
(12) months prior to the Date of Termination other than by general advertisement, provided, in each case, that the Executive had contact with such Customer or Potential Customer through his employment or other associations with the Company or
had access to Confidential Information that would assist in his solicitation of such Customer or Potential Customer in competition with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates. 

(iv) Forbearance by the Executive for twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination from directly or
indirectly hiring or otherwise engaging the services of any employee, independent contractor or other agent providing services to the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates and from soliciting any such employee, independent contractor or agent
to terminate or diminish his/her/its relationship with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates; provided that this clause (iii) shall not restrict the Executive’s right to solicit prospective employees, independent contractors or
agents pursuant to a general advertisement not specifically directed at such Persons and to hire any Persons (other than any Person who was a direct report of the Executive during his employment) who respond thereto. For purposes of this
Section 5(g) and Section 9 hereof, an employee, independent contractor or agent means any Person who was performing services for the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates in such capacity at any time during the twelve (12) months
immediately preceding the Date of Termination; provided, however, that the solicitation or hiring of any independent contractor that is not an individual and provides services to multiple clients shall not be a violation of this
Section 5(g)(iv) so long as such solicitation or hiring does not cause the independent contractor to terminate or diminish its relationship with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates. 

  
 11 









 (h) Timing of Payments and Section 409A. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at the time of the Executive’s termination of
employment, the Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined below, any and all amounts payable under this Section 5 on account of such separation from service that constitute deferred compensation and would (but for this
provision) be payable within six (6) months following the date of termination, shall instead be paid on the next business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period or, if earlier, upon the Executive’s death; except
(A) to the extent of amounts that do not constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(b) (including without limitation by reason of the safe harbor set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), as determined by the Company in its reasonable good faith discretion); (B) benefits that qualify as excepted welfare benefits pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5); or (C) other
amounts or benefits that are not subject to the requirements of Section 409A. 
 (ii) For purposes of this
Agreement, all references to “termination of employment” and correlative phrases shall be construed to require a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury regulations after giving effect to
the presumptions contained therein), and the term “specified employee” means an individual determined by the Company to be a specified employee under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). 

(iii) Each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of
installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. 
 (iv)
Any reimbursement for expenses that would constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be subject to the following additional rules: (i) no reimbursement of any such expense shall affect the Executive’s
right to reimbursement of any such expense in any other taxable year; (ii) reimbursement of the expense shall be made, if at all, promptly, but not later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was
incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. 
 (v) In no event shall the Company have any liability relating to the failure or alleged failure of any payment or benefit under and in accordance with this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the

 6. Effect of Termination. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to any

 (a)
Provision by the Company of Final Compensation, if any, to which the Executive is entitled and Post-Employment Compensation, if any, which the Executive earns under the applicable termination provision of Section 5 shall constitute the entire
obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder following termination of his employment by the Company; provided that the Executive’s rights with respect to any equity or other incentive awards approved by the Board shall be governed by

 (b) Except for health and dental plan participation continued in accordance with COBRA, the
Executive’s participation in Employee Benefit Plans shall terminate pursuant to the terms of the applicable Plan Documents based on the Date of Termination without regard to any Post-Employment Compensation earned by the Executive following the

desirable to accomplish the purposes of other surviving provisions, including without limitation the conditions to receipt of Post-Employment Compensation set forth in Section 5(g) and the obligations of the Executive under Sections 7 and 8
hereof. The Executive recognizes that, except as expressly provided in Section 5(d) and 5(e) with respect to Post-Employment Compensation earned in accordance with Section 5(g), as expressly provided in Section 5(f) with respect to
Base Salary for any notice period waived or as expressly provided in Section 11, no compensation is earned after termination of employment. 
 7. Confidential Information. 
 (a) The Executive acknowledges that the
Company and its Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information (as defined in Section 14 hereof); that the Executive may develop Confidential Information for the Company or its Affiliates; and that the Executive may learn of
Confidential Information during the course of employment. The Executive will comply with the policies and procedures of the Company and its Affiliates for protecting Confidential Information and shall not disclose to any Person or use, other than as
required by applicable law or for the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company and its Affiliates, any Confidential Information obtained by the Executive incident to his employment or other association with the Company or
any of its Affiliates. The Executive understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination. 
 (b) All documents, records, tapes and other media of every kind and description relating to the business, present or otherwise, of the Company or any of its Affiliates and any copies, in whole or in part,
thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by the Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive shall safeguard all Documents and shall surrender to the Company at the
time his employment terminates, or at such earlier time or times as the CEO or the Board or its designee may specify, all Documents and all other property of the Company and its Affiliates then in the Executive’s possession or control.

 8. Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property. The Executive shall promptly and
fully disclose all Intellectual Property (as defined in Section 14 hereof) to the Company. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) the Executive’s full right, title and
interest in and to all Intellectual Property. The Executive agrees to execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without limitation the execution and
delivery of instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the Intellectual
Property. The Executive will not charge the Company for time spent in complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works that the Executive creates during the course of his employment by the Company and which pertain to the business of the
Company or any of its Affiliates or are suggested by any work performed by the Executive for the Company or any of its Affiliates or make use of Confidential Information shall be considered “work made for hire” and, upon creation, shall be
owned exclusively by the Company or its applicable Affiliate. 
 9. Restricted Activities. The Executive agrees that
certain restrictions on his activities during his employment are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates: 

(a) While the Executive is employed by the Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, compete with the business of the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates anywhere in the Restricted Area or
undertake any planning for competition with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, the Executive agrees not to engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or indirectly competitive or
potentially competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates as conducted or under consideration at any time during the Executive’s employment or to provide services in any capacity to a Person which is a
competitor of the Company or any of its Affiliates. The business of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates is the business of the Products and, with regard to any particular Product, all items, products and services that may be used in
substitution for such Product, but only within the same sport or sports. For illustrative purposes only, competitors of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates on the date of this Agreement include Amer Sports Corporation and Jarden Corporation and
their respective subsidiaries. The foregoing condition, however, shall not fail to be met solely due to the Executive’s passive ownership of less than 3% of the equity securities of any publicly traded company. 

(b) The Executive agrees that, while he is employed by the Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of
Termination, and excluding any activities undertaken on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the course of his duties, he will not directly or indirectly solicit or encourage any Customer of the Company or any of its Immediate
Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates; or directly or indirectly solicit or encourage any Customer or Potential Customer of the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates to conduct
with any Person any business or activity which such Customer or Potential Customer conducts or could conduct with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates. 

  
 14 









 (c) The Executive agrees that, while he is employed by the Company, and for a period of
twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, excluding any activities undertaken on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the course of his duties , he will not directly or indirectly hire or otherwise engage the services
of any employee, independent contractor or other agent providing services to the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates or solicit any such employee, independent contractor or agent to terminate or diminish his/her/its relationship with the
Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates; provided that this Section 9(c) shall not restrict the Executive’s right to solicit prospective employees, independent contractors or agents pursuant to a general advertisement not specifically
directed at such Persons and to hire any Persons (other than any Person who was a direct report of the Executive during his employment) who respond thereto and (2) that the solicitation or hiring of any independent contractor that is not an
individual and provides services to multiple clients shall not be a violation of this Section 9(c) so long as such solicitation or hiring does not cause the independent contractor to terminate or diminish its relationship with the Company or
any of its Immediate Affiliates. 
 (d) The Executive agrees that during his employment by the Company he shall not publish any
work that disparages the Company or any of its Affiliates, their management or their business or the Products. 
 10.
Enforcement of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof. The Executive
agrees that those restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. The
Executive further acknowledges that, were he to breach any of the covenants contained in Sections 7, 8 or 9 hereof, the damage to the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparable. The Executive therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to
any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of said covenants, without having to post bond. The parties further agree that, in
the event that any provision of Section 7, 8 or 9 hereof shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of
activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

11. Success Bonus. In the event of a Change of Control, the Executive will be eligible to receive a success bonus, determined as
follows (the “Success Bonus”): 
 (a) If, at the time of a Change of Control, the Adjusted Total Enterprise
Value is equal to or greater than One Billion One Hundred Million Dollars ($1,100,000,000), the Executive will be paid a success bonus in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) less the amount of the Target Bonus (if any)
previously paid pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(A) hereof. 

  
 15 









 (b) If, at the time of a Change of Control, the Adjusted Total Enterprise Value is equal to
or greater than One Billion Two Hundred Million Dollars ($1,200,000,000), the Executive will be paid a success bonus (in addition to the success bonus described in Section 11(a)) in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) less the
amount of the Target Bonus (if any) previously paid pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(A) hereof. 
 Any Success Bonus earned hereunder will be
paid within sixty (60) days following the date of the Change of Control, subject to (i) the Executive’s continued employment through the date of the Change of Control, (ii) the termination of the Executive’s employment by
the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason during the four (4) month period preceding a Change of Control or (iii) the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for
Good Reason, in either case on or after, or during the four (4) month period preceding, a Partial Sale that renders the Executive’s services hereunder no longer necessary as determined by the CEO or the Board. 

12. Conflicting Agreements. The Executive hereby represents and warrants that the execution of this Agreement and the performance
of his obligations hereunder will not breach or be in conflict with any other agreement to which the Executive is a party or is bound and that the Executive is not now subject to any covenants against competition or similar covenants or any court
order or other legal obligation that would affect the performance of his obligations hereunder. 
 13. Indemnification.
To the fullest extent permitted by the indemnification provisions of the laws of the state or jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation in effect from time to time, and subject to the conditions thereof, the Company shall (i) indemnify
the Executive, as a director and officer of the Company or a trustee or fiduciary of an employee benefit plan of the Company against all liabilities and reasonable expenses that the Executive may incur in any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, because the Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company or a trustee or fiduciary of such employee benefit plan, and
(ii) pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses upon submission of appropriate documentation incurred by the Executive in the defense of any proceeding to which the Executive is a party because the Executive is or was a director or officer of
the Company or a trustee or fiduciary of such employee benefit plan, including an advancement of such expenses to the extent permitted by applicable law, subject to the Executive’s execution of any legally required repayment undertaking. The
preceding indemnification right shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights to indemnification to which Executive may be entitled under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company in effect from time to time. The
indemnification rights of the Executive in this Section 13 are referred to below as the “Indemnification Provisions.” The rights of the Executive under the Indemnification Provisions shall survive the cessation of the
Executive’s employment with the Company. The Company shall maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, or an equivalent errors and omissions liability insurance policy, covering Executive with scope, exclusions,
amounts and deductibles no less favorable to the insured than those applicable to the Company’s senior officers and directors on the Effective Date, or any more favorable as may be available to any other director or senior executive of the
Company, while the Executive is employed with the Company and thereafter until the sixth anniversary of the Date of Termination.

 EXHIBIT A 
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT & RELEASE OF CLAIMS 
 This Separation
Agreement & Release of Claims (hereinafter referred to as this “Release of Claims”) sets forth the understanding between Easton-Bell Sports, Inc. (the “Company”) and Timothy P. Mayhew (the

the Executive his Annual Bonus for the fiscal year ending [DATE]1, in the amount of [AMOUNT], at such time when bonuses for the fiscal year are payable to executives of the Company generally, and in all events within sixty (60) days following the Date of
Termination.]2 [In addition, the Executive will remain
entitled to the following benefits payable pursuant to the terms of the Employee Benefit Plans maintained by the Company and its Affiliates: [Describe].]3 The Executive agrees that, within sixty (60) days of the Date of Termination, he will submit his final expense
reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses he incurred through the Date of Termination, if any, for which he seeks reimbursement, and, in accordance with Company policy, reasonable substantiation and documentation for the same. The
Company will reimburse the Executive for his authorized and documented expenses pursuant to its regular business practice. 

  

	2.	 In consideration of the Executive’s acceptance of this Release of Claims and subject to his meeting in full his obligations under this Release of

	 	a.	The Company shall pay the Executive compensation for a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, at the rate of one-twelfth of [insert
current Base Salary] [plus one-twelfth of [insert current Target Bonus]]4 per month, commencing on the first regular Company payday for executives that follows the expiration of sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination,5 but with the first payment being retroactive to the day immediately
following the Date of Termination. 

  

	1 	Insert date that prior fiscal year ended. 


	2 	To be included if any Annual Bonus for the fiscal year preceding that in which the Date of Termination occurs has been earned but not yet paid. For the avoidance of
doubt, this provision will only be included if a bonus has been earned pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Employment Agreement and such bonus has not yet been paid. 


	3 	To be included if the Executive is entitled to any benefits pursuant to the terms of the Employee Benefit Plans of the Company or any of its Affiliates.



	4 	To be included only if termination occurs prior to the date of a Liquidity Event. 


	5 	Payment schedule to be modified as described in Section 5(h) if the Executive is a “specified employee” at the time of the Date of Termination.










	 	b.	To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall pay the Executive an amount equal to the full premium cost of health and dental plan coverage for Executive and his
qualified beneficiaries on a taxable basis until the earliest to occur of (1) the expiration of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, (2) the date the Executive becomes eligible for participation in health and dental
plans of another employer or (3) the date the Executive ceases to be eligible for participation under the Company’s health and dental plans under COBRA; provided, however, that, in order to be eligible for the Company’s
payments hereunder, the Executive and each of his qualified beneficiaries must elect in a timely manner to continue coverage under the Company’s health and dental plans under COBRA. Except as otherwise provided under the Section 2(b) [or
with respect to benefits accrued prior to the Date of Termination and described in Section 1]6, the Executive’s participation in all Employee Benefit Plans will end as of the Date of Termination, in accordance with the terms of those plans. 


 

	3.	The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments provided under Sections 1 and 2 of this Release of Claims are inclusive of and in complete satisfaction of any
and all compensation due to him from the Company, whether under the Employment Agreement, for services provided to the Company or otherwise, through the Date of Termination and that, except as expressly provided under this Release of Claims, no
further compensation or benefits are owed or will be paid to him. All payments made by the Company under this Release of Claims shall be reduced by any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law and all other
lawful deductions authorized by the Executive. 

  

	4.	[The Executive will continue to be eligible to receive a Success Bonus in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, Section 11 of the Employment
Agreement.]7

otherwise entitled, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Executive, on his own behalf and on behalf of his heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, representatives and
assigns, and all others connected with or claiming through the Executive, hereby releases and forever discharges the Company and its subsidiaries and other Affiliates and all of their respective past, present and future officers, directors,
trustees, shareholders, employees, agents, employee benefit plans, general and limited partners, members, managers, investors, joint venturers, representatives, successors and assigns, and all others connected with any of them, both individually and
in their official capacities, from any and all causes of action, rights and claims of any type or description, known or unknown, which the Executive has had in the past, now has, or might now have, through the date of his signing of this Release of
Claims, in any way related to, connected with or arising out of his employment or its termination or the Employment Agreement or pursuant to any federal, state or local law, regulation or other requirement (including without limitation Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and/or the wage and hour, wage payment
and fair employment practices statute of the state or states in which he was previously employed by the Company or otherwise had a relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates, each as amended from time to time). This

	7.	In signing this Release of Claims, the Executive acknowledges his understanding that he may consider the terms of this Release of Claims for up to [twenty-one
(21)/forty-five (45)]8 days from the date he receives it
and that he may not sign this Release of Claims until after the date his employment with the Company terminates. The Executive also acknowledges that he is advised by the Company to seek the advice of an attorney prior to signing this Release of
Claims; that he has had sufficient time to consider this Release of Claims and to consult with an attorney, if he wished to do so, or to consult with any other person of his choosing before signing; and that he is signing this Release of Claims
voluntarily and with a full understanding of its terms. The Executive further acknowledge that, in signing this Release of Claims, he has not relied on any promises or representations, express or implied, that are not set forth expressly in the

 Schedule 1 
 The conditions to receipt of Post-Employment Compensation are as follows: 
 (i) Compliance with
(A) the covenant of confidentiality set forth in Section 7 of the Employment Agreement and (B) the covenants respecting assignment of rights to Intellectual Property set forth in Section 8 of the Employment Agreement. 

(ii) Forbearance by the Executive for twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination from competition with the business of the Company and its
Immediate Affiliates anywhere in the world where the Company or any of those Immediate Affiliates is doing business (the “Restricted Area”), whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise.
Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, in order to satisfy this condition, the Executive must forbear from engaging in any activity that is competitive, or is in preparation to engage in competition, with the business of the Company and
its Immediate Affiliates and further the Executive must forbear from working or providing services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, for or to any person or entity
engaged in the business of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates anywhere within the Restricted Area. The business of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates is the business of the Products and, with regard to any particular Product, all items,
products and services that may be used in substitution for such Product, but only within the same sport or sports. For illustrative purposes only, competitors of the Company and its Immediate Affiliates on the date of this Agreement include Amer
Sports Corporation and Jarden Corporation and their respective subsidiaries. The foregoing condition, however, shall not fail to be met solely due to the Executive’s passive ownership of less than 3% of the equity securities of any publicly
traded company. 
 (iii) Forbearance by the Executive for twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination from any direct or indirect
solicitation or encouragement of any of the Customers of the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates to terminate or diminish their relationship with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates and from any direct or indirect solicitation or
encouragement of any of the Customers or Prospective Customers of the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates to conduct with himself or any other Person any business or activity which such Customer or Prospective Customer conducts or could
conduct with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates. For purposes of this clause (iii), a Customer is a person or entity which was such at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the Date of Termination and a Potential Customer
is a person or entity contacted by the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates to become such at any time within twelve (12) months prior to the Date of Termination other than by general advertisement, provided, in each case, that the
Executive had contact with such Customer or Potential Customer through his employment or other associations with the Company or had access to Confidential Information that would assist in his solicitation of such Customer or Potential Customer in
competition with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates. 







 (iv) Forbearance by the Executive for twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination from
directly or indirectly hiring or otherwise engaging the services of any employee, independent contractor or other agent providing services to the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates and from soliciting any such employee, independent
contractor or agent to terminate or diminish his/her/its relationship with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates; provided that this clause (iii) shall not restrict the Executive’s right to solicit prospective employees,
independent contractors or agents pursuant to a general advertisement not specifically directed at such Persons and to hire any Persons (other than any Person who was a direct report of the Executive during his employment) who respond thereto. For
purposes of this clause (iv), an employee, independent contractor or agent means any Person who was performing services for the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates in such capacity at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately
preceding the Date of Termination; provided, however, that the solicitation or hiring of any independent contractor that is not an individual and provides services to multiple clients shall not be a violation of this clause (v) so long as such
solicitation or hiring does not cause the independent contractor to terminate or diminish its relationship with the Company or any of its Immediate Affiliates.
