In the event of the termination of Executive's employment for any reason, or such earlier time as Employer may request, Executive will deliver to Employer all of Employer's property and documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium pertaining to Executive's employment                            with Employer (except for that which is personal to Executive), and Executive will not take with Executive any such property, documents or data of any description or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information. |
|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| **12.** | Non-Disparagement. During the Employment Period and thereafter during the Restriction Period, Executive will not make any statement, written or oral, whether expressed as a fact, |
|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

opinion or otherwise, to any person (or induce any third party to make any such statement) which disparages, impugns, maligns, defames, libels, slanders or otherwise casts in an unfavorable light Employer or any officer, director, shareholder or employee of Employer.

| **13.** | Failure to Comply with Covenants. |
|---------|-----------------------------------|

|   | **(a)** | Without limiting the damages available to Employer, in the event that Executive fails to comply with any of the covenants in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, to the extent applicable, following Executive’s termination of employment, and such failure continues following delivery of notice thereof by Employer to Executive,                            all rights of Executive and any person claiming under or through Executive to the payments and benefits described in Section 6(f) shall thereupon terminate and no person shall be entitled thereafter to receive any payments or benefits hereunder; provided, however, that Executive shall not have the option of foregoing such payments and benefits in order to be relieved of compliance with such covenants. |
|--------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **(b)** | Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and obligations of Executive described in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants and obligations will cause Employer irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not                            available at law. Therefore, Executive agrees that Employer shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain Executive from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations referred to in this Section 13. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies Employer                            may have at law or in equity. If Employer does not prevail in obtaining any such injunctive relief, Employer shall reimburse Executive for any legal expenses incurred by Executive in defending against the imposition of such injunctive relief. |
|--------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| **14.** | Intellectual Property. During the Employment Period, Executive will disclose to Employer all ideas, inventions and business plans developed by Executive during such period which relate directly or indirectly to the Business of Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including without                            limitation, any process, operation, product or improvement which may be proprietary, patentable or copyrightable. Executive agrees that all of the foregoing will be the property of Employer and that Executive will at Employer's request and cost do whatever is necessary to secure the rights thereto by patent, copyright or otherwise for Employer. |
|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| **15.** | Assignability; Merger or Consolidation: Assumption of Agreement. |
|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **(a)** | The obligations of Executive hereunder are personal in nature and may not be delegated, and Executive may not, without Employer's written consent, assign, transfer, convey, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any interest herein. Any such attempted delegation or disposition shall be null and                            void and without effect. |
|--------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **(b)** | Employer and Executive agree that this Agreement and all of Employer's rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned or transferred by Employer to any other party that purchases all or substantially all of the business or assets of Employer, provided that the acquiring party agrees or its otherwise legally obligated to                            perform |
|--------|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

Employer’s obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Employer would be required to perform it if no such assignment or transfer had taken place. Failure of Employer to secure such agreement or legal obligation prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment or transfer shall entitle Executive to compensation from Employer in the same            amount and on the same terms as Executive would be entitled hereunder if Employer had terminated Executive’s employment Without Cause as contemplated by Section 6(c) above, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such assignment or transfer becomes effective shall be deemed both the date of the Notice of Termination and the Date of Termination.

| **16.** | Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement (including the Attachments hereto) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all promises, representations, understandings, arrangements and prior agreements                            relating to such subject matter (including, without limitation, those between Executive and any other person or entity) are merged into and superseded by this Agreement, and the terms of any prior employment agreement or arrangement shall, from and after the date of this Agreement, be of no further force or effect. |
|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| **17.** | Indemnification. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, Employer agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Executive to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all liabilities, costs, claims and expenses, including without limitation all costs and                            expenses incurred in defense of litigation, including attorneys' fees, arising out of the employment of Executive hereunder, except to the extent arising out of or based upon (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Executive, (b) a violation of applicable law, or (c) any matter in which Executive is adverse to Employer or its direct or indirect parents, affiliates, subsidiaries. Costs and expenses incurred by Executive in defense of litigation, including                            attorneys' fees, shall be paid by Employer in advance of the final disposition of such litigation upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Executive to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by Employer under this Agreement or applicable law. |
|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| **18.** | Compliance with Code Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Parties hereto intend that this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all rules, regulations and other similar guidance issued thereunder ("Code Section 409A"). The Parties agree that                            this Agreement shall at all times be interpreted and construed in a manner to comply with Code Section 409A and that should any provision be found not in compliance with Code Section 409A, the parties are contractually obligated to execute any and all amendments to this Agreement deemed necessary and required by Employer's legal counsel to achieve compliance with Code Section 409A unless such action results in substantial additional costs to Employer. By execution                            and delivery of this Agreement, Executive irrevocably waives any objections Executive may have to the amendments required by Code Section 409A. The Parties also agree that in no event shall any payment required to be made pursuant to this Agreement be made to Employee unless compliant with Code Section 409A. In the event amendments are required to make this Agreement compliant with Code Section 409A, Employer shall use its best efforts to provide Executive with                            substantially the same benefits and payments Executive would have been entitled to pursuant to this Agreement had Code Section 409A not applied, but in a manner that is compliant with Code Section 409A and does not result in substantial additional costs to Employer. The manner in which the immediately preceding sentence shall be implemented shall be the subject of good faith negotiations between the Parties. |

| **19.** | Miscellaneous. |
|---------|----------------|

|   | **(a)** | Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be held within the State of Delaware, and except to the extent inconsistent with this Agreement, shall be conducted in accordance with the                            Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect at the time of the arbitration and otherwise in accordance with principles which would be applied by a court of law or equity. The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both Employer and Executive. If the Parties cannot agree on an acceptable arbitrator, the dispute shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators, one appointed by each of the Parties and the third appointed by the other                            two arbitrators. All expenses of arbitration shall be borne by the Party who incurs the expense or, in the case of joint expenses, by both Parties in equal portions, except that, in the event Executive substantially prevails on the principal issues of such dispute or controversy, all such expenses shall be borne by Employer. Notwithstanding the above, however, because time is of the essence, whenever a violation or threatened violation of the covenants contained in                            Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 is alleged, then the Parties agree that the enforcement of such covenants and any request for injunctive relief pursuant to Section 13 shall be excepted from the provisions of this Section 19(a). |
|--------|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **(b)** | Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. |
|--------|---------|-----------------------------------------|

|   | **(i)** | This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of law principles thereof) applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, and in any action or other proceeding that may be brought arising out of, in connection with or by reason of this                            Agreement, the laws of the State of Delaware shall be applicable and shall govern to the exclusion of the laws of any other forum. |
|--------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **(ii)** | Any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 19(a) shall be brought exclusively in a court of the State of Delaware or in a Federal court located within the State of Delaware, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Executive and Employer irrevocably consent to the                            exclusive jurisdiction of those courts and Executive hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of Delaware. Executive and Employer irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection based on lack of jurisdiction, improper venue or*forum non conveniens*, which either may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any action or proceeding in such jurisdiction in respect to this Agreement or any                            transaction related hereto. Executive and Employer acknowledge and agree that any service of legal process by mail in the manner provided for notices under this Agreement constitutes proper legal service of process under applicable law in any action or proceeding under or in respect to this Agreement. |
|--------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **(c)** | Taxes. Employer may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other applicable taxes as shall be required by law. |

|   | **(d)** | Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 18 above, no provision of |

this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such modification, waiver or discharge is approved by the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof. No waiver by any Party hereto at any time of any breach by any other Party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of            similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between the Parties hereto or from any failure by any Party hereto to assert its rights hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions.

|   | **(e)** | Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby. Specifically, in the event any                            part of the covenants set forth in Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts thereof shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event that any provision of Sections 7, 8, 9, or 10 is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overbroad as written, Executive specifically agrees that the court should modify such                            provision in order to make it enforceable, and that a court should view each such provision as severable and enforce those severable provisions deemed reasonable by such court. |

Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered under this Agreement shall be (i) in writing, (ii) delivered personally, by courier service or by certified or registered mail, first-class postage prepaid and return receipt requested, (iii) deemed to have been received                            on the date of delivery or on the third business day after the mailing thereof, and (iv) addressed as follows (or to such other address as the Party entitled to notice shall hereafter designate in accordance with the terms hereof): |

REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY, INC.

GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS

In consideration of the payment by Remington Arms Company, Inc. ("Remington") of the severance payments and benefits to me pursuant to that certain 2008 Executive Employment Agreement dated ______________, 2008 ("Agreement"), I, __________________, hereby agree to and do finally            and completely release and forever discharge Remington and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and their employees, shareholders, officers, directors or agents (collectively "Releasees") from any and all liabilities, claims, obligations, demands and causes of action of any and every kind or nature whatsoever, in law, equity or otherwise, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, which I now have,            own or hold, or claim to have, own or hold, or which I may have, own or hold, or claim to have, own or hold, against each or any of the Releasees arising from or relating to my employment with Remington and termination of that employment.

This General Release and Waiver of Claims ("Release") includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, claims arising under any provision of federal, state or local law, any federal, state or local anti-discrimination statute, ordinance or regulation, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (the "ADEA"), the Americans with            Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Act 1991, or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, all as amended, or any similar federal, state or local statutes, ordinances or regulations, or claims in the nature of a breach of contract, claims for wrongful discharge, emotional distress, defamation, fraud or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, tort and wage or benefit claims (other            than the payments to which I am entitled under the Agreement); provided, however, that this Release does not include actions brought to enforce the terms of this Release, including any right to the termination payments and benefits described in the Agreement, or to secure benefits under any other employee benefit plan or program of Remington of which I am a participant unless expressly excluded by the Agreement. If I violate the terms of this Release, I agree to pay the Releasees'            costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

I acknowledge that, among other rights subject to this Release, I am hereby waiving and releasing any rights I may have under the ADEA, that this Release is knowing and voluntary, and that the consideration given for this Release is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled as an employee of Remington.

As provided by law, I have been advised by Remington to carefully consider the matters outlined in this Release and to consult with such professional advisors as I deem appropriate, including a lawyer of my own choice. I acknowledge I have had at least twenty-one (21) days from my receipt of this Release to consider the terms and conditions set forth herein, and 1 understand that I have seven (7) days            following my execution of this Release to revoke my signature, in which event this Release shall not be effective or binding on the parties, and I will not receive any of the payments or benefits set forth in Section 6(f) of the Agreement. I further understand fully and acknowledge the terms and consequences of this Release, and I voluntarily accept them.
