11










(b)            the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or


(c)            an Event of Default with respect to the Notes represented by such Global Note shall have occurred and be continuing and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes have requested the Company to issue Definitive Notes.


Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (a), (b) or (c) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Company and the Trustee.

No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 3.02(a).

(A)          both:


(1)            a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and



12










(2)            instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or

(c)            Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note.

(A)          if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and


(B)          if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof.

	1.	Indenture





This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 5.875% Senior Notes Due 2023 (herein called the “Notes,” which expression includes any further notes issued pursuant to Section 2.04 of the First Supplemental Indenture (as hereinafter defined) and forming a single Series therewith), issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of August 11, 2015, (herein called the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of August 11, 2015, (the “First Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), among VISTA OUTDOOR INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each of the Company’s subsidiaries signatory thereto or that becomes a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relevant to the Notes for a complete description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.


Each Note is subject to, and qualified by, all such terms as set forth in the Indenture certain of which are summarized herein and each Holder of a Note is referred to the corresponding provisions of the Indenture for a complete statement of such terms.  To the extent that there is any inconsistency between the summary provisions set forth in the Notes and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.



	2.	Interest





The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above plus Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.  The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 1, 2016 to Holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, as applicable.  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 11, 2015.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360‐day year of twelve 30‐day months.



	3.	Paying Agent and Registrar





Initially the Trustee will act as paying agent and registrar.  The Company may appoint and change any paying agent or registrar without notice.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

	5.	Amendment





Article IX of the Original Indenture sets forth the terms by which the Notes and the Indenture may be amended.

Section 4.13 of the Original Indenture sets forth the terms by which the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes if a Change of Control occurs.



	7.	Obligations Absolute





No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.



	8.	Sinking Fund





The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.



	9.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange





The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06 and 9.04 of the Original Indenture).


The Company and the Registrar shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 30 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 of the Original Indenture and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; (b) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or (c) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.



A-5











	10.	Further Issues





The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes and in accordance with the Indenture, create and issue further notes having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the first payment of interest) so as to form a single Series with the Notes.



	11.	Optional Redemption





The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, as described in Section 2.10 of the First Supplemental Indenture.



	12.	Persons Deemed Owners





The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the register maintained by the Registrar.



	13.	No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders





No present, past or future director, officer, employee, member, partner, incorporator or equityholder of the Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective direct or indirect parent companies (except for the Company or any Subsidiary in its capacity as obligor or guarantor in respect of the Notes and not in its capacity as equityholder of any Subsidiary Guarantor) shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any of the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees, this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder by accepting the Notes waives and releases all such liability.  This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.



	14.	Discharge and Defeasance





Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if it deposits with the Trustee money and/or certain specified government securities for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

Thereafter the Holder of such Note shall look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.



A-6











	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company





Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co‐paying agent may do the same with like rights.



	17.	Abbreviations





Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).



	18.	CUSIP Numbers





Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and have directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.
