 2.1 Title and
Duties. Executive shall serve as Vice Chairman of Company (or as such other senior executive position with Company as may be offered to Executive by Company’s Board of Directors (hereinafter “Board”) and which Executive, in
Executive’s reasonable discretion, may accept) and shall perform the executive level duties commensurate with such position for Company, and such other executive level duties as the Board may determine provided such duties are substantially
consistent with the executive level duties historically performed by Executive. 
  
 2.2 Full Time Efforts. Except for Executive’s involvement in the activities described in Section 2.3 below, Executive shall
devote attention and energies on a full-time basis to the above executive level duties, and Executive shall not, during the term of this Agreement, actively engage in any other for-profit business activity. 
  
 2.3 Outside Activities. Company acknowledges that
Executive has historically been involved in farming and real estate leasing and, consistent with Company’s reputation as the “World’s Foremost Outfitter”, has been actively engaged in hunting, fishing and similar activities.
Accordingly, it is understood that, during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be authorized to continue such outside activities without being in breach of his obligations as contemplated by this Section 2. 
  
 2.4 Code of Ethics. Executive shall be subject to and

Dollars ($250,000.00) per annum. Any change in base salary shall be determined by mutual agreement between Executive and the Board. 
  
 3.2 Incentive Compensation. Executive shall not be entitled to participate in any incentive compensation arrangements.
Nevertheless, and Section 11.1 

  

 
notwithstanding, Executive shall be entitled to any and all incentive compensation due him for the year 2003 under the Incentive Compensation Agreement
between Company and Executive, dated May 28, 1996. 
  
 3.3 Payment in Installments. Executive’s annual base salary shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance with Company’s general payroll practices, after withholding for all federal, state and local taxes, and
required deductions.

executives as in effect from time to time. 
  
 3.8 Excess Compensation. Executive agrees that the Board is not authorized to pay Executive compensation which is excessive and unreasonable. Accordingly, Executive agrees that if any of the compensation hereunder is finally
determined unreasonable and excessive by the Internal Revenue Service and is disallowed by the Internal Revenue Service as a deduction by Company under § 162 of the Internal Revenue Code as the same now exists or as it may be amended hereafter
from time to time, then the federal income tax deficiency and interest, or other federal tax “cost” to Company shall be determined and shall be a debt payable upon demand by Executive to Company, or if appropriate, by a reduction of
payments which would otherwise be payable hereunder to Executive. 
  
 4. Termination of Employment. Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following: 
  
 4.1 Death. Immediately upon the death of Executive. 
  

 2 

 4.2 Disability. Upon the expiration of one hundred eighty (180) days after the

Executive. 
  
 4.5 Cause. At the election
of Company, for Cause, immediately upon written notice by Company to Executive. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” for termination shall be deemed to exist by reason of any action by Executive resulting in the conviction of
Executive of any felony, or any misdemeanor involving misconduct or fraud in business activities, including breach of a fiduciary duty involving personal profit. 
  
 4.6 Mutual Agreement. At any time upon the mutual written agreement of the parties. 
  
 Upon any notice of termination pursuant to Sections 4.3 and

termination. 
  
 5. Company Owned Vehicles and/or Boats. On
or prior to the effective date of this Agreement, to the extent Executive has or had possession of Company owned automobiles and/or boats, such property shall be or has been sold by Company to Executive for its “Average Trade-In Value” as
determined in the most current version of the NADA Vehicles Pricing and Information Guide (“Guide”). For purposes of this paragraph, if such item is not included in the Guide, fair market value shall be the estimated value of such item in
an arms-length transaction between unrelated parties. 
  
 6.
Proprietary Information. The parties agree to the protection of Company’s proprietary information as follows: 
  
 6.1 Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. 
  
 a. Access. Executive acknowledges that employment with Company necessarily involves exposure
to, familiarity with, and opportunity to learn highly sensitive, confidential and proprietary information of Company and its subsidiaries, which may include, without limitation, information about products and services, markets, customers and
prospective customers, vendors and suppliers, miscellaneous business relationships, investment products, pricing, billing and collection procedures, proprietary software and other intellectual property, financial and accounting data, personnel and
compensation, data processing and communications, technical data, marketing strategies, research and development of new or improved products and services, and know-how regarding the business of Company and its products and services (collectively
referred to herein as “Confidential Information”). 
  

 3 

 b. Valuable Asset. Executive further acknowledges that the Confidential
Information is a valuable, special and unique asset of Company, such that the unauthorized disclosure or use by persons or entities outside Company would cause irreparable damage to the business of Company. Accordingly, Executive agrees that during
and after Executive’s employment with Company, until the Confidential Information becomes publicly known, Executive shall not directly or indirectly disclose to any person or entity, use for any purpose or permit the exploitation, copying or
summarizing of any Confidential Information of Company, except as specifically required in the proper performance of his duties for Company. 
  
 c. Duties. Executive agrees to take all appropriate action, whether by instruction, agreement or otherwise, to ensure the
protection, confidentiality and security of the Confidential Information and to satisfy his obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement. Prior to lecturing or publishing articles which reference the Company and its business, Executive will
provide to an officer of the Company a copy of the material to be presented for Company to review and approve in order to ensure that no Confidential Information is disclosed. 
  
 d. Confidential Relationship. Company considers its Confidential Information to constitute
“trade secrets” which are protected from unauthorized disclosure under applicable law. However, whether or not the Confidential Information constitutes trade secrets, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information is
protected from unauthorized disclosure or use due to his covenants under this Section 6 and his fiduciary duties as an Executive of Company. 
  
 e. Return of Documents. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information is and at all times shall remain
the sole and exclusive property of Company. Upon the termination of his employment with Company or upon request by Company, Executive will promptly return to Company in good condition all documents, data and records of any kind, whether in hardcopy
or electronic form, which contain any Confidential Information or which were prepared based on Confidential Information, including any and all copies thereof, as well as all materials furnished to or acquired by Executive during the course of
Executive’s employment with Company. 
  
 6.2 Development of Intellectual Property. 
  
 a. Definition of Intellectual Property. As used herein, the term “Intellectual Property” shall include, without limitation, any inventions, technological innovations, discoveries, designs, formulas,
know-how, processes, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, computer software, ideas, creations, writings and other works of authorship, theses, books, lectures, illustrations, photographs, motion pictures, scientific and mathematical
models, improvements to all such property, and all recorded material defining, describing or illustrating all such property, whether in hardcopy or electronic form. 
  
 b. Company’s Rights in Intellectual Property. Executive agrees that all right, title and
interest of every kind and nature, whether now known or unknown, in and to any Intellectual Property invented, created, written, 

  

 4 

 
developed, conceived or produced by Executive during the term of Executive’s employment with Company (i) whether using Company’s equipment,
supplies, facilities and/or Confidential Information, (ii) whether alone or jointly with others, and (iii) whether or not during normal working hours, that are within the scope of Company’s actual or anticipated business operations or that
relate to any of Company’s actual or anticipated products or services shall be the exclusive property of Company and Executive hereby assigns to Company all rights to such Intellectual Property without limitation or royalty. To the extent that
any such Intellectual Property is copyrightable, it shall be deemed to be a “work for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Laws. Consideration for such assignment is hereby acknowledged. Executive will promptly and fully disclose to
Company any and all such Intellectual Property. Executive agrees that any patent application filed by him within one year after termination of his employment is presumed to relate to an invention developed during the term of Executive’s
employment with Company and thus is the exclusive property of Company. As such, Executive agrees to disclose to Company all such patent applications. Executive hereby consents and agrees that Executive shall have no right, title, or interest of any
kind or nature in or to any item of Intellectual Property, or in or to any results and/or proceeds from any Intellectual Property. 
  
 c. Additional Actions. Executive agrees to take all reasonably necessary actions to enable Company to obtain and perfect its
rights in the Intellectual Property, including without limitation assisting Company in obtaining patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks and similar protections in the United States and all foreign countries. Executive further agrees to
assist Company in connection with any demands, reissues, oppositions, litigation, controversy or other actions involving any item of Intellectual Property. Executive agrees to undertake the foregoing obligations both during and after
Executive’s employment with Company, without charge, but at Company’s expense with respect to Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs. Executive further agrees that Company may, in its sole discretion, keep such Intellectual
Property as trade secrets, in which case Executive will comply with the Confidential Information provisions in Section 6.1 above. 
  
 6.3 Nonsolicitation/Noncompetition. 
  
 a. Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges that Company has expended and will continue to
expend considerable time, effort and resources to develop and market its products and services, that the relationships between Company and its employees, customers, prospective customers, vendors and suppliers are valuable assets of Company and key
to its success, and the employees of Company establish close professional relationships with other employees, customers, vendors and suppliers and franchisees of Company in the course of their employment with Company, all of which constitute
goodwill of Company. Executive further acknowledges that, because the Confidential Information could not practically be disregarded, providing similar services to a client or competitor of Company immediately following the termination of
Executive’s employment with Company would inherently and inevitably result in the use of Company trade secrets by Executive even if Executive were to use Executive’s best efforts to avoid using such trade secrets. 
  

 5 

 b. Scope. In recognition of the foregoing and in order to prevent the improper use
of Confidential Information and the resulting unfair competition and misappropriation of Company’s goodwill and other proprietary interests, Executive agrees that while Executive is employed by Company and for a period of 12 months after the
date of the termination of Executive’s employment with Company for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, Executive will not, directly or indirectly: 
  
 (1) Solicit the sale of products or services from, or place, accept or aid in the replacement of products
or services of, any customer of Company with whom Executive did business and had personal contact within 12 months prior to termination of Executive’s employment with Company of the type or character provided by Company to such customer during
Executive’s employment. 
  
 (2) Encourage
any vendor, business partner (as defined by Company), supplier, or customer, or franchisee of Company to curtail, sever, or alter its relationship or business with Company; or 
  
 (3) Employ, solicit for employment, or advise or recommend to any person that such person solicit for
employment or employ, any individual who is, has agreed to be, or within 12 months of such employment or solicitation has been, employed by Company. 
  
 (4) Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Section 6 shall be applicable to Executive regardless of whether
Executive engages in any such competing business activity as an individual or as a sole proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, consultant or independent contractor of any other entity. 
  
 c. Reasonable Restriction. In signing this
Agreement, Executive is fully aware of the restrictions that this Agreement places upon Executive’s future employment with someone other than Company. However, Executive understands and agrees that Executive’s continued employment by
Company, Executive’s privileged position with Company, and Executive’s access to Confidential Information of Company makes such restrictions both necessary and reasonable. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions hereby
imposed constitute reasonable protections of the legitimate business interests of Company and that they will not unduly restrict Executive’s opportunity to earn a reasonable living following termination of Executive’s employment with
Company. 
  
 6.4 Enforcement. For purposes
of this Section 6, the term Company shall include Company and all of its subsidiaries. Each of Company’s subsidiaries shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce the provisions hereof
against Executive individually or collectively with any one or more of the other subsidiaries. 
  
 6.5 Equitable Relief. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the sensitive nature of the Confidential Information and
Intellectual Property of Company referred to in this Agreement, in addition to recovery of damages and any other legal relief to which Company may be entitled in the event of Executive’s violation of this 

  

 6 

 
Agreement, Company shall also be entitled to equitable relief, including such injunctive relief as may be necessary to protect the interests of Company in
such Confidential Information and Intellectual Property and as may be necessary to specifically enforce Executive’s obligations hereunder. 
  
 7. Severability. Executive and Company intend and agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the scope of any provision of
this Agreement is too broad to be enforced as written, the court should reform such provisions to such narrower scope as it determines to be enforceable. Executive and Company further agree that if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed separate and severable and the unenforceability of any such provision shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any of the remaining provisions hereof. 
  
 8. Cooperation. At any time during the term of this Agreement or
thereafter, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with Company in any litigation or administrative proceedings involving any matters with which Executive was involved during Executive’s employment by Company. Company shall reimburse Executive
for Executive’s reasonable time and expenses, if any, incurred in providing such assistance. 
  
 9. Statutory Indemnification. Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Executive as follows: 
  
 9.1 Indemnification. Subject to limitations imposed
by law, Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Executive to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all claims, damages, expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and all other
liabilities incurred or paid by him in connection with the investigation, defense, prosecution, settlement or appeal of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and to
which Executive was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that Executive is or was an officer, executive or agent of Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by Executive in any such capacity or
capacities, provided that Executive acted in good faith, in a manner that was not grossly negligent or constituted willful misconduct and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or at least not opposed to the best interests of Company, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. 
  
 9.2 Expenses. Company shall pay any expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and other
liabilities incurred by Executive in investigating, defending, settling or appealing any action, suit or proceeding. Company shall also pay any and all expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by Executive as a result of Executive being
called as a witness in connection with any matter involving Company and/or any of its officers. Company shall promptly pay the amount of such expenses to Executive, but in no event later than ten (10) days following Executive’s delivery to
Company of a written request for an advance pursuant to this Section 9, together with a reasonable accounting of such expenses. 
  
 9.3 Advances. Company shall make the advances contemplated by this Section 9 regardless of Executive’s financial ability to
make repayment, and regardless whether indemnification of Executive by Company will ultimately be required. Any 

  

 7 

 
advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 9 shall be unsecured and interest-free. 
  
 9.4 Duty to Repay. Executive hereby undertakes and
agrees to repay to Company any advances made pursuant to this Section 9 if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be found that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by Company for such amounts. 
  
 9.5 Survival. The provisions of this Section 9 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be considered given and received when (a) personally delivered to the party, (b) delivered by facsimile to the number set forth below, or (c) deposited in the
