Following the Closing for a period of seven (7) years, each Buyer shall grant to Sellers and their representatives full access during normal business hours, provided that such access shall be provided so as not to create an undue interruption of Buyers’ other businesses, to all records and other documents transferred to it by Sellers relating to the ownership of the Purchased Assets and the operation of the Business prior to the Closing Date as may be required in connection with any Tax filing, Tax audit or litigation of either of the Sellers or related to any other third party proceeding or inquiry involving either of the Sellers.

6.2 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Seller agrees to retain in confidence and not disclose, and to require their respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, “Representatives”) to retain in confidence and not disclose, all confidential and proprietary information concerning the Business or the Purchased Assets, except that a Seller may disclose the information to those of its Representatives who need the information for the proper performance of their assigned duties with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the preparation of appropriate Tax returns. In making such information available to its Representatives, a Seller shall take any and all precautions necessary to ensure that its Representatives use the information only as permitted hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such information may be disclosed (i) if it is required by court order or decree, by any regulatory authorities or governmental agencies, pursuant to applicable law or in connection with the preparation or filing of Tax returns, (ii) if it is ascertainable or obtained from public or published information, or (iii) if it is received from a third party not known to the recipient to be under an obligation to keep such information confidential. If a Seller or any of its Representatives shall be required to make disclosure of any such information by operation of law (other than in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax returns), such Seller shall give Buyers prior notice of the making of such disclosure and shall use all reasonable efforts to afford Buyers an opportunity to contest the making of such disclosure.

(b) In recognition of the confidential nature of certain of the information which was provided to Buyers by Sellers prior to the Closing related to the transactions contemplated by

this Agreement, each Buyer and Pure Fishing agrees to retain in confidence and not disclose, and to require its Representatives to retain in confidence and not disclose, all confidential and proprietary information concerning Remington or RA Brands related to the business or operations of Remington or RA Brands other than the Business (including such information transmitted or disclosed to Pure Fishing, Buyers or any of their Representatives by either Seller or any of their Representatives in advance of the Closing).

(a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Remington), nor any other direct or indirect subsidiary of the Seller Group (now existing or formed in the future) (collectively, the “Seller Group”), nor any of Thomas L. Millner, Mark A. Little, and Ronald H. Bristol II, each of whom is a current employee of Remington (the “Employee Group”), will directly or indirectly own, operate, lease, manage, control, participate in, consult with, advise, or provide services for, or in any manner engage in, the manufacture, sale, distribution or development of fishing line in any area of the world (collectively, the “Restricted Activities”).

If, at the time of enforcement of this Section (a) a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law.

(b) The foregoing restrictive covenant shall not prohibit Sellers from engaging in the Restricted Activities as necessary to perform their obligations under this Agreement and the other Agreements contemplated by this Agreement (the “Permitted Activities”).

Remington hereby covenants and agrees to enforce (and shall cause its Affiliates within the Seller Group to enforce) all of the contractual rights of the Seller Group against any such breaching member of the Seller Group or Employee Group which is subject to enforceable contractual obligations, as applicable, to prevent or stop any such breach by any such Person.

(d) Sellers further covenant and agree that during the Noncompetition Period none of the Seller Group shall license or grant any rights to any third party to use any trademark owned by any member of the Seller Group in connection with the sale, manufacture, distribution, development or design of Products (as defined herein) in any area of the world.

6.6 EXPRESS^® Trademark.

(a) Promptly after the Closing, Remington, with such assistance of Buyers as reasonably requested of Buyers, will seek to obtain a license for Buyers to use the trademark EXPRESS^® from the owner thereof for the sale of fishing line in WAL-MART and WAL-MART branded stores in the United States of America, which for the avoidance of doubt will include specifically WAL-MART Supercenters, WALMART neighborhood stores, and WAL-MART websites (the “EXPRESS License”). If the owner of the EXPRESS^® trademark agrees to grant to Buyers the EXPRESS License, on terms reasonably

acceptable to Buyers then Remington will pay the license fee, if any, negotiated by Remington and such owner for the EXPRESS License, up to an aggregate of $200,000 (the “Express Payment”). If the owner of the EXPRESS^® trademark agrees to grant to Buyers the EXPRESS License on terms reasonably acceptable to Buyers but for a license fee in excess of the Express Payment, then Buyers shall have the option either (i) to obtain the EXPRESS License without reimbursement of the license fee by Remington in excess of the Express Payment, or (ii) to reject the EXPRESS License.

(b) If the owner of the EXPRESS^® trademark agrees to grant to Buyers the EXPRESS License (whether at the expense of Remington or at the expense of Buyers), RA Brands agrees to provide to Buyers an exclusive, royalty-free, non-sublicensable license (on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Remington License Agreement, including, without limitation, terms restricting the assignability thereof) to use the REMINGTON^® trademark with the EXPRESS^® trademark (together, but not separately, and not in conjunction with any other trademarks) for fishing line sold only to WAL-MART and WAL-MART branded stores in the United States of America, which for the avoidance of doubt will include specifically WAL-MART Supercenters, WALMART neighborhood stores, and WAL-MART websites, for an initial period of fifteen (15) years from and after the Closing, renewable in consecutive five (5) year terms at the option of Buyers upon prior notice to RA Brands (provided, at the time of the renewal no Buyer is in breach of any of its obligations or agreements thereunder).

(c) If the owner of the EXPRESS^® trademark does not agree to grant to Buyers the EXPRESS License or if Buyer rejects the EXPRESS License pursuant to Section 6.6(a)(ii) above, Buyers and Remington agree to cooperate to devise and design an alternative trademark to EXPRESS^® (which shall be chosen and owned exclusively by Buyers), and, subject to Remington’s approval of such alternative trademark, RA Brands agrees to provide to Buyers an exclusive, royalty-free, non-sublicensable license (on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Remington License Agreement, including, without limitation, terms restricting the assignability thereof) to use the REMINGTON^® trademark with such alternative trademark (together, but not separately, and not in conjunction with any other trademarks) for fishing line sold only to WAL-MART and WAL-MART branded stores in the United States of America, which for the avoidance of doubt will include specifically WAL-MART Supercenters, WALMART neighborhood stores, and WAL-MART websites, for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) years from and after the Closing, renewable in consecutive five (5) year terms at the option of Buyers upon prior notice to RA Brands (provided, at the time of the renewal no Buyer is not in breach of any of its obligations or agreements thereunder). If the owner of the EXPRESS^® trademark does not agree to grant to Buyers the EXPRESS License or if Buyer rejects the EXPRESS License pursuant to Section 6.6(a)(ii) above, Remington agrees to bear the reasonable costs and expenses of the one-time design and manufacture of the printing plates required to produce product labels bearing such alternative mark, as well as to reimburse Buyers for the costs of scrapping or relabeling unsold inventory bearing the EXPRESS ^® trademark, which Buyers are unable to sell, all together not to exceed the Express Payment.

(d) Remington shall have no obligation under this Section 6.6 if Buyer have not, within twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, either obtained the EXPRESS License or developed an alternative trademark as contemplated by Section 6.6(c). Nothing in this

Section 6.6 shall be deemed to limit any of the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Articles III or IV of this Agreement with respect to the Business Intellectual Property.

6.7 Consents. Certain of the Assumed Contracts are or may be, by their terms, non-assignable or assignable only with a consent of the other parties thereto other than Sellers. Sellers covenant and agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, within nine (9) months after the Closing, all required consents which may be required under the terms of such Assumed Contracts to effect their assignment to and assumption by the applicable Buyer, but which have not been obtained prior to Closing. To the extent the parties are unable to obtain any Required Consents under an Assumed Contract to effect the assignment thereof as of or after Closing (the “Unassigned Agreements“), Sellers covenant and agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to afford the benefits of the Unassigned Agreements to Buyers from and after the Closing, and Pure Fishing covenants and agrees to perform, and as applicable to cause PF I or PF II to perform, fully and when required all of Sellers’ Liabilities and obligations arising any such Unassigned Agreement from and after the Closing. Buyers understands and agrees that Sellers shall have no Liability on account of the failure to obtain any such consents (which shall not be grounds for the assertion of any claims by any Buyer against any Seller, whether pursuant to ARTICLE VIII of this Agreement or otherwise).

6.8 Customer Payments; Mail. Each party hereto authorizes and empowers the other, for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Closing Date, (i) to receive and open mail addressed to the first party and (ii) to deal with the contents thereof in any reasonable manner it sees fit; provided, that in the case of clause (ii) such mail and the contents thereof, if received by Buyers, must relate to the Purchased Assets or otherwise to the Business or to any of the Assumed Liabilities, or, if received by Sellers, must relate to the Excluded Assets, any of the Excluded Liabilities or to Sellers’ other businesses. During such twelve-month period, each Buyer agrees to promptly forward any mail not relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business to the Sellers, and Sellers agree to promptly forward any mail relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business to the Buyers. During such twelve-month period, each Party agrees to deliver to the relevant party promptly upon receipt any payments from customers, mail, checks or documents which it receives to which it is not entitled by reason of this Agreement or otherwise and to which that other party is entitled.

6.9 Non-U.S. Distribution Agreements. The parties acknowledge that the non-U.S. distribution agreements relating to the Business to which Remington is a party shall not be assumed by Buyers hereunder. These agreements are listed in Schedule 6.9 hereto. Sellers agree, that to the extent that any such agreements include a right or license to use any Business Intellectual Property, or to market, sell or distribute any inventory or products related to the Business, such rights shall be terminated as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event within six (6) months after the Effective Time, and the relevant agreements amended to prohibit the third party from marketing, selling or distributing any products or inventory using the Business Intellectual Property, or which are related to the Business.

Brands; and

(iii) If Pure Fishing develops a proposal to license the Remington^® trademark in connection with the Permitted Uses in the Fish Tackle market at any time during the ROFO Period, Remington and RA Brands agree that neither will solicit competing proposals for the same license opportunity from any party other than Pure Fishing, provided that Pure Fishing’s proposal includes: (i) a minimum royalty payment to Remington or RA Brands of $15,000 per calendar year for all Fish Tackle other than fishing rods, fishing reels and fishing rod and reel combinations, and $25,000 per calendar year for fishing rods, fishing reels or fishing rod and reel combinations, and (ii) a royalty rate of not less than seven percent (7%) on annual net sales revenue from all sales of Fish Tackle products other than fishing rod and reel combinations and not less than ten percent (10%) on annual net sales revenue from all sales of fishing rod and reel combinations.

(a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Buyers and Pure Fishing contained in this Agreement;

(d) Buyers’ ownership of the Purchased Assets and operation of the Business on and after the Effective Time.

8.3 Notice of Claim. Any party seeking to be indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, within fifteen (15) business days following discovery of the matters giving rise to a Loss, notify the party from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnity Obligor”) in writing of any claim for recovery, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss and the amount of the liability estimated to arise therefrom. If the Indemnified Party does not so notify the Indemnity Obligor within fifteen (15) business days of its discovery of a claim for recovery, such failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnity Obligor of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent the Indemnity Obligor is materially prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnity Obligor as promptly as practicable thereafter all information and documentation reasonably requested by the Indemnity Obligor to verify the claim asserted.

8.4 Defense.

(a) If the facts pertaining to a Loss arise out of the claim of any third party, or if there is any claim against a third party available by virtue of the circumstances of the Loss, the Indemnity Obligor may, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the notice of such claim, elect to assume the defense or the prosecution thereof, including the employment of counsel or accountants at its cost and expense; provided, however, that during the interim the Indemnified Party shall use its best efforts to take all action (not including settlement) reasonably necessary to protect against further damage or loss with respect to the Loss; provided further that the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in protecting against further damage will be considered a Loss.

(b) The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense and to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnity Obligor in any such action and to participate therein, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be not be considered a Loss and shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (A) the counsel selected by the Indemnity Obligor shall be unwilling or unable to represent the Indemnified Party, or (B) a legal conflict of interest exists between the Indemnity Obligor and the Indemnified Party such that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (C) a court of

competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnity Obligor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claims, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel engaged by the Indemnified Party shall also be a Loss for which indemnity is provided by the Indemnity Obligor.

(c) Whether or not the Indemnity Obligor chooses so to defend or prosecute such claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and shall attend such conferences, discovery proceedings and trials as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. If the Indemnity Obligor assumes the defense or prosecution of such claim, the Indemnity Obligor shall have the right to settle the claim if such settlement involves only money damages; provided that the Indemnity Obligor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of a claim if, as a result of such settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice. The Indemnity Obligor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event and to the extent of payment by the Indemnity Obligor to the Indemnified Party in connection with any Loss arising out of a third party claim, the Indemnity Obligor shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of the Indemnified Party to the extent of such payment as to any events or circumstances in respect of which the Indemnified Party may have any right or claim against such third party relating to such indemnified matter. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnity Obligor in prosecuting any subrogated claim, and the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in providing such cooperation shall also be a Loss for which indemnity is provided by the Indemnity Obligor.

8.9 Reduction by Tax Benefit. The amount payable by an Indemnity Obligor with respect to a Loss shall be net of any federal, state or local Tax benefit actually usable by the Indemnified Party by reason of the Loss.

(b) Each party hereto shall promptly notify the other in writing of, and will provide such reasonable detail as is available at the time regarding, any notice received by the informing party of the commencement of any inquiry, investigation, suit, claim, proceeding or order by any governmental agency or authority or other Person with respect to any of the matters set forth in Section 8.10(a). No Seller Indemnitee shall participate in the response to or defense of any such matter unless: (i) such Seller Indemnitee is legally compelled to do so or otherwise would have or incur civil or criminal liability if it failed to do so (a “Compelled Response”), or (ii) Buyers request the assistance of a Seller in connection with Buyers’ response to or defense of such matter (“Seller Assistance”), in which case Seller shall take commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Seller Assistance as is reasonably requested by Buyers provided Buyers shall have agreed to pay all of the costs and expenses of any Seller in connection with the provision of Seller Assistance (which costs and expenses shall be reasonably incurred and shall, if in the case of the provision of personnel of either Seller or provision of services by such Seller, shall generally be at the charges therefore specifically stated, if any, in the Transitional Services Agreement).

(c) Upon the occurrence of any of the matters set forth in Section 8.10(a) requiring a Compelled Response, and subject to the terms and conditions of that Section, Buyers and Pure Fishing shall indemnify and pay for one counsel to represent Buyers and all Seller Indemnitees jointly, provided, however, that in the event of a legal conflict each Seller Indemnitee subject to the Compelled Response as to which there is a legal conflict shall be entitled to retain its own legal counsel to represent exclusively the interests of such Seller Indemnitee (separate from counsel selected and retained by Buyers), and, if necessary to adequately respond to or defend against the matter, an independent public accounting firm and a professional consulting firm of economic advisors to represent the interests of Seller Indemnitee exclusively and other litigation services providers (e.g. file copy or retrieval services), provided further, that the costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel,

independent public accounting firm, professional consulting firm of economic advisors and other service providers will be considered a Loss.

(d) At all times in connection with a Compelled Response or a matter in which there will be Seller Assistance, Buyers will keep the indemnified party regularly and promptly informed of the status of the matter and Buyers’ and Pure Fishing’s response and defense thereto. All Losses of any Seller Indemnitee to be indemnified by Buyers and Pure Fishing pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall be paid by Buyers and Pure Fishing within thirty (30) days after the indemnified party informs Buyers and Pure Fishing in writing of the incurrence or payment of such amounts, throughout the pendency of the matter giving rise to the indemnity hereunder.

(e) The rights of Seller Indemnitees set forth in this Section 8.10 are in addition to any other indemnification obligation of Buyers, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or other rescission or reformation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. None of the rights of any Seller Indemnitee under this Section 8.10, and none of the obligations of Buyers and Pure Fishing under this Section 8.10, shall be subject to any of the limitations otherwise set forth in this Article VIII as to the time for claims or any minimum or maximum limits on the dollar amount of the indemnity provided herein.

8.11 Sole Remedy. Buyers and Pure Fishing, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, agree that the right of indemnity against each Seller or each Buyer and Pure Fishing, as applicable, set forth in this ARTICLE VIII shall be the sole remedy and right of recovery against either Seller or any of the Buyers or Pure Fishing, as applicable, for any and all claims by and Liabilities of Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, and each party hereby waives all other remedies, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation the remedy of rescission; provided, however, that any (i) claim of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or (ii) suit for specific performance shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.11.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

9.1 Conditions of Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (or as otherwise specified):

(a) by the mutual written consent of Sellers and Buyers;

(b) by Buyers if Buyers shall have received notice of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3 and/or 4 or a breach of a covenant hereunder which renders the condition in Section 7.4(a)(i) incapable of being satisfied; or

(c) by Sellers if Sellers shall have received notice of a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 or a breach of a covenant hereunder which renders the condition in Section 7.4(b)(i) incapable of being satisfied; or

reason for the delay beyond February 11, 2004 shall not have been caused by the Party initiating such termination.
