of the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, the Board has determined that a say-on-pay vote that occurs
every three years is the most appropriate alternative for the Company and its stockholders. Therefore, the Company intends to include
an advisory vote on the compensation of its executives in its proxy materials every three years, until the next required stockholder
advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation or until the Company&rsquo;s Board otherwise
determines that a different frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation is in the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders.</P>

designing, manufacturing, assembling, licensing, distributing, marketing and selling active outdoor performance products for
climbing, mountaineering, backpacking, skiing, cycling and other outdoor recreation activities, avalanche transceiver
technology, alpine safety products, and any other business that the Company or its subsidiaries may be engaged in during the

The restrictions set forth in Section 5 are considered by the parties to be fair and reasonable. The Employee acknowledges that
the restrictions contained in Section 5 will not prevent him from earning a livelihood. The Employee further acknowledges that
the Company would be irreparably harmed and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy in the event of a breach
of the provisions of Section 5. Accordingly, the Employee agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company,
the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to secure the enforcement of these provisions. In connection
with seeking any such equitable remedy, including, but not limited to, an injunction or specific performance, the Company shall
not be required to post a bond as a condition to obtaining such remedy. In any such litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to receive an award of reasonable attorneys&rsquo; fees and costs. If any provisions of Sections 5 or 6 relating to the time period,
scope of activities or geographic area of restrictions is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum permissible
time period, scope of activities or geographic area, the maximum time period, scope of activities or geographic area, as the case
may be, shall be reduced to the maximum which such court deems enforceable. If any provisions of Sections 5 or 6 other than those
described in the preceding sentence are adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable provisions shall
be deemed amended (with respect only to the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made) in such manner as to render them enforceable
and to effectuate as nearly as possible the original intentions and agreement of the parties. For purposes of this Section 6, all
references to the Company shall be deemed to include the Company's affiliates and subsidiaries, whether now existing or hereafter
established or acquired.</P>
