In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Company shall employ Executive, and Executive hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date hereof and ending two (2) years from the Effective Date (the “Employment Period”).

2. Position and Duties.

(a) During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as the Executive Chairman of the Company and shall have the normal duties, responsibilities, functions and authority customarily associated with such position and such other duties and responsibilities as may be assigned from time to time to Executive by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), all subject to the power and authority of the Company’s shareholders to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority.

(b) Executive shall report to the Board, and Executive shall perform Executive’s duties, responsibilities and functions to the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder in a diligent, trustworthy, professional and efficient manner and shall comply with the policies and procedures of the Company and its Subsidiaries and will cooperate fully with the Board and the Executive Committee in the advancement of the best interests of the Company. So long as Executive is employed by the Company, Executive shall not, except as provided herein or with the prior written consent of the Board, (i) render to any other person, corporation, firm, company, joint venture or other entity any services, or (ii) engage in any other activity, and in each of the case of (i) and (ii), that would directly compete with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries in designing, making, manufacturing, selling, distributing, sourcing and/or marketing tactical or tactical-inspired: apparel, outerwear, nylon, footwear, gear and/or accessories (“Competitive Businesses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may engage in charitable, civic, fraternal and trade association activities.

4. Termination of Employment.

(a) Termination. This Agreement, the Employment Period and the employment of Executive by the Company may be terminated at any time as follows:

(i) By mutual agreement of the parties;

(ii) By the Company if Executive dies or becomes Disabled. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disabled” shall mean any mental or physical illness or disability that renders Executive unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position for (A) any period more than thirty (30) consecutive days or (B) an aggregate of thirty (30) days during any twelve month period, notwithstanding reasonable accommodation by the Company of Executive’s known physical or mental disability, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and any other applicable state or local law governing the employment of qualified persons with a disability;

(iii) By the Company for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean with respect to Executive, one or more of the following: (A) willful violation of the Executive’s fiduciary duties to the Company, including the duty of loyalty and the corporate opportunity doctrine, (B) the indictment or conviction for, or the entry of a plea of nolo contendere (or similar plea) to a charge of, (1) any crime involving fraud, dishonesty, misappropriation or embezzlement, or (2) any felony, (C) any violation of law that causes material harm to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (D) failure to comply in any material respect with the Company’s reasonable and lawful orders or directives or the Company’s reasonable rules, regulations, policies, procedures or practices that are not inconsistent with applicable law, in each case, which results in material harm to the Company, (E) refusal to comply with the Company’s reasonable orders or directives or the Company’s reasonable rules, regulations, policies, procedures or practices that are not inconsistent with applicable law, (F) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company, and (G) any material breach by the Executive of this Agreement between such Executive and the Company;

(iv) By the Company without Cause, including, without limitation, termination of Executive’s employment as a result of a change in control of the Company;

(v) By Executive, voluntarily; provided that Executive agrees to give the Company not less than 90 days’ written notice of Executive’s resignation; and

(vi) Automatically upon expiration of the Employment Period without any further action by either party hereunder.

(b) Consequences of Termination.

Following any termination of Executive at any time during the Employment Period under paragraph 4(a), Executive (or, in the event of Executive’s death, Executive’s estate) shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to the accrued and unpaid portion of Executive’s Salary earned through the date of termination or death, plus any authorized business expenses incurred and un-reimbursed as of the date of termination or death. Such payments shall be made in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, and, other than the payment of such amounts, the Company’s obligation to make any further payments of any kind or provide any benefits of any kind to Executive shall cease and terminate upon Executive’s date of termination.

(c) Resignation Upon Termination. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive agrees and covenants that Executive shall immediately tender a resignation to the Company for any position held by Executive as an officer and member of the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ Boards of Directors and any committee(s) thereof, unless otherwise agreed in writing by and between Executive and the Company.

(d) Suspension of 409A Payments. To the extent any amount payable under this Agreement on account of Executive’s termination of employment constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, such payments shall be made when the Executive incurs Separation from Service (as such term is defined herein below). However, any payment or benefit under this Agreement that the Company reasonably determines is subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code shall be delayed to the extent required by Section 409A until a date that is six months and one day from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service (or the date of Executive’s death if earlier) (the “409A Suspension Period”). Within 10 days after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, the Company shall pay to Executive in one lump sum the aggregate of such delayed payments. After the 409A Suspension Period, Executive shall receive any remaining cash payments or benefits in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as if there had not been any 409A Suspension Period beforehand). For purposes of this Agreement, “Separation from Service” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(i); provided, however, that pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii), the parties hereby provide that a “separation from service” shall occur within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(i) and (ii) as of the first date coincident with or following a termination of employment that the Company and Executive reasonably anticipate that the level of bona fide services that Executive will perform for Company (and any entity that would be considered the same “service recipient” as Company under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A)(collectively, the “Service Recipient”) in the future (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to a level equal to twenty percent or less of the average level of bona fide services Executive provided to the Service Recipient in the 36 months immediately preceding such date (or the full period of service to the Service Recipient if Executive has been providing services to the Service Recipient for less than 36 months).

5. Confidential Information.

(a) Executive acknowledges that the continued success of the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates depends upon the use and protection of a large body of confidential and proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary information now existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as “Confidential Information.” Confidential Information will be interpreted as broadly as possible to include all information of any sort (whether merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (i) related to the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ current or potential business or is disclosed to the Company or its Subsidiaries by any third party pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, and (ii) is not generally or publicly known. Confidential Information includes, without specific limitation, information, observations and data created or obtained by Executive, or to which Executive otherwise has access, during the course of Executive’s performance of the services under this Agreement, information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ business or industry of which Executive becomes aware during the Employment Period, the persons or entities that are current, former or prospective suppliers or customers of any one or more of them during Executive’s course of performance of services under this Agreement, as well as development, transition and transformation plans, methodologies and methods of doing business, strategic marketing, product development and business expansion plans, including plans regarding planned and potential sales and financial projections, employee lists and telephone numbers, locations of sales representatives, product designs and specifications, including any future or proposed products, manufacturing techniques and information, integration processes and

financial information and forecasts. Therefore, Executive agrees that Executive shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, (A) disclose or permit the disclosure of any Confidential Information to any person or firm other than the Company or any person or firm to which such disclosure would be protected by a reasonably restrictive confidentiality agreement with the Company, or (B) use or permit the use of any Confidential Information except in the ordinary course of performance of Executive’s duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties understand and agree that the Confidential Information shall not include any information that has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Company (except where such public disclosure has been made by the Executive without authorization) or that has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or that otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means, including, without limitation, any information, which constitutes the same or similar information to that of Company’s Confidential Information, obtained by or discussed with Executive as a result of Executive’s Permitted Service (collectively, the “Excluded Confidential Information”). Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at the end of the Employment Period all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents relating to the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates (including, without limitation, all Confidential Information), whether on paper or in any other form or medium, and all copies thereof that Executive may then possess or have under Executive’s control. To the extent such delivery is not feasible, Executive agrees that (x) Executive will irretrievably erase all such materials from all computer memories and other media storage devices within Executive’s possession or control that are not so delivered to the Company, (y) Executive will not retain any copies, summaries or compilations (“versions”) of any such Confidential Information of any kind or in any form, and (z) Executive will provide written certification that Executive has irretrievably erased all such materials and have not retained any versions of such Confidential Information upon the Company’s request.

(b) During the Employment Period, Executive shall not use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and shall not bring onto the premises of the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates or copy any such information to Company technology such as computers or other media storage devices any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or person. Executive shall use in the performance of Executive’s duties only information that is (i) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s and that is (x) common knowledge in the industry or (y) otherwise legally in the public domain, (ii) otherwise provided or developed by the Company or its Subsidiaries or affiliates or (iii) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or person. If at any time during this employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, Executive believes Executive is being asked to engage in work that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any confidentiality or other obligations Executive may have to former employers, Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executive’s duties can be modified appropriately.

(c) The obligations of Executive provided in this Section 5 shall last, as to any Confidential Information, for two (2) years following the termination of the Employment Period.

6. Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents.

(a) Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable works, mask works and moral rights (in each case, whether or not including any Confidential Information) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable or trademarkable) which (i)(A) are developed using the equipment, supplies, facilities or Confidential Information of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (B) relate to the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ actual or demonstrably anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services, or (C) result from work performed by Executive for the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the designing, making, manufacturing, selling, distributing, sourcing and/or marketing of tactical or tactical-inspired apparel, outerwear, nylon, footwear, gear (including backpacks, bags, packs) and/or accessories (the “Tactical Business”), and (ii) are conceived in connection with the Tactical Business, developed or made by Executive (whether solely or jointly with others) while employed by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or after the termination of the Employment Period using the Company’s Confidential Information but specifically excluding any Excluded Confidential Information, whether before or after the Effective Date of this Agreement (“Work Product”), belong to the Company or such Subsidiary. Work Product does not include any discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable works, mask works and moral rights developed by Executive without the use of Confidential Information after the termination of the Employment Period or any Excluded Confidential Information developed by Executive for any Permitted Service whether during or after termination of the Employment Period. Executive shall promptly disclose Work Product to the Board and, at the Company’s expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish, confirm and perfect such ownership in the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, waivers of rights, including moral rights, and other instruments). Executive acknowledges that all original works of authorship protected by copyright included in the Work Product are “works made for hire” as defined in the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §101 and similar state law that is applicable to this Agreement.

(b) As further consideration for the Company’s entering into this Agreement, Executive hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest Executive owns or at any time may have to the Work Product (whether during the Employment Period or after the termination of the Employment Period). At any time, whether during the Employment Period or after the termination of the Employment Period, upon reasonable request of the Company and at Company’s sole cost, Executive shall fully cooperate with and assist the Company to protect the Company’s right to and interest in the Work Product in any and all countries of the world, and, upon reasonable request of the Company and at Company’s sole cost, shall execute all documents and instruments and do all things that may be reasonably required in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6 does not apply to Work Product that qualifies fully as a non-assignable invention under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code. By signing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that Executive has received and reviewed the notification attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A and has disclosed to the Company all inventions that Executive believes are his property under Labor Code section 2870.

7. Indemnification; D&O Insurance. Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and/or by-laws (the “Company’s Organizational Documents”), and, subject to the express provisions of the Company’s Organizational Documents, under the State of California General Corporation Law, as each may be amended from time to time. The rights conferred in this Section 7 shall, subject to the express provisions of the Company’s Organizational Documents: (i) continue as to Executive even if he ceases to be a director or officer of the Company, and (ii) shall inure to the benefit of Executor’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall also add Executive as an additional insured under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or policies) (the “D&O Insurance Policy”) to the same extent provided to its other senior executive officers generally. Nothing in this Agreement or the Release shall be deemed a waiver or release of, or otherwise reduce or limit in any way, Executive’s rights to benefits conferred under this Section 7 which shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8. Severability; Remedies.

(a) Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement will be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid, but, if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited or invalid, then such provision or term will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.

(b) Executive acknowledges the confidential and secret nature of Confidential Information and that the Company has devoted, and will continue to devote, considerable resources to the development or acquisition of the Confidential Information and Work Product. In light of this expenditure of resources, Executive further acknowledges (i) that the Confidential Information and Work Product has great economic value and is proprietary to the Company, (ii) that access to and use of the Confidential Information is necessary and essential to the performance of Executive’s duties and that development of Work Product is an inherent part of Executive’s duties, (iii) that Executive’s violation of Sections 5 or 6 would cause the Company to suffer immediate and irreparable harm and damage, (iv) that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company for any breach of Sections 5 or 6, and (v) that the restrictions and continuing obligations set forth in Sections 5 or 6 are fair and reasonably required for the protection of the Company and do not impose a greater restraint on Executive than is necessary to protect the rights and other business interests of the Company. Therefore, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions thereof (without posting a bond or other security). Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it, at law or in equity, for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement (including any of the provisions of Sections 5 or 6) by Executive.

(c) The prevailing party in any final adjudication, including through appeal, action to enforce the terms of this Agreement or otherwise determine the rights and obligations of the parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs as determined by the court or arbitrator in any such final action.

9. Executive’s Representations. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive do not and shall not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound, (b) Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity that conflicts with this Agreement and (c) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement shall be a legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Executive hereby acknowledges and represents that Executive has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and that Executive fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein.

Exhibit A

LIMITED EXCLUSION NOTIFICATION

THIS IS TO NOTIFY you, in accordance with Section 2872 of the California Labor Code, that the obligations set forth in this Section 6 do not apply to an invention that you developed entirely on your own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information unless the invention either: (1) relates at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the Company’s business, or action or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company; or (2) results from any work performed by you for the Company.

However, this limited exclusion does not apply to any patent or invention covered by a contract between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies requiring full title to such patent or invention to be in the United States.

You must disclose on Exhibit B all inventions that have been developed by you, whether solely or jointly with others, for the purpose of determining the parties’ respective rights to the invention. Moreover, during the course of your employment with the Company, you must promptly disclose all inventions developed by you, whether solely or jointly with others, for the purpose of determining the parties’ respective rights to the invention.
