Introductory Note.

As previously announced, on October 15, 2023, Vista Outdoor Inc. (“Vista Outdoor” or “the Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Revelyst, Inc. (“Revelyst”), CSG Elevate II Inc. (“Merger Sub Parent”), CSG Elevate III Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the purposes of specific provisions therein, CZECHOSLOVAK GROUP a.s. (“CSG”), providing for, on the terms and conditions set forth therein and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub Parent (the “Merger” and, together with the Separation (as defined below) and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Separation Agreement (as defined below) and the related transaction documents, the “Transaction”).

Simultaneously with the signing of the Merger Agreement, Vista Outdoor and Revelyst entered into a separation agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Separation Agreement”) providing for, among other things, the separation of the businesses and operations of the Revelyst Outdoor Performance, the Revelyst Adventure Sports and the Revelyst Precision Sports Technology reportable segments of Vista Outdoor (formerly comprising the Outdoor Products reportable segment of Vista Outdoor) (the “Revelyst Business”) from the other businesses and operations of Vista Outdoor (the “Sporting Products Business”) and the transfer of the Revelyst Business to Revelyst (the “Separation”).

On November 27, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Separation and the Merger were consummated. Revelyst, now holding only the Revelyst Business, is an independent, publicly traded company (NYSE: GEAR) and Vista Outdoor, holding only the Sporting Products Business, is a wholly owned subsidiary of CSG.

Item 1.01 Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement

On the Closing Date, Revelyst and Vista Outdoor entered into the Transition Services Agreement, pursuant to which Vista Outdoor will provide to Revelyst, and Revelyst will provide to Vista Outdoor, specified services for a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition following the Closing. The services to be provided will include certain sales, information technology, e-commerce, finance, accounting, tax, human resources, legal and other general, administrative and operational functions. The Transition Services Agreement also specifies the calculation of the costs for the services to be provided by Vista Outdoor or Revelyst, as applicable.

Each of Revelyst and Vista Outdoor, each in the capacity of service recipient, will agree to indemnify the other party (in its capacity as service provider) and the other party’s former and current directors, officers and employees, and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of them, from any liabilities to the extent arising out of the service provider’s provision of the services unless such damages are the result of the service provider’s breach of the Transition Services Agreement, violation of law, gross negligence or willful misconduct in providing services.

For further details regarding the Transition Services Agreement, see the description set forth in the section entitled “Additional Transaction Agreements” in the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333-276525) prepared in connection with the Transaction and filed by Revelyst with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was declared effective on October 18, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”).

Redemption of Senior Notes

In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on November 27, 2024, Vista Outdoor redeemed all of Vista Outdoor’s 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of March 3, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”) as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2021 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, as further amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among Vista Outdoor, the other guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A, as trustee. In accordance with the Indenture, Vista Outdoor redeemed $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.250% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through but not including July 26, 2024.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On the Closing Date, pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Vista Outdoor, with Vista Outdoor surviving the merger as a subsidiary of Merger Sub Parent. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any such shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock held by Vista Outdoor, its subsidiaries or Merger Sub Parent and (ii) any Appraisal Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) was converted into the right to receive (a) one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Revelyst and (b) $25.75 in cash, in each case, per share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock.

In addition, at the Effective Time, each Company equity award that was outstanding as of the Effective Time and was held by (i) an employee of the Company other than a Revelyst employee or (ii) a non-employee director of the Company who did not become a non-employee director of Revelyst immediately following the Effective Time, was treated as follows: (1) each restricted stock unit that was subject solely to time-based vesting conditions (a “Company RSU”) (other than a Company Rollover RSU (as defined below)) vested and was cancelled in exchange for a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock underlying such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Company’s pre-Closing stock price; (2) each performance stock unit (a “Company PSU”) was cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock underlying such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming achievement of the applicable performance goals at specified levels) and (B) the Company’s pre-Closing stock price; (3) each option to purchase Vista Outdoor Common Stock (a “Company Option”) was cancelled in exchange for a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock for which such Company Option had not been exercised and (B) the excess, if any, of the Company’s pre-Closing stock price over the exercise price per share of such Company Option; and (4) each deferred stock unit (a “Company DSU”), whether vested or unvested, was cancelled in exchange for a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock underlying such Company DSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Company’s pre-Closing stock price. At the Effective Time, each Company Rollover RSU held by an employee of the Company other than a Revelyst employee was cancelled and converted into a restricted cash award based on the Company’s pre-Closing stock price, subject to the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Rollover RSU, including vesting terms. For these purposes, “Company Rollover RSU” means a Company RSU that was designated to be converted into a restricted cash award to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences to the applicable employee and the Company under Sections 280G and 4999 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company equity award that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and was held by (i) a Revelyst employee or (ii) a non-employee director of the Company who became a non-employee director of Revelyst immediately following the Effective Time, was treated as provided for in the Employee Matters Agreement (as amended from time to time) entered into by Vista Outdoor and Revelyst on October 15, 2023.

OF

Amended and Restated as of November 27, 2024
____________________________________________________________
ARTICLE I

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.1    Annual Meetings. If required by applicable law, an annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting. The corporation may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.
Section 1.2    Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. The corporation may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.
Section 1.3    Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting) and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder's address as it appears on the records of the corporation.
1



Section 1.4    Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Section 1.5    Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by a majority in voting power thereof, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.4 of these bylaws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 1.6    Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairperson of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the Vice Chairperson of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the President, or in his or her absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairperson designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairperson chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 1.7    Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by or pursuant to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a
2



later date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall, unless a different or minimum vote is required by the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the corporation, or any law or regulation applicable to the corporation or its securities, in which case such different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon.
Section 1.8    Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.
(a)    In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.
(b)    In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
(c)    Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, in order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall
3



not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, (i) when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
Section 1.9    List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network; provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 1.9 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 1.10    Action By Written Consent of Stockholders. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent required by law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if
4



the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation.
Section 1.11    Inspectors of Election. The corporation may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors' count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.
Section 1.12    Conduct of Meetings.

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES
Section 6.1    Right to Indemnification. The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a "Covered Person") who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or, while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, foundation, association, organization, legal entity, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
9



settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the above, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 6.2    Indemnification of Employees and Agents. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Corporation may provide rights to indemnification to any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation to the extent and upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate.
Section 6.3    Advancement of Expenses. The corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.
Section 6.4    Claims. If a claim for indemnification under this Article VI (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in full within sixty days after the corporation has received a claim therefor by the Covered Person, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this Article VI is not paid in full within thirty days after the corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the Covered Person shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action, the corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
Section 6.5    Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section 6.6    Other Sources. The corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Covered Person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Covered Person may collect as
10



indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.
Section 6.7    Amendment or Repeal. Any right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses of any Covered Person arising hereunder shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to or repeal of these bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought.
Section 6.8    Other Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. This Article VI shall not limit the right of the corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.
ARTICLE VII

Except as otherwise provided herein or permitted by applicable law, notices to directors and stockholders shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective if delivered personally, by mail to the directors or stockholders at their addresses appearing on the books of the corporation, by facsimile, by email or by other means of electronic transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, and except as prohibited by applicable law, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of applicable law, the certificate of incorporation, or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given.

Section 7.4    Waiver of Notice of Meetings of Stockholders, Directors and Committees.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to
11



be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in a waiver of notice.
Section 7.5    Form of Records. Any records maintained by the corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device, method or one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases); provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time, and, with respect to the stock ledger, the records so kept comply with Section 224 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 7.6    Amendment of Bylaws. These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws made, by the Board of Directors, but the stockholders may make additional bylaws and may alter and repeal any bylaws whether adopted by them or otherwise.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder's address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

Section 1.4    Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Section 1.5    Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by a majority in voting power thereof, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.4 of these bylaws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 1.6    Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairperson of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the Vice Chairperson of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the President, or in his or her absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairperson designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairperson chosen at the meeting.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a
- 2 -




later date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall, unless a different or minimum vote is required by the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the corporation, or any law or regulation applicable to the corporation or its securities, in which case such different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon.
Section 1.8    Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.
(a)    In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.
(b)    In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
(c)    Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, in order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall
- 3 -




not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, (i) when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
Section 1.9    List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network; provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 1.9 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 1.10    Action By Written Consent of Stockholders. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or the Additional Governance Requirements (which term shall, for the purposes of these bylaws, have the meaning given to it in the corporation’s Guidelines on Corporate Governance), any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action
- 4 -




without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent required by law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation.
Section 1.11    Inspectors of Election. The corporation may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors' count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.
Section 1.12    Conduct of Meetings. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors or with the Additional Governance Requirements, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding person of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the presiding person of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES
Section 6.1    Right to Indemnification. The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a "Covered Person") who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or, while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, foundation, association, organization, legal entity,
- 9 -




enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the above, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 6.2    Indemnification of Employees and Agents. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and consistent with the Additional Governance Requirements, the Corporation may provide rights to indemnification to any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation to the extent and upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate.
Section 6.3    Advancement of Expenses. The corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.
Section 6.4    Claims. If a claim for indemnification under this Article VI (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in full within sixty days after the corporation has received a claim therefor by the Covered Person, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this Article VI is not paid in full within thirty days after the corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the Covered Person shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action, the corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
Section 6.5    Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws,
- 10 -




the Additional Governance Requirements, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section 6.6    Other Sources. The corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Covered Person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Covered Person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.
Section 6.7    Amendment or Repeal. Any right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses of any Covered Person arising hereunder shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to or repeal of these bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought.
Section 6.8    Other Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. This Article VI shall not limit the right of the corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.
ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1    Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.
Section 7.2    Seal. The corporate seal shall have the name of the corporation inscribed thereon and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Section 7.3    Manner of Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein or permitted by applicable law, notices to directors and stockholders shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective if delivered personally, by mail to the directors or stockholders at their addresses appearing on the books of the corporation, by facsimile, by email or by other means of electronic transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, and except as prohibited by applicable law, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of applicable law, the certificate of incorporation, or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation.

Section 7.4    Waiver of Notice of Meetings of Stockholders, Directors and Committees. Any waiver of notice, given by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in a waiver of notice.
Section 7.5    Form of Records. Any records maintained by the corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device, method or one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases); provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time, and, with respect to the stock ledger, the records so kept comply with Section 224 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 7.6    Amendment of Bylaws. These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws made, by the Board of Directors, but the stockholders may make additional bylaws and may alter and repeal any bylaws whether adopted by them or otherwise, in each case consistent with the Additional Governance Requirements.
Section 7.7     Operation and Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for so long as the corporation is subject to the Additional Governance Requirements, the corporation shall operate in accordance with the Additional Governance Requirements. In the event of conflict between the terms of these bylaws and the Additional Governance Requirements, the terms of the Additional Governance Requirements shall in all cases control.

Except as agreed by the Parties in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, or otherwise in writing, any costs associated with engaging the services of an Affiliate of the Provider or a Sub-Contractor shall not affect the Cost of Services payable by the Receiver under this Agreement, and the Provider shall remain solely responsible with respect to payment for such Affiliate’s or Sub-Contractor’s costs, fees and expenses.
SECTION 2.04.     Standard of Performance.
(a) The Services shall be performed in a manner, scope, timeframe, nature and quality, with the level of care, and to the extent and service level that, in each case are substantially consistent in all material respects with the Services as provided to the Revelyst Business or the Vista Outdoor Business, as applicable, during the 12 month period immediately prior to the Closing Date, unless the Services are being provided by a Sub-Contractor (in accordance with Section 2.02(b)) who is also providing the same services to the Provider or any other member of the Provider’s Group, in which case the Services performed for the Receiver shall be substantially consistent in all material respects (including with respect to scope, timeframe, nature, quality, level of care, extent and service level) with such services as are being performed for the Provider or such other member of the Provider’s Group, as applicable. If the Provider has not provided such Services (or substantially similar services) during the 12 month period immediately prior to the Closing Date, then the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Services in a competent and professional manner consistent with industry standards. In all cases, the Services shall be provided in accordance with applicable Law and performed by competent and appropriately qualified personnel.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that the Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing Services if the Provider is making similar changes in performing the same or substantially similar Services for itself or other members of the Provider’s Group; provided, however, that, unless expressly contemplated in Schedule A or Schedule B, such changes shall not affect the Cost of Services for such Services payable by the Receiver under this Agreement or decrease the manner, scope, timeframe, nature, quality or level of the Services provided to the Receiver, except upon prior written approval of the Receiver.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.04, THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Limitations
SECTION 5.01. Consents.
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the provision of any Service by any Provider (or any Affiliate or Sub-Contractor of such Provider) to any Receiver if the provision of such Service requires the Consent of any Person (including any Governmental Authority), whether under applicable Law, by the terms of any contract in existence as of the date of this Agreement to which such Provider or any other member of the Provider’s Group is a party or otherwise (each, an “Existing Contract”), unless and until, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.01(c), such Consent has been obtained.
(b) The Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as possible any Consent of any Person (including any Governmental Authority) or to amend any Existing Contract, as may be necessary for the performance of the Provider’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Provider will not be required to seek any other more favorable terms for the Receiver under any such Existing Contract. Any fees, expenses or costs incurred in connection with obtaining any such Consent or amending any such Existing Contract shall be paid by the Receiver, and the Receiver shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance as necessary in obtaining such Consents or amendments.

(c) In the event that the Consent of any Person, if required in order for the Provider to provide Services, is not obtained reasonably promptly after the Closing Date, the Provider shall notify the Receiver and the Parties shall cooperate in devising an alternative manner for the provision of the Services affected by such failure to obtain such Consent and the Cost of Services associated therewith, such alternative manner and Cost of Services to be reasonably satisfactory to both Parties and agreed to in writing; provided that the Provider will not be required to undertake any activities that increase, in any material respect, the resources required of it to perform such affected Services. If the Parties elect such an alternative plan, the Provider shall provide the Services in such alternative manner and the Receiver shall pay for such Services based on the alternative Cost of Services. In the alternative, the Receiver (in its sole discretion) may terminate the affected Services without cost, penalty or liability to the Receiver.
SECTION 5.02. Compliance with Laws. The Services shall not include, and no Provider (and no Affiliate or Sub-Contractor of such Provider) shall be obligated to provide, any service the provision of which to the Receiver following the Closing Date would constitute a violation of any Law.
SECTION 5.03. Force Majeure. In the event the performance of any terms or provisions hereof is delayed or prevented, in whole or in part, because of or related to compliance with any Law or requirement of any national securities exchange, or because of riot, war, public disturbance, public health event, strike, labor dispute, fire, explosion, storm, flood, act of God or act of terrorism that is not within the control of the Provider and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence the Provider is unable to prevent, or for any other reason that is not within the control of the Provider and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence the Provider is unable to prevent (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), then upon prompt written notice, stating the date and extent of such interference and the Force Majeure Event that is the cause thereof, by the Provider to the Receiver, the Provider shall be excused from its obligations hereunder during the period such Force Majeure Event or its effects continue, and no liability shall attach against the Provider on account thereof; provided, however, that the Provider shall promptly resume the required performance upon the cessation of the Force Majeure Event or its effects. No Provider shall be excused pursuant to this Section 5.03 from performance of its obligations if such Provider fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the effects of the Force Majeure Event and remove the cause and effects of the Force Majeure Event. If the Provider’s performance under this Agreement is suspended or rendered impractical by reason of a Force Majeure Event for a period in excess of thirty (30) days during the term of this Agreement, the Receiver shall have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Agreement with respect to the disrupted Services immediately upon written notice to the Provider. A Force Majeure Event shall not operate to delay the Applicable Termination Date for the disrupted Services or to limit amounts payable for Services rendered on or prior to the actual date of the Force Majeure Event.
SECTION 5.04. Interim Basis Only. Each Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Agreement is for such Party to receive, and the other Party to provide, the Services on an interim basis and that the Services provided hereunder are transitional in nature.
SECTION 5.05. Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Provider (and the Affiliates and Sub-Contractors of such Provider) shall not be
9



required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any third party or any other Person other than the Receiver.

To the extent title to any such work product vests in the Provider by operation of Law, the Provider hereby assigns (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Affiliate or Sub-Contractor of such Provider to assign) to the Receiver all right, title and interest in and to such work product, including all rights in Intellectual Property therein, and the Provider shall (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Affiliate or Sub-Contractor of such Provider to) provide such assistance and execute such documents as the Receiver may reasonably request to assign to such Receiver all right, title and interest in and to such work product.
(b) The Receiver acknowledges and agrees that it shall acquire no right, title or interest (other than a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free worldwide right of use) to any work product resulting from the provision of Services hereunder that is not for the Receiver’s exclusive use and such work product shall remain the exclusive property of the Provider.
SECTION 6.03. Title to Intellectual Property; Title to Data.

10



proprietary or third-party software first made available to such other Party after the Closing Date, solely to the extent such provision would not violate the providing Party’s duty of confidentiality owed to any third party.
SECTION 6.05. Data Privacy. Each Party shall, and shall cause the other members of its Group and their respective Sub-Contractors to, comply with all Privacy and Data Security Requirements that may apply in relation to the Processing of Personal Information in connection with the Services.

(a) As compensation for each Service rendered pursuant to this Agreement, each Receiver shall be required to pay to the corresponding Provider the Cost of Services specified for such Service in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable.
(b) During the term of this Agreement, the Cost of Service for a Service may increase to the extent of any increase in the applicable Cost of Services during a Service Extension, in accordance with Section 8.02.
(c) The amount of any actual and documented sales tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax or similar tax that is required to be assessed and remitted by a Provider in connection with the Services provided hereunder (“Sales Taxes”) shall be promptly paid to such Provider by the corresponding Receiver in accordance with Section 7.02.

SECTION 7.02. Payment Terms.
(a) Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B, each Provider shall bill the corresponding Receiver monthly, within 30 days following the end of each month, an amount equal to the aggregate Cost of Services due for all Services provided in such month, plus any Sales Taxes. Invoices shall be directed to the Receiver’s Service Manager, or to such other Person designated in writing from time to time by such Service Manager. The Receiver shall pay any undisputed amount in full within 30 days after receipt of each invoice by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to the account designated by the Provider for this purpose. Each invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the charges and amounts and applicable Sales Taxes, for each Service during the month or other specified interval to which such invoice relates. In addition to any other remedies for non-payment of any undisputed amount, if any payment for any undisputed amount is not received by the Provider on or before the date such undisputed amount is due, then a late payment interest charge, calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Benchmark Rate plus two percent (2%), shall immediately begin to accrue and any such late payment interest charges shall become immediately due.

SECTION 7.04. Withholding. Any and all payments made under this Agreement by the Receiver shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any taxes, except as required by applicable Law.

If the Provider is exempt from any such taxes, the Provider shall furnish the Receiver with a valid and properly completed certificate or other documentation required under applicable Law to establish such exemption. The Receiver shall promptly provide to such Provider tax receipts or other documents evidencing the payment of any such deducted or withheld amount to the applicable Governmental Authority. The Parties shall use, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Sales Taxes and taxes otherwise required to be deducted or withheld by each Receiver hereunder.

Each such amended Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement.
SECTION 8.03. Termination.

The termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not affect the Parties’ rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to any other Service.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by Law, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if the other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes insolvent, or a receiver is appointed for, or a court approves reorganization or arrangement proceedings on, such Party.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or Schedule A or Schedule B, a Receiver shall be entitled to terminate one or more Services being provided by any Provider for any reason or no reason at all, upon, as applicable (i) not less than 30 days’ prior written notice for Services with an Applicable Termination Date (as specified with respect to such Service in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, as of the date hereof) that is less than or equal to 12 months after the Closing Date or (ii) not less than 90 days’ prior written notice for Services with an Applicable Termination Date (as specified with respect to such Service in Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, as of the date hereof) that is more than 12 months after the Closing Date; provided that, in the event that the Provider sends a written notice to the Receiver stating that the proposed termination will materially and adversely affect the Provider’s ability to provide any other Services provided by the Provider, the proposed termination shall not be effective unless the Receiver agrees to also terminate such other affected Services.
(d) This Agreement or any Service may be terminated at any time by the mutual written agreement of the Parties.

In the event of any termination of this Agreement with respect to any Service by the Receiver prior to the expiration of the term for such Service as set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B, as applicable, as such term may have been extended pursuant to Section 8.02, the Receiver shall be liable for any third-party costs and expenses that the Provider is contractually obligated to pay in connection with such Service with respect to the remainder of the term of such Service; provided that the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any such costs and expenses.
SECTION 8.05. Return of Books, Records and Files. Upon the request of the Receiver after the termination of a Service with respect to which the Provider holds books, records or files, including current and archived copies of computer files, (a) owned solely by the Receiver or its Affiliates and used by the Provider in connection with the provision of a Service pursuant to this Agreement or (b) created by the Provider and in the Provider’s possession as a function of and relating solely to the provision of Services pursuant to this Agreement, such books, records and files shall either be returned to the Receiver or deleted or destroyed by the Provider, other than such books, records and files electronically preserved or recorded within any computerized data storage device or component (including any hard drive or database) pursuant to automatic or routine backup procedures generally accessible only by legal, IT or compliance personnel, which such books, records and files shall not be used by the Provider for any other purpose. Upon the request of the Receiver, the Provider shall provide confirmation of such deletion or destruction, if any.

Upon any such determination, any such provision, to the extent determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be deemed replaced by a provision that such court determines is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Vista Outdoor Announces Completion of CSG Transaction

Follows Receipt of Overwhelming Support from Stockholders

Revelyst Will Begin Trading on the New York Stock Exchange Under Ticker “GEAR” Today; SVP Transaction to Acquire Revelyst on Track to Close by January 2025

ANOKA, Minn. – November 27, 2024 – Vista Outdoor Inc. (“Vista Outdoor” or “the Company”) (NYSE: VSTO) today announced the completion of the sale of The Kinetic Group to Czechoslovak Group a.s. (“CSG”) (the “CSG Transaction”), following receipt of stockholder approval at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders on November 25, 2024. Under the terms of the merger agreement for the CSG Transaction, Vista Outdoor stockholders will receive $25.75 in cash and one share of Revelyst common stock for each share of Vista Outdoor common stock they hold.

“The completion of our sale of The Kinetic Group to CSG marks a significant milestone for our company and represents the successful culmination of our Board’s tireless efforts and robust process to deliver maximum value for stockholders,” said Michael Callahan, Chairman of the Vista Outdoor Board of Directors. “We are confident our leading ammunition brands will be well positioned under CSG’s ownership given its expertise in supply chain management and ammunition manufacturing, along with its shared commitment to expanding U.S. manufacturing and supporting NATO and allied nations. We also believe the transaction will create new opportunities for our dedicated employees and position The Kinetic Group for future growth and success.”

“We are pleased to complete the transaction with Vista Outdoor and look forward to welcoming The Kinetic Group’s talented team to the CSG family,” said Michal Strnad, CEO of CSG. “The Kinetic Group has a strong portfolio of leading ammunition brands, and we are confident our partnership will drive continued growth and innovation, as we deliver high quality ammunition products to customers and create long-term value together.”

Revelyst Will Begin Trading on NYSE Today; SVP Transaction on Track to Close by January 2025

Today, Revelyst will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “GEAR”. On October 4, 2024, Vista Outdoor entered into a definitive agreement under which funds managed by Strategic Value Partners, LLC (together and its affiliates, “SVP”) will acquire Revelyst in an all-cash transaction based on an enterprise value of $1.125 billion (the “SVP Transaction”). With the successful completion of the CSG Transaction, the SVP Transaction is expected to close by January 2025, subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Following the closing of the SVP Transaction, Revelyst will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

“The closing of the CSG Transaction represents another important step towards unlocking the potential of Revelyst with SVP,” said Revelyst CEO Eric Nyman. “We look forward to delivering significant value to our stockholders through the transaction and benefitting from SVP’s investment and expanded resources as we further our market leading position in the outdoor recreation industry. Until the SVP Transaction closes, we remain focused on advancing our strategic objectives, accelerating our GEAR UP efforts and delivering innovative, top-tier products to outdoor enthusiasts.”
