Shields (the “Consultant”). YETI desires to retain Consultant as an independent contractor as of the Commencement Date to perform consulting services for YETI on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Consultancy”). In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. SERVICES AND COMPENSATION

(a) Consultant agrees to perform for YETI the services (“Services”) described in Exhibit A attached hereto.

(b) YETI agrees to pay Consultant the compensation set forth in Exhibit A for the future performance of the Services and for the agreements made by Consultant herein.

2. CONFIDENTIALITY

(a) Definition. “Confidential Information” means any YETI proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customers/dealers, customer/dealer lists, markets, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed by YETI both before and after the Commencement Date, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of parts or equipment. For the avoidance of doubt, all Work Product is the Confidential Information of YETI.

(b) Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. Consultant will not, during or subsequent to the term of this Agreement, use YETI’s Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than the performance of the Services on behalf of YETI or disclose YETI’s Confidential Information to any third party. It is understood that said Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of YETI. Consultant further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information including, but not limited to, having each employee of Consultant, if any, with access to any Confidential Information, execute a nondisclosure agreement containing provisions in YETI’s favor identical to Section 2 of this Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information which: (i) is known to Consultant at the time of disclosure to Consultant by YETI as evidenced by written records of Consultant; (ii) has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Consultant; or (iii) has been rightfully received by Consultant from a third party who is authorized to make such disclosure. Without YETI’s prior written approval, Consultant will not directly or indirectly disclose to anyone the existence of this Agreement or the fact that Consultant has this arrangement with YETI.

(c) Third Party Confidential Information. Consultant recognizes that YETI has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on YETI’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Consultant agrees that Consultant owes YETI and such third parties, during the term of this

CONFIDENTIAL

Agreement and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Services for YETI consistent with YETI’s agreement with such third party.

(d) Other Consultant Confidential Information. Consultant agrees that Consultant will not, during the term of this Agreement, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any third party with which Consultant has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information acquired by Consultant, if any, and that Consultant will not bring onto the premises of YETI any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to such party unless consented to in writing by such party. Consultant will indemnify YETI and hold it harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any alleged or actual violation or misappropriation of a third party’s rights resulting in whole or in part from YETI’s use of the work product of Consultant under this Agreement.

(e) Return of Materials. Upon the termination of this Agreement, or upon YETI’s earlier request, Consultant will deliver to YETI all of YETI’s property or Confidential Information that Consultant may have in Consultant’s possession or control.

3. OWNERSHIP

(a) Assignment. Consultant agrees that all copyrightable material, notes, records, works of authorship, drawings, designs, inventions (whether or not patentable), improvements, developments, discoveries, know-how, ideas, information and trade secrets (collectively, “Work Product”) conceived, discovered, developed or reduced to practice by Consultant, solely or in collaboration with others, from the Commencement Date through the term of this Agreement which relate in any manner to the business of YETI that Consultant may be directed to undertake in performing the Services hereunder are the sole property of YETI.

Consultant further agrees that Consultant’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in Consultant’s power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement.

If Consultant is reclassified by a state or federal agency or court as an employee, Consultant will become a reclassified employee and will receive no benefits except those mandated by state or federal law, even if by the terms of YETI’s benefit plans in effect at the time of such reclassification Consultant would otherwise be eligible for such benefits.
