Exchange Agreement

THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, dated as of October 22, 2003 (the “Agreement”), is by and between K2 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Charter Oak Partners (the “Stockholder”), a Connecticut limited partnership and a stockholder of Brass Eagle Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Acquisition and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for (a) the Offer by Parent to purchase all of the outstanding Shares of the Company and (b) the merger of Acquisition with and into the Company (the “Merger”).

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder owns (beneficially and of record) an aggregate of 3,674,474 Shares (all Shares so owned and which may hereafter be acquired by the Stockholder prior to the termination of this Agreement, whether by means of purchase, dividend, distribution or otherwise, being referred to herein as the “Owned Shares”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that the Stockholder enter into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder is willing to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent and the Stockholder hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.1. Tender of Shares. In no event later than two (2) business days prior to the Initial Expiration Date, the Stockholder shall tender (or cause to be tendered) all of the Owned Shares in exchange for shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to and in accordance with the Offer, and not withdraw or revoke such tender (or cause such tender to be withdrawn or revoked), except in the event that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 5.2 below.

Section 1.2. No Inconsistent Actions. Except as contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder shall not, during the term of this Agreement (a) transfer (which term shall include, without limitation, any sale, assignment, gift, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition), or consent to any transfer of, any or all of the Owned Shares owned by it or any interest therein, or create or permit to exist any Lien on the Owned Shares owned by it, (b) enter into any contract, option or other agreement or understanding with respect to any transfer of any or all of the Owned Shares owned by it or any interest therein, (c) grant any proxy, power-of- attorney or other authorization in or with respect to the Owned Shares owned by it, (d) deposit the Owned Shares owned by it into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Owned Shares owned by it, (e) take any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of its obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement or (f) object to, or otherwise commence or support any proceeding or material action to oppose, the Offer or take any action that is materially inconsistent with the covenants of the Stockholder included herein or would unreasonably delay the consummation of the Offer.

Section 1.3. Stop Transfer. The Stockholder shall not request that the Company register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Owned Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement.

Section 1.4 Disclosure. The Stockholder agrees that it will permit public disclosure, including in a press release and in the S-4, Offer Documents and Schedule 14D-9, if applicable, of the contents of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the disclosure of the Stockholder’s intent to tender and recommendation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder agrees that it shall not make any announcement of disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent.

Section 1.5. No Solicitation. During the Term, the Stockholder shall not, nor shall it permit or authorize any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) to, (a) solicit, initiate or encourage, directly or indirectly, any inquiries regarding, or the submission of, any proposal for a Third Party Acquisition or (b) enter into any agreement with respect to any proposal for a Third Party Acquisition or approve or resolve to approve any proposal for a Third Party Acquisition; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Stockholder from complying with its obligations under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall, and it shall cause each of its Representatives to, immediately cease any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties with respect to any of the foregoing. The Stockholder shall promptly notify Parent in the event it receives any proposal or inquiry concerning a Third Party Acquisition, including the terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the party submitting such proposal, and the Stockholder shall advise Parent from time to time of the status and any material developments concerning the same.

Section 2.1. Parent Board of Directors. Parent acknowledges and agrees that if, solely upon the first vacancy on the board of directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”), if any, to occur during the period from the Effective Time to the first anniversary of the Effective Time, the Stockholder owns (beneficially and of record) an aggregate of no less than 5% of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding on such date, such vacancy on the Parent Board shall be filled by action of the Parent Board with a nominee mutually acceptable to Parent and the Stockholder.

Except for filings, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals as may be required under applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the HSR Act and any filings under similar merger notification laws or regulations of foreign Governmental Entities, no filing with or notice to and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of Governmental Entity is necessary for the execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement or the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications would not prevent or delay the

performance by the Stockholder of the obligations to be performed by it under this Agreement.. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder nor the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in a violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration or Lien) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or its properties or assets are bound or (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree to which the Stockholder is subject, or any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Stockholder or any of its properties or assets, except for violations, breaches or defaults that would not prevent or delay the performance by the Stockholder of the obligations to be performed by it under this Agreement.

Section 3.4. Certain Commitments. The Stockholder hereby represents that the Stockholder is not, and that from the date hereof through and including the Closing Date, neither the Stockholder nor any transferee of the Owned Shares shall become, subject to a binding commitment to sell, exchange or transfer by gift (or take any other action that would be treated for federal income tax purposes as a disposition of) any of the Offer Consideration to be received by it pursuant to the Offer.

Section 4.2. Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except for filings, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals as may be required under applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the HSR Act and any filings under similar merger notification laws or regulations of foreign Governmental Entities, no filing with or notice to and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of Governmental Entity is necessary for the execution and delivery by Parent of this Agreement or the consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications would not prevent or delay the performance by Parent of the obligations to be performed by it under this Agreement..

not later than two (2) trading days prior to the Expiration Date (giving effect to any extension of the Offer, but not to any subsequent offer pursuant to Section 1.1) is less than $12.64 and (ii) as a result of such event, the Stockholder does not intend to tender the Owned Shares, and the Stockholder has provided notice of such intent to Parent no later than two (2) trading days following the expiration of such ten (10) consecutive trading days. No such termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to termination.

Section 5.3. Further Assurance.

Any agreement on the part of any party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument, in writing, signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 5.7. Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings both written and oral between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that Parent may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations.

Section 5.8 Validity. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and to such end the provisions of this Agreement are agreed to be severable.
