The Reporting Person reserves the right not to dispose of all or part of such Common Stock if he is unable to obtain the consideration he deems appropriate. The Reporting Person currently plans to support the proposed merger of Rawlings and K2 Inc. by voting in favor of the merger any Common Stock as to which he retains the right to vote on the merger.

     Other than as described above, the Reporting Person does not have any current plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, (a) any acquisition or disposition by him of securities of Rawlings, (b) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Rawlings or any of its subsidiaries, (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Rawlings or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of Rawlings, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board, (e) any material change in Rawlings’s present capitalization or dividend policy, (f) any other material change in Rawlings’s business or corporate structure, (g) any changes in Rawlings’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of Rawlings by any person, (h) causing a class of securities of Rawlings to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of Rawlings’s equity securities becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.
