This Long-Term Incentive Cash Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of ___________ (the “Award Date”) by and between Columbia Sportswear Company, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and ___________ (the “Recipient”).

The Award is made pursuant to Section 7 of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Recipient desires to accept the award subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree to the following.

1.Award. The Company awards to the Recipient under the Plan a Long-Term Incentive Cash Award with a target amount of _______________ (the “Award”), subject to forfeiture or increase as provided in Section 1(c) of this Agreement and to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(a)Rights under Award. The Award represents the unfunded, unsecured right to require the Company to deliver to the Recipient a payment in cash as provided in this Agreement. The amount of cash deliverable with respect to the Award is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1(c) of this Agreement.

(b)Vesting Date. The Award shall initially be 100% unvested and subject to forfeiture. The portion of the Award not forfeited pursuant to Section 1(c) of this Agreement shall vest on the date (the “Vesting Date”) on which the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) confirms the Cumulative Operating Income and Average ROIC, as defined below (collectively, the “Performance Results”), for the Performance Period, as defined below; provided, however, that to the extent the Recipient has not been employed by the Company continuously from the Award Date to the Vesting Date, any portion of the Award not forfeited pursuant to Section 1(c) of this Agreement shall vest on the Vesting Date with respect to a prorated amount calculated based on Recipient’s days of continuous employment from the beginning of the Performance Period through the date Recipient’s employment terminated. If the Vesting Date falls on a weekend or any other day on which the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NSM”) or any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock then is principally traded (the “Exchange”) is not open, affected portions of the Award shall vest on the next following NSM or Exchange business day, as the case may be.

(c)Adjustment of Award.

1.Forfeiture of Award on Termination of Service. If the Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company prior to the Vesting Date, and such termination of employment is not due to the Recipient’s retirement, disability or death on any date that is after the later of (i) the

second anniversary of the first day of the applicable Performance Period and (ii) if retirement, the Recipient’s retirement eligibility date (a “Qualified Termination”), the Recipient shall immediately forfeit the Award pursuant to this Agreement and the Recipient shall have no right to receive the related cash payment. Absence on leave approved by the Company (or, if the Recipient is an executive officer of the Company, by the Board of Directors), shall not be deemed a termination or interruption of employment or service. Unless otherwise determined by the Company or the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, (i) vesting of Award shall continue during a medical, family or military leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid, and (ii) vesting of Award shall be suspended during, and the amount of the cash payment deliverable at the Vesting Date shall be proportionately reduced as a result of, any other unpaid leave of absence. In the event of a Recipient’s Qualified Termination, the Recipient’s Award shall not be immediately forfeited and shall instead be eligible to vest on a prorated basis as provided in Section 1(b) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “retirement” shall have the same meaning as provided in the applicable policy maintained by the Company or the Employer for the benefit of the Recipient or, in the absence of such policy, as determined by the Board in its discretion in accordance with applicable law.

2.Forfeiture of Award on Violation of Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Recipient acknowledges that compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is a condition to the receipt and vesting of the Award. If, during the term of this Agreement, the Board of Directors (or a committee of directors designated by the Board of Directors) determines in good faith that the Recipient’s conduct is or has been in violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, then the Board of Directors or committee may cause the Recipient to immediately forfeit all or a portion of the unvested Award granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Recipient shall have no right to receive the related cash payment.

3.Forfeiture or Increase of Award Based on Performance. For the period beginning _____________ and ending _____________ (the “Performance Period”), the Award shall be adjusted as follows.

(i)50% of the Award (the “Operating Income Component”) is subject to increase or forfeiture (and if forfeited the Recipient shall have no right to receive the related cash payment) based on the Cumulative Operating Income of the Company in the Performance Period, as defined below. The Operating Income Component will be adjusted by multiplying it by the “Payout as a % of Target” percentage set forth in the table below. If results are between data points, the percentage of the Award payable shall be determined by interpolation between data points.

“Cumulative Operating Income” means the sum of the annual income from operations for each of the fiscal years in the Performance Period as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, excluding the following items (collectively, the “Excluded Effects”), for the Performance Period:

(ii)50% of the Award (the “ROIC Component”) is subject to increase or forfeiture (and if forfeited the Recipient shall have no right to receive the related cash payment) based on the Average ROIC of the Company in the Performance Period, as defined below. The ROIC Component will be adjusted by multiplying it by the “Payout as a % of Target” percentage set forth in the table below. If results are between data points, the percentage of the Award payable shall be determined by interpolation between data points.

“Average ROIC” means the average annual percentage return on invested capital in the Performance Period, excluding the Excluded Effects. The return on invested capital is calculated as follows.

The sum of the Award adjustments calculated in (i) and (ii) above will represent the final payout result under the Award.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, disregard all or any part of any Excluded Effects when determining the Performance Results for the Performance Period.

(d)Restrictions on Transfer and Delivery on Death. The Recipient may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of the Award subject to this Agreement. If the Recipient dies before the delivery date, the shares will be delivered to the Recipient’s estate.

(e)Payment. As soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, provided that the Recipient has completed, signed and returned any documents and taken any additional action the Company deems appropriate, the Company shall pay in cash the amount represented by the vested portion of the Award to the Recipient. In the in the event of the Recipient’s death or total disability, the cash payment will be made to the Recipient’s beneficiary or executor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delivery date may be delayed in order to provide the Company such time as it determines appropriate to determine tax withholding and other administrative matters; provided, however, that in any event the cash payment shall be made not later than the later to occur of the date that is 2 1/2 months from the end of (i) the Recipient’s tax year that includes the Vesting Date, or (ii) the Company’s tax year that includes the Vesting Date.

(f)Taxes and Tax Withholding.

(i)The Recipient acknowledges that under United States federal tax laws in effect on the Award Date, the Recipient will have taxable compensation income at the time of vesting based on the amount of the cash payment made to the Recipient pursuant to the Award. The Recipient shall be responsible for all taxes imposed in connection with the Award, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. The Company makes no representation or undertaking regarding the adequacy of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award.

(ii)The Company shall deduct from any and all cash payments pursuant to the Award all domestic or foreign income, employment or other tax withholding obligation, whether national, federal, state or local (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”), arising as a result of any grant, vesting or payment of cash pursuant to this Award, in amounts determined by the Company.

In addition to other remedies that may be available to the Company, the Recipient shall pay to the

Company in cash, upon demand, the net value of any cash payment made under this Agreement if the Recipient violates this Section 1(g).

(h)Not a Contract of Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed as a contract of employment between the Company and the Recipient and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Recipient any right to be continued in the employment of the Company or any subsidiary or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary by whom the Recipient is employed to terminate the Recipient’s employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or to decrease the Recipient’s compensation or benefits.
