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

(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.

"Operating Income" means the annual income from Columbia Sportswear Company operations for the fiscal year in the Performance Period as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements of Columbia Sportswear Company.

(ii) Treatment on Termination of Service; Payout of Award. If the Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company prior to an annual vesting date, and such termination of employment is not due to the Recipient’s death or disability, or on any date that is on or after the Recipient’s retirement eligibility date, the Recipient shall immediately forfeit any unvested portion of the Award. In the event the Recipient terminates on any date that is on or after the Recipient’s retirement eligibility date, 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. Payment of the vested award, including following the Recipient’s retirement, subject to adjustment based on “Operating Income”, will occur prior to the end of the month of February in the year following the vesting date. For purposes of this Agreement, “retirement” shall have the same meaning as provided in the applicable policy maintained by the Company 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. In the event the Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company due to the Recipient’s death or disability, the Recipient’s Award shall not be immediately forfeited and shall instead vest at the target amount as provided in Section 1(b) of this Agreement, and shall be paid out as soon as practicable to the beneficiary(ies) stated by the Recipient in the Nominee (beneficiary) form.
    

This Agreement, together with the Plan, embodies the complete Agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and pre-empts any prior written or oral understandings, agreements or representations by or among any of the parties that may have related to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the
