Re: Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. (“Borrower”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Lender”), dated as of March 1, 2009, as amended (“Credit Agreement”)
Dear Dave:
     We have previously granted our approval to Borrower and/or Danner, Inc. (“Danner”) making investments in tenant improvements and other fixed assets in calendar year 2010 in connection with the move of the Borrower/Danner Portland factory to a new facility at 18201 NE Portal Way, Portland, Oregon 97230, and the move of the Portland factory outlet store to a new facility at 12021 NE Airport Way, Suite B, Portland, Oregon 97220, and making investments in other fixed assets. Our approval was subject to the proviso that the total investments in fixed assets by Borrower, Danner and Borrower’s other Material Subsidiaries, for all purposes in calendar years 2009 and 2010, shall not exceed $15,000,000 combined for the two years. We hereby increase that limit from $15,000,000 to $17,500,000. All other provisions of the Loan Documents, as modified by our prior letter agreements with respect thereto, remain in effect.
     Terms that are used in this letter that are defined in the Credit Agreement have the same meaning in this letter that they are given in the Credit Agreement.
