(Performance Based)
 
 
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT dated as of ___________ (the "Grant Date"),
is between ___________________ (the "Grantee") and JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC., a
Wisconsin corporation (the "Company").
 
RECITALS
 
A.    The Company has adopted the Johnson Outdoors Inc. 2010 Long-Term Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to provide eligible participants with the
opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their
proprietary interest, in the Company.  Capitalized terms used herein but not
defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the Plan or in Schedule 1
hereto, as applicable.
 
B.    The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors (the "Committee").
 
C.    The Committee has designated the Grantee as the recipient of an Award of
performance-based Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, and the Grantee and the
Company desire to enter into this Agreement setting forth the terms and
conditions of such Award of performance-based Restricted Stock Units.
 
AGREEMENTS
 
The Grantee and the Company agree as follows:
 
1.   Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  The Company hereby grants to the Grantee
_______ performance-based Restricted Stock Units (the "Target Grant") in
accordance with this Agreement and the Plan.
 
2.   Award Payment.  The actual number of Restricted Stock Units that the
Grantee earns during the Performance Period will be determined pursuant to
Schedule 1 attached hereto.  Unless deferred in accordance with Section 6, the
Company will issue to Grantee, as soon as administratively practicable after the
Certification Date and in any event on or prior to 15 days thereafter, one share
of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit earned by the Grantee pursuant to
Schedule 1.
 
3.   Termination of Employment.
 
 
 
 
1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(b) below, the Grantee must be
an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries continuously from the
Grant Date until the Certification Date in order for the Grantee to receive any
shares of Common Stock with respect to the Restricted Stock Units the Grantee
may earn pursuant to Schedule 1.
 
(b)    If the Grantee's employment with the Company or its Subsidiary, as
applicable, terminates prior to the Certification Date (i) as a result of
Grantee's death, (ii) because Grantee suffers a Disability (as defined below) or
(iii) voluntarily by Grantee after age 65, then the Grantee will be entitled to
receive a pro-rated number of shares of Common Stock with respect to any
Restricted Stock Units the Grantee may earn pursuant to Schedule 1 (pro-rated
based on the number of days during the Performance Period that the Grantee
remained continuously employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries).  The
Grantee will only be entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock following
the Certification Date to the extent earned during the full Performance Period
pursuant to Schedule 1.
   
(c)    For purposes of this Section 3, "Disability" means mental or physical
impairment such that the Grantee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful
activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment
which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected
to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
 
4.   Change in Capital Structure.  The number of shares of Common Stock covered
by the Target Grant will be adjusted in the event of a stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, acquisition or other change in the capital structure of the
Company as determined by the Committee in accordance with the Plan.
 
5.   Change of Control.   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, Schedule 1
or the Plan to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as
defined in Section 10(k) of the Plan) 100% of the Target Grant shall immediately
be deemed to have been earned.
 
6.   Deferral.  At any time prior to the due date for the deferral election
established by the Company and reflected on Schedule 2 (which must be prior to
the date of this Agreement), the Grantee may submit to the Secretary of the
Company an election in the form of Schedule 2 to this Agreement to defer receipt
of all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
Grantee with respect to the Restricted Stock Units that the Grantee may earn in
accordance with Schedule 1.  Such election may also be designated by the Grantee
as a standing deferral election that would apply to all future grants of
Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee under the Plan until a revocation of the
deferral election is effective in compliance with Code section 409A.  To the
extent the Grantee has made a prior standing deferral election that has not been
revoked prior to the Grant Date in compliance with Code section 409A, such
standing deferral election will apply to this grant of Restricted Stock
Units.  The Grantee may only make a deferral election once that applies to this
grant of Restricted Stock Units and any such deferral election may not be
modified or amended as to this grant of Restricted Stock Units by the Grantee
after the Grant Date.

be conclusively presumed that any notice or statement properly addressed and
mailed bearing the required postage stamps has been delivered to the party to

sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future

Grantee's consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee

otherwise impose any obligation to employ and/or retain Grantee as a service
provider.

unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the
claim.  If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall

period and in no event shall such an extension exceed a period of ninety (90)

shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date on
which the Board expects to render a decision on the claim.  Any claim not
granted or denied within the period noted above (including applicable
extensions) shall be deemed to have been denied.
 
Any Claimant whose claim is denied or deemed to have been denied may, within
sixty (60) days after the Claimant's receipt of notice of the denial (or after
the date of the deemed denial, if applicable), request a review of the denial by
notice given, in writing, to the Board.  Upon such a request for review, the
claim shall be reviewed by the Board, who may, but shall not be required to,
grant the Claimant a hearing.  In connection with the review, the Claimant may
have representation, may examine and receive copies (free of charge) of
pertinent documents, and may submit issues and comments in writing.
 
The decision on review normally shall be made and communicated to the Claimant
in writing within sixty (60) days of the Board's receipt of the request for
review.  If an extension of time is required due to special circumstances, the
Claimant shall be notified, in writing, by the Board, and the time limit for the
decision on review shall be extended to up to one-hundred twenty (120)
days.  The written decision on review shall, in a manner calculated to be
understood by the Claimant: (a) state the reasons for the decision; (b) cite
pertinent Plan, Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, or this Election's provisions;
(c) inform the Claimant that he or she is entitled, upon request and free of
charge, reasonably to review and receive copies of relevant documents, and (d)
inform the Claimant of his or her right to bring suit under Section 502(a) of
ERISA now that his or her claim has been denied on appeal.  If the decision on
review is not communicated to the Claimant within the sixty- (60-) day (or
applicable, the 120-day) period discussed above, the claim shall be deemed to
have been denied upon review.  All decisions on review shall be final and
binding with respect to all concerned parties.
 
No person shall be entitled to file suit for benefits under this Election until
he or she has exhausted all of the administrative remedies set forth above.
 
Interpretation and Amendment. This Election is intended to be a plan of deferred
compensation maintained for a select group of eligible participants, and shall

to satisfy Code section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company may amend this Election without the Grantee's consent to add, alter
or remove any provision that the Company deems necessary, appropriate or
advisable to comply with Code section 409A.  If there is more than one way to
add, alter or remove a provision to comply with Code section 409A, the Company
shall have the discretion to choose the alternative it believes to be in the
best interests of the Grantee generally and the Company.
