EXECUTION VERSION

PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 1, 2012, by
and between Open Water Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Buyer”), and WBG-PSS Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Parent”). Buyer and Parent are referred to collectively herein as the
“Parties.” Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below). This
Agreement is joined in by Wolverine World Wide, Inc., a Delaware corporation and
the sole member of Buyer (“Wolverine”), solely for purposes of Sections 5(a) and
6.

WHEREAS, Parent is a party to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Parent, WBG-PSS
Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent
(“Merger Sub”), Wolverine and Collective Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Colt”).

WHEREAS, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement (the “Merger”), (a) Colt shall become a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent and (b) the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Colt (each,
a “Colt Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Colt Subsidiaries”) shall become
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent.

WHEREAS, certain of the Colt Subsidiaries set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto
(the “PLG Subsidiaries”) are engaged in the conduct of Colt’s “Performance +
Lifestyle Group” business (the “PLG Business”).

WHEREAS, immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, Parent shall cause certain assets of the Colt Subsidiaries
other than the PLG Subsidiaries (the “Retained Companies”) that are used
primarily in the conduct of the PLG Business as agreed between Parent and Buyer
to be conveyed to the PLG Subsidiaries, and certain assets of the PLG
Subsidiaries that are used primarily in the conduct of Colt’s other businesses
as agreed between Parent and Buyer to be conveyed to the Retained Companies.

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase the PLG Subsidiaries from the Surviving
Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, and Parent desires to cause the
Surviving Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries to sell to Buyer the PLG
Subsidiaries at the Effective Time.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein
made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants
herein contained, the Parties agree as follows.

Buyer or one or more of its subsidiaries, all of its right, title and interest
in and to the capital stock, limited liability company interests or other equity
interest of the PLG Subsidiaries (the “PLG Shares”), any other securities
convertible into PLG Shares or any right to payment from the PLG Subsidiaries
(“PLG Convertible Instruments”) for the consideration specified below in §1(b)
(the transaction, the “Carveout Sale”). The PLG Shares and the PLG Convertible
Instruments are the “PLG Securities”.

(b) Purchase Price. In consideration of the Carveout Sale, Buyer agrees to pay,

the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors, legal

delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or

Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its

(including by means of facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original

convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation
of this Agreement.

(e) Governing Law; No Jury.

(i) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE
INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO
THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
The Parties (and Colt, through its acceptance or enforcement of any of the
benefits, commitments or other provisions set forth in this Agreement) hereby
irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware, or to the extent such court does not have
subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District
of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) solely in respect of the interpretation and
enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to
herein, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby
waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding
for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is
not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought
or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts or that the Chosen Courts are an
inconvenient forum or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate, or that
this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such Chosen
Courts, and the parties hereto (and Colt, through its acceptance or enforcement
of any of the benefits, commitments or other provisions set forth in this
Agreement) irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such action, suit or
proceeding shall be heard and determined in the Chosen Courts. The Parties (and
Colt, through its acceptance or enforcement of any of the benefits, commitments
or other provisions set forth in this Agreement) hereby consent to and grant any
such Chosen Court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the
extent permitted by Law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that
mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or
proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.6 of the Merger Agreement or in

(ii) EACH PARTY (AND COLT, THROUGH ITS ACCEPTANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE
BENEFITS, COMMITMENTS OR OTHER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT)
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE
IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS,
(II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III)
IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
CONTAINED HEREIN.

(f) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement
shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer and
Parent; provided, however, that any amendment to this Agreement that could
adversely affect the interest of Colt as a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement shall require the prior written consent of Colt, which consent may be
withheld, conditioned or delayed in its sole discretion. No waiver by any Party
of any provision of this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation, or breach
of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver
nor shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default,
misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any
way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(g) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly
by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of
this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. statute
or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall
mean including without limitation.

§6. Wolverine Undertaking. Wolverine will cause Buyer to comply with the
obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement subject to the
terms and conditions hereof.
