 FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
the undersigned, COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY, an Oregon corporation (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Bank”) on the Maturity Date the principal sum of Fifty Million
Dollars ($50,000,000.00), or such lesser amount as shall equal the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Loans made by Bank to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement referred to below. 
  
 This promissory note is the Note referred to in, and subject to the terms of,
that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of July 31, 1997, as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings
assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 Borrower further
promises to pay interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof at the interest rates, and payable on the dates, set forth in the Credit Agreement. All payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made by Bank at Bank’s office in
lawful money of the United States and in same day or immediately available funds. 
  
 Bank is authorized but not required to record the date and amount of each advance made hereunder, the date and amount of each payment of principal and interest hereunder, and the resulting unpaid principal balance
hereof, in Bank’s internal records, and any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided however, that Bank’s failure to so record shall not limit or otherwise affect
Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement to repay the principal hereof and interest hereon. 
  
 The Credit Agreement provides, among other things, for acceleration (which in certain cases shall be automatic) of the maturity hereof upon the occurrence
of certain stated events, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. 
  

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this promissory note and the terms of the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall
control. 
  
 This promissory note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon. 
  
 UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY BANK AFTER OCTOBER 3, 1989 CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE
BORROWER’S RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY BANK TO BE ENFORCEABLE.
