retains the right to unilaterally decrease or increase such officers’ base salaries at any time
during the fiscal year. The annual base salaries for the Named Executive Officers and for the

     This SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of November 24, 2008 (the
“Effective Date”) by and between JEPCO DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LLC, an Oregon limited liability
company, as successor-in-interest to Jepco Development Company, a general partnership (“Lessor”),
and LACROSSE FOOTWEAR, INC., a Wisconsin corporation (“Lessee”).

RECITALS

     A. Lessor and Lessee are parties to that certain Lease, dated as of March 14,
1994, as amended by that certain Lease Amendment and Option Exercise (the “First

Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, certain real property located at 12722 NE Airport

“Premises”).

     B. The term of the Lease was originally set to expire on March 13, 2004. By
entering into the First Amendment, Lessee exercised its first option to extend the term of the
Lease and the Lease is now set to expire on March 13, 2009.

     C. Lessor and Lessee now desire to extend the First Extended Term of the Lease
to May 31, 2010, to increase the rent payable under the Lease, and to make certain other
amendments to the Lease, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:

1. Lease Amendments.

     a. Term. Section 2(b) of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that the First
Extended Term of the Lease shall expire on May 31, 2010. Section 2(c) of the Lease is
hereby amended to provide that the Second Extended Term shall only be exercisable by
written notice given to Lessor at least eight (8) months prior to expiration of the First
Extended Term.

     b. Rent. Section 3(a) of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that, in addition
to any adjustment made pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Lease, the rent payable under the
Lease shall be increased on March 1, 2009 by $5,655 per month.

     c. Skylights. Lessor hereby agrees to install on the roof of the Premises the new
skylights described in the purchase order attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

     d. Maintenance. Lessor hereby represents to Lessee that, to Lessor’s actual
knowledge, Lessee is not currently in default under the Lease with respect to its obligations to
maintain the Premises.

2. Capitalized Terms.

     All capitalized terms used in this Amendment, which are not defined herein, shall have the
same meaning as in the Lease.

3. Miscellaneous.

     Except as set forth herein, the Lease remains in full force and effect. This Amendment may be
executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. Delivery of an
executed signature page to this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as

GUIDE FOR PROPER USE OF GORE’S TRADEMARKS

W. L. Gore & Associates owns many valuable trademarks that identify and distinguish our products
from those of other companies. Gore’s trademarks are well known to the end users and signify that
Licensees are buying quality, state-of-the-art products from a company with a reputation for
innovation, dependability, and integrity. Significant time, effort, and money have been spent in
the research, development, and promotion of these products.

The Trademark License Agreement provides the Licensee with the ability to use specific Gore
trademarks for the promotion and sale of Licensee’s Products, for example,
outerwear/footwear/gloves (or other apparel accessories) as the case may be, under the terms and
conditions of its License. This is intended to provide benefits to both Gore and Licensee.
However, Licensee’s cooperation is required to assure that Gore’s trademarks are correctly used.

Trademarks
can be lost if they are not used correctly. A trademark is lost when it becomes generic
and sneaks into the language as a common name description of the product, as distinguished from
the source and identity of the product. If a trademark becomes generic, the original owner loses
exclusive rights to use the mark. Any competitor can then use the trademark and take advantage of
the advertising and promotion dollars spent by the former owner.

Fortunately, it is fairly easy to protect Gore’s trademarks. Licensee needs only to comply with
the following rules of proper trademark usage. These serve as examples only. Licensee will
substitute licensed trademarks per the Trademark Attachment as appropriate.

	1.	 	Most importantly, a trademark is a proper adjective, NOT a noun or a verb. When
used such as in advertising, catalogues, promotions, brochures, hang tags, radio, etc., the trademark
must always be followed by a noun signifying its generic or common name. The trademark
must never be used alone when it appears in text.

EXAMPLE:

Right:     “TRADEMARK” ® products

Wrong:   products made of “TRADEMARK” ®
	 
	2.	 	A trademark should always be used in a manner that will distinguish it from the
surrounding text. Capitalize trademarks completely, or use initial caps with boldface type or
italics. The generic product name should not be used in the same manner as the trademark
(for instance, if the trademark is presented in all capital letters, the generic product name
should not be).

EXAMPLE:

Right:       “TRADEMARK” ® products

Wrong:    “TRADEMARK” ® PRODUCTS
	 
	3.	 	Trademarks should be followed by the symbol “®” or “TM”, or no
designation at all, as appropriate for a given mark in a particular given geographical market.
The appropriate trademark symbol should always appear at least once in each piece of printed
matter, preferably the first time the trademark appears. Please contact your Gore
representative to determine your appropriate designation.

Pages 1 of 2

 

	4.	 	Always accompany the trademark with the appropriate trademark ownership footnote. The
footnote usually appears at the bottom of the last page. All Gore trademarks used by the
Licensee must be listed in the trademark ownership footnote.

EXAMPLE:

“TRADEMARK”® products

Footnote: “TRADEMARK”® and designs are trademarks of W. L. Gore & Associates.
	 
	5.	 	Trademarks should never be used in the possessive
sense.

EXAMPLE:

Right:       The popularity of “TRADEMARK” ® products 

Wrong:     “TRADEMARK”s popularity
	 
	6.	 	Do not coin new words or terms for a trademark.

EXAMPLE:

Wrong:    “TRADEMARKED” products

	 
	7.	 	Trademarks identify and distinguish Gore’s products from those
of other companies, therefore, Gore’s trademarks must not be combined or
intermingled with the trademarks of other companies.

EXAMPLE:

Right:     “TRADEMARK” ® products by (Company’s Name)

                “TRADEMARK”
® products, the _________ collection from (Company Name)

Wrong:   (Company Name) “TRADEMARK” ® products

                (Company Name)’s “TRADEMARK” ® products
	 
	8.	 	In case of any doubts, please consult with your Gore representative for the correct
interpretation and implementation of the above guidelines.
