Bonus Plan

 Exhibit 10.14 

eResearchTechnology, Inc. 
 2011 Bonus Plan 
 Set forth below is a summary of the eResearchTechnology,
Inc. (“ERT” or the “Company”) 2011 Bonus Plan (the “2011 Plan”) approved by the Compensation Committee and ratified by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings on December 7, 2010, to be effective for
fiscal 2011. 
 The purpose of the 2011 Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing
employees with financial rewards upon achievement of specified business objectives, as well as help us attract and retain employees by providing attractive compensation opportunities linked to performance results. All of our employees are eligible
to participate in the 2011 Plan, subject in some cases to certain waiting periods and with the exception that certain sales personnel participate in a separate commission incentive plan instead of the 2011 Plan. 

Bonuses payable under the 2011 Plan are recommended by the Compensation Committee and presented to the Board. Bonuses payable to eligible
participants are based on a variety of factors, including both objective and subjective criteria. The objective criteria consist of targets for revenue, net income and the revenue projected to be generated by new contracts into which we enter
regardless of when we actually recognize the revenue (the “Contract Revenues”). The subjective criteria consist of individual performance goals and objectives. 
 The revenue and net income targets at which 2011 Plan participants would earn 100% of the bonus opportunity attributable to those targets is within the range for revenues and net income provided as
guidance for 2011 in the Company’s press release issued on March 1, 2011. The Board intends that the 2011 Plan participants earn the full bonus opportunity with respect to those targets only if the Company executes its financial business
plan and achieves superior performance notwithstanding current economic conditions. 
 The Compensation Committee establishes
the individual performance goals and objectives of the President and Chief Executive Officer. The President and Chief Executive Officer establishes the individual performance goals and objectives for the Company’s other executive officers,
subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. Performance objectives for the remainder of the 2011 Plan participants are set by departmental supervisors who establish the individual performance goals in their respective departments for these
participants. 
 Each participant in the 2011 Plan will be eligible to receive 50% to 150% of their 2011 bonus opportunity that
is allocable to each objective target category, based on the extent to which we achieve the various specified targets. Amounts payable based on achievement of individual performance objectives can range from 0-100% of the applicable bonus
opportunity. 

  
 1 

 For individual performance goals, (i) the Compensation Committee or the Board, at the
request of the Compensation Committee after providing its recommendations to the Board, determines the extent to which the goals have been achieved and any related bonus has been earned for the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer;
(ii) the Compensation Committee or the Board, at the request of the Compensation Committee after providing its recommendations to the Board, determines the extent to which the goals have been achieved and any related bonus has been earned for
the remaining executive officers, after receiving the recommendation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer; and (iii) the participant’s departmental supervisor determines the extent to which the goals have been
achieved and any related bonus has been earned for the remainder of the participants under the 2011 Plan.

	(1)	Under the terms of a Consultant Agreement between Joel Morganroth, M.D., P.C. and the Company, Dr. Morganroth’s professional corporation is entitled to an 80%
commission of the net amounts we bill for Dr. Morganroth’s services to the customers of the Company’s consulting practice. These commissions are not included in the table above. 

Effective May 1, 2011, our Board appointed Dr. Litwin to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with
this appointment, and at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board confirmed that Dr. Litwin’s bonus opportunity for the first four months of 2011 would be a pro rata portion of the opportunity set forth in the table
above, or $60,833.33, which would be earned, if at all, based on the same criteria set forth in the table. For the last eight months of 2011, our Board, again on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, established a bonus opportunity of
$275,000 for Dr. Litwin, of which 15% will be based on revenues, 55% will be based on net income and 30% will be based on individual performance goals. 

  
 3 

 Bonuses are payable based on the extent to which annual targets have been achieved, with the
bonuses (if any) normally being paid within ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which the bonuses were earned. Bonuses normally will be paid in cash in a single lump sum, subject to payroll taxes and tax withholdings, as
applicable. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee retains the discretion under the 2011 Plan to adjust or
recommend to the Board an adjustment to the amount of any bonus to be paid, regardless of whether or the extent to which any of the objective criteria, including revenue, net income, Contract Revenues and Consulting Profits, are achieved, and the
Board retains the discretion to make any such adjustment it deems appropriate.

 REPLACEMENT REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE 
 (VARIABLE MAXIMUM) 

 

			
	$35,000,000.00	 	Portland, Oregon
		 	December 22, 2011

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned LACROSSE FOOTWEAR, INC. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the
order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at Portland RCBO, 1300 S. W. Fifth Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97201, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Thirty Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its
disbursement as set forth herein. 
 DEFINITIONS: 
 As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth at the place defined: 

(a) “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in Oregon are authorized
or required by law to close. 
 (b) “Daily One Month LIBOR” means for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR
then in effect for delivery for a one (1) month period. 
 (c) “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a
Business Day and continuing for one (1) or three (3) months, as designated by Borrower, during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR; provided however, that
no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a principal amount less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00); and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the scheduled maturity date hereof. If any Fixed Rate Term would
end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. 

(d) “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to
the following formula: 
  

					
	LIBOR =	 	 Base LIBOR
	  	
		 	    100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage    	  	

 (i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Bank
(A) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to LIBOR, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of
interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to the
principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies, or (B) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate in effect from time to
time for delivery of funds for one (1) month in amounts approximately equal to the principal amount 

  

					
		 	1	 	

 
of such loans. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank
in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market. 
 (ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as
defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable term of this Note. 
 INTEREST: 
 (a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Bank to be one and three quarter percent (1.75%) above the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate in effect
from time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be one and three quarter percent (1.75%) above LIBOR in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. When interest is determined in relation to the
Daily One Month LIBOR Rate, each change in the interest rate shall become effective each Business Day that the Bank determines that the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate has changed. Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount and interest
rate applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the
information noted. 
 (b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest
determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate or
to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate, Borrower may at any time convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears
interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select an interest rate determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate or a Fixed
Rate Term for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount
subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection for a Fixed Rate Term, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to
each LIBOR selection for a Fixed Rate Term, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior
to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at its sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not
immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is
made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Daily One Month LIBOR Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term
applied. 

  
 2 

 (c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand,
in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority
and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by
any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to
the extent they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive
and binding upon Borrower. 
 (d) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the last day of
each month, commencing December 31, 2011. 
 (e) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or
such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at Bank’s option upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note. 

BORROWING AND REPAYMENT: 
 (a)
Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any
document executed in connection with or governing this Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount set forth above or such lesser amount as shall at any time be
available hereunder. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed
hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on May 1, 2015. 
 (b) Adjustments in Availability. Notwithstanding the principal amount set forth above, the maximum principal amount available under this Note shall be (i) at any time (other than during each
Reduction Period, as defined below) $35,000,000.00 and (ii) from and including January 1 through May 31 of each year (each such period, a “Reduction Period”) the aggregate amount of $22,500,000.00. If the outstanding
principal balance of this Note at any time is greater than the maximum principal amount then available hereunder, Borrower shall immediately make a principal reduction on this Note in an amount sufficient to reduce the then outstanding principal
balance hereof to an amount not greater than the then maximum principal amount available hereunder. Such principal reduction shall be subject to any applicable prepayment fee provided below. 

(c) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or
written request of (i) David P. Carlson, Joseph P. Schneider or Kirk Layton, any one acting alone, who are authorized to request advances and 

  
 3 

 
direct the disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to
advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those
authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by Borrower. 

(d) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the
outstanding principal balance hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate, if any, and second, to
the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first. 
 PREPAYMENT: 
 (a) Daily One Month LIBOR Rate. Borrower may prepay principal
on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate at any time, in any amount and without penalty. 
 (b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00); provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance thereof. In consideration of Bank
providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank
immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows for each such month: 

 

	 	(i)	Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained
outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto. 

  

	 	(ii)	Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining
term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid. 

 

	 	(iii)	If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above. 

Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult
to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs,

  
 4 

 
expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum two
percent (2.00%) above the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed). 
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT: 
 This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and
conditions of that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank of even date herewith, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation
under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note. 

MISCELLANEOUS: 
 (a)
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand,
notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate.
Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of the holder’s
in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in
any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection
with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Borrower or any other person or entity. 

(b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each
such Borrower shall be joint and several. 
 (c) Governing Law. This 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 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. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as of the date first written above.
