Colin Clark

Dear Colin:

We are pleased to offer you a full-time position as Senior Vice President, International, reporting
to Angel Martinez, President & CEO. Your scheduled start date will be September 1, 2005.

You will receive compensation as follows:

	 	•	 	Base Salary: $225,000 ($8,653.84 bi-weekly) Exempt position
	 
	 	•	 	Bonus information: For fiscal 2006, conditional upon acceptance by the Board of
Directors, you will be eligible to receive a potential bonus of 100% of your base salary,
subject to the achievement of targets for overall performance of the Company as well as the
achievement of Management Business Objectives set by the CEO. Details of the bonus program
for Fiscal 2006 will be provided to you upon approval of the 2006 business plan by the
Board of Directors.
	 
	 	•	 	Restricted Stock Units: For fiscal 2005, you will be eligible to receive a potential
grant of 5,000 Restricted Stock Units. These RSU’s will vest 25% per quarter beginning on
March 31, 2009 and the number of units vested will be dependent upon the Company reaching
the budgeted fiscal 2006 Earnings Per Share goal. You will be eligible to participate in
the Company’s RSU Program in the future at a level commensurate with other executives at
your level. The Company’s Board of Directors will determine each year the number of RSU’s
granted for those employees eligible to participate in this program.
	 
	 	•	 	Sign-on Bonus: You will be eligible to receive a sign-on bonus of $35,000 after all
applicable taxes have been withheld, payable to you within thirty days of your date of
hire.
	 
	 	•	 	Relocation benefits: The Company will pay for relocating your household goods and up to
two automobiles, which will include moving costs of your personal belongings. You will need
to submit three bids to the Company for the cost of such moving for the Company’s prior
written approval. The Company will provide you with a temporary housing allowance of
$6,000 payable to you after your date of hire. For house hunting purposes, the Company
will pay for the actual and reasonable expenses for airfare, meals, lodging, and car
rental, for the employee and immediate family members, at a location of the Company’s
choosing for a period of up to (4) days and (3) nights. For the purpose of relocating to
the Santa Barbara area, the Company will pay for one-way airfare for the employee and
family. Please note that if you were to leave the Company within your first twelve months
of employment, you will be required to reimburse the Company for all relocation expenses.
Should the Company terminate the employment relationship without cause, you will not be
required to reimburse the Company for relocation expenses.
	 
	 	•	 	Monthly Housing Allowance: The Company does understand that there is a difference in
the cost of housing from Massachusetts to the Santa Barbara area. The Company will provide
you with a housing allowance of $2,000 per month gross for a period of two years, assuming
continued employment by the Company. After this two-year period has expired, the Company
will continue to provide you with this housing allowance while you are renting, assuming
continued employment by the Company. This monthly housing allowance will cease to be
provided when you have purchased a home to live in.

 

 

	 	•	 	COBRA Reimbursement: The Company will reimburse you for your COBRA costs until you are
eligible to participate in the Company’s benefits plan.
	 
	 	•	 	Benefits: You will be eligible for medical, dental and life insurance effective the
first of the month, three months from your date of hire. The company pays approximately 80%
of the employee’s premium and a portion of the premium for spouse and/or family coverage
(this will be detailed in orientation). The employee’s and spouse/family portion is paid
through the Section 125 Flexible Spending Plan, which lowers the actual cost of the plan up
to 28-35% due to pre-tax deduction through payroll. Dental insurance is offered at little
cost to employees and Deckers provides a life insurance policy which gives all full-time
employees coverage of two times their annual salary. In addition, you will have the
opportunity to enroll in the 125 plan that allows employees to pay for insurance premiums,
any medical out-of-pocket costs and day care costs on a pre-taxed basis from your total
compensation.
	 
	 	 	 	You will also be eligible for Deckers’ 401(k) Retirement Plan. This plan will allow you to
voluntarily invest pre-tax dollars (Federal and State Taxes) towards a retirement plan. You
may join this plan the first of the month, three months from your date of hire. Deckers will
pay for administrative charges and quarterly reports for each and every eligible employee.
There is a Company contribution of 50% of the first 6% contributed by each employee on a
bi-weekly basis, up to $1,200 per year. This match is vested at 100%. 

As is the case with all employees of the Company, your employment with us will not be for any
specified term and is “at-will”. Accordingly, while we have every hope that our employment
relationship will be a mutually beneficial and rewarding one, you remain free to resign from your
position at any time, with or without cause, and the Company similarly may end its employment
relationship with you or modify the terms and conditions of employment at any time, with or without
cause. Any change in this aspect of our relationship must be set forth in writing and be signed by
the CEO of the Company.

Should the Company terminate your employment without cause or notice or should there be a change of
control and termination by the Company without cause, the Company will provide you with a
severance. Details of the severance can be found in Exhibit A attached to this offer letter.

You will be asked to sign our Proprietary Inventions Agreement, the Arbitration and Mediation
Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, as well as the Employee Handbook Acknowledgement receipt
found on the back page of the manual.

We are very excited about having you join our organization. I am sure you bring a wealth of
knowledge, skills and positive attitude with you. I look forward to personally having you on our
team here at Deckers Outdoor Corporation.

Please sign and date the bottom of this letter as acknowledgment of receipt and understanding and
fax it back to me at (805) 967-0961. If you have any questions or if I can help you in any way,
please feel free to contact me. I can be reached at (805) 967-7611, ext. 120 or via e-mail at

to the order of FIRST BANK, a Missouri state banking corporation (“Bank”), the principal sum of
Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00), or such lesser sum as may then be outstanding hereunder.
The aggregate principal amount which Bank shall be committed to have outstanding hereunder at any
one time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00), or (ii) the
“Borrowing Base” (as defined in the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined)), which amount may be
borrowed, paid, reborrowed and repaid, in whole or in part, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof and of the Loan Agreement hereinafter identified.

     Borrowers further jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of Bank interest on the

interest with respect to each principal disbursement made hereunder shall be payable on the dates
set forth in Section 3.6 of the Loan Agreement and at the maturity of this Note, whether by reason
of acceleration or otherwise. After the maturity of this Note, whether by reason of acceleration
or otherwise, interest shall accrue and be payable on demand on the entire outstanding principal
balance hereunder until paid at a rate per annum equal to Three and Three-Fourths Percent (3.75%)
over and above the Prime Rate, fluctuating as and when said Prime Rate shall change. All payments

interest, with the balance, if any, to be applied to the payment of principal. All prepayments
hereunder shall be applied solely to the payment of principal.

     All payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made in lawful currency of the
United States in Federal or other immediately available funds at the office of Bank situated at 135
North Meramec, Clayton, Missouri 63105, or at such other place as the holder hereof shall designate
in writing. Interest shall be computed on an actual day, 360-day year basis.

     Bank may record the date and amount of all loans and all payments of principal and interest
hereunder in the records it maintains with respect thereto. Bank’s books and records showing the
account between Bank and Borrowers shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding and
shall constitute prima facie proof of the items therein set forth.
