Dear Lee:

Welcome to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cole Haan, Inc. (the “Company”). We are delighted for you to join the Board on the terms and conditions set forth below.

As a member of the Board, you will be joining me and the other Board members as we work together to provide the needed guidance and oversight to the Company. In addition, you will be appointed Chair of the Board’s Audit Committee. The effective date of your appointment to the Board and as Chair of the Audit Committee will be no later than January 28, 2020, pursuant to the appropriate Board actions and resolution.

Our expectations for your participation on the Board are as follows:

•

To attend and contribute to each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and each regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee;

•

To serve as Chair of the Audit Committee; and

•

To be available on an ad hoc basis for any other Board and/or Audit Committee discussions, either telephonically or in person, upon reasonable notice.

In connection with your appointment, we are pleased to offer you the following compensation package:

•

An annual cash retainer in the amount of $75,000 for your service on the Board, generally payable quarterly, with the first quarterly payment to be made as soon as practicable following effectiveness of your appointment and covering the period from your appointment date through March 31, 2020.

2022: $125,000

We expect to grant the 2020 award upon or promptly following consummation of the Company’s initial public offering. Restricted stock unit awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s equity-based incentive plan and the applicable award agreement, including with respect to vesting, and will provide for one-year time vesting and acceleration upon a change in control (as defined in the Company’s equity-based incentive plan).
