independent public accountants, respecting the 2001 Financial Statements, which was given
on the authority of Andersen as experts in auditing and accounting. Andersen has not
consented to the inclusion of their report in this Registration Statement, and the Company
has dispensed with the requirement to file Andersen&#146;s consent in reliance on Rule
437a under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;).
Andersen&#146;s failure to deliver its consent may limit recovery by purchasers of
securities under this Registration Statement on certain claims. In particular, and without
limitation, Andersen&#146;s failure to deliver its consent limits the ability of a
purchaser of securities under this Registration Statement to sue Andersen under Section
11(a)(4) of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in
the 2001 Financial Statements or any omissions of a material fact required to be stated in

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant
to the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and the Company&#146;s Bylaws, directors and
officers of the Company are entitled to mandatory indemnification from the Company against
certain liabilities and expenses (i) to the extent such officers or directors are
successful in the defense of a proceeding and (ii) in proceedings in which the director or
officer is not successful in the defense thereof, unless it is determined that the
director or officer breached or failed to perform his duties to the Company and such
breach or failure constituted: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the Company or
its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer had a
material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director or
officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the
director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or (d) willful misconduct. The
Wisconsin Business Corporation Law specifically states that it is the policy of Wisconsin
to require or permit indemnification in connection with a proceeding involving securities
regulation, as described therein, to the extent required or permitted as described above.
Additionally, under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, directors of the Company are
not subject to personal liability to the Company, its shareholders or any person asserting
rights on behalf thereof for certain breaches or failures to perform any duty resulting
solely from their status, except in circumstances paralleling those in subparagraphs (a)
through (d) outlined above. </FONT></P>

may be entitled. The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the
circumstances in which an officer or director may be required to bear the economic burden
of the foregoing liabilities and expenses. </FONT></P>

undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining           any

report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act           (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual           report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
          reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
          registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;          Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may           be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
          pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
          advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
          public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
          unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
          liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
          paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
          successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
          director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
          registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter           has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate           jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public           policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of           such issue.  </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The purpose of the Johnson Outdoors
Inc. 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) is to promote
the long-term growth and financial success of Johnson Outdoors Inc. (the
&#147;Company&#148;) by attracting and retaining non-employee directors of outstanding
ability and assisting the Company in promoting a greater identity of interest between the
Company&#146;s non-employee directors and its shareholders. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As used in the Plan, the following
terms have the respective meanings set forth below: </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para (List) Flush Lv 0- TNR" FSL="Project" -->
     <P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B>(a)</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          <B>&#147;Award&#148;</B> means any Stock Option or Stock Award granted under the
          Plan. </FONT></P>

     <P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B>(b)</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          <B>&#147;Black-Scholes Model&#148;</B> means the Black-Scholes Option Pricing
          Model, which shall be used to calculate the fair value of Stock Option grants
          under the Plan, as of the date of such grant. Six factors are required to
          calculate the value of a Stock Option using the Black-Scholes Model: the Stock
          Option&#146;s exercise price; the current price of the Common Stock; the
          dividend yield of the Common Stock; the Stock Option&#146;s time to expiration;
          the risk-free market rate of return; and the future volatility of the Common
          Stock. Only the future volatility of the Common Stock cannot be objectively
          determined. In connection with using the Black-Scholes Model to calculate the
          fair value of Stock Option grants under the Plan, the Committee may use such
          variations of the Black-Scholes Model and parameters and procedures respecting
          the Black-Scholes Model, including, without limitation, parameters and
          procedures used to measure the historical volatility of the Common Stock as of
          the relevant grant date, as the Committee deems reasonably appropriate in its
          sole discretion. </FONT></P>

          <B>&#147;Committee&#148;</B> means a committee of the Board that the Board
          designates to administer the Plan. The Committee shall consist of not less than
          two directors, each of whom shall qualify as a &#147;non-employee director&#148;
          within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 (&#147;Rule 16b-3&#148;) under the 1934 Act, or
          any successor provisions thereto, as an &#147;outside director&#148; under
          Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
          &#147;Code&#148;), or any successor provisions thereto and as an
          &#147;independent&#148; director pursuant to the definition of independence in
          the listing requirements of the principal national securities exchange, national
          securities association or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is
          traded, if any. If at any time the Committee shall not be in existence, then the
          members of the Board that do qualify as non-employee directors, outside
          directors and independent directors shall administer the Plan and shall be
          deemed to be the Committee for purposes of the Plan. </FONT></P>

Report&#148;) its consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 28, 2001
(the &#147;2001 Financial Statements&#148;), in reliance on the report of Arthur Andersen
LLP (&#147;Andersen&#148;), independent public accountants, respecting the 2001 Financial
Statements, which was given on the authority of Andersen as experts in auditing and
accounting. Andersen has not consented to the incorporation by reference of their report
for the 2001 Financial Statements into the Company&#146;s previously filed registration
statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities

to various employee benefit programs of the Company (the &#147;Registration
Statements&#148;). We have not filed Andersen&#146;s consent with the Annual Report in
reliance on Rule 437a under the Securities Act. Andersen&#146;s failure to deliver its
consent may limit recovery by purchasers of securities under the Registration Statements
on certain claims. In particular, and without limitation, Andersen&#146;s failure to
deliver its consent limits the ability of a purchaser of securities under the Registration
Statements to sue Andersen under Section 11(a)(4) of the Securities Act for any untrue
statements of a material fact contained in the 2001 Financial Statements or any omissions
of a material fact required to be stated in the 2001 Financial Statements. </FONT></P>
