          This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) made
under the Foot Locker 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, Amended and Restated as of May
19, 2010 (the “Plan”) as of the ___ day of ___________ 20 ___ by and between
Foot Locker, Inc., a New York corporation with its principal office located at
112 West 34th Street, New York, New York 10120 (the “Company”) and
______________ .

          1.        General. As a participant in the Company’s long-term
incentive compensation program for the __________ Performance Period which
covers the fiscal years beginning _______ and _________ (the “Performance
Period”), you were granted a long-term incentive award that will be payable
following the end of the Performance Period, provided the performance goals set
by the Compensation and Management Resources Committee (the “Compensation
Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company on ____________ for the
Performance Period are achieved. The award is payable as follows: 50 percent of
the award is payable in cash under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan
(the “LTIP”), and 50 percent of the award is payable in restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) under the Plan as provided herein. The RSUs are intended to constitute
“Other Stock-Based Awards” under the Plan. Each RSU represents the right to
receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(“Common Stock”), upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement and the Plan.

                    This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions with
regard to the portion of your long-term award that is payable in RSUs. You have
been granted ___________ RSUs, subject to the conditions set forth herein.
Unless otherwise indicated, any capitalized term used but not defined herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.

          2.       Earning of RSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan and this Agreement, you shall be entitled to receive, for each RSU earned
in accordance with this Section 2 and Appendix A hereto, one share of Common
Stock. You shall earn the number of RSUs set forth above for achievement at the
maximum performance goal as specified in Appendix A attached hereto, subject to
adjustment for achievement below the maximum performance goal in accordance with
the provisions of Appendix A attached hereto. If the threshold performance level
set forth in Appendix A is not achieved, none of the RSUs granted to you shall
be earned. The Compensation Committee shall certify the level of achievement of
the performance goals during the Company’s first fiscal quarter in _________ and
at such time shall determine the number of RSUs you are eligible to receive,
subject to the provisions of Section 3 below.

          3.       Vesting and Delivery.
                    (a)          The RSUs you are eligible to receive as
described in Section 2 shall be

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

subject to a one-year holding period following the end of the Performance Period
and shall become vested on __________ (the “Vesting Date”). Subject to the terms
of this Agreement and the Plan, shares of Common Stock equal to the number of
RSUs you earn shall be delivered to you as described below if you have been
continuously employed by the Company or its subsidiaries within the meaning of
Section 424 of the Code (the “Control Group”) until such Vesting Date.

                    (b)          Other than as specifically provided herein,
there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to the
Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the Vesting Date, subject to
your continued employment with the Control Group as described in Section 3(a).

                    (c)          Upon a Change in Control as defined in Appendix
B hereto that occurs following the end of the Performance Period and the
certification by the Compensation Committee of the achievement of the
performance goal, all unvested RSUs shall become immediately vested and shall be
paid in accordance with Section 3(f).

                    (d)          Upon a Change in Control as defined in Appendix
B hereto that occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, or coincident
with or following the end of the Performance Period and prior to the
certification by the Compensation Committee of the achievement of the
performance goal, you shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the
RSUs that you would have been entitled to receive had the target performance
level set forth in Appendix A been achieved and such RSUs shall become
immediately vested and shall paid in accordance with Section 3(f). The pro rated
portion shall be determined by multiplying the number of RSUs you would have
been entitled to receive without respect to the Change in Control by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days from _____________, 20 ____ to date
of the earlier of the Change in Control or the last day of the Performance
Period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the
Performance Period without respect to the Change in Control.

                    (e)          In the event of your Termination by reason of
death, Disability (within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(C)(i) or (ii))
or Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, on the Vesting Date you (or in the
event of your death, your estate) shall receive a pro rata portion of the RSUs
that you would have received if you had been employed by the Company on the
Vesting Date, based on the actual level of achievement of the performance goals
set forth in Appendix A. The pro rated portion shall be determined by
multiplying the number of RSUs you would have been entitled to receive if you
had not incurred such Termination by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days from _____________, 20 ____ to date of your Termination and the
denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period, and
shall vest on the Vesting Date and shall be paid in accordance with Section
3(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control
following your death, Disability (within the meaning of Code Section
409A(a)(2)(C)(i) or (ii)) or Retirement, but prior to the certification by the
Compensation Committee of the achievement of the performance goal, the
provisions of Section 3(d) above shall supersede this Section 3(e).

                    (f)          Subject to Section 8, the Company shall issue
and deliver to you a stock

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

certificate registered in your name for shares of the Company’s Common Stock
equal to the number of vested RSUs you earn within 30 days following the earlier
of a Change in Control or the Vesting Date.

          4.       Forfeiture.

                    (a)          Any RSUs that are not earned in accordance with
Section 2 or vested in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement shall be
forfeited without compensation following the Compensation Committee’s
certification of the goals for the Performance Period.

                    (b)          Except as expressly set forth in Section 3(e),
in the event of your Termination prior to the Vesting Date or your breach of the
Non-Competition Provision in Section 10, all unvested RSUs shall be forfeited to
the Company, without compensation.

          5.       Adjustments. RSUs shall be subject to the adjustment
provisions included in Section 5(e) of the Plan.

          6.       Withholding. You agree that:

                    (a)          No later than the date on which any RSUs shall
have become vested, you will pay to the Company, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company regarding payment (including through the withholding
of shares from the award) of, any federal, state, international, or local taxes
of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any RSUs which shall
have become so vested; and

                    (b)          The Company shall, to the extent permitted by
law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to you
any federal, state, international or local taxes of any kind required by law to
be withheld with respect to any RSUs which shall have become so vested.

          7.        Special Incentive Compensation. You agree that the award of
the RSUs is special incentive compensation and that the RSUs will not be taken
into account as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount
of any payment under any pension, retirement or profit-sharing plan of the
Company or any life insurance, disability or other benefit plan of the Company,
except as specifically provided in any such plan.

          8.        Delivery Delay. Notwithstanding anything herein, the
delivery of any certificate representing shares of Common Stock for vested RSUs
may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it to
comply with any applicable federal or state securities law, or any national
securities exchange listing requirements and the Company is not obligated to
issue or deliver any securities if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by you or the Company
of any provisions of any law or of any regulations of any governmental authority
or any national securities exchange.

          9.        Restriction on Transfer of RSUs. You shall not sell,
negotiate, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, assign or otherwise dispose of the
RSUs. Any attempted sale, negotiation, transfer,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pledge, hypothecation, assignment or other disposition of the RSUs or unvested
shares in violation of the Plan or this Agreement shall be null and void.

          10.     Non-Competition.

                    (a)     Competition. By accepting this award of RSUs, as
provided below, you agree that during the “Non-Competition Period” you will not
engage in “Competition” with the Control Group. As used herein, “Competition”
means:

                              (i)          participating, directly or
indirectly, as an individual proprietor, stockholder, officer, employee,
director, joint venturer, investor, lender, or in any capacity whatsoever within
Canada, the United States of America or in any other country where any of your
former employing members of the Control Group does business, in (A) a business
in competition with the retail, catalog, or on-line sale of athletic footwear,
athletic apparel and sporting goods conducted by the Control Group (the
“Athletic Business”), or (B) a business that in the prior fiscal year supplied
product to the Control Group for the Athletic Business having a value of $20
million or more at cost to the Control Group; provided, however, that such
participation shall not include (X) the mere ownership of not more than 1
percent of the total outstanding stock of a publicly held company; (Y) the
performance of services for any enterprise to the extent such services are not
performed, directly or indirectly, for a business in competition with the
Athletic Business or for a business which supplies product to the Control Group
for the Athletic Business; or (Z) any activity engaged in with the prior written
approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; or

                              (ii)          intentionally recruiting, soliciting
or inducing, any employee or employees of the Control Group to terminate their
employment with, or otherwise cease their relationship with the former employing
members of the Control Group where such employee or employees do in fact so
terminate their employment.

                    (b)      “Non-Competition Period”. As used herein,
“Non-Competition Period” means: the period commencing _____________ , ___20 and
ending on the Vesting Date, or any part thereof, during which you are employed
by the Control Group and (ii) if your employment with the Control Group
terminates for any reason during such period, the [one year/two-year] period
commencing on the date your employment with the Control Group terminates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Non-Competition Period shall not extend
beyond the date your employment with the Control Group terminates if such
termination of employment occurs following a “Change in Control” as defined in
Attachment B hereto.

                    (c)      Breach of Non-Competition Provision. You agree that
your breach of the provisions included herein under Section 10 under the heading
“Non-Competition” (the “Non-Competition Provision”) would result in irreparable
injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate
remedy at law. You agree, therefore, that in the event of a breach or a
threatened breach of the Non-Competition Provision, the Company shall be
entitled to (i) an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such
breach, threatened breach, or continued breach, including by any and all persons
acting for or with you, without having to prove damages, and (ii) any other
remedies to which the Company may be entitled at

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

law or in equity. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from
pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach of the
Non-Competition Provision, including, but not limited to, recovery of damages.
In addition, in the event of your breach of the Non-Competition Provision, the
RSUs covered by this Agreement that are then unvested shall be immediately
forfeited. You and the Company further agree that the Non-Competition Provision
is reasonable and that the Company would not have granted the award of RSUs
provided for in this Agreement but for the inclusion of the Non-Competition
Provision herein. If any provision of the Non-Competition Provision is found by
any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for
too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too
broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum
period of time, range of activities, or geographic area as to which it may be
enforceable. The validity, construction, and performance of the Non-Competition
Provision shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard
to its conflicts of laws principles. For purposes of the Non-Competition
Provision, you and the Company consent to the jurisdiction of state and federal
courts in New York County, New York.

          11.     Not an Employment Agreement.

          The award of RSUs hereunder does not constitute an agreement by the
Company to continue to employ you during the entire, or any portion of the, term
of this Agreement, including but not limited to any period during which the RSUs
are outstanding.

          12.     [Securities Representations. This Agreement is being made by
the Company in reliance upon the following express representations and

                    If you are deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule
