Total Units Subject to Restricted Stock Unit Award:

 

Date of Grant:

 

Vesting Commencement Date:

 

1.  Issuance of Restricted Stock Units.  Heelys, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), hereby agrees to issue to the Grantee named above, and the
Grantee hereby accepts, an award (the “Restricted Stock Unit Award”) of the
number of restricted stock units set forth above as the “Total Units Subject to
Restricted Stock Unit Award” (the “Units”), with one Unit entitling the Grantee
to one share of Common Stock (each a “Share”) in accordance with this Restricted
Stock Unit Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of the Heelys, Inc.
2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective May 20, 2010 and as
amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which are incorporated herein by
reference.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall
have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

 

2.  Forfeiture; Company’s Cancellation Right.  Except as specifically provided
otherwise in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, upon the date of any
termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service (the “Termination Date”) for any
reason before all of the Units are released from the Forfeiture Restrictions
described in Section 3 of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, all of the Units
in which the Grantee is not, as of the Termination Date, vested in accordance
with the provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and that are subject
to the Forfeiture Restrictions on that Termination Date (the “Unvested Units”)
shall automatically be forfeited by the Grantee on the Termination Date and the
Company shall cancel, without any additional consideration, such Unvested Units.

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

 

3.  Forfeiture Restrictions; Vesting.

 

(a)  The Grantee may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or
otherwise dispose of any of the Unvested Units, or any right or interest
therein, before the lapse of the Forfeiture Restrictions under this Restricted
Stock Unit Agreement.

 

(b)  The “Vesting Commencement Date” set forth on the first page of this
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement is the date on which the vesting period for the
Restricted Stock Unit Award begins.  The Units shall vest and shall be released
from the Forfeiture Restrictions in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto.

 

If an installment of the vesting and release of Units from the Forfeiture
Restrictions covers a fractional Unit, such installment will be rounded to the
next higher Unit, except the final installment, which will be for the balance of
the total Units.

 

(c)  The Forfeiture Restrictions under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may
lapse, and the Unvested Units may become vested and released from the Forfeiture
Restrictions, earlier than the times stated above in accordance with
Section 14(c) of the Plan, but only if the Change in Control constitutes a
“change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

 

(d)  Upon the lapse or expiration of the Forfeiture Restrictions regarding any
of the Units, the Company shall promptly (and, in no event, more than ninety
(90) days after the date of such lapse or expiration) issue and deliver or cause
the issuance and deliverance of, in the name of the Grantee or Grantee’s legal
representative, one or more stock certificates representing the corresponding
number of Shares equal to those Units, free of Forfeiture Restrictions. 
Alternatively, upon written request of the Grantee, the Company may direct that
the Shares be transferred to a broker designated by the Grantee.

 

4.  Representations of the Grantee.  The Grantee represents and warrants to the
Company that the Grantee has received, read, and understood the Plan and this
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their
terms and conditions.

 

5.  Stockholder Rights.  The Grantee shall not have the right to dividends with
respect to any of the Shares that may become issuable pursuant to the Restricted
Stock Unit Award upon vesting of the Units, to vote any such Shares, or to enjoy
any other stockholder rights with respect to any such Shares until the
Forfeiture Restrictions expire and those Shares are actually issued and
delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, as evidenced by an
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company.  No adjustment shall be made for dividends or
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date of
issuance and delivery of Shares, except as provided in the Plan.

 

6.  Refusal to Transfer.  The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on
its books any Units that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of
any of the provisions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or the Plan, or
(ii) to treat as owner of such Units, or accord the

 

2

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

 

right to vote or pay or deliver dividends or other distributions to, any
purchaser or other transferee to whom or which such Units shall have been
purported to be so transferred.

 

7.  Tax Withholding Obligations.  No Shares will be delivered to the Grantee or
any other person upon the lapse or expiration of the Forfeiture Restrictions
regarding any of the Units until the Grantee or such other person has made
arrangements acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of applicable
federal, state or local income tax, employment tax, and social security tax
withholding obligations, including obligations incident to the receipt of
Shares.  In connection with the lapse or expiration of the Forfeiture
Restrictions regarding any of the Units and the issuance and deliverance of the
corresponding number of Shares equal to those Units, the Company or other
Grantee’s employer may offset or withhold (from any amount owed by the Company
or the Grantee’s employer to the Grantee) or collect from the Grantee or such
other person an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations and/or the
employer’s withholding obligations.

 

8.  Capital Adjustments and Corporate Events.  If, from time to time during the
term of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, there is (i) any capital
adjustment with respect to the Shares which may become issuable with respect to
the Unvested Units, the Unvested Units shall be adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 14(a) of the Plan, or (ii) any Change in Control which
constitutes a “change in control” of the Company within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code, the Shares which may become issuable with respect to
the Unvested Units shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 14(b) and
14(c) of the Plan.  Any and all new, substituted or additional securities to
which the Grantee may be entitled by reason of the Grantee’s ownership of the
Unvested Units hereunder and such capital adjustment or such corporate event
shall be immediately subject to the forfeiture and cancellation provisions of
this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and included thereafter as “Unvested Units”
for purposes of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

 

9.  Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Award.  None of the Grantee’s
rights under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may be transferred or assigned
in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; the
Grantee’s rights under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement may be exercised
during the lifetime of the Grantee only by the Grantee.

 

10.  Tax Consequences.  The issuance and deliverance of Shares upon the lapse or
expiration of the Forfeiture Restrictions regarding any of the Units will have
tax consequences to the Grantee under the Code.  The Grantee has reviewed with
the Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences
that may arise under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. The Grantee is
relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of
the Company or any of its agents. The Grantee understands that the Grantee (and
not the Company) shall be responsible for the Grantee’s own tax liability that
may arise under this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. The Grantee understands
that the Shares to be issued and delivered upon the lapse or expiration of the
Forfeiture Restrictions regarding any of the Units shall be taxed under
Section 83 of the Code as ordinary income in an amount equal to the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date those Shares are actually issued and delivered.

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

 

11.  Successors and Assigns.  The Company may assign any of its rights under
this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. 
Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement shall be binding upon the Grantee and his heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, and permitted assigns.

 

12.  Entire Agreement; Governing Law.  The Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Company and the Grantee
(collectively the “Parties”) with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to
the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Parties. 
Nothing in the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (except as
expressly provided therein or herein) is intended to confer any rights or
remedies on any person other than the Parties.  The Plan and this Restricted
Stock Unit Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the
internal laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice-of-law
rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the internal laws of the State of Texas to the rights and duties of the Parties.

 

13.  Severability and Reformation.  The Company and the Grantee intend all
provisions of the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement to be enforced
to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Accordingly, should a court of
competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of the Plan or
this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement is too broad to be enforced as written, the
court should reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be
enforceable.  If, however, any provision of the Plan or this Restricted Stock
Unit Agreement is held to be wholly illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under
present or future law, such provision shall be fully severable and severed, and
the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision were never a
part thereof or hereof, and the remaining provisions of the Plan and this
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its
severance.

 

14.  Interpretive Matters.  Whenever required by the context, pronouns and any
variation thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or
neuter, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.  The term
“include” or “including” does not denote or imply any limitation.  The term
“business day” means any Monday through Friday other than such a day on which
banks are authorized to be closed in the State of Texas.  The captions and
headings used in this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement are inserted for
convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Restricted Stock Unit Award or
this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement for construction or interpretation.

 

15.  Dispute Resolution.  Unless provided otherwise in a then-effective written
employment agreement, the provisions of this Section 15 shall be the exclusive
means of resolving disputes of the Parties (including any other persons claiming
any rights or having any obligations through the Company or the Grantee) arising
out of or relating to the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.  The
Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or
relating to the Plan and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement by negotiation

 

4

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

 

between individuals who have authority to settle the controversy.  Negotiations
shall be commenced by either Party by a written statement of the Party’s
position and the name and title of the individual who will represent the Party. 
Within thirty (30) days of the written notification, the Parties shall meet at a
mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably
deem necessary, to resolve the dispute.  If either Party determines that the
dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation, such Party shall notify the other
Party and the Parties agree that any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of
or relating to the Plan or this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall be brought
in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (or
should such court lack jurisdiction to hear such action, suit or proceeding, in
a Texas state court in Dallas County, Texas) and that the Parties shall submit
to the jurisdiction of such court.  The Parties irrevocably waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection a Party may have to the laying of
venue for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court.  THE
PARTIES ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY HAVE OR MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  If any one or more provisions of this
Section 15 shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, it is the
specific intent of the Parties that such provisions shall be modified to the
minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable.

 

16.  Notice.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder
shall be given in writing and shall be deemed given, effective, and received
upon prepaid delivery in person or by courier or upon the earlier of delivery or
the third business day after deposit in the United States mail if sent by
certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other Party at
its address as shown beneath its signature in this Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement, or to such other address as such Party may designate in writing from
time to time by notice to the other Party in accordance with this Section 16.

 

17.  Further Instruments.  Each Party agrees to execute such further instruments
and to take such further action as may be necessary or reasonably appropriate to
carry out the purposes and intent of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.
