	3	Provision applicable only to executives who participated in the SERP prior to February
2, 2014.






    	9



    	



    

provided, however, that to the extent
provided for under any applicable plan, the amount of any Severance Benefit may be included in the Executive’s earnings
for purposes of calculating the Executive’s benefit under the Foot Locker Retirement Plan, the Foot Locker Excess Cash Balance
Plan, and the Foot Locker 401(k) Plan.


 


(h) In the event of the Executive’s death after becoming
eligible for the Severance Benefit described in Section 8(f) and prior to payment of such amount, such Severance Benefit shall
be paid to the Executive’s Beneficiary.


 


(i) Notwithstanding anything else herein, to the extent the
Executive would be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code on the amounts in Section 8(f) and such other amounts
or benefits he received from the Company and its Affiliates required to be included in the calculation of parachute payments for
purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, the amounts provided under this Agreement shall be automatically reduced to an
amount one dollar less than that which, when combined with such other amounts and benefits required to be so included, would subject
the Executive to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code if, and only if, the reduced amount received by the Executive on
a net after-tax basis after taking into account federal, state and local income and social security taxes at the maximum marginal
rates would be greater than the unreduced amount to be received by the Executive on a net after-tax basis after taking into account
federal, state and local income and social security taxes at the maximum marginal rates minus the excise tax payable under Section
4999 of the Code on such amount and the other amounts and benefits received by the Executive and required to be included in the
calculation of a parachute payment for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.


 


 9. Non-Competition and Confidentiality.


 


 (a) (i) The Executive agrees that he shall not
engage in Competition during the Non-Competition Period, subject to the Company’s option to waive all or any portion of the
Non-Competition Period, as more specifically provided for in the following paragraph.


 


  (ii) As additional consideration for the covenant
not to compete during the Non-Competition Period described above, the Company shall pay the Executive, on a monthly basis, the
sum of 25 percent of the Executive’s monthly Salary, less the amount of the Executive’s “Monthly Severance Benefit,”
if any. This additional consideration shall be payable for the two (2) year period commencing on the Termination Date and shall
be payable on the first day of each month. For purposes of this provision, the “Monthly Severance Benefit” shall
be equal to the Severance Benefit divided by 12. The Company has the option, for any reason, to elect to waive all or any portion
of the two (2) year period of Non-Competition commencing on the Termination Date, by giving the Executive written notice of such
election not later than thirty (30) days following the Termination Date. In that event, the Company shall not be obligated to pay
the Executive under this paragraph for any months as to which the covenant not to compete has been waived. The Company may discontinue
payments being made pursuant to this paragraph at any time during the Non-Competition Period that (i) Executive is engaged in full-time




    	10



    	



    

employment that, in the Company’s opinion, does not violate
the provisions of Section 9(a)(i) hereof, or (ii) Executive violates the provisions of Section 9(a)(i) hereof.


 


(b) The Executive acknowledges that, during the course of
his employment with the Company, due to the nature of the position he occupies he will have access to confidential information
of the Company concerning its executives and employees, including, but not limited to, their background, experience, education,
training, capabilities, and potential. He agrees, therefore, that if his employment is terminated at any time prior to a Change
in Control (a) by the Company for any reason or (b) by the Executive for any reason, he shall not, for a two-year period beginning
on the Termination Date, intentionally recruit, solicit or induce 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.


 


(c) The Executive shall not at any time during the term of
this Agreement, or thereafter, communicate or disclose to any unauthorized person, or use for the Executive’s own account,
without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, nonpublic information of any kind concerning the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including, but not limited to, nonpublic information concerning finances, financial
plans, accounting methods, strategic plans, operations, personnel, organizational structure, methods of distribution, suppliers,
customers, client relationships, marketing strategies, real estate strategies or the like. In the event of the termination of Executive’s
employment, Executive shall, on or before the Termination Date, return all Confidential Information in his possession, in whatever
form, to the Company. It is understood, however, that the obligations set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to the extent
that the aforesaid matters (a) are disclosed in circumstances in which the Executive is legally required to do so or (b) become
generally known to and available for use by the public other than by the Executive’s wrongful act or omission.


 


(d) The Executive agrees that any breach by him of the terms
of Section 9 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at
law; the Executive therefore agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the provisions of Section
9, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach or threatened breach or
continued breach by the Executive, including any and all persons and entities acting for or with the Executive, without having
to prove damages, in addition to 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 hereof,
including but not limited to the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions
of the covenant not to compete are reasonable and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the inclusion
of such covenant herein. If any provision of the covenants set forth in Section 9 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




    	11



    	



    

interpreted to extend over the maximum period
of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.


 


 (e) The provisions of Section 9 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Control Group, whether
predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and
agreements of Section 9.


 


10. No Duty to Mitigate/Set-off. The Company agrees
that if the Executive’s employment with the Control Group is terminated during the term of this Agreement, the Executive
shall not be required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the amount of the Severance Benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by
any compensation earned by the Executive or benefit provided to the Executive as the result of employment by another employer or
otherwise. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company’s obligations to make the payments provided for in this Agreement
and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including without limitation, any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Executive. The Executive shall
retain any and all rights under all pension plans, welfare plans, equity plans and other plans, including other severance plans,
under which the Executive would otherwise be entitled to benefits.


 


11. Withholding. The Company shall have the right
to make such provisions as it deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any obligations it may have to withhold federal, state,
or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of payments pursuant to this Agreement. In lieu thereof, the Company shall have
the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from the Company or an Affiliate to the
Executive upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe.


 


12. Release. In consideration of the Executive’s
entitlement hereunder to a Severance Benefit which exceeds the severance benefit provided for under the Company’s standard
severance program and as a condition of receiving any Severance Benefit hereunder with regard to a Termination of Employment
occurring prior to a Change in Control, the Executive shall be required to provide the Company with a release of all claims of
the Executive (except with regard to claims for payment of benefits specifically payable or providable hereunder which have not
been paid as of the effective date of the release, claims for vested accrued benefits or claims under COBRA) of any kind whatsoever
against the Control Group, its past or present officers, directors and employees, known or unknown, as of the date of the release.
The release shall be in such form as may reasonably be specified by the Company.


 


13. Successors; Binding Agreement. In addition to
any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly
assume and agree in writing

that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder

and such officer as may be specifically designated by the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by
the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions

with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. All
references to sections of the Code or any other law shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections
