2003 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

1.  Restricted Stock Units Award. Medtronic, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”),
hereby awards to the individual named above Restricted Stock Units, in the number and at the Grant Date set forth above. The
Restricted Stock Units represent the right to receive shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), subject
to the restrictions, limitations, and conditions contained in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”)
and in the Medtronic, Inc. 2003 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Unless otherwise defined in the Agreement,
a capitalized term in the Agreement will have the same meaning as in the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms of the Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will govern.

2.  Vesting and Distribution. The Restricted Stock Units will vest ___________________________. The
Company will issue to you a number of Shares equal to the number of your vested Restricted Stock Units (including any dividend
equivalents described in Section 5, below) ____________________, provided that you have been continuously employed by the Company
and all other conditions and restrictions are met during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the vesting date
(the “Restricted Period”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if you terminate employment during the Restricted
Period due to death, Disability or Retirement, and all other conditions and restrictions are met during the Restricted Period,
______________________________, and the Company will issue you a number of Shares equal to the number of your vested Restricted
Stock Units (including any dividend equivalents described in Section 5, below) _________________________. Upon termination
of your employment during the Restricted Period for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, the Restricted Stock
Units will automatically be forfeited in full and canceled by the Company as of 11:00 p.m. CT (midnight ET) on the date
of such termination of employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Disability” and “Retirement”
shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms under any retirement plan of the Company which is qualified under Section 401
of the Code (which currently provides for retirement on or after age 55, provided you have been employed by the Company and/or
one or more Affiliates for at least ten years, or retirement on or after age 62), or under any disability or retirement plan
of the Company or any Affiliate applicable to you due to employment by a non-U.S. Affiliate or employment in a non-U.S. location,
or as otherwise determined by the Committee.

3.  Forfeitures. If you have received or are entitled to receive delivery of Shares as a result of this
Restricted Stock Units award within the period beginning six months prior to termination of your employment with the Company
or any Affiliate and ending when the Restricted Stock Unit award terminates or is canceled, the Company, in its sole discretion,
may require you to return or forfeit the cash and/or Shares received or receivable with respect to this Restricted Stock Units
award, in the event that you engage in any of the following activities:

	 	a.	performing services for or on behalf of any competitor of, or competing with, the Company or any Affiliate,
within six months of the date of your termination of employment with the Company or any Affiliate;
	 	b.	unauthorized disclosure of material proprietary information of the Company or any Affiliate; 
	 	c.	a violation of applicable business ethics policies or business policies of the Company or any Affiliate; or
	 	d.	any other occurrence determined by the Committee.

 

The Company’s right to require forfeiture must be exercised not later than 90 days after the
Company acquires actual knowledge of such an activity, but in no event later than 12 months after your termination of employment
with the Company or any Affiliate. Such right shall be deemed to be exercised upon the Company’s mailing written notice
of such exercise to your most recent home address as shown on the personnel records of the Company. In addition to requiring
forfeiture as described herein, the Company may exercise its rights under this Section 3 by terminating this Restricted
Stock Units Award.

If you fail or refuse to forfeit the cash and/or shares of Common Stock demanded by the Company (adjusted
for any events described in Section 11(a) of the Plan), you shall be liable to the Company for damages equal to the number
of Shares demanded times the highest closing price per share of the Common Stock during the period between the date of termination
of your employment with the Company or any Affiliate and the date of any judgment or award to the Company, together with all
costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Company to enforce this provision.

4.  Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2 to the contrary, if a Change in Control
of the Company, within the meaning of both the Plan and Section 409A of the Code, occurs during the Restricted Period, and
all other conditions and restrictions are met during the Restricted Period, then the Restricted Stock Units will become 100%
vested upon such Change in Control and, the Company will issue to you a number of Shares equal to the number of your Restricted
Stock Units (including any dividend equivalents described in Section 5, below) within six weeks following the Change in Control.

5.  Dividend Equivalents. You are entitled to receive dividend equivalents on the Restricted Stock Units
generally in the same manner and at the same time as if each Restricted Stock Unit were a Share. These dividend equivalents
will be credited to you in the form of additional Restricted Stock Units. The additional Restricted Stock Units will be subject
to the terms of this Agreement.

6.  Withholding Taxes. You are responsible to promptly pay any Social Security and Medicare taxes (together,
“FICA”) due upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and any Federal, State, and local taxes due upon distribution
of the Shares. The Company and its subsidiaries are authorized to deduct from any payment to you any such taxes required to
be withheld. As described in Section 4(e) of the Plan, you may elect to have the Company withhold a portion of the Shares issued
upon conversion of the Restricted Stock Units to satisfy all or part of the withholding tax requirements. You may also elect,
at the time you vest in the Restricted Stock Units, to pay your FICA liability due with respect to those Restricted Stock Units
out of those units. If you choose to do so, the Company will reduce the number of your vested Restricted Stock Units accordingly.
The amount that is applied to pay FICA will be subject to Federal, State, and local taxes.

7.  Limitation of Rights. Except as set forth in the Agreement, until the Shares are issued to you in
settlement of your Restricted Stock Units, you do not have any right in, or with respect to, any Shares (including any voting
rights) by reason of the Agreement. Further, you may not transfer or assign your rights under the Agreement and you do not
have any rights in the Company’s assets that are superior to a general, unsecured creditor of the Company by reason of
the Agreement.

8.  No Employment Contract. Nothing contained in the Plan or Agreement creates any right to your continued
employment or otherwise affects your status as an employee at will. You hereby acknowledge that Medtronic and you each have
the right to terminate your employment at any time for any reason or for no reason at all.

9.  Amendments to Agreement Under Section 409A of the Code. You acknowledge that the Agreement and the
Plan, or portions thereof, may be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code; that it is anticipated that comprehensive
rules interpreting this Code section will be issued; and that changes may need to be made to the Agreement to avoid adverse
tax consequences to you under Section 409A. You agree that following the issuance of such rules, the Company may amend the
Agreement as it deems necessary or desirable to avoid such adverse tax consequences; provided, however, that the Company shall
accomplish such amendments in a manner that preserves your intended benefits under the Agreement to the greatest extent possible.

 

10.  Agreement. You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. Your
signature is not required in order to make this Agreement effective.
