 (b) Expenses. Each Non-Employee Director will be eligible for reimbursement from the
Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Non-Employee Director in connection with his or her attendance
at Board and Committee meetings. 

 To the extent that any taxable reimbursements are provided to a Non-Employee Director, they will be provided in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of
similar effect, including, but not limited to, the following provisions: (i) the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement during the Non-Employee Director’s taxable year may not affect
the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made no later than the last day of the Non-Employee Director’s taxable year
that immediately follows the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to any reimbursement may not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

2. EQUITY COMPENSATION. The options described in this Policy will be granted
under the Plan and will be subject to the terms and conditions of (i) this Policy, (ii) the Plan and (iii) the form of Option Agreement approved by the Board for the grant of options to
Non-Employee Directors under the Plan. 
 (a) Initial Grants. Each person who
first becomes a Non-Employee Director, whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy, automatically will be granted a Nonstatutory Stock Option to
purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock (an “Initial Option”) on the date of his or her initial election or appointment to be a Non-Employee Director. 

(b) Annual Grants. On the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (starting with the 2019 annual
meeting of stockholders), each person who is then a Non-Employee Director and will be continuing as a Non-Employee Director following the date of such annual meeting
(other than any Non-Employee Director receiving an Initial Option on the date of such annual meeting) automatically will be granted a Nonstatutory Stock Option to purchase 45,000 shares of Common Stock (an
“Annual Option”); provided, however, that if the Non-Employee Director has not served as a Non-Employee Director for 12 months prior to
the applicable annual meeting, the number of shares will be pro-rated for the number of full months served on the Board prior to the date of grant, rounded to the nearest whole share. For example, if a Non-Employee Director was appointed in September 2018, and the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders is held in June 2019, such Non-Employee Director would receive an Annual
Option at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders for 30,000, or 8/12 of 45,000, shares. 
 (c) Terms of Options. 

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Initial Option and Annual Option will be equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock subject to such option (as determined in accordance with the Plan) on the date such option is granted. 

(ii) Vesting. Each Initial Option and Annual Option will vest and become exercisable as follows: 

(A) Each Initial Option will vest and become exercisable in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the
date of grant of such option, provided that the Non-Employee Director has not had a Termination of Service prior to each such date; provided, however, that the vesting shall accelerate, and of the
Initial Option shall become fully vested and exercisable, upon the consummation of a Change in Control. 

  
 2 

 (B) Each Annual Option will vest and become exercisable on the earlier of
(i) the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Next Annual Meeting”), (ii) the first anniversary of the date of grant of such option, provided that the
Non-Employee Director has not had a Termination of Service prior to such date, or (iii) the consummation of a Change in Control.

    Effective April 26, 2019

    

    

    NOTE:  This document
        incorporates the accompanying Grant Letter, and together they constitute a single Agreement which governs the terms and conditions of your Award in accordance with the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.

    

    

    THIS AGREEMENT (Agreement) is effective as of the Grant Date specified in the accompanying Grant Letter, by and between the
        Participant and Hibbett Sports, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries (Company)).

    

    

    A. The Company maintains the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (EIP or Plan).

    

    

    B. The Participant has been selected by the committee administering the EIP (Committee) to receive a Restricted Stock Unit Award under the Plan.

    

    

    C. Key terms and important conditions of the Award are set forth in the cover letter (Grant Letter) which was delivered to the Participant at the same time as this document.  This
        Agreement contains general provisions relating to the Award.

    

    

    IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:

    

    

    1. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set
        forth in this paragraph 1:

    

    

    (a)  The Participant is the individual named in the Grant Letter.

    (b)  The Grant Date is the date of the Grant Letter.

    (c)  The Units means an award denominated in shares of the Company’s Common Stock as specified in the
        Grant Letter.

    (d)  The Restricted Periods shall begin on the Grant Date and end, as applicable, on the first
        anniversary (such Restricted Period, the “First Restricted Period”) or the second anniversary (such Restricted Period, the “Second Restricted Period”) of the date of the Grant Letter.

    

    

    Other terms used in this Agreement are defined pursuant to paragraph 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement.

    

    

    2. Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Participant is
        hereby granted the number of Units set forth in paragraph 1.

    

    

    3. Settlement of Awards. The Company shall deliver to the Participant one share of Stock
        (or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock) for each vested Unit, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Grant Letter and this Agreement.  One half of the Units payable to the Participant in accordance with the
        provisions of this paragraph 3 shall be paid solely in shares of Stock, solely in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock (determined as of the closing price on the last day of the First Restricted Period, or if not a business day, the
        first business day preceding the last day of the First Restricted Period), or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, except that cash shall be distributed in lieu of any fractional share of Stock.  The
        second half of the Units payable to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 3 shall be paid solely in shares of Stock, solely in cash based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock (determined as of the closing price on the
        last day of the Second Restricted Period, or if not a business day, the first business day preceding the last day of the Second Restricted Period), or in a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, except that
        cash shall be distributed in lieu of any fractional share of Stock.  For purposes of the foregoing and if Units vest under paragraph 5 other than at the end of a Restricted Period, the closing price will be determined with respect to the applicable
        vesting date.

    

    

    
      
        

    

    4. Time of Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, payment of Units
        vested in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 will be delivered as soon as practicable after the applicable vesting date (but in no event more than 45 days after the applicable vesting date).

    

    

    5. Vesting and Forfeiture of Units.

    

    

    (a)  Units shall vest, and the Participant shall be entitled to settlement on Units, when the applicable
        Restricted Period has ended. Except in the situations described below, if the Participant's Date of Termination occurs during either Restricted Period, then unvested Units shall be forfeited.

    

    

    (b)  Units shall vest prior
        to the end of either Restricted Period, and the Participant shall become entitled to settlement on Units, in the following situations:

    

    

    (i)  If the Participant's Date of Termination occurs by reason of the Participant's death or Disability,
        then the Units vest as of the Participant's Date of Termination.

    

    

    (ii)  If (x) a Change in Control occurs prior to the end of either Restricted Period, (y) the
        Participant's Date of Termination does not occur before the Change in Control date, and (z) the Committee determines to accelerate such vesting, then the Units vest as of the date of the Change in Control.

    

    

    (c)  The Participant shall forfeit all unvested Units as of the date on which the Committee determines the
        Participant materially violated (A) the provisions of paragraph 10 below or (B) any non-competition agreement which the Participant may have entered into with the Company.

    

    

    6. Withholding. All deliveries and distributions under this Agreement are subject to
        withholding of all applicable taxes. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant (or from other amounts due to Participant) or make other arrangements for the collection of all legally required amounts
        necessary to satisfy such withholding or (b) require the Participant promptly to remit such amounts to the Company.  Subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time, the withholding obligations
        described in this Section 6 may be satisfied through the surrender of shares of Stock which the Participant already owns, or to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan, including shares of Stock to be settled under this
        Agreement.

     

    

    7. Transferability. Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
        encumbered until the expiration of the Restricted Period or, if earlier, until the Participant is vested in the Units.   Transfers at death are governed by paragraph 9(c) below.

    

    

    
      
        

    

    8. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall
        have the following meanings:

    

    

    (a)  Change in Control. The term Change in Control shall mean (a) the sale, lease, exchange or other
        transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (in one transaction or in a series of related transactions) to a corporation that is not controlled by the Company, (b) the approval by the shareholders of the Company of any plan or
        proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, (c) a successful tender offer for the Common Stock of the Company, after which the tendering party holds more than 30% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, or (d) a
        merger, consolidation, share exchange, or other transaction to which the Company is a party pursuant to which the holders of all of the shares of the Company outstanding prior to such transaction do not hold, directly or indirectly, at least 70% of
        the outstanding shares of the surviving company after the transaction.

    

    

    (b)  Date of Termination. The Participant’s Date of Termination shall be the day immediately prior to the
        first day on which the Participant is not employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (a “Subsidiary”), regardless of the reason for the termination of employment; provided that a termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur
        by reason of a transfer of the Participant between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries; and further provided that the Participant’s employment shall not be considered terminated while the Participant is on a leave of absence
        legally required or approved by the Participant’s employer.

    

    

    (c)  Disability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, the Participant shall be considered to
        have a Disability during the period in which the Participant is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in any substantial gainful activity, which condition, in the opinion of a physician approved by
        the Committee, can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

    

    

    (d)  Plan Definitions. Except where the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary, a word, term,
        or phrase used in the Plan is similarly used in this Agreement.

     

    

    9. Binding Effect; Heirs and Successors.

    

    

    (a)  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be effective upon delivery to the Participant, with
        or without execution by the Participant.

    

    

    (b)  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and
        assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business.

    

    

    (c)  If any rights exercisable by the Participant or benefits deliverable to the Participant under this
        Agreement have not been exercised or delivered, respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be delivered to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance
        with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall
        require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant
        shall be exercised by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the Designated
        Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under this Agreement or before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement, then any rights that would have been exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary shall be
        exercised by the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.

    

    

    
      
        

    

    10. Disclosure of Information.  The Participant recognizes and acknowledges that the
        Company’s trade secrets, confidential information, and proprietary information, including customer and vendor lists and computer data and programs (collectively “Confidential Information”), are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company’s
        business, access to and knowledge of which are essential to the performance of the Participant’s duties.  The Participant will not, before or after his Date of Termination, in whole or in part, disclose such Confidential Information to any person
        or entity or make such Confidential Information public for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall the Participant make use of such Confidential Information for the Participant’s own purposes or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the
        Company under any circumstances before or after the Participant’s Date of Termination; provided that this prohibition shall not apply after the Participant’s Date of Termination to Confidential Information that has become publicly known through no
        action of the Participant.  The Participant shall consider and treat as the Company’s property all memoranda, books, records, papers, letters, computer data or programs, or customer lists, including any copies thereof in human- or machine-readable
        form, in any way relating to the Company’s business or affairs, financial or otherwise, whether created by the Participant or coming into his or her possession, and shall deliver the same to the Company on the Date of Termination or, on demand of
        the Company, at any earlier time.

    

    

    11. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration
        of this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with
        respect to the Agreement are final and binding on all persons.  Such powers or decision-making may be delegated, to the extent permitted by the Plan, to one or more of Committee members or any other person or persons selected by the Committee.

     

    

    12. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of
        this Agreement shall wholly incorporate and be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained from the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (or such other party as the Company may designate); and this Agreement is subject to
        all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan.

    

    

    13. No Implied Rights.

    

    

    (a)  The award of Units will not confer on the Participant any right with respect to continuance of
        employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate or modify the terms of such Participant’s employment or other service at
        any time.

    

    

    (b)  The Participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Units until shares of
        Stock have been duly issued following settlement of the Award as provided herein.

    

    

    
      
        

    

    14. Notices. Any written notices provided for in this Agreement or the Plan shall be in
        writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if either hand delivered or if sent by fax or overnight courier, or by postage paid first class mail. Notices sent by mail shall be deemed received three business days after mailing but in no event
        later than the date of actual receipt. Notices shall be directed, if to the Participant, at the Participant’s address indicated by the Company’s records, or if to the Company, at the Company’s principal executive office.

    

    

    15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by written agreement of the Participant and
        the Company, without the consent of any other person.

    

    

    16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Class Action Waiver.  This Agreement shall be governed by
        the laws of the State of Alabama without giving effect to the choice-of-law provisions thereof.  The Circuit Court of the City of Birmingham and the United States District Court, Northern District of Alabama, Birmingham Division shall be the
        exclusive courts of jurisdiction and venue for any litigation, special proceeding or other proceeding as between the parties that may be brought, or arise out of, in connection with, or by reason of this Agreement.  The parties hereby consent to
        the jurisdiction of such courts.  The Participant agrees to litigate any dispute only as an individual and agrees not to pursue or participate in any action as a class, collective, representative or group action, or that seeks to award relief to a
        group in a single proceeding.  Notwithstanding the waiver of Participant’s right to bring or participate in a class, collective or other representative proceeding, Participant may have a statutory right (for example, under the National Labor
        Relations Act) to act concertedly on behalf of themselves and others to challenge this Agreement in any forum, and if an employee acts concertedly to pursue any such proceeding, the Company will not retaliate against an employee for doing so.  The
        Company is entitled, however, to enforce this Agreement, including Employee’s agreement to forego pursuing any covered dispute on a class, collective or representative basis, and is entitled to seek dismissal of any such class, collective or
        representative action and otherwise assert this Agreement as a defense in any proceeding.
