RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

	
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into and effective as of 
	
, 2019 (the “Date of Grant”), by and between Sleep Number Corporation (the “Company”) and  (the “Grantee”).

The Company has adopted the Sleep Number Corporation Amended and Restated 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) authorizing the grant of Restricted Stock Unit Awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Plan).

The Company desires to give the Grantee a proprietary interest in the Company and an added incentive to advance the interests of the Company by granting to the Grantee a Restricted Stock Unit Award pursuant to the Plan.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:

1.Grant of Award Units.

	
The Company hereby grants to the Grantee a Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) consisting of 
	
 (     ) units (the “Award Units”) that will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth below and in the Plan.  Reference in this Agreement to the Award Units will be deemed to include the Dividend Proceeds (as defined in Section 3.3 of this Agreement) with respect to such Award Units that are retained and held by the Company as provided in Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

2.Grant Restriction.

	
2.1
	
Restriction and Forfeiture.  The Grantee’s right to the Award Units and the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Award Units will vest in three (3) as equal as possible installments (rounding down to the nearest whole share if necessary) on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Date of Grant (the “Restriction Period”) subject to the Grantee remaining in continuous employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary through each of such vesting dates during the Restriction Period; provided, however, that such employment/service period restrictions (the “Restrictions”) will lapse and terminate prior to end of the Restriction Period as set forth in Section 2.2 below (or as otherwise set forth in the Plan for any circumstance not contemplated by the terms of Section 2.2).

2.2Death, Disability or other Termination of Employment or Service.

(a)Death.  In the event of the Grantee’s death during the Restriction Period and prior to the Grantee’s termination of employment or other service, the Restrictions applicable to the Award Units will immediately lapse and terminate and the shares of Common Stock to be issued in settlement of the Award Units will be issued as soon as reasonably possible.

(b)Disability.  In the event of the Grantee’s Disability (as defined by the Plan) during the Restriction Period and prior to the Grantee’s termination of employment or other service, the Restrictions applicable to the Award Units will immediately lapse and terminate and the shares of Common Stock to be issued in settlement of the Award Units will be issued as soon as reasonably possible.

(c)Termination Due to Retirement.

(i)In the event that the Grantee’s employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Grantee’s retirement at or beyond age fifty-five (55) and the Grantee has five (5) or more years of service with the Company prior to retirement, the Grantee will become vested in a pro rata portion of Award Units (the “Pro Rata Award Units”) based on the number of calendar days elapsed since the most recent anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Anniversary”) as of the date of retirement, divided by the number of calendar days in the Restriction Period.  The remaining unvested Award Units will immediately terminate and be forfeited without notice of any kind.

 For example, if the Grantee was granted 1,200 Award Units and retirement occurs 548 calendar days into the Restriction Period, assuming the Restriction Period contains 1,095 calendar days, the Grantee would have (i) 1,2000/3 = 400 Award Units vested pursuant to Section 2.1, plus (ii)  1,200 x (183/1095) = 201 Pro Rata Award Units.  The shares of Common Stock to be issued in settlement of the vested Award Units will be issued as soon as reasonably possible.

(ii)In the event that the Grantee’s employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Grantee’s retirement prior to age fifty-five (55) or the Grantee has fewer than five (5) years of service with the Company prior to retirement, all rights of the Grantee under the Plan and this Agreement relating to all Award Units with respect to which the Restrictions have not lapsed will terminate immediately without notice of any kind and will be forfeited.

(d)Termination for Reasons other than Death, Disability or Retirement.  In the event the Grantee’s employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability or retirement as provided above, or the Grantee is in the employ or service of a Subsidiary and the Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company (unless the Grantee continues in the employ or service of the Company or another Subsidiary), all rights of the Grantee under this Agreement relating to Award Units with respect to which the Restrictions have not lapsed will terminate immediately without notice of any kind, and will be forfeited.

3.Issuance of Shares.

	
3.1
	
Timing.  Vested Award Units shall be converted to shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis and such shares shall be issued as soon as reasonably possible after the end of 

2

 

		
the Restriction Period, subject to the provisions set forth above applicable to vesting events that occur prior to the end of the Restriction Period.

	
3.2
	
Limitations on Transfer.  Award Units will not be assignable or transferable by the Grantee, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and may not be subjected to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise.  Any attempt to transfer, assign or encumber the Award Units other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan will be null and void and will void the Award, and all Award Units for which the Restrictions have not lapsed will be forfeited and immediately returned to the Company.

	
3.3
	
Dividends and Other Distributions.  The Award Units are being granted with an equal number of dividend equivalents.  Accordingly, the Grantee is entitled to receive an additional Award Unit with a value equal to any dividends or distributions (including, without limitation, any cash dividends, stock dividends or dividends in kind, the proceeds of any stock split or the proceeds resulting from any changes or exchanges described in Section 6 of this Agreement, all of which are referred to herein collectively as the “Dividend Proceeds”) that are paid or payable with respect to one share of Common Stock for each Award Unit which will be subject to the same rights, restrictions and performance conditions under this Agreement as the Award Units to which such dividends or distributions relate.  The number of additional Award Units to be received as divided equivalents for each Award Unit shall be determined by dividing the cash dividend per share by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the dividend or distribution payment date.  All such additional Award Units received as dividend equivalents will be subject to the same restrictions and performance conditions as the Award Units to which such Dividend Proceeds relate.

4.Rights of Grantee.

	
4.1
	
Employment or Service.  Nothing in this Agreement will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of the Grantee at any time, nor confer upon the Grantee any right to continue in the employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary at any particular position or rate of pay or for any particular period of time.

	
4.2
	
Rights as a Shareholder.  The Grantee will have no rights as a shareholder until the Grantee becomes the holder of record of shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the Award Units.  As soon as reasonably possible after the satisfaction of any conditions to the effective issuance of shares of Common Stock in settlement of the Award Units, the shares will be issued by the Company.

5.Withholding Taxes.

The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Grantee (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Grantee from the Company), or to withhold from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be determined to be paid to the Company out of Dividend Proceeds, or make other arrangements for the collection of all amounts the Company reasonably determines are required to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to the receipt of the Award, the receipt of dividends or distributions on Award Units, or the lapse or termination of the Restrictions applicable to Award Units, or (b) require the Grantee promptly to remit the amount 

3

 

of such withholding to the Company.  In the event that the Company is unable to withhold such amounts, for whatever reason, the Grantee agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount the Company would otherwise be required to withhold under federal, state or local law.

6.Adjustments.

In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights offering or divestiture (including a spin-off) or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee (or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation), in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the Grantee, will make appropriate adjustment (which determination will be conclusive) as to the number and kind of securities or other property (including cash) subject to this Award.

7.Subject to Plan.

The Award and the Award Units granted pursuant to this Agreement have been granted under, and are subject to the terms of, the Plan.  The terms of the Plan are incorporated by reference in this Agreement in their entirety.  In addition, the Grantee, by execution hereof, acknowledges having received a copy of the Plan.  The provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted as to be consistent with the Plan and any ambiguities in this Agreement will be interpreted by reference to the Plan.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is not authorized by or is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail.

8.Miscellaneous.

	
8.1
	
Binding Effect.  This Agreement will be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of the parties to this Agreement.

	
8.2
	
Governing Law.  This Agreement and all rights and obligations under this Agreement will be construed in accordance with the Plan and governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions.  Any legal proceeding related to this Agreement will be brought in an appropriate Minnesota court and the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the court for this purpose.

	
8.3

This Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the grant and vesting of this Award and the administration of the Plan and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements, plans and understandings relating to the grant and vesting of this Award and the administration of the Plan.
