	Grant Date:

	 	_______________
	 

	 	 
	Number of Restricted
	 	 
	Stock Units Granted:

	 	_______________

          THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of [_______________],
2011 (the “Grant Date”) is entered into by and between Quiksilver, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Corporation”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit
Program under the Quiksilver, Inc. amended and restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in the attached Appendix or elsewhere
herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant,
and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties
agree as follows:

     1. Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to
the Participant an aggregate of __________ stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”). As used
herein, the term “restricted stock unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is
deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of the Corporation’s
Common Stock solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement.

     2. Vesting and Delivery of Shares.

     [To be determined by the Corporation.]

     3. Termination of Agreement. In the event that, prior to _______, 20__, the
Restricted Stock Units have not become vested, this Agreement shall terminate and the Restricted
Stock Units shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Corporation for no consideration.

     4. Continuance of Service. Except as provided in Section 8, vesting of the Restricted
Stock Units requires continued Service of the Participant from the Grant Date through the
applicable Vesting Date as a condition to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the
rights and benefits under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Plan
constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Participant’s

 

 

status as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the
Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary), interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary)
at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation (or
any Parent or Subsidiary) to increase or decrease the Participant’s other compensation or benefits.
Nothing in this section, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual
right of the Participant without his or her consent thereto.

     5. Dividend and Voting Rights. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder
of the Corporation, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock
Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Restricted Stock
Units unless and until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the
Participant.

     6. Restrictions on Transfer. Neither the Restricted Stock Units, nor any interest
therein nor amount payable in respect thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered (collectively, a “Transfer”), either voluntarily or
involuntarily. The Transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (i)
transfers to the Corporation, or (ii) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
After any Restricted Stock Units have vested and shares of Common Stock have been issued with
respect thereto, the Participant shall be permitted to Transfer such shares of Common Stock,
subject to applicable securities law requirements, the Corporation’s insider trading policies, and
other applicable laws and regulations.

     7. Stock Certificates. Promptly after the Restricted Stock Units have vested, and all
other conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied or
lapse (including satisfaction of any applicable Withholding Taxes), the Corporation shall deliver
to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock
which are to be issued. The Participant (or the beneficiary or personal representative of the
Participant in the event of the Participant’s death or Permanent Disability, as the case may be)
shall deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances as the
Corporation may deem desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting
requirements.

     8. Effect of Termination of Service; Misconduct.

          (a) Termination of Service. Subject to earlier vesting as provided in Section 2
hereof, if the Participant ceases to provide Service to the Corporation (or a Parent or
Subsidiary), due to the Participant’s death, Permanent Disability, Retirement or termination of
Service by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, then the Participant shall retain a number of
Restricted Stock Units equal to the product of (i) the total number of Restricted Stock Units
granted
hereunder; and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months which
have passed since the Grant Date and the denominator of which is __. Such Restricted Stock Units
shall remain subject to the vesting and other provisions set forth in this Agreement. All
remaining Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

 

 

          (b) Misconduct/Voluntary Resignation. Subject to earlier vesting as provided in
Section 2 hereof, if the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Corporation for Misconduct or
the Participant voluntarily resigns from Service to the Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary) for
any reason other than Retirement, death or Permanent Disability, this Agreement shall terminate and
the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units shall be cancelled and forfeited to the Corporation for no
consideration: (i) immediately prior to the date the Participant first so engages in Misconduct; or
(ii) the date on which the Participant so voluntarily resigns from Service.

     9. Adjustments Upon Specified Events. If any change is made to the Common Stock by
reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, Corporate Transaction (not resulting in acceleration of vesting pursuant to Section 2(b))
or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class, appropriate adjustment shall be
made to the number and/or class of securities in effect under this Agreement. Such adjustments to
the outstanding Restricted Stock Units are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the
enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under this Agreement. The adjustments determined by
the Corporation shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     10. Taxes.

          (a) Tax Withholding. The Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary last employing the
Participant) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or
to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required with respect to
Withholding Taxes. Alternatively, the Participant or other person in whom the Restricted Stock
Units vest may irrevocably elect, in such manner and at such time or times prior to any applicable
tax date as may be permitted or required under rules established by the Corporation, to have the
Corporation withhold and reacquire shares of Common Stock at their Fair Market Value at the time of
vesting to satisfy all or part of the statutory minimum Withholding Taxes of the Corporation (or
any Parent or Subsidiary) with respect to such vesting. Any election to have shares so held back
and reacquired shall be subject to such rules and procedures, which may include prior approval of
the Corporation, as the Corporation may impose.

          (b) Tax Consequences to Participant. Participant acknowledges that the issuance and
the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units may have significant and adverse tax consequences for
Participant and that Participant has been advised by the Corporation to review the Questions and
Answers on Federal Income Tax Consequences portion of the Corporation’s Stock Plan Summary and
Prospectus and to consult Participant’s personal tax advisor regarding the consequences of the
issuance and vesting of the Restricted Stock Units to Participant.

     11. Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be in
writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary,
and to the Participant at the Participant’s last address reflected on the Corporation’s payroll
records. Any notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed
envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or
certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch office regularly maintained by the United
States Government. Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is

 

 

no
longer an Employee such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given five business days after the
date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.

     12. Plan. The Restricted Stock Units and all rights of the Participant under this
Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated
herein by reference. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement. The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Plan Summary
and Prospectus for the Plan, and this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other
sections of this Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board
or the Committee do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless
such rights are expressly set forth herein or otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the
Committee so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Committee under the Plan after the
date hereof.

     13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire
agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement supersede any conflicting provisions which may appear
in any employment agreement between the parties hereto. The Plan and this Agreement may be amended
pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the
Corporation. The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to
the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Participant hereunder, but no
such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a
waiver of any other provision hereof.

     14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

     15. Section Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.

     16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles
thereunder.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by
a duly authorized officer and the Participant has hereunto set his or her hand as of the date and
year first above written.

     1. The title of the series of the securities is the 5.50% Senior Notes due 2041 (the
“Notes”).

     2. The Notes are unsubordinated and will rank equally with all of the Company’s other
unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Subordinated debt will rank junior to the Notes and the
Company’s other senior debt.

     3. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be issued under the Indenture,
in connection with the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2011, between the Company

punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Holder in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of
business on the June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the
respective Interest Payment Date. The payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes shall
be payable to the Holders of the Notes on a Special Record Date established therefor
pursuant to the Indenture, or shall be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as
more fully provided in the Indenture.

made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the

 

 

Company as may be maintained for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. So long as the Notes remain in book-entry form, all payments of principal
and interest will be made by the Company in immediately available funds.

     6. The Company may redeem the Notes prior to maturity at its option, at any time in
whole or from time to time in part. Prior to December 15, 2040, the Redemption Price shall
be equal to the greater of:

     (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and

     (b) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present
values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) of principal and interest on
the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined
below) plus 20 basis points;

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes being
redeemed to the Redemption Date.

At any time on or after December 15, 2040, the Redemption Price shall be equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon
to the Redemption Date.

          “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, for any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to
the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a
price of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)
equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that Redemption Date;

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be
redeemed that would be used, at the time of a selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed;

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any Redemption Date, the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date;

          “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company;

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Morgan Stanley
& Co. LLC, UBS Securities LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and any of their successors; provided, however, if any of the
foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a
“Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury
Dealer;

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the

2

 

Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in
each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such
Reference Treasury Dealer by 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption
Date; and

          “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each Note to be redeemed, the
remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest on such Note that would be due
after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; provided, however, that if such
Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled
interest payment on such Note will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on such Note
to such Redemption Date.

     7. In the case of a partial redemption of the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the
selection for redemption of portions of the principal of the Notes. A partial redemption
shall not reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to a principal
amount of less than $2,000. Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first class mail at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the
Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Notes are to be redeemed in part
only, the notice of redemption will state the portion of the principal amount of the Notes
to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Note upon surrender for cancellation of
the original Note. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and
after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of the
Notes called for redemption.

     8. Section 703 of the Indenture is replaced with the following in its entirety for
purposes of the Notes only:

     The Company shall:

     (1) file with the Trustee, within 30 days after the Company has filed the same with the
Commission, unless such reports are available on the Commission’s EDGAR filing system (or
any successor thereto), copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and
other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from
time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the
Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such
Sections, then the Company shall file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance
with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the
supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant
to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a
national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and
regulations;

     (2) file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations
prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information,

3

 

documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and
covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and
regulations; and

     (3) transmit to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security
Register, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the
extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), such summaries of any information, documents and
reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Subsections (1) and (2) of this
Section 703 as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the
Commission.

     9. The Company has no obligation to redeem, purchase or repay the Notes pursuant to any
mandatory redemption or sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the Holder
thereof.

     10. The entire $400,000,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be payable upon
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to the Indenture.

     11. The defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions of Article Fourteen of the
Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

     12. The Trustee, the initial Paying Agent and the initial Security Registrar for the
Notes shall be U.S. Bank National Association. The Security Register for the Notes shall be
initially maintained at, and the place where such Notes may be surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall be, the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office located at 1349 West
Peachtree Street, Suite 1050, Atlanta, Georgia.

     13. The Notes will be issued in registered permanent global form and each evidenced by
a global security (a “Global Security”) in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit II, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have imprinted or
otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with
the provisions of the Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules
or regulations pursuant thereto, or with any rules of any securities exchange or to conform
to general usage, all as may be determined by the officers executing each such Global
Security, as evidenced by their execution of such Global Security. The beneficial owners of
interests in each of the Global Securities may exchange such interests for Notes, as
applicable, in certificated form (the “Definitive Notes”) only in limited circumstances as
provided in the Indenture. In the event that Definitive Notes are issued in exchange for a
Global Security, the form of certificate evidencing each Definitive Note shall be in
substantially the form of the attached Global Security, with such changes as are necessary
to evidence the Notes in definitive form rather than as a Global Security. The Company
initially appoints DTC to act as Depository with respect to the Notes.

     14. The Notes are issuable in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

     15. The Events of Default set forth in the Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

4

 

     16. The Company will not pay Additional Amounts on the Notes held by any Holder who is
not a United States person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld
or deducted.

     15. The Company may, at any time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes,
create and issue additional securities having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and
other terms as the Notes. Any such additional securities shall be consolidated and form the
same series of the Notes having the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise as the
Notes under the Indenture.

          Each of us further certifies that the form and terms of the Notes as established in this
certificate have been established pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture and comply with the
Indenture.
