TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

The Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) granted by Zumiez Inc. (the “Company”) to the Grantee specified in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) to which these Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Terms”) are attached, is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Notice, these Terms, and the general terms applicable to Awards granted to employees outside the U.S. set forth in the Appendix A hereto. The terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated by reference in their entirety into these Terms. Together, the Notice, these Terms and all Exhibits and Appendices to the Notice and these Terms constitute the “Agreement.” The Plan itself is available upon request. When used in this Agreement, the terms which are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan, as modified herein (if applicable). For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to the Company shall include a reference to any Affiliate.

1.	Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) As of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice, the Company grants to the Grantee the number of Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) set forth in the Notice. Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a future date after the Unit has become earned and vested, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) The Units covered by this Award shall become earned and vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice. Each earned and vested Unit shall be settled on the date(s) specified in the Notice by issuance of one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each earned and vested Unit on or as soon as administratively practicable (but no more than 75 days) after the applicable vesting date specified in the Notice, subject to the requirements of (i) Section 4 (Responsibility for Taxes, Section 6 (Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement) and Section 7(m) (Recovery of Compensation) of this Agreement.

(c) The Grantee shall not have any rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Units until such time that Units become earned and vested.

(d) The Grantee may designate a beneficiary to receive payment in connection with the Units in the event of the Grantee’s death in accordance with the Company’s beneficiary designation procedures, as in effect from time to time. If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the Grantee’s designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee, then the Grantee’s beneficiary will be the Grantee’s estate.

(e) Units shall not entitle the Grantee to receive any dividend equivalents with respect to any cash dividend that is otherwise paid with respect to shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Restrictions. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement, until such time as the Units become earned and vested and are settled in accordance with Section 1, the Units or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Units or the rights relating thereto shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Units will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.


1		RSU Award

Cancellation of Rights. If any portion of the Units fail to become earned and vested (for example, because the Grantee fails to satisfy the vesting conditions specified in the Notice prior to a Separation from Service), then such Units shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of such failure and all of the Grantee’s rights to such Units shall immediately terminate without any payment of consideration by the Company.

4.	Responsibility for Taxes.

(a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, payroll tax or other tax-related withholding with respect to the Award (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items owed by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant or vesting of the Units; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

(b) In the event the Company or the Employer determines that it must withhold any Tax-Related Items as a result of your Award, you agree as a condition of the grant of the Units to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to enable it to satisfy all withholding requirements by all legal means, including, but not limited to, withholding any applicable Tax-Related Items from the pay-out of the Units. In addition, you authorize the Company and/or the Employer to fulfill its withholding obligations by all legal means, including, but not limited to, withholding Tax-Related Items from your wages, salary or other cash compensation the Company or one of its subsidiaries pays to you. The Company may refuse to pay any earned Units if you fail to comply with any obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Grantee Representations. The Grantee hereby represents to the Company that the Grantee has read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, and the Grantee’s decision to participate in the Plan is completely voluntary. Further, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee is relying solely on his or her own advisors with respect to the tax consequences of this Award.

Regulatory Restrictions on the Shares Issued Upon Settlement. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Committee shall have the sole discretion to impose such conditions, restrictions and limitations on the settlement of vested Units with respect to this Award unless and until the Committee determines that such settlement complies with (i) any applicable registration requirements under the Securities Act or the Committee has determined that an exemption therefrom is available, (ii) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed, (iii) any applicable Company policy or administrative rules, and (iv) any other applicable provision of state, federal or foreign law, including foreign securities laws where applicable.

The arbitrator’s fees will be paid in equal portions by the Company and the Grantee, unless the Company agrees to pay all such fees.

The Grantee understands that the Company and the Grantee’s employer hold certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or any Affiliates, details of any entitlement to shares of stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The Grantee understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country or elsewhere (e.g., the United States), and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections from the Grantee’s country. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Grantee’s local human resources representative.

Therefore, the Grantee understands that refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to benefit from the Units.
