Compensation and Management Resources Committee

The Compensation and Management Resources Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) held four meetings in 2008. The committee has a charter, which is available on the corporate governance section of the Company’s corporate web site at http://www.footlocker-inc.com/IR_index.htm.

The Compensation Committee determines all compensation for the Company’s executive management group, which consists of the executive officers and corporate officers, and determines significant elements of the compensation of the chief executive officers of our operating divisions. Decisions regarding equity compensation for other employees are also the Compensation Committee’s responsibility. Decisions regarding non-equity compensation of the Company’s other associates are made by the Company’s management.

The Compensation Committee also administers Foot Locker’s various compensation plans, including the incentive plans, the equity-based compensation plans, and the employees stock purchase plan. Committee members are not eligible to participate in any of these plans. This committee also reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning executive development and succession, including for the position of Chief Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee normally holds two meetings each year to review and approve the executive compensation program, the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, annual salaries and bonuses for the executive management group and division CEOs, and to grant equity awards. In addition, at another meeting during the year, the committee reviews directors’ compensation and makes recommendations to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee concerning the form and amount of directors’ compensation. Additional meetings of the Compensation Committee may be called during the year as necessary.

The Compensation Committee has retained Mercer as its consultant on executive compensation matters and, with regard to executive and director compensation, Mercer reports directly to the Compensation Committee and provides the Committee with information on general executive compensation trends, trends in the retail industry, and reports on Foot Locker’s executive compensation program. Mercer also advises the committee on non-employee director compensation matters, including payment levels and trends. In preparing its material for the committee, Mercer consults with the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President—Human Resources, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, and Vice President—Human Resources. Separately, the Company retains Mercer for outsourcing services related to the administration of our U.S. and Canadian pension plans. The Senior Vice President-Human Resources, working with the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, prepares compensation recommendations to the committee, covering all elements of compensation for all corporate officers and heads of the Company’s operating divisions, other than the Chief Executive Officer himself, which are forwarded to the Chair of the Compensation Committee for his review. The Chair of the Compensation Committee also discusses these recommendations with the Chief Executive Officer. Based on input from the Chair of the Committee, the Senior Vice President-Human Resources then finalizes the compensation recommendations to review with the full committee.

Compensation Committee meeting agendas are developed by the committee chair in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and the Corporate Secretary. Committee members may suggest agenda items by communicating with one of these individuals. Agendas and related materials are circulated to Committee members prior to meetings. The committee chair regularly reports on the committee’s meetings to the full Board. The Company’s CEO, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Senior Vice President—Human Resources, Vice President—Human Resources, and Vice President and Associate General Counsel generally attend all meetings of the committee. Mercer also attends meetings at which the Committee reviews the executive compensation program and non-employee director compensation.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate authority and responsibilities as it considers appropriate. The committee has delegated to the Committee Chair the authority to approve stock option grants between meetings of the committee. This authority is limited to executives who are not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is further limited to individual option awards of 25,000 shares or less.
