Exhibit A
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the "Notice") to which this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this "Agreement") is attached, Tumi Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), has granted to the Participant an Award of restricted stock units ("Restricted Stock Units" or "RSUs") under the Company's 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"). Each vested Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Common Stock of the Company ("Share"). Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and Notice.
ARTICLE I

GENERAL

1.1Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

ARTICLE II

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

2.1Grant of RSUs. In consideration of the Participant's service to the Company and other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an Award of RSUs under the Plan, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

2.2Unsecured Obligation to RSUs. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Participant will have no right to receive Common Stock under any such RSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

2.3Vesting Schedule. Subject to Sections 2.5, 2.9 and 3.1 hereof, the RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole Share, as applicable).

2.4Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Award of RSUs pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to provide service to the Company as a member of the Board of Directors. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue as a member of the Board of Directors or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, under applicable law, the Company’s charter or by-laws, or otherwise, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to remove Participant from the Board of Directors, in accordance with such provisions.

2.5Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Service. Subject to Section 2.9, upon the Participant ceasing to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, all Restricted Stock Units which have not vested prior to or in connection with such termination of service (after taking into consideration any accelerated vesting which may occur pursuant to Section 3.1, if applicable) shall thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the Participant, or the Participant's beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder.

2.6Issuance of Common Stock upon Vesting.

(a)The RSUs shall represent the right to receive, on the first business day following the Vesting Date, the number of Shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth on the Notice of Grant, and provided that the Participant remains a member of the Company’s Board of Directors through the Vesting Date, subject to the provisions of Section 2.9 or Section 3.1. Notwithstanding the above, earned Shares of Common Stock shall be treated as delivered on (i) the first business day following the Vesting Date, (ii) in the case of termination of service described in Section 2.9, the first business day following the date of such event (each such date, as the case may be, the "Delivery Date") provided that they are delivered on a date following the Delivery Date that is in the same calendar year as the Delivery Date. On the Delivery Date, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 4.2 hereof) a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares or by entering such Shares in book





entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Agreement that vest on the Vesting Date or such other date specified in Section 2.9 or Section 3.1, unless such RSUs terminate prior to the Vesting Date pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Plan, the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with such Section.

(b)As set forth in Section 11.1 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing Shares to the Participant or the Participant's legal representative or enter such Shares in book entry form unless and until the Participant or the Participant's legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the issuance of Shares.

2.7Conditions to Delivery of Shares. The Shares deliverable hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares deliverable hereunder prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 11.3 of the Plan.

2.8Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and any Shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 3.2 of the Plan.

2.9Vesting under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Participant ceases to be a member of the Company’s Board of Directors due to (A) removal without cause, (B) resignation upon request of a majority of the Board of Directors, other than for reasons the Board of Directors determines to be cause, or (C) the failure to be re-elected to the Board of Directors either because the Company fails to nominate the participant for re-election or the participants fails to receive sufficient stockholder votes, then, on the day the recipient ceases to so be a member of the Board of Directors, a pro rata portion of the RSUs shall vest, based on the portion of the vesting period that the participant served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

ARTICLE III
CHANGE IN CONTROL
3.1Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control the RSUs shall fully vest.

ARTICLE IV

(b)Neither the RSUs nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by Section 4.2(a).

4.7Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

4.8Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

4.9Conformity to Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are granted and settled, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

4.10Amendments, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board, provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the RSUs in any material way without the prior written consent of the Participant.

4.11Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.






4.13Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto, if any) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

4.14Section 409A. This Restricted Stock Unit Award is intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto and shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Grant Date. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or Agreement to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Agreement that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Code Section 409A and becomes payable by reason of the Participant’s termination of service with the Company will be made to the Participant until the Participant’s termination of service constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined in Code Section 409A). For purposes of this Award Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. If a participant is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A, such Participant shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of his or her employment or service until the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” or (ii) the date of such Participant’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable waiting period set forth in the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 4.14 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid to such Participant in a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days, following such expired period, and any remaining payments due under this Agreement will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. The Administrator may, in its discretion, adopt such amendments to the Plan, this Agreement or the Notice or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

(b)There is consummated a merger or consolidation, other than (i) a merger or consolidation immediately following which the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company, such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person other than the Initial Investor acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities;

(c)Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constituted the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding for this purpose any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

(d) The stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

A "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership





in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Award that constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred under the Plan with respect to any payment with respect to such Award only if a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company shall also be deemed to have occurred under Section 409A of the Code. Consistent with the terms of this Section 5.1, the Administrator shall have full and final authority to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control of the Company has occurred pursuant to the above definition, the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto.
5.2"Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
5.3"Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time.
5.4"Incumbent Board" shall have the meaning provided in Section 5.2(c) hereof.
5.5"Initial Investor" means any limited partnership or other collective investment vehicle arranged by Doughty Hanson & Co Limited, any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of Doughty Hanson & Co Limited and any nominee of, or nominee for any co-investment scheme for employees of subsidiaries of, Doughty Hanson & Co Limited, in each case, other than any portfolio operating company of any of the foregoing.

5.6"Person" shall have the meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof; however, a Person shall not include (a) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (d) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Shares.
