 This Restricted Stock Award (“Restricted Stock Award”) is granted by ViewPoint Financial Group,
Inc. (“Corporation”) to [Name] (“Grantee”) in accordance with the terms of this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (“Agreement”) and subject to the provisions of the ViewPoint Financial Group, Inc. 2012
Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (“Plan”). The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. 
  

	1.	Restricted Stock Award. The Corporation makes this Restricted Stock Award of [Number] Shares to Grantee [in exchange for a
payment of $            ]. These Shares are subject to forfeiture and to limits on transferability until they vest, as provided in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement and
in Article VII of the Plan. 

  

	2.	Vesting Dates and Performance-Based Vesting Conditions: Subject to Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement, the Shares shall vest as follows:


 [Vesting Dates and Performance-Based Vesting Conditions:] 

[No Shares subject to performance goals will vest unless and until the above-referenced respective performance goals (each
a “Performance Goal”) have occurred, which occurrence has been certified by the Committee, as defined in Article IV of the Plan. A Performance Goal will not be deemed satisfied or achieved until the Committee, having sufficient information
on which to base its conclusion, determines that it has been satisfied or achieved. The applicable Vesting Date with respect to a Performance Goal will be the first business day that follows the date on which the Committee certifies satisfaction or
achievement of the Performance Goal and, provided that the Grantee’s Service has not terminated prior to such date, the Grantee will vest in the portion of the Shares corresponding to that Performance Goal on such date.] 

[To the extent that a Performance Goal has not been achieved, with such achievement certified by the Committee not later
than             , 20    , then any remaining unvested Shares corresponding to the Performance Goal will be forfeited.] 







 [The Committee, at its sole discretion, may make appropriate adjustments to the Performance
Goals as follows: (a) to exclude restructuring and/or other nonrecurring charges; (b) to exclude the effects of changes to generally accepted accounting principles; (c) to exclude the effects of any statutory adjustments to corporate
tax rates; (d) to exclude the effects of any “extraordinary items” as determined under generally accepted accounting principles; (e) to exclude the dilutive effects of acquisitions or joint ventures; (f) to exclude the
effect of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation by reason of any stock dividend or split, stock repurchase, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or
other similar corporate change, or any distributions to common shareholders other than regular cash dividends; and (g) to exclude the effect of any other unusual, non-recurring gain or loss or other extraordinary item.] 

 

	3.	Transferability. The Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any Shares that have not vested, except in the event of the
Grantee’s death, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may allow the Grantee to transfer all or any portion of this Restricted Stock
Award to the Grantee’s Family Members, as provided in the Plan. 

  

	4.	Termination of Service. If the Grantee terminates Service for any reason other than in connection with a Change in Control or the death or Disability of
the Grantee, any Shares that have not vested as of the date of that termination shall be forfeited to the Corporation. If the Grantee’s Service terminates on account of the Grantee’s death or Disability, the Vesting Date for all Shares
that have not vested or been forfeited shall be accelerated to the date of that termination of Service. 

  

	5.	Effect of Change in Control. [Upon a Change in Control, the Vesting Date for all Shares that have not vested or been forfeited shall be accelerated to the
date of the earliest event constituting a Change in Control.] 

  

	6.	Stock Power. The Grantee agrees to execute a stock power with respect to each stock certificate reflecting the Shares, or other evidence of book-entry
stock ownership, in favor of the Corporation. The Shares shall not be issued by the Corporation until the required stock powers are delivered to the Corporation. 


 

	7.	Delivery of Shares. The Corporation shall issue stock certificates or evidence of the issuance of such Shares in book-entry form, in the name of the
Grantee reflecting the Shares vesting on each Vesting Date in Section 2. The Corporation shall retain these certificates or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form until the Shares represented thereby become vested. Prior to
vesting, the Shares shall be subject to the following restriction, communicated in writing to the Corporation’s stock transfer agent: 

 These shares of common stock are subject to the terms of an Award Agreement between ViewPoint Financial Group, Inc. and [NAME] dated [GRANT DATE]
made pursuant to the terms of the ViewPoint Financial Group, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, copies of which are on file at the executive offices of ViewPoint Financial Group, Inc., and may not be sold, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise
transferred except in accordance with the terms of such Plan and Award Agreement.

	8.	Grantee’s Rights. [As the owner of all Shares that have not vested, the Grantee shall be paid dividends by the Corporation with respect to those
Shares at the same time as they are paid to other holders of the Corporation’s common stock. The Grantee may exercise all voting rights appurtenant to the Shares.] 


 

	9.	Delivery of Shares to Grantee. Upon the vesting of any Shares, the restrictions in Sections 3 and 4 shall terminate, and the Corporation shall deliver
only to the Grantee (or, if applicable, the Grantee’s Beneficiary, estate or Family Member) a certificate (without the legend referenced in Section 7) or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form, and the related stock power in
respect of the vesting Shares. The Corporation’s obligation to deliver a stock certificate for vested Shares, or evidence of the issuance of Shares in book-entry form, can be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation of investment intent
from the Grantee (or the Grantee’s Beneficiary, estate or Family Member) in such form as the Committee requires. The Corporation shall not be required to deliver stock certificates for vested Shares, or evidence of the issuance of Shares in
book-entry form, prior to: (a) the listing of those Shares on a National Exchange; or (b) the completion of any registration or qualification of those Shares required under applicable law. 


 

	10.	Adjustments in Shares. In the event of any recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination,
exchange of Shares or other securities, stock dividend, special or recurring dividend or distribution, liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall adjust the number of Shares
or class of securities of the Corporation covered by this Agreement. Any additional Shares or other securities received by the Grantee as a result of any such adjustment shall be subject to all restrictions and requirements applicable to Shares that
have not vested. The Grantee agrees to execute any documents required by the Committee in connection with an adjustment under this Section 10. 

  

	11.	Tax Election. The Grantee understands that an election may be made under Section 83(b) of the Code to accelerate the Grantee’s tax obligation
with respect to receipt of the Shares from the Vesting Dates to the Grant Date by submitting an election to the Internal Revenue Service substantially in the form attached hereto. 


 

	12.	Tax Withholding. The Corporation shall have the right to require the Grantee to pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax that the Corporation is
required to withhold with respect to such Shares, or in lieu thereof, to retain or sell without notice, a sufficient number of Shares to cover the minimum amount required to be withheld. The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from all
dividends paid with respect to the Shares the amount of any taxes that the Corporation is required to withhold with respect to such dividend payments. 

  

	13.	Plan and Committee Decisions are Controlling. This Agreement and the award of Shares to the Grantee are subject in all respects to the provisions of the
Plan, which are controlling. Capitalized terms herein not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee respecting the Plan, this Agreement or the
award of Shares shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantee, any Beneficiary of the Grantee or the legal representative thereof.

	14.	Grantee’s Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Grantee’s
service or employment as a director, advisory director, director emeritus, officer or employee, or otherwise impose upon the Corporation or any of its Affiliates any obligation to employ or accept the services or employment of the Grantee.


  

	15.	Amendment. The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Corporation or modify or amend the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that
the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any provision of this Agreement if such action may adversely affect the Grantee without the Grantee’s written consent. To the extent permitted by applicable laws and
regulations, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion but with the permission of the Grantee, to accelerate the vesting of the Shares or remove any other restrictions imposed on the Grantee with respect to the Shares, whenever
the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate. 

  

	16.	Grantee Acceptance. The Grantee shall signify acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and acknowledge receipt of a copy of the Plan by
signing in the space provided below and returning the signed copy to the Corporation.
