NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Grant of Units. Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, RAIT hereby grants to the Participant  Units (the Restricted Units). The Restricted
Units will become vested in accordance with Paragraph 3 below and will be redeemed in accordance with Paragraph 4 below.

2. Accounts.
RAIT shall establish and maintain a Restricted Unit account (the Restricted Unit Account) as a bookkeeping account on its records for the Participant and shall record in such Restricted Unit Account the number of Restricted Units granted
to the Participant. RAIT shall also establish and maintain a dividend equivalent account (the Dividend Equivalent Account) as a bookkeeping account on its records for the Participant and shall credit to such Dividend Equivalent Account
the value of dividend equivalents credited on the Participants Restricted Units pursuant to Paragraph 5 below. The Participant shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of RAIT by reason of this grant or the Restricted Unit
Account or Dividend Equivalent Account established for the Participant.

3. Vesting.

(a) The Participant will become vested in the Restricted Units awarded pursuant to this grant according to the following vesting schedule, provided the
Participant does not incur a termination of service or employment with the Company (as defined in the Plan) prior to the applicable vesting date (the Vesting Date):

|----------------------------------- |  | ------------------------------------- | -
|Vesting Date                        |  | Percentage ofRestricted Units Vesting |  
|First anniversary of Date of Grant  |  | 20                                    | %
|Second anniversary of Date of Grant |  | 20                                    | %
|Third anniversary of Date of Grant  |  | 20                                    | %
|Fourth anniversary of Date of Grant |  | 40                                    | %

The vesting of the Restricted Units is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Restricted
Units subject to this Agreement. If the foregoing vesting schedule would produce fractional Restricted Units, the number of Restricted Units that are vested shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Restricted Unit. The Participants
Restricted Units shall become fully vested if the Participant is providing service to, or employed by, the Company on the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant.

(b) If the Participants service or employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to the Participant vesting in any of the Restricted Units as provided in subparagraph (a), the Restricted Units that
are not vested as of the Participants termination of service or employment shall terminate and the Participant shall not have any redemption rights with respect to any of such unvested Restricted Units.

4. Redemption. On the earliest to occur of (i) the first anniversary of the applicable Vesting Date, (ii) the date of death of the Participant, or
(iii) the Participant becomes disabled (within the meaning of section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code)), (the Redemption Date), RAIT shall redeem:

(a) in the case of clause (i) above, all of the Restricted Units for which it is the first anniversary of the applicable Vesting Date; or

(b) in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii) above, all of the vested Restricted Units;

(the Redeemed Units) as provided in Paragraph 3, then credited to the Participants Restricted Unit Account as of such date. On the Redemption
Date, all Redeemed Units will be converted to an equivalent number of Common Shares, and the Participant shall receive a single sum distribution of such Common Shares, which shall be issued under the Plan.

5. Dividend Equivalents. Until such time as the vested Restricted Units are redeemed, if any dividends are declared with respect to the Common Shares, at the same
time that dividends are paid with respect to the Common Shares, a cash payment will be paid to the Participant by RAIT equal to the value of the dividends that would have been distributed if the vested Restricted Units credited to the
Participants Restricted Unit Account at the time of the record date of the relevant dividend were Common Shares. With respect to unvested Restricted Units, an amount equal to the value of the dividends that would have been distributed if the
unvested Restricted Units credited to the Participants Restricted Unit Account at the time of the record date of the relevant dividend were Common Shares shall be credited to the Participants Dividend Equivalent Account. Within thirty
(30) days following the Vesting Date of any unvested Restricted Units, a cash payment will be paid to the Participant by RAIT equal to the value of the aggregate amount credited to the Participants Dividend Equivalent Account for the
corresponding unvested



---

Restricted Units that vested as of the Vesting Date. No interest shall accrue with respect to any amounts credited to the Participants Dividend
Equivalent Account. If any unvested Restricted Units terminate for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, the aggregate amount credited to the Dividend Equivalent Account with respect to such unvested Restricted Units shall terminate and the
Participant shall not have any rights with respect to any such amounts. Each cash payment pursuant to this Paragraph 5 shall be deemed as a separate payment for purposes of section 409A of the Code.

6. Change of Control. The provisions set forth in the Plan applicable to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) shall apply to the Restricted Units, and, in
the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take such actions as it deems appropriate in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the requirements of section 409A of the Code.

7. Acknowledgment by Participant. By executing this Agreement, the Participant hereby acknowledges that with respect to any right to redemption or distribution pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant is and
shall be an unsecured general creditor of RAIT without any preference as against other unsecured general creditors of RAIT, and the Participant hereby covenants for himself or herself, and anyone at any time claiming through or under the Participant
not to claim any such preference, and hereby disclaims and waives any such preference which may at any time be at issue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Participant also hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of
the Plan and this Agreement. The Participant further agrees to be bound by the determinations and decisions of the Committee with respect to this Agreement and the Plan and the Participants rights to benefits under this Agreement and the Plan,
and agrees that all such determinations and decisions of the Committee shall be binding on the Participant, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under this Agreement and the Plan on behalf of the Participant.

8. Restrictions on Issuance or Transfer of Common Shares.

(a) The obligation of RAIT to deliver Common Shares upon the redemption of the Restricted Units shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing,
registration or qualification of the Common Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the
issuance of Common Shares, the Common Shares may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The
issuance of Common Shares and the payment of cash to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereof.

(b) The Participant agrees to be bound by RAITs policies regarding the transfer of the Common Shares and understands that there may be certain
times during the year in which the Participant will be prohibited from selling, transferring, pledging, donating, assigning, mortgaging, or encumbering Common Shares.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Redemption Date, a certificate representing the Common Shares that are redeemed shall be issued to the Participant.

the Participant may elect to satisfy any tax withholding obligation of the Company with respect to the Restricted Units by having Common Shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for foreign,
federal (including FICA), state, local and other tax liabilities.
