A.    Cottonwood Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) wishes to reward and incentivize the
Participant, who performs valuable services for the benefit of the Company and Cottonwood Communities O.P., L.P., a Delaware partnership (the “Partnership” and, together with the Company, “Cottonwood”). 

B.    Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (as amended and supplemented from time to time,
the “LP Agreement”) of the Partnership, the Company hereby grants the Participant this award (the “Award”) and hereby causes the Partnership to issue to the Participant, the number of LTIP Units (as defined in the LP Agreement)
set forth above (the “Award LTIP Units”) having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth herein and in the LP Agreement. Unless
otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to those terms in the LP Agreement. 

C.    The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of the Board (either
such entity shall be referred to herein as the “Committee”) has determined that the Participant is entitled to receive the Award LTIP Units. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Participant agree as follows: 

1.    Effectiveness of Award. The Participant shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial
ownership of the Award LTIP Units as of the Grant Date by (i) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement and (ii) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart
signature page to the LP Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). Upon execution of this Agreement by the Participant, the Partnership and the Company, the books and records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner shall reflect the
issuance to the Participant of the Award LTIP Units. Thereupon, the Participant shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to a number of LTIP Units equal to the Award LTIP Units, subject, however, to the
restrictions and conditions specified in Section 2 below and elsewhere herein. The LTIP Units are uncertificated securities of the Partnership and upon the Participant’s request the General Partner shall confirm the number of LTIP
Units issued to the Participant. 












 2.    Vesting of Award LTIP Units. The Award LTIP Units shall
become vested on the Vesting Date or Dates specified in the following schedule so long as the Participant remains an employee of the Employer on such Dates. If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the Award LTIP Units shall become vested
only with respect to the number of Award LTIP Units specified as vested on each such date. There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting of Award LTIP Units in or during the months, days or periods between each Vesting Date.

 In the event of termination of the Participant’s employment (a) by the Participant for Good Reason,
(b) by the Company without Cause or (c) by reason of the Participant’s death or disability, the Participant shall become fully vested in all of his or her Award LTIP Units. If the Participant’s employment with the Employer
terminates for any other reason, any Award LTIP Units held by the Participant that have not vested as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be terminated and neither the Participant nor any of his or her successors,
heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award LTIP Units. The Participant shall retain his or her right to any vested Award LTIP Units. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the Participant is party to an employment agreement with the Employer that
provides for the treatment of unvested equity awards in certain employment terminations, and subject to compliance by the Participant with the requirements of such employment agreement related to such termination, the vesting of any unvested Award
LTIP Units shall be subject to the terms of such employment agreement. 
 In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control, all
outstanding Award LTIP Units shall become fully vested.

Participation Date with respect to the Award LTIP Units is the Grant Date and distributions shall be paid to the Participant to the extent provided for in the LP Agreement. Distributions paid on an Award LTIP Units will equal the distribution paid
on the Common Units at the time the distribution is paid. For the avoidance of doubt, all distributions paid with respect to Award LTIP Units shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable. 

3.    Adjustments. The Award LTIP Units shall be subject to adjustment in the circumstances described in and in
accordance with the LP Agreement.

Committee may interpret this Agreement, with such interpretations to be conclusive and binding on all persons and otherwise accorded the maximum deference permitted by law. In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to interpretation of the
Agreement or of any rule, regulation or procedure, or as to any question, right or obligation arising from or related to this Agreement, the decision of the Committee shall be final and binding upon all persons.

Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 8 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Award
LTIP Units or Award Common Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any Award LTIP Units or Award Common Units. Except as otherwise

Company or, if appropriate, any of its Subsidiaries, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to
such amount. The Company may cause the required minimum tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from Award LTIP Units granted to the Participant with an aggregate value that would satisfy the withholding
amount due. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment
otherwise due to the Participant. 
 11.    Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may only be modified or
amended in a writing signed by the parties hereto, provided that the Participant acknowledges that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Committee, on behalf of the Company and the Partnership, in each case for the purpose of satisfying
changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement without the Participant’s written consent. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements,
undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by the parties which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The
failure of the Participant or the Company or the Partnership to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or to assert any right the Participant or the Company or the Partnership, respectively, may have under this
Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

any obligation upon the Company or any of its affiliates to continue to employ the Participant, and (iv) nothing stated or implied in this Agreement, in the LP Agreement shall be construed to abrogate, amend or otherwise affect any rights or
obligations with respect to employment which the Company or any of its affiliates or the Participant may otherwise have by agreement or under law.
