THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by
and between Civitas Solutions, Inc., a corporation organized in the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Civitas Solutions, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as
amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and 
 WHEREAS, it has been determined
under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) provided herein to the Participant. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the
parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This
Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award
provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is
ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. 
 2. Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award. The
Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, the number of RSUs specified above. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides,
or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property,
distributions or other rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement. 







 3. Vesting. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, the RSUs subject to this Award shall become vested as follows, provided that
the Participant has not incurred a Termination prior to each such vesting date: 
  

			
	 Vesting Date
	  	 Number of RSUs

	  	[•]
	 [•]
	  	[•]
	 [•]
	  	[•]
	 [•]
	  	[•]

 There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each vesting date and all vesting shall occur only
on the appropriate vesting date, subject to the Participant’s continued service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on each applicable vesting date. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s Termination due
to the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall become immediately vested in an additional number of RSUs equal to the product of (i) the number of RSUs that would have vested on the first vesting date provided above that
follows the Participant’s date of Termination, had the Participant not incurred a Termination prior to such time and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since the most recent vesting date
provided above that precedes the Participant’s date of Termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days between such most recent vesting date and the first vesting date provided above that follows the Participant’s date
of Termination.]1 
 (b) Committee Discretion to Accelerate Vesting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting of the RSUs at any time and for any reason. 

(c) Change in Control. Following a Change in Control that occurs prior to the Participant’s Termination, any outstanding but
unvested RSUs shall become fully vested upon the Participant’s Termination by the Company or a Subsidiary, other than for Cause and other than due to the Participant’s death or Disability, and such Termination occurs within two
(2) years following such Change in Control. 
 (d) Forfeiture. Subject to the Committee’s discretion to accelerate vesting
hereunder, all unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s Termination for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s Termination by the Company or a Subsidiary, other than for
Cause and other than due to the Participant’s death or Disability, and a Change in Control has not occurred prior to the Participant’s Termination, the unvested RSUs shall remain outstanding until the six (6) month anniversary of the
Participant’s date of Termination and shall become fully vested upon a Change in Control that occurs prior to such time; provided, however, that in the event that a Change in Control has not occurred prior to such time, the RSUs shall be
immediately forfeited upon the six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s Termination.

 4. Delivery of Shares. 

(a) General. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4(b) and 4(c) hereof, within thirty (30) days following the vesting of the RSUs,
the Participant shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock2 that correspond to the number of RSUs that have become vested on the applicable vesting date; provided that the
Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Company the aggregate par value of the shares of Common Stock to be issued within ten (10) days following the issuance of such shares unless such shares have been issued by the Company from the
Company’s treasury. 
 (b) Blackout Periods. If the Participant is subject to any Company “blackout” policy or other
trading restriction imposed by the Company on the date such distribution would otherwise be made pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, such distribution shall be instead made on the earlier of (i) the date that the Participant is not subject to
any such policy or restriction and (ii) the later of (A) the end of the calendar year in which such distribution would otherwise have been made and (B) a date that is immediately prior to the expiration of two and one-half months
following the date such distribution would otherwise have been made hereunder. 
 (c) Deferrals. If permitted by the Company, the
Participant may elect, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any other applicable written plan or procedure adopted by the Company from time to time for purposes of such election, to defer the distribution of all or any portion of the
shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be distributed to the Participant hereunder (the “Deferred Shares”), consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Upon the vesting of RSUs that have been so deferred,
the applicable number of Deferred Shares shall be credited to a bookkeeping account established on the Participant’s behalf (the “Account”). Subject to Section 5 hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
number of Deferred Shares credited to the Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the other applicable written plans or procedures of the Company, consistent with
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 5. Dividends; Rights as Stockholder. Cash dividends on shares of Common
Stock issuable hereunder shall be credited to a dividend book entry account on behalf of the Participant with respect to each RSU granted to the Participant, provided that such cash dividends shall not be deemed to be reinvested in shares of
Common Stock and shall be held uninvested and without interest and paid in cash at the same time that the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs are delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof. Stock dividends on shares
of Common Stock shall be credited to a dividend book entry account on behalf of the Participant with respect to each RSU granted to the Participant, provided that such stock dividends shall be paid in shares of Common Stock at the same time

  

	2 	 This Agreement assumes that Restricted Stock Units will be paid in shares of Common Stock only (as opposed to cash or a combination of shares of
Common Stock and cash).

that the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs are delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Participant shall have no
rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by any RSU unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares. 

6. Non-Transferability. No portion of the RSUs may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by
the Participant, other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the RSUs as provided herein, unless and until payment is made in respect of vested RSUs in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Participant has become the holder of
record of the vested shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder. 
 7. Governing Law. All questions concerning the
construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. 

8. Withholding of Tax. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to
remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary
to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the RSUs and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock
otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement. [Any minimum statutorily required withholding obligation with regard to the Participant may be satisfied by reducing the amount of cash or shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to
the Participant hereunder.] 
 9. Legend. The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal,
state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates
representing shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the provisions of this Section 9. 

10. Securities Representations. This Agreement is being entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following express
representations and warranties of the Participant. The Participant hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants that:

has been advised that the Participant may be an “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and in this connection the Company is relying in part on the Participant’s representations set forth in this
Section 10. 
 (b) If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the shares of Common
Stock issuable hereunder must be held indefinitely unless an exemption from any applicable resale restrictions is available or the Company files an additional registration statement (or a “re-offer prospectus”) with regard to such shares
of Common Stock and the Company is under no obligation to register such shares of Common Stock (or to file a “re-offer prospectus”).

 (c) If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities

Company is then available to the public, and (C) other terms and conditions of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom are complied with, and (ii) any sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder may be made only in limited amounts in

terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without Cause. 
 14. Transfer of
Personal Data. The Participant authorizes, agrees and unambiguously consents to the transmission by the Company (or any Subsidiary) of any personal data information related to the RSUs awarded under this Agreement for legitimate business
purposes (including, without limitation, the administration of the Plan). This authorization and consent is freely given by the Participant. 

15. Compliance with Laws. The grant of RSUs and the issuance of shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to, and shall
comply with, any applicable requirements of any foreign and U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and in each case any respective rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder) and any other law, rule regulation or exchange requirement applicable thereto. The Company shall not be obligated to issue the RSUs or any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if any such issuance
would violate any such requirements. As a condition to the settlement of the RSUs, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or
regulation.
