      RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

      

      

      Pursuant to the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Grant (the “Grant Notice”)

        to which this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached and which Grant Notice is included in and part of this Agreement, and subject to the terms of
        this Agreement and the Century Communities, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), Century Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation
        (the “Company”), and the Participant named in the Grant Notice (the “Participant”) agree as follows.

       

      1.           Incorporation of Plan; Definitions. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this
              Agreement will be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Grant Notice will have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan. The provisions of this
              Agreement will be interpreted as to be consistent with the Plan and any ambiguities in this Agreement will be interpreted by reference to the Plan.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is not authorized by or is inconsistent
              with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. The Committee will have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations thereunder, and its decision will be binding
              and conclusive upon the Participant and his or her legal representatives in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. A copy of the Plan and the Plan Prospectus have been delivered to the Participant together with
              this Agreement.

       

      2.           Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  The Company hereby grants to the Participant that number of Restricted Stock Units as set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to
              adjustment as provided in the Plan, and each of which, once vested pursuant to this Agreement, will be settled in one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth below and in the Plan.  Reference in
              this Agreement to the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed to include the Dividend Equivalents with respect to such Restricted Stock Units as set forth in Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

       

      3.           Vesting and Conditions to Issuance of Common Stock; Forfeiture.

       

      3.1         Service-Based Vesting Condition.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3 or this Agreement or the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units will
              vest in the amount(s) and on the date(s) as indicated in the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (each, a “Scheduled Vesting Date”) and as set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan (collectively with the Scheduled Vesting
              Dates, each a “Vesting Date”); provided, however, that the Participant remains continuously employed by or provides services to the Company or any Subsidiary through the applicable Vesting Date.

       

      3.2        Change in Control. Except as otherwise provided in an Individual Agreement between the Company and the Participant, upon a Change in Control, the
              Restricted Stock Unit will be subject to Section 16 of the Plan.

       

      3.3         Effect of Termination of Employment or Other Service. Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.4 or Section 16 of the Plan or an Individual
              Agreement between the Company and the Participant, in the event the Participant’s employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, including for Cause or by reason of death or Disability of the
              Participant, all outstanding but unvested Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant as of the effective date of such termination will be terminated and forfeited.

       

      3.4         Effect of Actions Constituting Cause or Adverse Action; Forfeiture or Clawback. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to the forfeiture
              provisions set forth in Section 14.5 of the Plan, including those applicable if the Participant is determined by the Committee to have taken any action that would constitute Cause or an Adverse Action and any forfeiture or clawback
              requirement under Applicable Law or any policy adopted from time to time by the Company.

       

      
        3

        
          


      

      4.           Settlement; Issuance of Common Stock.

       

      4.1        Timing and Manner of Settlement.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 16 of the Plan, vested Restricted Stock Units will be converted to whole
              shares of Common Stock (no fractional shares will be issued so the number of shares of Common Stock will be rounded down to the nearest whole share) which the Company will issue and deliver to the Participant (either by delivering one or more
              certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form in the name of the Participant or depositing such shares for the Participant’s benefit with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship or the
              Company has engaged to provide such services under the Plan, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) within ninety (90) days following the earliest to occur of (i) the Scheduled Vesting Date, or (ii) the Participant’s “separation
              from service” as such term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (which includes termination of employment by reason of the Participant’s death), except to the extent that shares of Common Stock are withheld to pay tax
              withholding obligations pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement or the Participant has properly elected to defer income that may be attributable to such Restricted Stock Units under a Company deferred compensation plan or arrangement. If any
              shares of Common Stock shall be issuable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units as a result of the Participant’s “separation from service” at such time as the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
              Code, then no shares shall be issued, except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, prior to the earlier of (i) the date immediately after the end of the six-month period following the Participant’s “separation from service”, or (ii)
              the Participant’s death. Payments of amounts under this Agreement (by issuance of shares of Common Stock or otherwise) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and this Agreement shall in all respects be
              administered and construed to give effect to such intent. The Committee in its sole discretion may accelerate or delay the distribution of any payment under this Agreement to the extent allowed under Section 409A of the Code.

       

      4.2        Dividends Equivalents.  The Restricted Stock Units are being granted with an equal number of Dividend Equivalents. Such Dividend Equivalents
              entitle the Participant to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit while it is outstanding.  Dividend Equivalents will be converted into additional Restricted
              Stock Units and will be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they attach, including the right to future Dividend Equivalents on such additional Restricted Stock Units. The number of additional
              Restricted Stock Units to be received as Dividend Equivalents on the dividend payment date (the “Dividend Date”) of each regular cash dividend otherwise payable on a share of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Unit will be
              determined by (i) dividing the cash dividend per share by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Dividend Date and (ii) multiplying such per share amount by the total number of the then outstanding Restricted Stock Units,
              including deemed additional Restricted Stock Units for prior Dividend Equivalents. For purposes of calculating the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock in the preceding sentence, the Company shall use the closing price of a share of
              the Company’s Common Stock at the end of the regular trading session, as reported by The New York Stock Exchange on the Dividend Date. Dividend Equivalents as to the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to forfeiture and termination to the
              same extent as the corresponding Restricted Stock Units as to which the Dividend Equivalents relate.

       

      
        4

        
          


      

      5.            Rights of Participant.

       

      5.1       Employment or Other Service.  Nothing in this Agreement will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to
              terminate the employment or service of the Participant at any time, nor confer upon the Participant any right to continue employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

       

      5.2         Rights as a Stockholder.  The Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted
              Stock Units unless and until the Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. By way of example and without limitation, the Participant will not be entitled to
              vote any of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Units, or otherwise exercise any incidents of ownership with respect to such shares until such shares have been issued pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement; provided,
              however, that the Participant will be entitled to Dividend Equivalents pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

       

      5.3        Restrictions on Transfer.  Except pursuant to testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise expressly permitted by the
              Plan, no right or interest of the Participant in the Restricted Stock Units prior to the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be assignable or transferable, or subjected to any lien, during the lifetime of the
              Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise.  Any attempt to transfer, assign or encumber the Restricted Stock Units other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan will
              be null and void and the Restricted Stock Units for which the Restrictions have not lapsed will be forfeited and immediately returned to the Company.

       

      6.         Withholding Taxes. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the
              Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, foreign, state and local withholding and employment related tax
              requirements attributable to the Restricted Stock Units, including the grant, vesting or settlement of, or payment of Dividend Equivalents with respect to, the Restricted Stock Units, or (b) require the Participant promptly to remit the
              amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action, including issuing any shares of Common Stock, with respect to the Restricted Stock Units.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established
              by the Committee, permit or require the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding or employment related tax obligation in connection with the Restricted Stock Units by withholding shares of Common Stock issuable upon
              settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. When withholding shares of Common Stock for taxes is effected under this Agreement and the Plan, it will be withheld only up to an amount based on the maximum statutory tax rates in the Participant’s
              applicable tax jurisdiction or such other rate that will not trigger a negative accounting impact on the Company.

       

      7.            Miscellaneous.

       

      7.1         Governing Law; Mandatory Jurisdiction.  The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of this Agreement and any rules,
              regulations and actions relating to this Agreement will be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdictions.  The Company and the
              Participant hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Federal or State courts of the States of Colorado and Delaware relative to any and all disputes, issues and/or claims that may arise out of or relate to the Plan or
              this Agreement.  The Company and the Participant further agree that any and all such disputes, issues and/or claims arising out of or related to the Plan or this Agreement will be brought and decided in the Federal or State courts of the
              States of Colorado or Delaware, with such jurisdiction and venue selected by and at the sole discretion of the Company.

       

      
        5

        
          


      

      7.2        Interpretation.  Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement will be submitted by the Participant or by the Company forthwith to
              the Committee for review.  The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee will be final and binding on all parties.

       

      7.3         Successors and Assigns.  The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will
              inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement will be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
              assigns.

       

      7.4         Notices.  All notices, requests or other communications provided for in this Agreement must be made, if to the Company, to Century Communities,
              Inc., Attn:  Chief Financial Officer, 8390 E. Crescent Parkway, Suite 650, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, and if to the Participant, to the last known mailing address of the Participant contained in the records of the Company.  All
              notices, requests or other communications provided for in this Agreement must be made in writing either (a) by personal delivery, (b) by facsimile or electronic mail with confirmation of receipt, (c) by mailing in the United States mails or
              (d) by express courier service.  The notice, request or other communication will be deemed to be received upon personal delivery, upon confirmation of receipt of facsimile or electronic mail transmission or upon receipt by the party entitled
              thereto if by United States mail or express courier service; provided, however, that if a notice, request or other communication sent to the Company is not received during regular business hours, it will be deemed to be
              received on the next succeeding business day of the Company.

       

      7.5        Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to the Restricted Stock Unit by
              electronic means or request the Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive all applicable documentation by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an
              on-line system established and maintained by the Company or a third party vendor designated by the Company.

       

      7.6         Other Laws.  The Company will have the right to refuse to issue to you or transfer any shares of Common Stock subject to this Restricted Stock
              Unit if the Company acting in its absolute discretion determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares might violate any Applicable Law.

       

      7.7          Investment Representation.  The Participant hereby represents and covenants that (a) any share of Common Stock acquired upon the settlement of the
              Restricted Stock Unit will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless such acquisition has been registered
              under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws; (b) any subsequent sale of any such shares will be made either pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
              laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the Company, the Participant will submit a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Company, to the
              effect that such representation (x) is true and correct as of the date of issuance of any shares of Common Stock hereunder or (y) is true and correct as of the date of any sale of any such share, as applicable.  As a further condition
              precedent to the delivery to the Participant of any shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant will comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or supervision
              over the issuance or delivery of the shares and, in connection therewith, will execute any documents which the Company will in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable.

       

      
        6

        
          


      

      7.8         Non-Negotiable Terms. The terms of this Agreement and the Restricted Stock Units are not negotiable, but the Participant may refuse to accept the
              Restricted Stock Units by notifying the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or Vice President, Human Resources in writing within thirty (30) day after the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice.

       

      7.9          Acknowledgement by the Participant. In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant hereby acknowledges that:

       

      (a)          The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the
            Plan.

       

      (b)         The grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of
            Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past.

       

      (c)          All decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units award grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

       

      (d)          The Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

       

      (e)        The award of Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company, and which is outside the scope of the
            Participant’s employment contract, if any.

       

      (f)          The award of Restricted Stock Units is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination,
            redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any
            Subsidiary.

       

      (g)          The award of Restricted Stock Units or this Agreement will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Company or any Subsidiary.

       

      (h)          The future value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and if the Restricted Stock Units vest and the shares of Common
            Stock become issuable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the value of those shares of Common Stock may increase or decrease.

       

      (i)          In consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Restricted Stock Units or diminution in value of the
            Restricted Stock Units or shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of applicable labor laws)
            and the Participant hereby irrevocably releases the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by
            acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.

       

      
        7

        
          


      

      (j)           In the event of termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to receive the Restricted Stock Units and vest
            in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date of termination of his or her active employment as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and will not be extended by any notice of
            termination of employment or severance period provided to the Participant by contract or practice of the Company or any Subsidiary or mandated under local law and the Committee will have the sole discretion to determine the date of termination
            of the Participant’s active employment for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units.
