WHEREAS, the Grantee is a natural person who is providing bona fide services to the Company on the date of this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Grantee the number of Restricted Shares provided for herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(b)                                 Incorporation of Plan. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Board shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations thereunder, and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantee and its representatives in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement.

 

Section 2.                                          Terms and Conditions of Award

 

The grant of Restricted Shares provided in Section 1(a) shall be subject to the following terms, conditions and restrictions:

 

(a)                                 Ownership of Shares. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Grantee shall possess all incidents of ownership of the Restricted Shares granted hereunder, including the right to receive dividends and distributions with respect to such Shares, as set forth in clause (b) below, and the right to vote such Shares.

 

(b)                                 Payment of Dividends/Distributions. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive dividends and distributions which become payable on the Restricted Shares at the time such

 

 

dividends or distributions are paid to other holders of Shares. Shares or other property (other than cash) distributed in connection with a dividend or distribution payable with respect to the Restricted Shares shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as such Restricted Shares.

 

(c)                                  Restrictions. Restricted Shares and any interest therein, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of prior to the lapse of restrictions set forth in this Agreement applicable thereto, as set forth in Section 2(e). The Board may in its discretion, cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of the periods Provided under Section 2(e).

 

(d)                                 Certificate; Restrictive Legend. The Grantee agrees that any certificate issued for Restricted Shares prior to the lapse of any outstanding restrictions relating thereto shall be inscribed with the following legend:

 

This certificate and the shares represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions, including forfeiture provisions and restrictions against transfer (the “Restrictions”), contained in the Starwood Waypoint Residential Trust Equity Plan and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and Starwood Waypoint Residential Trust. Any attempt to dispose of these Shares in contravention of the Restrictions, including by way of sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or otherwise, shall be null and void and without effect.

 

(e)                                  Lapse of Restrictions; Forfeiture. Except as may otherwise be provided herein, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2(c) shall lapse with respect to                        percent (   %) of the Restricted Shares granted hereunder on                        , 20     , provided that the Grantee continues to provide services to the Company through such vesting date. Performance based vesting provisions, if applicable.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any as yet unvested Restricted Shares granted hereunder (and any then unvested non-cash dividends and distributions thereon) shall become immediately vested and free of transfer restrictions upon a Change of Control.

 

Upon each lapse of restrictions relating to Restricted Shares, the Company shall issue to the Grantee a share certificate representing a number of Shares, free of the restrictive legend described in Section 2(d), equal to the number of Shares subject to this Restricted Share Award with respect to which such restrictions have lapsed. If certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall have theretofore been delivered to the Grantee, such certificates shall be returned to the Company, complete with any necessary signatures or instruments of transfer prior to the issuance by the Company of such unlegended Shares.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of the Grantee’s provision of services to the Company, any as yet unvested Restricted Shares and any as yet unvested non-cash dividends or distributions thereon shall be immediately forfeited. Such forfeited Restricted Shares and such forfeited non-cash dividends or distributions shall be transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company without payment of any consideration by the Company, and neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors or assigns shall

thereafter have any further rights or interests in such Shares, certificates, dividends and distributions. If certificates containing restrictive legends shall have theretofore been delivered to the Grantee, such certificates shall be returned to the Company, complete with any necessary signatures or instruments of transfer.

WHEREAS, the Grantee is a natural person who is providing bona fide services to the Company on the date of this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Grantee the number of Restricted Share Units provided for herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.                                          Grant of Restricted Share Unit Award

 

(a)                                 Grant of Restricted Share Units. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee Restricted Share Units on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan.

(a)                                 Restrictions. The Restricted Share Units, and any interest therein, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, prior to the lapse of restrictions set forth in this Agreement applicable thereto, as set forth in Section 2(d). The Board may in its discretion, cancel all or any portion of any outstanding restrictions prior to the expiration of the periods provided under

 

 

Section 2(d). The period from the date of grant of a Restricted Share Unit to the date it becomes vested and payable shall be referred to herein as the “Restricted Period.”

 

(b)                                 Form of Payment. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of payment, each Restricted Share Unit granted hereunder shall represent the right to receive one Share following the date on which such Restricted Share Unit vests, as provided herein.

 

(c)                                  Dividend/Distribution Equivalents. The Grantee shall be paid as of each date (a “Dividend Date”) on which cash dividends and cash distributions are paid with respect to Shares underlying as yet unpaid Restricted Share Units an amount equal to the amount paid to each Company shareholder with respect to the same number of Shares, provided that the record date with respect to such dividend or distribution occurs within the Restricted Period and provided that the Grantee continues to provide services to the Company through such Dividend Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of the Grantee’s provision of services to the Company, any as yet unvested Restricted Share Units and any accumulated but unpaid dividend equivalents or distribution equivalents thereon shall be immediately forfeited. Restricted Share Units and any accumulated but unpaid dividend equivalents or distribution equivalents forfeited pursuant to this Section 2(e) shall be transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company without payment of any consideration by the Company, and neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors or assigns shall thereafter have any further rights or interests in such units or equivalents.

(e)                                  Settlement of Restricted Share Units.
