(iii)        In the event that Employee receives a lump sum payment under this Section 3(b) and does not comply with the requirement to remain in service with the Company during the Transition Period, Employee agrees to repay within thirty (30) days of termination the lump sum received during the Interim Periods;

(iv) If Employee is eligible for payment of the lump sum bonus pursuant to this Section, it shall be payable as soon as practicable after the end of the Transition Period or each six month period following the Effective Date, but in all events by March 15 of the year following the year in which the Transition Period  ends.

Employee waives and releases all moral rights in any of the works as Employee may possess by virtue of the Visual Artist's Moral Rights Act of 1990 and various country or state laws of attribution, authorship, and integrity commonly referred to as Moral Rights Law.

To the extent required by applicable state statute, this Section 5(c) shall not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Bank or its Affiliates was used and that was developed entirely on Employee's own time, unless the invention (i) relates to the business of the Bank or an Affiliate or to the Bank's or an Affiliate's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development or (ii) results from any work performed by Employee for the Bank or an Affiliate. 

(d)            Consent and Release.  From time to time, the Bank's locations may be the subject of a Promotional Work.

(iii)

	
The Bank or its Affiliates shall at all times own and have exclusive right, title, and interest in and to all Online Medium, and the Bank or its Affiliates shall retain the exclusive right to use, license, sell, transfer, and otherwise exploit and dispose of the same.

(i)

	
Employee has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with legal counsel, or has been given adequate opportunity to seek such counsel, and Employee acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 5 are reasonable with respect to their duration and scope.

	
(ii)

	
Employee acknowledges that (A) the restrictions contained in this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Bank, (B) such restrictions create no undue hardships, (C) any violation of these restrictions would seriously, adversely, and irreparably injure the Bank and such interests, and (D) such restrictions were a material inducement to the Bank to employ Employee and to enter into this Agreement.

	
(iii)

	
Employee must, and the Bank may, communicate the existence and terms of this Agreement to any third party with whom Employee may seek or obtain future employment or other similar arrangement.

	
(iv)

	
In the event of any violation or threatened violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 5, the Bank, in addition to and not in limitation of, any other rights, remedies, or damages available to the Bank under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, shall not be required to provide any amounts or benefits under this Agreement and shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such violation by Employee and all persons directly or indirectly acting for or with Employee, as the case may be, without any requirement that the Bank post bond.

	
(v)

	
If Employee violates the Restrictive Covenant and the Bank brings legal action for injunctive or other relief, the Bank shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining such relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of the Restrictive Covenant; accordingly, the Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed to have the duration specified herein computed from the date the relief is granted but reduced by the time between the period when the Restricted Period began to run and the date of the first violation of the Restrictive Covenant by Employee.

(h)            Other Agreements.  In the event of the existence of another agreement between the Parties that (i) is in effect during the Restricted Period, and (ii) contains restrictive covenants that conflict with any of the provisions of this Section 5, then the more restrictive of such provisions from the two agreements shall control for the period during which both agreements would otherwise be in effect.

The Company shall consult with Employee and make reasonable efforts to schedule such assistance so as not to materially disrupt Employee's business and personal affairs.  The Company shall reimburse all reasonable expenses permitted by applicable law, statute and regulation incurred by Employee in connection with such assistance, including travel, meals, rental car, and hotel expenses, if any; provided such expenses are approved in advance by the Company and are documented in a manner consistent with expense reporting policies of the Company as may be in effect from time to time.

8.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to principles of conflict of laws (whether in the State of New Mexico or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New Mexico.

9.Choice of Venue and Consent to Jurisdiction.  Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the First Judicial District Court for the State of New Mexico, if such courts have or can acquire jurisdiction, and if such jurisdiction does not exist and cannot be acquired, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico, for the purpose of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of or based on this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or any subject matter hereof, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise.

10.Service of Process.  Each Party may be served with process in any manner permitted under State of New Mexico law, or by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

11.Entire Agreement.

12.Withholding of Taxes.  The Bank may withhold from any benefits payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city and other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law, governmental regulation, or ruling.

13.No Assignment.  Employee's right to receive benefits under this Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, other than a transfer by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.  In the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 13, the Bank and its Affiliates shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee's personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees.

17.No Inconsistent Obligations. Employee represents and warrants that she is aware of no obligations legal or otherwise that are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or with her employment by the Bank. Employee will not disclose to the Bank, or use, or induce the Bank to use, any proprietary information or trade secrets of others. Employee represents and warrants that she has returned all proprietary and confidential information belonging to all prior employers.

18.Code Section 409A.  To the extent any provision of this Agreement or action by the Bank would subject Employee to liability for interest or additional taxes under Code Section 409A, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Bank.  It is intended that this Agreement will comply with Code Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be administered accordingly and interpreted and construed on a basis consistent with such intent.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no termination or similar payments or benefits shall be payable hereunder on account of a Termination unless such Termination constitutes a "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  For purposes of Code Section 409A, all installment payments of deferred compensation made hereunder, or pursuant to another plan or arrangement, shall be deemed to be separate payments.  To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefit payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A, such reimbursements and in-kind benefit payments shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).  This Agreement may be amended to the extent necessary (including retroactively) by the Bank to avoid the application of taxes or interest under Code Section 409A, while maintaining to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of this Agreement.  This Section 18 shall not be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect for Employee's benefits under this Agreement and the Bank does not guarantee that any such benefits will satisfy the provisions of Code Section 409A or any other provision of the Code.

(a)            Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee is determined to be a Specified Employee as of the date of termination, then, to the extent required pursuant to Code Section 409A, payments due under this Agreement that are deemed to be deferred compensation shall be subject to a six-month delay following the Termination Date; and all delayed payments shall be accumulated and paid in a lump-sum payment as of the first day of the seventh month following the date of termination (or, if earlier, as of Employee's death), with all such delayed payments being credited with interest (compounded monthly) for this period of delay equal to the prime rate in effect on the first day of such six-month period.

REDWOOD TRUST, INC. 

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT dated as of the     day of
                    , 20    (the “Award Agreement”), by and between Redwood Trust, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the “Company”), and             , an employee of the Company (the “Participant”). 

Pursuant to the Redwood Trust, Inc. 2014 Incentive Award Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the
Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has determined that the Participant is to be granted a Performance Stock Unit award for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) on the terms
and conditions set forth herein (the “Award”), and the Company hereby grants such Award. This Award is being made in connection with a deferral of compensation by the Participant pursuant to the Redwood Trust, Inc. Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) and the executed Deferral Election attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Deferral Election”). Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in
the Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan, as applicable. 
 1.        Number
of Performance Stock Units Awarded.    This Award Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of a Performance Stock Unit Award with a target award of
            shares of Common Stock, as adjusted to reflect cash dividends declared on the Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 (the “Target Shares”). The number of
units representing shares of Common Stock that shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to this Award (the “Award Shares”) shall be determined based upon the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals
set forth in Exhibit A hereto and may range from [zero] percent ([0]%) to [two hundred] percent ([200]%) of the Target Shares. 

2.        Effect of Dividends on Target
Shares.    On the last day of the Performance Period, the number of Target Shares set forth in Section 1 shall automatically be increased to reflect all cash dividends, if any, which have been declared and/or paid to
all or substantially all holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock during the Performance Period (as such term is defined in Exhibit A). On such date, the Target Shares shall be automatically increased by an aggregate number of
shares determined by multiplying (x) the target award amount set forth in Section 1 above by (y) the Dividend Reinvestment Factor (as such term is defined below). 

“Dividend Reinvestment Factor” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquired from
the reinvestment of cash dividends, if any, which have been declared and/or paid to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock during the Performance Period, with respect to one share of Common Stock outstanding on
the first day of the Performance Period. Such number of shares shall be determined cumulatively, for each cash dividend declared and/or paid during the Performance Period (beginning with the first cash dividend declared and/or paid during the
Performance Period and continuing chronologically with each subsequent cash dividend declared and/or paid during the Performance Period (and in each case other than the first such cash dividend, taking into account any increase in shares resulting
from the application of this formula to the chronologically immediately preceding cash dividend)), by multiplying (i) the applicable number of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the record date of such cash dividend (which in the case
of the first cash dividend paid during the Performance Period shall be one) by (ii) the per share amount of such cash dividend and dividing the product by the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the payment date of such dividend (or
if such payment date is subsequent to the end of the Performance Period, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the last day of the Performance Period). 

3.        Vesting and Payment of Award.    The Award
Shares shall vest and be credited effective as of the last day of the Performance Period, if at all, when the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, whether and to what extent the Performance Goals set forth in Exhibit A have been
attained. The crediting of the Award Shares is contingent on the attainment of the Performance Goals as set forth on Exhibit A. Upon such determination by the Committee and subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award
Agreement, the Participant shall be entitled to crediting of that portion of the Performance Stock Units as corresponds to the Performance Goals attained (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) as set forth on Exhibit A. 

No Award Shares shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account unless the Committee determines, in its sole
discretion, whether and to what extent the Performance Goals set forth in Exhibit A have been 

  
 -1- 

 
attained and the number of Award Shares earned pursuant to the Award have been determined. Any shares of Common Stock in respect of Award Shares credited to the Participant’s Deferral
Account shall be delivered to the Participant at the time or times provided in the Deferral Election and the Deferred Compensation Plan (or any re-deferral election made in accordance with Section 409A and the terms of the Deferred Compensation
Plan). [In connection with the delivery of Award Shares to the Participant, the Participant and the Company agree that delivery of such Award Shares shall be net of a number of such shares which shall be forfeited by the Participant in order to
satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation relating to such delivery to the Participant.] 

4.         Forfeiture of Performance Stock Units. 

(a)        Upon (i) the Participant’s Retirement (as defined below) or
(ii) the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee by the Company without Cause (as defined below), in either case, prior to expiration of the Performance Period, the Target Shares shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis to reflect
the number of days of employment completed during the Performance Period, and the Award shall continue to be eligible to vest and become payable based on such prorated number of Target Shares and the Performance Goals. 

(b)        Upon the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee due to
death or Disability prior to expiration of the Performance Period, the Target Shares shall not be reduced and the Award shall continue to be eligible to vest and become payable based on the number of Target Shares and the Performance Goals.

(c)        Upon the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee for any
reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or without Cause, prior to expiration of the Performance Period, any Award Shares not vested at the time of such termination shall become ineligible for crediting to the Participant’s Deferral
Account and shall be forfeited.
 (d)        Any Award Shares which have been
credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account prior to the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee shall not be forfeited in the event of such Termination of Service as an Employee but rather delivery of such shares shall
continue to be governed by the terms of the Deferral Election and the Deferred Compensation Plan (or any re-deferral election made in accordance with Section 409A and the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan). 

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) the Participant’s material failure to
substantially perform the reasonable and lawful duties of his or her position for the Company, which failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof by the Company to the Participant; (ii) acts or omissions constituting
gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Participant in respect of the performance of his or her duties hereunder, his or her fiduciary obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company; (iii) the
habitual or repeated neglect of his or her duties by the Participant; (iv) the Participant’s conviction of a felony; (v) theft or embezzlement, or attempted theft or embezzlement, of money or tangible or intangible assets or property
of the Company or its employees, customers, clients, or others having business relations with the Company; (vi) any act of moral turpitude by the Participant injurious to the interest, property, operations, business or reputation of the
Company; or (vii) unauthorized use or disclosure of trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information pertaining to Company business. 

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean a Termination of Service as an Employee due to
retirement (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) if such Termination of Service as an Employee occurs on or after both (i) the Participant’s 55th birthday and (ii) the completion by the Participant of 10 years of
employment with the Company (which employment need not be continuous). 

5.        Adjustments.    This Award and the
Performance Goals shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan. 

6.        At-Will Employment.    This Award
Agreement is not an employment contract and nothing in this Award Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation of the Participant to continue in the employ or service of the Company or on the part of the Company to
continue the employment or other service

relationship of the Participant with the Company. It is understood and agreed to by the Participant that the Award and participation in the Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan does not
alter the at-will nature of the Participant’s relationship with the Company (subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement the Participant may have with the Company). The at-will nature of the Participant’s relationship
with the Company can only be altered by a writing signed by both the Participant and the President of the Company.

7.        Notices.    Any notice required or
permitted under this Award Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United States Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Participant either at the Participant’s address set forth
below or such other address as the Participant may designate in writing to the Company, and to the Company: Attention: General Counsel, at the Company’s address or such other address as the Company may designate in writing to the
Participant. 
 8.        Failure to Enforce Not a
Waiver.    The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Award Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. 

9.        Existing Agreements.    This Award
Agreement does not supersede nor does it modify any existing agreements between the Participant and the Company. [Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a party to an employment agreement with the Company that includes provisions
relating to the treatment of equity awards upon death, disability, retirement or termination without cause, the terms of this Award Agreement shall supersede the terms of such employment agreement solely with respect to the treatment of the
Performance Stock Unit award granted hereby upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company due to death, disability, retirement or upon termination of employment by the Company without cause.] 

10.        Incorporation of Plan.    The Plan and
the Deferred Compensation Plan are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Award Agreement, and this Award Agreement is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan as in effect from time to
time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Award Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and this Award Agreement, the Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent,
and any provisions of this Agreement, the Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan that would cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements for an effective deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and
effect. 
 11.        Amendments.    This Award
Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deferral Election shall be irrevocable and the dates specified for distribution of vested Award Shares
may not be modified after the date hereof except as otherwise permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

 EXHIBIT A 

PERFORMANCE GOALS 

Performance Period: The performance period begins [insert grant date] and ends on [insert 3rd anniversary of grant date] (the “Performance Period”). 
 Performance
Goals: The number of Award Shares which will vest and be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account at the end of the Performance Period shall be determined based upon the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return
(“TSR”) for the performance period in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

					
	
TSR                       
         
		% of Target Shares Credited to Deferral Account	 
	 Less than [0]%
		 	[0	]% 
	 [25]%
		 	[100	]% 
	 [125]% or greater
		 	[200	]% 

 If the actual performance results fall between [0]% and [25]% TSR, or between [25]% and [125]% TSR, the actual
number of Award Shares which shall vest and be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account determined based on a straight-line, mathematical interpolation between the applicable vesting percentages. In no event shall the number of Award
Shares exceed [200]% of the Target Shares. In the event the TSR is equal to or less than [0]% at the end of the Performance Period, all Award Shares shall become ineligible for crediting to the Participant’s Deferral Account and shall be
forfeited. 
 Cumulative Total Shareholder Return: TSR shall mean, with respect to a share of Common Stock outstanding on the
first day of the Performance Period, the percentage by which: 
 (A) the sum of: 

(x) the Per Share Price as of the Valuation Date, plus 

(y) the Per Share Price as of the Valuation Date multiplied by the Dividend Reinvestment Factor, 

exceeds, 
 (B)
$            1. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in calculating TSR to reflect any dividends which may be
declared during the forty (40) consecutive trading days prior to the end of the Performance Period, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

 
  

	1 	 The average of the closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the forty (40) consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to
the first day of the Performance Period. 

 “Per Share Price” shall mean the average of the closing
prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the forty (40) consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the applicable Valuation Date; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Per Share Price in the event of a
Change in Control the Per Share Price shall be the price per share of Common Stock paid in connection with such Change in Control. 

“Valuation Date” means with respect to the Performance Period, [insert last day of Performance Period]; provided,
however, that in the event of a Change in Control that occurs prior to [insert last day of Performance Period], the Valuation Date shall mean the date of the Change in Control.
