     You have been selected to receive a grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) pursuant
to the La Quinta Corporation 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as specified below:

	 	 	 
	

	 	Participant:  
                                                                                                       
	 
	 	 
	

	 	Date of Grant:                                                                                                     
	 
	 	 
	

	 	Number of RSUs Granted:                                                                                
	 
	 	 
	

	 	Vesting Date: Date of Grant
	 
	 	 
	

	 	Purchase Price: $.02 per RSU
	 
	 	 
	

	 	Final Acceptance Date:                                                                                     

     THIS AGREEMENT, effective as of the Date of Grant set forth above, represents the grant of
RSUs by La Quinta Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the Participant named
above, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such RSUs represent a promise to pay out to the
Participant (subject to Section 2) a number of shares of common stock of the Company, par value
$0.01 per share, and an equal number of shares of Class B common stock of La Quinta Properties,
Inc., par value $0.01 per share, which are paired and traded as one unit, as is indicated above
(“Paired Shares”).

     The Plan provides a complete description of the terms and conditions governing the RSUs. If
there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the
Plan’s terms shall completely supersede and replace the conflicting terms of this Agreement. All
capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan, unless specifically set
forth otherwise herein. The parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Acceptance of Award. The Participant shall have no rights with respect to this Award unless
he or she shall have accepted this Award prior to the close of business on the Final Acceptance
Date specified above by: (a) making payment to the Company by certified or bank check or other
instrument acceptable to the Committee of the Purchase Price per RSU, if any, times the number of
RSUs to be accepted, and (b) signing and delivering to the Company a copy of this Agreement.

     2. Timing of Payout. The RSUs will not be paid out (as described in Section 3) until the
earlier to occur of the following:

	 	(a)  	Retirement or other termination of service as a director; or
	 
	 	(b)  	The later to occur of:

	 	(i)  	Four (4) years from the Date of Grant; or

 

 

	 	(ii)  	The date (not to exceed ten (10) years from the Date of
Grant) elected by the Participant pursuant to a deferral election validly
executed by the Participant.

     3. Form of Payout. Subject to Section 2, vested RSUs will be paid out solely in the form of
Paired Shares of stock of the Company.

     4. Voting Rights and Dividends. Until such time as the RSUs are paid out in Paired Shares of
Company stock, the Participant shall not have voting rights. However, all dividends and other
distributions paid with respect to the RSUs shall accrue and shall be converted to additional RSUs
based on the closing price of the Paired Shares on the dividend distribution date. Such additional
RSUs shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as are the RSUs with respect to
which they were paid.

     5. Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event
of a Change of Control of the Company prior to the payout of Paired Shares pursuant to Section 2,
RSUs not yet paid out shall be immediately paid out to the Participant as described in Section 3.
The Paired Shares paid out to the Participant shall be freely transferable by the Participant (the
restrictions on transfer in Section 6 shall lapse), subject to restrictions on transfers imposed by
the Company’s and La Quinta Properties, Inc.’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and insider
trading policies as in effect from time to time, or by applicable federal and state securities
laws.

     6. Restrictions on Transfer. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the RSUs granted
pursuant to this Agreement (prior to being paid out) may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated (a “Transfer”), other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. Any attempt to transfer will not be honored.

     7. Recapitalization. In the event of any change in the capitalization of the Company such as a
stock split or a corporate transaction such as any merger, consolidation, separation, or otherwise,
the number and class of RSUs subject to this Agreement may be equitably adjusted by the Committee,
in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

     8. Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this
Agreement is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such
benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in
a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in
writing with the Director of Human Resources of the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In
the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be
paid to the Participant’s estate.

     9. Continuation of Service as Director. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Participant
any right to continue service with the Company, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with
the Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s service at any time.

2

 

     10. Miscellaneous.

	 	(a)  	This Agreement and the rights of the Participant hereunder are subject
to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time
to time, as well as to such rules and regulations as the Committee may adopt for
administration of the Plan. The Committee shall have the right to impose such
restrictions on any shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement, as it may deem
advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions on transfers imposed by the
Company’s and La Quinta Properties, Inc.’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws,
and insider trading policies as in effect from time to time, or under applicable
federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market
upon which such shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or
state securities laws applicable to such shares. It is expressly understood that
the Committee is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations
necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, all
of which shall be binding upon the Participant.
	 
	 	(b)  	The Committee may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan; provided,
however, that no such termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan may in
any material way adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement,
without the written consent of the Participant.
	 
	 	(c)  	The Participant agrees to take all steps necessary to comply with all
applicable provisions on transfers imposed by the Company’s and La Quinta
Properties, Inc.’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and insider trading
policies as in effect from time to time, or federal and state securities laws with
respect to his or her rights under this Agreement.
	 
	 	(d)  	This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.
	 
	 	(e)  	All obligations of the Company under the Plan and this Agreement, with
respect to the RSUs, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger,
consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company.
	 
	 	(f)  	To the extent not preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware.
	 
	 	(g)  	Notice hereunder shall be given to the Company at its principal place
of business, and shall be given to the Participant at the address set forth below,
or in either case at such addresses as one party may subsequently furnish to the
other party in writing.

trading policies as in effect from time to time, or by applicable federal and state securities
