This Long-Term Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the Date of
Grant set forth above by and between Company, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”),
and the individual whose name is set forth above (“Participant”), whose address is in care of
Company, pursuant to the Company’s 2009 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the Long-Term
Incentive Program thereunder. The terms of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and
terms defined in the Plan have the same meanings in this Agreement unless otherwise defined herein
or the context otherwise requires. 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). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms
of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

1. Grant of Performance Share Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Date
of Grant specified above, the number of Performance Share Units specified above (the “Target
Award”) with respect to the Shares of the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, these Performance Share Units represent contingent commitments by the Company to issue and
deliver (hereafter referred to as “conversion”) to Participant, in recognition of the achievement
of specified performance criteria and Participant’s continued service to the Company and at no cost
to Participant, Shares at a future date, with the maximum amount of Shares subject to this award to
equal [3 times] the Target Award plus any Shares issuable under Section 3 hereof, all as subject to
adjustment as set forth in Section 3 of the Plan. This Agreement does not entitle Participant to
any payment of cash compensation.

The Participant shall not have the rights of a stockholder in respect of the Shares underlying this
Award until such Shares are delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 4.

 

 

 

2. Performance Conditions. The Performance Share Units are subject to the following performance
conditions:

(a) Performance Period. The Performance Period with respect to this award shall be the
[three] calendar year period January 1, 20XX
through December 31, 20XX.

(b) Relative Performance. The number of Shares which Participant will be entitled to
receive from the Company upon conversion pursuant to this Agreement following the completion of the
Performance Period is directly related to the actual level of performance achieved during such
period, defined as Threshold, Target, Stretch or Maximum.

(c) Performance Criteria. The Committee shall employ such criteria for evaluating the
performance of the Company over the Performance Period as the Committee shall in its discretion
deem appropriate (the “Performance Criteria”). These criteria, and the pre-established performance
goals with respect thereto, shall be communicated to Participant in a Performance Chart to
accompany and be made a part of this Agreement as Appendix A.

(d) Determination of Final Awards. As promptly as practicable upon the completion of the
Performance Period, the Committee shall assess and certify the relative achievement of the
Performance Criteria and determine the percentage (not to exceed [300%]), if any, of the Target
Award to be awarded to Participant (the full number of Shares resulting from the application of
such percentage being hereinafter called the “Final Award”), provided that the Committee shall bear
no liability for any delay in such assessment. The Committee shall have the discretion to increase
the Final Award, but not beyond the Maximum, and shall have no discretion to reduce the Final Award
if and to the extent the Performance Criteria are satisfied. As promptly as practicable upon the
determination of the Final Award, the Company shall notify Participant of the number of Shares to
be issued in connection with the Final Award, including Distribution Reinvestment Shares, as
defined below, provided that the Committee and the Company shall bear no liability for any delay in
such notification.

3. Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Company shall maintain a bookkeeping account for Participant
(the “Distribution Equivalent Account”) for the purpose of crediting additional Shares attributable
to the reinvestment of dividends on the Shares into which the Performance Share Units subject to
this Agreement may be converted, as if such dividends had been reinvested in such Shares on the
date of payment. On the date of payment of a cash dividend, stock dividend, and other
distributions made generally to the holders of Shares, provided the record date for such
distribution occurs on or after the first day of the Performance Period and before recordation or
delivery of the Shares under Section 4 or conversion to Deferred Shares under Section 5, the
Company shall provisionally credit to Participant’s Distribution Equivalent Account a number of
Shares (including fractions thereof) (the “Distribution Reinvestment Shares”) equal to (a)x(b)/(c),
where (a) equals the Target Award (expressed as the number of Shares to which such Award is
equivalent), (b) equals the dollar amount of such distribution per Share, and (c) equals the
closing price of Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on such date of payment (or, if the Exchange
is closed on such date, on the immediate prior trading date).

In connection with the determination of the Final Award, the Company shall recalculate the final
number of Distribution Reinvestment Shares, if any, deliverable to the Participant by assuming
that, in the foregoing equation, on each such payment date, (a) equals the Final Award (expressed
as the number of Shares to which such Award is equivalent).

The Shares credited to Participant’s Distribution Equivalent Account shall be subject to the same
forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and elective deferral opportunities as
apply to the Shares into which the Performance Share Units subject to this Agreement may be
converted.

4. Delivery of Shares. Subject to the terms of the Plan, and any elective deferral pursuant to
Section 5 of this Agreement, within 21/2 months following the year in which the Performance Period
ends and the Final Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the Company
shall distribute to Participant the number of Shares comprising the Final Award and the number of
Distribution Reinvestment Shares calculated as provided in Section 3. In connection with the
delivery of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, Participant agrees to execute any documents
reasonably requested by the Company.

5. Elective Deferral of Receipt of Shares. If permitted by the Company, Participant may elect, in
accordance with written plans or procedures adopted by the Company from time to time, to defer the
distribution of all or any portion of the Shares that would otherwise be distributed to Participant
hereunder pursuant to Section 4 (“Deferred Shares”). Any Deferred Shares shall be credited to a
bookkeeping account established on Participant’s behalf under Company’s written plans and/or
procedures then in effect with respect to such shares.

6. Non-Transferability. The Performance Share Units created by this Agreement are not transferable
by Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to transfer
contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void.

7. Termination of Employment.

(a) Forfeiture of All Rights. If Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for
any reason other than Disability, Involuntary Dismissal, Retirement or death prior to the
conclusion of the Performance Period, the Performance Share Units subject to this Agreement shall
immediately be cancelled and this Agreement shall become null and void and Participant (and
Participant’s estate, designated beneficiary or other legal representative) shall forfeit any
rights or interests in and with respect to the Performance Share Units, the Distribution
Reinvestment Shares, or the Shares or Deferred Shares referred to in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine, prior to the
effective date of any such termination, that all or a portion of any the Participant’s unvested
Performance Share Units (or Distribution Reinvestment Shares, Shares or Deferred Shares) shall not
be so cancelled and forfeited.

 

- 3 -

 

(b) Forfeiture of Pro-Rated Rights. If the Participant’s employment with the Company
terminates
prior to the conclusion of the Performance Period due to the Participant’s Disability, Involuntary
Dismissal, Retirement or death, Participant or Participant’s beneficiary, as the case may be, will
be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of the Final Award, contingent upon satisfaction of the
Performance Criteria, and any Distribution Reinvestment Shares credited in connection therewith,
issued to the Participant at the time specified in Section 4 of this Agreement; except that, in the
event such amount is conditioned upon a separation from service and not compensation the
Participant could receive without separating from service, then no such payment may be made to a
Participant who is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”) until the first day following the six-month anniversary of the
Participant’s separation from service. The pro-rata number of Shares to be delivered to
Participant as his or her Final Award will be calculated as (a) x (b)/(c), where (a) equals the
number of shares that would have comprised the Final Award had the last day of the final year of
Participant’s employment been the last day of the Performance Period, (b) equals the number of days
from January  , 20  to Participant’s last date of employment with the Company
prior to such Disability, Involuntary Dismissal, Retirement or death, and (c) equals [1,095].
Distribution Reinvestment Shares in connection with such Final Award shall be calculated as
provided in Section 3 through the last day of the final year of Participant’s employment. Except
with respect to such pro-rated portion of the Final Award and the Dividend Reinvestment Shares
associated therewith, the Participant shall have no other or further rights to Performance Share
Units, Dividend Reinvestment Shares, Shares or Deferred Shares under this Agreement. The pro-rated
Final Award as approved by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Participant and the
Company.

(c) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall have the same meaning
set forth in any employment agreement between the Company and Participant; in the absence of such
an agreement, “Disability” means disability as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the
Code.

For purposes of this Agreement, “employment with the Company” shall mean and include any employment
by a Subsidiary of the Company and may in the Committee’s sole discretion also include any
employment by an Affiliate of the Company that is not a Subsidiary of the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Involuntary Dismissal” shall mean the termination of Participant’s
employment with the Company through and directly attributable to an action taken by the Board, the
Committee, or the Company, other than dismissal for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause”
shall have the same meaning set forth in any employment agreement between the Company (or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate) and Participant; in the absence of such an agreement, “Cause” shall have
the meaning set forth in Section 1 of the Plan.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Participant’s termination of employment
with the Company (other than for Cause) after reaching Early Retirement Age or Normal Retirement
Age, in each case as defined in the Carey Asset Management Corp. Profit Sharing Plan.

8. Withholding of Income and Other Taxes. To the extent required by any federal, state or local
law, the Participant shall make such arrangements as may be required or be satisfactory to the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the payment of any tax withholding obligations
that arise in connection with the payment of the Shares underlying the Performance Share Units.
The Grantee shall pay such required withholding directly to the Company in cash upon request or may
elect to have such tax withholding obligation satisfied through withholding shares to be issued
pursuant to the Performance Share Units [or transferring already-owned shares]. The Company shall
not be required to deliver any Shares under this Agreement until such obligations are satisfied.

9. Adjustments. The Performance Share Units, Shares and Dividend Reinvestment Shares are subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of the Plan.

10. Legal Compliance. The Company may postpone the time of delivery of certificates of its Shares
for such additional time as the Company shall deem necessary or desirable to enable it to comply
with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or any Rules or Regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder or the requirements of other applicable laws,
including state laws relating to authorization, issuance or sale of securities and including the
rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange or such other exchange on which the Shares may
then be listed. The Participant represents and agrees that he or she is acquiring any Shares upon
payment of the Performance Share Units for his or her own account and not with the intention of
reselling or distributing the Shares, except as permitted under this Agreement and any applicable
federal and state securities laws. The Company shall have the right to take any actions it may
deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that any issuance of Shares complies with applicable
federal and state securities laws.

If Participant fails to accept delivery of the Shares upon tender of delivery thereof, his or her
right with respect to such undelivered Shares may be terminated in the Company’s discretion, or
terminated in accordance with applicable law.

11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans. The value of the Performance Share Units
granted pursuant to this Agreement and the value of Shares issued and delivered hereunder will not

Participant’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company (or any
Subsidiary), except as such plan may otherwise expressly provide.

Exhibit 10.7

W. P. CAREY & CO. LLC

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT dated as of                     , between W. P. Carey & Co. LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the “Company”), and                      (the “Grantee”).

WHEREAS, the Grantee is a Non-Employee Director of the Company and is awarded restricted share
units (“RSUs”) under the 2009 Non-Employee Directors’ Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), providing
Grantee with the right to receive a common share of the Company (the “Shares”) for each RSU granted
to Grantee.

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement wish to provide the terms and conditions upon which the
Company will grant RSUs to the Grantee.

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth
in the Plan.

ACCORDINGLY, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of RSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee
 _____ 

RSUs subject to
the terms of this Agreement. Each RSU represents the right to receive a Share, subject to
adjustment as provided in the Plan. RSUs shall not be entitled to voting rights.

2. Vesting and Payment. (a) The Grantee’s rights to any RSU granted under this
Agreement shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable upon grant.

(b) One Share shall be paid in satisfaction of each vested RSU within 30 days following the
Grantee Non-Employee Director’s separation from service, within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Code.

3. Dividend and Distribution Equivalents. With respect to each of the RSUs granted
hereunder, each time the Board of the Company shall declare a cash dividend or distribution (or
dividend or distribution payable in property other than Shares) with respect to Shares, then
provided the record date is on or after the date of this Agreement and before the date on which
Shares are recorded or paid in satisfaction of such RSUs pursuant to Section 2(b): a cash payment
(or payment of other property) shall be made to the Grantee within 30 days following the
distribution payment date fixed in such declaration equal to the amount of the distribution payable
per Share, multiplied by the number of such RSUs held by the Grantee as of the record date fixed in
such declaration; provided, however, that the right to payment of such dividend equivalents is
contingent upon Grantee’s continued service with the Company on the distribution payment date and
Grantee shall have no election with respect to the taxable year of payment.

 

 

 

4. Securities Law Compliance. (a) The Grantee understands and acknowledges by
acceptance of the RSUs that he or she is acquiring any Shares upon payment of the RSUs for his or
her own account and not with the intention of reselling or distributing the Shares, except as
permitted under this Agreement and any applicable federal and state securities laws.

(b) The Company shall have the right to take any actions it may deem necessary or appropriate
to ensure that any such issuance of Shares complies with applicable federal and state securities
laws.

5. Nontransferability of Benefits. Any RSUs are not subject to the claims of
Grantee’s creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily transferred, assigned, alienated,
accelerated or encumbered.

6. Effect on Directors’ Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
giving the Grantee any right to continue as a Director of the Company or interfere in any way with
the rights of the shareholders of the Company or the Board to elect and remove Directors.

7. Severability. If any portion of this Agreement shall be held invalid or illegal
for any reason, such event shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remainder of
this Agreement.

8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Grantee, his or her beneficiary and the Company and its successors and assigns.

9. Notice. Any notice, consent, election or demand required or permitted to be given
under the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be signed by the party giving
or making the same. If such notice, consent, election or demand is to be mailed, it shall be sent
by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such party’s last known address, or
by facsimile with proof of transmission. The date of such mailing or transmission shall be deemed
the date of notice, consent, election or demand.

10. Administration. The Committee shall have full discretionary authority to (a)
interpret, construe and administer this Agreement and to delegate all or a part of its duties and
responsibilities hereunder, and (b) make all determination as to any rights under the Agreement.
The interpretation and construction of this Agreement by the Committee or its delegate, and any
action taken hereunder, shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties in interest.
Neither the Committee nor any director, officer or Grantee of the Company shall, in any event, be
liable to any person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the
interpretation, construction or administration of this Agreement, so long as such action or
omission to act be made in good faith.

11. Amendment. Except as provided herein, this Agreement may not be amended, altered
or modified in a manner materially adverse to the Grantee, except by a written instrument signed by
the parties hereto, or their respective successors, and may not be otherwise terminated except as
provided herein.

12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
