			RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Restricted Stock Units / Nontransferability

					
					
						    

					
					
						This grant is an award of restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) relating to the number of shares of Stock set forth on the cover sheet.  The per share purchase price of par value will be satisfied by your prior service at the time of the issuance of such Stock.  The grant is subject to the vesting conditions described below.  To the extent not yet vested, your Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, whether by operation of law or otherwise.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Vesting

					
					
						 

					
					
						Your right to the Stock under this Restricted Stock Unit Grant is subject to satisfaction of both the Performance-Based Vesting Condition and the Time-Based Vesting Condition set forth below.

					
						 

					
						Performance-Based Vesting Condition. In order for you to vest in any of the shares of Stock under this Restricted Stock Unit Grant, the Company must obtain net revenue for fiscal year [year] of $###,000,000, holding metal prices constant [and excluding revenue from the Voisey’s Bay net smelter return royalty] (the “Performance-Based Vesting Condition”).  If the Performance-Based Vesting Condition is not satisfied for fiscal year [year], all of the shares of Stock underlying this Restricted Stock Unit Grant will be forfeited.

					
						 

					
						Time-Based Vesting Condition. Provided that the Performance-Based Vesting Condition is satisfied, your right to vest in the Stock under this Restricted Stock Unit Grant vests as to one-third (1/3) of the total number of shares covered by this grant, as shown on the cover sheet, on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”), provided you then continue in Service.  

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Termination after Long-Term Service

					
					
						 

					
					
						Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, if you incur a termination of Service other than for “Cause” (an “Involuntary Termination”), at any time after (i) the Performance-Based Vesting Condition has been satisfied, and (ii) you have provided fifteen (15) years of Service to the Company or its Affiliates, you shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested in the Restricted Stock Units as of the date of such termination of Service.

					
						 

					
						As used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean reasons justifying termination with immediate effect pursuant to your "Employment Contract" (that certain Employment Contract between you and RGLD Gold AG dated [Employment Contract Date], as the same may be amended after the date hereof.)

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Termination without Cause; Change of Control

					
					
						 

					
					
						Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, if you incur an Involuntary Termination  during the term of your Employment Contract, and both (A) any such termination of Service or your Employment Contract occurs after the Performance-Based Vesting Condition has been satisfied, and (B) any such termination does not occur within the period of time beginning ninety (90) days prior to and ending two (2) years after the occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined in your Employment Contract), then, you will be vested as of the date of your termination in a prorated portion of the shares of Stock under this Restricted Stock Unit Grant subject to this Agreement calculated by dividing (x)

						the number of days that you have remained in Service between the Grant Date and the termination date, by (y) the number of days required for you to fully vest in this grant of Restricted Stock Units as set forth in the section entitled “Vesting” above.  The resulting aggregate number of vested shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the number of shares set forth on the cover sheet.

					
						 

					
						If you incur an Involuntary Termination during the term of your Employment Contract, and both (A) any such termination of Service or your Employment Contract occurs after the Performance-Based Vesting Condition has been satisfied, and (B) any such termination occurs within the period beginning ninety (90) days prior to and ending two (2) years after the occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined in your Employment Contract), then, you will be one hundred percent (100%) vested in the number of unvested shares of Stock remaining under this grant, set forth on the cover sheet as of the date of your termination, or, if later, the occurrence of such Change of Control.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Forfeiture of Unvested Units

					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						In the event that your Service terminates for any reason, except as provided above in the sections entitled “Termination after Long-Term Service” and "Termination without Cause; Change of Control," you will forfeit all of the shares of Stock under this Restricted Stock Unit Grant that have not yet vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if you incur a termination of Service for any reason prior to the satisfaction of the Performance-Based Vesting Condition, you will forfeit all of the shares of Stock under this grant and will not thereafter vest in any shares of Stock.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Leaves of Absence

					
					
						 

					
					
						For purposes of this award of Restricted Stock Units, the impact of any leave of absence on your Service shall be determined in accordance with Company policies and procedures and Applicable Laws.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Share Delivery of Vested Units

					
					
						 

					
					
						Shares underlying the vested shares of Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units will be delivered to you by the Company as soon as practicable after the Restricted Stock Units have vested, but in no event later than 60 days following the date such Restricted Stock Units became vested.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Evidence of Issuance

					
					
						 

					
					
						The issuance of the shares of Stock upon any vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced in such a manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including without limitation, book-entry or direct registration (including transaction advices) or a certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of Stock.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Withholding Taxes

					
					
						 

					
					
						You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements consistent with Company policies and procedures to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of this grant or the vesting, settlement or issuance of shares related to this grant.  You may satisfy such withholding or other tax obligations by remitting cash payments to the Company within the time periods specified by Company policies and procedures or, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, by causing the Company or its Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to you as a result of this grant.  The shares of Stock so withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations.

						In the event that the Company determines that any withholding or other tax is required and you have not made satisfactory arrangements to satisfy such obligations within the time periods specified by Company policies and procedures, the Company shall have the right to:  (i) require such payments from you; (ii) withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate; or (iii) withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to you as a result of this grant.  Any shares of Stock so withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Retention Rights

					
					
						 

					
					
						This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity.  The Company (and any Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Shareholder Rights

					
					
						 

					
					
						You do not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Stock relating to the Restricted Stock Units has been delivered to you.

					
						You will, however, as of each dividend record date for Stock occurring on or after the Grant Date of the Restricted Stock Units and prior to the date the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units are delivered (or, if applicable, the date of forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units), be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend that you would have been entitled to receive had you held the number of shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units on such record date, payable on the date of payment of the applicable dividend in cash or such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equivalent to such amount (each as determined by the Company in its sole discretion).

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Forfeiture of Rights

					
					
						 

					
					
						If you should take actions in competition with the Company in violation of your Employment Contract, the Company shall have the right to cause a forfeiture of your rights, including, but not limited to: (i) a forfeiture of any outstanding unvested Restricted Stock Units, and (ii) with respect to the period commencing twelve (12) months prior to your termination of Service with the Company (A) a forfeiture of any proceeds received upon a sale of shares acquired by you upon vesting of shares of Restricted Stock Units or (B) a forfeiture of any shares of Stock acquired by you upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.  

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Adjustments

					
					
						 

					
					
						In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Company Stock, the number of shares covered by this grant may be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.  Your Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Applicable Law

					
					
						 

					
					
						This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Voluntary Participation

					
					
						 

					
					
						You agree that your participation in the Plan and the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to you by the Company pursuant to the Plan and this Agreement is voluntary.

						Performance Shares – Number and Transferability

					
					
						    

					
					
						This grant is an award of performance shares in the number of shares set forth on the cover sheet, subject to the vesting conditions described below (the “Performance Shares”).  The purchase price for the Performance Shares is deemed paid by your services. The number of Performance Shares, if any, that may be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be calculated based on the attainment of specified performance goals, as set forth on the attached Exhibit A. Your Performance Shares may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Performance Shares be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Vesting

					
					
						 

					
					
						You will vest in the number of Performance Shares, if any, determined in accordance with the terms of Exhibit A following the availability of data upon which vesting can be calculated, but in no event later than September 30 of any year in which shares are eligible to vest; provided that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, you continue in continuous Service from the Grant Date to the Service Date(s) specified in Exhibit A.

					
						 

					
						Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no additional Performance Shares will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason.

					
						 

					
						All Performance Shares that have not vested as a result of performance or otherwise as a result of the provisions of this Agreement on or prior to the date(s) specified in Exhibit A will be forfeited.

					
						 

					
						The Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) has the authority to certify whether the vesting thresholds set forth in Exhibit A have been achieved.  Further, the Committee shall determine if you have incurred an Involuntary Termination and whether or not such Involuntary Termination was in connection with a Change in Control.  Any such determinations shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee.  The resulting aggregate number of vested Performance Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Performance Shares.  You may not vest in more than the maximum number of Performance Shares set forth on the cover sheet.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Termination without Cause; Change of Control

					
					
						 

					
					
						Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting rules, if your Service or your Employment Contract is terminated without “Cause” (an “Involuntary Termination”) during the term of your Employment Contract, and any such termination does not occur within the period beginning ninety (90) days prior to and ending two (2) years after the occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined in your Employment Contract), then, you will be eligible to vest in a prorated portion of the Performance Shares to which you would be entitled based on the Company’s performance through the last day of the Company’s fiscal year in which your Service is terminated and determined in accordance with the Company’s practices as in effect at such time.  Once the Committee has determined the degree to which the performance criteria through the last day of the Company’s fiscal year in which your Service is terminated has been satisfied, your prorated vesting portion will be determined by multiplying the number of Performance Shares that would otherwise vest based on Company performance by a fraction, where the numerator is the number of days you remained in Service from

						the Grant Date through the date of your termination of Service and the denominator is the number of days from the Grant Date to the date the performance criteria were satisfied.  The resulting aggregate number of vested shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the maximum number of shares set forth on the cover sheet.

					
						 

					
						If you incur an Involuntary Termination  during the term of your Employment Contract, and any such termination occurs within the period beginning ninety (90) days prior to and ending two (2) years after the occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined in your Employment Contract), then, you will be one hundred percent (100%) vested in the maximum number of Performance Shares set forth on the cover sheet as of the date of your termination.

					
						 

					
						As used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean reasons justifying termination with immediate effect pursuant to your “Employment Contract” (that certain Employment Contract between you and RGLD Gold AG dated January 1, 2019, as the same may be amended after the date hereof.)

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Delivery of Stock Pursuant to Vested Performance Shares

					
					
						 

					
					
						Unless an earlier delivery date is specified below, Stock represented by the vested Performance Shares (which shares of Stock will be rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares) will be delivered to you as soon as practicable following the end of the fiscal year for which Performance Shares are determined to vest, but in no event later than September 30 of such year.  

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Forfeiture of Unvested Performance Shares

					
					
						 

					
					
						In the event that your Service terminates for any reason, except as provided above in the section entitled "Termination without Cause; Change of Control," you will forfeit all of the Performance Shares that have not yet vested.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Leaves of Absence

					
					
						 

					
					
						For purposes of this award of Performance Shares, the impact of any leave of absence on your Service shall be determined in accordance with Company policies and procedures and Applicable Laws.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Withholding Taxes

					
					
						 

					
					
						You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements consistent with Company policies and procedures to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of this grant or the vesting, settlement or issuance of shares related to this grant.  You may satisfy such withholding or other tax obligations by remitting cash payments to the Company within the time periods specified by Company policies and procedures or, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, by causing the Company or its Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to you as a result of this grant.  The shares of Stock so withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations.

					
						 

					
						In the event that the Company determines that any withholding or other tax is required and you have not made satisfactory arrangements to satisfy such obligations within the time periods specified by Company policies and procedures, the Company shall have the right to:  (i) require such payments from you; (ii) withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate; or (iii) withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to you as a result of this grant.  Any shares of Stock so withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations.

						Retention Rights

					
					
						    

					
					
						Neither the Performance Shares nor this Agreement give you the right to be retained by the Company (or any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in any capacity.  The Company (and any parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates) reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Forfeiture of Rights

					
					
						 

					
					
						If you should take actions in competition with the Company, the Company shall have the right to cause a forfeiture of your rights, including, but not limited to: (i) a forfeiture of any outstanding unvested Performance Shares, and (ii) with respect to the period commencing twelve (12) months prior to your termination of Service (A) a forfeiture of any proceeds received upon a sale of shares acquired by you upon vesting of Performance Shares or (B) a forfeiture of any shares of Stock acquired by you upon vesting of the Performance Shares. Unless otherwise specified in your Employment Contract, you take actions in competition with the Company if, within one year of your termination of Service, you directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or are a proprietor, director, officer, stockholder, member, partner or an employee or agent of, or a consultant to any business, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity that is in the business of creating, financing, acquiring, investing in and managing precious metal royalties, precious metal streams and similar interests. Under the prior sentence, ownership of less than 1% of the securities of a public company shall not be treated as an action in competition with the Company.

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Shareholder Rights

					
					
						 

					
					
						You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until the shares of Stock relating to the vested Performance Shares have been issued.  Except as described in the Plan, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your shares are issued.
