PURSUANT TO THE

 

EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR INCENTIVE RESTRICTED
SHARE PLAN

OF

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL HOSPITALITY TRUST,
INC.

 

THIS RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), made as __________, 201___, is by and between American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust, Inc.,
a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and ___________ (the “Participant”).

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board”) adopted, and the stockholders of the Company approved, the Employee and Director Incentive Restricted
Share Plan of American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust, Inc. (as such plan may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”);

 

WHEREAS, as a non-employee director of the
Company, pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan, upon the date of your initial
election to the Board you were automatically granted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share
(“Common Stock”) as set forth below and will be automatically granted additional shares of Common Stock on the
date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders after the date thereof that you remain a non-employee director
of the Company as set forth below; and

 

WHEREAS, such shares
of Common Stock are subject to certain restrictions prior to the vesting thereof as set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant
agree as follows:

 

1.          Grant
of Shares. Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of
the Plan and this Agreement, as of each of (i) __________, 201____, the date of your initial election to the Board (the “Initial
Grant Date”), and (ii) the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders thereafter (each an “Annual
Grant Date”, and together with the Initial Grant Date, each a “Grant Date”),
pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan, you were or will be, as applicable, automatically granted 1,333 shares of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock (the “Shares”).
To the extent required by applicable law, the Participant will pay the Company the par value ($.01) for each Share awarded to the
Participant simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement in cash or cash equivalents payable to the order of the Company.
Pursuant to the Plan and Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, the Shares are subject to certain restrictions, which restrictions
and possible risk of forfeiture will expire in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Sections 2 and 3 hereof. While such
restrictions are in effect, the Shares subject to such restrictions will be referred to herein as “Restricted Shares”
and the period during which the Shares are subject to such restrictions will be referred to herein as the “Restriction
Period.”

 

2.          Restrictions
on Transfer. The Participant will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
exchange, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Shares, except as set forth in the Plan or this Agreement.
Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition of the Restricted Shares
in violation of the Plan or this Agreement will be void and of no effect and the Company will have the right to disregard the same
on its books and records and to issue “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

3.          Vesting.
Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Restricted Shares will vest and cease to be Restricted Shares, and accordingly,
the restrictions contained in Sections 2 and 5 will no longer apply (but the Shares will remain subject to Section 9) as follows:

 

(a)          Twenty
percent (20%) upon each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the applicable Grant Date (i.e.,
upon the anniversaries of the Initial Grant Date with respect to the Restricted
Shares granted upon the Participant’s initial election to the Board and upon the anniversaries of each applicable Annual
Grant Date for any Restricted Shares granted to the Participant on the date of an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders),
subject in each case to the Participant not incurring a Termination prior to such vesting date.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
Section 3(a), the Restricted Shares will become fully vested and cease to be Restricted Shares on the effective date of the consummation
of a Change in Control (as defined on Appendix A), subject to the Participant not incurring a Termination prior to such vesting
date.

 

(c)          There
will be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to the applicable vesting dates and all vesting will occur only
on the appropriate vesting date.

 

4.          Forfeiture.
If a Participant incurs a Termination for any reason, the Participant will automatically forfeit any unvested Restricted Shares
and the Company will acquire such unvested Restricted Shares for the amount paid by the Participant for such Restricted Shares
(or, if no amount was paid by the Participant for such Restricted Shares, then the Company will acquire such Restricted Shares
for no consideration).

 

5.          Rights
as a Holder of Restricted Shares. From and after the Grant Date,
the Participant will have, with respect to the Restricted Shares, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including,
without limitation, the right to vote the Shares, to receive and retain all regular cash distributions payable to holders of Shares
of record on and after the Grant Date (although such distributions will be treated, to the extent required by applicable law, as
additional compensation for tax purposes), and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Shares with respect
to the Restricted Shares, with the exception that: (i) to the extent the Company issues a distribution in the form other than a
cash distribution, including in the form of Shares or other property, such distribution will be subject to the same restrictions
that are then applicable to the Restricted Shares under the Plan and this Agreement and such restrictions will expire at the same
time as the restrictions on the Restricted Shares expire; and (ii) the Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange,
encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

6.          Taxes;
Section 83(b) Election. The Participant will be solely responsible
for all applicable foreign, Federal, state, local or other taxes with respect to the Restricted Shares; provided, however, that
at any time the Company is required to withhold any such taxes, the Participant acknowledges that (i) no later than the date on
which any Restricted Shares will have become vested, the Participant will pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory
to the Company regarding payment of, any Federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect
to any Restricted Shares which will have become so vested; (ii) the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right
to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any Federal, state or local or other taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Shares which will have become so vested, including that the Company
may, but will not be required to, sell a number of Restricted Shares sufficient to cover applicable withholding taxes; and (iii)
in the event that the Participant does not satisfy (i) above on a timely basis, the Company may, but will not be required to, pay
such required withholding and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, treat such amount as a demand loan to the Participant
at the maximum rate permitted by law, with such loan, at the Company’s sole discretion and provided the Company so notifies
the Participant within thirty (30) days of the making of the loan, secured by the Restricted Shares and any failure by the Participant
to pay the loan upon demand will entitle the Company to all of the rights at law of a creditor secured by the Restricted Shares.
The Company may hold as security any certificates representing any Restricted Shares and, upon demand of the Company, the Participant
will deliver to the Company any certificates in his or her possession representing the Restricted Shares together with a stock
power duly endorsed in blank. The Participant also acknowledges that it is his or her sole responsibility, and not the Company’s,
to file timely and properly any election under Section 83(b) of the Code, and any corresponding provisions of state tax laws, if
the Participant wishes to utilize such election. Although the Company makes no guarantee with
respect to the tax treatment of the Restricted Shares, the award of Restricted Shares pursuant to this Agreement is intended
to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and will be limited, construed and interpreted in
accordance with such intent. With respect to any distributions and other property issued in respect of the Shares, however,
this Agreement is intended to comply with, or to be exempt from, the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and will
be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. In
no event whatsoever will the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may
be imposed on the Participant by Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

 

7.          No
Obligation to Continue Employment or Service. This Agreement is
not an agreement of employment or service. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the issuance of the Restricted Shares hereunder
constitute an agreement by the Company or any of its Affiliates to employ or retain, or to continue to employ or retain, the Participant
during the entire, or any portion of, the term of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any period during which any Restricted
Shares are outstanding, nor does it modify in any respect the Company or its Affiliate’s right to terminate or modify the
Participant’s service or compensation.

 

8.          Legend.
In the event that a certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares is issued, the certificate representing the Restricted Shares
will have endorsed thereon the following legends:

 

    	3

the vesting of the Restricted Shares, and in this connection the Company is relying in part on the Participant’s representations
set forth in this section.

 

(b)          If
the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless an

“re-offer prospectus”) with regard to such Shares.

 

(c)          The
Company is under no obligation to register the Shares (or to file a “re-offer prospectus”).

 

(d)          If

and transfers of the Restricted Shares provided for herein, and the Participant hereby ratifies and confirms that which the Company,
as said attorney-in-fact, will do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, the Participant will, if so requested by the Company, execute
and deliver to the Company all such instruments as may, in the judgment of the Company, be advisable for this purpose.

or any life insurance, disability or other benefit plan of the Company.

 

(d)          No
modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against

Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original,
but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance by another party of any provision of this Agreement will not affect
the right of such party to require performance of that provision, and any waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of
this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision
itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement.
