TRI Pointe Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to [NAME] (the “Holder”) as of [DATE] (the “Grant Date”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the TRI Pointe Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), an award of performance-based restricted stock units (the “Award” and the restricted stock units granted pursuant to this Agreement, the “Award Units”) with respect to a maximum of [###] shares (with [###] shares referred to as the “Target Award”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), upon and subject to the restrictions, terms, and conditions set forth in the Plan and this agreement (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein or set forth in Attachment A have the respective meanings given to them in the Plan.
1.Award Subject to Acceptance of Agreement. The Award shall be null and void unless the Holder accepts this Agreement by executing it in the space provided below and returning such original execution copy to the Company, or by approving this Agreement by electronic means in a manner that has been approved by the Company.
2.Rights as a Stockholder. Each Award Unit shall represent the Holder’s right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock if and to the extent that such Award Unit becomes vested pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. The Holder shall not be entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award unless and until, and only to the extent, such shares become vested pursuant to Section 3 hereof and the Holder becomes a stockholder of record with respect to such shares. As of each date on which the Company pays a cash dividend to record owners of shares of Common Stock (a “Dividend Date”), then the number of Award Units and shares subject to the Award shall increase by (i) the product of the total number of shares subject to the Award immediately prior to such Dividend Date multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock by the Company on such Dividend Date, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such Dividend Date. Any such additional Award Units and shares shall be subject to the same restrictions, vesting conditions, and payment terms set forth herein as the Award Units and shares to which they relate.
3.Performance Period and Vesting.
3.1. Performance-Based Vesting Conditions. The Award granted pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a Performance Award (as defined in the Plan). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, if and to the extent that all or a portion of the Award (as determined in accordance with the provisions of Attachment B) shall vest on the Vesting Date as a result of the Company satisfying the Performance Measures set forth in Attachment B to this Agreement over the Performance Period, the Holder shall become vested in the Award Units, or the applicable portion thereof, if any, on the Vesting Date, provided that the Holder does not incur a Separation from Service before the Vesting Date. As used herein, (i) the term “Performance Period” shall mean the three-year period beginning on [DATE] and ending on [DATE] and (ii) the term “Vesting Date” shall mean [DATE]. If the Performance Period is shortened pursuant to Section 3.2 as a result of a Change in Control, appropriate adjustments to the performance targets, performance periods, and the determination of actual performance shall be made by the Committee in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
3.2. Change in Control and Acceleration. In the event a Change in Control occurs after the first day of the Performance Period but prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Performance Period shall terminate on the closing date of the Change in Control and the following provisions shall apply:
3.2.1. If (a) the closing of the Change in Control occurs on or before the 12-month anniversary of the first day of the Performance Period, (b) the Holder does not incur a Separation from Service before the date of the closing of the Change in Control, and (c) the Award is not assumed in full by the acquiring or successor company or its affiliate upon the closing of the Change in Control or otherwise expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control, the Target Award shall vest as of the date of the closing of the Change in Control.
3.2.2. If (a) the closing of the Change in Control occurs on or before the 12-month anniversary of the first day of the Performance Period and (b) the Award is assumed in full by the acquiring or successor company or its affiliate upon the closing of the Change in Control, or is otherwise expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control, the Target Award may become vested in accordance with the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 3.2.2. If (i) the Holder remains in service with the Company or its successor-in-interest or an affiliate thereof through the Vesting Date, the Target Award shall become fully vested effective as of the Vesting Date or (ii) if the Holder suffers a Qualifying Termination before the Vesting Date, the Target Award shall become vested upon the later of the effective date of such Qualifying Termination and the closing of the Change in Control.
3.2.3. If (a) the closing of the Change in Control occurs after the 12-month anniversary of the first day of the Performance Period, (b) the Holder does not incur a Separation from Service before the date of the closing of the Change in Control, and (c) the Award is not assumed in full by the acquiring or successor company or its affiliate upon the closing of the Change in Control or otherwise expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control, the Award shall vest as of the date of the closing of the Change in Control, but only with respect to a number of Award Units equal to the Change in Control Units.
3.2.4. If (a) the closing of the Change in Control transaction occurs after the 12-month anniversary of the first day of the Performance Period and (b) the Award is assumed in full by the acquiring or successor company or its affiliate upon the closing of the Change in Control, or is otherwise expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, the Award Units may become vested in accordance with the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 3.2.4, but only with respect to a number of Award Units equal to the Change in Control Units. If (i) the Holder remains in service with the Company or its successor-in-interest or an affiliate thereof through the Vesting Date, such Change in Control Units shall become fully effective as of the Vesting Date or (ii) if the Holder suffers a Qualifying Termination before the Vesting Date and the Holder remains in service with the Company or its successor-in-interest or an affiliate thereof through the date of such Qualifying Termination, the Change in Control Units shall become vested upon the later of the effective date of such Qualifying Termination and the closing of the Change in Control.
3.2.5. The portion of the Award Units that do not vest in the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Sections 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3, or 3.2.4 (i.e., the total number of Award Units less the number of Award Units that become vested pursuant to Sections 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.2.3, and 3.2.4) shall be cancelled and forfeited by the Holder for no consideration on the date of the Change in Control.
3.2.6. As used herein, a “Change in Control” means (i) the acquisition, other than from the Company, by any individual, entity, or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act ) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of either the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, but excluding, for this purpose, any such acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any entity with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding equity of such entity and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting equity of such entity entitled to vote generally in the election of all or substantially all of the members of such entity’s governing body is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Common Stock and voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the
2
case may be; or (ii) the consummation of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company, in each case, with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the Common Stock and voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, or consolidation; or (iii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) individuals who at the beginning of any two-year period constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual who becomes a director of the Company during such two-year period and whose election, or whose nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, to the Board was either (A) approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board or (B) recommended by a nominating committee comprised entirely of directors who are then Incumbent Board members, shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act), other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents, or an actual or threatened tender offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any bona fide primary or secondary public offering shall not constitute a Change in Control and (ii) if a Change in Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any payment or benefit that provides for the deferral of compensation and is subject to Section 409A, the Change in Control transaction or event with respect to such payment or benefit must also constitute a “change in control event,” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) to the extent required by Section 409A.
3.3. Separation from Service; Failure to Satisfy Performance Measures.
3.3.1.

3.3.2. If the Holder does not incur a Separation from Service before the Vesting Date, any Award Units in which the Holder does not become vested pursuant to the Performance Measures set forth in Attachment B shall be immediately forfeited by the Holder for no consideration and cancelled, effective as of the last day of the Performance Period.
3.3.3. Delivery of Certificates. Subject to Section 6, as soon as practicable after the vesting of Award Units, in whole or in part, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the year in which Award Units become vested, the Company shall (i) deliver or cause to be delivered one or more certificates issued in the Holder’s name (or such other name as is acceptable to the Company and designated in writing by the Holder), or (ii) issue in book entry form registered in the name of the Holder (or such other name as is acceptable to the Company and designated in writing by the Holder) a written or electronic notice or statement representing the number of vested shares represented by such vested Award Units. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 6. Prior to the issuance to the Holder of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, the Holder shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or in such shares of Common Stock, and will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.
4.Transfer Restrictions and Investment Representation.
5.1. Nontransferability of Award. The Award may not be transferred by the Holder other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, pursuant to the designation of one or more beneficiaries on the form prescribed by the Company, a trust or entity established by the Holder for estate planning purposes, or a charitable organization designated by the Holder or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, in each case, without consideration. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Award and the Award Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered, or
3
otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or otherwise dispose of the Award or the Award Units in violation of this Agreement or the Plan, the Award and the Award Units and all rights hereunder shall immediately become null and void.
5.2. Investment Representation. The Holder hereby represents and covenants that (a) any share of Common Stock acquired upon the vesting of the Award Units will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless such acquisition has been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws; (b) any subsequent sale of any such shares shall be made either pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and such state securities laws; and (c) if requested by the Company, the Holder shall submit a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such representation (x) is true and correct as of the date of vesting of any shares of Common Stock hereunder or (y) is true and correct as of the date of any sale of any such share, as applicable. As a further condition precedent to the delivery to the Holder of any shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, the Holder shall comply with all regulations and requirements of any regulatory authority having control of or supervision over the issuance or delivery of the shares and, in connection therewith, shall execute any documents which the Board shall in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable.
5.3. Additional Restrictions. If the Holder is, or becomes, a person subject to any policy of the Company providing for recoupment of performance based compensation in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results, then Xxxxxx agrees the Award and the Award Units (and any shares of Common Stock issued with respect thereto) will be subject to such recoupment policy. The Company may impose, and Xxxxxx agrees to be bound by, such restrictions, conditions, or limitations as the Company determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales or other transfers of any Award Units (and any shares of Common Stock issued with respect thereto) as to which transferability restrictions have lapsed as provided under this Agreement, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an xxxxxxx xxxxxxx or other Company policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by Xxxxxx and others following a public offering of the Company’s securities, (c) stock ownership or holding requirements, and (d) the required use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.
5.Additional Terms and Conditions of Award.
6.1. Withholding Taxes. The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock upon the vesting of the Award Units, payment by the Holder of such Award of any federal, state, local or other taxes which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with such Award (the “Required Tax Payments”). The Holder may satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company, (2) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of previously owned whole shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, (3) authorizing the Company to withhold up to the maximum required number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered or an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to the Holder having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, or (4) any combination of (1), (2), and (3). To the extent applicable, the Holder may satisfy his or her withholding obligation only with shares that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.
6.2. Adjustment. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation) that causes the per share value of shares of Common Stock to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering, or recapitalization through an extraordinary dividend, the terms of this Award, including the number and class of securities subject hereto, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee (or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation) to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of participants. The decision of the Committee
4
regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to effect or obtain any such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval, or other action.
6.4. Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment or Service. In no event shall the granting of the Award or its acceptance by the Holder, or any provision of this Agreement or the Plan, give or be deemed to give the Holder any right to continued employment by or service to the Company, any Subsidiary, or any affiliate of the Company or affect in any manner the right of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any affiliate of the Company to terminate the employment or service of any person at any time.
6.5. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Holder or by the Company forthwith to the Committee for review. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties.

6.7. Notices. All notices, requests or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be made, if to the Company, to TRI Pointe Group, Inc., Attn: Chief Financial Officer, 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, and if to the Holder, to the last known mailing address of the Holder contained in the records of the Company.

6.8. Governing Law. This Agreement, the Award, and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto and thereto, to the extent not governed by the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.
6.9. Agreement Subject to the Plan. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, including without limitation, Section 4.2 relating to terms of Performance Awards, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control. The Holder hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

If, following the date hereof, the Committee determines that the Award may be subject to Section 409A, including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the date hereof, the Committee may, in its discretion, adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt such other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies, and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or in this Agreement, the Holder agrees that the Holder (or the Holder’s estate or permitted beneficiary(ies)) will be solely responsible for the satisfaction of all taxes, interest, and penalties that may be imposed on the Holder or for the Holder’s account in connection with this Award (including, without limitation, any taxes, interest, and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor its Affiliates will have any obligation to reimburse, indemnify, or otherwise hold the Holder (or the Holder’s estate or permitted beneficiary(ies)) harmless from any or all of such taxes, interest, or penalties.
