This restricted stock agreement (“Restricted Stock Award” or “Agreement”) is and will be subject in every respect to the provisions of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Blue Hills Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. A copy of the Plan has been provided to each person granted a Restricted Stock Award pursuant to the Plan. The holder of this Restricted Stock Award (the “Participant”) hereby accepts this Restricted Stock Award, subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, and agrees that all decisions under and interpretations of the Plan and this Agreement by the Committee appointed to administer the Plan (“Committee”) or the Board will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant and the Participant’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” will include the parent and all present and future subsidiaries of the Company as defined in Section 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined will have the same meaning as in the Plan.

2.Date of Grant: October 7, 2015
3. | Total number of shares of Company common stock, $0.01 par value per share, covered by the Restricted Stock Award: 40,000 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9 hereof). |
4. | Performance-Based Vesting. The Committee has set three performance metrics in order to achieve full vesting of this Award. The Award will vest over a five-year period, with a maximum of up to 8,000 Awards vesting each year. The performance metrics will be weighted 50%, 25% and 25%. The measurement period will be the twelve month period coinciding with the calendar year, commencing in calendar year 2016. The "determination date" for purposes of vesting of each installment will be March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year for which the satisfaction of the Award is being determined (or as soon thereafter during said calendar year as achievement or non-achievement of the performance metrics can be determined, with any delayed date being deemed the "determination date"). In order to vest in the Award: (i) the Committee must certify, in writing, that the performance metrics were in fact satisfied, and (ii) the Participant must be employed on the determination date, unless the provisions of the next paragraph are applicable. |
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Restricted Stock Award becomes vested as follows. Vesting will automatically accelerate pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Plan (in the event of death or Disability or Involuntary Termination following a Change in Control).
(A). Annual Non-Performing Loans as a Percentage of Total Loans vs. Peer Median*
Up to 50% of the Restricted Stock Award vesting in any year under this Agreement (up to 4,000 shares per year) can be earned based upon Company results against this performance goal. Any portion of the Restricted Stock that does not vest under this performance goal will be forfeited. To determine whether this performance goal has been satisfied, this metric will be measured on a calendar year basis commencing with the calendar year ending December
31, 2016 and continuing through December 31, 2020. On the determination date, as defined above, the Committee will certify as to the satisfaction or non-satisfaction of this performance metric.

The Restricted Stock Award will be in the form of issued and outstanding shares of Stock that will be either registered in the name of the Participant and held by the Company, together with a stock power executed by the Participant in favor of the Company, pending the vesting or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, or registered in the name of, and delivered to, the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may in its sole discretion, issue Restricted Stock in any other format (e.g., electronically) in order to facilitate the paperless transfer of such Awards.
If certificated, the certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock Award will bear a legend restricting the transferability of the Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock awarded to the Participant will not be sold, encumbered hypothecated or otherwise transferred except in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

(b) | Disability. In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service due to Disability, all Restricted Stock granted hereunder will vest as of the date of Disability. |
(c) | Retirement. In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service due to the Participant’s Retirement during any calendar year of the performance period, the Participant may vest in a part of the Restricted Stock Award that would vest in such calendar year, so long as the vesting is not accelerated but shall occur on the determination date (which will be following Retirement), based on the period of the Participant's active employment and the level of achievement of the performance measures during the period of such active employment. “Retirement” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 8.1(dd) of the Plan. |
(d) | Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s Service has been terminated for Cause, any Restricted Stock granted hereunder that has not vested as of the date of Termination of Service |
will be forfeited and cancelled.
