AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Section 1.1Award of Restricted Stock Units
Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Equity Plan, the Company hereby awards to the Participant a number of Restricted Stock Units as set forth in the Notice of Award as of the Award Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Sections 2.2 or 2.3 of this Agreement.
Section 1.2Vesting
(a)Except as may be otherwise provided in Sections 2.3 and 3.4 of this Agreement, the vesting of the Participant’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.2. Except in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service prior to the relevant vesting date, the Participant’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and non-forfeitable, in three installments as follows: (1) 33% on February 1, 2022; (2) 33% on February 1, 2023; and (3) 34% on February 1, 2024 in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Award.
(b)Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 2.3 of this Agreement, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than death or Disability, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested shall be forfeited immediately; provided, however, that in the event of a Termination of Service other than for Cause, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the automatic forfeiture of any or all such Restricted Stock Units.
Section 1.3Acceleration of Vesting
(a)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, and if the Participant is employed by the Company as of the date of the Change in Control, then notwithstanding any vesting schedule provided for hereunder, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred shall become immediately vested; provided, however, that this acceleration of vesting shall not take place if the Restricted Stock Unit has been forfeited prior to the effective date of the Change in Control.
(b)Death or Disability. In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service due to death or Disability, notwithstanding any vesting schedule provided for hereunder, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested shall become immediately vested.

ARTICLE III.

SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Section 1.1Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units
(a)Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.3 of this Agreement, the Participant will have no right to Settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Vested and non-forfeitable Restricted Stock Units shall be Settled by the Company with respect to Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Sections 2.2 or 2.3 of this Agreement, reasonably promptly after the date of any such vesting (and in all events not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after such vesting date) (the “Settlement Date”).


Exhibit 10.20
(b)Such Settlement shall be accomplished by delivering to the Participant (or his beneficiary in the event of death) either (i) a certificate evidencing a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable upon that Settlement Date or (ii) an electronic issuance evidencing such Shares. To the extent that the Participant is then subject to stock ownership guidelines and that such Shares are subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to such stock ownership guidelines then such Shares (i) may be issued with a legend indicating that “THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO TRANSFERABILITY RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN THE UWM HOLDINGS CORPORATION STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES” or (ii) if delivered electronically, the Company may make such provisions as it deems necessary to ensure that each Share is subject to the same terms and conditions as shares that are represented by a physical stock certificate. Neither the Participant nor any of the Participant’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that are so paid.
Section 1.2Tax Consequences
Upon the occurrence of a vesting event specified in Sections 2.2 or 2.3 above, the Participant is responsible for all federal, state, local or foreign income and employment withholding taxes (the “Company’s Tax Withholding Obligations”) imposed by reason of the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. With respect to any vesting event specified in Sections 2.2 or 2.3(b) above, the Participant hereby irrevocably instructs Fidelity to sell sufficient shares of Class A Common Stock from this Award to cover the amount of the Company’s Tax Withholding Obligations and deliver such proceeds to the Company (a “cashless sale”) subject in each case, to any limitations imposed by the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and the U.S. federal securities laws. With respect to a vesting event specified in Section 2.3(a) above, to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code, by the Company withholding a number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the Settlement Date, which have a Fair Market Value on the date of vesting equal to the amount of the Company’s Tax Withholding Obligations (a “net-share settlement”), subject in each case, to any limitations imposed by the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and the U.S. federal securities laws.
Section 1.3Consideration to the Company
In consideration of the awarding of the Restricted Stock Units by the Company, the Participant agrees (i) to render faithful and efficient services to the Company, with such duties and responsibilities as the Company shall from time to time prescribe, and (ii) to comply with all Company Agreements to which the Participant is subject from time to time. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Equity Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.
Section 1.4Adjustments in Restricted Stock Units
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Committee may make adjustments with respect to the Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of the Equity Plan.
Section 1.5Conditions to Issuance of Class A Common Stock
The shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the Settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares of Class A Common Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of stock upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
(a)The admission of such shares of Class A Common Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed;


Exhibit 10.20
(b)The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Class A Common Stock under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;
(c)The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and
(d)The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.
Section 1.6Rights as Shareholder
The Participant shall have no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

Section 1.7Nature of Award.
In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant acknowledges that:
(a)the Equity Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b)the award of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future award of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future awards of Restricted Stock Units, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Participant’s participation in the Equity Plan is voluntary;
(e)the Restricted Stock Units and the Class A Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are outside the Participant’s employment contract, if any, and are not part of, or intended to replace, normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, or end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company;
(f)the future value of the underlying Class A Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; further, if the Participant receives Class A Common Stock from the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the value of the Class A Common Stock acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value;
(g)the Participant is responsible for seeking his or her own tax advice regarding the impact of the granting of the restricted stock units, the vesting of such restricted stock units and the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon such vesting; and

Exhibit 10.20
Section 1.8Compliance with Section 409A.
(a)General. It is the intention of the Company that the benefits and rights to which the Participant could be entitled pursuant to this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated or issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), to the extent that the requirements of Section 409A are applicable thereto, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with that intention. If the Company believes, at any time, that any such benefit or right that is subject to Section 409A does not so comply, the Company may, without the Participant’s consent, amend the terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Section 409A.
(b)Distributions on Account of Separation from Service. If and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, no payment or benefit required to be paid under this Agreement on account of the Termination of Service of the Participant shall be made unless and until the Participant incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, and applicable Treasury Regulations.
(c)6 Month Delay for Specified Employees.
(i)If the Participant is a “specified employee”, then no payment or benefit that is payable on account of the Participant’s “separation from service”, as that term is defined for purposes of Section 409A, shall be made before the date that is six months after the Participant’s “separation from service” (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death) if and to the extent that such payment or benefit constitutes deferred compensation (or may be nonqualified deferred compensation) under Section 409A and such deferral is required to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Any payment or benefit delayed by reason of the prior sentence shall be paid out or provided in a single lump sum at the end of such required delay period in order to catch up to the original payment schedule.
(ii)For purposes of this provision, the Participant shall be considered to be a “specified employee” if, at the time of his or her separation from service, the Participant is a “key employee”, within the meaning of Section 416(i) of the Code, of the Company (or any person or entity with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code) any stock in which is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise.
(d)No Acceleration of Payments. Neither the Company nor the Participant, individually or in combination, may accelerate any payment or benefit that is subject to Section 409A, except in compliance with Section 409A and the provisions of this Agreement, and no amount that is subject to Section 409A shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it may be paid without violating Section 409A.
(e)Treatment of Each Installment as a Separate Payment. For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A to this Agreement, each separately identified amount to which the Participant is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.
(f)No Guaranty of 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to the Participant that the payments or benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Participant or any beneficiary of the Participant for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the Participant or any beneficiary of the Participant may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.
