Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Navient Corporation 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) of the Navient Corporation Board of Directors (the “Board”) hereby grants to                      (the “Grantee”) on February 18, 2015 (the “Grant Date”) an award (the “Award”) of              Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), which represent the right to acquire shares of common stock of Navient Corporation (the “Corporation”) subject to the following terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”):

If not previously vested, the Award will continue to vest, and will be converted into shares of common stock, on the original vesting terms and vesting dates set forth above in the event that (i) the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) for any reason other than for Misconduct or cause, as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, or (ii) the Grantee voluntarily ceases to be an employee of the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) and meets the Corporation’s retirement eligibility requirements under the Corporation’s retirement eligibility policy in effect as of the Grant Date, which shall be determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion.

If not previously vested, the Award will vest, and will be converted into shares of common stock, upon death or Disability (provided that such Disability qualifies as a “disability” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(4)).

The Award shall be forfeited upon termination of employment due to Misconduct or cause, as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the Plan or in the Navient Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan for Senior Officers, this Award shall not be subject to the terms set forth in the Navient Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan for Senior Officers.

requirements of Section 409A so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the adverse tax penalties imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the RSUs is to be accelerated in connection with the Grantee’s termination of service, such accelerated RSUs will not be settled by virtue of such acceleration until and unless the Grantee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section Treasury Regulation 1-409A-1(h), as determined by the Corporation, in its sole discretion. Further, and notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if (x) any of the RSUs to be provided in connection with the Grantee’s separation from service do not qualify for any reason to be exempt from Section 409A, (y) the Grantee is, at the time of such separation from service, a “specified employee” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) and (z) the settlement of such RSUs would result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if such settlement occurs on or within the six (6) month period following the Grantee’s separation from service, then, to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of such additional taxation, the settlement of any such RSUs during such six (6) month period will accrue and will not be settled until the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Grantee’s separation from service and on such date (or, if earlier, the date of the Grantee’s death), such RSUs will be settled.
