Subject to the terms and conditions of the Notice of Restricted Share Unit Award (the “Notice”), this Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”), and the Pebblebrook Hotel Trust 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), hereby grants the individual set forth in the Notice (the “Participant”) Restricted Share Units (the “RSUs”) identified therein, which otherwise qualify under the Plan as an Other Equity-Based Award or any other permissible award under the Plan. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all terms used in this Award Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Notice or the Plan.

1.Grant of an RSU. The principal features of the RSU, including the number of RSUs subject to the Award, are set forth in the Notice.

2.Vesting Schedule and Risk of Forfeiture.

(a)Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2 or the Plan, subject to the Participant’s continuous service as an employee, member of the Board or consultant, and any other limitations set forth in the Notice, the Plan and this Award Agreement, the RSUs will vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule provided in the Notice (the “Vesting Schedule”). Unless and until the RSUs have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, the Participant will have no right to receive any dividends or other distribution with respect to the RSUs. In the event of the termination of the Participant’s continuous service as an employee, member of the Board or consultant, prior to the vesting of all of the RSUs (but after giving effect to any accelerated vesting pursuant to this Section 2 and the Plan), any unvested RSUs (and all rights arising from such RSUs and from being a holder thereof) will terminate automatically without any further action by the Company and will be forfeited without further notice and at no cost to the Company.

(b)Risk of Forfeiture. The RSUs will be subject to a risk of forfeiture until such time as the RSUs vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. Notwithstanding anything in the Notice or this Award Agreement to the contrary, the vested and unvested RSUs will automatically and immediately be forfeited upon the termination of the Participant’s status as an employee, member of the Board or consultancy for Cause; provided, however, that in the event the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause and it is later determined that the Participant is acquitted of the act or acts giving rise to the purported Cause determination, then such employment termination shall immediately and automatically be retroactively recharacterized as a termination by the Company without Cause and the accelerated vesting provisions set forth in the Vesting Schedule shall retroactively and automatically apply. The Company may implement any forfeiture under this Section 2(b) in a unilateral manner, without the Participant’s consent, and with no payment to the Participant, cash or otherwise, for the forfeited RSUs.

3.Settlement of RSUs. Subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, and as soon as administratively practicable, the vested RSUs shall be converted to Shares and distributed to the Participant in accordance with the Vesting Schedule (and irrespective of whether the Participant has attained Retirement eligibility).Any fractional RSU that becomes vested hereunder shall be rounded down at the time Shares are issued in settlement of such RSU. No fractional Shares, nor the cash value of any fractional Shares, will be issuable or payable to the Participant pursuant to this Award Agreement. All Shares issued hereunder, if any, shall be delivered either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares to the Participant or by entering such Shares in book-entry form, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The value of the Shares shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time. Neither this Section 3 nor any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with this Award Agreement shall be construed to create a trust or a funded or secured obligation of any kind.

4.Dividend Equivalents. The Participant shall be entitled to any Dividend Equivalents with respect to the RSUs to reflect any dividends payable on Shares. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions as the RSUs to which they are attributable and shall be paid on the same date that the RSUs to which they are attributable are settled in accordance with Section 3 hereof. Dividend Equivalents may be accumulated and deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Share Units or may be accumulated in cash, as determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

5.Taxes. The Participant hereby acknowledges and understands that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the Participant’s receipt of, vesting in, or disposition of, the RSUs.

(a)Representations. The Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s tax advisors the tax consequences of the Notice, this Award Agreement and the RSUs granted hereunder, including any federal, state, local or foreign tax laws. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Administrator, the Company, any Affiliate or any of their respective agents (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice. The Participant hereby acknowledges and understands that the Participant (and not the Company nor any Affiliate) will be responsible for the Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the Participant receiving this Award Agreement and the RSUs granted hereunder.

(b)Payment of Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of the RSUs results in compensation income or wages to the Participant for federal, state, local or foreign tax purposes, the Participant will make appropriate arrangements with the Company or any Affiliate for the satisfaction of all withholding requirements and other tax obligations applicable to any RSUs that vest and are settled in Shares in accordance with Section 3, which arrangements may include, at the Administrator’s election, the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Shares (including previously owned Shares, net settlement, a broker- assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of cash or Shares otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Administrator deems appropriate. If such tax obligations are satisfied through the withholding of Shares that are otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Award (or through the surrender of previously owned Shares by the Participant to the Company), the maximum number of Shares of that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or surrender equal to the minimum withholding rate for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment for the Company with respect to this Award, as determined by the Administrator. The Participant hereby acknowledges the Company’s and any Affiliate’s obligations under this Award Agreement are fully contingent on the Participant first satisfying this Section 5(b). Therefore, a failure of the Participant to reasonably satisfy this Section 5 in accordance with the Administrator’s sole and absolute discretion will result in the automatic termination and expiration of this Award Agreement and the Company’s obligations hereunder. The Participant hereby agrees that a breach of this Section 5(b) will be deemed to be a material breach of this Award Agreement.

(c)Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Plan to the contrary, the RSUs granted pursuant to this Award Agreement are intended to be exempt from the limitations and requirements of Section 409A of the Code, as amended from time to time, including the guidance and regulations promulgated thereunder and successor provisions, guidance and regulations thereto (“Section 409A”) and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Nevertheless, to the extent that the Administrator determines that the RSUs may not be exempt from Section 409A, then, if the Participant is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Administrator, at a time when the Participant becomes eligible for settlement of the RSUs upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such settlement will be delayed until the earlier of: (a) the date that is six months following the Participant’s separation from service and (b) the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Affiliates make no representations that the RSUs provided under this Award Agreement are exempt from or compliant with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company or any Affiliate be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

6.Non-Transferability of RSUs. The RSUs may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries of the Participant’s RSUs in the event of the Participant’s death on a beneficiary designation form provided by the Administrator. The terms of this Award Agreement are binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and transferees of the Participant.

7.No Rights as a Shareholder of the Company. The Participant’s receipt of the grant of RSUs pursuant to the Notice and this Award Agreement will not provide or confer rights or status as a shareholder of the Company until such time the RSUs are settled in Shares in accordance with Section 3 of this Award Agreement.

8.Legality of Initial Issuance. No Shares will be issued in accordance with Section 3 of this Award Agreement unless and until the Administrator has determined that: (a) the Company and the Participant have taken all actions required to register the Shares under the Securities Act or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements thereof, if applicable; (b) all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Shares are listed, if any, have been satisfied; and (c) any other applicable provision of any Applicable Laws has been satisfied.
