EXHIBIT 10.1

REDWOOD TRUST, INC.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT dated as of the [Date] day of [Month] [Year] (the “Award Agreement”), by and between Redwood Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and [First Name] [Last Name], an employee, consultant or non-employee director of the Company (the “Participant”).

Pursuant to the Redwood Trust, Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Participant is to be granted an award of Performance Stock Units for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein and on Exhibit A hereto (the “Award”), and the Company hereby grants such Award.  This Award is being made in connection with a deferral of compensation by the Participant pursuant to the Redwood Trust, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended to date (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), and the executed Deferral Election attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Deferral Election”). Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan, as applicable.

1.             Number of Performance Stock Units Awarded.   This Award Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of a Performance Stock Unit Award with a target award of [______] shares of Common Stock, as the same may be adjusted to reflect cash dividends declared on the Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 (the “Target Shares”). The number of units representing shares of Common Stock that vest and shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to this Award (the “Award Shares”) shall be determined based upon the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Performance Goals”) and may range from zero percent (0%) to two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Target Shares.

2.             Effect of Dividends on Target Shares.   On the last day of the Performance Period (as defined in Exhibit A) (or, in the event the Performance Period ends due to a Change in Control, on the applicable vesting date), the number of Target Shares set forth in Section 1 shall automatically be increased to reflect all cash dividends, if any, which have been declared to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock with a record date during the period beginning on the date of this Award Agreement and ending on the applicable vesting date (such period, the “Award Period”).  On such date, the Target Shares shall be automatically increased by an aggregate number of shares determined by multiplying (x) the number of Target Shares set forth in Section 1 by (y) the Dividend Reinvestment Factor (as defined below) with respect to the Award Period.

             “Dividend Reinvestment Factor” shall mean, with respect to the Company and a designated period of time, the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquired from the reinvestment of cash dividends, if any, which have been declared to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock with a record date during such designated period of time, with respect to one share of Common Stock outstanding on the first day of such designated period of time.   Such number of shares shall be determined cumulatively, for each cash dividend declared with a record date during such designated period of time (beginning with the first such cash dividend with a record date during such designated period of time and continuing chronologically with each such subsequent cash dividend declared with a record date during such designated period of time (and in each case other than the first such cash dividend, taking into account any increase in shares resulting from the application of this formula to the chronologically immediately preceding cash dividend)), by multiplying (i) the applicable number of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the record date of such cash dividend (which in the case of the first such cash dividend declared with a record date during such designated period of time shall be one) by (ii) the per share amount of such cash dividend and dividing the product by the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the ex-dividend date with respect to such dividend. With respect to a Comparator Group Company, Dividend Reinvestment Factor shall be determined in a manner consistent with the foregoing, but in respect of such Comparator Group Company’s common stock.

Any amounts that may become payable in respect of this Section 2 shall be treated separately from the Award Shares and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

Any calculations made pursuant to this Section 2 shall contemplate any necessary adjustments to the number of Target Shares in accordance with Section 14.2 of the Plan in the event of a Change in Control.

3.             Vesting and Payment of Award.   Except as otherwise may be provided in Exhibit A under subclause (i) of “Vesting (Change in Control)”, the Award Shares shall vest and be credited as of [January 1, 2023], if at all, provided that the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, whether and to what extent the Performance Goals set forth in Exhibit A have been attained.  The crediting of the Award Shares is contingent on the attainment of the Performance Goals as set forth on Exhibit A.  In connection with such determination by the Committee and subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement (including Exhibit A), the Participant shall be entitled to crediting of that portion of the Performance Stock Units as corresponds to the Performance Goals attained (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) as set forth on Exhibit A.

No Award Shares shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, whether and to what extent the Performance Goals set forth in Exhibit A have been attained and the number of Award Shares earned pursuant to the Award have been determined and have vested in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A.  Any shares of Common Stock in respect of Award Shares shall be delivered to the Participant at the time or times provided in the Deferral Election and the Deferred Compensation Plan (or any re-deferral election made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan).  

(a)         Upon:

(i)          the Participant’s Retirement (as defined below) prior to [January 1, 2021] (or, if earlier, the expiration of the Performance Period), the Target Shares shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis to reflect (x) the number of days of employment completed during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement divided by (y) 365 (or, if less, the number of days in the Performance Period), and the Award shall continue to be eligible to vest and become payable based on such prorated number of Target Shares and the Performance Goals in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A; or

(ii) the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee by the Company without Cause (as defined below) prior to the expiration of the Performance Period, the Target Shares shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis to reflect (x) the number of days of employment completed during the period beginning on first day of the Performance Period divided by (y) 1,095 (or, if less, the number of days in the Performance Period), and the Award shall continue to be eligible to vest and become payable based on such prorated number of Target Shares and the Performance Goals in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A.

(b)         Upon the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee due to Retirement on or after [January 1, 2021], death or Disability (or, if the Participant is party to an employment agreement with the Company, in accordance with such employment agreement in the case of a Termination of Service for “Good Reason”, as defined in such employment agreement) prior to the expiration of the Performance Period, the Target Shares shall not be reduced, and the Award shall continue to be eligible to vest and become payable based on the number of Target Shares and the Performance Goals in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A.  

(c)         Upon the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement, or without Cause (or, if the Participant is party to an employment agreement with the Company, for Good Reason), prior to expiration of the Performance Period, all Award Shares shall become ineligible for crediting to the Participant’s Deferral Account and shall be forfeited.  

(d)         Any Award Shares which have vested and been credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account prior to (or in connection with) the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee shall not be forfeited in the event of such Termination of Service as an Employee but rather delivery of such shares shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Deferral Election and the Deferred Compensation Plan (or any re-deferral election made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan).

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Cause” shall have such meaning defined in the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company or, if no such agreement exists or does exist but does not contain such a definition, shall mean (i) the Participant’s material failure to substantially perform the reasonable and lawful duties of the Participant’s position for the Company, which failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by the Company to the Participant; (ii) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the Participant’s part in respect of the performance of the Participant’s duties, the Participant’s fiduciary obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company; (iii) the habitual or repeated neglect of the Participant’s duties; (iv) the Participant’s conviction of a felony; (v) the Participant’s theft or embezzlement, or attempted theft or embezzlement, of money or tangible or intangible assets or property of the Company or its employees, customers, clients, or others having business relations with the Company; (vi) any act of moral turpitude by the Participant injurious to the interest, property, operations, business or reputation of the Company; or (vii) the Participant’s unauthorized use or disclosure of trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information pertaining to the Company’s business.

For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean a Termination of Service due to retirement (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) if such Termination of Service (i) occurs on or after the completion by the Participant of ten (10) years of employment with the Company (which need not be continuous) and (ii) the sum of the Participant’s age and years of service as an Employee equals or exceeds seventy (70) (in each case measured in years, rounded down to the nearest whole number). [Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, a Termination of Service shall only constitute a Retirement if the Participant provides the Company with at least [insert #] months’ written notice of his or her anticipated retirement (which notice period may be up to 12 months, based on the Participant’s position with the Company at the time of such anticipated retirement).]

5.             Adjustments.   This Award and the Performance Goals shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan.

6.             At-Will Employment.   This Award Agreement is not an employment contract and nothing in this Award Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation of the Participant to continue as an Employee, Consultant or Director of the Company or on the part of the Company to continue the employment or other service relationship of the Participant with the Company.  It is understood and agreed to by the Participant that the Award and participation in the Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan does not alter the at-will nature of the Participant’s relationship with the Company (subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement the Participant may have with the Company).  The at-will nature of the Participant’s relationship with the Company can only be altered by a writing signed by both the Participant and the Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Company. 

7.             Notices.   Any notice required or permitted under this Award Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United States Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Participant either at the Participant’s address set forth below or such other address as the Participant may designate in writing to the Company, and to the Company:  Attention:  General Counsel, at the Company’s address or such other address as the Company may designate in writing to the Participant.

8.             Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver.   The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Award Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

9.             Restrictive Covenants; Arbitration. The Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant’s right to receive and retain the Award Shares and any DER payments is subject to and conditioned upon the Participant’s continued compliance with the restrictive covenants contained in Exhibit C attached hereto. In addition, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that any dispute arising with respect to this Award and this Award Agreement will be subject to the Alternative Dispute Resolution provisions set forth in an Employment and Confidentiality Agreement by and between the Participant and the Company.

10.          Existing Agreements.   This Award Agreement does not supersede nor does it modify any existing agreements between the Participant and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a party to an employment agreement with the Company that includes provisions relating to the treatment of equity awards upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company, then (i) the terms of this Award Agreement shall supersede the terms of such employment agreement solely with respect to the treatment of the Performance Stock Unit award granted hereby upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company due to Retirement as defined herein; and (ii) except as set forth on Exhibit A under “Vesting (Change in Control)”, the terms of such employment agreement shall supersede the terms of this Award Agreement solely with respect to the treatment of the Performance Stock Unit award granted hereby upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company for any other reason.

11.          Incorporation of Plan.   The Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Award Agreement, and this Award Agreement is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan as in effect from time to time.  

12.          Amendments.    This Award Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deferral Election shall be irrevocable and the dates specified for distribution of vested Award Shares may not be modified after the date hereof except as otherwise permitted under Section 409A of the Code.

13.          Withholding. The Company shall withhold, or cause to be withheld, Award Shares or other compensation otherwise vesting or issuable under this Award in satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations. The number of Award Shares which may be so withheld or surrendered shall be limited to the number of Award Shares which have a fair market value on the date of withholding no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory withholding rates in the Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income. To the extent that any Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax withholding obligations arise in connection with the Award prior to the applicable vesting date, the Administrator shall accelerate the payment of a portion of the Award sufficient to satisfy (but not in excess of) such tax withholding obligations and any tax withholding obligations associated with any such accelerated payment, and the Administrator may withhold such amounts in satisfaction of such withholding obligations.

14.          Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award Agreement, this Award Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and this Award Agreement, the Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent, and any provisions of this Award Agreement, the Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan that would cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements for an effective deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award Agreement, no amounts shall be paid to the Participant under this Award Agreement during the six (6)-month period following the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) to the extent that the Administrator determines that the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) at the time of such separation from service and that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Award Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without being subject to such additional taxes), the Company shall pay to the Participant in a lump-sum all amounts that would have otherwise been payable to the Participant during such six (6)-month period under this Award Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Award Agreement on the day and year first above written.

Exhibit A

Performance Goals

Performance Period: The performance period begins on [January 1, 2020] and ends on the earlier of (i) [December 31, 2022] or (ii) the date of consummation of a Change in Control (the “Performance Period”).

Performance Goals: The number of Award Shares which will be eligible for vesting and crediting to the Participant’s Deferral Account (the “Eligible Award Shares”), if any, shall be determined based upon the Company’s achievement during the Performance Period of cumulative book value total shareholder return, relative total shareholder return and absolute total shareholder return goals, each as further described and defined below.

The number of Eligible Award Shares shall be equal to the Target Shares multiplied by the sum of:

(i) the percentage corresponding to the Company’s achievement of bvTSR (as defined below) during the Performance Period, determined in accordance with the first table below, plus

(ii) the rTSR Modifier (which may be negative) based on the Company’s Relative TSR during the Performance Period, determined in accordance with the second table below;

provided, however, that if the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period is less than 0%, then the maximum number of Eligible Award Shares shall be 100% of the Target Shares.

If the actual performance results fall between two goals on a table, the percentage of Target Shares or the rTSR Modifier, as applicable, shall be determined based on a straight-line, mathematical interpolation between the applicable amounts. In no event shall the number of Eligible Award Shares exceed 250% of the number of Target Shares.  

For example, if the Company’s bvTSR during the Performance Period is 110% and the Company’s Relative TSR during the Performance Period is at the 62.5^th percentile, then the number of Eligible Award Shares would be 145% of the number of Target Shares (assuming that the Company’s TSR during the Performance Period is not negative).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Change in Control occurs and the Participant either (i) remains in continuous employment until immediately prior to such Change in Control or (ii) experienced a Termination of Service as an Employee prior to such Change in Control and the Award Shares are not subject to forfeiture in connection with such termination under Section 4(c) of this Award Agreement (including without limitation in connection with a Termination of Service by the Participant for Good Reason in accordance with the Participant’s employment agreement), then the Performance Period will end upon such Change in Control, and the number of Eligible Award Shares will be determined by reference to (i) bvTSR being deemed equal to 100% of the bvTSR Goal and (ii) the Company’s actual Relative TSR and actual TSR achieved during the shortened Performance Period.

For example, if a Change in Control occurs one year after the commencement date of a Performance Period, and assuming the Company’s Relative TSR for such then-shortened Performance Period is at the 37.5^th percentile, then for purposes of determining the number of Eligible Award Shares, bvTSR would be deemed equal to 100% of the bvTSR Goal and the number of Eligible Award Shares would be 75% of the number of Target Shares (assuming the Company’s TSR during such then-shortened Performance Period is not negative).

Vesting (Change in Control): If the Performance Period ends due to the occurrence of a Change in Control and:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, then any Eligible Award Shares that become eligible for vesting due to the Change in Control shall vest immediately prior to such Change in Control and shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account on the date of such Change in Control.

(ii) to the extent there are changes to applicable tax laws or regulations or interpretations thereof (including the enactment or promulgations of new tax laws, regulations, or tax accounting methodologies or changes in the applicability of existing tax laws, regulations, or tax accounting methodologies to the Company) on or subsequent to the first date of the Performance Period (collectively, “Tax Changes”) that result in recording, in accordance with GAAP, one or more one-time tax benefits or tax provisions which, all other factors being equal, have an aggregate net impact on GAAP Book Value Per Share as of a specified date of more than $0.10 per share, then GAAP Book Value Per Share for such specified date shall be deemed equal to GAAP Book Value Per Share calculated as of such specified date after reversing the aggregate net impact of such one-time tax benefits and tax provisions;

(iii) to the extent there are GAAP Changes and Tax Changes subsequent to the first date of the Performance Period that have an aggregate impact (as determined under clauses (i) and (ii) above), all other factors being equal, on GAAP Book Value Per Share as of a specified date of more than $0.10 per share, then GAAP Book Value Per Share for such specified date shall be deemed equal to GAAP Book Value Per Share calculated as of such specified date after reversing the aggregate net impact of such one-time cumulative effect adjustments to retained earnings and such one-time tax benefits and tax provisions; and

(iv) to the extent there are Acquisition-Related Accounting Items (defined below) recorded on or subsequent to the first date of the Performance Period that impact book value per share of Common Stock, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as of any specified date subsequent to the first date of the Performance Period, the GAAP Book Value Per Share for such specified date shall be deemed equal to GAAP Book Value Per Share calculated as of such specified date after reversing the net impact of such Acquisition-Related Accounting Items.

“Per Share Price” means, with respect to the Company and any Comparator Group Company, the average of the closing prices of the applicable company’s common stock during the sixty (60) consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the Valuation Date, adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of any cash dividends declared to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding shares of such company’s common stock with a record date during the calculation period; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating the Company’s Per Share Price in the event of a Change in Control, the Per Share Price shall be the price per share of Common Stock paid in connection with such Change in Control or, to the extent that the consideration in the Change in Control transaction is paid in stock of the acquiror or its affiliate, then, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator (including in connection with valuing any shares that are not publicly traded), Per Share Price shall mean the value of the consideration paid per share of Common Stock based on the average of the closing trading prices of a share of such acquiror stock on the principal exchange on which such shares are then traded for each trading day during the five consecutive trading days ending on and including the date on which a Change in Control occurs.

“Qualifying Termination” means the Participant’s Termination of Service as an Employee (i) due to the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement or (ii) upon or within 24 months following a Change in Control, either by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason.

(x) the Per Share Price as of the Valuation Date, plus

(y) the Per Share Price as of the Valuation Date multiplied by the Dividend Reinvestment Factor with respect to the Performance Period,

by,

(B) the Per Share Price as of the first day of the Performance Period, which, in the case of the Company is $[______]¹, and, in the case of a Comparator Group Company, is the amount set forth on Schedule I hereto under the heading “Initial Per Share Price”.
