The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.

1.	Restricted Stock Award. The Company makes this Restricted Stock Award of [Number] Shares to Grantee. These Shares are subject to forfeiture and to limits on transferability until they vest, as provided in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement and in Article VII of the Plan.
2.	Vesting Dates: The Shares shall vest as follows:

Vesting Date	Number of Shares Vesting
[Over at least 5 years beginning one year from the Grant Date.]	[20% or less in each annual installment]

Transferability. The Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any Shares that have not vested, except in the event of the Grantee’s death, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

Termination of Service. If the Grantee terminates Service for any reason other than in connection with a Change in Control or the death or Disability of the Grantee, any Shares that have not vested as of the date of that termination shall be forfeited to the Company. If the Grantee’s Service terminates on account of the Grantee’s death or Disability, the Vesting Date for all Shares that have not vested or been forfeited shall be accelerated to the date of that termination of Service.

5.	Effect of Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control, the Vesting Date for all Shares that have not vested or been forfeited shall be accelerated to the date of the earliest event constituting a Change in Control.

6.	Stock Power. The Grantee agrees to execute a stock power with respect to each stock certificate reflecting the Shares in favor of the Company. The Shares shall not be issued by the Company until the required stock powers are delivered to the Company.

Certificates for Shares. The Company shall issue stock certificates in the name of the Grantee reflecting the Shares vesting on each Vesting Date in Section 2. The Company shall retain these certificates until the Shares represented thereby become vested. These certificates shall bear the following legend:

The common stock evidenced hereby is subject to the terms of an Award Agreement between Sound Financial, Inc. and [name] dated [grant date] made pursuant to the terms of the Sound Financial, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, copies of which are on file at the executive offices of Sound Financial, Inc., and may not be sold, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except in accordance with the terms of such Plan and Award Agreement.

Grantee’s Rights. As the owner of all Shares that have not vested, the Grantee shall be paid dividends by the Company with respect to those Shares at the same time as they are paid to other holders of the Company’s common stock. The Grantee may exercise all voting rights appurtenant to the Shares.

Delivery of Shares to Grantee. Upon the vesting of any Shares, the restrictions in Sections 3 and 4 shall terminate, and the Company shall deliver only to the Grantee (or, if applicable, the Grantee’s Beneficiary or estate) a certificate (without the legend referenced in Section 7) and the related stock power in respect of the vesting Shares. The Company’s obligation to deliver a stock certificate for vested Shares can be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation of investment intent from the Grantee (or the Grantee’s Beneficiary) in such form as the Committee requires. The Company shall not be required to deliver stock certificates for vested Shares prior to: (a) the listing of those Shares on the Nasdaq; or (b) the completion of any registration or qualification of those Shares required under applicable law.

10.

Adjustments in Shares. In the event of any recapitalization, stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, exchange of securities, stock dividend, special or recurring dividend or distribution, liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may adjust the number of Shares or class of securities of the Company covered by this Agreement. Any additional Shares or other securities received by the Grantee as a result of any such adjustment shall be subject to all restrictions and requirements applicable to Shares that have not vested. The Grantee agrees to execute any documents required by the Committee in connection with an adjustment under this Section 10.

11.

Tax Election. The Grantee understands that an election may be made under Section 83(b) of Code to accelerate the Grantee’s tax obligation with respect to receipt of the Shares from the Vesting Dates to the Grant Date by submitting an election to the Internal Revenue Service substantially in the form attached hereto.

12.

Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require the Grantee to pay to the Company the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such Shares, or in lieu thereof, to retain or sell without notice, a sufficient number of Shares to cover the minimum amount required to be withheld. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all dividends paid with respect to the Shares the amount of any taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such dividend payments.

13.

Plan and Committee Decisions are Controlling. This Agreement and the award of Shares to the Grantee are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan, which are controlling. Capitalized terms herein not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee respecting the Plan, this Agreement or the award of Shares shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantee, any Beneficiary of the Grantee or the legal representative thereof.

14.

Grantee’s Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Grantee’s service or employment as a director, officer or employee, or otherwise impose upon the Company or any of its Affiliates any obligation to employ or accept the services or employment of the Grantee.

15.

Amendment. The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company or modify or amend the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may not amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any provision of this Agreement if such action may adversely affect the Grantee without the Grantee’s written consent. To the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of the Shares or remove any other restrictions imposed on the Grantee with respect to the Shares, whenever the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate by reason of any unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, any Affiliate or their financial statements or any changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.
