This Stock Bonus Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), made as of the 9th day of November 2015 by and between Green Brick Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Jed Dolson (the “Participant”), evidences the grant by the Company of an Award of Common Stock to the Participant and the Participant’s acceptance of the Award in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Unless otherwise provided herein, all capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan. The Company and the Participant agree as follows:
WHEREAS, on October 27, 2014, the Company and the Participant entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Participant was awarded a one-time special bonus equal to $1,250,000 (the “Special Bonus”), which vests in four substantially equal installments beginning on October 27, 2014 and on each of the first three anniversaries thereof;
WHEREAS, Section 2(c)(iii) of the Employment Agreement provides that the Special Bonus shall be payable in cash or shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted to the Committee in its charter, the Committee has considered the allocation of the Special Bonus and deems it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that the installment of the Special Bonus that vested on October 27, 2015 (the “2015 Installment”) shall be payable in cash and in a number of shares of Common Stock as set forth herein.
1.Basis for Award. This Stock Bonus Award (as defined below) is made under Section 10 of the Plan for services rendered to the Company by the Participant.

3.Vesting. The Stock Bonus Award is 100% vested and non-forfeitable.
4.Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The transfer of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed at the time of such transfer.
5.Tax Withholding.

6.Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Stock Bonus Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.
