STORE CAPITAL CORPORATION
2012 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective , 2014 by and between STORE Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and (the “Participant” or “you”).

WHEREAS, the Company sponsors and maintains the STORE Capital Corporation 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, the Participant, as an Eligible Person, has been selected to receive a grant of Restricted Stock under the Plan upon the date (the “Grant Date”) on which an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement occurs (the “IPO”); and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. General. This Agreement and the Restricted Stock granted hereunder are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without further definition shall have the same meanings given to such terms in the Plan.

Section 2. Grant of Restricted Stock. The Company hereby awards to the Participant, as of the Grant Date, shares of Restricted Stock corresponding to shares of the Company common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Restricted Shares”).

Section 3. Vesting. The Restricted Shares awards shall vest on the earlier of (i) the anniversary of the Grant Date and (ii) the date on which your first term as a director ends. All Restricted Shares shall vest immediately upon the Participant’s death or Disability. If your service is terminated prior to the vesting date of your Restricted Shares other than by reason of your death or Disability, your Restricted Shares shall be forfeited in accordance with the Plan.

Section 4. Taxes Generally. Based on current tax laws, you will not be taxed on your Restricted Shares until they vest. At the time of vesting, you will be taxed on the Fair Market Value of the vested Restricted Shares unless you have an 83(b) election, as described below. The Fair Market Value will be based on the Company’s board of director’s (the “Board”) good faith determination which shall include consideration of the most recent equity transaction of the Company or its parent or such other reasonable valuation method as determined by the Board or as provided in the Plan.

Participant acknowledges and accepts that the award of Restricted Shares grants hereunder may result in application of other taxes. Participant understands he or she should seek tax advice regarding this award and any shares issuable hereunder.

Section 5. Section 83(b) Election. You may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) to include in your gross income in the year of this Award the amount specified in Section 83(b) of the Code. If you make such an election, you must notify the Company in writing within 10 days after filing the notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF.

Subject to your obligation to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy all Restricted Withholding if you make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, you hereby acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for determining your tax obligations as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6. Issuance of Shares and Taxes. The Restricted Shares will be issued and held in escrow by the Secretary of the Company until such time as the Restricted Shares vest or are forfeited. Upon the vesting of such Restricted Shares and the satisfaction of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue unrestricted shares to Participant. As the Participant, you shall be liable for any and all taxes arising from the vesting of Restricted Stock.

Section 7. Rights While Shares Are Restricted. While your Restricted Shares remain restricted, you will be entitled to any dividends or dividend requirements paid on the Restricted Shares and any voting rights.

Section 8. Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Grants. Until the date your Restricted Shares become vested, you may not assign or otherwise transfer the Restricted Shares except as provided in the Plan. Once your Restricted Shares vest, you may not be able to immediately sell your shares. Any inability to sell or transfer the Restricted Shares will not relieve you of the obligation to pay any required taxes at the time of vesting (see discussion above under Section 4, 5 and 6 above).

Section 9. Miscellaneous Provisions.
