This Director Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of the date set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Grant Date”), between SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Person whose name is set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Participant”), is being entered into pursuant to the SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The meaning of capitalized terms used in this Agreement may be found in Section 5 of this Agreement.
The Company and the Participant hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units.
(a)Confirmation of Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby evidences and confirms, effective as of the Grant Date, its grant to the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units specified on Exhibit A hereto representing the right to receive an equivalent number of Shares. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to, and the terms of the Restricted Stock Units are subject to, the terms of the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between an express provision of this Agreement and an express provision of the Plan, the provision of the Plan shall govern.
(b)Participant Unit Account. The Company will establish a separate notional account for the Participant and will record in such account the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 2.Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(c)Service-Based Vesting Condition. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the earlier to occur of: (i) the day preceding the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company at which Directors are elected or (ii) the first anniversary of the Grant Date, in each case, subject to the Participant’s continued service as a Director or other Service Provider (as applicable) from the Grant Date through such vesting date. The period of time with respect to such vesting shall be referred to herein as the “Vesting Period.”
(d)Termination of Service.
(i)Voluntary Resignation or Removal without Cause. If the Participant’s termination of service occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Period due to voluntary resignation from the Board or involuntary removal without Cause, then a prorated portion of this Award shall become vested as of the date of such termination, determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to this Award by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the Grant Date until the date on which the Participant’s service terminates and the denominator of which shall be 365.

(ii)Death or Disability. If the Participant’s termination of service occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Period by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, then in either case, this Award shall become fully vested upon such termination of service.
(iii)Termination of Service other than due to Death, Disability, Resignation or Removal without Cause. If the Participant’s termination of service occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Period or prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control for any reason other than due to death, Disability, voluntary resignation or removal without Cause, then this Award shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant and cancelled by the Company unless otherwise determined by the Board in connection with such termination.
(iv)Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs prior to the Participant’s termination of service, the Vesting Period shall lapse and this Award shall become fully vested as of the effective date of the Change in Control.
Section 3.Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays any cash dividend or similar cash distribution on the Company Common Stock between the Grant Date and the Settlement Date, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units as of the record date for such distribution times (y) the per share amount of such dividend or similar cash distribution on Company Common Stock. If the Company makes any dividend or other distribution on the Company Common Stock in the form of Company Common Stock or other securities between the Grant Date and the Settlement Date, the Company will credit the Participant’s account with that number of additional Shares or other securities that would have been distributed with respect to that number of Shares underlying the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units as of the record date thereof, or, in its discretion, the Administrator may elect to credit the value (as determined by the Administrator) of such additional Shares or other securities to the Participant’s account in cash. Any such additional Shares, other securities or cash credited to the Participant’s account (the “Dividend Amount”) shall be subject to the same restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock Units and shall be paid to the Participant on the Settlement Date (as defined below).
Section 4.Settlement. Subject to vesting under Section 2 and any tax withholding obligations under Section 6(a), as soon as practicable (and within ten (10) business days) following the earliest to occur of (i) the end of the Vesting Period, (ii) termination of the Participant’s service as Director or other Service Provider with the Company due to death, Disability, voluntary resignation or removal without Cause, or (iii) to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code, a Change in Control (the “Settlement Date”), the Participant shall receive, without payment, one Share of Company Common Stock in respect of each such Restricted Stock Unit (each such share a “Settlement Share”) together with the Dividend Amount (if any).
