EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC.
2024 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
FORM OF RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
Restricted Share Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of the [ ] day of [ ], 20[ ] (the “Award Date”), by and between Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and ____________________ (the “Grantee”).
WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto by the Plan);
WHEREAS, under the Plan the Company may grant awards to its employees, directors and other persons who provide services to the Company;
WHEREAS, the Grantee is an Eligible Person under the terms of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Plan, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant shares of Common Stock to the Grantee subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Grant of Shares.
The Company hereby grants the Grantee ___________ shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), subject to the following terms and conditions and subject to the provisions of the Plan (the “Award”). The Plan is hereby incorporated herein by reference as though set forth herein in its entirety. The Grantee hereby accepts the Shares on such terms and conditions.
2. Vesting and Forfeiture.
Grantee’s interest in the Shares will vest and become nonforfeitable as follows:

__________ Shares | [●]
__________ Shares | [●]
__________ Shares | [●]

Except as set forth in this Section 2, if the Grantee has a Termination of Service for any reason before his or her interest in all of the Shares has become vested and nonforfeitable, then Grantee shall

forfeit his or her right to receive all such Shares which have not become so vested and nonforfeitable before the date of his or her Termination of Service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shares shall automatically vest in the event of a Change in Control occurring prior to a Termination of Service or in the event that the Grantee has a Termination of Service by reason of death or Disability.
3. Withholding Taxes.
The Grantee acknowledges that he or she generally will be required to recognize income for federal, state and/or local income tax purposes upon the vesting or grant of the Shares, and that such income generally will be subject to withholding of tax by the Company. To the extent that such income is subject to tax withholding by the Company or its Affiliates, no later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to the Award, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its Affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. The Grantee may choose to make payment of such withholding amount by (a) providing a cash payment in the form of a personal check or transfer of funds by wire payable to the Company, thereby receiving the total number of vested Shares, (b) a reduction in vested Shares having a Fair Market Value equivalent to the applicable withholding amount calculated by the Company at the close of business on the date on which such Shares are vested, thereby resulting in a net amount of Shares vested to the Grantee, or (c) a combination of a reduction in vested Shares having a Fair Market Value equivalent to the amount calculated by the Company at the close of business the date on which such Shares are vested plus any remaining withholding amount in a cash payment in the form of a personal check or transfer of funds by wire payable to the Company that satisfies the withholding obligations of the Grantee. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.
4. Voting Rights; Dividends; Capital Changes.
The Grantee shall have the full power to vote all of the Shares (including any unvested Shares) from time to time after the Award Date, and shall be entitled to receive all dividends declared upon any of the Shares (including any unvested Shares) from time to time after the Award Date (net of all applicable withholding taxes). All shares of capital stock or other securities issued with respect to any of the Shares or in substitution thereof, whether by the Company or by another issuer, shall be subject to all of the

terms of this Agreement and may be forfeited to the Company under the same circumstances as the Shares with respect to, or in substitution for, which they were issued.
5. No Rights to Employment.
Neither this Agreement nor the Plan shall confer upon the Grantee any rights of employment with the Company, including, without limitation, any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or shall affect the right of the Company to terminate the employment of the Grantee at any time, with or without cause.
6. Compliance with Law.
This Agreement, the Award and the obligation of the Company to grant and/or deliver Shares hereunder shall be subject in all respects to (a) all applicable federal, state and/or local laws, rules and regulations and (b) any registration, qualification, approval or other requirement imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Committee, in its discretion, determines to be necessary or applicable. If at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any national securities exchange or under any state or Federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable, then the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificates representing the Shares to the Grantee or any other person pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.
7. Miscellaneous.

This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

(b) The Committee may make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of this Agreement as it deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the

foregoing, the Committee may interpret the Plan and this Agreement, with such interpretations to be conclusive and binding on all persons and otherwise accorded the maximum deference permitted by law, and take any other actions and make any other determinations or decisions that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Plan, this Agreement or the administration or interpretation thereof. In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to interpretation of the Plan or this Agreement or of any rule, regulation or procedure, or as to any question, right or obligation arising from or related to the Plan or this Agreement, the decision of the Committee, shall be final and binding upon all persons.

Such addresses may be changed at any time by written notice to the other party given in accordance with this paragraph.
(d) The failure of the Grantee or the Company to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or to assert any right the Grantee or the Company, respectively, may have under this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no amendment or modification hereof shall be valid unless it shall be in writing and signed by all parties hereto.

(j) Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent required by (i) applicable law, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, (ii) the Company’s Compensation Recovery Policy, effective October 2, 2023, as may be amended and restated from time to time, and/or (iii) any other policy that may be adopted by the Company, the Shares paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to clawback to the extent necessary to comply with such law(s) and/or policy, which clawback may include forfeiture of the Shares and/or repayment of amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement.
