Exhibit 10.3

SARA LEE CORPORATION

LONG-TERM RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

FISCAL YEARS 2005- 2007

Highlights

This booklet explains the plan provisions of the Sara Lee Corporation Long-Term Restricted Stock Unit (LTRSU) grant covering fiscal years 2005 through 2007 (“Service Period”) with the restricted stock units (“RSUs”) vesting one-third each year on August 31, 2005, August 31, 2006 and August 31, 2007, the “Vesting Dates.” The following pages provide detailed information relating to the grant of RSUs that you have received under the Plan.

The key features of this Plan are summarized below. In some countries other than the United States, variations in Plan design and rules may occur in order to comply with local laws and tax provisions.

Purpose

The LTRSU is a significant component of Sara Lee’s long-term compensation program. It enhances the competitiveness of Sara Lee’s total executive compensation package and facilitates the attraction and retention of highly qualified executives.

Restricted Stock Units

LTRSU awards are authorized under the Sara Lee Corporation 1998 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan (“Stock Plan”). LTRSU awards are initially granted as RSUs at the beginning of the Service Period. On each of the Vesting Dates, one-third of the RSUs that are earned will be converted to shares of Sara Lee common stock. Dividend equivalents that are payable on RSUs during the vesting periods are accrued on your behalf.

The release of RSUs on each of the Vesting Dates is contingent upon your continued active employment by the Corporation until the Vesting Dates.

SLC may substitute or offer alternative forms of incentive in the event it either determines that tax or legal regulations in some countries outside the United States provide more favorable treatment for these alternative forms of incentive or as a voluntary alternative to RSUs.

Dividend Equivalents

During the Service Period, dividend equivalents that are payable on the RSUs will be accrued on your behalf. These dividend equivalents are paid to you in cash after the RSUs have vested.

Award Grant Notice

Each Participant will receive a Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) specifying the number of RSUs that have been granted, and certain terms and conditions applicable to the grant. The Grant Notice should be retained by the Participant along with your other important legal documents. The Grant Notice will be distributed electronically through Sara Lee’s Desktop application in Insite. You must go into Desktop and actually accept this grant on-line and instructions will be provided.

Tax Consequences

United States

Under current United States tax law, a Participant receives no taxable income from the RSUs when initially granted, or from accrued dividend equivalents. The Vesting Date, the release date of the RSUs, is the date when the taxable event will occur, except to the extent a Participant paid in the U.S. and subject to U.S. taxation has elected to defer distribution of the shares until a later date (“Deferred Vesting Date”). The market value of SLC common stock on the Vesting Date or the Deferred Vesting Date, as the case may be, will determine the amount of taxable income. When the number of shares actually earned has been determined, the market value of the shares on the Vesting Date or the Deferred Vesting Date, as well as the proportionate dividend equivalents are considered income to the Participant. This amount is then subject to any applicable federal, state and local withholding. Amounts necessary to settle the tax-withholding obligation will be withheld from the cash and/or shares otherwise to be distributed to the Participant.

Countries other than the United States

Tax laws vary significantly from country to country, so advice should be obtained from appropriate counsel concerning the tax consequences of this grant in your country. In most cases, Participants incur no taxable income from RSUs when initially awarded, or on the accrued dividend equivalents, until the Vesting Date. When the shares are earned, both the market value of the shares on the Vesting Date as well as the dividends distributed are typically considered income. For those individuals residing outside the U.S. and not subject to U.S. tax laws, tax withholding for certain countries may be taken by SLC in Chicago. Each Participant is responsible for compliance with the relevant legal and tax regulations in his or her tax jurisdiction.

Impact on Other Benefits

Any shares or dividend equivalents ultimately earned under this LTRSU grant are not considered compensation for purposes of any retirement plan, severance arrangement or other benefit plans in which a Participant currently participates or may become eligible to participate in at a later date.

Stock Ownership Compliance

These RSUs will count toward the Corporation’s stock ownership guidelines during the Service Period.

Forfeiture

Notwithstanding anything contained in this document to the contrary, if you engage in any activity inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, including but not limited to: (1) competing, directly or indirectly (either as owner, employee or agent), with any of the businesses of the Company, (2) violating any Company policies, (3) soliciting any present or future employees or customers of the Company to terminate such employment or business relationship(s) with the Company, (4) disclosing or misusing any confidential information regarding the Company, or (5) participating in any activity not approved by the Board of Directors which could reasonably be foreseen as contributing to or resulting in a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) (such activities to be collectively referred to as “wrongful conduct”), then (i) this RSU award, to the extent it remains restricted, shall terminate automatically on the date on which you first engaged in such wrongful conduct and (ii) if the misconduct occurred within 6 months following a Vesting Date, you shall pay to the Company in cash any financial gain you realized from the vesting of the RSUs. For purposes of this section, financial gain shall equal, the difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock on the Vesting Date, multiplied by the number of RSUs pursuant to the vesting (without reduction for any shares of Common Stock surrendered or attested to) reduced by any taxes paid in countries other than the United States which taxes are not otherwise eligible for refund from the taxing authorities. By accepting this RSU grant, you consent to and authorize the Sara Lee Companies to deduct from any amounts payable by the Sara Lee Companies to you, any amounts you owe to the Company under this section. This right of set-off is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against you for the wrongful conduct.

The following guidelines apply to the FY05-07 LTRSU grant. Additional Administrative Guidelines may be adopted, as needed, during the Service Period for the efficient administration of the Plan.
