SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING, INC.
2003 STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

     
Restricted Stock/ Nontransferability
  This grant is an award of Stock in the number of shares set forth on the cover sheet, at the purchase price set forth on the cover sheet, and subject to the vesting conditions described below (the “Restricted Stock”). The purchase price for the Restricted Stock is deemed paid by your services to the Company. To the extent not yet vested, your Restricted Stock may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Restricted Stock be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
 
   
Issuance and Vesting
  The Company will issue your Restricted Stock in your name as of the Grant Date. Your Restricted Stock is being issued in accordance with Section 3(b) of your Employment Agreement dated May 10, 2005 with the Company (the “Employment Agreement”). Capitalized terms used below in this “Issuance and Vesting” section but not defined in this Restricted Stock Agreement or the Plan will have the meanings given to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of May 2, 2005 by and among the Company, Greystone Communities, Inc. and you, among others (the “Purchase Agreement”).
 
   
 
  Your right to the Stock under this Restricted Stock grant becomes fully vested on the eighth anniversary of the Grant Date if you have been continuously providing services to the Company or a Subsidiary (either in your current employment capacity or in any subsequent full-time or part-time employment capacity) from the Grant Date until the eighth anniversary of the Grant Date; provided, however, that vesting shall accelerate under the following circumstances:
 
   
 
  If either (A) the 2005 fiscal year Pre-Tax Net Income of the Acquired Companies is greater than $5.7 million and their 2006 fiscal year Pre-Tax Net Income is greater than $9.5 million, or (B) the Acquired Companies’ cumulative Pre-Tax Net Income for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 is greater than $15.2 million, then 12,333 shares of Restricted Stock shall vest at the time such Pre-Tax Net Income amounts have been conclusively determined in accordance with Section 2.05(d) of the Purchase Agreement.
 
   
 
  If either (A) the 2007 fiscal year Pre-Tax Net Income of the Acquired Companies is greater than $11.3 million, or (B) the Acquired Companies’ cumulative Pre-Tax Net Income for fiscal

8446-1


 

     
 
  years 2005, 2006 and 2007 is greater than $26.5 million, then 6,167 shares of Restricted Stock shall vest at the time such Pre-Tax Net Income amounts have been conclusively determined in accordance with Section 2.05(d) of the Purchase Agreement.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are restricted from selling Company stock on a vesting date pursuant to the Company’s policy on insider trading, your shares that would have vested on that date will vest on the first date that is during a window period in which Company insiders are not restricted from selling Company stock.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the vesting schedule, to the extent not previously vested, your right to the Stock under this Agreement becomes 100% vested upon the earliest of (i) your termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary due to your death or disability, (ii) your termination of employment by the Company or a Subsidiary other than for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or (iii) termination of employment by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), in each case if you have been continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary from the Grant Date. For purposes of clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence, with respect to the period after the expiration of the Original Term (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and before the eighth anniversary of the Grant Date, your employment with the Company or a Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary without Cause if (a) your employment has not been terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and (b) the Company or a Subsidiary does not offer annually to extend the Term (as defined in the Employment Agreement) in one-year increments, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Employment Agreement, provided that such offered terms may differ from the terms of the Employment Agreement by providing for no less than (1) a minimum of 15 working hours per week and (2) a prorated salary which, when annualized based on full time status, would at least be equal to your highest Salary (as defined in the Employment Agreement) on an annualized basis during the Term of the Employment Agreement, including any extensions of such Employment Agreement.
 
   
 
  No additional shares of Stock will vest after you have ceased to be employed by the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason.
 
   
Forfeiture of Unvested Stock
  In the event that your employment with the Company or a

8446-1


 

     
 
  Subsidiary terminates, you shall forfeit all of the shares of Stock subject to this grant that have not yet vested.
 
   
Book Entry Restrictions
  The Restricted Stock will be issued in book entry form. The Company shall cause the transfer agent for the shares of Common Stock to make a book entry record showing ownership for the shares of Restricted Stock in your name subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You shall be issued an account statement acknowledging your ownership of the shares of Restricted Stock.
 
   
 
  The shares of Restricted Stock subject to restrictions hereunder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions relating to their release from restrictions or their cancellation:
 
As your interest in the Restricted Stock vests as described above, your vested Stock shall be released from restrictions and delivered to you, at your request.
 
Should you forfeit any unvested Restricted Stock held subject to restrictions hereunder, then such unvested Restricted Stock shall be cancelled without payment, and you shall have no further rights with respect to such shares.
     
 
  You authorize the Company to issue such instructions to the transfer agent as the Company may deem necessary or proper to comply with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. This paragraph shall be deemed to constitute the stock power contemplated by the Plan.
 
   
Withholding Taxes
  You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of the vesting of Stock acquired under this grant. In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the vesting of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such amounts from other payments due to you from the Company or any Affiliate.
 
   
Section 83(b) Election
  Under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the difference between the purchase price paid for the shares of Stock and their fair market value on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse will be reportable as ordinary income at that time. For this purpose, “forfeiture restrictions” include the Company’s Repurchase Right as to unvested Stock described above. You

8446-1


 

     
 
  may elect to be taxed at the time the shares in restricted form are acquired rather than when such shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date. You will have to make a tax payment to the extent the purchase price ($0.01 per share) is less than the fair market value of the shares on the Grant Date. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto. Failure to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by you (in the event the fair market value of the shares increases after the date of purchase) as the forfeiture restrictions lapse.
 
   
 
  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON YOUR BEHALF. YOU ARE RELYING SOLELY ON YOUR OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY 83(b) ELECTION.
 
   
Retention Rights
  This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company in any capacity. Subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, the Company reserves the right to terminate your service with the Company at any time and for any reason.
 
   
Shareholder Rights
  You shall have the right to vote the Restricted Stock and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to receive any dividends declared or paid on such stock. Any distributions you receive as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other similar transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the Restricted Stock and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto. The Company may in its sole discretion require any dividends paid on the Restricted Stock to be reinvested in shares of Stock, which the Company may in its sole discretion deem to be a part of the shares of Restricted Stock and subject to the same conditions and restrictions applicable thereto. Except as described in the Plan, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your stock certificate is issued.
 
   
Adjustments
  In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in the Stock, the number of shares covered by this grant may be

8446-1


 

     
 
  adjusted (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) pursuant to the Plan. Your Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms of the agreement of merger, liquidation or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.
 
   
Applicable Law
  This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
 
   
The Plan
  The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan, and have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
 
   
 
  This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this grant of Restricted Stock. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant are superseded.

     By signing the cover sheet of this Agreement, you agree to all of the terms and conditions described above and in the Plan.
