FORM OF COMPANY GUARANTY
FORM OF COMPANY GUARANTY
MASTER CONTINUING GUARANTY
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of credit and/or financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter from time to time made or granted to the subsidiaries of SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING, INC., a Delaware corporation, identified on Schedule A hereto, as amended or supplemented or deemed amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with Paragraph 19 below (each a Designated Borrower and collectively, the Designated Borrowers) by BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. and any other subsidiaries or affiliates of Bank of America Corporation and its successors and assigns as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (collectively the Lenders), the undersigned Guarantor (the Guarantor) hereby furnishes its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined) as follows:
1. Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of each Borrower to the Lenders arising in connection with the credit facilities governed by the Credit Agreement dated as of December 2, 2005 among the Guarantor as Borrower and the Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent, Serving Line Lender and L/C Issuer (as amended, restated or substituted from time to time, the Credit Agreement) including without limitation, indebtedness and liabilities arising under any rate swap transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity option, equity or equity index swap or option, bond option, interest rate option, spot or forward foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate swap transaction, currency option, credit swap or default transaction, or any other similar transaction (including an option to enter into any of the foregoing) (each, a Transaction and collectively, the Transactions) with any Borrower (including any renewals, extensions or modifications thereof) arising out of or relating to any and all Transactions, including, without limitation, under any master agreements thereby relating thereto or governing any such Transaction, entered into between the Lenders and any Borrower, (together with any related schedules, as amended, supplemented, superseded or replaced from time to time, each a Master Agreement and collectively, the Master Agreements), together with any related schedules thereto and any and all transactions and the related confirmations subject thereto or governed (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys fees and expenses incurred by the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof), and whether recovery upon such indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against the Guarantor or any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, Debtor Relief Laws), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the Guaranteed Obligations). The Lenderss books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.
2. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. The Guarantor represents and warrants that it is organized and resident in the United States of America. The Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Lenders) is imposed upon the Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, the Guarantor will pay to the Lenders, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders to receive the same net amount which the Lenders would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Guarantor. The Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. At the Lenderss option, all payments under this Guaranty shall be made in the United States. The obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or governmental authority affecting any Borrower, including but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of any Borrowers property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where any Borrower is located.
3. Rights of Lenders. The Guarantor consents and agrees that the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lenders in their discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Guarantor.
2
4. Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Lenders) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantors obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantors liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Lenders to proceed against any Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Indebtedness, or pursue any other remedy in the Lenders power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Lenders; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties.
The Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.
5. Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
6. Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
7. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or the Guarantor is made, or the Lenders exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the
3
proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lenders in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Lenders are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.
8. Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Borrowers owing to the Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to, any obligation of the Borrowers to the Guarantor as subrogee of the Lenders or resulting from the Guarantors performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by the Guarantor as trustee for the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.
9. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Guarantor or any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Lenders.
10. Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses and the allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the Lenders rights under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any workout or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Lenders in any proceeding any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.
11. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Lenders and the Guarantor. No failure by the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Lenders and the Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Lenders or any term or provision thereof.
4
12. Condition of Borrowers. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of such Borrower and any such other guarantor as the Guarantor requires, and that the Lenders have no duty, and the Guarantor is not relying on the Lenders at any time, to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower or any other guarantor (the guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

15. Indemnification and Survival. Without limitation on any other obligations of the Guarantor or remedies of the Lenders under this Guaranty, the Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Lenders from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses and the allocated cost and disbursements of internal legal counsel) that may be suffered or incurred by the Lenders in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their respective terms.

Service of process by the Lenders in connection with such action or proceeding shall be binding on the Guarantor if sent to the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor agrees that the Lenders may disclose to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all information in the Lenders possession concerning the Guarantor, this Guaranty and any security for this Guaranty pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; FINAL AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE GUARANTOR AND THE LENDERS EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS.

From time to time the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent may amend or supplement Schedule A hereto to add or delete Borrowers or to change other information thereon by a written instrument executed by the Lenders and the Guarantor. Any such amended Schedule A shall be deemed to replace or supplement, as applicable, the prior Schedule A without further action by any party hereto; provided that (i) Schedule A shall be automatically deemed amended to include any extensions of credit extended to any subsidiary of the Guarantor in reliance on this Guaranty, (ii) no amendment shall terminate this Guaranty as to Guaranteed Obligations which remain outstanding or to extensions of credit made pursuant to existing commitments which would have been Guaranteed Obligations but for such amendment (including, in each case, all renewals, compromises, extensions and modifications of such Guaranteed Obligations), (iii) no amendment shall limit the rights of the Lenders under paragraph 7 hereof, and (iv) no amendment shall in itself be deemed a commitment by the Lenders to extend any credit.
20. Special Agreement With Respect To Debt Restructuring. Notwithstanding any limitation on liability set forth in Paragraph 1 to the contrary, if the Guaranteed Obligations are made subject to a debt restructuring arrangement between a country and its creditors or creditors of persons or entities of such country, and as a result thereof the Lenders, as holders of such Guaranteed Obligations and other credit facilities to such country, persons or entities of such country, shall agree to provide any new credit facilities, the Guarantor shall fund (and be the beneficial owner of) that amount of such new credit facilities which is calculated by (i) dividing the face value of its Guaranteed Obligations by the aggregate amount of the Lenders credit facilities made part of the restructuring arrangement and (ii) multiplying the result by the amount of such new credit facilities. The Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver such
6
documents and take such actions as may be requested by the Lenders to effect the purposes of this paragraph. The Administrative Agent agrees to provide the Guarantor with copies of the relevant documents governing its participation in the restructuring arrangement and new credit facilities and shall provide the Guarantor with the basis on which it has calculated the Guarantors portion of such new credit facilities, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
