Reason (as such terms are defined in Employee’s employment agreement), for
purposes of vesting of the Shares, Employee shall be treated as having one

the right to vote or consent to all matters that may be presented to the
stockholders [and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid on such

obtained from the Secretary of Ventas, Inc.
When the Shares have become vested, Employee shall have the right to have the
preceding legend removed from the certificate representing such vested Shares.
7.    Agreement Does Not Grant Employment Rights. The granting of Shares shall
not be construed as granting to Employee any right to employment by the Company.
The right of the Company to terminate Employee’s employment at any time, for any
reason, with or without cause, is specifically reserved.
8.    Section 83(b) Election Under the Code and Tax Withholding. If Employee

arrangements are necessary to enable the Company to withhold as required by law,
including without limitation the right to deduct from payments of any kind
otherwise due to Employee. Employee shall have the right to elect to satisfy, in
