Exhibit 10.6

FORM OF RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
PURSUANT TO THE
EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR INCENTIVE RESTRICTED SHARE PLAN
OF
AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL HEALTHCARE TRUST II, INC.

THIS RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made as __________,
201___, is by and between American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust II, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and ___________ (the “Participant”).
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted, and the
stockholders of the Company approved, the Employee and Director Incentive
Restricted Share Plan of American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust II, Inc. (as
such plan may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”);
WHEREAS, as a non-employee director of the Company, pursuant to Section 6.1 of
the Plan, upon the date of your initial election to the Board you were
automatically granted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per
share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below and will be automatically granted
additional shares of Common Stock on the date of each annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders after the date thereof that you remain a non-employee
director of the Company as set forth below; and
WHEREAS, such shares of Common Stock are subject to certain restrictions prior
to the vesting thereof as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:
1. Grant of Shares. Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the
Plan and this Agreement, as of each of (i) __________, 201____, the date of your
initial election to the Board (the “Initial Grant Date”), and (ii) the date of
each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders thereafter (each an “Annual
Grant Date”, and together with the Initial Grant Date, each a “Grant Date”),
pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan, you were or will be, as applicable,
automatically granted 1,333 shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable Common Stock (the “Shares”). To the extent required by
applicable law, the Participant will pay the Company the par value ($.01) for
each Share awarded to the Participant simultaneously with the execution of this
Agreement in cash or cash equivalents payable to the order of the Company.
Pursuant to the Plan and Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, the Shares are
subject to certain restrictions, which restrictions and possible risk of
forfeiture will expire in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and
Sections 2 and 3 hereof. While such restrictions are in effect, the Shares
subject to such restrictions will be referred to herein as “Restricted Shares”
and the period during which the Shares are subject to such restrictions will be
referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.”
2.    Restrictions on Transfer. The Participant will not sell, assign, transfer,
pledge, exchange, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted
Shares, except

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as set forth in the Plan or this Agreement. Any attempted sale, assignment,
transfer, pledge, exchange, encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition of
the Restricted Shares in violation of the Plan or this Agreement will be void
and of no effect and the Company will have the right to disregard the same on
its books and records and to issue “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer
agent.
3.    Vesting. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the
Restricted Shares will vest and cease to be Restricted Shares, and accordingly,
the restrictions contained in Sections 2 and 5 will no longer apply (but the
Shares will remain subject to Section 9) as follows:
(a)    Twenty percent (20%) upon each of the first, second, third, fourth and
fifth anniversaries of the applicable Grant Date (i.e., upon the anniversaries
of the Initial Grant Date with respect to the Restricted Shares granted upon the
Participant’s initial election to the Board and upon the anniversaries of each
applicable Annual Grant Date for any Restricted Shares granted to the
Participant on the date of an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders),
subject in each case to the Participant not incurring a Termination prior to
such vesting date.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 3(a), the Restricted Shares will become fully
vested and cease to be Restricted Shares on the effective date of the
consummation of a Change in Control (as defined on Appendix A), subject to the
Participant not incurring a Termination prior to such vesting date.
(c)    There will be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to
the applicable vesting dates and all vesting will occur only on the appropriate
vesting date.
4.    Forfeiture. If a Participant incurs a Termination for any reason, the
Participant will automatically forfeit any unvested Restricted Shares and the
Company will acquire such unvested Restricted Shares for the amount paid by the
Participant for such Restricted Shares (or, if no amount was paid by the
Participant for such Restricted Shares, then the Company will acquire such
Restricted Shares for no consideration).
5.    Rights as a Holder of Restricted Shares. From and after the Grant Date,
the Participant will have, with respect to the Restricted Shares, all of the
rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the
right to vote the Shares, to receive and retain all regular cash distributions
payable to holders of Shares of record on and after the Grant Date (although
such distributions will be treated, to the extent required by applicable law, as
additional compensation for tax purposes), and to exercise all other rights,
powers and privileges of a holder of Shares with respect to the Restricted
Shares, with the exception that: (i) to the extent the Company issues a
distribution in the form other than a cash distribution, including in the form
of Shares or other property, such distribution will be subject to the same
restrictions that are then applicable to the Restricted Shares under the Plan
and this Agreement and such restrictions will expire at the same time as the
restrictions on the Restricted Shares expire; and (ii) the Participant may not
sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of the Restricted Shares during the Restriction Period.

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.    Taxes; Section 83(b) Election. The Participant will be solely responsible
for all applicable foreign, Federal, state, local or other taxes with respect to
the Restricted Shares; provided, however, that at any time the Company is
required to withhold any such taxes, the Participant acknowledges that (i) no
later than the date on which any Restricted Shares will have become vested, the
Participant will pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Company regarding payment of, any Federal, state, local or other taxes of any
kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Shares which
will have become so vested; (ii) the Company will, to the extent permitted by
law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the
Participant any Federal, state or local or other taxes of any kind required by
law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Shares which will have become
so vested, including that the Company may, but will not be required to, sell a
number of Restricted Shares sufficient to cover applicable withholding taxes;
and (iii) in the event that the Participant does not satisfy (i) above on a
timely basis, the Company may, but will not be required to, pay such required
withholding and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, treat such amount as
a demand loan to the Participant at the maximum rate permitted by law, with such
loan, at the Company’s sole discretion and provided the Company so notifies the
Participant within thirty (30) days of the making of the loan, secured by the
Restricted Shares and any failure by the Participant to pay the loan upon demand
will entitle the Company to all of the rights at law of a creditor secured by
the Restricted Shares. The Company may hold as security any certificates
representing any Restricted Shares and, upon demand of the Company, the
Participant will deliver to the Company any certificates in his or her
possession representing the Restricted Shares together with a stock power duly
endorsed in blank. The Participant also acknowledges that it is his or her sole
responsibility, and not the Company’s, to file timely and properly any election
under Section 83(b) of the Code, and any corresponding provisions of state tax
laws, if the Participant wishes to utilize such election. Although the Company
makes no guarantee with respect to the tax treatment of the Restricted Shares,
the award of Restricted Shares pursuant to this Agreement is intended to be
exempt from Section 409A of the Code and will be limited, construed and
interpreted in accordance with such intent. With respect to any distributions
and other property issued in respect of the Shares, however, this Agreement is
intended to comply with, or to be exempt from, the applicable requirements of
Section 409A of the Code and will be limited, construed and interpreted in
accordance with such intent. In no event whatsoever will the Company or any of
its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may
be imposed on the Participant by Section 409A of the Code or any damages for
failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
7.    No Obligation to Continue Employment or Service. This Agreement is not an
agreement of employment or service. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor
the issuance of the Restricted Shares hereunder constitute an agreement by the
Company or any of its Affiliates to employ or retain, or to continue to employ
or retain, the Participant during the entire, or any portion of, the term of
this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any period during which any
Restricted Shares are outstanding, nor does it modify in any respect the Company
or its Affiliate’s right to terminate or modify the Participant’s service or
compensation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.    Legend. In the event that a certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares
is issued, the certificate representing the Restricted Shares will have endorsed
thereon the following legends:
(a)    “THE ANTICIPATION, ALIENATION, ATTACHMENT, SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT,
PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE OR CHARGE OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE
SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF THE EMPLOYEE AND
DIRECTOR INCENTIVE RESTRICTED SHARE PLAN OF AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL HEALTHCARE
TRUST II, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) (AS SUCH PLAN MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME,
THE “PLAN”) AND AN AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND THE
COMPANY DATED AS OF ______________, 201__. COPIES OF SUCH PLAN AND AGREEMENT ARE
ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.”
(b)    Any legend required to be placed thereon by applicable blue sky laws of
any state.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company be obligated to
issue a certificate representing the Restricted Shares prior to vesting as set
forth in Section 3 hereof.
9.    Securities Representations. The Shares are being issued to the Participant
and this Agreement is being made by the Company in reliance upon the following
express representations and warranties of the Participant.
The Participant acknowledges, represents and warrants that:
(a)    the Participant has been advised that the Participant may be an
“affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”), currently or at the time the Participant desires to sell
the Shares following the vesting of the Restricted Shares, and in this
connection the Company is relying in part on the Participant’s representations
set forth in this section.
(b)    If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144
of the Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless an exemption from any
applicable resale restrictions is available or the Company files an additional
registration statement (or a “re-offer prospectus”) with regard to such Shares.
(c)    The Company is under no obligation to register the Shares (or to file a
“re-offer prospectus”).
(d)    If the Participant is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144
of the Act, the Participant understands that the exemption from registration
under Rule 144 will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then
exists for the Common Stock, (ii) adequate information concerning the Company is
then available to the public, and (iii) other terms and

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

conditions of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom are complied with; and that
any sale of the Shares may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with
such terms and conditions.
10.    Power of Attorney. The Company, its successors and assigns, is hereby
appointed the attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, of the
Participant for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and
taking any action and executing any instruments which such attorney-in-fact may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment
as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Company, as
attorney-in-fact for the Participant, may in the name and stead of the
Participant, make and execute all conveyances, assignments and transfers of the
Restricted Shares provided for herein, and the Participant hereby ratifies and
confirms that which the Company, as said attorney-in-fact, will do by virtue
hereof. Nevertheless, the Participant will, if so requested by the Company,
execute and deliver to the Company all such instruments as may, in the judgment
of the Company, be advisable for this purpose.
11.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal legal representatives,
successors, trustees, administrators, distributees, devisees and legatees. The
Company may assign to, and require, any successor (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree in
writing to perform this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Participant may not assign this Agreement or any of the Participant’s rights,
interests or obligations hereunder.
(b)    This award of Restricted Shares will not affect in any way the right or
power of the Board or stockholders of the Company to make or authorize an
adjustment, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure or the
business of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company or
subsidiaries, any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference
stock ahead of or affecting the Restricted Shares, the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or part of its assets or
business or any other corporate act or proceeding.
(c)    The Participant agrees that the award of the Restricted Shares hereunder
is special incentive compensation and that it, any dividends paid thereon (even
if treated as compensation for tax purposes) will not be taken into account as
“salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any payment
under any pension, retirement or profit-sharing plan of the Company or any life
insurance, disability or other benefit plan of the Company.
(d)    No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will
be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought
to be enforced.
(e)    This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by
facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f)    The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance by
another party of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the right of
such party to require performance of that provision, and any waiver by any party
of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a
waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the
provision itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement.
(g)    The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and will in no way restrict or modify any of the
terms or provisions hereof.
(h)    All notices, consents, requests, approvals, instructions and other

of the Participant, at the address most recently on file with the Company.
(i)    This Agreement will be construed, interpreted and governed and the legal
relationships of the parties determined in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Maryland without reference to rules relating to conflicts of law.
(j)    If any provision of this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable,
such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions hereof,
and this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not
been included.
12.    Provisions of Plan Control. This Agreement is subject to all the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the
amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations
relating to the Plan as may be adopted thereunder and as may be in effect from
time to time. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan

conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Plan, the Plan will control, and this Agreement will be deemed to be modified
accordingly. Unless otherwise indicated, any capitalized term used but not
defined herein will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan. This
Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof (other than any other documents expressly contemplated
