		This Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between
		Care Investment Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”),
		and you, the Grantee named above.
	 

	 
		This Agreement is effective as of the date of grant indicated above (the
		“Grant Date”), but is fully conditioned upon the closing of the
		Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock (as defined below)
		pursuant to that certain Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No.
		333-141634) (“IPO”).
	 

	 
		The Company wishes to award to you a number of shares of the
		Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
		Stock”), subject to certain restrictions as provided in this Agreement, in
		order to carry out the purposes of the 2007 Equity Plan (the “Plan”).

	 

	 
		Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
		adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and you hereby agree as
		follows:
	 

	 
		1.
	 

	 
		Award of Restricted Stock.
	 

	 
		The Company hereby grants to you, effective as of the Grant Date, an
		Award of Restricted Stock for that number of shares of Common Stock indicated
		above (the “Shares”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this
		Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
	 

	 
		2.
	 

	 
		Rights with Respect to the Shares.
	 

	 
		With respect to the Shares, you shall be entitled effective as of the
		Grant Date to exercise the rights of a shareholder of Common Stock of the
		Company, including the right to vote the Shares and the right, subject to
		Section 8(b) below, to receive dividends on the Shares, unless and until the
		Shares are forfeited under Section 4 below.  Notwithstanding the
		foregoing, you shall be subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 6.
		 Your rights with respect to the Shares shall remain forfeitable at all
		times prior to the date or dates on which such rights become vested under this
		Agreement (the “Restricted Period”).
	 

	 
		
 

	 

	 
		2
	 

	 
		

	 

	 
 
	 
		

	 

	 
		

	 

	 
		3.
	 

	 
		Scheduled Vesting.
	 

	 
		Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Shares shall
		become vested in the amount or amounts set forth herein if you remain in
		continuous service to the Company from the Grant Date until the respective date
		or dates described above in this Agreement.  Vesting or becoming vested
		entitles you to transfer your Shares.  Shares that vest under this
		Agreement are referred to as “Vested Shares.”
	 

	 
		4.
	 

	 
		Effect of Termination of Service.  
	 

	 
		Your rights to Shares that become Vested Shares shall not be subject to
		forfeiture.  Your rights to Shares that are not Vested Shares shall be
		immediately and irrevocably forfeited upon your termination of service as an
		Independent Director of the Company, including the right to vote such Shares
		and the right to receive cash dividends on such Shares as provided in Section
		8(b) of this Agreement.  However, in the event that your termination of
		service as an Independent Director occurs due to your death, Disability, or
		Approved Departure, any unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares.  
	 

	 
		“Disability” means a physical or mental impairment sufficient
		to make you unable to perform the services required of a member of the Board,
		as determined by the Board.
	 

	 
		“Approved Departure” means a termination of your service as a
		member of the Board, including resignation from the Board by you or your not
		standing for reelection to the Board, other than a termination resulting from
		(i) your willful and continued failure to substantially perform your duties as
		a member of the Board, (ii) an act of fraud or an intentional misrepresentation
		by you or (iii) your commission of a felony, in each such case, as determined
		by the Board in its sole discretion.
	 

	 
		5.
	 

	 
		Effect of a Change in Control.  
	 

	 
		If the Company experiences a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan)
		prior to the time that any outstanding Shares have vested, such unvested Shares
		shall immediately vest upon the effective date of the Change in Control.
	 

	 
		6.
	 

	 
		Transfer Restrictions.
	 

	 
		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Shares
		may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered by you
		(collectively, the “Transfer Restrictions”) during the period
		commencing on the Grant Date and terminating at the end of the Restricted
		Period.  The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to
		accelerate the time at which any or all of the Transfer Restrictions shall
		lapse with respect to any Shares, or to remove any or all such restrictions,
		whenever the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate by reason
		of any changes in circumstances occurring after the commencement of the
		Restricted Period.
	 

	 
		No transfer by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution of
		any Shares which vest by reason of your death shall be effective to bind the
		Company unless the Committee administering the Plan shall have been furnished
		with written notice of such transfer and a copy of
	 

	 
		
 

	 

	 
		3
	 

	 
		

	 

	 
 
	 
		

	 

	 
		

	 

	 
		the will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to
		establish the validity of the transfer.
	 

	 
		7.
	 

	 
		Issuance and Custody of Certificates.
	 

	 
		(a)
	 

	 
		The Company shall cause the Shares to be issued in your name, either by
		book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates,
		which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company.  The
		Shares shall be restricted from transfer during the Restricted Period and shall
		be subject to an appropriate stop-transfer order.  If any certificate is
		issued, the certificate shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the
		restrictions applicable to the Shares.
	 

	 
		(b)
	 

	 
		If any certificate is issued, you shall be required to execute and
		deliver to the Company a stock power or stock powers relating to the Shares.
	 

	 
		(c)
	 

	 
		Upon vesting, the Company shall promptly cause your Vested Shares (less
		any Shares that may have been withheld to pay taxes) to be delivered to you,
		free of the restrictions and/or legend described in Section 7(a) hereof, either
		by book-entry registration or in the form of a certificate or certificates,
		registered in your name or in the names of your legal representatives,
		beneficiaries or heirs, as applicable.
	 

	 
		8.
	 

	 
		Distributions and Adjustments.
	 

	 
		(a)
	 

	 
		If any Shares vest subsequent to any change in the number or character of
		the Common Stock of the Company without additional consideration paid to the
		Company (through any stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization,
		stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
		split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or
		otherwise), you shall then receive upon such vesting the number and type of
		securities or other consideration which you would have received if such Shares
		had vested prior to the event changing the number or character of the
		outstanding Common Stock.
	 

	 
		(b)
	 

	 
		Any dividends declared by the Company on Shares of Common Stock shall be
		paid to any Shares of Restricted Stock as and when such dividends are paid to
		holders of Common Stock, and shall not be accumulated by the Company during any
		Restricted Period.
	 

	 
		9.
	 

	 
		Taxes.
	 

	 
		(a)
	 

	 
		You acknowledge that you will consult with your personal tax advisor
		regarding the federal, state and local tax consequences of the grant of the
		Shares, payment of dividends on the Shares, the vesting of the Shares and any
		other matters related to this Agreement.  You are relying solely on your
		advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of
		its agents.  You understand that you are responsible for your own tax
		liability that may arise as a result of this grant of the Shares or any other
		matters related to this Agreement.  You understand that Section 83 of the
		Code treats as taxable ordinary income the fair market value of the Shares as
		of the date the Shares vest hereunder.  Alternatively, you understand that
		you may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are granted rather than when
		the Shares vest hereunder by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code
		with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the Grant Date.
	 

	 
		
 

	 

	 
		4
	 

	 
		

	 

	 
 
	 
		

	 

	 
		

	 

	 
		(b)
	 

	 
		In order to comply with all applicable federal, state or local income tax
		laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate
		to ensure that all income and payroll taxes, which are your sole and absolute
		responsibility, are withheld or collected from you at the minimum required
		withholding rate.
	 

	 
		(c)
	 

	 
		In accordance with the terms of the Plan, and such rules as may be
		adopted by the Committee administering the Plan, you may elect to satisfy any
		applicable tax withholding obligations arising from the receipt of, or the
		lapse of restrictions relating to, the Shares (including property attributable
		to the Shares described in Section 8(b) above) by:
	 

	 
		(i)
	 

	 
		delivering cash (including check, draft, money order or wire transfer
		made payable to the order of the Company),
	 

	 
		(ii)
	 

	 
		having the Company withhold a portion of the Vested Shares having a Fair
		Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes, or
	 

	 
		(iii)
	 

	 
		delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market
		Value equal to the amount of such taxes.  The Company will not deliver any
		fractional Share but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such
		fractional Share.  Your election must be made on or before the date that
		the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.
	 

	 
		10.
	 

	 
		General Provisions.
	 

	 
		(a)
	 

	 
		Interpretations.  This Agreement is subject in all respects
		to the terms of the Plan.  A copy of the Plan is available upon your
		request.  Terms used herein which are defined in the Plan shall have the
		respective meanings given to such terms in the Plan, unless otherwise defined
		herein.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent
		with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.  Any
		question of administration or interpretation arising under this Agreement shall
		be determined by the Committee administering the Plan, and such determination
		shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties in interest.
	 

	 
		(b)
	 

	 
		No Right to Service or Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement
		or the Plan shall be construed as giving you the right to be retained as a
		director or employee of the Company, a subsidiary of the Company or the
		Manager.  In addition, the Company, a subsidiary of the Company or the
		Manager, as applicable, may at any time terminate your service free from any
		liability or any claim under this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly
		provided in this Agreement.
	 

	 
		(c)
	 

	 
		Securities Matters.  The Company shall not be required to
		deliver any Shares until the requirements of any federal or state securities or
		other laws, rules or regulations (including the rules of any securities
		exchange) as may be determined by the Company to be applicable are satisfied.
	 

	 
		(d)
	 

	 
		Headings.  Headings are given to the sections and subsections
		of this Agreement solely as a convenience to facilitate reference.  Such
		headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the
		construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

		(e)
	 

	 
		Saving Clause.  If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall
		be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no
		manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
	 

	 
		(f)
	 

	 
		Section 409A.  Shares of Restricted Stock are not subject to
		Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision
		of the Plan or this Agreement, if any provision of this Award Agreement
		contravenes Section 409A or could cause you to incur any tax, interest or
		penalties under Section 409A, the Board of Directors or the Committee, as
		applicable, may, in its sole discretion, and without your consent, modify such
		provision to (i) comply with, or avoid being subject to, Section 409A, or to
		avoid the incurrence of any taxes, interest and penalties under Section 409A,
		and/or (ii) maintain to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and
		economic benefit to you of the applicable provision without materially
		increasing the cost to the Company or contravening the provisions of Section
		409A.  This Section 10(f) does not create an obligation on the part of the
		Company to modify the Plan or this Award Agreement and does not guarantee that
		the Shares of Restricted Stock will not be subject to taxes, interest and
		penalties under Section 409A.
	 

	 
		(g)
	 

	 
		Governing Law.  The internal law, and not the law of
		conflicts, of the State of Maryland will govern all questions concerning the
		validity, construction and effect of this Agreement.
