This Award Agreement (this ‘‘Restricted Share Agreement’’), dated as of [                         , 20    ] (the ‘‘Date of Grant’’), is made by and between Brookdale Senior Living Inc., a Delaware corporation (the ‘‘Company’’), and [                    ] (the ‘‘Participant’’).Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Brookdale Senior Living Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the ‘‘Plan’’). Where the context permits, references to the Company shall include any successor to the Company.

1.    Grant of Restricted Shares.    The Company hereby grants to the Participant [            ] shares of Common Stock (such shares, the ‘‘Restricted Shares’’), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Restricted Share Agreement and the Plan.

			
		2. 	Lapse of Restrictions.

(a)    Vesting.

(i)    General.    Subject to the provisions set forth below, the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2(b) hereof shall lapse as follows:

(A)    Up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Shares may vest on the first vesting date, [                         , 20    ], with the exact percentage vesting being determined by the degree to which the performance goal based on the Company’s Cash From Facility Operations (‘‘CFFO’’) for the preceding fiscal year, [20    ], has been met, in accordance with the schedule set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Any Restricted Shares scheduled to vest on the first vesting date which do not vest on the first vesting date shall be forfeited.

(B)    Up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Shares may vest on the second vesting date, [                         , 20    ], with the exact percentage vesting being determined by the degree to which the performance goal based on the Company’s CFFO for the preceding fiscal year, [20    ], has been met, in accordance with the schedule set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Any Restricted Shares scheduled to vest on the second vesting date which do not vest on the second vesting date shall be forfeited.

(C)    Up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Shares may vest on the third vesting date, [                         , 20    ], with the exact percentage vesting being determined by the degree to which the performance goal based on the Company’s CFFO for the preceding fiscal year, [20    ], has been met, in accordance with the schedule set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Any Restricted Shares scheduled to vest on the third vesting date which do not vest on the third vesting date shall be forfeited.

(D)    Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Shares shall vest on the fourth vesting date, [                         , 20    ], subject only to the continued employment of the Participant on such vesting date.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, vesting on any vesting date is subject to the continued employment of the Participant by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as of such vesting date; provided, however, that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the restrictions on transfer with respect to the Restricted Shares normally subject to vesting at the next vesting date shall immediately lapse and such Restricted Shares shall be fully vested effective upon the date of the Change in Control. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, any tranches of Restricted Shares that would otherwise be subject to any of the performance-vesting requirements set forth in this subsection 2(a)(i) will be converted into time-vesting only tranches, vesting on the same vesting dates initially established for each such tranche, subject only to the Participant’s continued employment by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and regardless of whether, or the extent to which, any such performance-vesting goals are achieved. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no fractional shares shall be issuable upon any vesting date.

1

(ii)     Following Certain Terminations of Employment.    Subject to the following paragraph, upon termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for any reason, any Restricted Shares as to which the restrictions on transferability described in this Section shall not already have lapsed shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant and transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company without consideration of any kind and neither the Participant nor any of the Participant’s successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives shall thereafter have any further rights or interests in such Restricted Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the contrary, in the event that the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) or a Subsidiary or Affiliate without Cause at any time following a Change in Control, then any Restricted Shares that are not vested as of the date of such termination shall immediately vest. In addition, in the event that the Participant’s employment is terminated by death or Disability (either before or after a Change in Control), the tranche of Restricted Shares normally subject to vesting at the next vesting date shall remain subject hereto until the vesting date that immediately follows such termination (subject to earlier vesting upon the occurrence of an intervening Change in Control), with any remaining Restricted Shares being forfeited upon the date of such termination. If the Restricted Shares scheduled to vest on the next vesting date are subject to performance-vesting under subsections 2(a)(i)(A), (B) or (C) above, upon such vesting date the same number of Restricted Shares shall vest as would have vested if the Participant had remained employed by the Company on such vesting date (if any), and the remaining Restricted Shares (if any) shall be forfeited. If the Restricted Shares scheduled to vest on the next vesting date are subject only to time-vesting (whether pursuant to subsection 2(a)(i)(D) above or as a result of a previous Change in Control), such Restricted Shares shall vest on the next vesting date.

(b)    Restrictions.    Until the restrictions on transfer of the Restricted Shares lapse as provided in Section 2(a) hereof, or as otherwise provided in the Plan, no transfer of the Restricted Shares or any of the Participant’s rights with respect to the Restricted Shares, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be permitted. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, upon any attempt to transfer Restricted Shares or any rights in respect of Restricted Shares before the lapse of such restrictions, such Restricted Shares, and all of the rights related thereto, shall be immediately forfeited by the Participant and transferred to, and reacquired by, the Company without consideration of any kind.

3.    Adjustments.    Pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan, in the event of a change in capitalization as described therein, the Administrator shall make such equitable changes or adjustments, as it deems necessary or appropriate, in its discretion, to the performance-vesting goals set forth in subsection 2(a)(i) and to the number and kind of securities or other property (including cash) issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Restricted Shares.

4.    Legend on Certificates.    The Participant agrees that any certificate issued for Restricted Shares (or, if applicable, any book entry statement issued for Restricted Shares) prior to the lapse of any outstanding restrictions relating thereto shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legend or legends required under applicable federal and state securities laws):

THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE (THE ‘‘RESTRICTIONS’’) AS SET FORTH IN THE BROOKDALE SENIOR LIVING INC. OMNIBUS STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND A RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND BROOKDALE SENIOR LIVING INC., COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. ANY ATTEMPT TO DISPOSE OF THESE SHARES IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING BY WAY OF SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND WITHOUT EFFECT AND SHALL RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF SUCH SHARES AS PROVIDED BY SUCH PLAN AND AGREEMENT.

2

5.    Certain Changes.    The Administrator may accelerate the date on which the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2(b) hereof shall lapse or otherwise adjust any of the terms of the Restricted Shares; provided that, subject to Section 5 of the Plan and Section 20 hereof, no action under this Section shall adversely affect the Participant’s rights hereunder.

6.    Notices.    All notices and other communications under this Restricted Share Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by facsimile or first class mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been duly given three days after mailing or 24 hours after transmission by facsimile to the respective parties, as follows: (i) if to the Company, at Brookdale Senior Living Inc., 111 Westwood Place, Suite 200, Brentwood, TN 37027, Facsimile: (615) 564-8204, Attn: General Counsel and (ii) if to the Participant, using the contact information on file with the Company. Either party hereto may change such party’s address for notices by notice duly given pursuant hereto.

7.    Securities Laws Requirements.    The Company shall not be obligated to transfer any Common Stock to the Participant free of the restrictive legend described in Section 4 hereof or of any other restrictive legend, if such transfer, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’) (or any other federal or state statutes having similar requirements as may be in effect at that time).

8.    No Obligation to Register.    The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Restricted Shares pursuant to the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws.

9.    Protections Against Violations of Agreement.    No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any of the Restricted Shares by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of this Restricted Share Agreement will be valid, and the Company will not transfer any of said Restricted Shares on its books nor will any of such Restricted Shares be entitled to vote, nor will any distributions be paid thereon, unless and until there has been full compliance with said provisions to the satisfaction of the Company. The foregoing restrictions are in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies, legal or equitable, available to enforce said provisions.

10.    Taxes.    The Participant shall pay to the Company promptly upon request, and in any event at the time the Participant recognizes taxable income with respect to the Restricted Shares (or, if the Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code in connection with such grant), an amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect to the Restricted Shares. The Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by making a payment to the Company in cash or, with the approval of the Administrator, in it sole discretion, by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld. Such shares of Common Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. The Participant shall promptly notify the Company of any election made pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of such election is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.

The Participant acknowledges that the tax laws and regulations applicable to the Restricted Shares and the disposition of the Restricted Shares following vesting are complex and subject to change.

11.    Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver.    The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Restricted Share Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

12.    Confidentiality.    The Participant acknowledges that during the period of his or her employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, he or she shall have access to the 

3

Company’s Confidential Information (as defined below). All books of account, records, systems, correspondence, documents, and any and all other data, in whatever form, concerning or containing any reference to the works and business of the Company or its affiliated companies shall belong to the Company and shall be given up to the Company whenever the Company requires the Participant to do so. The Participant agrees that the Participant shall not at any time during the term of the Participant’s employment or thereafter, without the Company’s prior written consent, disclose to any person (individual or entity) any information or any trade secrets, plans or other information or data, in whatever form (including, without limitation, (a) any financing strategies and practices, pricing information and methods, training and operational procedures, advertising, marketing, and sales information or methodologies or financial information and (b) any Proprietary Information (as defined below)), concerning the Company’s or any of its affiliated companies’ or customers’ practices, businesses, procedures, systems, plans or policies (collectively, ‘‘Confidential Information’’), nor shall the Participant utilize any such Confidential Information in any way or communicate with or contact any such customer other than in connection with the Participant’s employment by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. The Participant hereby confirms that all Confidential Information constitutes the Company’s exclusive property, and that all of the restrictions on the Participant’s activities contained in this Restricted Share Agreement and such other nondisclosure policies of the Company are required for the Company’s reasonable protection. Confidential Information shall not include any information that has otherwise been disclosed to the public not in violation of this Restricted Share Agreement. This confidentiality provision shall survive the termination of this Restricted Share Agreement and shall not be limited by any other confidentiality agreements entered into with the Company or any of its affiliates.

With respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a ‘‘trade secret’’ pursuant to applicable law, the restrictions described above shall remain in force for so long as the particular information remains a trade secret or for the two year period immediately following termination of Participant’s employment for any reason, whichever is longer. With respect to any Confidential Information that does not constitute a ‘‘trade secret’’ pursuant to applicable law, the restrictions described above shall remain in force during Participant’s employment and for the two year period immediately following termination of Participant’s employment for any reason.

The Participant agrees that the Participant shall promptly disclose to the Company in writing all information and inventions generated, conceived or first reduced to practice by him or her alone or in conjunction with others, during or after working hours, while in the employ of the Company (all of which is collectively referred to in this Restricted Share Agreement as ‘‘Proprietary Information’’); provided, however, that such Proprietary Information shall not include (a) any information that has otherwise been disclosed to the public not in violation of this Restricted Share Agreement and (b) general business knowledge and work skills of the Participant, even if developed or improved by the Participant while in the employ of the Company. All such Proprietary Information shall be the exclusive property of the Company and is hereby assigned by the Participant to the Company. The Participant’s obligation relative to the disclosure to the Company of such Proprietary Information anticipated in this Section shall continue beyond the Participant’s termination of employment and the Participant shall, at the Company’s expense, give the Company all assistance it reasonably requires to perfect, protect and use its right to the Proprietary Information.

For purposes of this Section, the ‘‘Company’’ refers to the Company and any incorporated or unincorporated affiliates of the Company, including any entity which becomes the Participant’s employer as a result of any reorganization or restructuring of the Company for any reason. The Company shall be entitled, in connection with its tax planning or other reasons, to terminate the Participant’s employment (which termination shall not be considered a termination for any purposes of this Restricted Share Agreement, any employment agreement or otherwise) in connection with an invitation from another affiliate of the Company to accept employment with such affiliate in which case the terms and conditions hereof shall apply to the Participant’s employment relationship with such entity mutatis mutandis.

13.    Governing Law.    This Restricted Share Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.

4

14.    Incorporation of Plan.    The Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Restricted Shares and this Restricted Share Agreement shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan.

15.    Amendments; Construction.    The Administrator may amend the terms of this Restricted Share Agreement prospectively or retroactively at any time, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of the Participant hereunder without his or her consent. To the extent the terms of Section 12 above conflict with any prior agreement between the parties related to such subject matter, the more restrictive provision shall be deemed to apply. Headings to Sections of this Restricted Share Agreement are intended for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Restricted Share Agreement and shall have no effect on the interpretation hereof.

16.    Survival of Terms.    This Restricted Share Agreement shall apply to and bind the Participant and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. The terms of Section 12 shall expressly survive the forfeiture of the Restricted Shares and this Restricted Share Agreement.

17.    Rights as a Stockholder.    The Participant shall have no right with respect to Restricted Shares to vote as a stockholder of the Company during the period in which such Restricted Shares remain subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (the ‘‘Restricted Period’’) or to receive dividends (or other distributions) which are declared with respect to Restricted Shares with a record date during the Restricted Period.

18.    Compliance with Stock Ownership Guidelines.    The Participant hereby agrees to comply with the Company’s Stock Ownership Guidelines (as amended from time to time, the ‘‘Guidelines’’), to the extent such Guidelines are applicable, or become applicable, to the Participant. The Participant further acknowledges that, if he or she is not in compliance with such Guidelines (if applicable), the Administrator may refrain from issuing additional equity awards to the Participant and/or elect to pay the Participant’s annual bonus in the form of vested or unvested Common Stock.

19.    Agreement Not a Contract for Services.    Neither the Plan, the granting of the Restricted Shares, this Restricted Share Agreement nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Participant has a right to continue to provide services as an officer, director, employee, consultant or advisor of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any period of time or at any specific rate of compensation.

20.    Authority of the Administrator.    The Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and this Restricted Share Agreement (including, without limitation, the authority to determine whether, and the extent to which, any performance-vesting goals have been achieved). Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall also have full authority to make equitable adjustments to any performance-vesting goals in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, in response to changes in applicable laws or regulations, or to account for items of gain, loss or expense determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principles. The determination of the Administrator as to any such matter(s) set forth in this Section 20 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

21.    Representations.    The Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s own tax advisors the Federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Restricted Share Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that he or she (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Restricted Share Agreement.

22.    Severability.    Should any provision of this Restricted Share Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Restricted Share Agreement, the balance of which shall 

5

continue to be binding upon the parties hereto with any such modification (if any) to become a part hereof and treated as though contained in this original Restricted Share Agreement. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Restricted Share Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity, subject or otherwise so as to be unenforceable, in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear, and such determination by such judicial body shall not affect the enforceability of such provision or provisions in any other jurisdiction.

23.    Acceptance.    The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Restricted Share Agreement. The Participant has read and understands the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Restricted Share Agreement, and accepts the Restricted Shares subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Restricted Share Agreement. The Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under this Restricted Share Agreement.

2007. In addition, with respect to those unvested equity awards outstanding as
of the Termination Date under the Restricted Stock Unit Agreements, Employee
shall continue vesting in such outstanding awards in accordance with the
applicable vesting schedule based on actual performance of the Company. Employee
acknowledges that the specific vesting and exercisability of his awards pursuant
to the Stock Option Agreements and/or Restricted Stock Unit Agreements, as of
the Termination Date, is reflected on the attached Schedule A, and that no
additional shares subject to such awards shall become vested after the
Termination Date. Except as provided herein, all options and restricted stock
units shall continue to be subject to all other terms and conditions of the
Stock Option Agreements and/or Restricted Stock Unit Agreements.

          (e) Benefits. The Employee shall continue to be eligible to
participate in the Company's group medical and dental plan until September 30,
2007, with the Employee responsible for any premiums for such coverage. Employee
(and any eligible dependents) shall be eligible for continued health benefits
pursuant to COBRA continuation coverage (as described in Section 4980B of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). The COBRA continuation coverage, if
elected by the Employee pursuant to the policies and procedures of the Company,
shall be the sole expense of the Employee. Employee's participation in all other
benefits and incidents of employment ceased on the Termination Date. Employee
ceased accruing employee benefits, including, but not limited to, vacation time
and paid time off, as of the Termination Date.

     2. Confidential Information. Employee shall continue to maintain the
confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of the Company
and shall continue to comply with the terms and conditions of Section 10 of the
Employee's Employment Agreement. Employee shall return all of the Company's
property and confidential and proprietary information in his possession to the
Company on the Effective Date of this Agreement.

     3. Payments. Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid
all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation, commissions and any and all other
benefits due to Employee after payments and benefits in section 1 above are
received.

     4. Release of Claims. Employee agrees that the foregoing consideration
represents settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to Employee by
the Company and its officers, managers, supervisors, agents and employees.
Employee, on his own behalf, and on behalf of his respective heirs, family
members, executors, agents, and assigns, hereby fully and forever releases the
Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, shareholders,
administrators,

<PAGE>

affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations, and
assigns, from, and agree not to sue concerning, any claim, duty, obligation or
cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or

omissions, acts or facts that have occurred up until and including the

to purchase, or actual purchase of shares of stock of the Company, including,
without limitation, any claims for fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary
duty, breach of duty under applicable state corporate law, and securities fraud
under any state or federal law;

          (c) any and all claims under the law of any jurisdiction including,
but not limited to, wrongful discharge of employment; constructive discharge
from employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination;
breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of a covenant of good faith
and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or
intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent or intentional
misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or
prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; libel;
slander; negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy;
false imprisonment; and conversion;

          (d) any and all claims for violation of any federal, state or
municipal statute, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Labor
Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, The Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Older Workers Benefit Protection
Act; the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practice Act;

          (e) any and all claims for violation of the federal, or any state,
constitution;

          (f) any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations
relating to employment or employment discrimination;

          (g) any claim for any loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of
any dispute over the non-withholding or other tax treatment of any of the
proceeds received by Employee as a result of this Agreement; and

          (h) any and all claims for attorneys' fees and costs.

     The Company and Employee agree that the release set forth in this section
shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as
to the matters released. This release does not extend to any obligations
incurred under this Agreement.

     Employee acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle
the Company immediately to recover and cease the severance benefits provided to
Employee under this Agreement.

<PAGE>

     5. Acknowledgement of Waiver of Claims Under ADEA. Employee acknowledges
that he is waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA") and that this waiver and
release is knowing and voluntary. Employee and the Company agree that this
waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under
ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that the
consideration given for this waiver and release Agreement is in addition to
anything of value to which Employee was already entitled. Employee further
acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing that:

          (a) he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this
Agreement;

          (b) he has up to twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this
Agreement;

          (c) he has seven (7) days following his execution of this Agreement to
revoke this Agreement;

          (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until the revocation period
has expired; and,

          (e) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Employee from
challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this
waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or
costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law.

     6. Unknown Claims. The Parties represent that they are not aware of any
claim by either of them other than the claims that are released by this
Agreement. Employee acknowledges that he has been advised by legal counsel and
is familiar with the principle that a general release does not extend to claims
which the releasor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
settlement with the releasee. Employee, being aware of this principle, agrees to
expressly waive any rights Employee may have to that effect, as well as under
any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

     7. No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Employee represents that he has no
lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his name, or on behalf of any other
person or entity, against the Company or any other person or entity referred to
herein. Employee also represents that he does not intend to bring any claims on
his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or
any other person or entity referred to herein.

     8. Application for Employment. Employee understands and agrees that, as a
condition of this Agreement, he shall not be entitled to any employment with the
Company, its subsidiaries, or any successor, and he hereby waives any right, or
alleged right, of employment or re-employment with the Company, its subsidiaries
or related companies, or any successor.

     9. Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that Employee's agreement to
keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential was a material
factor on which all parties relied in entering into this Agreement. Employee
hereto agrees to use his best efforts to maintain in confidence: (i) the
existence of this Agreement, (ii) the contents and terms of this Agreement,
(iii) the consideration for this Agreement, and (iv) any allegations relating to
the Company or its officers or employees with respect to Employee's employment
with the Company, except as otherwise

<PAGE>

provided for in this Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as
"Settlement Information"). Employee agrees to take every reasonable precaution
to prevent disclosure of any Settlement Information to third parties, and agrees
that there shall be no publicity, directly or indirectly, concerning any
Settlement Information, in each case, unless and until the Company first
discloses Settlement Information, at which time Employee shall be permitted to
disclose only the Settlement Information previously disclosed by the Company.
Until the Company makes public disclosure of the Settlement Information,
Employee agrees to take every precaution to disclose Settlement Information only
to those attorneys, accountants, governmental entities, and family members who
have a reasonable need to know of such Settlement Information. The Parties agree
that if Company proves that Employee breached this Confidentiality provision, it
shall be entitled to an award of its costs spent enforcing this provision,
including all reasonable attorneys' fees associated with the enforcement action,
without regard to whether the Company can establish actual damages from the
breach by Employee.

     10. No Cooperation. Employee agrees he shall not act in any manner that
might damage the business of the Company. Employee agrees that he shall not
counsel or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or
prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or
complaints by any third party against the Company and/or any officer, director,
employee, agent, representative, shareholder or attorney of the Company, unless
under a subpoena or other court order to do so. Employee further agrees both to
immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any court order, subpoena, or any
legal discovery device that seeks or might require the disclosure or production
of the existence or terms of this Agreement, and to furnish, within three (3)
business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or legal discovery device
to the Company.

     11. Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees to refrain from any defamation,
libel or slander of the Company or tortious interference with the contracts and
relationships of the Company. All inquiries by potential future employers of
Employee shall be directed to the Company's Human Resources Department. Upon
inquiry, the Company shall only state the following: Employee's last position
and dates of employment.

     12. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. Employee agrees to comply with the
provisions of Section 9 of the Employee's Employment Agreement.

     13. No Admission of Liability. The Parties understand and acknowledge that
this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of disputed claims. No
action taken by the Parties hereto, or either of them, either previously or in
connection with this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be: (a) an
admission of the truth or falsity of any claims heretofore made or (b) an
acknowledgment or admission by either party of any fault or liability whatsoever
to the other party or to any third party.

     14. No Knowledge of Wrongdoing. Employee represents that he has no
knowledge of any wrongdoing involving improper or false claims against a federal
or state governmental agency, or any other wrongdoing that involves Employee or
other present or former Company employees.

     15. Tax Consequences. The Company makes no representations or warranties
with respect to the tax consequences of the payment of any sums to Employee
under the terms of this Agreement. Employee agrees and understands that he is
responsible for payment, if any, of local, state and/or federal taxes on the
sums paid hereunder by the Company and any penalties or assessments thereon.

<PAGE>

Employee further agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any
claims, demands, deficiencies, penalties, assessments, executions, judgments, or
recoveries by any government agency against the Company for any amounts claimed
due on account of Employee's failure to pay federal or state taxes or damages
sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including reasonable
attorneys' fees.

     16. Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, expert fees,
attorneys' fees and other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement.

     17. Indemnification. Employee agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company from and against any and all loss, costs, damages or expenses,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees or expenses incurred by the
Company arising out of the breach of this Agreement by Employee, or from any
false representation made herein by Employee, or from any action or proceeding
which may be commenced, prosecuted or threatened by Employee or for Employee's
benefit, upon Employee's initiative, or with Employee's aid or approval,
contrary to the provisions of this Agreement. Employee further agrees that in
any such action or proceeding, this Agreement may be pled by the Company as a
complete defense, or may be asserted by way of counterclaim or cross-claim.

     18. Cooperation in Litigation. Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the
Company in any matters that have or may result in a legal claim against the
Company, and of which Employee may have knowledge as a result of Employee's
employment with the Company. This requires Employee, without limitation, to (1)
make himself available upon reasonable request to provide information and
assistance to the Company on such matters without additional compensation,
except for Employee's out-of-pocket costs, and (2) notify the Company promptly
of any requests to Employee for information related to any pending or potential
legal claim or litigation involving the Company, reviewing any such request with
a designated representative of the Company prior to disclosing any such
information, and permitting the representative of the Company to be present
during any communication of such information.

     19. Arbitration. The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising out
of, or relating to, the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any
of the matters herein released, shall be subject to binding arbitration in
Omaha, Nebraska before the American Arbitration Association under its National
Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The Parties agree that the
prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in
any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. The
Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded its
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR
RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR
JURY. This section shall not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief
(or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the
Parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to Employee's
obligations under this Agreement and the agreements incorporated herein by
reference.

     20. Authority. The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has
the authority to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all
who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Employee
represents and warrants that he has the capacity to act on his own behalf and on
behalf of all who might claim through him to bind them to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Each party warrants and represents that there are
no liens or

<PAGE>

claims of lien or assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of
the claims or causes of action released herein.

     21. No Representations. Each party represents that it has had the
opportunity to consult with an attorney, and has carefully read and understands
the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party has
relied upon any representations or statements made by the other party hereto
which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement.

     22. Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or
void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said
provision so long as the remaining provisions remain intelligible and continue
to reflect the original intent of the Parties.

     23. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and
understanding between the Company and Employee concerning the subject matter of
this Agreement and Employee's relationship with the Company, and supersedes and
replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties
concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee's relationship with
the Company, with the exception of the Restricted Stock Unit Agreements, and the
applicable Sections of the Employment Agreement.

     24. No Waiver. The failure of any party to insist upon the performance of
any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement, or the failure to prosecute
any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall not be
construed thereafter as a waiver of any such terms or conditions. This entire
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or
failure of performance had occurred.

     25. No Oral Modification. Any modification or amendment of this Agreement,
or additional obligation assumed by either party in connection with this
Agreement, shall be effective only if placed in writing and signed by both
Parties or by authorized representatives of each party.

     26. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and
delivered within the state of New York, and it shall be construed, interpreted,
governed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of New York,
without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that either party
seeks injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction for any claim relating
to the alleged misuse or misappropriation of trade secrets or confidential or
proprietary information, each party hereby consents to personal and exclusive
jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of the state of New York.

     27. Attorneys' Fees. In the event that either Party brings an action to
enforce or effect its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including the costs of mediation,
arbitration, litigation, court fees, plus reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred
in connection with such an action.

     28. Effective Date. This Agreement is effective after it has been signed by

Agreement (the "Effective Date"), unless revoked by Employee within seven (7)
days after the date the Agreement was signed by Employee.

counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall
constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the
undersigned.
