 DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 Directors Stock Option Terms and Conditions

 (Nonqualified) 
  
 1. Option Price. The price to be paid for each share of common stock of the Company, $.001 par value (each, a “Share”), issued upon exercise of the whole
or any part of this Option, is the Option Price per Share set forth on the stock option certificate to which these terms and conditions have been attached (the “Certificate”). 
  
 2. Exercise Schedule. This Option may be exercised for the Number of Shares set forth on the Certificate as follows: for so long as
the original Optionholder shall serve as a Director of the Company on the vesting dates specified in the Certificate, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as set forth in the Certificate, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Option may not be exercised as to any Shares after the Expiration Date set forth on the Certificate or after any earlier termination of the Option in accordance with this Agreement. 
  
 3. Method and Terms of Exercise. 
  
 (a) Notice of Exercise. To exercise this Option, the Optionholder shall
deliver written notice of exercise to the Treasurer of the Company specifying the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised accompanied by payment of the Option Price for such Shares. 
  
 (b) Payment. Payment shall be made by (i) cash; (ii) certified check, (iii)
subject to Section 3(e) hereof, by delivery and assignment to the Company of Shares previously owned by Optionholder for one year or more and having a value equal to the Option price; (iv) if permitted by applicable law, through the delivery of an
assignment to the Company of a sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale of unrestricted Shares acquired upon exercise to pay for all of the Shares so acquired and any tax withholding obligation resulting from such exercise, and an
authorization to the broker or selling agent to pay that amount to the Corporation; or (v) by a combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). The value of the Company stock for purposes of the foregoing clause (iii) shall be its fair market value as of
the date the Option is exercised, as determined in accordance with procedures to be established by the Board. Optionholder’s election to request payment in any manner other than that described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be made in
writing on or before the applicable exercise date and shall be irrevocable by the Optionholder, unless any such method of exercise would result in a loss of exemption under or violate Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), or any successor provision, as applicable to the Company at the time (“Rule 16b-3”). 
  
 (c) Delivery of Shares. Promptly following notice of exercise and payment, the Company will deliver to the Optionholder a certificate representing the
number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. 
  
 (d) Compliance and Registration. If said Shares are not at that time effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Optionholder shall include with such notice a letter, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company, confirming that the Shares are being purchased for the Optionholder’s own account for investment and not with a view to distribution. The issuance or delivery of any Shares hereunder may be postponed by the Board for such period as may
be required to comply with any applicable requirements under the Federal securities laws, any applicable listing requirements of NASDAQ or any national securities exchange or any requirements under any law or regulation applicable to the issuance or
delivery of such Shares. The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any such Shares if the issuance or delivery thereof would constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any applicable regulation of any governmental
authority, NASDAQ or any national securities exchange; but the Company shall exercise its reasonable efforts to cause the Shares that are the subject of the Option to be effectively registered on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, within nine months after the date when Company has first registered Shares on Form S-1 under said Securities Act, and for so long as the Company shall continue to be registered under the Exchange Act, the Company shall exercise its
reasonable efforts to keep such registration in effect. 
  
 (e)
Payment with Shares — Rule 16b-3. Any election made by the Optionholder, if then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to make payment of any portion of the Option price by delivery of Shares shall be subject to any then-applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3 and other applicable rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. 
  

 -2- 

 4. Rights as a Stockholder or Director. The Optionholder shall not have any rights in respect of Shares to which
the Option shall not have been exercised and payment made as provided above. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create any obligation on the part of the Board of Directors or standing Committee thereof to nominate Optionholder as a Director for
reelection by the Company’s stockholders, nor confer upon the Optionholder any right to remain a member of the Board of Directors for any period of time, or at any particular rate of compensation. 
  
 5. Stock Dividends; Stock Splits; Recapitalization. In the event of a stock dividend,
stock split or combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capitalization, or other distribution with respect to holders of the Company’s common stock other than normal cash dividends, automatic adjustment
shall be made in the number and kind of shares as to which the then unexercised portion of the Option shall be exercisable, to the end that the proportionate interest of the Optionholder shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event.
Such adjustment shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option and with a corresponding adjustment in the Option price per Share. 
  
 6. Merger; Sale of Assets; Dissolution. In the event of a change of the Company’s common stock resulting from a merger or
similar reorganization as to which the Company is the surviving corporation, or the formation of a holding company, the number and kind of shares which thereafter may be optioned and sold under the Plan and the number and kind of shares then subject
to options issued hereunder or unexercised portions thereof and the price per share thereof shall be appropriately adjusted to the end that the proportionate interest of the option holder shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event
and not increased. If the Company shall be a party to a merger or a similar reorganization after which the Company will not survive, or if there will be a sale of substantially all the common stock of the Company or a sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, then to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3, the options under this Plan automatically shall be terminated, assumed by the successor corporation or repurchased by the Company or its successor to the same extent, and
on the same terms, as are approved for options for the Company’s Common Stock issued under the Company’s 1996 Management Stock Option Plan, as amended, or the then-existing successor plan thereto, and otherwise will terminate upon such
merger, reorganization or sale. Despite the foregoing, no such adjustment shall be made which would, within the meaning of any applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, constitute a modification, extension or renewal of
the Option or a grant of additional benefits to the Optionholder. 
  
 7. Option
Not Transferable. This Option is not transferable by the Optionholder otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable, during the Optionholder’s lifetime, only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing (but if Optionholder then is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, only to the extent consistent with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or other rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act), this Option may be transferred pursuant to an
order that would constitute a qualified domestic relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder. 
  
 8. Exercise of Option After Death or Disability; Termination of Board Membership. If this Option is unexpired and in effect on the
date of Optionholder’s death or disability, the expiration of this Option, if within one year of the date such event occurs, shall be extended for one year from the date of the Optionholder’s death or disability, but only to the extent
that the Option shall have been vested in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. If Optionholder’s Company Board membership terminates for any reason, the vested portion of the Option shall remain in effect for its stated term,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the unvested portion of this Option immediately shall terminate and not be exercisable. 
  
 9. Administration. The Option is issued and this Agreement has been made pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 1996 Directors
Stock Option Plan, as amended. The Option and this Agreement shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) pursuant to the Plan. The Board shall have full power to construe and interpret the Option, this
Agreement (which includes the Certificate and these Directors Stock Option Terms and Conditions) and the Plan, and to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations for its and their administration. Any decisions of the Board made with respect
to any of the foregoing shall be final and binding on the Company, the Optionholder and all other persons. 
  
 10. Option Nonqualified. The Option shall be a nonstatutory option which is not intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. 
  

 -3- 

 11. Surrender and Notation of Option. If and when the Option is exercised in its entirety, this Agreement and the
Certificate shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation. If and as the Option shall be exercised in part, or any change or adjustment shall be made to the Option as contemplated under this Agreement, this Agreement and the Certificate shall
be delivered by the Optionholder to the Company for the purpose of making appropriate notation thereon, or of otherwise reflecting the partial exercise or the change or adjustment hereto. 
  

 -4-Change In Control Agreement

 Exhibit 10.1 
  
 CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT  
  
 This CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT is entered into this 19th day of October, 2004, by and between Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and
                                        
                                     (the “Executive”).

  
 The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that Executive be encouraged to remain with the Company and continue to devote full attention to the Company’s business notwithstanding the possibility, threat
or occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) involving the Company. The Company believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of Executive
and to diminish inevitable distractions arising from the possibility of a Change in Control. Accordingly, to assure the Company that it will have Executive’s undivided attention and services notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence
of a Change in Control, and to induce Executive to remain in the employ of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Board of Directors of the Company has, at the recommendation of its Compensation Committee, caused the Company
to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters specified herein, and supersedes any prior oral and written agreements, understandings and commitments between the Company and
Executive with respect to any change in control policy of the Company which may cover Executive. 
  

 1 

 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
  
 I. Definitions. 
  
 (1) “Cause” shall mean (a) the willful and continued
failure of Executive to perform substantially his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which is not remedied promptly by Executive after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to Executive by the Chief Executive Officer or by the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer or the Board believes that Executive has not substantially performed his duties, or
(b) the willful engaging by Executive in illegal conduct as determined by a court of law or gross misconduct, which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. For purposes of this definition, no act or failure to act on the part of
Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure
to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based on the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in good faith and in the best
interests of the Company. 
  
 (2) “Change in
Control” shall mean a change in control of the Company of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A, Regulation 240.14a-101, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or, if Item
6(e) is no longer in effect, any regulation issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which serves similar purposes; provided that, without limitation, a Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred if and when (a) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is or becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, or (b) individuals who are members of the Board immediately prior to a meeting of the shareholders of the Company involving the election of
directors shall not constitute a majority of the Board following such election. 
  

 2 

 (3) “Date of Termination” means if Executive’s employment is terminated as a Change
in Control Termination, the date of receipt of a written notice of termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be. 
  
 (4) “Disability” shall mean the absence of Executive from his duties with the Company on a full-time basis for a period of (a) ninety
(90) consecutive calendar days or (b) an aggregate of one hundred fifty (150) or more calendar days in any fiscal year, as a result of mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or
its insurers and acceptable to Executive. 
  
 (5)
“Effective Date” shall mean the date of Executive’s commencing employment with the Company. 
  
 II. Termination of Employment in Connection With a Change in Control 
  
 If within six months prior to or three years following a Change in Control, Executive’s employment with the Company is
terminated for any reason other than death or Disability or by the Company for Cause, or by Executive for Good Reason, such termination of employment shall be deemed to be a “Change in Control Termination.” For purposes of this Agreement,
“Good Reason” shall mean (a) without the express written consent of Executive, the assignment to Executive of any duties or any other action by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, which results in a material diminution in
Executive’s position (including titles), authority, duties, responsibilities, compensation or benefits from the most significant of those held, exercised, assigned and/or awarded to Executive at any time, excluding for this purpose an isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive; or (b) a requirement by the Board that the primary business location of Executive be relocated more than
25 miles from the location where Executive was employed on the date of the Change in Control. 
  

 3 

 III. Obligations of the Company Upon a Change in Control Termination. 
  
 (1) Employment Period Less than One Year. In the event of a Change in
Control Termination where the employment period of the Executive has been less than one year, the Company shall pay to Executive (i) any annual base salary owed to Executive through the Date of Termination to the extent not previously paid, (ii) an

and (D) pay any compensation previously deferred by Executive in accordance with the provisions of the plan under which such compensation was deferred. 
  
 (3) Employment Period Three Years or More. In the event of a Change in Control Termination where the employment period of the Executive has been three
years or more, the Company shall pay to Executive (i) any annual base salary owed to Executive through the Date of Termination to the extent not previously paid, (ii) an amount equal to three (3) times Executive’s highest annual base salary
during any of the last three full fiscal years prior to the Date of Termination, and (iii) an amount equal to three (3) times either (A) if Executive has been employed by the Company for at least three full fiscal years, the average annual bonus
earned by Executive over the last three full fiscal years prior to the Date of Termination, or (B) if Executive has not been employed by the Company for at least three full fiscal years, the average of (a) the last two actual bonuses received plus
(b) the Target Bonus for the current year. 
  

 5 

 In addition to the payments described in subparagraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) above, the Company also shall
(A) arrange to provide to Executive for a period of three years from the Date of Termination, medical (including dental, vision and prescription drug coverage) and life insurance with terms no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most
favorable of those provided to Executive during the year immediately preceding the Date of Termination, (B) immediately vest all previously unvested shares of Restricted Stock and Stock Options held by Executive (which shall occur automatically
without any action on the part of the Company), ( C ) provide Executive with any Performance-Based Dividend Equivalents, if any (to the extent earned by the Executive though the Date of Termination, as determined by the Company’s Compensation
Committee) for the three years following the Date of Termination, and (D) pay any compensation previously deferred by Executive in accordance with the provisions of the plan under which such compensation was deferred. 
  
 (4) Payments. Payments pursuant to subparagraph III (1)(i), III(2)(i), or III
(3)(i) above shall be made within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination. Payments pursuant to subparagraph III (1)(ii) above shall be made in equal monthly installments over the twelve-month period following the Date of Termination.
Payments pursuant to subparagraph III (2)(ii) above shall be made in equal monthly installments over the two-year period following the Date of Termination. Payments pursuant to subparagraph III (3)(ii) above shall be made in equal monthly
installments over the three-year period following the Date of Termination. Payment pursuant to III (1)(iii) shall be made on the one-year anniversary of the Date of Termination. Payments pursuant to subparagraph III (2)(iii) above shall be made in
two equal annual installments over the two-year period following the Date of Termination on each anniversary following the Date of Termination. Payments pursuant to subparagraph III (3)(iii) above shall be made in equal annual installments over the
three-year period following the Date of Termination 
  

 6 

 on each anniversary following the Date of Termination. Any payments pursuant to subparagraph ( C ) above shall be made at
the time such payments would have been made had Executive remained in the employment of the Company. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control Termination, the Executive shall be compensated, in addition to
all other payments provided for herein, to an amount equal to an award based on the average between “Target” and “High” for both “Absolute TSR” and “Relative TSR,” each weighted 50% (1) times 1/3 if the
Executive’s employment in the Three-Year Measure period is one year or less, (2) times 2/3 if the Executive’s employment in the Three Year Award Measure period is two years or less but more than one year, (3) times 100% if the
Executive’s employment in the Three-Year Measure period is more than two years. The Executive shall also be compensated, as of the Change in Control Date of Termination, for all dividends accrued during the three-year measuring period under the
Three-Year Award program based on the calculated number of shares of Restricted Stock award as determined in the preceding sentence. 
  
 If Executive should die while receiving payments pursuant to this Article III, the remaining payments which would have been made to Executive if he had
lived shall be paid to the beneficiary designated in writing by Executive, or if there is no effective written designation, then to his spouse, or if there is neither an effective written designation nor a surviving spouse, then to Executive’s
estate. Designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive the balance of any such payments shall be made by written notice to the Company, and Executive may revoke or change any such designation of beneficiary at any time by a later written
notice to the Company. 
  
 If any portion of the payments set
forth in above paragraphs (the “Termination Payments”), together with any and all other amounts due and payable to Executive as a result of such transaction (including any amounts payable with respect to any Stock Options held by
Executive), shall be deemed to be an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the 
  

 7 

 Internal Revenue Code, the amount of such payments shall be increased to a new amount (the “Modified Termination
Payments”) such that the Modified Termination Payments less the sum of (A) the excise tax payable under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code by Executive on the Termination Payments and (B) any and all federal and state income, excise and
other tax payable by Executive on the difference between the Termination Payments and the Modified Termination Payments, is equal to the Termination Payments. 
  

IV. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. 
  
 Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by
the Company for which Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company. Amounts which are vested or which Executive is otherwise entitled to
receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement (other than this Agreement) with the Company at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program
or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. Executive shall not be covered by any prior Change in Control agreement, policy or understanding thereof after the date of this Agreement and shall not be covered by any
Change in Control severance policy, practice or program of the Company other than this Agreement. 
  
 V. Full Settlement; Offsets. 
  
 The Company’s obligations to make payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by
any set-off, counterclaim, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against Executive or others. 
  
 Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment or to take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any
of the provisions of this 
  

 8 

 Agreement, and in the event Executive does seek other employment, the terms of such employment (including any
compensation received in conjunction therewith) shall not modify, mitigate or offset the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 VI. Confidential Information. 
  
 Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential business information
and knowledge or data relating to the Company and its business which shall have been obtained during Executive’s employment by the Company and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts of Executive or representatives of
Executive in violation of this Agreement) or be information already known to Executive prior to the Effective Date. After a Change in Control termination, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, or as may otherwise be
required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company or those designated by it. Upon Executive’s violation of the provisions of this Article VI, the Company shall be
relieved of all future obligations to Executive under this Agreement. However, in no event shall an asserted or alleged violation of the provisions of this Article VI constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to
Executive until such asserted or alleged violation is reasonably confirmed by the Board. 
  
 VII. Successors. 
  
 (1) This Agreement is personal to Executive and shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s
legal representatives. 
  
 (2) This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, both the Company and Executive agree that neither of them shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or
administrative action in any way related to any claim covered by this Agreement. 
  
 (5) Any claim which either party has against the other party that could be submitted for resolution pursuant to this Section must be presented in writing by the claiming party to the other party within one year of the
date the claiming party knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim. Unless the party against whom any claim is asserted waives the time limits set forth above, any claim not brought within the time periods specified herein shall
be waived and forever barred, even if there is a Federal or state statute of limitations which would have given more time to pursue the claim. 
  
 (6) The Company shall advance the costs and expenses of the arbitrator. In any arbitration to enforce any of the provisions or rights under this
Agreement, if the Company is the unsuccessful party in such arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, the Company shall pay to the Executive all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred therein by Executive (including without
limitation such costs, expenses and fees on any appeals), and if Executive shall recover an award in any such arbitration proceeding, such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees shall be included as part of such award.

 (7) Any decision and award or order of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto
and judgment thereon may be entered in the Superior Court of the State of California or any other court having jurisdiction. 
  
 (8) Each of the above terms and conditions shall have separate validity, and the invalidity of any part thereof shall not affect the remaining parts.

  
 (9) Any decision and award or order of the arbitrator shall be
final and binding between the parties as to all claims which were or could have been raised in connection with the dispute to the full extent permitted by law. In all other cases the parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be a
condition precedent to the institution or maintenance of any legal, equitable, administrative, or other formal proceeding by Executive or the Company in connection with the dispute, and that the decision and opinion of the arbitrator may be
presented in any other forum on the merits of the dispute. 
  
 IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive has hereunto set Executive’s hand, and pursuant to the authorization from the Board, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed in its name on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.
