Period cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Preferred Return for that
Distribution Period.

record and file, at the expense of the Partnership, any and all such amendments

Interest, and shall extend to and be binding upon such Limited Partner's heirs,
successors, assigns and personal representatives.
ARTICLE 3. Partners and Partnership Interests; Capital Contributions
3.1 Partners. As of the execution and delivery hereof, the General
Partner of the Partnership is LTC Subsidiary and the Limited Partners of the
Partnership are ZK and HA, each of whom is hereby admitted to the Partnership.
3.2 Initial Capital Contributions. On or prior to the Closing
Date, LTC Subsidiary, ZK and HA shall make or cause to be made the following
Capital Contributions:
(a) LTC Subsidiary shall contribute to the Partnership, in
readily available funds, such amount as shall be required by the
Partnership to complete the purchase of a 81.32% undivided interest in the
Acquired Assets pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, to pay all costs
incidental to such purchase and to provide such initial working capital
for the Partnership as the General Partner shall determine to be necessary
for the conduct of the Partnership's business; and
(b) Each of ZK and HA shall contribute to the Partnership,
pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, an undivided ownership interest in
the Acquired Assets of 9.34%, subject in each case to the indebtedness
encumbering such assets.
The cash contributed to the Partnership by LTC Subsidiary pursuant to this
Section 3.2 is set forth on Schedule A hereto.
3.3 Additional Capital Contributions. No Partner shall have any
obligation to make any Capital Contribution to the Partnership after the Closing
Date, even if the failure to do so could result in the Bankruptcy of, or any
other adverse consequence to, the Partnership. Any such additional Capital
Contribution that the General Partner may desire to make to the Partnership
shall be made only with the consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited
Partners. Except for the aforesaid Capital Contributions, any and all sums
advanced to the Partnership by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates
(other than loans made pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, which loans shall be
governed by the provisions of that Section) shall be deemed loans to the
Partnership. Each such loan at the General Partner's election shall be evidenced
by a promissory note in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner.
The principal amount of each such loan (i) shall bear interest at an annual rate
equal to the Prime Rate (as published in the Western Edition of the Wall Street
Journal) as from time to time in effect plus one percentage point, with interest
payable monthly in arrears, and (ii) shall be due and payable in full on demand
of the Person making such loan; provided, however, that if demand is made prior
to the first anniversary of the making of the loan and prior to the dissolution
of the Partnership, but only from and to the extent of Partnership cash
available for distribution to the Partners in excess of the cash required to pay
the Preferred Return for the Distribution Period immediately preceding the
Distribution Period in which the demand is made.
34 Capital Accounts. A separate book account shall be established
and maintained with respect to each Partner's interest in the Partnership's
capital in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) To each Partner's Capital Account there shall be
credited such Partner's Capital Contributions, such Partner's distributive
share of Profits and all other items, if any, of Partnership income or
gain allocated to such Partner, the amount of all
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
11
Partnership liabilities, if any, that are assumed by such Partner or that
are secured by any property distributed to such Partner, and all other
items, if any, in the nature of income or gain that are allocated to such
Partner pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 hereof; and
(b) To each Partner's Capital Account there shall be debited
(i) the amount of cash distributed to such Partner, (ii) such Partner's
distributive share of Losses, the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership
asset distributed by the Partnership to such Partner pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement (net of the aggregate amount of Partnership
liabilities, if any, that are assumed by such Partner in respect of, or
that are secured by, such distributed property), (iii) to the extent not
otherwise included in calculating a Partner's Capital Contribution, the
amount of all liabilities, if any, of such Partner that are assumed by the
Partnership, and (v) all other items, if any, in the nature of expenses or
losses that are allocated to such Partner pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2 or
4.3 hereof.
The initial Capital Account balances of the Partners are set forth
on Schedule A hereto.
In the event that all or any part of a Partnership Interest or any
one or more Units are "transferred" within the meaning of Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, the transferee shall succeed to the
Capital Account of the transferor to the extent that such Capital Account
relates to the Partnership Interest (or portion thereof) so transferred.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5 and other provisions of
this Agreement relating to the maintenance of the Capital Accounts are intended
to comply with the maintenance of capital account provisions of Section
1.704-1(b) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent therewith. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it
is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any one or
more debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits
relating to liabilities that are secured by contributed or distributed property
or that are assumed by the Partnership or any Partner), are computed in order to
comply with such Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification,
provided that the General Partner has provided that such modification is not
likely to have a material economic effect on any Partner. The General Partner
also shall (i) make all adjustments, if any, that are necessary or, in the
judgment of the General Partner, appropriate to maintain the proper proportions
of the Capital Accounts and the amount of Partnership capital reflected on the
Partnership's balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make all modifications, if
any, that the General Partner deems appropriate in the event there occur one or
more unanticipated events that might otherwise cause this Agreement not to
comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).
3.5 No Interest on or Return of Capital Contribution. No Partner
shall be entitled to interest on such Partner's Capital Contribution or the
balance in such Partner's Capital Account. Except as specifically provided
herein or as required by applicable law, no Partner shall have any right to
demand, withdraw or receive such Partner's Capital Contribution or any Capital
Account balance.
3.6 Units. In consideration of the Capital Contributions made by
the Limited Partners pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof and the other transactions
being consummated concurrently herewith, each of ZK and HA is being issued, as
of the Closing Date, 18,770 Units. At such time as any one or more Units are
Transferred (including, but not limited to, pursuant to the Exchange Rights
Agreement), there shall be transferred to the Transferee a Partnership Interest
and an amount of the transferor's Capital Account equal to the Capital Account
balance
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
12
of the transferor immediately prior to the Transfer multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of Units so Transferred and the denominator
of which is the total number of Units held by the transferor immediately prior
to the Transfer.
In addition to setting forth the initial Capital Account balances of
the Partners, Schedule A hereto shall set forth the number of Units held by the
Limited Partners from time to time, and upon the issuance of new Units or the
Transfer or cancellation of issued and outstanding Units, the General Partner
shall cause Schedule A to be amended or restated as necessary to reflect the
then current ownership of Units.
ARTICLE 4. Allocations of Partnership Items
The Profits, Losses and other Partnership items of income, gain,
loss and deduction shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant to the provisions

4.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article 4, Profits

(i) First, 100% to the Limited Partners in proportion

over all prior allocations of Profits to the Limited Partners

(ii) Second, 100% to the Limited Partners in proportion

4.2 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any provision of Section
4.1 hereof to the contrary, the following special allocations shall be made in
the following order:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of
the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, if
there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Fiscal Year
(except as a result of conversion or refinancing of Partnership
indebtedness, certain capital contributions or revaluation of the
Partnership property as further outlined in Section 1.704-2(f) of the
Regulations), each Partner shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary,
subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the
net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain as determined under Section
1.704-2(g) of the Regulations, The items to be so allocated shall be
determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of
the Regulations, and the allocations to be so made shall be made in
proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Partner pursuant thereto. This subsection 4.2(a) is intended to comply
with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the
Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of
the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4
other than subsection 4.2(a), if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain
Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year (other
than due to the conversion, refinancing or other change in the debt
instrument causing such debt to become partially or wholly nonrecourse,
certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of Partnership
property (as further outlined in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the
Regulations), each Partner shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary,
subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the
net decrease in the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
as determined under Section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations. The items to be
so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4)
and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This subsection 4.2(b) is intended
to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to
Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the
Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c) In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives in
respect of any Fiscal Year any adjustment, allocation or distribution
described in Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the
Regulations and such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit,
items of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if
necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) shall be specially allocated to such
Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an
allocation pursuant to this subsection 4.2(c) shall be made only if and to
the extent that such Partner would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficit
after all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been
tentatively made as if this subsection 4.2(c) was not in this Agreement.
This subsection 4.2(c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income
offset" under Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall
be interpreted consistently therewith.
(d) In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account
at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (i) the
amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated
to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-
2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, such Partner shall be
specially allocated items
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
14
of Partnership income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary,
subsequent Fiscal Years) in the amount of such excess as quickly as
possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this
subsection 4.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such
Partner would have a Capital Account deficit in excess of such sum after
all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been made as if
subsection 4.2(c) hereof and this subsection 4.2(d) were not in this
Agreement.
(e) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be
specially allocated to Partners as determined by the General Partner in
accordance with the Relations. A Partner's share of nonrecourse
liabilities shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.752 of the
Regulations. The Partners hereby agree that: (i) in accordance with
Section 1.752-3(a)(2) of the Regulations, each of ZK and HA shall be
allocated a portion of the nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership
equal to the amount of taxable gain that would be allocated to them under
Section 704(c) of the Code if the Partnership disposed of (in a taxable
transaction) any property contributed by them to the Partnership
(including under the Contribution Agreement), subject to the nonrecourse
liabilities encumbering such properly in full satisfaction of such
liabilities and for no other consideration; and (ii) any excess
nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership described in Section
1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations shall be allocated among the Partners
using any reasonable method selected by the General Partner that is
permitted under Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations.
(f) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall
be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss
with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable (as determined under Sections
1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704.2(i)(1) of the Regulations).
(g) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of
any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) of the
Code is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Section
1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) of the Regulations, to be taken into account in
determining the Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the
Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment
increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases
such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to Partner
in accordance with their respective Capital Account balances in a manner
consistent with the manner in winch the Capital Accounts are required to
be adjusted pursuant to such sections of the Regulations.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the General Partner (or if there is more than one General Partner,
all of the General Partners as a group) shall be allocated not less than
1% of each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit at all times during the existence of the Partnership; provided,
however, that temporary nonconformance with the provisions of this Section
4.2(h) shall be permitted to the extent permitted by Revenue Procedure
89-12 or any successor provision.
4.3 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 4.2
(the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements
of the Regulations. The Partners intend that, to the extent possible, all
Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations
or with special allocations of other items of partnership income, gain, loss or
deduction pursuant to this Section 4.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article 4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General
Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income,
gain, loss or deduction in whatever
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
15
manner the General Partner determines appropriate so that, to the extent
possible, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner's Capital
Account balance is equal to the Capital Account balance that Partner would have
had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all
Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof. In exercising
its discretion under this Section 4.3, the General Partner shall take into
account future Regulatory Allocations under subsections 4,2(a) and (b) hereof
that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations
previously made under subsections 4.2(e) and (f) hereof.
4.4 Tax Allocations.
(a) Subject to subsections 4.4(b), (c) and (d) hereof, items
of income, gain, loss and deduction and tax credits to be allocated for
federal income tax purposes (collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated
among the Partners as nearly as possible to the manner in which such items
arc allocated for purposes of determining the Capital Account balances
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof.
(b) If any portion of gain from a Sale or other sale of
Partnership property is treated as gain that is ordinary income by virtue
of the application of Sections 1245 or 1250 of the Code ("Affected Gain"),
then (i) such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the
same proportion as the depredation and amortization deductions giving rise
to the Affected Gain were allocated, and (ii) other Tax Items of gain of
the same character that would have been recognized but for the application
of Sections 1245 and/or 1250 of the Code shall be allocated away from
those Partners who are allocated Affected Gain pursuant to clause (i)
immediately above so that, to the extent possible, the other Partners are
allocated the same amount and type of capital gain as would have been
allocated to those Partners had Sections 1245 and/or 1250 of the Code not
applied. For purposes of this subsection 4.4(b), in order to determine
the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions
for each Fiscal Year, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the
same basis as Profits or Losses for such Fiscal Year.
(c) In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the
Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to
any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely
for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of
a variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership
for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value. In the
event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted,
subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to
such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis
of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in
the same manner as under section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations
thereunder. Any and all elections or other decisions relating to such
allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that
reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.
Allocations pursuant to this subsection 4.4(c) are solely for purposes of
federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be
taken into account in computing, any Partner's Capital Account or share of
Profits, Losses, other similar items or distributions pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement. In addition, the General Partner may make
curative allocations for the purpose of offsetting the effect of the
"ceiling rule" in any manner permitted by the Regulations, including, but
not limited to, in the manner permitted by Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)
and Section 1.704-3T.
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
16
(d) Partnership tax credits and other similar items shall be
allocated to Partners in accordance with their respective Capital Account
balances to the extent permitted under Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) of the
Regulations (or other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations)
and otherwise in accordance with such provisions.
4.5 Varying Interests. In the event the number of Units
outstanding during a Fiscal Year changes, allocations pursuant to this Article 4
shall be made by the General Partner so as to take such varying interests into
account in any reasonable manner permitted under the Code and the Regulations.
4.6 Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee. If a Partner
Transfers any part or all of such Partner's Partnership Interest during a Fiscal
Year and the transferee is admitted as a substitute Partner as provided herein,
the distributive shares of the various items of Profits, Losses and all other
items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction allocable among the
Partners with respect to such Fiscal Year shall be allocated between the
transferor Partner and the substitute Partner at the discretion of the General
Partner either (i) as if the applicable Fiscal Year had ended on the date of the
Transfer, or (ii) based on the number of days of such Fiscal Year that each was
a Partner without regard to the results of Partnership activities in the
respective portions of such Fiscal Year in which the transferor and the
transferee were Partners.
ARTICLE 5. Distributions
5.1 Distributions. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership
to distribute with respect to each Distribution Period, to the Partners who are
Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such distribution and no
later than 30 days after the end of such Distribution Period, Partnership cash
as follows:
(a) First, 100% to the Limited Partners, in proportion to
their respective Capital Account balances on such Partnership Record Date,
until the Limited Partners have been distributed pursuant to this
subsection 5.1(a) an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Preferred
Return for such Distribution Period and all prior Distribution Periods;
(b) Second, 100% to the Limited Partners, in proportion to
their respective Capital Account balances on such Partnership Record Date,
until the Limited Partners have been distributed pursuant to this
subsection 5.1(b) an amount equal to 1.87% of Cash Flow from Operations
for such Distribution Period;
(c) Third, if during such Distribution Period the Facility
was sold and the entire purchase price was paid to the Partnership at
closing either entirely in cash or through a combination of cash and
assumption of debt, 100% to the Limited Partners, in proportion to their
respective Capital Account balances on such Partnership Record Date, until
the Limited Partners have been distributed pursuant to this subsection
5.1(c) an amount equal to 1.87% of the Gain on Sale resulting from the
Sale, if any;
(d) Fourth, if during such Distribution Period any Sale
Proceeds were received in respect of a Sale in which the entire purchase
price was not paid to the Partnership at closing either entirely in cash
or through a combination of cash and assumption of debt and the Sale
Proceeds so received, together with all Sale Proceeds received by the
Partnership in any prior Distribution Period, exceed the Sales Price, 100%
to the Limited Partners, in proportion to their respective Capital Account
balances on such
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
17
Partnership Record Date, until the Limited Partners have been distributed
pursuant to this subsection an amount that, together with all prior
distributions made pursuant to this subsection 5.1(d) with respect to
prior Distribution Periods, equals 1,87% of the Gain on Sale, if any; and
(e) Thereafter, 100% to the General Partner.
5.2 Certain Loans and Offset. If and to the extent that the
Partnership would not otherwise have available with respect to any Distribution
Period sufficient cash to distribute to the Limited Partners cash in an amount
equal to the Preferred Return for that period, the Partnership shall borrow the
deficit amount from LTC. Each such loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note
inform and substance satisfactory to LTC and the General Partner, shall be
non-interest bearing and unsecured, and shall be due and payable to LTC on
demand but only from and to the extent of Partnership cash available for
distribution to the Partners in excess of the cash required to pay the Preferred
Return for the Distribution Period immediately preceding the Distribution Period
in which the demand is made.
5.3 REIT Distribution Requirements. Unless the General Partner
determines that such a distribution would not be in the best interests of the
Partnership, it is the intent, but not the obligation, of the Partnership that a
cash distribution shall be made for each Fiscal Year of the Partnership to
enable the General Partner to pay a dividend to LTC in an amount sufficient
(together with all other funds available to LTC for such purpose) to allow LTC
(i) to meet LTC's distribution requirement for qualification as a REIT as set
forth in Section 857(a)(1) of the Code, and (ii) to avoid the excise tax imposed
by Section 4981 of the Code.
5.4 Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement:
(a) In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash
with respect to a Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a dividend
out of the General Partner's share of such cash (as distributed to LTC)
with respect to a REIT Share for which all or a part of such Unit has been
exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement.
(b) Other than in connection with distributions made
pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof, no Partner shall be entitled to demand
property other than cash in connection with any distribution by the
Partnership.
(c) No distribution shall be made that includes a return of
all or part of a Partner's Capital Contribution unless after giving effect
to the return of a Capital Contribution, all Partnership liabilities,
other than the liabilities to a Partner for the return of that Partner's
Capital Contribution, do not exceed the fair market value of the
Partnership's assets.
5.5 Distributions Upon Liquidation.
(a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, concurrently with
the payment of the Partnership's debts, obligations and liabilities owing to
creditors and the expenses of dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership's
assets, the General Partner shall set up such reserves as the General Partner
deems necessary for the discharge of any and all liabilities or obligations of
the Partnership. Said reserves may be paid over by the General Partner to a
bank, to be held in escrow for the purpose of paying any such liabilities or
obligations, and at the expiration of such
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
18
period as the General Partner may deem advisable, such reserves shall be
distributed to the Partners or their assigns in the manner set forth below.
After payment of, or adequate provision for, debts, obligations and
liabilities of the Partnership (including all contingent liabilities and
obligations and all loans made by Partner if any), all remaining assets of the
Partnership, or the proceeds therefrom, if any, shall be distributed to the
Partners in accordance with the positive balances in their respective Capital
Accounts. For purposes of this subsection 5.5(a), the Capital Account balances
shall be determined after all allocations, distributions and adjustments made in
accordance with Article 4 and Section 5.1 resulting from Partnership operations
and from any Sale and all other dispositions, if any, of all or any part of the
Partnership's assets.
(b) If upon the liquidation of the Partnership's assets and
distribution of the proceeds thereof as described above, the General Partner's
Capital Account has a deficit balance (after giving effect to all contributions,
distributions and allocations for all Fiscal Years, including the Fiscal Year
during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall contribute to the
capital of the Partnership the amount necessary to restore such deficit balance
to zero in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3), and
such cash shall be distributed by the Partnership in accordance with subsection
5.5(a) hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 5 to the
contrary, to the extent that Partnership assets to be distributed to the
Partners upon liquidation consist of assets of a type or form other than cash,
the types and forms of such assets distributed shall be allocated in an
equitable manner among the Partners entitled thereto, in the proportions and
amounts provided for herein, such that each Partner shall, except for immaterial
variances, receive the same type or form of assets upon liquidation. At such
time as the distributions provided for in this Article 5 have been completed,
all then outstanding Units, if any shall be cancelled.

(xiv) in general, to exercise all of the general rights,
privileges and powers permitted to be had and exercised by a general
partner under the Act.
Without limiting the rights, powers and authority granted to the General Partner

Partners not less than 20 calendar days notice in writing prior to any Sale
other than pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the
Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any
decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the
Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is
necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of LTC to continue to
qualify as a REIT or (ii) to prevent LTC from incurring any taxes under Section
857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement
and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners; provided, however, that
nothing in this subsection 6.1(b) is intended or shall be construed to
authorize the General Partner to cause the Partnership to omit to distribute
cash in the amount of the Preferred Return as required by Section 5.1 hereof.
6.2 Delegation of Authority. The General Partner may delegate any
or all of its powers, rights and obligations hereunder, and may appoint, employ,
contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction of the business
of the Partnership, which Person may, under supervision of the General Partner,
perform such one or more acts or services for the Partnership as the General
Partner may approve.
6.3 Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be
entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority to
lease, encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the
Partnership and to enter into any and all contracts on behalf of the
Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner
as if it were the Partnership's sole party in interest, both legally and
beneficially. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or
its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement
have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any
act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every
contract, certificate, instrument or other document executed on behalf of the
Partnership by the General Partner shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any
and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of
the execution and delivery of such writing, this Agreement was in full force and
effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such writing had the power and
was duly authorized to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership, and (iii)
such writing was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.
6.4 Limitation on Authority of the General Partner.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, without the consent
of a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not
have the authority to:
(a) do any act in contravention of this Agreement or the
Certificate;
(b) possess any Partnership property for other than a
partnership purpose;
(c) knowingly perform any act that would subject any Limited
Partner to liability as a general partner in any jurisdiction; or
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
22
(d) dissolve the Partnership, or do any other act that would
make it impossible to carry on the business of the Partnership.
In addition, the General Partner shall not, without the consent of a
Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners, take any action that would reduce,
or would be deemed for federal income tax purposes to have the effect of
reducing, the principal amount of "qualified debt" (as hereinafter defined) that
is allocable to the Limited Partners under Section 752 of the Code at any given
time (other than as a result of regularly scheduled amortization payments),
including, without limitation, by guaranteeing, acquiring or otherwise causing
the Partnership or an Affiliate of the Partnership to bear the economic risk of
loss (within the meaning of Section 752 of the Code and the regulations
thereunder) for qualified debt or prepaying or refinancing principal of
qualified debt other than with other qualified debt. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "qualified debt" means any debt of the Partnership secured
by the Facility and held by a party that is not an Affiliate of the Partnership
that constitutes a nonrecourse liability of the Partnership under Code Section
752 and the regulations thereunder.
6.5 Payment of Partnership Expenses; Reimbursement of General
Partner. The Partnership shall pay directly all costs and expenses incurred or
payable by or on behalf of the Partnership in connection with the Partnership's
business. The Partnership also shall pay directly, or reimburse the General
Partner for, all expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with the
performance of the General Partner's duties as General Partner or as Tax Matters
Partner (including, without limitation, salaries and other remuneration paid to
directors, officers and employees of the General Partner, the General Partner's
accounting and legal expenses, such portion of the general and administrative
costs and expenses of X.XX as may be allocated to the General Partner in
accordance with GAAP and expenses incurred by the General Partner relating to
the issuance of additional Partnership Interests after the Closing Date), in
each case on a monthly basis or such other basis as the General Partner may
determine. The rights of the General Partner to reimbursement pursuant to this
Section 6.5 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights to
payment or reimbursement the General Partner (or any Affiliate thereof) may be
entitled to receive under any agreement between the Partnership and the General
Partner or such Affiliate.
6.6 Compensation of the General Partner. Unless otherwise
consented to by a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners, except as
expressly provided in Articles 4 and 5 hereof regarding distributions and
allocations to which the General Partner may be entitled, the General Partner
shall not receive any compensation for its services as general partner of the
Partnership.
6.7 Loans by Partners or Affiliates the Partnership. In the event
the Partnership's funds are insufficient to meet the Partnership's costs,
expenses, obligations or liabilities, or to make any expenditure authorized by
this Agreement, the Partnership is hereby authorized to borrow such funds from a
Partner or an Affiliate of a Partner. The terms of each such loan, including the
interest rate, shall be fair and reasonable to the Partnership. Nothing
contained in this Section 6.7 shall be deemed to obligate any Partner, or any
Affiliate of a Partner, to make any such loan to the Partnership.
6.8 Title to Partnership Assets. Title to Partnership assets,
whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be
deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually
or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or
any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held
in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as
the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner.
The General
LTC6\Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement Execution Copy
23
Partner hereby acknowledges and confirms that any Partnership assets for which
legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or
Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by the General Partner or such
nominee or Affiliate for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the General
Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial and record title to such
assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as reasonably practicable. All
Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its
books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such
Partnership assets is held.
6.9 Liability of the General Partner.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary or other damages
to the Partnership, any of the Partners, or any assignee of any interest of any
Partner, for losses or damages sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of
any error or errors in judgment or of any act or omission if the General Partner
acted or failed to act without fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Except for any action or for failure to act, in either case in bad faith, or for
gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any action out of their scope of
authority or otherwise in violation of this Agreement, the Partnership hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold each of the General Partner and the Tax Matters
Partner, and each officer, director, employee, stockholder and agent of the
General Partner, the Tax Matters Partner or the Partnership (each of the
foregoing Persons an "Indemnitee"), harmless from and against any claim, loss,
damage, liability, expense, suit, action or proceeding (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and other costs of defending any of the
foregoing) from such Indemnitee's action or failure to act under this Agreement
or on behalf of the Partnership or solely by reason of such Indemnitee's being a
Partner. The Partnership shall pay expenses as and when incurred by an
Indemnitee hereunder in defending any such claim, suit, proceeding or action in
advance of the final disposition thereof, upon receipt of a written undertaking
by such Indemnitee to repay such payment if there shall be an adjudication that
indemnification should not be provided hereunder.
(b) Any modification or repeal of this Section 6.9 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the
limitations on the General Partner's liability to the Partnership and the
Limited Partners under this Section 6.9 as in effect immediately prior to such
modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to
matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such modification or repeal
regardless of when any such claim may be asserted.
6.10 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner.
(a) The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, or other document reasonably believed by the
General Partner to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties.
(b) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel,
accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other
consultants and advisers selected by the General Partner, and any act taken or
omitted to be taken in reliance upon the advice or opinion of any such Person as
to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such
Person's professional or expert competence and in accordance with such advice or
opinion shall be prima facie evidence that such actions have been done or
omitted in good faith.

(c) The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of
its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized
officers and any attorney or attorneys-in-fact duly appointed by the General
Partner. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner
in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all
and every act and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the General
Partner hereunder.
(d) The General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to
the General Partner under this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed

Partner in good faith.

made by the General Partner hereunder or otherwise in its capacity as General
Partner shall be made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion.

director, employee, agent, Affiliate and shareholder of the General Partner
shall be entitled to, may have and in the case of LTC will have business
interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the
Partnership, including business interests and activities substantially similar
to or otherwise competitive with those of the Partnership, and the General
Partner and the other Persons described above shall have no obligation pursuant
to this Agreement to offer any interest in any such business interest or
activity to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, even if such opportunity is
of a character that, if presented to the Partnership or any Limited Partner,
could be taken by such Person. Neither the Partnership nor any Limited Partner
shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship
established hereby in any business interest or activity of the General Partner,
LTC or any other Person.
6.12 Limited Partners.
(a) No Limited Partner shall take part in the operation,
management or control (within the meaning of the Act) of the Partnership's
business, transact any business in the Partnership's name or have the power to
sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein is intended to limit the ability of any Limited Partner
who is employed by the Partnership to discharge the express duties and
responsibilities of such employment.
(b) No Limited Partner shall be personally liable for any debt,
liability or obligation of the Partnership, whether to the Partnership, to the
General Partner, or to creditors of the Partnership, beyond the amount, if any,

Partnership, or the amount of any distribution (including return of any Capital
Contribution) made to such Limited Partner that must be returned to the
Partnership pursuant to applicable law.
(c) The Bankruptcy of any Limited Partner shall not cause a
dissolution of the Partnership, but the rights of such Limited Partner to share

accordance with Article 8 hereof.
(d) No Limited Partner shall at any time, either directly or
indirectly, own any stock or other interest in the General Partner, LTC or any
other Affiliate of the General Partner if such ownership, by itself or in
conjunction with other stock or other interests owned by other limited Partners,
would, in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership, jeopardize the
classification of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. The General Partner shall be entitled to make such reasonable inquiry

Partners with the provisions of this subsection 6.12(d).

admission of LTC as a Limited Partner). The General Partner is hereby authorized
on behalf of each of the Partners to amend this Agreement (including the

2510.3-101 or otherwise pursuant to ERISA or the Code to be for any purpose of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code assets of any Restricted Entity, or (B) cause
a "prohibited transaction" (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code or within

become with respect to any Restricted Entity a "party in interest" (as defined
in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in Section
4975(c) of the Code) or (D) cause the Partnership to be jointly and severally

fractional REIT Share that would otherwise be deliverable upon exchange of a
Unit, the Exchanging Holder shall be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal
to the same fraction of the Market Value of a REIT Share on the day on which the
Exchange Notice is given.
Any and all Exchange Shares shall be delivered to the Exchanging
Holder pursuant to a then effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or in such other manner as to cause such shares not to be "restricted
securities" as defined by Rule 144 (or equivalent rule or regulation) under the
Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after any Units
are tendered by an Exchanging Holder pursuant hereto LTC is contemplating an
underwritten public offering of LTC's securities and LTC determines that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares of Common Stock
available for sale in the market, LTC shall so advise the Holders, and no
Exchange Shares held by any Holder shall be sold in any public sale or other
distribution, without the prior written consent of LTC, for such period of time
before and after (not to exceed 30 days before and 60 days after) the effective
date of the registration statement relating to such public offering as LTC may
require.
4.3 Transfer Taxes. LTC shall pay all documentary, stamp or
similar issuer transfer taxes, if any, due as a result of the delivery of
Exchange Shares pursuant hereto. The Holder of the Units in respect of which
such shares are delivered, however, (i) shall pay to LTC on demand the amount of
all additional documentary, stamp or similar issuer transfer taxes, if any, due
as a result of the certificate or certificates evidencing such Exchange Shares
being issued in a name other than the name of the Exchanging Holder (or shall
establish to the satisfaction of LTC that any and all such additional taxes have
been paid), and (ii) shall be responsible for the payment of all income or other
taxes payable by the Exchanging Holder (or by any Other Person to whom Exchange
Shares are delivered) as a result of such delivery of Exchange Shares or payment
of the Cash Amount in lieu thereof.
4.4 Ownership of REIT Shares. Each Holder shall provide to LTC,
within 10 days of any written request therefor, a statement describing the
number of REIT Shares actually or constructively owned by such Holder and all
direct and indirect owners of such Holder for purposes of the REIT Requirements
as determined under Section 318(a) of the Code as modified by Section 856(d)(5)
of the Code, or Section 544 of the Code as modified by Section 856(h) of the
Code.
4.5 Status of Exchanging Holder. Until the Holder of Units tendered
for exchange pursuant to this Agreement becomes a holder of record of the
Exchange Shares delivered in exchange therefor and/or has received in lieu
thereof the Cash Amount, such Holder shall continue to hold and own such Units
for all purposes of the Partnership Agreement. No Exchanging Holder shall have
any rights as a shareholder in respect of the Exchange Shares to be delivered to
such Holder unless and until such Holder becomes a holder of record of such
shares.
Article 5. Reservation of Shares. LTC shall reserve and shall at all
times have reserved under LTC's authorized but unissued REIT Shares, solely for
the purpose of effecting
LTC6\Exchange Rights Agreement Execution Copy

the exchange of Units pursuant to this Agreement, sufficient REIT Shares to
permit the exchange of all Units from time to time outstanding and held other
than by the General Partner. All REIT Shares that may be issued as Exchange
Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Article 6. Mandatory Exchange of Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Agreement, no later than the 30th calendar day following the
consummation of an Acquisition Transaction that consists of the purchase by a
Private Acquiror of not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock (whether pursuant to a merger, consolidation, tender or exchange
offer or otherwise) solely for cash, each Holder shall either (i) tender to such
Private Acquiror all of such Holder's Units (including the related Partnership
Interests) against payment to such Holder of cash in an amount per Unit equal to
110% of the cash amount paid for each share of Common Stock in the Acquisition
Transaction, or (ii) deliver to such Private Acquiror a valid, binding and
enforceable waiver, duly executed by such Holder, of such Holder's Exchange
Right with respect to any and all Units held by such Holder as of the date of
such waiver.

or other obligation in the future. No consent or waiver, express or implied, to
or of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation hereunder shall
be binding unless in writing and then shall not constitute a consent to or
