Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of a publicly held corporation, but shall also be responsible to and report to the Board of Directors and to any committee thereof. In addition,
Executive shall have such other duties and responsibilities as the Chief Executive Officer may assign her, with her consent, including serving with the consent or at the request of the Chief Executive
Officer as an officer or on the board of directors of affiliated corporations.

of LTC, and agrees that during the term of this Agreement she will faithfully perform her duties and, except as expressly approved by the Board of Directors of LTC, will devote substantially all of
her business time to the business and affairs of LTC, and will not engage, for her own account or for the account of any other person or entity, in a business which competes with LTC. It is
acknowledged and agreed that Executive may serve as an officer and/or director of companies in which LTC owns voting or non-voting stock. In addition, it is acknowledged and agreed that
Executive may, from time to time, serve as a member of the board of directors of other companies, in which event the Board of Directors of LTC must expressly approve such service pursuant to a Board
