NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Purchase

2.                                       Representations

Purchaser represents and warrants with respect to itself that:

 

(a)                                  Due
Authorization.  Such Purchaser has
full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and is duly authorized to
purchase the Capital Shares in the amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule A,
Schedule B or Schedule C, as the case may be.  This Agreement has been duly authorized by
such Purchaser and duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of such
Purchaser.  This Agreement constitutes a legal,
valid and binding agreement of such Purchaser, enforceable against such
Purchaser in accordance with its terms except as may be limited by (i) the
effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,

 

 

reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors or (ii) the
effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law and the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought (the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

 

(b)                                 Prospectus
and Prospectus Supplement. Such Purchaser has received a copy of the
Company’s Basic Prospectus dated April 5, 2004 and the Prospectus
Supplement dated July 12, 2005 (each as defined below).

 

(c)                                  Ownership
of Excess Shares of Capital Stock. 
As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the transaction
contemplated hereby, such Purchaser, together with its subsidiaries and
affiliates, does not own directly or indirectly more than 9.8% in number of
shares or value, whichever is more restrictive, of any class or series of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.  Purchaser expressly acknowledges that the
provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended or
supplemented (the “Charter”), prohibit the ownership by Purchaser
(together with its subsidiaries and affiliates) directly or indirectly of more
than 9.8% of the number of issued and outstanding Capital Shares and not more
than 9.8% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of any other class or
series of the Company’s capital stock and, in the event Purchaser’s Capital
Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise constitute Excess
Shares (as defined in the Charter), the Company may repurchase such number of
the Purchaser’s Capital Shares on the terms set forth in the Charter and referenced
in the Charter as is necessary to cause Purchaser to thereafter not own any
Excess Shares.

 

3.                                       Representations
and Warranties of Company.  The
Company represents and warrants that:

 

(a)                                  The
Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and meets the requirements pursuant
to the standards for such Form as were in effect immediately prior to October 21,
1992.  The Company’s Registration
Statement (as defined below) was declared effective by the SEC (as defined
below) and the Company has filed such post-effective amendments thereto as may
be required under applicable law prior to the execution of this Agreement and
each such post-effective amendment became effective.  The SEC has not issued, nor to the Company’s

with respect to the Registration Statement, nor has it otherwise suspended or
withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or to the Company’s
knowledge, threatened to do so, either temporarily or permanently, nor, to the
Company’s knowledge, does it intend to do so. 
On the effective date, the Registration Statement complied in all
material respects with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated under the Act (the “Regulations”); at the
effective date the Basic Prospectus (as defined below) complied, and at the
Closing the Prospectus (as defined below) will comply, in all material respects
with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations; each of the Basic
Prospectus and the Prospectus as of its date and at the Closing Date did not,
does not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading;

provided, however,
that the representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply
to statements in or omissions from the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf
of any of the Purchasers, Cohen & Steers Capital Advisors, LLC, in its
capacity as placement agent (“Placement Agent”), any Investment Advisers
or Broker-Dealers, or any of their respective affiliates, expressly for use in
the Prospectus. As used in this Agreement, the term “Registration Statement”
means the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-113847)

including exhibits, financial statements, schedules and documents incorporated
by reference therein.  The term “Basic

amended, or as supplemented and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424
under the Act in connection with the sale of the Capital Shares hereunder.  The term “Prospectus Supplement” means

The term “preliminary prospectus” means any form of preliminary
prospectus used in connection with the marketing of the Capital Shares.  Any reference in this Agreement to the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or
any preliminary prospectus  shall be deemed to refer to and
include the documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date hereof
or the date of the Prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus as the case may be, and any reference herein to any amendment
or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus shall
be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date and
through the date of such amendment or supplement under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and so incorporated by
reference.

 

(b)                                 Since
the date as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the

material adverse change or any development which could reasonably be expected
to give rise to a prospective material adverse change in or affecting the
condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or, to
the Company’s knowledge, business prospects of the Company and the subsidiaries
of the Company, if any (the “Subsidiaries”) considered as one
enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) there
have been no transactions entered into by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, other than those in the ordinary course of business, which are

Company has been duly organized as a corporation and is validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.  Each of the Subsidiaries of the Company has
been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of
its jurisdiction of organization.  Each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries has the required power and authority to own
and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the
Prospectus; and each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is

 

3

 

duly qualified to transact business in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the
ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the
failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the
condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or, to the
Company’s knowledge, business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries
considered as one enterprise.

 

(d)                                 As

unissued.  The issued and outstanding
shares of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable; the Capital Shares have been duly authorized,
and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Charter and delivered as
contemplated hereby, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and

Preferred Stock of the Company conform to all statements relating thereto
contained in the Prospectus; and the issuance of the Capital Shares is not
subject to preemptive or other similar rights.

 

(e)                                  Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its organizational documents
or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement,
covenant or condition contained in any material contract, indenture, mortgage,
loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument or agreement to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them are
bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is subject, except where such violation or default would not have
a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the
earnings, business affairs or, to the Company’s knowledge, business prospects
of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; and the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the issuance and
delivery of the Capital Shares and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all necessary action and will
not conflict with or constitute a material breach of, or material default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any material property or assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant to, any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan
agreement, note, lease or other instrument or agreement to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them are bound, or
to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its

Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any law, administrative regulation or
administrative or court decree applicable to the Company.

(f)                                    The
Company is organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and,
as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, operates in a manner that
qualifies it as a “real estate investment trust” under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and
will be so qualified after giving effect to the sale of the Capital Shares.

 

(g)                                 The
Company is not required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.

 

(h)                                 No
legal or governmental proceedings are pending to which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party or to which the property of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is subject that are required to be described in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus and are not described therein, and no

with the sale of the Capital Shares hereunder, except such as may be required
under the Act or the Regulations or state securities laws or real estate
syndication laws.

 

(j)                                     The
Company and its Subsidiaries possess such certificates, authorities or permits
issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or
bodies necessary to conduct the business now conducted by them, except where
the failure to possess such certificates, authority or permits would not have a
material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the
earnings, business affairs or, to the Company’s knowledge, business prospects
of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.  Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit which, singly or
in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding,
would materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or

prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise,
nor, to the knowledge of the Company, are any such proceedings threatened or

audited financial statements contained in the Prospectus, subject to no lien,
mortgage, pledge or encumbrance of any kind except (i) those reflected in
such financial statements, (ii) as are otherwise described in the
Prospectus, (iii) as do not materially adversely affect

 

5

 

the value of such property or interests or
interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property or
interests by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries or (iv) which
constitute customary provisions of mortgage loans secured by the Company’s
properties creating obligations of the Company with respect to proceeds of the
properties, environmental liabilities and other customary protections for the
mortgagees.

 

(m)                               Neither
the issuance, sale and delivery of the Capital Shares nor the application of
the proceeds thereof by the Company as described in the Prospectus will cause
the Company to violate or be in violation of Regulation T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of
such Board of Governors.

 

(n)                                 The

2005, unless extended by the parties, to introduce LTC Properties, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”), to certain investors as
prospective purchasers (the “Offer”) of up to 1,500,000 shares (the “Securities”)
of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”)
(assuming the maximum number of Securities is issued and sold).  The engagement described herein (i) may

to the following procedures and terms and conditions:

 

1.                                       The
Company will:

the Company’s independent public accountants to address to the Company and the
Placement Agent and deliver to the Company, the Placement Agent and the
Purchasers (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof
between the Company and the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchase
Agreement”) (i) a letter or letters (which letters are frequently
referred to as “comfort letters”) dated the date hereof, and (ii) if so
requested by the Placement Agent, a “bring-down” letter delivered the date on
which the sale of the Securities is consummated pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement (such date, a “Closing Date” and the time of such consummation
on the Closing Date, a “Closing,”), which, with respect to the letter
referred to in clause (i) above, will be substantially in the form
attached hereto as Annex I, and with respect to the letter or
letters referred to in clause (ii) above, will be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent.

 

(b)                                 On
the Closing Date, cause special securities counsel to the Company to deliver

1

 

(c)                                  Prior
to the Closing, the Company shall not sell or approve the solicitation of
offers for the purchase of additional Shares in excess of the amount which
shall be authorized by the Company or in excess of the aggregate offering price
of the Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined
below).

 

(d)                                 Use
the proceeds of the offering contemplated hereby as set forth under the caption
“Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below).

 

(e)                                  On
the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Placement Agent and the
Purchasers a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, setting forth that each
of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be true
on and as of the Closing Date as if made as of the Closing Date and each of the
conditions and covenants contained herein shall have been complied with to the
extent compliance is required prior to the Closing Date, and shall have
delivered such other customary certificates as the Placement Agent shall have
reasonably requested.

 

2.                                       The
Company authorizes the Placement Agent to use the Prospectus (as defined below)
in connection with the Offer for such period of time as any such materials are
required by law to be delivered in connection therewith and the Placement Agent
agrees to do so.

 

3.                                       (a)                                  The
Placement Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts on behalf of the
Company in connection with the Placement Agent’s services hereunder.  No offers or sales of Securities shall be
made to any person without the prior approval of such person by the Company,
such approval to be at the reasonable discretion of the Company.  The Placement Agent’s aggregate fee for its
services hereunder will be an amount equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from
the sale of Securities sold to Purchasers that are not affiliates of the
Placement Agent (such fee payable by the Company at and subject to the
consummation of the Closing).  The
Company, upon consultation with the Placement Agent, may establish in the
Company’s discretion a minimum aggregate amount of Shares to be sold in the
offering contemplated hereby, which minimum aggregate amount shall be reflected
in the Prospectus.  The Placement Agent
will not enter into any agreement or arrangement with any broker, dealer or
other person in connection with the placement of Shares (individually, a “Participating
Person” and collectively, “Participating Persons”) which will
obligate the Company to pay additional fees or expenses to or on behalf of a
Participating Person without the prior written consent of the Company, it being
understood that Jefferies & Company, Inc. will be acting as
settlement agent (“Settlement Agent”) in connection with the Offer and
the Company will pay the fees and expenses of the Settlement Agent which shall
be calculated at the rate of $.02 per Security sold.

(b)                                         The
Company agrees that it will pay its own costs and expenses incident to the
performance of the obligations hereunder whether or not any Shares are offered
or sold pursuant to the Offer, including, without limitation, (i) the
filing fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the
NYSE, (ii) all costs and expenses incident to the preparation, issuance,
execution and delivery of the Securities, (iii) all costs and expenses
(including filing fees) incident to the preparation, printing and filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, including, without limitation, in each case, all
exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, (iv) all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the required registration or qualification of the
Securities issuable under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Placement Agent
may reasonably designate, if any, (v) all costs and expenses incurred by
the Company in connection with the printing (including word processing and
duplication costs) and delivery of the Prospectus and Registration Statement
(including, without limitation, any preliminary and supplemental blue sky
memoranda) including, without limitation, mailing and shipping, (vi) all
fees and expenses incurred in marketing the Offer, and (vii) the fees and
disbursements of Reed Smith, LLP, special securities counsel to the Company,
Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP, special Maryland counsel to
the Company and any other counsel to the Company, and Ernst & Young
LLP, auditors to the Company.  In
addition, the Company agrees to reimburse the Placement Agent for all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Placement Agent in connection with the Offer
including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees, expenses and
disbursements of the Placement Agent’s counsel in connection with the Offer in
an amount not to exceed $15,000.

 

(c)                                          The
Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and each of its
respective partners, directors, officers, associates, affiliates, subsidiaries,
employees, consultants, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any,
controlling the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (collectively, the “Placement
Agent Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or costs (and any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by
such Placement Agent in investigating or defending the same or in giving
testimony or furnishing documents in response to a request of any government
agency or to a subpoena) in any way relating to, arising out of or caused by
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Registration Statement or in the Prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus in any way relating to, arising out of or caused by any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. 
Such indemnity agreement shall not, however, apply to any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (i) if such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon or in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by the Placement

 

3

 

Agent or its affiliates or any of the Purchasers, Investment Advisors
or Broker-Dealers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or their respective
affiliates expressly for use in the Prospectus Supplement, or (ii) which
is held in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject
to further appeal) to have arisen out of (x) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Placement Agent or any Placement Agent Indemnitee described
in this paragraph 4(a), or (y) a breach of Placement Agent’s representations
and warranties in paragraph 5 hereof.

 

(d)                                         The
Placement Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its
directors, officers, associates, affiliates, subsidiaries, employees,
consultants, attorneys, agents, and each person controlling the Company or any
of its affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses (and any reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred by such indemnitee in investigating or defending the same or in giving
testimony or furnishing documents in response to a request of any government agency
or to a subpoena) (i) which are held in a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have arisen out of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Placement Agent or any of
its respective partners, directors, officers, associates, affiliates,
subsidiaries, employees, consultants, attorneys and agents, and each person, if
any, controlling the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or
(ii) relating to, arising out of or caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus
Supplement or in any way relating to, arising out of or caused by any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon or in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by the Placement Agent or its affiliates or any of
the Purchasers, Investment Advisors or Broker-Dealers or their respective
affiliates expressly for use in the Prospectus Supplement, or (iii) which
result from violations by the Placement Agent of law or of requirements, rules or
regulations of federal or state securities regulators, self-regulatory
associations or organizations in the securities industry, stock exchanges or
organizations with similar functions or responsibilities with respect to
securities brokers or dealers, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction or applicable federal or state securities regulators,
self-regulatory associations or organizations in the securities industry or stock
exchanges or organizations, as applicable.

 

(e)                                          If
any action, proceeding or investigation is commenced as to which any
indemnified party hereunder proposes to demand indemnification under this
letter agreement, such indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party
with reasonable promptness.  The
indemnifying party shall have the right to retain counsel of its own

 

4

 

choice (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party) to represent it and such counsel shall, to the extent
consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the
indemnified party and any counsel designated by the indemnified party; provided,
however, it is understood and agreed that if the indemnifying party
assumes the defense of a claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder,
it shall have no obligation to pay the expenses of separate counsel for the indemnified
party, unless defenses are available to the indemnified party that make it impracticable
for the indemnifying party and the indemnified party to be represented by the
same counsel in which case the indemnified party shall be entitled to retain
one counsel.  The indemnifying party will
not be liable under this letter agreement for any settlement of any claim
against the indemnified party made without the indemnifying party’s written
consent.

 

(f)                                            In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this paragraph 3 is made but it is found in a final
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal)
that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the
express provisions hereof provided for indemnification in such case, then the
Company, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, shall
contribute to the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or costs to which the
indemnified persons may be subject in accordance with the relative benefits
received from the offering and sale of the Securities by the Company, on the
one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand (it being understood that,
with respect to the Placement Agent, such benefits received are limited to fees
actually paid by the Company and received by the Placement Agent pursuant to
this Agreement), and also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand,
and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the statements,
acts or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
costs, and any relevant equitable considerations shall also be considered.  No person found liable for a fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable
for such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Placement Agent shall not be
obligated to contribute any amount hereunder that exceeds the fees received by
the Placement Agent in respect to the offering and sale of the Shares.

 

4.                                       The
Company represents and warrants to the Placement Agent as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date as follows:

 

(a)                                  The
Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and meets
the requirements pursuant to the standards for such Form as (i) are

issue, a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement, nor has it
otherwise suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened to do so, either

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; provided, however, that the representations
and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or
omissions from the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Company in writing by the Placement Agent or its
affiliates or by or on behalf of any of the Purchasers, Investment Advisors or
Broker-Dealers or any of their respective affiliates, in each case, expressly
for use therein.  As used in this
Agreement, the term “Registration Statement” means the “shelf”

with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act in connection with the
sale of the Shares.  The term “Prospectus”
means the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement taken together.  The term “preliminary prospectus”
means any form of preliminary prospectus used in connection with the marketing
of the Shares.  Any reference in this
Agreement to the Registration Statement. the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus
shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference
therein as of the date hereof or the date of the Prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference herein to any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus
shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date and
through the date of such amendment or supplement under the Exchange Act and so
incorporated by reference.

 

(b)                                 Since
the date as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein, (i) there has been no
material adverse change or any development which could reasonably be expected
to give rise to a prospective material adverse change in or affecting the
condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or, to
the Company’s knowledge, business prospects of the

 

6

 

Company and the subsidiaries of the Company,
if any (the “Subsidiaries”) considered as one enterprise, whether or not
arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) there have been no
transactions entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than
those in the ordinary course of business, which are material with respect to
the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, and (iii) other

any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its shares of
equity securities.

 

(c)                                  The
Company has been duly organized as a corporation and is validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.  Each of the Subsidiaries of the Company has
been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of

and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the
Prospectus; and each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to
transact business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required,
whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of
business, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material
adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
business affairs or, to the Company’s knowledge, business prospects of the
Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.

 

(d)                                 As
of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consisted of

unissued.  The issued and outstanding
shares of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable; the Capital Shares have been duly authorized,

Preferred Stock of the Company conform to all statements relating thereto
contained in the Prospectus; and the issuance of the Capital Shares is not
subject to preemptive or other similar rights.

 

(e)                                  Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its organizational
documents or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation,
agreement, covenant or condition contained in any material contract, indenture,
mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument or agreement to which
the Company or any of

 

7

 

its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or
any of them are bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is subject except where such violation or default
would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or
otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or, to the Company’s knowledge,
business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and
the issuance and delivery of the Securities and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein have been duly authorized by all necessary action
and will not conflict with or constitute a material breach of, or material
default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any material property or assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant to, any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan
agreement, note, lease or other instrument or agreement to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them are bound, or
to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is subject, nor will any such action result in any violation of
the provisions of the Charter of the Company, as amended and supplemented,
by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court
decree applicable to the Company.

 

(f)                                    The
Company is organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and,
as of the date hereof and as of each Closing, operates in a manner that qualifies
it as a “real estate investment trust” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and will be so
qualified after giving effect to the sale of the Securities.

 

(g)                                 The
Company is not required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.

 

(h)                                 No
legal or governmental proceedings are pending to which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party or to which the property of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is subject that are required to be described in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus and are not described therein, and no
such proceedings have been threatened against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or with respect to any of their respective properties that are
required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and
are not described therein.

 

(i)                                     No
authorization, approval or consent of any court or United States federal or
state governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the sale
of the Securities as contemplated hereunder, except such as may be required under
the Act or the Regulations or state securities laws or real estate syndication
laws.

 

(j)                                     The
Company and its Subsidiaries possess such certificates, authorities or permits
issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or
bodies necessary to conduct the business now conducted by them, except where
the failure to possess

 

8

 

such certificates, authority or permits would
not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or
the earnings, business affairs or, to the Company’s knowledge, business
prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.  Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit which, singly or
in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding,
would materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or
the earnings, business affairs or, to the Company’s knowledge, business
prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, nor,
to the knowledge of the Company, are any such proceedings threatened or
contemplated.

 

(k)                                  The
Company has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and this
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms except as may be limited by (i) the
effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors or (ii) the
effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law and the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

 

(l)                                     As
of the dates set forth therein or incorporated by reference, the Company had
good and marketable title to all of the properties and assets reflected in the
audited financial statements contained in the Prospectus, subject to no lien,
mortgage, pledge or encumbrance of any kind except (i) those reflected in
such financial statements, (ii) as are otherwise described in the
Prospectus, (iii) as do not materially adversely affect the value of such
property or interests or interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of
such property or interests by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries or (iv) which
constitute customary provisions of mortgage loans secured by the Company’s
properties creating obligations of the Company with respect to proceeds of the
properties, environmental liabilities and other customary protections for the
mortgagees.

 

(m)                               Any
certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Placement
Agent or to counsel for the Placement Agent shall be deemed a representation
and warranty by the Company to the Placement Agent as to the matters covered
thereby.

 

(n)                                 Neither
the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities nor the application of the
proceeds thereof by the Company as described in the Prospectus will cause the
Company to violate or be in violation of Regulation T, U or X of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such
Board of Governors.

 

(o)                                 The
statements set forth in the Basic Prospectus under the caption “Description of
Our Common Stock” in so far as such statements purport to summarize provisions
of laws or documents referred to therein, are correct in all material respects
and fairly present the information required to be presented therein.

 

9

 

(p)                                 There
is no contract, agreement, indenture or other document to which the Company or
of its Subsidiary is a party required to be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004
or any subsequent Exchange Act filings prior to the date hereof that has not
been so filed as required.

 

5.                                       The
Placement Agent represents and warrants to the Company that (i) it is duly
registered and in good standing as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and
licensed or otherwise qualified to do business as a broker-dealer with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and in all states in
which it will offer any of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) assuming

with the offer and sale of the Securities, the Placement Agent will conduct all
offers and sales of the Securities in compliance with the relevant provisions
of the Act and the Regulations and various state securities laws and
regulations, (iii) the Placement Agent will only act as agent in those
jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do so and (iv) the Placement
Agent will not distribute to any Purchaser, Investment Advisor or Broker-Dealer
any written material relating to the offering contemplated hereby other than

6.                                       Except
