Dear Susan,

Libbey Inc. (the "Corporation") considers it essential to the best interests of
its shareholders to foster the continuous employment of key management
personnel. In connection with this, the Corporation's Board of Directors (the
"Board") recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations,
the possibility of a change in control of the Corporation may exist and that the
uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management could result in the
departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the
Corporation and its shareholders.

The Board has decided to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and
dedication of members of the Corporation's management, including yourself, to
their assigned duties without the distraction arising from the possibility of a
change in control of the Corporation.

In order to induce you to remain in its employ, the Corporation hereby agrees
that after this letter agreement (this "Agreement") has been fully executed, you
shall receive the severance benefits set forth in this Agreement in the event
your employment with the Corporation is terminated under the circumstances
described below subsequent to a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2).

1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall
continue in effect through December 31, 2003; provided, however, that commencing
on January 1, 2004 and on each January 1 thereafter, the term of this Agreement
shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not later than
September 30 of the preceding year, the Corporation shall have given notice that
it does not wish to extend this Agreement; provided, further, that if a Change
in Control (as defined in Section 2), occurs during the original or any extended
term of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall continue in effect for
a period of not less than thirty-six (36) months beyond the month in which such
Change in Control occurred.

2. Change in Control. No benefits shall be payable hereunder unless there has
been a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control
shall be deemed to occur if:

<PAGE>

Page Two

                  (a) any Person (as defined below) is or becomes the Beneficial
Owner (as defined below), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Corporation representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting
power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Person" is used as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");
provided, however, that the term shall not include the Corporation, any trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the
Corporation, and any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the
shareholders of the Corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of stock of the Corporation, and provided further that for purposes of
this subsection (a) the term person shall not apply to Baron Capital Group,
Inc., BAMCO, Inc., Baron Capital Management, Inc., Baron Asset Fund or Ronald
Baron (collectively the "Baron Group"), by virtue of their individual or
collective beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation's outstanding
securities as of the date of this letter so long as the Baron Group does not
individually or collectively, beneficially own, or increase such beneficial
ownership to, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of
the corporation's then outstanding securities. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term "Beneficial Owner" shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act;

                  (b) during any period of two (2) consecutive years (not
including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who
at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director
(other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement
with the Corporation to effect a transaction described in Sections 2(a), (c) or
(d)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Corporation's
shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the
period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved
(hereinafter referred to as "Continuing Directors"), cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof;

                  (c) the shareholders of the Corporation approve a merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation (or other entity),
other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities
of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent
(either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of
the surviving entity) more than 66 2/3% of the combined voting power of the
voting securities of the Corporation or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation;

                  (d) the shareholders of the Corporation approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Corporation or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Corporation of all or substantially all of the Corporation's
assets; or

<PAGE>

Page Three

(e) any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Corporation representing ten percent (10%) or more of the
combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities (a "10%
Owner") and (A) the identity of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation
is changed during the period beginning sixty (60) days before the attainment of
the ten percent (10%) beneficial ownership and ending two (2) years thereafter,
or (B) individuals constituting at least one-third (1/3) of the members of the
Board at the beginning of such period shall cease for any reason to serve on the
Board during the period beginning sixty (60) days before the attainment of the
ten percent (10%) beneficial ownership and ending two (2) years thereafter;
provided, however, (i) that this subsection (e) shall not apply to (i) any
Person who is a 10% Owner as of the date hereof so long as such Person does not
increase such beneficial ownership by five percent (5%) or more over the
percentage so owned by such Person as of the date hereof; (ii) that this
subsection (e) shall not apply to the Baron Group by virtue of their individual
or collective beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation's
outstanding securities as of the date of this letter so long as the Baron Group
does not individually or collectively, beneficially own, or increase such
beneficial ownership to, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined
voting power of the corporation's then outstanding securities, and (iii) that
this subsection (e) shall not apply to Ariel Capital Management ("Ariel") by
virtue of its beneficial ownership of the Corporation's outstanding securities
as of the date of this Agreement so long as Ariel does not beneficially own, or
increase such beneficial ownership to, twenty percent (20%) or more of the
combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities.

3. Termination Following Change in Control.

            (i) General. During the term of this Agreement, if any of the events
described in Section 2 constituting a Change in Control shall have occurred, you
shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 4(ii) upon the subsequent
termination of your employment, provided that such termination occurs during the
term of this Agreement and within the two (2) year period immediately following
the date of such Change in Control, unless such termination is (a) because of
your death or Disability (as defined in Section 3(ii)), (b) by the Corporation
for Cause (as defined in Section 3(iii)), or (c) by you other than (1) for Good
Reason (as defined in Section 3(iv)), or (2) in a Covered Resignation (as
defined in Section 3(v)). In the event that you are entitled to such benefits,
such benefits shall be paid notwithstanding the subsequent expiration of the
term of this Agreement. In the event your employment with the Corporation is
terminated for any reason and subsequently a Change in Control occurs, you shall
not be entitled to any benefits hereunder.

            (ii) Disability. If, as a result of your incapacity due to physical
or mental illness, you shall have been absent from the full-time performance of
your duties with the Corporation for six (6) consecutive months, and within
thirty (30) days after written notice of termination is given you shall not have
returned to the full-time performance of your duties, your employment may be
terminated for "Disability."

<PAGE>

Page Four

            (iii) Cause. Termination by the Corporation of your employment for
"Cause" shall mean termination (a) upon your willful and continued failure to
substantially perform your duties with the Corporation (other than any such
failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any
such actual or anticipated failure after your issuance of a Notice of
Termination (as defined in Section 3(vi)) either (x) for Good Reason, or (y) in
connection with a Covered Resignation, after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to you by the Board, which demand specifically
identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not
substantially performed your duties, (b) upon your willful and continued failure
to substantially follow and comply with the specific and lawful directives of
the Board, as reasonably determined by the Board (other than any such failure
resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such
actual or anticipated failure after your issuance of a Notice of Termination for
Good Reason or in connection with a Covered Resignation), after a written demand
for substantial performance is delivered to you by the Board, which demand
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that you have not
substantially performed your duties, (c) upon your willful commission of an act
of fraud or dishonesty resulting in material economic or financial injury to the
Corporation, or (d) upon your willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross
misconduct, in each case which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the
Corporation. For purposes of this Section 3(iii), no act, or failure to act, on
your part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by you
not in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed
terminated for Cause pursuant to Sections 3(iii)(a), (b) or (d) hereof unless
and until there shall have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly
adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the
entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board (after reasonable
notice to you, an opportunity for you, together with your counsel, to be heard
before the Board and a reasonable opportunity to cure), finding that in the
Board's good faith opinion you were guilty of conduct set forth above in this
Section 3(iii) and specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail.

            (iv) Good Reason. You shall be entitled to terminate your employment
for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean,
without your express written consent, the occurrence after a Change in Control
of any of the following circumstances unless, in the case of Sections 3(iv)(a),
(e), (f), (g), (h) or (i), such circumstances

<PAGE>

Page Five

are fully corrected (provided such circumstances are capable of correction)
prior to the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 3(vii)) specified in the
Notice of Termination given in respect thereof:

                  (a) the assignment to you of any duties inconsistent with the
position in the Corporation that you held immediately prior to the Change in
Control, a significant adverse alteration in the nature or status of your
responsibilities or the conditions of your employment from those in effect
immediately prior to such Change in Control, including by virtue of the
Corporation ceasing to be a publicly-held corporation, or any other action by
the Corporation that results in a material diminution in your position,
authority, duties or responsibilities;

                  (b) the Corporation's reduction of your annual base salary as
in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time;

                  (c) the relocation of the Corporation's offices at which you
are principally employed immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control
(your "Principal Location") to a location more than thirty (30) miles from such
location, or the Corporation's requiring you, without your written consent, to
be based anywhere other than your Principal Location, except for required travel
on the Corporation's business to an extent substantially consistent with your
present business travel obligations;

                  (d) the Corporation's failure to pay to you any portion of
your current compensation or to pay to you any portion of an installment of
deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Corporation
within seven (7) days of the date such compensation is due;

                  (e) the Corporation's failure to continue in effect any
material compensation or benefit plan or practice in which you participate
immediately prior to the Change in Control, unless an equitable arrangement
(embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with
respect to such plan, or the Corporation's failure to continue your
participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not
materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and
the level of your participation relative to other participants, as existed at
the time of the Change in Control;

<PAGE>
Page Six

                  (f) the Corporation's failure to continue to provide you with
benefits substantially similar in the aggregate to those enjoyed by you under
any of the Corporation's life insurance, medical, health and accident,
disability, pension, retirement, or other benefit plans or practices in which
you and your eligible family members were participating at the time of the
Change in Control, the taking of any action by the Corporation which would
directly or indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits, or the failure by
the Corporation to provide you with the number of paid vacation days to which
you are entitled on the basis of years of service with the Corporation in
accordance with the Corporation's normal vacation policy in effect at the time
of the Change in Control;

                  (g) the Corporation's failure to obtain a satisfactory
agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as
contemplated in Section 6 hereof;

                  (h) any purported termination of your employment that is not
effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of
Section 3(vi) hereof (and, if applicable, the requirements of Section 3(iii)
hereof), which purported termination shall not be effective for purposes of this
Agreement; or

                  (i) the continuation or repetition, after written notice of
objection from you, of harassing or denigrating treatment of you inconsistent
with your position with the Corporation.

Your right to terminate your employment pursuant to this Section 3(iv) shall not
be affected by your incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Your continued
employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect
to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder.

            (v) Voluntary Termination and Covered Resignation. You shall be
entitled to voluntarily terminate your employment for any reason or no reason at
any time after a Change in Control. Any such termination which occurs within the
thirty (30) day period following the first anniversary of the occurrence of a
Change in Control shall constitute a resignation which entitles you to receive
benefits under this Agreement (a "Covered Resignation").

<PAGE>

Page Seven

            (vi) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of your
employment by the Corporation or by you (other than termination due to death
which shall terminate your employment automatically) shall be communicated by
written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with
Section 7. "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice that shall indicate the
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth
in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of your employment under the provision so indicated.

            (vii) Date of Termination, Etc. "Date of Termination" shall mean (a)
if your employment is terminated due to your death, the date of your death; (b)
if your employment is terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after Notice
of Termination is given (provided that you shall not have returned to the
full-time performance of your duties during such thirty (30) day period), and
(c) if your employment is terminated pursuant to Section 3(iii), Section 3(iv)
or Section 3(v) or for any other reason (other than death or Disability), the
date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination
for Cause shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of
Termination is given, and in the case of a termination for Good Reason or in
connection with a Covered Resignation shall not be less than fifteen (15) nor
more than sixty (60) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(vii), if
within fifteen (15) days after any Notice of Termination is given, the party
receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute
exists concerning the termination, then the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written
agreement of the parties, or otherwise; provided, however, that the Date of
Termination shall be extended by a notice of dispute only if such notice is
given in good faith and the party giving such notice pursues the resolution of
such dispute with reasonable diligence.

4. Compensation Upon Termination.

            Following a Change in Control during the term of this Agreement, you
shall be entitled to the benefits described below upon termination of your
employment, provided that such termination occurs during the term of this
Agreement and within the two (2) year period immediately following the date of
such Change in Control. The benefits to which you are entitled, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, are:

<PAGE>

Page Eight

            (i) If your employment shall be terminated by the Corporation for
Cause or by you other than (x) for Good Reason or (y) pursuant to a Covered
Resignation, the Corporation shall pay you your full base salary, when due,
through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of
Termination is given, plus all other amounts to which you are entitled under any
compensation plan or practice of the Corporation at the time such payments are
due, and the Corporation shall have no further obligations to you under this
Agreement.

            (ii) If your employment by the Corporation shall be terminated by
you (x) for Good Reason or (y) pursuant to a Covered Resignation, or by the
Corporation other than for Cause or Disability, then you shall be entitled to
the benefits provided below:

                  (a) the Corporation shall pay to you your full base salary,
when due, through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time
Notice of Termination is given, at the time specified in Section 4(iii), plus
all other amounts to which you are entitled under any compensation plan or
practice of the Corporation at the time such payments are due;

                  (b) in lieu of any further salary payments to you for periods
subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Corporation shall pay as severance
pay to you, at the time specified in Section 4(iii), a lump-sum severance
payment (together with the payments provided in Section 4(ii)(c) below, the
"Severance Payments") equal to the sum of the following:

                        (A)   three (3) times your annual base salary as in
                              effect as of the Date of Termination or
                              immediately prior to the Change in Control,
                              whichever is greater; and

                        (B)   three (3) times the greater of (x) your targeted
                              annual bonus as in effect as of the Date of
                              Termination or immediately prior to the Change in
                              Control, whichever is greater, or (y) your annual
                              bonus for the year immediately preceding the Date
                              of Termination;

<PAGE>

Page Nine

                  (c) notwithstanding any provisions of the Corporation's stock
option plans, incentive plans, or other similar plans, the restricted period
with respect to any restricted stock granted to you thereunder shall lapse and
such shares shall be distributed to you at the time specified in Section 4(iii);

                  (d) for a period of one (1) year following the Date of
Termination, the Corporation shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide you
with financial planning services of substantially the same type and scope as
those which the Corporation was providing to you immediately prior to the Date
of Termination, or, if more favorable to you, the date of the Change in Control;

                  (e) for a period of two (2) years following the Date of
Termination, the Corporation shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide you
with outplacement services, the scope and provider of which shall be selected by
you in your sole discretion;

                  (f) for a thirty-six (36) month period after such termination,
the Corporation shall continue to provide you and your eligible family members,
based on the cost sharing arrangement between you and the Corporation on the
date of the Change in Control, with medical and dental health benefits at least
equal to those which would have been provided to you and them if your employment
had not been terminated or, if more favorable to you, as in effect generally at
any time thereafter; provided, however, that if you become re-employed with
another employer and are eligible to receive medical and dental health benefits
under another employer's plans, the Corporation's obligations under this Section
4(ii)(f) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually
received by you during the thirty-six (36) month period following your
termination, and any such benefits actually received by you shall be reported to
the Corporation. In the event you are ineligible under the terms of such benefit
plans or programs to continue to be so covered, the Corporation shall provide
you with substantially equivalent coverage through other sources or will provide
you with a lump-sum payment in such amount that, after all taxes on that amount,
shall be equal to the cost to you of providing yourself such benefit coverage.
At the termination of the benefits coverage under the second preceding sentence,
you, your spouse and your dependents shall be entitled to continuation coverage
pursuant to section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), sections 601-608 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as

<PAGE>

Page Ten

amended, and under any other applicable law, to the extent required by such
laws, as if you had terminated employment with the Corporation on the date such
benefits coverage terminates. The lump-sum shall be determined on a present
value basis using the interest rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the
Code on the Date of Termination.

            (g) (1) anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
if it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to you or for your
benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable) pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the "Payment") would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then you
shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation an additional payment (the
"Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that the net amount of the Payment and the
Gross-Up Payment retained by you after the calculation and deduction of all
Excise Taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes) on the payment and all federal, state and local income tax, employment
tax and Excise Tax (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to
such taxes) on the Gross-Up Payment provided for in this Section 4(ii)(g), and
taking into account any lost or reduced tax deductions on account of the
Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Payment;

            (2) all determinations required to be made under this Section
4(ii)(g), including whether and when the Gross-Up Payment is required and the
amount of such Gross-Up Payment, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving
at such determinations shall be made by the Accountants (as defined below) which
shall provide you and the Corporation with detailed supporting calculations with
respect to such Gross-Up Payment within fifteen (15) business days of the
receipt of notice from you or the Corporation that you have received or will
receive a Payment. For the purposes of this Section 4(ii)(g), the "Accountants"
shall mean the Corporation's independent certified public accountants serving
immediately prior to the Change in Control. In the event that the Accountants
are also serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group
effecting the Change in Control, you shall appoint another nationally recognized
public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which
accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accountants hereunder). All
fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne solely by the Corporation.
For the purposes of determining whether any of the Payments will be subject to
the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, such Payments will be treated
as "parachute payments" within the meaning of section 280G of

<PAGE>

Page Eleven

the Code, and all "parachute payments" in excess of the "base amount" (as
defined under section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the
Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that in the opinion of the
Accountants such Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute
"parachute payments" or represent reasonable compensation for services actually
rendered (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) in excess of the
"base amount," or such "parachute payments" are otherwise not subject to such
Excise Tax. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, you
shall be deemed to pay Federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal
rate of Federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up
Payment is to be made and to pay any applicable state and local income taxes at
the highest applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which
the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal
income taxes which could be obtained from the deduction of such state or local
taxes if paid in such year (determined without regard to limitations on
deductions based upon the amount of your adjusted gross income), and to have
otherwise allowable deductions for Federal, state and local income tax purposes
at least equal to those disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up
Payment in your adjusted gross income. To the extent practicable, any Gross-Up
Payment with respect to any Payment shall be paid by the Corporation at the time
you are entitled to receive the Payment and in no event will any Gross-Up
Payment be paid later than five days after the receipt by you of the
Accountant's determination. Any determination by the Accountants shall be
binding upon the Corporation and you. As a result of uncertainty in the
application of section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination
by the Accountants hereunder, it is possible that the Gross-Up Payment made will
have been an amount less than the Corporation should have paid pursuant to this
Section 4(ii)(g) (the "Underpayment"). In the event that the Corporation
exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 4(ii)(g)(3) and you are required to
make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the
Corporation to or for your benefit; and

<PAGE>

Page Twelve

            (3) you shall notify the Corporation in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Corporation of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable after you are informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise
the Corporation of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is
requested to be paid. You shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of
the 30-day period following the date on which you give such notice to the
Corporation (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of
taxes, interest and/or penalties with respect to such claim is due). If the
Corporation notifies you in writing prior to the expiration of such period that
it desires to contest such claim, you shall:

                  (A) give the Corporation any information reasonably requested
by the Corporation relating to such claim;

                  (B) take such action in connection with contesting such claim
as the Corporation shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to
such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Corporation;

                  (C) cooperate with the Corporation in good faith in order to
effectively contest such claim; and

                  (D) permit the Corporation to participate in any proceedings
relating to such claims;

provided, however, that the Corporation shall bear and pay directly all costs
and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify you for and hold you harmless
from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest
and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation
and payment of all related costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4(ii)(g), the Corporation shall control all
proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may
pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and
conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its
sole option, either direct you to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or
contest the claim in any permissible manner,

<PAGE>

Page Thirteen

and you agree to prosecute such contest to a determination before any
administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more
appellate courts, as the Corporation shall determine; provided, however, that if
the Corporation directs you to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the
Corporation shall advance the amount of such payment to you, on an interest-free
basis, and shall indemnify you for and hold you harmless from, on an after-tax
basis, any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with
respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any
imputed income with respect to such advance (including as a result of any
forgiveness by the Corporation of such advance); provided, further, that any
extension of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of taxes for the
taxable year of you with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be
due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Corporation's
control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a
Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and you shall be entitled to settle
or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue
Service or any other taxing authority;

            (h) in any situation where under applicable law the Corporation has
the power to indemnify (or advance expenses to) you in respect of any judgments,
fines, settlements, loss, cost or expense (including attorneys' fees) of any
nature related to or arising out of your activities as an agent, employee,
officer or director of the Corporation or in any other capacity on behalf of or
at the request of the Corporation, the Corporation shall promptly on written
request, indemnify (and advance expenses to) you to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, including but not limited to making such findings and
determinations and taking any and all such actions as the Corporation may, under
applicable law, be permitted to have the discretion to take so as to effectuate
such indemnification or advancement. Such agreement by the Corporation shall not
be deemed to impair any other obligation of the Corporation respecting your
indemnification otherwise arising out of this or any other agreement or promise
of the Corporation or under any statute;

            (i) the Corporation shall furnish you for six (6) years following
the Date of Termination (without reference to whether the term of this Agreement
continues in effect) with directors' and officers' liability insurance insuring
you against insurable events which occur or have occurred while you were a
director or officer of the

<PAGE>

Page Fourteen

Corporation, such insurance to have policy limits aggregating not less than the
amount in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, and otherwise to be
in substantially the same form and to contain substantially the same terms,
conditions and exceptions as the liability issuance policies provided for
officers and directors of the Corporation in force from time to time, provided,
however, that such terms, conditions and exceptions shall not be, in the
aggregate, materially less favorable to you than those in effect on the date
hereof; provided, further, that if the aggregate annual premiums for such
insurance at any time during such period exceed one hundred and fifty percent
(150%) of the per annum rate of premium currently paid by the Corporation for
such insurance, then the Corporation shall provide the maximum coverage that
will then be available at an annual premium equal to one hundred and fifty
percent (150%) of such rate; and

            (j) you shall be fully vested in your accrued benefits under any
qualified or nonqualified pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation or
supplemental plans maintained by the Corporation for your benefit, and the
Corporation shall provide you with additional fully vested benefits under such
plans in an amount equal to the benefits which you would have accrued had you
continued your employment with the Corporation for three (3) additional years
following your Date of Termination; provided, however, that to the extent that
the acceleration of vesting or enhanced accrual of such benefits would violate
any applicable law or require the Corporation to accelerate the vesting of the
accrued benefits of all participants in such plan or plans or to provide
additional benefit accruals to such participants, the Corporation shall pay you
a lump-sum payment at the time specified in Section 4(iii) in an amount equal to
the value of such benefits; provided, further, that to the extent that the
present value of all benefits payable to you under this Section 4(ii)(j) is less
than $250,000, the Corporation shall pay you a lump-sum payment at the time
specified in Section 4(iii) in an amount equal to the difference between
$250,000 and the amount of such benefits which are otherwise payable to you
under this Section 4(ii)(j); provided, further, that if you are eligible to
receive grandfathered benefits under the Corporation's pension plan, the
provisions of this Section 4(ii)(j) shall apply to such grandfathered benefits,
without reduction for age, in addition to any other benefits to which you are
entitled under this Section 4(ii)(j).

<PAGE>

Page Fifteen

            (iii) The payments provided for in Sections 4(ii)(a), (b), (c), (d)
and (j) shall be made not later than the fifth day following the Date of
Termination; provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be
finally determined on or before such day, the Corporation shall pay to you on
such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Corporation, of the
minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments
(together with interest at the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the
Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but in no event later than
the thirtieth day after the Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of
the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been
due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Corporation to you, payable on
the fifth day after demand by the Corporation (together with interest at the
rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

            (iv) You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise nor,
except as provided in Section 4(ii)(f), shall the amount of any payment or
benefit provided for in this Section 4 be reduced by any compensation earned by
you as the result of employment by another employer or self-employment, by
retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by you to
the Corporation, or otherwise.

5. Acceleration of Vesting of Options. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein, in the event of a Change in Control during the term of this Agreement,
all outstanding options ("Options"), if any, granted to you under any of the
Corporation's stock option plans, incentive plans or other similar plans (or
options substituted therefor covering the stock of a successor corporation)
shall, effective immediately prior to such Change in Control, become fully
vested and exercisable as to all shares of stock covered thereby.

6. Successors; Binding Agreement.

            (i) The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation to expressly
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Corporation would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. Failure of the Corporation to obtain such assumption
and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a
breach of this Agreement and shall entitle you to terminate your employment and
receive compensation from the Corporation in the same amount and on the same
terms to which you would be entitled hereunder if you terminate your employment
for Good Reason following a Change in Control, except that for purposes of
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes
effective shall be

<PAGE>

Page Sixteen

deemed the Date of Termination. Unless expressly provided otherwise,
"Corporation" as used herein shall mean the Corporation as defined in this
Agreement and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid.

            (ii) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by you and your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If you should die while
any amount would still be payable to you hereunder had you continued to live,
all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or other designee or,
if there is no such designee, to your estate.

7. Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of this
Agreement, provided that all notices to the Corporation shall be directed to the
attention of the Board with a copy to the Secretary of the Corporation, or to
such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in
accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective
only upon receipt.

8. Non- Compete, Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Covenants.

            (i) Non-Compete. In consideration of and in connection with the
benefits provided to you under this Agreement, and in order to protect the
goodwill of the Corporation, you hereby agree that, if your employment is
terminated pursuant to a Covered Resignation, then, for a period of twelve (12)
months commencing on the Date of Termination, you shall not, directly or
indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership,
management, operation or control of, or be connected as a director, officer,
employee, partner, consultant or otherwise with any of the following entities
(or any subsidiary of any such entity) other than as a shareholder or beneficial
owner owning 5% or less of the outstanding securities of a public company:
Durand International, the Anchor Hocking unit of Newell Co., Cardinal
International, Inc., the Indiana Glass unit of Lancaster Colony Corporation,
Oneida LTD or any glass tableware manufacturer, seller or importer for Bormioli
Rocco Casa SpA, for the Kedaung group of companies of Indonesia or for the
Sisecam group of companies of Turkey including Pasabahce.

<PAGE>

            (ii) Confidentiality. You hereby agree that, for the period
commencing on the Date of Termination and terminating on the third anniversary
thereof, you shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or make available to
any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or
purpose whatsoever, any Confidential Information (as defined below). You agree
that, upon termination of your employment with the Corporation, all Confidential
Information in your possession that is in written or other tangible form
(together with all copies or duplicates thereof, including computer files) shall
be returned to the Corporation and shall not be retained by you or furnished to
any third party, in any form except as provided herein; provided, however, that
you shall not be obligated to treat as confidential, or return to the

            (iii) Corporation copies of any Confidential Information that (i)
was publicly known at the time of disclosure to you, (ii) becomes publicly known
or available thereafter other than by any means in violation of this Agreement
or any other duty owed to the Corporation by any person or entity, or (iii) is
lawfully disclosed to you by a third party. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Confidential Information" means: information disclosed to you or known by you
as a consequence of or through your relationship with the Corporation, about the
customers, employees, business methods, public relations methods, organization,
procedures or finances, including, without limitation, information of or
relating to customer lists, of the Corporation and its affiliates.

            (iv) Non-Solicitation. You hereby agree that, for the period

directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit away from the Corporation
any of its officers or employees or offer employment to any person who, on or
during the six (6) months immediately preceding the date of such solicitation or
offer, is or was an officer or employee of the Corporation; provided, however,
that a general advertisement to which an employee of the Corporation responds
shall in no event be deemed to result in a breach of this Section 8(iii).

9. Funding of Obligations. Within a reasonable time following the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by you and the Corporation, the Corporation shall
partially fund its obligations to provide benefits hereunder (including, without
limitation, its obligations under Section 4(ii)(g)) by establishing and
irrevocably partially funding a trust for your benefit and the benefit of other
executives of the Corporation with whom

<PAGE>

Page Eighteen

the Corporation has entered into agreements similar to this Agreement. The
Corporation shall initially contribute $1000 to such trust. Such trust shall be
a grantor trust described in section 671 of the Code. Upon the occurrence of a
Potential Change in Control (as defined below), the Corporation shall fully fund
its obligations to provide benefits hereunder (including, without limitation,
its obligations under Section 4(ii)(g)) by irrevocably contributing funds to
such trust on your behalf. The amount of such contribution shall equal the then
present value of the Corporation's obligations under Section 4 hereof as
determined by the firms serving as the Corporation's actuaries and accountants
immediately prior to the Change in Control. Such actuaries and accountants shall
be paid by the Corporation. The establishment and funding of such trust shall
not affect the obligation of the Corporation to provide benefits under the terms
of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement a "Potential Change in
Control" shall be deemed to occur if:

            (a) the Corporation enters into an agreement, the consummation of
which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control;

            (b) any Person (including the Corporation) publicly announces an
intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if consummated, would
constitute a Change in Control;

                  (c) any Person who is or becomes the Beneficial Owner,
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing ten
percent (10%) or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then
outstanding securities, increases such Person's beneficial ownership of such
securities by five percent (5%) or more of the Corporation's then outstanding
securities over the percentage so owned by such Person on the date hereof
provided however, (i) that this subsection (c) shall not apply to the Baron
Group by virtue of their individual or collective beneficial ownership of
securities of the Corporation's outstanding securities as of the date of this
letter so long as the Baron Group does not individually or collectively,
beneficially own, or increase such beneficial ownership to, twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the combined voting power of the corporation's then outstanding
securities, and (ii) that this subsection (c) shall not apply to Ariel by virtue
of its beneficial ownership of the Corporation's outstanding securities as of
the date of this Agreement so long as Ariel does not beneficially own, or
increase such beneficial ownership to, twenty percent (20%) or more of the
combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities; or

            (d) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes
of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has occurred.

10. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
and signed by you and such officer as may be specifically designated by the
Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other
party hereto of or

<PAGE>

Page Nineteen

compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by
such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or
representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the
subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set
forth in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio
without regard to its conflicts of law principles. All references to sections of
the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor
provisions to such sections. Except as provided in Section 4(ii)(g) hereunder,
any payments provided for hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable
withholding required under federal, state or local law. The obligations of the
Corporation under Section 4 shall survive the expiration of the term of this
Agreement. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience
only, and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

11. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

13. Suits, Actions, Proceedings, Etc..

            (i) Jurisdiction and Venue. No suit, action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement, nor any judgment entered by any court in respect
thereof, may be brought in any court, domestic or foreign, or before any similar
domestic or foreign authority, other than in a court of competent jurisdiction
in the State of Ohio, and you and the Corporation hereby irrevocably waive any
right which you or the Corporation, as applicable, may otherwise have had to
bring such a suit, action, proceeding or judgment in any other court, domestic
or foreign, or before any similar domestic or foreign authority. You and the
Corporation hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdictions of such courts for the
purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment. By your execution and
delivery of this Agreement, you appoint the Secretary of the Corporation, at the
Corporation's office in Toledo, Ohio, as your agent upon which process may be
served in any such suit, action or proceeding; and by its execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the Corporation appoints the Secretary of the Corporation, at

such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process upon such applicable agent,
together

<PAGE>

Page Twenty

with actual notice of such service given to you or the Corporation, as
applicable, in the manner provided in Section 7 hereof, shall be deemed in every
respect effective service of process upon the applicable party in any suit,
action, proceeding or judgment. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the
ability of you or the Corporation to serve any such writs, process or summonses
in any other manner permitted by applicable law. You and the Corporation hereby
irrevocably waive any objections which you or the Corporation, as applicable,
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of
competent jurisdiction in the State of Ohio, and hereby further irrevocably
waive any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that no court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Ohio will
accept such jurisdiction and venue, then any suit, action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement, or any judgment entered by any court in respect
thereof, may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the
continental United States which has jurisdiction over such suit, proceeding or
action and the parties thereto.

            (ii) Compensation During Dispute, Etc.. Your compensation during any
disagreement, dispute, controversy, claim, suit, action or proceeding
(collectively, a "Dispute") arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
interpretation of this Agreement shall be as follows:

            If there is a termination by you or the Corporation followed by a
Dispute as to whether you are entitled to the payments and other benefits
provided under this Agreement, then, during the period of that Dispute the
Corporation shall pay you fifty percent (50%) of the amount specified in
Sections 4(ii)(a) and 4(ii)(b) hereof, and the Corporation shall provide you
with the other benefits provided in Section 4(ii) of this Agreement, if, but
only if, you agree in writing that if the Dispute is resolved against you, you
shall promptly refund to the Corporation all payments you receive under Sections
4(ii)(a) and 4(ii)(b) of this Agreement plus interest at the rate provided in
Section 1274(d) of the Code, compounded quarterly. If the Dispute is resolved in
your favor, promptly after resolution of the dispute the Corporation shall pay
you the sum that was withheld during the period of the Dispute plus interest at
the rate provided in Section 1274(d) of the Code, compounded quarterly.

            (iii) Legal Fees. The Corporation shall pay to you all legal fees
and expenses incurred by you in connection with any Dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the interpretation thereof (including, without
limitation, all such fees

<PAGE>

Page Twenty-One

and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any termination of
your employment or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided
by this Agreement, or in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the
extent attributable to the application of section 4999 of the Code to any
payment or benefit provided hereunder).

14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the
parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes
all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications,
representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee
or representative of any party hereto; and any prior agreement of the parties
hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein, including, without
limitation, any prior severance agreements, is hereby terminated and cancelled;
provided, however, that the Employment Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2003
by and between you and the Corporation, as amended, shall remain in full force
and effect and shall, pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof, provide
certain severance benefits to you upon certain terminations of employment. Any
of your rights hereunder shall be in addition to any rights you may otherwise
have under benefit plans or agreements of the Corporation to which you are a
party or in which you are a participant, including, but not limited to, any
Corporation sponsored employee benefit plans and stock options plans. Provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way abrogate your rights under such other
plans and agreements.

            If this letter sets forth our agreement on the subject matter
hereof, kindly sign and return to the Corporation the enclosed copy of this

                      THE TC OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

           THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

      THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP is
entered into effective as of the 4th day of August, 2003 (except as to the "LLC
Contributions" defined and described in the Recitals hereof and Section 3.3(c),
as to which the effective date shall be September 26, 2003), by and among THE
TOWN AND COUNTRY TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("TCT"); THE
TOWN AND COUNTRY ORIOLE CORPORATION ("TC-Oriole"), THE TOWN AND COUNTRY HOLDING
CORPORATION ("REIT Sub"), and THE TOWN AND COUNTRY HOLDING CORPORATION II ("REIT
Sub II"), each a Delaware corporation and each a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCT;
THE BAL-PENN COMPANY, an Ohio limited partnership ("Bal-Penn"); HARVEY SCHULWEIS
("Schulweis"); and PAUL E. TAYLOR, JR. ("Taylor"). TCT, TC-Oriole, REIT Sub and
REIT Sub II may be referred to individually as a "General Partner" and
collectively as the "General Partners". Bal-Penn, Schulweis, Taylor, and any
substitute or other Limited Partner admitted to the Partnership in accordance
with Article VIII may be referred to individually as a "Limited Partner" and
collectively as the "Limited Partners". The Limited Partners and the General
Partners may be referred to individually as a "Partner" and collectively as the
"Partners".

                                R E C I T A L S:

      TCT, TC-Oriole, Bal-Penn and Oriole formed a Maryland limited partnership
under the name and style of The TC Operating Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") upon the filing of a certificate of limited partnership with the
Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation on August 18, 1993 and the
execution of an Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership dated as of
August 18, 1993 (the "1993 Agreement"). Oriole assigned its interest in the
Partnership to TC-Oriole, Schulweis and Taylor on August 23, 1993.

      The Partners amended the 1993 Agreement effective as of January 25, 1995
and entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
effective as of such date, and further amended and restated the Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership effective as of January 31, 2001 (the
1993 Agreement, as so amended and restated, the "Prior Agreement").

      The Partners desire to amend the provisions of the Prior Agreement to
provide for and reflect the contribution of additional capital to the
Partnership by TCT in exchange for Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests,
and to make certain corresponding changes to the allocation provisions of the
Prior Agreement, as further described in Section 3.5 of this Agreement. Pursuant
to Section 12.4 of the Prior Agreement, this Third Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership has been approved by the General Partners and a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners.

      The Partners further wish to amend the provisions of the Prior Agreement
to provide for and reflect:

      (i) the formation by REIT Sub and REIT Sub II of wholly-owned subsidiaries
in the form of Delaware limited liability companies to be known as The Town and
Country Holding Company, LLC ("Holding") and The Town and Country Holding
Company II, LLC ("Holding II");

<PAGE>

      (ii) the contribution to Holding by REIT Sub of REIT Sub's 1% general
partnership interest in The TC Property Company, a Maryland general partnership
(the "Property Company"), and in each of the Original Companies, the New
Companies, The TC-Christina Mill Company, The TC-Stonegate Company, and The
TC-Carlyle Station Company (all such companies, collectively, the "First PC
Companies");

      (iii) the contribution to the Partnership by REIT Sub of REIT Sub's 100%
membership interest in Holding, and the issuance to REIT Sub in exchange
therefor of a general partnership interest in the Partnership;

      (iv) the contribution to Holding II by REIT Sub II of REIT Sub II's 1%
general partnership interest in The TC Property Company II, a Maryland general
partnership ("Property Company II"), and in each of the seven Maryland general
partnerships listed on Exhibit C hereto (all such companies, collectively, the
"PC II Companies"); and

      (v) the contribution to the Partnership by REIT Sub II of REIT Sub II's
100% membership interest in Holding II, and the issuance to REIT Sub II in
exchange therefor of a general partnership interest in the Partnership.

The foregoing series of transactions is referred to collectively herein as
the "LLC Contributions".

      Therefore, the undersigned, being the general partners and a majority in
interest of the limited partners of the Partnership, wish to amend and restate
the Prior Agreement and to supersede in its entirety the Prior Agreement.

                              A G R E E M E N T S:

            (ii) require partition of Partnership Property or compel any sales
      or appraisements of Partnership assets or sale of a deceased Partner's

            (v) Cause, permit or allow the Partnership to refinance any
      indebtedness secured by mortgages encumbering all or substantially all of
      the Properties, to increase or decrease the amount of such mortgage
      indebtedness other than by required amortization of principal, or
      otherwise to incur indebtedness other than in the ordinary course of the
      Partnership's business;

            (vi) Change the nature of the Partnership's business;

            (vii) Transfer their Partnership Interests to a person other than an

      Section 5.4 Reliance on Act of General Partners. No person dealing with
the General Partners, or any of them, shall be required to ascertain whether a
General Partner is acting in accordance with this Agreement, and such person
shall be protected in relying solely upon the

                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>

deed, transfer, or assurance of, and the execution of any instrument or
instruments by, such General Partner.

      Section 5.5 Liabilities of Partners.

      (a) None of the General Partners nor any of their trustees, directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable to the Partnership or to any other
Partner for any actions or omissions to act taken in good faith and reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Partnership, but shall be liable for
bad faith, willful misconduct, fraud, or gross negligence, provided that, no
individual trustee, director, officer, employee or agent of a General Partner
shall be liable to the Partnership or any Partner except for his or her own
fraud.. A General Partner shall remain liable for the obligations of the
Partnership incurred or arising out of its operations while it was a General
Partner, but not for obligations arising thereafter.

      (b) Except as required or otherwise provided by Section 7.6 or the Act, no
Limited Partner shall be (i) required to make any further contributions to the
capital of the Partnership to restore a loss, to discharge any liability of the
Partnership or for any other purpose, or (ii) personally liable for any
liabilities of the Partnership or the General Partners.

      Section 5.6 General Partner Loans. Any loan to the Partnership from a
General Partner shall be treated (except for tax purposes) as Partnership
indebtedness to an unrelated third party and shall be approved by the trustees
of TCT with the Consent of the Limited Partners.

      Section 5.7 Indemnification of General Partners. The Partnership shall
indemnify the General Partners and each trustee, director, officer, employee and
agent of the General Partners (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), to the
fullest extent permitted by law, and save and hold such Indemnified Parties
harmless from, and in respect of, (a) all Losses incurred in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, proceeding or demand against the Indemnified
Parties or the Partnership that arise out of or in any way relate to the
Partnership, its properties, business or affairs, and (b) any Losses resulting
from such claims, actions, proceedings and demands, including amounts paid in
settlement or compromise of any such claim, action, proceeding or demand;
provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
indemnification hereunder if and to the extent any Losses arise as a result of
such Indemnified Party's bad faith, willful misconduct, fraud, or gross
negligence. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not
of itself create a presumption that an Indemnified Party acted with bad faith,
willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence.

      Section 5.8 Tax Matters Partner. TCT shall be the Tax Matters Partner in
accordance with and subject to the provisions set forth on Exhibit F.

      Section 5.9 Operation in Accordance with REIT Requirements. The Partners
acknowledge and agree that the Partnership shall be operated in a manner that
will enable TCT to (a) satisfy the REIT Requirements and (b) avoid any federal
income or excise tax liability. The Partnership shall avoid taking any action,
or permitting any entity owned or controlled by it to take any action, which
would result in TCT ceasing to satisfy the REIT Requirements or would result in
the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability on TCT.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a majority of the trustees of TCT may waive
compliance with this Section 5.9 if such trustees determine that such
noncompliance would be in the best interests of TCT.

      Section 5.10 Refinancing of Certain Nonrecourse Liabilities. In the event
of a refinancing of Nonrecourse Liabilities to which the Properties are subject,
and subject to Section 5.3(b), the General Partners may secure the resulting
Nonrecourse Liabilities with Supplemental Properties through the use of
guarantees or direct issuance of notes or bonds and the execution and delivery
of mortgages, deeds of trust and related security documents in respect thereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                           Bankruptcy and Liquidation

      Section 6.1 Dissolution or Continuation of Partnership. In the event of an
"event of withdrawal" (as defined in Section 10402 of the Act as in effect on
the date of this Agreement) of, or in respect of, the sole remaining General
Partner, this Partnership shall dissolve unless the remaining Partners shall
unanimously elect to continue the Partnership within ninety (90) days after
notice of such event (it being understood that in the case of an event of
withdrawal under Section 10-402(4) such 90 day period shall commence after the
lapse of the 120 day period specified therein). In the absence of such an
election, the Partnership shall be dissolved on such ninetieth day. If the
election to continue the Partnership is made, the remaining Partner or Partners
(a) shall designate a new general partner who consents to and accepts such
designation and (b) shall have the option to either substitute the successor or
personal representative of the withdrawing General Partner as a Limited Partner
or to purchase the withdrawing General Partner's interest on such terms and
conditions as may be agreed upon by the parties. The new general partner shall
be subject to the same obligations as the General Partners under this Agreement.

      Section 6.2 Actions of the Limited Partners.

      In the event a Limited Partner shall do any of the following:

      (a)   file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy;

      (b)   be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent;

      (c)   (i) file a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization,
            arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or
            similar relief under any statute, law, or rule; or (ii) file an
            answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the
            material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such
            proceeding;

      (d)   die; or

      (e)   be dissolved;

then the legal representative or successor in interest automatically shall be
substituted as a Limited Partner upon compliance with the provisions of the Act;
provided that the estate of a deceased Partner shall be deemed an assignee of
such deceased Partner, and shall be admitted as a substitute Limited Partner
upon compliance with Section 8.4.

      Section 6.3 Withdrawal of Partners. No Partner shall be entitled to
withdraw from the Partnership other than in connection with (a) a transfer or
assignment of all of such Partner's Partnership Interest pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement or (b) dissolution and

                                     - 14 -

termination of the Partnership. The Partnership shall not be obligated to
purchase the interest of any withdrawing Partner, nor shall such Partner be
entitled to receive any payment or distribution from the Partnership in
connection with its withdrawal.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                           Dissolution of Partnership

      Section 7.1 Termination. The Partnership shall be terminated and dissolved
upon the first to occur of the following ("Liquidating Events"): (a) completion
of its term of years, (b) an event of withdrawal of a sole remaining General
Partner under Section 6.1 and the failure of the Partners to elect to continue
the business of the Partnership without liquidation pursuant to Section 6.1, or
(c) the voluntary dissolution of the Partnership by the General Partners with
the Consent of the Limited Partners. Upon the dissolution and the commencement
of the winding up of the Partnership, a certificate of cancellation shall be
filed pursuant to Section 10-203 of the Act.

      Section 7.2 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the
Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in
an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its
creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent
with the winding up of the Partnership's business and affairs. The General
Partners (or, if there is no General Partner, any person elected by a majority
in interest of the Percentage Interests) shall be responsible for overseeing the
winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the
Partnership's liabilities and Partnership Property, and the Partnership Property
shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value
thereof, and the assets of the Partnership or the proceeds therefrom, to the
extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following
order:

      (a) First, to the payment and discharge of all the Partnership's debts and
liabilities to creditors other than the General Partners, including the
establishment of any necessary reserves;

      (b) Second, to the payment and discharge of all the Partnership's debts
and liabilities to the General Partners;

      (c) Third, to the payment of the Liquidation Preference in respect of the
Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests; and

      (d) The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with their positive
Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and
allocations for all periods.

      Section 7.3 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Article VII, if the Partnership is liquidated within
the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)(3) but no Liquidating
Event has occurred, the Partnership Property shall not be liquidated, the
Partnership's liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership's
affairs shall not be wound up.

      Section 7.4 Accounting for Dissolution and Liquidation. Each Partner shall
be furnished with such statements concerning the dissolution and liquidation of
the Partnership as are prepared by the Partnership's accountants.

                                     - 15 -

      Section 7.5 Waiver of Appraisement. The provisions of Articles VI and VII
shall be in lieu of any statutory mode of settlement of the interest of a
Partner. An inventory and appraisement of the Partnership's assets and a sale of
a deceased Partner's interest therein are hereby waived and dispensed with, and,
in lieu thereof, the interest in the Partnership of a deceased Partner shall be
subject solely to the provisions of this Agreement.

      Section 7.6 Deficit Restoration Obligation. If there is a deficit in a
Partner's Capital Account following the liquidation of such Partner's interest
in the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), as determined after taking into account all Capital
Account adjustments for the taxable year of the Partnership in which such
liquidation occurs (other than those made as a result of this section), such
Partner will be unconditionally obligated to restore the amount of such deficit
balance by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within ninety (90) days
after the date of such liquidation), which amount shall, upon liquidation of the
Partnership, be applied and distributed in accordance with Section 7.2.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

           Sale of Partnership Interest; Admission of Limited Partners

      Section 8.1 General Partners. Without the Consent of the Limited Partners
and the approval of the remaining General Partner, the interests of a General
Partner shall not be transferable (other than to another General Partner);
provided, however, that the General Partners may reduce their Percentage
Interests in connection with the admission of additional Limited Partners
pursuant to Section 8.5.

      Section 8.2 Limited Partners' Right to Assign. (a) Subject to Sections
8.2(b), 8.3, 8.4 and 10.1, a Limited Partnership Interest shall be assignable,
in whole or in part, but the assignee shall not become a Limited Partner, except
pursuant to Section 8.4. An assignee who does not become a Limited Partner shall
have no rights hereunder except to receive any allocations or distributions
which (but for the assignment) would have been made to the assignor. Except as
provided in Section 6.2, no assignment of a Limited Partnership Interest shall
be effective as to the Partnership until a duplicate original copy of the
instrument of assignment, properly executed, shall have been received by the
Partnership.

      (b) Transfers of Limited Partnership Interests pursuant to the conversion
of Units shall not be subject to the restrictions and limitations of this
Article VIII.

      Section 8.3 Restrictions on Transfer of Limited Partnership Interest.
Except as provided in Sections 6.2 and 8.2(b), no transfer or assignment of a
Limited Partnership Interest shall be made unless the following conditions have
been met:

      (a) The General Partners may require as a condition of sale, exchange or
other transfer of any Limited Partnership Interest, that the transferor assume
any costs reasonably incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith.

      (b) No such assignment shall be made to a minor or incompetent.

      (c) No such assignment shall be made if, in the written opinion of counsel
to the Partnership, such assignment may not be effected without registration
under the Securities Act or would result in the violation of any applicable
state securities laws or would cause the

                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>

Partnership to become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

      (d) No Limited Partnership Interest or any portion thereof shall be
transferable or assignable to the extent that any such transfer or assignment
would result in the termination of the Partnership for Federal income tax
purposes or treatment of the Partnership as a publicly traded partnership under
Code Section 7704, except in the sole discretion of the General Partners, or to
the extent that such transfer would cause TCT to fail to satisfy the REIT
Requirements at any time at which such requirements are applicable to TCT.

Except as provided in Sections 6.2 and 8.2(b), any assignment, sale, exchange or
other transfer in contravention of the provisions hereof shall be void and shall
not bind the Partnership.

      Section 8.4 Substitute Limited Partners; Effect of Substitution and/or
Assignment.

      (a)   Except as provided in Sections 6.2 and 8.2(b), no Limited Partner
            shall have the right to substitute an assignee as a Limited Partner
            in his place unless the General Partners, in their sole discretion,
            shall consent to the admission of any such assignee as a substitute
            Limited Partner and have obtained the Consent of the Limited
            Partners to such admission, and the following conditions have been
            met:

      (i) a duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment
shall have been filed with the Partnership, which instrument shall set forth the
intention of the assignor that the assignee succeed to his interest as a
substitute Limited Partner;

      (ii) the assignor and assignee shall have executed and acknowledged such
other instruments as the General Partners may deem necessary to effect such
substitution, including the written acceptance and adoption by the assignee of
the provisions of this Agreement and the written agreement of the assignee to be
personally liable for the assignor's deficit restoration obligations under
Section 7.6 and liable on a non-recourse basis for the representations and
warranties set forth in Exhibit C to the extent provided by Article XI; and

      (iii) the provisions of Section 8.3 of this Agreement are complied with.

No assignment of a Limited Partner's interest shall relieve the assignor (or his
legal successors) of the duties and obligations arising under this Partnership
Agreement until the assignee is admitted as a substitute Limited Partner.
Consent to substitution of a Limited Partner shall not be unreasonably delayed
or withheld by the General Partners, nor shall the General Partners refuse to
consent to an assignment and substitution for the purposes of preserving an
indemnification obligation or remedy pursuant to Article XI.

      (b) The General Partners shall amend the certificate of limited
partnership if required under applicable law to reflect any substitution of a
Limited Partner effected under this section. By executing or adopting this
Partnership Agreement, each Partner hereby consents to the admission of
substitute Limited Partners by the General Partners as provided in this Section,
and the amendment of the certificate of limited partnership to reflect any such
admission.

      (c) Each person who becomes a substitute Limited Partner shall duly
execute this Partnership Agreement and shall ratify and agree to be bound by all
prior permitted actions taken by the Partnership and the General Partners.

      Section 8.5 Additional Limited Partners. The General Partners may admit
additional Limited Partners to the Partnership with the Consent of the Limited
Partners.

      Section 8.6 Partnership Certificates. Limited Partnership Certificates
("Certificates") may be issued to evidence interests in Limited Partnership
Interests, to the extent the General Partners determine such Certificates to be
advisable. While such Certificates may serve as evidence of Limited Partnership
Interests, the presence or absence of a Certificate representing a Limited
Partnership Interest shall not adversely affect the right of any Limited
Partner. The records of the Partnership shall be conclusive as to the identity
and Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners. If issued, each certificate
shall be signed by authorized officers of the General Partners. Certificates
shall be in such form as the General Partners shall deem appropriate and not
inconsistent with law. In case any Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed, the General Partners may authorize the issuance of a new Certificate
in place thereof upon such terms and conditions as the General Partners deem
advisable. In the event that a Limited Partnership Interest evidenced by a
Certificate is adjusted pursuant to Article III hereof, the Percentage Interest
of the Limited Partner shown on such Certificate shall be adjusted accordingly,
and upon surrender of such Certificate, a new Certificate evidencing the
adjusted Limited Partnership Interest may be issued to the extent the General
Partners determine a new Certificate to be advisable.

                                   ARTICLE IX

      Section 9.1 Grant of Units.

      (a) TCT hereby grants to each Limited Partner such number of Units as are
set forth in Exhibit I hereto, subject to adjustment as provided in Exhibit J
hereto. Units shall not be separable from a Limited Partnership Interest, and
the assignee of a Limited Partnership Interest automatically shall succeed to
the Units attributable to such Limited Partnership Interest. The Units
hereunder, along with the related portion of the corresponding Limited
Partnership Interest, may be converted into Common Shares, subject to the terms,
conditions and restrictions contained in Exhibit J hereto, upon delivery to TCT
of an Exercise Notice in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto, which notice
shall specify the number of Units to be converted by such Limited Partner. Once
delivered, the Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable, subject to the delivery of
Common Shares by TCT in accordance with the terms hereof, and TCT agrees to
issue Common Shares upon delivery of said Exercise Notice in accordance with the
terms hereof.

      (b) Solely for the purpose of recalculating Percentage Interests of the
Partners pursuant to Section 3.2(b), TCT shall grant Deemed Units to a Limited
Partner who has not been granted any Units pursuant to Section 9.1(a) above.

      Section 9.2 Terms of Units. The terms and provisions applicable to the
Units shall be as set forth in Exhibit J hereto.

                         Maintenance of Capital Accounts

Each Partner's Capital Account shall be determined and adjusted as follows:

(a)   (1) each Partner's Capital Account shall be increased by (i) such
      Partner's Capital Contribution, (ii) such Partner's distributive share of
      Net Profits and Gain From Sale, (iii) such Partner's distributive share of
      any items in the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated
      pursuant to Section 1 of Exhibit E, and Section 4.3(e), of the Partnership
      Agreement, and (iv) the amount of any Partnership liabilities assumed by
      such Partner within the meaning of Regulations Section
      1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c); and (2) each Partner's Capital Account shall be
      decreased by (i) the net agreed fair market value of Partnership Property
      and the amount of cash distributed to such Partner pursuant to this
      Partnership Agreement, (ii) such Partner's distributive share of Net
      Losses and Loss From Sale, (iii) such Partner's distributive share of
      items in the nature of deduction or loss which are specially allocated
      pursuant to Section 1 of Exhibit E, and Section 4.3(e), of the Partnership
      Agreement, and (iv) the amount of any liabilities of such Partner assumed
      by the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section
      1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c) or which are secured by any property contributed by
      such Partner to the Partnership.

(b)   In the event any Partnership Interest is transferred in accordance with
      the terms of this Partnership Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to
      the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the
      transferred Partnership Interest.

(c)   In the event the Book Value of a Partnership asset is adjusted (other than
      for Depreciation) pursuant to the terms of this Partnership Agreement, the
      Capital Accounts of all Partners shall be adjusted simultaneously to
      reflect the aggregate net adjustments as if the Partnership recognized
      Gain From Sale or Loss From Sale equal to the amount of such aggregate net
      adjustment. The Book Value of the Partnership's assets have been adjusted
      in connection with the additional capital contribution by TCT referenced
      in Section 3.5(a).

(d)   In the event that the Partnership distributes an asset of the Partnership
      to a Partner, the Partners' Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect
      the manner in which they would have shared any Gain From Sale or Loss From
      Sale that would have been recognized upon a taxable disposition of such
      asset at a price equal to its fair market value at the time of the
      distribution.

(e)   In the event that any distribution from the Partnership to a Partner
      results in an adjustment to the basis of Partnership assets pursuant to
      Code Section 734(b), the Partners' Capital Accounts shall be increased or
      decreased, as the case may be, by the amount of the adjustment
      concurrently with the distribution in accordance with, and to the extent
      permitted by, Regulations Section 1,704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) and (5).

(f)   The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Partnership
      Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to
      comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and
      applied in a manner

                                      D-1
<PAGE>

      consistent with such Regulations. In the event that the General Partners
      shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the
      Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases thereto, are computed in
      order to comply with such Regulations, the General Partners may make such
      modification with the Consent of the Limited Partners. The General
      Partners may also make any appropriate modifications with the Consent of
      the Limited Partners in the event that unanticipated events might
      otherwise cause this Partnership Agreement not to comply with Regulations
      Section 1.704-1(b).

                                    Exhibit E

                               Certain Allocations

Section 1. Special Allocations

      Prior to any allocation provided for in Section 4.3 of the Partnership
Agreement, the following special allocations shall be made for tax and capital
account purposes in the following order:

      (a) Depreciation. The Partnership's Depreciation initially will be
specially allocated entirely to Bal-Penn and Oriole pro rata. Following the
transaction set forth in Section 3.1(b)(ii) of the Partnership Agreement, the
Partnership's Depreciation shall be specially allocated to the Original Limited
Partners and TC-Oriole, pro rata, in proportion to their Percentage Interests.
Following the transaction set forth in Section 3.1(b)(iv) of the Partnership
Agreement, the Partnership's Depreciation for any taxable year will be specially
allocated as follows:

      (1)   The Depreciation attributable to the Properties will be specially
            allocated as follows:

            (i) first, to the Original Limited Partners, pro rata, in proportion
            to their Original Interests, in an amount equal to the product of
            (x) 85% of the amount of such Depreciation and (y) the Original
            Limited Partners' Special Allocation Fraction;

            (ii) second, if the amount of the Nonrecourse Liabilities to which
            the Properties are subject is less than $232,000,000, to the
            Original Limited Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their Original
            Interests, to the extent necessary to make the product of (x) the
            total amount of Depreciation attributable to the Properties that is
            specially allocated to the Original Limited Partners, when expressed
            as a percentage of the total amount of Depreciation attributable to
            the Properties and (y) the amount of the Nonrecourse Liabilities to
            which the Properties are subject, equal to the product of (A)
            $197,200,000 and (B) the Original Limited Partners' Special
            Allocation Fraction; provided, however, that the Depreciation
            allocated pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) shall not exceed the
            product of (I) 85% of the Depreciation attributable to the
            Properties, and (II) one minus the Original Limited Partners'
            Special Allocation Fraction; and

            (iii) third, the balance if any, to TCT.

      (2)   Supplemental Properties.

            (i) If the Nonrecourse Liabilities to which the Properties are
            subject do not exceed $232,000,000 the Depreciation attributable to
            the Supplemental Properties will be specially allocated as follows:

                  (A) first, to the Original Limited Partners, pro rata, in
                  proportion to their Original Interests, in an amount equal to
                  the product of (x) 85% of the amount of Depreciation
                  attributable to the Supplemental Properties and (y) the
                  Original Limited Partners' Special Allocation Fraction;

                                      E-1
<PAGE>

                  (B) second, to the Original Limited Partners, pro rata, in
                  proportion to their Original Interests, to the extent
                  necessary to make the product of (x) the total amount of
                  Depreciation attributable to the Properties and the
                  Supplemental Properties that is specially allocated to the
                  Original Limited Partners, when expressed as a percentage of
                  the total amount of Depreciation attributable to the
                  Properties and the Supplemental Properties and (y) the amount
                  of the Nonrecourse Liabilities to which the Properties are
                  subject, equal to the product of (I) $197,000,000 and (II) the
                  Original Limited Partners' Special Allocation Fraction;
                  provided, however, that the Depreciation allocated pursuant to
                  this subparagraph (B) shall not exceed the product of (1) 85%
                  of the Depreciation attributable to the Supplemental
                  Properties, and (2) one minus the Original Limited Partners'
                  Special Allocation Fraction; and

                  (C) third, the balance, if any, to TCT.

            (ii) If the Nonrecourse Liabilities to which the Properties are
            subject exceeds $232,000,000, the Depreciation attributable to the
            Supplemental Properties will be specially allocated as follows:

                  (A) first, to the Original Limited Partners, pro rata, in
                  proportion to their Original Interests, in an amount equal to
                  the product of (x) the excess of (I) the product of the total
                  amount of Depreciation attributable to the Properties and the
                  Supplemental Properties, multiplied by a fraction, the
                  numerator of which is $197,200,000, and the denominator of
                  which is the amount of the Nonrecourse Liabilities to which
                  the Properties are subject, over (II) 85% of the total
                  Depreciation attributable to the Properties, and (y) the
                  Original Limited Partners' Special Allocation Fraction;

                  (B) second, to TCT in an amount equal to the excess of (x) the
                  product of the total amount of Depreciation attributable to
                  the Properties and the Supplemental Properties, multiplied by
                  a fraction, the numerator of which is $34,800,000 and the
                  denominator of which is the amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities
                  to which the Properties are subject, over (y) 15% of the total
                  Depreciation attributable to the Properties;

                  (C) third, to TCT in an amount equal to the product of (x) the
                  amount set forth in clause (x) of subparagraph (2)(ii)(A)
                  above, and (y) one minus the Original Limited Partners'
                  Special Allocation Fraction; and

                  (D) fourth, to the Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their
                  Percentage Interests.

      (3)   Depreciation of the Partnership that is not specially allocated
            under paragraphs (1) or (2) shall be allocated to the Partners, pro
            rata, in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

      (b) Interest. The Partnership's deduction for interest for any taxable
year will be specially allocated as follows:

                                      E-2
<PAGE>

      (1)   Interest expense on the first $232,000,000 of Nonrecourse
            Liabilities to which the Properties are subject (such amount of
            interest expense being referred to as the "Current Interest") shall
            be allocated entirely to TCT.

      (2)   Interest expense in excess of the Current Interest shall be
            allocated to the Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their
            Percentage Interests.

      (c) Minimum Gain Chargebacks. If there is a net decrease in Partnership
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain or Partner Minimum Gain during any Partnership
fiscal year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership
income and Gain From Sale for such year (and if necessary, subsequent years)
determined in accordance with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)
or 1.704-2(i)(4) as applicable and the definition of "Book Value" in Section 1.2
of Exhibit A. This Section l(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain
chargeback requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4) and
shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

      (d) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted
tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code
Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining 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 the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their
Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the
Regulations.

      (e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for
any taxable year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the
economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such
Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i).

      (f) Adjustments. With the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General
Partners may adjust the special allocations provided for in Section l(a)(2) of
this Exhibit to the extent deemed necessary by the independent trustees of TCT
at the inception of a financing involving Supplemental Properties to allow TCT
to avoid any material risk that TCT would (i) fail to satisfy the REIT
Requirements or (ii) be subject to entity-level federal income or excise tax
liability.

      (g) Loss Allocations in Excess of Basis. If any allocation of Net Losses,
Net Loss on Sale, Depreciation or any other deduction to a Limited Partner would
exceed such Limited Partner's basis in his or its Partnership Interest
(determined after taking into account all allocations, contributions and
distributions for such year and based solely on information available to the
Partnership) as of the end of such taxable year (such excess being referred to
as the "Excess Losses"), items of income or gain shall be specially allocated to
such Limited Partner in an amount equal to the Excess Losses.

Section 2. Other Allocation Rules

      (a) For purposes of determining the Net Profits, Net Losses or any other
items allocable to any period, Net Profits, Net Losses and any such other items
shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the
General Partners using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and
the Regulations thereunder.

                                      E-3
<PAGE>

      (b) In the event that the Partnership acquires a direct or indirect
interest in another partnership by way of contribution or owns a direct or
indirect interest in any other partnership at the time the Book Value of
Partnership property is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of Exhibit A, the
allocation of the Partnership's distributive share of income, gain, loss, or
deduction of any such subsidiary partnership shall be made for purposes of this
Partnership Agreement as if the subsidiary partnership's assets were owned
directly by the Partnership and the Book Value of such assets were adjusted (i)
in accordance with Section 1.2(a) of Exhibit A when the interest in any such
subsidiary partnership is acquired by the Partnership, or (ii) in accordance
with Section 1.2(b) of Exhibit A at the time the Book Value of Partnership
property is adjusted pursuant thereto.

      (c) To the extent that any allocation of income or gain made pursuant to
this Partnership Agreement includes the allocation of an item of income or gain
that is recaptured as ordinary income under Code Sections 1245 or 1250, such
ordinary income shall, to the extent possible without affecting the amount of
overall income or loss allocated to any Partner, be allocated to the Partners
who received the allocation of the depreciation or cost recovery deductions that
generated the ordinary income recapture in proportion to their shares of such
deductions, and the remaining items of income or gain will be allocated to the
other Partners.

      (d) Except as otherwise provided in this Partnership Agreement, all items
of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and any other allocations not
otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Partners in the same
proportions as they share Net Profits or Net Losses, as the case may be, for the
year.

      (e) Certain of the allocations set forth in this Exhibit E (the
"Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. To the extent the Regulatory
Allocations are inconsistent with the manner in which the Partners intend to
divide distributions as stated in the last sentence of Section 4.3(e), the
General Partners are authorized to divide other allocations of Net Profits, Net
Losses, Gain From Sale, Loss From Sale and other items among the Partners in any
reasonable manner so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting
the manner in which Partnership distributions would be divided among the
Partners but for application of the Regulatory Allocations.

      (f) Consistent with the allocation of nonrecourse deductions attributable
to property financed with nonrecourse debt, the Nonrecourse Liabilities of the
Partnership initially shall be allocated to Bal-Penn and Oriole, pro rata.
Following the transaction set forth in Section 3.1(b)(ii) of the Partnership
Agreement, the Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership shall be allocated to
the Original Limited Partners and TC-Oriole, pro rata, in proportion to their
Percentage Interests. Following the transaction set forth in Section 3.1(b)(iv)
of the Partnership Agreement, the Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership
shall be allocated as follows:

            (1)   The first $232,000,000 of Nonrecourse Liabilities to which the
                  Properties are subject (such amount of liabilities being
                  referred to as the "Current Debt") shall be allocated:

                  (i) first, to the Original Limited Partners, pro rata, in
                  proportion to their Original Interests, in an amount equal to
                  the product of 85% of the Current Debt multiplied by Original
                  Limited Partners' Special Allocation Fraction;

                  (ii) second, if the amount of the Nonrecourse Liabilities to
                  which the Properties are subject is less than $232,000,000, to
                  the Original Limited

                                      E-4
<PAGE>

                  Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their Original Interests,
                  to the extent necessary to make the total amount of the
                  Nonrecourse Liabilities to which the Properties are subject
                  allocated to the Limited Partners equal to product of
                  $197,200,000 and the Original Limited Partners' Special
                  Allocation Fraction; and

                  (iii) third, the balance, if any, to TCT.

            (2)   Nonrecourse Liabilities in excess of the Current Debt shall be
                  allocated to the Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their
                  Percentage Interests.

      (g) The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the
allocations made by the Partnership Agreement and this Exhibit and hereby agree
to be bound by the provisions thereof and hereof in reporting their shares of
Partnership income and loss for income tax purposes.

      (h) The provisions of this Exhibit E and the other provisions of the
Partnership Agreement are intended to comply with the Regulations under Code
Section 752 and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with
such Regulations. In the event that the General Partners shall determine that it
is prudent to modify the manner of allocating Net Profits, Net Losses, Gain from
Sale, Loss From Sale or any items of income, gain, loss or deduction in order to
comply with such Regulations, the General Partners may make such modification,
with the reasonable Consent of the Limited Partners, provided that such
modification does not have a material effect on the amounts distributable to a
partner pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.3(e) or on the special
allocations of Nonrecourse Liabilities, Depreciation or interest set forth in
this Exhibit E.

Section 3. Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c)

      (a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) 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 any variation between the adjusted basis
of such property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its Book
Value at the time of contribution. In the event the Book Value of any
Partnership Property is adjusted (other than for Depreciation) pursuant to the
terms of this Partnership Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain,
loss and deduction with respect to such property shall take into account any
variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax
purposes and its Book Value immediately after the adjustment in the same manner
as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. To the extent
possible and except as otherwise provided herein, tax allocations shall be made
in the same manner as allocations for Capital Account purposes.

      (b) Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations made
pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made by the General Partners in any manner
that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Partnership
Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 3 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 Net Profits, Net
Losses, Gain from Sale, Loss From Sale or distributions pursuant to any
provision of this Partnership Agreement.

                               Tax Matters Partner

      (a) TCT shall be the "Tax Matters Partner" for the Partnership, as
provided in Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. Each Partner, by the execution
of this Agreement, consents to such designation of the Tax Matters Partner and
agrees to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at
the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate
to evidence such consent.

      (b) To the extent and in the manner provided by the TMP Provisions, the
Tax Matters Partner shall furnish the name, address, profits interest and
taxpayer identification number of each Partner, including any successor Limited
Partner, to the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate ("Secretary").

      (c) To the extent and in the manner provided by the TMP Provisions, the
Tax Matters Partner shall keep each Partner informed of the administrative or
judicial proceedings for the adjustment at the Partnership or Company level of
any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes
(such administrative proceedings being referred to as a "tax audit" and such
judicial proceedings being referred to as "judicial review").

      (d) If the Tax Matters Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, receives a
notice relating to any partnership or nonpartnership item (within the meaning of
Code Sections 6231(a)(3) and (4), respectively) of the Partnership, the Tax
Matters Partner shall, within 30 days of receiving such notice, forward a copy
of such notice to the Partners who hold or held an interest in the profits or
losses of the Partnership for the Partnership taxable year to which the notice
relates.

      (e) The Tax Matters Partner is authorized, but not required:

      (1)   to enter into any settlement with the Internal Revenue Service
            ("IRS") or the Secretary with respect to any tax audit or judicial
            review, in which agreement the Tax Matters Partner may expressly
            state that such agreement shall bind the other Partners, except that
            such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner who (within the
            time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations thereunder)
            files a statement with the Secretary providing that the Tax Matters
            Partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement
            agreement on behalf of such Partner;

      (2)   in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at
            the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account
            by a Partner for tax purposes (a "final adjustment") is mailed to
            the Tax Matters Partner, to seek judicial review of such final
            adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with
            the United States Tax Court or the United States Claims Court, or
            the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the
            United States for the district in which the Partnership's principal
            place of business is located;

      (3)   to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial
            review of a final adjustment;

      (4)   to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the
            Secretary at any time and, if any part of such request is not
            allowed by the Secretary, to file an

                                      F-1
<PAGE>

            appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review
            with respect to such request;

      (5)   to enter into an agreement with the Secretary to extend the period
            for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to
            be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item
            affected by such item; or

      (6)   to take any other action on behalf of the Partners or the
            Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review
            proceeding to the extent permitted by the TMP Provisions.

      (f) The Partnership shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters Partner
for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees (as such fees are
incurred), claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with
any tax audit or judicial review proceeding with respect to the tax liability of
the Partners. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the
Tax Matters Partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent
required by law, is a matter in the discretion of the Tax Matters Partner and
the provisions on limitations of liability of the General Partners set forth in
this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the Tax Matters Partner in its
capacity as such.

                          Terms and Conditions of Units

      The Units granted by TCT to the Limited Partners pursuant to Section
9.1(a) hereof shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

      1. Definitions. The following terms and phrases, for purposes of this
Exhibit J and the Agreement, shall have the meanings set forth below:

      "Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or any successor statute.

      "Exercise Notice" shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof.

      "Exercising Partners" shall have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 2
hereof.

      "SEC" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      2. Delivery of Exercise Notices. Any one of more Limited Partners
("Exercising Partners"), subject to the limitations set forth herein, may
deliver to TCT written notice (the "Exercise Notice") pursuant to which such
Exercising Partners elect to convert some or all of their Units and Partnership
Interests into Common Shares subject to the limitations contained in Paragraph 4
below.

      3. Reserved.

      4. Limitation on Exercise of Units. Subject to Section 11.7 of the
Partnership Agreement, Units and related Partnership Interests may be converted
at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Units and related Partnership
Interests may be converted if such conversion would cause the Partnership to
cease to qualify as a limited partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its organization, absent the approval of the General Partners.

      5. Computation of Purchase Price. Each Unit and the related portion of the
Limited Partner's Partnership Interest shall be convertible into one Common
Share, as adjusted from time to time as provided in Paragraph 13, below.

      6. Closing; Delivery of Exercise Notice. The closing of a conversion of a
Unit and the related Partnership Interest shall be held at the principal offices
of TCT, on the date agreed to by TCT and the Exercising Partner, which date in
no event shall be more than ten (10) days after the date of the Exercise Notice.

      7. Closing Deliveries. At the closing of the conversion of a Unit and the
related Partnership Interest, the Exercising Partner shall deliver to TCT or its
designee such instruments and documents in respect of such Exercising Partner's
due authority to transfer all of the right, title and interest in and to the
Unit and the related Partnership Interest to TCT or its designee and in respect
of the status of the Unit and the related Partnership Interest being
transferred, free and clear of all liens as may be requested by TCT or its
counsel.

                                      J-1
<PAGE>

      8. Term. Subject to Section 3.7 of the Agreement, the grant of the Units
by TCT shall be effective as of the date hereof and the Units shall terminate
for all purposes and in all respects upon the dissolution of the Partnership
(unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 6.1).

      9. Covenants of TCT. To facilitate TCT's ability fully to perform its
obligations hereunder, TCT covenants and agrees as follows:

            (a) At all times during while any Units remain outstanding, TCT
      shall reserve for issuance such number of Common Shares as may be
      necessary to enable TCT to issue such shares upon conversion of all Units
      and related Partnership Interests which are from time to time outstanding.

            (b) As long as TCT shall be obligated to file periodic reports under
      the Exchange Act, TCT timely will file such reports in such manner as
      shall enable any recipient of Common Shares issued to Limited Partners
      hereunder to resell such shares in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by
      the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, or any successor rule or
      regulation or statute thereunder.

            (c) As long as any Units remain outstanding, the Limited Partners
      shall receive in a timely manner all reports filed by TCT with the SEC and
      all other communications transmitted from time to time by TCT to its
      shareholders generally.

            (d) TCT will use its best efforts promptly to advise each other
      Limited Partner upon TCT's receipt of an Exercise Notice from any
      Exercising Partner.

      10. Limited Partners' Covenant. Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees
with TCT that all Units (and the related portion of such Limited Partner's
Partnership Interest) converted hereunder shall be delivered to TCT free and
clear of all liens, and should any Liens exist or arise with respect to such
Units or Partnership Interests, TCT shall be under no obligation to acquire the
same. Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local
property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Units and
Partnership Interest to TCT (or its designee), such Limited Partner shall assume
and pay such transfer tax.

      11. Fractional Interests. Only Partnership Interests corresponding to
whole numbers of Units may be converted. TCT shall not be required to issue
fractions of Common Shares on the conversion of Units and the related
Partnership Interests. If more than one Unit and the related Partnership
Interest shall be converted at the same time by the same Limited Partner, the
number of full Common Shares that shall be issuable upon the conversion thereof
shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Common Shares
represented by the Units and related Partnership Interests so presented. If any
fraction of a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 11,
be issuable on the conversion of any Units and related Partnership Interests (or
specified portion thereof), TCT shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Closing
Price of the immediately preceding Trading Day multiplied by such fraction.

      12. No Rights as Shareholders. Nothing contained in this Agreement or this
Exhibit J shall be construed as conferring upon any Limited Partner, in his or
its capacity as such, the right to vote or to receive dividends or other
distributions from TCT or to consent to or to receive notice as shareholders in
respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of TCT or
any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of TCT, unless and
until such

                                      J-2
<PAGE>

Limited Partner becomes the holder of Common Shares upon the conversion of Units
and the related Partnership Interests.

      13. Adjustment of Number of Common Shares. (a) In case TCT shall pay or
make a dividend or other distribution in Common Shares on any of its shares of
beneficial interest, the number of Common Shares into which each Unit and the
related Partnership Interest thereafter may be converted shall be increased in
proportion to the increase in outstanding Common Shares resulting from such
dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for
such dividend or other distribution.

      (b) In case TCT shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its
Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a
price per share less than the current market price per Common Share (as defined
in paragraph (f) below), each Limited Partner which is a holder of a Unit shall
be entitled to receive such number of rights or warrants, as the case may be, as
he would have been entitled to receive had he converted his Units and the
related Partnership Interests immediately prior to the record date for such
issuance by TCT.

      (c) In case the outstanding Common Shares shall be subdivided into a
greater number of shares, the number of Common Shares into which each Unit and
the related Partnership Interest thereafter may be converted shall be increased
proportionately, and, conversely, in case outstanding Common Shares each shall
be combined into a smaller number of shares, the number of Common Shares into
which each Unit and the related Partnership Interest thereafter may be converted
shall be reduced proportionately, such increase or reduction, as the case may
be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

      (d) In case the Common Shares shall be changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any class or classes of shares of beneficial
interest, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise
(other than subdivision or combination of shares or a stock dividend described
in paragraph (c) of this Paragraph) then and in each such event the Limited
Partners shall have the right thereafter to convert their Units and the related
Partnership Interests into the kind and amount of shares and other securities
and property which would have been received upon such reorganization,
reclassification or other change by holders of the number of Common Shares into
which the Units and the related Partnership Interests might have been converted
immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change.

      (e) TCT may, but shall not be required to, make such adjustments to the
number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of a Unit and the related
Partnership Interest, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c)
and (d) of this Section, and TCT's Board of Trustees shall have the power to
resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in the adjustments made pursuant to
this Section and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.

      (f) For the purpose of any computation under paragraph (b) above, the
current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the
average of the daily Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days
selected by TCT commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not
later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date
with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For the
purposes of this paragraph (f), the term "`ex' date", when used in respect of
any issuance or distribution, shall mean the first date on which the Common
Shares trade regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to
receive such issuance or distribution.

                                    Exhibit K

       Terms and Conditions of Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests

      The Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests granted by the Partnership
to TCT pursuant to Section 3.5(a) of the Agreement shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

      1. Liquidation Preference. Upon the occurrence of the voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, TCT, as
holder of the Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests, shall be entitled to
be paid, before any distribution or payment is made to the Partners in
accordance with Section 7.2(c) of the Agreement, with respect to each
Convertible Preferred Partnership Interest held thereby, out of the assets of
the Partnership legally available for the payment of distributions, (i) an
amount in cash or, if applicable, other assets or property, equal to $1,000 (the
"Liquidation Preference") in reduction of the Capital Account of TCT, plus (ii)
an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid distributions payable with respect to
such Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests pursuant to Paragraph 2 below
as a guaranteed payment for the use of capital within the meaning of Section
707(c) of the Code and not in reduction of the Capital Account of TCT.

      2. Distributions. TCT, as holder of the Convertible Preferred Partnership
Interests, shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available for the
payment of distributions, distributions with respect to each Convertible
Preferred Partnership Interest held by TCT in such amounts and on such dates as
TCT is required to make payments of interest in respect of each $1,000 principal
amount of Notes pursuant to the Indenture. Any such distributions with respect
to Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests shall be made in preference to
any distributions or payments by the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.2 of the
Agreement. Each such distribution shall be a guaranteed payment for the use of
capital within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code and not in reduction of
the Capital Account of TCT. None of the Partnership's income will be allocated
in respect of the Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests except as provided
hereby.

      3. Conversion. To the extent that any Notes are converted into Common
Shares as provided in the Indenture, one Convertible Preferred Partnership
Interest shall be automatically converted into a Partnership Interest having the
economic equivalence of the number of Common Shares into which such Notes are
converted (after giving effect to any adjustments to the conversion rate
applicable to the Notes under the Indenture), and the Capital Account of TCT
shall be reduced accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Convertible
Preferred Partnership Interests may be converted if such conversion would cause
the Partnership to cease to qualify as a limited partnership under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization, absent the approval of the General
Partners.

      4. Redemption. Upon the payment by TCT of the principal of any of the
Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity or in
connection with any redemption or purchase of the Notes by TCT in accordance
with the Indenture, the Partnership shall redeem one Convertible Preferred
Partnership Interest for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes so repaid,
redeemed or purchased, at a price equal to the then applicable Liquidation
Preference. In the case of any such redemption, the Capital Account of TCT shall
be reduced accordingly.

      5. No Voting Rights. In its capacity as a holder of the Convertible
Preferred Partnership Interests, TCT shall not be entitled or permitted to any
right to vote on any matter required or permitted to be voted upon by the
Partners (other than its rights as a General Partner of the Partnership), except
as required by law or insofar as an amendment to the Agreement would adversely
affect the rights of TCT, as holder of the Convertible Preferred Partnership
Interests; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not diminish in any way
the voting rights held hereunder by TCT in any capacity other than as a holder
of the Convertible Preferred Units.

      6. Term. The grant of the Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests
shall be effective as of the date hereof and the Convertible Preferred
Partnership Interests shall terminate for all purposes and in all respects upon
the liquidation or winding-up of the Partnership (unless the Partnership is
continued pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement).
