Constellation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies until
such time as suits can no longer be brought against her as a matter of law.

Amendment No. 3

to

Employment
Agreement of Dave Schaeffer

This amendment is made by
and between Cogent Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) and David Schaeffer (“Executive”).

In the definition
of “Good Reason” (for resignation) section (iv) is deleted.  (Section iv deals with the maintenance of
Executive’s benefit plans.  It has been
deleted so that the definition of good cause falls within the safe harbor
provided in the regulations under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.)

The following
section is added following Section 7(a)(ii)

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive is
deemed as of the Date of Termination to be a “specified employee” for purposes
of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), to the
extent delayed commencement of any portion of the severance payments to which
Executive is entitled under this agreement is required in order to avoid a
prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such
portion of the severance payments will not be provided to Executive prior to
the earlier of (1) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the
date of the Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company (as such
term is defined in the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the
Code) or (2) Executive’s death.  Upon the
expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) deferral period, all
payments deferred pursuant to this paragraph (vi) shall be paid in a lump sum
to Executive, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise
provided herein.

Except as herein
amended the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement
(the “Agreement”), effective as of June 8, 2007, is by and between LTC Properties, Inc., a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (“LTC” or the “Company”), and
T. Andrew Stokes (“Executive”).

NOW THEREFORE, for good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.             Appointment, Title and Duties. 
LTC hereby employs Executive to serve as its Vice President, Marketing
and Strategic Planning.  In such
capacity, Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer  of the Company, and shall have such duties,
powers and responsibilities as are customarily assigned to a Vice President,
Marketing and Strategic Planning of a publicly held corporation, but shall also
be responsible to the Board of Directors and to any committee thereof.  In addition, Executive shall have such other
duties and responsibilities as the Chief Executive Officer may assign him, with
his consent, including serving with the consent or at the request of the Chief
Executive Officer as an officer or on the board of directors of affiliated
corporations.

2.             Term of Agreement.  The term of
this Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and shall extend such that
at each and every moment of time hereafter the remaining term shall be one year.

3.             Acceptance of Position.  Executive
accepts the position of Vice President, Marketing and Strategic Planning of
LTC, and agrees that during the term of this Agreement he will faithfully
perform his duties and, except as expressly approved by the Board of Directors
of LTC, will devote substantially all of his business time to the business and
affairs of LTC, and will not engage, for his own account or for the account of
any other person or entity, in a business which competes with LTC.  It is acknowledged and agreed that Executive
may serve as an officer and/or director of companies in which LTC owns voting
or non-voting stock.  In addition, it is
acknowledged and agreed that Executive may, from time to time, serve as a
member of the board of directors of other companies, in which event the Board
of Directors of LTC must expressly approve such service pursuant to a Board
resolution maintained in the Company’s minute books.  Any compensation or remuneration which
Executive receives in consideration of his service on the board of directors of
other companies shall be the sole and exclusive property of Executive, and LTC
shall have no right or entitlement at any time to any such compensation or
remuneration.

4.             Salary and Benefits.  During the
term of this Agreement:

(a)           LTC shall pay to Executive a base salary
at an annual rate of not less than One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000)
per annum (“Base Salary”), paid in approximately equal installments at
intervals based on any reasonable Company policy.  LTC agrees from time to time to consider
increases in such base salary in the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Any increase, once granted, shall
automatically amend this Agreement to provide that thereafter Executive’s base
salary shall not be less than the annual amount to which such base salary has
been increased.

 1
 

(b)           Executive shall participate in all health, retirement,
Company-paid insurance, sick leave, disability, expense reimbursement and
other benefit programs which LTC makes available to any of its senior
executives, and shall be eligible for bonuses in the discretion of the Board of
Directors.

(c)           Executive shall be entitled to reasonable
vacation time, not less than two (2) weeks per year.

5.             Certain Terms Defined.  For purposes
of this Agreement:

(a)           Executive shall be deemed to be “disabled”
if a physical or mental condition shall occur and persist which, in the written
opinion of a licensed physician selected by the Board of Directors in good
faith, has rendered Executive unable to perform the duties set forth in Section
1 hereof for a period of sixty (60) days or more and, in the written opinion of
such physician, the condition will continue for an indefinite period of time,
rendering Executive unable to return to his duties;

(b)           A termination of Executive’s employment
by LTC shall be deemed for “Cause” if, and only if, it is based upon
(i) conviction of a felony; (ii) material disloyalty to the Company
such as embezzlement, misappropriation of corporate assets or, except as
permitted pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, breach of Executive’s
agreement not to engage in business for another enterprise of the type engaged
in by the Company; or (iii) the engaging in unethical or illegal behavior
which is of a public nature, brings LTC into disrepute, and results in material
damage to the Company.  The Company shall
have the right to suspend Executive with pay, for a reasonable period to
investigate allegations of conduct which, if proven, would establish a right to
terminate this Agreement for Cause, or to permit a felony charge to be
tried.  Immediately upon the conclusion
of such temporary period, unless Cause to terminate this Agreement has been
established, Executive shall be restored to all duties and responsibilities as
if such suspension had never occurred;

(c)           A resignation by Executive shall not be
deemed to be voluntary and shall be deemed to be a resignation with “Good
Reason” if it is based upon (i) a diminution in Executive’s title, duties,
or salary; (ii) a reduction in benefits which is not part of an across-the-board
reduction in benefits of all executive personnel; (iii) a direction by the
Board of Directors that Executive report to any person or group other than the
Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors, or (iv) a geographic
relocation of Executive’s place of work a distance for more than seventy-five
(75) miles from LTC’s offices located at 31365 Oak Crest Drive, Suite 200,
Westlake Village, CA  91361;

(d)           “Affiliate” means with respect to any
Person, a Person who, directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control, with the
Person specified;

(e)           “Base Salary” means, as of any date of
termination of employment, the highest base salary of Executive in the then
current fiscal year or in any of the last four fiscal years immediately
preceding such date of termination of employment;

 2
 

(f)            “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning
given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act;

(g)           A “Change in Control” occurs if:

(i)            Any Person or related group of Persons (other than
Executive and his Related Persons, the Company or a Person that directly or
indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the
Company) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power
of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

(ii)           The stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation (or other entity),
other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
securities of the Company 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 Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; provided, however, that a merger or
consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or
similar transaction) in which no Person acquires 30% or more of the combined
voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities shall not constitute
a Change in Control; or

(iii)          The Stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition
by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

(iv)          A majority of the members of the Board of Directors of

date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors who (i) was a
member of such Board of Directors on the date of the Agreement or (ii) was

of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of
Directors at the time of such nomination or election.

(j)            “Exchange Act” means the Exchange Act of

adoption) of the Executive and any trust, estate or foundation, the beneficiary
of which is the Executive and/or an immediate family member of the Executive.

Executive’s employment shall be terminated upon the earlier of
(i) the voluntary resignation of Executive with or without Good Reason;

terminates for any reason other than as a result of (i) a termination for
Cause, or (ii) a voluntary resignation by Executive without a Good Reason,
or (iii) a Change in Control of the Company, then LTC shall pay Executive
a lump sum severance payment equal to his Base Salary; provided that if employment terminates by
reason of Executive’s death or disability, then such salary shall be paid only
to the extent the Company has available “key man” life, disability or similar
insurance relating to the death or disability of Executive;

(b)           (i) Prior to December 9, 2007 and upon a
Change in Control of the Company and  if
Executive’s employment is terminated thereby, in lieu of the severance payment
described in Section 6(a) above, LTC shall pay Executive a lump sum severance
payment in cash equal to   his Base
Salary, and all stock options and/or restricted stock shall automatically vest
concurrently upon a Change in Control, notwithstanding any prior existing
vesting schedule or,

(ii) As of
December 9, 2007, and upon a Change of Control of the Company and if Executive’s
employment is terminated thereby, in lieu of the severance payment described in
Section 6(a) above, LTC shall pay Executive a lump sum severance payment in
cash equal to two times his Base Salary, and all stock options and/or
restricted stock shall automatically vest concurrently upon a Change of
Control, notwithstanding any prior existing vesting schedule.

Company-provided medical and dental plans to the extent Executive elects

appointed and qualified pursuant to the laws in effect in Executive’s
jurisdiction of residence at the time of his death;

the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) within seven (7) days following the
date of termination of Executive’s employment or consummation of a Change in
Control of the Company, as applicable;

 4
 

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, LTC shall
have no liability under this Section if Executive’s employment pursuant to this
Agreement is terminated by LTC for Cause or by Executive without a Good Reason;
provided, however, that if Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement is
terminated by LTC for Cause or by Executive without a Good Reason at any time
after a Change of Control which did not result in Executive’s employment being
terminated, such post-Change of Control termination by LTC for Cause or
by Executive without a Good Reason shall not affect in any way Executive’s
entitlement to the lump sum severance payment described in Section 6(b) above
or any other rights, benefits or entitlements to which Executive may be
entitled as a result of such Change of Control;

his employment by LTC, to the maximum extent permitted by law.  To the extent permitted by law, LTC shall
advance to Executive any expenses necessary in connection with the defense of
any Claim which is brought if indemnification cannot be determined to be
available prior to the conclusion of, or the investigation of, such Claim.  The parties hereto agree that each
understands and has understood that notwithstanding the above-stated
provisions, nothing herein shall require LTC to hold harmless or indemnify
Executive with respect to any Claim which is brought or asserted against
Executive by LTC.  LTC shall investigate
in good faith the availability and cost of directors’ and officers’ insurance
and shall include Executive as an insured in any directors and officers
insurance policy of such insurance it maintains.

10.           Construction.  In
constructing this Agreement, if any portion of this Agreement shall be found to
be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be given effect to the maximum extent permitted without
considering the void, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  In construing this Agreement, the singular
