terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Loan Agreement); and
WHEREAS, as security for the Loans, Borrower executed and delivered that
certain Pledge Agreement to the Lender, dated as of December 18, 1998 (as
amended, restated, modified or supplemented and in effect from time to time, the
"Pledge Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Lender release the AIMCO Shares
pledged as Collateral under the Pledge Agreement and consent to Borrower (i)
selling the pledged AIMCO Shares and (ii) using the proceeds of the AIMCO Sale

agree as follows:
1. The Lender hereby agrees to release its lien on the AIMCO
Shares pledged to the Lender pursuant to the Pledge Agreement as Collateral for
the Loans, and hereby consents to the sale of the AIMCO Shares, subject to the
following conditions:
a) the Borrower shall sell the released AIMCO Shares (the
"Released Shares") through an investment account with ABN AMRO
Incorporated (the "ABN AMRO Account") for which the Borrower, the
Lender and ABN AMRO
Incorporated have entered into a restricted account agreement to
evidence and perfect the Lender's security interest in the
Released Shares and all proceeds of, and substitutions for, the
Released Shares;
b) all proceeds from the sale of the Released Shares shall be
held in the ABN AMRO Account until the Borrower consummates the
purchase of the Additional Partnership Units;
c) the Borrower shall direct the seller of the Additional
Partnership Units to deliver the certificates evidencing the
Additional Partnership Units to the ABN AMRO Account immediately
upon consummation of the purchase of the Additional Partnership
Units;
d) the Borrower shall direct ABN AMRO Incorporated to deliver
the certificates evidencing the Additional Partnership Units to
the Lender upon ABN AMRO Incorporated's receipt of the Additional
Partnership Units; and
e) concurrently with the execution of this Amendment, the
Borrower shall deliver to Lender an assignment separate from
certificate executed in blank with respect to each certificate
evidencing the Additional Partnership Units.
2. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Paragraph 5.15 and by
deleting all reference elsewhere in the Loan Agreement to "Apartment Investment
and Management Company," "AIMCO," and "AIMCO Shares."
3. The Pledge Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
a) by deleting all reference to "Apartment Investment and
Management Company," "AIMCO," and "AIMCO Stock"; and
b) by deleting Schedule 1 thereto in its entirety and, upon
purchase of the Additional Partnership Units, replacing it with a
new "Schedule 1" substantially in the form attached hereto.
4. The Prime Group, Inc., an Illinois corporation, hereby ratifies its
obligations under that certain Continuing Unconditional Guaranty, dated December
18, 1998, given by The Prime Group, Inc. in favor of the Lender.
5. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that its execution,
delivery and performance of this Amendment, the Pledge Agreement and the Loan
Agreement (both as amended hereby) are within its partnership powers and have
been duly authorized by all requisite partnership action on its part and that
this Amendment has been duly executed by Borrower and this Amendment, the Pledge
Agreement and the Loan Agreement (both as amended hereby)
2
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and
other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general
principles of equity.
6. The parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that nothing contained
in this Amendment in any manner or respect limits or terminates any of the
provisions of the Pledge Agreement or the Loan Agreement other than as expressly
set forth herein and further agree and acknowledge that the Pledge Agreement and
the Loan Agreement both remain and continue in full force and effect.
7. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
document with the same force and effect as if the signatures of all of the
parties were on a single counterpart.
8.This Amendment, taken with the Pledge Agreement and the Loan Agreement,
embodies the entire agreement and understanding with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to
the subject matter hereof. Any reference to the Pledge Agreement or the Loan
Agreement (howsoever each may be called) contained in any notice, request,
certificate or other document shall be deemed to refer to the Pledge Agreement
and the Loan Agreement, respectively, as amended by this Amendment unless the
context shall otherwise expressly specify.
9. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Illinois.
