Units constituting such class shall be 150,000.
2. DEFINITIONS.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership of AIMCO Properties, L.P. as amended, supplemented or restated from
time to time (the "Agreement"), as modified by this Partnership Unit Designation
and the defined terms used herein. For purposes of this Partnership Unit
Designation, the following terms shall have the respective meanings ascribed
below:
"Assignee" shall mean a Person to whom one or more Class Eight
Partnership Preferred Units have been Transferred in a manner permitted under
the Agreement, but who has not become a Substituted Limited Partner, and who has
the rights set forth in Section 11.5 of the Agreement.
"Class Eight Partnership Preferred Unit" shall mean a Partnership
Preferred Unit with the designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights, powers and duties as are set forth in this
Partnership Unit Designation.
"Fair Market Value" shall mean, at any time and with respect to any
Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units, an amount equal to the amount of assets
that would be receivable by the holder of such Class Eight Partnership Preferred
Units at that time if all of the assets of the Partnership were sold and the
proceeds therefrom were distributed in accordance with the Agreement.
"Junior Partnership Units" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
11(c) of this Partnership Unit Designation.
"Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners" means Limited Partners
(other than (i) the Special Limited Partner and (ii) any Limited Partner fifty
percent (50%) or more of whose equity is owned, directly or indirectly, by the

"qualified REIT subsidiary" (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)))
holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Partnership Common
Units, Class I High Performance Partnership Units, Class I Partnership Preferred
Units, Class One Partnership Preferred Units, Class Two Partnership Preferred
Units, Class Three Partnership Preferred Units, Class Four Partnership Preferred
Units, Class Five Partnership Preferred Units, Class Six Partnership Preferred
Units, Class Seven Partnership Preferred Units, and Class Eight Partnership

11(a) of this Partnership Unit Designation.
"Transfer Agent" shall mean such transfer agent as may be designated by

3. CASH DISTRIBUTIONS.
At any time that the Partnership pays cash distributions to
holders of Partnership Common Units, the Partnership shall pay cash
distributions to holders of the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units in an
amount per Class Eight Partnership Preferred Unit equal to the per unit
distribution on the Partnership Common Units; provided, that distributions upon
liquidation of the Partnership shall be made in accordance with Section 13.2 of
the Agreement. Holders of Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units will not be
entitled to receive any other distributions. If a record date is established by
the General Partner for the payment of distributions in respect of Partnership
Common Units, the same date shall be the record date for payment of
distributions in respect of the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units. With
respect to the first distribution paid to holders of Class Eight Partnership
Preferred Units after the initial issuance thereof, such distribution shall be
pro rated based on the portion of the period in respect of which such
distribution is paid that such Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units were
outstanding.
4. REDEMPTION.
(a) The Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units may be redeemed at the
option of the Partnership at any time at a redemption price payable in cash
equal to the Fair Market Value of such Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units.
(b) The redemption date shall be selected by the Partnership, shall be
specified in a notice of redemption, and shall be not less than 5 days nor more
than 60 days after the date notice of redemption is sent by the Partnership.
(c) If the Partnership shall redeem Class Eight Partnership Preferred
Units, notice of such redemption shall be given to each holder of record of the
Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units to be redeemed. Such notice shall be
provided by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address as the
same appears on the records of the Partnership. Neither the failure to mail any
notice required by this paragraph (c), nor any defect therein or in the mailing
thereof to any particular holder, shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or
the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other
holders. Any notice which has been mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not
the holder receives the notice. Each such notice shall state, as appropriate:
(i) the redemption date; (ii) the place or places at which certificates for such
shares are to be surrendered for cash; and (iii) the redemption price payable on
such redemption
BB-2
4
date. Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the redemption date
(unless the Partnership shall fail to make available the amount of cash
necessary to effect such redemption), (i) such Class Eight Partnership Preferred
Units shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (ii) all rights of the
holders thereof as holders of Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units shall
cease except the right to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without
interest thereon, upon surrender of their certificates if so required. As
promptly as practicable after the surrender in accordance with such notice of
the certificates for any such Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units to be so
redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Partnership shall
so require and the notice shall so state), such certificates shall be exchanged
for cash (without interest thereon) for which such shares have been redeemed in
accordance with such notice.
5. CONVERSION.
(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section
5, on or after November 16, 2001, a holder of Class Eight Partnership Preferred
Units shall have the right, at such holder's option, to convert such units, in
whole or in part, into the number of Partnership Common Units obtained by
dividing (i) the Fair Market Value of the Class Eight Partnership Preferred
Units converted, by (ii) the value of a REIT Share (assuming, for such purpose,
that the Valuation Date is the date of conversion of such units). In order to
exercise the conversion right, the holder of each Class Eight Partnership
Preferred Unit to be converted shall surrender the certificate representing such
unit, duly endorsed or assigned to the Partnership or in blank at the office of
the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice to the Partnership that the
holder thereof elects to convert such Class Eight Partnership Preferred Unit.
(b) (i) Unless the Partnership Common Units issuable on conversion are
to be issued in the same name as the name in which such Class Eight Partnership
Preferred Units are registered, each such unit surrendered following conversion
shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the
Partnership, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized
representative, and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership demonstrating that such
taxes have been paid).
(ii) As promptly as practicable after the surrender
of certificates for Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units as aforesaid, and in
any event no later than three business days after the date of such surrender,
the Partnership shall issue and deliver at such office to such holder, or send
on such holders' written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of
full Partnership Common Units issuable upon the conversion of such Class Eight
Partnership Preferred Units in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5,
and any fractional interest in respect of a Partnership Common Unit arising upon
such conversion shall be settled as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 5.
(iii) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the
certificates for Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units shall have been
surrendered to the Partnership for conversion as provided in paragraph (a) of
this Section 5; and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate
or certificates for Partnership Common Units shall be issuable upon such
conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the
units represented thereby at such time on such date unless the transfer books of
the Partnership shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or
persons shall be deemed to
BB-3
5
become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next
succeeding day on which such transfer books are open.
(c) No fractional Partnership Common Units or scrip representing
fractions of a Partnership Common Unit shall be issued upon conversion of the
Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units. Instead of any fractional interest in a
Partnership Common Unit that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion
of Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units, the Partnership shall pay to the
holder of such units an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such
fractional interest as of the date of conversion. If more than one of any
holder's units shall be converted at one time, the number of full Partnership
Common Units issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of
the aggregate number of Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units so converted.
(d) If the Partnership shall be a party to any transaction (including
with limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory exchange, sale of all or
substantially all of the Partnership's assets or recapitalization of the
Partnership Common Units, but excluding any transaction as to which a change in
the Adjustment Factor would be effected) (each of the foregoing being referred
to herein as a "Transaction"), in each case, as a result of which Partnership
Common Units shall be converted into the right to receive securities or other
property (including cash or any combination thereof), each Class Eight
Partnership Preferred Unit which is not converted into the right to receive
securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereupon
be convertible into the kind and amount of securities and other property
(including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon such consummation by
a holder of that number of Partnership Common Units into which a Class Eight
Partnership Preferred Unit was convertible immediately prior to such
Transaction. The Partnership shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the
terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this paragraph
(d), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction
until the Partnership has entered into an agreement with the successor or
purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the
Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units that will contain provisions enabling
the holders of Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units that remain outstanding
after such Transaction to convert into the consideration received by holders of
Partnership Common Units at the conversion price in effect immediately prior to
such Transaction. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall apply to successive
Transactions.
(e) The Partnership will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar
issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of
Partnership Common Units or other securities or property on conversion of Class
Eight Partnership Preferred Units pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the
Partnership shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Partnership Common Units or
other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the
Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units to be converted, and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or
delivery has paid to the Partnership the amount of any such tax or established,
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Partnership, that such tax has been paid.
6. STATUS OF REACQUIRED UNITS.
All Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units which shall have
been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Partnership shall be deemed
cancelled and no longer outstanding.
BB-4

7. GENERAL.
The ownership of the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units
shall be evidenced by one or more certificates in the form of Annex I hereto.
The General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to the Agreement from time to time to
the extent necessary to reflect accurately the issuance of, and subsequent
redemption, or any other event having an effect on the ownership of, the Class
Eight Partnership Preferred Units.
8. ALLOCATIONS OF INCOME AND LOSS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.
Upon initial issuance, the capital account balance
attributable to the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units shall be zero.
Thereafter, for each Fiscal Year, the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units
shall be allocated a portion of the Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership
equal to the portion of the Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership that
would be allocated to such Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units pursuant to
Article 6 of the Agreement if the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units were
Partnership Common Units. In addition, (i) not more than 60 days prior to a
redemption of Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units pursuant to Section 4
hereof and (ii) at any time after January 1, 2000, upon (x) a sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or a liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Partnership or (y) in the event the Gross
Asset Value of any Partnership Asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) or
(c) of the definition of "Gross Asset Value" in the Agreement, to the extent
possible, the Partnership shall first allocate Partnership gain (and, to the
extent necessary, gross income) among the Class Eight Partnership Preferred
Units (the "Special Allocation") in an amount equal to that necessary to permit
each Class Eight Partnership Preferred Unit to receive, upon a liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.2 of the
Agreement, an amount of assets of the Partnership equal to the amount of assets
that would be receivable with respect to a Partnership Common Unit, as
determined on a per unit basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Class Eight
Partnership Preferred Units shall not be entitled to receive, and shall not
receive, the Special Allocation unless and until the Class I High Performance
Partnership Units have been allocated the full amount of Partnership income and
gain required under Section 5 of the Partnership Unit Designation for the Class
I High Performance Partnership Units.
9. VOTING RIGHTS
Except as otherwise required by applicable law or in the
Agreement, the holders of the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units will have
the same voting rights as holders of the Partnership Common Units. As long as
any Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units are outstanding, for purposes of
determining the Consent of Limited Partners under the Agreement, the "Majority
In Interest of the Limited Partners" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
2 hereof. As long as any Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units are
outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of partners required by
law or by the Agreement, the affirmative vote or consent of holders of at least
50% of the outstanding Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units will be necessary
for effecting any amendment of any of the provisions of the Partnership Unit
Designation of the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units that materially and
adversely affects the rights or preferences of the holders of the Class Eight
Partnership Preferred Units. The creation or issuance of any class or series of
Partnership Units, including, without limitation, any Partnership Units that may
have rights junior to, on a parity with, or senior or superior to the Class
Eight Partnership Preferred Units, will not be deemed to materially and
adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of the Class Eight
Partnership Preferred Units. With respect to the exercise of the above-described
BB-5
7
voting rights, each Class Eight Partnership Preferred Unit will have one (1)
vote per Class Eight Partnership Preferred Unit.
10. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units are subject to the
same restrictions on transfer applicable to Partnership Common Units, as set
forth in the Agreement.
11. RANKING.
Any class or series of Partnership Units of the Partnership shall be
deemed to rank:
(a) prior or senior to the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units, as
to the payment of distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if (i) the holders of such class or
series shall be entitled to the receipt of distributions and of amounts
distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be,
in preference or priority to the holders of Class Eight Partnership Preferred
Units or (ii) such class or series of Partnership Units shall be Class B
Partnership Preferred Units, Class C Partnership Preferred Units, Class D

Partnership Preferred Units or Class Seven Partnership Preferred Units (the
Partnership Units referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being
hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Senior Partnership Units");
(b) on a parity with the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units, as to
the payment of distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the distribution rates,
distribution payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per unit or other
denomination thereof be different from those of the Class Eight Partnership
Preferred Units if (i) such class or series of Partnership Units shall be
Partnership Common Units, Class I High Performance Partnership Units or Class
Five Partnership Units or (ii) the holders of such class or series of
Partnership Units and the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units shall be
entitled to the receipt of distributions and of amounts distributable upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts
of accrued and unpaid distributions per unit or other denomination or
liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other (the
Partnership Units referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph being
hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "Parity Partnership Units"); and
(c) junior to the Class Eight Partnership Preferred Units, as to the
payment of distributions and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, if the holders of Class Eight Partnership Preferred
Units shall be entitled to receipt of distributions or of amounts distributable
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference
or priority to the holders of such class or series of Partnership Units (the
Partnership Units referred to in this paragraph being hereinafter referred to,
collectively, as "Junior Partnership Units").
