(a) General Restriction. Except as permitted in Section 3.2(b) hereof, Section 4.8 hereof and ARTICLE 12 hereof, a Member shall not make an assignment, transfer, exchange, or other disposition, voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law (collectively, a "Transfer") of all or any portion of or any interest in its Membership Interest, nor pledge, mortgage, hypothecate, grant a security interest in, or otherwise encumber (an "Encumbrance") all or any portion of or any interest in its Membership Interest, including a transfer, assignment, hypothecation or pledge of its Financial Rights, including any right to receive distributions from the Company. Any attempted Transfer or Encumbrance of all or any portion of a Membership Interest, other than strictly in accordance with such provisions, shall be void. In addition, any Transfer or Encumbrance of a direct or indirect ownership or beneficial interest in a Member shall be included within the meaning of, and shall be deemed to be a "Transfer" or "Encumbrance" by such Member and prohibited by the first sentence of this Section 3.2(a). Except as permitted in Section 3.2(b) hereof and Section 4.8(b) hereof, a Person to whom a Membership Interest is Transferred may be admitted to the Company as a Member only with the consent of the other Members, which may be given or withheld in each other Member's sole and absolute discretion. In connection with any Transfer of a Membership Interest or any portion thereof, and any admission of an assignee as a Member, the Member making such Transfer and the assignee shall furnish the other Members with such documents regarding the Transfer as the other Members may reasonably request (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Member), including a copy of the Transfer instrument, a ratification by the assignee of this Agreement (if the assignee is to be admitted as a Member), evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other Members that such Transfer will not cause the Company or any Subsidiary to be in breach of or default under any credit agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other agreement encumbering a Project or otherwise binding on the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective assets, and a legal opinion issued to the Company and the other Members that the Transfer (i) complies with applicable federal and state securities laws and (ii) will not cause the Company to be classified as other than a "partnership" (but not a publicly traded partnership) for federal income tax purposes.

(b) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the limitations in Section 3.2(a) hereof:

(1) Investor may, without the consent of the AIMCO Members, cause or allow for the Transfer or granting of Encumbrances in all or a portion of Investor's Membership Interest or ownership interests, direct, indirect, or beneficial, in Investor, so long as (x) Investor is, and in the case of a Transfer or granting of an Encumbrance in all or a portion of Investor's Membership Interest any such transferee or pledgee is, Controlled, directly or indirectly, by GECC, and (y) the transferee or pledgee is not an AIMCO Competitor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Pledge of any direct or indirect interests in Investor shall not constitute an Unpermitted Transfer; provided, however, that the realization on the security, or exercise of the remedies, under any such Pledge will constitute a separate Transfer hereunder, and if such Transfer violates the first sentence of this Section 3.2(b)(1) then the same shall constitute an Unpermitted Transfer, provided, further, however, that the sole remedy for any such separate Unpermitted Transfer shall be to exercise the Buy-Sell Option under Section 12.1(e) hereof.

(2) The AIMCO Members may, without the consent of Investor, cause or allow for the Transfer or granting of Encumbrances in all or a portion of their respective Membership Interests or ownership interests, direct, indirect or beneficial, in any of the AIMCO Members only so long

as the transferee is an entity wholly-owned, directly or indirectly by AIMCO OP or AIMCO REIT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (x) the following shall not constitute an Unpermitted Transfer: (1) the Transfer of shares of AIMCO REIT that does not result in a Change of Control; provided, however, that any Change in Control shall entitle Investor to exercise the Buy-Sell Option under Section 12.1(f) hereof, (2) the Transfer of any limited partnership interests in AIMCO OP, provided, however, that an AIMCO OP LP Transfer Event shall entitle Investor to exercise the Buy-Sell Option under Section 12.1(f) hereof, or (3) any Pledge; provided, however, that the realization on the security, or exercise of the remedies, under any Pledge of any interests in the direct or indirect ownership interest holders of any of the AIMCO Members (other than the AIMCO Interest Holders) will constitute a separate Transfer hereunder, and if such Transfer violates the first sentence of this Section 3.2(b)(2) then the same shall constitute an Unpermitted Transfer; provided further, however, that for so long as the current management team continues to be the sole management team controlling the Company and the AIMCO Members, the sole remedy for such Unpermitted Transfer shall be to exercise the Buy-Sell Option under Section 12.1(e) hereof.

(c) Compliance. If, upon or after any Transfer (including, without limitation, a Change in Control of the AIMCO REIT) the Member to which the Transfer relates is as a result of such Transfer not ultimately controlled by AIMCO OP or GECC, then as a condition precedent to such Transfer the transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company a Compliance Certificate. No such Transfer shall be effective unless and until a Compliance Certificate is so delivered, and any such purported Transfer where a Compliance Certificate is required but is not so delivered shall be deemed an Unpermitted Transfer hereunder. In connection with any such Transfer or Encumbrance of any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Member, whether or not permitted by the other provisions of this Section 3.2, the Member to which the Transfer or Encumbrance relates shall make such reasonable investigations to confirm that any such transferee and each owner of a direct or indirect interest in such transferee (other than Interest Holders) is not (i) a Prohibited Person, (ii) included on any Government Lists, (iii) a Person who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in any of the OFAC Laws and Regulations, (iii) a Person who has been previously indicted for or convicted of any Moral Turpitude Event or for any Terrorism Law Offenses, (iv) currently under investigation by any Governmental Authority for alleged criminal activity, (v) a Person who has a reputation in the community for criminal or unethical behavior, and (vi) if such Person is a Financial Institution, whether the transferee complies with the requirements of a Financial Institution under the Patriot Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, any other law of similar import applicable to Financial Institutions, and any regulations promulgated under any of them.

(d) Limited Remedies. In the event of an Unpermitted Transfer relating to Investor, the AIMCO Members shall be entitled to exercise, as their sole remedy, the Buy-Sell Option under ARTICLE 12 hereof. In the event of an Unpermitted Transfer relating to any of the AIMCO Members, Investor shall be entitled to exercise, as its sole remedies, (x) its removal rights under Section 4.8 hereof, and/or (y) the Buy-Sell Option under ARTICLE 12 hereof; provided, however, that (1) a Change in Control of AIMCO REIT will entitle Investor only to exercise the Buy-Sell Option under ARTICLE 12 hereof, and (2) if the realization or exercise of remedies under any Pledge occurs, then the Buy-Sell Option under ARTICLE 12 hereof shall be Investor's sole remedy so long as the management team on the Effective Date continues after the realization or exercise to be the sole management team controlling the Company, the Subsidiaries, and the AIMCO Members.

(e) Publicly Traded Partnership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer of an interest in the Company may be effected that would cause the Company to be treated as a publicly traded partnership under Section 7704 of the Code.

Section 3.3 Creation of Additional Membership Interests. Additional Membership Interests shall not be created or issued to existing Members or to other Persons, except as expressly provided under

this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 4.8(b) hereof, where such admission is so authorized, such admission of any new Member(s) shall be reflected in an amendment to this Agreement which shall be valid if executed by all Members.

Section 4.3 Annual Business Plan.

(a) Operation Under Business Plan. The Manager will operate the Company in accordance with a strategic business plan approved in accordance with this Section. Any business plan that is in effect with respect to any Fiscal Year, as it may be amended, is called the "Annual Business Plan".

(b) Contents of Annual Business Plan. The Annual Business Plan, which shall in all respects be approved by each Member, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, will include (i) an executive summary in sufficient detail as reasonably requested by any Member outlining the business strategy and budgeted and forecasted financial information for the upcoming period and (ii) a comprehensive statement setting forth the overall plan for the business of the Company and each Subsidiary, including proposed Project acquisitions, financings and refinancings, repair or renovation (in all cases, to the extent then known or reasonably anticipated), and (iii) the following criteria for the operation of the Company during the Fiscal Year to which it relates: (i) the Operating Budget for the Company, including anticipated reserves, (ii) the Project Operating Budget for each Project, (including, without limitation, anticipated reserves, including, without limitation, the Capital Reserve and the Tax and Insurance Reserve for each Project), (iii) projected Available Cash for each Project, (iv) for forecasting purposes only, an estimated schedule of proposed calls for Capital Contributions for the Fiscal Year, and certain fees and expenses, including those relating to Deferred Maintenance, if any, and (v) any other relevant matters as reasonably determined by Investor. In preparing and approving each Annual Business Plan and any revisions or amendments thereto, the Manager and the Members will consider, among other things, the previous year's experience, and current and projected market conditions.

(1) The Annual Business Plan for the balance of Fiscal Year 2003 is attached as Schedule 4.3 hereto. With respect to each subsequent Fiscal Year, the Manager will, on or before December 1 of the year immediately preceding such Fiscal Year, present a proposed Annual Business Plan for the next succeeding Fiscal Year to the Members for their approval. The Manager shall prepare and present to the Members any interim Operating Budgets and Project Operating Budgets requested by Investor to assist in Investor's internal budgeting and forecasting process (which currently occur in May and September), or as necessary should market conditions change substantially with respect to a Project.

(2) With respect to Fiscal Year 2004 and each Fiscal Year thereafter, if an Annual Business Plan has not been approved unanimously in accordance with this Section 4.3 with respect to any Fiscal Year by January 1 of such Fiscal Year, the Annual Business Plan in effect for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year (the "Old Business Plan") will serve as the interim Annual Business Plan; provided, however, that (1) the Members may approve one or more Project Operating Budgets without approving the Annual Business Plan of which such Project Operating Budget(s) form(s) a part, and (2) for a Project Operating Budget that the Members do not specifically approve,

(v) the line items in the previous Fiscal Year's Project Operating Budget for Non-Controllable Expenses for such Project will be modified in that Project's Fiscal Year Project Operating Budget to equal the amounts actually expended during the previous Fiscal Year for such items at such Project, as Inflation Adjusted;

(w) the line item in the previous Fiscal Year's Project Operating Budget for the Tax and Insurance Reserve for the Project will be modified in that Project's Fiscal Year Project Operating Budget such that (i) if a third party Mortgage Loan lender is escrowing for all amounts, then the Tax and Insurance Reserve line item shall be zero, and (ii) if a third party Mortgage Loan lender is not escrowing for such amounts, then the aggregate Tax and Insurance Reserve line item shall be equal to the aggregate amount of taxes and insurance costs and premiums due in the previous Fiscal Year and shall be required to be deposited in twelve (12) equal monthly installments into a separate Company or Subsidiary account;

(x) the line items in the previous Fiscal Year's Project Operating Budget for all expenses (other than (i) Non-Controllable Expenses and (ii) the items set forth in clauses (v), (w),

(y) and (z)) for such Project, and specifically including the Capital Reserve line item, will be modified in that Project's Fiscal Year Project Operating Budget to be the amounts budgeted in the previous Fiscal Year's Project Operating Budget for such items, as Inflation Adjusted;

(y) the property management fees in the previous Fiscal Year's Project Operating Budget for such Project will be modified in that Project's Fiscal Year Project Operating Budget as provided in Section 4.12 hereof; and

(z) the one-time expense line items and line items for reserves (other than the Capital Reserve and the Tax and Insurance Reserve) in the previous Fiscal Year's Project Operating Budget for such Project will be eliminated from that Project's Fiscal Year Project Operating Budget, provided, however, that Capital Enhancements and Capital Replacements proposed by the AIMCO Members for such Project Operating Budget shall be deemed to be approved so long as the costs of such expenditures are not paid with Additional Capital Contributions and are otherwise able to be paid and are so paid only pursuant to Section 4.3(d) hereof.

(3) If the Members do not approve an Annual Business Plan by March 1, then the Old Business Plan, as modified under Section 4.2(c)(2) hereof, shall be deemed to be approved as the Annual Business Plan, and such Annual Business Plan, as so approved, shall be the Annual Business Plan of the Company for such Fiscal Year.

(4) The failure to include in an Annual Business Plan, an Operating Budget, or a Project Operating Budget, any such relevant information as reasonably determined by Investor under clause (v) of Section 4.3(b) hereof shall constitute either (x) a Company Major Dispute, if the information related to the Company in general, or (y) a Project Major Dispute, if the relevant information related only to a particular Project, in which event only Investor shall be entitled to exercise the Buy-Sell Option under Section 12.1(a) hereof or Section 12.1(b) hereof, as the case may be.

(5) Upon the approved or deemed approval of an Annual Business Plan, the previously effective Annual Business Plan shall be completely superceded and no longer effective.

(d) Capital Reserve.

(1) Capital expenditures (including, without limitation, Capital Enhancements and Capital Replacements) may only be incurred if set forth in the Project Operating Budgets, for Emergency Situation Responses, or as otherwise approved by the Members. The Operating Budget shall provide for a "spend or accrue" capital reserve (the "Capital Reserve") to be used for capital expenditures set forth in Project Operating Budgets, for Emergency Situation Responses and other expenditures approved by the Members. Subject to Section 4.3(d)(2) hereof and Section 4.3(d)(3) hereof, for each Fiscal Year the Company and the Subsidiaries shall spend or reserve in cash, on an aggregate pooled basis for all Projects, $500 (Inflation Adjusted) per apartment unit of each Project owned by the Company or a Subsidiary during such Fiscal Year (as prorated based upon the number of days of ownership of each of such Projects). Any amounts so reserved at the end of a Fiscal Year shall be deposited in an interest bearing account (the "Capital Reserve Account") and such amounts (including interest thereon) shall be available for use during the subsequent Fiscal Year. Should any Project sale occur, then the Members shall agree upon a proportional reduction of such amounts so carried over and available during the subsequent Fiscal Year, taking into account the number of units in such Project sold, and with the excess distributed by the Company as Available Cash. All such capital expenditures will be paid first with funds on deposit in the Capital Reserve Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all capital expenditures, and the plans and specifications therefor, in excess of $100,000 and relating to the life/safety or structural aspects of a Project must be approved in advance by an engineer approved by Investor.

(2) If the cost of any proposed capital expenditures for a Project, when taken in the aggregate with the cost of all other previous capital expenditures for such Project within any Fiscal Year, would exceed $1,000 (Inflation Adjusted) per apartment unit for such Project in any Fiscal Year, then no capital expenditures in excess of such $1,000 (Inflation Adjusted) threshold shall be made, incurred or committed unless and until the Members have contributed to the Company Additional Capital Contributions to pay for the cost of such proposed capital expenditures in excess of such $1,000 (Inflation Adjusted) threshold, and other Company funds, including, without limitation, Capital Reserve funds, shall not be used to pay for any of such proposed capital expenditures in excess of such $1,000 (Inflation Adjusted) threshold without the approval of the Members.

(3) If the cost of any proposed capital expenditures for a Project, when taken in the aggregate with all other previous capital expenditures for all Projects within any Fiscal Year, would exceed the $500 (Inflation Adjusted) per apartment unit for all Projects (as prorated based upon the number of days of ownership of each of such Projects), then no capital expenditures in excess of such threshold shall be made, incurred or committed unless and until the Members have contributed to the Company Additional Capital Contributions to pay for all of such proposed capital expenditures in excess of such threshold, and other Company funds, including, without limitation, Capital Reserve funds, shall not be used to pay for any of such proposed capital expenditures in excess of the threshold without the approval of the Members.

(4) No Project, or interest in any Project, shall be sold, exchanged or Transferred to any AIMCO Member, AIMCO OP, or any Affiliate of any of them, including, without limitation under ARTICLE 12 hereof or ARTICLE 13 hereof, if the cumulative capital expenditures made for such Project from and after the Effective Date exceed the Allocated CapEx Amount for such Project, unless the AIMCO Members pay to the Company such excess amount, in addition to the purchase price for such Project. As used herein, "Allocated CapEx Amount" means, for a Project, the sum of the $500 (Inflation Adjusted) per unit per year for such Project. By way of example only, if a Project had 1000 units, and in Fiscal Year 2 the CPI increased by one percent (1%), then the Allocated CapEx Amount for such Project would be $1,005,000, being the sum of $500,000 ($500 multiplied by 1000 units) for the first Fiscal Year and $505,000 ($500 per unit as Inflation Adjusted) for the second Fiscal Year. Amounts paid to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.3(d)(4) shall not be treated as Capital Contributions for purposes of computing the Members' Capital Accounts or other Accounts.

(e) Tax and Insurance Reserve. To the extent that a third party Mortgage Loan lender is not escrowing amounts to pay taxes and insurance costs and premiums with respect to a Project, then the Project Operating Budget for such Project shall contain a line item for a tax and insurance reserve (the "Tax and Insurance Reserve"). The Company shall cause the Subsidiary that owns such Project to reserve on a monthly basis one-twelfth (¹/12) of the amounts sufficient to pay, when due, taxes and insurance costs and premiums for such Project.

Section 4.4 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 4.5 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 4.6 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 4.7 Officers. The Manager, with the approval of the Members, may designate one or more Persons to be officers of the Company ("Officers"), and any officer so designated shall have such title, authorities and duties, as the Manager may delegate to them; however, no such Officer shall be an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not receive any compensation or other remuneration from the Company or any Subsidiary. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause, by the Manager.

Section 4.8 Removal of Manager.

(a) The AIMCO Managing Member may be removed as the Manager by Investor as provided herein under the following circumstances (each, a "Removal Event"):

(1) If AIMCO REIT, AIMCO OP, any of the AIMCO Members or any of their respective Affiliates suffers or commits one or more breaches or defaults of this Agreement or any of the other organizational or formation documents of the Company or one or more Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the Contribution and Sale Agreements, (other than the items set forth in clauses (2) through (6) of this Section 4.8 or a Section 4.16(e) Breach), which breaches or defaults, in the aggregate, have or may be reasonably anticipated to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, one or more Subsidiaries or Projects or Investor, and, if such breach or default is curable, such breach or default is not cured (x) in the case of a monetary default, within ten (10) Business Days after written notice by Investor to the Manager; or (y) in the case of a non-monetary default, within thirty (30) days after written notice by Investor to the Manager or the AIMCO Managing Member, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such non-monetary default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period and the AIMCO Members are diligently and in good faith pursuing such cure, then instead of such thirty (30) day period the AIMCO Members shall have a reasonable period of time to cure such breach or default not to exceed ninety (90) days after such written notice;

The occurrence or existence of any of the foregoing events, conditions or circumstances with respect to or by any additional Members holding their Membership Interests in the Company through or as successors to any AIMCO Member shall also constitute a Removal Event.

(b) Within one hundred eighty (180) days after Investor becomes aware of the occurrence or existence of a Removal Event, Investor may remove the AIMCO Managing Member as the Manager, and if the AIMCO Managing Member is removed as Manager, then (i) Investor may appoint a new Manager selected by Investor and approved by the AIMCO Members, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (provided, however, Investor may appoint itself or an Affiliate of GECC that is engaged in the real estate business as Manager without approval by the AIMCO Members), and pay such new Manager a reasonable compensation for such services, as determined by Investor; (ii) the rights of the Members to distributions under Section 8.2 hereof and Section 8.3 hereof shall be modified as provided in Schedule 4.8 hereto, and (iii) Investor may admit any Person that is the replacement Manager as a Member without the consent or approval of the AIMCO Members and may assign to such new Member any portion of Investor's distribution rights pursuant to ARTICLE 8 and Capital Sharing Ratio as Investor determines (in which event the distribution rights and Capital Sharing Ratio of Investor then shall be reduced by the distribution rights and Capital Sharing Ratio allocated to the new Member). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the replacement Manager shall not be required to be admitted as a Member.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Removal Event and if the AIMCO Managing Member is removed as Manager in accordance with the preceding paragraph, then in addition (i) and at the option of Investor, Investor may cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to terminate, without payment of any fees, penalty or other compensation (other than compensation earned and due through the date of termination), all Property Management Agreements and other contracts between the Company, on the one hand, and AIMCO REIT, AIMCO OP, any AIMCO Member, or any of their Affiliates or any officers or employees of any of them, on the other hand, and replace such party with a Person selected by Investor and approved by the AIMCO Members, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (provided, however, that no approval shall be required if the replacement is Investor or an Affiliate of GECC or Investor); and (ii) within fifteen (15) Business Days of AIMCO Managing Member's removal as Manager either Investor or the replacement Manager shall file an amendment to the Certificate in accordance with the Act to remove "AIMCO" from the Company's name and the Company shall assign, as soon as is practical thereafter, all of its rights to the name "AIMCO" to the AIMCO Managing Member and cease from using the name "AIMCO"; provided, however, that so long as the Company is diligently proceeding to eliminate the use of the name "AIMCO" from its business operations, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to continue to use the name "AIMCO", at no cost, until the elimination of such name from the business operations has been achieved.

Section 4.9 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Manager shall receive reimbursement for its customary and reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred in providing manager services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with an approved Operating Budget, including without limitation, the budgeted and actually and reasonably incurred fees and expenses of outside legal counsel and auditors but specifically excluding any reimbursement for overhead costs.

If any such service or activity is so provided, then the same shall be provided on commercially reasonable terms.

(b) Termination of Agreements with Affiliates. Upon (i) the removal of the AIMCO Managing Member as Manager under Section 4.8 hereof, or (2) the consummation of any sale or buy-sell under ARTICLE 12 hereof or ARTICLE 13 hereof, or any closing where Investor, GECC, General Electric Company, or an Affiliate of any of them acquires the Membership Interest of the AIMCO Managing Member, then Investor may, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, terminate any and all agreements (other than this Agreement) between the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) and the AIMCO Members or any of their Affiliates relating to such Project or Projects without payment of any fees, penalties or other compensation (other than fees earned for work undertaken before the date of termination), and all such agreements shall contain a provision that allows for the exercise of Investor's rights under this Section 4.11(b) hereof.

(3) Impermissible Tenant Service Income. The Manager may cause the Company to enter into one or more arrangements with Affiliates of AIMCO REIT to provide tenant services that, if performed by the Company or a Subsidiary, would create "impermissible tenant service income" under Section 856(d) of the Code, but only as long as (i) for such arrangement, the estimated income by the Affiliate of AIMCO REIT thereunder and the economic terms of such arrangement by such Affiliate from the Company or an applicable Subsidiary are specifically set forth in an

approved Annual Business Plan or an approved Operating Budget, (ii) the sum, without duplication, of (a) the revenue that, but for such arrangement, would otherwise have been received by the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, plus (b) the amount (expressed as a positive number) of any fees and other reimbursements required to be paid by the Company or the Subsidiary to such Affiliate in connection with such arrangement, if applicable, does not exceed $100,000 per annum in the aggregate for all such arrangements, and (iii) the documentation of such arrangement has been approved by Investor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this indemnity shall not apply to actions constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the indemnified Person, but shall apply to actions constituting simple negligence by the indemnified Person. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself, the Manager, any Officer, each Member and any employee, representative or agent of the Manager or a Member, the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person under this Section 4.14. This indemnification obligation shall be limited to the assets of Company and no Member shall be required to make a Capital Contribution in respect thereof. Nothing contained in this Section 4.14 is intended to obligate the Company or its Subsidiaries to provide liability or other insurance on behalf of the Property Manager.

Section 4.15 Conflicts of Interest. Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, each Member and each of its Affiliates and Officers may engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any and every type and description, independently or with others, including ones in competition with the Company or its Subsidiaries, with no obligation to offer to the Company, any other Member, Manager or Officer the right to participate therein or to account therefor. Without limiting the foregoing, no Member nor any Affiliate of any Member shall be prevented or restricted in any way from owning, financing, managing, advising, franchising or leasing any property or real estate company, even if such activity is in direct competition with the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.16 Integrity Policy; Terrorism Compliance Procedures.

(a) The Manager and the Members will use their respective good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company, each of the Subsidiaries and, as it relates to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Property Manager to conduct their respective businesses in accordance with the Company's Integrity Policy, the Terrorism Compliance Procedures, OFAC Laws and Regulations, and all applicable Governmental Requirements, including those relating to money laundering and terrorism. The Manager shall not allow the Company or its Subsidiaries to do business or engage in a Financial Transaction with any Prohibited Person (it being acknowledged that any breach of the previous sentence shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by the AIMCO Members that has a Material Adverse Effect and is subject to cure within ninety (90) days pursuant to Section 4.8(a)(1) hereof).

(b) The Company, the Members and the Manager hereby approve and adopt the anti-money laundering policy and customer identification program attached hereto as Schedule 4.16(b) (as amended from time to time, the "AML Policy").

(c) Investor shall have the right to audit the Company's and, as it relates to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Property Manager's compliance with the Company's Integrity Policy, the Terrorism Compliance Procedures, OFAC Laws and Regulations, and all applicable Governmental Requirements having jurisdiction over the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, including those relating to money laundering and terrorism. Investor may request the Company to change or modify the Company's Integrity Policy and Terrorism Compliance Procedures (including, without limitation, the AML Policy consistent with GECC's company-wide policies and procedures, and the failure of the Company to adopt such changes shall constitute a Major Dispute. In the event that the Company or Property Manager fails to comply with the Company's Integrity Policy, the Terrorism Compliance Procedures, OFAC Laws and Regulations, or any such Governmental Requirements, then Investor may, at its option, cause the Company to comply therewith and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Investor in connection therewith shall constitute Operating Expenses of the applicable Projects and Subsidiaries (as allocated based upon the ratio of Net Project Values of the Projects affected), shall be repaid with Company funds in due course, and shall neither be deemed Capital Contributions by Investor nor credited to Investor's Capital Account or other Accounts.

(d) In connection with the purchase, sale, other transfer or lease of any real property, personal property, or other assets, including any sale pursuant to ARTICLE 13 hereof, the Company shall comply with the provisions of the AML Policy.

(e) With respect to "significant transactions" (as defined in the AML Policy) or "red flags" (as defined in the AML Policy), the Company shall make such reasonable investigations in light of the circumstances to confirm that any such seller, purchaser, other transferee or lessee and the individual(s) Controlling such seller, purchaser, other transferee or lessee (i) have not been previously indicted for or convicted of any Moral Turpitude Event, and (ii) are not currently under investigation by any Governmental Authority for alleged criminal activity. In this regard, any Member may require that the Company (at the Company's expense) conduct all reasonable due diligence necessary to confirm that any such seller, purchaser, other transferee or lessee conforms to the requirements of the previous sentence (it being acknowledged that transactions with U.S. Publicly-Traded or Pension Entities will require a lower and less comprehensive level of due diligence). Any breach of this Section 4.16(e) shall constitute a "Section 4.16(e) Breach".

Section 4.17 No Employees. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries will have any employees. Any Persons providing asset or property management services for the Company or any Subsidiary shall be employees of the Property Manager or its Affiliates and not of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.18 Insurance. The Manager shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to maintain insurance in accordance with the Insurance Program. As long as AIMCO REIT, any AIMCO Member, or any of their Affiliates, is the Property Manager of a Project, then the AIMCO Managing Member will cause property hazard and general liability insurance coverages for such Projects to be obtained and maintained from a carrier approved by the Members and in accordance with the Company's Insurance Program, as approved by the Members from time to time (it being understood that all such insurance premiums shall be amortized on a "straight-line" basis). Any insurance procured by the AIMCO Managing Member under a blanket or similar policy of AIMCO OP or an Affiliate of AIMCO OP shall not be maintained after the consummation of the Buy-Sell Option pursuant to ARTICLE 12 hereof if the buyer is not an AIMCO Member or an Affiliate thereof and if the Project(s) have been charged insurance premiums or fees for periods after the consummation of the Buy-Sell Option, then the AIMCO Managing Member shall cause the Company or the Subsidiary to be reimbursed for such portion of insurance premiums or fees relating to periods after the consummation of the Buy-Sell Option without cost, expense, charge or penalty to the Company or the Subsidiaries. The cost of such insurance will be billed separately to the Projects as described in Section 4.12 hereof. Proof of coverage will be provided to the Members promptly upon request.

Section 4.19 Selection of Company Counsel.

(a) The appointment of any law firm as (i) general counsel to the Company and its Subsidiaries, or (ii) as special counsel to the Company regarding any environmental issues or matters, is a Major Decision to be decided by the Members.

(b) Subject to Section 4.19(a) hereof, the Manager shall have the authority to appoint counsel to represent the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to the litigation described in clauses (A) and (B) of paragraph (11) of the definition of "Major Decision".

(c) The Members hereby consent to the appointment of counsel to represent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by the Company's insurer(s) so long as the amount or amounts claimed do not exceed the limits of coverage under the Company's policies and the insurer(s) has assumed defense of the claim without a reservation of rights; provided, however, if the amount claimed in any such action exceeds $100,000, then the Members not Affiliated with the Manager may engage, at the Company's expense, separate counsel to represent the Company in addition to counsel appointed by the insurer(s).

(d) If the Members cannot agree on the selection of a law firm to serve as general counsel to the Company in accordance with Section 4.19(a) hereof or on the selection of a law firm to represent the Company or a Subsidiary with respect to the litigation described in Section 4.19(c) hereof or otherwise, then the Member proposing the engagement of counsel shall submit the names of no more than five (5) nor less than three (3) proposed law firms to the other Members and the other Members shall either select one of such firms which shall be deemed accepted or submit a proposed list from which the original proposing Member shall select counsel to be engaged.

ARTICLE 5
ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING

Section 5.1 Fiscal Year, Accounts, Reports.

(a) The fiscal year of the Company and each Subsidiary (the "Fiscal Year") shall be the calendar year.

(b) The books of account of the Company and each Subsidiary shall be kept and maintained by the Manager at the Manager's expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied; provided, however that the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be maintained in accordance with ARTICLE 9 hereof. The books of account shall be kept at the principal place of business of the Company, and shall at all times be available for inspection by the Members. The Members agree that, for purposes of preparing financial statements of the Company, the Projects will be recorded initially at their respective Gross Project Value established upon their contribution or sale to the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be.

(c) The allocation of GAAP profits and losses to the Members will be determined through the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value ("HLBV") method. Under HLBV, the amount of GAAP profits and losses to be recognized is determined without regard to unrealized increases or decreases in the estimated current values of the Company's assets. For each accounting period, GAAP profits and losses allocated to each Member are based on an analysis of the respective Member's net book equity assuming a sale of the Company's assets at depreciated historical cost at the end of that accounting period with no resultant gain or loss. For purposes of this calculation and allocation, a Member's net book equity at any date is equal to the amount that the Member would receive (or be obligated to pay) if the Company were to distribute, in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof, an amount equal to all of its assets less liabilities determined in accordance with GAAP. The share of GAAP profits and losses to be allocated to each Member in any given period should reflect the net change during the period in each Member's net book equity, adjusted for the effects of (1) any transfers of all or a portion of one Member's interest to another Member, (2) Capital Contributions, and (3) distributions.

(d) The Manager shall, at the Manager's expense, furnish to the Members, in the form attached hereto as Schedule 5.1(d), (i) on or before forty-five (45) days after the end of each quarter, an unaudited balance sheet of each Project and, on a consolidated basis, the Company dated as of the end of such quarter and an unaudited statement setting forth and describing in reasonable detail the receipts and expenditures of each Project, and, on a consolidated basis, the Company during the preceding quarter and comparing the results of operations of each Project and the Company for such quarter and for the year to date to the appropriate Project Operating Budget and the Operating Budget, including a variance report describing the reason for any material variances and a current occupancy report (both physical and economic), a statement of the Company's Available Cash, Capital Proceeds and Net Refinancing Proceeds for the preceding quarter, and a construction job cost report for each Project, the final completion date for which has not occurred, (ii) on or before ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, a balance sheet of the Company dated as of the end of such Fiscal Year, a statement of operations for such Fiscal Year, and a statement of the Company's cash flows for such Fiscal Year as of the end of such Fiscal Year, all as audited by the Auditor, an unaudited statement setting forth the Profits and Losses of the Company for such Fiscal Year, an unaudited statement setting forth the Company's Available Cash, Capital Proceeds, Refinancing Proceeds, and Capital Reserve balance, the Members' Capital Accounts, and Investor's Capital Contribution Accounts, all as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and an unaudited Fiscal Year end balance sheet, Profit and Loss statement, and a statement of Available Cash, Net Operating Income and Capital Proceeds for each Project and (iii) from time to time, all other information relating to each Subsidiary and the Company and their respective business, affairs and assets reasonably requested by any Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cost of the annual audit performed by the Auditor shall be made at the Company's expense, and the Manager shall, at the Manager's expense, promptly furnish to Investor any other information requested by Investor, including, without limitation, support for standard planning sessions in which Investor participates.

(e) Each Member, at its expense, may at all reasonable times during usual business hours audit, examine, and make copies of or extracts from the books of account, records, files, and bank statements of each Subsidiary and the Company. Such right may be exercised by any Member, or by its designated agents or employees.

Section 5.2 Bank Accounts. Subject always to Section 4.1(b) hereof, the Manager shall open and maintain (in the name of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as appropriate) a bank account or accounts in a bank or savings and loan association, the deposits of which are insured, up to the applicable limits, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and rated "A" or better by Standard & Poor's in which shall be deposited all funds of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Investor may approve changes or deviations to the requirements of this Section in connection with any requirements imposed by lenders in making a Loan to the Company or a Subsidiary.

ARTICLE 6
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.1 Project Capital Contributions.

(a) The Members shall make Capital Contributions to the Company (collectively, the "Project Capital Contributions") in accordance with and as more particularly described in Schedule 6.1(a) attached hereto. For all other Projects agreed to be contributed to the Company, the Members shall make Project Capital Contributions thereafter as determined by the Members.

(b) The commitment to make Project Capital Contributions is not a "revolving" commitment. Any obligation of the Members to make Project Capital Contributions shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 6.2 Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) Each Member shall make Additional Capital Contributions in proportion to such Member's Capital Sharing Ratio, as may be approved by the Members, for the conduct of the Company's business, maintenance of its assets, and discharge of its liabilities. Investor's Capital Contribution Account and Capital Account, and the AIMCO Members' Capital Accounts, shall be credited in the amount of any such Additional Capital Contributions made by such Member. From time to time as the Company or any Subsidiary requires funds to conduct its business, the Manager, with the written consent of the Members, shall notify the Members of the amount of funds requested, the use and purpose of such funds, and each Member's requested contribution amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Additional Capital Contributions shall be required for, and must be made in advance of undertaking, any of the following: (a) any acquisition, development, redevelopment, or renovation of any Project, or making any capital expenditure that is outside of the parameters set forth in Section 4.3(d) hereof; (b) restoring a Project or portions thereof affected by a casualty or condemnation other than to its original condition (or as close thereto as is reasonably practicable); or (c) funding any Company, Subsidiary or Project reserves, other than the Capital Reserve in accordance with Section 4.3(d) hereof. For avoidance of doubt, except as provided in Section 6.3 hereof, no Additional Capital Contribution shall be required unless the Members so agree to make such Additional Capital Contributions.

(c) If the Members agree to make Additional Capital Contributions under this Section 6.2, or Section 6.3 hereof, then the Members shall make such Additional Capital Contributions within ten (10) Business Days after the date such notice is given.

Section 6.3 Deferred Maintenance.

(a) For each Project requiring Deferred Maintenance work, as identified in Schedule 1.1(DM) to each of the Contribution and Sale Agreements, such work shall be completed on or prior to the first (1^st) anniversary of the closing of the acquisition of the Project. Each Member shall be required to fund (or be deemed to have funded) as Project Capital Contributions such Member's share of the Deferred Maintenance. The funding or deemed funding of such Deferred Maintenance shall occur on a progress billing basis, meaning that funding will occur or be deemed to have occurred after (but not until) such costs and expenses are incurred and that portion of the Deferred Maintenance work is completed. Deferred Maintenance will be funded as follows:

(1) first, if the Subsidiary for which Deferred Maintenance is completed has funds on hand from Available Cash, then such Subsidiary shall apply the same to fund such Deferred Maintenance, and such amounts so applied from Available Cash of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Company and then to the Members as a special distribution to the Members, allocated in accordance with the Capital Sharing Ratios, which amounts are then contributed by the Members to the Company as Project Capital Contributions in accordance with the Members' Capital Sharing Ratios, and which the Company then contributes as capital contributions to such Subsidiary for such Deferred Maintenance at such Project;

(2) then, if such Subsidiary's funds on hand from Available Cash are not sufficient to fund all of such Deferred Maintenance but the Company has funds on hand from Available Cash, then the Company shall fund as much of the Deferred Maintenance from such Subsidiaries' funds in hand pursuant to clause (1) above, and such remaining Deferred Maintenance Amounts shall be paid for by the Company contributing to such Subsidiary such necessary amounts to fund such remaining Deferred Maintenance, and such amounts from Available Cash of the Company shall be deemed to have been distributed as a special distribution to the Members, allocated in accordance with the Capital Sharing Ratios, which amounts are then contributed by the Members to the Company as Project Capital Contributions in accordance with the Members' Capital Sharing

Ratios, and which the Company then contributes as capital contributions to such Subsidiary for such Deferred Maintenance at such Project; and

(3) finally, if such Subsidiary's and the Company's aggregate funds on hand from Available Cash are not sufficient to fund such Deferred Maintenance, then the Members shall contribute to the Company as Project Capital Contributions such necessary amounts to fund such Deferred Maintenance in proportion to the Member's Capital Sharing Ratio and the Company will immediately contribute such amounts to such Subsidiary to fund such Deferred Maintenance. If Project Capital Contributions are required from the Members under this clause (3), then the Manager shall submit to the Members a Funding Request pursuant to Section 6.3(b) hereof.

(b) The Manager shall call for Project Capital Contributions for Deferred Maintenance under Section 6.3(a)(3) hereof by written notice (a "Funding Request") in the form of Schedule 6.3(b) to the Members. Each Funding Request will specify (i) each Project to which it relates, (ii) the specific purposes for which the Funding Request is being requested, which will correspond to the Deferred Maintenance line items identified in Schedule 1.1(DM) to each of the Contribution and Sale Agreements, (iii) the amount of the Project Capital Contributions being requested (and the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions previously funded for such Project), (iv) any deviations from such Project's approved Project Operating Budget, and (v) the date by which the requested Project Capital Contributions are to be funded by the Members, which must be at least ten (10) Business Days after the date the Funding Request is given unless Investor agrees to a shorter period of time. Investor may condition the funding of the Project Capital Contributions for Deferred Maintenance upon the receipt by Investor of a progress report conducted by engineers approved by Investor and which report is satisfactory to Investor. Upon the request of Investor, the Manager shall promptly deliver to Investor copies of all receipts, invoices, and other materials to substantiate the amounts, payees, and purposes for which the Project Capital Contribution is being requested. Funding Requests shall be given no more frequently than quarterly and each Funding Request shall be in an amount not less than $250,000.00 and shall be made only on or as of the first day of a Fiscal Year quarter; provided, however, that the final Funding Request, the funds of which shall be used to pay the final installment of costs for Deferred Maintenance on all Projects then owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, may be for a lesser amount.

(c) A "Deferred Maintenance Default" shall have occurred if any Member fails to make any Deferred Maintenance Project Capital Contribution under this Section 6.3 by the date due if such failure continues for ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof (the "Deferred Maintenance Default Notice") is given by the Manager or any Member to the Member which has failed to make such Deferred Maintenance Project Capital Contribution.

Section 6.4 Shortfalls.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2 hereof or Section 6.3 hereof, if a cash shortfall exists for the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, (i.e., revenues and applicable funded reserves are less than expenses, including, without limitation, debt service, but exclusive of debt service on Default Loans and Shortfall Loans and the cost of Deferred Maintenance, each of which shall be funded in the manner provided for herein), then the Manager will notify the Members immediately (the "Shortfall Notice") of the nature of and reasons for such cash shortfall and whether the Manager believes that a capital contribution to the applicable Subsidiary or a loan to the Company (a "Shortfall Loan") to fund such cash shortfall is necessary.

(b) Subsidiary Shortfall. If the cash shortfall is with respect to one or more Subsidiaries only and not the Company and, after funding all other requisite Subsidiary cash shortfalls, paying all Company expenses and funding all required Company reserves (including, without limitation, the Capital Reserve and the Tax and Insurance Reserve) the Company has funds on hand from Available Cash, Capital Proceeds or Net Refinancing Proceeds to pay for such cash shortfall, then within five (5) Business Days

after the Shortfall Notice, the Manager shall cause the Company to make a cash capital contribution to the Subsidiary equal to the Shortfall from funds on hand from Available Cash, Capital Proceeds or Net Refinancing Proceeds. The Subsidiary shall thereafter pay for the Subsidiary expense items to which the cash shortfall relates. Any such funding by the Company to a Subsidiary shall be deemed to constitute a special distribution to the Members on the last day of such quarter of such Fiscal Year, in proportion to each Member's Capital Sharing Ratio with such amounts, then immediately contributed by the Members to the Company as Additional Capital Contributions made in proportion to each Member's Capital Sharing Ratio, and with such amounts then immediately contributed by the Company to the Subsidiary as a capital contribution to such Subsidiary. In addition, if at the end of any Fiscal Year of the Company any Project has an overall cash shortfall for such Fiscal Year, then the same shall constitute a "Project Shortfall Event" and either Investor or the AIMCO Members may, at any time during the subsequent Fiscal Year, elect to exercise the Buy-Sell Option with respect to such Project pursuant to Section 12.1(h) hereof.

(i) Minor Shortfall: If the amount of the cash shortfall, when taken together with all outstanding Shortfall Loans to the Company made by any of AIMCO REIT, any of the AIMCO Members, or any of their respective Affiliates, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Net Project Value of all Projects then owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (as determined for each Project upon its sale or contribution to the Company), then within five (5) Business Days after the Shortfall Notice the AIMCO Members shall make (or cause AIMCO REIT, AIMCO OP, or any of their Affiliates to make) a Shortfall Loan to fund such Shortfall; or

(ii) Major Shortfall: If the amount of the cash shortfall, when taken together with all outstanding Shortfall Loans to the Company, made by any of AIMCO REIT, any of the AIMCO Members, or any of their Affiliates, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Net Project Value of all Projects then owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (as determined for each Project upon its sale or contribution to the Company) then the Members must agree in advance whether or not the AIMCO Members will fund such cash shortfall with a Shortfall Loan, with the failure of the Members to agree constituting a Major Dispute.

(d) Terms. All Shortfall Loans shall be cash flow loans, payable in the order and priority set forth in ARTICLE 8 hereof and will accrue interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two percent (2%), compounded quarterly. The AIMCO Members shall be jointly and severally obligated to make, or cause to be made by an Affiliate of the AIMCO Members, Shortfall Loans. All Shortfall Loans to be made by the AIMCO Members hereunder shall be made only by one or more of the following entities: (1) one or more AIMCO Members, (2) AIMCO REIT, or (3) a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AIMCO OP or AIMCO REIT.

(e) Funding by Investor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4, Investor is entitled (but is not obligated) to fund up to fifty percent (50%) of any Shortfall Loan. If the AIMCO Members do not timely make a required Shortfall Loan, then Investor may make the entire Shortfall Loan to the Company as a default loan (a "Default Loan") in accordance with Section 6.4(f) hereof. If the balance of all Shortfall Loans that the AIMCO Members failed to make or caused to be made (exclusive of any Shortfall Loans that Investor elects to make in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 6.4(e)) equals or exceeds the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate Project Capital Contributions previously made by the AIMCO Members for all Projects then-owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the Shortfall Loan Threshold, then the same shall constitute a "Shortfall Loan Default" by the AIMCO Members.

(f) Default Loans. Each Default Loan shall be a loan by Investor to the Company, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be repaid as set forth in Section 8.1(e) hereof and as set forth below. The Capital Account of Investor and the Investor's Capital Contribution Accounts shall not

include a credit for the amount of the Default Loan. The making of a Default Loan by Investor shall not constitute a cure of the Shortfall Loan Default of the AIMCO Members. If a Default Loan is so made by Investor, then the AIMCO Members may cure any such Shortfall Loan Default and satisfy the Default Loan by the AIMCO Members (a) issuing a Shortfall Loan to the Company in the amount of the original balance of such Default Loan and (b) paying to the Company the remaining amounts due under the Default Loans, including, without limitation, the total amount of any unpaid accrued interest thereon and other expenses thereunder or in connection with the Default Loan. Such Shortfall Loan and such payment by the AIMCO Members to the Company shall not constitute Capital Contributions and shall not be credited to the AIMCO Members' Capital Account or other Accounts. Thereafter, the Company shall pay to Investor the remaining balance due to (1) satisfy the Default Loan, including payment of all unpaid accrued interest thereon, and (2) satisfy or otherwise pay the other expenses thereunder or in connection with the Default Loan. The repayment of the Default Loan and payment or reimbursement of any interest or expenses thereunder shall not constitute a distribution to Investor, shall not be debited against Investor's Capital Account or other Accounts, and shall not be considered as a distribution for purposes of determining Investor's Internal Rate of Return hereunder.

(g) Remedies. If a Shortfall Loan Default occurs, then Investor's only remedies are to exercise Investor's rights under Section 4.8 hereof, ARTICLE 12 hereof and ARTICLE 13 hereof.

Section 6.5 Return of Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to (a) the return of any part of its Capital Contributions, (b) any interest in respect of any Capital Contribution, or (c) the fair market value of its Membership Interest in connection with a withdrawal from the Company or otherwise. Unreturned or unrepaid Capital Contributions shall not be a liability of the Company or of any Member. No Member shall be required to contribute or lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member's Capital Contributions to the Company.

Section 6.6 Balances. The Company's books and records shall contain entries indicating the type and amount of Capital Contributions made to the Company and, the balances in the Capital Accounts and other Accounts.

Section 6.7 General Provisions Concerning Capital Contributions. The obligation of the Members to make Capital Contributions under this Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of, or be enforceable by, any Person other than the other Members on behalf of the Company. Investor, on the one hand, and the AIMCO Members, on the other hand, shall not be obligated to make any Capital Contribution in the event a Deferred Maintenance Default shall have occurred with respect to the other.

ARTICLE 7
FINANCING

Section 7.1 Financing.

(a) The Company may obtain on behalf of each Subsidiary, with the prior written approval of the Members, Mortgage Loans. Each Mortgage Loan may be secured by a first priority deed of trust, security deed or mortgage lien on the Project and shall be made on such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Members. Manager shall deliver to Investor all notices, correspondence, and information delivered to or received from the Mortgage Loan lender by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1(a) hereof, the Manager may obtain, on behalf of each Subsidiary, Permitted Mortgage Loans, without the prior written approval of the Members. If the Manager desires for any Subsidiary to enter into a Permitted Mortgage Loan, then the Manager shall deliver a written summary of the terms of any proposed Permitted Mortgage Loan to Investor in advance of closing of any such financing, which summary shall include, without limitation,

the terms listed in clauses (i) through (xii) in the definition of "Permitted Mortgage Loan" in order to provide Investor a reasonable opportunity to review and respond to the same. Investor shall have ten (10) Business Days to respond upon a determination that the terms of the proposed financing do not constitute a Permitted Mortgage Loan hereunder. If Investor has not responded within such ten (10) day period, the Manager shall provide a second notice with a header in all capital letters and BOLD TYPE of at least 14 point in size stating "FINAL NOTICE—FAILURE TO RESPOND SHALL RESULT IN A DEEMED AGREEMENT THAT A MORTGAGE LOAN IS A PERMITTED MORTGAGE LOAN" to Investor informing Investor that Investor has five (5) Business Days to respond or Investor shall be deemed to have consented to such Permitted Mortgage Loan. If Investor does not respond within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such second notice, Investor shall be deemed to have agreed that such Mortgage Loan is a Permitted Mortgage Loan.

(c) If a Mortgage Loan is to be recourse, then it shall be recourse only to the respective Project-owning Subsidiary and any single asset, single purpose entity general partner or managing member of such Subsidiary and shall be non-recourse to the Members and the Company. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the respective Subsidiary will provide the lender any required indemnities or guaranties (collectively, the "Lender Indemnities") only if and as approved by the Members. Under no circumstances shall the Company, Investor, GECC or any GECC Affiliate be required to provide any Lender Indemnities. All such Lender Indemnities shall be on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Members in all instances. The Members will consider whether insurance is economically feasible in lieu of providing any such required indemnities for preexisting environmental and, if applicable, engineering conditions.

Section 7.2 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.3 No Commitment. The Members acknowledge and agree that GECC has not committed or otherwise agreed to make or provide any Loan to the Company or a Subsidairy. Nothing contained herein shall constitute or be deemed to constitute GECC's commitment or other agreement to make or provide a Loan or other financing to the Company or a Subsidiary. GECC shall have no liability to the Manager, the Company, any Subsidiary or the Members in the event the Company's or a Subsidiary's application for a Loan or other financing is rejected. If approved, GECC's commitment to make a Loan or other financing to the Company or a Subsidiary shall be evidenced by a separate writing and shall be executed by GECC.

Section 7.4 Acknowledgement and Waiver. In the event GECC makes or provides a Loan or other financing to the Company or a Subsidiary, the Members hereby acknowledge and agree that GECC shall be treated as, and shall have all the rights, remedies and benefits of, an unrelated third party lender with respect to any such Loan or other financing. No action, consent or authorization of GECC under the documents and instruments evidencing and securing a Loan or other financing shall be construed or imputed as the action, consent or authorization of Investor under this Agreement and no action, consent or authorization of Investor under this Agreement shall be construed or imputed as the action, consent or authorization of GECC under the documents and instruments evidencing and securing any such Loan or other financing. The refusal of GECC to consent to or waive a requirement under any of the documents and instruments evidencing and securing a Loan or other financing shall not be a defense to any default by the Manager, any Member, the Company or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or the documents and instruments evidencing and securing any Loan or other financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither GECC nor any GECC Affiliates, as lender under this ARTICLE 7, owe a fiduciary duty to the Company or its Members.

ARTICLE 8
DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 8.1 Distributions in General. Subject to Section 3.7 hereof,

(a) Available Cash. Within ten (10) Business Days after the end of each quarter of each Fiscal Year, the Manager shall determine the amount, if any, of Available Cash of the Company, each Subsidiary and each Project for such period, and the Company shall (1) cause the Subsidiaries to distribute each Subsidiary's Available Cash to the Company, and (2) distribute the Company's Available Cash to the Members in accordance with Section 8.1(e) hereof and then Section 8.2 hereof.

(b) Capital Proceeds. Upon the consummation of a Capital Transaction resulting in Capital Proceeds, the Company shall distribute such Capital Proceeds to the Members in accordance with Section 8.1(e) hereof and then Section 8.3 hereof.

(d) Special Distributions. Should any special distributions to a Member be unanimously approved by the Members, then the Company shall distribute such special distributions to such Member in accordance with the instructions agreed upon by the Members, and such special distributions shall be made directly to such Member and not pursuant to the other provisions of this ARTICLE 8.

(e) Default Loans and Shortfall Loans. All Available Cash, Capital Proceeds and Net Refinancing Proceeds will be used (1) first, to pay for all principal, interest and other amounts due under all Default Loans, (2) then, to pay for all principal, interest and other amounts due under all Shortfall Loans, and (3) thereafter distributed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8.2 hereof, Section 8.3 hereof or Section 8.4 hereof.

(f) Accounts and Return Accounts.

(1) Capital Contribution Accounts for Multiple Projects. When any amounts distributed to Investor under this ARTICLE 8 are to be made and applied to reduce outstanding balances in Capital Contribution Accounts for multiple Projects, then such amounts shall be allocated and distributed for each such Project to satisfy the outstanding balances in each such Project's Capital Contribution Account on a pro-rata basis based upon the then-outstanding balances in such Capital Contribution Accounts. An example of such allocation is set forth as example 1 in Schedule 8.1(f) attached hereto.

(2) Return Accounts For Multiple Projects.

An example of such allocation is set forth as example 2 in Schedule 8.1(f) attached hereto.

(3) Reduction of Balances Across Return Accounts. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Return Accounts are structured and defined such that any distribution to Investor that reduces an outstanding balance in any one Return Account for a Project will also correspondingly reduce outstanding balances in all other Return Accounts for such Project, until the outstanding balances in each such Return Account, as applicable, is zero.

Such amount will be allocated among the Return Accounts as follows:

(i) first, to the 8.25% Return Account for such Project until the outstanding balance of the 8.25% Return Account for such Project has been reduced to zero;

ARTICLE 9
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS, ALLOCATIONS, AND TAX MATTERS

Section 9.1 Capital Accounts.

(a) Establishment and Maintenance. A separate capital account ("Capital Account") will be maintained for each Member. The Capital Account of each Member will be determined and adjusted as follows:

(1) Each Member's Capital Account will be credited with the cash and the initial Gross Asset Value of any other property contributed to the Company by the Member as Capital Contributions or Additional Capital Contributions, the Member's share of Profits under Section 9.3(b) hereof, any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to the Member under Section 9.3(c) hereof or Section 9.3(d) hereof and the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by the Member or secured by any Company property distributed to the Member.

(2) Each Member's Capital Account will be debited with the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any Company property distributed to the Member under this Agreement, the Member's share of Losses under Section 9.3(a) hereof, any items in the nature of deduction or loss that are specially allocated to the Member under Section 9.3(c) hereof or Section 9.3(d) hereof, and the amount of any liabilities of the Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by the Member to the Company.

(3) If any interest in the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee will succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest.

(b) Modifications by Manager. The provisions of this Section 9.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts have been included in this Agreement to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those provisions. The Manager may, with the consent of the other Members, modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts are maintained under this Section 9.1 to comply with those provisions, as well as upon the occurrence of events that might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with those provisions; however, without the unanimous consent of all Members, the Manager may not make any modification to the way Capital Accounts are maintained if such modification would have the effect of changing the amount of distributions to which any Member would be entitled during the operation, or upon the liquidation, of the Company.

Section 9.2 Adjustment of Gross Asset Value. "Gross Asset Value", with respect to any asset, is the adjusted basis of that asset for federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

(a) The initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Member to the Company will be the Gross Project Value of the asset on the date of the contribution.

(b) The Gross Asset Values of all Company assets will be adjusted to equal the respective gross fair market values of the assets, as determined by the Manager and Investor, as of (1) the

acquisition of an additional interest in the Company by any new or existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis capital contribution, (2) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of Company property as consideration for an interest in the Company if an adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the Company, and (3) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); provided that an adjustment described in clause (1) and (2) of this paragraph shall be made only if the Manager reasonably determines that such adjustment is necessary to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the Company.

(c) The Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to any Member will be the gross fair market value of the asset on the date of distribution.

(d) The Gross Asset Values of Company assets will be increased or decreased to reflect any adjustment to the adjusted basis of the assets under Code Section 734(b) or 743(b), but only to the extent that the adjustment is taken into account in determining Capital Accounts under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), provided that Gross Asset Values will not be adjusted under this Section 9.2 to the extent that the Manager determines that an adjustment under Section 9.2(b) hereof is necessary or appropriate in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment under this Section 9.2(d).

(e) After the Gross Asset Value of any asset has been determined or adjusted under Section 9.2(a) hereof, Section 9.1(b) hereof or Section 9.2(d) hereof, Gross Asset Value will be adjusted by the Depreciation taken into account with respect to the asset for purposes of computing Profits or Losses.

Section 9.3 Profits, Losses and Distributive Shares of Tax Items.

(a) Definitions.

(1) Partially Adjusted Capital Account. The "Partially Adjusted Capital Account" means, with respect to any Member as of the close of business on the last day of any Fiscal Year (an "Adjustment Date"), the Capital Account of such Member as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year, adjusted as set forth in Section 9.1 hereof for all Capital Contributions and distributions during such Fiscal Year and all special allocations pursuant to Section 9.3(c) hereof and Section 9.3(d) hereof, but before giving effect to any allocations of Profits or Losses for such period pursuant to Section 9.3(b) hereof increased by (i) such Member's share of Company Minimum Gain, as determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(d), as of the end of such Fiscal Year and (ii) such Member's share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), as of the end of such Fiscal Year.

(2) Target Capital Account. The "Target Capital Account" means, with respect to any Member as of any Adjustment Date, an amount (which may be either a positive or a deficit balance) equal to the amount such Member would receive as a distribution if all assets of the Company as of such Adjustment Date were sold for cash equal to the Gross Asset Value of such assets, all Company liabilities were satisfied to the extent required by their terms and the net proceeds were distributed as Capital Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.3(Z) hereof.

(b) Allocation of Profits and Losses. After application of Section 9.3(c) hereof and Section 9.3(d) hereof, Profits and Losses for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, in the case of any Profits, the excess (if any) of their respective Target Capital Accounts over their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such Fiscal Year and, in the case of Losses, the excess (if any) of their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts over their respective Target Capital Accounts for such Fiscal Year. No portion of Profits for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to a Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than its Target Capital Account for such Fiscal Year, and no portion of Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to a

Member whose Target Capital Account is greater than or equal to its Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such Fiscal Year.

(c) Special Allocations. The following special allocations will be made in the following order and priority before allocations of Profits and Losses:

(1) Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made, before any other allocation under this Agreement, each Member will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such year determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). The items to be allocated will be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704(2(j)(2). This Section 9.3(c)(1) is intended to comply with the Company Minimum Gain chargeback requirements of the Regulations, will be interpreted consistently with the Regulations and will be subject to all exceptions provided therein.

(2) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.3 (other than Section 9.3(c)(1) hereof which shall be applied first), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made, any Member with a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) as of the beginning of the year will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during such year determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated will be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and Section 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 9.3(c)(2) is intended to comply with the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback requirements of the Regulations, will be interpreted consistently with the Regulations and will be subject to all exceptions provided therein.

(3) Qualified Income Offset. A Member who unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member, if any, as quickly as possible. This Section 9.3(c) is intended to qualify and be construed as a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(4) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a Capital Account deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of the amounts such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.3(c)(4) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a Capital Account deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this ARTICLE 9 have been made as if Section 9.3(c)(3) hereof and this Section 9.3(c)(4) were not in the Agreement.

(5) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which the Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(6) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Capital Sharing Ratios.

(7) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset under Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis), and the gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(d) Other Special Allocations. After making the special allocations in Section 9.3(c) hereof for the Fiscal Year, and prior to making the allocations of Profits and Losses in Section 9.3(b) hereof for such Fiscal Year, the following special allocations shall be made:

(1) If the Company has Profits for any Fiscal Year (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 9.3(d), each Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than its Target Capital Account for such Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated items of Company deduction or loss for such Fiscal Year equal to the difference between the Member's Target Capital Account and the Member's Partially Adjusted Capital Account. In the event the Company has insufficient items of deduction or loss for such Fiscal Year to satisfy the previous sentence with respect to all such Members, the available items of deduction or loss shall be divided among the Members in proportion to the difference.

(2) If the Company has Losses for any Fiscal Year (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 9.3(d)), each Member whose Target Capital Account is greater than its Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated items of Company income or gain for such Fiscal Year equal to the difference between the Member's Target Capital Account and the Member's Partially Adjusted Capital Account. In the event the Company has insufficient items of income or gain for such Fiscal Year to satisfy the previous sentence with respect to all such Members, the available items of income or gain shall be divided among the Members in proportion to the difference.

(3) If the Company has neither Profits nor Losses for any Fiscal Year (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 9.3(d)) and the balance of any Member's Partially Adjusted Capital Account differs from the balance of its Target Capital Account (after making the allocations required by Section 9.3(c) hereof), then the Member with an excess or deficit balance, as the case may be, shall be specially allocated items of Company deduction or loss or income or gain, as the case may be, for such Fiscal Year (to the extent such items are available) to eliminate the difference between its Partially Adjusted Capital Account and its Target Capital Account.

(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, no Member shall be allocated any Losses or items in the nature of deduction or loss pursuant to Section 9.3(b) hereof or this Section 9.3(d) to the extent that such allocation would cause the Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such Fiscal Year. Allocations of Losses that would be made to a Member but for this Section 9.3(d)(4) shall be made to the other Members to the extent not inconsistent with this Section 9.3(d)(4).

(5) If, as part of a Liquidation Event, the Ramblewood Project is distributed to the AIMCO Sub pursuant to either Section 12.12 hereof or Section 13.7 hereof and, as a result, the Gross Asset Value of the Ramblewood Project is adjusted immediately prior to such distribution to equal its gross fair market value as provided in Section 9.2(c) hereof, then the Profits or Losses allocated to AIMCO Sub under Section 9.3(b) hereof and Section 9.2(d) hereof for the Fiscal Year in which

the Ramblewood distribution occurs shall be deemed to consist first of any Profits or Losses arising as a result of the adjustment of the book value of the Ramblewood Project to its fair market value, and thereafter of other remaining items of Profit and Loss. The preceding sentence shall apply only if the Ramblewood Project is distributed to AIMCO Sub no earlier than the Fiscal Year in which the Company sells the last of the Remaining Projects and makes a final liquidating distribution to the Members of the sales proceeds, together with any remaining assets, in complete liquidation of the Company.

(e) Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the related Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, solely for tax purposes, will be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis to the Company of the property for federal income tax purposes and the initial Gross Asset Value of the property (computed in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof). If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted under Section 9.2(b) hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to that asset will take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the related Regulations. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 9.3(e) hereof will be made in any manner that the Members mutually agree reasonably reflect the purpose and intention of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall be required to use the traditional method with curatives under Regulations Section 1.704-3(c) in accounting for the book-tax disparity with respect to all properties contributed by the AIMCO Members to the Company other than the Ramblewood Project, and (ii) shall use the traditional method under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) for accounting for the book-tax disparity with respect to the Ramblewood Project. Allocations under this Section 9.3(e) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or other items or distributions under any provision of this Agreement.

(f) Members shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.3 in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

Section 9.4 Tax Returns. The Manager will cause the Auditor, at the Company's expense, to prepare all federal, state and local tax returns for each year for which the returns are required to be filed for the Company and all Subsidiaries, including making the allocations required under ARTICLE 9 hereof. The Manager will use its reasonable efforts to cause returns for a Fiscal Year to be furnished to each Member for its review and approval within fifty (50) days following the end of that Fiscal Year and to cause the approved returns to be finalized and filed within sixty (60) days following the end of that Fiscal Year. In any event, if returns for a Fiscal Year are not furnished to each Member for its review and approval within sixty (60) days following the end of that Fiscal Year, then the Manager will cause a good faith estimate of all relevant tax information to be delivered to each Member within such sixty (60) day period. The Manager will file or cause to be filed with the appropriate taxing authorities requests for extensions of time for filing of tax returns to the extent required to be in compliance with any statute or regulation governing the timely filing of returns. The Manager will also cause the Auditor to provide to each Member, at the time the quarterly financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d) hereof, an estimate of each Member's share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company for federal income tax purposes for the calendar quarter just completed and for the Fiscal Year to date.

Section 9.5 Tax Elections. The following elections shall be made on the appropriate returns of the Company:

(a) to adopt the calendar year as the Company's Fiscal Year;

(b) to adopt the accrual method of accounting and to keep the Company's books and records on the income-tax method;

(c) if there is a distribution of Company property as described in Section 734 of the Code or if there is a transfer of a Company interest as described in Section 743 of the Code, upon written request of any Member, to elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of Company properties;

(d) to amortize the organizational expenses of the Company ratably over a period of sixty (60) months as permitted by Section 709(b) of the Code; and

(e) pursuant to Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the Code, to have Section 6231(a)(1)(B)(i) of the Code not apply (thereby allowing Sections 6221 through 6234 of the Code to apply to the Company).

Section 9.6 Tax Matters Member. The Member serving as Manager shall be the "tax matters partner" of the Company pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code; provided, however, if Investor has removed the AIMCO Managing Member as the initial Manager and appointed a non-Member Manager, then Investor shall be the "tax matters partner" of the Company pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. As tax matters partner, such Member shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Member to become a "notice partner" within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code.

Section 9.7 Allocations on Transfer of Interests. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit allocable to any interest in the Company that may have been transferred shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee based upon that portion of the Fiscal Year during which each was recognized as owning such interest, without regard to the results of Company operations during any particular portion of such Fiscal Year and without regard to whether cash distributions were made to the transferee or the transferee during such Fiscal Year; however, such allocation shall be made in accordance with a method permissible under Section 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.

Section 9.8 Maintenance of Indebtedness.

(a) Maintenance of Indebtedness. The Company acquired its interest in the Ramblewood Project subject to indebtedness (the "Existing Ramblewood Debt") with a principal balance equal to the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Ramblewood mortgage loan as of the date of the contribution of the Ramblewood Project to the Company. The Company shall cause to remain outstanding, without prepayment or other reduction, the Existing Ramblewood Debt (or any Replacement Debt (as defined below)) with a principal balance in an amount not less than $34,399,573.00, being the amount of the outstanding principal balance as of the date of contribution of the Ramblewood Project to the Company (as such Existing Ramblewood Debt may have been refinanced pursuant to the terms hereof). The Company shall report the Existing Ramblewood Debt as (A) non-recourse debt for purposes of Section 704 and 752 of the Code, and (B) either as (i) qualified non-recourse financing for purposes of Section 465 of the Code or (ii) indebtedness that is not subject

to the at-risk rules under Section 465 of the Code due to grandfathered treatment, except to the extent that a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code) holds otherwise.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing of this Section 9.8(a), this Section 9.8(b) shall not apply to the extent of:

(1) scheduled principal payments (but not prepayments) made in accordance with the requirements of the Existing Ramblewood Debt or any Replacement Debt (as defined below) satisfying the requirements of Section 9.8(c) hereof;

(2) payments of principal made in connection with the refinancing of the Existing Ramblewood Debt or any Replacement Debt satisfying the requirements of Section 9.8(c) hereof; provided, however, that after giving effect to the refinancing, the Company would be in compliance with the terms of Section 9.8(c) hereof (after taking into account principal payments made pursuant to Section 9.8(b)(1) hereof); and

(3) any payment of principal made (or deemed to be made) in connection with the condemnation or casualty of all or any portion of the Ramblewood Project; provided, however, that in the event of a condemnation or casualty, the Company shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to acquire replacement property or take such other action such that, under the tax law existing at such time, recognition of gain by the AIMCO Sub is reduced or avoided.

(c) Refinancing of Indebtedness. The Company may refinance the Existing Ramblewood Debt or any Replacement Debt with new debt (the "Replacement Debt") which (1) is secured by the Ramblewood Project, (2) (after considering amortization from the date of the contribution of the Ramblewood Project to the Company on the loan to be refinanced) would not provide for amortization at a rate in excess of the amortization that would result from a twenty (20) year fully amortizing conventional mortgage loan, (3) is non-recourse debt for purposes of Section 704 and 752 of the Code and qualified non-recourse financing for purposes of Section 465 of the Code and (4) is approved by the Members.

Section 9.9 REIT Compliance Restrictions.

(a) So long as the AIMCO REIT owns, directly or indirectly, any membership interest in the Company, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 9.9(b)) hereof, and unless the AIMCO Members consent otherwise:

(1) any services that would in the reasonable judgment of the AIMCO Members (as notified in writing by the AIMCO Members to the Manager) otherwise cause any rents from a Project to be "impermissible tenant service income" and thus excluded from treatment as rents from real property pursuant to Section 856(d)(2)(C) of the Code shall, subject to the limitation in Section 4.12(d)(3) hereof, be provided by either (1) an independent contractor (as described in Section 856(d)(3) of the Code) from whom none of the Company, the AIMCO Members or the AIMCO REIT derive or receive any income or (2) a taxable REIT subsidiary of the AIMCO REIT as described in Section 856(l) of the Code;

(2) except for a taxable REIT subsidiary of the AIMCO REIT, the Company shall not acquire after the date hereof directly or indirectly or by attribution (in accordance with attribution rules referred to in Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) of the total value of all classes of stock or more than ten percent (10%) of the total voting power (or, with respect to any such Person which is not a corporation, an interest of ten percent (10%) or more in the assets or net profits of such Person) of a lessee or sublessee of all or any part of a Project or of any other asset of the Company except in each case with the specific written approval of the AIMCO Members, which shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(3) except for securities of a taxable REIT subsidiary of the AIMCO REIT, the Company shall not own or acquire, directly or indirectly or by attribution, securities representing more than 10% of the total value or the total voting power of the outstanding securities of any issuer or own any other asset (including a security) which would cause the AIMCO REIT to fail the asset test of Section 856(c)(4)(B) of the Code;

(4) the Company shall not engage in any prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code; and

(5) all leases at each Project shall provide for rents that qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code with respect to the AIMCO REIT;

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.9(a) hereof, during the period that the Property Manager under a Property Management Agreement is the AIMCO Managing Member, AIMCO OP or a Controlled Affiliate of AIMCO OP:

(1) the Property Manager, at the discretion of the AIMCO Members, need not be an independent contractor (as described in Section 856(d)(3) of the Code) with respect to the AIMCO REIT; and

(2) at the discretion of the AIMCO Members, rents from a Project attributable to the lease of space to the Property Manager or a Controlled Affiliate of AIMCO OP need not be rents from real property within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code.

(c) If at any time, or from time to time, the Company receives from the AIMCO Members written advice of nationally recognized tax counsel indicating that (i) there have been material changes in the provisions or interpretations of Section 856 through and including Section 860 of the Code and (ii) as a result thereof and in order to protect AIMCO REIT's status as a real estate investment trust, corresponding changes need to be made to this Section of the Agreement, then the Company shall, with the prior review and consent of Investor, adopt such recommended changes to this Section of the Agreement (but only to the extent required to protect AIMCO REIT's status as a real estate investment trust and only to the extent such changes do not materially alter the economic arrangement among the Members as evidenced herein). In addition, at any time during which the Property Manager with respect to a Project is not the AIMCO Managing Member, AIMCO OP or a Controlled Affiliate of AIMCO OP, the Manager, at the request of the AIMCO Members and no more frequently than quarterly, shall forward to the Property Manager of such Project property questionnaires prepared by AIMCO REIT and reasonably acceptable to the Managing Member that are relevant to the determination of whether any income generated by such Project would violate the terms of paragraph (a) of this Section of the Agreement. The Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to insure that such questionnaires are completed and returned to the AIMCO Members within sixty (60) calendar days after such questionnaires are received by the Property Manager. All costs and expenses incurred by AIMCO Members in securing the written advice of counsel referred to above and by the Company in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of any changes to this Section shall be the sole responsibility of the AIMCO Members.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 9.9 shall prohibit the transfers of any property or interest therein, including, without limitation, Projects, Membership Interests, or Subsidiary Interests, in accordance with any of ARTICLE 3 hereof, ARTICLE 12 hereof, or ARTICLE 13 hereof.

As of the Effective Date, the names and addresses of the appointed agents for service of process for each Member are as follows: (i) with respect to the AIMCO Members, Corporation Service Company, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000; and with respect to Investor, Corporation Trust Company, Corporation Trust Center, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000.

Section 11.13 Arbitration.

(a) Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to the Company or any Subsidiary under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any alleged breach or threatened breach of the provisions contained in this Agreement, any determination as to whether a Removal Event has occurred and, if so, the amount of any losses, costs, expenses, liabilities or damages arising as a result thereof, will, upon demand of a party to the controversy, claim, or dispute, be resolved by arbitration held in New York, New York, and administered by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA and, to the maximum extent applicable, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1 et seq.; provided, however, the following matters shall not be subject to arbitration hereunder: (i) any Major Disputes, (ii) the approval or consent by a Member, or the failure by a Member to approve or consent, to a matter over which it has a consent or approval rights, or (iii) any determination of whether a Cause event has occurred under clauses (a) or (e) of its definition; provided further, however, that if the Purchase Price is subject to arbitration hereunder, then such determination shall be made pursuant to Section 11.13(b) hereof. An award rendered in any such proceeding shall be final, binding, and non-appealable, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. With respect to a controversy, claim or dispute in which the claim or amount in controversy does not exceed $100,000, a single arbitrator will be impaneled, who will have authority to render a maximum award of $100,000, including all damages of any kind and costs, fees, interest and the like. With respect to a controversy, claim or dispute in which the claim or amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, the dispute will be decided by a majority vote of three arbitrators. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the arbitrators may grant any remedy or relief they deem just and equitable, including any provisional and injunctive remedies available at law or in equity (in which case the party receiving such relief may apply to the court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such provisional or injunctive order, without prejudice to the continued arbitration of the matter); provided, however, that the AAA may, upon the demand of any party to the controversy, claim, or dispute, administratively appoint a single "provisional relief" arbitrator on an expedited basis to consider any request for, and grant, such provisional or injunctive remedy; and provided further, that the arbitrators shall award reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses to the prevailing party. The arbitrators will resolve all disputes in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. The arbitrators will be knowledgeable in the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators will make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law. The arbitrators' findings of fact will be binding on all parties and will not be subject to further review.

(b) In the case of an arbitration for determining the Purchase Price under ARTICLE 12 hereof or Section 13.1(b) hereof, Investor and the AIMCO Managing Member shall first negotiate in good faith to agree upon the Purchase Price for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days. If Investor and the AIMCO Managing Member are unable to agree upon a Purchase Price within such period, then such Purchase Price may be determined, at the request of either Investor or the AIMCO Managing Member, by three (3) independent appraisers, each of whom shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or the National Association of Realtors, one approved by Investor, one approved by the AIMCO Managing Member (such appraisers to be approved within ten (10) Business Days after request), and the third appraiser to be appointed by the other two appraisers within ten (10) Business Days after the appointment of the second appraiser. If one of the first two appraisers is not appointed timely, then the timely-appointed appraiser shall select the second appraiser, and if the first two appraisers cannot agree upon the third appraiser, then a senior official in the American Arbitration Association office in New York, New York (or such other office as agreed to by the Members) who has at least ten (10) years experience in commercial real estate shall select the third appraiser. The Project's Purchase Price shall be the average of the good faith valuation of the three appraisers, which each appraiser shall determine within ten (10) Business Days of the last appraiser's appointment; however if any appraiser's valuation deviates more than ten percent (10%) from the average of the other two appraisers' valuations, then an "Appraiser Deadlock" shall be deemed

to have occurred and Investor and the AIMCO Managing Member shall, for a period of ten (10) Business Days, negotiate in good faith to agree upon the Purchase Price, and if Investor and the AIMCO Managing Member cannot so agree upon a Purchase Price, then at the request of either Investor or the AIMCO Managing Member, the Purchase Price will be determined by three (3) new appraisers using the foregoing procedure. If three (3) new appraisers' valuations result in an Appraiser Deadlock, then such Appraiser Deadlock shall be deemed to be a Major Dispute.

Section 11.14 Facsimile as Writing. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any statutory or decisional law to the contrary, the printed product of a facsimile transmittal shall be deemed to be "written" and a "writing" for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 11.15 Counterpart Execution. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and the signature of any party to any counterpart of this Agreement may be appended to any other counterpart of this Agreement. To facilitate the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, this Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile (telecopier) and any original signatures that are initially delivered by facsimile shall be physically delivered with reasonable promptness thereafter.

(1) to purchase the applicable Project or Projects from the applicable Subsidiary for an amount equal to the Valuation Amount on the Buy-Sell Closing Date, or

(2) to cause the Subsidiary that owns such Project or Projects to sell to the Offeror the applicable Project or Projects for an amount equal to the Valuation Amount on the Buy-Sell Closing Date.

If the Offeree does not deliver an Electing Notice within said period, then the Offeree shall be deemed to have elected on the last day of such period to cause the Subsidiary to sell the applicable Project or Projects to the Offeror. Within three (3) Business Days after an election has been made under this Section 12.1 (whether deemed or otherwise) the acquiring Member shall deposit with Xxxxxxx Title Guaranty Company or its successor, as escrow agent, an xxxxxxx money deposit in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Valuation Amount, which deposit will be applied to the purchase price at closing. The acquiring Member may assign its right to acquire the applicable Project or Projects to another party designated by the acquiring Member only contemporaneously with the closing under this ARTICLE 12 and so long as the acquiring Member remains liable for such purchase. If (A) one or more Subsidiaries own all of the Projects subject to the Buy-Sell Option and no other Projects or interests in other Subsidiaries and (B) the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the ownership interests in such Subsidiaries, then, in lieu of purchasing such Projects, the acquiring Member may elect

to purchase from the Company all of the interests then owned by the Company in such Subsidiaries, and immediately prior to such purchase either all cash on hand of such Subsidiaries (other than reserves required by Mortgage Loan lenders) shall be distributed to the Company, or an amount equal to all such cash shall be added to the purchase price therefor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE 12, for purposes of this ARTICLE 12 the AIMCO Members shall be deemed to constitute a single Member, and the AIMCO Managing Member shall make all decisions on behalf of such Member

Section 12.2 Closing.

(a) The closing pursuant to this ARTICLE 12 shall occur through an escrow with the escrow agent, whereby the acquiring Member, the Company, the applicable Subsidiary and their attorneys need not be physically present at the Closing and may deliver documents by overnight air courier or other means, on a mutually acceptable date (the "Buy-Sell Closing Date") not later than one hundred fifty (150) days after the Initiating Notice. The acquiring Member shall, at its sole discretion at the closing, either (a) pay in full all Mortgage Loans relating to the Project(s) which are the subject of the Buy-Sell Option (the "Loan Payoff"), or (b) assume all of the Company's and/or the applicable Subsidiary's obligations under all Mortgage Loans relating to the Project(s) and take title to the Project(s) subject to such Mortgage Loans, and use reasonable efforts to obtain from the applicable Mortgage Loan lender(s) a release of the Company, the Manager, all AIMCO Members and their Affiliates, and the applicable Subsidiary from all obligations (and any related guarantees or letters of credit) under the Mortgage Loans from and after the Buy-Sell Closing Date (the "Loan Assumption"). At the closing, the acquiring Member shall pay to the Company, or the applicable Subsidiary, the Valuation Amount in cash and pay for any and all transfer or similar taxes, recording fees, title insurance premiums or fees, escrow fees and any other closing costs in connection with such transfer, subject to other customary prorations. If (w) Investor or its Affiliate is the acquiring Member at the closing, (x) Investor arranges for a property manager suitable to the Mortgage Loan lender to manage the Project(s) from and after the Closing, (y) a Mortgage Loan lender does not waive any and all fees due in connection with the assumption of such Mortgage Loan(s) (collectively, the "Mortgage Loan Assumption Fees"), and (z) Investor elects the Loan Assumption, then the AIMCO Members shall pay all Mortgage Loan Assumption Fees. In all other Loan Assumption cases, the acquiring Member shall pay all Mortgage Loan Assumption Fees. If Investor elects the Loan Payoff because a Mortgage Loan lender does not consent to the Loan Assumption by Investor or its Affiliate (to the extent such consent is required therefor under the Mortgage Loan) or due to the Mortgage Loan lender requiring any material modification to the Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, modifications of any of the economic terms of the Mortgage Loan) as a condition to any required consent by the Mortgage Loan lender, then the AIMCO Members shall pay any and all prepayment penalties, premiums, yield maintenance fees or similar amounts due in connection with the prepayment of the Mortgage Loan by Investor or its Affiliate (the "Mortgage Loan Payoff Fees"). If Investor is the acquiring Member and Investor elects the Loan Payoff even though the Mortgage Loan lender consents to the Loan Assumption without material modification, then the acquiring Member shall pay all Mortgage Loan Payoff Fees. At the closing, the Project or Projects shall be sold (or the Subsidiary Interests assigned, if applicable) to the acquiring Member or its designee, and the Company and the applicable Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the acquiring Member or its designee all documents which may be reasonably required to give effect to the transfer of such Project, Projects or interests, as the case may be, in each case free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, other than the then-existing Mortgage Loans and the Permitted Liens for such Project, with covenants of limited warranty. The acquiring Member acknowledges and agrees that upon closing the Company and the applicable Subsidiaries shall sell and convey to the acquiring Member and the acquiring Member shall accept such Project "AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS", except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.

(b) If, prior to the Closing, any Material Damage occurs to any portion of the Project as a result of earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, landslide, fire, acts of war, terrorism, terrorist activities or other casualty, the acquiring Member shall have the right to rescind the Buy/Sell Option upon written notice to the Company given not later than the earlier of (x) the closing date or (y) thirty (30) days after the acquiring Member's receipt of actual notice of such event. Upon such rescission, the escrow agent shall return the xxxxxxx money deposit to the acquiring Member. If the acquiring Member does not elect or has no right to rescind the Buy/Sell Option, the Company (and the Subsidiary, as applicable) shall assign and turn over, and the acquiring Member shall be entitled to receive and keep, all insurance proceeds payable with respect to such damage or destruction (which shall then be repaired or not at the acquiring Member's option and cost) and the acquiring Member shall receive, as a credit against the purchase price, an amount equal to the deductible amount with respect to the insurance and the parties shall proceed to the Closing pursuant to the terms hereof. If the acquiring Member does not elect or has no right to rescind the Buy/Sell Option by reason of any casualty, the acquiring Member shall have the right to control any adjustment of any insurance claim.

(c) If, prior to the Closing, all of the Project or any Material Portion is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not been consummated as evidenced by written notice from the applicable Governmental Authority), the acquiring Member shall have the option to rescind the Buy/Sell Option upon written notice to the Company given not later than the earlier of (x) the closing date or (y) thirty (30) days after the acquiring Member's receipt of actual notice of such event. Upon such rescission, the escrow agent shall return the xxxxxxx money deposit to the acquiring Member. If the acquiring Member does not elect or has no right to rescind the Buy/Sell Option, the Company (and the Subsidiary, as applicable) shall assign and turn over to the acquiring Member, and the acquiring Member shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards for the taking by condemnation and the acquiring Member shall be deemed to have accepted the Project subject to the taking without reduction in the purchase price.

Section 12.3 Default.

(a) If the acquiring Member (for such purposes the "Defaulted Acquirer") should default in its obligation to buy in accordance with this ARTICLE 12, the Member that is not Affiliated with the acquiring Member, be it the AIMCO Managing Member, on the one hand, or Investor, on the other hand, (for such purposes, the "Replacement Acquirer") may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such default, one of the following alternative remedies within thirty (30) days after the Defaulted Acquirer's default:

(1) The Replacement Acquirer shall elect to purchase the applicable Project or Projects (or interests in the applicable Subsidiary or Subsidiaries) on the terms set forth above in Section 12.1 and Section 12.2 hereof, such closing to occur not later than two hundred seventy (270) days after the Initiating Notice on a date selected by the Replacement Acquirer upon not less than five (5) Business Days notice to the Defaulted Acquirer, except that the purchase price shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the Valuation Amount for the applicable Project or Projects under Section 12.1 hereof; or

(2) The Replacement Acquirer shall elect to receive the xxxxxxx money deposit as full liquidated damages for such default of the Defaulted Acquirer, the Members hereby acknowledging and agreeing that it is impossible to more precisely estimate the damages to be suffered by the Replacement Acquirer upon the Defaulted Acquirer's default and the Members acknowledge and agree that the xxxxxxx money deposit which may be received by the Replacement Acquirer is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages for such default of the Defaulted Acquirer. Such xxxxxxx money deposit (i) shall not constitute a Capital Contribution by the Defaulted Acquirer and shall not be credited to the Defaulted Acquirer's Capital Account or other Accounts and (ii) shall not constitute a distribution to the Replacement Subsidiaries and

shall not be debited against the Replacement Acquirer's Capital Account or other Accounts, and (iii) if Investor is the Replacement Acquirer, shall not be considered for purposes of determining the Replacement Acquirer's Internal Rate of Return hereunder. In the event the Defaulted Acquirer failed to make its xxxxxxx money deposit as required in Section 12.1 hereof and the Replacement Acquirer has elected its remedy under this Section 12.3(a)(2), then the Replacement Acquirer shall have the right to recover an award or judgment against the Defaulted Acquirer in the amount of such required xxxxxxx money deposit, together with its reasonable attorneys' fee and costs incurred in obtaining such award or judgment.

If the non-acquiring Member fails to deliver written notice of its elected remedy under this Section 12.3(a) to the Defaulted Acquirer by the date that is the earlier of (x) ten (10) days after the closing date or (y) thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the Defaulted Acquirer's default, the non-acquiring Member shall be deemed to have elected the remedy under Section 12.3(a)(2) hereof

(b) If the non-acquiring Member is the Manager, or is affiliated with the Manager, if the non-acquiring Member should default in its obligation to cause the Company and the applicable Subsidiaries to sell in accordance with this ARTICLE 12, the acquiring Member may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such default, one of the following alternative remedies within thirty (30) days after the non-acquiring Member's default:

(1) The acquiring Member shall be entitled to demand and receive a return of its xxxxxxx money deposit previously deposited with an escrow agent, in which event after return of such deposit, the non-acquiring Member's default hereunder shall be deemed waived; or

(2) The acquiring Member shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the non-acquiring Member's obligations under this ARTICLE 12, the Members' expressly agreeing that the remedy at law for breach of the obligations of the non-acquiring Member set forth in this ARTICLE 12 is inadequate in view of (A) the complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damage to be sustained by the acquiring Member on account of the default of the selling Member; and (B) the uniqueness of the Company business and the Members' relationships. The acquiring Member shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company of the acquiring Member's reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

If the acquiring Member fails to deliver written notice of its elected remedy under this Section 12.3(b) to the non-acquiring Member by the date that is the earlier of (x) the closing date or (y) thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such default, the acquiring Member shall be deemed to have elected the remedy under Section 12.3(b)(1) hereof.

Section 12.4 Reserves and Thresholds. All funds held in a Tax and Insurance Reserve under Section 4.3(e) hereof for Projects Transferred under this ARTICLE 12 shall be prorated in accordance with local custom. In addition, the provisions of Section 4.3(d)(4) hereof shall apply in the event of Transfer under this ARTICLE 12.

Section 12.5 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 12.6 Release of Capital Contribution Obligations. At the time of closing pursuant to this ARTICLE 12, each Member will be released from any further obligation to make Capital Contributions to the Company in connection with the Project or Projects subject to the Buy-Sell Option.

Section 12.7 Offset. The acquiring Member will be entitled to deduct from the amounts otherwise payable to the Company any and all amounts owed to the acquiring Member by the Company or the other Member, including damages owed by the non-acquiring Member by reason of any default, to the extent agreed by the parties or to the extent such damages have been reduced to an arbitration award or a final nonappealable judgment, as applicable. Any such deduction shall not constitute a distribution to the acquiring Member, shall not be debited against the acquiring Member's

Capital Account or other Accounts, and, if Investor is the acquiring Member, shall not be considered as a distribution for purposes of determining the acquiring Member's Internal Rate of Return hereunder.

Section 12.8 Minimum Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event will the purchase price paid for a Membership Interest pursuant to this ARTICLE 12 be less than Ten Dollars ($10.00).

Section 12.9 Operations in Pre-Closing Period. From the date of the Initiating Notice until the date the closing occurs under this ARTICLE 12 or, if earlier, the date on which the Members agree not to proceed with such closing, the Company and the applicable Subsidiaries and Projects will continue to be operated in the ordinary course, as if the closing were not going to occur, the Members and the Manager will continue to have all power and authority granted in this Agreement (including the power to make distributions), and the Members and the Manager will exercise their power and authority in good faith and without regard to the fact that such closing may occur; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall enter into any contracts or agreements, or otherwise agree, to sell or otherwise dispose of such Project or Projects; except that (1) the Company and each Subsidiary shall be authorized to consummate any transactions which were the subject of binding contractual obligations entered into prior to the commencement of such period, and (2) in the case of an exercise of the Buy-Sell Option with respect to all of the Projects or all of the Subsidiary Interests owned by the Company, in the event that during such period the non-acquiring Member fails to make a Project Capital Contribution for the acquisition of another Project that has been approved in advance by the Members, then the acquiring Member may, in addition to and without waiver of any and all other rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, advance such Project Capital Contributions to the Company.

Section 12.10 Suspension of Rights Under ARTICLE 13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time a Member has exercised the Buy-Sell Option in accordance with this ARTICLE 12 with respect to a Project or Projects, then the Members' respective rights under ARTICLE 13 hereof with regard to such Project or Projects shall be suspended and shall not be exercised thereafter unless and until the initiation of the Buy-Sell Option is withdrawn or rescinded by the Offeror or unless and until the occurrence of a breach or default with respect to the Buy-Sell Option by the acquiring Member.

Section 12.11 Changes in Distribution Rights. In the event following the exercise by a Member of the Buy-Sell Option (and prior to the distribution in accordance with this ARTICLE 12), a Member's right to distributions of Available Cash, Capital Proceeds and Net Refinancing Proceeds are modified as provided in Section 4.8 hereof, then the amount due the Company on the Buy-Sell Closing Date shall be distributed by the Company in accordance with such modified distribution rights.

Section 12.12 Ramblewood Project—Liquidation Event. If the Buy-Sell Option exercised is a Liquidation Event (i.e., is with respect to all of the Projects or all of the Subsidiary Interests) and Investor is the acquiring Member, then the following shall apply:

(a) Final Calculation. The Manager shall promptly cause the RP Value to be determined through arbitration in accordance with Section 11.13(b) hereof. During the period that begins on the date that is five (5) Business Days before the scheduled Buy-Sell Closing Date and ending on the date that is two (2) Business Days before such date, the Manager shall calculate the Final Calculation and deliver to the Members the results in writing.

(b) Equal to or Greater Than RP Value. Should the Final Calculation result in a Final AIMCO Sub Distribution that is equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the RP Value, then at the closing under the Buy-Sell Option:

(1) Investor or its assignee shall pay to the Company the difference of (x) the Valuation Amount, less (y) the RP Value;

(2) the Company shall Transfer to the Investor or its assignee the Remaining Projects (or the corresponding Subsidiary Interests if elected by Investor or its assignee);

(3) the Capital Proceeds to be distributed to the Members shall be determined based upon the Valuation Amount with no deduction of the RP Value;

(4) the Company shall distribute to AIMCO Sub the Final AIMCO Sub Distribution in the form of (x) the Ramblewood Project, as a distribution of Capital Proceeds equal to the RP Value, and (y) cash in an amount equal to the difference of (a) the Final AIMCO Sub Distribution, less (b) the RP Value,

(5) the Company shall distribute to the other Members their respective Capital Proceeds distributions in cash, and

(6) the AIMCO Sub shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such distribution of the Ramblewood Project, be they of the Company, the Subsidiaries or otherwise.

(c) Less Than RP Value. Should the Final Calculation result in a Final AIMCO Sub Distribution that is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the RP Value, then no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the closing under the Buy-Sell Option the AIMCO Sub shall elect one of the following options:

(1) for all of the Projects (or the corresponding Subsidiary Interests if elected by Investor or its assignee) to be Transferred to Investor or its assignee, or

(2) for, contemporaneously with the closing under the Buy-Sell Option, the AIMCO Sub to contribute to the Company, as Project Capital Contributions, the RP True-Up Amount, and to proceed under Section 12.12(b) hereof,

with the failure so to elect deemed an election under clause (1) above. The AIMCO Sub may elect under clause (2) above only by contributing the RP True-Up Amount to the Company and delivering written notice of its election to the Members. If the AIMCO Sub so contributes the RP True-Up Amount, then the Capital Proceeds resulting from such Transfer shall be determined by adding to the Valuation Amount the RP True-Up Amount, and upon the closing under the Buy-Sell Option such Capital Proceeds shall be distributed accordingly pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof and Section 12.12(b) hereof.

(3) the failure to timely make any RSD Payment shall constitute a breach of this Agreement that has a Material Adverse Effect and that is not subject to cure and shall be deemed to be a Removal Event under Section 4.8(a)(6) hereof;

(4) the following Projects (and the interests in the Subsidiaries that own them) may be sold (i) pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(1) hereof or Section 13.1(b)(2) hereof only with the consent of the AIMCO Members, or (ii) otherwise before the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Effective Date only with the unanimous consent of the Members: Citrus Sunset Project, Ramblewood Project and Citrus Grove Project; provided that upon any Transfer of the Ramblewood Project to any AIMCO Member or an Affiliate thereof, the Purchase Price of such Project shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 11.13 hereof.

Section 13.2 Sale Process.

(a) Sale Notice. If a Member (for such purpose, the "Initiating Member") is required or entitled to initiate the marketing and sale of a Project or Projects then owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries under Section 13.1(b)(1) hereof, Section 13.1(b)(2) hereof or Section 13.1(b)(3) hereof and

the Initiating Member either (x) makes an offer, or (y) the Company or its Subsidiaries receive a bona fide offer that the Initiating Member desires to accept (any such offer in clauses (x) or (y) as herein called an "Offer"), then the Initiating Member shall deliver written notice of the terms of such Offer (the "Sale Notice") to the other Members (the "Non-Initiating Member"). The Sale Notice will include (1) the proposed gross purchase price (the "Proposed Purchase Price") for the applicable Projects to be marketed for sale pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(1) hereof or Section 13.1(b)(2) hereof, (2) the method of payment, (3) the anticipated closing date measured from the date of any to-be-executed contract, and (4) in the case of a group of Projects, whether such Projects would be sold in a single transaction or in a series of transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE 13 hereof, for purposes of this ARTICLE 13 the AIMCO Members shall be deemed to constitute a single Member, and the AIMCO Managing Member shall make all decisions on behalf of such Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing of this ARTICLE 13, if the Proposed Purchase Price of a Project is not of an amount at least equal to the amount required to satisfy and pay off all Mortgage Loan indebtedness secured by such Project being offered for sale, then a condition precedent to such sale is that the Members must have first contributed Additional Capital Contributions in order and in an amount sufficient so to satisfy and pay off any shortfall under such Mortgage Loan indebtedness.

(b) Purchase Price. Subject to Section 4.3(d)(4) hereof, the purchase price for such Project or Projects to be marketed for sale (the "Purchase Price") shall be calculated as follows:

(1) Proposed Purchase Price. Except as provided in Section 13.2(b)(2) hereof and Section 13.2(b)(3) hereof, for Projects to be marketed for sale pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(1) hereof or Section 13.1(b)(2) hereof, the Purchase Price shall be the Proposed Purchase Price;

(2) Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 13.2(b)(3) hereof, for Projects to be marketed for sale pursuant to (x) Section 13.1(b)(1) hereof or Section 13.1(b)(2) hereof and where (i) the purchaser is AIMCO REIT, AIMCO OP, or any of their respective Affiliates, and (ii) Investor objects to the amount of the Proposed Purchase Price within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Sale Notice, or (y) Section 13.1(b)(3) hereof, the Purchase Price shall be determined pursuant to arbitration under Section 11.13 hereof; and

(3) Minimum Purchase Price. In the case of a Liquidation Event, the Purchase Price shall be equal to the greatest of (x) the Proposed Purchase Price, (y) the Purchase Price as determined by arbitration under Section 11.13 hereof, if applicable, or (z) the Minimum Purchase Price. For purposes hereof, "Minimum Purchase Price" means the minimum amount that, when distributed as Capital Proceeds under ARTICLE 8 hereof, would result in Investor achieving an Internal Rate of Return for all Projects (including, without limitation, all previously sold Projects) equal to eight and one-quarter percent (8.25%). If the Purchase Price is determined to be the Minimum Purchase Price under this Section 13.2(b)(3), either Investor or the AIMCO Managing Member may exercise the Buy-Sell Option pursuant to Section 12.1(o) hereof.

Section 13.3 Response.

(a) Right of First Offer. The Non-Initiating Member is hereby granted a right of first offer with respect to any Project included in a Sale Notice, in accordance with this Section 13.3(a). The Non-Initiating Member shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the Sale Notice (the "Response Period") (or if the Purchase Price is determined pursuant to arbitration fifteen (15) Business Days from such determination) to exercise its right of first offer to acquire such Project or Projects. Such right of first offer may be exercised by the Non-Initiating Member delivering written notice to the Initiating Member of its commitment to purchase such Project or Projects for an amount equal to ninety-eight percent (98%) of the Purchase Price (with any transfer or similar tax allocated to the buyer or seller in accordance with the local custom and with the buyer paying all other closing costs).

(b) Failure to Respond. If the Non-Initiating Member fails to exercise the right of first offer within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, then the Initiating Member shall have a right of first offer to purchase such Project or Projects for an amount equal to ninety-eight percent (98%) of the Purchase Price exercisable by the Initiating Member delivering written notice to the Non-Initiating Member within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Sales Notice.

(c) Offer Exercised. If the right of first offer is exercised pursuant to Section 13.3(a) hereof or Section 13.3(b) hereof, then the Company shall cause the Project or Projects to be sold to the Member so exercising the right of first offer for cash at a price equal to ninety-eight percent (98%) of the price set forth in the Sale Notice within fifteen (15) Business Days after the right of first offer has been exercised. If such Member fails to close within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, then the Manager shall proceed under Section 13.3(d) hereof to market and sell the Project or Projects on behalf of the Company and its applicable Subsidiary as if such right of first offer had not been exercised.

(d) Offer Not Exercised. If the Initiating Member and the Non-Initiating Member waive the right of first offer or do not exercise under Section 13.3(a) hereof or Section 13.3(b) hereof, the Manager shall, or, shall cause, a broker selected and engaged by the Manager (at a market fee and on market terms) to, market for sale to third parties the applicable Projects or Projects on behalf of the Company for cash at a price not less than the Purchase Price. The Manager or such broker shall, at the Company's reasonable expense, control the marketing and sale process with the full cooperation of the other Members and the Manager, as applicable.

(e) Failure to Sell All of the Projects. If a bona fide third party (not Affiliated with the AIMCO Members) does not enter into a binding (i.e., no contingencies) contract to acquire all of the Projects by the first (1^st) anniversary of the date that the marketing for sale to third parties commenced for such Project or Projects for cash at a price of at least ninety-eight percent (98%) of the Purchase Price and substantially on the other terms and conditions set forth in the Offer, then the marketing for sale of such Projects shall terminate, and the Members shall be entitled, as their sole remedy, to exercise the Buy-Sell Option pursuant to Section 12.1(n) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the previous sentence shall not in any way effect the Manager's obligation to sell the requisite threshold of Projects under Section 13.1(b)(1) hereof or Section 13.1(b)(2) hereof.

(f) Sale By the Company. In the event of a sale under this ARTICLE 13, the sale will be treated as a sale by the Company (or its Subsidiaries), and the Capital Proceeds resulting therefrom shall be distributed accordingly. At the request of either Member and so long as the same can be accomplished at no additional cost, expense or delay to the Company and so long as the Company or a Subsidiary is not required to take title to any exchange property, the Members will give fair consideration to, but will be under no obligation to implement, any structure proposed by the requesting Member for disposing of any such Project or Projects in a manner that permits the requesting Member to report its share of the sales proceeds as a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Code.

Section 13.4 No Suspension of Rights Under ARTICLE 12. A Member's exercise of its rights under this ARTICLE 13 shall not affect or prevent a Member's exercise of its rights under ARTICLE 12 hereof but any Project that is the subject of a Buy-Sell Option shall be subject to prior sale under Section 13.3(a) hereof or Section 13.3(b) hereof, and any binding (i.e., no contingencies) contract for sale of a Project or Projects with a bona fide third party in accordance with this ARTICLE 13.

Section 13.5 Changes in Distribution Rights. In the event following the exercise by a Member under this ARTICLE 13 (and prior to the distribution in accordance with this Article), a Member's right to distributions are modified as provided in Section 4.8 hereof, then the amount due the Members on the closing date shall be determined in accordance with such modified distribution rights.

Section 13.6 Sale of Subsidiaries. The Members intend that most, if not all, of the Projects will be owned by the Company through individual Subsidiaries and, as a result, it may be advantageous to

structure the sale of one or more Projects pursuant to this ARTICLE 13 as a sale of the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries owning such Project or Projects. Accordingly, the provisions of this ARTICLE 13 shall apply equally to the sale of a Subsidiary or Subsidiaries, and where in this ARTICLE 13 reference is made to the sale of a Project or Projects, such terms shall be interpreted to include a reference to the sale of the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries owning such Project or Projects.

Section 13.7 Ramblewood Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing of this ARTICLE 13, if after the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Effective Date the Ramblewood Project is owned by the Company or one or more Subsidiaries, then the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Ramblewood Project—Hypothetical Calculation.

(1) Hypothetical Calculation. After the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, if any of the Members, as the Initiating Member under Section 13.2 hereof, elects to cause a Liquidation Event through the sale of all (and not part) of the Projects (or the interests in the Subsidiaries that own the Projects), then the Manager shall cause the RP Value to be determined and, within two (2) Business Days after such determination, calculate the Hypothetical Calculation and deliver to the Members the results in writing.

(2) Equal to or Greater Than 120% Threshold. Should the Hypothetical Calculation result in a Hypothetical AIMCO Sub Distribution that is greater than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the RP Value, then the Manager may market the Remaining Projects for sale as a single portfolio, exclusive of the Ramblewood Project, at the Hypothetical Remaining Projects Purchase Price.

(3) Less Than 120% Threshold. Should the Hypothetical Calculation result in a Hypothetical AIMCO Sub Distribution that is less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the RP Value, then, subject to Section 13.7(c) hereof, all of the Projects (including the Ramblewood Project) shall be marketed for sale together as a single portfolio, and the Ramblewood Project shall not be distributed to any of the Members under this ARTICLE 13.

(b) Ramblewood Project—Sale/Liquidation Event. If the Hypothetical Calculation results in a Hypothetical AIMCO Sub Distribution that is equal to or greater than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the RP Value (or if the 120% Ramblewood Threshold Deposit is made pursuant to Section 13.7(c) hereof) and the Remaining Projects are to be sold separate from the Ramblewood Project, then the following shall apply:

(1) Final Calculation. During the period that begins on the date that is five (5) Business Days before the scheduled sale date of the Remaining Projects and ending on the date that is two (2) Business Days before such sale date, the Manager shall calculate the Final Calculation and deliver to the Members the results in writing.

(2) Equal to or Greater Than RP Value. Should the Final Calculation result in a Final AIMCO Sub Distribution that is equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the RP Value, then upon such sale of the Remaining Projects

(x) the Company shall distribute to the AIMCO Sub the Final AIMCO Sub Distribution in the form of (1) the Ramblewood Project, as an in-kind distribution of Capital Proceeds equal to the RP Value, and (2) cash as a distribution of Capital Proceeds in an amount equal to the difference of (a) the Final AIMCO Sub Distribution, less (b) the RP Value,

(y) the Company shall distribute to the other Members their respective Capital Proceeds distributions in cash, and

(z) the AIMCO Sub shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such distribution of the Ramblewood Project, be they of the Company, the Subsidiaries or otherwise, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses under the Mortgage Loans encumbering the Ramblewood Project, that are in excess of the costs and expenses that would have been paid by the Company or the Subsidiaries if the Ramblewood Project was sold along with the Remaining Projects.

(3) Less Than RP Value. Should the Final Calculation result in a Final AIMCO Sub Distribution that is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the RP Value, then, contemporaneously with the closing of the sale of the Remaining Projects, the AIMCO Sub shall contribute to the Company, as Project Capital Contributions, the RP True-Up Amount. The Company and the Subsidiaries shall not Transfer the Remaining Projects until the AIMCO Sub has so contributed the RP True-Up Amount. Any failure so to contribute the RP True-Up Amount shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the AIMCO Members that has a Material Adverse Effect and is not subject to cure, and the AIMCO Members shall be liable to the Company, the Subsidiaries and Investor for any losses, expenses and damages arising therefrom. If the AIMCO Sub so contributes the RP True-Up Amount, then the Capital Proceeds resulting from such Transfer shall be determined by adding to the Total Portfolio Purchase Price the RP True-Up Amount, and upon the sale the corresponding Capital Proceeds shall be distributed accordingly pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof and Section 13.7(b)(2) hereof.

(1) Should the Hypothetical Calculation result in a Hypothetical AIMCO Sub Distribution that is less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the RP Value, then the Manager may market the Remaining Projects for sale as a single portfolio, exclusive of the Ramblewood Project, if and only if the 120% Ramblewood Threshold Deposit is first made by AIMCO Sub. Such 120% Ramblewood Threshold Deposit shall be made by AIMCO Sub, if at all, within ten (10) Business Days after the calculation of the Hypothetical Calculation. If such 120% Ramblewood Threshold Deposit is so made, then the same will be held as security for the payment of the RP True-Up Amount. All interest earned on the 120% Ramblewood Threshold Deposit shall accrue to the benefit of AIMCO Sub.

(2) If the 120% Ramblewood Threshold Deposit has been so made and an RP True-Up Amount is required to be contributed under Section 13.7(b)(3) hereof, then the AIMCO Sub may elect for the 120% Ramblewood Threshold Deposit or any portion thereof to be applied toward such Project Capital Contribution required thereunder. Should any amount of the 120% Ramblewood Threshold Deposit remain on deposit after the Transfers and any such application, if applicable, then such amount shall be returned to AIMCO Sub.

Executed effective as of the date above written.
