The second mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $1,627,000 due at maturity. The Registrant may prepay the second mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition to making the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Registrant, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Registrant relating to a limited number of prohibited actions that would give rise to an exception to the non-recourse nature of the loan.

The modifications include a fixed interest rate of 8.15% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $41,000 beginning on February 1, 2009, through the June 1, 2020, maturity date. The existing mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $4,745,000 due at maturity. The previous terms of the existing mortgage loan consisted of a fixed interest rate of 8.15% per annum and monthly payments of approximately $62,000 through the maturity date of June 1, 2020, at which date the mortgage was scheduled to be fully amortized. The Registrant may prepay the first mortgage loanby delivering 30 days written notice to the lendersubject to a prepayment penalty.
In accordance with the terms of both loan agreements, payment of the loans may be accelerated at the option of the lender if an event of default, as defined in the applicable loan agreements, occurs.
