Item 2.01   Completion of a Disposition of Assets

On October 29,  2004,  the  Registrant  sold one of its  investment  properties,
Colony House Apartments, located in Murpheesboro, Tennessee. The Registrant sold
Colony House Apartments to Colony House General Partnership,  a third party, for

market value of the investment property.

In accordance with the Amended Limited Partnership  Agreement of the Registrant,
the  Registrant's  general  partner is evaluating the cash  requirements  of the
Registrant  to  determine  whether  any  portion  of the  net  proceeds  will be
distributed to the Registrant's partners.

bank accounts,  money market funds or accounts,  bank certificates of deposit or

identification  numbers of the parties  shall be  furnished to Escrow Agent upon

2.3.3 If the Deposit has not been released  earlier in  accordance  with Section
2.3.2,  and  Purchaser or Seller's  Representative  makes a written  demand upon
Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit,  Escrow Agent shall give written notice
to the other parties of such demand.  If Escrow Agent does not receive a written
objection  from another  party to the proposed  payment  within 5 Business  Days
after the giving of such notice,  Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such
payment  (subject to  Purchaser's  obligation  under Section 3.5.2 to return all
Third-Party  Reports and  information  and Materials  provided to Purchaser as a
pre-condition to the return of the Deposit to Purchaser if Purchaser is entitled
to the return of the Deposit under this Contract).  If Escrow Agent does receive
such written  objection  within such  5-Business Day period,  Escrow Agent shall
continue to hold such amount until  otherwise  directed by written  instructions
from the parties to this Contract or a final judgment or arbitrator's  decision.
However,  Escrow  Agent  shall have the right at any time to deposit the Deposit
and interest  thereon,  if any,  with a court of competent  jurisdiction  in the

responsibilities  hereunder.  Sellers hereby appoint Seller's  Representative to
give and receive notices to Escrow Agent regarding the Deposit.

not be deemed to be the agent of any of the  parties  for any act or omission on

Contract  or  involving  gross  negligence.  Sellers and  Purchaser  jointly and
severally  shall  indemnify and hold Escrow Agent  harmless from and against all
costs, claims and expenses,  including  reasonable  attorney's fees, incurred in

in willful  disregard of this Contract or involving gross negligence on the part
of the Escrow Agent.

Contract,  which shall constitute the sole instructions to Escrow Agent.  Escrow
Agent shall execute the  signature  page for Escrow Agent  attached  hereto with
respect to the  provisions  of this Section  2.3;  provided,  however,  that (a)
Escrow  Agent's  signature  hereon  shall not be a  prerequisite  to the binding
nature of this  Contract on  Purchaser  and  Sellers,  and the same shall become
fully  effective upon execution by Purchaser and Sellers,  and (b) the signature
of Escrow Agent will not be necessary  to amend any  provision of this  Contract
other than this Section 2.3.

respective  attorneys and brokers harmless from and against any Losses resulting

available by any of the Sellers to Purchaser in accordance with this Contract or
obtained  by  Purchaser  in the  course of its  Inspections  shall be treated as
confidential  information  by  Purchaser,  and,  prior  to the  purchase  of the
Properties  by  Purchaser,  Purchaser  shall use its best efforts to prevent its
Consultants  from  divulging  such  information  to any unrelated  third parties
except as  reasonably  necessary to third  parties  engaged by Purchaser for the
limited purpose of analyzing and investigating  such information for the purpose
of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Contract. The provisions of

Representative shall have the right,  without limitation,  to disapprove any and
all  entries,  surveys,  tests  (including,   without  limitation,  a  Phase  II
environmental  study of its Property),  investigations and other matters that in
such Seller's Representative's reasonable judgment could result in any injury to
its Property or breach of any contract,  or expose the applicable  Seller to any
Losses or  violation  of  applicable  law, or  otherwise  adversely  affect such
Property or such Seller's interest therein.  Purchaser shall use best efforts to
minimize   disruption  to  Tenants  in  connection   with   Purchaser's  or  its

Purchaser on a secure web site  (Purchaser  agrees that any item to be delivered

agrees that the Materials and other documents and information  delivered or made
available by Sellers pursuant to this Contract may not be complete or constitute
all of such  documents  which are in a Seller's  possession or control,  but are
those that are readily  available  to such Seller  after  reasonable  inquiry to
ascertain their availability.  Purchaser  understands that, although each Seller
will use  commercially  reasonable  efforts  to locate  and make  available  the
Materials and other  documents  required to be delivered or made available by it
pursuant to this  Contract,  Purchaser  will not rely on such Materials or other
documents as being a complete and accurate source of information with respect to
such Seller's  Property,  and will instead in all instances rely  exclusively on
its own Inspections  and Consultants  with respect to all matters which it deems
relevant to its decision to acquire, own and operate the Properties.

3.5.3 The  provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery
of the Deed to Purchaser.

3.6 Property  Contracts.  On or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period,
Purchaser  may  deliver  written  notice to each Seller (a  "Property  Contracts
Notice")  specifying  any  Property  Contracts  of such Seller  which  Purchaser
desires to terminate at the Closing (the "Terminated Contracts");  provided that
(a) the effective date of such termination after Closing shall be subject to the
express  terms  of such  Terminated  Contracts  (and,  to the  extent  that  the
effective date of  termination  of any Terminated  Contract is after the Closing
Date,  Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed all of the applicable  Seller's
obligations  under such Terminated  Contract as of the Closing Date), (b) if any
such Property Contract cannot by its terms be terminated, it shall be assumed by
Purchaser and not be a Terminated Contract,  and (c) to the extent that any such
Terminated  Contract  requires payment of a penalty or premium for cancellation,
Purchaser shall be solely  responsible for the payment of any such  cancellation
fees or penalties.  If Purchaser fails to deliver a Property Contracts Notice to
a Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility  Period,  there shall be
no  Terminated  Contracts  with  respect to such  Seller (or its  Property)  and
Purchaser shall assume all Property Contracts of such Seller at the Closing.  To
the extent that any Property Contract to be assumed by Purchaser  (including any
Property  Contracts  that,  because  of  advance  notice  requirements,  will be
temporarily assumed by Purchaser pending the effective date of termination after
the Closing Date) is assignable but requires the applicable vendor to consent to
the assignment or assumption of the Property  Contract by the applicable  Seller
to Purchaser,  then,  prior to the Closing,  Purchaser  shall be responsible for
obtaining  from each  applicable  vendor a consent (each a "Required  Assignment
Consent")  to the  assignment  of the Property  Contract to  Purchaser  (and the
assumption  by  Purchaser  of all  obligations  under such  Property  Contract).
Purchaser  shall  indemnify,  hold harmless and, if requested by the  applicable
Seller (in such Seller's sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by such
Seller) such  Seller's  Indemnified  Parties from and against any and all Losses
arising from or related to Purchaser's failure to obtain any Required Assignment
Consent.

                         TITLE, Survey and environmental

4.1 Title  Documents.  Prior to the  Effective  Date,  each Seller  caused to be
delivered to Purchaser a copy of the prior Title  Documents  for each  Property.
Purchaser  acknowledges and agrees that delivery of the Prior Title Documents is
subject to Section  3.5.2.  Purchaser  acknowledges  receipt of the Prior  Title
Documents  and agrees that it has  approved  all of the Prior  Title  Documents.
Within 7 calendar days after the Effective  Date,  each Seller shall cause to be
delivered to Purchaser an updated title commitment  ("Updated Title Commitment")
for each Property in an amount equal to the Property's  Base Purchase Price from
Title Insurer for an owner's title insurance  policy (the "Title Policy") on the
most recent standard American Land Title Association form,  together with copies
of all instruments  identified as exceptions therein that were not identified as
exceptions  in the Prior  Title  Commitment  (together  with the  Updated  Title
Commitment,  referred to herein as the  "Updated  Title  Documents").  The Prior
Title  Documents and the Updated Title  Documents are  hereinafter  collectively
referred to herein as the "Title  Documents".  Each Seller shall be  responsible
for  payment of the  premium for the Title  Policy for its  Property,  including
"extended"  coverage.  Purchaser shall be solely  responsible for payment of any
endorsements  requested by  Purchaser.  Any new material  matters in the Updated
Title  Documents  that were not  disclosed  in the  Prior  Title  Documents  are
hereinafter referred to as the "New Title Matters".

4.2 Survey.  Prior to the Effective  Date, each Seller caused to be delivered to
Purchaser a copy of the Prior Survey for each Property.  Purchaser  acknowledges
receipt of the Prior Surveys and agrees that it has approved the Prior  Surveys.
Purchaser  acknowledges and agrees that delivery of the Prior Surveys is subject
to Section  3.5.2.  Purchaser  desires that all of the Prior Surveys be updated.
Within 5 days after the Effective Date, Seller's Representative shall order such
updated  surveys (the  "Updated  Survey",  and together  with the Prior  Survey,
referred to herein as the  "Survey")  from the  surveyor  who prepared the Prior
Survey (or from such  other  surveyor  as Seller  determines  in its  reasonable
discretion) and each Seller shall pay the cost and expense of the preparation of
such updated surveys for its Property.  Any new material  matters in the Updated
Surveys that were not disclosed in the Prior Survey are hereinafter  referred to
as the "New Survey Matters".

4.3  Environmental.  Prior to the  Effective  Date,  each  Seller  caused  to be
delivered  to  Purchaser  a copy of the  Prior  Environmental  Report  for  each
Property.  Purchaser  acknowledges  that it has  reviewed and approved the Prior
Environmental  Reports.  Purchaser  acknowledges and agrees that delivery of the
Prior Environmental  Reports is subject to Section 3.4.2.  Purchaser is required
to order Phase I Environmental  study for each Assumption Property under Section
4.7.8. To the extent that Purchaser desires that the Prior Environmental  Report
for the Payoff Property be updated,  Purchaser shall request the same in writing
to  Seller's  Representative  no  later  than one (1)  Business  Day  after  the
Effective  Date.  The Prior  Environmental  Report,  together  with any  updated
environmental  report (the  "Updated  Environmental  Reports")  are  hereinafter
collectively  referred to as the  "Environmental  Reports").  Purchaser shall be
solely  responsible  for the  cost  and  expense  of the  Updated  Environmental
Reports. Any new material matters on the Updated Environmental Reports that were
not disclosed on the Prior Environmental  Reports are hereinafter referred to as
the "New Environmental Report Matters."

4.4 Objection and Response Process. On or before the date which is 35 days after
the Effective Date (the "Objection Deadline"), Purchaser shall, on a Property-by
Property basis,  give written notice (the  "Objection  Notice") to the attorneys
for  Seller of any  material  New  Title  Matters,  New  Survey  Matters  or New
Environmental  Report  Matters to which  Purchaser  objects (the  "Objections").
Purchaser  acknowledges  that it has no right to  object to any  matters  in the
Prior Title Documents,  the Prior Surveys, or the Prior  Environmental  Reports,
nor to any New Title  Matters,  New Survey Matters or New  Environmental  Report
Matters that are not material.  If Purchaser fails to tender an Objection Notice
with respect to a Property on or before the Objection Deadline,  Purchaser shall
be deemed to have approved and irrevocably  waived any objections to any matters
covered by the Updated  Title  Documents,  the  Updated  Surveys and the Updated
Environmental  Reports.  On or before  40 days  after  the  Effective  Date (the
"Response  Deadline"),  a Seller who has  received an  Objection  Notice may, in
Seller's sole discretion, give Purchaser notice (the "Response Notice") of those
Objections which Seller is willing to cure, if any. Sellers shall be entitled to
reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure the Objections applicable to
any  Seller.  If a Seller  fails to  deliver a Response  Notice by the  Response
Deadline,  Seller  shall be  deemed  to have  elected  not to cure or  otherwise
resolve  any  matter  set  forth  in  the  Objection  Notice.  If  Purchaser  is
dissatisfied  with the Response Notice,  Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy,
elect by  written  notice  given to  Seller's  Representative  on or before  the
expiration of the Feasibility Period (the "Final Response  Deadline") either (a)
to accept the  Updated  Title  Documents,  the  Updated  Surveys and the Updated
Environmental Reports with resolution, if any, of the Objections as set forth in
the  Response  Notice  (or  if no  Response  Notice  is  tendered,  without  any
resolution  of the  Objections)  and without any  reduction  or abatement of the
Purchase  Price,  or (b) to terminate this Contract,  in which event the Initial
Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser (subject to Purchaser's  obligation under
Section 3.5.2 to return all  Third-Party  Reports and  information and Materials
provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Initial  Deposit).
If Purchaser  fails to give notice to terminate  this  Contract on or before the
Final Response  Deadline,  Purchaser  shall be deemed to have elected to approve
and  irrevocably  waived any  objections  to any matters  covered by the Updated
Title  Documents,  the Updated  Surveys and the Updated  Environmental  Reports,
subject  only to  resolution,  if any,  of the  Objections  as set  forth in the
Response Notice (or if no Response Notice is tendered, without any resolution of
the Objections).

4.5 Permitted Exceptions.  The Deed for each Property delivered pursuant to this
Contract  shall  be  subject  to the  following,  all of which  shall be  deemed
"Permitted Exceptions":

4.5.1 All matters shown in the Title Documents and the Survey for such Property,
other than (a) those Objections,  if any, which the applicable Seller has agreed
to cure pursuant to the Response Notice under Section 4.4, (b) mechanics'  liens
and taxes due and payable with respect to the period preceding Closing,  (c) the
standard exception  regarding the rights of parties in possession which shall be
limited to those  parties in  possession  pursuant  to the  Leases,  and (d) the
standard  exception  pertaining  to taxes  which  shall be  limited to taxes and
assessments payable in the year in which the Closing occurs and subsequent taxes
and assessments;

4.5.2 All Leases for such Property;

4.5.3 With respect to any Assumption Property, its Assumed Encumbrances;

4.5.4 Applicable zoning and governmental regulations and ordinances;

4.5.5  Any  defects  in or  objections  to  title  to such  Property,  or  title
exceptions or encumbrances, arising by, through or under Purchaser; and

4.5.6 The terms and conditions of this Contract.

4.6 Existing  Deed of Trust.  The  provisions  of this Section 4.6 apply only to
Payoff  Properties.  It is understood and agreed that,  whether or not Purchaser
gives an Objection Notice with respect to a Payoff  Property,  any Deed of Trust
shall not be deemed a  Permitted  Exception,  whether  Purchaser  gives  written
notice of such or not, and shall be paid off, satisfied, discharged and/or cured
by the  applicable  Seller at  Closing,  provided  that the  Lender  Fees due in
connection with a Loan Payoff shall be paid by Purchaser.

4.7   Assumed  Encumbrances.  This  Section  4.7  applies  only to  Assumption
Properties.

4.7.1  Purchaser  recognizes and agrees that, in connection  with the Loan on an
Assumption  Property made by Lender,  such Assumption  Property is encumbered by
the Assumed Deed of Trust and the Assumed Encumbrances. The Loan is evidenced by
the Note  applicable  to such  Assumption  Property.  Within  10 days  after the
Effective Date,  each Seller of an Assumption  Property agrees that it will make
available to Purchaser  (in the same manner in which such Seller is permitted to
make the Materials  available to Purchaser  under  Section  3.5.1) copies of the
Assumed Loan  Documents  which are in such  Seller's  possession  or  reasonable
control (subject to Section 3.5.2).

4.7.2  Purchaser  agrees  that,  at the Closing and  effective as of the Closing
Date, (a) Purchaser shall assume the applicable  Seller's  obligations under the
Note and all of the other applicable  Assumed Loan Documents and accept title to
each  Assumption  Property  subject  to  the  Deed  of  Trust  and  the  Assumed
Encumbrances  applicable to such  Assumption  Property,  and (b) the  applicable
Lender shall release the applicable  Seller, as well as any guarantors and other
obligated  parties under the Assumed Loan Documents,  from all obligations under
the Assumed Loan  Documents  (and any related  guarantees or letters of credit),
including,  without limitation, any obligation to make payments of principal and
interest  under the  applicable  Note  (collectively,  the foregoing (a) and (b)
referred to herein as the "Loan Assumption and Release"). Purchaser acknowledges
and agrees that (x) certain of the  provisions of the Assumed Loan Documents may
have been negotiated for the exclusive benefit of the applicable  Seller,  AIMCO
or their respective affiliates (the "Specific AIMCO Provision"),  and (y) unless
the Lender  otherwise  agrees in such Lender's  sole and  arbitrary  discretion,
Purchaser  will not be  permitted  to assume the benefit of the  Specific  AIMCO
Provisions  and the same shall be of no further  force or effect  from and after
the Closing Date. In connection  with obtaining the Loan Assumption and Release,
Seller   acknowledges   that  Purchaser   shall  negotiate  with  Lender  for  a
modification (the  "Modification") of the Note and the Assumed Loan Documents to
provide for a 30-year  amortization  period (the Loan Assumption and Release and
Modification,   together,  referred  to  herein  as  the  "Loan  Assumption  and
Modification").  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Lender's approval of the
Modification  may be  conditioned  upon (i)  amendment  or  modification  of the
Assumed Loan  Documents to match the terms and  conditions of Lender's  standard
loan documentation for similar deals with substantially  similar terms, (ii) the
imposition of additional borrower reserve accounts, and (iii) an increase to the
original  Loan  interest  rate of up to 2.0  basis  points.  Purchaser  shall be
responsible  for all  Assumption  Lender  Fees  imposed  or charged by Lender in
connection with the Loan Assumption and Modification.

4.7.3 Purchaser further acknowledges that the Assumed Loan Documents require the
satisfaction by Purchaser of certain  requirements as set forth therein to allow
for the Loan Assumption and Modification.  Accordingly,  Purchaser,  at its sole
cost and  expense  and  within 15 days  after  the  Effective  Date  (the  "Loan
Assumption Application Submittal Deadline"),  shall satisfy the requirements set
forth in the  Assumed  Loan  Documents  to allow  for each Loan  Assumption  and
Modification,  including, without limitation,  submitting a complete application
to the applicable Lender for assumption of each Loan together with all documents
and  information   required  in  connection   therewith  (the  "Loan  Assumption
Application").  Purchaser agrees to provide Seller's  Representative with a copy
of each Loan  Assumption  Application no later than 2 Business Days prior to the
Loan Assumption Application Submittal Deadline and shall provide evidence of its
submission to each Lender on or before the Loan Assumption Application Submittal
Deadline. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is solely responsible
for the preparation and submittal of each Loan Assumption Application, including
the  collection  of  all   materials,   documents,   certificates,   financials,
signatures,  and  other  items  required  to be  submitted  to  such  Lender  in
connection with each Loan Assumption Application.

4.7.4 Provided that (a) Purchaser fully complies with its obligations under this
Contract  (including this Section 4.7) and the requirements of the Assumed Deeds
of Trust (including,  without limitation, Section 21 thereof) in connection with
obtaining each Loan Assumption and Release,  (b) Purchaser uses its best efforts
to obtain each Loan  Assumption  and Release,  and (c) Purchaser does not obtain
the consent of the Lender to the Loan Assumption and Release for both Assumption
Properties within 65 days after the Effective Date (the "Loan Approval Period"),
then Purchaser shall have the right to give Escrow Agent notice terminating this
Contract  based solely on the fact that the Loan  Assumption and Release has not
been approved by the Lender (the "Loan Approval  Termination")  on or before the
expiration of the Loan Approval Period, in which event this Contract shall be of
no further  force and effect,  subject to and except for  Purchaser's  liability
pursuant to Section 3.3 and any other  provision of this Contract which survives
such  termination,  and Escrow  Agent  shall  forthwith  return  the  Deposit to
Purchaser.  If  Purchaser  fails  to  provide  Seller  with  written  notice  of
termination  prior to the  expiration  of the Loan  Approval  Period  in  strict
accordance  with the notice  provisions of this Contract,  Purchaser's  right to
terminate  under this Section 4.7.4 shall be permanently  waived,  this Contract
shall remain in full force and effect, the Deposit shall be non-refundable,  and
Purchaser's  obligation to obtain the Lender's  approval of the Loan  Assumption
and Release for both Assumption Properties and to purchase all of the Properties
shall be non-contingent  and  unconditional  except only for satisfaction of the
conditions  expressly  stated in  subsections  8.1.1  through  8.1.4.  Purchaser
recognizes  and agrees that if the Loan  Approval  Period  expires and Purchaser
does not terminate this Contract, the Loan Assumption and Release shall not be a
condition to Purchaser's  obligation to close,  and, if the Loan  Assumption and
Release  is not  obtained  and the  Closing  has not  occurred  on or before the
Closing Date,  Purchaser shall be in default under this Contract,  entitling the
Seller  to  terminate  this  Contract,  in  which  event  the  Deposit  shall be
immediately released to Seller by the Escrow Agent and this Contract shall be of
no further  force and effect,  subject to and except for  Purchaser's  liability
pursuant to Section 3.3 and any other  provision of this Contract which survives
such termination. "

4.7.5 Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses (including,  without limitation,
all servicing fees and charges,  transfer  fees,  assumption  fees,  title fees,
endorsement fees, and other fees to release each Seller of all liability under a
Loan)  imposed or charged by the Lender or its counsel  (such fees and  expenses
collectively  being referred to as the "Assumption  Lender Fees"), in connection
with each Loan Assumption Application and each Loan Assumption and Modification.
The  provisions  of this Section  4.7.5 shall  survive the  termination  of this
Contract and the Closing.

4.7.6  Additionally,  Purchaser  shall be  responsible  for (a)  replacing  (and
increasing  to the extent  required  by the  applicable  Lender)  all  reserves,
impounds and other  accounts  required to be maintained in connection  with each
Loan, and (b) funding any additional reserves,  impounds or accounts required by
a Lender to be maintained  by Purchaser in  connection  with each Loan after the
Loan Assumption and Release or the Loan Assumption and  Modification,  whichever
may apply, (the foregoing amounts in (a) and (b) collectively referred to herein
as the "Required Loan Fund Amounts"). Any existing reserves,  impounds and other
accounts required to be replaced by Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing sentence
shall be released in Good Funds to the  applicable  Seller at the  Closing.  The
provisions of this Section 4.7.6 shall survive the Closing.

4.7.7  Purchaser  agrees  promptly to deliver to each Lender all  documents  and
information  required by the Assumed Loan Documents,  and such other information
or  documentation  as such Lender  reasonably  may request,  including,  without
limitation,  financial  statements,  income  tax  returns  and  other  financial
information for Purchaser and any required guarantor. Each Seller agrees that it
will cooperate with Purchaser and the applicable  Lender,  at no cost or expense
to such  Seller,  in  connection  with  Purchaser's  application  to Lender  for
approval of the applicable Loan Assumption and Modification.

4.7.8 No later than 10 days after the Effective  Date,  Purchaser  shall order a
Phase I  Environmental  study  for  each  Assumption  Property  (prepared  by an
environmental  engineer  reasonably  acceptable to Seller's  Representative  and
Lender),  and covenants that such Phase I Environmental study shall be delivered
to Seller's Representative and Lender no later than 10 days prior to the Closing
Date  in  connection  with  and  as a  precondition  to a  Loan  Assumption  and
Modification for each Assumption  Property.  4.7.9 Purchaser shall be in default
hereunder  if  (a)  Purchaser   fails  to  submit  a  complete  Loan  Assumption
Application  for each  Assumption  Property by the Loan  Assumption  Application
Submittal  Deadline,  or (b) subject to Purchaser's right to terminate set forth
in Section 4.7.4,  Purchaser fails to obtain the Loan Assumption and Release for
each Assumption  Property prior to the Closing Date. If either of the events set
forth in subsentences (a) or (b) occurs, Sellers may (i) terminate this Contract
and the Deposit  shall be  immediately  released by the Escrow Agent to Sellers,
(ii) extend the time for Closing for all Properties as reasonably  determined by
Sellers to permit Purchaser to obtain the Loan Assumption and Release for one or
more of the  Assumption  Properties,  or (iii)  terminate  this  Contract in its
entirety.

4.8 Purchaser  Financing.  Purchaser  assumes full  responsibility to obtain the
funds required for settlement,  and Purchaser's  acquisition of such funds shall
not be a contingency to the Closing.

5.4.2 Operating Expenses.  With respect to each Property,  all of the operating,
maintenance,  taxes (other than real estate taxes,  such as rental  taxes),  and
other expenses incurred in operating such Property that such Seller  customarily
pays,  and any other costs  incurred in the ordinary  course of business for the
management  and  operation  of such  Property,  shall be  prorated on an accrual
basis.  Each Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to Closing and
Purchaser  shall pay all such  expenses  that  accrue from and after the Closing
Date.

5.4.3  Utilities.  With respect to each  Property,  the final readings and final
billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Date, in which
case  each  Seller  shall  pay all  such  bills  as of the  Closing  Date and no
proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Otherwise,
a proration shall be made based upon the parties' reasonable good faith estimate
and a  readjustment  made within 30 days after the Closing,  if necessary.  Each
Seller shall be entitled to the return of any  deposit(s)  posted by it with any
utility  company,  and such Seller shall notify each utility company serving its
Property to terminate its account, effective as of noon on the Closing Date.

5.4.4 Real  Estate  Taxes.  Any real  estate ad  valorem or similar  taxes for a
Property,  or any  installment  of  assessments  payable in  installments  which
installment is payable in the calendar year of Closing, shall be prorated to the
date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. The proration of real property
taxes or installments of assessments shall be based upon the assessed  valuation
and tax rate figures  (assuming  payment at the  earliest  time to allow for the
maximum  possible  discount)  for the year in which  the  Closing  occurs to the
extent the same are available;  provided,  that in the event that actual figures
(whether  for the assessed  value of such  Property or for the tax rate) for the
year of Closing are not  available at the Closing Date,  the proration  shall be
made using figures from the  preceding  year  (assuming  payment at the earliest
time to allow for the maximum possible discount). The proration of real property
taxes  or  installments  of  assessments  shall  be  final  and not  subject  to
re-adjustment  after Closing.  Purchaser  acknowledges  that Seller has filed an
appeal  with  respect to the real  estate ad valorem or other  similar  property
taxes applicable to the Nob Hill Villa Community Property. After Closing, Seller
shall withdraw such appeal.

5.4.5  Property  Contracts.  Purchaser  shall assume at Closing the  obligations
under the Property Contracts assumed by Purchaser;  however,  operating expenses
shall be prorated under Section 5.4.2.

5.4.6




            Leases.

5.4.6.1.....With  respect to each  Property,  all collected  rent (whether fixed
monthly rentals,  additional rentals,  escalation rentals,  retroactive rentals,
operating cost  pass-throughs or other sums and charges payable by Tenants under
the  Leases),  income and  expenses  from any  portion  of a  Property  shall be
prorated as of the Closing  Date  (prorated  for any partial  month).  Purchaser
shall receive all collected rent and income attributable to dates from and after
the Closing  Date.  Each Seller  shall  receive  all  collected  rent and income
attributable to dates prior to the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no prorations shall be made in relation to either (a) non-delinquent rents which
have  not  been  collected  as of the  Closing  Date,  or (b)  delinquent  rents
existing,  if any, as of the Closing Date (the foregoing (a) and (b) referred to
herein as the  "Uncollected  Rents").  In adjusting for  Uncollected  Rents,  no
adjustments  shall be made in a Seller's  favor for rents which have accrued and
are  unpaid as of the  Closing,  but  Purchaser  shall pay to such  Seller  such
accrued  Uncollected Rents as and when collected by Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees
to  bill  Tenants  of the  Properties  for  all  Uncollected  Rents  and to take
reasonable actions to collect Uncollected Rents. After the Closing,  each Seller
shall continue to have the right,  but not the  obligation,  in its own name, to
demand  payment of and to collect  Uncollected  Rents owed to such Seller by any
Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation,  the right to continue or
commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant and the delivery of the
Leases  Assignment  shall not  constitute  a waiver by any Seller of such right.
Purchaser agrees to cooperate with each Seller in connection with all efforts by
such Seller to collect  such  Uncollected  Rents and to take all steps,  whether
before or after the Closing Date, as may be necessary to carry out the intention
of the foregoing,  including,  without limitation,  the delivery to each Seller,
within 7 days  after a  written  request,  of any  relevant  books  and  records
(including,  without limitation, rent statements,  receipted bills and copies of
tenant  checks  used in  payment of such  rent),  the  execution  of any and all
consents or other documents, and the undertaking of any act reasonably necessary
for the collection of such Uncollected Rents by such Seller; provided,  however,
that Purchaser's obligation to cooperate with a Seller pursuant to this sentence
shall not  obligate  Purchaser  to  terminate  any Tenant Lease with an existing
Tenant or evict any existing Tenant from a Property.

5.4.6.2.....At Closing, with respect to each Property, Purchaser shall receive a
credit against the applicable  Purchase Price in an amount equal to the received
and  unapplied  balance  of all  cash  (or  cash  equivalent)  Tenant  Deposits,
including, but not limited to, security,  damage or other refundable deposits or
required to be paid by any of the Tenants to secure their respective obligations
under the  Leases,  together,  in all cases,  with any  interest  payable to the
Tenants  thereunder as may be required by their respective Tenant Lease or state
law (the "Tenant Security Deposit Balance"). Any cash (or cash equivalents) held
by a Seller  which  constitute  the Tenant  Security  Deposit  Balance  shall be
retained by the applicable  Seller in exchange for the foregoing  credit against
the  applicable  Purchase  Price  and shall not be  transferred  by such  Seller
pursuant to this  Contract (or any of the documents  delivered at Closing),  but
the obligation with respect to the Tenant Security  Deposit Balance  nonetheless
shall be assumed by Purchaser.  The Tenant  Security  Deposit  Balance shall not
include  any  non-refundable  deposits  or fees paid by Tenants  to any  Seller,
either pursuant to the Leases or otherwise.

5.4.6.3.....With  respect to operating expenses,  taxes, utility charges,  other
operating cost pass-throughs,  retroactive rental  escalations,  sums or charges
payable by Tenants  under the Tenant  Leases for a Property,  to the extent that
the  applicable  Seller has  received as of the Closing  payments  allocable  to
periods  subsequent  to  Closing,  the same shall be properly  prorated  with an
adjustment in favor of Purchaser,  and Purchaser shall reserve a credit therefor
at Closing for such Property. With respect to any payments received by Purchaser
after the  Closing  allocable  to a Seller  prior to  Closing,  Purchaser  shall
promptly pay the same to the applicable Seller.

5.4.7 Existing  Loan-Payoff  Properties.  This Section 5.4.7 shall be applicable
only to Payoff Properties. On the Closing Date, each Seller of a Payoff Property
shall pay (which  payment may be made by such Seller out of the  proceeds of the
Purchase Price applicable to its Property) the outstanding  principal balance of
the Note  applicable to its Property  together  with all interest  accrued under
such Note prior to the Closing Date (the "Loan Payoff"). Purchaser shall pay all
Lender  Fees  (subject  to  reduction  from  the  applicable  Purchase  Price in
accordance with Section 2.2). Any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts
maintained  in  connection  with the  applicable  Loan shall be released in Good
Funds to the applicable  Seller at the Closing unless credited by the applicable
Lender against the amount due from the applicable Seller under the Note.

5.4.8 Existing Loan-Assumption Properties. This Section 5.4.8 is applicable only
to  Assumption  Properties.  Each  Seller  of an  Assumption  Property  shall be
responsible  for all  principal  required to be paid under the terms of the Note
applicable  to its  Assumption  Property  prior to  Closing,  together  with all
interest accrued under such Note prior to Closing,  all of which may be a credit
against the  Purchase  Price for its  Property  as  provided  in Section  2.2.3.
Purchaser  shall be  responsible  for all  Assumption  Lender Fees and all other
fees, penalties, interest and other amounts due and owing under the Assumed Loan
Documents  as a result  of any Loan  Assumption  and  Release.  As set  forth in
Section 4.7.6, any existing reserves,  impounds and other accounts maintained in
connection  with the  applicable  Loan and required to be replaced by Purchaser,
shall be released in Good Funds to Seller at the Closing.

5.4.9  Insurance.  No proration shall be made in relation to insurance  premiums
and insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser.

5.4.10......Employees.  All of each Seller's and each Seller's manager's on-site
employees shall have their employment at the applicable  Property  terminated as
of the Closing Date.

5.4.11......Closing  Costs.  With respect to each Property,  Purchaser shall pay
any transfer, mortgage assumption (if applicable), sales, use, gross receipts or
similar taxes,  the cost of recording any instruments  required to discharge any
liens or encumbrances against such Property, any premiums or fees required to be
paid by  Purchaser  with  respect to the  applicable  Title  Policy  pursuant to
Section 4.1, and one-half of the  customary  closing  costs of the Escrow Agent.
Each  Seller  shall  pay the base  premium  for its Title  Policy to the  extent
required by Section  4.1,  and one-half of the  customary  closing  costs of the
Escrow Agent. Seller will request that Title Insurer secure a simultaneous issue
rate for any loan title policy  purchased by  Purchaser in  connection  with the
Closing.

5.4.12......Utility  Contracts.  If any Seller has entered into an agreement for
the purchase of electricity,  gas or other utility service for its Property or a
group of properties  (including  such  Property) (a "Utility  Contract"),  or an
affiliate  of such  Seller has entered  into a Utility  Contract,  such  Utility
Contract  shall be  identified  on the Seller  Information  Schedule and, as set
forth on the Seller Information Schedule,  (a) Purchaser either shall assume the
Utility Contract with respect to such Property, or (b) the reasonably calculated
costs of the Utility  Contract  attributable to such Property from and after the
Closing  shall be paid to the  applicable  Seller at the Closing and such Seller
shall remain responsible for payments under the Utility Contract.

5.4.13......Possession.  Possession  of each  Property,  subject to the  Leases,
Property  Contracts which are not identified as Terminated  Contracts during the
Feasibility  Period  (subject to the  limitations of Section 3.6), and Permitted
Exceptions,  shall be  delivered  to  Purchaser at the Closing upon release from
escrow of all items to be  delivered  by  Purchaser  pursuant  to  Section  5.3,
including,  without  limitation,  the applicable  Purchase  Price. To the extent
reasonably  available  to each  Seller,  originals  or copies of its  Leases and
Property Contracts, lease files, warranties, guaranties, operating manuals, keys
to the property, and such Seller's books and records relating to its Property to
be conveyed by such Seller (other than proprietary  information)  (collectively,
"Seller's Property-Related Files and Records") regarding the applicable Property
shall be made  available  to  Purchaser  at such  Property  after  the  Closing.
Purchaser  agrees,  for a period of not less than 1 year after the Closing  (the
"Records  Hold  Period"),  to  (a)  provide  and  allow  the  applicable  Seller
reasonable access to Seller's Property-Related Files and Records for purposes of
inspection  and  copying  thereof,  and (b)  reasonably  maintain  and  preserve
Seller's  Property-Related  Files and Records.  If at any time after the Records
Hold Period, Purchaser desires to dispose of any Seller's Property-Related Files
and Records,  Purchaser must first provide the  applicable  Seller prior written
notice (the "Records  Disposal  Notice").  Such Seller shall have a period of 30
days  after  receipt  of the  Records  Disposal  Notice to enter the  applicable
Property (or such other  location  that such records are then stored) and remove
or copy those of Seller's  Property-Related  Files and Records  that such Seller
desires to retain. Purchaser agrees (i) to include the covenants of this Section
5.4.13  pertaining  to  Seller's  Property-Related  Files  and  Records  in  any
management  contract for each  Property  (and to bind the manager  thereunder to
such  covenants),  and (ii) to bind any future purchaser of such Property to the
covenants of this Section 5.4.13 pertaining to Seller's  Property-Related  Files
and Records.  Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by each
Seller (in such Seller's sole discretion), defend (with counsel approved by such
Seller) such  Seller's  Indemnified  Parties from and against any and all Losses
arising from or related to Purchaser's  failure to comply with the provisions of
this Section 5.4.13.

5.4.14......Survival.  The  provisions  of this  Section  5.4 shall  survive the
Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.

5.5 Post  Closing  Adjustments.  In  general,  and  except as  provided  in this
Contract or the Closing Documents,  each Seller shall be entitled to all income,
and shall pay all  expenses,  relating to the  operation of its Property for the
period prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser  shall be entitled to all income,
and shall pay all  expenses,  relating to the operation of such Property for the
period  commencing  on and after the  Closing  Date.  Purchaser  or a Seller may
request that  Purchaser  and such Seller  undertake to re-adjust any item on the
Proration  Schedule  (or any item  omitted  therefrom)  in  accordance  with the
provisions  of Section 5.4 of this  Contract;  provided,  however,  that neither
party shall have any  obligation  to  re-adjust  any items for any  Property (a)
after the  expiration  of 60 days after  Closing,  or (b) subject to such 60-day
period,  unless such items exceed $5,000.00 in magnitude (either individually or
in the aggregate) with respect to such Property.  The provisions of this Section
5.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

ARTICLE VI..
            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER AND PURCHASER

6.1 Seller's Representations. Except, in all cases, for any fact, information or
condition  disclosed  in the Title  Documents,  the  Permitted  Exceptions,  the
Property Contracts,  or the Materials,  or which is otherwise known by Purchaser
prior to the Closing, each Seller,  individually and severally with respect only
to itself and its Property,  represents  and warrants to Purchaser the following
(collectively,  the "Seller's  Representations") as of the Effective Date and as
of the Closing Date  (provided  that  Purchaser's  remedies if any such Seller's
Representations are untrue as of the Closing Date are limited to those set forth
in Section 8.1):

6.1.1 Such Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the  state of its  formation  set  forth on the  Seller  Information
Schedule;  and,  subject to Section  8.2.4,  and, with respect to any Assumption
Property,  any  approvals  required  from a  Lender  for a Loan  Assumption  and
Modification, has or at the Closing shall have the entity power and authority to
sell and convey its Property and to execute the documents to be executed by such
Seller and prior to the Closing will have taken as  applicable,  all  corporate,
partnership, limited liability company or equivalent entity actions required for
the  execution  and  delivery  of this  Contract,  and the  consummation  of the
transactions  contemplated by this Contract.  The compliance with or fulfillment
of the terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach
of, the terms,  conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under,  any
contract to which such  Seller is a party or by which such  Seller is  otherwise
bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse affect on
such  Seller's  ability  to  consummate  the  transaction  contemplated  by this
Contract or on the Property. Subject to Section 8.2.4, this Contract is a valid,
binding and  enforceable  agreement  against such Seller in accordance  with its
terms;

6.1.2  Other than the  Leases,  such  Seller's  Property  is not  subject to any
written lease executed by such Seller or, to such Seller's knowledge,  any other
possessory interests of any person;

6.1.3 Such Seller is not a "foreign person," as that term is used and defined in
the Internal Revenue Code, Section 1445, as amended;

6.1.4 Except as set forth on the Seller Information Schedule and for any actions
by such Seller to evict  Tenants under its Leases,  to such Seller's  knowledge,
there are no actions, proceedings,  litigation or governmental investigations or
condemnation   actions  either  pending  or  threatened  against  such  Seller's
Property;

6.1.5 To such  Seller's  knowledge,  such  Seller has not  received  any written
notice from a  governmental  agency of any uncured  material  violations  of any
federal,  state,  county or  municipal  law,  ordinance,  order,  regulation  or
requirement affecting such Seller's Property; and

6.1.6 To such  Seller's  knowledge,  such  Seller has not  received  any written
notice  of any  material  default  by  such  Seller  under  any of its  Property
Contracts that will not be terminated on the Closing Date.

6.1.7  Each  Seller  agrees  that it shall not  solicit or  transfer  any of its
Tenants  to  relocate  to  another  apartment  property  in which  AIMCO  has an
interest, except if necessary to complete repairs on Property.

6.2 AS-IS.  Except for  Seller's  Representations,  each  Property is  expressly
purchased  and sold "AS IS," "WHERE  IS," and "WITH ALL  FAULTS."  The  Purchase
Price for each  Property and the terms and  conditions  set forth herein are the
result of arm's-length bargaining between entities familiar with transactions of
this kind, and said price,  terms and conditions reflect the fact that Purchaser
shall have the benefit of, and is not relying upon, any information  provided by
Sellers  or Broker or  statements,  representations  or  warranties,  express or
implied,  made by or enforceable directly against Sellers or Broker,  including,
without limitation,  any relating to the value of any Property,  the physical or
environmental  condition of any Property,  any state,  federal,  county or local
law,  ordinance,  order or permit;  or the  suitability,  compliance  or lack of
compliance of any Property with any regulation, or any other attribute or matter
of or relating to any Property  (other than any covenants of title  contained in
the Deed conveying a Property and Seller's  Representations with respect to such
Property).  Purchaser  agrees that Sellers shall not be responsible or liable to
Purchaser for any defects,  errors or omissions, or on account of any conditions
affecting the  Properties.  Purchaser,  its successors  and assigns,  and anyone
claiming by, through or under Purchaser,  hereby fully releases each of Seller's
Indemnified Parties from, and irrevocably waives its right to maintain,  any and
all  claims  and  causes  of  action  that it or they may now have or  hereafter
acquire  against any  Seller's  Indemnified  Parties with respect to any and all
Losses  arising  from or  related to any  defects,  errors,  omissions  or other
conditions affecting the Properties.  Purchaser represents and warrants that, as
of the date hereof and as of the Closing  Date,  it has and shall have  reviewed
and conducted such independent analyses, studies (including, without limitation,
environmental  studies and analyses  concerning the presence of lead,  asbestos,
PCBs  and  radon in and  about  the  Properties),  reports,  investigations  and
inspections  as it deems  appropriate  in  connection  with the  Properties.  If
Sellers  provide or have  provided any  documents,  summaries,  opinions or work
product of  consultants,  surveyors,  architects,  engineers,  title  companies,
governmental  authorities  or any other  person or entity  with  respect  to the
Properties,  including,  without  limitation,  the offering  prepared by Broker,
Purchaser  and Sellers  agree that  Sellers have done so or shall do so only for
the  convenience  of the  parties,  Purchaser  shall  not rely  thereon  and the
reliance  by  Purchaser  upon any such  documents,  summaries,  opinions or work
product  shall not  create  or give  rise to any  liability  of or  against  any
Seller's Indemnified Parties. Purchaser shall rely only upon any title insurance
obtained  by  Purchaser  with  respect  to  title to the  Properties.  Purchaser
acknowledges   and  agrees  that  no   representation   has  been  made  and  no
responsibility  is  assumed  by  Sellers  with  respect  to  current  and future
applicable  zoning  or  building  code  requirements  or the  compliance  of the
Properties with any other laws, rules, ordinances or regulations,  the financial
earning  capacity or expense  history of the  Properties,  the  continuation  of
contracts, continued occupancy levels of the Properties, or any part thereof, or
the continued occupancy by tenants of any Leases or, without limiting any of the
foregoing,  occupancy at Closing.  Prior to Closing,  each Seller shall have the
right, but not the obligation,  to enforce its rights against any and all of its
Property  occupants,  guests or tenants.  Purchaser agrees that the departure or
removal, prior to Closing, of any of such guests, occupants or tenants shall not
be the basis for, nor shall it give rise to, any claim on the part of Purchaser,
nor shall it affect the  obligations  of  Purchaser  under this  Contract in any
manner  whatsoever;  and Purchaser  shall close title and accept delivery of the
applicable  Deed with or without  such  tenants in  possession  and  without any
allowance or reduction in the  applicable  Purchase  Price under this  Contract.
Purchaser  hereby  releases  Sellers  from any and all  claims  and  liabilities
relating to the  foregoing  matters.  The  provisions  of this Section 6.2 shall
survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

6.3  Survival of Seller's  Representations.  Sellers  and  Purchaser  agree that
Seller's  Representations  shall  survive  Closing for a period of 6 months (the
"Survival  Period").  No Seller shall have liability  after the Survival  Period
with respect to any of its Seller's  Representations  contained herein except to
the extent that Purchaser has requested  arbitration  against such Seller during
the Survival  Period for breach of any of such  Seller's  Representations.  Each
Seller shall be liable only for the breach of its own Seller's  Representations.
Further,   the   liability   for  each   Seller  for  breach  of  its   Seller's
Representations  shall be limited to, and capped at,  $25,000 for such  Seller's
Property  for  which  a  breach  of  Seller's  Representations  occurred,  on  a
Property-by-Property  basis if a Seller is selling more than one Property.  Such
cap on liability  shall apply for any individual  breach or in the aggregate for
all breaches of such  Seller's  Representations  with respect to such  Property.
Purchaser  shall not be  entitled  to bring  any claim for a breach of  Seller's
Representations  unless the claim for damage  (either in the  aggregate or as to
any individual  claim) by Purchaser for a Property exceeds $5,000.  In the event
that a Seller breaches any representation contained in Section 6.1 and Purchaser
had  knowledge  of such breach  prior to the Closing  Date,  Purchaser  shall be
deemed to have waived any right of recovery,  and such Seller shall not have any
liability in connection therewith.

6.4 Definition of Seller's  Knowledge.  Any  representations and warranties made
"to the  knowledge  of [such]  Seller"  shall not be deemed to imply any duty of
inquiry. For purposes of this Contract, the term Seller's "knowledge" shall mean
and refer only to actual  knowledge  of the  Regional  Property  Manager of such
Seller  and  shall  not be  construed  to refer to the  knowledge  of any  other
partner, officer, director, agent, employee or representative of such Seller, or
any affiliate of such Seller,  or to impose upon such Regional  Property Manager
any duty to investigate the matter to which such actual knowledge or the absence
thereof  pertains,  or  to  impose  upon  such  Regional  Property  Manager  any
individual personal liability.

6.5  Representations  And  Warranties Of Purchaser.  For the purpose of inducing
Sellers to enter into this Contract and to  consummate  the sale and purchase of
the  Properties in accordance  herewith,  Purchaser  represents  and warrants to
Sellers the following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

6.5.1 Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized,  validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of New York.

6.5.2  Purchaser,  acting  through  any of  its  or  their  duly  empowered  and
authorized officers or members,  has all necessary entity power and authority to
own and use its  properties and to transact the business in which it is engaged,
and has full power and  authority  to enter into this  Contract,  to execute and
deliver the  documents  and  instruments  required of Purchaser  herein,  and to
perform  its  obligations  hereunder;  and no  consent  of  any  of  Purchaser's
partners, directors, officers or members are required to so empower or authorize
Purchaser. The compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof
will not  conflict  with,  or result in a breach of, the  terms,  conditions  or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Purchaser is
a party or by which  Purchaser is otherwise  bound,  which  conflict,  breach or
default  would  have  a  material  adverse  affect  on  Purchaser's  ability  to
consummate the  transaction  contemplated  by this Contract.  This Contract is a
valid,  binding and enforceable  agreement  against Purchaser in accordance with
its terms.

6.5.3 No pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened litigation exists
which  if  determined   adversely   would  restrain  the   consummation  of  the
transactions  contemplated by this Contract or would declare illegal, invalid or
non-binding any of Purchaser's obligations or covenants to Sellers.

6.5.4  Other  than  Seller's  Representations,  Purchaser  has not relied on any
representation  or  warranty  made by Sellers or any  representative  of Sellers
(including, without limitation, Broker) in connection with this Contract and the
acquisition of the Properties.

6.5.5 The Broker and its  affiliates  do not, and will not at the Closing,  have
any  direct or  indirect  legal,  beneficial,  economic  or voting  interest  in
Purchaser  (or in an  assignee of  Purchaser,  which  pursuant to Section  13.3,
acquires any Property at the  Closing),  nor has  Purchaser or any  affiliate of
Purchaser  granted (as of the Effective  Date or the Closing Date) the Broker or
any of its  affiliates  any right or option to acquire  any  direct or  indirect
legal, beneficial, economic or voting interest in Purchaser.

      The  provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery
of the Deed to Purchaser.

ARTICLE VII
                           OPERATION OF THE PROPERTIES

7.1 Leases and Property Contracts.  During the period of time from the Effective
Date to the Closing  Date,  in the ordinary  course of business each Seller may,
with respect to its  Property,  enter into new Property  Contracts,  new Leases,
renew existing Leases or modify, terminate or accept the surrender or forfeiture
of any of the Leases, modify any Property Contracts,  or institute and prosecute
any available  remedies for default under any Lease or Property Contract without
first obtaining the written consent of Purchaser; provided, however, each Seller
agrees that any such new Property  Contracts or any new or renewed  Leases shall
not have a term in  excess  of 1 year (or such  longer  period of time for which
such  Property  Contracts  or  Leases  are  entered  into by such  Seller in the
ordinary  course of its  operation of its  Property)  without the prior  written
consent  of  Purchaser,  which  consent  shall  not  be  unreasonably  withheld,
conditioned or delayed.

7.2 General  Operation of  Property.  Except as  specifically  set forth in this
Article 7, each Seller shall operate its Property  after the  Effective  Date in
the ordinary  course of business,  and except as necessary in such Seller's sole
discretion  to address (a) any life or safety  issue at its  Property or (b) any
other matter which in such Seller's reasonable  discretion  materially adversely
affects the use, operation or value of such Property,  such Seller will not make
any material  alterations  to its  Property or remove any material  Fixtures and
Tangible  Personal Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed.

7.3 Liens.  Other than utility  easements and temporary  construction  easements
granted by a Seller in the ordinary  course of business,  each Seller  covenants
that it will not  voluntarily  create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach
to its  Property  between the  Effective  Date and the Closing  Date (other than
Leases and  Property  Contracts  as  provided in Section  7.1) unless  Purchaser
approves such lien or  encumbrance,  which  approval  shall not be  unreasonably
withheld  or  delayed.  If  Purchaser  approves  any  such  subsequent  lien  or
encumbrance,  the same shall be deemed a Permitted  Encumbrance for all purposes
hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII......
                         CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

8.1 Purchaser's Conditions to Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Section
8.1,  Purchaser's  obligation to close under this Contract,  shall be subject to
and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following conditions
precedent:

8.1.1 All of the  documents  required to be delivered by Sellers to Purchaser at
the  Closing  pursuant  to the  terms  and  conditions  hereof  shall  have been
delivered;

8.1.2 Each of Seller's Representations shall be true in all material respects as
of the Closing Date;

8.1.3 Each Seller  shall have  complied  with,  fulfilled  and  performed in all
material  respects each of the  covenants,  terms and  conditions to be complied
with, fulfilled or performed by such Seller hereunder;

8.1.4 No Seller nor any of Seller's  general  partners  shall be a debtor in any
bankruptcy  proceeding  nor shall have been in the last 6 months a debtor in any
bankruptcy proceeding; and

8.1.5 If  Purchaser  has complied  with the  requirements  of Section 4.7,  with
respect to any Assumption  Property,  the applicable Loan Assumption and Release
shall have occurred.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there are no other conditions on
Purchaser's  obligation  to Close except as expressly  set forth in this Section
8.1.

      If any condition set forth in Sections 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 is not
met,  Purchaser  may (a) waive any of the  foregoing  conditions  and proceed to
Closing on the Closing Date with no offset or deduction  from the Purchase Price
for any Property, or (b) notify Seller's Representative (a "Termination Notice")
in writing of  Purchaser's  decision to terminate this Contract for the Property
for which there was such a failure of  condition or default and receive a return
of the  Allocated  Share  of the  Deposit  from the  Escrow  Agent  (subject  to
Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all Third-Party Reports and
information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return
of the Allocated Share of the Deposit).  If Seller's  Representative  receives a
Termination  Notice,  Seller's  Representative may, within 3 Business Days after
receiving  the   Termination   Notice,   give   Purchaser   written   notice  (a
"Reinstatement   Notice")  that  Purchaser  either  must  purchase  all  of  the
Properties  or  terminate  this  Contract for all of the  Properties.  Purchaser
shall,  within 3 Business  Days after  receiving a  Reinstatement  Notice,  give
Seller's  Representative written notice of whether it desires to purchase all of
the Properties or terminate this Contract in its entirety;  Purchaser's  failure
to  provide  Seller's  Representative  with  written  notice  that it desires to
terminate this Contract in its entirety shall be deemed Purchaser's  decision to
purchase all of the Properties.

8.2 Sellers'  Conditions to Closing.  Without  limiting any of the rights of any
Seller  elsewhere  provided for in this  Contract,  each Seller's  obligation to
close with respect to  conveyance of its Property  under this Contract  shall be
subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment of each and all of the following
conditions precedent:

8.2.1 All of the  documents  and funds  required to be delivered by Purchaser to
Seller at the Closing  pursuant to the terms and  conditions  hereof  shall have
been delivered;

8.2.2  Each  of the  representations,  warranties  and  covenants  of  Purchaser
contained herein shall be true in all material respects as of the Closing Date;

8.2.3  Purchaser  shall have  complied  with,  fulfilled  and  performed  in all
material  respects each of the  covenants,  terms and  conditions to be complied
with, fulfilled or performed by Purchaser hereunder;

8.2.4 Such Seller shall have received all consents,  documentation and approvals
necessary to consummate  and facilitate the  transactions  contemplated  hereby,
including,  without  limitation,  a tax free exchange  pursuant to Section 13.19
(and the amendment of such Seller's (or such Seller's affiliates' partnership or
other  organization   documents  in  connection  therewith)  (a)  from  Seller's
unaffiliated  partners,  members,  managers,  shareholders  or  directors to the
extent required by Seller's (or Seller's affiliates')  organizational documents,
and (b) as required by law;

8.2.5 With respect to any Assumption  Property,  the applicable  Loan Assumption
and Release shall have occurred; and

8.2.6  AIMCO  shall,  directly  or  indirectly,  own more than 50% of the voting
interests in each Seller at the time of Closing.

      If any of the foregoing  conditions  in Sections  8.2.1 through 8.2.5 to a
Seller's  obligation to close with respect to  conveyance of its Property  under
this  Contract  are not met,  such  Seller  may (a) waive  any of the  foregoing
conditions  and  proceed to Closing on the  Closing  Date,  (b)  terminate  this
Contract  either in its entirety or with respect to its  Property,  and, if such
failure  constitutes a default by Purchaser,  exercise any of its remedies under
Section 10.1. If a Seller terminates this Contract with respect to its Property,
the remaining  Sellers may elect either to terminate this Contract or proceed to
close the remaining  Properties.  The termination of this Contract by any Seller
pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be exercised by written  notice from Seller's
Representative  to Purchaser by 12:00 p.m. (of the time zone in which the Escrow
Agent is located) of the Closing Date.

      If the  condition  set forth in  Section  8.2.6 has not  occurred  for any
Seller,  then this Contract shall  terminate in its entirety and Purchaser shall
recover the Deposit  (subject to Purchaser's  obligation  under Section 3.5.2 to
return all  Third-party  Reports  and  information  and  Materials  provided  to
Purchaser as a pre-condition to the return of the Deposit to Purchaser).

ARTICLE IX
                                    BROKERAGE

9.1 Indemnity. Each Seller, severally and individually,  represents and warrants
to Purchaser  that it has dealt only with CB Richard  Ellis,  2415 E.  Camelback
Road, Phoenix,  Arizona 85016 ("Broker") in connection with this Contract.  Each
Seller,  severally and individually,  and Purchaser each represents and warrants
to the other that,  other than  Broker,  it has not dealt with or  utilized  the
services of any other real estate  broker,  sales person or finder in connection
with this Contract, and each party agrees to indemnify,  hold harmless,  and, if
requested in the sole and absolute  discretion of the  indemnitee,  defend (with
counsel  approved by the indemnitee) the other party from and against all Losses
relating to brokerage commissions and finder's fees arising from or attributable
to the acts or omissions  of the  indemnifying  party.  The  provisions  of this
Section  9.1 shall  survive  the  termination  of this  Contract,  and if not so
terminated, the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

9.2 Broker Commission. If the Closing occurs, each Seller agrees to pay Broker a
commission  according to the terms of a separate  contract.  Broker shall not be
deemed a party or third party beneficiary of this Contract.

9.3 Broker Signature Page. As a condition to each Seller's obligation to pay the
commission  pursuant to Section 9.2, Broker shall execute the signature page for
Broker  attached  hereto solely for purposes of confirming the matters set forth
therein;  provided,  however,  that (a) Broker's signature hereon shall not be a
prerequisite  to the binding  nature of this  Contract on Purchaser and Sellers,
and the same shall  become fully  effective  upon  execution  by  Purchaser  and
Sellers,  and (b) the  signature  of Broker will not be  necessary  to amend any
provision of this Contract.

ARTICLE X
                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

10.1 Purchaser Default.  If Purchaser  defaults in its obligations  hereunder to
(a) deliver the Initial  Deposit or Additional  Deposit (or any other deposit or
payment required of Purchaser hereunder),  (b) deliver to Sellers the deliveries
specified under Section 5.3 on the date required thereunder,  or (c) deliver the
Purchase Price for each Property at the time required by Section 2.2.4 and close
on the purchase of the  Properties on the Closing Date,  then,  immediately  and
without  notice or cure,  Purchaser  shall  forfeit the Deposit,  and the Escrow
Agent shall  deliver the  Allocated  Share of the  Deposit to each  Seller,  and
neither  party shall be  obligated  to proceed with the purchase and sale of the
Properties.  If,  Purchaser  defaults  in  any  of  its  other  representations,
warranties or obligations  under this Contract,  and such default  continues for
more than 10 days  after  written  notice  from  Seller's  Representative,  then
Purchaser  shall  forfeit the Deposit,  and the Escrow  Agent shall  deliver the
Allocated  Share of the  Deposit to each  Seller,  and  neither  party  shall be
obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Property.  The Deposit is
liquidated  damages  and  recourse to the  Deposit  is,  except for  Purchaser's
indemnity and confidentiality obligations hereunder, Sellers' sole and exclusive
remedy for  Purchaser's  failure to  perform  its  obligation  to  purchase  the
Properties or breach of a representation  or warranty.  Sellers  expressly waive
the remedies of specific  performance and additional damages for such default by
Purchaser.  SELLERS AND PURCHASER  ACKNOWLEDGE  THAT  SELLERS'  DAMAGES WOULD BE
DIFFICULT  TO  DETERMINE,  AND THAT THE  DEPOSIT  IS A  REASONABLE  ESTIMATE  OF
SELLERS'  DAMAGES  RESULTING  FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS  OBLIGATION  TO
PURCHASE THE  PROPERTY.  SELLERS AND  PURCHASER  FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION
10.1.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLERS,  AND
SHALL BE SELLERS' EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY,
ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE
THE  TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED  BY THIS  CONTRACT,  OTHER THAN WITH  RESPECT TO
PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

10.2  Seller  Default.  If a  Seller,  prior  to the  Closing,  defaults  in its
representations,  warranties,  covenants,  or  obligations  under this Contract,
including  to sell its  Property as required by this  Contract  and such default
continues for more than 10 days after written  notice from  Purchaser,  then, at
Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser may
either (A) seek specific  performance of the defaulting Seller's  obligations to
deliver its Deed  pursuant to this  Contract  (but not  damages),  or (B) give a
Termination  Notice  to  Seller's  Representative  of  Purchaser's  decision  to
terminate  this Contract for the Property for which there was such a default and
receive a return of the  Allocated  Share of the Deposit  from the Escrow  Agent
(subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all Third-Party
Reports and information  and Materials  provided to Purchaser as a pre-condition
to the return of the Allocated Share of the Deposit). If Seller's Representative
receives a Termination  Notice,  Seller's  Representative may, within 3 Business
Days after  receiving the  Termination  Notice,  give Purchaser a  Reinstatement
Notice that  Purchaser  either must purchase all of the  Properties or terminate
this Contract for all of the Properties. Purchaser shall, within 3 Business Days
after receiving a Reinstatement  Notice, give Seller's  Representative notice of
whether it desires to purchase all of the  Properties or terminate this Contract
in its entirety;  Purchaser's failure to provide Seller's  Representative notice
that it desires to  terminate  this  Contract  in its  entirety  shall be deemed
Purchaser's  decision to purchase  all of the  Properties.  If this  Contract is
terminated in whole or in part,  Purchaser  shall recover the Allocated Share of
Deposit for the terminated  Properties (subject to Purchaser's  obligation under
Section  3.5.2 to return all Third Party Reports and  information  and Materials
provided to  Purchaser  as a  pre-condition  to the return of the  Deposit)  and
Purchaser may recover, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its
right to receive a refund of the Allocated Share of the Deposit), its direct and
actual  out-of-pocket  expenses and costs  (documented by paid invoices to third
parties) in  connection  with the  Properties  for which this  Contract has been
terminated,  which damages shall not exceed $10,000 per terminated Property.  If
this Contract is terminated in whole or in part,  Purchaser agrees that it shall
promptly deliver to each Seller an assignment of all of Purchaser's right, title
and  interest  in and to  (together  with  possession  of) all  plans,  studies,
surveys,  reports, and other materials paid for with the out-of-pocket  expenses
reimbursed by Sellers pursuant to the foregoing sentence.  SELLERS AND PURCHASER
FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 10.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF
DAMAGES DUE  PURCHASER  AND THE REMEDIES  AVAILABLE TO  PURCHASER,  AND SHALL BE
PURCHASER'S  EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLERS, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY ARISING
FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY ANY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR
COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
CONTRACT.  UNDER NO  CIRCUMSTANCES  MAY PURCHASER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER
ANY SPECIAL,  CONSEQUENTIAL,  PUNITIVE,  SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF
WHICH PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLERS FOR ANY BREACH BY A SELLER, OF
ITS  REPRESENTATIONS,  WARRANTIES  OR  COVENANTS OR ITS  OBLIGATIONS  UNDER THIS
CONTRACT. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY
LIEN AGAINST ANY PROPERTY  UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS  IRREVOCABLY  ELECTED TO SEEK
SPECIFIC  PERFORMANCE  OF THIS  CONTRACT  AND HAS FILED AN ACTION  SEEKING  SUCH
REMEDY.

ARTICLE XI
                            RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

11.1 Major  Damage.  If a Property  is  damaged  or  destroyed  by fire or other
casualty prior to Closing,  and the cost of repair is more than  $300,000,  then
the  applicable  Seller  shall  have no  obligation  to  repair  such  damage or
destruction and shall notify  Purchaser in writing of such damage or destruction
(the "Damage Notice").  Within 10 days after  Purchaser's  receipt of the Damage
Notice,  Purchaser may elect at its option to give a Termination  Notice for the
damaged Property to Seller's Representative. If Seller's Representative receives
a Termination Notice,  Seller's Representative may, within 3 Business Days after
receiving the Termination  Notice,  give Purchaser a  Reinstatement  Notice that
Purchaser  either must purchase all of the Properties or terminate this Contract
for all of the  Properties.  Purchaser  shall,  within  3  Business  Days  after
receiving a Reinstatement Notice, give Seller's Representative notice of whether
it desires to purchase all of the  Properties or terminate  this Contract in its
entirety;  Purchaser's failure to provide Seller's Representative notice that it
desires to terminate this Contract in its entirety  shall be deemed  Purchaser's
decision to purchase all of the Properties.  If this Contract is not terminated,
this  transaction  shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract
for the full Purchase Price for the damaged  Property  notwithstanding  any such
damage or  destruction  and  Purchaser  shall  receive  all  insurance  proceeds
pertaining  thereto (plus a credit against the applicable  Purchase Price in the
amount  of  any  deductible  payable  by the  applicable  Seller  in  connection
therewith)  at Closing.  If this Contract is terminated in whole or in part from
such damage,  Purchaser shall recover the Allocated Share of the Deposit for the
terminated Properties (subject to Purchaser's  obligation under Section 3.5.2 to
return all Third  Party  Reports  and  information  and  Materials  provided  to
Purchaser as a pre-condition to a return of the Allocated Share of the Deposit).

11.2 Minor  Damage.  If a Property  is  damaged  or  destroyed  by fire or other
casualty  prior to the  Closing,  and the cost of repair is less than  $300,000,
this transaction  shall be closed in accordance with the terms of this Contract,
notwithstanding  the damage or destruction;  provided,  however,  the applicable
Seller  shall make such  repairs to the extent of any  recovery  from  insurance
carried on such Property if they can be reasonably  effected before the Closing.
Subject to  Section  11.3,  if the  applicable  Seller is unable to effect  such
repairs,  then Purchaser shall receive all insurance proceeds pertaining thereto
(plus a credit against the Purchase Price for the damaged Property in the amount
of any deductible  payable by the applicable Seller in connection  therewith) at
Closing.

11.3  Repairs.  To the  extent  that a Seller  elects to  commence  any  repair,
replacement or restoration of its damaged  Property prior to Closing,  then such
Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply  available  insurance  proceeds to
any portion of such repair,  replacement or  restoration  completed or installed
prior to Closing,  with  Purchaser  being  responsible  for  completion  of such
repair,  replacement  or  restoration  after  Closing  from the  balance  of any
available insurance proceeds.  The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive
the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

ARTICLE XII
                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

12.1 Eminent Domain. If, at the time of Closing, any material part of a Property
is (or  previously  has  been)  acquired,  or is  about to be  acquired,  by any
governmental  agency by the powers of eminent domain or transfer in lieu thereof
(or in the event that at such time  there is any notice of any such  acquisition
or intent to acquire by any such governmental agency),  Purchaser shall have the
right,  at  Purchaser's  option,  to  give  a  Termination  Notice  to  Seller's
Representative  for the  Property  for which there was such a  condemnation.  If
Seller's  Representative  receives a Termination Notice, Seller's Representative
may,  within 3 Business  Days  after  receiving  the  Termination  Notice,  give
Purchaser a Reinstatement  Notice that Purchaser either must purchase all of the
Properties  or  terminate  this  Contract for all of the  Properties.  Purchaser
shall,  within 3 Business  Days after  receiving a  Reinstatement  Notice,  give
Seller's  Representative written notice of whether it desires to purchase all of
the Properties or terminate this Contract in its entirety;  Purchaser's  failure
to  provide  Seller's  Representative  with  written  notice  that it desires to
terminate this Contract in its entirety shall be deemed Purchaser's  decision to
purchase  all of the  Properties.  If  this  Contract  is not  terminated,  this
transaction  shall be closed in  accordance  with the terms of this Contract for
the full Purchase  Price for the affected  Property and Purchaser  shall receive
the full benefit of any  condemnation  award. It is expressly agreed between the
parties hereto that this section shall in no way apply to customary  dedications
for public purposes which may be necessary for the development of a Property. If
this  Contract  is  terminated  in  whole  or in part  from  such  condemnation,
Purchaser  shall recover the Allocated  Share of the Deposit for the  terminated
Properties (subject to Purchaser's  obligation under Section 3.5.2 to return all
Third Party Reports and  information  and  Materials  provided to Purchaser as a
pre-condition to a return of the Allocated Share of the Deposit).

ARTICLE XIII......
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Binding Effect of Contract. This Contract shall not be binding on any party
until executed by both  Purchaser and Sellers.  As provided in Section 2.3.5 and
Section 9.3 above, neither the Escrow Agent's nor the Broker's execution of this
Contract shall be a prerequisite to its effectiveness.

13.2 Exhibits And Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules,  whether or not annexed
hereto, are a part of this Contract for all purposes.

13.3  Assignability.  This Contract is not assignable by Purchaser without first
obtaining the prior written approval of the Seller's Representative, except that
Purchaser  may  assign  its  rights  under  this  Contract  to each of the three
Properties  to one or more  entities so long as (a) Purchaser or its key members
are an affiliate,  subsidiary,  or majority owner of the purchasing entity(ies),
(b)  Purchaser is not  released  from its  liability  hereunder,  (c)  Purchaser
provides written notice to Seller's Representative of any proposed assignment no
later than 10 days prior to the Closing  Date,  and (d) Seller's  Representative

sent by overnight  courier or mail as aforesaid and is affirmatively  refused or
cannot be delivered during customary  business hours by reason of the absence of
a signatory  to  acknowledge  receipt,  or by reason of a change of address with
respect to which the addressor did not have either  knowledge or written  notice
delivered in accordance with this paragraph,  then the first attempted  delivery
shall be deemed to constitute  delivery.  Each party shall be entitled to change

representatives,   without   the  prior   written   authorization   of  Seller's

Purchaser  agrees that the covenants,  restrictions  and agreements of Purchaser

Effective  Date shall  survive the  execution of this  Contract and shall not be

13.20 No Personal  Liability  of  Officers,  Trustees or  Directors  of Seller's
Partners.  Purchaser agrees that none of any Seller's  Indemnified Parties shall
have any personal  liability  under this  Contract or any  document  executed in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract.

13.21 No  Exclusive  Negotiations.  Sellers  shall have the right,  at all times
prior to the expiration of the Feasibility  Period, to solicit backup offers and
enter into discussions,  negotiations, or any other communications concerning or
related to the sale of any Property  with any  third-party;  provided,  however,
that such  communications  are subject to the terms of this  Contract,  and that
Sellers shall not enter into any contract with a third-party for the sale of any
Property  unless such contract is contingent on the termination of this Contract
without the Property having been conveyed to Purchaser.

13.22 ADA Disclosure.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Properties may be subject
to the federal  Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and the federal Fair
Housing Act (the "FHA").  The ADA requires,  among other  matters,  that tenants
and/or  owners of "public  accommodations"  remove  barriers  in order to make a
property  accessible to disabled persons and provide auxiliary aids and services
for  hearing,  vision or speech  impaired  persons.  Sellers  make no  warranty,
representation  or guarantee of any type or kind with respect to any  Property's
compliance  with the ADA or the FHA (or any  similar  state or local  law),  and
Sellers expressly disclaim any such representation.

13.23 No  Recording.  Purchaser  shall not cause or allow this  Contract  or any
contract or other document related hereto,  nor any memorandum or other evidence
hereof,  to be recorded  or become a public  record  without  the prior  written
consent of Seller's  Representative,  which  consent may be withheld in the sole
discretion of Seller's Representative. If the Purchaser records this Contract or
any other memorandum or evidence  thereof,  Purchaser shall be in default of its
obligations  under  this  Contract.   Purchaser  hereby  appoints  the  Seller's
Representative  as  Purchaser's  attorney-in-fact  to  prepare  and  record  any
documents  necessary to effect the  nullification and release of the contract or
other memorandum or evidence  thereof from the public records.  This appointment
shall be coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

13.24 Relationship of Parties.  Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that
the  relationship  established  between the parties pursuant to this Contract is
only that of a seller and a purchaser of property. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers
is, nor shall either hold itself out to be, the agent, employee,  joint venturer
or partner of the other party.

13.25  Dispute  Resolution.  Any  controversy,  dispute,  or claim of any nature
arising  out of, in  connection  with,  or in  relation  to the  interpretation,
performance,  enforcement  or breach of this Contract (and any closing  document
executed in connection herewith), including any claim based on contract, tort or
statute,  shall be resolved at the written request of any party to this Contract
by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered in accordance with
the  then  current  Commercial  Arbitration  Rules of the  American  Arbitration
Association.  Any matter to be settled by arbitration  shall be submitted to the
American Arbitration  Association in the state in which the Property is located.
The  parties  shall  attempt  to  designate  one  arbitrator  from the  American
Arbitration  Association.  If they are  unable  to do so  within  30 days  after
written  demand  therefore,  then the  American  Arbitration  Association  shall
designate  an  arbitrator.  The  arbitration  shall be final  and  binding,  and
enforceable in any court of competent  jurisdiction.  The arbitrator shall award
attorneys'  fees  (including  those  of  in-house  counsel)  and  costs  to  the
substantially  prevailing  party and charge the cost of arbitration to the party
which is not the substantially prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary,  this Section 13.25 shall not prevent Purchaser or Sellers from
seeking and  obtaining  equitable  relief on a  temporary  or  permanent  basis,
including,  without limitation,  a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or
permanent  injunction  or similar  equitable  relief,  from a court of competent
jurisdiction located in the state in which the Property is located (to which all
parties hereto consent to venue and  jurisdiction) by instituting a legal action
or other  court  proceeding  in order to protect  or enforce  the rights of such
party under this Contract or to prevent irreparable harm and injury. The court's
jurisdiction over any such equitable matter, however, shall be expressly limited
only to the temporary,  preliminary,  or permanent  equitable relief sought; all
other claims  initiated under this Contract  between the parties hereto shall be
determined through final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Section
13.25.

13.26 AIMCO Marks. Purchaser agrees that Sellers, the Property Manager or AIMCO,
or their  respective  affiliates,  are the sole  owners of all right,  title and
interest  in and to the AIMCO  Marks (or have the right to use such AIMCO  Marks
pursuant to license  agreements with third parties) and that no right,  title or
interest in or to the AIMCO Marks is granted, transferred,  assigned or conveyed
as a result of this Contract.  Purchaser  further agrees that Purchaser will not
use the AIMCO Marks for any purpose.

13.27  Non-Solicitation  of Employees.  Purchaser  acknowledges and agrees that,
without the express  written  consent of Seller,  neither  Purchaser  nor any of
Purchaser's employees, affiliates or agents shall (a) prior to the expiration of
the  Feasibility  Period,  solicit any of Seller's  employees  or any  employees
located at the Property for potential  employment,  or (b) at any time,  solicit
any of Seller's  affiliates'  employees  located at any  property  owned by such
affiliates for potential employment.

13.28  Survival.  Except for (a) all of the provisions of this Article 13 (other
than Section  13.19 and 13.21),  and (b) any  provision of this  Contract  which
expressly  states that it shall so survive,  and (c) any payment  obligation  of
Purchaser under this Contract (the foregoing (a), (b) and (c) referred to herein
as the "Survival Provisions"), none of the terms and provisions of this Contract
shall survive the  termination of this Contract,  and, if the Contract is not so
terminated,  all of the terms and  provisions of this  Contract  (other than the
Survival  Provisions)  shall be merged into the Closing  documents and shall not
survive Closing.

13.29 Multiple Purchasers.  As used in this Contract, the term "Purchaser" means
all entities acquiring any interest in any Properties at the Closing, including,
without  limitation,  any  assignee(s)  of the  original  Purchaser  pursuant to
Section 13.3 of this Contract. In the event that "Purchaser" has any obligations
or makes any covenants,  representations or warranties under this Agreement, the
same shall be made  jointly  and  severally  by all  entities  being a Purchaser
hereunder.  In the event that a Seller  receives  notice from any entity being a
Purchaser  hereunder,  the same shall be deemed to  constitute  notice  from all
entities  being a  Purchaser  hereunder.  In the event that any  entity  being a
Purchaser hereunder takes any action,  breaches any obligation or otherwise acts
pursuant  to the  terms of this  Contract,  the same  shall be  deemed to be the
action of the other  entity(ies)  being a Purchaser  hereunder and the action of
"Purchaser"  under  this  Contract.  In the  event  that a  Seller  or  Seller's
Representative  is  required  to give  notice or take  action  with  respect  to
Purchaser under this Contract,  notice to any entity being a Purchaser hereunder
or action  with  respect to any entity  being a Purchaser  hereunder  shall be a
notice or action to all entities being a Purchaser hereunder.  In the event that
any entity being a Purchaser hereunder desires to bring an action or arbitration
against a Seller,  such action must be joined by all entities  being a Purchaser
hereunder in order to be effective.  In the event that there is any agreement by
a Seller to pay any amount  pursuant  to this  Contract to  Purchaser  under any
circumstance,  that amount  shall be deemed the maximum  aggregate  amount to be
paid to all parties  being a Purchaser  hereunder  and not an amount that can be
paid to each party  being a Purchaser  hereunder.  In the event that a Seller is
required to return the Initial  Deposit,  Additional  Deposit or other amount to
Purchaser,  such Seller  shall  return the same to any entity  being a Purchaser
hereunder  and, upon such return,  shall have no further  liability to any other
entity being a Purchaser  hereunder for such amount.  The  foregoing  provisions
also shall apply to any documents,  including,  without limitation,  the General
Assignment  and  Assumption  and the  Assignment  and  Assumption  of Leases and
Security   Deposits,   executed  in  connection   with  this  Contract  and  the
transaction(s) contemplated hereby.

13.30 Sellers' Several Obligations.  Purchaser agrees that,  notwithstanding any
other  provision  of  this  Contract  to  the  contrary,   the  representations,
warranties,  obligations,  and  covenants  of each  Seller  are  individual  and
several,  and not joint and  several,  and that each Seller is  responsible  and
liable  only  for its own  Property  and  its own  representations,  warranties,
obligations,  and covenants.  Purchaser  agrees that it shall look solely to the
applicable  Seller for any amount due hereunder or,  obligation  owed hereunder,
and further  waives any and all claims  against any other party or Property  for
payment or performance of the same,  including,  without  limitation,  any other
Seller  or  AIMCO,  or any  partner,  member,  manager,  shareholder,  director,
officer, employee, affiliate, representative or agent of any Seller or AIMCO.

13.31  Obligation to Close on all  Properties.  Except as expressly set forth in
this  Contract,  Purchaser's  obligation  to  purchase  the  Properties  is  not
severable and Purchaser must purchase all of the Properties.  Similarly,  except
as expressly stated this Contract,  Sellers'  obligations to sell the Properties
are not severable and Sellers must sell all of the Properties to Purchaser.

14.1 Disclosure.  Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledge  delivery of the Lead
Based Paint  Disclosure  attached as Exhibit H hereto.  The  provisions  of this
Section 14.1 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

14.2  Consent Agreement - Pre-1978 - Not Certified.  Intentionally Deleted.

14.3 Consent Agreement - Pre-1978 Certified. The provisions of this Section 14.3
apply to those  Properties  identified  on the Seller  Information  Schedule  as
"Pre-1978-Certified."  Testing has been performed at each Property identified as
"Pre-1978,  Certified" with respect to lead-based  paint.  The "LPB  Consultant"
identified on the Seller  Information  Schedule prepared the Report with respect
to the Property  identified  therein.  A copy of each report will be provided to
Purchaser with the Materials.  Each Report certifies the respective  Property as
lead based paint free. By execution hereof,  Purchaser acknowledges receipt of a
copy of the Reports,  the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure  Statement attached hereto
as Exhibit H, and acknowledges receipt of the Consent Agreement by and among the
United States Environmental  Protection Agency (executed December 19, 2001), the
United States Department of Housing and Urban  Development  (executed January 2,
2002), and AIMCO (executed December 18, 2001) (the "Consent Agreement"). Because
the  applicable  Property  has been  certified  as lead based  paint  free,  the
applicable  Seller is not required  under the Consent  Agreement to remediate or
abate any  lead-based  paint  condition  at its  Property  prior to the Closing.
Purchaser  acknowledges  and agrees that (1) after  Closing,  Purchaser  and the
applicable Property shall be subject to the Consent Agreement and the provisions
contained  herein related  thereto and (2) Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a
third party beneficiary to the Consent Agreement. The provisions of this Section
14.3 shall survive the  termination of this Contract,  and if not so terminated,
the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.

14.4 Consent Agreement - Pre-1978-LBP, But No LBP Hazards The provisions of this
Section  14.4 apply to those  Properties  identified  on the Seller  Information
Schedule as "Pre-1978,  Lead-Based Paint Present, No Lead-Based Hazard." Testing

The "LBP Consultant"  identified on the Seller Information Schedule prepared the
Report with respect to the  Property  identified  therein.  A copy of the Report
with respect to the Property will provided to Purchaser with the Materials.  The
Report certifies the applicable Property as free of (a) lead based hazards,  (b)
dust lead  hazards and (c) soil lead  hazards.  By execution  hereof,  Purchaser
acknowledges  receipt of a copy of the Report,  the Lead-Based  Paint Disclosure
Statement attached hereto as Exhibit H, and the Consent  Agreement.  Because the
applicable  Property has been certified as free of (x) lead based  hazards,  (y)
dust  lead  hazards  and (z) soil lead  hazards,  the  applicable  Seller is not
required under the Consent  Agreement to remediate or abate any lead-based paint
condition at such  Property  prior to the Closing.  Purchaser  acknowledges  and
agrees that (1) after Closing,  the Purchaser and the applicable  Property shall
be subject to the Consent Agreement and the provisions  contained herein related
thereto and (2) Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party beneficiary to
the Consent  Agreement.  The  provisions  of this Section 14.4 shall survive the
termination of this Contract, and if not so terminated, the Closing and delivery
of the Deeds to Purchaser.
