Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Shelter  Properties  V (the  "Registrant")  owns a 99.99%  interest  in  Foxfire
Apartments V Limited Partnership (the  "Partnership"),  a South Carolina limited
partnership.  On August 1, 2005, the Partnership  sold its investment  property,
Foxfire  Apartments,  a 266-unit  apartment complex located in Atlanta,  Georgia
(the "Property"), to a third party, The Bethany Group, LLC (the "Purchaser"),  a
California  limited  liability  company.  The  Purchaser  purchased the property
collectively   with  six  other  apartment   complexes   affiliated  with  AIMCO
Properties,  L.P., an affiliate of the general partner of the Partnership, for a
total  sales  price  of  approximately   $85,236,000,   of  which  approximately
$9,725,000  represents  the sales price for Foxfire  Apartments.  The Registrant
continues to own and operate five additional properties.

In accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Registrant,  the  Registrant's  Corporate  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.

2.3   Escrow Provisions Regarding Deposit.

2.3.1  Escrow  Agent shall hold the Deposit and make  delivery of the Deposit to
the party entitled thereto under the terms of this Contract.  Escrow Agent shall
invest the Deposit in such short-term,  high-grade securities,  interest-bearing
bank accounts,  money market funds or accounts,  bank certificates of deposit or
bank repurchase  contracts as Escrow Agent,  in its discretion,  deems suitable,
subject to Purchaser's  written  consent or  ratification,  and all interest and
income  thereon  shall  become  part of the Deposit and shall be remitted to the
party entitled to the Deposit pursuant to this Contract.

2.3.2 Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit  until the earlier  occurrence  of (i)
the  Closing  Date,  at which  time the  Deposit  shall be applied  against  the
Purchase Price for each  Property,  or (ii) the date on which Escrow Agent shall
be  authorized  to disburse the Deposit as set forth in Section  2.3.3.  The tax
identification  numbers of the parties  shall be  furnished to Escrow Agent upon
request.

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.  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,  in  the  event  of  a
disagreement  among the  parties as to the proper  disposition  of the  Deposit,
Escrow  Agent  shall  have the right at any time to deposit  the  portion of the
Deposit  in issue,  and  interest  thereon,  if any,  with a court of  competent
jurisdiction in the state or commonwealth in which a Property is located. Escrow
Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller's  Representative  and
Purchaser.  Upon such deposit,  Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of
all further  obligations and  responsibilities  hereunder (other than those that
accrued prior to such deposit).  Sellers hereby appoint Seller's  Representative
to give and receive notices to Escrow Agent regarding the Deposit.

2.3.4  The  parties  acknowledge  that  Escrow  Agent  is  acting  solely  as  a
stakeholder at their request and for their convenience,  that Escrow Agent shall
not be deemed to be the agent of any of the  parties  for any act or omission on
its part  unless  taken or suffered  in bad faith in willful  disregard  of this
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  attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the performance of Escrow Agent's duties hereunder,  except with
respect to actions or omissions  taken or suffered by Escrow Agent in bad faith,
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.

2.3.6 Escrow Agent, as the person responsible for closing the transaction within
the meaning of Section  6045(e)(2)(A)  of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"),  shall file all necessary information,  reports,  returns,
and statements regarding the transaction required by the Code including, but not
limited  to, the tax  reports  required  pursuant  to Section  6045 of the Code.
Further, Escrow Agent agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser, Sellers, and their
respective  attorneys and brokers harmless from and against any Losses resulting
from Escrow Agent's failure to file the reports Escrow Agent is required to file
pursuant to this section.

2.3.7 If Purchaser becomes entitled, under any provision of this Agreement, to a
return of all, or any portion, of the Deposit, Escrow Agent is hereby instructed
to withhold  from the amount of the Deposit to be returned to Purchaser  the sum
of $100,000 (the "Materials  Security Deposit") and to withhold such amount from
Purchaser  until such time as Purchaser has fully complied with its  obligations
under Section 3.5.2 to deliver to the applicable Seller all Third-Party  Reports
and also all  information  and  Materials  provided to  Purchaser by such Seller
pursuant to this Contract.  The  satisfaction of Purchaser's  obligations  under

by the  applicable  Seller upon request by Purchaser  made at any time after the
performance of Purchaser's  obligations,  which signature shall not unreasonably
be withheld, conditioned or delayed.

expense, to enter onto the Properties:

referred to in Section 3.1 appear  unsatisfactory to Purchaser for any reason or
if Purchaser  elects not to proceed with the  transaction  contemplated  by this
Contract for any other reason, or for no reason whatsoever,  in Purchaser's sole
and absolute  discretion,  then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this
Contract in its entirety  with respect to all  Properties  (but not in part with
respect to less than all  Properties) by giving written notice to that effect to
Seller's  Representative  and Escrow  Agent on or before 5:00 p.m.  (in the time
zone in which the Escrow  Agent is  located)  on the date of  expiration  of the
Feasibility  Period.  If  Purchaser  exercises  such  right to  terminate,  this
Contract  shall  terminate and be of no further force and effect  subject to and
except for the Survival Provisions,  and Escrow Agent shall forthwith return the
Initial  Deposit  to  Purchaser.   If  Purchaser   fails  to  provide   Seller's
Representative with written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the
Feasibility  Period in strict  accordance  with the  notice  provisions  of this
Contract,  Purchaser's  right to  terminate  under  this  Section  3.2  shall be
permanently  waived and this Contract shall remain in full force and effect, the
Deposit  (including  both the Initial  Deposit and, when delivered in accordance
with  Section  2.2.2,  the  Additional  Deposit)  shall be  non-refundable,  and
Purchaser's  obligation to purchase the Properties as set forth in this Contract
shall be non-contingent  and  unconditional  except only for satisfaction of the
conditions expressly stated in Section 8.1.

3.3  Conduct of  Investigation.  Purchaser  shall not permit any  mechanic's  or
materialmen's  liens or any other  liens to attach to any  Property by reason of
the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any
other party in connection  with any  Inspections  conducted by or for Purchaser.
Purchaser  shall give written notice to the  applicable  Seller not less than 24
hours prior to entry onto its  Property  and shall  permit such Seller to have a
representative  present during all  Inspections  conducted at its Property.  All
information made 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 permit third parties  engaged by Purchaser to
analyze and investigate  such  information  for the purpose of consummating  the
transaction  contemplated  by this Contract.  The provisions of this Section 3.3
shall survive the termination of this Contract,  and if not so terminated  shall
survive  (except for the  confidentiality  provisions  of this  Section 3.3) the
Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

directors, trustees, shareholders,  counsel,  representatives,  agents, Property
Manager,  Regional Property  Manager,  and AIMCO  (collectively,  including such
Seller,  "Seller's Indemnified Parties"),  from and against any and all damages,
mechanics' liens, liabilities,  penalties,  interest,  losses, demands, actions,
causes of action,  claims, costs and expenses (including  reasonable  attorneys'
fees,  including  the  cost of  in-house  counsel  and  appeals)  (collectively,

Purchaser  with  respect  to such  Property  during  the  Feasibility  Period or
otherwise.

3.4.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall
not be permitted to perform any invasive  tests on a Property  without the prior
written  consent of Seller's  Representative,  which  consent may be withheld in
Seller's  Representative's  sole discretion.  Further,  Seller's  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;  provided,  however,  each Seller hereby  expressly
consents to  Purchaser's  performance  of a Phase I  environmental  study of the
applicable  Property (to be conducted by an  environmental  engineer  reasonably
acceptable to Seller's Representative) and an ACM (asbestos containing material)
study (to be conducted by an  environmental  engineer  reasonably  acceptable to
Seller's  Representative)  in  connection  therewith,  but  only  to the  extent
customarily  performed in connection  with a Phase I environmental  study;  and,
provided,  further,  however,  if the Phase I for any Property  concludes that a
Phase II is recommended,  but the applicable Seller refuses  permission for such
Phase  II (in  such  Seller's  sole  and  absolute  discretion),  Purchaser  may
terminate this Agreement  pursuant to Section 3.2 prior to the expiration of the
Feasibility  Period.  Purchaser shall use best efforts to minimize disruption to
Tenants in connection with Purchaser's or its Consultants'  activities  pursuant
to this  Section.  No consent by Seller's  Representative  to any such  activity
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the applicable Seller or assumption of
liability  or risk by such  Seller.  Purchaser  hereby  agrees  to  restore,  at
Purchaser's  sole cost and  expense,  each  Property  substantially  to the same
condition  existing  immediately  prior to  Purchaser's  exercise  of its rights
pursuant to this Article 3.  Purchaser  shall maintain and cause its third party
consultants  to  maintain  (a)  casualty  insurance  and  comprehensive   public
liability  insurance with coverages of not less than $1,000,000.00 for injury or
death to any one person and  $3,000,000.00  for injury or death to more than one
person and $1,000,000.00 with respect to property damage, by water or otherwise,

Properties are located.  Purchaser shall deliver proof of the insurance coverage
required pursuant to this Section 3.4.2 to Sellers (in the form of a certificate
of insurance) prior to Purchaser's or Purchaser's Consultants' entry onto any of
the Properties.

3.4.3 The  provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive the  termination of this
Contract,  and if not so  terminated,  the Closing and  delivery of the Deeds to
Purchaser.

3.5   Property Materials.

3.5.1 Within 5 days after the Effective  Date,  and to the extent the same exist
and are in a Seller's  possession  or  reasonable  control  (subject  to Section
3.5.2),  each Seller agrees to make the documents set forth on Schedule 3.5 (the
"Materials")  relating to its Property  available at its Property for review and
copying by Purchaser at Purchaser's  sole cost and expense.  In the alternative,
at a Seller's  option and within the  foregoing  5-day  period,  such Seller may
deliver some or all of its Materials to Purchaser, or make the same available to
Purchaser on a secure web site  (Purchaser  agrees that any item to be delivered
by a  Seller  under  this  Contract  shall be  deemed  delivered  to the  extent
available to Purchaser on such secured web site).  To the extent that  Purchaser
determines  that any of the Materials  have not been made available or delivered
to  Purchaser  pursuant  to this  Section  3.5.1,  Purchaser  shall  notify  the
applicable Seller and such Seller shall use commercially  reasonable  efforts to
deliver the same to Purchaser within 5 Business Days after such  notification is
received by such Seller; provided, however, that under no circumstances will the
Feasibility  Period be extended and Purchaser's sole remedy will be to terminate
this Contract pursuant to Section 3.2.

3.5.2 In providing  such  information  and  Materials to  Purchaser,  other than
Seller's  Representations,  each Seller  makes no  representation  or  warranty,
express,  written, oral, statutory, or implied, and all such representations and
warranties are hereby  expressly  excluded and  disclaimed.  Any information and
Materials  provided by any of the Sellers to  Purchaser  under the terms of this
Contract is for  informational  purposes only and, together with all Third-Party
Reports, shall be returned by Purchaser to all applicable Sellers as a condition
to return of the  Materials  Security  Deposit to  Purchaser  (if  Purchaser  is
otherwise  entitled to such Materials  Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of
this  Contract) if this Contract is terminated for any reason.  Purchaser  shall
not in any way be entitled to rely upon the  accuracy  of such  information  and
Materials.  Purchaser  recognizes  and  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,  and other than
Seller's  Representations,  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 In addition to the items set forth on Schedule  3.5, no later than 15 days
after the Effective  Date, the applicable  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or
otherwise  make  available to Purchaser as provided  under Section 3.5.1) a rent
roll for its Property listing the move-in date, monthly base rent payable, lease
expiration date and unapplied security deposit for each Lease (the "Rent Roll").
The Rent  Roll  shall  be part of the  Materials  for all  purposes  under  this
Contract and Sellers make no  representations  or warranties  regarding the Rent
Roll other than the  express  representation  set forth in  Section  6.1.9.  The
applicable Seller shall update the Rent Roll in accordance with Section 5.2.14.

3.5.4 The  provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing and delivery
of the Deeds 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.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                      TITLE

4.1 Title  Documents.  Within 10 calendar  days after the Effective  Date,  each
Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser a standard form  commitment  for
title insurance  ("Title  Commitment")  for such Seller's  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 (together with the Title Commitment, referred to herein as
the "Title Documents"). Each Seller of a Property located in California, Georgia
and Virginia shall be responsible  only for payment of the basic premium for the
Title Policy for its Property located in such states.  Purchaser shall be solely
responsible  for payment of all other costs  relating to  procurement of a Title
Commitment, Title Policy, and any requested endorsements with respect to each of
the Properties, including for "extended" coverage, and further including for the
entire Title Policy for any Property located in North Carolina.

4.2 Survey.  Within 5 calendar days after the Effective  Date, each Seller shall
deliver to Purchaser or make  available at such  Seller's  Property any existing
survey of such Property (the "Existing Survey") which to such Seller's knowledge
is in such Seller's possession or reasonable control (subject to Section 3.5.2).
Purchaser  acknowledges  and agrees  that  delivery  of the  Existing  Survey is
subject to Section 3.5.2. In addition,  by May 25, 2005 (or such greater time as
may  reasonably be required)  after the Effective  Date,  each Seller also shall
deliver to Purchaser an update (or new) survey (such new or updated survey being
the "Survey") of each Property;  provided,  however,  the applicable  Seller and
Purchaser  shall split  equally the cost and expense of the  preparation  of the
Survey whether the transactions  contemplated  hereby close or this Agreement is
terminated.  The  provisions  of this Section 4.2 shall  survive  Closing or the
termination of this Agreement.

4.3   Objection and Response Process.

.............(a)  On or  before  the later of June 3,  2005,  or the date that is
10-days after the Purchaser receives the Survey for the applicable Property, but
in no event later than June 8, 2005 (the "Objection Deadline"), Purchaser shall,
with respect to each Property,  give written notice (the "Objection  Notice") to
the  attorneys  for  Sellers of any matter set forth in any Title  Documents  or
Survey to which  Purchaser  objects (the  "Objections").  If Purchaser  fails to
tender  an  Objection  Notice  with  respect  to a  Property  on or  before  its
applicable  Objection  Deadline,  Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and
irrevocably  waived any objections to any matters covered by the Title Documents
and the  Survey  for such  Property.  On or before 7 days  after  receipt  of an
Objection  Notice (the  "Response  Deadline"),  the Seller who has received such
Objection  Notice may, in such Seller's sole  discretion,  give Purchaser notice
(the  "Response  Notice")  of those  Objections  which such Seller is willing to
cure,  if any.  Sellers  shall be entitled  to  reasonable  adjournments  of the
Closing  Date (but not in excess of 30-days in total) for the  purpose of curing
such  Objections.  If a Seller fails to deliver a Response Notice for a Property
by such  Property's  Response  Deadline,  such  Seller  shall be  deemed to have
elected not to cure or otherwise  resolve any matter set forth in the  Objection
Notice for such Property. If Purchaser is dissatisfied with any 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 (i) to accept the Title  Documents and
Survey 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
(ii) to terminate this Contract in its entirety  regarding all  Properties  (but
not less than all  Properties),  in which  event the  Initial  Deposit  shall be
returned to  Purchaser.  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 Title  Documents  or the  Survey  applicable  to each  Property,
subject  only to  resolution,  if any,  of the  Objections  as set  forth in the
Response Notice for such Property (or if no Response Notice is tendered, without
any resolution of the Objections).

.............  (b) If any Title  Commitment  for any  Property is re-issued on or
after the  expiration of the  Feasibility  Period and  discloses any  additional
title matters not shown on the original Title  Commitment  that are material and
adverse to the ownership or operation of such  Property,  then  Purchaser  shall
have the lesser of 5 days after the receipt of such updated Title  Commitment or
the Closing Date to object to such title matters (if  Purchaser  does not object
within such  period,  the new  matters  shall be deemed  "Permitted  Exceptions"
hereunder).  The  applicable  Seller then shall have 5 days after the receipt of
such objections to provide a Response Notice (if at all) as set forth in Section
4.3(a) (Seller's  failure to provide a Response Notice shall be deemed a refusal
to cure). If such Seller has refused (or is deemed to have refused) to cure such
title  matters  (which  cure may  include,  if  selected  by such Seller in such
Seller's sole discretion,  by title endorsement),  then Purchaser shall have the
rights set forth in the second to last sentence of Section 4.3(a),  which rights
of  termination  shall be exercised  (if at all) within 5 days after  receipt of
Seller's  Response Notice for such new title objections (or the Closing Date, if
earlier). (The updated Title Commitment shall be part of the Title Documents for
all purposes under this Contract.)

4.4 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":

4.4.1 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 4.3, (b) the standard
exception  regarding the rights of parties in  possession,  and (c) 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;

4.4.2 All Leases for such Property;

4.4.3 [intentionally deleted];

4.4.4 Applicable zoning and governmental regulations and ordinances;

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

4.4.6 [intentionally deleted].

4.5 Existing  Deed of Trust.  It is understood  and agreed that,  whether or not
Purchaser  gives an Objection  Notice with respect  thereto for a Property,  any
deeds of trust and/or  mortgages which secure a Note  (collectively,  a "Deed of
Trust") shall not be deemed  Permitted  Exceptions  for such  Property,  whether
Purchaser  gives further  written notice of such or not, and shall,  pursuant to
Section 5.4.7, be paid off, satisfied,  discharged and/or cured from proceeds of
the Purchase Price at Closing, provided that the Lender's Fees due in connection
with such Loan Payoff shall be paid by Purchaser.  It is further  understood and
agreed that,  provided that Purchaser  provides prompt notice to Seller, any tax
lien for delinquent property taxes,  mechanic's liens for work authorized by the
applicable  Seller and judgment liens against the applicable Seller shall not be
deemed a  Permitted  Exception,  and  shall be paid off,  satisfied,  discharged
and/or cured by the applicable Seller at or before Closing.

4.6   [intentionally deleted].

4.7   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.

                                     ARTICLE V
                                     CLOSING

5.1 Closing Date. The Closing shall occur on June 30, 2005 (the "Closing  Date")
through an escrow with Escrow  Agent,  whereby the Sellers,  Purchaser and their
attorneys  need  not be  physically  present  at the  Closing  and  may  deliver
documents by overnight air courier or other means. Notwithstanding the foregoing
to the contrary,  any Seller shall have the option, by delivering written notice
to  Purchaser,  to extend the Closing Date to the last Business Day of the month
in which the  Closing  Date  otherwise  would occur  pursuant  to the  preceding
sentence,  or to such other date  (either in the same month or the next) as such
Seller reasonably determines is desirable in connection with any Loan Payoff and
the exercise of such option  shall  extend the Closing Date for all  Properties.
Further,  the Closing Date may be extended  without penalty at the option of any
Seller  either (i) to a date not later than 30 days  following  the Closing Date
specified in the first sentence of this paragraph  above (or, if applicable,  as
extended by any Seller  pursuant to the second  sentence of this  paragraph)  to
satisfy a  condition  set forth in Section  8.2,  and (ii) such later date as is
mutually acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser.  Provided that Purchaser is not in
default under the terms of this Contract or Related Contract, Purchaser shall be
permitted  the right to extend the Closing Date for all  Properties  (the "First
Extension Right") to July 29, 2005, by (i) delivering  written notice to Sellers
no later than 15 days prior to the scheduled  Closing Date, (ii)  simultaneously
with  such  notice  to  Sellers,  delivering  to  Escrow  Agent  the  amount  of
$969,192.00,  which  amount when  received by Escrow Agent shall be added to the
Deposit  hereunder,  shall be  non-refundable  (except  as  otherwise  expressly
provided  herein with respect to the Deposit),  and shall be held,  credited and
disbursed in the same manner as provided  hereunder with respect to the Deposit,
and  (iii)  unless  waived  by  Sellers  in  their  sole  discretion,  Purchaser
simultaneously  must exercise the similar "First  Extension  Right" set forth in
the Related Contract.  Further,  provided that Purchaser has exercised the First
Extension Right and is not in default of this Contract or the Related  Contract,
Purchaser  shall be  permitted a second right to extend the Closing Date for all
Properties to August 16, 2005, by (X)  delivering  written  notice to Sellers no
later  than July 15,  2005,  (Y)  simultaneously  with such  notice to  Sellers,
delivering to Escrow Agent the amount of $646,128.00, which amount when received
by Escrow Agent shall be added to the Deposit hereunder, shall be non-refundable
(except as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to the Deposit), and
shall be held,  credited and disbursed in the same manner as provided  hereunder
with  respect to the  Deposit,  and (Z)  unless  waived by Sellers in their sole
discretion, Purchaser simultaneously must exercise the similar "second extension
right" set forth in the Related Contract.

5.4 Closing Prorations and Adjustments. The prorations set forth in this Section
5.4  shall  be on a  Property-by-Property  basis  and  not  among,  or  between,
Properties, and shall not be allocated on an Applicable Share basis.

5.4.1  General.  With  respect to each  Property,  all  normal  and  customarily
proratable items,  including,  without  limitation,  collected rents,  operating
expenses,  personal property taxes,  other operating expenses and fees, shall be
prorated  as of the  Closing  Date,  the  applicable  Seller  being  charged  or
credited,  as appropriate,  for all of the same attributable to the period up to
the Closing Date (and  credited for any amounts  paid by the  applicable  Seller
attributable  to the  period  on or  after  the  Closing  Date,  if  assumed  by
Purchaser) and Purchaser being responsible for, and credited or charged,  as the
case may be,  for all of the same  attributable  to the  period on and after the
Closing  Date.  Each Seller shall prepare a proration  schedule (the  "Proration
Schedule")  of the  adjustments  described in this Section 5.4 prior to Closing.
Such  adjustments  shall be paid by Purchaser to the  applicable  Seller (if the
prorations result in a net credit to such Seller) or by such Seller to Purchaser
(if the prorations  result in a net credit to Purchaser for such  Property),  by
increasing  or  reducing  the cash to be paid by  Purchaser  at Closing for such
Property.

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.

            (a) 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,
except, in the case of Property located in California,  regarding  supplemental,
corrective or amendatory real estate tax assessments or billings  received after
the  Closing  applicable  to any  period  during  a  Seller's  ownership  of its
Property,  as described in the remainder of this Section 5.4.4.  With respect to
Property  located in  California,  if (i) the Title Insurer will not issue title
insurance for real  property  taxes and  assessments  for the time period before
Closing for which taxes and assessments were due and payable on the Closing Date
and (ii) the law in the state of  California  permits a  governmental  agency to
supplement,  correct or amend taxes and assessments and collect them from a bona
fide  purchaser,  the  applicable  Seller  shall be  liable  for such  taxes and
assessments  if  Purchaser  provides  such Seller  notice of such  supplemental,
corrective or amendatory real estate taxes.  With respect to Property located in
California,  a Seller's  liability  under this  subsection  for such real estate
taxes shall survive for 3 years and such Seller shall have no liability for such
taxes  after 3 years.  A Seller  shall have the right to contest  the amount and
validity of such real estate taxes.

      (b) ..Purchaser  acknowledges  that certain of the Sellers,  including the
Sellers of Foxfire,  Park Colony and Walden, have filed (or will file) an appeal
(the "Appeal") with respect to real estate ad valorem or other similar  property
taxes applicable to the Property (the "Property Taxes").

.............(i)  If such Appeal relates to any Tax Year prior to the Tax Year in
which the Closing occurs,  such Seller shall be entitled,  in such Seller's sole
discretion,  to continue to pursue such Appeal after the Closing  Date,  and, in
the event that the Appeal is successful in reducing the amount of Property Taxes
payable with  respect to any such prior Tax Year,  such Seller shall be entitled
to the full amount of any rebate, refund or reduction (collectively, a "Refund")
resulting  from the Appeal.  Such Seller  shall not be  obligated to continue to
pursue any Appeal with respect to its Property,  including,  without limitation,
any  Appeal  that  relates  to a Tax Year  during or after the Tax Year in which
Closing occurs.  If Purchaser  receives any refund of Property Taxes for a prior
Tax Year, Purchaser promptly shall remit the same to the applicable Seller.

                  (ii) If such Appeal  relates to the Tax Year in which  Closing
occurs, then, prior to the Closing, the applicable Seller shall notify Purchaser
whether such Seller desires to continue to process the Appeal from and after the
Closing  Date.  If such  Seller  fails to notify  Purchaser  of its  election to
continue the Appeal,  such Seller will be deemed to have elected not to continue
the  Appeal  from and after  the  Closing  Date and the  provisions  of  Section
5.4.4(b)(i)(II) shall apply.

                        (I) If a Seller  elects to continue  the  Appeal,  then,
         from and  after the  Closing  Date,  such  Seller  agrees  that it will
         continue, at such Seller's sole cost and expense, to reasonably process
         the  Appeal  to  conclusion  with  the  applicable   taxing   authority
         (including  any further  appeals which such Seller deems  reasonable to
         pursue).  In the event that the Appeal is  successful  in reducing  the
         amount of Property  Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Year in which
         Closing  occurs,  then Purchaser and such Seller shall share any Refund
         on a pro rata basis (in  accordance  with the number of days in the Tax
         Year of  Closing  that each held  title to the  Property)  after  first
         reimbursing  such  Seller for its  actual,  reasonable  and  documented
         third-party costs  (collectively,  the "Third-Party Costs") incurred in
         connection  with the Appeal.  If Third-Party  Costs equal or exceed the
         amount of the Award,  then Seller  shall be entitled to the full amount
         of the Award.

                        (II) If a Seller does not elect to continue  the Appeal,
         then,  from and after the Closing Date,  Purchaser  may, in Purchaser's
         discretion, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, to reasonably process
         the  Appeal  to  conclusion  with  the  applicable   taxing   authority
         (including  any further  appeals which  Purchaser  deems  reasonable to
         pursue).  In the event that the Appeal is  successful  in reducing  the
         amount of Property  Taxes payable with respect to the Tax Year in which
         Closing  occurs,  then Purchaser and the applicable  Seller shall share
         any Refund on a pro rata basis (in  accordance  with the number of days
         in the Tax Year of Closing that each held title to the Property)  after
         first reimbursing each of Purchaser and the applicable Seller for their
         respective Third-Party Costs incurred in connection with the Appeal. If
         Third-Party  Costs  equal or exceed the  amount of the Award,  then the
         Award shall be applied to such  Third-Party  Costs on a pro rata basis,
         with each of Purchaser and such Seller receiving a portion of the Award
         equal to the product of (i) a fraction,  the  numerator of which is the
         respective  party's  Third-Party Costs, and the denominator of which is
         the total of both parties'  Third-Party  Costs,  and (ii) the amount of
         the Award.

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,  after  first
applying  collected  rents to the  payment of all current  obligations  owing to
Purchaser under the applicable  Lease, and only then to Uncollected Rents due to
the applicable  Seller.  Purchaser  agrees to bill Tenants of the Properties for
all Uncollected Rents and to take reasonable  actions (not including lawsuits or
formal proceedings) 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,  file any formal actions or  proceedings,  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
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 Loans.  Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser had the opportunity
to assume  each Note or to cause  prepayment  of such  Note at  Closing  (but in
either  event,  Purchaser  would pay the Lender Fees  pursuant to Section  2.2).
Purchaser has elected to cause the debt to be prepaid. Therefore, on the Closing
Date, a sufficient  amount of the proceeds of the Purchase Price will be used to
pay the outstanding  principal  balance of the applicable Note together with all
interest  accrued under such Note prior to the Closing Date (the "Loan Payoff"),
and Purchaser  shall pay all Lender Fees (subject to reduction from the Purchase
Price in accordance with Section 2.2). Any existing reserves, impounds and other
accounts  maintained in connection with the Loan shall be released in Good Funds
to the applicable  Seller unless credited by Lender against the amount due under
the Note.

5.4.8 [intentionally deleted]

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.

receipts or similar taxes, 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.  Purchaser shall be
solely  responsible  for  the  payment  of the  premium  for its  Title  Policy.

closing costs of the Escrow Agent.

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.

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
(including  Tenant's master keys),  access codes and other passwords,  plans and
specifications for the Improvements 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  and
delivered to Purchaser at such Property after the Closing. Purchaser agrees, for
a period of not less than 3 years 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

Closing and delivery of the Deeds 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,  and (b) 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 or  commonwealth  of its formation set forth on the Seller
Information Schedule; and, subject to Section 8.2.4, has or at the Closing shall

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.  Subject to Section 8.2.4,  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 (a) as set forth on the Seller  Information  Schedule,  (b) for any
actions by such  Seller to evict  Tenants  under its  Leases,  or (c) any matter
covered by Seller's current insurance  policy(ies),  to such Seller's knowledge,
there  are  no  actions,  proceedings,   litigation  (including  bankruptcy)  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 To the applicable Seller's knowledge:  (a) no hazardous or toxic materials
or other substances  regulated by applicable federal or state environmental laws
are  stored by such  Seller on, in or under its  Property  in  quantities  which
violate  applicable  laws  governing  such  materials  or  substances,  (b) such
Seller's  Property  is not  used by such  Seller  for  the  storage,  treatment,
generation  or  manufacture  of  any  hazardous  or  toxic  materials  or  other
substances in a manner which would constitute a violation of applicable  federal
or state  environmental  laws,  (c) such Seller has not received,  within 1 year
prior to the  Effective  Date,  written  notice of water  damage at its Property
resulting in suspected  fungal growth that has not been  remediated  pursuant to
such Seller's normal operating procedures, and (d) such Seller has not, within 1
year  prior to the  Effective  Date,  received  written  notice  of a  hazardous
substance  condition  at  its  Property  or  received  a  written  order  from a
governmental   authority  regarding  a  hazardous  substance  condition  at  its
Property.

6.1.8 The applicable  Seller has not  intentionally  misstated or misrepresented
any information prepared by it and contained in the Materials delivered pursuant
to Section 3.5.1.

6.1.9 To the applicable Seller's knowledge, the factual documentation of current
operating  and  financial  results  prepared by the  applicable  Seller (but not
Seller Third-Party  Reports) concerning the applicable Property and disclosed to
Purchaser  hereunder  has been  prepared  in such  Seller's  ordinary  course of
business and is substantially  identical with the information  relied on by such
Seller in the current  ownership,  operation  and  reporting  of the  applicable
Property by such Seller;  provided,  however,  Seller has not  provided,  and is
under no  obligation  to  provide,  internal  evaluations  or  similar  internal
analysis (as compared with the results themselves).

6.1.10......At  the  present  time and at the Closing  AIMCO  will,  directly or
indirectly, own more than 50% of the voting interests in each Seller.

6.1.11......To  the knowledge of the  applicable  Seller,  the Rent Roll for its
Property  delivered  pursuant  to  Section  3.5.3 is  accurate  in all  material
respects.

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 any broker or statements,  representations or warranties,  express or
implied,  made  by or  enforceable  directly  against  Sellers  or  any  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 any
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  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
requirements  with respect to  condominium  conversion or the  compliance of the
Properties  with any  other  laws,  rules,  ordinances  or  regulations,  or the
compliance by the "declarant"  under any  conditions,  covenants or restrictions
affecting the Properties,  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. Sellers
make no representations or warranty with respect to any homeowners  associations
which may be referenced with respect to any of the Properties. 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 Deeds with or without such tenants in possession and
without any allowance or reduction in the  applicable  Purchase Price under this
Contract.  Except  for  environmental  claims or actions  brought by  unrelated,
non-governmental  third-parties relating to the events occurring before Closing,
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 1 year (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,  $100,000  for each 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  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 and 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 or 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 or 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 the State of California.

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
(including  bankruptcy) 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, any broker) in connection with this Contract and
the acquisition of the Properties.

6.5.5 Neither any broker involved in this  transaction nor any of its affiliates
have,  or will 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) any broker  involved in this  transaction or any of its affiliates
any  right or option to  acquire  any  direct  or  indirect  legal,  beneficial,
economic or voting interest in Purchaser.

6.5.6 Purchaser is not a Prohibited Person.

6.5.7 To Purchaser's knowledge, none of its investors,  affiliates or brokers or
other agents (if any),  acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection  with
this Contract is a Prohibited Person.

6.5.8  To  Purchaser's  knowledge,  the  funds or other  assets  Purchaser  will
transfer  to  Seller  under to this  Contract  are not the  property  of, or are
beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a Prohibited Person.

6.5.9  To  Purchaser's  knowledge,  the  funds or other  assets  Purchaser  will
transfer  to Seller  under  this  Contract  are not the  proceeds  of  specified
unlawful activity as defined by 18 U.S.C. ss. 1956(c)(7).

.............The provisions of this  Section 6.5  shall survive the Closing and
delivery of the Deeds 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  (of which such Seller
shall provide Purchaser  reasonable notice),  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 the  representations  and  warranties  of each Seller to Purchaser
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; and

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.

.............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  Applicable  Share of the  Deposit  from the  Escrow  Agent.  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  and  warranties  of Purchaser to such Seller
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 (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. If a Seller fails to obtain any consents required by
Section  8.2.4(a)  hereof,  and this Contract is terminated with respect to such
Seller's Property and such Property is not conveyed to Purchaser because of such
failures,   then  each  Seller  shall  pay   Purchaser  its  direct  and  actual
out-of-pocket  expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties)
in connection  with its Property for which this Contract has been so terminated,
which  damages  shall not exceed  $45,000  (individually)  for each  Property so
terminated.

.............If any of the  foregoing  conditions  in Sections  8.2.1  through
8.2.4 to a Seller's  obligation  to close with  respect to  conveyance  of its
Property  under this Contract are not satisfied  prior to the Closing Date set
forth  in  Section  5.1,  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.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                             [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

                                   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  APPLICABLE  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
APPLICABLE  SHARE OF THE  DEPOSIT TO EACH  SELLER,  AND  NEITHER  PARTY SHALL BE
OBLIGATED TO PROCEED WITH THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE  PROPERTIES.  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 PROPERTIES.  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.

      SELLER'S INITIALS                              PURCHASER'S INITIALS

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  Applicable  Share of the Deposit from the Escrow Agent.
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 Applicable Share of Deposit for the terminated
Properties  and  Purchaser  may recover,  as its sole  recoverable  damages (but
without  limiting its right to receive a refund of the  Applicable  Share of the
Deposit),  its direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs (documented by
paid invoices to third parties) in connection  with each Property for which this
Contract  has  been   terminated,   which  damages  shall  not  exceed   $45,000
(individually)  for each Property so terminated.  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,  between the  Effective  Date and the Closing  Date,  a
Property  is damaged or  destroyed  by fire or other  casualty,  and the cost of
repair is more than $250,000 for such Property, 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 as to the
damaged Property,  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 Applicable  Share of the
Deposit for the terminated Properties.

11.2 Minor Damage.  If, prior to the Closing, a Property is damaged or destroyed
by fire or other casualty, and the cost of repair is equal or less than $250,000
for such Property, 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. After the expiration of the Feasibility Period, to
the extent any single repair,  replacement or restoration  exceeds $25,000,  the
applicable Seller shall give notice to Purchaser and obtain Purchaser's  consent
(which shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  delayed or  conditioned)  prior to
commencing such repair, replacement or restoration;  provided, that, Purchaser's
consent  shall not be  required  if such Seller  reasonably  believes  that such
repair,  replacement  or  restoration is necessary to prevent harm to persons or
property.  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  (including an acquisition  that materially
limits access to such Property), 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 Applicable Share of the
Deposit for the terminated Properties.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Binding Effect of Contract. This Contract shall not be binding on any party
until executed by both Purchaser and all Sellers.  As provided in Section 2.3.5,
the Escrow Agent's execution of this Contract shall not 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

Purchaser is an affiliate 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

13.19  1031  Exchange.  Sellers  and  Purchaser  acknowledge  and agree that the
purchase  and sale of each  Property  may be part of a tax-free  exchange  under
Section  1031 of the Code for either  Purchaser  or a Seller.  Each party hereby
agrees to take all reasonable  steps on or before the Closing Date to facilitate
such exchange if requested by the other party, provided that (a) no party making
such  accommodation  shall be required to acquire any substitute  property,  (b)
such exchange shall not affect the representations,  warranties, liabilities and
obligations  of the  parties to each other  under  this  Contract,  (c) no party
making such accommodation  shall incur any additional cost, expense or liability
in connection with such exchange (other than expenses of reviewing and executing
documents  required in connection with such exchange),  and (d) no dates in this
Contract will be extended as a result thereof.  Notwithstanding  anything to the
contrary contained in the foregoing, if a Seller so elects to close the transfer
of a Property as an  exchange,  then (i) such Seller,  at its sole  option,  may
delegate its  obligations to transfer a Property  under this  Contract,  and may
assign its rights to receive the Purchase  Price from  Purchaser,  to a deferred
exchange  intermediary  (an  "Intermediary")  or  to an  exchange  accommodation
titleholder, as the case may be; (ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no
way reduce,  modify or otherwise  affect the obligations of such Seller pursuant
to  this  Contract;  (iii)  such  Seller  shall  remain  fully  liable  for  its
obligations  under this Contract as if such delegation and assignment  shall not
have taken place; (iv) Intermediary or exchange  accommodation  titleholder,  as
the case may be, shall have no liability  to  Purchaser;  and (v) the closing of
the  transfer of the Property to Purchaser  shall be  undertaken  by direct deed
from such Seller (or, if applicable,  from other  affiliates of such Seller whom
such  Seller  will cause to execute  such  deeds) to  Purchaser  or to  exchange
accommodation  titleholder,  as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary  contained  in the  foregoing,  if  Purchaser  so  elects  to close the
acquisition  of a  Property  as an  exchange,  then (i)  Purchaser,  at its sole
option,  may  delegate  its  obligations  to acquire  such  Property  under this
Contract, and may assign its rights to receive the Property from such Seller, to
an Intermediary or to an exchange accommodation titleholder, as the case may be;
(ii) such delegation and assignment shall in no way reduce,  modify or otherwise
affect the obligations of Purchaser  pursuant to this Contract;  (iii) Purchaser
shall  remain fully liable for its  obligations  under this  Contract as if such
delegation  and  assignment  shall not have taken place;  (iv)  Intermediary  or
exchange accommodation titleholder,  as the case may be, shall have no liability
to such  Seller;  and (v) the  closing of the  acquisition  of such  Property by
Purchaser or the exchange accommodation  titleholder,  as the case may be, shall
be undertaken by direct deed from the applicable Seller (or, if applicable, from
other  affiliates  of such Seller  whom such  Seller will cause to execute  such
deeds) to Purchaser (or to exchange accommodation  titleholder,  as the case may
be).  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.19 to the contrary, any Seller
shall have the right to extend the Closing Date (as previously extended pursuant
to Section  5.1) for up to 30 days in order to  facilitate  a tax free  exchange
pursuant to this Section 13.19,  and to obtain all  documentation  in connection
therewith.

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 of Colorado.  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  therefor,  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 prevailing party and charge the cost
of arbitration to the party which is not the 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 of Colorado 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller
will convey to Purchaser all of such Seller's  right,  title and interest in any
computer located at its Property (wiped clean of all software and files).

13.27  Non-Solicitation  of Employees.  Purchaser  acknowledges and agrees that,
without  the  express  written  consent  of  Seller's  Representative,   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 any Property for potential employment,  or (b) for a
period of 2 years after the Effective  Date,  directly  solicit any employees of
any other affiliates of Sellers located at any property owned by such affiliates
(other than the Properties).

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 Contract,  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.
Further,  if Purchaser  has the right to terminate  the Related  Contract in its
entirety, and does so terminate the Related Contract in its entirety (including,
without  limitation,  pursuant to Sections  3.2 or 4.3),  Seller  shall have the
option to terminate this Contract in its entirety.  In addition,  if the sellers
under the Related Contract  terminate the Related Contract for any reason,  then
the Sellers may (but are not obligated to) terminate this Contract within 5 days
after the termination of the Related Contract.  A default by the Purchaser under
the Related  Contract is, at the option of the Sellers  under this  Contract,  a
default by the Purchaser hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE XIV
                           LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE

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.
As an additional  "Seller's  Representation," and subject to all limitations and
qualifications  set forth in Article VI (including  limitations  on survival and
cap on  damages  for  breach of  representation),  and  further  subject  to the
limitations in Section 3.5, each Seller severally and  individually,  represents
as to itself only,  that it will include in the Materials  copies of any reports
on lead-based paint or asbestos testing and remediation for its Property readily
available to such Seller and commissioned  during such Seller's ownership of its
Property.

14.2  Consent  Agreement  - Pre-1978 - Not  Certified.  The  provisions  of this
Section  14.2 apply to those  properties  identified  on the Seller  Information
Schedule as "Pre-1978,  Not Certified." Using commercially  reasonable  efforts,
the applicable Seller shall (a) perform any testing (the "Testing")  required at
its  Property  with  respect  to  lead-based   paint  in  accordance   with  the
requirements of the Consent Agreement (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),  and (b) if required under the
Consent  Agreement,  as  reasonably  determined  by such Seller and its counsel,
remediate or abate (the  "Remediation")  any lead-based  paint condition at such
Property  prior to the Closing using  commercially  reasonable  efforts.  In the
event that such Seller does not complete such Testing or Remediation,  if any is
required under the Consent  Agreement,  prior to the Closing,  such Seller shall
initiate,  continue or complete such Testing or Remediation,  if any is required
under the Consent  Agreement,  promptly after Closing.  Purchaser  shall provide
such Seller with full and unimpeded access to its Property,  including,  without
limitation,  access to all units located thereon, for the purposes of completing
such Testing or Remediation, if any is required under the Consent Agreement, and
Purchaser  shall  fully  cooperate  with such Seller  regarding,  and allow such
Seller to perform,  such Testing or  Remediation,  if any is required  under the
Consent  Agreement,  as  determined by such Seller and its counsel in their sole
and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, allowing any alterations
to such Property, to comply with the Consent Agreement,  until such time as such
Testing or Remediation, if any is required under the Consent Agreement, has been
completed.  Seller shall provide 24 hours' notice to Purchaser in the event that
access to a unit is required to perform such Testing or  Remediation,  if any is
required  under  the  Consent  Agreement;   provided,   however,  such  Seller's
obligations   hereunder   after  Closing  shall  be  contingent  on  Purchaser's
compliance  herewith,  and such Seller  shall be relieved of all  liability  and
obligations regarding such Testing or Remediation or otherwise under the Consent
Agreement,  if any is required under the Consent  Agreement,  as a result of any
failure by Purchaser to comply with this Section  14.2.  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;   (2)  after  Closing,   Purchaser  agrees  to  undertake  the
obligations  required  by the  Consent  Agreement;  (3) such  Seller  will  need
necessary  access to the applicable  Property to comply with the requirements of
the Consent  Agreement;  (4) that  Purchaser  will  provide  such access to such
Property after Closing so that such Seller can comply with the  requirements  of
the Consent Agreement; and (5) Purchaser shall not be deemed to be a third party
beneficiary to the Consent  Agreement.  By execution  hereof,  Purchaser further
acknowledges  receipt  of notice in  writing  of the  existence  of the  Consent
Agreement  and receipt of a copy  thereof.  Upon  completion  of its testing and
remediation efforts, the applicable Seller, at its sole cost and expense,  shall
restore the affected  Property to  substantially  the  condition  (exclusive  of
remediation  effects) as existed  immediately  prior to the applicable  Seller's
testing and remediation activities.  The provisions of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 that
are applicable to Purchaser under the provisions of such Sections shall apply to
each Seller in the conduct of the activities  contemplated  by this Section 14.2
upon any of the  Properties  and the rights of and  benefits to the Sellers that
are  specified in such Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall apply to Purchaser in the case
of activities conducted by any Seller hereunder.  The provisions of this Section
14.2 shall survive the  termination of this Contract,  and if not so terminated,
the Closing and delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser.

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  Lead Based Paint Free."  Testing has been performed at each
Property identified as "Pre-1978,  Certified Lead Based Paint Free" 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.
Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense,  and not as a condition to Closing,
request the LPB Consultant to certify such report directly to Purchaser.  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.  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 Deeds 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,  Certified With  Lead-Based  Paint  Present,  but Without
Lead-Based  Hazard." Testing has been performed at the applicable  Property with
respect to  lead-based  paint.  The "LBP  Consultant"  identified  on the Seller
Information Schedule prepared the Report with respect to the Property identified
therein.  Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, and not as a condition to
Closing,  request  the  LBP  Consultant  to  certify  such  report  directly  to
Purchaser.  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.

                         [signatures on following pages]

                FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE CONTRACT

      THIS  FIRST   AMENDMENT  TO  PURCHASE  AND  SALE  CONTRACT   (this  "First
Amendment")  is made  as of the 1st day of  July,  2005  (the  "First  Amendment
Date"), by and among AIMCO SUNSET VILLAGE,  L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company,  FOXFIRE  APARTMENTS V LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP,  a South Carolina  limited
partnership,  AIMCO WALDEN,  L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, AIMCO
PARK COLONY,  L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability  company,  AIMCO/SHADOW LAKE,
L.P.  a  Delaware  limited  partnership,  GREENSBORO-OXFORD  ASSOCIATES  LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP,  a Maryland limited  partnership,  SALEM-OXFORD  ASSOCIATES LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP,  a Maryland limited partnership,  WOODHAVEN ASSOCIATES,  a Virginia
limited partnership  (individually a "Seller" and collectively  "Sellers"),  and
THE BETHANY GROUP, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Purchaser").

                                    RECITALS:

      WHEREAS,  Sellers and Purchaser  entered into a Purchase and Sale Contract
dated as of May 12, 2005 (the  "Contract"),  for the real properties  identified
therein; and,

      WHEREAS,  Sellers and Purchaser  desire to amend the Contract on the terms
and conditions set forth below.

      NOW, THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in the
Contract and herein and for other good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sellers and Purchaser agree to
amend the Contract as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT:

1.    Woodhaven.  The  Contract  is amended to delete  Woodhaven  Associates,  a
      Virginia  limited  partnership  ("Woodhaven"),   as  a  Seller  under  the
      Contract,  and to delete the property  owned by Woodhaven  (identified  as
      Exhibit A-8 to the  Contract) as a Property  under the  Contract.  Rather,
      Woodhaven shall be a "Seller" under the Related  Contract and its property
      shall be a "Property" under the Related Contract;  provided, however, that
      Woodhaven (a) shall remain liable for any breach of its obligations  under
      the Contract which accrues prior to the First Amendment Date and (b) shall
      not have any liability under the Contract which accrues from and after the
      First  Amendment  Date;  provided  further,  however,  that any  breach by
      Woodhaven  of the  Contract  prior to the First  Amendment  Date  shall be
      governed by, and treated as a breach of, the Related Contract, rather than
      the  Contract  (for  example,  if and to the extent any dispute  among the
      parties arises  regarding the disposition of Woodhaven's  Applicable Share
      of the Contract's  Deposit due to one or more breaches of its  obligations
      alleged  to have  occurred  prior to the First  Amendment  Date,  then the
      disposition of such  Applicable  Share shall be governed by the applicable
      terms  of the  Related  Contract  as if such  Applicable  Share  had  been
      credited to the account of the "Deposit" under the Related  Contract as of
      the  "Effective  Date" of the Related  Contract).  The Seller  Information
      Statement  attached to the  Contract  as  Schedule A is hereby  amended to
      delete all references to Woodhaven.  The definition of "Related  Contract"
      in Article I of the Contract is hereby  amended to include  Woodhaven as a
      party thereto.

2.    Purchase Price and Deposit.

(a)   Section  2.2  of the  Contract,  and  the  Seller  Information  Schedule
      attached to the Contract,  are amended to provide that the Base Purchase
      Price for each  Property  is as stated on  Schedule 1  attached  hereto.
      The  Base  Purchase  Price  adjustment  is in full  satisfaction  of all
      issues raised by Purchaser regarding the applicable  Property;  provided
      however, that the foregoing  acknowledgement regarding pricing shall not
      in any way  modify  the  respective  obligations  of  Sellers  under the
      Contract.

(b)   Section   2.2.1  of  the   Contract   is  amended   to   provide   that,
      notwithstanding  anything in the  Contract to the  contrary,  including,
      but not limited to,  Sections  3.2,  4.3(a),  8.1,  11.1 and 12.1 of the
      Contract and Article XV of the Contract,  $25,000 (the  "Non-Refundable
      Portion")  of the  Initial  Deposit  is  non-refundable,  except  that a
      Seller's  Applicable  Share  of such  Non-Refundable  Portion  shall  be
      refundable  to  Purchaser  only  upon the  default  by such  Seller  and
      termination  of the Contract with respect to such  Seller's  Property by
      Purchaser for such default.

(c)   Section  2.2.2 of the  Contract  is  amended to delete  "$969,192.00"  and
      insert in lieu thereof "$1,280,808.00".

(d)   Section 1.1.5 of the Contract is amended in its entirety as follows:

            "Applicable Share" means, a fraction,  the numerator of which is the
            Property's  Base Purchase Price set forth on the Seller  Information
            Schedule, and the denominator of which is $85,236,082.00.

3. Closing Date.  Section 5.1 of the Contract is hereby  amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:

            5.1  Closing  Date.  The  Closing  shall occur on July 29, 2005 (the
            "Closing  Date")  through an escrow with Escrow  Agent,  whereby the
            Sellers,  Purchaser  and  their  attorneys  need  not be  physically
            present at the Closing and may deliver  documents by  overnight  air
            courier  or  other  means.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  to  the
            contrary,  any Seller shall have the option,  by delivering  written
            notice to Purchaser, to extend the Closing Date to the last Business
            Day of the month in which the  Closing  Date  otherwise  would occur
            pursuant to the preceding sentence, or to such other date (either in
            the same month or the next) as such Seller reasonably  determines is
            desirable  in  connection  with any Loan Payoff and the  exercise of
            such  option  shall  extend  the  Closing  Date for all  Properties.
            Further,  the Closing  Date may be extended  without  penalty at the
            option of any  Seller  either  (i) to a date not later  than 30 days
            following the Closing Date  specified in the first  sentence of this
            paragraph  above  (or,  if  applicable,  as  extended  by any Seller
            pursuant  to the second  sentence  of this  paragraph)  to satisfy a
            condition  set forth in Section  8.2,  or (ii) such later date as is
            mutually   acceptable  to  Sellers  and  Purchaser.   Provided  that
            Purchaser  is not in  default  under the terms of this  Contract  or
            Related  Contract,  Purchaser shall be permitted the right to extend
            the Closing Date for all Properties (the "First Extension Right") to
            August 31,  2005,  by (i)  delivering  written  notice to Sellers no
            later than 5:00 PM (PST), on July 15, 2005, and (ii)  simultaneously
            with such notice to Sellers,  delivering  to Escrow Agent the amount
