2.       INITIAL CONTRIBUTIONS (HOLLYWOOD AND KIRKMAN).

Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, AERC agrees to contribute to the Partnership

amounts needed to (i) satisfy the Hollywood and Kirkman Construction Loans,
and (ii) pay the closing costs associated with the Initial Closing that any
provision of this Agreement obligates it to pay, as well as all closing costs
and expenses of MIG that AERC is required to pay under the terms and

relating, respectively, to Kirkman and Hollywood (collectively, the "AERC/MIG
INITIAL CLOSING COSTS"). (For all purposes of this Agreement: "HOLLYWOOD
CONSTRUCTION LOAN" means, collectively, the two construction loans presently
encumbering the property owned by the Hollywood Partnership that evidence loan
advances made solely for the purpose of funding the Hollywood Partnership's
costs of acquisition, development, construction and leasing of (and other,

Apartments in Hollywood, Florida, which loans are held, respectively, by
Nationsbank of Florida, N.A. and The Board of Trustees of the Policemen and
Firemen Retirement System of the City of Detroit (the "DETROIT POLICE/FIRE
TRUSTEES") and, in the aggregate, have a maximum principal loan amount
permitted by the loan documents of approximately $26,850,000.00; "KIRKMAN
CONSTRUCTION LOAN" means, collectively, the two construction loans presently
encumbering the property owned by the Kirkman Partnership that evidence loan
advances made solely for the purpose of funding the Kirkman Partnership's
costs of acquisition, development, construction and leasing of (and other,
similar costs relating to) the apartment complex known as Windsor at Kirkman
in Orlando, Florida, which loans are held, respectively, by SunTrust Bank,
Central Florida, National Association and the Board of Trustees of the General
Retirement System of the City of Detroit and have a maximum principal loan
amount permitted by the loan documents of approximately $31,250,000.00; and
"HOLLYWOOD AND KIRKMAN CONSTRUCTION LOANS" means, collectively, the Hollywood
Construction Loan and the Kirkman Construction Loan.) AERC agrees to cause the
Partnership to use the funds it so contributes to (i) pay and satisfy in full
the Hollywood and Kirkman Construction Loans at the time of the Initial
Closing and (ii) pay in full, as and when the same respectively become due and
payable, all of the costs and expenses as described in clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence. In exchange for AERC's Initial Contribution, AERC shall
receive all of the general partner's interest in the Partnership and a capital
account balance equal to AERC's Initial Contribution ("AERC'S CAPITAL
ACCOUNT") which translate into that number of general partner's units in the
Partnership that results from the application of the formula set out in
EXHIBIT I-2 attached hereto (the "AERC UNITS") in the Partnership. AERC's
Initial Contribution shall be payable by AERC as follows: (i) $875,000.00 in
earnest money will be deposited by AERC in escrow upon execution of this
Agreement (the "EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT"); and (ii) subject to the conditions
set forth in Paragraph 11 hereof, the balance of AERC's Initial Contribution
shall be deposited in escrow by AERC on or before the Initial Closing Date
(defined below) in immediately available funds. Within five (5) business days
following the execution of this Agreement, AERC



                                       4

   10



shall open an escrow account with First American Title Insurance Company,
Troy, Michigan Office (the "ESCROW AGENT") pursuant to a form of joint order
escrow agreement acceptable to AERC and MIG (the "ESCROW AGREEMENT") signed by
AERC, MIG and Escrow Agent as the initial parties thereto, and shall deposit
the Earnest Money Deposit therein. AERC shall notify the Parties of the
opening of the escrow, the deposit therein of the Earnest Money Deposit, the
number of the escrow, and the employee or employees of the Escrow Agent in
charge of the escrow. Each Party shall execute such documentation as may
reasonably be required by the Escrow Agent, including the Escrow Agreement if
in reasonable standard form. The Earnest Money Deposit shall be deposited in
an interest-bearing account as instructed by AERC and any net interest earned
thereon (after payment therefrom of all escrow charges and fees) shall be
added to the Earnest Money Deposit.

2.02   WAYMAN'S INITIAL CONTRIBUTION. Subject to the conditions set forth in
Paragraph 11 of this Agreement, Wayman agrees to contribute to the Partnership
all of Wayman's right, title and interest in and to Wayman's Limited
Partnership Interests in Kirkman and Wayman's Limited Partnership Interests in
Hollywood and he will simultaneously receive a limited partnership interest in
the Partnership with an initial capital account balance ("WAYMAN'S CAPITAL
ACCOUNT") in an amount equal to the sum of the Wayman Kirkman Amount and the
Wayman Hollywood Amount. For all purposes of this Agreement: "WAYMAN KIRKMAN
AMOUNT" means the product of multiplying the Kirkman Net Exchange Amount by
0.1695920; "KIRKMAN NET EXCHANGE AMOUNT" means the amount that results from
subtracting from the Kirkman Variable Exchange Amount the amount of cash
("AERC'S INITIAL KIRKMAN CONTRIBUTION") AERC contributes to the Partnership at
the Initial Closing for and on account of that portion of the AERC/MIG Initial
Closing Costs allocable to the Kirkman Partnership and the General Partner
Interest Purchase Agreement relating to Kirkman which are paid by AERC on
behalf of MIG thereunder and also subtracting the amounts due under Article
8.02(d) of the August 6, 1997 loan commitment from the Board of Trustees of
the General Retirement System of the City of Detroit; "KIRKMAN VARIABLE
EXCHANGE AMOUNT" means the amount that is equal to the sum of $4,700,000.00
plus the Kirkman Price Adjustment Component; "KIRKMAN PRICE ADJUSTMENT
COMPONENT" means the result of multiplying the Kirkman Daily Price Adjustment

         parties from whom such consents and authorizations have been obtained
         (except for authorization from its board of directors or its
         shareholders, which will have been obtained by the Closing Date) or to
         whom notices have been given. This Agreement constitutes, and the other
         documents and instruments to be delivered by AERC pursuant hereto when
         delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of
         AERC, enforceable against AERC in accordance with their respective

         proceeding or action pending or threatened against or relating to AERC
         which might materially and adversely affect AERC or which questions the

         pursuant hereto;

                  (iv) AERC has qualified to be taxed as a real estate

         fiscal year ending December 31, 1998;

                  (v) To the best of AERC's knowledge, neither the execution of
         this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
         hereby will, in any material respect, constitute a violation of or be
         in conflict with or constitute a default under any term or provision of
         any agreement or instrument to which AERC is a party;

                  (vi) AERC and each subsidiary of AERC and each partnership or
         limited liability company in which AERC holds an interest (any such
         subsidiary, partnership or limited liability company is herein called
         "Subsidiary") has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state,
         local, foreign and other tax returns, reports, information returns and
         statement required to be filed by them. AERC and each Subsidiary has
         paid or caused to be paid all taxes (including interest and penalties)

         to the best of the AERC's knowledge, threatened. There is no tax

         required to be filed by it pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
         amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), and the Securities Exchange Act of
         1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), and the rules and regulations
         promulgated thereunder, all of which (collectively, the "SEC FORMS")
         have complied in all material respects with the applicable
         requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
         respectively, and such rules and regulations. None of the SEC Forms
         filed by AERC with the SEC since January 1, 1994 (hereafter
         collectively referred to as the "REPORTS"), including (without
         limitation) any financial statements or schedules included therein,
         at the time filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact
         or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
         financial statements of AERC included in the Reports complied as to
         form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements
         and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect
         thereto, were prepared in accordance with United States generally
         accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis

         might prevent such Existing Limited Partner from performing its
         obligations hereunder or which questions the validity of this Agreement

         pursuant hereto;

                  (iv) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, in any

         Units is contemplated by the Restated Partnership Agreement; (B) if
         such Existing Limited Partner is a corporation, in dissolution thereof

         as applicable; and (C) each Existing Limited Partner reserves the
         right, to the extent it would not thereby violate the provisions of the
         Restated Partnership Agreement, to transfer, assign, pledge or grant a
         security interest in any or all of its Units to (1) any other Existing
         Limited Partner, (2) any Existing General Partner or (3) any financial

                                      29

   35



         particular. Such Existing Limited Partner is able to bear (a) the
         economic risk of an investment in the Units and (b) any lack of
         liquidity inherent in holding the Units, with the full understanding
         that such Existing Limited Partner can lose its entire investment.
         Such Existing Limited Partner acknowledges that the loss of its
         entire investment in the Units will not have a material adverse
         effect on its business operations. Such Existing Limited Partner has
         been advised by AERC to seek expert legal, tax, and accounting advice
         in connection with its investment decision; and

                  (viii) In order to evaluate the merits and the risks

         to each Existing Limited Partner, during the course of this
         transaction and prior to the investment in the Units, the opportunity
         to ask questions of, and receive answers from, AERC and those persons
         acting on AERC's behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of this
         transaction. Such Existing Limited Partner has had all such questions
         answered to its satisfaction and has been supplied all additional

         relating to the Partnership and such Existing Limited Partner's
         prospective interest therein and relating to AERC that have been made
         available by AERC and is familiar with the contents thereof and, in
         particular, with all risk factors associated with any investment in
         the Partnership. Each Existing Limited Partner has been provided the
         opportunity, to such Existing Limited Partner's satisfaction, to ask
         questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of
         this transaction, has had all such questions answered to such
         Existing Limited Partner's satisfaction and has been supplied all

         authorizations which have been obtained or notices which have been
         given). This Agreement constitutes, and the other documents and
         instruments to be delivered by such Existing General Partner pursuant
         hereto when delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding
         obligations of such Existing



                                      30

   36



         General Partner, enforceable against such Existing General Partner in
         accordance with their respective terms;

                  (ii) To the best of such Existing General Partner's knowledge,
         there is no litigation, proceeding or action pending or threatened
         against or relating to such Existing General Partner which might
         prevent such Existing General Partner from performing its obligations
         hereunder or which questions the validity of this Agreement or any
         action taken or to be taken by such Existing General Partner pursuant
         hereto;

                  (iii) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, in any
         material respect, constitute a violation of or be in conflict with or
         constitute a default under any material term or provision of any
         material agreement or instrument to which such Existing General Partner
         is a party;

                  (iv) Such Existing General Partner owns its general
         partnership interests in the Partnership free and clear of all pledges,
         liens, security interests, encumbrances and restrictions of any nature
         whatsoever except for those set out in the respective limited
         partnership agreements of the Development Partnerships;

                  (v) Such Existing General Partner (a) is acquiring the Units
         for such Existing General Partner's own account for investment only,
         not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or
         distribution of any part thereof; (b) has no present intention of
         selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the
         Units; and (c) does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
         arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation
         to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
         Units, in each case except as follows: (A) to the extent registration
         of the Units is contemplated by the Restated Partnership Agreement;
         and (B) each Existing Limited Partner reserves the right, to the
         extent it would not thereby violate the provisions of the Restated
         Partnership Agreement, to transfer, assign, pledge or grant a
         security interest in any or all of its Units to (1) any other
         Existing Limited Partner, (2) any Existing General Partner or (3) any
         financial institution as collateral security for any loan or loans.

                  (vi) Such Existing General Partner has sufficient knowledge
         and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of
         evaluating the merits and risks of investments generally, and of such
         Existing General Partner's investment in the Units in particular. Such
         Existing General Partner is able to bear (a) the economic risk of an
         investment in the Units and (b) any lack of liquidity inherent in
         holding the Units, with the full understanding that such Existing
         General Partner can lose its entire investment. Such Existing General
         Partner acknowledges that the loss of its entire investment in the
         Units will not have a material adverse effect on its business
         operations. Such Existing General Partner has been advised by AERC to
         seek expert legal, tax, and accounting advice in connection with such
         Existing General Partner's investment decision;




                                      31

   37




                  (vii) In order to evaluate the merits and the risks inherent
         in acquiring and holding the Units, AERC has made available to each
         Existing General Partner, during the course of this transaction and
         prior to the investment in the Units, the opportunity to ask questions
         of, and receive answers from, AERC and those persons acting on AERC's
         behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction. Such
         Existing General Partner has had all such questions answered to its
         satisfaction and has been supplied all additional information deemed
         necessary by such Existing General Partner to verify the accuracy of
         the information provided to it by AERC to the extent that AERC
         possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable
         effort or expense. Such Existing General Partner has had a full and
         complete opportunity to examine all relevant documents relating to the
         Partnership and such Existing General Partner's interest and
         prospective interest therein relating to AERC that have been made
         available by AERC and is familiar with the contents thereof and, in
         particular, with all risk factors associated with any investment in the
         Partnership. Each Existing General Partner has been provided the
         opportunity, to such Existing General Partner's satisfaction, to ask
         questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of
         this transaction, has had all such questions answered to such Existing
         General Partner's satisfaction and has been supplied all additional
         information deemed necessary by such Existing General Partner to verify
         the accuracy of the information supplied to such Existing General
         Partner; each Existing General Partner is familiar with the condition
         of the Partnership, and such Existing General Partner has had access to
         such information as such Existing General Partner deems material in
         making the investment decision called for; and each Existing General
         Partner believes that the Units are securities of the kind such
         Existing General Partner wishes to acquire and hold for investment; and

                  (viii) The Existing General Partners who are Parties jointly
         and severally represent and warrant that the Partnership is a duly
         organized and validly existing Florida general partnership; that the
         Existing General Partners are all the partners thereof; that the
         Partnership presently owns no property and conducts no operations
         other than those which relate directly or indirectly to one or more
         of the Development Partnerships; and that all requisite partnership
         action has been taken by the Existing General Partners and is
         presently in effect to authorize, for and on behalf of the
         Partnership, the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.04   MIG REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. MIG represents and warrants as of the
date hereof that it owns its general partner's interests in the Development
Partnerships free and clear of all pledges, liens, security interests,
encumbrances and restrictions of any nature whatsoever (except for those set
out in the respective limited partnership agreements of the Development
Partnerships); that it is a duly organized and validly existing Florida
corporation in good standing; that all of its shareholders and their interests
therein are identified on EXHIBIT E attached hereto and made a part hereof;

assignment by AERC (whether to a wholly owned subsidiary of, or other entity
controlled by, AERC or any other person): such assignment shall not relieve
AERC of its obligations under this Agreement; and,



                                      36

Closing, by a written agreement signed by Gutin and accepted in writing by
Wright, Gutin will transfer and assign to Wright or Wright's designee all of
her right, title and interests in, to, under and concerning all of the
Development Partnerships; (ii) if Wright accepts such transfer and assignment
and assumes in writing (such writing being referred to herein as a "TRANSFER
AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT") all of Gutin's obligations and liabilities with
respect to the interests thereby transferred and assigned, then (A)
simultaneously therewith, and automatically and without any further act, deed
or notice of any kind, Wright (or his designee, as the case may be) shall have
and succeed to all of what formerly had been Gutin's right, title and
interests therein, thereto, thereunder and concerning therewith and Gutin
shall be completely, unconditionally and forever released and discharged from,
and relieved of, any and all obligations and liabilities thereunder or with
respect thereto (except for any obligations or liabilities to Wright as may be
provided for in such Transfer and Assumption Agreement) and (B) Wright will be
obligated under this Agreement to cause the interests in the Development
Partnerships it had so acquired from Gutin to be transferred and assigned to

a Transfer and Assumption Agreement, not later than two business days after
its receipt thereof both AERC and the Partnership will execute and deliver to
Gutin a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to Gutin completely,
unconditionally and forever releasing and discharging Gutin from, and
relieving Gutin of, any and all obligations and liabilities of any and every
kind whatsoever.

16.      INDEMNIFICATION.

16.01    INDEMNIFICATION OF AERC BY EXISTING LIMITED PARTNERS. Each Existing
Limited Partner who is a Party severally agrees to indemnify and hold AERC
harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damage or expense
incurred by AERC arising out of any material breach of any representation and
warranty made by such Existing Limited Partner hereunder (individually, an
"EXISTING LIMITED PARTNER'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION" and collectively, the
"EXISTING LIMITED PARTNERS' INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS").




                                      37

   43




16.02    INDEMNIFICATION OF AERC BY EXISTING GENERAL PARTNERS. Each Existing
General Partner who is a Party severally agrees to indemnify and hold AERC
harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damage or expense
incurred by AERC arising out of any material breach of any representation or
warranty made by such Existing General Partner hereunder (individually, an
"EXISTING GENERAL PARTNER'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION" and collectively, the
"EXISTING GENERAL PARTNERS' INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS").

16.03    INDEMNIFICATION OF EXISTING GENERAL PARTNERS AND EXISTING LIMITED
PARTNERS BY AERC. AERC agrees to indemnify and hold each and all of the
Existing General Partners and the Existing Limited Partners harmless from and
against any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense incurred by any
or all of them arising out of any material breach of any representation or
warranty made by AERC hereunder (collectively, the "AERC INDEMNIFICATION
OBLIGATIONS").

16.04    CLAIMS FOR INDEMNIFICATION. The following procedures shall apply if a
claimed breach or other occurrence or matter giving rise to a claim of
indemnification is given by the party seeking indemnification (the "INDEMNIFIED
PARTY") to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING
PARTY"):

                  (i) Procedure for Indemnification with Respect to Third Party
         Claims. If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this
         Article 16 with respect to an Existing Limited Partner Indemnification
         Obligation, an Existing General Partner Indemnification Obligation, or
         an AERC Indemnification Obligation, as the case may be (collectively,
         an "INDEMNIFIABLE CLAIM"), resulting from the assertion of liability by
         any third party (i.e., a person not a Party), it shall give notice to
         the Indemnifying Party after it becomes aware of any such Indemnifiable
         Claim (such notice to be given in any event within the shorter of 15
         days or the number of days necessary to respond to the Indemnifiable
         Claim), which notice shall set forth such material information with
         respect to such Indemnifiable Claim as is then reasonably available to
         the Indemnified Party. If any such liability is asserted against the
         Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying
         Party of such liability, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if
         it so elects by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party
         within 10 days after receiving the Indemnified Party's notice, to
         assume the defense of such asserted liability with counsel selected by
         the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
         Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) the Indemnified Party shall
         have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees
         and expenses of such counsel shall be payable by the Indemnified Party;
         (b) the Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to give any
         notice of any assertion of liability by a third party unless such
         assertion is in writing; and (c) the rights of the Indemnified Party to
         be indemnified in respect of Indemnifiable Claims resulting from the
         assertion of liability by third parties shall not be adversely affected
         by its failure to give notice pursuant to the foregoing provisions
         unless, and, if so, only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is
         materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any assertion of
         liability by a third party that results in an Indemnifiable Claim, the
         Parties shall make available to each other all relevant information in
         their possession which is material to any





                                      38

   44





         such assertion. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to
         assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against any such
         Indemnifiable Claim within 15 days after receipt of the Indemnified
         Party's notice of such Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnified Party
         shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such
         Indemnifiable Claim on behalf, for the account, and at the risk of
         the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph
         16.04 to the contrary: (i) if there is a reasonable likelihood that
         an Indemnifiable Claim may materially and adversely damage the
         Indemnified Party, other than as a result of money damages or other
         money payments (each, a "NON-MONETARY INDEMNIFIABLE CLAIM"), then the
         Indemnified Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnifying
         Party to such effect explaining the reasons therefor and, if the
         Indemnifying Party consents thereto (which consent shall not be
         unreasonably withhold or delayed), the Indemnifying Party shall have
         the right, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to
         defend such Indemnifiable Claim; and (ii) neither the Indemnifying
         Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the other's prior
         written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
         delayed), settle or compromise (A) any Indemnifiable Claim or consent
         to entry of any judgment in respect of any Indemnifiable Claim, in
         each case involving money damages or other money payments, unless
         such settlement, compromise or consent includes as an unconditional
         term the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified
         Party a release from all liability in respect of such Indemnifiable
         Claim or (B) any Non-monetary Indemnifiable Claim.

                  (ii) Procedure For Indemnification with Respect to Non-Third
         Party Claims. If the Indemnified Party asserts the existence of an
         Indemnifiable Claim giving rise to damages for a non-third-party
         Indemnifiable Claim, it shall give written notice to the Indemnifying
         Party specifying the nature and amount of the Indemnifiable Claim
         asserted. If the Indemnifying Party, within 15 business days after
         receipt of such notice by the Indemnified Party, has not given
         written notice to the Indemnified Party announcing its intent to
         contest such assertion by the Indemnified Party, such assertion shall
         be deemed accepted and the amount of Indemnifiable Claim shall be
         deemed a valid Indemnifiable Claim. In the event, however, that the
         Indemnifying Party contests the assertion of an Indemnifiable Claim
         by giving such written notice to the Indemnified Party within such 15
         business day period, then if the parties, acting in good faith,
         cannot reach agreement with respect to such Indemnifiable Claim
         within 20 days after such notice, the contested assertion of the
         claim shall be resolved by litigation as provided in Paragraphs 17.03
         and 19.10 hereof and any other provision of this Agreement relating
         to litigation or disputes arising hereunder.

16.05    LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION. Rights to indemnification under this
Agreement are subject to the following limitations:

                  (i) Anything in this Agreement or in any of the General
         Partner Interest Purchase Agreements to the contrary notwithstanding
         (and the provisions of this sentence shall govern and control over any
         inconsistent provision in this Agreement or any of those other
         agreements): (A) No Existing General Partner or Existing Limited
         Partner shall be liable to pay Damages under or in respect of this
         Agreement and all of the General Partner Interest Purchase Agreements
         taken together, collectively, in an amount greater than the total value




                                      39

   45



         (for any such Party, its or his "INITIAL UNIT VALUE"), as of the date
         of such Party's first receipt thereof, of all Units delivered to such
         Party hereunder or under the General Partner Interest Purchase
         Agreements; (B) any Party (other than AERC) may, in his or its
         discretion, pay and satisfy all claims against him or it for Damages
         hereunder and under the General Partner Interest Purchase Agreements
         either in cash or (subject to the provisions of Paragraph 16.07
         hereinbelow) by delivering to AERC Units (rather than cash) which are
         free and clear of all liens, security interests and encumbrances,
         each such Unit to be valued for such purpose at its initial Value
         hereunder on the date (i.e., the Initial Closing Date or the Second
         Closing Date, as the case may be) it was first acquired by such
         Party; and (C) if AERC has actual knowledge of a breach of this
         Agreement, or of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
         made herein, which entitles it to terminate this Agreement or to
         decline to proceed to any closing hereunder, and AERC elects not to
         exercise any such right of termination (or right to decline to close)
         and waives all (but not less than all) of such breaches or closing
         conditions solely for the purpose of effecting the Initial Closing or
         the Second Closing, no other Party shall be liable to AERC (or its
         designee) for Damages relating to or based on such breach or
         inaccuracy.

                  (ii) The obligation of indemnity set forth in this Agreement
         shall terminate, with respect to each representation and warranty
         hereunder, on the day such representation or warranty ceases to survive
         as provided in the last grammatical paragraph of Article 9 of this
         Agreement.

16.06    NO POST-CLOSING CLAIMS. Except for the rights of indemnification
expressly set out in this Article 16, no Party shall have, or may assert or
enforce, against any other Party any claim, right or remedy under this
Agreement (i) after the Initial Closing (with respect to the partnership
interests in Hollywood or Kirkman or the Hollywood or Kirkman Development
Projects) or (ii) after the Second Closing (with respect to the partnership
interests in Pines or the Pines Development Project).

16.07    SATISFACTION OF CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. Each Existing
Limited Partner or Existing General Partner who is an Indemnifying Party shall
have the option of satisfying any indemnification payment obligation owed to
AERC hereunder either (i) by satisfying such obligation in cash (such cash
payment to be delivered by certified check or wire transfer in immediately
available funds) or (ii) by delivering and assigning to AERC all of such
Indemnifying Party's respective right, title and interest in and to such of
the Indemnifying Party's Units as have a value (set for these purposes as such
Units' value on the Closing Date) equal to the amount such Indemnifying Party
then owes to AERC with respect to its Indemnification Obligation. (The option
to pay with Units rather than cash, described in clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence, is referred to herein as the "UNIT PAYMENT OPTION".) The Unit
Payment Option may be utilized only with respect to Units owned by an
Indemnifying Party that can be assigned and delivered to AERC free and clear
of all liens, pledges, restrictions and encumbrances whatsoever. Each such
Indemnifying Party acknowledges and agrees that AERC shall have no obligation
to accept the assignment and delivery of any Units from any Indemnifying Party
seeking to utilize the Unit Payment Option unless and until that Indemnifying
Party delivers to Buyer (A) a certificate



                                      40

   46



representing and warranting that such Indemnifying Party owns those of his
respective Units being tendered free and clear of all liens, pledges,
restrictions and encumbrances whatsoever and (B) Uniform Commercial Code
searches of all applicable jurisdictions reasonably requested by AERC that show
no encumbrances on such Indemnifying Party's Units being tendered.

17.     DEFAULT/REMEDIES

17.01   REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT OF AERC. If AERC is in default under this
Agreement and neither the Existing Limited Partners nor the Existing General
Partners are in material default, the sole and exclusive remedy of the
Existing Limited Partners and the Existing General Partners shall be to
terminate this Agreement by notice given to AERC and in such event AERC shall
be liable to the Existing Limited Partners for liquidated damages in the
amount of the Earnest Money Deposit. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that
the entire Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to the Existing Limited
Partners in such event. The Parties recognize and agree that such remedy
provides for liquidated damages in a reasonable amount in the context of the
transactions in which the measurement of damages is not feasible or
convenient.

17.02   [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

17.03   REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT OF EXISTING LIMITED PARTNERS AND EXISTING GENERAL
PARTNERS. If all or any of the Existing Limited Partners or Existing General
Partners are in default of their obligations under this Agreement and AERC is
not in material default, then AERC shall have the right to (i) terminate this
Agreement and receive the Earnest Money Deposit in which case this Agreement
shall be of no further force and effect and, except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein, none of the Parties shall have any further liability to the
other, (ii) bring an action to cause the specific performance of this
Agreement or (iii) pursue any of its other rights and remedies available to it
at law or in equity, including the right to seek monetary damages, provided,
that AERC's right to monetary damages shall be limited to an amount not to
exceed, in total, an amount equal to the Earnest Money Deposit deposited by
AERC.

17.04   PAYMENT OF LITIGATION EXPENSES. If any dispute or litigation arises
under this Agreement or concerning the subject matter hereof, the reasonable
costs and expenses thereof (including, without limitation, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses for all appellate and trial court
proceedings) shall be paid and reimbursed to the substantially prevailing
party by the non-prevailing party whether or not a final judgment on the
merits of such dispute is ever entered in such litigation, with the court to
determine who is the substantially prevailing party for these purposes (which
party need not be awarded, or otherwise receive, all of the relief it had
requested in order to be deemed "substantially prevailing" for purposes
hereof). The limitation set out in clause A of subparagraph 16.05(i) above on
the amount of Damages payable by any Existing General Partner or any Existing
Limited Partner does not apply to the payment and reimbursement obligation set
out in this Paragraph 17.03 except with respect to Elwood, Kalik and Wayman
(as to whom that limitation will apply hereto).



                                      41

   47




17.05    SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. If any Party brings a suit against any
other Party for specific performance of this Agreement, the Party against whom
such suit is brought will not raise or assert as a defense that the remedy of
specific performance is unavailable or inappropriate because this is a contract
for the sale or disposition of personal property rather than interests in real
property (but such Party shall be free to assert any and all defenses relating
to the unavailability or inappropriateness of specific performance that would
have been available to it if this were a contract for the sale of interests in
real property).

18.      NOTICES.

         Unless otherwise expressly required or permitted by the terms of this
Agreement, any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder by the
parties shall be delivered by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service, by facsimile, personally or served by certified mail to the parties
at the facsimile number or addresses set forth below (as the case may be),
unless different addressees or facsimile numbers are given by one party to the
other:

understood, acknowledged and agreed that before the Initial Closing or the
Second Closing the Development Partnerships, respectively, will transfer and
assign to one or more of the Existing Limited Partners (or entities owned or
controlled by them) certain items described in the respective General Partner
Interest Purchase Agreements, and that the consideration deliverable at the

Partners, respectively, hereunder or under the General Partner Interest
Purchase Agreements will not be reduced, diminished or affected in any way on
account thereof or in respect thereof.

19.02    SUCCESSORS. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this

                  (e) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, in any
         material respect, constitute a violation of or be in conflict with or

         instrument or lease to which Seller or the Partnership is a party,
         subject to any required consents or authorizations of, or notices to,
         third parties from whom such consents or authorizations will be
         obtained or to whom notices will be given prior to Closing.

         Management Team's knowledge, neither Seller nor the Project is in
         violation in any material respect of any of the Permits and there is no
         pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened proceeding which

         with respect to a release, a threatened release or cleanup of

         Seller nor the Partnership is in default, nor will the entering into of
         this Agreement by Seller result in a default by Seller or the

         books and records delivered or made available to Buyer by Seller
         pursuant to Section 3(f), 3(s) and Section 9 hereof and to the best
         knowledge of Seller and the Management Team, there are no material
         liabilities, contingent or otherwise, asserted in writing with respect
         to the Project other than those shown on such financial statements, tax
         returns, and books and records.

                    (q) Seller and the Management Team do not have actual

         hereof, Seller has taken no action or failed to take any action nor
         has, to Seller's actual knowledge, any other party to any of the
         Construction Documents taken any action which, with the giving of
         notice or the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a default

         with respect to any alleged material default by Seller or the
         Partnership under any such material contracts relating to the
         construction of the Project.

                  (v) True, correct, and complete copies of the partnership

however, that 


                                      -9-
   78

Buyer shall not be entitled to recover on any representation or warranty set
forth in this Agreement if Buyer's due diligence made Buyer actually aware,
prior to Closing, of any matter which is contrary to those representations and
warranties, but no such knowledge shall affect the rights of Buyer to decline to

         material respect, constitute a violation of

         of Seller contained herein to be or become untrue.

                  (m) Use its reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary
         consents and authorizations of third parties to the performance by

         and fairways endorsements, in the amount of $37,028,000 (the "Title
         Policy") issued by the Title Company, as assurance that upon the
         Closing, the Partnership holds and will hold good, valid, and
         marketable title in fee simple absolute to the Property including all
         rights, privileges, and easements appurtenant to the Property free and
         clear of all encumbrances whatsoever, except as follows (collectively,
         the "Permitted Exceptions):

                             (i) zoning ordinances and regulations; provided the
                  same do not interfere with the use of the Property as an
                  apartment complex;

                            (ii) general real estate taxes which are a lien but
                  are not past due or delinquent at the Closing Date;

                           (iii) rights of tenants under Tenant Leases; and

                            (iv) such easements, covenants, conditions,
                  reservations, and restrictions of record disclosed to and

                                      -15-
   84

                  (b) Seller represents, warrants, and covenants to Buyer that
         upon the Closing Date the Partnership will have complete possession of
         the Property, subject only to the interests of the tenants under the
         Tenant Leases.

                  (c) Buyer shall obtain, as promptly as reasonably practicable
         after the execution of this Agreement a current commitment issued by
         the Title Company to issue the Title Policy (the "Title Commitment")
         with copies of all instruments referred to as exceptions or conditions
         in the Title Commitment, setting forth all real estate taxes and
         special assessments, the state of record title to the Property and all
         exceptions to, or encumbrances upon, title to the Property which would
         appear in the Title Policy. Buyer shall have until the end of the Due
         Diligence Period (as defined in Section 9 of this Agreement) to review
         such items and to give notice to Seller of such objections as Buyer may
         have to any matters set forth in the Title Commitment or survey. Seller
         understands and agrees that prior to the expiration of the Due
         Diligence Period, Buyer may deliver to Seller an objection letter or
         objection letters at any time during the Due Diligence Period and
         Seller agrees that any such delivery or deliveries shall not be
         construed in any way to limit or restrict Buyer's right to deliver
         additional objections to Seller at any time during Due Diligence
         Period. If Buyer timely (i.e during the Due Diligence Period) objects
         to any special assessments, defects or encumbrances, Seller shall have
         until the end of the Due Diligence Period to have such exceptions
         cured, either by the removal of such exceptions or by the procurement
         of title insurance endorsements or other resolution satisfactory to
         Buyer providing coverage against loss or damage as a result of such
         exceptions. If Seller shall not cure such defects or encumbrances to
         Buyer's satisfaction by the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, at
         its option, may (i) terminate this Agreement upon written notice of
         termination to Seller in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement,
         in which event neither party shall thereafter 


                                      -16-
   85

         have any liability to the other (except as to matters which, under any
         other provision of this Agreement are expressly stated to survive a
         termination of this Agreement), and all funds previously paid or
         deposited by Buyer, including all accrued interest, shall be returned
         to Buyer, or (ii) waive its objection to the defects or encumbrances
         and proceed to the Closing in which event all such waived defects or
         encumbrances shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions hereunder.
         Notwithstanding the above, any defects in the nature of (i) consensual
         liens affirmatively granted by Seller, (ii) mechanics' liens, (iii)
         judgement liens or (iv) non- consensual liens (other than mechanics' or
         judgement liens) which do not exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars
         ($25,000) in the aggregate, that can be released by payment of the
         underlying obligation, shall be removed, bonded or title insured over
         by Seller and if not so removed, bonded or title insured over by the
         Closing then such amount shall be charged against the capital accounts
         of the Limited Partners (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) all
         as more fully provided in Section 11(g) hereof. Buyer shall
         conclusively be deemed to have waived all objections to any title or
         survey defect, encumbrance or exception reflected or referenced in the
         Title Commitment or survey as to which Buyer fails to deliver to Seller
         a written objection by the end of the Due Diligence Period, and all
         such matters shall thereafter be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions for
         purposes of this Agreement.

loss, cost, claim, liability, damage or expense (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of physical damages or injuries to
persons or property caused by Buyer's 


                                      -21-
   90

inspections, investigations, audits, tests or visits to the Project. Buyer's
restoration and indemnification obligations set forth in this Section shall
survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. At Buyer's request, Seller
shall promptly after the execution of this Agreement, deliver to Buyer or make
available for inspection and copying to Buyer the following, if in Seller's
possession or control:

                  (a) a copy of the most recent "Phase I Environmental
         Assessment" of the Property (if any), and any other written information
         concerning the environmental condition of the Project, including
         wetlands delineations, as Buyer may reasonably request and any
         authorizations reasonably necessary for Buyer, at Buyer's expense, to
         update such assessment or information, or reasonably necessary for
         Buyer, at Buyer's expense, or its agents to independently assess the
         environmental condition of the Property;

                  (b) a copy of Seller's most recent complete boundary survey of
         the Project (Buyer shall be entitled to receive and approve as set
         forth herein an updated and upgraded survey as reasonably required by
         Buyer);

                  (c) true and correct copies of the Books and Records, Tenants
         Leases, Personal Property Leases, Project Contracts and any other
         document, instrument or other writing relating to the Project (but not
         internal expressions or opinions concerning the value of the Project or
         the operation thereof, any personal information relating to the
         principals of Seller or matters that do not relate to the Project) as
         Buyer may reasonably request;

                  (d) a listing of all individuals, if any, who work either on a
         full or part time basis at the Project and all such individuals'
         positions and salaries regardless of who such individuals are employed
         by; and

                  (e) true and correct copies of all documents and instruments
         relating to any mortgage indebtedness.


                                      -22-
   91

                  Without limiting the rights accorded to Buyer pursuant to
Section 7 hereof, at any time during or at the end of the Due Diligence Period,
Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement (by giving
notice of such termination to Seller). Buyer shall notify Seller in writing
either during or at the end of the Due Diligence Period with respect to whether
or not Buyer elects to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. If Buyer's written notice to Seller indicates that Buyer has elected
to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement then the parties
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, proceed
to the Closing. If Buyer's written notice to Seller indicates that Buyer has
elected not to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement then
this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned
to Buyer. Upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this Section
9, neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability or obligation
to the other, except as to matters which this Agreement expressly states are to
survive a termination of this Agreement.

         10. CLOSING DATE. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, the
Closing shall occur, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7 of this
Agreement, on a date designated by Buyer in writing, which date shall not be
earlier than seven (7) days before or later than thirty (30) days after the date
upon which (a) the Project is Substantially Completed and (b) Seller has
delivered to Buyer its certificate to the effect that Seller has entered into
fully executed leases for eighty percent (80%) of the apartment units at the
Project and eighty percent (80%) of such units shall be occupied in accordance
with the Leasing Requirements (the "Closing Date").

                  If Buyer fails to close hereunder even though all conditions
to its obligations hereunder have been satisfied, or if Buyer otherwise is in
default of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, Seller may, so
long as Seller is not in default of any of its material obligations under this
Agreement, terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Buyer, 



                                      -23-
   92

in which case Seller shall receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and
neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the other
except for Buyer's obligation to repair damage as set forth in Section 9 above.

                  Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any
time after the Due Diligence Period by providing written notice to Seller.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that
Buyer terminates this Agreement after the Due Diligence Period, other than by
reason of a right afforded Buyer under the terms and provisions hereunder and
Seller has otherwise timely and fully complied with all of its obligations
hereunder, Seller shall receive the Earnest Money Deposit as liquidated damages
and neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the other,
except for Buyer's obligation to repair damage as set forth in Section 9 above.

         11. PRORATIONS AND CLOSING COSTS. All prorations, adjustments and final
readings shall be made, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, on
the Adjustment Date, by the Title Company based on information provided by the
parties, as follows:

                  (a) Payments under any Project Contracts or Personal Property
         Leases and fees for any transferable licenses and permits shall be
         prorated;

                  (b) General Real Estate taxes shall be prorated, using for
         such purpose the rate and valuation shown on the last available tax
         duplicate, but subject to further adjustment as provided below. If any
         real estate taxes prorated at Closing or assessments paid by Seller (as
         set forth below) are later increased for any reason whatsoever,
         including, without limitation, the real estate taxes and assessments
         shown on the later issued actual tax duplicate being greater than those
         shown on the tax duplicate available at Closing or because of any
         additions or corrections to the tax duplicate assessed by reason of
         Buyer's acquisition of the Project, then Seller shall promptly pay all
         such increases allocable to the 


                                      -24-
   93

         period prior to the Closing Date and Seller shall protect, indemnify,
         defend, and hold Buyer harmless from and against all such real estate
         tax and assessment increases, which obligations on the part of the
         Seller and shall survive the Closing. Any special assessment which is a
         lien on the Project at Closing shall be paid by Seller without
         proration.

                  (c) Collected rents shall be prorated based upon the total
         rent roll payable for the month in which the Closing occurs. In the
         event that any tenant, who as of the Closing is delinquent in the
         rental payments due Seller, delivers to Buyer a rent check in an amount
         in excess of the rent due Buyer for the month for which such check is
         delivered, Buyer shall allocate such excess first to pay reasonable
         outside collection costs, if any, then to pay rents which become due
         after the Closing and are currently due and owing as of the date such
         payment is received, then pay remaining funds to Seller for any rents
         delinquent prior to the Closing; provided, however, in no event shall
         Buyer be obligated to collect delinquent rents on Seller's behalf;

                  (d) Final readings and final billings for utilities shall be
         made as of the Adjustment Date. Seller shall pay all outstanding
         amounts due as of such time, or such amounts shall be credited to Buyer
         at the Closing. Seller shall assign to Buyer all of its right, title
         and interest in and to any utility and other similar deposits and
         Seller shall receive a credit for all such deposits. If final readings
         and billings cannot be obtained prior to the Closing, the final bills,
         when received, shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Date and the
         Title Company shall hold in escrow an amount equal to 150% of the
         reasonably anticipated amount of such billings, based upon the most
         recent available billings for similar periods until the Title Company
         shall have received notice of payment of such bills, at which time any
         remaining amount being withheld for such purpose shall be distributed
         to the Seller;


                                      -25-
   94

                  (e) All salaries, benefits, and payroll taxes for all
         employees hired by Buyer shall be prorated;

                  (f) Seller shall assign to Buyer or Buyer's affiliate (as
         directed by Buyer) at the Closing an amount equal to all Deposits which
         Seller received under the Tenant Leases and which Seller has not
         returned or applied in accordance with the provision of Tenant Leases;
         and

                  (g) Except with respect to attorney's fees as discussed below,
         all closing costs relating to this transaction, including, (i) any
         escrow fee at the Closing, (ii) the cost of a new or upgraded or
         updated survey of the Property and (iii) the cost of the Title Policy
         together with all endorsements attached thereto shall be paid by Buyer,
         but such payments shall be charged against the capital accounts of the
         Limited Partner's (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) pursuant
         to the Contribution Agreement. Additionally, any prorations that Buyer
         may receive under this Section 11 that would otherwise be credited
         against the balance of the Purchase Price shall instead be charged
         against the capital accounts of the Limited Partners as provided above.
         Each party shall pay its own attorneys' fees.

                  (h) In the event that there is a Punchlist Holdback Escrow,
         Seller shall deliver to the Title Company to hold in escrow an amount
         equal to 125% of the reasonably anticipated amount of such Punchlist
         Holdback Escrow, until the Title Company shall have received notice
         from Buyer and Seller of completion of the Punchlist Work and
         assurances of payment of such bills relating to the Punchlist Holdback
         Escrow, at which time any remaining amount being withheld for such
         purpose shall be distributed to the Seller. 

12. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. Seller agrees to promptly advise Buyer in writing of
any material damage to the Project. If all or any substantial portion of the
Project (i.e. 10% or more of the value) shall, prior to the Closing, be damaged
or destroyed by fire or any other cause, and such 


                                      -26-
   95

damage shall not have been repaired or reconstructed prior to the Closing in a
good and workmanlike manner to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, Buyer may,
at Buyer's option: (a) remain obligated to perform this Agreement and receive
all insurance proceeds received by or payable to Seller as a result of such
damage or destruction plus an amount equal to any insurance policy deductible;
or (b) by written notice of termination given to Seller not later than thirty
(30) days after Seller provides Buyer with written notice of such damage or
destruction, terminate this Agreement and receive any documents, instruments and
funds previously deposited or paid including the Earnest Money Deposit (together
with all interest earned thereon). If an unsubstantial portion of the Project
(i.e. 10% or less of the value) shall, prior to the Closing, be damaged or
destroyed by fire or any other cause and such damage shall not have been
repaired or reconstructed prior to the Closing in a good and workmanlike manner
to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, then Buyer shall be obligated to
proceed to close the transaction contemplated hereby, but shall receive from
Seller, on the Closing Date, an assignment of proceeds of the insurance payable
under Seller's insurance policy plus an amount equal to any insurance policy
deductible. Upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this Section
12, neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the other,
except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

         13. CONDEMNATION AND EMINENT DOMAIN. If, prior to the Closing Date, all
or any portion of the Project shall be subjected to a taking, either total or
partial, by eminent domain, condemnation, or for any public or quasi-public use,
Buyer shall have the right to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice of termination to Seller, in which event all funds and documents
deposited by Buyer and Seller shall be refunded or returned to the depositing
party and neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the
other and Buyer shall receive the Earnest Money Deposit, or (b) proceed to close
this transaction in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer all proceeds
resulting from such taking. Seller and Buyer each agree to 


                                      -27-
   96

forward promptly to the other any notice of intent received pertaining to a
taking of all or a portion of the Project by way of condemnation, eminent domain
or similar procedure for a taking of the Project in connection with any public
or quasi-public use.

         14. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) Buyer shall fully indemnify and hold Seller and its
         officers, directors, representatives, successors, and assigns harmless
         from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities,
         damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising
         out of or in connection with (i) the failure of Buyer to perform in any
         material respect any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) any material
         breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer
         hereunder or (iii) the ownership of the Project or the Partnership
         Interest if that claim, demand, loss, liability, damage or expense
         first arises, accrues or exists from and after the Closing (except to
         the extent that such indemnification obligation would arise directly as
         a result of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or breach
         of any covenant made by Seller hereunder)

                  (b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 14(c)
         below, Seller and the Management Team, jointly and severally, shall
         fully indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer, its officers, directors,
         successors, and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims,
         demands, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including
         reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with (i)
         the failure of Seller or the Management Team to perform in any material
         respect any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) the material inaccuracy
         of any representation or warranty made by Seller or the Management Team
         hereunder, or (iii) the ownership of the Project or the Partnership
         Interest if that claim, demand, loss, liability, damage or expense
         arose, accrued or existed prior to the Closing (except to the extent
         that such indemnification obligation would arise directly as a result
         of the inaccuracy 


                                      -28-
   97

         of any representation or warranty or breach of any covenant made by
         Buyer hereunder).

                  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
         Agreement or the Contribution Agreement, (i) Seller's liability under
         this Agreement (taken together with Seller's liability under the
         Contribution Agreement relating to the same matters) shall be limited
         to an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
         ($250,000) in the aggregate and (ii) each member of the Management
         Team's liability under this Agreement and the Contribution Agreement
         shall be limited to an amount equal to the total compensation received
         by each such member of the Management Team under this Agreement and the
         Contribution Agreement which amounts are set forth on EXHIBIT L
         attached hereto and made a part hereof. Each member of the Management
         Team shall have the option of satisfying any indemnification obligation
         owed to Buyer hereunder either (i) by satisfying such obligation in
         cash (such cash payment to be delivered by certified check or wire
         transfer in immediately available funds) or (ii) subject to the
         limitations described in this Section 14(c) below, by delivering and
         assigning to Buyer all of such member's respective right, title and
         interest in and to such of the limited partnership units in HP having a
         value (set for these purposes, as such units' value on the Closing
         Date) equal to the amount that it receives pursuant to the terms of the
         Contribution Agreement. The right to elect to exercise option (ii)
         above in connection with the satisfaction of any indemnification
         obligation owed to Buyer may be exercised only with respect to such
         limited partnership units owned by such member that can be assigned and
         delivered to Buyer free and clear of all liens, pledges, restrictions
         and encumbrances whatsoever. Each member of the Management Team
         acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have no obligation to accept
         the assignment and delivery of any limited partnership units
         contemplated by option (ii) above unless and until the member or
         members of the Management Team (as the case may 



                                      -29-
   98

         be) seeking to exercise the rights provided in option (ii) deliver to
         Buyer (x) a certificate representing and warranting that such member
         owns those of his respective limited partnership units in HP being
         tendered free and clear of all liens, pledges, restrictions and
         encumbrances whatsoever and (y) uniform commercial code searches of all
         applicable jurisdictions reasonably requested by Buyer that show no
         encumbrances on such member's limited partnership units in HP.

                  (d) Except for any claim relating to a breach of any
         representation and warranty set forth in Section 3(o) of this
         Agreement, any claim for indemnification under clause (ii) of Section
         14(a) or Section 14(b) must be asserted in writing and with specificity
         by the date (the "Claim Expiration Date") that is three hundred sixty
         five (365) days after the Closing Date, and any and all claims not so
         asserted by the applicable Claim Expiration Date shall automatically
         expire and be deemed to have been forever waived, released and of no
         force or effect. 


         15. MECHANICS' LIENS. Seller shall hold Buyer harmless from and against
any and all costs, damages, and expenses incurred by Buyer, directly or
indirectly as the owner of the Project, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as
a result of the filing against the Project of any mechanics' lien by any person
or entity claiming to have performed work on the Project or supplied materials
for the Project prior to the Closing pursuant to authorization from Seller or
the agents or employees of Seller or in connection with the Punchlist Work (if
any). Seller and Buyer each agree to give the other notice of any such lien
promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
any such liens are not discharged of record or bonded or title insured over by
the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to pay the full amount of any such
liens to the lien claimants, and Seller on demand shall reimburse Buyer for any
such payments.

         16.      SELLER'S AND BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVES/SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.


                                      -30-
   99

                  (a) Seller and Buyer shall meet on at least a monthly basis to
         discuss all matters pertaining to the Project. Seller will report on
         all construction activities, the construction schedule, change orders
         and other requested changes to any Construction Document, lease form or
         other document for which Buyer's approval is required by any other
         provision of this Agreement. The Approved Plans and Specifications
         together with any material contracts relating to the construction of
         the Project shall not be materially amended or modified without the
         prior written approval of Buyer as more fully provided in Section 5(s)
         of this Agreement, but Seller may, without Buyer's approval or consent,
         make or consent to any changes and modifications thereof which are not
         material, and all of such changes and modifications shall be deemed to
         be part of and included in, the "Approved Plans and Specifications" for
         all purposes. Seller will report to Buyer on all management and
         operating activities, including presenting to Buyer all new or modified
         Tenant Leases that have been entered into in accordance with the
         Leasing Requirements, new or modified Project Contracts (as permitted
         under Section 5(k) hereof) and new or modified Personal Property Leases
         (as permitted under Section 5(k) hereof) for the Project. Seller and
         Buyer will be available on a more frequent basis as is reasonably
         required for the needs of the construction, leasing and operation of
         the Project. All such meetings will be held at the Project or Seller's
         office unless Seller and Buyer agree otherwise.

                  (b) When Seller believes that the Project has been
         Substantially Completed, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, an architect's
         certificate in customary form confirming that the Project has been
         Substantially Completed in accordance with the Construction Documents
         subject only to Punchlist Work together with the following: (i) final
         occupancy certificates for all of the Project's units in customary
         local form; (ii) documentation from the architect and such other
         persons as reasonably requested by Buyer confirming that the Project
         has


                                      -31-
   100

         been Substantially Completed, (iii) an architect's certificate or other
         documentation acceptable to Buyer confirming that the completed Project
         complies with the FHAA regulations and Americans with Disabilities Act.
         Within a reasonable time, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days
         after Buyer's receipt of all of the above documents, Buyer shall notify
         Seller with respect to whether or not Buyer accepts Seller's conclusion
         that the Project has been Substantially Completed. The notice shall
         include a list of Punchlist Work, if any, to be completed in accordance
         with Section 5(b) of this Agreement. If Buyer accepts Seller's
         conclusion that the Project has been Substantially Completed, then
         subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement,
         the parties shall proceed to the Closing. If Buyer concludes that the
         Project has not been substantially Completed, then the notice delivered
         by Buyer shall indicate the reasons behind Buyer's conclusion that the
         Project has not been Substantially Completed, but Buyer's conclusion
         will not be conclusive or binding on Seller. 

         17. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) This Agreement, including the Exhibits attached hereto,
         shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions agreed upon
         with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that
         there are no outside representations or oral agreements. All of the
         Exhibits referred and attached to this Agreement are an integral part
         of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.

                  (b) Unless otherwise expressly required or permitted by the

                  (c) Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other
         that such party has 


                                      -33-
   102

         had no dealing with any real estate broker or agent so as to entitle
         such broker or agent to any commission in connection with the sale of
         the Partnership Interest to Buyer, which representations and warranties
         shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby. If
         for any reason any such commission shall become due, the party who
         retained such broker shall pay any such commission and agrees to
         indemnify and save the other party harmless from any and all claims for
         any such commission and from any attorneys' fees and litigation or
         other expenses relating to any such claim.

                  (d) This Agreement may not be assigned by Seller without the
         prior written consent of Buyer. This Agreement may be assigned by Buyer
         without the prior written consent of Seller to an entity wholly owned
         or controlled by Buyer but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer from
         its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
         inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
         successors and permitted assigns.

                  (e) After the Closing, the parties shall execute and deliver
         such further documents and instruments of conveyance, sale, assignment,
         transfer or otherwise, and shall take or cause to be taken such other
         or further action as either party shall reasonably request at any time
         or from time to time in order to effectuate the terms and provisions of
         this Agreement.

                  (f) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
         accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

                  (g) This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
         each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken
         together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                  (h) If the date for performance of any act under this
         Agreement falls on a 


                                      -34-
   103

         Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, the date for such performance
         shall automatically be extended to the first succeeding business which
         is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday.

                  (i) Lanny M. Kalik, James C. Elwood and Edwin B. Wayman hereby
         join in this Agreement solely for the purpose of confirming their
         respective agreements to execute and deliver the guaranty attached as
         EXHIBIT K on or before the Closing Date and Wright and Cote', also
         hereby agree, without limiting or diminishing their obligations under
         this Agreement as members of the Management Team, to execute and
         deliver the guaranty attached as EXHIBIT K.

                  (j) Any litigation or other formal dispute resolution process
         under, concerning, arising out or relating to this Agreement or the
         performance of any duty or obligation hereunder shall be brought,
         instituted, maintained and conducted solely and exclusively in the
         Florida State or Federal courts sitting in Broward County, Florida (or
         the Federal District Court for Broward County). Each party to this
         Agreement irrevocably consents to jurisdiction over its person and
         property in and by, and venue in, such courts for purposes of
         adjudicating any and all disputes arising under, concerning, or
         relating in any way to this Agreement or any subject matter hereof or
         matter addressed or dealt with herein. Buyer agrees to use reasonable
         efforts to join all parties to this Agreement and the guaranty attached
         as EXHIBIT K in a single action in the event that any litigation is
         commenced by Buyer hereunder or under or in respect of any such
         guaranty. If any dispute or litigation arises under this Agreement or
         concerning the subject matter hereof, the reasonable costs and expenses
         thereof (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable
         attorneys' fees and expenses for all appellate and trial court
         proceedings) shall be paid and reimbursed to the substantially
         prevailing party by the non-prevailing party whether or not a final



                                      -35-
   104

         judgment on the merits of such dispute is ever entered in such
         litigation, with the court to determine who is the substantially
         prevailing party for these purposes (which party need not be awarded,
         or otherwise receive, all of the relief it had request in order to be
         deemed "substantially prevailing" for purposes hereof). Notwithstanding
         any of the other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer
         is deemed to be the substantially prevailing party in any of the
         litigation discussed above and the amount of such fees, together with
         the amount of any relief or judgments granted to Buyer as a result of
         such litigation, exceed (i) Seller's limitation on liability set forth
         in Section 14(c) hereof or (ii) any of Lanny M. Kalik's, James C.
         Elwood's or Edwin B. Wayman's respective limitations on liability set
         forth in the guaranty attached hereto as EXHIBIT K, then each member of
         the Management Team, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to pay and
         reimburse Buyer for all such excess costs, without regard to the
         liability limitations set forth in Section 14(c) of this Agreement and
         will promptly pay and reimburse to Buyer all such excess costs and
         expenses.

                  (k) It is understood and agreed that before the Closing Date,
         Seller will cause the Partnership to do the following, all without any
         reduction in the consideration being delivered by Buyer to Seller
         hereunder: (i) transfer and assign to Seller the claim by the
         Partnership described on EXHIBIT N attached hereto and made a part
         hereof and (ii) transfer and assign to Elwood and Kalik any world wide
         right, title and interest that Seller may presently have in the
         Approved Plans and Specifications. Seller acknowledges and
         agrees that all of the liabilities arising out of or relating to the
         claim in clause (i) of the preceding sentence shall be retained by
         Seller, that Buyer nor the Partnership shall have any liability
         whatsoever with respect to such liabilities and that any liability
         arising from or relating to such claim shall be a matter as to which
         Seller and the Management Team will be required to indemnify Buyer
         under Section 14(b) of this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees 


                                      -36-
   105

         as follows (i) neither it nor the Partnership will have any right of
         any kind to have or use the Approved Plans and Specifications other
         than the Partnership's right to use the same in connection with the
         ownership and operation of the Project and (ii) until the fifth
         anniversary of the Closing Date, neither it nor the Partnership will,
         directly or indirectly or through a corporation, partnership or entity
         that either of them owns, use (without the consent of Elwood and Kalik)
         any of the architects listed in SCHEDULE 17(K) attached hereto and made
         a part hereof (who are architects that Elwood and Kalik have used, and
         expect to use in the future, in connection with their development or
         construction of garden apartment projects in Florida) in connection
         with their development in Florida of any 2-story or 3-story garden
         apartment projects having between 200 and 800 units. The restriction
         contained in subpart (ii) of the preceding sentence is not intended to
         restrict Buyer, nor shall it prohibit Buyer, the Partnership or any
         corporation, partnership or entity that either of them owns from
         acquiring any apartment project in Florida that was architecturally
         designed in whole or in part by any of the architects listed in
         SCHEDULE 17(K) nor from entering into a contract with any
         builder/developer or other person for the purpose of acquiring an
         apartment project upon completion of construction, which is designed,
         in whole or in part, by any of the architects listed in SCHEDULE 17(K)
         pursuant to a bona fide transaction initiated by that builder/developer
         or other person.

                  (l) The parties acknowledge that the transactions contemplated
         by this Agreement do NOT constitute a sale, conveyance or transfer of
         real property. Nevertheless, to avoid any possibility that the letter,
         the spirit or the general policy reflected in the relevant Florida
         statute would not be satisfied, the parties include the following
         legend here: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
         it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present
         health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of



                                      -37-
   106

         radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in
         buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon
         testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.


                                      -38-
   107

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have signed four
counterparts of this Agreement, each of which shall be deemed to be an original
document, as of the date set forth above, which date shall be date upon which
Buyer executes this Agreement.

                                    GUARANTY
                                    --------

                  GUARANTY, dated as of ____________ ___, 1998, made by LARRY
WRIGHT, JAMES A. COTE', LANNY M. KALIK ("Kalik") , JAMES C. ELWOOD ("Elwood")
and EDWIN B. WAYMAN ("Wayman") (collectively the "Guarantors" or singularly a
"Guarantor"), in favor of ASSOCIATED ESTATES REALTY CORPORATION, an Ohio
corporation ("AEC") and [AERC REIT Sub, an ___________________ ("Sub")] AEC and
sub collectively "AERC").

                  PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

                  (1) AEC, as subsequently assigned to Sub, has entered into a
Partnership Interest Purchase dated March __, 1998 (the "Purchase Agreement")
with MIG Development Company, a Florida corporation ("MIG"), pursuant to which,
subject to certain conditions, Sub will purchase the Partnership Interest (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) from to MIG.

                  (2) It is a condition precedent to Sub purchasing the
Partnership Interest from MIG that Guarantors shall execute and deliver to AERC
this Guaranty.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order
to induce AERC to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, Guarantors hereby agree with AERC as follows:

                  SECTION 1. GUARANTY. Lanny M. Kalik, James C. Elwood and Edwin
B. Wayman, severally and each of the other Guarantors, jointly and severally,
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to AERC (i) the
full, complete and prompt performance and observance of all of the obligations,
duties and agreements of MIG arising under the Purchase Agreement in strict
accordance with the terms and conditions thereof (the "Obligations"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this Guaranty shall be limited to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000), in the aggregate, and will be further limited with respect
to Lanny M. Kalik to $_________________, James C. Elwood to $_________________
and Edwin B. Wayman to $_________________, respectively. All recoveries
hereunder up to a total of $250,000 in the aggregate will be allocated and
apportioned between the Guarantors in proportion to their respective maximum
liability amounts set out in the preceding sentence (and, for purposes of this
sentence only, the respective amounts of each of Larry Wright and James Cote'
will be one-half of the amount by which $250,000 exceeds the total of the
maximum liability amounts of Kalik, Elwood and Wayman). There shall be counted
and charged against the respective maximum liability amounts of Kalik, Elwood
and Wayman hereunder any amounts recovered from them in respect of
"substantially prevailing party" legal fees under Section 17.03 of the Purchase
Agreement. All payments by Guarantors or any Guarantor shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Guarantor's liability shall extend to all amounts that
constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by MIG or the Management
Team to AERC under the Purchase Agreement, but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to 


                                      -50-
   119

the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving
MIG.

                  SECTION 2. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. Lanny M. Kalik, James C. Elwood
and Edwin B. Wayman severally and each of the other Guarantors, jointly and
severally, guarantee that the Obligations will performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, irrespective of:

                      (i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or
                  performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
                  Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
                  consent to departure from the Purchase Agreement; or

                      (iii) any failure to give notice to any Guarantor of MIG's
                  failure to perform any of the Obligations when required, or of
                  any default or event of default under the Purchase Agreement.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if, at any time, any of the Obligations are rescinded by AERC upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of MIG or otherwise, all as though such
recision had not occurred.

                  SECTION 3. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE.Guarantors hereby waive
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to
any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and, any requirement that AERC exhaust
any right or take any action against MIG or any other person or entity or any
real or personal property of MIG or any other person or entity.

                  SECTION 4. NO SUBROGATION. Guarantors hereby waive and
relinquish any right to subrogation or other right or claim to payment against
MIG arising out of or on account of any sum paid or agreed to be paid by
Guarantors under this Guaranty, whether such right or claim is liquidated,
unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured. If any amount shall be
paid to Guarantors or any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at
any time prior to the performance of all Obligations then to be performed, such
amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor or Guarantors, as the
case may be, and held in trust, for the benefit of AERC and shall forthwith be
paid to AERC to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured 


                                      -51-
   120

or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Guarantors
acknowledge that they will receive direct and indirect benefits for the
arrangements contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and that the waiver set
forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Guarantors consent and agree that AERC shall not be under any obligation to
marshall any assets in favor of Guarantors or any Guarantor or against or in
performance of any or all of the Obligations. This Section 4 is made for the
express benefit of MIG as well as AERC and may be enforced independently by MIG.

                  SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Guarantor
hereby represents and warrants as follows:

                           (a) The execution, delivery and performance by such
                  Guarantor of this Guaranty does not and will not (i) violate
                  any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
                  judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently
                  in effect having applicability to such Guarantor; or (ii)
                  result in a breach of or constitute a default under any
                  indenture, loan or credit agreement, lease, or any other
                  agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is a party or
                  by which he or any of his properties may be bound or affected;
                  and such Guarantor is not in default under any such law, rule,
                  regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
                  determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease
                  or instrument;

                           (b) This Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding
                  obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such
                  Guarantor in accordance with its terms;

                           (c) No authorization, consent, license, approval or
                  other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any federal,
                  state or local government or any court, governmental
                  department, commission, board, bureau, agency or
                  instrumentality thereof, is or will be required for the due
                  execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this
                  Guaranty; and

                           (e) The assumption by such Guarantor of his
                  obligations under this Guaranty will result in direct
                  financial benefit to such Guarantor.

                  SECTION 6. AMENDMENTS, WAIVER, ETC. (a) No amendment or waiver
of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by Guarantor
herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by AERC, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

                  (b) The waiver (whether expressed or implied) by AERC of any
breach 


                                      -52-
   121

of the terms or conditions of this Guaranty, shall not prejudice any remedy of
AERC in respect of any continuing or other breach of the terms and conditions
hereof, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which AERC
would otherwise have on any future occasion under this Guaranty.

                  (c) No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the
part of AERC any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty, shall operate as
a waiver thereof or a consent thereto; further, no single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

                  SECTION 7. ACTIONS. Each failure of Guarantors or any
Guarantor to perform any part or portion of the Obligations when required shall
give rise to a separate cause of action against Guarantors or any Guarantor
under this Guaranty and separate suits may be brought against Guarantors or any
Guarantor hereunder as each cause of action arises.

                  SECTION 8. CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the complete and
prompt performance of the Obligations and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor,
and his respective heirs and representatives; and (iii) inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by AERC and their respective successors, transferees and
assigns.

                  SECTION 9. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this
Guaranty is or shall become illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall remain
legal, valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction and such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision shall be legal, valid and enforceable in any other
jurisdiction.

                  SECTION 10. GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Florida, without
reference to principles of conflicts of law.

                  SECTION 11. JURISDICTION. Any litigation or other formal
dispute resolution process under, concerning, arising out or relating to this
Guaranty or the performance of any duty or obligation of any Guarantor hereunder
shall be brought, instituted, maintained and conducted solely and exclusively in
the Florida State or Federal courts sitting in Broward County, Florida (or the
Federal District Court for Broward County). Each party to this Guaranty
irrevocably consents to jurisdiction over its person and property in and by, and
venue in, such courts for purposes of adjudicating any and all disputes arising
under, concerning, or relating in any way to this Guaranty or any subject matter
hereof or matter addressed or dealt with herein. AERC agrees to use reasonable
efforts to join all parties to this Guaranty and MIG in a single action in the
event that any litigation is commenced by AERC hereunder.

         no action or failed to take any action nor has, to Seller's actual
         knowledge, any other party to any of the Construction Documents taken
         any action which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or

         otherwise entitle either party to damages or a right to terminate, and
         no such other party has given written notice with respect to any
         alleged material default by Seller or the Partnership under any such

Seller shall have the same force and effect as if Buyer undertook no due
diligence, investigation or analysis and Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Seller shall
be unaffected by any such due diligence, investigation or analysis; provided,
however, that Buyer shall not be entitled to recover on any representation or
warranty set forth in this Agreement if Buyer's due diligence made Buyer
actually aware, prior to Closing, of any matter which is contrary to those
representations and warranties, but no such knowledge shall affect the rights of
Buyer to decline to close hereunder if any of the Closing conditions under
Section 7(a) hereof are not satisfied.

         lease to which Buyer is a party.

                  (c) To the best of Buyer's knowledge, there is no litigation,

                                      -12-

   141

         6. TITLE AND POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY.

                  (a) It shall be a condition to Buyer's obligation to close
         hereunder that the Title Company deliver at Closing to Buyer (for the
         benefit of the Partnership) an ALTA owner's policy of title insurance,
         1970 Form B (rev. 10-17-70 and 10-17-84) or other rated form acceptable
         to Buyer, with the standard exceptions deleted, and with such
         endorsements as 

                                      -13-

   142



         Buyer may reasonably require, including, without limitation, non-
         imputation and fairways endorsements, in the amount of $40,000,000 (the
         "Title Policy") issued by the Title Company, as assurance that upon the
         Closing, the Partnership holds and will hold good, valid, and
         marketable title in fee simple absolute to the Property including all
         rights, privileges, and easements appurtenant to the Property free and
         clear of all encumbrances whatsoever, except as follows (collectively,
         the "Permitted Exceptions):

                           (i) zoning ordinances and regulations; provided the
                  same do not interfere with the use of the Property as an
                  apartment complex;

                           (ii) general real estate taxes which are a lien but
                  are not past due or delinquent at the Closing Date;

                           (iii) rights of tenants under Tenant Leases; and

                           (iv) such easements, covenants, conditions,
                  reservations, and restrictions of record disclosed to and
                  approved by Buyer, in writing, unless otherwise waived or
                  deemed waived by Buyer as hereinafter provided.

                  (b) Seller represents, warrants, and covenants to Buyer that
         upon the Closing Date the Partnership will have complete possession of
         the Property.

                  (c) Buyer shall obtain, as promptly as reasonably practicable
         after the execution of this Agreement a current commitment issued by
         the Title Company to issue the Title Policy (the "Title Commitment")
         with copies of all instruments referred to as exceptions or conditions
         in the Title Commitment, setting forth all real estate taxes and
         special assessments, the state of record title to the Property and all
         exceptions to, or encumbrances upon, title to the Property which would
         appear in the Title Policy. Buyer shall have until the end of the Due
         Diligence Period (as defined in Section 9 of this Agreement) to review
         such items and to give notice to Seller of such objections as Buyer may
         have to any matters set forth in the Title Commitment or survey. Seller
         understands and agrees that prior to the expiration of the Due
         Diligence Period, Buyer may deliver to Seller an objection letter or


                                      -14-

   143



         objection letters at any time during the Due Diligence Period and
         Seller agrees that any such delivery or deliveries shall not be
         construed in any way to limit or restrict Buyer's right to deliver
         additional objections to Seller at any time during Due Diligence
         Period. If Buyer timely (i.e during the Due Diligence Period) objects
         to any special assessments, defects or encumbrances, Seller shall have
         until the end of the Due Diligence Period to have such exceptions
         cured, either by the removal of such exceptions or by the procurement
         of title insurance endorsements or other resolution satisfactory to
         Buyer providing coverage against loss or damage as a result of such
         exceptions. If Seller shall not cure such defects or encumbrances to
         Buyer's satisfaction by the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, at
         its option, may (i) terminate this Agreement upon written notice of
         termination to Seller in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement,
         in which event neither party shall thereafter have any liability to the
         other (except as to matters which, under any other provision of this
         Agreement are expressly stated to survive a termination of this
         Agreement), and all funds previously paid or deposited by Buyer,
         including all accrued interest, shall be returned to Buyer, or (ii)
         waive its objection to the defects or encumbrances and proceed to the
         Closing in which event all such waived defects or encumbrances shall be
         deemed to be Permitted Exceptions hereunder. Notwithstanding the above,
         any defects in the nature of (i) consensual liens affirmatively granted
         by Seller, (ii) mechanics' liens, (iii) judgement liens or (iv) non-
         consensual liens (other than mechanics' or judgement liens) which do
         not exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate that
         can be released by payment of the underlying obligation, shall be
         removed, bonded or title insured over by Seller and if not so removed,
         bonded or title insured over by the Closing then such amount shall be
         charged against the capital accounts of the Limited Partners (as
         defined in the Contribution Agreement) all as more fully provided in
         Section 11 hereof. Buyer shall conclusively be 

                                     -15-

   144



         deemed to have waived all objections to any title or survey defect,
         encumbrance or exception reflected or referenced in the Title
         Commitment or survey as to which Buyer fails to deliver to Seller a
         written objection by the end of the Due Diligence Period, and all such
         matters shall thereafter be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions for
         purposes of this Agreement.

   148

inspecting or determining the condition of any part or all of the Project or
records or information relating thereto (excluding internal reports expressing

coordinate and accompany Buyer on any of such inspections. Any and all
inspections, examinations, analyses and audits deemed necessary by Buyer shall
be performed at Buyer's expense and shall not physically damage the Project.
Buyer shall promptly and completely repair and restore any and all damage to the
Project that may be caused by, or may occur in connection with or as a result

liability, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
expenses) arising out of physical damages or injuries to persons or property
caused by Buyer's inspections, investigations, audits, tests or visits to the
Project. Buyer's restoration and indemnification obligations set forth in this
Section shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. At Buyer's
request, Seller shall promptly after the execution of this Agreement, deliver to
Buyer or make available for inspection and copying to Buyer the following, if in
Seller's possession or control:

         wetlands delineations, as Buyer may reasonably request and any
         authorizations reasonably necessary for Buyer, at Buyer's expense, to
         update such assessment or information, or reasonably necessary for
         Buyer, at Buyer's expense, or its agents to independently assess the
         environmental condition of the Property;

                  (b) a copy of Seller's most recent complete boundary survey of
         the Project

                                      -20-

   149



         (Buyer shall be entitled to receive and approve as set forth herein an
         updated and upgraded survey as reasonably required by Buyer);

                  (c) true and correct copies of the Books and Records for the
         Project, the Construction Documents, Tenant Leases, personal property
         leases, project contracts and any other document, instrument or other
         writing relating to the Project (but not internal expressions or
         opinions concerning the value of the Project, any personal information
         relating to the principals of Seller or matters that do not relate to
         the Project) or the operation thereof as Buyer may reasonably request;

                  (d) a listing of all individuals, if any, who work either on a
         full or part time basis at the Project and all such individuals'
         positions and salaries regardless of who such individuals are employed
         by; and

                  (e) true and correct copies of all documents and instruments
         relating to any mortgage indebtedness.

                  Without limiting the rights accorded to Buyer pursuant to
Section 7 hereof, at any time during or at the end of the Due Diligence Period,
Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement (by giving
notice of such termination to Seller). Buyer shall notify Seller in writing
either during or at the end of the Due Diligence Period with respect to whether
or not Buyer elects to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. If Buyer's written notice to Seller indicates that Buyer has elected
to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement then the parties
shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, proceed
to the Closing. If Buyer's written notice to Seller indicates that Buyer has
elected not to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement then
this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned
to Buyer. Upon termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this Section
9, neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the 

                                      -21-

   150



other, except as to matters which this Agreement expressly states are to survive
a termination of this Agreement.

         10. CLOSING DATE. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, the
Closing shall occur, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7 of this
Agreement, on a date designated by Buyer in writing, which date shall not be
later than June 2, 1998, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission reviews
Buyer's proxy statement in which case such date shall be no later than June 30,
1998 (the "Closing Date").

                  If Buyer fails to close hereunder even though all conditions
to its obligations hereunder have been satisfied, or if Buyer otherwise is in
default of any of its material obligations under this Agreement, Seller may, so
long as Seller is not in default of any of its material obligations under this
Agreement, terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Buyer, in
which case Seller shall receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and
neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the other
except for Buyer's obligation to repair damage as set forth in Section 9 above.

                  Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any
time after the Due Diligence Period by providing written notice to Seller.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that
Buyer terminates this Agreement after the Due Diligence Period, other than by
reason of a right afforded Buyer under the terms and provisions hereunder and
Seller has otherwise timely and fully complied with all of its obligations
hereunder, Seller shall receive the Earnest Money Deposit as liquidated damages
and neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the other,
except for Buyer's obligation to repair damage as set forth in Section 9 above.

         11. PRORATIONS AND CLOSING COSTS. There shall be no proration,
adjustment or final reading for any item of any kind (including, without
limitation):

                                      -22-

   151



                  (a) Payments for any licenses or permits;

                  (b) All salaries, benefits or payroll taxes for employees of
         the Partnership; and 

                  (c) Except with respect to delinquent real estate taxes and
         assessments that shall be paid in full by Seller at Closing, Buyer
         shall pay all closing costs relating to this transaction, including,
         (i) any escrow fee at the Closing, (ii) the cost of a new or upgraded
         or updated survey of the Property and (iii) the cost of the Title
         Policy together with all endorsements attached thereto. Each party
         shall pay its own attorneys' fees. Buyer agrees to accept the
         Partnership Interest without any reduction in the Purchase Price or any
         other credit or adjustment of any kind relative to or on account of (i)
         items customarily prorated in the sale of real estate or (ii) the
         indebtedness, liabilities, accrued expenses and obligations of the
         Partnership arising on the Closing Date (except for indebtedness or
         obligations incurred by Seller in violation of the provisions of this
         Agreement). Any positive net cash flow generated from operations of the
         Project shall be accumulated and either delivered or credited to Buyer
         after Closing.

         12. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. Seller agrees to promptly advise Buyer in
writing of any material damage to the Project. If all or any substantial portion
of the Project (i.e. 10% or more of the value) shall, prior to the Closing, be
damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, and such damage shall not have
been repaired or reconstructed prior to the Closing in a good and workmanlike
manner to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, Buyer may, at Buyer's option:
(a) remain obligated to perform this Agreement and receive all insurance
proceeds received by or payable to Seller as a result of such damage or
destruction plus an amount equal to any insurance policy deductible; or (b) by
written notice of termination given to Seller not later than thirty (30) days
after Seller provides Buyer with written notice of such damage or destruction,
terminate this Agreement and receive any documents, instruments and funds
previously deposited or paid

                                      -23-

   152



including the Earnest Money Deposit (together with all interest earned thereon).
If an unsubstantial portion of the Project (i.e. 10% or less of the value)
shall, prior to the Closing, be damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause
and such damage shall not have been repaired or reconstructed prior to the
Closing in a good and workmanlike manner to the reasonable satisfaction of
Buyer, then Buyer shall be obligated to proceed to close the transaction
contemplated hereby, but shall receive from Seller, on the Closing Date, an
assignment of proceeds of the insurance payable under Seller's insurance policy
plus an amount equal to any insurance policy deductible. Upon termination of
this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to this Section 12, neither party shall
thereafter be under any further liability to the other, except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Agreement.

         13. CONDEMNATION AND EMINENT DOMAIN. If, prior to the Closing Date, all
or any portion of the Project shall be subjected to a taking, either total or
partial, by eminent domain, condemnation, or for any public or quasi-public use,
Buyer shall have the right to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving
written notice of termination to Seller, in which event all funds and documents
deposited by Buyer and Seller shall be refunded or returned to the depositing
party and neither party shall thereafter be under any further liability to the
other and Buyer shall receive the Earnest Money Deposit, or (b) proceed to close
this transaction in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer all proceeds
resulting from such taking. Seller and Buyer each agree to forward promptly to
the other any notice of intent received pertaining to a taking of all or a
portion of the Project by way of condemnation, eminent domain or similar
procedure for a taking of the Project in connection with any public or
quasi-public use.

         14. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall fully indemnify
         and hold Seller and its officers, directors, representatives,
         successors, and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims,
         demands, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including
         reasonable

                                      -24-

   153



         attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with (i) the failure
         of Buyer to perform in any material respect any of its obligations
         hereunder, (ii) any material breach or inaccuracy of any representation
         or warranty of Buyer hereunder or (iii) the ownership of the Project or
         the Partnership Interest if that claim, demand, loss, liability, damage
         or expense first arises, accrues or exists from and after the Closing
         (except to the extent that such indemnification obligation would arise
         directly as a result of the inaccuracy of any representation or
         warranty or breach of any covenant made by Seller hereunder) or (iv)
         claims by third parties relating to contracts entered into by the
         Partnership or liabilities incurred by the Partnership (except to the
         extent that such indemnification obligation would arise directly as a
         result of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or breach of
         any covenant made by Buyer hereunder).

                  (b) From and after the Closing, subject to the limitations set
         forth in Section 14(c) below, Seller and the Management Team, jointly
         and severally, shall fully indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer, its
         officers, directors, successors, and assigns harmless from and against
         any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses
         (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection
         with (i) the failure of Seller or the Management Team to perform in any
         material respect any of its obligations hereunder or (ii) the material
         inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Seller or the
         Management Team hereunder.

                  (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
         Agreement or the Contribution Agreement, (i) Seller's liability under
         this Agreement (taken together with Seller's liability under the
         Contribution Agreement relating to the same matters) shall be limited
         to an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
         ($250,000) in the aggregate and (ii) each member of the Management
         Team's liability under this Agreement and the Contribution Agreement
         shall be limited to an amount equal to the total compensation received
         by each such member of the Management Team under this Agreement



                                      -25-
   154

         and the Contribution Agreement which amounts are set forth on EXHIBIT L
         attached hereto and made a part hereof. Each member of the Management
         Team shall have the option of satisfying any indemnification obligation
         owed to Buyer hereunder either (i) by satisfying such obligation in
         cash (such cash payment to be delivered by certified check or wire
         transfer in immediately available funds) or (ii) subject to the
         limitations described in this Section 14(c) below, by delivering and
         assigning to Buyer all of such member's respective right, title and
         interest in and to such of the limited partnership units in HP having a
         value (set for these purposes, as such units' value on the Closing
         Date) equal to the amount that it receives pursuant to the terms of the
         Contribution Agreement. The right to elect to exercise option (ii)
         above in connection with the satisfaction of any indemnification
         obligation owed to Buyer may be exercised only with respect to such
         limited partnership units owned by such member that can be assigned and
         delivered to Buyer free and clear of all liens, pledges, restrictions
         and encumbrances whatsoever. Each member of the Management Team
         acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have no obligation to accept
         the assignment and delivery of any limited partnership units
         contemplated by option (ii) above unless and until the member or
         members of the Management Team (as the case may be) seeking to exercise
         the rights provided in option (ii) deliver to Buyer (x) a certificate
         representing and warranting that such member owns those of his
         respective limited partnership units in HP being tendered free and
         clear of all liens, pledges, restrictions and encumbrances whatsoever
         and (y) uniform commercial code searches of all applicable
         jurisdictions reasonably requested by Buyer that show no encumbrances
         on such member's limited partnership units in HP.



                                      -26-
   155

                  (d) Except for any claim relating to a breach of any
         representation and warranty set forth in Section 3(o) of this
         Agreement, any claim for indemnification under clause (ii) of Section
         14(a) or Section 14(b) must be asserted in writing and with specificity
         by the date (the "Claim Expiration Date") that is three hundred sixty
         five (365) days after the Closing Date, and any and all claims not so
         asserted by the applicable Claim Expiration Date shall automatically
         expire and be deemed to have been forever waived, released and of no
         force or effect.

         15. MECHANICS' LIENS. Seller and Buyer each agree to give the other
notice of any lien promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof.

         16. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

                  (c) Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other
         that such party has had no dealing with any real estate broker or agent
         so as to entitle such broker or agent to any commission in connection
         with the sale of the Partnership Interest to Buyer, which
         representations and warranties shall survive the closing of the
         transactions contemplated hereby. If for any reason any such commission
         shall become due, the party who retained such broker shall pay any such
         commission and agrees to indemnify and save the other


                                      -28-
   157

         party harmless from any and all claims for any such commission and from
         any attorneys' fees and litigation or other expenses relating to any
         such claim.

                  (d) This Agreement may not be assigned by Seller without the
         prior written consent of Buyer. This Agreement may be assigned by Buyer
         without the prior written consent of Seller to an entity wholly owned
         or controlled by Buyer but no such assignment shall relieve Buyer from
         its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
         inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
         successors and permitted assigns.

                  (e) After the Closing, the parties shall execute and deliver
         such further documents and instruments of conveyance, sale, assignment,
         transfer or otherwise, and shall take or cause to be taken such other
         or further action as either party shall reasonably request at any time
         or from time to time in order to effectuate the terms and provisions of
         this Agreement.

                  (f) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
         accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

                  (g) This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
         each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken
         together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                  (h) If the date for performance of any act under this
         Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, the date for
         such performance shall automatically be extended to the first
         succeeding business which is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday.

                  (i) Lanny M. Kalik, James C. Elwood and Edwin B. Wayman hereby
         join in this Agreement solely for the purpose of confirming their
         respective agreements to execute 



                                      -29-
   158

         and deliver the guaranty attached as EXHIBIT K and the Development
         Consulting Agreement attached as EXHIBIT M on or before the Closing
         Date, and Wright and Cote', also hereby agree, without limiting or
         diminishing their obligations under this Agreement as members of the
         Management Team, to execute and deliver the guaranty attached as
         EXHIBIT K.

                  (j) Any litigation or other formal dispute resolution process
         under, concerning, arising out or relating to this Agreement or the
         performance of any duty or obligation hereunder shall be brought,
         instituted, maintained and conducted solely and exclusively in the
         Florida State or Federal courts sitting in Orange County, Florida (or
         the Federal District Court for Orange County). Each party to this
         Agreement irrevocably consents to jurisdiction over its person and
         property in and by, and venue in, such courts for purposes of
         adjudicating any and all disputes arising under, concerning, or
         relating in any way to this Agreement or any subject matter hereof or
         matter addressed or dealt with herein. Buyer agrees to use reasonable
         efforts to join all parties to this Agreement and the guaranty attached
         as EXHIBIT K in a single action in the event that any litigation is
         commenced by Buyer hereunder or under or in respect of any such
         guaranty. If any dispute or litigation arises under this Agreement or
         concerning the subject matter hereof, the reasonable costs and expenses
         thereof (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable
         attorneys' fees and expenses for all appellate and trial court
         proceedings) shall be paid and reimbursed to the substantially
         prevailing party by the non-prevailing party whether or not a final
         judgment on the merits of such dispute is ever entered in such
         litigation, with the court to determine who is the substantially
         prevailing party for these purposes (which party need not be awarded,
         or otherwise receive, all of the relief it had request in order to be
         deemed "substantially prevailing" for purposes hereof). Notwithstanding
         any of the other provisions 



                                      -30-
   159

         of this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer is deemed to be the
         substantially prevailing party in any of the litigation discussed above
         and the amount of such fees, together with the amount of any relief or
         judgments granted to Buyer as a result of such litigation, exceed (i)
         Seller's limitation on liability set forth in Section 14(c) hereof or
         (ii) any of Lanny M. Kalik's, James C. Elwood's or Edwin B. Wayman's
         respective limitations on liability set forth in the guaranty attached
         hereto as EXHIBIT K, then each member of the Management Team, jointly
         and severally, hereby agrees to pay and reimburse Buyer for all such
         excess costs, without regard to the liability limitations set forth in
         Section 14(c) of this Agreement and will promptly pay and reimburse to
         Buyer all such excess costs and expenses.

                  (k) It is understood and agreed that before the Closing Date,
         Seller will cause the Partnership to do the following, all without any
         reduction in the consideration being delivered by Buyer to Seller
         hereunder: Transfer and assign to Elwood and Kalik any world wide
         right, title and interest that Seller may presently have in the
         Approved Plans and Specifications. Buyer acknowledges and agrees as
         follows (i) neither it nor the Partnership will have any right of any
         kind to have or use the Approved Plans and Specifications other than
         the Partnership's right to use the same in connection with the
         ownership and operation of the Project and (ii) until the fifth
         anniversary of the Closing Date, neither it nor the Partnership will,
         directly or indirectly or through a corporation, partnership or entity
         that either of them owns, use (without the consent of Elwood and Kalik)
         any of the architects listed in SCHEDULE 17(k) attached hereto and made
         a part hereof (who are architects that Elwood and Kalik have used, and
         expect to use in the future, in connection with their development or
         construction of garden apartment projects in Florida) in connection
         with their development in Florida of any 2-story or 3-story garden
         apartment projects having between 200 and 800 units. The restriction
         contained in subpart (ii) of the preceding 


                                      -31-
   160

         sentence is not intended to restrict Buyer, nor shall it prohibit
         Buyer, the Partnership or any corporation, partnership or entity that
         either of them owns from acquiring any apartment project in Florida
         that was architecturally designed in whole or in part by any of the
         architects listed in SCHEDULE 17(k) nor from entering into a contract
         with any builder/developer or other person for the purpose of acquiring
         an apartment project upon completion of construction, which is
         designed, in whole or in part, by any of the architects listed in
         SCHEDULE 17(k) pursuant to a bona fide transaction initiated by that
         builder/developer or other person.

                  (l) The parties acknowledge that the transactions contemplated
         by this Agreement do NOT constitute a sale, conveyance or transfer of
         real property. Nevertheless, to avoid any possibility that the letter,
         the spirit or the general policy reflected in the relevant Florida
         statute would not be satisfied, the parties include the following
         legend here: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when
         it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present
         health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of
         radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in
         buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon
         testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have signed four
counterparts of this Agreement, each of which shall be deemed to be an original
document, as of the date set forth above, which date shall be date upon which
Buyer executes this Agreement.

                                    GUARANTY
                                    --------


                  GUARANTY, dated as of ____________ ___, 1998, made by LARRY
WRIGHT, JAMES A. COTE', LANNY M. KALIK ("Kalik") , JAMES C. ELWOOD ("Elwood")
and EDWIN B. WAYMAN ("Wayman") (collectively the "Guarantors" or singularly a
"Guarantor"), in favor of ASSOCIATED ESTATES REALTY CORPORATION, an Ohio
corporation ("AEC") and [AERC REIT Sub, an ___________________ ("Sub")] AEC and
sub collectively "AERC").

                  PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

                  (1) AEC, as subsequently assigned to Sub, has entered into a
Partnership Interest Purchase dated March __, 1998 (the "Purchase Agreement")
with MIG Development Company, a Florida corporation ("MIG"), pursuant to which,
subject to certain conditions, Sub will purchase the Partnership Interest (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) from to MIG.

                  (2) It is a condition precedent to Sub purchasing the
Partnership Interest from MIG that Guarantors shall execute and deliver to AERC
this Guaranty.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order
to induce AERC to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, Guarantors hereby agree with AERC as follows:

                  SECTION 1. GUARANTY. Lanny M. Kalik, James C. Elwood and Edwin
B. Wayman, severally and each of the other Guarantors, jointly and severally,
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to AERC (i) the
full, complete and prompt performance and observance of all of the obligations,
duties and agreements of MIG arising under the Purchase Agreement in strict
accordance with the terms and conditions thereof (the "Obligations"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this Guaranty shall be limited to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000), in the aggregate, and will be further limited with respect
to Lanny M. Kalik to $_________________, James C. Elwood to $_________________
and Edwin B. Wayman to $_________________, respectively. All recoveries
hereunder up to a total of $250,000 in the aggregate will be allocated and
apportioned between the Guarantors in proportion to their respective maximum
liability amounts set out in the preceding sentence (and, for purposes of this
sentence only, the respective amounts of each of Larry Wright and James Cote'
will be one-half of the amount by which $250,000 exceeds the total of the
maximum liability amounts of Kalik, Elwood and Wayman). There shall be counted
and charged against the respective maximum liability amounts of Kalik, Elwood
and Wayman hereunder any amounts recovered from them in respect of
"substantially prevailing party" legal fees under Section 17.03 of the Purchase
Agreement. All payments by Guarantors or any Guarantor shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Guarantor's liability shall extend to all amounts that
constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by MIG or the Management
Team to AERC under the Purchase Agreement, but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving MIG.

                  SECTION 2. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. Lanny M. Kalik, James C. Elwood
and Edwin B.

   172



Wayman severally and each of the other Guarantors, jointly and severally,
guarantee that the Obligations will performed strictly in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, irrespective of:

                      (i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or
                  performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
                  Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
                  consent to departure from the Purchase Agreement; or

                      (iii) any failure to give notice to any Guarantor of MIG's
                  failure to perform any of the Obligations when required, or of
                  any default or event of default under the Purchase Agreement.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if, at any time, any of the Obligations are rescinded by AERC upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of MIG or otherwise, all as though such
recision had not occurred.


                                      -44-
   173

                  SECTION 3. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE.Guarantors hereby waive
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to
any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and, any requirement that AERC exhaust
any right or take any action against MIG or any other person or entity or any
real or personal property of MIG or any other person or entity.

                  SECTION 4. NO SUBROGATION. Guarantors hereby waive and
relinquish any right to subrogation or other right or claim to payment against
MIG arising out of or on account of any sum paid or agreed to be paid by
Guarantors under this Guaranty, whether such right or claim is liquidated,
unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured. If any amount shall be
paid to Guarantors or any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at
any time prior to the performance of all Obligations then to be performed, such
amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor or Guarantors, as the
case may be, and held in trust, for the benefit of AERC and shall forthwith be
paid to AERC to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Guarantors
acknowledge that they will receive direct and indirect benefits for the
arrangements contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and that the waiver set
forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Guarantors consent and agree that AERC shall not be under any obligation to
marshall any assets in favor of Guarantors or any Guarantor or against or in
performance of any or all of the Obligations. This Section 4 is made for the
express benefit of MIG as well as AERC and may be enforced independently by MIG.

                  SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Guarantor
hereby represents and warrants as follows:

                           (a) The execution, delivery and performance by such
                  Guarantor of this Guaranty does not and will not (i) violate
                  any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
                  judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently
                  in effect having applicability to such Guarantor; or (ii)
                  result in a breach of or constitute a default under any
                  indenture, loan or credit agreement, lease, or any other
                  agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is a party or
                  by which he or any of his properties may be bound or affected;
                  and such Guarantor is not in default under any such law, rule,
                  regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
                  determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease
                  or instrument;

                           (b) This Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding
                  obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such
                  Guarantor in accordance with its terms;

                           (c) No authorization, consent, license, approval or
                  other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any federal,
                  state or local government or any court, governmental
                  department, commission, board, bureau, agency or
                  instrumentality thereof, is or will be required for the due
                  execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this
                  Guaranty; and

                           (e) The assumption by such Guarantor of his
                  obligations under this Guaranty will result in direct
                  financial benefit to such Guarantor.


                                      -45-
   174

                  SECTION 6. AMENDMENTS, WAIVER, ETC. (a) No amendment or waiver
of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by Guarantor
herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by AERC, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

                  (b) The waiver (whether expressed or implied) by AERC of any
breach of the terms or conditions of this Guaranty, shall not prejudice any
remedy of AERC in respect of any continuing or other breach of the terms and
conditions hereof, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy
which AERC would otherwise have on any future occasion under this Guaranty.

                  (c) No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the
part of AERC any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty, shall operate as
a waiver thereof or a consent thereto; further, no single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

                  SECTION 7. ACTIONS. Each failure of Guarantors or any
Guarantor to perform any part or portion of the Obligations when required shall
give rise to a separate cause of action against Guarantors or any Guarantor
under this Guaranty and separate suits may be brought against Guarantors or any
Guarantor hereunder as each cause of action arises.

                  SECTION 8. CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the complete and
prompt performance of the Obligations and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor,
and his respective heirs and representatives; and (iii) inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by AERC and their respective successors, transferees and
assigns.

                  SECTION 9. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this
Guaranty is or shall become illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of this Guaranty shall remain
legal, valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction and such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision shall be legal, valid and enforceable in any other
jurisdiction.

                  SECTION 10. GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of Florida, without
reference to principles of conflicts of law.

                  SECTION 11. JURISDICTION. Any litigation or other formal
dispute resolution process under, concerning, arising out or relating to this
Guaranty or the performance of any duty or obligation of any Guarantor hereunder
shall be brought, instituted, maintained and conducted solely and exclusively in
the Florida State or Federal courts sitting in Broward County, Florida (or the
Federal District Court for Broward County). Each party to this Guaranty
irrevocably consents to jurisdiction over its person and property in and by, and
venue in, such courts for purposes of adjudicating any and all disputes arising
under, concerning, or relating in any way to this Guaranty or any subject matter
hereof or matter addressed or dealt with herein. AERC agrees to use reasonable
efforts to join all parties to this Guaranty and MIG in a single action in the
event that any litigation is commenced by AERC hereunder.

            FORMULA FOR VALUATION OF HOLLYWOOD PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

I.       A UNIT AND B UNIT VALUATIONS: Each A Unit and B Unit shall be equal in
         value to the value of a common share, without par value, of AERC
         ("COMMON SHARES") based upon the following formula:

         (i)      if the Closing Share Price is greater than or equal to 106% of
                  the Average Share Price, the value of each A and B Unit shall
                  equal the result of the Closing Share Price divided by 1.06;

         (ii)     if the Closing Share Price is less than or equal to the
                  Average Share Price, the value of each A and B Unit shall
                  equal the Closing Share Price; or

         (iii)    if the Closing Share Price is greater than the Average Share
                  Price but less than 106% of the Average Share Price, the value
                  of each A and B Unit shall equal the Average Share Price. 

                  For purposes of this Formula:

                  (A)      "AVERAGE SHARE PRICE" shall mean the average of the
                           closing prices on the New York Stock Exchange of the
                           Common Shares for the twenty (20) Trading Days
                           immediately preceding the date hereof.

                  (B)      "CLOSING SHARE PRICE" shall mean the average closing
