sales of Offered Securities pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts, the
Operating Partnership hereby authorizes the Underwriters to solicit offers to
purchase Contract Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Prospectus pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts. Delayed
Delivery Contracts may be entered into only with institutional investors
approved by the Operating Partnership of the types set forth in the
Prospectus. On the Closing Date, the Operating Partnership will pay to the
Manager as compensation for the accounts of the Underwriters the commission
set forth in the Underwriting Agreement in respect of the Contract Securities.
The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity
or the performance of any Delayed Delivery Contracts.
If the Operating Partnership executes and delivers Delayed
Delivery Contracts with institutional investors, the aggregate amount of
Offered Securities to be purchased by the several Underwriters shall be
reduced by the aggregate amount of Contract Securities; such reduction shall
be applied to the commitment of each Underwriter pro rata in proportion to the
amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in the
Underwriting Agreement, except to the extent that the Manager determines that
such reduction shall be applied in other proportions and so advises the
Operating Partnership; provided, however, that the total amount of Offered
Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the aggregate amount
set forth above, less the aggregate amount of Contract Securities.
3. Terms of Public Offering. The Operating Partnership is advised
by the Manager that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of
their respective portions of the Underwriters' Securities as soon after this
Agreement has been entered into as in the Manager's judgment is advisable. The
terms of the public offering of the Underwriters' Securities are set forth in
the Prospectus.
4. Payment and Delivery. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, payment for the Underwriters' Securities shall be made by a wire
transfer to the Operating Partnership in immediately available funds at the
time and place set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, upon delivery to the
Manager for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the
Underwriters' Securities registered in such names and in such denominations
as the Manager shall request in writing not less than two full business days
prior to the date of delivery, with any transfer taxes payable in connection
with the transfer of the Underwriters' Securities to the Underwriters duly
paid.

Agreement and prior to the Closing Date:

notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any

securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as
such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act;
and
(ii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development
involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in
the earnings, business or operations of the REIT Entities, taken as a whole,

supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement) that, in the
judgment of the Manager, is material and adverse and that makes it, in the
judgment of the Manager, impracticable to market the Offered Securities on the
terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(e) To make generally available to the Operating Partnership's
security holders and to the Manager as soon as practicable an earning
statement covering a twelve month period beginning on the first day of the
first full fiscal quarter after the date of this Agreement, which earning
statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. If such fiscal
quarter is the last fiscal quarter of the Operating Partnership's fiscal year,
such earning statement shall be made available not later than 90 days after
the close of the period covered thereby and in all other cases shall be made
available not later than 45 days after the close of the period covered
thereby.
(f) During the period beginning on the date of the Underwriting
Agreement and continuing to and including the Closing Date, not to offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Operating
Partnership substantially similar to the Offered Securities (other than (i)
the Offered Securities and (ii) commercial paper issued in the ordinary
course of business), without the prior written consent of the Manager.
(g) To pay all expenses incident to the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the preparation and filing
of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and all amendments and
supplements thereto; (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the
Offered Securities; (iii) the fees and disbursements of the Company's and the
Operating Partnership's counsel and accountants and of the Trustee and its
counsel; (iv) the qualification of the Offered Securities under state
securities or Blue Sky laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(d),
including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of
any Blue Sky or Legal Investment Memoranda; (v) the printing and delivery to
the Underwriters in quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the
Registration Statement and all amendments thereto and of any preliminary
prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto; (vi)
the printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of any Blue Sky or
Legal Investment Memoranda; (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for the
rating of the Offered Securities; (viii) the filing fees and expenses, if any,
incurred with respect to any filing with the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. made in connection with the Offered Securities; (ix)
any expenses incurred by the Operating Partnership or the Company in
connection with a "road show" presentation to potential investors.
7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the
Operating Partnership agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any Underwriter or any such controlling person
in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused
by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Operating Partnership shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any
Underwriter furnished to the Operating Partnership in writing by such
Underwriter through the Manager expressly for use therein.
(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership, the
Company's directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each
person, if any, who controls the Company and the Operating Partnership within
the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company
and the Operating Partnership to such Underwriter, but only with reference to
information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Operating
Partnership in writing by such Underwriter through the Manager expressly for
use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus
or any amendments or supplements thereto.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph 7(a) or 7(b) such person
(the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the
indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to
such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the
right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of
such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It
is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal
expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such
indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Manager, in
the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph 7(a), and by the Company
and the Operating Partnership, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to
paragraph 7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with
such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party
shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third
sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt
by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying
party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such
request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph 7(a) or 7(b)
is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Offered
Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand
and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered
Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering of such Offered Securities (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company and the Operating Partnership and the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each
case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, bear
to the aggregate public offering price of the Offered Securities. The relative
fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company and the Operating Partnership or by the
Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of
Offered Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) The Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it
would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as
one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph 7(d). The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the
public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this
Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which
may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this
Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the
Company and the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of
this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter
or any person controlling any Underwriter or the Company or the Operating
Partnership, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company
or the Operating Partnership and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of
the Offered Securities.
8. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by
notice given by the Manager to the Operating Partnership, if (a) after the
execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and prior to the Closing
Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on
or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American
Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the
Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the
Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall
have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a
general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have
been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or (iv) there
shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in
financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the
Manager, is material and adverse and (b) in the case of any of the events
specified in clauses 8(a)(i) through 8(a)(iv), such event, singly or together
with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Manager,
impracticable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
9. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date, any one or
more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters'
Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date,
and the aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not
more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of the Underwriters' Securities to
be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally
in the proportions that the amount of Underwriters' Securities set forth
opposite their respective names in the Underwriting Agreement bears to the
aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities set forth opposite the names of
all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the
Manager may specify, to purchase the Underwriters' Securities which such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to
purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the amount of
Underwriters' Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant
to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section by an amount in excess
of one-ninth of such amount of Underwriters' Securities without the written
consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters' Securities and the
aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities with respect to which such
default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of Underwriters'
Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the
Manager and the Operating Partnership for the purchase of such Underwriters'
Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement
shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter
or the Operating Partnership. In any such case either the Manager or the
Operating Partnership shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in
no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if
any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other
documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this
paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in
respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or
any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Operating
Partnership to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of
this Agreement, or if for any reason the Operating Partnership shall be unable
to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Operating Partnership will
reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this
Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses
(including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by
such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering
contemplated hereunder.
10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if
the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
11. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
12. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part
of this Agreement.

Dear Sirs and Mesdames:
The undersigned hereby agrees to purchase from Irvine Apartment
Communities, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"), and the Operating Partnership agrees to sell to the undersigned
the Operating Partnership's securities described in Schedule A annexed hereto
(the "Securities"), offered by the Operating Partnership's Prospectus dated
